PART I
Item I. Business
Celestial Ventures Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
was incorporated on January 28, 1987. The Company's initial business was the
acquisition of real estate and real estate development. The Company is no
longer involved in real estate investment or development. Since 1993, the
Company has primarily been engaged in the acquisition of businesses, divisions
of businesses, or the assets of businesses, that the Company's management
identified as having significant potential for business success. These
businesses have included valve coating and direct mail subsidiaries in the
past. As of June 30, 1997, all of the operating divisions of the Company have
been sold. In August 1997, the Company entered into an agreement in principle
to merge with a high performance materials company. In March 1998, the Company
entered into a definitive agreement under which its proposed merger partner
will merge with and into the Company. (See "Recent Developments" below.) As of
June 30, 1998, the merger has not yet been consummated.
The Company currently employees two persons neither of whom are full
time.
Direct Mail Business Acquisitions
On August 29, 1995, the Company purchased, effective as of July 1,
1995, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Success Direct, Inc., a
New Jersey corporation, a mail order business products company ("Success"), for
total consideration of 1,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the
Company. The principal stockholder of Success, Mr. Irwin Schneidmill, became
the President of the Company on August 1, 1995. 415,000 of such shares were
paid to Mr. Irwin Schneidmill, who was the 41.5% owner of the capital stock of
Success. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
Simultaneously with the acquisition of Success, Success assigned to
the Company its rights under an agreement to purchase certain business assets
from Re-Prod, Inc., including the name "Remarkable Products", and the Company
consummated the transaction with Re-Prod, Inc. The assets purchased from
Re-Prod, Inc. are related to the direct mail industry. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions".
In connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Re-Prod, Inc.,
the Company paid total consideration consisting of the following; (i) $315,000
in cash, (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $250,000 payment of which was
guaranteed by Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. John Formicola, a shareholder of the
Company, and (iii) 750,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, as to
which Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. Formicola have agreed to pay the difference
between the actual and estimated market price of the shares on a future date.
See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions".

<PAGE>
From August to December, 1995, the Company operated Success as a
wholly owned subsidiary under the tradename "Remarkable Products". On December
7, 1995, Success changed its corporate name to Remarkable Office Products, Inc.
("Remarkable"), but has continued to use the tradename "Remarkable Products".
Remarkable was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in September, 1994 and
from its inception through its acquisition by the Company in 1995 has been
engaged in the distribution of office products.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Remarkable, sold
specialized office products featuring time management and organizational tools
to small and medium-sized businesses nationwide through innovative, aggressive
direct marketing catalogs and programs. Remarkable's products include dry erase
boards and calendars with markers which can be wiped clean after use and
re-used. Remarkable also specializes in calendars and laminated products such
as large geographic wall maps, and federal law posters which many businesses
are required to post in the workplace (e.g., minimum wage posters, equal
opportunity and sexual harassment notices).
Disposition of Direct Mail Business.
On November 21, 1996, the Company, effective October 1, 1996, sold all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the "Shares") of Remarkable to
Dynamic Products Corp. ("Dynamic"), for $1,406,250.00. The assets of Remarkable
included equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The consideration paid
to the Company was as follows: (i) repayment of intercompany balance due to
Remarkable as of November 20, 1996 of $106,450.85; (ii) payment on November 21,
1996, of $43,539.15 in cash; (iii) a promissory note for $450,000.00 due
February 21, 1997, payment of which was extended until March 21, 1997; and (iv)
assumption of certain liabilities of the Registrant totaling $806,250.00. The
Company realized a gain of $431,512 on the sale. The purchase price of
Remarkable was determined in the manner of an arms length transaction. The
principles followed by the parties in determining the consideration were as
follows: Shares of Remarkable were valued at book value, and the repayment of
intercompany balance on November 20, 1996, the cash payment on November 21,
1996, the note payable due on March 21, 1997, and the assumption of certain
liabilities of the Company were each calculated at cash value. An officer,
director, and stockholder of the Purchaser is also the President, director and
stockholder of the Company. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions." The transaction was unanimously approved and ratified by the
Company's Board of Directors in accordance with Nevada corporate law.
Pursuant to an agreement dated June 20, 1997, the Company agreed to
transfer to Mr. John L. Patten, a significant shareholder of the Company, its
rights under the remaining past due $300,000 subordinated note receivable from
the purchaser in exchange for Mr. Patten's assumption of the Company's
obligations for the U.S. Powder Coaters, Inc. note payable of $170,000 to R.M.
Engineering. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." To date,
R.M. Engineering has not released the Company from its obligation under the
note payable; accordingly, the liability remained recorded at June 30, 1998.
See "Notes to Consolidated Financials." The transaction was unanimously
approved and ratified by the Registrant's Board of Directors in accordance with
Nevada corporate law.

Termination of Medical Device Production Acquisitions
In September, 1995, the Company executed a letter of intent to
purchase all of the issued and outstanding stock of Nexim Corp., a Nevada
Corporation, ("Nexim"), 100% of which was owned by Mr. Andrew Jaloza, who
became a director of the Company in January, 1996. Upon the execution of the
letter of intent, the Company paid Mr. Jaloza $100,000 as a down payment for
the purchase of Nexim. Nexim owns a technology known as Medphone, a medical
device product. The Company also invested, approximately, an additional $62,000
toward development of this product. Nexim has had no revenues and is not an
operating company. In April, 1996, the Company decided not to pursue the
acquisition of Nexim. The ultimate recovery of the invested funds is uncertain.
During the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company wrote off its entire
investment in this venture, which is included in general and administrative
expenses.
Valve and Powder Coating Operations Acquisitions
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated August 12,
1993, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Valves International, Inc. ("VII"), an Oklahoma corporation, in exchange for
850,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. As a result of this
reorganization, the Company also acquired Central Valve Services, Inc., Alloy
Valves International, Inc. and CVC International, Inc., which were wholly owned
subsidiaries of VII. VII and its subsidiaries were operating companies engaged
in the business of valve manufacturing and sales in both Oklahoma and Texas.
On October 31, 1993, the Company acquired U.S. Powder Coaters, Inc., a
corporation whose principal business consisted of treating and coating metal
and non-metal materials, in exchange for 300,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. In 1993 the Company also acquired Gulf Coast Powder Coatings, Inc. As
part of the Company's reorganization, the Company discontinued operations of
U.S. Powder Coatings, Inc. in June 1994, and management renegotiated a 50%
reduction of its debt related to its acquisition.
Disposition of Valve and Powder Coating Operations
On August 31, 1995, effective as of April 30, 1995, the Company
entered into a purchase agreement whereby it sold all of its then wholly owned
subsidiaries with the exception of U.S. Powder Coatings, Inc. to Turkey DeLite
International, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, (d/b/a ATCO Corporation)
("Purchaser" or "Turkey DeLite") for $1,900,000 in cash, promissory notes and
common stock. Turkey DeLite's principal executive officer, Mr. Bob J. Sudderth,
also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions". The subsidiaries referred to
herein include Valves International, Inc., Central Valve Services, Inc., Alloy
Valve International, Inc. and Gulf Coast Powder Coatings, Inc. The sales price
consisted of a combination of 1,550,000 shares of the Purchaser's common stock,
a $200,000 promissory note due and the payment of $150,000 contingent upon the
successful completion of a stock offering by the Purchaser. The assets of U.S.
Powder Coatings, Inc. are still owned by the Company although the subsidiary is
inactive.

Recent Developments - Pending Merger; and Private Placement
On August 21, 1997, the Company announced that it had entered into a
letter of intent to merge with a high performance materials company which
management believes fits the Company's parameters for an acquisition candidate.
On October 30, 1997, the Company worked towards securing the acquisition, as
well as providing future operating revenue for the Company, by completing an
overseas private placement of common stock pursuant to the exemptions afforded
by Regulation S. The offering produced total proceeds of $4,059,000 from
investors in connection with the transaction, whereby a total of 1,353,000
common shares, par value $0.001, were issued for a purchase price of $3.00 per
share. Of the $4,042,960 of the proceeds received from the offering, after
payment of $16,040 in costs of the offering, $ 4,000,000 has been remitted to
the enterprise with which the Company intends to merge in exchange for
promissory notes totaling $4,000,000 originally due December 30, 1997, bearing
interest at an annualized rate of seven percent (7%). This maturity date was
later extended to April 30, 1998 by written agreement. However, the notes
remained unpaid, and the proposed acquisition unconsummated, at June 30, 1998,
and the Company has decided to reserve fully against the entire amount of the
notes as of that date. The Company will not recognize any interest income on
these notes, and will apply any payments received to reduce the principal. The
Company expects significant future growth in revenues and shareholder earnings
as a result of this potential acquisition and the related transactions (see
below).
On March 18, 1998, the Company and Polymer Dynamics, Inc.("Polymer")
entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")
providing for transactions that, if consummated, will result in Polymer being
merged with and into the Company. The Company will survive the merger, and will
continue to be governed by the laws of the state of Nevada, but will be renamed
"Polymer Dynamics, Inc." Completion of the merger is subject to, among other
things, the approval of the Company's and Polymer's stockholders. Under the
Merger Agreement each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock shall
remain unchanged, and each outstanding share of the Company's Preferred Stock
will be converted into a into one-fifteenth (1/15th) of a share of the
surviving corporation's Common Stock. Each outstanding share of Polymer's
Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock will be converted into a single share
of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, of the surviving
corporation. Based on the current number of shares of the Company's and
Polymer's capital stock outstanding, upon completion of the merger, the former
stockholders of Polymer will own approximately 92% of the Common Stock of the
surviving corporation. The Company and Polymer jointly issued a press release
dated March 25, 1998 announcing that their boards of directors approved the
agreement to merge the two corporations.
As of June 30, 1998, the proposed merger had not been consummated.
Item 2. Properties
The Company maintains its corporate headquarters at 382 Route 59,
Section 310, Monsey, New York, 10952. This facility is currently leased by
Remarkable Office Products, Inc., which expires on December 31, 2002 and
provides for an option to renew for two successive five-year periods. Although
there is no formal sublease agreement between the Company and Remarkable, the
Company has agreed to reimburse Remarkable for any use of the space by the
Company as well as for the use of Remarkable's personnel. Said agreement is to
terminate upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement. Any future payments made by the Company to Remarkable for this
obligation will be determined by the fair market value for the use of the space
and personnel as if determined in an arms length transaction.

Item 3 Legal Proceedings
Celestial Ventures Corporation vs. Re-Prod, Inc. et. al., Case No. 96 Civ.
1274, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The Company filed on February 21, 1996 a complaint against Re-Prod,
Inc. and its stockholder Jacob Lahav in United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, White Plains, New York, Case Number 96 civ.
1274, which sought a modification of the purchase price of the assets of
Re-Prod, Inc. The Company contends that certain assets, including accounts
receivable, which the Company purchased from Re-Prod, Inc. did not exist at the
time of the acquisition. As a result the Company suspended payments under a
$250,000 note payable to Re-Prod, Inc. and did not honor other terms of the
acquisition.
On August 29, 1995, the Company purchased, as of July 1, 1995, all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of Success Direct, Inc., a mail order
business products company ("Success"). Mr. Irwin Schneidmill, who owned 41.5%
of Success, became the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on
August 1, 1995. Simultaneously with the acquisition of Success, Success
assigned to the Company its agreement to purchase certain business assets from
Re-Prod, Inc., including the name Remarkable Products, and the Company
consummated the transaction with Re-Prod, Inc. The assets purchased from
Re-Prod, Inc. are related to the direct mail industry.
In connection with the acquisition of the certain assets of Re-Prod,
Inc., Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. John Formicola, a stockholder of the Company, had
personally guaranteed the payment by the Company of a $250,000 promissory note
payable to Re-Prod, Inc., which represents part of the consideration paid by
the Company to acquire the assets of Re-Prod, Inc. This note bears interest at
9% per annum and is to be paid monthly by the Company in varying amounts by
applying the income received from renting its mailing list on a monthly basis.
On November 20, 1995, the Company contends the principal amount remaining under
the note was $210,127.53.
As part of the consideration for the acquisition, Re-Prod, Inc. also
received 750,000 shares of the restricted common stock of the Company. The
Agreement provided that Mr. Schneidmill would personally guarantee 375,000 of
such 750,000 shares payment of any difference between $393,750 ($1.05 per
share) and the fair market value of the shares on January 1, 1996. The value of
the common stock at February 1, 1996 was approximately $78,750. The Company and
Mr. Schneidmill and Formicola personally, have also executed a "Put Option
Agreement", whereby Re-Prod, Inc. can put these 375,000 shares to the Company
as of January 1, 1996 and demand payment of $393,750. Such demand was made on
January 31, 1996. Furthermore, Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. Formicola guaranteed
payment of the difference between $412,500 and the market value of the
remaining 375,000 shares (25,000 shares, adjusted to reflect a 1 for 15 share
reverse stock split, effective May 3, 1996) of the Company's common stock held
by Re-Prod, Inc. on July 1, 1996. The shares having a guaranteed value at July
1, 1996 are subject to an identical Put Option Agreement.
The Company, together with Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. Formicola have
contended that the assets purchased from Re-Prod, Inc. were not as represented
in the purchase agreement, and are seeking a renegotiation of the consideration
paid for those assets, including a renegotiation of their personal guarantees.
The Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. Formicola against
any liability resulting form these guarantees.
On March 14, 1996, Re-Prod, Inc. and Jacob Lahav filed a counter claim
against the Company alleging specific performance on the $250,000 promissory
note, fraud and conversion,
6
<PAGE>
breach of contract and securities fraud and against Mr. Irwin
Schneidmill and John Formicola for the enforcement of certain financial
guarantees as well as for common law fraud, securities fraud and fraud and
conversion. The total dollar amount claimed, approximately $1,050,000,
exclusive of interest equals the amount of the original purchase price of
Re-Prod, Inc. The Company and Mr. Schneidmill vigorously defended these claims
against them and pursued its claims against Re-Prod, Inc. and Mr. Lahav.
On November 12, 1996, parties entered into, and the District Court
approved by order, a Stipulation of Settlement ("Settlement") of all claims and
counter claims. As a condition to entering into the Settlement, prior to its
execution, the Company paid to Re-Prod, Inc. the $6,039.55 balance of an escrow
account to be provided for in the purchase agreement. Under the Settlement, the
Company agreed to pay to Re-Prod, Inc. a balance of the purchase price of
$400,000, of which all has been paid. The Company was required to make
additional payments to Re-Prod, Inc. on September 1, 1997 of $300,000 plus that
amount equal to one half of the excess (if any) of the closing value of
Re-Prod, Inc.'s shares of the Company's common stock (based upon the mean
between the bid/asked price) on September 1, 1997 over $300,000 (payable upon
the tender of Re-Prod, Inc.'s certificates). (As a result of its May 1996 1 for
15 stock split, the Company issued to Re-Prod, Inc., certificates for 50,000
new shares in exchange for its existing certificate for 750,000 pre-split
shares of common stock.) Under the Settlement, the counter claim against Mr.
Formicola was dismissed, and Mr. John L. Patten, a stockholder of the Company,
was named as an additional guarantor. Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. Patten have
unconditionally guaranteed the prompt and full payment and performance of all
of the Company's obligation under the Settlement. Mr. Patten has since agreed
to assume the obligation and hold the Company harmless against the payment
which was due to Re-Prod, Inc. on September 1, 1997 of $300,000 plus that
amount equal to one half of the excess (if any) of the closing value of the
50,000 shares of the Company's common stock as described above. Mr. Patten has
demonstrated to the Company's satisfaction his financial ability to assume such
obligation. In consideration of this as well as other assumptions of various
liabilities of the Company as well as for other services rendered to the
Company, the Company issued 93,316 shares of common stock to Mr. Patten in
June, 1997. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions".
Under the purchase agreement, the Company granted Re-Prod, Inc. a
security interest in certain of the Company's assets. The Settlement provides
that Re-Prod, Inc. will subordinate its security interest to that of any third
party which lends the Company funds to repay its obligations to Re-Prod, Inc.
under the Settlement. Except as provided above, the rights and obligations of
the parties under the purchase agreement remain unchanged until fully
performed. In the event Re-Prod, Inc. alleges that the Company is in default in
making any payment due or performing any obligation required under the
Settlement, Re-Prod, Inc. will have the right (upon ten days written notice) to
apply to the Court for entry of judgment against the Company, and Messers.
Schneidmill and Patten, jointly and severally, for $1,100,000, less any sums
previously paid to Re-Prod, Inc. under the Settlement if Re-Prod, Inc.
certifies to the Court that the Company is in default and has received notice
thereof, and such alleged default has remained uncured for ten days; the Court
can enter judgment against the Company. Mr. Patten has paid the final
installment due to Re-Prod, Inc., in full satisfaction by the Company of its
obligations under the Settlement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, Re-Prod,
Inc.'s counterclaim was dismissed with prejudice and the Company and Messers.
Formicola, Patten and Schneidmill were released from all claims under the
Re-Prod, Inc. counterclaim.
Johnson vs. Central Valve Services, Inc., et. al., No. 96-42066, In the
District Court of Harris County, Texas, 80th Judicial District.
The Plaintiffs' First Amended Original Petition was served upon the
Company (one of many defendants) on April 23, 1997. The Plaintiffs allege that
they were injured as a result of
7
<PAGE>
certain misrepresentations made by Tony Heuermann (a Texas investment
manager unconnected to the Company) which induced the Plaintiffs into investing
monies into the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Central Valve
Services, Inc. ("Central"). The alleged investment includes payment for 25,343
(prior to the 1 for 15 reverse split) shares of the Company common stock as
well as numerous promissory notes issued by Central in which Bob Sudderth
(former President of the Company) also signed on behalf of the Company as
Guarantor. The Plaintiffs claim that these notes are in default and the shares
are trading below the promised value. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs now seek
damages from the Company (as well as Central, Sudderth and Heuermann) to recoup
those monies lost as a result of these alleged false representations and
violations of Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act in the amount of $62,092 plus
interest, costs and punitive damages.
The Company has not yet appeared in the matter. The other parties to
the litigation have agreed to address this matter in non-binding mediation.
Should the parties fail to resolve this matter by such mediation, and the court
schedules a hearing for this matter, the Company intend to defend this action
vigorously.
Although the Company has not yet appeared in the matter, John L.
Patten, a stockholder of the Company, pursuant to an agreement dated August 25,
1997, has agreed to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless for any costs
incurred by the Company or for any potential award or settlement that might
arise in the future. Mr. Patten has demonstrated to the Company's satisfaction
his financial ability to assume such obligation. In consideration of this as
well as other assumptions of various liabilities of the Company as well as for
other services rendered to the Company, the Company issued 93,316 shares of
common stock to Mr. Patten in June, 1997. See "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions".

Ventures Corporation, Custom Coatings, Inc., W. G. Dodson, William V. Reynolds,

of Jefferson County, Alabama.
The Plaintiff brought suit in 1998, concerning a contractual dispute
with a former subsidiary of the Company, and obtained a judgment against all
defendants in the amount of $122,000. The Company is vigorously contesting
responsibility for any portion of the judgment through local counsel, and has
recently reached an agreement in principle with plaintiff to settle any alleged
liabilities for approximately $10,000.

There were approximately 1,663 shareholders of record of the Company's
common stock on June 30, 1998.
The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock. The Company
intends to retain any future earnings to finance its growth.
On October 30, 1997, the Company completed an overseas private
placement of common stock pursuant to the exemptions afforded by Regulation S.
Such private sales were authorized to be made under either Rule 903 of
Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Act. Although the buyers were
introduced to the securities by Pennsylvania Merchant Group, Ltd., no
underwriting discounts or commissions were paid by the Company to any
underwriter. Based upon its review of documentation certified by each buyer,
the Company determined that each of the buyers to date was (i) sophisticated
(based upon net worth and investment experience), (ii) an institutional
investor, and/or (iii) not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S). Of the
total proceeds of the offering of $4,059,000, the Company has received
$4,042,960, from investors, after offering costs of $16,040, in connection with
the transaction, whereby a total of 1,353,000 common shares, par value $0.0001,
were issued for a purchase price of $3.00 per share. Of those amounts received
from the offering, $4,000,000 has been remitted to the enterprise with which
the Company intends to merge in exchange for Convertible Subordinated Notes
(the "Notes") totaling $4,000,000. The Notes provided for a Maturity Date of
December 30, 1997, and bear interest at an annualized rate of seven percent
(7%). This Maturity Date was later extended by written agreement until April
30, 1998. However, the Notes remained unpaid at June 30, 1998, and the Company
has decided to reserve fully against the entire amount of the Notes as of that
date. The Company will not recognize any interest income on these Notes, and
will apply any payments

received to reduce the principal. The Company remains confident that
the merger will be completed.
Item 6. Management's Plan of Operation
The Company's financial condition at June 30, 1998 compared to June
30, 1997 primarily reflects activities undertaken to position the Company for
future growth through a proposed acquisition. The Company's financial condition
at June 30, 1997 compared to June 30, 1996 changed dramatically. These latter
changes occurred as a result of the sale of the Company's Direct Mail
subsidiary in November 1996.
Management believes that the sale of its principal operating
subsidiary has had a positive effect on the Company as it has positioned the
Company to seek out new acquisition candidates as it has done in the past.
During the last two fiscal years, the Company has made an effort to
dispose of all operating subsidiaries as well as to remove all non-de minimis
liabilities from the Company's financials in order to attract a single, large,
profitable or potentially profitable, private company with which to merge. On
August 21, 1997, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of
intent to merge with a high performance materials company which, while not
currently profitable, management believes fits the Company's parameters for an
acquisition candidate. On March 18, 1998, the Company and Polymer Dynamics,
Inc. entered into a definitive Agreement providing for the transaction which,
if consummated, will result in Polymer being merged with and into the Company.
See "Business - Recent Developments"
In order to secure the acquisition as well as provide future operating
revenue for the Company, in October 1997 the Company received approximately
$4,042,960 from investors in an overseas private-placement of 1,353,000 shares
of common stock, at a purchase price of $3.00 per share. Of those amounts
received, $4,000,000 has been remitted to the enterprise with which the Company
intends to merge in exchange for promissory notes totaling $4,000,000
originally due December 30, 1997, bearing interest and an annualized rate of
seven percent (7%). The notes' maturity date was later extended to April 30,
1998 by written agreement; however, the notes remained unpaid at June 30, 1998,
and the Company decided to reserve fully against the entire amount of the notes
as of that date. The Company will not recognize any interest income on these
notes, and will apply any payments received to reduce principal. The proposed
merger remained unconsummated at June 30, 1998. The Company expects significant
growth in revenues and shareholder earnings as a result of this potential
acquisition and the related transactions.
Management has the ability to fund its operations through the
following year.
Effects of Inflation
The impact of inflation on the Company's plan of operation has not
been significant.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On August 29, 1995 the Company purchased, as of July 1, 1995, all of
the issued and outstanding common stock of Success Direct, Inc., a mail order
business products company ("Success"). The principal stockholder of Success,
Mr. Irwin Schneidmill who owned 41.5% of Success, became the President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company on August 1, 1995.
Simultaneously with the acquisition of Success, Success assigned to
the Company its agreement to purchase certain business assets from Re-Prod,
Inc., including the name Remarkable Products, and the Company consummated the
transaction with Re-Prod, Inc. The assets purchased from Re-Prod, Inc. are
related to the direct mail industry.
In connection with the above, the Company paid to Mr. Schneidmill
415,000 shares (27,667, post-split) of the restricted common stock of the
Company. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of
Re-Prod, Inc., Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. John Formicola a stockholder of the
Company, have personally guaranteed the payment by the Company of a $250,000
promissory note payable to Re-Prod, Inc. This note bears interest at 9% per
annum and is to be paid monthly by the Company in varying amounts by applying
the income received from renting its mailing list on a monthly basis. On
November 20, 1995, the Company contends there was $210,127.53 principal amount
remaining under the note.
As part of the acquisition, Re-Prod, Inc., also received 750,000
shares (50,000 shares, post-split) of the restricted common stock of the
Company. 375,000 (25,000, post-split) of such 750,000 were personally
guaranteed by Mr. Schneidmill to have a market value of $393,750 ($1.05 per
share) on January 1, 1996. The value of the common stock at February 1, 1996
was approximately $78,750. The Company and Mr. Schneidmill and Formicola
personally, have also executed a "Put Option Agreement", whereby Re-Prod, Inc.
can put these 375,000 (25,000, post-split) shares to the Company as of January
1, 1996 and demand payment of $393,750. Such demand was made on January 31,
1996. Furthermore, Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. Formicola have guaranteed that the
remaining 375,000 (25,000, post-split) shares of the Company's common stock
held by Re-Prod, Inc. will have a market value of $412,500 on July 1, 1996. The
shares having a guaranteed value at July 1, 1996 are subject to an identical
Put Option Agreement.
The Company, together with Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. Formicola have
contended that the assets purchased from Re-Prod, Inc. were not as represented
in the purchase agreement and are seeking a renegotiation of the consideration
paid for those assets, including a renegotiation of their personal guarantees.
See "Litigation".
The Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Schneidmill and Mr. Formicola
against any liability resulting from these guarantees.
On November 21, 1996, the Company, effective October 1, 1996, sold all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the "Shares") of Remarkable to
Dynamic Products Corp. (the "Dynamic"), for $1,406,250.00. The assets of
Remarkable included equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The
consideration paid to the Company was as follows: (i) repayment of intercompany
balance due to Remarkable as of November 20, 1996 of $106,450.85; (ii) payment
on November 21, 1996, of $43,539.15 in cash; (iii) a promissory note for
$450,000.00 due February 21, 1997, payment of which was extended until March
21, 1997 and subsequently repaid; and (iv) assumption of certain liabilities of
the Registrant totaling $806,250.00. The Company realized a gain of $431,512 on
the sale. The purchase price of Remarkable was determined in the manner of an
arms length transaction. The principles followed by the parties in determining
the consideration were as follows: Shares of Remarkable were valued at book
value, and the repayment of intercompany balance on November 20, 1996, the cash
payment on
15
<PAGE>
November 21, 1996, the note payable due on March 21, 1997, and the
assumption of certain liabilities of the Company were each calculated at cash
value. An officer, director, and stockholder of the Purchaser is also the
President, director and stockholder of the Company. The transaction was
unanimously approved and ratified by the Company's Board of Directors in
accordance with Nevada corporate law. During the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998, the Company has reimbursed Remarkable for certain rental payments and
administrative expenses in the amount of $187,655. See ("Properties").
Pursuant to an agreement dated June 20, 1997, the Company agreed to
transfer to Mr. John L. Patten, a significant shareholder of the Company, its
rights under the remaining past due $300,000 subordinated note receivable from
the Purchaser in exchange for Mr. Patten's assumption of the Company's
obligations for the U.S. Powder Coaters, Inc. note payable of $170,000 to R.M.
Engineering. To date, R.M. Engineering has not released the Company from its
obligation under the note payable; accordingly, the liability remains recorded
at June 30, 1998. See "Notes to Consolidated Financials." The transaction was
unanimously approved and ratified by the Registrant's Board of Directors in
accordance with Nevada corporate law.
In consideration of Mr. Patten having assumed various liabilities of
the Company, indemnifying the Company in certain litigation matters as well as
for other services rendered to the Company, the Company issued 93,316 shares of
common stock to Mr. Patten in June, 1997. See "Litigation."
Performance Capital Corporation which is partially owned by Mr. John
Formicola had lent Success $250,000 prior to its acquisition by the Company in
the form of five promissory notes in the amount of $50,000 each dated December
15, 1994 and January 15, February 15, March 15 and April 15, 1995. Each bearing
interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Performance Capital Corporation had
owned of the outstanding common stock 41.5% of Success at that time. The
Company assumed that debt upon the acquisition of Success and paid to
Performance Capital Corporation 415,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
The terms of that debt are as follows: all interest is to accrue through 1995
and payments on interest are to commence February 1, 1996 and accrued interest
shall be paid in six equal monthly installments. Payments on principal are to
commence February 1, 1997 and shall be paid monthly, together with interest,
for 60 months. Subsequent to the acquisition of Success by the Company, Mr.
Formicola and or Performance Capital have lent the Company an aggregate of
approximately $205,000 for working capital purposes. This $205,000 is subject
to an 11% demand promissory note dated August 1, 1995. As of June 30, 1998, the
Company has no remaining payment obligation to Performance Capital Corporation
or Mr. Formicola.
On August 31, 1995, the Company entered into a purchase agreement
whereby it sold all of its wholly owned subsidiaries with the exception of U.S.
Powder Coatings, Inc. to ATCO Corporation ("Turkey DeLite" or "Purchaser") for
$1,900,000 in cash, promissory notes and common stock. Turkey DeLite's
principal executive officer, Mr. Bob J. Sudderth, is also the Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Company. The subsidiaries referred to herein include
Valves International, Inc., Central Valve Services, Inc., Alloy Valve
International, Inc. and Gulf Coast Powder Coatings, Inc. The sales price
consisted of a combination of 1,550,000 shares of common stock of the
Purchaser, issuance of a $150,000 promissory note and the payment of $200,000
contingent upon the successful completion of a stock offering by the Purchaser.
Mr. Sudderth had sold certain equipment and facilities to Central
Valve Services, Inc., which had been a subsidiary of the Company at the time of
such sale. Mr. Sudderth is owed approximately $600,000 from Central Valve
Services, Inc. as a result of such sale. The Company is not liable for such
debt.
In September, 1995, the Company executed a letter of intent to
purchase all of the issued and outstanding stock of Nexim Corp., a Nevada
Corporation, ("Nexim"), 100% of which is
16
<PAGE>
owned by Mr. Andrew Jaloza who became a director of the Company in
January, 1996. Upon the execution of the letter of intent, the Company paid Mr.
Jaloza $100,000 as a down payment for the purchase of Nexim. Nexim owns a
technology known as Medphone, a medical device product. The Company also
invested, approximately, an additional $62,000 toward development of this
product. Nexim has had no revenues and is not an operating company. In April,
1996, the Company decided not to pursue the acquisition of Nexim. The ultimate
recovery of the invested funds is uncertain. During the year ended June 30,
1996, the Company wrote off its entire investment in this venture, which is
included in general and administrative expenses.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Celestial Ventures Corporation and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Celestial
Ventures Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit), and cash flows
for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Celestial
Ventures Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CELESTIAL VENTURES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES For the Years Ended
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 1998 and 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Celestial Ventures Corporation ("CVC") was organized under the laws of the
State of Nevada on January 28, 1987. CVC purchased a wholly-owned
subsidiary on July 1, 1995, Success Direct, Inc., which is in the business
of Business to Business direct mail marketing in the United States and
Canada. In December, 1995, the corporate name of Success Direct, Inc. was
changed to Remarkable Office Products, Inc. ("Remarkable"). Effective
October 1, 1996, CVC sold Remarkable to Dynamic Products Corp. ("DPC"). As
of June 30, 1997, all of the operating divisions of the Company have been
sold.
Significant accounting policies follow:
a. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of CVC and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). All
subsidiaries are included up until their date of disposition. All
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
b. Income Taxes - Current income taxes are based on the taxable income for
the year, as measured by the current year's tax returns. Deferred income
taxes arise primarily due to various temporary differences between
financial and income tax reporting. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
c. Earnings Per Share - The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting No. 128 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per
share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share include
securities which are convertible into common stock to the extent such
inclusion would be dilutive. The Company has applied this standard
retroactively for all periods presented. Such retroactive application had
no effect on preciously reported earnings per share.
d. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
e. Reclassifications - Various accounts in the prior year financial
statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform
with the presentation in the current year's financial statements. These
reclassifications had no impact on the results of operations.
Continued
F-8
<PAGE>
f. Stock-Based Compensation - In accordance with FAS 123, the Company
records its stock-based compensation at fair value.
g. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Recently issued
accounting pronouncements, which the Company has not yet adopted,
include: SFAS 130 - Reporting Comprehensive Income, effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997; SFAS 131 -
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise, effective for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997; SFAS 132 - Employer's Disclosure
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, effective for
fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1997; and SFAS 133 -
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
effective for periods beginning after June 15, 1999.
The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that adoption
of these standards will have on the Company's financial statements.
2 - Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
recognized for financial reporting and the amounts recognized for income
tax purposes. The significant components of the deferred tax asset are
as follows:
June 30,
-----------------------------
1998 1997
Assets
Net operating loss carryforwards $ 2,200,000 $ 306,000
Less: Valuation allowance 2,200,000 306,000
------------- -----------
$ - -
The net deferred tax asset continues to be fully offset by a valuation
allowance due to uncertainties surrounding the ultimate realization of
those assets. At June 30, 1998, approximately $6,600,000 of net
operating loss carryforwards, which expire in various periods through
2012, are available to offset future taxable income. The valuation
allowance increased by $1,894,000 as compared to June 30, 1997 due to
increased net operating loss carryforwards.
3 - Stock
The Company's preferred stock is convertible into the Company's common
stock at the rate of 15 shares of preferred for each share of common. No
dividends have been declared and there is no dividend requirement. The
holders of the preferred stock are entitled to a preference in the event
of the Company's liquidation.

<PAGE>
4 - Discontinued Operations, Sale of Subsidiary and
Related Party Transactions
On November 21, 1996, (effective October 1, 1996) the Company sold all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of a subsidiary, Remarkable
Office Products ("Remarkable") to DPC, a company under common
management, for $1,406,250. The president and chief executive officer of
the Company is also the president, chief executive officer and principal
stockholder of DPC. In connection with the disposal of this wholly-owned
subsidiary, the Company realized a gain of approximately $731,512,
calculated as the difference between the value received of $1,406,250
and the net assets of $674,738 of Remarkable at October 1, 1996. On June
20, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with John Patten, a
significant stockholder, whereby the Company transferred its rights
under the remaining past due $300,000 note receivable from DPC in
exchange for Mr. Patten's assumption of the Company's obligation for the
USPC note payable of $170,000 to R.M. Engineering discussed below. To
date, R.M. Engineering has not released the Company from its obligation
under the note payable; accordingly, the liability remains recorded at
June 30, 1998. The total gain calculated above has been reduced by this
transfer resulting in a net gain on sale of subsidiary of $431,512.
Since Remarkable was sold within two years of its acquisition, which was
accounted for similar to a pooling of interest, the gain is shown as an
extraordinary item. The prior period financial statements have been
restated to reflect the discontinued operations of Remarkable.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company's aggregate net liabilities relating to
the discontinued operations of USPC amounted to $170,000, which
represents a demand note obligation due to R.M. Engineering relating to
a previous equipment purchase. The note is due on demand and bears
interest at 4%. The obligation to pay this note has been assumed by Mr.
Patten, as previously discussed.
During the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company's results
from discontinued operations, excluding the gain on its disposal of
Remarkable, consisted of the following:
1998
Income $ -
Expenses -
-----------
$ -
1997
Income $ 205,192
Expenses 218,567
-----------
$ (13,375)
-----------
F-10
<PAGE>
In connection with his guarantees of various liabilities of the Company and
other services rendered, the Company issued 93,316 shares of common stock to
Mr. Patten in June, 1997. The related expense of $320,074 is included in
other expense.
The Company leases office space from Remarkable and reimburses it for certain
administrative expenses paid on the Company's behalf. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, the Company paid Remarkable $187,655.
5 - Litigation
The Company is involved in two lawsuits: Johnson vs. Central Valve Services,
et al., relates to shareholders claiming misrepresentations by their
investment manager (unconnected to the Company), and Sirco Systems, L.L.C.
claims that the Company became a guarantor of a debt of Gulf Coast Powder
Coatings, Inc., a former subsidiary of the Company.
In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
6 - Warrants
The following summarizes the Company's activity:

7 - Agreement for Merger
On August 21, 1997, the Company formally announced that it had entered into a
letter of intent to merge with Polymer Dynamics, Inc. ("PDI"), a high
performance materials company. On October 30, 1997, the Company worked toward
securing the merger by completing an overseas private placement of common
stock pursuant to the exemptions afforded by Regulation S. The Company has
received $4,042,960, net of $16,040 of issuance costs, from investors in
connection with the transaction, whereby a total of 1,353,000 common shares,
par value $.001, were issued for a purchase price of $3.00 per share. Of
those amounts received from the offering, $4,000,000 has been remitted to PDI
in exchange for unsecured Convertible Subordinated Notes (the "Notes")
totaling $4,000,000. The Notes bear interest at an annualized rate of 7%, and
originally bore a maturity date of December 30, 1997.
F-11
<PAGE>
On March 18, 1998, the Company and PDI entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for transactions that
will result in PDI being merged with and into the Company. The company
surviving the merger will be a Nevada corporation that will be called
Polymer Dynamics, Inc. ("Polymer"). Completion of the merger is subject
to, among other things, the approval of the Registrant's and Polymer's
stockholders. Under the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of the
Company's common stock shall remain unchanged, and each outstanding
share of the Company's preferred stock will be converted into
one-fifteenth of a share of the surviving corporation's common stock.
Each outstanding share of Polymer's common stock and Series A preferred
stock will be converted into a single share of common stock and Series A
preferred stock, respectively, of the surviving corporation.
Based on the Company's evaluation of the credit worthiness of PDI, the
Company has decided to fully reserve against the Notes. The Company will
not recognize interest income on these notes and will apply any payments
received to reduce the principal. The Company is also contingently
liable for approximately $25,000 in legal fees related to the proposed
merger.
If the merger is consummated, the transactions will be accounted for as
a reverse acquisition whereby PDI will be treated as the acquirer for
accounting purposes in a combination similar to a pooling-of-interests.
The Notes totaling $4,000,000 will be added to the equity section of
Polymer.
The Company is contingently liable for approximately $25,000 in fees
related to the merger.
