     These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
     States for interim financial information. These financial statements are
     condensed and do not include all disclosures required for annual financial
     statements.  The organization and business of the Company, accounting
     policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the
     notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements filed as
     part of the Company's April 30, 1998 Form 10-KSB.

     In the opinion of the Company's management, these financial statements
     reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's
     consolidated financial position at January 31, 1999 and 1998 and the
     consolidated results of operations and the consolidated statement of cash
     flows for the nine months then ended.  The results of operations for the
     nine months ended January 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          ---------------------------------------------------------------
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements included herein which are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United
States for interim financial information.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Revenues for Rich Coast's third quarter are $565,188, up 4.6% from the previous
quarter, but disappointing and unacceptable to Rich Coast management.  The
Company experienced a loss of $681,556 for the quarter, compared to a loss of
$177,159 for the same period in the prior year.  Interviews with customers and
analysis of conditions show that consolidations in the industry have resulted in
larger but lower profit margin contracts between generators and the largest
waste disposal companies in the Detroit, Michigan area.  For the most part waste
generators are manufacturers involved in the automotive industry where the trend
has been and continues to be toward doing business with highly integrated Tier I
companies, i.e., well financed companies that handle both hazardous and non-
hazardous wastes and have both landfills and truck fleets.  Rich Coast's
financing is far too expensive to allow the company to compete in such a low
profit margin business.  This situation has not evolved overnight and Rich
Coast's management has been exploring various technologies that could provide a
higher profit margin as well as some business exclusivity. That technology has
been identified and demonstrated successfully at a slaughterhouse, a paper pulp
company and at a trap grease processing company.  All three demonstrations went
exceedingly well and have resulted in several requests for quotations for
systems incorporating Rich Coast's proprietary process which is a chemical air
sparged system (CASS) that separates liquids and solids to reduce, dramatically,
total fats, oils and greases (FOG); biological oxygen demand (BOD); and chemical
oxygen demand (COD).  Rich Coast will sell, lease or provide and operate
systems.  Funding requirements for manufacturing the cash systems are minimal as
a result of Rich Coast's utilization of manufacturing facilities at a local
company experienced in fabricating similar equipment.

The closing for the sale of the Company's Ford Road facility is scheduled for
March 30, 1999.  Rich Coast will receive $215,000 at closing to pay off its
principal balance of $79,747 due on the property and utilize remaining funds for
consolidation at the Company's Wyoming Avenue terminal. Rich Coast will also
hold a five year land contract for the $235,000 balance due which will produce
monthly payments to Rich Coast of $4,765.  The combination of additional
consolidated savings and revenues from an agreement with Murco, Inc., a
slaughterhouse operation in Plainwell, Michigan, should take Rich Coast to
essentially breakeven.  Thereafter, rapid expansion of CASS system installations
is expected as a result of successful demonstrations, thus generating
profitability early in the fiscal year starting May 1, 1999.

Changes in Financial Condition
- ------------------------------

The Company's net tangible assets have improved to $1,834,301 from $1,634,168
last quarter, mostly as a result of converting $697,000 of promissory notes into
1,040,299 Rich Coast common

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
shares and offset by $681,556 of net loss for the quarter. The Company still
intends to hold a shareholder's meeting, now tentatively scheduled for April 30,
1999, to vote on approval of issuance of preferred shares. Management has been
assured that the holders of $1,500,000 in convertible debentures intend to
convert to preferred stock, thus improving the Company's net tangible assets by
that amount. The Company found it necessary to postpone its meeting previously
scheduled for January 1999.

In February 1999, the Company's shares were de-listed from Nasdaq.  The Company
is appealing the Nasdaq decision to de-list its shares.

Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------

The following cautionary statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 in order for Rich Coast to avail itself of the
"safe harbor" provisions of that Act. Discussions and information in this
document which are not historical facts should be considered forward-looking
statements.  With regard to forward-looking statements, including those
regarding the potential revenues from the commercialization of the CASS
treatment system, the expected installations at slaughterhouses, the expected
increase in revenues, and the business prospects or any other aspect of Rich
Coast, be advised that actual results and business performance may differ
materially from that projected or estimated in such forward-looking statements.
Rich Coast has attempted to identify in this document certain of the factors
that it currently believes may cause actual future experience and results to
differ from its current expectations.  In addition to the risks cited above
specific to the CASS treatment system, differences may be caused by a variety of
factors, including but not limited to, adverse economic conditions, entry of new
and stronger competitors, inadequate capital and the inability to obtain funding
from third parties, the rejection of the Company's insurance claim relating to
the fire, unexpected costs, and failure to capitalize upon access to new
clientele.

ITEM 2.   CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
          -----------------------------------------

(c)  In December 1999 the Company issued an aggregate of 1,087,798 shares for
     accrued interest and conversion of principle on the Company's outstanding
     10% 18-Month Convertible Promissory Notes.  The shares were issued in
     reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the shares were issued
     in connection with the private placement of the 10% Notes relying on the
     same exemption and the investment decision to take shares in lieu of cash
     payments was made at the time the 10% Notes were purchased.
