                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The consolidated financial statements of USTMAN Technologies, Inc. (the
    "Company") included in this Form 10-QSB have been prepared without audit
    (except that the balance sheet information as of June 30, 1999 has been
    derived from consolidated financial statements which were audited) in
    accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission. Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally
    included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, the Company
    believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
    not misleading. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be
    read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
    included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
    ended June 30, 1999.

    In the opinion of management, all adjustments (only consisting of normal
    recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
    operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999 and
    1998 have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods
    presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
    the full year.

    Certain amounts for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to
    the current quarter presentation.

    NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

    On May 22, 1997, the Company, then doing business as Watson General
    Corporation (Watson) completed the private placement of $7 million 10%
    Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2002 and 7,304,520 shares of its common stock
    (the Private Placement) with Sagaponack Partners, L.P., and Sagaponack
    International Partners, L.P. (the "Investors"). In connection with the
    valuation of the common stock issued in the transaction, an original issue
    discount of $1,000,000 was recorded.

    In December 1998, the Investors reached an agreement to convert all of the
    Private Placement and accrued interest totaling $9,717,000 to Series A
    Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"). Warrants previously to be issued to the
    investors for additional interest expense were also canceled upon exchange
    of notes. The Preferred Stock has an aggregate allocation amount (the
    "Allocation Amount") of $15,000,000 for the purposes of liquidation priority
    and dividends. The Preferred Stock will bear an annual 8% dividend, if and
    when, declared by the Board of Directors. The Allocation Amount will
    increase by the amount of any dividends not declared for payment by the
    Company. At December 31, 1999 the allocation amount was $16,800,000. The
    Preferred Stock has no mandatory redemption or voting rights and is not
    convertible into Common Stock.

    EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

    Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share are the same because the
    exercise price on options outstanding exceeded the Company's average price
    during the three and six months ended December 31, 1999.

    DEBT CONVERSION

    Effective in December 1999, Sagaponack converted $750,000 of unsecured debt
    to 2,419,355 shares of common stock at $0.31 per share.

    EQUITY

    During the three and six months ended December 31, 1999, the Company
    incurred $31,000 and $62,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation
    expense.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

    Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this
    report are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe
    harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
    Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties
    which may cause the actual results in future periods to differ materially
    from forecasted results. These risks and uncertainties include, among other
    things, product demand, customers' strategies, and market competition.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED
    TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

    Sales for the 1999 quarter were $1,745,000 compared with $1,651,000 in the
    prior year. Sales increased approximately 6% as a result of an increase in
    the number of customers and related tanks analyzed. Gross profit increased
    as a result of increased sales and lower operating costs. Cost of sales
    decreased 10% compared to the comparable period of the prior year.
    Management believes the cost of sales will increase slightly in the upcoming
    months as a result of adding personnel in order to maintain high levels of
    customer service.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% in the second
    quarter compared to the second quarter of the prior year from $959,000 to
    $989,000. This increase is partially a result of more aggressive marketing
    and advertising during the current year which we expect may lead to
    increased sales and revenues in future quarters.

    In December 1999, USTMAN determined to withdraw its registration statement
    filed in April 1999 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
    registration statement was intended to permit shareholders to acquire
    additional shares of common stock at an anticipated subscription price of
    $0.25 per share. As a result of the withdrawal, $138,000 of costs related to
    the rights offering were written off. Had the rights offering been
    completed, these costs would have been netted against the proceeds of the
    offering.

    In December 1999, Sagaponack exchanged $750,000 of its unsecured debt for
    2,419,335 shares of common stock at $0.31 per share. This non-cash
    transaction resulted in reduced current indebtedness and increased
    shareholders' equity.

    In December 1998, Sagaponack agreed to convert all debt issued to it by
    USTMAN to Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of the conversion, interest
    that had been accruing at 29.76% per year was eliminated. Additionally,
    amortization of deferred debt costs and original issue discount, which were
    included in interest, were eliminated. Interest expense, including deferred
    debt cost and original issue discount amortization, decreased 86% as a
    result of the conversion. This conversion also resulted in a $1,211,000
    write off of deferred debt costs.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO
    THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

    USTMAN reported net income of $116,000 for the six month period ended
    December 31, 1999 compared to a net loss of $2,482,000 for the six month
    period ended December 31, 1998. The improvement in income is due to
    increases in sales, decreases in both operating and general and
    administrative expenses and decreases in interest expense. Additionally,
    during the prior year USTMAN experienced an extraordinary loss related to
    the extinguishment of debt.

    Sales for the period ending December 31, 1999 were $3,455,000 compared with
    $3,174,000 in the prior year. Sales increased approximately 9% as a result
    of an increase in the number of customers and related tanks analyzed. Gross
    profit increased as a result of increased sales and lower operating costs.
    Cost of sales decreased 4% compared to the comparable period of the prior
    year.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4% compared to the
    prior year from $1,874,000 to $1,947,000. This increase is partially a
    result of more aggressive marketing and advertising during the current year
    which we expect may lead to increased sales and revenues in future quarters.

    See the three month results for a discussion of the rights offering costs
    write off and debt conversion.

    Because of prior net operating loss carryforwards, the Company has no taxes
    due.

    YEAR 2000 ASSESSMENT

             The Company assessed Year 2000 compliance matters and determined
    that it had potential for exposure regarding Year 2000 compliance in three
    areas of its internal and external business activities. These areas included
    (1) its own internal hardware and software systems which are utilized to
    process and provide the Company's operations and accounting information, (2)
    the hardware and software systems it has provided to its clients for
    automation of the SIR process and (3) clients' hardware and software systems
    which are utilized to provide data to the Company. The following discusses
    management's assessment of those risks and the steps it is taking to
    minimize them.

    Internal hardware and software

             Over the last three years, the Company had purchased computers,
    servers and other equipment, which are certified by the vendor as being Year
    2000 compliant. Because of this, the telephone system, servers and the
    majority of the Company's workstations were Year 2000 compliant. Those
    computers which were not compliant were replaced before December 31, 1999.

             The Company's software consists primarily of three distinct areas:
    network operating system, commercial software and proprietary software. The
    network operating system had been certified by the vendor to be Year 2000
    compliant subsequent to the completion of certain patches which the Company
    applied. The commercial software the Company runs is very diverse. The




                                       10
<PAGE>   11


    Company identified over thirty types of commercial software that were used
    both internally and externally. The Company did not experience any
    significant problems as a result of any of this software. The Company
    replaced its accounting and information computer software. The system was
    installed and functional before December 31, 1999. The cost of this system
    was approximately $80,000.

    In order to ensure that all software and hardware functioned properly in the
    Year 2000, the Company constructed a separate testing facility. This
    facility was dedicated entirely to Year 2000 testing on live customer data.
    The Company set the internal date at this facility to December 31, 1999 and
    ran analysis for two months to verify that no Year 2000 issues occur as the
    clock approaches, reached and passed the century mark. The testing resulted
    in no significant modifications to the system. In addition, the Company had
    software engineers on site immediately after December 31, 1999. No
    significant unforeseen problems occurred.

    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

    At December 31, 1999 the Company's current assets exceeded its current
    liabilities by $276,000 compared to current liabilities exceeding current
    assets by $606,000 at June 30, 1999. The Company implemented several plans
    to address its financial condition and to increase profitability. This
    included cost reduction efforts and the conversion of the Senior
    Subordinated Notes to equity. The Company formulated plans and strategies to
    continue to address the Company's financial condition and increase
    profitability. This included further cost reduction efforts, raising
    additional capital through the sale of additional stock to Sagaponack, and
    attempting to increase average prices by applying higher rates to new
    customers and increasing rates for existing customers.. Management believes
