                  WHITNEY AMERICAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2000
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
     ---------------------------------------

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
     Whitney American Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned
     subsidiary, Kemron Environmental Services, Inc. ("Kemron") have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  In
     the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
     presentation of such financial statements have been included.  Such
     adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items.  The company acquired
     Kemron during fiscal year 1998 (see NOTE 2) and began presenting results on
     a consolidated basis.  All significant intercompany balances and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Operating results for
     the six months ended November 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
     the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2001 or
     for any other future period.  Additional information is contained in the
     Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2000, which should
     be read in conjunction with this quarterly report.

     Use of Estimates
     ----------------

     Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Those
     estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
     reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could vary from the
     estimates that were assumed in preparing the financial statements.

     Federal Income Taxes
     --------------------

     Federal income tax has been provided for the six months ended November 30,
     2000 based on estimates that include the timing difference attributed to
     the provision for bad debt and difference in depreciation of property and
     equipment for book versus tax methods.

     Property and Equipment
     ----------------------

     Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using
     the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the asset.
     Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed on the term of the lease
     or its useful life, whichever is less.

     Revenue Recognition
     -------------------

     The Company recognizes revenue generally at the time services are
     performed.  On fixed price contracts, revenue is recognized on the basis of
     the estimated percentage of completion of services rendered.  On cost
     reimbursement contracts, revenue is recognized as costs are incurred and
     includes applicable fees earned essentially in the proportion that costs
     incurred bear to total estimated final costs.  Materials and subcontract
     costs reimbursed by client are included in gross revenue.  Anticipated
     losses are recognized in the period in which the losses are reasonably
     determinable.  Substantially all unbilled receivables are expected to be
     collected within the next 12 months and retention balances to be collected
     at the close of the respective project.

     A portion of contracts with the United States Government and State
     Agencies, are subject to audit and adjustment.  Revenue has been recorded
     in amounts expected to be realized on final
<PAGE>

     settlement. Included in accounts receivable are revenues from claims where
     recovery is probable in the opinion of management.

NOTE 2 - MERGER AND SUBSEQUENT UNWINDING AGREEMENT

     On March 10, 1998, Kemron Environmental Services, Inc. ("Kemron") merged
     with and into Whitney American Corporation (the "Company").  Pursuant to
     the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Kemron common stock was
     converted into shares of the outstanding common stock of the Company.  Upon
     consummation of the Merger, the stockholders of Kemron became the owners in
     the aggregate of approximately 86% of the outstanding common stock of the
     Company; and the directors and officers of Kemron became directors and
     officers of the Company.  Prior to the Merger, the Company had no operating
     activities.

     The Merger was structured as a tax-free reorganization and was accounted
     for using the pooling-of-interest method.

     On November 29, 1999, the Company entered into an unwinding and stock
     exchange agreement with Kemron, subject to the approval of the
     shareholders, that called for the shareholders to surrender the Company
     shares acquired in the March 10, 1998 merger agreement.  These shares would
     then be cancelled in exchange for the returned shares of Kemron stock to
     the rescinding shareholders.  Ultimately, the Company and Kemron would
     substantively return to the ownership position that existed prior to the
     original merger agreement. The approval for the unwinding and stock
     exchange agreement was scheduled for vote at a special stockholder meeting
     on January 20, 2000 in order to finalize the agreement.  The stockholder
     vote was postponed indefinitely until an acceptable resolution could be
     reached on the tax implications identified to the former shareholders of
     Kemron.  Subsequent to the November 29, 1999 unwinding agreement, it was
     determined through tax research that the treatment of this stock exchange
     would differ from the original structure of the March 10, 1998 agreement
     which was a tax-free exchange.  A significant tax liability is believed to
     result with the execution of the unwinding agreement such that the
     substance of the agreement would be materially altered.  The agreement
     continues to be evaluated and it is uncertain as to the probability of
     achieving a mutually acceptable agreeement.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF KIBER ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.

On June 29, 2000, The Company entered into a merger agreement ("Agreement") with
Kiber Environmental Services, Inc. ("Kiber"), effective June 1, 2000. The
Agreement provided for a tax-free merger of Kiber with and into Kemron in a
reorganization described in section 368(a) and 368(a)(i)(D) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The shareholders of Kiber receive
a total of 200,810 shares of capital stock of Whitney and $450,000 in exchange
for all of the capital stock of Kiber. The $450,000, paid at closing, consisted
of $300,000 in cash and a promissory note for $150,000, payable in twelve months
and earning interest at ten percent (10%). The promissory note is personally
guaranteed by the CEO. Additionally, the Company's purchase price of Kiber may
be reduced, if certain Kiber receivables are not realized within a 12 month
period following the date of the merger.

The merger was accounted for under the purchase method and the consolidated
financial statements include the earnings of Kiber for the full six months of
the reporting period ending November 30, 2000. The assets and liabilities of
Kiber have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements at their fair
market value.

Based on the fair market value of assets and liabilities of Kiber and the market
value of Kemron's shares issued as of the effective date June 1, 2000, no
goodwill has been reflected on the balance sheet as of November 30, 2000. The
cost of acquisition was equal to that of the fair market value of Kiber's assets
and liabilities.

A provision was established for a specific customer account that is deemed
unlikely to be collected as of the date of acquisition. Under the terms of the
Agreement, any portion of this customer account that is not collected will
become a reduction of the note payable due to the Kiber shareholders at the end
of twelve months. The balance of this account as of November 30, 2000 equals
$80,309 and the entire receivable has been adjusted for as a reduction to the
balance due to related party.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the period June 1,
1999 through November 30, 1999, assumes the acquisition had occurred on June 1,
1999:

          Net Sales                $7,190,261

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of November 30, 2000, the Company's working capital balance increased from
$1,009,113 at May 31, 2000 to $1,200,773. This increase was the result of
profits generated during the six month period. The current liabilities increased
by $527,366 while the current accounts receivables increased by $588,321. The
increase in accounts receivable is due to a high volume of billing activity that
took place during the six months ending November 30, 2000, primarily for
analytical services. The increase of current liabilities is the result of the
additional advances from the line of credit amounting to approximately $517,000
and the income tax liabilities that have resulted from strong operating results
in this past quarter. The current income tax liability increased by
approximately $160,000. The Company had a much lower tax liability as of May 31,
2000 mostly because a net operating loss carryforward was still available to
reduce much of the tax liability for the tax reporting period ended May 31,
2000.

The Company maintains a line of credit of $1.8 million with a bank, secured by
the Company's accounts receivable and the personal guaranty of the majority
shareholder and CEO. The line of credit has provided a significant source of the
Company's cash requirements. The actual balance on the line of credit will
fluctuate during the period based on financing activities. There are no
significant working capital requirements pending at November 30, 2000. The
Company's available line of credit is expected to be sufficient to meet the
Company's needs for the foreseeable future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three month operating results
-----------------------------
Revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2000 were $3,334,077, which
represents an increase of 4.5% from the last year's three month revenues of
$3,190,204. Service revenue returned to estimated levels after a very active
first quarter of the fiscal year.

Gross profit was 30.5% and 25.0% of revenues for the three months ending
November 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company considers gross margin of
30.5% to be within the range for normal operations. Net income before income
taxes increased for the three months ended November 30, 2000 with a 3.3% profit
as compared to 1.8% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement of
gross profit is attributed to the increased sales volume generated by the
laboratory operation. The laboratory experiences significant increases in profit
margins from increased sales due to the ability to better optimize the
utilization of the lab's automated instruments.

General and administrative expense was $342,029 for the three months ended
November 30, 2000, an increase of 18.1% from the three months ended November 30,
1999.  The increase is attributed to the additional marketing staff brought into
the Company at the beginning of the current fiscal year.

Interest expense was $57,734 for the three months ended November 30, 2000, an
increase of 71.2% as compared to the same period for the prior year. The Company
experienced unusually low borrowing requirements during the quarter ended
November 30, 1999 which had stemmed primarily from very positive collection
results on customer accounts. This same level of success on receivable turnover
has not occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2000. However, the client
receivables are still considered in favorable condition as of this reporting
date. Also, interest expense is higher because the majority of capital
expenditures over the past fiscal year were acquired under capital lease
obligations and represent a portion of the increase in interest expense.

Six month operating results
---------------------------
<PAGE>

Revenues for the six months ended November 30, 2000 were $7,402,600, which
represents an increase of 13.8% from the last year's six month revenues of
$6,502,096. The revenue increase is the result of a substantial increase in
analytical services for our Ohio laboratory during the first two quarters, much
of which was attributed to several large projects. The laboratory's revenues
increased by approximately $589,000 for the current year's six months ended as
compared to the prior year. The first half of the fiscal year is typically the
strongest for analytical services, as many clients have a high concentration of
project work from the Spring time through Autumn.

The consulting services reported modest decrease in revenues of $48,000 for the
first six months of fiscal year 2001, when compared to the same period ended
November 30, 1999. The first quarter of this fiscal year reported an increase of
$90,000 while the second quarter revenues reported a $138,000 decrease, more
than offsetting the first quarter improvements. The remediation project activity
slowed slightly during the second quarter.

Gross profit was 34.8% and 29.1% of revenues for the six months ending November
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company considers gross margin of 34.8% to
be within the range for normal operations. Net income before income taxes
increased for the six months ended November 30, 2000 with a 9.6% profit as
compared to 6.5% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement of gross
profit is attributed to the increased sales volume generated by the laboratory
operation as discussed in the three month operating results section above. Much
of the increase in gross margin for the current year's first quarter was the
reason for the increase in net income before taxes.

General and administrative expense was $717,779 for the six months ended
November 30, 2000, an increase of 15.6% from the first six months of the prior
year. The increase is attributed to the additional marketing staff brought into
the Company as well as the recognition of the profit sharing plan that was
implemented during fiscal year 1999.

Interest expense was $118,294 for the six months ended November 30, 2000, an
increase of 81.2% as compared to the same period for prior year. The Company
experienced unusually low borrowing requirements during the first six months of
fiscal year 2000 as discussed in the three month operating results.

YEAR 2000

We successfully completed our program to ensure Year 2000 readiness. As a
result, we had no Year 2000 problems that affected our business, results of
operations or financial condition.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to the
Company that are based on the beliefs of its management as well as assumptions
made by and information currently available to its management. When used in this
report, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", plan
and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, are

incorrect, actual results my vary materially from those described in this report
as anticipated, estimated or expected. The Company's realization of its business
aims will depend in the near future principally on the successful completion of
its acquisition of operations as discussed below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended November 30, 2000, the Company's line of credit
increased by $516,825 to $1,220,673. This was the result of a slowdown in
customer payment, as a result, accounts receivables have increased by
approximately $621,000 during the first six months of the current year. Some of
this increase in receivables can be attributed to the increased sales achieved
during the six month period. The Company
<PAGE>

generated approximately $7,403,000 in billings for the current fiscal year. The
average billings for a six month period during the fiscal year ended May 31,
2000 was only $6,760,000.

Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $291,255 for the six months
ended November 30, 2000. Cash outflows consist primarily of the significant
increases in accounts receivable as described in the section above on financial
condition along with the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses for
the six months.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $439,099 for the current year's first
six months.  The significant cash outflow relates to the acquisition of Kiber
Environmental Services, Inc.
