SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains cash balances at a bank which, at various times during the
year, exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of management's estimates.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, FASB issued Statement No. 121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF
LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF" ("Statement").
The Statement established accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived
assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets
to be held and used, and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be disposed of. The Statement requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Measurement of an impairment
loss for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles that an entity expects
to hold and use should be based on the fair value of the asset. The Company has
not determined the effect, if any, that this Statement will have on its
financial position or results of operations.
In October 1995, FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION," ("Statement") which provides an alternative method of accounting
for stock-based compensation arrangements, based on fair value of the stock-
based compensation utilizing various assumptions regarding the underlying
attributes of the options and the Company's stock, rather than the existing
method of accounting for stock-based compensation which is provided in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO
EMPLOYEES" (APB No. 25). FASB encourages entities to adopt the fair value-based
method but does not require adoption of this method. The Company anticipates
that it will continue its current accounting policy; however, if adopted, SFAS
No. 123 is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position or
its results of operations.
Both of the above standards would be effective for the Company's fiscal year
beginning November 1, 1996.

NOTE 2. OTHER ASSETS
In connection with the acquisition of Rage, certain other assets were purchased
and valued as follows:
FAVORABLE LEASE TERMS
A lease agreement was entered into as of the date of the closing with the
previous sole stockholder of Rage for the office, manufacturing and warehouse
facilities. The Company determined that payments under this lease were $175,000
less in the aggregate than those for similar terms for similar space in the
area. This amount was capitalized and amortized over five years, the term of the
lease. The lease agreement expired December 31, 1993.
COVENANT NOT-TO-COMPETE
A covenant not-to-compete was entered into with the previous shareholder of
Rage. This amount, valued at $200,000, was capitalized and amortized on a
straight-line basis over five years, the term of the agreement. The agreement
expired December 31, 1993.
GOODWILL
The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets of Rage
acquired was $105,446. This amount is being amortized over 20 years.
NOTE 3. NOTE PAYABLE
Effective May 28, 1993, Danzer entered into a loan and security agreement (the
"Agreement") with Fremont Financial Corporation comprised of a revolving credit
facility (the "Facility") and an equipment term loan (the "Term Loan"). The
amount available under the Facility is based on a defined percentage of eligible
accounts receivable and inventory. The Company had drawn $1,274,000 at April
30, 1996 which represented 90% of the amount available under the Agreement at
that date. The maximum amounts available under the Facility and the term loan
are $1,150,000 and $350,000, respectively. Borrowings under the Agreement accrue
interest at prime plus 4.5% (13.25% at April 30, 1996). The Agreement was
amended most recently on June 23, 1995, extending the term of the Agreement to
January 31, 1997. An extension to January 31, 1998 has been offered by Fremont.
Management has not accepted this offer.

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996
NOTE 3. NOTE PAYABLE (CONTINUED
Under the terms of the Agreement, borrowings are collateralized by real estate
and Danzer's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Borrowings are also
guaranteed personally by the former President of the Company, limited to a
defined amount. The Agreement provides for certain restrictions including, but
not limited to, that the Company shall not without prior consent of the lender:
a) sell, lease, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any assets except in
the ordinary course of business; b) enter into any merger, consolidation, or
acquisition of any other business organization; c)guaranty or otherwise become
in any way liable with respect to the obligations of any third party; or d)
change its owner ship by greater than 10%. The Agreement also restricts:
payment of compensation and loans and advances to executives, officers,
directors and certain others; capital expenditures to a specified level; and
distributions to Danzer's Parent. For the period ended April 30, 1996 and the
year ended October 31, 1995, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Fremont consented to the sale of Rage occurring June 10, 1996.
NOTE 4. LONG-TERM DEBT
On April 25, 1991, the Company issued to Renaissance Capital Partners, Ltd.
("Renaissance") an unsecured 12 1/2% convertible debenture (the "1991
Debenture"), convertible into common stock, with a face value of $1,250,000.
On December 30, 1992, Global entered into a second unsecured 12 1/2% convertible
debenture (the "1992 Debenture") with Renaissance for $350,000.
Effective December 31, 1994, Renaissance exchanged the $1,600,000 aggregate
amount of 1991 and 1992 debentures for an aggregate of 16,000 shares of the
Company's Series B Cumulative Convertible Senior Preferred Stock. In addition,
Renaissance agreed to exchange the accrued but unpaid interest on the Debentures
through September 30, 1994, totaling $211,635 for a 10% Term Note (the "Term
Note") originally due December 31, 1997. (Notes 6 and 7).
As a result of the conversion of the Renaissance Debentures effective December
31, 1994, the Company no longer has an obligation to meet the minimum financial
standards and ratios under the terms of the Debentures. In addition, the 10%
Term Note contains no covenant default provisions and a default occurs only for
failure to pay principal or interest when due.
As of October 31, 1995 and April 30, 1996, the Company had not paid interest in
the approximate amount of $16,500 on the Term Note due to Renaissance and is
therefore in default of the Term Note Agreement. As of October 31, 1995 and
April 30, 1996, the lender had waived its right to demand payment of the
principal amount of the Term Note of $211,635 until December 31, 1997. The
lender has not waived the payment of any past due or future quarterly interest
payments.
In connection with the conversion, the Company wrote-off approximately $87,000
of related deferred financing costs in December 1994.

NOTE 7. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS, OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS
The Company has experienced difficulty executing a portion of its backlog due to
its shortage of working capital. The Company was required to supply a
performance bond for approximately $167,000 related to the completion of a
certain contract which occurred in the second quarter of its fiscal year ending
October 31, 1994. The requirement is for a term of 24 months which expired
March 1, 1996. The Company satisfied the requirements of the performance bond
by executing a letter of credit, which letter of credit is collateralized by a
certificate of deposit (restricted cash) of $167,894.
In addition, the Company's Danzer subsidiary is limited by Fremont Financial
Corporation to making distributions of no more than 75% of its net cash flow (as
defined) to the Company's parent. providing that Danzer maintains a minimum net
worth, which net worth was not maintained at October 31, 1995 and April 30,
1996.
The backlog at the Company's Danzer subsidiary has been growing. However, the
backlog at the Company's Rage subsidiary as of April 30, 1996 has decreased from
its average level over the last few years which has. adversely affect the
Company's results of operations in fiscal 1996. Effective June 10, 1996 Rage
Inc. was sold to William V. Rice.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company acquired the rights,
through a royalty agreement, to manufacture and sell a product line consisting
of utility truck bodies (Morrison) which is similar to a product currently
manufactured by the Company. The Company has begun production of the line and
has in place a sales force and distributor network to market the product. A
portion of the sales of this product, generally approximating 5%, will be paid
as a royalty to the seller of this product line to the Company. The Company
anticipates increased Morrison sales in fiscal 1996, which should increase
coverage of the Company's fixed manufacturing overhead

NOTE 7. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS, OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS (CONTINUED)
During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company entered into a joint
venture agreement (the "Agreement") with Cadema Corporation ("Cadema"). The
joint venture has been capitalized by Cadema with $350,000 in cash and by Global
with $1,000 in cash. The joint venture's principal objective is to provide the
partners with current income by contracting for the design and installation of
air pollution control equipment in its name in all areas of the world outside
the United States and its territories. The term of the Agreement expires
December 31, 1998, unless otherwise extended. Income or loss from the joint
venture will be allocated 51% to Cadema and 49% to the Company. The Agreement
allows Global, subject to certain conditions, to acquire Cadema's interest in
the joint venture for 875,000 shares of Global common stock or $350,000 in cash
or an amount equal to Cadema's capital account, whichever is greater, subject to
certain antidilution provisions. The Agreement also allows for quarterly
distributions of income and capital to the joint venture partners. The Company
had borrowed approximately $364,000 from the joint venture as of October 31,
1995 and April 30, 1996.
In September 1994, the Company completed a 10% Cumulative Convertible Senior
Preferred Stock offering whereby 7,550 shares were issued. The Company realized
$662,150 of net proceeds, after placement fees and expenses of approximately
$93,000. The funds were used to expand the Company's new Morrison product line
and provide working capital for overall business activity.
Effective December 31, 1994, Renaissance exchanged the $1,600,000 aggregate
amount of 1991 and 1992 convertible debentures for an aggregate of 16,000 shares
of the Company's Series B Cumulative Convertible Senior Preferred Stock (Notes 4
and 6).
As of October 31, 1995 and April 30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with
the loan covenants with Fremont Financial Corporation and had received waivers
of such noncompliance from the lender concerning the year ended October 31,
1994. In addition, the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement with Fremont
were modified in 1995 and extend payment of principal until January 1997.
As of October 31, 1995 and April 30, 1996, the Company was in default under the
Term Note due to Renaissance. The lender has waived its right to demand payment
of the principal amount of the Term Note of $211,635 until December 31, 1997.
The lender has not waived any interest payments.
In addition, the terms of the mortgage debt of $354,866 on the Company's
premises (which debt was in default as a result of nonpayment by the Company on
its original due date of April 1, 1995) were modified in January 1996 and the
maturity date extended until April 30, 1997. Such mortgage was assumed by Rage
under the sale agreement closing June 10, 1996.
In early February 1996, the Company's revolving loan payable to Fremont
Financial Corporation was increased by $200,000. The increase enables the
Company to borrow $200,000 in excess of their allowed borrowings under the
revolving loan agreement (Notes 4 ) and provides additional working capital for
overall business activity.

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996
NOTE 7. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS, OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS (CONTINUED)
In light of the Company's backlog at April 30, 1996, its projected cash flow
from operations and the market for capital equipment, it is anticipated that the
Company will be dependent on increased sales, higher profit margins and/or
further infusions of capital in order to sustain its operations. The Company
recognizes that the proceeds received from various equity offerings may not be
sufficient to fund its current backlog and provide sufficient working capital
for fiscal 1996. The Company's ability to meet certain interest and principal
payments, as well as its working capital needs to execute its backlog and
generate sales volume during fiscal 1996, will be dependent upon the success of
the Company's efforts to increase sales volume, as well as the profitability of
new business. If it becomes likely that the Company is unable to meet its
scheduled interest and principal payments on its debt securities, the Company
may need to examine the restructuring of these instruments or the sale of
certain assets to satisfy all or a portion of these outstanding liabilities.
If such efforts to increase the level of business and profitability and/or
obtain an infusion of capital are unsuccessful, the Company may need to consider
additional steps to reduce costs, generate working capital and improve operating
efficiencies to sustain its operations. Such steps may involve the sale of
certain assets, the consolidation of operating activities, the sale or
discontinuance of a line of business, reductions in staff or other measures, the
effect of which is the reduction of expenses, conservation of cash, and/or
generation of working capital. The Company is also currently attempting to
limit cash outlays, aggressively collect accounts receivable and channel all
available resources into its sales function in order to continue all operations
on the basis that it can further increase its backlog and sales revenue. The
Company believes that the long-term prospects for the industries in which the
Company operates are positive and therefore, offer Global opportunity for
revenue growth.
NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On May 7, 1990, the Company's stockholders approved a stock option plan to issue
both "qualified" and "non-qualified" stock options. Under the Plan, 800,000
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock may be issued at the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The option price per share will
be determined by the Company's Board of Directors, but in no case will the price
be less than 85% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Options under the Plan will have a term of not more than ten years with
accelerated termination upon the occurrence of certain events. As of October 31,
1995 there were 375,000 options outstanding. Exercise prices ranged from $.30 to
$.48 per share with 200,000 options, 150,000 options and 25,000 options
exercisable at $.30, $.35, and $.48 per share, respectively. No options have
been exercised as of October 31, 1995 or April 30, 1996. During the year ended
October 31, 1995, 350,000 options were granted and 280,000 options were
terminated. In connection with a legal settlement during 1994, the Company
issued 30,770 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and warrants
to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock through February 9, 1997 at $1.00 per
share, subject to adjustment as defined. Lori Beer was granted 600,000 options
at April 9, 1996. Under this option agreement 200,000 options become available
immediately, with 200,00 options becoming available on the April 9, 1997 and
1998.

NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
In connection with a consulting agreement effective November 2, 1994, the
Company issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock through
November 1, 1999 at $.50 per share, subject to adjustment as defined.
During 1994, Global Environmental Corp. completed a private placement offering
by selling 7,550 shares of its 10,500 authorized shares of 10% Cumulative
Convertible Senior Preferred Stock (the "10% Senior Preferred Stock") at a
stated value of $100 per share. The Company raised $662,150, net of placement
fees of $92,850 as a result of the offering. Commencing September 30, 1994,
dividends are cumulative, payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of $10
per share. Total dividends declared during 1994 were $75,500, of which $28,794
were unpaid as of October 31, 1995. The 10% Senior Preferred Stock is voting and
convertible into the Company's Common Stock, $.0001 par value, at $.50 per share
subject to anti-dilution adjustment and is equivalent to approximately 1,510,000
common shares at October 31, 1995. The Senior Preferred Stock is subject to
redemption, at a price of $100 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends, at
the option of the Company provided certain conditions are met. Effective April
30, 1995, the Company registered the shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Senior Preferred Stock under the Securities Act of 1933.
Effective December 31, 1994, Renaissance exchanged the $1,600,000 aggregate
amount of 1991 and 1992 Debentures (the "Debentures") (Note 5) for an aggregate
of 16,000 shares of the Company's Series B Cumulative Convertible Senior
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock"), par value $.001 per share, stated value
$100 per share. The Company raised $1,511,319 net of legal and other costs of
$88,681 incurred in connection with the offering. Commencing December 31, 1994,
dividends are cumulative, payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of $10
per share. Total dividends declared during 1995 of $133,333 were payable as of
October 31, 1995. The Series B Stock is voting and convertible into common stock
at $.50 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustment, and is equivalent to
approximately 3,200,000 common shares, $.0001 par value, at December 31, 1994.
The Series B stock is subject to redemption at a price of $100 per share plus
accrued but unpaid dividends at the option of the Company, provided certain
conditions are met.
The 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Stock require
the Company to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants including,
but not limited to, the timely filing of financial statements. In addition, it
limits the Company's ability to issue new indebtedness, issue other classes of
preferred stock, pay dividends on the Company's common stock, purchase equity
securities, increase executive compensation, enter into liens and acquire new
businesses, among other items. The Company is also subject to registration
requirements under certain circumstances. As of October 31, 1995 and April 30,
1996, the Company did not pay certain preferred dividends and as such the
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock become entitled to vote as a separate
class on certain significant matters.

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
Global is made up of two wholly-owned subsidiaries. Danzer Industries, Inc.
(Danzer) is principally engaged in the design, manufacture and installation of
fabricated metal products. Rage, Inc. ("Rage") is engaged in the business of
engineering, and supplying pneumatic material handling systems in the capital
goods market. Effective April 30, 1996 Rage Inc. was sold to William V. Rice.
Assets, liabilities and operational results relating to the sale have been
presented as discontinued operations. The sale of Rage Inc. closed on June
10,1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Global's sales revenues, from continuing operations, in the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 were $2,142,063 compared to $1,997,576 for the same period last
year, an increase of 7%. Six month revenue for the current period was
$3,699,664 compared to $3,596,176 of last year, an increase of 2.9%. This is
due to increased activity in both the truck body and air movement lines.
Backlogs are steady and this trend is expected to continuing into the third
quarter.
The Company's gross profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was
18.1% compared to 16.8% for the same period last year, an increase of 7.7%. Six
month gross profit margin for the current period was 13.6% compared to 11.7% of
last year, an increase 16.2%. The increase in gross margin is related to the
increase in revenue, absorption of fixed manufacturing overhead and increase in
labor efficiency. Raw material cost was stable for the current six month
period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $57,259 for the second
quarter and $149,346 for the six month period over the same periods last year.
The increase in staffing and promotional expense was planned in expectation of
expanding Danzer's markets and revenue with additional attention to marketing
and sales. The Company's ratio of selling , general and administrative costs
expressed as a percentage of net sales was 12.3% for the second quarter and
14.6% for the six month period compared to 10.3% and 10.9% of the same periods
last year. The Company continues to monitor its costs in an effort to improve
this ratio.
Interest expense during the second quarter and six months of fiscal 1996
decreased by $23,636 and $59,880 respectively over the same periods last year.
The decrease was due to the conversion of Renaissance debentures to preferred
stock.
Loss from discontinued operations reflect the operating loss of Rage which was
$158,038 for the second quarter and $259,510 for the six months of fiscal 1996.
The operating loss was caused by a significant decrease in revenue, reflecting a
soft capital goods market. The sale price approximated book value and a
material capital gain or loss on the transaction is not expected. The sale of
Rage closed on June 10, 1996 and additional losses are not expected.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents during the six months of fiscal 1996 decreased by
$140,552 compared to the decrease of $56,645 for the same period last year. The
current period net loss of $426,015 was the most significant source of the
decrease. Discontinued operations represented $256,510 of the net loss.
The Company has a working capital deficit of $749,487 at April 30, 1996 from a
surplus of $421,901 at October 31, 1995. The Company reclassified loans to
Fremont Financial Corporation totaling $1,274,000 from long-term to current due
to the maturity date of January 31, 1997. Fremont has offered an extension to
January 31, 1998. Management has not accepted this offer and negotiations are
continuing. The Company's current cash position has led to tighter credit terms
with some of its vendors.
17
<PAGE>
GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
It is anticipated that additional working capital may be required in order to
efficiently execute the Company's work in progress and backlog. The Company's
weakened financial condition has, in turn, led to tighter credit terms with
certain vendors and has therefore further strained the Company's working
capital.
In light of the Company's backlog at April 30, 1996 and its projected cash flow
from operations it is anticipated that the Company will be dependent on
increased sales, higher profit margins and/or further infusions of capital in
order to sustain its operations. The Company's ability to meet certain interest
and principal payments, as well as its working capital needs to execute its
backlog and generate sales volume during fiscal 1996, will be dependent upon the
success of the Company's efforts to increase sales volume, as well as the
profitability of new business. If it becomes likely that the Company is unable
to meet its scheduled interest and principal payments on its debt securities,
the Company may need to examine the restructuring of these instruments or the
sale of certain assets to satisfy all or a portion of these outstanding
liabilities.
If such efforts to increase the level of business and profitability and/or
obtain an infusion of capital are unsuccessful, the Company may need to consider
additional steps to reduce costs, generate working capital and improve operating
efficiencies to sustain its operations. Such steps may involve the sale of
certain assets, the consolidation of operating activities, the sale or

effect of which is the reduction of expenses, conservation of cash, and/or

limit cash outlays, aggressively collect accounts receivable and channel all
available resources into its sales function in order to continue all operations
on the basis that it can further increase its backlog and sales revenue. The
Company believes that the long-term prospects for the industries in which the

these securities represent 100% of Rice's ownership interest in
Global. Immediately after the Closing, Global shall be the lawful and
beneficial owner of 517,000 shares of Global, free and clear of any
and all security interests, liens, encumbrances, claims, pledges,
rights, charges, escrows, options, rights of first refusal, contracts,

arise from acts or omissions of Global. The execution, delivery, and
performance of this Agreement and the other instruments and agreements

the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby and thereby do
not and will not, with or without the giving of notice and/or the
passage of time, violate or conflict with or result in a breach or
termination of any provision of, or constitute a default under, any
order, judgment, decree, stature, regulation, contract, agreement, or
any other restriction of any kind or description to which Rice is a
party or by which Rice may be bound. Rice acknowledges that he was
the founder of Global and its predecessor companies and is fully aware
of the financial conditions of both Global and Rage, and that until

Board of Directors. Rice acknowledges that Global makes no
representations or warranties as to the present or future financial

the sale provided for in this Agreement is exempt from registration
under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4.2 thereof. The Shares

Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Act. The
Shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they first have
been registered under the Act and all applicable state securities
laws, or unless exemptions from such registration provisions are
available with respect to said resale or transfer. Global's reliance
on such exemption is predicated in part on Rice's representation that
he is an "Accredited Investor". The term "Accredited Investor" as used
herein shall be defined pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the
SEC.
