PART 1
Item 1. Description of Business
-----------------------
OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS
Net/Tech International, Inc. is a Delaware Corporation, is the
developer of the patented Hygiene Guard Hand Wash Reminder and Monitoring
technology which prompt and verifies employee hand washing in any environment
where hygiene is a priority.
Net/Tech International was founded in 1990. Prior to April 1996, the
Company was focused on commercializing its patented technology for water
dispersible products. The Company developed a prototype of the water dispersible
product, which was successfully tested by the US Military. At that time the
product could not be produced cost effectively enough to be competitive with
styrofoam. The Company retains ownership to its water dispersible patents and
may determine to investigate the potential to commercialize this technology.
During fiscal 1996 the Company made a determination to focus on its
patented Hygiene Guard Hand Wash Reminder and Monitoring technology. The Company
strategy was to capitalize on the growing demand for health and food safety
products as a result of serious food borne illness outbreaks which have
substantially increased in frequency in the United States and abroad.
Between 1996 and until October 1998 the Company raised funds and
focused its efforts in order to accomplish the following: 1) Completion of the
design and development of the Hygiene Guard Hand Wash Reminder and Monitoring
System Series 4000/5000 2) Field testing and manufacturing of the Hygiene Guard
product line 3) Introduction of the product line to the food service and medical
industries 4) Hired executives to develop a complete food safety catalog in
order to position the Company as a food safety solution provider.
Net/Tech's initial product development focus was to produce a Hygiene
Guard product capable of identifying employees who did not wash after using the
restroom facilities and to create a reporting system for overall employee hand
washing. As a result of this design criteria the Company designed a Hygiene
Guard Series 4000 product, which required a hard wire installation and a Windows
95' computer in order to run the system.
The Company received tremendous media exposure (including CNN
Worldwide) and was successful in its initial marketing efforts, receiving test
purchase orders from many well-known fast food chains including KFC, Big Boys,
WhatABurger, Arbys, Chilis and other well known companies.
After extensive testing and evaluation, the Hygiene Guard product line
was deemed to have important benefits and be of substantial value to endusers
hand washing activity. However, endusers noted the following drawbacks, which
made them reluctant to commit to substantial purchases. 1) Necessity of a costly
hard wire installation. 2) Cost of the system (approximately $2500 per store).
3) Complexity of operating a computer in order to run the system. As a result of
these drawbacks these companies were unwilling to place substantial purchase
orders. All the fast food chains involved however, did indicate a significant
interest in a simple Hygiene Guard type system that would remind the employees
to wash and make sure they get to the sink. In addition, specific endusers
indicated a strong interest in monitoring hand washes upon entry into the
kitchen.
As a result of the Company's inability to achieve substantial
commitments from endusers the Company was unable to secure the necessary
financing to execute its business plan to become a complete food safety
solutions provider. Additionally, the Company was forced to abandon its plans
for completing a health and food safety catalog and for development of
distribution channels for its existing systems.
In October 1998 the Company made a decision to focus its efforts on 1)
developing a less expensive, less sophisticated version of the Hygiene Guard
product line. 2) Establish a strategic partnership or agreement with an
international food safety related company in order to market the Company's hand
washing systems throughout the world. The Company determined it was necessary to
pursue a strategic alliance in order to effectively market its systems since the
Company did not have the resources to manufacture cost effectively or create its
own distribution channels.

GOJO INDUSTRIES AGREEMENT
In July 1998 the Company initiated discussions with industry leading
international hygiene related companies in an effort to establish a strategic
relationship to market the next generation of the Hygiene Guard product line.
After a market analysis and multiple negotiations the Company has
chosen to enter into a worldwide exclusive agreement with GOJO Industries, Inc.
GOJO, developer of the Purrell hand sanitizer, is an industry leading provider
of soap and hand hygiene products to the worldwide food service and medical
markets. GOJO is a privately held company located in their state of the art
500,000 square feet facility near Akron, Ohio. GOJO employs over 800 people and
is an industry leader in food service, institutional and health care markets.
GOJO products are sold in 46 countries worldwide.
Under the March 15, 1999 agreement, Net/Tech has agreed to sell its
entire hand washing technology patent estate and product development to date to
GOJO in return for 10% of GOJO US net sales of the patented hand wash reminder
and monitoring equipment for a period of 10 years and 5% of sales for 2 years
and 2 1/2% for 3 years. Also Net/Tech will receive 7% on foreign net sales of
the patented equipment for a period of 10 years. The agreement also states
GOJO's intention to fund product development, patent prosecution, protection and
worldwide marketing. In addition, GOJO will make a substantial down payment and
monthly payments to Net/Tech for a total of 20 months totaling $290,000.
The Company believes this Agreement with GOJO is the best alternative
available to successfully commercialize the Hygiene Guard Hand Wash Reminder &
Monitoring technology worldwide.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information included in this discussion contains forward looking
statements that are based on current expectations and beliefs and involve
numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward
looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net/Tech International Inc. is a development stage company, which is in
the process of commercializing its patented hand wash reminder and monitoring
technology. The Company's primary products are its patented Hygiene Guard
series, which prompts and monitors employee hand washing in any environment
where hygiene is a priority. In the current year, the management team has made a
concerted effort to utilize its financial resources to develop and promote the
Hygiene Guard products. The Company made significant expenditures for research,
development and related engineering costs during fiscal 1998 as compared to
fiscal 1997. In 1997 this reflected the Company's contract with the supplier of
its printed circuit assembly components. These expenditures were paid for
working engineering model systems with a personal computer based system
controller capable of remote access, field testing of the model systems,
productions of beta test and field testing units. The Company also incurred
engineering costs with the company assembling the Hygiene Guard to develop the
Badge to be worn by employees, the Soap and Employee Monitoring Units, the
system interface, and the tooling charges to manufacture these products. In 1998
these costs continued and additional funds were expended to initiate development
of a less expensive and less sophisticated series of hand washing system
technology. These costs totaled $419,013 in fiscal 1998.
6
<PAGE>
The research and development expense consisted of $391,939 in 1997.
After marketing the original Hygiene Guard product line and obtaining limited
sales and market acceptance the Company made a determination to develop a new
generation of product line and seek a strategic partner to perfect and market
its systems.
The Company abandoned the original Series 4000/5000 version as to
complex and expensive for the marketplace and have initiated development of a
less expensive less complicated product line. During the year, after the
abandonment of marketing of the original Hygiene Guard, the Company abandoned
the inventory and prototype of the original Hygiene Guard systems.
The Company has entered into a contract with GOJO Industries. The key
terms of the contract are as follows:
1. Net/Tech to sell the entire Hygiene Guard patent estate to GOJO
Industries.
2. GOJO to control product development, patent protection and marketing
costs. Net/Tech to receive $290,000 over 20 months and 10% US net sales
of the patented equipment for 10 years, 5% for 2 years and 2 1/2% for 3
years. In addition, Net/Tech will receive 7% of foreign net sales of
the patented equipment for 10 years. No minimum sales guarantees are
required by GOJO.
Since they are in the business of supplying soap and hand hygiene
products to the worldwide foodservice and healthcare markets, they can market
the Hygiene Guard as an additional product for existing customers. Net/Tech does
not have to provide any capital for buying and assembly of units nor selling
expenses thereon. As previously noted Net/Tech is to receive a $50,000 deposit
plus a minimum of $12,000 per month for 20 months. In addition, Net/Tech will
receive net sales percentages of the patented equipment, previously noted. Their
main source of income will be these payments and fees generated by the sale of
units by GOJO.
In connection the Company has written off in 1998 all inventory and
prototype that is not useable. These amounted to $251,288 and $119,795
respectively. They are currently developing a new version of product, which will
be sold to GOJO along with the patent estate.
In fiscal 1997, the Company incurred costs for printing promotional
brochures, travel to tradeshows and memberships in numerous food processing and
food sanitation associations, and costs related to establishing strategic
alliances or licensing agreements with selected distributors in an effort to
position the Company as a health and food safety solutions provider. In 1998 the
Company raised a total of $1,407,905 by sale of its stock, conversion of some of
the options and payment of creditors and employees in stock. The Company
continued research and development for a newer model of the Hygiene Guard and
abandoned efforts to market the original Hygiene Guard Series 4000 as well as
its plans to become a complete health and food safety solutions provider. As a
consequence the Company wrote of $371,083 in inventory parts and in abandonment
of the prototype.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company sustained a loss of $2,071,877 and has had no revenue other
than from the sale of $41,000 of Hygiene Guard Series 4000 product. In order for
the Company to attract capital it issued 2,099,997 shares at 15(cent) per share
during the year in a private offering, as well as 535,430 shares at prices from
$1.25 to $2.00 during the year and from conversions of options and payment
creditors in stock. The Company's working capital as of November 30, 1998 was
approximately $33,548 with its assets consisting mostly of cash.
RISK FACTORS
The Company's business, results of operations and financial condition
are subject to the following risk factors:
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY: SIGNIFICANT AND CONTINUING LOSSES. Although the
Company was formed in 1990, as far as the development, manufacture and sale of
the Hygiene Guard product series is concerned, it has limited operational
history upon which investors may base an evaluation of its performance or any
assumption as to the likelihood that the Company will be profitable. The
Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses delays,
problems and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new
business and the
7
<PAGE>
development and commercialization of new products based on innovative
technology. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate
significant revenues or achieve profitability.
Although the Company is now dependent upon GOJO as its main source of revenue.
There are no assurances as to the level of GOJO's Hygiene Guard product sales or
its success in marketing.
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS. The Company's development of the Hygiene Guard has
changed direction to develop a less sophisticated, less expensive product line.
It is continuing to seek means as to refining and improving its product. The
Company's effort remains subject to risk inherent with new product development
including delays incorporating technologies into the products. The Company's
contract with GOJO in effect transfers these undertaking to GOJO.
MARKET ACCEPTANCE. The original line of Hygiene Guard did not achieve market
acceptance and as a result the Company is developing a less sophisticated, less
expensive product line in order to fill the needs of the marketplace. Demand and
market acceptance for new products is subject to a high level of uncertainty.
DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT AND GOJO CONTRACT. The Company is dependent on the
expertise and experience of Glenn Cohen, Chief Executive Officer operations. The
loss of any of the Company's key management personnel could seriously inhibit
the Company's operations. Presently, the Company main source of revenue will be
from payment from GOJO Industries including a payment as a percentage of net
sales of the patented hand washing equipment. No guarantee can be made, as to
the levels of sales which can be achieved by GOJO.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING. As of the fiscal year the Company shows a working
capital of $33,548. The Company is dependent upon the initial and net sales
payments from GOJO as well as obtaining additional financing. The Company may
not have enough cash to pay-off its current payables and operate. There is no
assurance that additional financing will be available. The Company has no
established borrowing arrangements or available line of credit.

NET TECH INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1998
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on January 10, 1990. The Company is the
developer of the patented Hygiene Guard Hand Wash Reminder and Monitoring
technology which prompt and verifies employee hand washing in any environment
where hygiene is a priority. See Note 2 and Note 2a.
In 1993, the Company formed Multi-Monitoring Systems, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation. As of November 30, 1995, no shares have been issued and the company
has no financial activity, therefore, it is not consolidated with Net/Tech. In
October 1995, the Company acquired Pressure Point Technologies (see Note 3). The
financial statements include the accounts for this subsidiary from the date of
acquisition.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and equivalents consist of highly liquid interest bearing investments with
a maturity date at acquisition of three months or less.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company examines its accounts receivable for their collectibility. As of
November 30, 1998, the Company believes that all accounts receivable are fully
collectible.
INVENTORY
The inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market in the year 1997. For the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1998 the inventory was written down to zero and
abandoned.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:
Property and Equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold
Improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective life of the lease
or the useful life of the improvements.
The capitalized prototype costs and related accumulated depreciation were
written off in 1998.
Upon the sale or retirement of depreciable assets, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation will be removed and the resulting profit or loss will
be reflected in income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged
against income as incurred.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Machinery and Equipment 5 - 10 years
Furniture and Fixtures 5 - 7 years
INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Costs incurred in connection with filing patent and trademark applications are
capitalized. Patents and trademarks granted are amortized on a straight line
basis over a lifetime of 10 and 3 years, respectively.
Abandoned patents are expensed in the year of abandonment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1998
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In fiscal 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"). Long lived assets and identifiable
intangibles to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of the
long-lived asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to
result from uses of the assets and their eventual disposition. The adoption of
SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or
financial position of the Company. During the year ended November 30, 1998, the
Company continued its policy of accounting for impairment of long lived assets
resulting in the write off of the prototype.
ORGANIZATION COSTS
Organization costs were capitalized and are being amortized over a five year
period.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research, development and related engineering costs are expensed as incurred.
LOSS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
The loss per common share for the fiscal years 1998 and 1997 was computed by
dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during such periods. Common stock equivalents were not included in
the computation of weighted average shares outstanding because their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share", which replaces current Earnings Per Share (EPS) reporting
for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires a
dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's per share data.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
EMPLOYEES STOCK PLANS
The Company accounts for its stock options in accordance with the provisions of
the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." In accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," the Company continues to apply the provisions of APB
No. 25 for purposes of determining net income and has adopted the pro forma
disclosure requirement of SFAS No. 123 effective December 1, 1996. (See Note 8).

NOVEMBER 30, 1998
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a complete set of general
purpose financial statements; and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes annual and interim
reporting standards for a Company's business segments and related disclosures
about it's products, services, geographic areas and major customers. Both SFAS
No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. The Company believes that the adoption of the new standards will not
have a material effect on the financial statements.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for
hedging activities. The statement requires companies to recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities, with the instruments measured at
fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value, gains or losses, depends
on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation. The
statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. Adoption of this standard will not impact the financial results
of the Company.
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 132
Employers Disclosures About Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits, which
revises employers' disclosures about pension and other post retirement benefit
plans, requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and
fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial analysis, and
eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer deemed useful. The statement
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company
believes that the adoptions of this standard will not have a material effect on
the financial results of the Company.
NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND BUSINESS RISKS
The Company had sales of $36,000 in the current year ended November 30, 1998.
The Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,871,382 as of November 30, 1998.
The accumulated deficit was $3,799,505 on November 30, 1997. Such losses have
resulted principally from research and development expenditures and engineering
costs, as well as the expansion of the company's staff including sales,
marketing and technical support. After the introduction of the product in 1998
the company decided to abandon the original model and engineer a smaller less
complex model. As a result the company wrote off its inventory and prototype.
The Company also decided to cut its sales, marketing and technical support
payroll at the end of fiscal 1998.
During the year the company raised capital by the issuance of 2,635,427 shares
of common stock for $1,237,605. Substantially all the shares were subject to
Rule 144 of the Securities Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2A) MATERIAL SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In March 1999, the Company sold its patent estate and product development. Under
the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive 10% percent of net U.S.
sales of the patented hand wash reminder and monitoring technology for a period
of 10 years. The Company will also receive 5% of net U.S. sales for the next two
years, 2 1/2% of net U.S. sales for the following three years and 7% of all
foreign net sales for a period of ten years. In addition, the Company will
receive a down payment of $50,000 and minimum guaranteed payments of $12,000 per
month for a period of twenty months. The purchaser will also fund product
development, patent prosecution protection and worldwide marketing.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1998
Prior to the signing of this contract, the Company could not meet its present
working capital obligations. The Company has been extremely slow in paying its
accounts payable. Certain vendors have contacted the Company and made demand for
payment. The Company believes that the signing of this contract will put it in a
position to meet its present and future working capital obligations. However,
even though there are minimum guaranteed payments to the Company, there is still
a risk factor to be assumed by investors. While the contract provides for
initial payments totaling $290,000 additional revenue is contingent upon GOJO's
sales of the patented equipment.
NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS
In November 1997, the Company acquired Hospitality Marketing and Purchasing
Corp., (HMP) for 100,000 authorized but unissued shares of common stock in
exchange for 100% of the stock of HMP. HMP is a Florida Corporation formed by
Ron Heagle. HMP assets consisted principally of a planned Health and Food safety
reference guide and catalog and the industry acumen of Mr. Heagle. Accordingly,
the shares issued to HMP were accounted for as an incentive signing bonus for
the personnel services of Mr. Heagle and were charged to the statement of
operations in the amount of $125,000. The shares were not issued until December
1997, the resulting expense and liability have been accrued as of November 30,
1997. The shares were valued at the value ascribed to other Rule 144 stock
issued in the period of the acquisitions. On October 15, 1998, Mr. Heagle's
employment was terminated by the Board of Directors.
In October 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock in Pressure Point
Technologies, Inc., in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method.
The Company issued 25,000 shares of authorized but unissued stock in
consideration for the stock acquired. Pressure Point Technologies was
incorporated in Michigan in 1996, and the assets of the company consist
primarily of the technology for a battery less remote control for which a patent
was granted on March 31, 1998.
NOTE 4 - CONVERSION OF DEBT
Beginning in April 1994, the Company borrowed capital for operations from
CRYO-CELL International, Inc. The amounts borrowed were in the form of
convertible notes due on demand at an interest rate of 10% per annum. The notes
were convertible into the common stock of Net Tech International, Inc. at
CRYO-CELL'S discretion. All of the Company's patent rights were assigned to
CRYO-CELL as collateral for the notes.
On November 1, 1995, both boards of directors of the respective companies
resolved to convert the notes into shares of restricted common stock valued by
the Company at $1. The Company issued 517,211 shares which satisfied $52,386 in
accrued interest and the remaining $464,825 principal amount due.
NOTE 5 - PATENTS
Patents have been granted on the Hygiene Guard, TM, and on the water dispensable
technology. The patent applications and rights were assigned by the co-inventors
to the Company. The assignments included rights to all related developments,
modifications and improvements. In consideration of the assignments each of the
co-inventors received 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at
$1,000, which approximates costs incurred by the co-inventors. The patent rights
were capitalized and recorded as an asset.
A patent has also been granted on a battery less remote technology and was
valued at $25,000 which is the value of the shares given. (See Note 3 )
