                   Report of Independent Public Accountants


To the Plan Administrator of the
   Barefoot Grass Lawn Service, Inc.
     Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of  financial  condition of the
BAREFOOT  GRASS  LAWN  SERVICE,  INC.  PROFIT  SHARING  PLAN (the  Plan) as of
December  31, 1995 and 1994,  and the related  statements  of income and other
changes  in plan  equity  for  each of the  three  years in the  period  ended
December 31, 1995. These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and  perform  the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall  financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial condition of the Plan as of December 31,
1995 and 1994,  and the  results  of its  operations  and the  changes in plan
equity for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1995,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994




(1)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     General

     The Barefoot Grass Lawn Service, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is a
     defined  contribution  plan covering all full-time  employees of Barefoot
     Grass Lawn Service,  Inc. (the  Company).  The Company is a  wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Barefoot Inc. The Plan was established effective January 1,
     1985,  amended effective January 1, 1989, and restated  effective January
     1, 1993 to incorporate changes regarding eligibility,  vesting,  employer
     match,  investment options and designation of the Plan trustee.  The Plan
     is subject to the provisions of the Employee  Retirement  Income Security
     Act of 1974 (ERISA).

     The  Trustee  of the Plan is Bank  One  Ohio  Trust  Company,  N.A.  (the
     Trustee).  The Plan's investments are held in several distinct investment
     funds, one of which consists  exclusively of the common stock of Barefoot
     Inc. The  participants  may direct their accounts among these funds.  The
     Plan  Administrator  is the President of the Company and/or his designee.
     The Trustee  holds all of the Plan assets and  executes all of the Plan's
     transactions.  All administrative  expenses are paid by the Company.  The
     Trustee engaged an outside third party,  First Data  Corporation,  during
     1995 to perform record keeping and asset custodial  services.  Subsequent
     to year-end BISYS Fund Services, Inc. began performing these services for
     the Trustee.

     The  Plan  was  restated  as of  January  1,  1993  and  has  received  a
     determination  letter from the  Internal  Revenue  Service  (IRS),  dated
     December 14, 1995, stating that the restated Plan is exempt from taxation
     under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has not
     been amended since the determination  letter and management  believes the
     Plan to be operating in accordance with the IRC requirements.

     Contributions

     The Plan provides for  participants to defer between one percent (1%) and
     ten percent (10%) of their annual  compensation via salary deferral.  The
     amount of a participant's  contributions for any plan year may not exceed
     certain limits which are set forth in the Plan. The Company  provides for
     an employer match of 25% in the year 1993, and 35% in

                                     -10-
<PAGE>


     the years 1994 and 1995 of  participant  deferrals up to a limit of 6% of
     the participants'  annual  compensation.  The employer match was $55,635,
     $100,906 and $111,352 in the years 1993, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

     The Plan also provides for  discretionary  contributions  by the Company.
     Contributions  for the years 1993, 1994 and 1995 were $200,000,  $225,000
     and $0, respectively.

     Eligibility and Vesting

     As amended  effective January 1, 1989,  employees  reaching the age of 21
     become eligible as participants in the Plan on the January 1 or July 1 of
     the Plan year  following  completion of one year of service.  One year of
     service is at least  one-thousand  (1,000)  hours worked or credited in a
     consecutive twelve -month period.

     Participants are immediately vested in their salary deferrals plus actual
     earnings  thereon.   Vesting  in  Company  discretionary   contributions,
     matching  contributions  and  earnings  thereon,  occurs after 5 years of
     service.

     As of December 31, 1995,  there were 865 employees  participating  in the
     Plan.

     Allocation of Discretionary Contributions, Investment Gains and Losses,
     and Forfeitures

     Discretionary contributions to the Plan from the Company are allocated to
     participants' accounts at the end of each Plan year based on the ratio of
     each  participant's  compensation  to the total  compensation  of all the
     participants for the Plan year.

     Investment gains and losses are posted to participants' accounts based on
     the daily valuation of each fund's investments.

     Forfeitures of terminated  participants'  nonvested  account balances are
     allocated to the remaining participants' accounts at the end of each Plan
     year based on the ratio of each  participant's  compensation to the total
     compensation  of all the  participants  for the  Plan  year.  There  were
     approximately  $54,000,   $67,000  and  $0  forfeitures   reallocated  to
     participants  during  1993,  1994  and  1995,  respectively.  There  were
     approximately  $0 and $31,000 of  forfeitures  unallocated as of December
     31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

     Benefit Payments

     Upon retirement or termination of employment,  a participant may elect to
     receive  the  amount in  his/her  vested  account  balance  in a lump-sum
     payment or in  installments  with payments to begin no later than April 1
     following  the Plan year in which the  participant  attains 70.5 years of
     age.  Terminated  participants  with vested account balances in excess of
     $3,500 are not required to withdraw  their  account  balances  until such
     time as they choose or until required by law.

                                     -11-

     Participant Loans

     Participant  loans are permitted  under the Plan subject to certain rules
     established  by law. All loan  applications  must be approved by the Plan
     Administrator.   Participants  may  borrow  from  their  investment  fund
     accounts  a minimum  of $1,000  up to a  maximum  of 50% of their  vested
     account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) an
     investment  fund from (to) the  participant  loan  fund.  Loan terms vary
     based on individual  circumstances.  The loans bear interest at a rate of
     prime 1%.  Principal and interest is paid ratably through regular payroll
     deductions.

     Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  generally
     accepted accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities
     and  disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions
     during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ from those
     estimates.


(2)  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Investments are valued at fair market value, as measured by quoted market
     prices in an active market.  The financial  statements are prepared using
     the accrual basis of accounting.

     Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of assets is based on market value
     at year-end  and the market  value at the  beginning  of the Plan year or
     cost at the time of purchase  during the year. Net gain (loss) on sale of
     assets is based on sale proceeds and the market value at the beginning of
     the Plan year or cost at the time of  purchase  during  the year.  Market
     values do not vary significantly from original cost values.


(3)  PLAN INVESTMENTS

     Participants  may direct  the  investment  of their  funds to one of five
     individually  selected  investment  options or they may choose from among
     six fully managed portfolio options.

     a. Individually Selected Portfolio

          i.   Barefoot  Inc.  Stock  Fund - This fund  invests  solely in the
               common  stock of  Barefoot  Inc.  which is  publicly-traded  on
               NASDAQ/NMS.

          ii.  Fidelity Advisor Growth Opportunities Fund (Growth Fund) - This
               fund invests primarily in companies with  above-average  growth

          iii. Composite  Stock  Fund - This fund seeks  capital  appreciation
               with  the  secondary  goal  of  achieving   current  income  by
               investing  primarily in equity  securities.  It was replaced in
               fiscal 1995 with the Growth Fund.

          iv.  One Group Income Bond Fund (Income Fund) - This fund invests in
               high and medium  grade  fixed  income  securities  and seeks to
               generate   current   income   without   unexpected    valuation
               fluctuations.

          v.   One Group Prime Money  Market Fund (Money  Market  Fund) - This
               fund  invests  in  short-term  cash  instruments  and  seeks to
               generate steady current income while  maintaining the principal
               value.

     b. Fully Managed Portfolio

        Banc  One  Investment   Advisors   Corporation   manages   participant
        portfolios  for those  participants  who  elect  one of six  lifestyle
        choices. These six lifestyle choices are:

           Growth & Income
           Balanced
           Conservative Growth
           Fixed Income

        Based upon the lifestyle choices made,  participant funds are invested
        in a mix of One Group equity funds, fixed income funds or money market
        funds designed to achieve the desired investment return and risk.

     Several  employees  terminated  employment at the Company during 1994 and

     subsequent  to  year-end.  The total  equity in the Plan,  to be paid out
     subsequent to year-end,  amounted to approximately  $210,000 and $190,000
     in 1994 and 1995,  respectively.  In accordance  with generally  accepted
     accounting principles,  these amounts are not reflected as a liability in

     Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
