                           EVTC,INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)



Note 1. Nature Of Business And Significant Accounting Policies

     EVTC, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the name
"Environmental  Technologies  Corporation" under the laws of Delaware.  In 1997,
the Company  changed its corporate  name to "EVTC,  Inc." but continues to trade
and do  business as  "Environmental  Technologies  Corporation."  The Company is
engaged  in the  marketing  and  sale of  refrigerants,  refrigerant  reclaiming
services and recycling of fluorescent light ballasts and lamps. The Company also
manufactured and distributed  refrigerant recycling and recovery equipment prior
to the discontinuation of such operations in July 1998.

     The consolidated  financial  statements include the financial statements of
EVTC,  Inc.  and its wholly owned  subsidiaries.  All  significant  intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The  financial  information  furnished  herein  has  not  been  audited  by
independent accountants;  however in the opinion of management,  all adjustments
(consisting  solely  of  normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  for a  fair
presentation of the financial position,  results of operations and cash flows of
the Company for the three month period ended  December 31, 1998 and December 31,
1997,  respectively,   have  been  made.  The  results  of  operations  for  the
three-month period ended December 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.


Note 2. Income Per Share

     Net income  (loss) per share in the first  quarter of fiscal years 1998 and
1999 is computed on the basis of the weighted  average  number of common  shares
outstanding  in the period  (4,989,719).  The  effect of  dilutive  options  and
warrants is immaterial.

Note 3. Income Taxes

     Income  taxes are  accounted  for using  the  asset and  liability  method.
Deferred  tax  assets  and   liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax
consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of
existing  assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit  carryforwards.  Deferred  tax assets  and  liabilities  are
measured 


<PAGE>

using  enacted tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the
years in which those  temporary  differences  are  expected to be  recovered  or
settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

     Based upon fiscal  1998  losses,  management  recorded  an  approximate  $3
million  valuation  allowance for deferred tax assets at September 30, 1998. The
first quarter 1999 operating loss increased the valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets to an  approximate  $3.3 million.  In addition to the $3.3 million in
deferred  tax  assets,   the  Company  has  fiscal  1998  net   operating   loss
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $800,000 which are available to
offset future  federal  taxable  income if any,  through  2013.  Due to the 100%
valuation  allowance placed on these assets, they are reflected at zero value on
the  Company's  September  30, 1998 and December 31, 1998  Consolidated  Balance
Sheets.

Note 4.  Discontinued Operations

     During  July  1998,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  adopted a plan to
discontinue its Recycling and Recovery Equipment  business segment.  The Company
has  initiated  a  liquidation  program  to  sell  all  assets  of the  segment.
Management  intends for the  disposal of the segment to be completed by June 30,
1999  (the  Phase-Out  Period).   The  Company  has  recasted  the  accompanying
consolidated  statements of  operations to present the operating  results of the
Recycling and Recovery  Equipment  business segment as discontinued  operations.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets segregate assets and liabilities of
the discontinued segment.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
        Condition and Results of Operations


Results of Operations

         The Company's fiscal year-end is September 30.

         The following  discussion of results of operations for the  three-month
period  ended  December  31,  1998 and  should be read in  conjunction  with the
unaudited  condensed  financial  statements,  including notes thereto,  included
elsewhere in this Report.

Three  months  ended  December  31, 1998 as compared to the three  months  ended
December 31, 1997

         Revenues  for the  three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1998 were
approximately  $4.5  million,  as compared to  revenues  of  approximately  $6.1
million for the  three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1997,  a decrease of
approximately  $1.6  million,  or  26%.  The  decrease  in  sales  is  primarily
attributed to a continued  decline in the amount of R-12 sold during the period.
The  decline  in R-12  sales  during  this  period  is a  result  of most  large
automotive  customers  delaying  their  purchasing  until the  spring and summer
months.  The  delay in the  buying of R-12 is a result  of more  stable  pricing
throughout the year and the continued decline in demand for R-12.

         Offsetting   the  decline  in  R-12  sales  during  the  quarter  is  a
significant  sales backlog of  approximately  $1.5 million at December 31, 1998.
During the period ended December 31, 1998,  the Company  initiated an aggressive
preseason  sales  program to lock in large  customers  prior to the start of the
refrigerant  season.  The Company  anticipates  that its entire sales backlog at
December  31, 1998 will be shipped and  recognized  as revenue in the second and
third  quarters of fiscal 1999.  Gross margin for the  three-month  period ended
December 31, 1998 represented 28% of revenue compared to 24% for the three-month
period ended December 31, 1997, which also off set the decline in revenue during
the three month period ended December 31, 1998.

     Sales of refrigerant R-12 continue to provide a significant  portion of the
Company's revenues,  although its relative percentage is declining.  The decline
in R-12 sales is primarily  attributed to the significant increase in the demand
for R-134a, the replacement for R-12, and the Company's  increasing  emphasis on
refrigerant  reclaiming and commercial  refrigerant sales. The Company's ability
to maintain its current level of R-12 sales for the  foreseeable  future will be
dependent,  to a large  extent,  upon the  availability  of adequate  sources of
supply.  The Company is not dependent on any one source of  refrigerant  for its
supply of R-12 or R-134a  refrigerant  and  historically  has  purchased  from a
number of manufacturers and suppliers.  The Company's refrigerant



<PAGE>

reclaiming and separation activities will continue to serve as an important
source of R-12, as well as other CFC refrigerants.

     The costs of sales for the three month period ended  December 31, 1998 were
approximately  $3.3  million,  as compared to $4.6  million for the  three-month
period ended  December 31, 1997, a decrease of  approximately  $1.3 million,  or
28%. This decrease is the result of decreased  refrigerant  sales activity and a
change in product mix for the period.

     Selling,  general,  and administrative  expenses for the three-month period
ended  December 31, 1998  increased  $66,775 from the  three-month  period ended
December  31,  1997.The  increase is  primarily  attributable  to the  Company's
increased  presence in  industry  trade  shows and the  management  fees paid to
Colmen  Capital  Advisors,  Inc.  The  Company's  management  initiated  a  cost
reduction program late in the first quarter,  resulting in approximately $60,000
in reduced salaries. Management anticipates the cost reduction program to have a
significant impact in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Due to losses in fiscal 1998,  the Company did not record a tax benefit for
the operating loss for the three month period ended December 31, 1998(See Note 3
- - Income taxes in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company's
management  anticipates  tax  benefits to be recorded in future  quarters as net
income is recognized.

         The Company's  operating results vary from period to period as a result
of weather  conditions and the  availability  and price of refrigerant  products
(virgin and reclaimable).  The Company's business has historically been seasonal
in nature  with peak  sales of  refrigerants  occurring  in the second and third
fiscal  quarters.  Accordingly,  the first and  fourth  fiscal  quarters  of the
Company's  operations have been characterized by inventory build-up and seasonal
operating  losses  resulting in periodic  operating  cash flow short falls.  The
Company's  results of operations for the  three-month  period ended December 31,
1998  may not  necessarily  be  indicative  of the  Company's  future  operating
results.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Company  had  working  capital of  approximately  $3.6  million at
December 31, 1998, as compared to working capital of approximately  $4.1 million
at September 30, 1998.  The Company relies on its bank debt as a source of funds
for  operations.  The Company has  financed  its  working  capital  requirements
through  operating cash flow and a $13.5 million working capital  revolving line
of credit obtained from a bank (the "Credit Facility).


<PAGE>

At December 31, 1998, the line of credit advance balance was  approximately
$12 million.

     Borrowings  outstanding  under the Credit  Facility  bear  interest  at the
bank's  prime  rate.  The  Credit  Facility  is  secured  by  eligible  accounts
receivable,  eligible inventory and property and equipment. At December 31, 1998
the balance  outstanding under the Credit Facility exceeded eligible security by
$897,987.  As a result,  the Company is not  currently  able to draw  additional
funds under the Credit Facility.  The Company has received a non-binding  verbal
agreement from the bank to extend the due date for 120 days to allow the Company
to obtain long term permanent financing from another financial institution.  The
Company is negotiating  with a number of other banks and financial  institutions
to  refinance  the  existing  bank note  payable and provide the Company  with a
long-term credit  facility.  Based on negotiations to date and its operating and
financial forecast for 1999,  Company  management  believes they will be able to
obtain  replacement  financing within the 120-day extension period.  The Company
believes that current cash on hand and cash provided by operations is sufficient
to fund the Company's working  requirements  until permanent long term financing
is secured.  Should the Company not succeed in refinancing the Credit  Facility,
the  bank  has the  option  to  demand  payment.  The  Company  may not have the
financial  resources  available  to meet such a  demand.  The  inability  of the
Company to refinance  its existing  indebtedness  could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

     Net cash used by operating  activities  for the  three-month  periods ended
December 31,1998 and 1997 was $27,440 and $852,058 respectively.  Net cash used
in  investing  activities  was $6,191 and  $71,058 for the  three-month  periods
ending December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Net cash provided by financing
activities was $0 and $20,280 for the  three-month  periods ending  December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

     The Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of $4,477,564 and $4,511,195 at
December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, respectively.

     As of the date of this report,  other than as set forth in this Report, the
Company  has no material  commitments  for capital  expenditures,  including  in
connection  with research and  development,  acquisition of plant and equipment,
additional employees or increases to inventory.



Year 2000

     The Company  continues to assess the potential  issues and costs associated
with the year 2000 and believes that its cost to


<PAGE>

address such issues would not be material.  The Company has  implemented  a
plan to review year 2000  compliance of all accounting  and operations  systems.
The Company is in the process of reviewing year 2000 compliance  issues with its
vendors,  suppliers,  and customers.  At the present time, the Company  believes
that costs or  consequences  of an incomplete or untimely  resolution  would not
result in the occurrence of a material event or uncertainty reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
        Risk

     The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from the adverse
changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are interest
rates on the Company's debt and short-term  investment  portfolios.  The Company
centrally  manages its debt and  investment  portfolios  considering  investment
opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing strategies.  The
Company's  investment  portfolios  consist of cash  equivalents  and  short-term
marketable  securities;  accordingly,  the carrying amounts  approximate  market
value. The Company's  investments are not material to the financial  position or
performance of the Company.

     Assuming the current variable rate debt and investment  levels, a one-point
change in interest  rates would  impact net  interest  expense by  approximately
$120,000.
