                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Gas Jack, Inc.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Gas Jack, Inc. (the
"Company") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Nature of Business - Gas Jack, Inc. (the "Company"), an Oklahoma
     Corporation, is engaged in the manufacturing of the Gas Jack Compressor
     that provides economical well head compression to mature, low pressure
     natural gas wells. The compressors currently are sold and leased to natural
     gas producers primarily in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and New
     Mexico.

     Basis of Presentation - 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in
     banks and all short-term investments with initial maturities of three
     months or less.

     Inventories - Raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods are
     stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.

     Property and Equipment - Property and equipment consist of compressors
     currently being leased and available for lease. Property and equipment are
     recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
     based on the following estimated useful lives:

                         Gas Jack Compressors   7 years

                         Vehicles               5 years

                         Other Equipment        7 years

     Revenue Recognition - Sales revenue is recorded upon shipment of sold
     compressors. Revenues from lease and service agreements are recorded as
     earned over the lives of the respective contracts.

     Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes arise primarily from temporary
     differences due to depreciation and from utilization of tax credits.

2.   INVENTORIES

     Inventories consist of the following at December 31, 1998 and 1997:

                                                      1998                1997

3.   NOTES PAYABLE

     The Company has a $600,000 revolving line of credit with a bank which
     expires June 30, 1999. Interest is to be paid monthly on outstanding
     balances at the bank's reference rate (7.25% at December 31, 1998).
     Collateral for the line of credit includes the Company's lease contracts,
     inventory, leased Gas Jack Compressors, accounts receivable, equipment and
     general intangibles. As of December 31, 1998, $475,000 had been drawn on
     the line.

     In March 1992, the Company completed a private placement for $250,000 in
     debentures to certain stockholders. The Company repaid the debentures in
     full on March 31, 1997.

4.   INCOME TAXES

     The components of income taxes are set forth as follows:

                                                     1998                 1997

     Current                                       $143,399             $146,624
     Deferred                                        68,851              107,404
                                                   --------             --------
     Income taxes                                  $212,250             $254,028
                                                   ========             ========

     The actual provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by
     applying the Federal tax rates due principally to expenses which are not
     tax deductible and the effect of state taxes.

     Deferred taxes relating to temporary differences are primarily the result
     of tax depreciation being greater than book depreciation on equipment and
     leased units.

     The components of the net deferred taxes are as follows:

5.   STOCK OWNERSHIP AND INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS

     During 1992, the Company implemented a Stock Ownership Plan (the "Ownership
     Plan") to reward employees for their service to the Company. Under the
     Ownership Plan, 80,000 shares of $0.10 par value common stock were awarded
     to the employees on July 1, 1992 by the Board of Directors, with


                                      F-6
<PAGE>

     a four-year vesting period. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, 80,000 shares
     were vested under the Ownership Plan. According to the Ownership Plan, all
     shares vested are callable or putable within one year after the employee's
     termination, based on the book value per share, as determined by the
     quarter ended immediately preceding the exercise of the call or put.
     Compensation expense amounts relating to the Ownership Plan were expensed
     as of December 31, 1996.

     The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan") and has
     reserved 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock $.10 par value for
     issuance under the Option Plan. The Option Plan limits participation to
     employees, and the option exercise price is established by the Board of
     Directors at a price not less than 100% of the fair value of the stock on
     the date of grant for employees who own less than 10% of the total combined
     voting power of all classes of stock of the Company. The option exercise
     price for options granted to employees who own more than 10% of the total
     combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company is established
     by the Board of Directors at a price not less than 110% of the fair value
     of the stock on the date of grant, and such granted options expire five
     years from the date of grant. The maximum aggregate fair value of common
     stock for which any employee may be granted options which are exercisable
     for the first time in any one calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
     Options granted under the Option Plan are exercisable at such times as the
     Board of Directors shall determine, and the option period shall not be for
     more than ten years from the date of grant. No options shall be granted
     after the date which is ten years from the effective date of the Option
     Plan.

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for
     Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for
     its stock ownership and option plans, as permitted by Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
     Compensation. SFAS No. 123 requires disclosure of pro forma net income as
     if the Company had adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123. There
     were no options nor shares granted under the Ownership Plan or Option Plan
     for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

6.   RELATED PARTIES

     Included in other current assets are advances made to employees for travel
     and entertainment costs. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, employee advances
     totaled approximately $11,000 and $11,500, respectively. The Company sold
     and leased certain units to another company affiliated through common
     ownership and management. The sales and lease revenue from this affiliate
     for 1998 and 1997 was approximately $97,000 and $89,000, respectively. The
     accounts receivable at December 31, 1998 and 1997, from this affiliate were
     approximately $10,300 and $7,300, respectively.

     The Company obtained group insurance for all employees through this
     affiliate during 1997 which amounted to approximately $51,000. Group
     insurance was obtained from a third party during 1998.

     The Company retained a firm in August 1997 to seek a suitable purchaser for
     the Company. A retainer of $20,000 was paid by the Company and set up as a
     note receivable from stockholders to be repaid from proceeds realized upon
     the ultimate sale of the Company. Interest on the note accrues at 9.0%. The
     Company also has a promissory note of $28,000 from an officer and
     stockholder of the Company, payable in full on July 1, 2001. The interest
     rate of that note is also 9.0% and the note is secured by 40,000 shares of
     the Company's stock. Due to the related party nature of these transactions,
     the Company has classified the notes receivable within the stockholders'
     equity section of the financial statements rather than as a separate asset.

  Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
(the "Pro Forma Financial Statements) are based on adjustments to historical
consolidated financial statements of Emerging Alpha Corporation ("Alpha") to
give effect to the acquisitions described in Note 3 (the "Acquired Companies").
The pro forma statements of income assume all acquisitions described in Note 3
were consummated as of the beginning of the periods presented.

The historical financial statements of Alpha for the year ended March 31, 1999
and of Gas Jack for the year ended December 31, 1998 were used in preparing the
pro forma statements of income for the year ended March 31, 1999. The historical
financial statements of Alpha for the six months ended September 30, 1999 and of
Gas Jack for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were used in preparing the
pro forma statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
pro forma statements of income do not include any results for GJ Measurement as
the amounts were immaterial and undeterminable. The pro forma statements of
income are not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred had
the acquisitions been consummated as of the beginning of the periods presented
or that might be attained in the future. Certain information normally included
in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Pro Forma
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company and "Management's' Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1999 and its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 1999 and
September 30, 1999 previously filed with the SEC.

(2)  Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number outstanding during the periods assuming that the 33,333 shares of
common stock issued for the acquisition of GJ Measurement were issued at the
beginning of the periods. The diluted earnings per share were computed using the
same method as basic earnings except for including the 4,300 shares of Alpha
common stock options outstanding during the periods.

(3)  Acquisitions

On October 29, 1999, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement by
and among Emerging Alpha Corporation ("Emerging Alpha") and the stockholders of
Gas Jack, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation ("Gas Jack"), Emerging Alpha acquired
all of the outstanding capital stock of Gas Jack for $2.7 million cash. The
purchase price was financed through a $2.8 million term loan facility provided
by Hibernia National Bank to Emerging Alpha. In addition, Emerging Alpha and Gas
Jack entered into a $1.0 million working capital facility with Hibernia National
Bank primarily to be used to finance the working capital requirements of Gas
Jack.

In addition, on October 29, 1999, Emerging Alpha acquired all of the outstanding
units of GJ Measurement, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company, for
33,333 shares of Emerging Alpha common stock.

(4)  Adjustments to Historical Financial Statements

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical financial
statements as if all the acquisitions described in Note 3 were consummated as of
the beginning of the periods presented:

     (a)  To reflect the additional equity issued, cash used, debt repaid, debt
          incurred and related changes in interest expense resulting from the
          acquisitions.

     (b)  To reflect the change in income taxes related to the pro forma
          adjustments.
