                        LEADING-EDGE EARTH PRODUCTS, INC.

                        (A Development Stage Enterprise)

July 31, 1999

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND POOLING INTERESTS Leading-Edge Earth Products, Inc. (an Oregon
corporation) believes its products have applications for single-family,
multifamily residential, and low-rise commercial construction. The Company is
considered to be in the development stage. Significant revenues have not yet
been generated from research and development activities or planned operations.
The Company's business activities have been financed primarily through the
issuance of equity securities, outside loans, and loans from shareholders.

LEEP was incorporated on December 23, 1991. On December 29, 1992, Leading-Edge
Earth Products, Inc., merged with an inactive public company, Crystal Asset
Management, Inc., which was incorporated in Oregon in 1968. This business
combination was accounted for as a pooling of interest. The newly combined
company was named Leading-Edge Earth Products, Inc. The stock began to trade
publicly in March 1993 under the trading symbol "LEEP".

USE OF 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 revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECEIVABLES As a result of an agreement with Agile Building Technology, Inc.
("Agile") and others in fiscal 1997, the Company does not expect to collect
license and consulting revenues and interest due from Agile until after Agile is
in production and is in a position to make payments on amounts owning to the
Company. Consequently the Company adjusted revenues and established a reserve
for totaling $333,914 and $279,954 for amounts due from Agile at July 31, 1999
and 1998.

INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE Cash and other resources advanced to LBS is accounted
for at cost and includes accrued interest. The recoverability of this asset
depends on the successful marketing of the Company's products. Because of the
nature of the relationship with LBS, this investment is treated as a Long-Lived
Asset. See discussion under Related Party Transactions below.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consists of land purchased in
Idaho and costs associated with the development of a new plant.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Net Loss per common share is computed based on the
weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding. There was no difference between primary and fully diluted earnings
for the period presented.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Options to purchase 700,000 shares of stock were issued
during the quarter ended July 31, 1999 to key individuals providing important
services to LEEP. LEEP has not accounted for an expense relating the options
granted during the quarter.

Note 2: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES AGREEMENT LEEP has entered into an agreement with the
owner of DB Associates, a stockholder and member of the Board of Directors, to
provide architectural and sales services. In addition to normal hourly rates for
architectural services, DB Associates will be paid for sales and marketing
efforts at the rate of $1.00 per panel for each panel sold to persons or
companies for which DB Associates performs architectural work.

DB Associates will alternatively receive $0.25 per panel for providing
architectural review for compliance with the Company's standards on projects
with which DB Associates is not directly involved as architect.

PURCHASE OPTION From October 1996 until July 31, 1998, L/A Investors financially
supported establishing pilot production operations in Pennsylvania for LEEP's
STRUCTURAL CORE product. On or about July 31, 1998, the Company began
negotiations with L/A Investors, which culminated in a November 30, 1998
agreement whereby the Company obtained the right to buy L/A's operating company,
LEEP Building Systems, Inc. ("LBS"). The Principal of L/A Investors is a
minority shareholder of the Company's common stock. L/A Investors is the sole
shareholder of LBS. The financial records for LBS are reported to the CEO of
LEEP. See note regarding investment in affiliate below. During fiscal 1999
significant cash and other resources were advanced to LBS. The Company has an
option to purchase LBS. See discussion under Commitments below.

INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE Since July 31, 1998, the Company advanced significant
cash and assets to LBS. The cash and other resources advanced by the Company
under this arrangement have been accounted for as "Investment in Affiliate". The
investment in LBS continues to increase and the relationship with LBS has
evolved. As a result, the investment is now considered a "Long-Lived Asset."

STOCK OPTIONS During the quarter ended July 31, 1999 non-qualified options to
purchase 450,000 common shares were granted at an exercise price of $0.25 per
share for three years to key people, and non-qualified options to purchase
250,000 common shares were granted at an exercise price of $0.25 per share for
two years to key people.

LOANS FROM STOCKHOLDERS On July 31, 1999, the Company owed $461,120, in
unsecured, demand notes payable to stockholders with interest accruing at 8% or
10% per annum. Also, as of July 31 about $85,463 in accrued interest was owed to
officers and directors of the Company.

LINE OF CREDIT On July 31, 1999 the unused portion of LEEP's $50,000 line of
credit was $2,576. The Company's CEO personally guaranteed this line of credit.

Note 3: PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK

PREFERRED The Articles of Incorporation authorize issuance of up to 100,000,000
shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. No
preferred shares have been issued. The Board of Directors has the authority,
without further stockholder action, to determine the preferences, limitations,
and relative rights of the preferred stock, subject to the requirements on the
Oregon Business Corporation Act.

COMMON STOCK Only a portion of the Company's common stock outstanding at July
31, 1999, is freely tradable. The freely tradable shares include the 1,193,683
shares originally held by certain founding stockholders, 995,000 shares
registered on March 4, 1994 and subsequently sold, and those shares issued after
December 29, 1992 where the holding period and trading volume restrictions are
satisfied. The shares



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

issued pursuant to the agreement of merger dated December 29, 1992 and any
shares issued subsequent thereto, are "restricted securities" under the
Securities Act of 1933 and, therefore, are subject to limitations on
transferability.

All warrants to purchase shares of common stock have been called or have
expired.

Note 4: INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets primarily consist of net operating loss carry forwards as
the Company has not generated taxable income since inception. There are no
significant deferred tax liabilities. As management of the Company cannot
determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will receive benefit
from these assets, a valuation allowance has been established to reduce the
deferred tax assets to zero at April 30, 1999. Differences between the
cumulative net loss for financial reporting purposes and that available for
income tax purposes arise primarily as a result of nondeductible expenditures
paid by the issuance of securities and capitalized start up costs.

At April 30, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards available
to reduce taxable income in future years of approximately $4,513,000, which
begin to expire in 2009.

Note 5: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments include cash, receivables, accounts payable,
notes payable and loans from stockholders. Except for notes receivable from
stockholders and loans from stockholders, LEEP believes that the fair value of
these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts based on current
market indicators, such as prevailing market rates. It is not practicable to
estimate the fair value of notes receivable from stockholders and loans from
stockholders, due primarily to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of cash
flows.

Note 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LBS PURCHASE OPTION Management has agreed in principle to acquire LBS,
including, among other things, the pilot production operation in Montgomery, PA
and certain other related assets from L/A Investors the sole shareholder of LBS.
The purchase price is for $250,000 cash, LEEP common shares and preferred shares
convertible into LEEP's common stock. The purchase price will be offset by any
amount owed by LBS to the Company as of July 31, 1998. Additionally, the
Management has agreed to increase the purchase price by $9,500 per month for
each month that the Company does not exercise its option to purchase LBS. On
July 31 nine months had lapsed without exercise of the purchase option for a
commitment by the Company of $85,500 in additional cost to acquire LBS.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use
two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may
recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when
using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise in
some systems, which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something other than
a date. However, management believes that at the Company's present level of
business activity that the Year 2000 Issue will not have an impact on its
operations.

Note 7:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In August 1999, LEEP arranged for a Bradbury Rollforming Machine costing
$872,000 to be manufactured, which is expected to be delivered to LEEP by
December 31, 1999. LEEP has received a



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

lease commitment from Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. for a net lease in the
amount of $872,000 over 60 months with monthly payments of $18,271.88 to pay for
the machine; payments are to commence after delivery of the machine. Grant
Record and an outside investor have provided a limited guarantee. A recourse
and remarketing agreement has been provided by the manufacturer.

LEEP entered into an agreement with the outside investor providing the
guarantee, which requires LEEP to escrow 1,000,000 shares of 144 restricted
common stock in the guarantor's name to be issued to the guarantor in the event
of default by LEEP that results in the guarantor being required to make
payments. As a part of this agreement LEEP was also required to grant the
guarantor options to purchase 500,000 shares of 144 restricted common stock at
$0.15 per share. The guarantor has since exercised the option to purchase the
500,000 shares of 144 restricted common stock.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Matters discussed herein, contain forward-looking statements that involve risk
and uncertainties. LEEP's results may differ significantly from results
indicated by forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause some
differences, include, but are not limited to:

- -   Changes in general economic conditions, including but not limited to
    increases in interest rates, and shifts in domestic building construction
    requirements;

- -   Changes in government regulations affecting customers, LEEP, or Agile;

- -   Risks generally involved in the construction business, including weather,
    fixed price contracts and shortages of materials or price-competitive labor;

- -   Competition;

- -   The ability of LEEP to successfully bring the products from their
    development stage into full and profitable production;

- -   LEEP's ability to raise sufficient debt and/or equity capital to perfect
    its business plans;

- -   The occurrences of incidents which could subject LEEP to liability or fines;

- -   LEEP's ability to obtain the sales orders necessary to support the volume of
    production required to sustain successful operations.

The operations of Leading-Edge Earth Products, Inc. ("LEEP"), from inception
until late 1997 were focused on research and development (R&D), after which the
corporate emphasis became manufacturing, marketing and sales. LEEP conducted R&D
activities, directly, from 1992 to 1996. R&D was done and paid for by an
affiliate, Agile Building Technology, Inc. ("Agile"), from January to October
1996. In November 1996, management and shareholder-sponsored R&D activities were
undertaken in Pennsylvania, on behalf of LEEP, by LEEP Building Systems, Inc.
("LBS"), assisted by LEEP's CEO, Grant Record. Between November 1996 and early
1998, a viable, patent pending structural panel and building system was
completed, tested and a patent application additional to LEEP's earlier claims,
was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Two additional patent
applications were filed during the quarter ended July 31, 1999. One additional
U/S/ patent was granted during the quarter. The product is known as "LEEP
STRUCTURAL CORE(TM)" ("LEEP CORE"). The management/investor group that sponsored
LEEP's 1996/1997 R&D also developed a pilot manufacturing facility in
Pennsylvania to produce LEEP CORE. Pilot production began in early 1998.
Significant purchase of equipment and manufacturing facilities by LEEP and its
affiliates and/or subsidiaries is planned during 1999, as well as the addition
of personnel to expand the pilot manufacturing facility's capacity and support
the planning and launch of large-scale manufacturing operations for LEEP CORE.
The LBS plant in Pennsylvania currently has the capacity to produce sufficient
panels to build one commercial building every ten days, in the lower-tier size
range of LEEP's 1,000 to 15,000 sq.ft. target market. Equipment valued at
$872,000 that will help to increase production in the LBS Pennsylvania plant to
three such buildings a week has been ordered and is expected to be delivered by
the end of the year (see Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements). LEEP
continues to loan operating capital to LBS in anticipation of LEEP exercising
its options to purchase LBS upon completing a long term financing package (see
Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements).



                                       9
<PAGE>   10
LEEP's primary fiscal year 2000 focus is to finance the manufacturing, marketing
and selling of LEEP CORE. The long-term strategy of LEEP is to form, finance,
control, and manage regional manufacturing plants worldwide.

The Company is engaged in discussions with several funding sources for up to $23
million, to: (1) purchase LBS and expand LEEP's pilot operations in Pennsylvania
to produce sufficient LEEP CORE to construct one medium size commercial building
a day, and (2) construct LEEP's first full-scale, continuous, automated,
manufacturing plant with a daily production capacity of 100,000 sq.ft. of LEEP
STRUCTURAL CORE, and have sufficient working capital to establish profitable
operations. This full-scale plant is planned to be located in Shoshone, ID where
LEEP owns 35 acres of prime rail-side industrial property.

LEEP has retained the Pinnacle Consulting Group, Snohomish, WA to assist with
completing and implementing the design of the Shoshone, ID facility. Pinnacle's
work will result in a set of drawings, specifications, and equipment vendor
lists. LEEP will be able to use Pinnacle's documentation package, permanently,
to duplicate the Shoshone facility.

In October 1998, LEEP CORE was tested at the Structural Research Laboratory of
the University of Washington's Department of Civil Engineering. The University
report indicates that LEEP's 4" thick by 12' high by 4' wide wall system is five
times stronger than required to support the roof load of typical designs of
American commercial buildings. The tests certify, respectively,
point-load--9,000 lbs.; distributed wall-load--14,000 lbs.; and point-load
internally reinforced--30,000 lbs. (See 8-KSB report filed on December 10,
1998.) Testing to determine the product's capability to withstand wind and floor
loads has been performed informally by LEEP. More advanced tests are
currently in process at the University of Washington to certify all remaining
force resistance characteristics of the LEEP STRUCTURAL CORE product.

LEEP management has been in contact with several developers and their
representatives in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. These contacts have
widened the market scope of LEEP to include large volume projects that,
potentially, match LEEP's expected large volume production plans and
corresponding production technology. Planning for these large volume markets
anticipates less order-to-order variation with corresponding savings in sales
fulfillment costs. During the quarter ending July 31, 1999, the Company has
gained more exposure to desirable domestic building construction opportunities.
The foreign opportunities remain; however, the Company is now heavily engaged in
addressing several high-visibility projects aimed at exposing the Company's
advanced technical and building construction attributes in the U.S. markets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: In recent years LEEP has been almost entirely
dependent on its CEO, Grant Record, arranging credit facilities, making personal
loans, procuring loans from other stockholders, and selling stock to investors
in order to meet the immediate cash needs of LEEP. LEEP has no revenue from
operations and does not have assets that can be liquidated to cover cash
requirements. Management, however, believes that LEEP is in the best position of
its life to raise the required capital to meet its published objectives. This
owes to the fact that LEEP's R&D was completed and LEEP's product moved through
its final developmental phase into production. LEEP's business plan indicates
that the $23 million to be raised will allow LEEP to achieve significant levels
of production and sales in the year 2000. The $23 million budget is allocated as
follows: $2 million for manufacturing buildings, $15 million for manufacturing
equipment, $4.5 million for operating capital and a $1.5 million reserve. The
Rollforming Machine costing $872,000 to be installed in the LBS Pennsylvania
plant will be financed with a net lease agreement described in Note 7 of the
Notes to Financial Statements.



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

In the year ended April 30, 1996, LEEP raised $23,541 from the sale of stock,
$202,700 in loans from stockholders, and exchanged $496,011 worth of LEEP
obligations for stock. In the year ended April 30, 1997, LEEP raised $25,000
from the exercise of stock options, borrowed $115,452 with demand notes, and
issued stock in exchange for $514,627 in LEEP obligations. In the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1998, LEEP raised $20,000 from the sale of stock, borrowed
$51,562 from stockholders and $386,500 from a credit facility, and issued stock
for $605,132 worth of LEEP obligations. In the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999,
LEEP received $46,816 from a credit facility, sold stock for $170,000 in cash
and payables, and increased notes payable by $98,020. To date LEEP has used
$47,424 of a $50,000 credit facility. Since the end of the last fiscal year,
LEEP has issued stock in exchange for $194,757 of its obligations, received
$115,000 in additional loans from stockholders, and received $75,000 from the
exercise of options to buy stock. A promissory note that came due for $73,020
has been extended to October 31, 1999.

LEEP will need to continue with borrowings and selling stock in order to
continue funding its corporate overhead, until the level of cashflow generated
from operations allows self-sustained operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: No cash was received as revenue for the quarter ended
July 31, 1999. At the present time LEEP is not booking sales or receiving
license or consulting revenue. Interest due from LBS is being accounted for as a
Long-Lived Asset and LEEP continues to accrue interest earned from Agile to a
reserve account. There were no unusual expenses associated with operations in
the quarter ended July 31, 1999.

LEEP has not uncovered any material year 2000 issues that could affect LEEP's
business, results of operations, or financial condition.

For further analysis, see LEEP's Statement of Cash Flows.
