NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments
(which are of a normal, recurring nature) necessary for a fair statement of
the results for the interim periods. The financial statements included herein
have been prepared by Vector Environmental Technologies, Inc. (the "Company")
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included
herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The results for
the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be
realized for the fiscal year.
The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by
the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company's
consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company's September 30,
1996 Form 10-KSB. The Form 10-KSB should be read in conjunction with this
quarterly report.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Awards of
Stock-Based Compensation, was issued by the FASB in October 1995, and
established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
employee compensation plans and for transactions where equity securities are
issued for goods and services. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
123 during the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 1997. This
statement requires expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation
arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation
cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded.
Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply APB No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, which recognizes compensation cost based upon
the intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded. The Company will
continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock-based compensation awards to
employees and will disclose the required pro forma effect on net income and
earnings per share.
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 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1995
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1996, were $288,588 compared
to $240,779 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The $47,809
increase was due to a higher level of sales of products in the North American
market. The gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 1996
was 14.5% compared to 5.7% for the three months ended December 31, 1995 which
reflects higher profit margins on the Company's North American consumer
product line.
Costs and expenses were $838,357 for the three months ended December 31, 1996,
compared to $986,930 for the three months ended December 31, 1995, a decrease
of $148,573. Compensation and benefits decreased $80,591 for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended December 31, 1995
due to decreased staff levels related to the Company outsourcing its North
American marketing and sales efforts effective August 1996. Expenses related
to professional services, primarily legal, and audit decreased by $83,224 in
the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended
December 31, 1995, as a result of unusually high prior period expenses due to
first year audit related costs. Marketing related costs decreased $114,353 in
the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended
December 31, 1995 due to outsourcing of sales and marketing effective August
1996 and the Company incurring higher advertising costs in the three months
ended December 31, 1995 related to the introduction of its new consumer water
purification product line. Travel related expenses increased $93,892 in the
three months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended
December 31, 1995 due to increased travel to Vietnam related to the Company's
community water program and its bottling operations. Other general and
administrative expenses decreased $3,184 in the three months ended December
31, 1996 compared to the three months ended December 31, 1995. Depreciation
expense increased a total of $23,640 in the three months ended December 31,
1996 compared to the three months ended December 31, 1995 due to an increase
in fixed assets in the water bottling plant in Vietnam. Research and
development related expenses of increased $15,247 in the three months ended
December 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended December 31, 1995 due to
continued research on new water purification products.
Interest and other expense was $46,721 for the three months ended December 31,
1996, compared other income of $56,258 for the three months ended December 31,
1995. This decrease in income of $102,979 was due to the Company earning
interest on short term investments in the three months ended December 31, 1995
while it was accruing interest expense on a loan payable to Casmyn Corp. for
the three months ended December 31, 1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
At December 31, 1996, the Company's negative working capital of $816,185,
including $25,939 in cash and cash equivalents. Working capital also includes
$1,708,400 in inventory which resulted from the Company's plan to build
inventory in anticipation of sales. Realization of inventory is dependent on
the Company's ability to sell its products. The Company has active sales and
marketing programs underway in various countries, primarily Vietnam, India,
and Africa. In addition, the Company commenced selling its consumer product
line in North America.
Management anticipates that the net use of cash by operations will increase
during the foreseeable future due to expenditures related to the development
of various markets for the Company's water purification products and
technologies. The Company has borrowed approximately $2,400,000 from Casmyn.
It is management's opinion that additional short term funding will be obtained
from Casmyn sufficient to provide necessary operating funds until the Company
is able to convert its inventory to cash. Longer term projects will
necessitate the Company identifying funding sources to support those projects.
The Company is currently in discussion with a variety of debt and equity
financing sources to help fund both current operations and future projects.
The timing of future projects will depend significantly on the availability of
such funding, however success of obtaining adequate funding is not assured.
As evidence of the Company's ability to secure debt and/or equity financing in
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 the Company received $3,700,000, net
of commissions and other expenses related to the transaction, from the
issuance of stock in various exempt private transactions and $2,000,000 from
the sale of preferred stock to Casmyn Corp., a related party.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities
was $66,985 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared to
$1,143,561 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in the
net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31,
1996 was due principally to reductions in inventory and increases in amounts
due to related parties offset by the net loss related to development of the
Company's water purification systems.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities
was $38,679 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared to $277,263
for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in net cash used
in investing activities was due to the purchase of equipment and improvements,
primarily related to a water bottling plant under construction in Vietnam in
the three months ended December 31, 1995 that were not made in 1996.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing
activities was $54,050 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared
to $4,375,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. During the three
months ended December 31, 1996, the Company received $50,000 from the exercise
of stock options and $4,050 from a short term note. During the three months
ended December 31, 1995, the Company collected subscriptions receivable of
$4,375,000 from private placements of common and preferred stock of the
Company.
