                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------
         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are
         for interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the
         audited annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited
         consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto,
         together with management's discussion and analysis of financial
         condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's annual
         Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997 of
         Aquagenix, Inc. ("the Company"), as filed with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission. The December 31, 1997 financial statements were
         derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not
         include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
         principles. Certain amounts from 1997 financial statements have been
         reclassified to conform to 1998 presentation.

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal
         recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
         position and results of operations. The results of operations for the
         interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year.

2.       Related Party Transactions
         --------------------------
         On June 2, 1998, the Board of Directors removed the Chief Executive
         Officer from his executive management capacity and from his capacity as
         Chairman of the Board of Directors. In a series of transactions
         commencing in the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company disbursed cash
         either directly to or for the benefit of the former Chief Executive
         Officer totaling $682,000. Of this amount, $282,000 was disbursed at
         the unilateral direction of the former CEO without approval of the
         Board of Directors. Prior to the removal date, the Board did authorize
         $400,000 of these disbursements with the understanding that the former
         CEO would deliver a two-year promissory note bearing interest at 7%.
         Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Board demanded immediate repayment of
         the $282,000 portion of the advances and delivery of a signed note with
         acceptable collateral for the authorized portion of the advances. These
         demands have not been met. Based upon the facts and circumstances
         available to management at this time, the ultimate recovery of these
         advances remains uncertain, and, accordingly, the Company has recorded
         a loss allowance of $682,000 relative to these claims. This accounting
         treatment does not constitute forgiveness of the claims against the
         former CEO, and the Company intends to pursue collection through
         available legal channels.

3.       Financing Advances
         ------------------
         At the direction of the former CEO and without authorization of the
         Board of Directors, the Company transferred funds totaling $225,000 to
         two different entities to secure financing arrangements for the
         Company. Such funds were transferred prior to performance by the
         entities to provide the financing. When the financing never occurred,
         and although there is no assurance that the deposits can be recovered,
         the Company is actively attempting to secure refunds, including placing
         a demand upon the former CEO for reimbursement of the $225,000 or the
         delivery  of adequate collateral. The accompanying financial statements
         include a loss provision of

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
         $225,000 relative to these deposits, however, this accounting treatment
         is not an admission that the Company is relinquishing its claim to
         these deposits.

4.       Termination of Business Acquisition
         -----------------------------------
         On November 30, 1997, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
         Agreement, (the "Agreement") with the owner of Lewis Tree Service, Inc.
         ("Lewis") a New York Corporation, to acquire all of the issued and
         outstanding stock of Lewis. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement,
         an Escrow Agreement was also entered into on November 30, 1997
         requiring the Company to place $670,000 in escrow pending the closing
         of the purchase of Lewis by January 31, 1998. On January 29, 1998, the
         Company entered into an Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and Escrow
         Agreement to extend the closing date to May 15, 1998 and to place an
         additional $1,830,000 in the escrow account. The Company increased the
         deposit to the escrow account to $2,500,000 on February 4, 1998. On
         April 17, 1998, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement with
         the owner of Lewis. The Termination Agreement provided for (i) the
         termination of the original Agreement and Amended Stock Purchase
         Agreement, (ii) the termination of the original and amended Escrow
         Agreement and (iii) the distribution of $1,250,000 of the funds held in
         escrow to the Lewis owner with the balance, including interest earned,
         distributed to the Company.

         In order to raise the deposit required by the Amended Stock Purchase
         and Escrow Agreement, the Company restructured stock options previously
         granted to certain officers, directors, employees and former employees
         of the Company. Such restructuring involved the resetting of option
         exercise prices to amounts below the current market at that time and
         the acceleration of the date on which certain options could be
         exercised. Accordingly, the Company recognized compensation expense for
         options restructured based on the difference between the quoted market
         price of the Company's stock at the date of grant and the amount the
         grantees paid to acquire the stock. In connection with the Lewis
         transaction the Company recognized $752,225 of compensation expense.

         The following summary presents the nature of the loss recognized
         pursuant to the Lewis termination agreement:

5.       Termination of Consulting Relationship
         --------------------------------------
         At December 31, 1997, an independent consultant held options to
         purchase 200,000 common shares at $5.00 per share, the market price on
         date of issuance, which were granted in connection with a proposed
         financing. In satisfaction of the agreement with the consultant
         (inclusive with the grant of stock options), on January 19, 1998 the
         Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock. Subsequent to March 31,
         1998, the Company disbursed $151,000 to the consultant.

6.       Loss Per Share
         --------------
         Basic loss per common share was computed by dividing net loss by the
         weighted average number of shares outstanding. Common share equivalents
         resulting from options and warrants have not been included for the loss
         per share computation for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
         1997 since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

7.       Notes Receivable
         ----------------
         The Company has its current Chief Executive Officer $155,000 on an
         unsecured basis. The notes mature in June of 2000 and bear interest at
         7%.

8.       Issuance of Common Stock
         ------------------------
         In January and February of 1998, the Company issued 346,500 shares of
         common stock for the exercise of options. The Company received total
         cash proceeds of $1,017,976.

         On January 16, 1998, the successor of the underwriter for the Company's
         initial public offering exercised cashless warrants granted pursuant to
         the underwriting agreement resulting in the issuance of 11,458 common
         shares with no cash proceeds.

         On February 3, 1998, the Company issued 125,000 shares of common stock
         resulting from the exercise of outstanding warrants granted on that
         date. The Company received total cash proceeds of $750,000 upon the
         exercise of these warrants.

         On January 19, 1998, the Company issued 105,000 shares of common stock
         with no cash proceeds received by the Company. Of these shares, 5,000
         were issued pursuant to an employment agreement with a former employee
         and 100,000 were issued to a consultant (see note 3 above) for the
         exercise of a cashless option. The Company `s financial statements for
         the year to date period ended June 30, 1998, include a compensatory
         expense totaling $781,000 relative to the issuance of these shares.

         On June 24, 1998, the Company issued 13,333 shares of common stock to
         its outside legal counsel in exchange for professional services valued
         at $20,000.

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

         General

         Aquagenix, Inc. (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
         provides aquatic and industrial vegetation management services to both
         governmental and commercial customers in Florida, the general
         Southeastern region of the United States, California and Arizona. The
         Company's continued emphasis on quality service, internal growth and
         the selective acquisition of privately held waterway and vegetation
         management companies in the Sunbelt region of the United States has
         resulted in the Company becoming the largest provider of aquatic and
         industrial vegetation management services in the United States with
         annual revenues of approximately $13,000,000 for 1997. The Company's
         services consist primarily of waterway and wetland management (the
         control of aquatic weeds, algae and exotic plants), brush and noxious
         tree control, roadside vegetation management, and ancillary lake
         management services (installation of aeration systems, fish stocking
         for plant and insect control d the stocking of fish for game, plant and
         insect control.

         In April 1997, the Company established a new branch office in
         Birmingham, Alabama as the Company has started to provide industrial
         vegetation management services in that region. In September 1997, the
         Company opened a branch in San Francisco, California.

         Results of Operations

         Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended June 
         --------------------------------------------------------------------
         30, 1997
         --------

         Revenues. The Company's revenues increased by $973,000 or 27%, from
         $3,603,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $4,576, 000
         during the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in revenues
         was primarily attributable to an increase in both aquatic vegetation
         management and environmental construction (planting vegetation medians
         and barriers and installing related irrigation systems). The California
         branch, opened in September 1997, provided over 65% of the revenue
         increase, all from environmental construction projects.

         Cost of services. Cost of services increased by $1,158,000 or 54%, from
         $2,138,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $3,338,000
         during the three months ended June 30, 1998. Cost trended higher in
         conjunction with the higher revenue volume and level of activity. High
         material and labor costs accounted for 60% of the costs increases,
         reflecting the revenue shift to environmental construction work
         mentioned above. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services has
         increased from 59% in the second quarter of 1997 to 73% in the second
         quarter of 1998. Environmental construction revenue recognized by the
         California branch accounted for 14% of the second quarter revenue in
         1998 with no such revenue in 1997. Gross profit margins on this
         business is significantly lower that the margins enjoyed through
         aquatic management services primarily because of competitive 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
         pressures. The Company entered into these contracts to establish a
         business base with the intention of gravitating into the aquatic
         management market in California. The Company currently intends to
         pursue only those California projects that provide profit margin
         potential approximating profit margins that can be obtained from
         aquatic management contracts.

         Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and
         administrative expense increased by $691,000 to $2,026,000 from
         $1,515,000 in the second quarter of 1997. The impact on quarterly
         expense of the loss provisions relating to claims against the former
         Chief Executive Officer and the loss provision relating to advances for
         financing arrangements (discussed in Note 2 and 3 to the financial
         statements) amounted to $730,000. Without this expense of a typically
         nonrecurring nature, SG&A expense remained relatively level with the
         comparable quarter of 1997, despite a significant increase in revenue.

         Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $59,000 from $181,000
         during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $239,000 during the
         three months ended June 30, 1998 primarily as a result of increased
         bank borrowings.

         Quarterly results. The net loss of $1,429,000 incurred by the Company
         for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was to the mainly attributable
         to the nonrecurring loss provisions pertaining to the claims against
         the former CEO and the financing advances discussed in Notes 2 and 3 to
         the financial statements and to lower gross profit margins recognized
         on environmental contract business.

         ----

         Revenues. The Company's revenues increased by $1,094,000, 17%, to
         $7,591,000 from $6,497,000 for the first six months of 1997. The
         increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in
         environmental construction contracts and to a lesser extent aquatic
         vegetation management contracts. The California branch, nonexistent in
         the first six months of 1997, generated this revenue. The remaining
         revenue increases resulted from the aggressive bidding for nonrecurring
         aquatic and land vegetation contracts, and the efforts of a fully
         operational sales staff.

         Cost of services. Cost of services increased by $1,517,000, or 40%,
         from $3,758,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $5,275,000
         during the six months ended June 30, 1998. As a percentage of revenue,
         cost of services, approximated 69% in the first half of 1998 compared
         to 58% in the first half of last year. Lower profit margins on the
         environmental construction projects discussed in the quarterly
         presentation also made a major impact on the year to date results.
         Aggressive bidding also resulted in aquatic and industrial vegetation
         contracts with lower profit margins. The first three months of the year
         were hampered by unfavorable weather conditions, primarily in
         California and Alabama, delaying the commencement of several projects
         while the branches were fully staffed and operational. The Company also
         recognized a gross loss on a problem industrial vegetation contract
         caused by abnormal terrain characteristics and stringent environmental
         requirements regarding the removal of vegetation.

         Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and
         administrative expense increased by $1,765,000, or 64% to $4,526,000
         for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 from $2,761,722 during the
         six months ended June 30, 1997. The impact on expense during the first
         six months of 1998 of the loss provisions relating the Related Party
         Transactions and Financing Advances (discussed in Notes 2 and 3 to the
         financial statements) amounted to $807,000. Current year to date
         expense also includes a charge of $608,000 of compensatory expense
         related to the granting and exercise of employee stock options. The
         remainder of the increase resulted from higher sales salaries because
         of a fully staffed sales force, consulting expenses primarily incurred
         to assist the Company market its services to governmental agencies and
         legal and professional fees.

         Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $81,000 from $379,000
         during the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $460,000 during the six
         months ended June 30, 1997 primarily as a result of increased bank
         borrowings.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Working capital. At June 30, 1998, the Company is in a working capital
         deficit position. Three factors can be identified as primary causes.
         Net operating losses for the six-month period have caused cash balances
         to decrease and account payable balances to increase. The actual cash
         outlay during the six-month period related to the Related Party
         Transactions and the Financing Advances discussed in Notes 2 and 3 to
         the financial statements approximated $678,000, resulting in a further
         decrease in working capital. As discussed under Funding Requirements
         below, all term debt due to Union Planters has been reclassified to the
         current liability section of the balance sheet, resulting in a negative
         impact on working capital of $430,000. Additionally, the Company
         advanced $140,000 to its current CEO, resulting in a further
         utilization of working capital.

         The Company's accounts receivable have increased by $686,000 since
         December 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to the higher volume
         of revenues in the second quarter compared to the fourth quarter of
         1997. Of the Company's accounts receivable outstanding at December 31,
         1997 and June 30, 1998, approximately $311,000 (30%) and $351,000 (21%)
         were due from five customers, respectively At June 30, 1998, the
         Company's allowance for doubtful receivables was $179,000, which the
         Company believes is currently adequate to cover anticipated losses. The
         average collection period for account receivable was approximately 34
         days as of June 30, 1998 as compared to 28 days at December 31, 1997.

         Funding Requirements As of June 30, 1998, the Company had outstanding
         loans to Union Planters Bank (the "Bank') aggregating $1,204,000,
         consisting of outstanding borrowings under a $1,000,000 revolving line
         of credit totaling $640,000 and three term loans totaling $604,000.
         Subsequent to June 30, the Bank informed the Company of its
         unwillingness to remain as a creditor and requested the Company to
         liquidate its debt. All amounts due to this institution have been
         reflected as current liabilities in the June 30, 1998 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

         balance sheet. The Company will be required to raise significant
         additional funds to liquidate these debt and fund potential losses from
         continuing operations. The vehicles used to raise funds may take a
         variety of forms, including public or private placement of its equity
         securities, credit agreements with other financial institutions, or
         inducements given to current warrant and option holders encouraging
         exercise. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
         in its attempts to raise additional funds.

         Cash flows from operating activities. For the six months ended June 30,
         1998, the Company's cash flows used in operations was ($1,313,000)
         compared to ($704,000) used in operations for the six months ended June
         30, 1997. The decrease in cash flows generated from continuing
         operations was primarily attributable to the net loss incurred for the
         six months ended June 30, 1998.

         Cash flows from investing activities. For the six months ended June 30,
         1998, cash used in investing activities totaled ($679,000) resulting
         from deposits to and refunds back from escrow fund in connection with
         the attempted acquisition of Lewis Tree.

         Cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by financing
         activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $1,698,000
         compared to $1,526,000 for the six-month period of 1997. The cash flow
         was derived primarily from the issuance of common stock resulting from
         exercise of options and warrants.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

                  In 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with
                  Wharton Capital Partners, Ltd. (Wharton) whereby Wharton
                  agreed to arrange $3,000,000 of financing for the Company 
                  in return for a 6% fee at the closing of such financing 
                  transaction. No closing occured, however, Wharton 
                  initiated litigation against the Company in August of 1997 
                  claiming $180,000 on the basis that it performed it's 
                  obligations under the terms of the agreement. The Company 
                  feels that the action is without merit and is currently
                  and will continue to vigorously defend itself in this 
                  matter.
