NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BACKGROUND

Kyzen(R) Corporation ("Kyzen" or the "Company") was formed to develop
environmentally safer chemical solutions to replace ozone-depleting solvents.
The Company manufactures and markets chemical solutions and processes used in
high-technology cleaning applications, including electronic assemblies and
precision metal and plastic components where precision cleaning processes are
required. The Company also manufactures peripheral equipment such as process
control systems and chemical handling systems that enhance the use by customers
of the Company's chemical solutions. Sales of such equipment totaled less than
6% of net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2000. Typically these products
are sold as separate items and are integrated into a cleaning process by the
customer or by the Company as part of a contract service. The Company's
operations are located in Nashville, Tennessee and Manchester, New Hampshire.

The Company's operations are conducted within one reportable segment. Sales to
customers outside the United States totaled $238,061 or 15% of net sales in the
three months ended June 30, 2000, and $189,371 or 13% of net sales in the three
months ended June 30, 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net sales to
customers outside the United States totaled $616,977 or 19% compared to $370,888
or 12% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999. One customer
accounted for 13% of net foreign sales during the first quarter of 2000. No
other customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales for the periods
presented.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The interim balance sheet at June 30, 2000 and the interim statements of
operations and of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosure related
thereto, normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, have been omitted, although
management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make information
presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim
financial statements were prepared following the same policies and procedures
used in the preparation of the audited financial statements and all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments to fairly present the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim
financial statements, have been included. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1999, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1999. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), the Company calculates basic
earnings per share as income available to common shareholders divided by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per share is calculated using the "if converted method" for convertible
securities and the treasury stock method for options and warrants as prescribed
by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. SFAS No. 128 has been applied to
the periods presented.

SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to disclose a reconciliation of the numerators
and denominators used in basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings
per share have been computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding, including the dilutive effects of common stock options using the
treasury stock method which resulted in an additional 23,455 shares outstanding
in 2000. Because the Company incurred a net loss in 1999, the effect of common
stock options was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
in 1999 as such effect was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3  SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

In January 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Shareholder
Rights Plan (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the Plan, the Company declared a
dividend of preferred stock purchase rights (the "Rights") which generally
become exercisable upon the earlier of ten days following a public announcement
that a person or group has acquired 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock or
ten days following the announcement of a tender offer which would result in a
person or group acquiring 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock. The Rights
entitle the registered holder of one share of Common Stock to purchase from the
Company one one-hundredth of a share of $0.01 par value Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at a purchase price of $5.00 per
right (the "Purchase Price"), subject to certain adjustments. The Rights expire
at the close of business on January 15, 2009 unless earlier redeemed or extended
by the Company.

Under certain circumstances, the Plan allows each holder of Common Stock, other
than the acquiring person or group, to receive upon exercise, the number of
shares of Common Stock having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price.

NOTE 4  INCOME TAXES

No provision for income taxes has been included due to the availability of net
operating loss carry-forwards sufficient to cover the earnings for the first six
months of 2000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from all business sources
increased approximately 10% or $141,527 to $1,567,744 as compared to $1,426,217
for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This increase is attributable to balanced
growth in sales of both Equipment, Product and Peripherals (EP&P) and base
chemical products reflecting continued growth and market penetration through new
product innovations.

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 decreased 2% or $15,012 to
$809,909 as compared to $824,921 in the second quarter of 1999. This decrease is
attributable to changes in our sales mix including more products with lower than
normal profit margins.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 decreased 15% or $125,217 to $732,298 as compared to $848,515 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This decrease reflects the continued attention
of management to increasing the efficiency of administrative operations such as
using in-house production equipment to produce many of our standard product
brochures, the Company's annual report to shareholders, and the absence of
certain corporate expenses associated with the 1999 re-domestication of the
Company to Tennessee. In addition, during the second quarter of 1999, the
Company recorded a non-cash charge of $20,129 for the value of options granted
to non-employee directors. There were no charges of this nature during the
second quarter of 2000.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 decreased
8% or $7,702 to $92,128 from $99,830 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This
decrease resulted from reduced purchases of experimental materials and supplies
and the allocation of personnel resources during the quarter.

Operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 decreased 96% or $117,907 to
a loss of $5,517 from a loss of $123,424 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
This change is the culmination of both increased sales and lower administrative
expenses during the second quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in
1999.

Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $7,875 compared to other
income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 of $5,180. The 59% increase reflects
higher interest income from cash reserves.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by $120,602 to $2,358
from a loss of $118,244 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This increase is
the result the net effect of higher sales revenue generation by both in-house
personnel and outside sales representatives and the control of administrative
spending.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased approximately 8% or
$228,353 to $3,258,664 from sales of $3,030,311 for the six months ended June
30, 1999. This increase reflects balanced growth in chemical and EP&P sales.
International sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 increased
$246,090 or approximately 66% compared to the same period in 1999. This increase
is the result of increased demand for the Company's products from existing
customers as well as new customer growth.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased 1% or $22,577 to
$1,733,067, as compared to $1,755,644 in the six months ended June 30, 1999.
This decrease is attributable to increased sales of more products with lower
profit margins.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 decreased 9% or $141,619 to $1,474,310 as compared to $1,615,929
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease reflects management's
decision to use in house production equipment to produce many of the Company's
standard product brochures and the Company's annual report to shareholders and
the absence of certain expenses associated with the redomestication of the
Company to Tennessee. In addition, during the second quarter of 1999, the
Company recorded a non-cash charge of $20,129 for the value of options granted
to non-employee directors. There were no charges of this nature during the first
six months of 2000.

PART I (CONT.)


Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000
decreased 5% or $9,607 to $193,988 from $203,595 for the six months ended June
30, 1999. This decrease resulted from reduced purchases of experimental
materials and supplies in the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the allocation
of personnel resources during the quarter.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased 201% or
$128,649 from a loss of $63,880 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This
increase is due to increased sales of both chemical and equipment products and
the continued focus on lowering administrative costs.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased 115% or $88,488
from an expense of $77,226 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. During the
first six months ended June 30, 1999 the Company recorded a non-cash charge of
approximately $87,181 due to collectibility concerns on a note receivable from
certain former employees and a reduction in interest on notes receivable from
former employees. This was a one-time charge did not occur in 2000.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased 154% or $217,137 for
a total of $76,031 from a loss of $141,106, for the six months ended June 30,
1999. This increase is due to increased revenue and the control of
administrative spending by more efficient use of personnel, and the lack of any
non-recurring charges during the six months ended June 30, 2000.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

financing or equity capital with favorable terms and conditions; the
availability of new expansion and acquisition opportunities; changes in the
financial condition or corporate strategy of the Company's primary customers;
and the ability of the Company to develop new competitive product lines. Actual
results, events and performance may differ materially from those projected.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking

PART I (CONT.)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary source of funds has been cash flows from operations. The
Company's primary uses of funds are the funding of research and development of
new product lines, purchase of capital equipment, pursuit of patents and sales
and marketing activities.

As of June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $1,386,770 compared to
$1,247,429 as of December 31, 1999, representing an increase of $139,341 or 11%
from December 31, 1999. This increase is due to positive cash flows from
operations, increased accounts receivable balances and increases in other
current assets, which were offset by increases in accounts payable balances.

Cash provided by operations of $73,604 in the six months ended June 30, 2000
represented a $29,534 or 29% decrease over cash provided by operations of
$103,138 during the six months ended June 30, 1999. This change is the result of
higher net income and higher inventory and accounts payable levels, offset by
decreased depreciation expense, the absence of one time charges such as the
non-cash charge and the write off of interest receivable, and higher accounts
receivable and other current asset levels.

Cash used by investing activities of $75,274 in the six months ended June 30,
2000 represented a decrease of $8,150 or 10% from cash used by investing
activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999 of $83,424. This change is
the result of lower levels of fixed asset purchases and lower patent
applications expenses.

The Company used no cash for financing activities in the six months ended June
30, 2000 and used $593 during the six months ended June 30, 1999 for the payment
of the balance due under a long-term debt agreement for office equipment.

The Company anticipates, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions
relating to its operations and expansion plans, that its current cash balances
together with projected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to satisfy
its contemplated cash requirements at least through December 31, 2000. The
Company's cash requirements for the remainder of 2000 and beyond will depend
primarily upon the level of sales of chemical products, product development,
sales and marketing expenditures, timing of any acquisitions, timing of
expansion plans and capital expenditures. In the event the Company's plans
change, or its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate (due to
unanticipated expenses, delays, or otherwise), the Company could be required to
seek additional financing from public or private debt and equity markets prior
to such time. There can be no assurance, however, that these sources will be
available to the Company on favorable terms, and unfavorable markets could limit
the Company's ability to obtain additional financing. Further, there can be no
assurance that the Company could obtain a credit facility, if needed, or that,
if obtained, it will be on favorable terms. Failure to obtain financing on terms
favorable to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the Company plans
to continue to investigate potential acquisition candidates that are consistent
with the Company's growth strategies, which would create additional financing
needs for the Company.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE DEVELOPMENTS

In 1998, manufacturers in the Peoples Republic of China became significant
suppliers to the Company. In 1999, the Company imported approximately 35% of its
raw material from foreign sources, the largest being China. The Company expects
to continue to import about the same amount of raw material from foreign sources
in 2000. President Clinton has submitted legislation to Congress to extend
Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) status to the Peoples Republic of China.
The Company believes the enactment of this legislation could mitigate some of
the potential risk of importing materials from China. If the proposed
legislation is not enacted, the Company will continue to obtain a large portion
of these raw materials domestically and has contingency plans if Chinese sources
are no longer able to provide them.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. The Company has adopted
the provisions of SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2000. As the Company has not
engaged, and does not plan to engage in derivative or hedging activities, the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 has not had a material impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.
