AMERICAN TIRE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Organization
The consolidated financial statements include those of American Tire
Corporation (ATC) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Urathon Limited (UL)
(formerly UTI Chemicals (Europe) Limited). Collectively, they are referred to
herein as "the Company".
ATC was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 30,
1995. The Company was organized to take advantage of existing proprietary and
non-proprietary technology available for the manufacturing of specialty tires.
ATC has had limited operations since its organization and is a "development
stage" company. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing, marketing,
distribution, and sales of "flatfree" specialty tires from its manufacturing
facility located in Ravenna, Ohio.
b. Accounting Method
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting. The Company has elected a June 30 year end.
c. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities
of three months or less at the time of acquisition. The Company's cash account
at its bank is insured by the FDIC up to $100,000. The account balance was not
in excess of the insured limits at December 31, 1998.
d. Basic Loss Per Share
The computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the
consolidated financial statements. Common stock equivalents, consisting of
stock options, have not been included in the calculation as their effect is
antidilutive for the periods presented.
e. Principles of Consolidation
The December 31, 1998 consolidated financial statements include those of
American Tire Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Urathon Limited.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
For the Company's foreign subsidiary (UL), the functional currency has been
determined to be the local currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are
translated at the period-end exchange rates, and operating statement items are
translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The
resultant cumulative translation adjustments to the assets and liabilities are
recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Exchange
adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the
determination of net income (loss). Such amounts are immaterial for all
periods presented.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95
"Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's foreign subsidiary
are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related
to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash
flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on
the balance sheets.
f. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires managements 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.
g. Provision for Taxes
As of December 31, 1998, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $7,300,000 that will expire in 2013. No tax benefit has been
reported in the consolidated financial statements because the potential tax
benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation
allowance of the same amount.
h. Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-out
basis) or market. The inventory consists of finished goods produced in the
Company's plant and products purchased for resale.
i. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for small tools,
ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Major
additions and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
Building and improvements 40 years
Equipment and vehicles 5 to 7 years
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Depreciation expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was
$54,748 and $131,201, respectively.
j. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of goods to the customer.

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)
k. Concentrations of Risk
Foreign Currency Translation
- ----------------------------
Since UL is a foreign company whose financial statements must be translated
into U.S. Dollars to conform with the requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, major changes in the currency exchange rate between Pound
Sterling and U.S. Dollars may have a significant impact on operations of the
Company. Although the Company does not anticipate the currency exchange rate
to be significantly different over the 12 months, no such assurances can be
given.
Accounts Receivable
- -------------------
Credit losses, if any, have been provided for in the consolidated financial
statements and are based on managements' expectations. The Company's accounts
receivable are subject to potential concentrations of credit risk. The
Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual, or significant
risks in the normal course of its business.
l. Patents
Patents and related technology have been capitalized at December 31, 1998.
The patents are still pending and no amortization of the costs has been
recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 1998.
m. Change in Accounting Principle
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" during the year ended June 30, 1998.
SFAS No. 130 established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income (loss) and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a
full set of general purpose financial statements. This statement requires
that an enterprise classify items of other comprehensive income by their
nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of a balance sheet. SFAS No. 130 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has
retroactively applied the provisions of this new standard by showing the other
comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented.
n. Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense
as incurred.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements
- ---------------------------------------------------------
This report may contain "forward-looking" statements. The Company is
including this cautionary statement for the express purpose of availing itself
of the protections of the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to all such forward-looking
statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to: (a) projections of revenues, capital expenditures, growth,
prospects, dividends, capital structure and other financial matters; (b)
statements of plans and objectives of the Company or its management or Board
of Directors; (c) statements of future economic performance; (d) statements of
assumptions underlying other statements and statements about the Company and
its business relating to the future; and (e) any statements using the words
"anticipate," "expect," "may," "project," "intend" or similar expressions.
Year 2000 Disclosure
- --------------------
The Company is working to resolve the potential impact of the year 2000
on the ability of the Company's computerized information systems to accurately
process information that may be date-sensitive. Any of the Company's programs
that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000
could result in errors or system failures. The Company utilizes a minimum
number of computer programs in its operations. The Company has not completed
its assessment, but currently believes that costs of addressing this issue
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position.
However, if the Company and third parties upon which it relies are unable to
address this issue in a timely manner, it could result in a material financial
risk to the Company. In order to assure that this does not occur, the Company
plans to devote all resources required to resolve any significant year 2000
issues in a timely manner.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Company manufactures the flat-free tires utilizing single and/or
multiple head, centrifugal molding machines. These machines centrifugally
mold elastomer products, such as the bicycle tires, by pouring a predetermined
amount of polyurethane into a mold, which is then spread out in the mold
through centrifugal force. The molding process occurs when the liquid
polyurethane formula (made up of isocyanide and polyol) is combined with a
catalyst. This combination causes a chemical reaction that results in the
cross linking of the chemicals, which thereafter become solid. The mold then
moves to the next station where the tire is removed and the process is
repeated.
The Company's revenues are generated primarily by its business operations
in the United States. However in February 1997, the Company acquired all of
the capital stock of its current subsidiary Urathon Limited. For the six month
periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the functional currency for the
Company's foreign subsidiary (Urathon Limited) has been determined to be the
British Pound Sterling. Assets and liabilities have been translated at period
end exchange rates and operating statement items are translated at average
exchange rates prevailing during the period. For the six month periods ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had a gain of $5,390 and $0,
respectively, as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments.
<PAGE> 19
Six Month Period ended December 31, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total revenues for the six month period ended December 31, 1998 was
$247,298 compared to $221,159 for the same period in 1997. Costs of sales for
the six month period ended December 31, 1998 were $166,678, or 67.4% of sales
as compared to $162,202, or 73.3% of sales for the same period ended December
31, 1997. The decrease in the cost of sales as a percent of sales for 1998
compared to 1997 is attributable to efficiencies developed in the Company's
manufacturing process during the period. The Company knows of no predictable
events or uncertainties that may be reasonably expected to have a material
impact on the net sales revenues or income from continuing operations other
than the lack of working capital.
Corporate Expense. For the six month period ended December 31, 1998,
total operating expenses were $892,542, consisting of mainly of payroll and
payroll taxes of $425,866, depreciation and amortization of $107,842 and
selling, general and administrative expenses of $308,834, resulting in a loss
from operations of $(811,922). Total operating expenses for the same period
ended December 31, 1997 were $978,764, mainly consisting of payroll and
payroll taxes of $361,916, depreciation and amortization of $252,654, and
selling, general and administrative expenses of $296,154, resulting in a loss
from operations of $(919,807).
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six month period ended
December 31, 1998 was $186,665 compared to $56,095 for the same period in
1997. The increase in interest expense for the period in 1998 is directly
attributed to issuance of convertible promissory notes and other borrowing
during the period and the prepayment of interest and other costs in connection
therewith.
The Company experienced a net comprehensive loss of $(973,414) for the
six month period ended December 31, 1998 compared to a loss of $(975,387) for
the same period in 1997. The basic loss per share for the period was $(0.18)
in 1998 and $(0.27) in 1997, based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding of 5,349,250 and 3,667,486, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
During the six month period ended December 31, 1998, the Company issued
1,250 shares of its common stock to note holders in lieu of interest on
convertible promissory notes at approximately $3.00 per share for a value of
$3,751. In addition, 1,122,500 shares of common stock were issued to the
holders of the convertible promissory notes on conversion of $1,225,000 of
such notes at a conversion price of $1.00 per share.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had current assets of $367,586 and
current liabilities of $859,612, for a working capital deficit of $(492,026).
At December 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,471 and
accounts receivable of $198,473. Net cash used in operations for the six month
period in 1998 $274,351 compared to $315,012 in 1997. Cash used in operations
for the six month period in 1998 was funded primarily by cash received from
the sale of convertible promissory notes.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had net property and equipment of
$1,066,158, after deduction of $409,269 in accumulated depreciation. The
Company's property and equipment consists mainly of land ($59,000), building
<PAGE> 20
and improvements ($296,741), and equipment ($1,080,723). At December 31, 1998,
the Company has an accumulated deficit during the development stage of
$(7,501,025), has a working capital deficit and limited internal financial
resources. The report of the Company's auditor for its fiscal year ended June
30, 1998, contains a going concern modification as to the ability of the
Company to continue. The Company has begun to effect measures to reduce cash
outflows and increase working capital through the issuance of additional
shares of common stock for services and conversion of debt.
The Company is aware of its ongoing cash requirements and has implemented
a cash flow plan, including continued reduction in its general and
administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company has developed an overall
strategy and certain financing options to meet its ongoing needs through June
30, 1999. Due to the need for working capital for both the Company and its
subsidiary Urathon Limited, the Company intends to seek additional debt and/or
equity financing from existing shareholders and other investment capital
resources. The Company has no commitments for any additional debt or equity
financing at this time and no assurance can be given that the Company will be
able to obtain any such commitments. Because of the Company's limited
financial resources, the Company does not anticipate expending any substantial
sums for new research and development during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1999.
Impact of Inflation
- -------------------
The Company does not anticipate that inflation will have a material
impact on its current or proposed operations.
Principal Customers
- -------------------
During the quarter the Company had no individual customer that accounted
for more than 10% of the Company's revenues.
Seasonality
- -----------
Management of the Company knows of no seasonal aspects relating to the
nature of the Company business operations that had a material effect on the
financial condition or results of operation of the Company.
