UNIVERSAL ICE BLAST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

(Unaudited)



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation of Unaudited Interim Financial Information



The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-QSB pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company's December 31, 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.



In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily representative of operating results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.



Note 2 - Use of Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



Note 3  Financial Condition, Liquidity and Going Concern



The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  Since inception in 1995, the Company has accumulated losses aggregating $4,720,000, including a loss of $1,164,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.



The Company had a working capital deficit of $888,000 and a stockholders deficit of $1,059,000 at September 30, 2002. Management's plans for continued existence include a focus towards sales of ice blast systems and machines and raising additional capital through the sale of common stock and issuance of debt. The Company is actively pursuing marketing arrangements for their products in the precision, environmental and industrial cleaning markets. These efforts include the arrangement with Ford Motor Company (Ford) as more fully described in Note 6.  In addition, as further discussed in Note 9, the Company has entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with an investment fund.  Subject to certain conditions, the investment fund has agreed to purchase up to $6 million of the Companys common stock.



The Company has also implemented a program to increase shareholder value by committing resources to raising market awareness of the Companys activities and by investing in strategic marketing initiatives designed to shift the Companys direction from predominantly research and development to a broader marketing focus.  The Company's future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon obtaining additional financing.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations or through the sale of additional shares of common stock or from additional borrowings.



During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company converted approximately $97,000 in trade accounts payable to two suppliers to short-term notes payable bearing interest at annual rates of 12% and 18%.  One of these notes, in the amount of approximately $25,400 was paid off during the three months ended September 30, 2002.  In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company converted $10,799 in notes payable and accrued interest to common stock and continues to endeavor to convert other notes payable to common stock.  The Company's ability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and its ability to continue in existence. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 4 - Common Stock



During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company issued 2,376,665 shares of common stock through private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in the aggregate amount of $315,432 to 19 investors, all of whom were accredited investors and/or existing shareholders of the Company.  All of the common shares issued above are restricted subject to Rule 144.  During the same period, under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act the Company issued 2,497,334 shares of common stock and 100,000 warrants to 13 investors for goods and services having a fair market value of $298,419, of which 2,018,333 shares are restricted subject to Rule 144.  During the same period, 74,655 shares of common stock were issued to one investor in exchange for conversion of a note payable of $10,000 and accrued interest of $799.  All such shares are restricted subject to Rule 144.



Note 5 - Stock Options and Warrants



The Company has a stock option plan under which employees, consultants and others may be awarded incentive or non-statutory stock options. The plan authorizes the grant of options for the purchase of up to 6 million shares of common stock. At December 31, 2001 options outstanding, all of which were non-statutory, totaled 1,021,175.  New options to purchase 650,000 shares of stock were granted to employees at prices from $0.20 to $0.25 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  Of the options granted, 350,000 vested immediately, with the balance vesting over four years.  Based on the intrinsic value method, 150,000 of the vesting options included a compensation element in the amount of $3,000.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, employees forfeited 200,000 of the issued but unvested options.



During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company implemented a stock compensation plan in order to provide the Company with a means of compensating selected key employees, officers, directors and consultants for their services rendered to the Company.  The plan authorizes the sale or award of up to 5,000,000 shares and/or options of common stock.  On August 16, 2002, the Company filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form S-8 registering 3,500,000 of the shares authorized under the stock compensation plan.  As of September 30, 2002, 479,001 shares had been issued under the provisions of this plan.



Note 6 - Contract with the Ford Motor Company



During 2001 the Company designed, assembled, and installed a precision gear cleaning ice blast system under the terms of a purchase order from Ford Motor Company. The purchase order is for a price of approximately $341,000 with commitments for an additional three similar systems. In June 2002, Ford notified the Company that Ford has accepted the system and that orders for more systems will be forthcoming.  Management believes the delivery of these systems will occur in 2003.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Ford paid all amounts due to the Company under the terms of the initial purchase order.



As a result of Fords acceptance of the gear cleaning system, the Company recognized approximately $341,000 in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  Costs associated with the system, also recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, were approximately $344,000 resulting in a loss of approximately $3,000. Because of the initial design costs associated with this project, the foregoing results were in line with managements expectations. However, management expects that future systems will provide the Company with margins that will secure the profitability of the Company in the long term.



Note 7  Foreign Operations



During the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company reached an agreement in principle to acquire certain assets of its Dutch distributor. The Company is in the process of forming a Dutch subsidiary in order to consummate the transaction.  Pending the obtaining of adequate financing, the Company expects to complete negotiation of the terms and finalize the formation of its Dutch subsidiary. No definitive agreements have yet been signed.







---



Note 8  Commitments and Contingencies



Certain vendors of the Company have threatened to bring legal action for payment of overdue amounts. Two suits have been filed, however the Company has agreed to a payment plan with the one vendor.  All reasonable amounts relating to these past due liabilities have been accrued in the accompanying financial statements.



During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $25,000 to a major supplier.  The note bears interest at an annual rate of 12% and is payable on demand with 90 days written notice.  Terms of the note include a provision whereby the supplier may convert its outstanding payable from the Company to common stock at a price not to exceed $0.15 per share.  Accounts payable to the supplier are approximately $60,000 at September 30, 2002.  In addition, the note terms call for the Company and the supplier to enter into a separate manufacturing rights licensing agreement.  Terms being negotiated include the suppliers financing of material purchases in order to provide the working capital to build future equipment for Ford and other customers.



Note 9  Subsequent Events



Subsequent to September 30, 2002, the Company issued 320,000 shares of common stock through private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in the aggregate amount of $47,975 to three investors, all of whom were accredited investors and/or existing shareholders of the Company.  An additional 551,267 shares of common stock were issued to eight investors in exchange for goods and services having a fair market value of approximately $97,000.  Of these shares, 404,167 were issued to seven consultants under the terms of the Companys stock compensation plan as discussed in Note 5.



Of the $267,000 in notes payable at September 30, 2002, approximately $81,000 was collateralized by accounts receivable from Ford.  As discussed in Note 6, Ford has paid the Company all amounts due under the initial purchase order.  The Company is negotiating revised repayment terms with its lenders, including the possible conversion of the amounts due into equity.



Subsequent to September 30, 2002, the Company executed a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion), whereby the Company can sell to, and Fusion has agreed to purchase, up to $6 million of the Company's common stock. The Company has no obligation to ever sell shares to Fusion and generally has control over the timing and size of any sales of its shares to Fusion. The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be based on the future market price of the common stock, without any fixed discount to the market price. The term of the agreement is for 30 months. As part of the agreement, the Company will pay to Fusion a commitment fee in the amount of 1,956,522 shares of the Company's common stock.  The Company intends to file a registration statement in the near future to cover the resale of the shares purchased under the agreement, including the commitment fee shares. A copy of the purchase agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.





Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Companys interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB (the Quarterly Report) and with the Companys consolidated annual financial statements and managements discussion and analysis included in the Companys December 31, 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (the Annual Report).

As a result, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein.

Critical Accounting Policies



The Companys financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for Universal Ice Blast include revenue recognition, accounting for research and development costs, and accounting for stock compensation expense, as well as the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis.



Revenue Recognition - Revenue from the sale of stand alone Ice Blast machines and accessories to end users and distributors are shipped FOB shipping point at which time the title passes and revenue is recognized. Where customers require installation services and operational acceptance, shipment is FOB destination and revenue is recognized upon acceptance by the customer. Revenue from services is recognized as the services are provided. Revenue from the rental of Ice Blast machines is recognized over the rental period based on the terms of the rental agreements.



Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. These costs primarily consist of salaries, consultant fees, development materials, supplies and related costs of personnel directly involved in the research and development of new technology.



Stock-Based Compensation - The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Options Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation."  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method, whereby compensation cost is recognized when the exercise price at the date of grant is less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock. The Company discloses the proforma effect of compensation cost based on the fair value method for determining compensation cost. The value of stock-based compensation awarded to non-employees is determined using the fair value method. Compensation cost is recognized over the service or vesting period.



Results of Operations



Three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to three months ended September 30, 2001



During the three months ended September 30, 2002, revenues decreased by 75% to $22,000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Third quarter 2002 sales of machines and accessories decreased to $3,000 from $42,000 during the comparable three-month period of 2001, while service and rental income decreased 58% to $19,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $45,000 during the comparable period of 2001. Third quarter machine revenue consists of $3,000 in amortization of deferred gains on sale/leaseback transactions originating in 1999.  The decrease in service and rental income is attributable to fewer service jobs performed during 2002 as well as the Company's focus on installation and support of the Ford system during 2002 at the expense of potential rental opportunities.



Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was a loss of $4,000, a decrease of $22,000 from the comparable balance for the three months ended September 30, 2001.   The negative gross profit is due to approximately $16,000 in depreciation expense that the Company incurs regardless of whether or not any sales are made.  Gross profits from sales of machines and accessories decreased $17,000 to $3,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the comparable 2001 period. Third quarter 2002 gross profits consist exclusively of the amortization of deferred gains discussed above. Gross profits for the comparable 2001 period relate primarily to the sale of one ice blast machine along with the sale of miscellaneous parts and accessories.  Gross profits from services and rental income decreased to a loss of $7,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to a loss of $2,000 for the comparable period of 2001. The $5,000 decrease in service and rental gross profit is the result of decreased volumes, lower rental and service rates obtained on 2002 work and the aforementioned fixed depreciation costs.





---



For the three months ended September 30, 2002, general and administrative expense increased $372,000 to $509,000 from $137,000 during the comparable period of 2001. The Company issued approximately 2.2 million shares to consultants with a fair value of approximately $241,000 during the third quarter of 2002.  The shares were issued in exchange for advertising, media relations and publicity services provided by the consultants.  The Company incurred approximately $30,000 in third quarter 2002 legal fees relating to the formation of its inactive Dutch subsidiary while travel costs increased by approximately $24,000 over the comparable 2001 period.  The Company approved the accrual of employee and officer bonuses of approximately $54,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002, of which $42,000 was classified as general and administrative expense and the remainder as research and development costs.  These bonuses were approved in order to allow the employees and officers to settle amounts due to Universal Ice Blast for interest on shareholder notes payable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.



Research and development expenses decreased 27% to $67,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $91,000 during the comparable period of 2001. Patent expenses were $25,000 less in the third quarter of 2002 than in the comparable 2001 period.



Selling and marketing expenses increased $29,000 to $37,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $8,000 for the comparable prior year period. The increase in selling and marketing expenses reflects the Companys recent commitment to broadening its marketing focus and is attributable to the hiring of a Vice President of Sales & Marketing in early 2002.



The Companys operating losses increased by $399,000 to $617,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $218,000 for the comparable 2001 period.  The $22,000 decrease in gross profit, the $372,000 increase in general and administrative costs and the $29,000 increase in selling and marketing expenses represent the majority of the increased losses.  Management anticipates incurring additional future operating losses through the remainder of 2002.



During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded interest income in the amount of $19,000 in connection with shareholder notes receivable in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,170,000. The shareholder notes receivable resulted from the Company's issuance of common stock to officers and employees during the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company reported approximately $2,000 in interest income during the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, of which $1,500 related to interest on shareholder notes.



Interest expense increased by $5,000 to $20,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $15,000 for the comparable three months of the prior year. This increase is the result of interest on new long-term debt and notes payable that the Company incurred in late 2001 and in 2002. As a result of the Company's working capital deficit of $888,000, interim financing necessary to settle operating liabilities arising from the assembly and installation of the Ford gear cleaning system as well as to cover other operating expenses is anticipated to be expensive if adequate equity capital cannot be raised. Should the Company be required to finance anticipated future operations with debt as opposed to equity, future interest expense can be expected to increase significantly.



Nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2001



During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, revenues increased by 119% to $478,000 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Sales of machines and accessories during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased to $388,000 from $52,000 during the comparable nine-month period of 2001.  Service and rental income decreased 46% to $90,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $166,000 during the comparable period of 2001. The increase in machine sales is due to the recognition of revenue on the Ford gear cleaning system project.  Machine revenue also includes $9,000 in amortization of deferred gains on sale/leaseback transactions originating in 1999.  In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, orders were received and assembly initiated on two machines for customers other than Ford.  The Company has invoiced customers for approximately $171,000 on these orders but all revenue has been deferred until the machines are complete, shipped and accepted by the customers.  The decrease in service and rental income is attributable to fewer service jobs performed during 2002 as well as the Company's focus on installation and support of the Ford system during 2002 at the expense of potential rental opportunities.

Gross profit decreased to $21,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $93,000 during the comparable period of the prior year. As a percent of sales, gross profit decreased to 4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to 42% during the comparable period of 2001. Gross profits from sales of machines and accessories decreased $8,000 to $22,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the comparable 2001 period. Gross profits in 2002 include the sale of a machine to a customer in Japan offset by a $3,000 loss on the Ford gear cleaning system. Gross profits for the comparable 2001 period relate primarily to the sale of one ice blast machine along with the sale of miscellaneous parts and accessories.  Gross profits from services and rental income decreased to a loss of $1,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to a profit of $63,000 for the comparable period of 2001. The $64,000 decrease in service and rental gross profit is the result of decreased volumes, lower rental and service rates obtained on 2002 work and approximately $58,000 in depreciation expense that the Company incurs regardless of whether or not any sales are made.



For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, general and administrative expense increased 106% to $915,000 from $445,000 during the comparable period of 2001. The Company issued approximately 2.5 million shares and warrants to consultants with a fair value of approximately $298,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  The shares were issued in exchange for advertising, media relations and publicity services provided by the consultants. Payroll costs increased approximately $169,000 due, in part, to the appointment of a Chief Engineer and a Production Engineer, increases in employee benefits and the accrual of employee bonuses.  The Company approved the accrual of employee and officer bonuses of approximately $54,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, of which $42,000 was classified as general and administrative expense and the remainder as research and development costs.  These bonuses were approved in order to allow the employees and officers to settle amounts due to Universal Ice Blast for interest on shareholder notes payable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  Facilities rent increased $12,000 and travel cost increased approximately $38,000, while legal fees increased approximately $39,000 due primarily to the costs associated with the formation of the Companys inactive Dutch subsidiary.



Research and development expenses decreased 15% to $160,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $187,000 during the comparable period of 2001. The $27,000 decrease in research and development expenses is the result of less management and consultant time spent on the Ford project, as well as reduced patent expenses.



Selling and marketing expenses increased $72,000 to $106,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $34,000 for the comparable prior year period.  The increase in selling and marketing expenses reflects the Companys recent commitment to broadening its marketing focus and is attributable to the hiring of a Vice President of Sales & Marketing in early 2002. as well as the additional sales commissions incurred in order to settle a dispute with a former sales representative.



The Companys operating losses increased by $587,000 to $1,160,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $573,000 for the comparable 2001 period The $72,000 decrease in gross profit, the $470,000 increase in general and administrative costs and the $72,000 increase in selling and marketing expenses represent the majority of the increased losses.  Management anticipates incurring additional future operating losses through the remainder of 2002.



During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded interest income in the amount of $57,000 in connection with shareholder notes receivable in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,170,000. The shareholder notes receivable resulted from the Company's issuance of common stock to officers and employees during the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company reported approximately $2,000 in interest income during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, of which $1,500 related to interest on shareholder notes.



Interest expense increased by $29,000 to $63,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $34,000 for the comparable nine months of the prior year. This increase is the result of interest on new long-term debt and notes payable that the Company incurred in late 2001 and in 2002. As a result of the Company's working capital deficit of $888,000, interim financing necessary to settle operating liabilities arising from the assembly and installation of the Ford gear cleaning system as well as to cover other operating expenses is anticipated to be expensive if adequate equity capital cannot be raised. Should the Company be required to finance anticipated future operations with debt as opposed to equity, future interest expense can be expected to increase significantly.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of September 30, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, operating activities used cash of $293,000 as compared to $388,000 during 2001. Cash used by operating activities resulted primarily from the Company's net loss reduced by working capital movements, particularly liquidation of balances related to the Ford contract, as well as depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges,  such as the issuance of stock in exchange for goods and services.  The Company used cash of $600 for capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $23,000 for 2001. The Company has no significant commitments for future purchases of capital assets.



Financing activities provided cash of $243,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $348,000 during 2001. Cash has been provided primarily from sale of Company Common Stock and, during 2002, the issuance of notes payable to lenders. Sales of common stock provided $315,000 and $443,000 during 2002 and 2001, respectively. Proceeds from the issuance of notes payable were $149,000 in the first nine months of 2002 and zero during the comparable 2001 period. Repayments on the notes were $91,000 in 2002. Payments on capital lease obligations used cash of $54,000 and $46,000 during 2002 and 2001. Long-term debt repayments were $27,000 in 2002 as compared to $14,000 in 2001.  The Company borrows and repays, on a revolving basis, cash advances from its two founders and officers. Repayment of such advances totaled $57,000 and $99,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively.



The Company had a working capital deficit of $888,000 and a stockholders deficit of $1,059,000 at September 30, 2002. Management's plans for continued existence include a greater focus towards rental and sale of ice blast machines and less emphasis on service revenues.  The Company is actively pursuing marketing arrangements for their products in the precision, environmental and industrial cleaning markets. These efforts include the arrangement with Ford Motor Company as more fully described in Note 6.



In order to preserve liquidity, the Companys two founders and officers have been paid no cash compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2002.  Instead, during the first three quarters of 2002, as in prior periods, these officers have sold portions of their personal holdings of the Companys common stock.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, such sales collectively totaled 524,000 shares for the two officers.



The Company's future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon obtaining additional financing.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations or through the sale of additional shares of common stock or additional borrowings.  The Company is currently engaged in a number of fund-raising initiatives, including the signing of a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with an investment fund. Subject to certain conditions, the investment fund has agreed to purchase up to $6 million of the Companys common stock.



The current expansion of the Company's business demands that significant financial resources be raised to fund capital expenditures, working capital needs, debt service and the cash flow deficits expected to be generated by operating losses.  Current cash balances and the realization of accounts receivable will not be sufficient to fund the Company's current business plan beyond the next two months.   Consequently, the Company is currently seeking additional equity financing as well as the placement of a credit facility, in the aggregate amount of at least  $250,000, to fund the Company's immediate liquidity needs. Management is currently negotiating with existing shareholders as well as other individuals and organizations in order to obtain the working capital necessary to meet both current and future obligations and commitments. To further supplement these activities, the Company has engaged two investment-banking firms to assist in securing funding, with an objective of raising at least  $2 million.  Management is confident that these efforts will produce financing to further the growth of the Company.  Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on satisfactory terms or at all. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain such additional capital or to obtain it on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts, the impact thereof would have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, operating results and financial condition as well as its ability to service debt requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



As disclosed in an explanatory paragraph in the Report of Independent Accountants on the Company's December 31, 2001 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report, the foregoing liquidity and financial conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
