                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 2001


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

          The condensed interim financial statements included herein have been
               prepared by the Company, without audit, 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 are adequate to make the
               information presented not misleading.

          These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
               recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
               necessary for fair presentation of the information contained
               therein. It is suggested that these condensed financial
               statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
               and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the
               year ended December 31, 2000. The Company follows the same
               accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.

          Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of
               annual results.

2.   COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN:

          As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has
               incurred recurring losses from operations and resulting cash flow
               deficits. It also has current liabilities significantly in excess
               of current assets and a significant deficit in total
               stockholders' equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about
               the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as of March
               31, 2001.

          Management continues to focus on its marketing and sales of water
               testing kits, which represent a relatively new product line.
               Management believes that this new line will help the Company to
               achieve profitability. The Company's ultimate ability to become
               profitable, however, is contingent on its achieving significantly
               higher sales levels. Until that occurs and until the Company
               generates positive cash flow from operations, additional outside
               funding will continue to be required.

          The Company expects to require additional financing to fund its
               operations during fiscal year 2001. In February 2001, the Company
               entered in to an equity financing agreement with a private equity
               investment fund, whereby the Company will receive an initial cash
               infusion in the aggregate of $450,000 in exchange for its
               issuance of convertible debentures and warrants to the investment
               fund. (See Note 3.)

          If, under this new financing agreement and/or subsequent financing
               agreements, the Company cannot meet its cash requirements for the
               coming year, its financial condition and results of operations
               could be materially adversely affected and it may be unable to
               continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not
               include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is
               unable to continue as a going concern.

3.   ADDITIONAL FINANCING - ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS:
          In February 2001, the Company entered into an arrangement with an
               investment group which provides for borrowings of up to $450,000
               under convertible debentures. These debentures, which require the
               payment of interest at 12% per year, will become due in February
               2002. They are secured by substantially all company assets and
               provide for certain restrictions on additional borrowings,
               issuance of equity securities, and payment of dividends on common
               stock. The debentures are convertible into the Company's common
               stock at the lesser of $.278 per share or 50% of market price for
               that stock, as defined.

          As a part of this transaction, the debenture holders will receive
               warrants for purchase of up to 300,000 shares of the Company's
               common stock. These warrants may be exercised at any time within
               three years of their issuance at prices equal to the lesser of
               $.229 per share or 50% of market price, as defined.

          Upon the closing of this arrangement, the investors purchased $225,000
               of debentures and received warrants for 150,000 shares of common
               stock. Based on stock prices prior to the date of this report,
               these debentures could be converted into approximately 960,000
               shares of the Company's common stock. In the cases of both the
               debentures and warrants, investors may acquire shares of the
               Company's common stock at discounts below their market value. Due
               to the preferential conversion feature of the debentures, the
               Company has recorded $225,000 of interest expense and additional
               paid-in capital at the time of their issuance.

          The Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission to register for resale all shares which may
               be issued under the convertible debentures and warrants. When
               such registration statement becomes effective, the investors are
               to purchase the remaining $225,000 of debentures, and they will
               receive the remaining 150,000 warrants. Based on stock prices in
               effect prior to the date of this report, these additional
               debentures could likewise be converted into approximately 960,000
               shares of common stock. The Company will record additional
               interest expense and paid-in capital of approximately $225,000
               upon the sale of these debentures.

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

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Financial Statements and the related notes thereto contained in Item
1.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND MARCH 31, 2001

         Revenues from operations for the first quarter of 2001 decreased 4% to
$373,472 from $388,218 for the first quarter of 2000. The decrease in operating
revenues was primarily the result of a 31% drop in revenues from the sales and
service of water treatment equipment down from $129,418 in the first quarter of
2000 to $89,221 in the first quarter of 2001 offset by a 10% increase in sales
of our PurTest(R) line of products, which grew from $203,045 in the first
quarter of 2000 to $222,425 in the first quarter of 2001 and an 11% increase in
revenues from our water vending and misting operations up from $55,755 in the
first quarter of 2000 to $61,826 in the first quarter of 2000. Sales of our
PurTest(R) products improved principally in response to a telemarketing program
we launched in late 2000 and which succeeded in increasing reorders from chain
stores like Lowes, Ace Hardware and Do-it-Best. Revenues from the sale and
service of water treatment equipment were down chiefly as a result of our
implementation during the quarter of a reorganization and retraining plan in our
water treatment department. This reorganization and retraining plan, which was
implemented to improve the service quality and efficiency of the department, was
completed in the first quarter of 2001 and we expect revenues from the sale and
service of water treatment equipment to improve in the second quarter of 2001.

         Gross margin was 27% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to 25% in
the first quarter of 2000.

         Primarily as a result of an increase in professional fees, primarily
associated with our exploration of additional financing sources (see discussion
below under LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES) which were $139,881 in the first
quarter of 2001, up from $73,625 in the first quarter of 2000, loss from
operations only was $251,476 in the first quarter of 2001 compared to a loss of
$188,253 in the first quarter of 2000. We anticipate incurring a relatively high
level of professional fees associated with our being a public reporting company
and our continued exploration of additional financing sources (see discussion
below under LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES).

         In February 2001 we issued to certain investors $225,000 of convertible
debentures and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common
stock (see discussion below under LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES). Upon the
conversion of the debentures and the exercise of the warrants the investors may
acquire shares of our common stock at a discount below the fair market value of
such shares. Due to the preferential conversion feature of the debentures and
the below fair market value exercise price of the warrants, we have recorded
$225,000 of interest expense and additional paid in capital in the first quarter
of 2001. This debt issuance cost represents the value attributed to the
conversion feature of the debentures and the warrants, and it has been limited
to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the securities. In connection with
the sale of the debentures we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the debentures and exercise of the warrants. Upon
the effectiveness of such registration statement we will issue to the investors
an additional $225,000 of debentures and warrants to purchase an additional
150,000 shares of common stock. When we issue such debentures and warrants,
which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2001, we expect to record
approximately $225,000 of interest expense and additional paid in capital.

                                       11

<PAGE>   12

         Primarily as a result of the $225,000 in interest expense we recorded
in connection with the issuance of debentures as described above and our
incurring substantial professional fees associated with this transaction, net
loss for the first quarter of 2001 was $493,586 compared to a net loss of
$199,214 for the first quarter of 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         We have incurred operating losses each year since our inception.
Throughout that time C. Wilbur Peters, Chairman of our board, or entities
controlled by Mr. Peters, have funded our operations by lending money to us and
by leasing to us equipment used in our business. On July 1, 1999, we established
a line of credit with Mr. Peters in the amount of $750,000 evidenced by a
promissory note bearing interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.50%, due
and payable on June 30, 2001. On February 21, 2001 Mr. Peters executed an
amendment to the promissory note extending its term to February 23, 2003. At
March 31, 2001, the outstanding balance of that note was approximately $758,126.
Under a $400,000 promissory note dated September 1, 1992 issued by us to CTF,
Inc., a non-profit corporation controlled by Mr. Peters, we owed approximately
$406,824 at March 31, 2001. On February 21, 2001 CTF, Inc. executed an amendment
to the promissory note extending its term to February 23, 2003. This note bears
interest at prime plus 2%. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2001 CTF,
Inc. made total demand loans to the Company of $117,748. As of March 31, 2001 we
had repaid all but $20,035 of such demand loans.

         Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 23, 2001
(the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), on such date we received a $225,000
private equity investment from several investment funds through the issuance of
$225,000 aggregate principal amount of 12% Secured Convertible Debentures due
February 23, 2002 (the "Debentures"), which are convertible into shares of our
common stock at a conversion price of the lesser of $.278 and fifty percent of
the average of the lowest three inter-day trading prices for our common stock
during the twenty trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date of
conversion. In connection with the sale of the Debentures we also issued to the
investors three-year warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of
150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $.229
and the average of the lowest three inter-day trading prices for our common
stock during the ten trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date
of exercise.

         In connection with the sale of the Debentures we also entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with the investors (the "Registration Rights
Agreement") pursuant to which we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, upon the declaration
of effectiveness of the registration statement filed on April 6, 2001 pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement and provided certain other customary
closing conditions are satisfied, the investors will be obligated to purchase,
and the Company shall be obligated to sell and issue to the investors,
additional Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $225,000 and
additional Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock,
with the closing of such purchase to occur within ten business days of the
effective date of the registration statement.

         Assuming all $450,000 of the Debentures were fully converted on May 9,
2001 the conversion price would have been $.278 and upon conversion the selling
security holders would have received 1,618,705 (450,000/0.278) shares of common
stock. Assuming that all 300,000 Warrants were fully exercised concurrently with
such conversion the selling security holders would have received 1,918,705

                                       12

<PAGE>   13

shares of common, which following such conversion and exercise would represent
approximately 38% of our total outstanding shares.

         Net cash used by operating activities was $228,207 in the first quarter
of 2001 and $161,065 in the first quarter of 2000. In both such periods cash to
fund such negative cash flows was obtained from the financing arrangements
described above. We do not expect positive cash flows from our operations during
2001 and into 2002. Even if we are successful in continuing to expand our
product distribution, we expect that such expansion will continue to require
additional cash. We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated from
operations, and cash generated from the sale the Debentures described above will
enable us to continue our operations through the summer of 2001. No assurance
can be given, however, that such funds will satisfy our needs for such period or
that, if needed, additional funds will be available. We expect to require
additional financing to fund our operations at some point during the summer of
2001 and, to the extent that the Debentures have not been converted into shares
of our common stock, we will require additional financing to repay the
Debentures when due on February 23, 2002. However, the Securities Purchase
Agreement requires us to obtain the consent of the investors who are party to
that agreement prior to negotiating or contracting with any third party to
obtain additional equity financing or debt financing with an equity component
until 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement that we
filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. We intend to explore
various financing alternatives, including obtaining an equity credit line, the
sale of convertible debt securities and the private placement of our equity
securities. We have not yet received any commitments for additional financing
and there is no assurance we will be able to obtain such financing. If we are
unable to obtain any such additional necessary financing our financial condition
and results of operations could be materially adversely affected and in order to
continue as a going concern we might be required to substantially reduce
expenses by among other things curtailing our efforts to increase sales of our
PurTest(R) and PurGuard(R) product lines.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT AS TO FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

         Statements in this report as to projections of future financial or
economic performance of the Company, and statements of our plans and objectives
for future operations are "forward looking" statements, and are being provided
in reliance upon the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Important factors that could cause actual results
or events to differ materially from those projected, estimated, assumed or
anticipated in any such forward looking statements include: general economic
conditions in our markets including inflation; recession; increased competition
from existing competitors and from any new entrants in our markets; any loss of
key management personnel; changes in governmental regulations applicable to our
business; and the availability of additional funding necessary to support our
operations.

PART II

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         We are not currently party to any material legal proceedings. However,
we are currently and may from time to time in the future become a party to
various legal proceedings incidental to our business.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         On December 1, 2000 we entered into a consulting agreement with The
N.I.R. Group, LLC, a financial advisor, pursuant to which we agreed as partial
consideration for the services to be rendered to us under the agreement to issue
to such firm 52,500 shares of our common stock. Such shares were issued on March
5, 2001. On February 16, 2001 we entered into an agreement with Integrity
Capital, Inc., an investor relations firm, pursuant to which we agreed as
partial consideration for the services to be rendered to us under the agreement
to issue to such firm options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at
an exercise price equal to the average trading price for our common stock during
the ten day period ending on the day the consultant begins providing services to
us under the agreement. We issued these options with a per share exercise price
of $.6125 on February 16, 2001. In March 2001 we entered into an agreement with
Action Stocks Incorporated, an investor relations firm, pursuant to which we
agreed as partial consideration for the services to be rendered to us under the
agreement to issue to such firm 26,190 shares of our common stock. We issued
these shares on April 23, 2001. These securities were issued in reliance upon
the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act provided
for by Section 4(2) thereof for transactions not involving a public offering.
Use of this exemption is based on the following facts:

o    Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf solicited any offer
     to buy or sell the securities by any form of general solicitation or
     advertising.

o    In each case, the purchaser was engaged in the investor relations or
     financial advisory business and was sophisticated with regard to investment
     matters.

o    In its capacity as a consultant to the Company, each purchaser has had
     access to information regarding the Company and is knowledgeable about the
     Company and its business affairs.

o    All shares of our common stock issued or to be issued to the purchasers
     were or will be issued with a restrictive legend and may only be disposed
     of pursuant to an effective registration or exemption from registration in
     compliance with federal and state securities laws.

         On February 23, 2001, we issued 12% secured convertible debentures due
February 23, 2002 in the aggregate principal amount of $225,000 to AJW Partners,
LLC, New Millenium Capital Partners II, LLC and Equilibrium Equity, LLC, which
are convertible into shares of our common stock. In connection with the sale of
the debentures we also issued to these investors three-year warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock. In connection with the sale of
the debentures we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with these
investors pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement for

the selling security holders will purchase additional debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $225,000 and additional warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock. These securities were issued in
reliance upon the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities
Act provided for by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder for
transactions not involving a public offering. Use of this exemption is based on
the following facts:

o    Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf solicited any offer
     to buy or sell the securities by any form of general solicitation or
     advertising.

o    At the time of purchase, each purchaser was an accredited investor, as
     defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

o    Each purchaser represented that it was acquiring the securities as a
     principal for its own account for investment purposes only and without a
     view towards distribution or reselling these securities unless pursuant to
     an effective registration statement or exemption from registration in
     compliance with federal and state securities laws.

o    The securities were issued with a restrictive legend and may only be
     disposed of pursuant to an effective registration or exemption from
     registration in compliance with federal and state securities laws.

o    In accordance with Rule 506 the Company filed a Form D with the SEC
     within 15 days following the sale of the debentures to the selling
     security holders.
