                                     PART 1

ITEM  1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

        GreenMan   Technologies,   Inc.  (the  "Company"  or   "GreenMan")   was
incorporated  under the laws of the State of Arkansas on September  16, 1992 and
reincorporated  under  the laws of the  State  Delaware  on June 27,  1995.  The
Company was formed primarily to develop,  manufacture and sell  "environmentally
friendly" plastic and thermoplastic rubber feedstocks, rubber parts and products
that are manufactured using recycled  materials and/or are themselves  partially
or wholly recyclable.

MOLDING OPERATIONS

        The Company's  Molding operations (the "Molding  operation"), located in
Malvern, Arkansas, provides injection molding manufacturing services to customer
specifications in the production of plastic and  thermoplastic  rubber parts for
such  products  as stereo  components  and  speakers,  water  filters and pumps,
plumbing  components  and  automotive  accessories.  The Molding  operation uses
leased,  state-of-the-art,  injection molding equipment that is energy and labor
efficient,  has fast cycle times and minimizes  production  waste.  The facility
also  conducts  R&D  testing  and   development  of  the  Company's  proprietary
thermoplastic  material,  GEM- (GreenMan Environmental Materials) Stock(TM), and
tests the use of these  materials in the  manufacture  of a variety of potential
applications.

        In May 1997, the Company's  Molding  operation began  manufacturing  the
Company's  first consumer  product,  a 34 gallon GEM- Stock(TM)  trash container
which is being  marketed  under the GreenMan  name  ("captive  molding").  Other
proposed products, to be manufactured and sold under the GreenMan name will also
be produced in the future at the Molding operation,  which management expects to
result in balanced contract/custom and captive molding activities.

RECYCLING OPERATIONS

        The Company's Recycling operations (the "Recycling  operation"), located
in Jackson,  Georgia, were established to develop low-cost sources of rubber and
plastic waste ( from tires and recycled  plastics) for use in the  production of
the Company's  GEM-Stock and for the development of markets for  end-products to
be made utilizing GEM-Stock.

        The Company has targeted  several  markets with  products  incorporating
significant  amounts of recovered crumb rubber and plastic waste,  including the
building industry (with anti-fatigue floor mats, roofing products, and timbers);
the lawn and garden  market (with  landscape  timbers);  the  consumer  products
market (with trash containers, recycling totes, and storage containers); and the
transportation  industry (with rubber modified  asphalt,  nose cones,  barriers,
railroad ties and railway crossing mats).

        On June 30, 1997,  the Company  acquired all of the capital stock of BFI
Tire  Recyclers of Minnesota,  Inc.  ("BTM") and BFI Tire  Recyclers of Georgia,
Inc. ("BTG"),  both of which were  wholly-owned  subsidiaries of Browning Ferris
Industries,  Inc.  ("BFI") and are in the scrap tire  collection  and processing
business.  Collectively,  the two operations  process  approximately  10 million
tires  annually.  The Company was also granted an  exclusive  option to purchase
certain  assets  (including  certain  contract  rights) of BFI's  Ford  Heights,
Illinois tire recycling  operation  which has the capacity to process between 12
and 15 million tires annually.  Prior to the acquisition,  the Company purchased
tire chips from BTG pursuant to a Put or Pay/Take or Pay Agreement (the "Take or
Pay  Agreement")  and leased land in Jackson,  GA. BTM and BTG have been renamed
GreenMan  Technologies of Minnesota,  Inc. ("GMTM") and GreenMan Technologies of
Georgia, Inc., ("GMTG") respectively,  and together, with the Company's existing
Rubber  Recycling  group  will  now  constitute  the  Company's  Tire  Recycling
operations. As a result of the acquisition,  the Company's obligations under the
Take-or-Pay Agreement were eliminated.

DURAWEAR

        On October 10, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  common
stock of DuraWear Corporation ("DuraWear").  DuraWear was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Delaware on September 5, 1972 and was reincorporated  under
the laws of the State of Alabama on December 7, 1990. DuraWear, which is located
in Birmingham,  Alabama,  manufactures,  installs and markets a diverse range of
high-quality,  ceramic,  polymer composite, and alloy steel materials engineered
to resist severely abrasive and corrosive  conditions  typically  encountered in
bulk-material  handling  systems in such  industries as paper and pulp,  mining,
coal handling and grain storage and transportation.


PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

MOLDING OPERATION




                                                                               3


        The Company's  Molding  operation was established  primarily to develop,
manufacture and sell "environmentally friendly" plastic and thermoplastic rubber
feedstocks,  rubber  parts and products  that are  manufactured  using  recycled
materials  and/or are  themselves  partially or wholly  recyclable.  In order to
offset  expenses  associated  with  capital  leases for the  required  injection
molding  equipment,  the Company accepts  third-party,  contract molding jobs in
order  to keep the  resident  equipment  productive.  Accordingly,  the  Molding
operation  has,  since  its  inception,  provided  customers  with  a  reliable,
cost-effective,   high-quality   source  for  the  manufacture  of  plastic  and
thermoplastic rubber parts. Traditional contract manufacturing is widely used in
the plastic and thermoplastic rubber industries as a cost-effective  alternative
to in-house manufacturing.  Generally, the customer owns design molds for use in
the  manufacture  of its  products  or parts and  provides  the molds to outside
injection molding companies, such as the Company.

        The  Company  combines  leased,   state-of-the-art,   injection  molding
equipment;   comprehensive   quality  and  production   control   systems;   and
consultation  on mold design to improve labor costs and assembly  times,  reduce
waste and improve  end-product  quality.  The Company has also assisted  certain
customers in converting their product content from virgin materials to (in whole
or in part) recycled feedstock.

        Initiated as an adjunct to its  injection  molding  operations,  product
assembly  services are also offered by the  Molding  operation.  Components  are
produced  by,  and/or  delivered  to, the Molding  operation  by  customers  and
assembled to the required stage of completion.


RECYCLING OPERATION


        The  Recycling   operation  was   established  to  identify   processing
techniques and alternative lower-cost sources of supply of rubber/used tires and
plastic  waste for  recycling,  as well as to identify  rubber and plastic based
end-products for which there is significant market demand.

        The Company has  developed and is  gradually  commercializing  GEM-Stock
using crumb rubber recovered from automobile and truck tires in combination with
recycled  plastic waste and virgin plastic.  In April 1996, the Company signed a
perpetual  license agreement with a privately held R&D company for the exclusive
world-wide  rights and license to use its  proprietary  additive  technology for
co-mingling (mixing or blending) of dissimilar plastics and rubber. This license
agreement  provides  the Company with the ability to  incorporate  significantly
more types of  low-cost  recycled  plastic  and rubber  into the  production  of
GEM-Stock than it could do in the past. As currently manufactured, products made
using  GEM-Stock  have  properties  that are  comparable to those  products made
incorporating  virgin rubber or plastic,  at a  significant  cost savings to the
Company.  The Company  believes that GEM-Stock is suitable as a raw material for
use in the  manufacture  of many of the types of  commercial  parts and products
currently manufactured by the Molding operation. To date, revenues from products
made using GEM-Stock have accounted for less than 10% of the Company's revenues,
and,  as  yet,  there  can be no  assurance  that  the  Company  will be able to
manufacture  GEM-Stock in quantities  necessary to achieve significant  revenues
and profits.

        The Company is currently  using  GEM-Stock in the  manufacture of its 34
gallon trash  container and intends to use GEM-Stock as the primary raw material
in the Company's proposed line of environmentally-friendly,  or "green" consumer
products,  such as  recycling  totes,  playground  and  recreational  furniture,
landscape  timbers,  storage  bins,  and  home-use  composters.  The  Company is
evaluating the economic,  marketing and manufacturing  feasibility of several of
these proposed products and has conducted preliminary  discussions with possible
distributors of such products.  There can be no assurance that such  discussions
will result in orders for the products,  consumer  acceptance of the products or
significant  revenues for the Company.  Management  believes  that the Company's
internal needs for GEM-Stock will allow the  Company to use the raw materials in
the manufacture of its GreenMan products.

        The  Company  has  conducted  extensive  market  research  over the past
several years and has concluded that significant market  opportunities exist for
crumb rubber to be used as chemical feedstocks or for incorporation in parts and
products.  Crumb  rubber can be produced  either  through the use of  mechanical
grinding  methods  ("ambiently")  or  through  the use of  cryogenic  (freezing)
methods  ("cryogenically")  using a feedstock  of tire chips.  GEM-Stock  is one
application  whereby crumb rubber and recycled plastics are combined and used as
a raw material  feedstock in place of more expensive virgin materials.  There is
also research being  conducted in the areas of rubber  modified  asphalt and the
re-incorporation  of crumb rubber into the  manufacture  of new  automobile  and
truck  tires.  The  Company  believes  that the  largest  areas of growth are in
applications  where  ultra-fine  mesh  crumb  rubber  is used in place of virgin
rubber to enhance the characteristics of existing product formulations,  thereby
commanding  premium pricing.  As a result, a decision has been made to focus the
Company's   resources  on  addressing  these  "high  value-added"  crumb  rubber
opportunities. This redirection in strategic market targeting along with certain
limitations of the Company's existing cryogenic  recycling  equipment to produce
sufficient quantities of ultra-fine mesh crumb rubber;  resulted in, the Company
redeploying its cryogenic recycling


                                                                               4


equipment  into a joint venture with the original  equipment  manufacturer  (See
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT).  The joint venture will address existing opportunities for
larger mesh crumb rubber such as in rubber mats, ground cover and as a filler in
asphalt  applications.  The Company is currently  evaluating several alternative
solutions for producing  ultra-fine mesh crumb rubber and is  supplementing  its
needs through informal market and distribution alliances with other companies.

        On June 30, 1997,  the Company  acquired BTM and BTG, which provides the
Company  with  access to over 10 million  tires  annually.  The Company was also
granted an  exclusive  option to  purchase  certain  assets  (including  certain
contract rights) of BFI's Ford Heights,  Illinois tire recycling operation which
has the capacity to process  between 12 and 15 million tires  annually.  BTM and
BTG are in the scrap tire collection and processing business whereby they charge
a fee to dispose of  customers'  scrap tires and then process the tires into two
inch rubber chips which are then sold as alternative  fuel ("TDF" - Tire Derived
Fuel) to cement  kilns,  paper and pulp  producers  and electric  utilities;  or
utilized in civil engineering projects such as landfill construction  (leach-bed
lining),  soil erosion and road stabilization  projects.  The Company intends to
utilize a portion of the rubber chip flow for the  production of ultra fine mesh
crumb rubber.

DURAWEAR

        DuraWear  manufactures and markets ceramic,  polymer composite and alloy
steel  materials,   specifically   engineered  to  resist  the  highly  abrasive
conditions  typically  encountered in bulk material handling  systems.  DuraWear
sells  its  products   primarily  to  industries  where  the  process  equipment
experiences  significant  wear as a result of material  movement over  equipment
surfaces   ("abrasion-wear")   or   material   impact  on   equipment   surfaces
("impact-wear").  Such  industries  include  paper  and  pulp,  mining,  mineral
processing,  coal  handling,  grain  storage  and  transportation,   cement  and
fertilizers.


        Ceramics.  DuraWear produces CeraDur(R),  a  pale-green-colored  ceramic
plate made of approximately 96% alumina,  less than 2% silica and a small amount
of nickel, which are combined and fired at very high temperatures,  resulting in
high-density and  very-low-porosity  products.  These properties make CeraDur(R)
one of the most  abrasion-resistant  ceramic plates  commercially  available for
application in highly abrasive conditions.  CeraDur(R) is rated 9 on Moh's scale
(an engineering scale which compares  material  hardness) and second in hardness
only to  diamond,  which  is rated  10.  Other  commercially-available  products
generally  contain  less than 96% alumina  and are fired at lower  temperatures,
resulting  in a less-dense  product  with 25% to 50% less wear life  compared to
CeraDur(R).

        The  Company  also   manufactures   another   ceramic   product   called
Aluminox(R),  which  contains  approximately  90% alumina and a small  amount of
nickel.  Aluminox(R) is designed to provide less abrasion resistance as compared
to CeraDur(R)  for markets and  applications  where a lower-cost  alternative is
required.

        Polymer  Composites.  DuraWear  distributes  two polymer  composites for
abrasion-wear   applications.    Xylethon(R)   has   a   high-molecular   weight
cellular-chain  structure which makes it a highly-dense,  plastic material. This
alloyed matrix structure provides superior  adhesion-resistance  and dimensional
stability  when  compared  to  polyvinyl  chloride  ("PVC"),   polyurethane  and
ultra-high-molecular-weight    ("U.H.M.W.")    polyethylene.    Xylethon(R)   is
lightweight  compared to  abrasion-resistant  steel plates,  which are generally
nine times heavier, and is less susceptible than steel to the distortions caused
by thermal cycles.


        Trowellable  Coatings.  In areas where  pre-engineered  shapes cannot be
installed, trowellable cements and mortars are applied to provide wear resistant
linings.  The two basic types of coatings  are ceramic  based epoxy  mortars and
metal based epoxy mortars.  Ceramic  mortars  consist of micromesh  particles of
alpha alumina in an epoxy matrix.  Metal-based  mortars contain metal powders in
an epoxy  matrix.  The coatings  have been  specifically  formulated  for strong
adherence to a great variety of substrates. The linings are used for vertical or
horizontal surfaces including walls, floors, and roofing.

MANUFACTURING

 MOLDING OPERATION

        The Company conducts all its injection  molding and assembly  operations
at its leased 45,000 sq. ft. facility located in Malvern,  Arkansas. The Molding
operation  uses leased  state-of-the-art  injection  molding  equipment  that is
energy and labor  efficient;  has fast cycle  times;  and  minimizes  production
waste.


        The Company  may need to expand its  existing  manufacturing  operations
through strategically-located  satellite operations, to support future expansion
of existing manufacturing  capabilities.  Such expansion may include compression
molding,  (for consumer and  industrial  floor mats) and extrusion  capabilities
(for the manufacture of



                                                                               5



landscape timbers,  and other outdoor products).  There can be no assurance that
the additional  customers,  if any,  gained by  establishing  new  manufacturing
facilities will justify the expense of constructing, staffing and operating such
facilities or that the Company will not experience  difficulties  in supervising
and coordinating the activities of separate locations.


RECYCLING OPERATION

        The  Recycling  operation's  crumb rubber  plant in Jackson,  Georgia is
located in a 15,000 sq. ft.  building that was built by the Company on land that
it leased from BTG under a multi-year  agreement.  This agreement was terminated
as a result of the acquisition of BTG on June 30, 1997.


        During  the  first  half  of  fiscal  1997,  the  Company  retained  the
production  process of the  Cryogenic  Recycling  equipment  and  evaluated  the
production  capabilities  of the facility.  Based upon the  cryogenic  recycling
equipments capacity to produce sufficient  quantities of fine mesh crumb rubber,
the Company  decided to redeploy  the  equipment  into a joint  venture with the
original equipment  manufacturer.  (SEE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT).  The joint venture
will  address  existing  opportunities  for larger mesh crumb  rubber such as in
rubber mats, ground cover and as a filler in asphalt  applications.  The Company
is currently  evaluating several alternative  solutions for producing ultra-fine
mesh crumb rubber and is  supplementing  its needs through  informal  market and
distribution alliances with other companies.


DURAWEAR


        DuraWear  manufactures  its ceramic  products at its facility located on
five acres of land in Birmingham,  Alabama.  DuraWear's  polymer  composites and
other products are manufactured by third parties on a contract-basis. DuraWear's
polymer composites are currently produced to DuraWear's  specifications  under a
confidentiality  agreement  by only one  supplier;  the  number  of  alternative
suppliers is limited.  Management has identified several  alternative  suppliers
for DuraWear's  polymer composites in the event there are any adverse changes in
its existing  relationship.  With the exception of its polymer  composites,  the
Company  believes that there are multiple  manufacturing  sources  available for
DuraWear's other products.  While DuraWear has long-standing  relationships with
its current suppliers, such facilities are not controlled by DuraWear, and these
suppliers could sever their relationships with DuraWear at any time. As such, it
could be difficult for DuraWear to find other  suppliers that could  manufacture
DuraWear's  products to the  specifications  required by DuraWear on  acceptable
terms.


RAW MATERIALS

MOLDING OPERATION


        Raw materials required for the Molding operation are generally purchased
directly from suppliers on a purchase-order  basis rather than a contract basis.
The Molding operation purchases such materials on an "as and when needed" basis,
primarily from five suppliers. There can be no assurance,  absent contracts with
firm price and delivery  terms,  that  suppliers will not increase their prices,
change  their  credit  terms or  impose  other  conditions  of sale  that may be
unfavorable  to the  Company.  While the Company  does not believe that it would
experience any significant  difficulty in obtaining  materials from  alternative
sources on comparable terms,  there can be no assurance that such supplies could
be obtained on price and delivery  terms  favorable  to the Company.  Until such
time,  if ever,  that the  Company  begins to produce  GEM-Stock  in  sufficient
quantities for its own use on a cost-efficient basis, it is and will be required
to purchase  crumb rubber and recycled and virgin  plastic from third parties in
order to produce its proposed GreenMan consumer  products.  Management  believes
that there are  currently a limited  number of supplies  of  high-quality  crumb
rubber that is free of fiber and metal.


RECYCLING OPERATION


        The Company  believes that as a result of its acquisition of BTM and BTG
and the Company's exclusive option to purchase certain assets (including certain
contract rights) of BFI's Ford Heights,  Illinois tire recycling operation,  the
Company will have access to a supply of tires  sufficient  to meet the Company's
requirements  for crumb rubber in the foreseeable  future.  The three operations
collectively are capable of processing between 22 and 25 million tires annually.
According to Scrap Tire News, nearly 255 million passenger  automobile tires are
currently discarded annually in the U.S., and of that total approximately 1% are
used for asphalt  pavement,  11% are burned to provide energy,  approximately 2%
are processed for retreading;  and the remaining  tires are  landfilled,  adding
more than 200 million  tires  annually to the  estimated 3 billion tires already
stockpiled in landfills.  Accordingly, the Company estimates that as a result of
the  acquisition  of  BTM  and  BTG it  will  process  approximately  20% of all
passenger tires



                                                                               6



in the U.S. that are not placed in landfills,  with the ability to increase that
percentage  to between  40 - 45% with the  exercise  of its  option to  purchase
purchase  certain  assets  (including  certain  contract  rights)  of BFI's Ford
Heights, Illinois tire recycling operation.


DURAWEAR


        DuraWear  obtains on a purchase order (rather than a contract basis) its
primary raw materials, consisting of alumina and nickel oxides, from a number of
sources.  The price and other  terms  upon  which such  materials  are  obtained
therefore  are also  subject  to change  over  which  DuraWear  has no  control.
Management  believes that alternate  sources of such raw materials are available
on an  economically-competitive  basis,  but there can be no assurance that this
would be the case at a time when such sources might be needed by the Company.


PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

        In April 1996, the Company signed a perpetual  license  agreement with a
privately held R&D company for the exclusive,  world-wide  rights and license to
use a proprietary  additive  technology for co-mingling  (mixing or blending) of
dissimilar  plastics and rubber types. The Company paid a one-time licensing fee
at signing of the agreement and no additional  fees are due for the  manufacture
of the Company's own products  (i.e.  GEM-Stock  products).  In May,  1997,  the
Company  commenced  production on a limited basis,  of its first GEM-Stock based
product,  a 34 gallon  trash  container.  A 3% royalty is due when the  additive
technology is sold as raw material. This license agreement allows the Company to
incorporate a broader range of low-cost,  recycled plastic and rubber types into
the  production of  GEM-Stock.  As currently  manufactured,  products made using
GEM-Stock have properties that are comparable to products using virgin rubber or
plastic at a significant cost savings to the Company.


        In addition to its efforts  relating to the  conversion  of crumb rubber
and the  production of GEM-Stock,  the Company  intends to develop new products,
which may involve entering into joint ventures or other strategic alliances. The
Company has not to-date  entered  into any such  relationships  other than noted
above,  with respect to new products,  nor can there be any such  assurance that
the Company will be successful in entering into such relationships,  nor that it
will be able to develop new products  which result in revenues or profits to the
Company.

        On August 26, 1997,  the Company  executed an agreement  relating to the
formation of a joint venture (the "GMT/CRT joint  venture")  between the Company
and Crumb Rubber Technologies,  Inc. of Jamaica, New York ("CRT") to collect and
process  tires in the State of New York and to market the crumb  rubber  derived
from the tires.  The joint venture will do business as "Tire Disposal  Services,
Inc." , and will address  existing  opportunities  for larger-mesh  crumb rubber
such as in rubber mats,  ground  cover and as a filler in asphalt  applications.
The  Company will  contribute  the cryogenic crumb rubber  equipment  previously
purchased from CRT and formerly located in Jackson,  Georgia into the venture as
its  capital  contribution  while  CRT  will  contribute  on  its  part  certain
facilities,  equipment,  customer  contracts,  licenses  and permits and provide
operational and technical expertise.


CUSTOMERS

MOLDING OPERATION

        In the  fiscal  year  ended  May 31,  1995,  three  customers,  (Jacuzzi
Brothers Division, Little Rock, ("Jacuzzi"), Stant Manufacturing, Inc. ("Stant")
and R.G.  Sloane & Co.  Inc.,)  accounted  for  approximately  62%, 14%, and 10%
respectively,  of the Company's net sales;  and in the fiscal year ended May 31,
1996, two customers,  (Jacuzzi and Stant) accounted for  approximately  38%, and
14%,  respectively,  of net sales.  In the fiscal year ended May 31,  1997,  one
customer,  Jacuzzi accounted for approximately 29% of the Company's consolidated
net sales.  Currently,  the Molding  operation  serves  customers in a number of
industries such as: Jacuzzi -- water filters and pumps;  Klipsch & Associates --
stereo components and speakers;  Sterling Plumbing,  Inc. - plumbing components,
Stant -- automotive gas caps and R. G. Sloane & Co., Inc. -- plumbing products.

RECYCLING OPERATION

        There were no customers  which accounted for 10% or more of consolidated
net sales during the fiscal years ended 1996 and 1997.

DURAWEAR

        DuraWear did not have any customers  which  accounted for 10% or more of
consolidated  net sales during the fiscal years ended 1996 and 1997.  DuraWear's
customers  include Georgia Pacific,  Boise Cascade,  Container Corp. of America,
Champion  International,  Longview Fiber  Company, Union Camp, and various power
utilities an paper processors throughout the U.S.



                                                                               7



        The Company does not have any long-term  contracts pursuant to which any
customer is required to purchase any minimum amount of products. There can be no
assurance that the Company will continue to receive orders of the same magnitude
as in the past from  existing  customers  or that it will be able to market  its
current or proposed  products to new  customers.  The loss of any major customer
would have a material, adverse effect on the business of the Company as a whole.


SALES AND MARKETING


        The  Company  utilizes  outside   manufacturer's   sales  representative
organizations,  in addition to its on-going, in-house sales activities. DuraWear
has  in  place  a  network  of  sales  representatives  for  both  domestic  and
international  sales,  which may be used by the Company in  connection  with the
sale of its products.

        As the Company seeks to increase its  manufacturing  of crumb rubber and
GEM-Stock in commercial  quantities at an acceptable cost, of which there can be
no assurance,  a significant portion of the Company's production will be devoted
for internal use in the  manufacture of its 34 gallon trash  container and other
proposed  GreenMan  consumer  products.  Any  excess  material  will  likely  be
compounded  (mixed)  on a  contract  basis and  offered  for sale on a  merchant
chemical basis through such compounder's  traditional sales channels, as well as
directly by the Company.

        The Company's  proposed  consumer products will be sold through Big East
Sales  and  Marketing,  Framingham,  Massachusetts  -- a firm  with  a  national
presence in the wholesale and retail consumer markets through a nationwide sales
representative  network,  and which has more than  25-years  experience  selling
directly  to major  discount  department  store  chains;  builders'  supply  and
hardware store chains;  and lawn and garden stores. Big East Sales and Marketing
has  established  a separate  operating  unit  called  Big East  Green  which is
dedicated    to    marketing,    selling    and    promoting    the    Company's
environmentally-friendly GEM-Stock consumer products.


        DuraWear  markets its products  primarily to the process  industry where
material  movement  typically  causes abrasion  resulting in wear of the process
equipment.  Applications  for DuraWear's  products span many  industries such as
paper and pulp, mining,  mineral  processing,  coal handling,  grain storage and
transportation, cement and fertilizers.

COMPETITION

MOLDING OPERATION


        The   injection    molding    contract    manufacturing    industry   is
highly-competitive  and characterized by severe  price-cutting by small regional
contractors.  While the Company believes that its facility, modern equipment and
advanced quality control are attractive features to potential  customers,  there
can be no assurance that the Company can capture adequate competitive  contracts
to achieve or sustain  profitability,  either at its present  location or at any
satellite location it seeks to establish.

        In marketing its proposed GreenMan consumer  products,  the Company will
be competing with many established  manufacturers of similar  products.  Most of
these competitors have substantially  greater financial and marketing  resources
and significantly  greater  name-recognition  among both retailers and consumers
than the Company.  A number of companies  with products made from recycled tires
have already entered the market. For example,  OMNI Rubber Products manufactures
solid-rubber, non-steel reinforced railroad crossings from recycled crumb rubber
and R.A.S.  Recycling,  Inc.,  together  with Royal  Rubber  Manufacturing,  are
developing  playground  and  recreational  surfacing  mats made of recycled tire
rubber.  In addition,  several  companies  manufacture  products  similar to the
Company's  proposed  GreenMan line of products,  such as industrial  floor mats,
playground furniture,  and landscape timbers. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully in the consumer market.

        In the manufacture  and sale of its GEM-Stock,  the Company will compete
with other  producers and  suppliers of  traditional  plastic and  thermoplastic
rubber products,  including recycled and virgin products.  The Company's success
in  marketing  its  products  will depend on its  ability to convince  potential
buyers that its products are of  comparable or superior  quality to  alternative
products  and  that  its  products  are  also  comparable  in cost to  competing
products.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be able to compete
effectively with established producers, many of which have substantially greater
financial and manufacturing resources than those of the Company.


RECYCLING OPERATION


        Historically,  companies in the tire processing  industry have generated
significant  quantities  of  tire  derived  fuel  ("TDF")  chips  to be  sold as
alternative fuel to cement kilns, paper and pulp producers or electric utilities
or



                                                                               8



utilized in civil  engineering  projects such as landfill  construction  or road
stabilization projects.  There are several tire recycling companies that produce
crumb rubber in limited  quantities and at varying levels of quality.  There are
also  several  companies  that  simply  process  tires  into TDF to be burned as
supplemental fuel or break down the tire material into its elemental  components
("Pyrolysis")  and sell the components  individually.  Few, if any companies are
vertically  integrated  with  operations that include tire collection -- through
end  product  manufacture.   The  Company  believes  that  the  limited  success
experienced by these companies is due to industry disaggregation among small and
under-capitalized companies and the limited success in identifying and producing
end-user products that incorporate recycled materials. The Company has developed
a strategy for recycling tire and plastic waste which involves  complete "closed
loop"  recycling from waste pile to end product.  GEM-Stock is one example where
crumb  rubber  and  recycled  plastics  are  combined  and used as raw  material
feedstock in place of virgin materials. There is also significant research being
conducted in the areas of rubber modified  asphalt and the  re-incorporation  of
crumb rubber into automobile and truck tires.

        As a result of the  Company's  acquisition  of BTM and BTG in June 1997,
and its exclusive option to purchase certain assets (including  certain contract
rights) of BFI's Ford Heights,  Illinois tire recycling  operation,  the Company
has positioned  itself as a leader in tire recycling  operations.  Collectively,
the Company's  current  operations  process  approximately  20% of all passenger
tires in the U.S. that are not placed in landfills  with the ability to increase
that  percentage  to between 40% and 45% with the  exercise of the Ford  Heights
option.


DURAWEAR

        DuraWear has several  competitors  for  its products,  most of whom have
greater financial and marketing resources than DuraWear. In the ceramics market,
competitors include Coors Ceramics Co., Champion and Packo Industrial  Ceramics,
Inc. and in the polymer composite market include Solidur Plastics, DuPont and BP
America.

        DuraWear  competes on the basis of the  longer-lasting  wear  resistance
performance  of its  products as compared  to products  offered by  competitors.
Management  believes that on a life cycle costing basis DuraWear  products offer
customers  significant cost  advantages,  notwithstanding  DuraWear's  products'
higher prices.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION


        The Company's tire recycling and manufacturing activities may be subject
to  extensive  and  rigorous  government  regulation  designed  to  protect  the
environment  (as is the  case  with  other  tire  recycling  processes  such  as
pyrolysis). Management does not expect that the Company's activities will result
in the emission of air pollutants,  the disposal of combustion residues,  or the
storage of hazardous  substances.  The establishment and operation of plants for
tire recycling, however, are subject to obtaining numerous permits and complying
with environmental and other government  regulations,  both in the U.S. and most
foreign countries. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals can be
lengthy and expensive.  Moreover,  regulatory approvals, if granted, may include
significant  limitations  on the Company's  operations.  The EPA and  comparable
state and local regulatory agencies actively enforce  environmental  regulations
and  conduct  periodic  inspections  to  determine  compliance  with  government
regulations.  Failure to comply  with  applicable  regulatory  requirements  can
result in, among other  things,  fines,  suspensions  of  approvals,  seizure or
recall  of  products,   operating   restrictions,   and  criminal  prosecutions.
Furthermore,  changes in existing  regulations  or  adoption of new  regulations
could impose costly new procedures for  compliance,  or prevent the Company from
obtaining, or affect the timing of, regulatory approvals.


        The effect of government  regulation  may be to delay for a considerable
period of time or to prevent the Company from developing its business as planned
and/or impose costly requirements on the Company,  the result of which may be to
furnish an advantage to its  competitors or to make the Company's  business less
profitable, or unprofitable, to operate.

PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS


        None  of the  equipment  or  machinery  that  the  Company  or  DuraWear
currently  uses  or  intends  to use  in  its  respective  current  or  proposed
manufacturing activities are proprietary;  any competitor can acquire equivalent
equipment  and  machinery on the open market.  The Company  believes that it has
developed specialized know-how in the blending of plastics and rubber for use in
its molding  machines and that its  processes are  proprietary.  The Company has
acquired  exclusive,  perpetual,  world-wide  rights to a  proprietary  additive
technology  which will enable the Company to blend a broader range of virgin and
recycled plastics together,  and/or combine such plastics with crumb rubber from
recycled  tires.  The  Company  also  believes  that  many of the  formulae  and
processes  used  in  manufacturing  DuraWear's  products  are  proprietary,  and
DuraWear has executed confidentiality  agreements with the appropriate employees
and subcontractors. However, there can be no assurance that competitors will not
develop  processes or products of comparable  efficiency  and quality.  DuraWear
does  not  have  any  patents  and does  not  believe  any of its  products  are
patentable.  Moreover,  there can be no  assurance  that any patents that may be



                                                                               9


granted in the future will be enforceable or provide the Company with meaningful
protection from  competitors.  Even if a competitor's  products were to infringe
patents owned by the Company, it could be very costly for the Company to enforce
its rights in an infringement  action, and such an action would divert funds and
resources otherwise available for use in the Company's operations. Consequently,
there can be no assurance  that the Company  would elect to prosecute  potential
patent infringement claims it might have. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that the Company's  proposed products will not infringe any patents or rights of
others.

        The  Company  has used the name  "GreenMan"  and  other  trade  names in
interstate  commerce  and  asserts a common  law right in and to such  names.  A
trademark  search has been  conducted for the name  "GreenMan"  which found that
there are no  significantly  similar names currently being used in the Company's
current and intended industries. The Company intends to file an application with
the U.S.  Department of Commerce,  Patent and  Trademark  Office to register its
name and establish trademark rights.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that
such a trademark  application  will be  approved.  Although the Company has been
using the GreenMan name in interstate  commerce for its custom molding  services
and has not yet begun  significant  marketing  for its  consumer  products,  the
inability  of the Company to continue  to use the name in  connection  with such
services, as well as in connection with the proposed GreenMan consumer products,
could  have an  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  efforts  to  establish  name
recognition for its products in the commercial and consumer marketplaces.


        DuraWear  has  registered  trademarks  for a  number  of  its  products,
including  CeraDur and Xylethon and has used the name  "ExcelloSlide"  and other
trade names in interstate commerce and asserts a common law right in and to such
names.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that such right would sufficiently
protect the  Company's  right to use such names or that, if and when the Company
files trademark  applications for such names,  that such  applications  would be
approved.

EMPLOYEES


        As of May 31, 1997, the Company had approximately 98 employees including
20 employees at DuraWear.  With the acquisition of BTM and BTG, the total number
of employees as of June 30, 1997 was 150.


        Neither  the  Company  nor  DuraWear  are  a  party  to  any  collective
bargaining  agreements,  and they each  consider  the  relationship  with  their
employees to be satisfactory.

ITEM 2.        DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

        The Molding operation  currently  occupies  approximately  45,000 square
feet of combined  industrial/manufacturing space in Malvern, Arkansas, including
2,000 square feet of office space under a lease at a monthly rent of $5,325 with
an unaffiliated  third party.  The lease expired on May 31, 1997 and the Company
is in the process of re-negotiating the lease and is currently a tenant at will.


        The  Company  currently  occupies  approximately  2,700  square  feet of
administrative  office space, located in Lynnfield,  Massachusetts under a three
year lease at a monthly rental of $3,238 which expires in October 1998.


        In December 1995, the Company  entered into a five year lease  agreement
with BTG whereby the Company would lease for $1 per year,  approximately  15,000
square  feet of land  located in Jackson,  Georgia on which the Company  built a
tire recycling facility. As a result of the acquisition of BTG on June 30, 1997,
the Company now owns such facility.

        DuraWear  owns  two  industrial  buildings  and an  office  building  in
Birmingham,  Alabama,  located  on five  acres  of  land  zoned  for  industrial
expansion.  Both industrial buildings are suitable for  manufacturing/production
operations.  DuraWear currently utilizes 75% of the available space, with excess
capacity to handle  approximately  three times their current  production volume.
There is readily available space for possible expansion if needed.

        Management  believes that the Company's existing facilities are adequate
for its current needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        In October  1994,  the Company  was sued in Robert H. Jones v.  GreenMan
Technologies,  Inc. in the 15th Judicial District Court in Lafayette, Louisiana,
by a former consultant who seeks, among other things, unpaid consulting fees, as
well as  licensing  fees/royalties  relating to the  Company's  alleged use of a
cryogenic  process  for  recovering  crumb  rubber  that Mr.  Jones  alleges  he
developed.  The Company has retained  Louisiana  counsel and is contesting  this
lawsuit  vigorously. 

        Discovery  has  been  conducted  and  the  parties  are now  awaiting  a
pre-trial  status  conference.  No trial date has been set.  Because the Company
believes that it never entered into any agreement with the plaintiff, never used
the  plaintiff's  proprietary  technology and paid all  consulting  fees due the
plaintiff,  the Company  believes that the  litigation  will not have a material
adverse effect on its business.


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

        There were no matters  submitted  to a vote of  shareholders  during the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1997.


                                                                              10

        As of September 12, 1997, the Company estimated that the number of stock
holders of record of the Company's Common Stock were approximately 1,550.


        The Company has not paid any cash  dividends  on its Common  Stock since
inception  and  it  does  not  anticipate  paying  any  cash  dividends  in  the
foreseeable future.


        In October 1996, Landmark International Equities,  Inc., the underwriter
of the  Company's  initial  public  offering  and  primary  market  maker of the
Company's  securities  ceased  operations.  They are  currently  in excess of 20
registered  market  makers  of the  Company's  securities  and  the  Company  is
continuing  its  efforts  to expand  the  number of firms  making  market in the
Company's securities.


ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

        GreenMan  Technologies,  Inc.  was  incorporated  in 1992  primarily  to
develop,  manufacture,  assemble and sell environmentally friendly plastic parts
and  products.  The  Company's  Molding  operation  provides  injection  molding
manufacturing  services in the  production of plastic and  thermoplastic  rubber
parts for such products as stereo  components  and  speakers,  water filters and
pumps and computer accessories.

        The Company's  Recycling operation was established to develop lower cost
sources  of supply of  rubber  and  plastic  waste for  recycling  as well as to
identify rubber and plastic based  end-products  for which  management  believes
there is a significant  market demand.  The Company has targeted several markets
with  products  incorporating  recovered  crumb  rubber  including  the building
industry with  anti-fatigue  floor mats,  roofing products and timbers,  and the
lawn and garden market with landscape timbers and fencing.

        In  October  1995,  the  Company  sold in its  initial  public  offering
("IPO"),  1,265,000  shares  of common  stock at $5.00  per share and  1,265,000
redeemable  Class A common  stock  purchase  warrants  at $.10 per  warrant  and




                                                                              11


received net proceeds of approximately $5,390,000 after underwriting commissions
and other issuance costs paid at the closing.








        Simultaneous  with the closing of the IPO,  the Company  acquired all of
the outstanding  common stock of DuraWear  Corporation  ("DuraWear"),  a company
which  manufactures,  installs  and  markets  a  diverse  range of high  quality
ceramic,  polymer  composite,  and alloy steel  materials  engineered  to resist
severely  abrasive  and  corrosive  conditions  typically  encountered  in  bulk
handling systems in such industries as paper and pulp, mining, coal handling and
grain storage and transportation.  The consolidated financial statements include
the results of DuraWear since October 10, 1995.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED MAY 31,1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED MAY 31,1996

        Consolidated  net sales for the year ended May 31, 1997 ("fiscal  1997")
were  $4,020,670  as  compared  to  $4,338,538  for the year ended May 31,  1996
("fiscal 1996").  The decrease in net  consolidated  sales of $317,868 or 7% was
due to a 39% or $1,263,191 decrease in contract molding and assembly business as
customers in south-central  Arkansas  utilized existing  inventories  during the
first half of fiscal 1997. The decrease in revenues of the molding operation was
partially  offset by the inclusion of DuraWear  sales for the full year compared
to  approximately  eight months in fiscal  1996,  resulting in a $907,122 or 80%
increase in revenue as DuraWear was acquired on October 10, 1995.  During fiscal
1997,  approximately 29% of consolidated net sales were accounted for by Jacuzzi
Brothers Division,  Little Rock, ("Jacuzzi").  During fiscal 1996, approximately
38% and 14% of  consolidated  net sales were  accounted for by Jacuzzi and Stant
Manufacturing Inc., respectively. The effort to secure additional custom molding
business  from new  customers  is ongoing  and will  continue  until the Company
concludes the transition from custom to captive molding.

        Gross profit for fiscal 1997 was $621,360 or 15% of  consolidated  sales
as compared to  $1,108,540  or 26% of sales for fiscal  1996.  This  decrease is
attributable to the reduction in contract molding and assembly  business and the
Company's  decision to upgrade its  Jackson,  Georgia  crumb  rubber  production
facility to produce higher-grade product. During the refacilitation, the Company
lacked the  capability  to process the tire chips  received from BFI into higher
value-added  feedstock  material,  thus  necessitating  the sale of lower  gross
margin TDF ("Tire Derived  Fuel") as a way to fulfill its tire chip  obligation.
The Company was obligated to "take or pay" for 605 tons of TDF chips starting in
September 1996 from BTG (pursuant to a December 1995 agreement, as amended). BTG
acknowledged  the  delay in  production  and  agreed  to  reduce  the  Company's
obligation by fifty percent  through June 1997.  The Company had a gross loss of
$416,840 on the sale of TDF chips for fiscal 1997. The "take or pay"  obligation
was terminated as a result of the Company's acquisition of BTG in June 1997.


        Research and development  expenditures were $353,250 for fiscal 1997, an
increase of over 400%, as compared to $66,610 for fiscal 1996.  The  significant
increase is  attributable  to the  Company's  ongoing  efforts to  identify  new
proprietary  products and  formulations  and expand the applications of existing
product lines.


        Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $4,126,611 for fiscal
1997, or 103% of consolidated sales as compared to $2,406,794,  or 55% of sales,
for fiscal 1996.  The increase of $1,719,817 was partially  attributable  to the
inclusion of a full year of DuraWear's  operating  expenses totaling  $1,082,091
which resulted in a $264,260  increase in expenses  compared to fiscal 1996. The
Company also  recognized  $646,000 in non-cash  expenses in connection  with the
issuance of common  stock  warrants  and options  and the  repricing  of certain
previously  issued common stock warrants and options in accordance with SFAS No.
123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation".  In  addition,  the  Company
initiated a significant  financial public relations  campaign during fiscal 1997
which resulted in a one-time  charge of  approximately  $200,000.  This campaign
consisted of  newsprint  articles,  television  features and the mailing of over
100,000 financial information packages to potential investors.  The Company also
took a $150,000 charge for the potential  uncollectibility of a note receivable.
The fiscal 1997  results  also  reflect  $578,408 of costs  associated  with the
Company's  recycling  operation  which  operated  under limited  conditions as a
result of the decision to upgrade the Jackson,  Georgia crumb rubber  production
equipment.

        As a result of the  Company's  decision to refocus its  resources on the
opportunities  for  "high-value-added"  crumb  rubber,  the  limitations  of the
Company's   existing  cryogenic   recycling   equipment  to  produce  sufficient
quantities of ultra-fine mesh crumb rubber,  the risks associated with a startup
venture, and the Company's minority interest in the joint



                                                                              12



venture  the Company  wrote-down  the  carrying  value of the  equipment  to its
estimated  liquidation  value.  Accordingly,  the Company  recorded a $1,000,000
impairment  loss in fiscal 1997 against the  Company's  deposit on the cryogenic
recycling  equipment  pursuant to SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed of". This writedown
was effected even though  subsequent to year-end,  the Company  contributed  the
equipment  as its capital  contribution  to a joint  venture  with the  original
equipment  manufacturer  who  in  turn  will  contribute  on  its  part  certain
facilities,  equipment,  customer  contracts,  licenses  and permits and provide
operational and technical expertise.

        As a  result  of the  foregoing,  the  operating  loss for  fiscal  1997
increased by $3,493,637 to $4,858,500 or 121% of consolidated sales, as compared
to an operating loss of $1,364,864, or 31% of sales for fiscal 1996.


        Interest and financing  costs  increased by $1,826,024 to $2,114,803 due
to increased  borrowings  related to the issuance of $3,025,000  in  convertible
debentures  during  fiscal  1997.  Approximately  $843,000  of the  increase  is
associated  with the impact of  amortizing  the 30%  discount  from market to be
realized upon conversion of the debentures. The Company also recognized $860,118
of financing expense amortization associated with the Company's efforts to raise
additional  capital  during  fiscal 1997.  This expense  included  approximately
$556,560 of non-cash  expense in  connection  with the  issuance of common stock
warrants  and  options  in  accordance  with  SFAS  No.  123,   "Accounting  for
Stock-Based Compensation".

        The Company experienced a net loss of $7,006,479, or $1.25 per share for
fiscal  1997 as  compared  to a net loss of  $1,578,321,  or $.34 per  share for
fiscal 1996.


YEAR ENDED MAY 31,1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED MAY 31,1995

        Consolidated  net sales for the year ended May 31, 1996 were  $4,338,538
as compared to $2,127,745 for the year ended May 31, 1995 ("fiscal  1995").  The
increase in net  consolidated  sales of  $2,210,793  or 104% was due to a 50% or
$1,071,896  increase in contract molding and assembly business and the inclusion
of $1,138,897 of DuraWear sales.  During fiscal 1996,  approximately 38% and 14%
of  consolidated  net sales were  accounted  for by Jacuzzi  Brothers  Division,
Little Rock,  ("Jacuzzi") and Stant  Manufacturing Inc. ("Stant")  respectively.
During fiscal 1995,  approximately  62%, 14% and 10% of net sales were accounted
for by Jacuzzi, Stant and R. G. Sloane & Co., Inc. ("Sloane"), respectively.

        Gross profit for fiscal 1996 was $1,108,540 or 26% of consolidated sales
as compared to $312,063 or 15% of sales for fiscal  1995.  This  improvement  in
gross  profit  was  primarily  due to the  inclusion  of  DuraWear  sales  which
generated a 54% gross margin while molding and assembly  operations  generated a
consistent 15% gross margin for the fiscal 1996 period.

        Research and  development  expenditures  were $66,610 for fiscal 1996 as
compared  to  $223,061  for fiscal  1995.  The  majority of the 70 % decrease is
attributable  to the termination of two product  development  projects in fiscal
1995. This decrease was offset by the Company's  ongoing efforts to identify new
proprietary products and expand the applications of existing product lines.

        Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $2,406,794 for fiscal
1996, or 55% of consolidated sales as compared to $619,163, or 29% of sales, for
fiscal 1995.  The  increase of  $1,787,631  was  primarily  attributable  to the
inclusion of DuraWear's  operating expenses of $817,831,  which included $77,778
relating to amortization of the three-year non-competition agreement and $33,232
relating to goodwill amortization. In addition, the Company's expenses increased
due to the  addition  of new  employees,  increased  corporate  development  and
marketing  activities and increased expenses related to the Company's becoming a
public company in October 1995.

        As a  result  of the  foregoing,  the  operating  loss for  fiscal  1996
increased by $834,703 to $1,364,864 or 31% of consolidated sales, as compared to
an operating loss of $530,161, or 25% of sales for fiscal 1995.

        The Company repaid  approximately  $1,073,000 of bridge loans in October
1995 from the proceeds of its IPO which  contributed to the $235,025 decrease in
interest  and  financing  costs for fiscal 1996 as compared to fiscal  1995.  In
addition,  the Company recorded  additional  interest expense in fiscal 1995, in
connection  with  the  March  1995  modification  of the note  payable  to Budra
Management Corporation. These decreases were slightly offset by the inclusion of
DuraWear's interest expense of $28,900 for fiscal 1996.

        The Company experienced a net loss of $1,578,321,  or $.34 per share for
fiscal  1996 as  compared  to a net loss of  $1,092,006,  or $.27 per  share for
fiscal 1995.



                                                                              13


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Since its inception,  the Company has satisfied its capital requirements
through the sale of common and preferred stock and debt securities to investors,
loans from affiliated and unaffiliated lenders, the acquisition of machinery and
equipment  through capital leases and notes payable,  and the issuance of common
stock in lieu of cash for services rendered.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

        On October 10, 1995, the Company raised  approximately  $5,390,000  from
its IPO,  after  underwriting  commissions  and other issuance costs paid at the
closing.  The proceeds of the IPO were used to repay  outstanding  bridge loans,
and past due accounts payable, to acquire DuraWear,  to construct a crumb rubber
recovery  facility,  to expand the injection molding  operations,  to retain the
underwriter  as a  financial  consultant  for a period  of three  years  and for
general working capital needs.


        During the period from February  1996 to June 1996 the Company  borrowed
$1,700,000 in aggregate from a company that owns a subsidiary  whose Chairman is
also a director of the Company.  These notes  payable  bear  interest at 10% per
annum with  principal and interest due at the earlier of (1) the tenth  business
day  following  the  consummation  by the  Company  of a minimum  $3,000,000  of
additional  financing or (2) $500,000 on September 30, 1996, $700,000 on January
1, 1997 and  $500,000  June 1, 1997,  respectively.  In  addition,  the  Company
granted  warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $3.88 per share and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the
Company's  common  stock at an exercise  price of $4.00 per share.  In September
1996, the Company repaid approximately $500,000 of the amounts owed the lender.


        On December 30, 1996, the Company  renegotiated the remaining  principal
balance  of  $1,200,000  due  under  these 10% notes  payable.  The  outstanding
principal balance was exchanged for a 10% secured  convertible note payable (the
"Note"),  due July 1, 1997 and convertible  into the Company's  common stock, at
the  holder's  option,  at a  conversion  price of $1.00 per share.  The Note is
secured by an interest in the Company's cryogenic tire recycling equipment.  The
Company also reduced the exercise price the of 300,000  warrants granted in 1996
to $1.13 per share.

        On June 30, 1997,  the Company  received a 90 day  extension of the Note
and a waiver allowing it to contribute  it's cryogenic tire recycling  equipment
into the GreenMan/CRT joint venture in return for granting the holder piggy-back
registration  rights for the shares of common stock underlying the Note, accrued
interest and the 300,000 warrants granted in 1996.

CRUMB RUBBER FACILITY

        The Company allocated approximately  $1,000,000 of the proceeds from its
IPO for the construction of the crumb rubber recycling  facility.  As of May 31,
1997,  the  construction  had been  completed  at a total cost of  approximately
$902,000.

        In October  1995,  the  Company  placed a purchase  order for  cryogenic
recycling  equipment  and placed a 50% or $700,000  deposit  with the  equipment
manufacturer  for the first cryogenic  recycling  equipment line. In March 1996,
the Company  paid an  additional  $1,100,000  deposit  towards  the  purchase of
additional  cryogenic recycling equipment lines. As a result of the formation of
a joint  venture (the  "GMT/CRT  joint  venture")  between the Company and Crumb
Rubber  Technologies,  Inc.  ("CRT")  on  August  26,  1997,  the  Company  will
contribute the cryogenic recycling equipment  previously  purchased from CRT and
formerly   located  in  Jackson,   Georgia  into  the  venture  as  its  capital
contribution  while  CRT  will  contribute  on  its  part  certain   facilities,
equipment,  customer contracts, licenses and permits and provide operational and
technical expertise. CRT will refund $300,000 of the deposits previously made by
the Company towards  additional  cryogenic  recycling  equipment lines that were
cancelled.

LOANS FROM OFFICERS

        In May 1996,  the  Company  borrowed  $325,000  from an  officer  of the
Company. This unsecured note payable bears interest at prime plus 1.5% per annum
with  principal  and  interest  due on the earlier of 120 days after the date of
issuance or the tenth  business  day  following  the  consummation  of a minimum
$3,000,000 of additional  financing by the Company.  From  September 1996 to May
1997 the Company borrowed collectively, an additional $624,300 from this officer
and  another  officer of the Company and repaid  $345,000  in  aggregate  during
January 1997 and May 1997.


                                                                              14


        On May 30, 1997, the Company refinanced the remaining  principle balance
and accrued interest ($18,000) owed to Messrs. Needham and Levangie plus accrued
business  expenses  ($17,700)  by issuing to Messrs.  Needham and Levangie a 10%
convertible  debentures,  due October  30,  1998 in the amount of  $555,000  and
$85,000, respectively and warrants to purchase 128,000 shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $.88 per share. The debentures are convertible  after a one
hundred  and  twenty  day  holding  period  into  shares  of  common  stock at a
conversion price equal to the lower of the average closing bid price on the five
trading days  preceding May 30, 1997 or 70% of the average  closing bid price on
the five trading days preceding the date of the conversion of such debentures.

                                                                              15


DEBENTURES OFFERINGS

        In January  1997,  the  Company  concluded a  $1,525,000  offering of 7%
convertible  subordinated  debentures  ("Debentures")  and  warrants to purchase
762,500 shares of common stock (the "January  Offering") at an exercise price of
$1.25 per share. The Debentures are convertible after a sixty day holding period
into  shares of common  stock at a  conversion  price  equal to the lower of the
closing  bid price on the date of the  January  Offering  closing  or 70% of the
closing bid price on the date prior to the  conversion of such  Debentures.  The
Debentures  automatically  convert  into  shares of common  stock one year after
issuance.  The  net  proceeds  from  the  January  Offering  were  approximately
$1,310,000 after deducting  commissions and expenses of approximately  $214,000.
As of  May  31,  1997,  $825,000  of  the  Debentures  had  been  converted  for
approximately 1,249,813 shares of the Company's common stock.

        In  April  1997,  the  Company   concluded  a  $1,500,000   offering  of
convertible  subordinated  debentures  due  eighteen  months  after  closing and
warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock (the "April Offering") at 
exercise  prices  ranging  from  $.97 to $1.05 per  share.  The  debentures  are
convertible  after a sixty day holding  period into shares of common  stock at a
conversion price equal to the lower of the average closing bid price on the five
trading days  preceding the date of the closing of the April  Offering or 70% of
the average closing bid price on the five trading days preceding the date of the
conversion of such debentures.  The debenture  holders will receive 4,000 shares
of the  Company's  common  stock upon  conversion  in lieu of interest  for each
$100,000  invested.  The net proceeds from the April Offering were approximately
$1,247,000 after deducting  commissions and expenses of approximately  $253,000.
Approximately  $650,000  of the  proceeds  were  paid  to BFI  as a  deposit  in
connection with the acquisition of BTM and BTG.

AQUISITION OF BTM AND BTG 

        On June 30, 1997,  GreenMan acquired all of the capital stock of BTM and
BTG which are wholly-owned  subsidiaries of BFI for approximately  $5,331,000. A
deposit of  $650,000  has been paid to BFI at May 31,  1997 and the  balance was
financed by a short-term  loan from BFI to the Company,  which must be repaid by
September 30, 1997.  The repayment of such loan is guaranteed by the Company and
is secured by all of the assets and capital stock of the acquired companies. The
Company  anticipates  refinancing such loans prior to maturity,  but has not yet
received any firm  commitments.  No assurances  can be given that such financing
will be concluded prior to the maturity, if at all.

        At May 31,  1997,  the Company had cash of $104,193,  a working  capital
deficit of  $3,016,098,  net capital of  $1,123,465  and  accumulated  losses of
$10,704,933.  The working  capital  deficit  includes  $1,200,000 of convertible
debentures  and  approximately  $434,000  relating  to the  reclassification  of
certain long term capital lease  obligations to current as several leases are in
default.  The  Company  is  currently  working  with the  lessor  to  bring  its
obligations  current and has not  received  any written or verbal  notice of the
lessor's intention to enforce the default  provisons.  From June to August 1997,
$700,000 of debentures were converted into 1,243,384 shares of common stock.

        Based on the Company's  operating  plans,  Management  believes that the
available  working  capital  together  with  revenues  from  operations  and the
purchase of equipment through lease financing  arrangements,  and the successful
refinancing  of the June 30, 1997 short term loan will be sufficient to meet the
Company's  cash  requirements  through  the second quarter of fiscal  1998.  The
Company  expects that  additional  financing will be required after this time in
order to fund  continued  growth.  Management  has  identified  and is currently
evaluating  several immediate  financing  alternatives and diligently working to
determine the feasibility of each  alternative.  No assurances can be given that
such  financing will be concluded in the near future on favorable  terms,  if at
all. If the  Company is unable to obtain  additional  financing,  its ability to
maintain its current  level of  operations  could be  materially  and  adversely
affected  and  the  Company  may be  required  to  adjust  its  operating  plans
accordingly.


FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS


        The Company's  revenue and operating  results may fluctuate from quarter
to quarter and from year to year due to a combination of factors,  including (i)
refacilitation  of the  Company's  crumb  rubber plant and  production  of crumb
rubber in  commercial  quantities  at a price  that will be  competitive  in the
market;  (ii) the  Company's  ability  to secure  additional  customers  for its
products,  thereby  reducing  its reliance on a few major  customers;  (iii) the
Company's  ability to refinance the BTM and BTG  acquisition  related short term
loan and the Company's ability to integrate and manage the operations of BTM and
BTG, its recently acquired subsidiaries; (iv) market acceptance of the Company's
proposed  GEM Stock  material  and GreenMan  consumer  products;  (v) ability to
obtain raw materials from suppliers on terms acceptable to the Company; and (vi)
general economic  conditions.  The Company's plans and objectives,  are based on
assumptions  that the Company will be successful in completing  its crumb rubber
facility,  that it will produce crumb rubber at a price that will be competitive
in the market,  that the Company  will be  successful  in  receiving  additional
financing  to fund  future  growth and that there  will be no  material  adverse
change in the Company's operations or business.



                                                                              16


        Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to,
among other things, future economic,  competitive and market conditions,  all of
which are difficult or impossible  to predict  accurately  and many of which are
beyond the control of the Company.  As a result,  there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to achieve or sustain  profitability  on a quarterly or
annual  basis.  In  light  of  the  significant  uncertainties  inherent  in the
Company's business, forward-looking statements made in this report should not be
regarded  as a  representation  by the  Company  or any  other  person  that the
objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.


ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY

        The  Company  has  no  known   material   environmental   violations  or
assessments.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        The Company intends to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") NO. 128, "Earnings per Share", in the year ended May 31, 1998. SFAS No.
128 establishes  standards for computing and presenting  earnings per share, and
is effective for financial  statements  issued for periods ending after December
15,  1997,  earlier  application  is not  permitted.  SFAS NO. 128  requires the
restatement of all prior period earnings per share data presented.

        The FASB  issued SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share" in February  1997.
SFAS   No.   128   establishes    standards   for   computing   and   presenting
earnings-per-share, and is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, earlier  application is not permitted . SFAS No.
128  requires  the  restatement  of all  prior  period  earnings-per-share  data
presented.

        In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income". SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after Decemver 15,
1997. Accounting  principles generally require all recognized  revenue,expenses,
gainds  and  losses to be  included  in net  income.  Various  FASB  statements,
however,  require  companies to report certain changes in assets and liabilities
as a separate  component  of the equity  section  of the  balance  sheet such as
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale  securities,  foreign currency
items and  minimum  pension  liability  adjustments.  These items along with net
income, are components of comprehensive income.

        It is requried under SFAS No. 130 that all items of comprehensive income
are to be reported in a "financial  statement"  that is displayed  with the same
prominence as other financial  statements.  Additionally,  SFAS No. 130 requires
the  classification  of items  comprising  other  comprehensive  income by their
nauture,  and the  accumulated  balance of other  comprehensive  income  must be
displayed  separately  from retained  earnings and additional paid in capital in
the  equity  section  of the  balance  sheet.  Management  will  adopt  this new
disclosure requirement beginning in the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999.

        Also in June 1997,  the FASB  isssued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  about
Segments of an Enterprise  and Related  Information".  SFAS No. 131 is effective
for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No.
131 establishes  standards for the way that public companies report  information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It
also establishes  standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic  areas and  major  customers.  Generally,  financial  information  is
required to be reported on the basis that it is used  internally  for evaluating
segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

        SFAS No. 131 also requires companies to report information about the way
that the operating  segments were determined,  the product and services provided
by  the  operating  segments,  differences  between  the  measurements  used  in
reporting  segment  information  and those used by the  Company  in its  general
purpose financial statements,  and changes in the measurement of segment amounts
from  period to  period.  Management  has not yet  determined  the  impact  that
adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have on its financial statement presentation.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

        The  Company's  1993 Stock  Option Plan (the  "Plan") was adopted by the
Board of Directors on June 10, 1993 and approved by the stockholders on June 10,
1993.

        Options  granted  under the Plan may be either (i)  options  intended to
qualify as "incentive  stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal  Revenue Code"),  or (ii)  non-qualified
stock  options.  Incentive  stock  options  may be  granted  under  the  Plan to
employees,  including  officers and directors who are  employees.  Non-qualified
options may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company.

        The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  Under the Plan, the
Board has the  authority  to  determine  the  persons  to whom  options  will be
granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option,  whether the options
granted are intended to be incentive stock options, the manner of exercise,  and
the time, manner and form of payment upon exercise of an option. On June 7, 1996
a Special Meeting of Stockholders  was held and the Company  increased the total
number of  shares  of  Common  Stock  reserved  for  issuance  under the Plan to
1,000,000.

        Incentive  stock options  granted under the Plan may not be granted at a
price less than the fair market  value of the Common  Stock on the date of grant
(or less than 110% of fair  market  value in the case of persons  holding 10% or
more of the voting stock of the  Company).  Non-qualified  stock  options may be
granted at an exercise price established by the Board which may not be less than
85% of fair  market  value of the shares on the date of grant.  Incentive  stock
options  granted under the Plan must expire no more than ten years from the date
of  grant,  and no more than  five  years  from the date of grant in the case of
incentive stock options granted to an employee holding 10% or more of the voting
stock of the Company.

        As of May 31, 1997,  there were 716,700  options granted and outstanding
under the Plan of which 137,500 options were  exercisable at prices ranging from
$.09 to $1.00.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

        On January 24, 1996,  the Board of Directors of the Company  adopted the
1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan ("Director Plan") and the Company's
stockholders'  approved  the Director  Plan on June 7, 1996.  The purpose of the
Director  Plan is to  promote  the  interests  of the  Company by  providing  an
inducement  to obtain and retain the services of  qualified  persons who are not
officers  or  employees  of the  Company  to serve as  members  of the  Board of
Directors. The Board of Director has reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for
issuance and as of May 31,  1997,  options to purchase  30,000  shares of Common
Stock have been granted under the Director Plan.


        Each  person who was a member of the Board of  Directors  on January 24,
1996,  and was not an officer or  employee  of the  Company,  was  automatically
granted an option to purchase  10,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock.  In
addition,  after an individual's initial election to the Board of Directors, any
director who is not an officer or employee of the Company who continues to serve
as a director will automatically be granted on the date of the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders  an  additional  option to purchase  10,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock. The exercise price per share of options granted under the Director
Plan is 100% of the  fair-market  value  of the  Company's  Common  Stock on the
business day  immediately  prior to the date of the grant.  Each option  granted
under the 1996  Director  Plan is  immediately  exercisable  for a period of ten
years from the date of the grant.

ITEM 12.      CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

STOCK ISSUANCES; STOCK OPTIONS; WARRANTS

        In connection with its incorporation in 1992, the Company authorized the
issuance at a price of $.01 per share of 338,300 shares of Common Stock to James
F. Barker,  the Company's  President,  116,700 shares to Cynthia M. Barker,  Mr.
Barker's adult daughter and an employee of the Company, 250,000 shares to Joseph
E. Levangie, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, 285,000 shares to Maurice E.
Needham,  the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and 220,000 shares
to Dhananjay G. Wadekar, a principal stockholder. The Company also issued 44,500
shares to one unaffiliated person.  (Hereinafter,  these shares are collectively
referred to as "Founders' Shares").  Although stock subscription  agreements for
the Founders'  Shares were  executed,  no payment for the  Founders'  Shares was
received.  In August 1994, the Company's Board of Directors voted to forgive the
stock  subscriptions  receivable  in  exchange  for  services  rendered by these
persons to the Company during its start-up  operations.  The Company also issued
140,000 shares of Common Stock to Budra Management Corp. ("Budra"),  at the time
a principal stockholder of the Company, in connection with the loans made to the
Company.


        In July 1995,  Mr.  Wadekar  purchased an additional  58,333 shares from
previous  stockholders of the Company as a condition to the Company's listing on
the NASDAQ SmallCap Market.


        In  July  1994,   the  Company   granted  to  Mr.   Wadekar   five-year,
non-qualified  stock options to purchase  125,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock  exercisable at $.29 per share in consideration  for services  rendered to
the Company which included advice on business and joint venture  strategies,  as
well as advice for integration of the operations of DuraWear and the Company. In
February 1996, Mr. Wadekar exercised these  non-qualified  stock options using a
net exercise feature, in exchange for 117,750 shares of Common Stock.


        On October 10, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  common
stock of DuraWear Corporation, a company owed solely by Mr. Wadekar, a principal
stockholder of the Company. The purchase price consisted of $400,000 in cash and
75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, valued in the aggregate at $375,000
or $5.00 per share. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into
a three-year non-competition agreement with Mr. Wadekar, under which the Company
issued 70,000  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock valued in the aggregate at
$350,000 or $5.00 per share. The Company also entered into a one-year consulting
agreement with Mr. Wadekar in consideration for which the Company paid $20,000.


        On May 30, 1997, the Company issued Mr. Needham and Mr.  Levangie,  two
officers of the Company, options to purchase 111,000 and 17,000 shares of common
stock,  respectively,  pursuant to the terms of loans made to the  Company.  The
warrants have an exercise price of $.88 per share.


                                                                              22


LOANS; PERSONAL GUARANTEES

        During the period from September to December 1992, Budra Management made
loans to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $233,000. The original
terms of the loans  provided  for  payment  of  interest  at the rate of 10% per
annum, the repayment of the loans at the closing of the Company's Initial Public
Offering ("IPO") and the payment of an additional $250,000 in cash one year from
the IPO. In March 1995,  the Company and Budra modified the terms of the note to
provide for the issuance to Budra of 100,000  shares of Common Stock,  valued in
the  aggregate  at $500,000  (or $5.00 per share),  at the closing of the IPO in
lieu of the  $250,000  cash  payment.  The  100,000  shares of Common  Stock are
subject to a lock-up  agreement  limiting  the transfer of the shares to no more
than  15,000  shares per  quarter  commencing  90 days after the IPO. In October
1995,  the Company  repaid the $233,000 notes payable plus interest to Budra and
issued the 100,000 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the DuraWear
stock purchase  agreement,  the Company succeeded to the obligations of DuraWear
relating to the  repayment  of an amount  ($78,897 as of May 31,  1997) which is
evidenced by a promissory note representing amounts due for advances to DuraWear
by Mr. Wadekar who is also a principal  stockholder of the Company.  The note is
being repaid in 36 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest
at prime plus 1.5% (10.0% at May 31, 1997), adjusted annually.

        Mr. Wadekar has guaranteed  payment of DuraWear's  remaining loan from a
bank, which has an outstanding principal balance of $450,654 at May 31, 1997 and
is secured by a mortgage on real estate owned by DuraWear,  as well as a lien on
substantially all of DuraWear's assets, bears interest at the rate of prime plus
1% ( 9.5% at May 31, 1997) per annum and is due in July 2000.

        During the period from February  1996 to June 1996 the Company  borrowed
$1,700,000 in aggregate from a company that owns a subsidiary  whose Chairman is
also a director of the Company.  These notes  payable  bear  interest at 10% per
annum with  principal and interest due at the earlier of: (1) the tenth business
day  following  the  consummation  by the  Company  of a minimum  $3,000,000  of
additional financing; or (2) $500,000 on September 30, 1996, $700,000 on January
1, 1997 and  $500,000  June 1, 1997,  respectively.  In  addition,  the  Company
granted  warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $3.88 per share and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the
Company's  common  stock at an exercise  price of $4.00 per share.  In September
1997, the Company repaid approximately  $500,000 of the amounts owed the lender.
On December 30,1996, the Company renegotiated the remaining principal balance of
$1,200,000 due under these 10% notes payable. The outstanding  principal balance
was exchanged for a 10% secured convertible note payable (the "Note"),  due July
1, 1997 and convertible into the Company's common stock, at the holder's option,
at a conversion  price of $1.00 per share. The Note is secured by an interest in
the Company's cryogenic tire recycling  equipment.  The Company also reduced the
exercise  price of the 300,000  warrants  granted in 1996 to $1.13 which was the
closing bid price of the  Company's  common stock on December 30, 1996.  On June
30,  1997,  the  Company  received a 90-day  extension  of the Note and a waiver
allowing it to contribute  it's  cryogenic  tire  recycling  equipment  into the
GreenMan/CRT  joint  venture  in  return  for  granting  the  holder  piggy-back
registration  rights for the shares of common stock underlying the Note, accrued
interest and the 300,000 warrants granted in 1996.

        In May 1996,  the  Company  borrowed  $325,000  from Mr.  Needham.  This
unsecured  note  payable  bears  interest at a rate of prime plus 1.5% per annum
with  principal  and interest due the earlier of 120 days after  issuance or the
tenth  business  day  following  the  consummation  of a minimum  $3,000,000  of
additional  financing.  The  proceeds  of the note were used  towards  equipment
deposits, licensing fees and the issuance of notes receivable.

        From  September  1996 to May 1997 the  Company  borrowed  an  additional
$624,300 from Mr. Needham and Mr.  Levangie,  collectively.  During January 1997
and May 1997 the Company repaid $345,000 of the amounts owed.

        On May 30, 1997,  the Company  refinanced  the  remaining  principal and
accrued  interest  ($18,000)  owed to Messrs.  Needham and Levangie plus accrued
business  expenses  ($17,000)  by issuing to Messrs.  Needham and Levangie a 10%
convertible debenture,  due October 30, 1998 in the principal amount of $555,000
and $85,000,  respectively  and warrants to purchase  111,000  shares and 17,000
shares of common stock,  respectively,  at an exercise  price of $.88 per share.
The debentures are convertible after a one-hundred-and-twenty-day holding period
(the "holding  period") into shares of common stock at a conversion  price equal
to the lower of the average closing bid price on the five trading days preceding
May 30, 1997 or 70% of the average  closing bid price on the five  trading  days
preceding the date of the conversion of such debentures.


                                                                              23



        During June and July 1997, the Company  borrowed an additional  $386,000
from  Messrs.  Needham,  Levangie  and two other  officers of the Company  under
similar  terms to the May 30, 1997  debentures  and issued  warrants to purchase
77,200 shares of common stock at exercise  prices  ranging from $.72 to $.97 per
share.

        From time to time since its  inception,  the Company  has  entered  into
third party  equipment  leases  with  respect to certain  equipment  used by the
Company in its  operations.  Mr.  Barker  has  personally  guaranteed  the lease
payments on equipment leases totaling approximately $1,200,000.

        All transactions, including loans, between the Company and its officers,
directors,  principal  stockholders,  and their  affiliates  are  approved  by a
majority of the independent and disinterested  outside directors on the Board of
Directors,  and will be on terms no less  favorable to the Company than could be
obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
  GreenMan Technologies, Inc.
  Lynnfield, Massachusetts

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GreenMan
Technologies,  Inc. and  subsidiary  as of May 31, 1996 and 1997 and the related
consolidated  statements of loss, changes in stockholders'  equity (deficit) and
cash flows for the years ended May 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997.  These  consolidated
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly,  in  all  material   respects,   the  financial   position  of  GreenMan
Technologies,  Inc. and  subsidiary  at May 31, 1996 and 1997 and the results of
their  operations and cash flows for the years ended May 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

        The accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company  will  continue as a going  concern.  As  discussed in Note 3 to the
consolidated  financial  statements,   the  Company  has  suffered  losses  from
operations,  is in default on certain  capital leases and has a working  capital
deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.  Management's  plans in regard to these  matters are also  described in
Note 3. The  financial  statements  do not  include any  adjustments  that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                           GREENMAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

        The Company  develops,  manufactures  and markets  custom molded plastic
parts. The Company is also developing low-cost sources of crumb rubber recovered
from  discarded  automobile  and truck  tires and the  consumer  products  to be
manufactured from these recycled materials.

        On October 10, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  common
stock of DuraWear Corporation ("DuraWear").  DuraWear manufactures, installs and
markets a diverse range of high quality ceramic,  polymer  composite,  and alloy
steel materials  engineered to resist severe  abrasive and corrosive  conditions
typically encountered in bulk material handling systems. (See Note 2).

Basis of Presentation


        The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DuraWear. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.


Management Estimates


        The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  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  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  recorded  during  the
reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those  estimates.  Such
estimates relate primarily to the estimated lives of property and equipment, the
value  of  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  and  the  value  of  equity
instruments  issued.  The amount that the Company may  ultimately  realize  from
equipment  deposits and notes receivable could differ  materially from the value
of these investments recorded in the accompanying financial statements as of May
31, 1997.


Cash Equivalents

        Cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities
of three months or less.

Inventory

        Inventory  is  valued  at the  lower  of cost or  market  on a  first-in
first-out (FIFO) method.

Property and Equipment


        Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
expense is provided on the straight-line  method.  Depreciation and amortization
expense for the years ended May 31, 1995,  1996 and 1997 was $136,617,  $220,053
and $380,454 respectively. A summary of the estimated useful lives follows:


          Buildings...................................          25 years
          Machinery and equipment.....................        5-15 years
          Furniture and fixtures......................        3-10 years
          Motor vehicles..............................           5 years
          Leasehold improvements......................       10-20 years

        Expenditures for maintenance,  repairs and minor renewals are charged to
expense  as  incurred.   Significant   improvements   and  major   renewals  are
capitalized.

Deferred Financing Costs


        Deferred  financing  costs  represent  costs incurred in connection with
raising  capital through the issuance of convertible  debentures.  The amount is
amortized to expense over the estimated life of the debenture.



                                                                             F-8

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

1.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)


Deferred Offering Costs

        Deferred  offering costs  represent  costs  incurred in connection  with
raising capital. Upon completion of an offering, the amount of proceeds credited
to additional paid-in capital is reduced by the deferred offering costs.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenues  from  product  sales  are  recognized  when the  products  are
shipped.


Income Taxes

        Deferred  tax  assets  and   liabilities   are  recorded  for  temporary
differences  between  the  financial  statement  and tax  bases  of  assets  and
liabilities  using the  currently  enacted  income tax rates  expected  to be in
effect when the taxes are actually  paid or  recovered.  A deferred tax asset is
also recorded for net operating loss and tax credit  carryforwards to the extent
their  realization  is more likely than not.  The  deferred  tax expense for the
period  represents  the change in the deferred  tax asset or liability  from the
beginning to the end of the period.

Stock-Based Compensation


        In October  1995,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation.  This statement encourages all entities to adopt a
fair value based method of accounting  for employee  stock  compensation  plans,
whereby  compensation  cost is  measured at the grant date based on the value of
the award and is  recognized  over the  service  period,  which is  usually  the
vesting  period.  However,  it also  allows  an entity to  continue  to  measure
compensation  cost of those plans  using the  intrinsic  value  based  method of
accounting  prescribed by Accounting  Principles  Board ("APB")  Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees",  whereby  compensation  cost is the
excess,  if any, of the quoted  market  price of the stock at the grant date (or
other  measurement  date) over the amount an  employee  must pay to acquire  the
stock.  Stock options  issued under the Company's  stock option plans  generally
have no  intrinsic  value at the grant  date,  and under APB  Opinion No. 25, no
compensation cost is recognized for them. The Company has elected to continue to
apply the  accounting  in APB  Opinion  No. 25 and,  as a result , must make pro
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures, as
if the fair,  value-based method of accounting had been applied.  The disclosure
requirements  of this  Statement are  effective  for the Company's  consolidated
financial  statements for the year ended May 31, 1997. The pro forma disclosures
include the effects of all awards granted after May 31, 1995. (See Note 14).

Net Loss Per Share

        Net loss per  share is based on the  weighted  average  number of common
shares outstanding during the period.

        A staff  accounting  bulletin  issued  by the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission requires that common stock,  options,  warrants and other potentially
dilutive  instruments  issued  within one year prior to the initial  filing of a
registration  statement for an initial public offering be treated as outstanding
for all periods prior to the effective date of the  registration for purposes of
the net loss per share computation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        The FASB  issued SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share" in February  1997.
SFAS   No.   128   establishes    standards   for   computing   and   presenting
earnings-per-share, and is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, earlier  application is not permitted . SFAS No.
128  requires  the  restatement  of all  prior  period  earnings-per-share  data
presented.



                                                                             F-9



                           GREENMAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)


1.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)

        In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income". SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after Decemver 15,
1997. Accounting  principles generally require all recognized  revenue,expenses,
gainds  and  losses to be  included  in net  income.  Various  FASB  statements,
however,  require  companies to report certain changes in assets and liabilities
as a separate  component  of the equity  section  of the  balance  sheet such as
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale  securities,  foreign currency
items and  minimum  pension  liability  adjustments.  These items along with net
income, are components of comprehensive income.

        It is requried under SFAS No. 130 that all items of comprehensive income
are to be reported in a "financial  statement"  that is displayed  with the same
prominence as other financial  statements.  Additionally,  SFAS No. 130 requires
the  classification  of items  comprising  other  comprehensive  income by their
nauture,  and the  accumulated  balance of other  comprehensive  income  must be
displayed  separately  from retained  earnings and additional paid in capital in
the  equity  section  of the  balance  sheet.  Management  will  adopt  this new
disclosure requirement beginning in the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999.

        Also in June 1997,  the FASB  isssued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  about
Segments of an Enterprise  and Related  Information".  SFAS No. 131 is effective
for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No.
131 establishes  standards for the way that public companies report  information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It
also establishes  standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic  areas and  major  customers.  Generally,  financial  information  is
required to be reported on the basis that it is used  internally  for evaluating
segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

        SFAS No. 131 also requires companies to report information about the way
that the operating  segments were determined,  the product and services provided
by  the  operating  segments,  differences  between  the  measurements  used  in
reporting  segment  information  and those used by the  Company  in its  general
purpose financial statements,  and changes in the measurement of segment amounts
from  period to  period.  Management  has not yet  determined  the  impact  that
adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have on its financial statement presentation.


2.      ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY

        On October 10, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  common
stock of DuraWear Corporation.  The purchase price consisted of $400,000 in cash
from the proceeds of the Company's  initial  public  offering  (IPO") and 75,000
shares of the  Company's  common  stock,  valued in the aggregate at $375,000 or
$5.00 per share.  The  acquisition  has been  accounted  for as a  purchase  and
accordingly,  the  results  of  operations  of  DuraWear  are  included  in  the
consolidated  financial  statements since the date of acquisition.  Goodwill was
recorded as the total  consideration paid by the Company exceeded the fair value
of the net assets of  DuraWear  by  approximately  $498,000.  Goodwill  is being
amortized over 10 years on a straight line basis.  Amortization  expense for the
years ended May 31, 1996 and 1997 was $33,232 and $49,848, respectively.




                                                                            F-10

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)



2.      ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY - (CONTINUED)

        In  connection  with the  acquisition,  the Company  also entered into a
three-year  non-competition  agreement  with  the  former  sole  stockholder  of
DuraWear,  under which the Company issued 70,000 shares of the Company's  common
stock  valued in the  aggregate  at $350,000  or $5.00 per share.  The amount is
being  amortized  over the  term of the  agreement  on a  straight  line  basis.
Amortization  expense  for the years ended May 31, 1996 and 1997 was $77,778 and
$116,667,  respectively.The  Company  also  entered  into a one-year  consulting
agreement  with the former sole  stockholder  of DuraWear in  consideration  for
which the Company has paid a total of $20,000.


        The following  unaudited proforma financial  information  summarizes the
consolidated  results  of  operations  of the  Company  and  DuraWear  as if the
acquisition  had occurred at the  beginning of the year ended May 31, 1995.  The
unaudited  proforma  information  is not  necessarily  indicative  either of the
results of operations that would have occurred had the purchase been made at the
beginning of the fiscal year or of future  results of operations of the combined
companies.

Net loss per weighted average share         $      (.30)         $      (.38)


3.      NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL


        The  Company  has  incurred  losses  since  its  inception   aggregating
$10,704,933, and has a working capital deficiency of $3,016,098 at May 31, 1997.
The working capital deficit  includes  $1,200,000 of convertible  debentures and
approximately  $434,000  relating to the  reclassification  of certain long term
capital  lease  obligations  to current as several  leases are in  default.  The
Company is currently  working with the lessor to bring its  obligations  current
and has not  received any written or verbal  notice of the lessors  intention to
enforce the default  provisons.  These conditions raise  substantial doubt about
the Company's  ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company's  continued
existence is dependent on its ability to achieve profitable operations and raise
additional  financing.  Management plans to resolve the doubt by raising capital
through additional equity financing. The Company is currently evaluating several
equity financing  alternatives that may provide  sufficient capital resources to
sustain operations. As a result, management believes that no further adjustments
or  reclassifications  of recorded  assets and  liabilities is necessary at this
time.


4.      INVENTORY

Inventory consists of the following at May 31:

6.      EQUIPMENT DEPOSITS

        In October  1995,  the  Company  placed a purchase  order for  cryogenic
recycling  equipment  and placed a 50% or $700,000  deposit  with the  equipment
manufacturer  for cryogenic  recycling  equipment  line.  From March 1996 to May
1996, the first cryogenic  recycling  equipment line was delivered and installed
and the Company paid an additional  $1,100,000 towards the purchase of the first
line and additional cryogenic recycling equipment lines.


        During the first half of fiscal 1997, the company refined the production
process of the  cryogenic  recycling  equipment  and  evaluated  the  production
capabilities  of the facility.  Based upon the cryogenic  recycling  equipment's
capacity  to  produce  ultra-fine  mesh crumb  rubber,  the  Company  decided to
redeploy  the  equipment  into a  joint  venture  with  the  original  equipment
manufacturer.

        As a result of the  Company's  decision to refocus its  resources on the
opportunities  for  "high-value-added"  crumb  rubber,  the  limitations  of the
Company's   existing  cryogenic   recycling   equipment  to  produce  sufficient
quantities of fine mesh crumb rubber,  the risks associated with a startup joint
venture,  and the Company's minority interest in the joint venture,  the Company
wrote down the  carrying  value of the  equipment to the  equipment's  estimated
liquidation  value.  Accordingly,  the Company recorded a $1,000,000  impairment
loss in fiscal 1997 against the  Company's  deposit on the  cryogenic  recycling
equipment  pursuant to SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets  and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be  Disposed  Of".  This  write-down  was
effected at May 31, 1997 even though the Company  subsequently  contributed  the
equipment  as its capital  contribution  to a joint  venture  with the  original
equipment  manufacturer.  The  manufacturer  has  agreed to  contribute  certain
facilities,  equipment,  customer  contracts,  licenses  and permits and provide
operational and technical  expertise to the joint venture The original equipment
manufacturer has also agreed to refund $300,000 of the equipment deposits during
the fiscal year ended May 31, 1998.


        The  Company  also has  $62,711 on deposit  towards  the  purchase  of a
material handling system which has a total cost of $72,711.

7.      NOTE RECEIVABLE


        In May 1996,  the  Company  loaned  $150,000 to Air  Fenders,  LTD ("Air
Fenders")  in the form of a three- year,  unsecured  loan,  bearing  interest at
prime  (8.5% at May 31,  1997).  Based upon a  significant  delay in Air Fenders
securing  sufficient  capital and customer orders and the costs  associated with
Air Fenders decision to transition from in-house  manufacturing  capabilities to
utilizing  contract  molding  vendors,  the  Company  has  provided  a  $150,000
allowance for the potential future uncollectibility of the Air Fenders loan.


8.      LICENSING FEE


        In April 1996, the Company signed a perpetual  license  agreement with a
private R&D company under which it acquired the exclusive  world-wide rights and
license to use a proprietary  additive  technology  for  co-mingling  (mixing or
blending)  of  dissimilar  plastics  and rubber.  The  Company  paid a one-time,
$100,000  licensing fee at signing of the  agreement and no additional  fees are
due for the  manufacture  of the  Company's  own  products.  The  Company may be
required  to pay a 3% royalty fee on the sale of blended  material  for use as a
raw  material.  The Company is  amortizing  the  license  fee over an  estimated
ten-year useful life of the technology.  Amortization expense for the year ended
May 31, 1997 was $8,333.

 Bridge Financing

        The  Company  borrowed  $233,000  during  the period  September  1992 to
December 1992 from Budra Management Corp. ("Budra"). The unsecured notes payable
required interest at a stated annual rate of 10% with principal and interest due
on the closing of the Company's IPO and in addition granted Budra 100,000 shares

which was the IPO price of the  common  stock.  Interest  expense  for the years
ended May 31,1995 and 1996 amounted to $295,445 and $94,419 respectively.


                                                                            F-12

convertible  subordinated debentures  ("Debentures") and immediately exercisable
one year  warrants  to purchase  762,500  shares of common  stock (the  "January
Offering")  at an  exercise  price  of  $1.25  per  share.  The  Debentures  are
convertible  after a sixty day holding  period into shares of common  stock at a
conversion  price equal to the lower of the closing bid price on the date of the
January  Offering  closing or 70% of the  closing bid price on the date prior to
the conversion of such  Debentures.  The Debentures  automatically  convert into
shares of common stock one year after issuance.  The Company  recorded  non-cash
deferred  financing  costs of $75,000 in  connection  with the  issuance  of the
warrants to purchase 762,500 shares.  The net proceeds from the January Offering
were  approximately  $1,310,000  after  deducting  commissions  and  expenses of
approximately   $214,000.   The  Company  has  recorded  a  deferred  charge  of
approximately  $654,000  associated  with the 30%  discount  from  market  to be
realized upon conversion.  The Company also recorded non-cash deferred financing
costs of  $695,000  in  connection  with the  issuance  of  warrants to purchase
1,050,000 shares of common stock to the placement agents in accordance with SFAS

to $1.25 per share with 600,000  warrants  expiring in December 1999 and 450,000
expiring in January 1998.  The deferred  charges are being  amortized to expense
over the estimated  life of the  convertible  notes.  Amortization  and interest
expense on the debentures for the year ended May 31, 1997 was $1,396,953.

        As of May 31, 1997,  $825,000 of the  Debentures  had been converted for
1,249,813  shares of the  Company's  common  stock.  During  the  period of June
through  July 1997,  the  remaining  $700,000  of the January  1997  convertible
debentures  were converted for 1,243,384  shares of the Company's  common stock.
These shares were  registered on Form S-3 which was declared  effective in March
1997.

        In  April  1997,  the  Company   concluded  a  $1,500,000   offering  of
convertible  subordinated  debentures  due  eighteen  months  after  closing and
immediately  exercisable two year warrants to purchase  300,000 shares of common
stock (the "April  Offering") at exercise prices ranging from $.97 to $1.05. The
debentures  are  convertible  after a sixty day  holding  period  into shares of
common  stock at a  conversion  price  equal to the lower of the  closing of the
average  closing bid price on the five  trading days  preceding  the date of the
April Offering or 70% of the average  closing bid price on the five trading days
preceding the date of the conversion of such debentures.  The debenture  holders
will receive 4,000 shares of the Company's  common stock upon conversion in lieu
of interest for each $100,000 invested. The net proceeds from the April Offering
were  approximately  $1,247,000  after  deducting  commissions  and  expenses of
approximately $253,000. The Company also issued immediately exercisable two year
warrants to purchase 154,839 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.97
per share to the placement agents. The Company has recorded a deferred charge of
approximately  $643,000  associated  with the  impact of the 30%  discount  from
market to be realized  upon  conversion.  The  Company  also  recorded  non-cash
deferred  financing costs of $64,600 in connection with the issuance of warrants
to purchase 454,839 shares of common stock to the investors and placement agents
in accordance  with SFAS No. 123. These deferred  charges are being amortized to
expense over the estimated life of the convertible notes. As of May 31, 1997, no
debentures had been converted.  Amortization expense and interest expense on the
debentures  for the year ended May 31, 1997 was $323,742.  Pursuant to the terms

1997 to register the shares of common stock underlying the potential  conversion
of the debentures,  the payment of interest and the warrants to purchase 454,839
shares  of  common  stock.  If the Form  S-3 is not  declared  effective  by the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")  within sixty days after the April
Offering  closing the Company is  required  to pay the  investors  .25% of their
principal  investment  per month as a penalty for each month or portion  thereof
prior to the date the Form S-3 is declared  effective.  The Form S-3 has not yet
been declared effective by the SEC.

        At May  31,  1997,  the  Company  is five  months  past  due on  several
injection  molding equipment leases and pursuant to the terms of the lease is in
default.  Past due  principal  payments  at May 31, 1997  amounted to  $138,740.
Accordingly,  the lessor has the right  demand the  payment of all  amounts  due
under the past due lease  agreements.  The Company is currently working with the
lessor to payoff the past due amounts and has not received any  notification  of
the lessor's  intent to exercise  any of the default  remedies  available.  As a
result of the  default,  the Company has  classified  all payments due under the
affected leases as current liabilities at May 31, 1997.


        The following is a schedule of the future  minimum lease  payments under
the capital leases together with the present value of net minimum lease payments
at May 31, 1997:

has built a tire recycling  facility on the leased land at a cost of $902,000 as

tire  material per year  starting  October 1, 1996 at a base price of $37.50 per
ton. Due to the delay in crumb rubber  production at the Company's  Georgia tire
recycling  facility,  BTG agreed to: (1) reduce the per ton  obligation to 7,050
tons of tire material for the period of March 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996; and
(2) reduce the per ton charge by 50% from October 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997.
 The Company is  obligated  to pay for the higher of : (1) the number of tons of
crumb rubber  produced at the Company's  recycling  facility;  or (2) 75% of the
amount of material  accepted,  as determined on a monthly basis.  This agreement
was terminated as a result of the Company's acquisition of BTG. (See Note 20).

        In December  1996,  the Company  entered  into a  three-year  employment
agreement  with its President of  Tire/Rubber  Operations at $125,000 per annum.
Any  increases  or  bonuses  will be  made at the  discretion  of the  Board  of

consultant seeking,  among other things,  additional consulting fees, as well as
royalties  relating to the  Company's  alleged  use of a  cryogenic  process for
recovering crumb rubber that the consultant alleges he developed. The Company is
contesting  the  lawsuit  vigorously.  Management  believes  that  even  if  the
consultant  were to prevail in this suit, it would not have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements or its business.

Stock-Based Compensation


        At May 31, 1997, the Company has two stock-based  compensation plans and
stock  options  issued  outside of the plans,  which are  described  above.  The
Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for
stock options issued to employees and directors.  Had the compensation  cost for
the Company's  stock options issued to employees and directors  been  determined
based on the fair value at the grant dates  consistent  with SFAS No.  123,  the
Company's  net loss and net loss per share  would have been  adjusted to the pro
forma amounts indicated below:

                                           Years Ended May 31,

        Common stock equivalents have been excluded form all calculations of net
loss per share because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive.


        The fair value of each option  grant under the Plan is  estimated on the
date of grant using the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model with the following
weighted average assumptions used for grants during the years ended May 31, 1996
and 1997,respectively; dividend yield of 0%; risk-free interest rate of 5.5% and
5.5%; expected volatility of 20% and expected lives of 5 years.

        Weighted  average  assumptions  used in  valuing  stock  options  issued
outside of the plans  during the year ended May 31,  1996 and  1997,respectively
were dividend  yield of 0%; risk-free  interest rate of 5.5% and 5.5%;  expected
volatility of 20% and 20%; expected lives of 5 years.

        During  the years  ended  May 31,  1994 and 1995,  the  Company  accrued
consulting fees relating to consulting  agreements with its  non-salaried  chief
financial officer and non-salaried  chief executive officer amounting to $60,000
and $72,000,  respectively.  In April 1995,  the Company  issued common stock in
payment of the accrued consulting fees.


        During the year ended May 31,  1996,  the Company paid  consulting  fees
relating to consulting  agreements with its non-salaried chief financial officer
and non-salaried  chief executive officer  amounting to $18,000 each.  Effective
with the Company's IPO, the Company executed  three-year  employment  agreements
with its Chairman, President and Chief Financial Officer.


18.     INCOME TAXES

        There was no  provision  for  income  taxes for the years  ended May 31,
1995, 1996 and 1997 due to the Company's net operating  losses and its valuation
reserve  against  deferred  tax assets.  The  difference  between the  statutory
federal  income  tax  rate of 34% and  the  Company's  effective  tax  rates  is
primarily due to net operating  losses incurred by the Company and the valuation
reserve against the Company's deferred tax assets.

        As of May 31, 1997, the Company has net operating loss  carryforwards of
approximately $6,960,000. The Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards
expire in varying amounts beginning in 2008 and 1998, respectively. In addition,
the  Company  has  Federal tax credit  carryforwards  of  approximately  $17,000
available to reduce future tax liabilities. The Federal tax credit carryforwards
expire beginning in 2008.

        Use of net  operating  loss and tax credit  carryforwards  is subject to
annual  limitations  based on ownership changes in the Company's common stock as
defined by the Internal Revenue Code.



                                                                            F-23

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)


19.     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.


        At May 31, 1996, the Company's financial  instruments  included the loan
receivable, related party (see Note 5), a note receivable (see Note 7) and notes
payable  (see Notes 10 and 11).  The  carrying  amounts of the loan  receivable,
related  party  approximates  its fair value based on its  collection in full on
June 26, 1996. The carrying  amount of the note receivable and the notes payable
approximate  their fair  values as these  instruments  bear  interest  at market
rates.

        At May 31, 1997, the Company's  financial  instruments  consist of notes
payable to related  parties and banks and  convertible  notes payable to related
parties  and  other  investors.  Notes  payable  to banks  and  related  parties
approximate  their fair  values as these  instruments  bear  interest  at market
rates. The fair value of the $4,040,000 in convertible notes payable outstanding
is approximately $5,103,000 based on the fair value of the common stock issuable
on conversion of the notes.

20.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On  June  30,  1997,  GreenMan   Acquisition   Corporation   ("GAC"),  a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the capital stock of each
of BFI Tire Recyclers of Minnesota,  Inc. ("BTM"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
Browning-Ferris Industries of Minnesota, Inc. ("BFIM") and BFI Tire Recyclers of
Georgia, Inc. ("BTG"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Browning -Ferris Industries
of Georgia,  Inc. ("BFIG") (the "Acquisition").  The Company was also granted an
exclusive option to purchase certain assets (including  certain contract rights)
of BFI's Ford Heights, Illinois tire recycling operation. BFIG and BFIM are both
wholly-owned  subsidiaries of Browning Ferris Industries,  Inc. BTM and BTG have
been renamed GreenMan Technologies of Minnesota,  Inc. and GreenMan Technologies
of Georgia, Inc.,  respectively and, together with the Company's existing rubber
recycling group will constitute the Company's Recycling division. As a result of
the Acquisition,  the Company's obligations under the Take or Pay Agreement were
eliminated. (See Note 13).

        The Company paid  approximately  $5,331,000 for the acquisition of which
$650,000  has been paid to BFI at May 31,  1997 as a deposit and the balance was
financed by a short-term  loan , at an interest  rate of prime plus 2% (10.5% at
June 30, 1997) from BFI to GAC, which loan must be repaid by September 30, 1997.
The repayment of such loan is guaranteed by the Company and is secured by all of
the assets  acquired  and by a pledge by GAC of all of the capital  stock of BTG
and BTM. The Company  anticipates  refinancing  such loans prior to maturity but
has not yet  received  any  commitments.  No  assurances  can be given that such
financing will be concluded prior to the maturity, if at all.




                                                                            F-24
