USA BIOMASS CORPORATIONNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAs of September 30, 2000For the Nine Months Periods Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

1.   Discontinued Operations

On December 22, 1998, the Company adopted a plan to dispose of its agribusiness and real estate operations. In October 1999, the Company transferred
substantially all of its remaining real estate assets and related liabilities to AMCOR Financial Corp. (AFC), a then wholly owned subsidiary. In January 2000, the Company distributed to its common and preferred shareholders all of its AFC
common shares. The Company has disputes with AFC regarding the nature and amount of assets and liabilities transferred to AFC. Further, all the regulatory requirements related to the distribution of the AFC shares to the Companys shareholders may
not have been satisfied. As a result, the Company continues to record its investment related to these real estate assets as net assets of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets.

At September 30, 2000, the remaining assets of the discontinued operations are the Companys receivable from a partnership that owned a golf
course sold in foreclosure in February 2000, certain housing development land in Texas, and a 50% interest in PS III Farms, LLC, which owns 6,490 acres that it leases to a limited liability company owned by the other 50% venture partner. The real estate
assets have been pledged as collateral on notes payable on which the Company is primarily liable totaling $3,181,000 at September 30, 2000, which is included in the net assets of discontinued operations. The lender that foreclosed upon the golf course
property notified the Company that a deficiency of $2,400,000 exists after the foreclosure and in April 2000 filed a related lawsuit. The parties have mutually agreed to settle the matter and negotiations are now in process.

2.   Loss per Common Share

Basic and diluted loss per common share have been computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares for the period. Loss available to common stockholders is the loss after adding to the loss any preferred stock dividend requirements. The additional common shares that would be issuable for options and warrants outstanding are ignored, as to
include them in the calculation of diluted loss per share would be antidilutive.

The computations of basic and diluted loss per common share are as follows:

3.   Business Segments

SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Each of these operating segments is considered a reportable segment. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to
them based on revenue and EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other nonoperating income and expense.

4.   Acquisition of American Waste Transport

In March 2000, the Company  agreed to acquire substantially all of the outstanding shares of American West Transport (AWT) for cash in
the amount of $750,000.00 and up to one million shares of the Companys common stock, subject to certain contingencies and the resolution of certain pending issues which related to the acquisition value of AWT. AWT has failed to perform its
obligations as specified in the acquisition agreement. Moreover, management of the Company believes that certain material facts, not disclosed to the Company prior to the acquisition, materially and adversely affect the acquisition value of AWT. Based
upon AWTs failure to disclose material information to the Company and AWTs failure to perform its obligations as specified in the acquisition agreement, management of the company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company
to cancel those 1,0
00,000 shares of the Companys common stock which were issued but which are being held in escrow. Fred and Linda Alexander have filed a complaint against the Company in U.S. District Court alleging violation of Federal Securities Law, the California
Corporation Code, fraud, breaches of contract and wrongful termination. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action and file a cross complaint against the Alexanders.



The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations are presented as if the acquisition of AWT had taken place at January 1, 2000
and 1999.

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

Overview

The Companys operations at September 30, 2000 included: (i) clean green waste processing and recycling (biomass) and
(ii) contract waste transport services. During 1997, the Companys focus shifted from agribusiness and land planning/development to biomass. Subsequently, in June 1998, the Company broadened its new focus to include solid waste transportation and
developed a strategic alliance with Waste Management, Inc., formerly USA Waste Services (Waste Management). During the second half of 1998, in light of the Companys strategic alliance with Waste Management and related existing and
potential biomass and solid waste transportation opportunities, the Companys Board of Directors determined that the Companys shift in focus from agribusiness and land planning/development to solid waste transportation and biomass should be
complete and perma
nent. Consequently, the Board of Directors approved the Companys name change effective August 31, 1998 and subsequently, on December 22, 1998 adopted a Plan of Discontinued Operations (the Plan) pursuant to which the Company will
discontinue its agribusiness and land planning/development activities and will focus on its solid waste transportation and biomass activities. In addition, on January 12, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Companys fiscal year end
to December 31.

Implementation of the Plan has had a material impact on the presentation of the Companys financial statements. All business activity, cash
flows and net assets of these operations for the year ended December 31, 1999, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 have been classified as discontinued operations, and the assets of these operations have been reduced to the lower of cost or
net realizable value.

Results of Operations

The Companys continuing operations consist of solid waste transportation and biomass activities, which include green waste recycling. The
Company sold its unprofitable municipal tree maintenance operations in March 1999. The Companys discontinued operations consist of agribusiness and land planning/development. A discussion of the material factors that affected the Companys
results of continuing operations and, where applicable, the results of its discontinued operations, are presented separately below.

Results of Continuing Operations

Revenues

The Companys revenues from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, reflect exclusively its biomass activities and
waste transport revenue, whereas revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, also reflect $363,000 of revenues from tree maintenance operations which were sold late in the first quarter, 1999. Revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2000 were $4,948,000, which included $2,665,000 of third quarter revenues from the acquisition of American Waste Transport (AWT) in March 2000, and were up significantly (152%) from $1,965,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999.
Overall, revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2000 were $13,269,000, up 126% from revenues of $5,869,000 for the comparable prior nine month period, which increase included $6,716,000 of revenue from AWT. The Company expects revenues to
continue to inc
rease in fiscal 2000 as the transportation division revenues grow both internally as new contracts and customers are phased in, and as the Company expands its biomass operations and from acquisitions, such as AWT.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues (excluding $679,000 of depreciation) of $4,103,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, were up $2,919,000 (247%) from
$1,184,000 for the comparable three month period ending September 30, 1999, mainly from internal growth in biomass activities, and from the acquisition of AWT which generated a comparable 152% increase in revenues and increased fuel costs as fuel
increased $.50/gallon during the quarter. This resulted in a gross profit from operations (excluding depreciation) of $845,000 (17.0%) compared to $781,000 (39.2%) for the prior years three month period. For the nine months ending September  30,
2000 cost of revenues  (excluding 1,609,000 of depreciation) were $10,895,000, up $6,628,000 (155%) from the prior nine month period, due largely from the AWT acquisition which resulted in revenues increasing 126% for the nine month period and increased
fuel costs as fuel
increased $.50/gallon during the quarter. Overall, the nine months ended September 30,

---

2000, generated a gross profit (before depreciation) of $2,374,000 (17.9%) compared to a gross profit of $1,602,000 (27.3%) the prior nine month period. Management expects margins to improve in future periods, as cost savings
are realized through the elimination of duplicate facilities and personnel related to the AWT acquisition, which will be reflected in the fourth quarter but has no assurance that fuel costs will not continue to increase.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2000, total general and administrative expenses of $730,000 compared to $759,000 for the comparable three
month period ending September 30, 1999, the 3.8% decrease  related to the effect of reductions due to the elimination of duplicate facilities and personnel. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2000, total general and administrative expense of
$2,022,000 as compared to $1,623,000 the prior nine month period, up 24.7% due to the acquisition of AWT, which resulted in revenues increasing 126% for the nine month period.

Settlement Gain

During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company realized no settlement gain based on proceeds received from the settlement of a lawsuit
in late 1999. The total settlement gain for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 was $157,000. There was no such gain in the comparable 1999 periods.

Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income

For the three months ended September  30, 2000, interest expense, net of interest income was $277,000, an increase of $179,000 (183%) from the
comparable three month period ending September 30, 1999 due to additional installment debt from the acquisition of AWT. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, interest expense was $611,000, compared to $800,000 for the comparable nine month
period ended September 30, 1999, the 23.6% decrease in interest due largely to the Companys 42% reduction in debt during 1999.

Results from Continuing Operations

For the three months ended September 30, the Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $841,000 compared to a net loss of $299,000 for
the comparable three month period ending September 30, 1999. This increase is due to increased depreciation and interest from the AWT acquisition and additional capital expenditures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the loss from continuing
operations was $1,711,000, compared to a loss of $1,211,000 the comparable prior nine month period ended September 30, 1999. The current years loss is due from increased fuel costs, additional depreciation from the acquisition of AWT and unexpected
losses in the operations acquired from AWT. Management has taken steps to cut costs and also has increased rates in an effort to be profitable in the near future. The prior years loss was largely due to lower revenues not sufficient to absorb fixed
costs,
as the Companys new biomass business was operating below capacity. The prior years loss also included a $400,000 credit for estimated remediation costs.

Results of Discontinued Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2000, results from discontinued operations were zero, the comparable three month period ending September 30,
1999 had a loss of $198,000, mainly due to the additional accrual of all operating losses for discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companys overall financial condition as of September 30, 2000, as compared to December 31, 1999, has improved considerably with
shareholders equity increasing over $2.0 million to $2.2 million, due primarily to the issuance of $3 million of new preferred stock. During 1999, total debt was reduced by $8.3 million (42%) to $11.4 million, which has yielded
significant interest savings. (The acquisition of AWT combined with the purchase of additional equipment did cause total debt to increase to $19.1 million at September 30, 2000.) In addition, revenues from expanding biomass operations increased 126%
over the comparable prior nine month period exceeding all of 1999s revenues which were $7.6 million. This increase is largely due to the acquisition of AWT which, when consolidated with the Company, should generate revenues at the annual rate
exceedi
ng $18 million., and with improving margins, should generate adequate funds for operations. For example, for the nine months ended

---

September 30, 2000, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) was $509,000 compared to $415,000 the comparable prior nine month period, a 22.7% increase. Margins may continue to improve, as an
estimated $l million of cost reductions are realized through the elimination of duplicate facilities and personnel functions related to the AWT acquisition. However, management has no assurances that fuel prices and other operating costs will not continue
to increase. Management has increased rates in an effort to offset these increases. Moreover, USA Biomass now has a contractual backlog in place approximating $350 million with terms generally exceeding 10 years or longer, ensuring consistent revenue for
future periods.

The Companys current ratio, at .48  has not improved from .66 at December 31, 1999. This is primarily due to over $1.4 million of term notes
becoming current in the first and second quarter, which the Company intends to refinance during 2000 including the expenditure of $1,000,000 for capital equipment. However, liquidity may improve during 2000 as a result of the following: (i) the intense
management of cash flow; (ii) the Company is currently negotiating to significantly expand both senior and/or subordinated debt to fund working capital related to the Companys large contract backlog; (iii) the Company has tax-loss carry-forwards
exceeding $22 million which can be applied to shelter future earnings thereby enhancing cash flow, and (iv) the Company intends to, where appropriate, make acquisitions using its common stock for the generation of earnings and cash flow. It is for the
foregoing reas
ons that the Company believes that its liquidity needs for the year 2000 will be sufficiently satisfied. Moreover, with its discontinued operations now partially liquidated, the Company has strategically positioned itself to profitably capitalize on the
numerous opportunities now available in the biomass industry.

Year 2000 Compliance

To date management of the Company believes that its software packages currently in use are Year 2000 compliant. Management does not expect that the
financial impact of required modification to such software, if any, will be material to the Companys financial position, cash flows or results of operations in any given year.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

In December 1997, a judgment was entered against the Company and two of its officers, who are also shareholders. The Company has filed an appeal of
this judgment.

On April 5, 2000, a bank filed a lawsuit against the Company related to a deficiency pertaining to real property the bank foreclosed on in Texas
which are part of its discontinued operations. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit and believes that it has recorded its liability related thereto in its financial statement. Based on recent negotiations with the bank, the
Company believes the matter will be completely settled during the fourth quarter and, in any event, the Company does not expect that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Fred and Linda Alexander have filed a complaint against the Company in U.S. District Court alleging violation of Federal Securities Law, the
California Corporation Code, fraud, breaches of contract and wrongful termination. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action and file a cross complaint against the Alexanders.

The Company is not involved in any other pending legal proceedings other than legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. Such
other legal proceedings in the aggregate are believed by management to be immaterial.
