ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Management of
Environmental Solutions & Technology Corp. (a development stage company) as of
March 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 2002, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, and for the
period from December 10, 1997 (inception) to March 31, 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by
us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our report dated August
29, 2002. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company has been in the development stage since its
inception on December 10, 1997 and has had recurring losses and no revenues.
The Company's decision is to perfect its technological application before
entering the market. Realization of a major portion of the assets is dependent
upon the Company's ability to meet its future financing requirements and the
success of future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding
those matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS
& TECHNOLOGY CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
Management of Environmental Solutions & Technology Corp. was formed to develop
a proprietary technology for drying and treating animal manure and sludge to be
used as fertilizer. The "Company" ("MEST") was incorporated in Colorado on
December 10, 1997, followed by reorganization as a Delaware corporation on
December 18, 1997.
On December 26, 1997, the Company obtained all of the outstanding common stock
of STB Corporation, a shell corporation domiciled in Colorado, by issuing 175
shares of the Company's common stock. Because STB Corporation had no assets or
operations, the Company recorded the transaction at the initial deemed valued
of the stock conveyed ($175), which was consistent with the deemed value of the
Company's stock issued in its immediately precedent initial transaction. In
the year subsequent to the acquisition, STB Corporation was administratively
dissolved.
On April 9, 1998, the Company issued 1,920,000 shares of its common stock to
its president in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of MEST,
B.V., a Netherlands corporation, owned by the Company's president. Although
MEST, B.V. had no recorded assets at the time of the transaction, the Company
recorded the acquisition at a nominal value of $0.01 per share. The aggregate
acquisition cost of $20,000, originally assigned to intangible assets, was
substantially written off by the end of 1998. Currently, MEST, B.V. is used to
conduct the Company's business in the Netherlands. MEST, B.V. was acquired
because it had certain data and technical information that the Company plans to
use in its business.
The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research ("TNO"), staffed
by 5,000 professionals, is one of Europe's leading contract research
organizations. Using proprietary technology developed by TNO, the Company and
TNO formed a corporation known as Manure and Sludge Technology, B.V. ("MSTec")
for the purpose of developing a process for use on a commercial basis that
would economically refine manure and sludge into pellets, which could be sold
as organic fertilizer and other products. MSTec, a Netherlands corporation, is
owned 50 percent by the Company and 50 percent by TNO.
The Company's year end is December 31.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Development Stage Activities
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation in December
of 1997, and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It
is engaged in the business of manufacturing, distributing, and selling
fertilizer products.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the use
of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.
Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash, accrued expenses and payables, and loans payable
approximate their fair value. MEST's notes payable approximate the fair value
of such instruments based upon management's best estimate of interest rates
that would be available to MEST for a similar financial arrangement at March
31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. The
cost of intellectual property purchased from others that is immediately
marketable or that has an alternative future use is capitalized as intangible
assets. The Company periodically reviews its capitalized patent costs to
assess recoverability based on the projected undiscounted cash flows from
operations. Impairments are recognized in operating results when a permanent
diminution in value occurs.
The Company constructed a testing facility during 1999 in Apeldoorn, The
Netherlands at a cost of approximately $450,000. These costs were expensed as
research and development during the year ended December 31, 1999.

Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No.
133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities", which is effective for the Company as of January
1, 2001. This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a
hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss
recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes
in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the
hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction.
For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is
recognized in income in the period of change.
From November 1, 1999 to February 17, 2000, the Company entered into a small
number of foreign currency purchases for cash management purposes. The results
of these short-term transactions, which generated an aggregate loss of $7,124
in 1999 and an aggregate gain of $4,262 in 2000, are included in Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) as an element of foreign currency translation
earnings. The Company engaged in no similar foreign currency purchases either
prior to or subsequent to the aforementioned time frame.
Compensated Absences
Currently, the Company has no employees; therefore, no policy regarding
compensated absences has been established. The Company will establish a policy
to recognize the costs of compensated absences at the point in time that it has
employees.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in the design,
development, and printing of Company literature and marketing materials. The
Company expenses all advertising expenditures as incurred.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting
pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach,
deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future
years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is
recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company
has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow
recognition of such an asset.
At March 31, 2002, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately
$860,000, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income
tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more
likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred
tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been
established at March 31, 2002.
At March 31, 2002, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $5,800,000, which expire in the years 2017 through 2022. The
Company recognized approximately $3,000,000 of losses for the issuance of
common stock options for services, which are not deductible for tax purposes,
and are not included in the above calculation of deferred tax asset.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average
number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and
weighting them by the amount of time they were outstanding. Outstanding
options and convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation of
diluted loss per share because the exercise price of the outstanding options is
higher than the market price of the stock, thereby causing the options to be
antidilutive.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues,
has incurred a net loss of $52,765 for the three months ended March 31, 2002,
has an accumulated deficit of $5,800,682 and has had no sales. The future of
the Company is dependent upon successful and profitable operations from
manufacturing, distributing, and selling its fertilizer products. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue in existence.

Going Concern (continued)
Management has established plans designed to promote the sales of the Company's
product. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity
securities offerings that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund
internal growth and fully implement its business plan.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MEST and its
wholly owned subsidiary, MEST, B.V. after elimination of intercompany accounts
and transactions. Manure and Sludge Technology, B.V. ("MSTec"), a 50 percent
owned corporation, is reflected in the financial statements on the equity
method of accounting, and not included in the financial statements as an entity
subject to consolidation.
Accounting for Stock Options Granted to Employees and Nonemployees
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), defines a fair value-based method of
accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. The Company has
adopted this method, which measures compensation costs based on the estimated
fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the service period.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2002, included
herein have not been audited, at the request of the Company. They reflect all
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
fairly the results of operations for the period. All such adjustments are
normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the period
presented is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full fiscal year.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a statement,
SFAS No. 121, titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets," which
has been replaced by SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." In complying with this standard, the Company reviews its
long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in
circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its
assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing
the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to
their respective carrying amounts.
The Company does not believe any adjustments are needed to the carrying value
of its assets at March 31, 2002.

Comprehensive Income
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130), which was issued in June 1997. SFAS 130
establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components. The effect of the adoption of SFAS 130 is reflected in the
accompanying financial statements and included under the headings "Other
Comprehensive Loss."
Foreign Currency Translation Gains/Losses
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 52. Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United
States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Gains
or losses are included in income for the year, except gains or losses related
to long-term debt which are deferred and amortized over the remaining term of
the debt. Non-montary assets, liabilities and items recorded in income arising
from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of
exchange in effect at the date of the transaction.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and
equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, which range from three to ten years. See Note 4.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in several Netherlands financial institutions.
These financial institutions are considered credit worthy and have not
experienced any losses on deposits at March 31, 2002. The funds are valued in
U.S. dollars and are fully insured.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 44,
and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", which
updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. FASB No.
4, which required all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt to be
aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of
related tax effect was rescinded, as a result, FASB 64, which amended FASB 4,
was rescinded as it was no longer necessary. FASB 145 amended FASB 13 to
eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback
transaction and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that
have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions.
Management has not yet determined the effects of adopting this Statement on the
financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144). SFAS 144 replaces SFAS 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of." This new standard establishes a single accounting model
for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued
operations. Statement 144 required that these long-lived assets be measured at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported
in continuing operations or discontinued operations. This statement is
effective beginning for fiscal years after December 15, 2001, with earlier
application encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS 144 and does not believe that
the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements of the
Company at March 31, 2002.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" (SFAS No. 143). SFAS No. 143 establishes guidelines related to
the retirement of tangible long-lived assets of the Company and the associated
retirement costs. This statement required that the fair value of a liability
for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated
asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the
long-lived assets. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and with earlier application
encouraged. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 and does not believe that the
adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company
at March 31, 2002.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 provides for the
elimination of the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business
combinations with an acquisition date of July 1, 2001 or later. SFAS No. 142
prohibits the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with
indefinite lives and requires periodic reassessment of the underlying value of
such assets for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. An early adoption provision exists for
companies with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. The Company does
not have assets with indeterminate lives.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets with Extinguishment of Liabilities." This
statement provides accounting and reporting standard for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities and also
provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets
that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. SFAS No. 140 is
effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for
disclosures related to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2000, and is effective for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after March 31, 2001. The Company believes that the adoptions of this standard
will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial positions.
Reclassification
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes

NOTE 7 - JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT IN MANURE AND SLUDGE TECHNOLOGY, B.V.
Manure and Sludge Technology, B.V. (hereinafter "MSTec") is a Netherlands
corporation that was formed for the purpose of developing a process for use on
a commercial basis that would economically dry and pasteurize manure and sludge
into pellets that could be sold as organic fertilizer and other products.
Since its inception, MST has refined its technological process for use with
other waste products such as bio-solids, fish and food waste, and paper pulp.
MEST owns 50 percent of the common stock of MSTec, and accounts for MSTec on
the equity method. The other 50 percent of MSTec's common stock is owned by
The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research ("TNO"), the
largest single research facility in Europe employing over five thousand
professionals.
MEST's investment in the joint venture is recorded as $0 on MEST's balance
sheet because MSTec's debt and losses exceeds MEST's share of investment in the
joint venture. MEST's investment in the joint venture totaled $816,000 at
March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. In forming the joint venture of MSTec,
the Company committed to an investment in the form of a loan to MSTec of
approximately $800,000, which funds were in fact advanced to MSTec in 1999 and
2000. This loan is treated as an equity investment under the Company's
understanding of the conditions of the joint venture. The investment is
subject to the terms of the related loan agreement dated January 22, 1999,
where by the Company agreed in the event of MSTec's bankruptcy or termination,
to forego repayment of the funds advanced until such time as all other
creditors are paid in full. At the date of these financial statements, no
funds advanced by the Company to MSTec have been repaid.
The joint venture's primary asset, as the result of the aforementioned
investment, is a worldwide licensing agreement for the application of the
aforementioned technological process from TNO.
TNO controls the research and activities of the joint venture while M.E.S.T.
Corp.'s participation is investment with rights to products developed by the

Item II - Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The Company provides the information required by 17 CFR §228.303(a) and provides a discussion regarding the Company’s plan of operation for the next 12 months.
Summary of Product Research
The Company has an ongoing research project with the Company’s partner, Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO). The purpose of the research and development is to better preserve the zeolite through the drying, segregating and reconditioning process. The zeolite dewatering system necessarily includes mechanical conveyance, mixing, desegregation and a thermal regeneration process which necessarily places zeolite in contact with mechanical conveyance devices, processing materials, segregation screens and the torbid reactor. The Company is attempting to minimize the gravity of mechanical contact in order to preserve the zeolite material.
As the Company proceeds forward to product production quality dewatering devices, the Company anticipates certain mechanical engineer exercises designed to maximize reliability of the dewatering system. The Company expects that the majority of technical improvements and recommendations will come necessarily through the contracting of the fabrication of initial MEST zeolite dewatering devices. Management expects that the dewatering process will undergo certain design changes which lend the zeolite dewatering process to commercial application and constant use.
Plan of Operation
Management’s investigation into financially productive applications for the zeolite dewatering technology has lead management to pursue converting organic waste materials into livestock, fish and pet food products. The Company has elected to pursue applying its dewatering technology to this area because there is an abundant supply of waste biosolids available for processing and management believes that there is a standing commodities market for such dehydrated biosolid materials.
The zeolite dewatering technology is particularly suited to livestock, fish and pet food products for the following reasons. The zeolite drying technology can control and reproduce final moisture content of the processed biosolids. Pasteurization is the natural result of processing. Zeolite drying controls the heat and therefore does not degrade the final dehydrated product. Zeolite dewatering is thorough and produces low product moisture which increases shelf life. Finally, the zeolite process is efficient, inexpensive and creates low emissions.
The Company has identified its objectives to convert fish waste to fish meal, beer yeast waste to livestock feed and grain mash from methanol plants to livestock feed. It has also identified the conversion and dehydration of human waste as a cost savings measure from municipalities. Organic waste shift from sewage processing transports roughly 80% water content to land fills. The zeolite dewatering device can dry biosolids to 5% water content which makes the biosolid less expensive to transport and amenable to other applications such as fuel or fertilizers.
The Company is actively pursuing a design/build relationship with an engineering company and manufacturing entity in the United States with capabilities of taking the TNO dewatering process designs and converting the designs to a commercial device. The Company is currently negotiating broad aspects of the contractual relationship to define with certainty the parties objectives and financial requirements. The shareholders will be apprized of further progress in that regard. This Company still anticipates production costs for a single production facility between $500,000.00 and $700,000.00 U.S. for limited quantity production. The Company has plans to construct five production facilities for installation in Mexico, Oregon and Alaska.

Financial Requirements
The financial requirements have not changed since the third quarter 2001 projections. The Company has estimated that it will need approximately $5,000,000.00 in order to fabricate, transport, install and commence operations for five zeolite dewatering devices. Management plans to obtain the necessary funding to build the dewatering devices by making a fully registered public offering in the near future.
Finances of the company derive from two exempted offerings of MEST common shares and Preferred Series A. The company has not earned income by virtue of sales of goods or services. The payment of employees, expenses, subcontractors and Company obligations has been made from capital raised by the sale of equity shares. The Company anticipates the need to raise additional capital through public or private offerings and does not expect to earn revenues until late 2003.
The Company currently has sufficient finances for operations through September 2002. The Company does not have sufficient finances to assemble and perform the due diligence, legal and accounting work requisite for representation to the Securities and Exchange Commission and public investors.
