GreenMan Technologies, Inc.
Notes To Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004

1. Business

GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "we", "us" or
"our") was originally founded in 1992 and has been operated as a Delaware
corporation since 1995. Today, we comprise six operating locations that collect,
process and market scrap tires in whole, shredded or granular form. We are
headquartered in Lynnfield, Massachusetts and currently operate tire processing
operations in California, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Tennessee and Wisconsin and
operate under exclusive agreements to supply whole tires used as alternative
fuel to cement kilns located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri
and Tennessee.

2. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GreenMan
Technologies, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30,
2004 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
regulations, although we believe the disclosures which have been made are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of
operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that
may be expected for a full year. In our opinion, all adjustments which are
necessary for a fair statement of operating results for the interim periods
presented have been made.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a
going concern. We have incurred substantial losses from operations, and have a
working capital deficiency of $5,800,659 at December 31, 2004. These factors
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our
liquidity had been significantly and adversely affected since our primary source
of working capital financing and long term debt, Southern Pacific Bank and its
wholly owned subsidiary Coast Business Credit, were closed by the Commissioner
of Financial Institutions of the State of California in February 2003. In
particular, we have had to significantly slow down or delay the implementation
of several growth initiatives, including establishing a new high volume tire
processing facility in Tennessee, shredding and screening upgrades in Georgia
and Minnesota, and the installation of our waste wire processing equipment in
Minnesota. These and other conditions have caused us to incur both significant
expenses in the short-term and have limitations on our ability to grow in the
longer-term.

Despite these challenges during the past eighteen months, we invested over
$3 million in new equipment to increase processing capacity at our Iowa,
Minnesota, Georgia and Tennessee locations which will allow us to increase our
overall revenue with limited capital investment. We have identified, and are
currently selling product into several new, higher-value markets as evidenced by
a 13% increase in end product revenue during fiscal 2004 and 3% for the quarter
ended December 31, 2004, despite the fact that our Georgia waste wire processing
equipment has been inoperable until November 2004. We estimate that during the
year ended September 30, 2004, reduced end product revenue and excess waste
disposal costs of over $1 million were associated with the impact of a March 31,
2003 fire in Georgia. We continue to experience strong demand for our end
products and remain confident in our ability to continue to grow our revenue
base. In addition, we have reconfigured our Wisconsin location to substantially
reduce operating costs and maximize our return on assets. The reconfiguration
was completed during the quarter ended December 31,2004. Additionally,
management continues to attempt to negotiate more favorable tipping fees with
kiln relationships in several markets with the ultimate goal of substantially
reducing these fees from current levels.

We understand that our continued existence is dependent on our ability to
achieve profitable status on a sustainable basis and have implemented and/or are
in the process of implementing the following actions:

Notes To Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004

2. Basis of Presentation - (Continued)

A. Credit Facility Refinancing

On June 30, 2004, we entered into a three-year, $9 million credit facility
with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., consisting of a $5 million convertible, revolving
working capital line of credit and a $4 million convertible term loan. (See Note
9).

B. Private Placement of Investment Units

On April 9, 2004, we commenced a private offering of investment units. Each
unit consists of one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.5
shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2004, when the offering was
terminated, we had sold 1,594,211 units (1,594,211 shares of our common stock
and warrants to purchase 797,105 additional shares of our common stock at prices
ranging from $1.56 to $2.06 per share) to investors, including our directors and
existing shareholders, for gross proceeds of $1,547,000.

C. Related Party Notes Payable

See the discussion of certain notes payable to related parties at Note 9
"Notes Payable - Related Parties".

D. Convertible Note Payable

In December 2003, we entered into a note purchase agreement with an
accredited investor and, pursuant thereto, we issued a convertible note in the
aggregate principal amount of $375,000 and bearing interest at 10%, due December
22, 2004. The note and accrued interest of $11,854 was converted on June 24,
2004 into 369,331 shares of common stock and we issued warrants to purchase
553,997 shares of our common stock.

E. Sale and Leaseback of Real Estate

During March 2004, our Minnesota subsidiary sold all of its land and
buildings to an entity co-owned by an employee for $1,400,000, realizing a gain
of $437,337 which has been recorded as unearned income and will be recognized as
income ratably over the term of the lease. Simultaneous with the sale, we
entered into an agreement to lease property back. We used $875,000 of the
proceeds to repay an existing obligation to Bremer Business Finance.

F. Tennessee Facility

We initially allocated approximately $1 million of proceeds from the Laurus
credit facility to purchase necessary shredding equipment for our Tennessee
facility. No assurance can be given, however, that we will be able to open this
facility on a fully operational basis in a timely manner.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GreenMan Technologies, Inc.
Notes To Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004

3. Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, as
well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed conversion.
Potential common shares that may be issued by us relate to outstanding stock
options and warrants (determined using the treasury stock method) and
convertible debt. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for the
three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, since the effect of the inclusion
of all outstanding options, warrants and convertible debt would be
anti-dilutive.

4. Insurance Claim

On March 31, 2003, a portion of our Georgia facility and several pieces of
waste wire processing equipment were damaged by a fire.

In December 2003, we reached a settlement agreement with our insurance
carrier amounting to $1,029,885 of which $821,172 was applicable to losses
incurred during fiscal 2003. The settlement amount, net of direct costs
incurred, resulted in net casualty income of $431,594 during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2003 and $112,766 during the quarter ended December 31,
2003, which is classified as other income in the accompanying statement of
operations. In December 2003 all remaining amounts associated with this
settlement were received.

5. Annual Assessment of Goodwill

We have elected to perform the required annual impairment test of our
goodwill on the last day of our fiscal third quarter. As of June 30, 2004, we
have concluded that goodwill is not impaired.

6. Notes Receivable, Officers

In January 1998 we advanced $104,000 to an officer under an 8.5% secured
promissory note with both principal and interest due January 2001. This note was
amended on September 30, 2000 to extend the maturity until April 15, 2002
(subsequently extended to April 15, 2004) and increase the interest rate to
9.5%. On April 30, 2004 the remaining balance of $163,000, including interest,
was applied to offset obligations under our $400,000 September 30, 2003 note
payable due to the officer. (See Note 10).

In January 1999, we advanced two officers $55,000, in aggregate, under 8.5%
secured promissory notes with both principal and interest due January 2002
(subsequently extended to January 2004). The proceeds were used to participate
in a private placement of our common stock and the loans were secured by 191,637
shares of common stock owned by the two officers. In June 2002, the two officers
repaid $5,000 each toward their respective then outstanding balances. On March
31, 2004, one officer agreed to apply his then outstanding balance of $24,000
against obligations under our $400,000 September 30, 2003 note payable due to
the officer. (See Note 10). On May 11, 2004 the other officer sold 36,717 shares
of common stock valued at $44,248 back to us in full settlement of all amounts
due under his note. We subsequently cancelled these shares, which reduced our
total shares issued and outstanding.

8. Acquisition Deposit

In August 2004, we executed a non-binding letter of intent and escrow
agreement in connection with a potential business acquisition. Pursuant to the
escrow agreement, we have made a "good faith" payment amounting to $350,000,
which was to be applied toward the purchase price upon completion of the
transaction. On December 8, 2004, we executed a new letter of intent which
superceded the August letter of intent in which we will lease, with an option to
buy, certain pieces of tire processing equipment owned by the third party. These
leases were executed in January 2005 and provide for aggregate monthly payments
of $25,300 over terms ranging from 48 to 60 months. In addition, we were granted
an exclusive purchase option to acquire additional operating assets of the third
party if predetermined financial performance criteria are met by the third party
during the subsequent fifteen to twenty four month period after December 8,
2004. The ultimate purchase price cannot be determined at this time. In return
for the exclusive purchase option, we issued 127,389 shares of our common stock
(valued at $200,000) to the third party. If we exercise our exclusive purchase
option and close a transaction, the value of the shares will be applied against
the purchase price of the assets. If the exclusive purchase option expires or we
decide not to exercise the option, the third party shall retain a sufficient
number of our shares to equal $200,000 (as of the date that the purchase option
expires) and return the balance of such shares of common stock to us. If at the
time the purchase option expires, the value of the shares is less than $200,000,
we will issue a sufficient number of additional shares to equal $200,000. In
connection with this agreement and based on the fair market value of our stock
at each quarter end, we may be required to record an asset or liability based
upon the sufficient number of shares required to meet the requirements of the
agreement, as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equities". At December 31, 2004, we have not recorded a related
liability as the amount is immaterial, and would be offset by a corresponding
increase in the related deposit. We have also agreed to use the $350,000 held in
escrow to prepare and move the leased equipment for our use. The $350,000 escrow
deposit is included in other long term assets.

9. Notes Payable/Credit Facilities

First American Credit Facility

On April 4, 2002, our Iowa subsidiary executed a five-year, $1,185,000
secured term note and a one year $300,000 working capital line of credit
(secured with all Iowa assets) with First American Bank ("First American"). The
proceeds of this term note were used in connection with the acquisition of UT
Tire Recyclers, Inc in April 2002.

On February 13, 2003, our Iowa subsidiary amended its existing term debt
with First American under the terms of a five-year, $1,760,857 secured term
note. The note is payable in sixty monthly installments of $34,660 and is
secured with all Iowa assets. They also renewed their working capital line of
credit which was increased to $500,000. The line of credit has been subsequently
extended to January 20, 2005 and First American temporarily increased the
maximum availability under the line of credit to $650,000 through September 30,
2004. The term note bears interest at 7.5% and the line of credit bears interest
at the prime rate plus 1%.

On November 15, 2004, First American reduced the availability under our
working capital line of credit and issued a $100,050 Irrevocable Letter of
Credit as collateral for a performance bond associated with a significant scrap
tire cleanup project in Iowa. The Letter of Credit will remain in force until
the sooner of the projects completion (estimated to be May 2005) or November 15,
2005.

Laurus Credit Facility

On June 30, 2004, we entered into a $9 million credit facility with Laurus
Master Fund, Ltd., ("Laurus") consisting of a $5 million convertible, revolving
working capital line of credit and a $4 million convertible term note loan. At
closing, we borrowed $4 million under the term loan and $2 million under the
line of credit, and used approximately $1,860,000 of the proceeds to repay the
outstanding indebtedness under our existing credit facility with WAMCO and
approximately $1,070,000 to repay in full the indebtedness due Cryopolymers
Leasing. Additional proceeds of the financing were used to increase working
capital and to pay certain costs and fees associated with this transaction
including a $425,000 placement fee paid to our investment bank.

The line of credit has a three-year term. Borrowings bear interest at the
prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 1.0%
(6.25% at December 31, 2004), and are convertible into shares of our common
stock at the option of Laurus. Except for downward adjustments provided in the
credit facility terms described below, the interest rate shall not be below 5%.
Subject to certain limitations, Laurus will have the right, but not the
obligation, to convert the first $1 million of borrowings under the line of
credit into our common stock at a price of $1.31 (a 10% premium over the 22-day
trailing average closing price of our common stock on the American Stock
Exchange on June 30, 2004). The conversion price for each subsequent $1 million
of borrowings will be adjusted upward so that the conversion price will always
reflect a 10% premium over the 22-day trailing average closing price computed on
each $1 million increment. The amount we may borrow at any time under the line
of credit is limited to 90% of eligible accounts receivable (90 days or less)
and 50% of eligible finished goods inventory, subject to certain limitations.
The line of credit requires us to maintain a minimum borrowing of $1,000,000.

In connection with the Line of Credit, we issued Laurus a warrant to
purchase up to 990,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.63
to $2.29. The warrant, valued at $82,731, is immediately exercisable, has a term
of ten years and allows for cashless exercise at the option of Laurus, and does
not contain any "put" provisions.

Net proceeds received from advances made under the line at closing were
allocated to the line of credit and the warrant based on their relative fair
values resulting in a discount on the line of credit amounting to $186,700 which
will be amortized to interest expense over the three-year term of the borrowing
or immediately upon conversion.

The term note also has a three-year term and bears interest at the prime
rate published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 1.0% (6.25% at
December 31, 2004), with interest payable monthly. Except for downward
adjustments provided in the credit facility terms described below, the interest
rate shall not be below 5%. Principal will be amortized over the term of the
loan, commencing on November 1, 2004, with minimum monthly principal payments of
$125,000. As of February 21, 2005, Laurus has agreed to defer payment of our
December - February 2005 monthly principal payments until March 1, 2005 at which
time they may chose to request payment of one of all of the deferred payments or
defer the payments for an additional period. Laurus has the option to convert
some or all of the principal and interest payments into common stock at a fixed
conversion price of $1.25 reflecting a 5% premium over the 22-day trailing
average closing price of our common stock on the American Stock Exchange on June
30, 2004. ("Fixed Conversion Price"). Subject to certain limitations, regular
payments of principal and interest will be automatically payable in common stock
if the 5-day average closing price of the common stock immediately preceding a
payment date is greater than or equal to 110% of the Fixed Conversion Price.

In connection with the term note, we issued Laurus a warrant to purchase up
to 390,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.56 to $2.18. The
warrant, valued at $37,161, is immediately exercisable, has a term of ten years
and allows for cashless exercise at the option of Laurus, and does not contain
any "put" provisions.

Net proceeds received from issuance of the term note amounted to $3,788,950
and were allocated to the term note and the warrant based on their relative fair
values. The note contained a beneficial conversion feature of $64,000 at
issuance based on the intrinsic value of the shares into which the note is
convertible, and a debt issue discount amounting to $248,200. The beneficial
conversion discount was recorded as paid-in-capital and will be amortized to
interest expense along with the debt discount over the three-year term of the
note or ratably upon any partial conversion.

We will be required to pay a premium of 2% of the amount of each principal
payment made in cash under the line of credit and/or the term note. In addition,
we will be required to pay a penalty of 20% of the then-outstanding balance of
the term note if we prepay that note.

The interest rate under each of the notes is subject to downward adjustment
on a monthly basis (but not to less than 0%). The downward adjustment will be in
the amount of 200 basis points (2.0%) for each incremental 25% increase in the
average closing price of our common stock over the then applicable conversion
price of the note for the five-day period preceding such monthly determination
date if we have at that time registered for resale all of the shares of our
common stock underlying the notes and warrants we are issuing to Laurus in this
transaction, or 100 basis points (1.0%) for each incremental 25% increase in the
average closing price of our common stock over the then applicable conversion
price of the note for the five-day period preceding such monthly determination
date if we have not at that time registered for resale all of such shares.

The credit facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in
substantially all of our assets, including the capital stock of our active
subsidiaries. Our active subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations to Laurus
and have granted Laurus a security interest in their assets to secure this
guarantee.

We incurred investment banking costs amounting to $559,000, including
$455,000 in cash and $103,840 in the form of 57,252 shares of our unregistered
common stock valued at $75,000 and warrants to purchase up to 270,000 shares of
our common stock valued at $28,840. The warrants are immediately exercisable,
have a term of five years and have exercise prices ranging from $1.64 to $2.29.

Total debt issuance costs incurred in connection with securing the credit
facility amounted to approximately $674,000 of deferred financing costs which
will be amortized to interest expense over the three year term. Additionally, a
management fee amounting to $315,000 was paid to Laurus from the closing
proceeds, and was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized to interest
expense over the three year term.

We have agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 the
shares of common stock issuable to Laurus upon conversion of borrowings under
the credit facility and upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to this
agreement, we filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with respect to
4,724,565 shares of our common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on July 30, 2004. This statement was declared effective on January 26, 2005. We
will file a registration statement with respect to 2,157,000 additional shares
that may be issued to Laurus after the listing of those shares on the American
Stock Exchange is approved by our stockholders.

The amount of our common stock Laurus may hold at any given time is limited
to no more than 4.99% of our outstanding capital stock and no more than 25% of
our aggregate daily trading volume determined over the five-day period prior to
the date of determination. These limitations may be waived by Laurus on 90 days'
prior notice, or without notice if we are in default.

The conversion price applicable to each of the notes and the exercise price
of each of the warrants is subject to downward adjustment if we issue shares of
our common stock (or common stock equivalents) at a price per share less than
the applicable conversion or exercise price. There are exceptions for issuances
of stock and options to our employees and for certain other ordinary course
stock issuances.

Subject to applicable cure periods, amounts borrowed from Laurus are
subject to acceleration upon certain events of default, including: (i) any
failure to pay when due any amount we owe to Laurus; (ii) any material breach by
us of any other covenant made to Laurus; (iii) any misrepresentation made by us
to Laurus in the documents governing the credit facility; (iv) the institution
of certain bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings by or against us; (v) the entry
of certain monetary judgments against us that are not paid or vacated for a
period of 30 business days; (vi) suspensions of trading of our common stock;
(vii) any failure to deliver shares of common stock upon conversions under the
credit facility; (viii) certain defaults under agreements related to any of our
other indebtedness; and (ix) changes of control of our company. Substantial fees
and penalties are payable to Laurus in the event of default.

Pursuant to the terms of the Laurus notes, we are required to provide
unaudited financial statements within forty five days of each quarter end and
due to unforeseen delays we provided the financial statements subsequent to the
forty five days. Laurus has agreed to waive any and all defaults resulting from
our failure to file our financial statements timely.

Convertible Notes Payable-Related Party

One of our directors was owed $300,000 under the terms of an October 1999
private offering of 10% convertible notes and warrants and $75,000 under the
terms of a February 2000 offering of 11% convertible notes and warrants. The
convertible notes originally matured twelve months after issuance and were
payable in cash or unregistered shares of our common stock at a conversion price
of $1.00 per share. In September 2000 and June 2001, the director agreed to
extend the maturity date of each note for an additional twelve months from their
original maturity. In return for the June 2001 extension, we agreed to reduce
the conversion price to $.75 per share. In September 2002, the director again
agreed to extend the maturity of each note for an additional twenty-four months
from their extended maturity dates which range from October 2004 to February
2005.

On February 16, 2004, the director converted both notes, including $375,000
of principal and $168,210 of accrued interest into 724,281 shares of our
unregistered common stock pursuant to the amended terms noted above.

Notes Payable-Related Party

In November 2000, we borrowed $200,000 from the same director who held the
convertible notes referred to above. This unsecured note payable bears interest
at 12% per annum with interest due monthly and the principal due originally in
November 2001. In June 2001, the director agreed to extend the maturity date of
the note for an additional twelve months from its original maturity. In
September 2002, the director agreed to extend the maturity of the note for an
additional twenty-four months or until November 2004. In June 2004, the director
agreed to extend the maturity of this note until the earlier of when all amounts
due under the Laurus credit facility (See Note 8) have been repaid or June 30,
2007.

During the period of June to August 2003, two immediate family members of
an officer loaned us a total of $400,000 under the terms of two-year, unsecured
promissory notes which bear interest at 12% per annum with interest due
quarterly and the principal due upon maturity. In March 2004, these same
individuals loaned us an additional $200,000 in aggregate, under similar terms
with the principal due upon maturity March 2006. These individuals each agreed
to invest the entire $100,000 principal balance of their June 2003 notes
($200,000 in aggregate) into the April 2004 private placement of investment
units and each received 113,636 units in these transactions. At December 31,
2004, the remaining balance due on these advances amounted to $400,000.In
addition, the two individuals agreed to extend the maturity of the remaining
balance of these notes until the earlier of when all amounts due under the
Laurus credit facility (See Note 8) have been repaid or June 30, 2007.

In September 2003, an officer loaned us $400,000 under the terms of a
September 30, 2003 unsecured promissory note which bears interest at 12% per
annum with interest due quarterly and the principal due March 31, 2004
(subsequently extended to September 30, 2004). In 2004, the officer applied
approximately $114,000 of the balance due him and accrued interest of
approximately $21,000 to exercise options to purchase 185,000 shares of common
stock . In addition, he agreed to extend the maturity of the remaining balance
of this note until the earlier of when all amount due under the Laurus credit
facility (See Note 8) have been repaid or June 30, 2007. At December 31, 2004,
the remaining balance due on this note amounted to $99,320.

On September 30, 2003, our Georgia subsidiary's landlord, loaned us
$100,000 under the terms of a September 30, 2003 unsecured promissory note which
bears interest at 12% per annum with interest due quarterly and the principal
due September 30, 2004. In June 2004, the landlord agreed to invest the entire
$100,000 principal balance of the unsecured promissory note plus accrued
interest of $7,300 into the April 2004 private placement of investment units and
received 121,932 units in this transaction.

In October 2003, one of our officers loaned us $75,000 under the terms of an
October 22, 2003 unsecured promissory note payable which bears interest at 12%
per annum with interest due quarterly and the principal due June 30, 2004.
During January and February 2004, the same officer advanced us an additional
$250,000 under substantially similar notes that are also due in June 2004. This
officer agreed to invest all unpaid principal and interest under these advances
amounting to approximately $350,000 into the April 2004 private placement of
units and received 339,806 units in this transaction.

12. Income Taxes

Previously, we had recorded a full valuation allowance on the net operating
loss carry forwards and other components of the deferred tax assets based on our
expected ability to realize the benefit of those assets. In the year ending
September 30, 2002, we reduced the valuation allowance by $270,000 based on our
net income before taxes in the year then ending as well as expected net income
before income taxes for the next fiscal year.

During the past twelve months we have implemented several initiatives which
will allow us to increase our overall revenue with limited capital investment.
We are currently selling product into several new, higher-value markets. The
implementation of our waste wire processing equipment in Iowa and Minnesota
during fiscal 2003 has reduced our residual disposal costs and provided for
increased revenue through the sale of the steel by-product and premium prices
paid for crumb rubber feedstock.

As noted previously, on June 30, 2004, we completed a $9 million financing
with Laurus and had earmarked over $1 million for full implementation of our new
high-volume tire processing facility in Tennessee. In August 2004, we used
$350,000 of the proceeds as a "good faith" deposit with a third party towards
the acquisition of certain processing equipment that would be required in
Tennessee. In December 2004, we executed a Letter of Intent with the same third
party, providing among other things our agreement to lease certain pieces of
tire processing equipment which was initially intended to be utilized in
Tennessee (See Note 8) and agreed to apply the $350,000 to preparation and
moving of the equipment to be leased. Due to delays in identifying the
appropriate remaining equipment for Tennessee, we reallocated approximately
$650,000 of the proceeds to be used to re-establish our Georgia waste wire
processing equipment line in November 2004 as well as support the limited
Tennessee operation during this period. During February 2005, we determined that
based on increasing inbound tire volumes in the Southeast and reduced existing
processing capacity as well as equipment reliability issues, we would install a
majority of the new leased equipment in Georgia in order to increase our plant
processing capacity and reduce our disposal expense. We are currently evaluating
several alternatives which will allow us to reduce our current operating losses
in Tennessee during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 which include but are not
limited to continuation of shredding on a limited basis in Tennessee. When the
Tennessee facility is fully operational, we estimate the cost savings realized
by processing Tennessee-sourced tires locally instead of transporting them to
Georgia should exceed $80,000 per month. In addition, our Georgia waste wire
processing equipment which was damaged by a fire in March 2003 was returned to
operation in November 2004. Based on historical results and current Iowa and
Minnesota performance of similar equipment, we anticipate our performance will
be enhanced by almost $300,000 per quarter in the form of new product revenue
and reduced disposal expenses in Georgia.

While overall quality of revenue (total revenue per scrap tire) increased
10% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 our overall inbound tires
decreased 7% and total cost of sales increased approximately $1,284,000 or 19%
primarily due to reduced processing capacity and equipment reliability issues at
our Southeast and Western operations as well as unforeseen decreases in inbound
tire volumes during the quarter which we believe was attributable to the
lingering impact of severe weather conditions experienced in both regions during
the late summer and early fall periods. We are currently installing equipment
which we believe will positively impact the reduced processing capacity issues
in the Southeast and have begun to experience increased inbound scrap tire
volumes. Based on the unforeseen magnitude of the quarterly loss, we have
determined the near-term realizability of the non-cash deferred tax asset of
$270,000 to be questionable and therefore have provided a valuation allowance on
the entire amount in the quarter. We will evaluate the realizability of these
deferred tax assets each quarter.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of
the Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contained in our Form 10-KSB filed for the year ended
September 30, 2004.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended December 31, 2004 Compared to the Three Months ended
December 31, 2003

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2004 were $8,045,351, a
3% increase, compared to last year's net sales of $7,798,750. Our overall
quality of revenue increased 10% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004
primarily due to a 6% increase in overall product revenues and a 4% increase in
tipping fees per passenger tire equivalent, despite the fact our inbound scrap
tire volume decreased 7% during the quarter. We processed over 7.6 million
passenger tire equivalents during the three months ended December 31, 2004,
compared to approximately 8.1 million passenger tire equivalents during the
quarter ended December 31, 2003.

Overall end product sales increased $124,658 to $2,085,578 during the
quarter ended December 31, 2004, compared to $1,960,920 for the same period last
year, despite our Georgia waste wire processing equipment being off-line from
April 2003 to November 2004. The increase in end product sales is attributable
to implementation of our waste wire processing equipment in the Midwest during
the second half of fiscal 2003 and stronger crumb rubber and tire derived fuel
sales during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 was $101,124 or 1% of
net sales, compared to $1,138,809 or 15% of net sales for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003. Our cost of sales increased approximately $1,284,000 or 19%
primarily due to reduced processing capacity and equipment reliability issues at
our Southeast and Western operations as well as unforeseen decreases in inbound
tire volumes during the quarter which we believe was attributable to the
lingering impact of severe weather conditions experienced in both regions during
the late summer and early fall periods. We are currently installing equipment
which we believe will positively impact the reduced processing capacity issues
in the Southeast and have begun to experience increased inbound scrap tire
volumes.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December
31, 2004 increased $147,295 to $1,215,536 or 15% of net sales, compared to
$1,068,241 or 14% of net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2003. The
increase was primarily attributable to increased outside professional expenses.

As a result of the foregoing, we had an operating loss of $1,114,412 for
the quarter ended December 31, 2004 as compared to an operating profit of
$70,568 for the quarter ended December 31, 2003.

Interest and financing costs for the quarter ended December 31, 2004
increased $51,105 to $405,901, compared to $354,796 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003.

In addition to the disruption of operations and lost revenues caused by the
March 2003 fire, we also incurred additional direct costs relating to damaged
equipment and excess disposal costs totaling approximately $95,000 which were
offset by an insurance recovery of $207,873 during the quarter ended December
31, 2003.

Based on the unforeseen magnitude of the quarterly loss, we determined the
near-term realizability of the non-cash deferred tax asset of $270,000 to be
questionable and therefore have provided a valuation allowance on the entire
amount in the quarter and accordingly have written it off during the quarter
ended December 31, 2004.

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the quarter ended December
31, 2004 increased $1,627,254 to $1,804,837 or $.09 per basic share, compared to
a net loss of $177,583 or $.01 per basic share for quarter ended December 31,
2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2004, we had $297,012 in cash and cash equivalents and a
working capital deficiency of $5,800,659. We understand that the continued,
successful sales and marketing of our services and products, the introduction of
new products, and re-establishing continued profitability from operations will
be critical to our future liquidity.

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reflect events in 2004 and 2003
as they affect our liquidity. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, net
cash provided by operating activities was $684,392 which reflects a net loss of
$1,804,837 which was positively impacted by depreciation and amortization of
$669,280, a $270,000 non-cash deferred tax asset write-off, a $623,150 decrease
in accounts receivable and a $1,019,245 increase to accounts payable. During the
quarter ended December 31, 2003, net cash used by operating activities was
$405,816 reflecting a net loss of $177,583; a decrease in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $1,120,945 and an increase in product inventory of $204,065.
These amounts were positively impacted by depreciation and amortization and the
receipt of $634,172 in insurance proceeds.

Net cash used for investing activities was $759,450 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2004 reflecting the purchase of $756,487 of machinery and equipment
associated with the completion of our Georgia waste wire processing equipment in
November 2004. The net cash used for investing activities for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003 was $445,845.

Net cash used for financing activities was $137,717 during the quarter
ended December 31, 2004 and was positively impacted by availability under our
new Laurus credit facility. This increase were offset by repayment of notes
payable of $355,887 and capital leases of $77,801. Positively affecting cash
flows from financing activities for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 were
proceeds from the issuance of notes payable to unrelated and related parties.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a
going concern. We have incurred substantial losses from operations, and have a
working capital deficiency of $5,800,659 at December 31, 2004. These factors
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our
liquidity had been significantly and adversely affected since our primary source
of working capital financing and long term debt, Southern Pacific Bank and its
wholly owned subsidiary Coast Business Credit, were closed by the Commissioner
of Financial Institutions of the State of California in February 2003. In
particular, we have had to significantly slow down or delay the implementation
of several growth initiatives, including establishing a new high volume tire
processing facility in Tennessee, shredding and screening upgrades in Georgia
and Minnesota, and the installation of our waste wire processing equipment in
Minnesota. These conditions have caused us to incur both significant expenses in
the short-term and have limitations on our ability to grow in the longer-term.

Despite these challenges during the past twenty four months, we invested
over $3 million in new equipment to increase processing capacity at our Iowa,
Minnesota, Georgia and Tennessee locations which will allow us to increase our
overall revenue with limited capital investment. We have identified, and are
currently selling product into several new, higher-value markets as evidenced by
a 13% increase in end product revenue during fiscal 2004 and 6% for the quarter
ended December 31, 2004, despite the fact our Georgia waste wire processing
equipment has been inoperable until November 2004. We estimate that during the
year ended September 30, 2004, reduced end product revenue and excess waste
disposal costs of over $1 million were associated with the impact of a March 31,
2003 fire. In November 2004, all previously damaged equipment was re-installed
and became operational. We continue to experience strong demand for our end
products and remain confident in our ability to continue to grow our revenue
base. In addition, we have reconfigured our Wisconsin location to substantially
reduce operating costs and maximize our return on assets and as of September 30,
2004 our efforts resulted in a $385,000 reduction in that facility's
year-to-date expenses compared to the same period last year. The reconfiguration
was completed during the quarter ended December 31,2004. Additionally,
management continues to attempt to negotiate more favorable tipping fees with
kiln relationships in several markets with the ultimate goal of substantially
reducing these fees from current levels.

We understand that our continued existence is dependent on our ability to
achieve profitable status on a sustainable basis. and have implemented and/or
are in the process of implementing the following actions:

Credit Facility Refinancing

Our liquidity had been significantly and adversely affected since our
primary source of working capital financing and long term debt, Southern Pacific
Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary Coast Business Credit, were closed by the
Commissioner of Financial Institutions of the State of California in February
2003. In particular, we have had to significantly slow down or delay the
implementation of several growth initiatives, including establishing a new high
volume tire processing facility in Tennessee, shredding and screening upgrades
in Georgia and Minnesota, and the installation of our waste wire processing
equipment in Minnesota. These conditions have caused us to incur both
significant expenses in the short-term and have limitations on our ability to
grow in the longer-term.

On June 30, 2004, however, we entered into a $9 million credit facility
with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., consisting of a $5 million convertible, revolving
working capital line of credit and a $4 million convertible term note. At
closing, we borrowed $4 million under the term loan and $2 million under the
line of credit, and used approximately $1,860,000 of the proceeds to repay the
outstanding indebtedness under our existing credit facility with WAMCO and
approximately $1,070,000 to repay in full the indebtedness due Cryopolymers
Leasing. Additional proceeds of the financing were used to increase working
capital and to pay certain costs and fees associated with this transaction
including a $425,000 placement fee paid to our investment bank.

In connection with the line of credit, we issued Laurus a warrant to
purchase up to 990,000 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $1.63
to $2.29. The warrant, valued at $82,731, is immediately exercisable, has a term
of ten years and allows for cashless exercise at the option of Laurus, and does
not contain any "put" provisions.

The term note also has a three-year term and bears interest at the prime
rate published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 1.0% (6.25 % at
December 31, 2004), with interest payable monthly. Except for downward
adjustments provided in the credit facility terms described below, the interest
rate shall not be below 5%. Principal will be amortized over the term of the
loan, commencing on November 1, 2004, with minimum monthly principal payments of
$125,000. Laurus has the option to convert some or all of the principal and
interest payments into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.25
reflecting a 5% premium over the 22-day trailing average closing price of our
common stock on the American Stock Exchange on June 30, 2004. Subject to certain
limitations, regular payments of principal and interest will be automatically
payable in common stock if the 5-day average closing price of the common stock
immediately preceding a payment date is greater than or equal to 110% of such
fixed conversion price.

Total debt issuance costs incurred in connection with securing the Laurus
credit facility amounted to approximately $674,000 which have been recorded as
deferred financing costs to be amortized to interest expense over the three year
term. Additionally, a management fee amounting to $315,000 was paid to Laurus
from the closing proceeds, and was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized
to interest expense over the three year term.

We have agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 the
shares of common stock issuable to Laurus upon conversion of borrowings under
the credit facility and upon exercise of the warrants. Pursuant to this
agreement, we filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with respect to
4,724,565 shares of our common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on July 30, 2004. This statement was declared effective on January 26, 2005. We
will file a registration statement with respect to 2,157,000 additional shares
that maybe issued to Laurus after the listing of those shares on the American
Stock Exchange is approved by our stockholders.

Subject to applicable cure periods, amounts borrowed from Laurus are
subject to acceleration upon certain events of default, including: (i) any
failure to pay when due any amount we owe to Laurus; (ii) any material breach by
us of any other covenant made to Laurus; (iii) any misrepresentation made by us
to Laurus in the documents governing the credit facility; (iv) the institution
of certain bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings by or against us; (v) the entry
of certain monetary judgments against us that are not paid or vacated for a
period of 30 business days; (vi) suspensions of trading of our common stock;
(vii) any failure to deliver shares of common stock upon conversions under the
credit facility; (viii) certain defaults under agreements related to any of our
other indebtedness; (ix) payments of any dividends either in cash or stock and
(x) changes of control of our company. Substantial fees and penalties are
payable to Laurus in the event of default.

Additional Steps to Increase Liquidity

Over the last several years, we have funded portions of our operating cash
flow and growth from sales of equity securities and loans from officers and
related parties.

In a private placement commencing in February 2002 and ending September 30,
2003, we sold 1,458,511 shares of our common stock to investors, including
existing shareholders, for gross proceeds of $2,133,603. A majority of the
proceeds of this offering were used to acquire certain tire recycling operations
and assets.

In December 2003, we issued a 10% convertible note due December 2004 in the
aggregate principal amount of $375,000 to an investor. The note was convertible
at the option of the holder at any time prior to maturity into investment units
at a price equal to $1.07 per unit with each unit consisting of one share of
common stock and a warrant to purchase 1.5 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $1.07 per share, exercisable six months after issuance for a period of
five years from date of issuance. The note was converted on June 24, 2004 into
369,331 shares of common stock and we issued warrants to purchase 553,997 shares
of our common stock. When originally issued, this note reflected a beneficial
conversion feature amounting to $154,226 and, upon conversion, the remaining
unamortized beneficial conversion discount of approximately $77,000 was charged
to interest expense.

In April 2004, we commenced a private offering of investment units to
accredited investors, each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and
a warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2004, when
the offering terminated, we had sold 1,594,211 units (1,594,211 shares of our
common stock and warrants to purchase 797,105 additional shares of our common
stock at prices ranging from $1.56 to $2.06 per share) to investors, including
our directors and existing shareholders, for gross proceeds of $1,547,800. We
used the net proceeds of this offering to re-establish our Georgia waste wire
processing capacity and for general working capital purposes during the
seasonally slower portion of our fiscal year.

From June 2003 through March 2004, several of our officers and members of
their families loaned us an aggregate of $1,345,000. These advances bear
interest at 12% and mature at various times through March 2006. In April 2004,
several of these individuals agreed to invest approximately $550,000 of the
amounts due them under the terms of their loans into the private placement
described above. In April 2004, one of our officers applied approximately
$187,000 of amounts due him to pay off notes receivable due our company and in
June 2004 applied approximately $114,000 of amounts due him, plus $21,000 of
accrued interest to exercise options to purchase 185,000 shares of our common
stock. At September 30, 2004, the remaining balance on these advances amounted
to $699,320.

Repurchase of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock

On February 14, 2002, we repurchased and retired all of the Class B
convertible Preferred Stock held by Republic Services of Georgia, Limited
Partnership (as successor to United Waste Services, Inc.) for a $1,500,000
promissory note bearing interest at 10% and due in February 2007 and 100,000
shares of common stock valued at $1.60 per share on the date of issuance.

On May 6, 2002, Republic Services converted $750,000 of the principal
amount of the February 14, 2002 promissory note into 300,000 unregistered shares
of our common stock valued at $750,000. We issued Republic Services a promissory
note for the remaining balance on the February 14, 2002 promissory note in the
principal amount of $743,750 bearing interest at 10% and due in March 2007.

Operating Performance Enhancements

During the past five years, we have terminated under-performing operations
and initiatives and eliminated the use of non-conventional financing methods
that had contributed over $18.7 million to our accumulated deficit. In order to
position our company to be stronger, more profitable and to enhance shareholder
value in the future, we began initiatives during fiscal 2003 to upgrade existing
operations, expand into new geographic locations to maximize existing
transportation and marketing infrastructures, and continue to identify better
and more profitable uses for existing and new products.

Historically, our tire shredding operations were able to recover and sell
approximately 60% of a processed tire with the balance disposed of as waste wire
residual (cross-contaminated rubber and steel) at an annual cost exceeding
$1,000,000 in prior years. We have previously purchased secondary equipment for
our Georgia (damaged in the March 2003 fire; reestablished in November 2004),
Iowa and Minnesota facilities to further process the waste wire residual into
saleable components of rubber and steel that not only provide new sources of
revenue but also significantly reduced our residual disposal costs.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, we initiated a $1.5 million
equipment upgrade to our Des Moines, Iowa tire processing facility. We
completely replaced all tire shredders with more efficient, higher volume
equipment and installed a waste wire processing equipment line that reduced
waste wire disposal costs while increasing our production capacity to over 20
million pounds of rubber feedstock per year for our internal crumb rubber
operations. From July through December 2002, we experienced inevitable one-time
operational disruptions during the equipment installation. Additionally, we
incurred increased transportation costs because a significant portion of Iowa
tires were diverted to our Minnesota plant for processing during the upgrade.
These disruptive factors negatively impacted earnings in the first quarter of
fiscal 2003 by approximately $150,000. Additionally, we believe that these
actions position us to better meet the growing market demand for our products
and services as evidenced by the fact that Iowa crumb product shipments have
increased almost three-fold during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003,
compared to the same period in fiscal 2002. The capital investment in Iowa was
funded by a combination of internal cash flow and long-term debt provided by
First American Bank of Des Moines, Iowa and the State of Iowa.

On March 31, 2003, a portion of our Georgia facility and several pieces of
waste wire processing equipment were damaged by a fire. As of September 30,
2003, damaged equipment and parts with a net book value of approximately
$179,000 have been written off and we have incurred $225,000 of expenses
associated with the fire, including $211,000 of excess waste wire disposal. In
December 2003 we reached a $1.03 million settlement with our insurance carrier
in connection with the claims associated with the fire and have received all
remaining amounts due under this insurance claim. During the quarter ended
December 31, 2003, we recognized $207,873 of casualty income associated with the
insurance settlement before related costs of approximately $95,000 during the
quarter. We estimate that during the year ended September 30, 2004, reduced end
product revenue and excess waste disposal costs of over $1 million were
associated with the impact of the March 31, 2003 fire. In November 2004, all
previously damaged equipment was re-installed and became operational.

Following the February 2003 decision to reconfigure our Wisconsin
operations, waste wire processing equipment in Wisconsin was taken off line in
March 2003 with the intention of moving it to our Minnesota operation. We had
originally delayed the relocation of the equipment to Minnesota in order to
evaluate whether to deploy it in Georgia to temporarily replace the damaged
equipment; however in May 2003 we decided to relocate the Wisconsin equipment to
Minnesota as planned. The Minnesota waste wire processing equipment began
initial operation in July 2003. We estimate this equipment will reduce disposal
expense by over $160,000 per year, while providing new sources of revenue and
much needed material feedstock for our Iowa crumb rubber operations. In addition
to the existing waste wire processing equipment, we invested an additional
$250,000 in new support equipment and infrastructure improvements. These capital
investments were funded by internal cash flow.

In addition, during the first half of fiscal 2003, several new pieces of
shredding and screening equipment were installed at our Minnesota and Georgia
locations in order to meet increased demand for more lucrative smaller
tire-derived fuel material in the Midwest and Southeast. These capital
investments, which exceeded $525,000, were funded by internal cash flow.

Other Matters That Have Impacted Our Liquidity

New Market Development Initiatives.

The July 2002 acquisition of a scrap tire business in Azusa, California
marked our first location in the western portion of the United States. We have
devoted significant resources during the past twenty four months to expand and
enhance our California market position in order to provide a solid foundation
for future growth and sustainable profitability.

On July 1, 2004, we acquired certain assets of American Tire Disposal, Inc.
("ATD") a southern California based company in the business of collecting and
marketing approximately 1 million scrap tires for approximately $172,000 in
assumed liabilities, forgiveness of trade payables due to us and cash. We have
consolidated ATD's business into our existing California operations

In February 2003, we announced our intent to open a new high-volume tire
processing facility in LaVergne, Tennessee as a result of experiencing
significant market share growth during the last two years. Historically, we
transported all Tennessee-sourced tires to our Georgia facility to be processed.
We anticipated that a majority of the funding to implement this initiative would
come from our principal lender, which unfortunately was closed by the
Commissioner of Financial Institutions of the State of California in February
2003, shortly after we received verbal approval to move forward. In July 2003,
our Tennessee facility began processing local tires on a limited basis using
excess and idle equipment from various other locations. We initially earmarked
approximately $1 million of proceeds from the Laurus credit facility to purchase
equipment necessary for our Tennessee facility.

Due to delays in identifying the appropriate remaining equipment for
Tennessee, we reallocated approximately $650,000 of the proceeds to be used to
re-establish our Georgia waste wire processing equipment line in November 2004
as well as support the limited Tennessee operation during this period. During
February 2005, we determined that based on increasing inbound tire volumes in
the Southeast and reduced existing processing capacity as well as equipment
reliability issues, we would install a majority of the new leased equipment in
Georgia in order to increase our plant processing capacity and reduce our
disposal expense. We are currently evaluating several alternatives which will
allow us to reduce our current operating losses in Tennessee during the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 which include but are not limited to continuation of
shredding on a limited basis in Tennessee. When the Tennessee facility is fully
operational, we estimate the cost savings realized by processing
Tennessee-sourced tires locally instead of transporting them to Georgia should
exceed $80,000 per month.

Also in February 2003, we decided to reconfigure the operations of our
Wisconsin facility from an unprofitable low-volume size reduction facility to a
whole tire transfer station supplying compliant tires to a cement kiln. The
decision was made because the cement kiln is anticipated to continue consuming a
majority of the scrap tires collected by our Wisconsin facility. As of September
30, 2004, our on-going efforts to increase tire volume and reduce expenses in
Wisconsin have resulted in a $385,000 reduction in that facility's year-to-date
expenses compared to the same period last year. The reconfiguration was
completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

In August 2004, we executed a non-binding letter of intent and escrow
agreement in connection with a potential business acquisition. Pursuant to the
escrow agreement, we have made a "good faith" payment amounting to $350,000,
which was to be applied toward the purchase price upon completion of the
transaction. On December 8, 2004, we executed a new letter of intent which
superceded the August letter of intent in which we will lease, with an option to
buy, certain pieces of tire processing equipment owned by the third party. These
leases were executed in January 2005 and provide for aggregate monthly payments
of $25,300 over terms ranging from 48 to 60 months. In addition, we were granted
an exclusive purchase option to acquire additional operating assets of the third
party if predetermined financial performance criteria are met by the third party
during the subsequent fifteen to twenty four month period after December 8,
2004. The ultimate purchase price cannot be determined at this time. In return
for the exclusive purchase option, we issued 127,389 shares of our common stock
(valued at $200,000) to the third party. If we exercise our exclusive purchase
option and close a transaction, the value of the shares will be applied against
the purchase price of the assets. If the exclusive purchase option expires or we
decide not to exercise the option, the third party shall retain a sufficient
number of our shares to equal $200,000 (as of the date that the purchase option
expires) and return the balance of such shares of common stock to us. If at the
time the purchase option expires, the value of the shares is less than $200,000,
we will issue a sufficient number of additional shares to equal $200,000. In
connection with this agreement and based on the fair market value of our stock
at each quarter end, we maybe required to record an asset or liability based
upon the sufficient number of shares required to meet the requirements of the
agreement, as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equities". We have also agreed to use the $350,000 held in
escrow to prepare and move the leased equipment for our use. The $350,000 escrow
deposit is included in other long term assets.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

Generally, we are exposed to the effects of inflation and changing prices.
Primarily because the largest component of our collection and disposal costs is
transportation, we are adversely affected by significant increases in the cost
of fuel. Additionally, because we rely on floating-rate debt for certain
financing arrangements, rising interest rates would have a negative effect on
our performance.

Based on our fiscal 2005 operating plan, we believe that available working
capital together with revenues from operations, loans from affiliated and
unaffiliated lenders including additional funding from Laurus will be necessary
to satisfy our cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We lease various facilities and equipment under cancelable and
non-cancelable short and long term operating leases which are described in
Footnote 11 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our
annual report on Form 10-KSB.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Risks Related to our Business

We have lost money in the past nine consecutive quarters and may need additional
working capital, which if not received, may force us to curtail operations.

We have experienced nine consecutive quarters of net losses. While
management has identified several significant non-recurring charges which have
contributed to these losses, the continued, successful sales and marketing of
our services and products, the introduction of new products and the
re-establishment of profitable operations will be critical to our future
liquidity. If we are unable to return to profitability before our cash is
depleted, we will need to seek additional capital. There can be no assurance
that we will be profitable in the future or, if we are not, that we will be able
to obtain additional capital on terms and conditions acceptable to us or at all.

We have substantial indebtedness to Laurus Master Fund secured by substantially
all of our assets. If an event of default occurs under the secured notes issued
to Laurus, Laurus may foreclose on our assets and we may be forced to curtail
our operations or sell some of our assets to repay the notes.

On June 30, 2004, we entered into a $9 million credit facility with Laurus
pursuant to secured promissory notes and related agreements. Subject to certain
grace periods, the notes and agreements provide for the following events of
default (among others):

o failure to pay interest and principal when due;

o an uncured breach by us of any material covenant, term or condition in
any of the notes or related agreements;

o a breach by us of any material representation or warranty made in any
of the notes or in any related agreement;

o any money judgment or similar final process is filed against us for
more than $50,000;

o any form of bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is instituted by or
against us; and

o suspension of our common stock from our principal trading market for
five consecutive days or five days during any ten consecutive days.

In the event of a future default under our agreements with Laurus, Laurus
may enforce its rights as a secured party and we may lose all or a portion of
our assets, be forced to materially reduce our business activities or cease
operations.

We may require additional funding to sustain and grow our business, which
funding may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If we do not
obtain funding when we need it, our business may be adversely affected. In
addition, if we have to sell securities in order to obtain financing, the rights
of our current holders may be adversely affected.

We may have to seek additional outside funding sources to satisfy our
future financing demands if our operations do not produce the level of revenue
we require to maintain and grow our business. We will also need funding to
pursue acquisitions. We cannot assure you that outside funding will be available
to us at the time that we need it and in the amount necessary to satisfy our
needs, or, that if such funds are available, they will be available on terms
that are favorable to us. If we are unable to secure financing when we need it,
our business may be adversely affected. If we have to issue additional shares of
common stock or securities convertible into common stock in order to secure
additional funding, our current stockholders may experience dilution of their
ownership of our shares. In the event that we issue securities or instruments
other than common stock, we may be required to issue such instruments with
greater rights than those currently possessed by holders of our common stock.

In March 2003, a portion of our Georgia facility and several pieces of equipment
were damaged by fire; as a result we have experienced increased disposal costs
and reduced product revenue in Georgia.

On March 31, 2003, a portion of our Georgia facility and several pieces of
waste wire processing equipment were damaged by a fire, which resulted in
increased disposal costs and reduced product revenue in Georgia. These
conditions continued until the re-installation of the equipment was completed
and returned to operative status in November 2004.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits associated with the establishment of
our Tennessee operations.

In February 2003, as a result of experiencing significant market share
growth during the last two years, we announced our intent to open a new
high-volume tire processing facility in LaVergne, Tennessee. Historically, we
have transported all Tennessee-sourced tires to our Georgia facility for
processing. In July 2003, we began processing tires on a limited basis in
Tennessee utilizing excess and idle equipment from various GreenMan
subsidiaries. Until we are successful in purchasing the appropriate high-volume
shredding and ancillary equipment for our Tennessee facility, we will continue
to incur excess transportation costs necessitated by transporting
Tennessee-sourced tires to Georgia instead of processing them locally.

We initially allocated approximately $1 million of proceeds from the Laurus
credit facility to purchase necessary shredding equipment for our Tennessee
facility. In August 2004, we used $350,000 of the proceeds as a "good faith"
deposit with a third party towards the acquisition of certain processing
equipment that would be required in Tennessee. In December 2004, we executed a
Letter of Intent with the same third party, providing among other things our
agreement to lease certain pieces of tire processing equipment which was
initially intended to be utilized in Tennessee (See Note 8) and agreed to apply
the $350,000 to preparation and moving of the equipment to be leased. Due to
delays in identifying the appropriate remaining equipment for Tennessee, we
reallocated approximately $650,000 of the proceeds to be used to re-establish
our Georgia waste wire processing equipment line in November 2004 as well as
support the limited Tennessee operation during this period. During February
2005, we determined that based on increasing inbound tire volumes in the
Southeast and reduced existing processing capacity as well as equipment
reliability issues, we would install a majority of the new leased equipment in
Georgia in order to increase our plant processing capacity and reduce our
disposal expense. We are currently evaluating several alternatives which will
allow us to reduce our current operating losses in Tennessee during the second
quarter of fiscal 2005 which include but are not limited to continuation of
shredding on a limited basis in Tennessee. When the Tennessee facility is fully
operational, we estimate the cost savings realized by processing
Tennessee-sourced tires locally instead of transporting them to Georgia should
exceed $80,000 per month. No assurance can be given, however, that we will be
able to open this facility in a timely manner.

Improvement in our business depends on our ability to increase demand for our
products and services.

Adverse events or economic or other conditions affecting markets for our
products and services, potential delays in product development, product and
service flaws, changes in technology, changes in the regulatory environment and
the availability of competitive products and services are among a number of
factors that could limit demand for our products and services.

Our business is subject to extensive and rigorous government regulation; failure
to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could substantially harm our
business.

Our tire recycling activities are subject to extensive and rigorous
government regulation designed to protect the environment. The establishment and
operation of plants for tire recycling are subject to obtaining numerous permits
and compliance with environmental and other government regulations. The process
of obtaining required regulatory approvals can be lengthy and expensive. The
Environmental Protection Agency 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 us from obtaining, or affect the timing
of, regulatory approvals.

The market in which we operate is highly competitive, fragmented and
decentralized and our competitors may have greater technical and financial
resources.

The market for our services is highly competitive, fragmented and
decentralized. Many of our competitors are small regional or local businesses.
Some of our larger competitors may have greater financial and technical
resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new
or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote
greater resources to the promotion and sale of their services. Competition could
increase if new companies enter the markets in which we operate or our existing
competitors expand their service lines. These factors may limit or prevent any
further development of our business.

Our success depends on the retention of our senior management and other key
personnel.

Our success depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of
our senior management, particularly, Robert H. Davis, our Chief Executive
Officer; Charles E. Coppa, our Chief Financial Officer; Mark T. Maust, our
Midwest Regional Vice President; Thomas A. Carter, our Southeastern Regional
Vice President; and James C. Dodenhoff, our California Vice President. The loss
of any of these personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Seasonal factors may affect our quarterly operating results.

Seasonality may cause our total revenues to fluctuate. We typically process
fewer tires during the winter and experience a more pronounced volume reduction
in severe weather conditions. In addition, a majority of our crumb rubber is
used for playground and athletic surfaces, running tracks and
landscaping/groundcover applications which are typically installed during the
warmer portions of the year. Similar seasonal or other patterns may develop in
our business.

Inflation and Changing Prices may hurt our business.

If we acquire other companies or businesses, we will be subject to risks that
could hurt our business.

A significant part of our business strategy entails future acquisitions, or
significant investments in, businesses that offer complementary products and
services. Promising acquisitions are difficult to identify and complete for a
number of reasons. Any acquisitions completed by our company may be made at
substantial premiums over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired
companies, and competition may cause us to pay more for an acquired business
than its long-term fair market value. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to complete future acquisitions on terms favorable to us or at all. In
addition, we may not be able to integrate future acquired businesses, at all or
without significant distraction of management from our ongoing business. In
order to finance acquisitions, it may be necessary for us to issue shares of our
capital stock to the sellers of the acquired businesses and/or to seek
additional funds through public or private financings. Any equity or debt
financing, if available at all, may be on terms which are not favorable to us
and, in the case of an equity financing or the use of our stock to pay for an
acquisition, may result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

As we grow, we are subject to growth related risks.

We are subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and
pressure on our internal systems and personnel. In order to manage current
operations and any future growth effectively, we will need to continue to
implement and improve our operational, financial and management information
systems and to hire, train, motivate, manage and retain employees. We may be
unable to manage such growth effectively. Our management, personnel or systems
may be inadequate to support our operations, and we may be unable to achieve the
increased levels of revenue commensurate with the increased levels of operating
expenses associated with this growth. Any such failure could have a material
adverse impact on our business, operations and prospects. In addition, the cost
of opening new facilities and the hiring of new personnel for those facilities
could significantly decrease our profitability, if the new facilities do not
generate sufficient additional revenue.

Risks Related to the Securities Market

Our stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for
our shareholders.

Our common stock is thinly traded and an active public market for our stock
may not develop. Consequently, the market price of our common stock may be
highly volatile. Additionally, the market price of our common stock could
fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, some of which are
beyond our control:

o changes in market valuations of similar companies;

o announcements by us or by our competitors of new or enhanced products,
technologies or services or significant contracts, acquisitions,
strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

o regulatory developments;

o additions or departures of senior management and other key personnel;

o deviations in our results of operations from the estimates of
securities analysts; and

o future issuances of our common stock or other securities.

We have options, warrants and convertible promissory notes currently
outstanding. Exercise of these options and warrants, and conversions of these
promissory notes will cause dilution to existing and new shareholders. Future
sales of common stock by Laurus and our existing stockholders could result in a
decline in the market price of our stock.

As of December 31, 2004, we have options and warrants to purchase
approximately 6,986,359 shares of common stock outstanding in addition to
$6,000,000 of convertible promissory notes. The principal and interest amounts
of these notes are convertible into approximately 4,727,000 shares of common
stock. The exercise of our options and warrants, and the conversion of these
promissory notes, will cause additional shares of common stock to be issued,
resulting in dilution to investors and our existing stockholders. As of December
31, 2004, approximately 11,000,000 shares of our common stock were eligible for
sale in the public market. This represents approximately 58 percent of our
outstanding shares of common stock. After the effective date of our registration
statement on Form SB-2 was deemed effective on January 25, 2005, approximately
15,700,000 shares of our common stock will be eligible for resale in the public
market. Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the
public market could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock,
particularly in light of the illiquidity and low trading volume in our common
stock.

Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders own a significant
percentage of our shares, which will limit your ability to influence corporate
matters.

Our directors, executive officers and other principal stockholders owned
approximately 39 percent of our outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2004.
Accordingly, these stockholders could have a significant influence over the
outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our
stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all
or substantially all of our assets and also could prevent or cause a change in
control. The interests of these stockholders may differ from the interests of
our other stockholders. In addition, limited number of shares held in public
float effect the liquidity of our common stock. Third parties may be discouraged
from making a tender offer or bid to acquire us because of this concentration of
ownership.

We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate
paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have paid no cash dividends on our capital stock to date and we
currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development
and growth of our businesses. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our
common stock will be shareholders' sole source of gain for the foreseeable
future.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could
discourage potential acquisition proposals and could prevent, deter or delay a
change in control of our company.

Certain provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
could have the effect, either alone or in combination with each other, of
preventing, deterring or delaying a change in control of our company, even if a
change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. Delaware law may also
discourage, delay or prevent someone from acquiring or merging with us.

Environmental Liability

There are no known material environmental violations or assessments.

Item 3 Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2004. In designing and evaluating our
disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily
applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2004, our
disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material
information relating to the company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is
made known to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others
within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was
being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
