ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The environmental industry has evolved over the past three decades to address the industrial waste problems that the modern economy has caused. During most of this time the focus of industrial waste management has been on cost efficient risk aversion - a policy in which costs are balanced against the minimization of environmental harm, the traditional perspective being that there is always an adverse economic trade-off associated with environmental compliance. KBF Pollution Management, Inc. (the "Company") was founded to address the flaw in this perspective, the Company's founders realizing that the economic factors could in fact drive the environmental factors.

Recognizing that hazardous industrial wastes were valuable resources from which vast commodities could be reclaimed, the Company's founders set out to develop and refine a cost efficient industrial resource recovery technology to mine these resources and prevent the release of hazardous chemicals into the environment through selective separation at their source.. The Company's patented Selective Separation Technology™ ("SST™") (U.S. Pat. Nos.: 5,753,125; 5,908,559) and other patent-pending and proprietary resource recovery technologies are the result of this effort. The Company today is evolving the standard of environmental service with these technologies and the Company's new flagship Recycling and Commodity Manufacturing Center – a facility designed for the large-scale provision of a broad array of recycling services based on SST™ that is capable of processing more than 15,000,000 gallons and 50,000 tons of liquid and solid hazardous industrial wastes. There, innovative chemical and physical processes engineered for high process, reaction and cost efficiency are used to extract hazards from within industrial waste for reuse as raw materials in the Company's refining and manufacturing processes on a large-scale.

Recognizing that hazardous industrial wastes were valuable resources from which vast commodities could be reclaimed, the Company's founders set out to develop and refine a cost efficient industrial resource recovery technology to mine these resources and prevent the release of hazardous chemicals into the environment through selective separation at their source.. The Company's patented Selective Separation Technology™ ("SST™") (U.S. Pat. Nos.: 5,753,125; 5,908,559; 6,254,782) and other patent-pending and proprietary resource recovery technologies are the result of this effort. The Company today is evolving the standard of environmental service with these technologies and the Company's new flagship Recycling and Commodity Manufacturing Center - a facility designed for the large-scale provision of a broad array of recycling services based on SST™ that is capable of processing more than 15,000,000 gallons and 50,000 tons of liquid and solid hazardous industrial wastes per year. There, innovative chemical and physical processes engineered for high process, reaction and cost efficiency are used to extract hazards from within industrial waste for reuse as raw materials in the Company's refining and manufacturing processes on a large-scale.

The economics of the Company's business are compelling: the Company provides a competitively priced industrial waste management service which is the only viable cost-effective alternative to land-disposal, and manufactures an ore-quality commodity which is sold to direct metal manufacturers. The Company charges its raw materials suppliers to recycle and manufacture products for which the Company gets paid.

The economics of recycling become even more compelling when liability insurance and taxation are taken into account. Generators of hazardous industrial waste are liable for the safe and compliant handling of their waste. This is true even after a service provider is paid to remove and manage the waste for the generator. This liability, known in the industry as the 'Cradle-to-Grave' liability is joint, strict, several and perpetual, and essentially holds a generator liable for any environmental harm caused by their waste as long as that waste or any of its hazardous by-products exists in the environment (as in the case of landfill disposal). Recycling hazardous industrial waste with SST™ eliminates this liability, indemnifies generators against their future risks and qualifies them for potent exemptions from federal and state waste generation taxes. These savings translate to a powerful competitive edge.

The scalability of these economics and the very real benefits of recycling are the core drivers of the Company's growth today. With its technologies supplemented by a seasoned operational management team and large-scale production and distribution infrastructure, the Company is positioning its services to set a new standard for environmental service.

COMPANY BACKGROUND

The Company, a New York Corporation, was organized in 1984 under the name Kreisler Bags & Filtration, Inc., which name was changed to KBF Pollution Management, Inc. in 1986. The Company has traditionally specialized as a wastewater recycling service provider, recycling liquid hazardous and nonhazardous metal bearing wastes. Much of the Company's efforts in the years subsequent to its founding




ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

COMPANY BACKGROUND (continued)

were focused on the research, development and implementation of innovative technologies for the recycling of hazardous wastes. During this time the Company developed a strong local following for its services, the revenues from which were eventually leveraged into the Company's present growth initiatives - initiatives premised on safe, compliant and profitable infrastructure development and service distribution. The Company's long-term plans are to become the nation's premier recycling service provider by building and operating centralized recycling and commodity manufacturing facilities in key demographic regions, supported by a web of full service transfer and distribution centers.

In 1998, the Company began construction and operations in its first large-scale recycling and commodity manufacturing center in Paterson, New Jersey. This facility operates as American Metals Recovery, Corp. ("AMRC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company invested aggressively in this facility through 1999 and 2000 while AMRC's recycling of liquid wastes and solid wastes continued.

In May 2000, after having largely completed its several million-dollar investment in process infrastructure, the Company executed a service distribution joint venture agreement with R.M. Jones & Company, Inc. ("R.M. Jones"), a New-England based environmental services provider with sales management and a sales force experienced in hazardous waste sales. This agreement resulted in a greatly increased recycling service volume for AMRC in 2000 and 2001. In June 2001, the Company executed a similar agreement with Ecoflo, Inc., a Greensboro, North Carolina based environmental services provider. Several similar agreements are in currently in various stages of negotiation.

The New England and Northeastern regional markets generate roughly 50 million tons of recyclable liquid and solid industrial wastes annually. The Company's facility, unique in North America, is designed for annual service capacity of 50,000 tons of solid waste and 15 million gallons of liquid waste. During 1999, 2000 and 2001, the facility processed approximately 1.6, 2.0 and 2.4 million gallons of liquid waste, respectively, and less than 1,000, 5,000 and 9,000 tons of solid waste, respectively.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Most chemical wastes generated in the United States by industrial processes have been handled onsite at the generators' facilities. Over the past 30 years, increased public awareness of the harmful effects of unregulated disposal of chemical wastes on the environment and health has led to fedral, state and local regulation of chemical waste management activities. The statutes regulating the management of chemical wastes include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended ("RCRA"), the Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA") and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("Superfund"), and are primarily administered by the federal Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). This body of laws and regulations by federal and state environmental regulatory agencies impose stringent standards for the management of chemical wastes and provide penalties for violators, as well as continuing liability by generators and others for past disposal and environmental degradation. As a result of the increased liability exposure associated with chemical waste management activities and a corresponding decrease in the availability of insurance and significant cost increases in administering compliance and facility capital improvements, many generators of chemical wastes have found it uneconomical to maintain their own treatment and disposal facilities or to develop and maintain the technical expertise necessary to assure regulatory compliance. Accordingly, many generators have sought to have their chemical wastes managed by firms that possess both the appropriate treatment and disposal facilities, as well as the expertise and financial resources necessary to attain and maintain compliance with applicable environmental regulatory requirements. At the same time, governmental regulation has resulted in a




ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

MARKET OVERVIEW (continued)

reduction of the number of facilities available for chemical waste treatment, storage or disposal, as many facilities have been unable to meet the strict standards imposed by RCRA or other laws.

Service providers in the hazardous waste market can be broadly subdivided into two classes: Destinations and Distributors. Destinations include landfills, incinerators and recycling facilities with process or disposal capabilities. Distributors are sales and marketing organizations with transportation, transfer, storage and distribution infrastructure. The Company's New Jersey recycling and commodity manufacturing center is a new and unique type of destination. Destinations typically charge wholesale prices to distributors and, in some cases, market direct on a retail basis. The Company's business model is partially premised on marketing direct to the retail markets in geographies populated by the Company's internal distribution infrastructure, and marketing on a wholesale basis in geographies the Company has yet to develop with its own distribution infrastructure.

Destinations with process capabilities and a viable means to bring their offerings to market have distinct price and service advantages over distributors due to the incremental profitability inherent in processing. Such entities have price diversification capability. This capability is augmented in the proximate region of a destination due to lower transportation and logistic costs. The Company has price diversification capability due to the extent of the Company's process infrastructure and its proximity to the region. More importantly, the Company offers a differentiated service dramatically unlike any other North American destination. The Company has enjoyed accelerated growth rates of sales with incremental profitability due to the potent competitive advantage that the Company's technologies and process infrastructure presents, as well as powerful regulatory provisions that incentivise recycling.

The environmental services industry is driven by four equally critical interrelated factors: Regulation, Liability, Service and Price. First and foremost, the market is driven by federal and state regulations governing the safe handling of materials hazardous to human health and the environment. These regulations are premised on the minimization of the risks of harm that may arise from the point wastes are generated (their 'cradle' in industry vernacular) to the point the wastes are ultimately disposed (their 'grave'). The regulations contain potent exemptions for preventing and eliminating risks of harm through recycling and reuse. These exemptions are based on the fact that in recycling and reuse situations, particularly for the Company, hazardous materials cease to exist in the environment, and are no longer considered hazardous because their chemical and/or physical state has been altered. By contrast, in disposal situations hazards merely lie dormant where they may one day impact human health or the environment. The significance of the recycling exemptions is three-fold: (a) they create the regulatory structure within which the Company operates, (b) they enable the Company's customers ('generators') to receive exemptions from federal and state waste generation taxes and (c) they allow generators to reduce the administrative and logistical costs associated with disposal. Extensive sanctions and penalties apply to any entity (generator, transporter, distributor or destination) that does not manage hazardous wastes in a manner compliant with applicable federal and state regulations.

The potential for future harm associated with disposal or incineration creates the potential for future liability. Generators of hazardous wastes are strictly, jointly, severally and perpetually liable for any damage or harm caused by their wastes, regardless of whether or not a third party disposed of the generator's waste in a landfill. This liability is known as the 'cradle-to-grave' liability, and is a powerful driver because harm to human health and the environment can be very expensive, and the Company can eliminate this liability and potential long-term exposure for the generator. Liability serves to create an industry-wide preference among generators to recycle or reuse their wastes if technically and economically viable.




ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

MARKET OVERVIEW (continued)

Generators today expect their environmental service provider to have the capability of servicing all of their needs - recycling and disposal - in a safe manner, fully compliant with applicable federal and state regulations. In a geography populated by distributors with little to no service or price differentiation, the smallest slip in complying with regulatory protocols can result in the permanent loss of a customer, and a good safety and compliance record is often a precondition to making the initial sale. Service differentiation in the form of recycling is the best means of customer attraction currently available, but safe and compliant execution is necessary to customer retention.

For many generators, the bottom line is the beginning and end of the purchasing process, which, in the final analysis, means that price is the threshold driver. There is little room for price differentiation in regions populated solely by distributors. While larger distributors enjoy greater economies of scale and therefore have greater price point flexibility, price advantage is typically defined by the extent to which a distributor is willing to decrease their profit margin to make a sale. Destinations, such as the Company's New Jersey facility, enjoy inherent price advantages in their regional geography on the basis of the reduced cost structure associated with centralized processing. The Company has a further price advantage because generators who recycle their wastes can qualify for significant tax exemptions that have a net depreciative effect on the generator's gross costs. This gives the Company the ability to charge premiums on recycling services and at the same time be more competitive than a disposal or incineration option.

COMPETITION

The hazardous waste industry is best characterized today as being fragmented. Service quality and type differs from region to region and pricing accordingly is subject to extreme variance from region to region. The Company's principal competition takes the form of disposal in landfill or incineration in general. While there are many companies that provide waste management services (some of which are of considerable size) no single company holds what the Company's Management feels to be a dominant position with significant competitive advantage or a focused suite of core competencies.

Companies of moderate to very small size exist that offer distinct regional services that, to a small extent, compete with the Company's recycling services. No single company, however, offers as diverse an array of services and the capability to process as many waste streams as the Company. The Company's unique, patented and proprietary technologies, in conjunction with its unique large-scale process infrastructure, make possible the ready ability to recycle more waste streams than any other recycling service provider. This technological process capability is viewed by Management as its core competitive advantage.

CUSTOMERS

The Company's recycling and commodity manufacturing infrastructure gives the Company the ready capability of servicing industrial clients across many sectors of industry on a much broader scale than any other environmental service provider today. The Company has in excess of two thousand active customers, with many thousand different industrial wastes. Representative companies serviced by the Company include: Circuit-Wise, Inc., Gould Electronics, Macdermid Corporation, Moen, National Chromium, Pamarco, Piconics, OSRAM Sylvania, Sanmina, Sartomer, SPI Polyols, Sturm Ruger & Company, Inc., Titeflex Corporation, Tyco Companies, USR Optonix, a division of Mitsubishi Chemical, and Watts Regulator.

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

The Company's patented 'Selective Separation Technology' (U.S. Pat. Nos.: 5,753,125; 5,908,559; 6,254,782) and other patent-pending and proprietary Resource Recovery Technologies separate, remove and recover a wide range of metals from liquid and solid wastes as well as other production and

manufacturing media. Through resource recovery, the Company's technologies recycle metals, both hazardous and non-hazardous, in their elemental state at highly competitive prices. Wastes managed with the Company's technologies become products that are comparable and superior to the quality of virgin ore material extracted from the ground. Use of the Company's technologies eliminates the federally mandated 'cradle-to-grave' liability for which a waste generator would otherwise remain perpetually liable. The Company's technologies apply to manufacturing, industrial and municipal waste processes that contain metals or otherwise produce a metal bearing waste by-product. The Company has many other patent-pending and proprietary resource recovery technologies and processes. The Company is able to utilize these technologies in its operations pursuant to a license agreement (executed and ratified by the shareholders of the Company in 1997) between Mr. Lawrence M. Kreisler, co-founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company. For more information, SST™ technical specifications are available online in the Technology section of the Company's corporate internet site at www.kbf-pmi.com.

ECONOMY OF SCALE: THE PROFITABILITY OF RECYCLING

The Company's New Jersey facility attained its break-even revenue benchmark (before depreciation and taxes) in December 2000. Powerful economies of scale take effect beyond this point as revenues appreciate beyond the Company's fixed and variable costs. The economics of recycling are driven in part by centralized operations, taking advantage of associated logistical and production efficiencies. The Company's recycling service revenues for 2001 were up more than 25% over 2000, and were in excess of 60% greater in 2000 than in 1999, and the associated gross profit increased by more than 15% in 2001 over 2000. Management is confident that these increases are not irregular occurrences, but rather evidence of a long-term trend that Management expects to continue for the foreseeable future.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT: ACQUISITION OF DIVISION OF R.M. JONES & CO., INC.

On December 19, 2001, the Company announced its execution of a non-binding letter of intent with R.M. Jones, pursuant to which, and subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including the completion of due diligence and execution of a definitive agreement between the companies, the Company would acquire the environmental services division of R.M. Jones. KBF has secured a commitment for $1,500,000 in debt financing for the acquisition from a commercial lender with the guarantee of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the personal guarantee of KBF's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Lawrence M. Kreisler.

R.M. Jones was founded in 1962, and has been providing hazardous waste management services to clients throughout New England since 1980. The environmental services division of R.M. Jones currently has several hundred active customers with over five thousand different industrial wastes. In 1998, R.M. Jones acquired a 50% stake in a Part B permitted treatment, storage and transfer facility in Lowell, Massachusetts and, in March 2002, acquired the remaining 50% interest in this facility. This facility is one of only seven such facilities in New England and managed well over thirty thousand containers of hazardous industrial waste in calendar year 2000. It was the only facility in New England to receive the Environmental Information Ltd. award for perfect regulatory compliance in 1999 and 2000, and is expected to receive this award again for 2001. The acquisition will include R.M. Jones' interest in this facility. R.M. Jones' environmental services division generated more than $13 million in revenue in 2001. The Company is targeting the consolidated organization to generate $18 million in sales in the first year after the acquisition, and expects revenue growth at a rate in excess of 20% per year for at least the next three years once the acquisition is completed. The Company projects revenues exceeding $25 million within two years in the absence of additional acquisitions. The Company has yet to execute a definitive agreement with R.M. Jones, but expects to complete the acquisition in the second quarter 2002 or early third quarter 2002 depending on the timing of completion of certain transactional issues.




ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT: MATERIAL CONTRACT

On December 12, 2001, the Company reported its execution of a seven year recycling services agreement valued in excess of $21,000,000 with a domestic distributor of industrial by-products. Under the terms of the agreement the Company will provide an array of recycling services worth an estimated $3,000,000 annually. The agreement requires that the identity of the distributor remain confidential for competitive reasons. The agreement provides for the distribution of various by-products to the Company's facility for recycling with the Company's recycling technologies and the sale of any products recovered by the Company. Full-scale production as contemplated by the agreement is expected to begin in the 3rd Quarter 2002. Revenues realized under the agreement will be dependent upon fluctuations in certain relevant commodity valuations. Based on the targeted volumes to be distributed under the agreement, and the Company's experience, the agreement is estimated to range in annual value from $2,250,000 at the minimum anticipated levels of production, to $4,750,000 at full production.

PROCESS INFRASTRUCTURE.

Since commencement of construction in January 1998, the Company has invested in excess of $3.5 million dollars in the construction of its process infrastructure. The Company's process infrastructure includes a wastewater treatment operation, a solids drying operation and a physical reaction operation. The wastewater treatment operation has been designed to efficiently implement SST™ for a very broad array of inorganic liquid wastes. At this stage, commodities are prepared and extracted from incoming liquids. The extracted commodities are then routed to the solids drying operation, which is also the first stage of processing for direct incoming solids. After drying and physical reaction, the commodities are in the form of dense metallic ore powders. The physiochemical state of these ore powders is then altered to dramatically increase their commodity valuation. For more information, a virtual tour is available online in the Generator Resources section of the Company's corporate internet site at www.kbf-pmi.com.

ELECTRONIC COMMERCE: TSDONLINE.COM.

The Company utilizes TSDonline.com, the nation's first internet-based environmental services provider with an established bricks-and-mortar distribution infrastructure, and the only online service in the industry that is not based on an auction-model but rather allows generators to receive instantaneous online quotations. TSDonline has been developed to enable the Company and its customers to leverage the efficiencies of the internet to reduce regulatory and administrative costs and streamline productivity. The Company is targeting to reduce its regulatory and administrative costs and increase net profit margins through TSDonline.com. TSDonline.com's beta site can be accessed at www.tsdonline.com.

SUBSIDIARIES AND DIVISIONS

On May 6, 1997, the Company formed three corporations: Gryphon Industries, Inc., New World Recycling, Inc. ("New World") (formerly AMR, Inc.) and American Metals Recovery, Corp. pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada. American Metals Recovery, Corp. was activated in December 1997 to operate the New Jersey facility as discussed above. New World was activated in late 1998 for the purpose of an expansion project. As of the date hereof, only Gryphon Industries, Inc. remains inactive, no stock has been issued and remains available for future use. KBF Environmental Services, Inc. ("KBFES") was organized in conjunction with a joint venture agreement signed on May 6, 2000, between the Company and R.M. Jones, owned 80% by the Company and 20% by R.M. Jones. KBFES provided revenue for the Company utilizing the existing sales force of both R.M. Jones and the Company. The agreement provides for the issuance of 5 million stock options to R.M. Jones, to be granted upon completion of performancebased benchmarks. KBFES ceased operations on December 31, 2001 and will be dissolved in the near term in anticipation of the Company's acquisition of the environmental services division of R.M. Jones, however the Company's joint venture agreement with R.M. Jones will continue to operate as a division of the Company.




ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Logistics such as transportation and inventory control are critical to the Company's operations. To assist the Company in its management of its logistics, the Company uses the services of Metal Recovery Transportation, Corp. ("MRTC"). Mr. Lawrence M. Kreisler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is the president and sole shareholder of MRTC (see "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions") and personally solely financed the acquisition of MRTC's fleet at a time when the Company was unable to do so. MRTC is licensed to transport hazardous waste in a territory spanning from Michigan to Georgia to Maine. The Company uses MRTC's fleet to control the Company's distribution logistic at a greatly reduced cost as compared to unaffiliated licensed transporters, however, the Company also utilizes other unaffiliated licensed transport companies to supplement MRTC's capabilities. Mr. Lawrence Kreisler receives no salary or other distribution from MRTC.

CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING PLAN

In January 2000, the Company began implementing its Corporate Restructuring Plan with the principal objective of restructuring the Company into a full service environmental services company with the ability to scale significantly beyond the Company's current operations. Primary targets of the plan include the acquisition of several qualified environmental services companies and investment in continued vertical integration of the Company's process capabilities. Under the Plan the Company will aggressively seek to acquire and/or enter into strategic alliances and joint ventures with related companies, in the process securing additional experienced management, talented sales personnel, additional infrastructure and the means to maximize the distribution of the Company's existing and anticipated new services.

SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN

In 2000, the Company enacted a Share Repurchase Plan, further to which the Company plans to commit at least five percent of its recycling net pre-tax revenues and at least thirty-three percent of option exercise proceeds towards repurchases over the next five years as the Company satisfies certain financial performance thresholds discussed below. Under the Repurchase Plan, the stock may be purchased in the open market, by block purchase, or by privately negotiated transactions from time to time in compliance with the SEC's Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The Repurchase Plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. Shares repurchased will be held in the treasury for general corporate purposes or retired. The first stock repurchases under the Repurchase Plan occurred early in 2000, and further purchases are planned as revenues increase and with the Company's realization of sustainable profitability in the Company's Paterson, New Jersey facility. The Company is presently seeking financing to support and accelerate purchases under the Repurchase Plan.

OPTION NOTE PLAN

In May 2001, the Company implemented an Option Note Exercise Plan to allow for the exercise of employee and qualified consultant options by payment of an interest-bearing note. Employees that elect to participate in this plan must voluntarily retire five percent (5%) of the total number of options exercised and agree to a oneyear lock-up of the exercised shares. Shares exercised under this plan may only be released on a pro-rated basis as the relevant option note is satisfied.

EMPLOYEES

The Company currently has forty full-time employees. In addition to its five executive officers, the company employs a staff attorney, sales personnel, staff engineers, process managers, maintenance managers, administrative personnel and general facility technicians. There is no union representation for any of the Company's employees and the Company considers its relations with its employees satisfactory.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere in this annual report.

December 31, 2001 as Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 2000

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $3,278,592 as compared to $3,163,307 for the same period in 2000, corresponding to an increase of 3.65%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $113,690 as compared to $(1,246,318) for the same period in 2000, corresponding to an increase of 109%. The modest increase in total revenue is predominately due to the Company's decreased focus on field services as opposed to recycling (or, facilitybased) services, which provide for substantially greater profit margins. Recycling service revenue increased 25.19% to $3,164,005, from $2,527,394 for the same period in 2000. Field service revenue decreased from $635,913 in 2000 to $114,587 in 2001. The increase in recycling service revenue accounts for the material increases in gross profit discussed below. The Company attributes these increased revenues to the Company's recent aggressive investment in recycling service sales and the expansion of the Company's Recycling and Commodity Manufacturing Center. Management expects this upward trend to continue.

Trade accounts receivable on December 31, 2001 were $589,317. These receivables are reduced by an allowance for bad debts in the amount of $29,465, which, based upon the Company's collection history, management believes is adequate. Trade accounts receivable has increased 2.93% as compared to December 31, 2000. Current trade accounts receivable are aged as follows:

0-30 days $224,336
30-60 days 139,594
60-90 days 98,368
90+ days 127,019

Total $589,317

Cost of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased to 77.04% of revenues from 90.48% of revenues for the same period in 2000. This decrease is primarily due to the favorable economies of scale




ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

associated with the Company's increased recycling services volume and reduced revenue from field services work, which provides significantly lower profit margins. The Company expects the cost of operations to continue to decline in future periods as recycling services volume continues to increase.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 49.29% to $773,554 for the year ended December 31, 2001, from $1,525,309 for the comparable period in 2000. This decrease is primarily due to the decreased office staff costs of approximately $60,000, decreased professional fees of approximately $122,000, decreased executive cash salaries of approximately $146,000, decreased shareholder related costs of approximately $35,000, decreased employment agency fees and other expenses of approximately $72,000, decreased bad debts of approximately $160,000, decreased office expenses of approximately of $12,000, decreased costs related to payroll taxes and fringes of approximately $30,000, decreased costs related to prior periods adjusted in the current period of approximately $106,000, the non-recurrence of administrative permit fees of approximately $15,000 and other miscellaneous cost reductions of approximately $43,000, offset by an option valuation charge of approximately $50,000 in 2001, absent in 2000 . The Company expects general and administrative costs to increase in future periods with the reinstatement of certain executive salaries and anticipated new hires.

Selling expenses decreased by 36.25%, or approximately $104,000, to $182,802 for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $286,910 for the comparable period in 2000. This decrease is due to the decline in employed salesman and certain related miscellaneous selling expenses in conjunction with the company's current marketing strategies. The Company expects a modest increase in selling costs during 2002, due to its ongoing sales and marketing efforts related to the expansion of its recycling and commodity manufacturing center and the activities of KBF Environmental Services, Inc.

Interest income decreased to zero for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to $509 earned during the same period in 2000. Management does not expect to earn any significant interest during the 2002. Interest expense decreased by $17,734, due to the ongoing repayment of capital lease obligations. Management anticipates an increase in interest expense in 2002 due to the financing of additional equipment.

The Company incurred a net loss of $(276,752) during 2001, an 81.17% improvement from the net loss of $(1,575,683) for the same period in 2000. This improvement is largely attributable to the increased revenues and decreased costs described above.

Results of operations for the year Ending
December 31, 2000 as Compared to the Year Ended
December 31, 1999

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $3,163,307 as compared to $2,858,424 for the same period in 1999, an increase of 10.67% in the aggregate. The Company attributes this increase in revenues to the Company's recent sales activities, through KBF Environmental Services, Inc., and the expansion of the Company's recycling and commodity manufacturing center, resulting in increased market penetration. Management expects this upward trend to continue.

Trade accounts receivable has increased 23.31% as compared to December 31, 1999. Current trade accounts receivable are aged as follows:

0-30 days $202,859
30-45 days 129,686
45-60 days 72,312
60-90 days 130,381
90-120 days 15,437
120+ days 21,841

Total $572,516



ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

An allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $28,744 has been provided against the foregoing receivables, which are presented on the Balance Sheet net of the allowance. Based upon the Company's collection history, Management believes this allowance is adequate.

Trade accounts receivable collected in cash subsequently through March 27, 2001 was $693,051. The Company now offers its customers the ability to pay their accounts online or over the phone by credit card. Management expects this to have a positive impact on the Company's collection activities.

The cost of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased to 90% of revenue from 74% of revenue for the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily due to increased labor costs (approximately $162,000), utility costs (approximately $74,000), transportation costs (approximately $248,000), product shipment and processing costs (approximately $79,000), reagent costs (approximately $77,000) and tools and supplies (approximately $84,000) all of which were incurred to prepare the facility for increased production related to the company's sales and marketing activities, and to higher costs related to certain site work contracts. Management estimates that its present cost of operations has decreased to less than 84% of revenue and anticipates that the cost of operations will continue to decline in future periods as volume increases.

General and administrative expenses increased by 17% to $1,525,309 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $1,269,124 for the comparable period in 1999. This increase is primarily due to increases in management and administrative personnel (approximately $35,000), expensing costs related to the Company's expansion project, previously capitalized (approximately $48,000), nonrecurring bad debts related to product sales (approximately $129,000), information system, employment advertisements, and agency fees (approximately $67,000) and a nonrecurring license fee (approximately $102,000), which are offset by the elimination of nonrecurring costs from 1999 (approximately $140,000). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in administrative expenses attributable to Mr. Kreisler's election to receive all of his salary in the form of options, commencing August 2000. Management estimates that its present general and administrative expenses are below the adjusted 1999 level of approximately $1,130,000 on an annual basis, including cash salary to all officers commensurate with their employment contracts.

Selling expenses increased by 30% to $286,910 for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $220,539 for the same period in 1999. This increase is due to the Company's expanded sales and marketing efforts related to the expansion of its facility and the activities of KBF Environmental Services, Inc.

The bad debt expense of $350,820 is the result of Management's change in its estimate as to the collectability of the royalty receivable relating to the now terminated licensing agreement (see Financial Statement Notes Nos. 3 & 9). Based upon events occurring during 1999, Management now believes that collection of this royalty receivable is remote and has revised its allowance against the receivable to be 100% thereof, resulting in the foregoing bad debt expense. 

Research and development decreased by 47% to $114,697 in 2000 as compared to $220,539 during 1999. The research and development expenses relate to the Company's development of methodology to be used by New World upon commencement of operations of its expansion project. Interest expense increased by 122% to $49,964 in 2000 as compared to $22,466 during 1999. This increase is due to equipment acquired under capital leases during the latter part of 1999 and 2000.

The Company incurred a net loss of $1,575,683 for the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to a net loss of $1,397,479 for the same period in 1999. This loss is due to the increases in costs discussed above. Management believes that the continued focus on sales, coupled with the completion of the Company's expansion project and the continued growth efforts being undertaken by Management, will result in increased volume and decreased cost. Increased volume, coupled with the decreased cost of operations and decreased general and administrative expenses, described above, will have a significant positive impact on the Company's net income during future periods.




ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has working capital of $(228,375) at December 31, 2001. This amount is computed by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. Accounts payable and accrued expenses include $192,039 of liabilities, which the Company expects will be converted to equity through payment in common stock and option exercises. Management additionally intends to avail itself of deferments on certain liabilities. These modifications adjust the working capital to a slightly positive position.

The Company's current operations, before depreciation and after debt service, provide a positive cash flow. Management intends to continue to utilize this cash flow to improve its working capital position, complete its expansion of the facility and increase sales in the immediate term. Management believes that projected increases in sales will have a positive impact on cash flows from operations and will provide sufficient working capital for the next twelve months.

CERTAIN EVENTS

The Company is not party to any material legal disputes. The Company is involved in various minor collection matters in which the Company and vendors are seeking payment for services rendered and goods provided.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In May 1996, a new company was formed to service the transportation needs of the Company. The new company, Metal Recovery Transportation Corp. ("MRTC") was financed solely by Mr. Lawrence M. Kreisler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company at a time when the Company was unable to do so (See "Description of Business, Transportation Services"). MRTC is licensed to transport hazardous waste in a territory spanning from Michigan to Georgia to Maine. MRTC billed the company $480,870 and $566,675 in 2000 and 2001 respectively. The Company uses MRTC's fleet to control the Company's distribution logistic at a greatly reduced cost as compared to unaffiliated licensed transporters and MRTC has operated at virtually break-even levels since inception. Mr. Lawrence Kreisler receives no salary or other distribution from MRTC. Management believes that the Company is benefiting from favorable pricing as compared to that which could be obtained from unrelated parties.

In November 1997, the Company executed a License Agreement with Lawrence Kreisler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Kreisler granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive license to Mr. Kreisler's patent rights (See "Description of Business - Patents and Proprietary Information"). The Company may assign or sub-license the License. Mr. Kreisler is to receive a royalty fee based on a per gallon rate which differs according to the type and quantity of material processed. The License Agreement has a minimum 15-year term which time changes to 5-year evergreen term. In accordance with the License Agreement, the condition upon which royalty payments begin to accrue has to be satisfied by the Company before the obligation to pay royalties begins. The Company provided no financial support for any improvements or related inventions to Mr. Kreisler's processes which might or have resulted in additional patents being issued to Mr. Kreisler.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

CORPORATE ORGANIZATION

KBF Pollution Management, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of New York on March 15, 1984, with an initial authorized capitalization of 200 shares of No Par Common capital stock, which was later increased to 500,000,000 shares of 0.00001 Par Value Common stock. On May 6, 1997, Gryphon Industries, Inc., American Metals Recovery Corp., and New World Recycling, Inc. (formerly AMR, Inc.) (the Subsidiaries) were formed pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada. During the second quarter of 2000, the company formed KBF Environmental Services, Inc., a 80% owned subsidiary.

The Company, through American Metals Recovery, Corp.,("AMRC") a wholly owned subsidiary, is actively engaged in the environmental services business as described in the executive summary above. The Company operates predominately in the Northeast region.

New World Recycling, Inc. (formerly AMR, Inc.) ("New World") became active in 1998 when KBF incurred capitalized costs to initiate debt financing, which were exchanged for stock, thereby making it a wholly owned subsidiary of KBF. Throughout 1999, 2000, and 2001 New World purchased and installed various items of equipment which comprise a portion of the Company's solids processing capabilities and are set to begin operations in 2002.

Gryphon Industries, Inc. is inactive and available for future use.

KBF Environmental Services, Inc. ("KBFES") was organized in conjunction with a joint venture agreement signed on May 6, 2000, between the Company and R.M. Jones, owned 80% by the Company and 20% by R.M. Jones. KBFES provided revenue for the Company utilizing the existing sales force of both R.M. Jones and the Company. The agreement provides for the issuance of 5 million stock options to R.M. Jones, to be granted upon completion of performance-based benchmarks. KBFES ceased operations on December 31, 2001 and will be dissolved in the near term in anticipation of the Company's acquisition of the environmental services division of R.M. Jones, however the Company's joint venture agreement with R.M. Jones will continue to operate as a division of the Company.




NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Environmental Services: Recovery service revenues are recognized and invoiced as such services are completed.

Non-Expendable Stock, Parts, and Drums: Non-expendable stock, parts, and drums represent an imprest supply of items which generally have a life of one year or less. The level of this supply is adjusted as a function of the company's sales volume. Replacements are expensed as incurred. The value of these assets at each balance sheet date is not materially different than the depreciated cost of the individual assets on hand on that date.

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE UNDER SFAS 123

The effect of applying SFAS No. 123 on 2001 and 2000 pro forma net loss, as stated below, is not necessarily representative of the effects on reported net income (loss) for future years, due to, among other things, the vesting period of the stock options and the fair value of additional stock options in future years. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option grants to employees been determined based upon fair value at the grant date, consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) in 2001 and 2000 would have been $(1,464,133) and $(2,720,576) or $(0.02) and $(0.03) per share, respectively. The fair value of options granted during 2001 and 2000 ranged from $0.05 - $0.06, and $0.06 - $0.19, respectively, on the date of the grant, using the Black- Scholes option-pricing model, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, volatility of 122.6% for 2001 and 2000, and a risk-free interest rate of 6.5 for 2001 and 2000.

NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

EXECUTIVE SALARIES

Since January 1, 2002, Mr. Lawrence M. Kreisler and Ms. Kathi Kreisler continue to receive reduced cash salaries, and Mr. Kevin Kreisler receives no cash salary. It is anticipated that these parties will accept options for payment of these deficiencies. The Company has incurred the obligation to issue additional options to these parties and others in lieu of cash salaries. The Company anticipates the initiation of full cash salaries to these parties in or before June 2002 as the Company satisfies targeted revenue and profitability benchmarks.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT: ACQUISITION OF DIVISION OF R.M. JONES & CO., INC.

On December 19, 2001, the Company announced its execution of a non-binding letter of intent with R.M. Jones, pursuant to which, and subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including the completion of due diligence and execution of a definitive agreement between the companies, the Company would acquire the environmental services division of R.M. Jones. KBF has secured a commitment for $1,500,000 in debt financing for the acquisition from a commercial lender with the guarantee of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the personal guarantee of KBF's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Lawrence M. Kreisler. See Item 1, Description of Business, above, for additional information regarding R.M. Jones and the Company's intended acquisition.

In 1998, R.M. Jones acquired a 50% stake in a Part B permitted treatment, storage and transfer facility in Lowell, Massachusetts and, in March 2002, acquired the remaining 50% interest in this facility. The acquisition will include R.M. Jones' interest in this facility.

R.M. Jones' environmental services division generated more than $13 million in revenue in 2001. The Company is targeting the consolidated organization to generate $18 million in sales in the first year after the acquisition, and expects revenue growth at a rate in excess of 20% per year for at least the next three years once the acquisition is completed. The Company projects revenues exceeding $25 million within two years in the absence of additional acquisitions. The Company has yet to execute a definitive agreement with R.M. Jones, but expects to complete the acquisition in the second quarter 2002 or early third quarter 2002 depending on the timing of completion of certain transactional issues.

CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING PLAN

In anticipation of the completion of the R.M. Jones acquisition, the Company's Board of Directors, in March 2002, approved to dissolve KBF Environmental Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to form a new, as-yet unnamed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to change the name of American Metals Recovery, Corp. to KBF Metal Recovery, Corp., to acquire Metal Recovery Transportation, Corp., and to acquire the various letters patent and associated intellectual properties currently licensed by the Company from Mr. Lawrence M. Kreisler, the Company's co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. New World Recycling, Inc., the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, and Metal Recovery Transportation, Corp. will become subsidiaries of KBF Metal Recovery, Corp. The Company is currently obtaining an independent valuation of Metal Recovery Transportation, Corp., but anticipates that the acquisition will be completed for nominal value. The Company's Board of Directors has approved the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company into an escrow account for the benefit of Mr. Kreisler pending the Company's completion of an independent valuation of the various letters patent and associated intellectual properties as well as the execution of a definitive agreement for the acquisition of same. The Company's Board of Directors further resolved to acquire the Paterson, New Jersey property and premises within which the Company currently operates its proprietary recycling and commodity manufacturing processes and, because the Company's efforts to complete the infrastructure development of this facility have been undercapitalized, the Board of Directors resolved to raise suitable financing both to acquire this property and expedite completion of the Company's facility.




NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)

CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING PLAN (continued)

The Company is seeking additional qualified acquisition candidates with capabilities that complement and enhance the Company's core competencies. Any such transaction is highly speculative and would be targeted for completion after consummation of the Company's acquisition of the environmental services division of R.M. Jones. The Company's Board of Directors has resolved to secure sufficient financing and/or the sufficient investment banking relationship(s) necessary to complete these additional acquisitions.

NEW SUBSIDIARY: KBF COMMODITIES, INC.

In January 2002, the Company formed a new subsidiary, KBF Commodities, Inc. ("KBFC"), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a joint venture agreement executed in January 2002. This subsidiary is owned 80% by the Company and 20% by KBFC's employees, who will contribute financial resources as may be required by the working capital needs of the business. KBFC will distribute various industrial by-products for the Company and will develop the Southeastern domestic retail environmental services markets. KBFC currently has approximately 100 active customers and has entered into several significant agreements for the provision of recycling services. The Company expects KBFC to generate in excess of $1.2 million in revenues within its first year of operation.

OTHER MATTERS

The Company has agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to reduce long term debt of the Company by $100,000.

NOTE 20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In May 1996, a new company was formed to service the transportation needs of the Company. The new company, Metal Recovery Transportation Corp. ("MRTC") was financed solely by Mr. Lawrence M. Kreisler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company at a time when the Company was unable to do so. MRTC is licensed to transport hazardous waste in a territory spanning from Michigan to Georgia to Maine. MRTC billed the company $480,870 and $566,675 in 2000 and 2001 respectively. The Company uses MRTC's fleet to control the Company's distribution logistic at a greatly reduced cost as compared to unaffiliated licensed transporters and MRTC has operated at virtually break-even levels since inception. Mr. Lawrence Kreisler receives no salary or other distribution from MRTC. Management believes that the Company is benefiting from favorable pricing as compared to that which could be obtained from unrelated parties.

In November 1997, the Company executed a License Agreement with Lawrence Kreisler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Kreisler granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive license to Mr. Kreisler's patent rights (See "Description of Business - Patents and Proprietary Information"). The Company may assign or sub-license the License. Mr. Kreisler is to receive a royalty fee based on a per gallon rate which differs according to the type and quantity of material processed. The License Agreement has a minimum 15-year term which time changes to 5-year evergreen term. In accordance with the License Agreement, the condition upon which royalty payments begin to accrue has to be satisfied by the Company before the obligation to pay royalties begins. The Company provided no financial support for any improvements or related inventions to Mr. Kreisler's processes which might or have resulted in additional patents being issued to Mr. Kreisler.

Mr. L. Kreisler and Mr. K. Kreisler loaned $161,391 and $30,648 during 2001 and 2000, respectively.




NOTE 21. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company maintains a retirement plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for substantially all employees. The Company elected to contribute $8,980 during 2001 and $21,098 during 2000.

NOTE 22. JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT

On May 6, 2000 the Company and R.M. Jones entered into a joint venture agreement. The agreement called for the formation of KBF Environmental Services, Inc ("KBFES"), to be owned 80% by the Company and 20% by R.M. Jones. The subsidiary shall provide revenue for the Company utilizing the existing sales force of both R.M. Jones and the Company. The Company issued 1,000,000 options to R.M. Jones at the end of 2001 to purchase its interest in KBFES. The joint venture will continue as a division of the Company until the Company completes its acquisition of the environmental services division of R.M. Jones.
