PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS


General Company Business

International Cryogenic Systems Corporation (ICSC) and its related companies
design, engineer, manufacture, market and support industrial refrigeration and
freezing systems for use world-wide. Innovative and unique industrial
refrigeration products and packages include evaporative heat exchange systems,
ammonia recovery and recycling systems, non-chemical water treating systems,
liquid recirculating packages, and merchant carbon dioxide plants. The most
advanced, cost-effective and environmentally safe "quick freeze" system has
been developed for the food freezing industry.

The current structure of ICSC is organized like a holding company with
independent and self sufficient subsidiaries related to the same industry. As
of year end there are three subsidiaries: RealCold Products, Inc., formally
RealCold Maintenance Systems, packaged refrigeration and freezer systems;
Nauticon Inc., refrigeration and evaporative heat exchange systems; Technicold
Services Inc., provides industry consulting and educational services. Included
is the sale of RealCold Systems, Inc. an ICSC subsidiary, whereas the Company
receives a long term royalty payment from Wittcold Systems. The two combined
companies provide world wide market support for refrigeration systems and
merchant CO2 plants. Details of the subsidiary sale follows.

In December 1996, the Company reached an agreement with Rotary Power
International, Inc. ("RPI") whereby the Company invested the sum of one million
dollars ($1,000,000) in exchange for two million shares (2,000,000) of RPI
common stock. Concurrent with the investment, ICSC and RPI have agreed in
principal to merge the two companies in a stock for stock acquisition, whereby
RPI would become a wholly owned subsidiary of ICSC. Each shareholder of RPI
will receive (.363) shares of ICSC common stock. The stock for stock
transaction will result in ICSC issuing a fixed total number (1,516,196) of
shares of common stock for all the issued and outstanding shares of RPI common
stock at the time of closing and execution of the stock purchase and merger
agreement. Subsequently, on March 21, 1997 the Company and RPI signed a Plan
and Agreement of Merger subject to stockholders approval. This transaction will
be accounted for as a purchase for Financial Accounting purposes.

The Company is forming alliances and distribution centers with agents,
distributors and synergistic companies world wide, building a comprehensive
industrial refrigeration and freezer business. ICSC is continually seeking
related acquisitions and joint venture partners that will compliment its
business and support its growth and goals. The Company has established a
relationship for a leasing program, leasing total turn key systems including
products, services, maintenance and supplies.

Subsidiaries - Three major operating subsidiaries, Technicold Services, Inc.,
RealCold Products, Inc. and Nauticon Ltd., supported by the parent public
entity, ICSC, supports all operating activities for the freezing systems, the
refrigeration systems and the evaporative heat exchange systems respectively.
Technicold provides consulting services to the refrigeration industry, and
RealCold Products, Inc. supports all refrigeration and freezer systems and
operations from their corporate facility in Cibolo, Texas. Nauticon Ltd.
supports all evaporative heat exchange and refrigeration systems and operations
from their corporate facility in Austin, Texas. The respective corporate
facilities support all technical and service product operations including;

Sequential Page 2 of 24

design and engineering; assemble and fabrication; administration; marketing,
sales support and consulting services. Sales and marketing activities are
supported by represented agents, dealers and distributors.

Synergy of operations; people and product activity all related with respective
freezing and refrigeration product knowledge. People are cross trained and
knowledgeable about all products. Sales agents and distributors may market
related industry products to the same customer. Products produced for the
refrigeration business (compressors, condensers, vessels, parts etc.) are also
needed to compliment the freezing system. Packaged freezing and refrigeration
systems are a longer sales cycle, bigger sale price; refrigeration products and
components have a shorter sales cycle, smaller sale price providing constant
cash flow.

Management - The Company's business operations are supported by an executive
management team with over (130) years experience, which includes the directors
of the Company, having extensive experience and background adequately related
to the business. CEO - over (30) years experience in marketing, management and
finance; Financial Executive - over (25) years experience in accounting and
finance, a CPA with a concentration on SEC audit and public accounting;
General Counsel - over (30) years legal experience including counsel to two
Fortune 100 companies; Technical Executive - over (45) years experience in
engineering and design, and a well-known expert consultant in the refrigeration
industry.

ICSC's management philosophy and structure supports decentralized authority and
operations, profit and loss accountability, incentive driven performance and
compensation, and total customer satisfaction. The Company's management
objective is to become a major force with niche products in the multi-billion
dollar freezer and refrigeration industry. The Company's goal is to achieve
profitable growth and increase shareholder value by increasing its line of
superior products and services, through acquisitions and joint ventures of
related products and companies.


Products:

Freezer Systems - ICSC's basic system (patented in May l990) quick-freezes
food products by immersing them in a bath of refrigerant, with special
advantages for fragile foods such as fruits and seafood. Quick freezing forms
a protective, ice-glazed shell around foods with little cellular damage. This
method retains freshness and flavor, and prevents clumping for processing and
packaging. Quick freezing also reduces shrinkage, promotes faster thawing,
extends product quality and shelf life up to four times longer than other
processes. This unique process provides the least cost to freeze per product
pound versus competition.

The Company has designed a unique refrigeration recovery system, the only
close-looped system in the industry. This system recovers CO2 refrigerants. It
contains and recycles these gasses, providing less costly use of refrigerants.
It has environmental advantages over competitive systems. ICSC's cost-effective
systems use less energy, less refrigerant, save space, and require no periodic
defrosting.

The Company's newly designed Star Wheel freezing system was completed in March
l994; its second generation compact Rotary Drum freezing system was introduced
in 1995. The Star Wheel freezing system employs inlet and outlet star wheels,
which seal the refrigerant and food product in a freezer chamber. The total
system process is automated. The star wheels are synchronized with a conveyor
belt immersed in the refrigerant. ICSC's newly designed Rotary Drum System
(patent pending) receives food product into rotating drum pockets. Refrigerant

Sequential Page 3 of 24

enters each individual pocket from the top of the rotating drum. While
rotating, the sealed food product and refrigerant in the drum pockets are
computer controlled, cycled and timed for freezing specifications desired.



RealCold Systems and related divisions, manufacture packaged refrigeration
systems for ICSC's cryogenic freezing systems and other industrial users.
Custom innovative industrial refrigeration products include the following:
ammonia recovery and recycling system, non-chemical water treating systems,
liquid recirculating packages, and refrigeration system vessels. RealCold
Systems will also offer unique automated ice systems which produce low cost
block and sized ice.

The ISCS Quick Freeze System, employing a recoverable liquid refrigerant,
provides a cost effective method for freezing specialty products that are
difficult to freeze employing conventional systems. The ICSC Quick Freeze
System has advantages over all existing systems. The ICSC Quick Freeze System
is designed to freeze "specialty" foods, which are typically difficult to
freeze, includes the following: peeled and deveined shrimp (prawns), fish
fillets, sauces (gravies) or other fragile food products. This system may also
be employed in "peeling" systems, sterilization of surgical instruments, blood
freezing and possibly others. ICSC will employ three major Quick Freeze System
products meeting most freezing requirements world-wide.

Star Wheel System - The product to be frozen is conveyed to the freezer inlet
synchronized star wheel, which seals the freezant in the freezing chamber. The
product is transferred to the perforated conveyor belt which is immersed in the
freezant. The heavily insulated freezer chamber is maintained at a slight
positive pressure to prevent air infiltration. Excess subcooled freezant is
then sprayed over the product as it is carried through a portion of the freezer
chamber on the conveyor belt.

To assure that the frozen product does not retain any freezant, the conveyor
moves the product through an equilibration zone in the freezer chamber. The
time in this zone is approximately three times that required to freeze the
product. The frozen product is then discharged from the conveyor belt through
the outlet synchronized start wheel, which also seals the freezant in the
freezing chamber, to an outlet conveyor into a container. The perforated
conveyor belt is synchronized with the inlet and outlet star wheels. The liquid
refrigerant and vapor gas is recaptured and recycled.

Belt Feed Freezer System - This product is similar to the Star Wheel System. In
lieu of the star wheel mechanized operation, a wide flat horizontal belt feed
system is incorporated and synchronized with the inlet and outlet feeder
systems.

Rotary Drum System - A small compact, low cost (42" in diameter) rotating drum,
constructed of high density (HMW polymer) plastic and stainless steel, which is
insulated and sealed maintaining a slight positive pressure to prevent air
infiltration. Food product, assembled on a conveyor system, enters sealed
rotating drum "pockets". Liquid refrigerant enters the top sealed rotating drum
"pockets" and merges with the food product. While rotating, the liquid
refrigerant is drained off and the food product remains in the "pockets" for
"drying" (evaporation of refrigerant). Rotation cycle is timed and synchronized
to produce the level of product freezing desired. Food product is discharged
from the rotating drum onto a conveyor system and container. The liquid
freezant and vapor gas is recaptured and recycled.

CO2 Freezer System - Designed to operate very similar to the Star Wheel and
Rotary Drum Systems, utilizes CO2 in place of a liquid freezant. Also can be

Sequential Page 4 of 24

designed as a very economical recovery freezing system for existing CO2
installations.

ICSC Quick Freeze Process - The ICSC Quick Freeze process is based upon the
principles of the low boiling point of low temperature halocarbon refrigerants,
and the subsequent surface heat removal of processed product in an environment
of less than -20. F. This is, in this case, accomplished with liquid
halocarbon refrigerants, which provides for virtually instant surface freezing.

The mechanics of the system, in general, insures an adequate pathway and
retention time which is adjusted to accommodate the mass weight and surface
heat or total heat of respiration of the product intended to be quick frozen,
and to what degree the freezing process is to be accomplished. This patented
process enclosed in a semi-hermetic chamber in which the refrigerant agent's
temperature is carefully controlled and monitored, and in which the product is
retained as long as is required to obtain the exact freeze criteria.

Upon introducing the product into the ICSC process chamber or "pockets", it is
immediately immersed in a liquid bath of refrigerant agent and crust-frozen.
This causes the crystal structure of the liquid in the crust to form a matrix
which interlocks to the firmness similar to that of an egg shell which protects
the delicate inner section which contains the meat, flavoring juices and
aromas.

The shape of a delicate form is thus preserved during the quick freezing
process, thus preventing damage during deep frozen storage. This also produces
a surface or "ice-glazed" which also prevents sticking or ice-packing or the
formation of solid clumps of frozen products. The fast freeze preserves the
delicate taste and ascetic value of the product, which is important to the
ultimate consumer and which preserves the price levels of quality products.

Competition - Food Freezing:

Mechanical Systems - There are two types of in-line continuous freezing
systems. Each employs a mechanical refrigeration system, usually two staged or
economized. Most of the refrigeration systems employ ammonia as the
refrigerant. IQF fluidized freezers are employed to freeze loose (unpackaged)
vegetables and fruit on a continuous basis. The other mechanical freezing
system employs a spiral conveyor to transport product through the enclosure.
This type freezer is used to freeze both "open" and boxed products.

Liquid Nitrogen Freezers - Cryogenic freezing has been a factor in the food
freezing industry for many years. Its main selling point has been rapid
freezing that provides excellent quality. Its main disadvantage is cost to
freeze. Two types of nitrogen freezers are available. One is a spiral, the
other is an air in-line belt (conveyor) freezer.

Carbon Dioxide Freezers - Another cryogen, carbon dioxide (CO2), is also used
for freezing many kinds of food products. The freezer configurations are
similar to liquid nitrogen freezers. CO2 freezers in general have an advantage
over liquid nitrogen that is difficult to overcome and that is cost to freeze.

Industrial Refrigeration Packages - RealCold Products, Inc. and related
companies, manufacture custom packaged refrigeration systems for ICSC's
cryogenic freezing systems and other industrial users. Custom innovative
industrial refrigeration products include the following: ammonia recovery and
recycling system, non-chemical water treating system, liquid recirculating
packages, and refrigeration system vessels. RealCold Systems also offers unique
automated ice systems which produce low cost block and sized ice.


Sequential Page 5 of 24

Packaged systems and custom products produced by RealCold are an integral part
of the Company's freezing system, which enhances the freezer system profit
margins. Their expertise and support has refined progress on the Company's new
drum freezer system, ReelFrez, which is now designed for use with either CO2 or
liquid refrigerants for domestic and international markets.

RealCold Systems Inc. and The Wittemann Company had a Joint Cooperative
Agreement for the manufacture and marketing of merchant carbon dioxide plants
and refrigeration products prior to the sale of RealCold Systems to Wittemann.
Wittemann is the world's leading manufacturer of carbon dioxide systems and
refrigeration accessories employed by brewers and other fermentation
processors. Wittemann has carbon dioxide systems operating in almost every
country in the world. The cooperative agreement combines the technical
expertise and experience of RealCold with the worldwide marketing of Wittemann.
George Briley, President of RealCold with 46 years experience, is a renown
expert in the innovative design and building of merchant carbon dioxide
systems. The RealCold technical and engineering staff provides the engineering
design and manufacturing for innovative refrigeration products and the merchant
carbon dioxide plants. This industry combination of technology, sales and
manufacturing experience is unsurpassed and should provide an effective and
cost efficient entry for this worldwide market. This venture has proven very
successful for all related companies and their respective products.

Complimenting the various product lines, the Company intends to market other
various related industry products including automated ice systems which produce
low cost block and sized ice.

Competition - varies from small industrial refrigeration manufactures to the
very large companies in the industry, all competing for this multi billion
dollar industry. The Company envisions an enormous market demand for
refrigeration systems in third world countries. America is well entrenched with
refrigeration systems, but there is a great niche market for the Company's
unique and innovative refrigeration and freezer products. ICSC and its related
entities have the refrigeration engineering expertise and new innovative
products that are needed and in demand today for an industry that hasn't seen
many changes in the last 30 - 40 years.

Evaporative Heat Exchange Systems - Nauticon Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of
ICSC manufactures and markets a product line of evaporative heat exchange
systems for the HVAC and refrigeration industry. The new patented products are
innovative and unique in design, use new material technology, are simple to
manufacture, and have low operating costs. They are used for condensers, fluid
coolers, booster coolers, and cooling towers.

Condensers for both Refrigeration and HVAC - Capacities range from 60,000 to
525,000 BTU for refrigeration condensing. Refrigerants may be at different
incoming temperatures as would be normal for multi-circuit applications.
Copper coils are compatible with all refrigerants except ammonia.

Fluid Coolers - Water. oil, glycol - anything compatible with the copper
coils can be cooled according to each thermal characteristics. The separate
coils can handle different liquids at the same time, according to needs.

Booster Coolers - Applies to new or existing applications. Especially
advantageous in systems now short of capacity, as it can be inserted in the
existing cooling loop to circumvent the need for an entirely new system.
Gives low cost additional cooling to refrigerants or liquids plus the multi-
circuit ability.

Cooler Tower - Several important differences set this cooling tower apart
from others. Hot water is dispersed through Nauticon's unique "cyclone" water

Sequential Page 6 of 24

heads - there are no sprinkler moving arms to break, stall or clog. No
bottom openings to attract debris, thus polluting the system.

Unique low cost manufacturing procedures are essentially for the same product,
which is offered in four varieties. This is attributed to communality of parts
and manufacturing. Manufacturing processes and techniques are both simple and
well worked out utilizing low cost labor.




Initially Nauticon's market was primarily mid-range systems (20- 50 ton units)
for mid size industrial and commercial applications. There has been a major
interest from refrigeration manufactures at the trade shows that the larger (80
- - 120 ton units) are more desired for their larger applications. The Company
also envisions an enormous opportunity for the small market - a low end HVAC
system for the home and commercial uses. A related, but completely separate
opportunity exists in the small unit market for a self contained evaporative
condenser (2.5 to 10 ton units).

Its primary advantage is energy savings, yielding extremely high EER ratings to
not only better, but to offset the regulated change to low efficiency
refrigerants. To be sold as a replacement or new applications and to also be
offered packaged with compressors.

Competition - Nauticon products could revolutionize the refrigeration industry;
an industry that faces serious changes for the first time in years due to
energy and environmental concerns world wide. The Nauticon application should
reduce these traditional concerns and enhance the industry's growth. The
Company believes that it has a truly unique product concept that serves a very
wide arena of commercial applications for the national market as well as the
international market. Initial marketing of the Nauticon systems will be
primarily the mid-range systems because there is much less competition, a great
advantage to Nauticon and its unique patented product. The larger and smaller
size systems are marketed by some of the major competitors in the industry;
larger systems by Evapco and BAC, smaller systems by York and Carrier. These
competitors are well established and have substantially greater financial and
other resources than Nauticon.

Company History

The Company was originally established in 1988 as a private company, Immersion
Cryogenic Systems Corporation, to fabricate and market its original freezer
systems.

In January l993 the Company's assets were merged into a public entity formerly
known as Marco Ventures, and is currently trading on the Nasdaq Electronic
Bulletin Board with the symbol ICRY. The public Nevada corporation, Marco
Ventures, was originally organized on October 7, 1987 for the purpose of
engaging in the acquisition of any and all types of assets, properties and
businesses. Two of the Company's executives/directors, President and Treasurer,
have been affiliated with the public company since 1988 and were also
affiliated with the private company as directors prior to the merger.

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 30, 1992, the shareholders of the
Company approved the recapitalization of the Company Common Stock consisting of
a 100 to 1 reverse split.
On December 28, 1992, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to change the
name of the Company to INTERNATIONAL CRYOGENIC SYSTEMS CORP. (ICSC)


Sequential Page 7 of 24

Asset Acquisition - On December 28, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company
agreed to issue 2,414,083 shares of common stock to six individuals for the
exclusive rights to U. S. Patent No. 4,928,492 (May 29, 1990); which provides a
method and apparatus for production treatment of a product through the usage of
a cryogenic liquid and in a manner such that minimum loss of the cryogenic
liquid is encountered. The products that will be processed by this method
includes, but not limited to, food products, computer chips, tires for
recycling, blood and plasma products, and medical utensils that require a high
degree of sterilization.

The total value of the transaction was $724,224.90. Two of the six individuals,
(Terrence J. Dunne and Francis L. Simola) receiving stock in this transaction
are Directors of the Company. Terrence J. Dunne received 850,000 and Francis
L. Simola received 340,041 shares of stock respectively. This represents 49.3%
of all the common stock issued for the transaction.

The structure and organization of ICSC as a public entity through 1993 and 1994
was considered as a development stage company. The design, manufacture and
testing of two major freeze machine products, and the restructure from a
private company to a public company expended company time and capital. The
newly designed and manufactured Star Wheel freezer machine was completed and
operating consistently as of March 1994. This was a major undertaking and
technology breakthrough proving that the new immersion freezer design concept
worked. In June 1994 a marketing program was initiated for the freezer machine,
and the progress in business activity projected the company into a true
operating entity. The Company started generating revenue after establishing
RealCold Systems, Inc. and its first acquisition in January 1995.

During 1994 the company was active in testing various food products and
demonstrating the freezing process to prospective customers. During this time
the Company acquired additional knowledge and experience; in the use of food
freezant, visiting with major chemical manufactures of refrigerants; in the use
of frozen food processing equipment, visiting major food processing customers
and food processing conventions.

The Company implemented a growth plan in 1994 which it has followed todate,
that has successfully structured and supported the bases for the current ICSC
organization.

(1) Hire knowledgeable people into the business.
(2) Joint Venture or Acquire other related refrigeration and freezing
equipment companies, and other related products.
(3) Partner and secure alliances with related businesses, and partner
with a major chemical manufacturer to supply food grade refrigerant.
(4) Fund the growth plan with sufficient capital.

During 1995, ICSC acquired four companies in the refrigeration business in a
stock exchange transaction. These entities, which compliment and secure ICSC's
position in the industry, operated as wholly owned subsidiaries. RealCold
Systems, Inc., prior to its sale to Wittcold Systems, a Wittmann Company,
offered custom industrial refrigeration packages and merchant carbon dioxide
plants in a joint venture with The Wittemann Company. Nauticon, Ltd. offers a
product line of evaporative heat exchange systems for the HVAC and
refrigeration industry. Technicold Services, Inc. offers consulting
engineering services, including process safety management compliance and
ammonia refrigeration and carbon dioxide system design. Technicold also
provides operation, maintenance and safety seminars for ammonia refrigeration
technicians and supervisors. Jordan Vessel Corporation, merged into RealCold
Systems, offered industrial refrigeration system components such as liquid
recirculating packages and refrigeration system vessels of all types. RealCold
Maintenance Systems, Inc. designs and produces unique products for the

Sequential Page 8 of 24

refrigeration industry. RealCold Systems also publishes a quarterly newsletter,
COLD TALK, which reaches over (1800) refrigeration technicians in the industry.

The new companies have been a proven success, because they not only increased
the Company's sales and assets but also support ICSC's freezer systems with
their in-house engineering and manufacturing experience. Packaged systems and
custom products produced by RealCold are an integral part and compliment the
Company's freezer systems. RealCold's expertise and support has refined
progress on the Company's new drum freezer system, ReelFrez, which is designed
to use either CO2 or liquid refrigerants for domestic and international
markets. The new drum system is currently in the process of freeze testing
various food products and is being marketed using either refrigerant.

RealCold Systems Inc. signed a Joint Cooperative Agreement in July 1995 with
The Wittemann Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dover Resources and Dover
Corp. (NYSE - DOV), for the manufacture and marketing of merchant carbon
dioxide plants and refrigeration products. The cooperation agreement combines
the technical expertise and experience of RealCold with the marketing of
Wittemann. Wittemann is the world's leading manufacturer of carbon dioxide
systems and refrigeration accessories employed by brewers and other
fermentation processors. Wittemann has carbon dioxide systems operating in
almost every country in the world. George Briley, President of RealCold Systems
with over 45 years experience, is a renown expert in the innovative design and
building of merchant carbon dioxide systems. This industry combination of
technology, sales and manufacturing experience is unsurpassed and provides an
effective and cost efficient entry for this worldwide market. Subsequently,
Wittcold Systems, Inc., a division of Wittmann Company, acquired RealCold
Systems in July 1996.

In August 1995, ICSC acquired Nauticon Ltd., a company that manufactures and
markets a product line of innovative evaporative heat exchange systems for the
HVAC and refrigeration industry, representing over five years of development.
The new patented products are innovative and unique in design and simple to
manufacture. They use new material technology with high efficiency copper
tubing to give very high efficiency, low operating costs and minimal
maintenance. The evaporative heat exchangers are self cleaning in most
applications thus eliminating chemical cleaning. The outstanding Nauticon
product features cannot be found in competitive products. Nauticon evaporative
heat exchangers serve the residential, commercial HVAC sector and the
commercial refrigeration industry. They have many applications, varying from
traditional commercial refrigeration to HVAC to industrial cooling. Customers
vary from supermarkets to ice rinks to walk-in coolers for refrigeration
systems. HVAC applications are in smaller commercial buildings, for traditional
air conditioning systems to highly efficient heat pumps. Industrial uses span
plastic molding and extrusion to conventional cooling of process water to
cooling of cutting oils. They are used for condensers, fluid coolers, booster
coolers, and cooling towers. The Company believes that the Nauticon products
may revolutionize the refrigeration industry; an industry that faces serious
changes for the first time in years due to energy and environmental concerns
world wide. The Nauticon application should reduce these traditional concerns
and enhance the industry's growth.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company maintains its corporate office in Cibolo, Texas, and an executive
office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Cibolo facility is 32,000 sq. ft. and

fermentation processors. Wittemann has carbon dioxide systems operating in
almost every country in the world. The acquisition culminated after a
successful (50/50) cooperative joint venture between the two companies for the
manufacture and marketing of Merchant Carbon Dioxide Plants and Refrigeration
System Packages.

The effective closing date of all financial accounting transactions, between
the two companies, was as of June 30, 1996, the end of the Registrant's second
quarter reporting period. Closing date of the Acquisition Agreement was on July
23, 1996. Terms and conditions of the acquisition agreement between WittCold
Systems, Inc. and the Registrant, are as follows:

Sequential Page 11 of 24

The purchase price for the common shares was the aggregate sum of Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000) plus five percent (5 %) of the Net Sales of Refrigeration
Systems for the ten (10) full calendar years 1996 through 2005 and two and one
half (2 1/2%) of Net Sales of Merchant C02 Systems for the nine (9) full
calendar years 1997 through 2005 (the "Percentage Amount").

If the aggregate Percentage Amount paid to Registrant, as set forth above,
through the year 2005 is not at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), the
Purchaser agrees to pay to Registrant no later than April 30, 2006, the
difference between the aggregate Percentage Amount paid to Registrant and Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
George Briley, a Director and major shareholder of the Registrant, is not
employed by and actively engaged in the Company's business for a period of
three full years after the date of Closing, then the foregoing obligation to
pay a minimum Percentage Amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) is null and
void and Registrant shall be entitled only to the Percentage Amount based on
Actual Net Sales as set forth above.

"Net Sales", as used herein, means payments received from customers less
commissions to non-employee agents, export preparation, inland freight and
forwarding fees, ocean freight, insurance, discounts and all warranty work
performed during the relevant period. The Percentage Amount will be determined
each calendar quarter and any amount due Registrant shall be paid to the
Registrant within thirty days after the end of each calendar quarter starting
January 1, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1996

The following tables sets forth the company's results of operation as a
percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

Year Ended December 31,
1996 1995 1994
------------------------------
Revenue 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of revenue 62.8 91.3 0.0
Gross margin 37.2 8.7 0.0

Other income (expense) 200.2 (48.5) 0.0
Net income (loss) 152.2 (48.5) 0.0

Fiscal 1996 - The Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 compared to fiscal year ended December 31,
1995: Total revenue for 1996 was $1,451,521 compared to $2,243,752 for 1995;
operating loss of ($573,012) for 1996 compared to ($1.060,002) for 1995; and
net income of $2,208,749 or $0.39 per share for 1996 compared to a net loss of
($1,088,949) or ($0.23) per share for 1995. Net income (loss) per share was
based on weighted average number of shares of 5,662,000 for 1996 compared to
4,776,000 for 1995.

The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995 respectively: Total current assets were $1,502,208 for 1996 and
$293,075 for 1995; total assets were $5,145,845 for 1996 and $2,298,761 for
1995; total liabilities for 1996 were $1,076,319 and $759,021 for 1995;
total stockholders' equity was $4,069,526 for 1996 and $1,539,740 for 1995;
and there is no long term debt in the Company.

The Company's substantial gain in 1996 over 1995 in net income, total assets
and shareholders equity was due to the sale of RealCold Systems, Inc.

RealCold Systems Inc. and The Wittemann Company previously signed a Joint
Cooperative Agreement in June 1995 for the manufacture and marketing of
merchant carbon dioxide plants and refrigeration products. The acquisition of
RealCold Systems, Inc. by Wittcold Systems, Inc., a Wittemann Company,
culminated after a successful (50/50) cooperative joint venture between the two
companies for the manufacture and marketing of Merchant Carbon Dioxide Plants
and Refrigeration System Packages. The effective closing date of all financial
accounting transactions, between the two companies, was as of June 30, 1996,
the end of the Company's second quarter reporting period. Effective July 1,
1996 all shipped and billed revenue and all other recorder accounting for

Sequential Page 13 of 24

RealCold Systems, Inc. was recorded by Wittcold Systems, Inc. Sales revenue
booked and shipped by Wittcold Systems, Inc. for 1996, the first year of the
joint operation, was $6,560,013 and order backlog was over $1,000,000, which is
scheduled for delivery throughout the first and second quarter 1996. Effective
January 1, 1997, the Company will receive from Wittcold Systems, Inc., under
the sale agreement, a "percentage amount" payment on product sales for the next
ten years, as previously stated.

The Company issued a total of 467,035 shares of common stock in 1996: 173,035
restricted shares at $1.00 per share were issued in satisfaction of recorded
liabilities, for expenses and services rendered in 1995 and prior years;
169,000 restricted shares at $0.50 per share for expenses and services rendered
in 1996; 125,000 restricted shares at $0.50 per share for financial
services/working capital for the Company (replaced a Company Director shares).

Management believes that its working capital is sufficient to support its
operations and growth plans for the near future, and the revenue "percentage
amount" payments that will be generated from WittCold Systems sales revenue
should provide a positive cash flow. To support the Company's growth and goals,
ICSC is continually seeking other related acquisitions and joint venture
partners. The Company has established a relationship with a finance company for
a leasing program; leasing total turn key systems including products, services,
maintenance and supplies as one monthly fixed cost to the customer.

During 1996, the Company made two significant events happen, that should
provide financial support for the Company's near term projected growth plans.
The sale of RealCold Systems and the acquired stock interest and proposed
merger of Rotary Power International continues to support and fulfill the
Company's growth goals of its internal Business Plan.



The cooperative partnership with Wittcold Systems/Wittemann Company over the
past year has generated proven revenue including ten shipments of CO2 plants
for installation in mainland China. Over forty proposals have been submitted
for carbon dioxide plants and refrigeration systems world wide.

The Company's purchase of 2,000,000 shares of Rotary Power for $1,000,000 and
simultaneously agreeing to merge the companies should provide both companies
reciprocal outlets for their respective products. The Company's packaged
refrigeration systems compliment the Rotary Power engines, which together
provide energy savings and a cleaner environment. Rotary Power International
has primarily marketed their engines to the military. With the near shut down
of the defense business, the opportunity for targeting the industrial and
commercial market rises.

In March 1997 RealCold Maintenance Systems changed its name to RealCold
Products. RealCold Products will be responsible for the manufacturing and sale
of commercial refrigeration systems which will include Nauticon condensers and
the Rotary Power engines. Management believes the Company should improve income
and profits as this entity improves its operations and sales increase during
the next year.

Nauticon, as a relatively new ICSC operating subsidiary continues to see
favorable results from its operations. Some twenty-five systems have been
shipped and installed todate. Nauticon, after initiating their sales and
marketing program, has been successful promoting their evaporative condenser
system at various trade shows. They have hosted a number of interested
visitors, (both from the United States and foreign countries), who represent
very significant markets for their products. Primary sales targets are the
large refrigeration manufactures that could produce and distribute product

Sequential Page 14 of 24

under their own private label. Besides marketing direct through agents in the
US, other market outlets will be through major distributors world wide. Besides
the US, Nauticon has shipped systems to Israel and Mexico, and to a prospective
distributor in Costra Rica, where the company anticipates additional orders for
Central and South America. In March 1997, Nauticon hired a Sales Manager to
oversee all sales and marketing activity.

Company executives representing Nauticon and executives from two major
manufacturers of refrigeration equipment have exchanged facility visits, the
result being that one major Company has successfully tested a Nauticon system
at their testing facility. A joint manufacturing and market program is being
proposed by both parties for implementation this year. Other major
refrigeration companies have expressed great interest in pursuing a joint
cooperative manufacturing and marketing venture with Nauticon. Management also
believes that there are many opportunities for licensing the Nauticon
technology to major manufactures in the US and foreign countries.

The Company is currently live on the INTERNET, a world wide information
network. The real time system will provide anyone, investor or customer,
Company news releases, financial data and product information. A new on-line
proposal writing system and sales tool, which will produce text, drawings,
color pictures and video, is currently being developed for the Company on the
INTERNET, that should enhance sales world wide for all Company products. A
remote sales rep will be able to prepare a sales proposal with the customer in
a real time environment producing text, drawings, color pictures and video.

PREVIOUS FINANCIAL ACTIVITY - 1995

The following tables sets forth the company's results of operation as a
percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

Year Ended December 31,
1995 1994 1993
-----------------------------
Revenue 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of revenue 91.3 0.0 0.0

RealCold Acquisitions - On January 30, l995, the Board of Directors approved
(retroactive to January l, l995) the acquisitions of Technicold Services, Inc.,
RealCold Maintenance Systems, Inc. and Jordan Vessel Corporation. The company
acquired l00% of the stock of these three companies in exchange for 487,500
shares of its common stock.

The three companies, with over $1.7M in orders booked in 1994, will support and
operate under RealCold Systems, Inc., a new wholly owned subsidiary of ICSC.
RealCold Systems, Inc. will manufacture and support all related products,
including packaged refrigeration systems for ICSC's cryogenic freezing systems
and custom commercial sales, ammonia recovery and recycling systems, and non-
chemical water treating systems. RealCold Systems will also offer automated
block ice systems.

Technicold Services, Inc. offers consulting engineering services including
process safety management compliance and ammonia refrigeration system design.

Sequential Page 15 of 24

Technicold Services also provides operation, maintenance and safety seminars
for ammonia refrigeration technicians and supervisors. Jordan Vessel
Corporation offers industrial refrigeration system components such as liquid
recirculating packages and refrigeration system vessels of all types. RealCold
Maintenance Systems, Inc. offers unique innovative refrigeration products such
as an Ammonia Recovery and Recycle System and an Evaporative Condenser Water
Conditioning System.

Nauticon Acquisition - On August 4, 1995, the Board of Directors approved the
acquisition of 100% of Nauticon, Ltd. in a stock exchange for 900,000 shares of
common stock and 300,000 options of ICSC common stock. Nauticon will operate as
a wholly owned subsidiary in concert with ICSC's other subsidiaries, each
concentrating in unique, proprietary products for the food freezing,
refrigeration and cooling fields.

Nauticon, is an Austin, Texas based manufacturer of innovative evaporative heat
exchangers. Nauticon line of products represent five years of development. An
unique patented concept couples modern plastics with high efficiency copper
tubing to give very high efficiency, low operating costs and minimal
maintenance. These evaporative heat exchangers are self cleaning in most
applications thus eliminating chemical cleaning. These outstanding features
cannot be found in competitive products. Nauticon evaporative heat exchangers
serve the residential, commercial HVAC sector and the commercial refrigeration
industry. They have many applications, varying from traditional commercial
refrigeration to HVAC to industrial cooling. Customers vary from supermarkets
to ice rinks to walk-in coolers for refrigeration systems. HVAC applications
are in smaller commercial buildings, for traditional air conditioning systems
to highly efficient heat pumps. Industrial uses span plastic molding and
extrusion to conventional cooling of process water to cooling of cutting oils.

RealCold & Wittemann - RealCold Systems Inc. and The Wittemann Company signed a
Joint Cooperative Agreement for the manufacture and marketing of merchant
carbon dioxide plants and refrigeration products. Wittemann is the world's
leading manufacturer of carbon dioxide systems and refrigeration accessories
employed by brewers and other fermentation processors. Wittemann has carbon
dioxide systems operating in almost every country in the world. The cooperative
agreement combines the technical expertise and experience of RealCold with the
worldwide marketing of Wittemann. George Briley, President of RealCold Systems
with 46 years experience, is a renown expert in the innovative design and
building of merchant carbon dioxide systems. The RealCold technical and
engineering staff will provide the engineering design and manufacturing for
innovative refrigeration products and the merchant carbon dioxide plants. This
industry combination of technology, sales and manufacturing experience is
unsurpassed and should provide an effective and cost efficient entry for this
worldwide market. This venture has proved to be very successful for all related
companies and their respective products. Since the cooperative agreement was
initiated there are ten orders booked for CO2 plants and refrigeration systems
through the first quarter of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1995

Fiscal 1995 - For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Company incurred
a loss of ($1,088,949) or ($0.23) per share on sales revenue of $2,243,752.
This compares with a net loss of ($245,280) or ($0.07) per share on sales
revenue of $0 as a development stage company in 1994. Company total assets are
$2,298,761, stockholders equity is $1,539,740, and there was no long term debt.
For additional detailed financial information on the Company, reference the
Financial Statements on pages F-1 through F-14 included in this Annual Report
on Form 10K.


Sequential Page 16 of 24

Sales Backlog - Backlog as of December 31, 1995 was approximately $500K which
is scheduled for delivery throughout the first and second quarter 1996.
Subsequent backlog as of March 31, 1996 was approximately $3.4 million which is
scheduled for delivery throughout 1996.

The Company issued a total of 1,689,000 share of common stock in 1995: 101,500
restricted shares at $1.00 per share for expenses and services rendered;
1,387,500 restricted shares at $1.00 per share for company acquisitions;
200,000 shares at $1.40 per share for a private placement.

Management's comments on the primary reasons for the loss in 1995: Research and
development of the new rotary drum freezer system ReelFrez. The affect on daily
operations and expenses associated with the acquisition of the four companies.
The cost of sales were higher than expected through most of 1995 due to the
related startup costs of the new subsidiaries for the administrative offices,
coordinating sales and marketing activities and setting up new manufacturing
production procedures. The ammonia industrial refrigeration contractor demand
for system components was in an industry cycle "lull" for the latter part of
1995. New vessel product orders under Jordan Vessel Corp. were manufactured
through third party subcontractors which resulted in lower profit margins.

During 1995 the Company made significant advances fulfilling most of its
internal Business Plan. The three new companies, acquired in January 1995 and
related with RealCold Systems, have been a proven success, because they not
only increased the Company's sales and assets but also support ICSC's freezer
systems with their in-house engineering and manufacturing experience. Packaged
systems and custom products produced by RealCold are also an integral part of
the Company's freezing system, which enhances the freezer system profit
margins. Proposals for ammonia refrigeration packages have greatly increased
and sales activity in the industry has shown signs of improving during the
fourth quarter 1995 and into 1996. Since the cooperative partnership with The
Wittemann Company, over forty proposals have been submitted for carbon dioxide
plants and refrigeration systems generating twelve orders through the first
quarter 1996.

As the RealCold manufacturing facility improves its operations and additional
product is manufactured in house, profit margins should improve. Administration
office procedures have been implemented for new work flow accounting functions.
These new functions should greatly improve order processing, receivables and
payables, and customer relations resulting in reduced administration costs.
Management believes the Company will continue to improve profit margins and
income as these operating functions improve and as sales increase during the
next year.

Nauticon, as a new ICSC operating subsidiary, recorded financials for the
fourth quarter 1995. Nauticon is beginning to see favorable results from
having shown their evaporative condenser system at the Food Marketing
Exhibition and the ARI - ASHRAE Exhibition in Chicago. They have hosted a
number of interested visitors, (both from the United States and foreign
countries), who represent very significant markets for their products.

Nauticon has initiated their sales and marketing program during the fourth
quarter 1995. Primary sales targets will be the large refrigeration
manufactures that could produce and distribute product under their own private
label. Besides marketing direct through agents in the U S, other market outlets
will be through distributors world wide. Company executives representing
Nauticon and executives from a major manufacturer of refrigeration equipment
have recently exchanged facility visits. The major manufacturer expressed a
very strong interest in pursuing a joint manufacturing and marketing program
with Nauticon. Management also believes that there are many opportunities for

Sequential Page 17 of 24

licensing the Nauticon technology to major manufactures in the U S and foreign
countries.

Single unit sales of Nauticon products were shipped in the fourth quarter. A
Nauticon Evaporative Condenser was purchased by an Israel customer that
exhibited the system at the heating-air conditioning-refrigeration show in Tel
Aviv before installing it in its permanent location. The customer desires to
represent Nauticon products in Israel. Recently Nauticon shipped its first
system to a prospective distributor in Costra Rica, where the company
anticipates additional orders for Central and South America.

Report of Independent Accountants




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
International Cryogenic Systems Corporation


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International
Cryogenic Systems Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. The financial statements of the Company for
1994 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated April 4, 1995,
included an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty of the recovery of
the Company's primary asset, comprising patent rights and related technology
aggregating $726,572.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Intangible assets, which comprise a material portion of the Company's assets,
include patent rights and related technology of $1,155,986 and goodwill of
$491,892, as of December 31, 1996. The recovery of these intangible assets is
dependent upon achieving profitable operations. The ultimate outcome of this
uncertainty cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, the financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

INTERNATIONAL CRYOGENIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1. Background and Basis of Presentation:

Background
International Cryogenic Systems Corporation (the "Company" or "ICSC") was
incorporated on October 7, 1987 in the State of Nevada, and operates in one
business segment, the development, design, manufacture, distribution and
servicing of cryogenic refrigeration systems.

On December 28, 1992, the Company acquired the patent rights (U.S. Patent
No. 4,928,492) and related engineering and technology to a process of quick
freezing food products, and cleaning and treating various non-food products
by using a circulating cryogenic liquid in a closed pressurized vessel
system, in exchange for 2,414,083 shares of common stock. The common stock
was valued at $.30 per share, which was determined by management to be the
fair market value. Two directors of the Company were also directors of the
company selling such patent rights.
For the years ending December 31, 1994 and prior, International Cryogenic
Systems Corporation was considered a development stage enterprise, devoting
substantially all of its efforts to establishing its business, with no
significant revenue from its planned principal operations.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, and that
recovery of its intangible assets, primarily patent rights and related
technology and goodwill, will occur. The Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, and recover the value of its intangible assets is dependent
upon achieving profitable operations. The ultimate outcome of this
uncertainty cannot be presently determined. Accordingly, the financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany
accounts and transactions. Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company in
1996, after dispositions (Note 4), include Technicold Services, Inc.,
RealCold Products, Inc. and Nauticon, Ltd. Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company in 1995 include Technicold Services, Inc., RealCold Products, Inc.,
Jordan Vessel Corporation, RealCold Systems, Inc. and Nauticon, Ltd.
Investments in affiliates, representing 20% to 50% of the ownership of such
companies, are accounted for using the equity method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with original maturities at purchase date of
three months or less are considered cash equivalents.








F-7
INTERNATIONAL CRYOGENIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued




2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

Investment in Securities
Investments in debt and marketable equity securities are designated as
trading, held-to-maturity, or available-for-sale in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Trading securities are
reported at fair value, with changes in fair value included in earnings.
Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with net
unrealized gains and losses included as a component of equity.
Held-to-maturity securities are reported at amortized cost. Gains and
losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific
identification method. For all investment securities, unrealized losses
that are other than temporary are recognized as a charge against earnings in
the period incurred. Market value is determined based on quoted market
prices. At December 31, 1996, all of the Company's investment securities
were classified as available-for-sale.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the
straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
generally three to seven years. Expenditures that increase the value or
extend the life of an asset are capitalized, while cost of maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses upon disposal of assets
are recognized in income.

Research and Development
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
The cost of intellectual property purchased from others that are immediately
marketable or that have an alternative future use are capitalized and
amortized as intangible assets. Capitalized costs are amortized using the
straight line method over the estimated economic life of the related asset,
typically 10 years. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, capitalized patent
development costs, net of amortization, were $1,155,986 and $1,295,718.
Amounts capitalized and expensed during the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 were as follows:


1996 1995
-------- ---------


Capitalized patent costs $ - $ 673,250
Amortization expense 139,732 104,104




The Company periodically reviews its capitalized patent costs to assess
recoverability based on projected undiscounted cash flows from operations.
Impairments are recognized in operating results when a permanent diminution
in value occurs.
Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the
customer. Service revenue is recognized when services are performed and
billable.

F-8
INTERNATIONAL CRYOGENIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued




2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related direct
costs over the fair value of net assets acquired as of the date of the
acquisition. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.
Amortization of goodwill amounted to $56,971 and $40,687 for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

The Company periodically reviews its goodwill to assess recoverability based
on projected undiscounted cash flows from operations. Impairments are
recognized in operating results when a permanent diminution in value occurs.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The computation of net income (loss) per common share is based upon the
weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under
this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. (See Note 8).

Reclassifications
Certain amounts within the 1995 and 1994 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in the design,
development and printing of Company literature and marketing materials. The
Company expenses all advertising expenditures as incurred. The Company's
advertising expenses were approximately $16,908 and $2,062 for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on a first-in,
first-out basis.
















F-9
INTERNATIONAL CRYOGENIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued




2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations
of credit risk, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with
Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of
Credit Risk," consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, cash invested
through related party, trade accounts receivable, investments in securities
available for sale and restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents exceeded
FDIC insurance coverage limits by $348,215 at December 31, 1996. The
Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in major, credit-worthy
financial institutions and has not experienced any losses on its deposits.
The Company's receivables do not represent a significant concentration of
credit risk at December 31, 1996.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," include cash and cash equivalents, cash invested through
related party, trade accounts receivable, investment in securities available
for sale, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and
short-term borrowings. All instruments other than the investment in
securities available for sale are accounted for on a historical cost basis,
which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments,
approximates fair value at December 31, 1996 and 1995. Investments in
securities available for sale are recorded at fair value at December 31,
1996.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." This
statement simplifies the computation of earnings per share amounts and
specifies the presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company will be
required to adopt FAS No. 128 for its fiscal year ended January 31, 1998.
Adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have a significant effect on the
financial statements.

Investment in Affiliate
On December 24, 1996, the Company agreed to invest in Rotary Power
International, Inc. ("RPI") the sum of $1,000,000 in exchange for two
million shares of RPI common stock. As the Company's investment in RPI

agreed to merge the two companies in a stock for stock acquisition, whereby
RPI would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICSC. Upon completion of a
definitive transaction agreement and approval by the companies Board of
Directors and stockholders, each shareholder of RPI will receive 0.363
shares of ICSC common stock. The stock for stock transaction will result in
ICSC issuing a fixed total number of 1,516,196 shares of common stock for
all the issued and outstanding shares of RPI common stock at the time of
closing and execution of the stock purchase and merger agreement. The
transaction will be accounted for as a purchase.

party to the Joint Cooperation Agreement entered into by the Company in June
1995. In consideration for the common stock of RealCold Systems, Inc., the
Company received from Wittcold the sum of $2,800,000 in cash, $200,000 in
cash held in escrow, which is to be released to the Company on the second
anniversary of the sale's closing, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement, and the ability to earn additional consideration ("earnout") as

to provide additional consideration in the amount of five (5%) percent of
the net sales of refrigeration systems for ten full calendar years beginning
in 1996 and ending in 2005, and two and one-half (2 1/2%) of net sales of
merchant CO2 systems for nine full calendar years beginning in 1997 and
ending in 2005. For purposes of calculating the earnout, net sales is
defined as payments received from customers less commissions to non-employee
agents, export preparation, inland freight and forwarding fees, ocean
freight, insurance, discounts and all warranty work performed during the
relevant period. The sales agreement further provides a minimum guaranteed
royalty from Wittcold, contingent upon the continued employment by the
Company of a certain employee for three full years after the date of
closing, whereupon the Company will receive $2,000,000 ("minimum earnout")
no later than April 30, 2006 in the event the earnout consideration, as
calculated on a percentage of net sales, does not exceed the minimum
earnout. The Company anticipates recording revenues on the earnout
beginning in 1997.
