                       Notes to Financial Statements
                               March 31, 2003


NOTE 1 - Corporate History
--------------------------
The Company was organized on December 2, 1968, under the laws of the state
of California as Acquatic Systems, Inc.  On June 27, 1989, the Company
merged with Country Maid, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, the Corporate
domicile was changed to the state of Nevada.  On September 18, 1992, the
name of the Company was changed to The Quantum Group, Inc.  On March 26,
2001, the Company filed an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
changing it's name to Advanced Recycling Sciences, Inc.  The Company is
registered and qualified to do business in the state of California.

NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
----------------------------------------
A.   The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.
B.   Revenues and directly related expenses are recognized in the period
     when
     the goods are shipped to the customer.
C.   The Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments that
     are
     readily convertible, within three months, to known amounts as cash
     equivalents.  The Company currently has no cash equivalents.
D.   Primary Earnings Per Share amounts are based on the weighted average
     number of shares outstanding at the dates of the financial statements.
     Fully Diluted Earnings Per Shares shall be shown on stock options and
     other convertible issues that may be exercised within ten years of the
     financial statement dates.
E.   The inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.  The inventory
     is a single recycling system that the Company intends to sell as a
     system.  The Company is currently pursuing several prospects to sell
     the system.
F.   Consolidation Policies:    The accompanying consolidated financial
     statements include the accounts of the company and its majority -
     owned subsidiaries.  Intercompany transactions and balances have been
     eliminated in consolidation.
G.   Foreign Currency Translation / Remeasurement Policy:   Assets and
     liabilities that occur in foreign countries are recorded at historical
     cost and translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the
     year.  Income Statement accounts are translated at the average
     exchange rates for the year. Translation gains and losses shall be
     recorded as a separate line item in the equity section of the
     financial statements.
H.   Depreciation:   The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over
     the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of
     leasehold improvements is depreciated (amortized) over the lesser of
     the length of the related assets or the estimated lives of the assets.
     Depreciation is computed on the straight line method for reporting
     purposes and for tax purposes.
I.   Issuance of Subsidiary's Stock: The Company has elected to account for
     shares issued by its subsidiary as an equity transaction.
J.   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 reported
     amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies -continued-
----------------------------------------

K.   As permitted by SFAS #123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,"

     compensation cost when options were issued at equal to or more than
     fair market value.

NOTE 3 - Interim Financial Statements
-------------------------------------

The financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002
were prepared from the books and records of the Company.  Management
believes that all adjustments have been made to the financial statements to
make a fair presentation of the financial condition of the company as of
March 31, 2003 and 2002.  The results of the three months are not
indicative of a full year of operation for the Company.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2001 audited
financial statements.  The results of operations for the nine month periods
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     This Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements.  For
this purpose any statements contained in this Form 10-QSB that are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements.  Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may," "will,"
"expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or comparable
terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These
statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and
actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors.

General
-------
     Advanced Recycling Sciences, Inc., ("ARS(TM)" or the "Company") is in
the business of developing innovative products and technologies in the
environmental and recycling industries, with specific emphasis on
rubberized asphalt paving, scrap tire and industrial rubber recycling.  The
principal offices of the Company are located at University Tower, 4199
Campus Drive, Suite 550, Irvine California 92612.  The Company was
organized as a corporation in 1968, under the laws of the State of
California.  In 1988 the Company changed its domicile from California to
the State of Nevada and has operated as a Nevada corporation since that
time.  In March 2001, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to
change its name from The Quantum Group, Inc., to Advanced Recycling
Sciences, Inc.

     Since March 2001, the Company has been pursuing a business development
strategy incorporating technology acquisition, innovation and development,
including rubberized asphalt paving, the patented Tires2Oil(TM) process, a
patented de-icing system for road surfaces and international sales of tire
shredding, granulating and aftermarket product manufacturing equipment.

                                     10

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
     As of March 31, 2003, the Company had cash on hand of $52,494.  The
Company raised cash through short term borrowings and the continuation of
the 2002 Regulation S offering. The Company has received $48,137 during the
first quarter of 2003, as continuing receipts from the Regulation S
offering. The Company borrowed $95,000 from a shareholder. The Company does
not anticipate further receipts from the Regulation S offering.

     A depressed stock market in general and a declining market price for
the Advanced Recycling Sciences, Inc. shares in particular led to
disappointing results with the 2002 Regulation S offering. The results
achieved in the beginning of 2003 have caused management to believe that
the 2003 Regulation S offering would generate significantly less than the
2002 offering.  With the depressed price and resultant dilution,
management, with the agreement of the underwriter, has suspended the
offering. Banking conditions in Germany have also added to the Company's
inability to secure the financing required to begin construction of the
Poseidon plant.  The Company's Advanced Surfacing Technology, Inc., ("AST")
subsidiary sponsored crumb rubber modified asphalt tests conducted in
August 2002 in Germany were very successful. Management believes that the
use of crumb rubber in asphalt will generate substantial demand for crumb
rubber and ultimately assist in the ability to finance the Poseidon plant.
This will, however, take time.

     The Company believes there are significant opportunities in the
rubberized asphalt paving industry.  The Company, through AST intends to
focus most of its efforts in the upcoming year to exploiting the growing
rubberized asphalt paving, particularly in Europe.  The Company has entered
into an exclusive European distribution agreement with a manufacturer to
sell specialized mobile equipment for blending rubber and asphalt at hot
mix plants.  The Company will also oversee technology transfer programs to
international clients, on-site project management and seminars to educate
both public and private sector engineers about the Company's products and
services.  The Company also intends to establish and operate its own
rubberized asphalt paving business in Germany and later in other parts of
Europe.  The company has begun private placement discussions with firms
associated with the industry in Germany to raise the funds to support this
effort.

     At this point in time, the company has no ongoing revenue and its
ability to raise sufficient capital to meet its cash flow needs is in
question. If capital is not raised the Company will not be able to remain
in business for the next twelve months.

     The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, applicable
to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the
Company does not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets, nor does it
have an established source of revenues to cover its operating costs and to
allow it to continue in business as a going concern, However, the Company
is taking the following approach to meet its liquidity requirements. The
company has an inventory of tire recycling processing and product
manufacturing equipment in storage following the closure of the San Diego
facility. This equipment was going to be used in the Poseidon project in
Germany. The Company is now in the process of selling portions of that
inventory to generate cash. The Company does not believe that the cash so
generated will be sufficient to meet its overall on going needs. The
Company is endeavoring to dispose of these assets for the highest valuation
it can negotiate. Should the Company be unable to continue in operation,
the forced liquidation values for these assets will be less than might be

                                     11

obtained over time. In some cases, the Company has received advances in
anticipation of the asset sales. These short-term borrowings will be repaid
from the proceeds of the asset sale or the possible sale of a subsidiary.
The Company has received an offer to sell its Tires2Oil, Inc., subsidiary.
The Company believes that the offered price is sufficient to allow the
Company to clear its existing obligations and remain in operation while it
develops the AST European business to a point of self-sufficiency.
Although the Company is negotiating this transaction in good faith, no
assurance can be given that the transaction will be successfully concluded
and the anticipated cash will be received.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2003 and the three months
ended March 31, 2002.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The Company generated a loss of $365,024 in the quarter ended March
31, 2003, compared to a loss of $447,532 for the quarter ended March 31,
2002. This $82,508  (18.4%) reduction in loss is a result of a reduction in
all but two expense categories. The Company had no revenue for the three
months ended March 31, of either 2003 or 2002.

     Net cash used in operations was $346,799 during the three months ended
March 31, 2003 compared to $249,484 in the three months ended March 31,
2002. The primary use of cash was the funding of the net operating loss of
$365,0240 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. This was also the case in
2002, where the operating loss was $447,532 during the first quarter.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, Accounts Payable decreased by
$30,954 and Accrued Expenses decreased $4,448. During the first quarter
2002, Accounts Payable increased by $83,976, Accrued Expenses increased
$19,920 and Payroll Taxes Payable increased $ 3,545.  Officers and
Directors of the Company continued to defer salary payments during 2003.
The Company recorded the unpaid liability as Accounts Payable.

     Depreciation Expense of $69,873 for the three months ended March 31,
2003, is a slight reduction from the 2002 expense of $75,841.  This $5,968
reduction is due to the disposal of a equipment previously acquired for the
QCAL operation and now being sold to generate cash.

     Travel expenses of $11,630 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, are a
reduction from the $20,565 expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 but
is primarily a timing difference with more extensive travel anticipated in
second and third quarters.

     Professional fees decreased from $16,988 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002, to $9,081 for the comparable 2003 quarter. Legal expenses
in the first quarter of 2003 were also low due to timing differences and
are expected to be higher in the second and third quarters

     Office expense of $11,055 for the three months ended March 31, 2003,
is a $18,986 decrease from the 2002 expenses of $30,041 for the same
quarter. This decrease is primarily due to reductions in staff and overhead
made during the third and fourth quarters of 2002. The 2002 expenses
included translation expense for documentation related to the Poseidon
project and the CISAP settlement which did not recur in 2003

     Administrative expenses of $62,511 for the three months ended March
31, 2003, are $26,681 lower than the $89,192 for the comparable 2002
period.  This decrease is also primarily due to reductions in staff and
overhead made during the third and fourth quarters of 2002.

                                     12

     Consulting expenses of $114,200 for the three months ended March 31,
2003 decreased by $53,160 from the three months ended March 31, 2002
expense of $167,360. This decrease is due to less use of consultants in
Germany and the switch to part time status for one U.S. consultant. Further
reductions are anticipated as the year progresses.

     Research and Development expenses of $24,715 in the three months ended
March 31, 2003 exceed the $6,285 reported in the comparable 2002 quarter.
This is primarily due to the recording of expenses which were recorded as
salaries in the first quarter of 2002 and subsequently re categorized as
R&D.

     The Company sold a major piece of equipment from its inventory of used
equipment during the first quarter of 2003. The net effect of the
disposition is recorded as a gain  from sales of equipment of $31,740.
Under the terms of the sale, the Company recorded an Accounts Receivable of
$125,000. Due to a dispute, which has arisen with the buyer, the C ompany
anticipates that it may have to incur additional expenses to collect the
balance or may have to compromise a portion of the balance. Accordingly,
the Company has established a reserve against the balance and recorded an
expense of $50,000 as Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. No comparable
transaction occurred in the comparable 2002 quarter.


Item 3.  Controls and Procedures

  (a)     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
          -------------------------------------------------
          The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have conducted an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within 90 days before the
filing of this quarterly report.  Based on their evaluation, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

  (b)     Changes in Internal Controls and Procedures.
          --------------------------------------------
          Subsequent to the Evaluation Date, there were no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls, nor were any corrective actions
required with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
