NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed unaudited interim financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-QSB and do not contain information included in the Company’s annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.
These condensed unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Perma-Tune Electronics, Inc. ("Perma-Tune") was incorporated in 1993 in the state of Texas. The Company designs and manufactures high performance electronic ignition systems for distribution throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. On July 21, 2003, Perma-Tune acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Trans Max Technologies, Inc. ("Trans Max"), a Nevada corporation, in exchange for 15,177,300 shares of Perma-Tune's common stock (pre 2 for 1, 6 for 1 and 1 for 200 stock splits), 910,638 post split. As a result of this acquisition, the control of Perma-Tune shifted to the former shareholders of Trans Max and this transaction was treated as a recapitalization. As a part of this recapitalization, Perma-Tune Electronics, Inc. changed its name to Trans Max Technologies, Inc. (the "Company").

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED
Management Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. Generally, these criteria are met at the time product is shipped. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties upon shipment. The Company has a no return policy and has had no returns in the last two years. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
Research And Development
Research and development activities are expensed as incurred, including costs relating to patents or rights, which may result from such expenditures.
Principles Of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Concentrations Of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and account receivables. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions selected based upon management's assessment of the banks' financial stability. Balances periodically exceed the $100,000 federal depository insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTNUED)
Property And Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to seven years for office furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the life of the related lease. Additions or improvements that increase the value or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Disposals are removed from the accounts at cost less accumulated depreciation and any gain or loss from disposition is reflected in operations currently.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management's assessment as to their realization.
The difference between the 34% federal statutory income tax rate and amounts shown in the accompanying interim financial statements is primarily attributable to an increase in the valuation allowance applied against the tax benefit from utilization of net operating loss carry forwards.
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets
In the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset, including associated intangibles, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow is required. Based upon management's evaluation, an impairment write-down of some of the Company's assets was deemed necessary in the amount of $0 and $822,046 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
The Company accounts for its impairment in accordance with FASB 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments
The Company includes fair value information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from the book value. When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Common equivalent shares from common stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation, as their effect would dilute the loss per share for all periods presented.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the June 30, 2005 amounts. The reclassifications have no effect on the net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R, as amended, are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the next fiscal year after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements (note 3(e)). Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and thereafter.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 151 (FAS 151), “Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. FAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and spoilage. In addition, FAS 151 requires companies to base the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion on the normal capacity of production facilities. FAS 151 is effective for the Company in 2006. The Company does not expect FAS 151 to have a material impact on its results or financial statements.
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (" SFAS 153"). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a non-monetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for non-monetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 - LIQUIDITY
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company had a net loss of ($66,071) and ($1,962,797) for the same period in 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company had $34,282 and $763,799 negative cash flows from operations, respectively. The Company has been dependent on additional capital contributions from shareholders and debt financing to fund its cash requirements.
To assist with funding its operations, the Company's majority stockholders contributed additional paid-in capital of $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $605,859 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company's majority stockholders contributed additional loans of $32,050 and $861,789 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2005 and beyond the Company will require additional capital. Although the current majority stockholders of the Company have made a verbal commitment, with no guarantee, to continue to fund the research and development and sales and marketing efforts of the Company in 2005 if alternate financing cannot be obtained, there can be no assurance that any new capital would be available to the Company or that adequate funds for the Company's operations, whether from the Company's revenues, financial markets, or other arrangements will be available when needed or on terms satisfactory to the Company. The failure of the Company to obtain adequate additional financing may require the Company to delay, curtail, or scale back some or all of its research and development programs, sales and marketing efforts, and manufacturing operations.
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment, at June 30, 2005, consist of the following:

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
In connection with the Company's recapitalization (See Note 1), the Company filed amended articles of incorporation that changed the authorized shares the Company is able to issue to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Since the Company's common stock did not previously have a stated par value, common stock for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the par value of $0.001 per share.
The Company's articles of incorporation also authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with characteristics determined by the Company's board of directors. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has not issued any preferred stock.

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY (DEFICIT) (Continued)
Effective March 12, 2004 the Company's board of directors approved a six for one forward split of the Company's stock. As a result, 184,263,395 shares were issued to the stockholders of the Company. Par value of the stock remained at $0.001 per share and, accordingly, $184,263 was transferred from additional paid-in capital to common stock. The effect of this stock split was recorded retroactively in the December 31, 2003 audited financial statements and, accordingly, all references to the number of common shares and per common share amounts have been restated to give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented in these financial statements.
On May 12, 2004, the Company issued 500 shares restricted shares to a consulting firm for the introduction of business opportunities. The cost associated with this issuance has been charged to consulting expense in the second quarter.
On May 25, 2004, Eastern Business Associates, Inc., Balboa Group, Inc., and Financial Investors, Inc. each acquired 43,002,350 shares of the Company’s stock or 19.4% of the outstanding shares resulting in a change in control of the Company. All three companies have the same Managing Director.
On July 20, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution authorizing and approving a 200 to 1 reverse stock split with the effective date of August 9, 2004 and the trading symbol of the Company was changed to TMAX.
On August 24, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement with Groupo Aquinas SA whereby Groupo Aquinas SA assigned to the Company all the marketing and purchasing rights to water making technologies together with all related intellectual properties, including a Water Air Machine (WAM), which produces large quantities of drinkable water from the air at a low cost, in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company and $1,500,000 of which $10,300 was paid during 2004. The certificates will bear the appropriate 2-year restrictive legend. This issuance of stock changes the control of the Company to Groupo Aquinas SA, a company with the same Managing Director as the three former control companies.
The Company in the third quarter also issued 7,911,350 shares of common stock for services valued at $43,512.
The Company in the third quarter converted $271,519 in notes payable to 271,519 common shares of stock.

NOTE 8 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes will be determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes will be measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s consolidated tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

NOTE 8 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (Continued)
At June 30, 2005, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
Deferred tax asset | | $ | 727,100 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (727,100 | ) |
| | $ | -0- | |
At June 30, 2005, the Company had an accumulated deficit in the approximate amount of $2,138,800 available to offset future taxable income through 2024. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.
NOTE 9- GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred substantial net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support those operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and acquire an operating, cash flow positive company.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Overview
We were incorporated in 1993 in the state of Texas under the name Perma-Tune Electronics, Inc. On July 21, 2003 we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Trans Max Technologies, Inc. ("Trans Max"), a Nevada corporation, in a share exchange agreement for shares of our common stock. As a result of this acquisition, our control was shifted to the former shareholders of Trans Max and this transaction was treated as a recapitalization. As a part of this recapitalization, we changed our name to Trans Max Technologies, Inc.
From July of 2003 until May of 2004, we primarily designed and manufactured high-energy electronic ignition systems for street vehicles, race cars, boats, scientific and industrial applications, space and aviation applications, as well as clean burning fuel applications. We previously sold our product through a well established network of wholesale distributors. During that time, we continued to develop new product lines in order to supply repair and performance parts for a variety of cars, trucks, and boats, as well as developing new ignition technologies that will increase an engines performance while improving fuel economy. The ignition control module in an internal combustion engine creates the energy to form the spark which begins the chain reaction of combustion. In conventional automobiles, the ignition control module feeds energy to the ignition coil to amplify that energy. The energy is then distributed by a distributor to the spark plugs which produce the spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber.
In May 2004, we had a change in management. Following this change in management, we reorganized our operations and sought other business opportunities for acquisition.
On August 24, 2004, we entered into an Agreement with Groupo Acquinas SA (“Groupo”) whereby Groupo would assign to us all the marketing and purchasing rights it acquired from Victor Vartovy & Company (“VVC”). Groupo entered into an Exclusive Purchase Agreement with VVC and acquired all the ownership purchase rights to water making technologies together with all related intellectual properties, including the Water Air Machine (“WAM”), which produces large quantities of drinkable water from the air at a low cost. Samuel J. Higgins, an officer of our company, a member of our board of directors, and majority shareholder, is the managing director of Groupo Acquinas SA.
On August 24, 2004, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) with Adaptive Propulsion Systems, LLC (“Adaptive”). Adaptive is a subsidiary of Tactronics, Inc., a major supplier of equipment to the United States Special Forces Command. Under this Agreement, Adaptive will finance further development of WAM, improve and optimize WAM performance, and develop and incorporate a security system for WAM. Adaptive can utilize its expertise to modify the WAM; however, we will have all rights to any patentable technology that emerges. Also under the terms of this Agreement, we will grant Adaptive the exclusive right to utilize this technology for the military of all NATO countries. We will receive 20% of the gross revenue from all sales of WAM by Adaptive. Adaptive will receive 5% of the gross revenue from all of our sales to non-military purchasers. This agreement is for a term of 20 years unless revised by joint agreement of the parties.
We have delayed proceeding forward with the Agreement due to our insufficient level of financing. As a result, our efforts currently are focused on raising the requiring financing to execute our business plan. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to support our business plan and operate a cash flow positive company. Upon securing additional financing, we will proceed forward under the Agreement with Adaptive.
We currently have no business activities. Due to our inability to secure funding, we are unable to implement our business plan. Over the next 12 months our plan is to secure additional financing opportunities in order to proceed with an active business operation. Given our lack of success in generating any discussions, we plan to retain a consultant to assist us identifying additional financing, but have not retained a consultant at the present time. Our plan of operation is to continue our attempts to identify and evaluate financing opportunities in order to proceed with an active business operation.
We currently have forecasted the expenditure of approximately $20,000 during the next twelve months in order to remain in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, retain a consultant, and to identify additional financing. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional financing to implement our current business plan. We can provide no assurance that we will receive additional financing if sought.
We do not anticipate purchasing any real property or significant equipment in the next twelve months.
At the present time, we have no employees other than our sole officer and director, Dr. Raymond Brouzes. We do not anticipate hiring any employees until such time as we are able to acquire any additional financing.
Assets
As of June 30, 2005, our sole asset was cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $837. As of June 30, 2005, we had total assets in the amount of $1,819,578. As of June 30, 2005, we had an accounts receivable from an affiliate in the amount of $311,339 and property and equipment in the amount of $1,507,402.
Liabilities and Stockholders’ Deficit
Our total liabilities as of June 30, 2005 were $2,406,003. On June 30, 2005 our liabilities consisted of accounts payable and accrued expensed in the amount of $1,603,257, notes payable to stockholders in the amount of $802,746.
As of June 30, 2005, there was a Stockholders’ deficit of $586,425.
Results of Operations
We have not had any business operations since May 2004 and have not generated any revenue since fiscal 2003. As a result, we did not earn any revenue during the three or six months ended June 30, 2005 or in the same reporting period in the prior year.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $36,902 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to operating expenses of $560,374 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $42,076 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to operating expenses of $1,121,811 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Our operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were primarily attributable to general and administrative expenses. The significant decrease in our operating expenses is attributable to us ceasing operations and reorganizing our business.
We have incurred a net loss of $49,115 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to $1,391,543 for the three month period ended June 30, 2004. We have incurred a net loss of $66,071 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to $1,962,797 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004. Our losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are primarily attributable to operating expenses. Our losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily attributable to general and administrative expenses and the impairment of our assets in the amount of $822,046 resulting from leasehold improvements in an abandoned building in Ronkonkoma, New York.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2005, we have cash in the amount of $837. We had a working capital deficit of $2,405,166 on June 30, 2005. As a result, we had insufficient capital to complete our business plan.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to complete our business plan over the next 12 months. We can provide no assurance that we will receive any additional financing. For these reasons, our auditors have stated in their report that they have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, we incurred substantial net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. There is no guarantee whether we will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support those operations. For these reasons, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our future success is dependent upon our ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise enough capital or generate revenues to sustain its operations. Management believes we can raise the appropriate funds needed to support our business plan and operate a cash flow positive company.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should we not be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2005, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2005. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Raymond Brouzes. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
