PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
You should read the following summary together with the entire prospectus, including the more detailed information in our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider the matters discussed in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5.
Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (“IET”)
Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd., formerly Naturol Holdings Ltd., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on February 2, 1999.
Since our incorporation on February 2, 1999, we have not been engaged in any significant operations nor have we had any significant revenues, as we are in the development stage. All of our current operations are conducted through I.E.T., Inc. our wholly-owned subsidiary. I.E.T., Inc. currently operates through two divisions: the EcaFloTM Division and the Essential Oils Extraction Division.
Through I.E.T., Inc. our activities have included: (i) the execution of a Letter Agreement with SPDG Naturol Ltd., a division of Coach House Group UK Ltd., (collectively referred to as “Coach House Group”), (ii) the execution of a License agreement with Electro-Chemical Technologies Ltd., a Nevada corporation, and Laboratory of Electrotechnology Ltd., a Russian limited liability company, (iii) the execution of a Collaborative Agreement with Coastal Carolina University, and (iv) the execution of a Letter Agreement with Pentagon Technical Services, a small consulting firm, wherein we agreed to contract Pentagon to assist us as a manufacturer’s representative/sales and distribution agent.
Recent Developments
The first quarter of 2005 was our first quarter to generate revenues amounting to $61,367, in the second quarter we generated revenues amounting to $20,695, and in the third quarter we generated $10,220.
In January 2005, we sold our first EcaFlo™ 080 device to a Colorado-based oilfield service company specializing in production enhancement of oil and gas wells. In June 2005, we sold one of our EcaFlo™ Model 240 to Antero Resources Corporation, a petroleum production company. The Model 240 is one of our expanding line of EcaFlo™ units, including the Model 40, Model 080, Model 240, Model 480 and Model 960.
In September 2005, we executed a Joint Marketing Agreement with Biophage Pharma, Inc. The agreement enables both companies to market an end-to-end pathogen detection and control system. The combined marketing efforts will promote our EcaFlo™ equipment, in its role as an environmentally-responsible pathogen control method, and the Biophage Pharma PDS® Biosensor, which is a rapid and efficient system that can detect and quantify living pathogens. When combined, these systems will allow for the rapid detection of harmful pathogens and the means necessary to manage or eliminate them.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of IET as a going concern. IET’s cash position may be inadequate to pay all of the costs associated with testing, production and marketing of products. Management intends to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of its cash position, however no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should IET be unable to continue existence.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock will provide you with an equity ownership in Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. As one of our stockholders, you will be subject to risks inherent in our business. The trading price of your shares will be affected by the performance of our business relative to, among other things, competition, market conditions, and general economic and industry conditions. The value of your investment may decrease, resulting in a loss. You should carefully consider the following factors as well as other information contained in this prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. As of the date of this filing, our management is aware of the following material risks.
Risks Relating to an Investment in IET
Some of our recent sales have been for applications outside of our exclusive license agreement with Electro-Chemical Technologies Ltd.
We are exclusively licensed certain applications in the United States by Electro-Chemical Technologies Ltd. The applications are as follows: (i) recreational water purification units producing small volumes per hour of potable water; (ii) residential water purification units; (iii) water purification units for use by small businesses such as offices, motels and restaurants, and state and local government facilities, not including municipal water systems; (iv) the disinfection of storm water runoff; and (v) the decontamination of oil well water. Recently, we have made sales to customers for applications outside of our exclusive license agreement. Management is relying on a letter from Vadim Panichev, President and CEO of Electro-Chemical, of confirmation of our mutual understanding with Electro-Chemical that we are free to explore additional usages prior to modifying the original exclusive license agreement. The EcaFloTM division of our company is currently the only source of sales-generated income and any change to our exclusive license could have a material impact on our ability to continue operations.
We depend solely on the Laboratory of Electrotechnology Ltd. (“LET”) to manufacture/assemble and provide us with the patented flow-through electrolytic modules (FEMs), which are a core component of our EcaFloTMunits. If LET is unable or unwilling to provide us with the FEMs, we may have to secure another source for FEMs.
LET holds the patent and exclusive rights to manufacture/assemble FEMs and supply them to us under our license agreement. LET is located in Russia and is currently manufacturing FEMs. If there were to be an interruption or failure in the delivery of FEMs, we would suffer a significant disruption to our operations that would have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In the event of an interruption or failure in the delivery of FEMs, we would have to cease operations in the EcaFloTMDivision until such time as we could secure FEMs from another source or regain delivery of FEMs from LET.
We are a development stage company with a minimal operating history, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to successfully develop profitable business operations.
We have a limited operating history. However, our management team has extensive experience in project development and managing corporate assets. A highly successful professional who brings more than three decades of business development experience to us from the environmental engineering industry heads our marketing and sales department. The Company’s engineering department is staffed by former military personnel and an experienced mechanical engineer who have expertise that center on the
5
primary mechanical and electrical aspects of the two technologies that we are moving forward. Of course, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a business in our intended industries. Outside of the high levels of expertise noted above and our concentrated effort to be the leading provider in our industries, there is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably.
Our future operating results will depend upon many factors, including:
The continuation of our efforts to raise adequate working capital through equity investment and the generation of sales revenues;
The continued success of lab testing that supports the development of our EcaFloTM technology product lines;
Demand for our EcaFloTM technology;
The level of our competition;
Our ability to maintain key management and technical support staff, and to attract more employees with similar characteristics; and
The continuation of our efforts to efficiently develop products to commercialize while maintaining quality and controlling costs.
To achieve profitable operations, we must, alone or with others, successfully act on the factors stated above, along with continually developing ways to enhance our production efforts, now that we are commencing production in the EcaFloTM Division. Since inception through September 30, 2005 we have incurred a net loss of $3,147,036 and had stockholders’ equity of $291,911.
At these final phases between developmental stage and production stage business operations, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high possibility of losing their investment.
Due to the intrinsic nature of our business, we expect to see growth in competition and the development of new and improved technologies within the realm of electro-chemical activation processes and products. While we will always keep a close eye on technological advancement in these areas, management forecasts are not necessarily indicative of our ability to compete with newer technology, as they may develop. Management forecasts should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. While management believes its estimates of projected occurrences and events are within the timetable of its business plan, our actual results may differ substantially from those that are currently anticipated.
We will need additional capital in the future to finance our planned growth, which we may not be able to raise or it may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.
Based on our current proposed plans and assumptions, we anticipate that our existing funds will only be sufficient to fund our operations and capital requirements for approximately 4 months. Furthermore, the commercialization expenses of our two technologies will be very substantial, i.e., well in excess of the amount of cash that we currently have. Accordingly, we will have to (i) obtain additional debt or equity financing during the next 3-month period in order to fund the further development of our products and working capital needs, and/or (ii) enter into a strategic alliance with a larger company to provide our required funding.
6
Our auditor’s report reflects the fact that without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.
As a result of our deficiency in working capital at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, our auditors have included a paragraph in their report regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans in this regard are to seek additional funding through future equity private placements or debt facilities.
Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
• | Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document; |
• | Disclose certain price information about the stock; | |
• | Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer; |
• | Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and |
• | In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules. |
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
Our stock is thinly traded, as a result you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to liquidate your shares.
The shares of our common stock are thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give investors no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.
7
We are subject to significant competition from large, well funded companies.
The industries we intend to compete in are characterized by intense competition and rapid and significant technological advancements. Many companies, research institutions and universities are working in a number of areas similar to our primary fields of interest to develop new products, some of which may be similar and/or competitive to our products. Furthermore, many companies are engaged in the development of water purifying products and methods for extracting oil from botanicals of which may be similar and/or competitive to our products and technology. Most of the companies with which we compete have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and other resources than us.
We are highly dependent on William E. Prince, our CEO, president and chairman. The loss of Mr. Prince, whose knowledge, leadership and technical expertise upon which we rely, would harm our ability to execute our business plan.
Our success depends heavily upon the continued contributions of William E. Prince, whose knowledge, leadership and technical expertise would be difficult to replace, and on our ability to retain and attract technical and professional staff. If we were to lose his services, our ability to execute our business plan would be harmed and we may be forced to cease operations until such time as we could hire a suitable replacement for Mr. Prince. We also have other key employees who manage our operations and perform critical engineering and design functions, as well as direct the overall marketing and sales of our products. If we were to lose their services, senior management would be required to expend time and energy to replace and train their replacements. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources we may not be able to attract the sufficient number and quality of staff.
Potential issuance of additional common stock could dilute existing stockholders.
We are authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock. To the extent of such authorization, our board of directors has the ability, without seeking stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of common stock in the future for such consideration as the board of directors may consider sufficient. We are currently seeking additional equity and/or debt financing, which may result in additional shares of our common stock being issued. The issuance of additional common stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of the common stock held by our existing stockholders.

Unless footnoted above, based on information provided to us, none of the selling security holders are affiliated or have been affiliated with any broker-dealer in the United States. Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, none of the selling security holders are affiliated or have been affiliated with us, any of our predecessors or affiliates during the past three years.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling security holders. The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling security holders. The term “selling security holders” includes pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling security holders as a pledge, gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The number of shares beneficially owned by each selling security holder will decrease as and when it effects any such transfers. The plan of distribution for the selling security holders’ shares sold hereunder will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, pledgees, donees or other successors will be selling security holders hereunder. To the extent required, we may amend and/or supplement this prospect us from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
17
The selling security holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling security holders may offer their shares from time to time pursuant to one or more of the following methods:
| • | On the OTC Bulletin Board or on any other market on which our common stock may from time to time be trading; |
| • | One or more block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| • | Purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; |
| • | Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| • | In public or privately-negotiated transactions; |
| • | Through underwriters, brokers, or dealers (who may act as agents or principals) or directly to one or more purchasers; |
| • | An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of an exchange; |
| • | Through market sales, both long or short, to the extent permitted under the federal securities laws; or |
| • | In any combination of these methods. |
The sale price to the public may be:
| • | The market price prevailing at the time of sale; |
| • | A price related to the prevailing market price; |
| • | At negotiated prices; or |
| • | Any other prices as the selling stockholder may determine from time to time. |
In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling security holders may
| • | Enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume; |
| • | Sell the shares short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions; |
| • | Enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealer or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of shares offered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; and |
| • | Pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, which, upon a default, they may in turn resell. |
18
In addition to the foregoing methods, the selling security holders may offer their shares from time to time in transactions involving principals or brokers not otherwise contemplated above, in a combination of such methods as described above or any other lawful methods.
Sales through brokers may be made by any method of trading authorized by any stock exchange or market on which the shares may be listed or quoted, including block trading in negotiated transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, such brokers may act as dealers by purchasing any or all of the shares covered by this prospectus, either as agents for others or as principals for their own accounts, and reselling such shares pursuant to this prospectus. A selling security holder may effect such transaction directly, or indirectly through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents on their behalf. In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate.
The selling security holders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. These broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom these broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that the selling security holders will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling security holders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered by this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling security holders if they do not exercise or convert the common stock equivalents (warrants) that they own. The selling security holders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered by this prospectus, may be deemed “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations under those acts. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
The selling security holders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered by this prospectus through an underwriter. To our knowledge, none of the selling security holders have entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there can be no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into. If the selling security holders enter into such an agreement or agreements, then we will set forth, in a post-effective amendment to this prospectus, the following information:
| • | The number of shares being offered; |
| • | The terms of the offering, including the name of any selling security holder, underwriter, broker, dealer or agent; |
| • | The purchase price paid by any underwriter; |
| • | Any discount, commission and other underwriter compensation; |
| • | Any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer; |
| • | The proposed selling price to the public; and |
| • | Other facts material to the transaction. |
19
The selling security holders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions or the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling security holders or any other such person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market and certain other activities with respect to the same securities for specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
We have agreed to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus, except that the selling security holder will be responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and related charges in connection with the offer and sale of the shares and the fees of the selling security holder’s counsel.
We have agreed with the selling security holders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part continuously effective until the earlier of the date that the shares covered by this prospectus may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or the date that all of the shares registered for sale under this prospectus have been sold.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling security holders, or their respective transferees or assignees, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the selling security holders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

Election of Directors and Officers. |
Directors are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
No Executive Officer or Director of the Company has been the subject of any Order, Judgment, or Decree of any Court of competent jurisdiction, or any regulatory agency permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring suspending or otherwise limiting him from acting as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in the securities industry, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of an investment company, bank, savings and loan association, or insurance company or from engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with any such activity or in connection with the purchase or sale of any securities.
No Executive Officer or Director of the Company has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations) or is the subject of a criminal proceeding which is currently pending.
No Executive Officer or Director of the Company is the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that as of the date of this filing they were all current in there filings.
Audit Committee and Financial Expert
We do not have an Audit Committee, our directors perform some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
We have no financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our start-up operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Code of Ethics
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
| (1) | Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
22
| (2) | Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer; |
| (3) | Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
| (4) | The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and |
| (5) | Accountability for adherence to the code. |
We have not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
Our decision to not adopt such a code of ethics results from our having only two officers operating as the management for the Company. We believe that as a result of the limited interaction which occurs having such a small management structure for the Company eliminates the current need for such a code, in that violations of such a code would be reported to the party generating the violation.
Nominating Committee
We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our board of directors, perform some of the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee in that we are a development stage company with limited operations and resources.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of our common stock on December 22, 2005 held by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our directors and executive officers.
The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 35,197,793 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 22, 2005. The percentage of beneficial ownership after the exercise of warrants is based on 47,327,793 shares of common stock outstanding assuming the issuance of 12,130,000 shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of warrants held by selling security holders.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes (unless footnoted) shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after December 22, 2005 through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of our common stock.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION
POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
No director of IET will have personal liability to us or any of our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director involving any act or omission of any director since provisions have been made in the articles of incorporation limiting liability. The foregoing provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for:
| • | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders |
| • | acts or omissions not in good faith or, which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law |
| • | for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
The Bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, and employees in most cases for any liability suffered by them or arising out of their activities as directors, officers, and employees if they were not engaged in willful misfeasance or malfeasance in the performance of their duties; provided that in the event of a settlement the indemnification will apply only when the board of directors approves settlement and reimbursement as being for our best interests.
Our officers and directors are accountable to us as fiduciaries, which means they are required to exercise good faith and fairness in all dealings affecting IET. In the event that a stockholder believes the officers and/or directors have violated their fiduciary duties, the stockholder may, subject to applicable rules of civil procedure, be able to bring a class action or derivative suit to enforce the stockholder’s rights, including rights under federal and state securities laws and regulations to recover damages from and require an accounting by management. Stockholders, who have suffered losses in connection with the purchase or sale of their interest in IET in connection with a sale or purchase, including the misapplication by any officer or director of the proceeds from the sale of these securities, may be able to recover losses from us.
We undertake the following:
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission this type of indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

All of our current operations are conducted through I.E.T., Inc. I.E.T., Inc. currently operates through two divisions: the EcaFloTM Division and the Essential Oils Extraction Division.
Our Business
EcaFloTM Division
On September 4, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Electro-Chemical Technology, Ltd. (licensor) and Laboratory Electrotechnology Ltd. (supplier) for an exclusive, royalty-bearing license allowing us to utilize the patents and the technical information owned by the licensor and the supplier to purchase, manufacture/assemble (with the exceptions of flow-through electrolytic modules, “FEM”), market, lease, sell, distribute and service Licensed Products throughout the United States of America for the use in licensed applications. The licensed applications include (a) recreational water purification units producing small volumes per hour of potable water; (b) residential water purification units; and (c) water purification units for use by small businesses such as offices, motels and restaurants, and state and local government facilities, not including municipal water systems. The licensor/supplier retains the
27
exclusive right to manufacture/assemble FEM’s and to supply us with FEM’s. The License period goes through the date of the last expiration of the patent on the technology (5/2018). We paid a fee of $75,000 for the agreement and the fee is being amortized over the period of September 2003 through May 2018. There will be a royalty of 8% of the net sales price due on any sales made by us.
On October 27, 2004, we amended our license and supply agreement to add two additional applications by which we can utilize the technology provided in the license and supply agreement. The additional applications are: (1) the disinfection of storm water runoff; and (2) the decontamination of oil well water. As consideration for the grant of the two additional applications we paid additional license fees of $31,500.
The license is on a proprietary technology component (FEM-3) of the ECA technology that was originally developed in the Soviet Union. This unique technology is based on electrochemical activation (ECA), which is the process of passing ordinary water or a diluted saline solution (0.01 – 1.0%) through a specially designed electrolytic cell in order to modify their functional properties without adding reagents. Ecasol solutions have the demonstrated ability to:
| • | Destroy microorganisms such as botrytis fungus, salmonella, e-coli, listeria and anthrax spores; |
| • | Neutralize chemical agents such as Soman and VX; |
Our EcaFlo™ technology division designs, markets, assembles and sells equipment that can produce two basic types of ECA solutions:
| 1) | Anolyte solutions are strong oxidizing solutions with a pH range of 3.5 – 8.5 and an Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) of +600 to +1200 mV. Anolytes can potentially be used as a broad-spectrum germicidal agent to kill all types of microorganisms including viruses, fungi and bacteria. |
| 2) | Catholyte solutions are anti-oxidizing, mild alkaline solutions with a pH range of 10.5 to 12.0 and ORP of –600 to –900 mV. Catholtye solutions can potentially be used as degreasers or detergents. |
Based on extensive research, both anolyte and catholyte solutions:
| • | Are environmentally friendly; |
| • | Are non toxic to both humans and animals; |
| • | Do not require special handling; |
| • | Can be safely disposed of in sewage systems; |
| • | Can be used in all stages of disinfection and cleaning; |
| • | At recommended concentrations, do not bleach surfaces or materials; |
| • | Can be applied in liquid, ice or aerosol (fog) form; |
| • | Yield by-products that are non-toxic, environmentally friendly and leave no synthetic chemical residue; |
| • | Can be generated on-site, thus eliminating handling and storage of chemicals; and |
28
| • | Can be produced on-site from tap water and salt in required quantities and concentration of active ingredients, pH and salinity (mineralization). |
In addition, anolyte application as hard surface disinfectants on a daily basis for more than ten years demonstrated that microorganisms do not develop resistance against anolytes over time.
The characteristics described above position EcaFlo™ equipment for potential applications in a number of areas directly related to personal health and safety. Electro-Chemical Technology, Ltd. provided us with the example that, “in 1997 the U.S. Marines Corps commissioned the Battelle Memorial Institute (a non-profit research organization headquartered in Columbus, Ohio) to test the efficacy of the Ecasol technology in applications relating to the protection of individuals from chemical and biological weapons. In the initial phases of these tests, Ecasol was tested against the anthrax spore, botatoxin, Soman and mustard gas. Following these tests, field-testing (Operational Tests) was conducted at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina by the Marine Corps Chemical/Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF). By April 1998 the Marine Corps Systems Command had concluded that Ecasol represented ‘...not just an improvement but a breakthrough in the effectiveness of destroying anthrax and botulism on contact.’” We believe there are numerous other practical, cost-effective applications for EcaFlo™ equipment.
EcaFloTM Competition
Competition for products which resemble our EcaFloTM devices is expected to intensify and to increase as our devices enter the commercial marketplace. Our competitors do not include companies that produce basic-to-complex water filtration systems, even though many are substantially larger and have greater financial, research, manufacturing, and marketing resources. While effective and cost-efficient, these companies simply produce filtrated water, unlike I.E.T. Inc.’s EcaFloTM devices that produce electrochemically active, but entirely safe, water that kills harmful microorganisms on contact.
Important competitive factors for our EcaFloTM products include product quality, environmental sensitivity, price, ease of use, customer service, and reputation. Industry competition is based on the following:
| • | Scientific and technological capability; |
| • | The ability to develop and market processes; |
| • | Access to adequate capital; |
| • | The ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and |
| • | The availability of patent protection. |
Essential Oils Extraction Division
Our Board of Directors is currently considering the best method for accommodating the needs of this division; whether by establishing a separate company to house the intellectual properties associated with essential oils extraction, or to consider postponing the “launch” of this division until such time as it would not take time and energy away from operating the EcaFlo™ division. The essential oils extraction technology under this division is associated with providing for an effective, low cost extraction of high value bioactive compounds and oils from plants and other sources. Extracting bioactive compounds is a rapidly growing global business. The applications developed using the Essential Oils extraction technologies are deemed by us to be superior in almost every respect to both, steam distillation and solvent extraction, the world’s principal methods for producing such extracts. Solvent extraction, the current method of choice, is under increasing attack due to its reliance on solvents known to be either, toxic, carcinogenic, and/or flammable. The Essential Oils extraction technologies have none of these harmful and dangerous attributes.
29
The fact remains that the extraction technology associated with this division a myriad of business opportunities in a number of industries, including:
Each of these industries is rapidly expanding its use of plant-based extracts, and our Essential Oils Extraction Division is being positioned to become a force in the production of these extracts.
As further contemplation of best business practices relative to the future structure for this division occurs, the following points relative to essential oils extraction remain intact:
Major Advantages of the Essential Oils Extraction Technologies
Plant extraction technology in North America, Europe and other industrialized nations has remained almost unchanged for the past hundred years. As indicated earlier, solvent extraction is currently the preferred method. In solvent extraction, the biomass from which the desired product is to be extracted is mixed with a liquid (solvent). The solvents are typically alcohols (methanol, ethanol isopropanol), dichloromethane, hexane (similar to gasoline), and super critical carbon dioxide. With the exception of super critical carbon dioxide, most of these solvents are known to be toxic, carcinogenic (they are linked to cancer in animals and humans) and flammable. These solvents also deplete the ozone layer and are considered to be “greenhouse gases.” Given that these solvents leave measurable residues in the oils and bio-compounds they extract, they are highly undesirable substances for any product consumed or used by humans.
Problematically, residues (particularly hexane) remain in extracts used by the food, pharmaceutical and fragrance industries. A major market opportunity exists for a superior extraction system that eliminates not only the problems associated with these solvents, but at the same time produces a superior, safer product at significantly lower production costs. Essential Oils extraction technologies are intended to supply such an alternative.
The Essential Oils extraction technologies use a new group of eco-friendly solvents. The key advantages of these solvents over the primary competitive extraction systems are as follows:
| • | Significantly lower production costs |
| • | Totally safe to use, the solvents are non-flammable and inert |
| • | The extracts are achieved at ambient temperatures or below, to our knowledge a world first. Unlike almost all other plant extraction systems, the plants and the dissolved compounds are never subjected to heat, which destroys valuable extracts and degrades the quality of the remaining biomass. |
30
| • | All of our Essential Oils extraction processing equipment can be assembled as modules and can be moved to the location where the feedstock crops are growing, thereby limiting the possible degradation of the material to be extracted due to time delays incurred by moving the feedstock plants to another site for processing. |
| • | The solvents in the system are continuously recycled and solvent losses in any production year are unlikely to exceed three percent. |
| • | Solvent residues in products produced using the Essential Oils extraction technologies are at least 1000 times less than those in which hexane (widely used and a known carcinogen) is used as the solvent. |
All of the above advantages create tremendous opportunities for Essential Oils extraction technologies in these expanding markets.
Essential Oils Extraction Competition:
Competition in the extraction of oils is a global business, premised upon technology and methodology which has been in existence for a significant period of time. The following are the existing methods that represent the major alternatives to the Essential Oils extraction technologies:
Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Extraction
Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Extraction is the only significant technology that can be considered as a competitor in terms of the quality of the extracts produced. This is the technology that is used to make decaffeinated coffee and hop extracts for the brewing industry.
However, while the quality of the products produced by this technology is generally very high, this quality is achieved at a very significant capital and operating cost. Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Extraction Systems operate at extremely high pressures, about 5000 to 7500 psi. These elevated pressures are rarely used anywhere in industry and therefore require costly custom designed equipment. In contrast, an Essential Oils extraction system operates at a pressure that is close to that of a bottle of champagne. Consequently, the cost of a Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Extraction System is ten to twenty times the cost of a comparable Essential Oils extraction system.
Steam Distillation
Steam Distillation is the principal method used in developing countries for the extraction of plant oils and compounds. This method has been used for over one thousand years.
Steam Distillation requires the heating of large volumes of water to create steam for processing the plant material so that the extract can be removed by distillation. This method is very energy intensive and frequently poses a significant waste disposal problem. In addition, the products yielded by this process have all been “cooked” at temperatures at or in excess of 100 degrees C. This heating results in significant chemical changes within the end products. The extracts are recovered by vaporizing the extract or dissolving it in boiling water or steam. The primary utility of Steam Distillation is the recovery of water-soluble compounds or lower molecular weight materials, which readily vaporize.
31
Solvent/Hexane Extraction
Because of the problems and deficiencies associated with Steam Distillation, the extraction method chosen by the industrialized world for the past century has utilized alcohols (to form tinctures) or hydrocarbon solvents. The most popular and widely used solvent is hexane.
Hexane solvent extract, because of hexane’s highly flammable nature, is extremely hazardous, as demonstrated during the past decade by a number of explosions that have occurred at manufacturing facilities using hexane. Vapors commonly emitted during an extraction process using hexane are volatile organic compounds, or “VOC’s”. VOC’s can lead to respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has recently promulgated strict limits on VOC emissions (particularly hexane emissions) into the atmosphere and has mandated strict control and reporting requirements when hexane is used. Canada and Europe are considering similar restrictions.
The hexane solvent residue levels in plant extracts left by this extraction process are becoming unacceptable to many legislators and regulators in the food industry. This is likewise the case with many consumers, who are becoming acutely aware of the toxic nature of these residuals. Further restrictive legislation and regulations on these residues are pending. The products of hexane extraction usually require further costly refinement with alcohol. As is the case with Steam Distillation, all hexane-derived products are exposed to high temperatures for long periods in attempts to reduce residual hexane levels, thereby degrading the quality and efficacy of the final products.
The Essential Oils extraction process almost entirely eliminates damage to bioactive compounds during the extraction and recovery process. As a result, far better, purer, cleaner and more active pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals can be produced. This, in combination with the elimination of toxic residual solvents in the final products and the benign effect of the process on the environment, places our Essential Oils extraction technologies in a very strong position to become a leading technology in these highly lucrative business sectors.
Business Opportunities for Essential Oils Extraction Division
The global market for plant extract products is presented in the following overview of some of the specific industry sectors that can profitably employ the Essential Oils extraction technologies:
Pharmaceuticals
The past ten years has witnessed a strong and growing interest among pharmaceutical companies in the potential of plants to yield new drugs and medicines. About 20% of all prescription drugs and medicines used in North America and Europe today are directly derived from plants.
Access to the bioactive compounds in plants requires the best available extraction processes. Essential Oils extraction technologies are ideal for achieving many of the plant extractions needed in this highly profitable business sector. For example, during the past three years, Essential Oils extraction has been used successfully to extract:
| • | Artemicimin (from Artemsia Annua leaves): a new, front-line drug for treating malaria; |
| • | Colchicines (from Colchcum autumnale roots): a powerful anti-inflammatory; |
| • | Coumarin (from Tonka beans): a widely used blood anti-coagulant; |
| • | Kavalactones (from Piper methysticum, also known as St. John’s Wort): a natural ProzacTM; |
32
| • | Taxanes (Paclitaxel from the Canadian Yew Tree): most powerful new anti-cancer drug developed in the last 25 years; |
| • | Saw Palmetto: Prostate cancer treatment; |
| • | Lutein: Treatment for macular degeneration; |
| • | Policossanol and tocotrienols: Treatments for cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure; |
| • | Astaxanthin: A powerful antioxidant; and |
| • | Squalene and squalamine: Chemotherapy agents. |
Flavors, Fragrances and Colors for the Food Industry
Our Essential Oils extraction process utilizes eco-friendly solvents, together with its very low production costs and ability to produce high-quality products, provide a tremendous opportunity to capture part of the food flavors, fragrance and color markets.
Nutraceuticals/Functional Foods
The term “Nutraceuticals,” also referred to as “Functional foods,” is applied to a group of plant extracts that are widely accepted as bringing both health and nutrition benefits to the consumer. Typical nutraceuticals are Ginseng, Kava, and Gingko Biloba. These compounds are being incorporated into a wide variety of common foods. Lutein is already appearing in value-added food products.
The nutraceutical business is now global in scope, and generates annual sales in excess of $100 billion. Importantly, sales are growing at an annual rate of 7-8%. This creates an incredible opportunity for our Essential Oils extraction technologies, given their two-fold ability to produce the highest quality at the lowest cost.
Cosmeceuticals
A related area to Nutraceuticals is the booming “Cosmeceuticals” market, estimated by Freedonia Market Research Group to be $4.1 billion at year-end 2003. Skincare products alone in this sector were estimated to be $2.3 billion for 2003.
Key to the successful entry into this market is the ability to produce, in an eco-friendly process, plant extracts of the highest purity, with no (or minimal) health hazards.
Bio-Insecticides
With the rising concern over the use of chemical insecticides on food crops, there is increasing worldwide research to identify natural insecticides, most of which come from plants. Essential Oils extraction technologies are well suited to perform the extractions necessary to produce a wide-variety of bio-insecticide products.
Our Essential Oils extraction process has already demonstrated its ability to extract Pyrethroids from the Pyrethrum plant. Pyrethrum has historically been the most widely used naturally derived insecticide, but in recent years has been supplanted in many cases by chemical-based insecticides. Due to environmental concerns and restrictive environmental regulations, this trend appears to be reversing and Pyrethrum is enjoying a resurgence in popularity.
33
A by-product of the extraction of Lutein from Marigold plants is the isolation of compounds that are known to be insecticides and may be toxic to nematodes. Essential Oils extraction can be a valuable tool in making it possible to produce such bio-insecticides at commercially viable prices.
Industrial Oil from Plants
A great deal of research is currently being conducted to identify plant oils that are useful for industrial purposes and which are as effective as, and economical as, hydrocarbon-based oils, but which are environmentally more benign. For example, Linseed Oil, a high quality industrial lubricant in use for many years, is extracted from flax. Canola, rapeseed and soy oils are beginning to find industrial applications. Soy meal is used in producing adhesives and composites; soy oil is used in plastics and inks, and as solvents and lubricants. It is estimated that soy-based lubricants may capture 15% of the lubricants market, in part because they are biodegradable.
A plant oil which our Essential Oils extraction division has been testing is extracted from Vernonia. Vernonia is unique in that it contains a natural epoxy that can potentially replace hydrocarbon epoxies in a number of industrial applications. One such application is in oil-based paints. It is estimated by the USDA that the VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds that cause asthma and bronchitis) given off by oil based paints account for about 5% of the air pollution in Los Angeles, California. In the past five years a number of US corporations have applied for more than twenty patents involving the use of Vernonia – even though there is no commercial supply.
Competition in General Relative to our Two Separate Divisions
We expect competition to intensify as technological advances are made and become more widely known in the Essential Oils extraction technologies and the EcaFloTM technologies, and as new products reach the market. Furthermore, new technologies could be developed in the future that render our products impractical, uneconomical or obsolete. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing technologies and products that are more effective than those we develop or that would render our technologies and products obsolete or otherwise commercially unattractive. In addition, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in obtaining market acceptance of their products in advance of us as a result of their financial and technological superiority. These developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Personnel
We currently employ 9 full time employees, 2 part time employees, and 2 sales representatives. The 9 full time employees are engaged in management, marketing and sales, engineering, production and administrative services; our part time employees are within our production department; and one of the consultants provides technical/scientific support to the EcaFloTM Division of our Company. We continue to anticipate an increase in employees in the next twelve months as we add assembly personnel, shipping and receiving personnel and additional administrative support personnel.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. has evolved over a period of approximately three years from a one-technology development stage company (formerly Naturol Holdings Ltd.) to a two-division company that has entered its final phases of development prior to becoming an income-generating technology company. We have focused our attentions on several critical issues:
| • | Stabilizing and enhancing our financial position; |
| • | Developing our abilities to construct the equipment required for our EcaFloTM Division and Essential Oils Extraction Division |
| • | Developing and enhancing our testing protocol with Coastal Carolina University in regards to our EcaFloTM technology; |
| • | Developing a relationship with Clemson University to produce testing assistance with our Essential Oils Extraction Division and research assistance on the agricultural side of the EcaFloTM Division; and |
| • | Commencing the process of developing a brand identity and sales campaign through the appearance at various trade shows. |
Our ability to proceed with our plan of operation has continuously been a function of our ability to raise sufficient capital to continue our operations. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2004 we had cash available of $179,251. At the end of the third quarter of 2005 we had cash available of $306,070. Our cash requirements on a monthly basis are approximately $70,000, excluding exceptional expenses that are related to capital raising.
We have incurred losses since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2003 we had a net loss of $256,762 as compared to a net loss of $1,461,525 for the year ended December 31, 2004. This 469% increase in overall losses is the result of our increased business activities, which includes increased salary expenses for additional personnel, professional fees, and increased office expenses in setting up our new office and lab facilities in South Carolina. For the quarter ended September 30, 2005 we had a
38
net loss of $498,878 as compared to a net loss of $417,332 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. This 20% increase in overall losses is the result of our increased business activities. We generated our first revenues in the first quarter of 2005, amounting to $61,367. In the second quarter of 2005 we generated revenues amounting to $20,695 and in the third quarter of 2005 we generated revenues amounting to $10,220.
The forecast of sales-generated revenues in the EcaFloTM Division will add to our labor costs, but it is anticipated that deposits on customer purchase orders will off-set these expenses. Management intends to closely monitor the costs associated with the production of EcaFloTM devices in an attempt to minimize capital shortages. Our ability to continue our commercialization efforts will be critical, as we will continue to see an increase in “burn” rate due to expansion efforts needed to transition the Company fully from development stage into production stage. Capital, from investment financing through stockholders exercising their “A” warrants, may contribute substantial funds for our working capital needs. As we continue to expand operational activities, we anticipate experiencing net negative cash flows from operations, and may be required to fund operations from bank borrowings if available that could possibly be secured by contract sales of EcaFloTM devices in addition to continued equity sales of our common stock.
There can be no assurance that subsequent additional financing, if and as necessary, would be available, or if it is available, that it would be on acceptable terms. The terms of additional financing could involve a change of control and/or require stockholder approval. If additional financing is not available when, and if, required or is not available on acceptable terms, or we are unable to arrange a suitable strategic opportunity, we will be in significant financial jeopardy and we may be unable to continue our operations at current levels without significant changes to our business plan, if at all.
Results of Operations
The following overview provides a summary of key information concerning our financial results for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004.

Sales | | $ 10,220 | | $ - | | $ 92,282 | | $ - |
Historically, we have been in a development stage and had no sales but beginning in 2005 we have developed equipment that is being marketed and sold. We anticipate increased sales of our existing product line during the remainder of 2005 and we currently have developed new equipment which will be marketed upon successful completion of testing.
Cost of goods sold

Our cost of good sold in the three month and nine month period ended September 30 related to the sales of our products. It is anticipated that the product costs will increase proportionately with increased sales for the remainder of 2005. For our new products the cost of good sold will be at a similar percentage to sales of our current products.

Total operating expenses | | $ 1,103,031 | | $ 805,909 | | $ 297,122 | | 37% |
Total operating expense for the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 increased by $7,841 and $297,122, respectively, over similar periods in 2004 because of the hiring of additional employees, the opening of our office in South Carolina and the testing of new products. We utilize outside professionals for some of the functions that are necessary for our business and although these charges decreased during the three-month period the fees for the nine-month period were significantly higher than in 2004. This is normal for a business that is becoming an operating entity rather than a development stage company. We anticipate that until we are able to hire additional employees to perform the functions that we have outsourced we will continue to have significant professional fee costs.

Net loss | | $ (1,171,514) | | $ (812,605) | | $ 358,909 | | 44% |
Our net loss was higher in the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the similar periods in 2004 because we have increased costs in developing and getting our products marketed. Until we can increase sales we will continue to have net losses, however, we believe with the addition of new products we will be able to have the necessary revenues in order for us to become profitable.
Operation Plan
The two technologies that continue to drive our short-term and long-term plans are the 1) EcaFloTM Division, and 2) Essential Oils Extraction Division. Our plan of operation focuses on continuing the process of commercialization of EcaFloTM Division equipment while having our essential oil extraction plant constructed and installed in the South Carolina facility.
EcaFloTM Division:
On October 27, 2004, we amended our license and supply agreement to add two additional applications by which we can utilize the technology provided in the license and supply agreement. The additional applications are: (1) the disinfection of storm water runoff; and (2) the decontamination of oil well water.
Our focus has been re-directed from providing small water purification units to the markets at-hand: storm-water treatment, wastewater treatment, petroleum industry applications and food/beverage sanitation opportunities. FEM’s (flow-through electrolytic modules) continue to be the main components of the EcaFloTM Division equipment product line. We have established vendor relations with domestic suppliers for the other components that are used in our equipment. Engineering and design work on our 4-, 8-, and 24-FEM devices are complete. Parts have been ordered, received and assembled to put forth this Division’s first fully functional EcaFloTMModels 40, 40SS, 080, and 240.
On September 9, 2005, we issued a press release announcing our plans to incorporate our EcaFloTM equipment as a bacterial control component of a mobile response unit which contains an integrated system capable of providing drinking water for victims of Hurricane Katrina. The mobile water treatment system designed and built by Water Systems Integrators of Englewood, Colorado, can produce drinking water from contaminated flood water. Our equipment produces environmentally responsible biocides that are injected into the treatment system to destroy waterborne pathogens.
In September 2005, we executed a Joint Marketing Agreement with Biophage Pharma, Inc. The agreement enables both companies to market an end-to-end pathogen detection and control system. The combined marketing efforts will promote our EcaFloTM equipment, in its role as an environmentally-responsible pathogen control method, and the Biophage Pharma PDS® Biosensor, which is a rapid and efficient system that can detect and quantify living pathogens. When combined, these systems will allow
42
for the rapid detection of harmful pathogens and the means necessary to manage or eliminate them.
Essential Oils Extraction Division:
Negotiations with the Coach House Group, UK, are being held relative to the costing and delivery of the extraction plant that I.E.T., Inc. undertook in the third quarter of 2004. I.E.T., Inc. paid the Coach House Group $84,000 in the first quarter of 2004 for a 150-liter oil extraction “plant” that will be utilized by the company (2/3 capacity) and its university research partners (1/3 capacity). I.E.T., Inc. had quotes for the “plant” prepared and submitted by United States companies in order to get the very best price for the equipment. Discussions with the Coach House Group center on ordering this equipment. I.E.T., Inc. has initiated marketing efforts for its extracted essential oils within the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and food additive industries. Although these efforts are preliminary, the contact base is being developed so that markets will be easier to penetrate when this Division is operational.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements. We have historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of stock and by borrowings. In the future we believe we will be able to provide the necessary liquidity we need by the revenues generated from the sales of our products.
As of September 30, 2005, we had working capital of $46,654. Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 was $(908,141) as compared to $(434,440) for the period ended September 30, 2004. This decrease in working capital of $473,701 was directly related to us becoming an operating company with product development and sales. In the past our focus was on capital generation and product development while now we are transforming into a company whose focus will be product marketing and sales along with the testing of new products that will generate revenue for us.
We used very little of our cash for investing activities in 2005 as the first nine-months we only acquired new equipment of $2,085. In 2004 we had property and equipment additions of $486,773. We anticipate that in the near future as our operations expand we will need to acquire additional equipment that will support our growing operations.
We raised $1,037,045 in financing activities in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $1,002,011 for the same period in 2004. The capital we raised in 2005 was $813,245 from the sale of our common stock and $223,800 from debt financing. In 2004 we raised $697,912 from the sale of our common stock and we borrowed $304,099. We will continue to sell our stock and obtain debt financing in order to support our operations. As our revenues increase we will pay off our short term financing.
Financing. On February 1, 2005, we entered into a Promissory Note with United Capital Group, Inc. for the principal amount of $50,000. Pursuant to the note we promised to pay to the order of United Capital Group, Inc. the sum of $50,000 together with interest thereon at 6% per annum on any unpaid balance. According to the note the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest was due and payable on February 16, 2005. On June 16, 2005, we entered into another promissory note to extend the maturity date to January 16, 2006. Pursuant to the new note, United Capital may convert the note into shares of our common stock. At the option of the holder any amounts owed under the promissory note that are not paid in full may be converted into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share for each $0.10 of indebtedness converted. We also agreed to issue 50,000 shares of our commo n stock to United Capital. The 50,000 shares were issued on July 13, 2005.
43
On March 28, 2005, we entered into a demand note with one of our stockholder’s for $25,000 with an interest rate of 6%. At September 30, 2005 the loan had been repaid.
The Company has a line of credit from Crescent Bank in the amount of $50,250 with interest at prime plus 1%. At September 30, 2005 the line of credit had a balance due of $50,000.
On April 1, 2005, we executed a promissory note payable to DaVinci-Franklin Fund I, LLC in the amount of $150,000 (“Note”) plus interest according to the provisions provided in the promissory note attached as an exhibit to the Form 8-K dated April 13, 2005. The Note is secured by a second mortgage on our real property located at 4235 Commerce Street, Little River, SC 29566. Pursuant to the terms of the note, payment of principal and interest was due in full on or before August 29, 2005, which was extended to October 28, 2005. On October 28, 2005, we extended our obligation to repay $120,000 of the principal amount and $10,000 of interest due under the note to December 1, 2005.
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2005, our cash balance was $306,070. We believe that this amount will provide sufficient cash for the next four months. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through additional equity, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We anticipate sales-generated income during that same period of time, but do not anticipate generating sufficient amounts of revenues to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to make appropriate plans to insure sources of additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities.
Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through debt financing and the issuance of common stock for cash and services. As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of sales or development fees, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and debt borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital.
We anticipate incurring operating losses over the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving technology markets. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Going Concern
The financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of the Company as a going concern. The Company's cash position may be inadequate to pay all of the costs associated with testing, production and marketing of products. Management intends to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of its cash position, however no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue existence.

Summary of product and research and development that we have accomplished and that we will continue to perform for the term of our plan.
EcaFloTM Division
Product development within this division has moved ahead at a rapid pace throughout the first nine months of 2005. As a result of positive laboratory test results from the Water Quality Lab at Coastal Carolina University, in combination with internal profit margin comparisons between prototype EcaFloTM devices and their respective markets, we have been able to make decisions regarding market entry with our own specifically designed and engineered devices. We have passed the design/engineering stage for specific 4-, 8- and 24-FEM EcaFloTM devices and our engineering department has finalized vendor relations with strategic suppliers. Our administrative service department has finalized credit relations with these vendors in order to receive ordered parts by purchase order, and, as these device components have been received, the engineering department has assembled the 4-, 8- and 24-FEM units and tested the devices in our own “shop.” Technical support is being provided to our engineering department by our licensor’s personnel, who are knowledgeable in all matters concerning the ECA science, the technology and any modifications we need to make to achieve optimal efficacy for practical applications. Vital testing results have significantly improved our ability to complete our goals ahead of time and enter our markets with specific EcaFloTM devices with a firm confidence level.
On January 24, 2005, we sold our first EcaFloTM 080 device to a Colorado-based oilfield service company specializing in production enhancement of oil and gas wells.
On June 9, 2005, we issued a press release announcing the introduction and initial sale of our EcaFloTM Model 240 to Antero Resources Corporation, a petroleum production company. The Model 240 is one of our expanding lines of EcaFloTM units, including the Model 40, Model 080, Model 240, Model 480 and Model 960.
On August 31, 2005, we sold an EcaFloTM Model 40 to Yates Petroleum, a petroleum industry producer in the state of New Mexico. The sale of this 4-FEM, smaller volume, anolyte producer to another petroleum production company is part of our plan for moving further into the petroleum industry with EcaFloTM equipment that meets customer needs for treatment of source water, produced water and "frac" fluids.
On October 7, 2005, we sold an EcaFloTMModel 40 to Mickey’s Sales and Service, a regional janitorial and office supply company operating in the Norfolk, Virginia and Elizabeth City, North Carolina areas. Mickey's Sales and Service provides a multitude of business supply products, as well as contract and equipment services, to local area school systems, U.S. government facilities and other businesses in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. The sale of this small volume, anolyte and catholyte producer to Mickey's Sales and Service supply company is part of our plan for moving further into other target market areas with our EcaFloTM equipment, offering customers the ability to produce their own environmentally-friendly surface disinfectants, replacing hazardous chemicals currently used in sanitizing and cleaning applications.
45
On October 14, 2005, we sold an EcaFloTMModel 080 unit to SanAquel, an Oklahoma-based equipment manufacturer primarily involved in food safety for the meat industry. This unit is the first of several units anticipated to be purchased by SanAquel and integrated into their systems.
On November 1, 2005, we issued a press release announcing that we are preparing to provide EcaFloTMequipment as a component bacterial management mobile response unit for clean-up and environmental remediation in New Orleans, Louisiana.
We were selected to attend the 2005 Ag Provision Expo in Kenansville, North Carolina on October 21, 2005 to demonstrate our EcaFloTMline of equipment used to produce natural biocide solutions for pre-harvest and harvest applications for the enhancement of animal growth and development. We demonstrated our EcaFloTMModels 40 and 40SS to growers, managers, owners and others during the event.
Current research initiatives are centered on providing specific water quality regulatory agencies with toxicity testing reports that will serve to quell any question that may arise regarding the potential of negative impact on the environment (i.e.: estuary) associated with the use of ECA solutions. We are finding that, through the use of test data and technical expertise, we are able to better educate environmental regulators and gain their support and endorsement for certain ECA applications within the storm water treatment arena, the petroleum industry, and with food and beverage safety control agencies. At petroleum industry trade shows, our marketing and sales department personnel was able to produce test results showing potential customers that aliquots of petroleum well “frac” waters that were treated with a 1% EcaFloTM device-generated anolyte solution showed total bacteria kill in less than 10 minutes. Furthering that data, our approach is to point out that these kinds of results eliminate the need for voluminous regulatory compliance paperwork to be submitted, in addition to costing less than the use of traditional biocidal chemicals that are currently put into “frac water.” The petroleum industry market continues to develop as a result of our strategic alliance with Pentagon Technical Services, a small consulting firm with ties into this industry, which has contracted with us as a manufacturer’s representative/sales and distribution agent.
We are continuing our research to identify opportunities where we can provide our innovative technology in value-added services within the food and beverage production and processing industry, medical and healthcare markets, the hospitality industry, as well as in homeland defense applications.
We are working together with Coastal Carolina University and Clemson University to develop a more comprehensive approach to documenting test results that pertain to the use of EcaFloTM in a plethora of applications.
Further research and development efforts will be implemented with our strategic university partners, going concerns within the petroleum and wine industries, and possibly, with nationally accredited research labs. We view research and development as an integral portion of our product development plan and will use the measurable outcomes from research projects as catalysts for market development. The results of this research guide us in determining what to design and build and who will buy “it.”
Essential Oils Division
We are currently working on a strategic plan intended to address the best method for establishing a wholly owned subsidiary company for this division. In order to fully focus on the momentum we have built in the EcaFloTM Division, we believe it prudent to hold the intellectual property contained in the Essential Oils Extraction Division in a separate company whereby our current stockholders will benefit by distributing shares in both technology companies. We are in the early stages of investigating the best structure for this division, and will continue exploring options.
46
The verbal commitment to Clemson University’s Nutraceutical Research Institute (NRI), to join as a “Supporting Member” upon receipt and installation of extraction equipment within our facility, remains intact. In addition to the lab availability at Coastal Carolina University, we have found that Clemson University, a world renowned, agricultural, land-grant university is anxious to associate itself with research that we need to further our goal of introducing an environment-friendly source of pure essential oils into the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. Costs associated with this membership have been analyzed and it remains in the Company’s best interest to join this group at such time as the Essential Oils Extraction Division is structured appropriately.
Expected Purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.
We continue to be involved in negotiations with the Coach House Group, UK, our joint venture partner, who provide us with the Naturol essential oils extraction technology. These discussions are centered on the $84,000 deposit we paid for this extraction equipment to SPDG Naturol - the Coach House Group - in January of 2004. Discussions with Coach House Group continue in anticipation of developing a strategy to move the technology forward in the future.
Significant changes in the number of employees.
We currently employ 9 full time employees, 2 part time employees, and 2 sales representatives. The 9 full time employees are engaged in management, marketing and sales, engineering, production and administrative services; our part time employees are within our production department; and one of the consultants provides technical/scientific support to the EcaFloTM Division of our Company. We continue to anticipate an increase in employees in the next twelve months as we add assembly personnel, shipping and receiving personnel and additional administrative support personnel.
Consultants and Service Contractors
Mr. Allan C. Jackson. On May 18, 2005, we executed a letter agreement with Mr. Jackson for introductory services relative to marketing within the EcaFloTM division. Compensation for services will be 100,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at its average bid closing price ten business days prior to furnishing or formation of any business transaction between and introduced publicly-traded company, with such warrants being exercisable for two years from the date that a business transaction occurs between an introduced company and us. Mr. Jackson has been issued 100,000 warrants at $0.23 per share for an introduction that resulted in a joint marketing agreement between us and Biophage Pharma, Inc.
Dr. Svetlana Panicheva. On August 17, 2004, we entered into a Technical Services Consulting Agreement with Dr. Svetlana Panicheva. Under the terms and conditions of the agreement Dr. Panicheva was the Technical Services Consultant to I.E.T., Inc.’s EcaFloTM Division. We agreed to pay Mrs. Panicheva $2,500 per month and we agreed to pay reasonable costs associated with her visits to our office as necessary (expected 10 days per month) and recently executed a new annual contract with Dr. Panicheva for the period beginning October 1, 2005 and ending on September 30, 2006 for a minimum of 80 hours, or 10 days, of scientific and technical services for $3,000 per month.

On June 22, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with EGR International, Ltd., wherein EGR agreed to provide our Executive Vice President and Vice President of Operations with assistance in marketing our EcaFloTM devices, assistance in establishing a network of interested and qualified clientele, and promotional activities such as advertising, sales and marketing
47
efforts. We agreed to compensate EGR $2,500 per month. The term of the agreement commenced on June 22, 2005 and was originally scheduled to terminate on September 30, 2005. On September 7, 2005, by mutual consent in addendum form, the agreement was extended through October 18, 2005 with no further compensation in order to obtain agreed upon hours of consulting expertise. Subsequently on October 17, 2005, we executed another addendum extending the termination date to October 31, 2005.
CEOcast, Inc. On July 21, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with CEOcast, Inc., wherein CEOcast agreed to provide us with investor relations services. The term of the agreement is for 6 months commencing July 21, 2005. We agreed to compensate CEOcast with $10,000 (paid on July 22, 2005) upon execution of the agreement, 400,000 shares of our common stock with registration rights and $5,000 a month for the term of the agreement. The 400,000 shares of our common stock were issued to CEOcast on August 16, 2005.
Gary Grieco. On August 1, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with Gary J. Grieco, wherein Mr. Grieco agreed to provide us expertise in the matter of stock sales. The term of the agreement commenced on August 1, 2005 and will terminate on July 31, 2006. We agreed to compensate Mr. Grieco $2,500 per month.
Richard P. Maas. On August 12, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Richard P. Maas, wherein Dr. Maas agreed to provide us with technical and scientific information as related to the ECA technology and its use within our EcaFlo™ equipment, as well as certain research and development services and marketing/sales activities. The agreement was executed on August 8, 2005 and will terminate on, or about, the same date in 2006. We agreed to compensate Dr. Maas with IEVM common stock in lieu of cash at the equivalent value of $120/hour of actual service time, with an advanced payment of 50,000 shares of our common stock, which was issued on August 10, 2005. An equivalent amount of Consultant’s hourly rate (83.3 hours) will be “drawn down” from the original issuance as work hours are accrued. On December 27, 2005, we were notified of Dr. Maas’ death. As of October 21, 2005, Dr. Maas had only performed 6.8 work hours. We will continue to use Dr. Maas’ laboratory, therefore, we will allocate the remaining 76.50 work hours to fulfill our contract for a total of 8.3 hours (the equivalent of 50,000 shares of common stock) through lab hours.
Loren W. Moll. On September 14, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Loren W. Moll for intermediary services between us and potential distribution networks for our EcaFlo™ equipment. Compensation for successful intermediary services will be five percent (5%) of gross sales of our products to a distributor, to be paid on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 31, of each calendar year during the term of the agreement. The term commences upon the date of first delivery of product to distributor and shall continue uninterrupted until annual sales of product to distributor reach one million dollars ($1,000,000) and for a term of sixty (60) months thereafter. Due to the fact that the consultant may provide legal work for any given distributor, we waived all potential conflicts of interest related to legal work in connection to any business relationship that may be formed.
Goran Blagojevic. On September 20, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with Goran Blagojevic who is fluent in several European languages and business customs and practices. According to the consulting agreement Mr. Blagojevic agreed to perform simultaneous translation services for us. We agreed to compensate Mr. Blagojevic 150,000 shares of our restricted common stock and series A warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share exercisable anytime before December 31, 2006. The term of the agreement is for 5 months. On September 29, 2005, we executed an addendum to the consulting agreement to extend the term of the agreement an additional 3 months. Pursuant to the addendum we issued an additional 50,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Blagojevic on October 24, 2005.

Joint Marketing Agreement
On September 22, 2005, we entered into a joint marketing agreement with Biophage Pharma, Inc.

We agreed to jointly market each other’s products in the United States of America by sharing information with respect to distribution channels, methods of distribution and any other information which can be disclosed without violating any law or breaching any obligations of confidentiality. We will share between companies, information with respect to sales leads and will provide each other with demonstration units or other models or products. There will be no exchange of money for marketing services or transfer of company stock or warrant to purchase stock as a result of this agreement. The term began on September 22, 2005 and shall end on September 22, 2006.
Representative Agreement
On August 1, 2005, we entered into a representative agreement with Pentagon Technical Services (“PTS”), wherein PTS agreed to assist us as our exclusive representative to promote the sale of and sell our products. PTS’ compensation will be on a sliding scale of 3-7% (5% being the norm) of the net invoice price of our products shipped. The actual percentage will be determined on a case by case basis in consideration of things such as “design-ins”, engineering, tooling, surcharges and “add-ons”, degree of influence made on the sale, repeat orders and the continuation of the monthly draw of $3,500 being paid to PTS by us. The $3,500 draw will be deducted from any monthly commission earned, unless the commission is less than the amount of the draw. A monthly draw or a monthly commission in excess of $3,500 will be paid, but not both. The term of the agreement commenced on August 1, 2005 and will continue until July 31, 2006, at which time the agreement shall be automatically renewed for one year periods thereafter unless terminated by written notice from either party.
Funding Agreement
On July 1, 2005, we were offered a funding agreement for $4,000 from the South Carolina Research Authority (“SCRA”), a South Carolina public nonprofit corporation, as a result of a grant application made to SCRA for assistance in funding work necessary to prepare a written proposal to the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) for a Small Business Innovation Research Phase 1 grant in the amount of $80,000. “SCRA” has executed the funding agreement and IET’s addendum to funding agreement that better secures and protects proprietary and confidential information relative to our company’s EcaFlo™ division. The term of the agreement is from July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the information reported in our financial statements. The preparation of these statements requires us to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and other sources that we believe to be reasonable at the time. Actual results may vary from our estimates due to changes in circumstances, weather, politics, global economics, mechanical problems, general business conditions and other factors. Our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 1 to our financial statements included in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

We have reserved for issuance an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock under our 2002 Stock Option Plan. This plan is intended to encourage directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire ownership of common stock. The opportunity so provided is intended to foster in participants a strong incentive to put forth maximum effort for our continued success and growth, to aid in retaining individuals who put forth such efforts, and to assist in attracting the best available individuals to the Company in the future.

Officers (including officers who are members of the board of directors), directors (other than members of the stock option committee to be established to administer the stock option plan) and other employees and consultants and its subsidiaries (if established) will be eligible to receive options under the stock option plan. The committee will administer the stock option plan and will determine those persons to whom options will be granted, the number of options to be granted, the provisions applicable to each grant and the time periods during which the options may be exercised. No options may be granted more than ten years after the date of the adoption of the stock option plan.
Non-qualified stock options will be granted by the committee with an option price equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock to which the non-qualified stock option relates on the date of grant. The committee may, in its discretion, determine to price the non-qualified option at a different price. In no event may the option price with respect to an incentive stock option granted under the stock option plan be less than the fair market value of such common stock to which the incentive stock option relates on the date the incentive stock option is granted.
Each option granted under the stock option plan will be exercisable for a term of not more than ten years after the date of grant. Certain other restrictions will apply in connection with this plan when some awards may be exercised. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the stock option plan), the date on which all options outstanding under the stock option plan may first be exercised will be accelerated.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. Formerly Naturol Holdings, Ltd. (a development stage company) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period December 31, 2004 and for the period of June 18, 2001 (inception) to December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and for the period June 18, 2001 to December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and had negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in the Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and business
Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (IET), formerly Naturol Holdings Ltd. (NHL), formerly Coronado Explorations Ltd. (CEL), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on February 2, 1999.
On January 17, 2002, CEL completed a reverse triangular merger among Coronado Subsidiary Corp (CSC), a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CEL, and Naturol Inc. (Naturol), a Nevada corporation, whereby CEL issued 10,000,002 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of Naturol’s outstanding common stock, which resulted in the stockholders of Naturol holding approximately 67% of CEL’s common stock. Pursuant to the merger, Naturol merged with CSC wherein CSC ceased to exist and Naturol became a wholly owned subsidiary of CEL. At the time of the merger CEL was a development stage entity with no assets or operating activities. CSC was formed solely to complete the reverse triangular merger, as such CSC had no assets or operations.
Although CEL was the legal acquirer, the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method for business combinations. Accordingly, the combination of the two companies is recorded as a recapitalization of CEL whereby Naturol is treated as the continuing entity. As part of the merger, CEL assumed a note due from CEL to a stockholder of Naturol totaling $26,500. Also 5,000,000 outstanding shares of CEL remained outstanding. The par value of the 5,000,000 CEL shares ($25,000) that remained outstanding, the par value of the excess shares issued in the exchange for Naturol shares ($1,265) and the historical value of the note ($26,500) were offset to paid in capital.
The financial statements presented herein are of Naturol since its inception on June 18, 2001.
CEL’s fiscal period ended on January 31 so the 2002 fiscal year ended on January 31, 2002. CEL changed its name to NHL concurrent with the completion of the merger. NHL changed its year-end to December 31 in 2002. NHL changed its name to IET on April 23, 2004.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, NHL acquired a 49% interest in Naturol (Canada) Limited with the remaining 51% owned by one of its officers (that officer is no longer involved with the Company). The Canadian affiliate had begun operations in November 2001. On December 16, 2002, NHL returned all of its ownership interest in Naturol, (Canada) Limited. During the eleven month period ended December 31, 2002, the Company had expenses totaling approximately $3,875 relating to its investment in Naturol (Canada) Limited.

intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
The Company is currently a development stage enterprise reporting under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards no. 7. The Company’s activities to date have been limited to organizational activities including developing and implementing its business plan, establishing business strategies and formulating a strategy to raise equity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share was computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period and excludes the potentially diluted common shares. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all potential diluted common shares outstanding during a period. There were no potentially diluted common shares outstanding on December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 amount and disclosure of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and certificates of deposit that mature within three months of the date of purchase.
Impairment of Long-lived assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets at each balance sheet date to

determine if any impairment exists. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. The Company measures impairment using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to its cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has not recognized any revenue during its corporate existence but it’s their policy to recognize revenue when products are shipped to customers.
Inventory
Inventory of water purification devices is valued at the lower of cost or market (first-in, first-out) method.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement basis and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the years in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when it is necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the expected realized amounts.
Recent Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which revised SFAS No. 123 and superseded APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that companies recognize compensation expense associated with grants of stock options and other equity instruments to employees in the financial statements. Compensation cost will be measured based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date and will be recognized over the vesting period. This pronouncement applies to all grants after the effective date and to the unvested portion of stock options outstanding as of the effective date. The Company anticipates that the effect of adopting this statement will not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. Certain amounts in the prior year statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentations. The statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.
We changed our name to Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. on April 23, 2004.
We are currently in the development stage and our major business activities to date have been developing and implementing our business plan, establishing business strategies, engineering and building prototype equipment and raising equity.
The financial statements include our wholly owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon attaining profitable operations based on the development of products that can be sold. We intend to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the affects of our cash position, however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.
Note 3 – Notes payable
We borrowed $50,000 from United Capital Group, Inc. on February 1, 2005 with repayment due February 16, 2005. We subsequently repaid $15,000 and the current balance due is $35,000. The note has an interest rate of 6%. On June 16, 2005, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement to extend the maturity to January 16, 2006. As a part of the agreement the note holder has the ability to convert the note into shares of our common stock. At the option of the holder any amounts owed under the promissory note that are not paid in full may be converted into shares of the common stock at the rate of one share for each $.10 of indebtedness converted. At the date the agreement was signed our stock was trading at $0.12
