ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Hydrogen Power Inc.
Seattle, Washington
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Hydrogen Power Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the six months then ended and for the period from December 17, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Hydrogen Power Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Hydrogen Power Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 17, 2003. The Company began operations in 2004. Under a sub-license agreement, the Company has access to a patented system called "Hydrogen Now." The Hydrogen Now system creates pure hydrogen from the chemistry of aluminum and water. With this technology, the Company plans to market a portable hydrogen generator for the purpose of replenishing hydrogen fuel cells and vehicle fuel stations at a safe and dependable pressure. As the Company has not yet developed any commercial product and has not generated any revenues to date, it is considered to be a development stage company.
Liquidity
As shown in the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has not generated positive cash flows from operations and has incurred significant net losses, resulting in a net accumulated deficit of $2,882,629 at June 30, 2005. Additionally, at June 30, 2005, the Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets.
The Company will need additional working capital to be successful in its development of its single business purpose and to be able to continue to pay its liabilities as they become due. Therefore, continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective. Management is presently engaged in seeking additional working capital.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company fail in any of the above objectives and be unable to operate for the coming year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows. The Company regularly has cash and cash equivalents in excess of federally insured limits. The Company paid $161,896 for interest during the six months ended June 30, 2005, and $162,012 for interest during the period from December 17, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005.
Certificate of Deposit
The certificate of deposit is held with a bank and has a maturity of one year. The certificate of deposit is carried at cost which approximates market value.
Sub-license Agreement
The sub-license agreement is stated at cost and is amortized over the estimated useful life through February 2021 using the straight-line method. Intangible assets are tested at least annually for potential impairment.
Deposit for Shares to be Issued
The deposit for shares to be issued relates to cash received by the Company from an investor prior to a subscription agreement for issuance of shares becoming effective. In July 2005, the Company affected a stock subscription agreement with the investor and issued 50,000 shares of common stock for full consideration of the $50,000 recorded as a deposit at June 30, 2005.
Stock Split
In March 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a 25,000-to-one stock split of the common stock of the Company. In connection with the stock split, the par value of the common stock was changed from $.01 to $.0001. No adjustment has been made to the amount of common stock capitalized as a result of the split. All references in these financial statements to the number of common shares outstanding give affect to the split.
Warrants
At June 30, 2005, there are warrants outstanding to purchase 1,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $1.25 per share through February 2006 and $2 per share after February 2006 through February 2007. The warrants were exercisable on issuance and expire in February 2007. The value attributed to the warrants was insignificant.
Stock-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2005 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for options granted to employees and non-employees based on the fair value of the options at the grant date. Prior to that date, the Company was accounting for stock-based compensation using the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 as permitted under SFAS No. 123.
The issuance of common shares for services would be recorded at the estimated market price of the shares on the date the services are rendered or at the stated value of the services. No shares were issued for services through June 30, 2005.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Sub-license Agreement
In 2004, the Company entered into a sub-license agreement with its parent company, Global Hydrofuel Technologies, Inc. ("GHTI"). The sub-license agreement includes substantially all the rights of the original underlying license agreement between GHTI and the University of British Columbia ("UBC"). The sub-license gives the Company exclusive rights to use the Hydrogen Now technology developed by UBC and any improvements and to market, manufacture and distribute products using the technology in the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. The agreement also gives the Company non-exclusive rights to market and distribute products using the technology and any improvements in Canada and to use any trademarks, service marks, or logos associated with the technology in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central and South America.
The sub-license agreement is effective, with certain provisions for early termination, for as long as the underlying license agreement is in effect. The underlying license agreement is effective through the latest expiration date of the patents that are the subject of the licensed technology. At present, the latest patent expiration date is February 2021. GHTI acquired the license with UBC under a royalty arrangement.
The cost of the rights under the sub-license agreement is stated at the present value of the future minimum payments owed to the parent company under the terms of the agreement amounting to $2,615,200. As described in Note 7 to these financial statements, the Company is expected to be acquired in 2005 by an unrelated third party. The acquiring company has committed to advancing the Company $3,000,000 for purposes of meeting the cash payment obligations under the sub-license agreement and has committed to fulfilling any future obligations under the terms of the underlying license agreement with UBC. The company has received the full $3,000,000 in 2005. The Company believes this contractual commitment establishes the fair value of the sub-license agreement as recorded at the effective date of the agreement.
Management believes the best estimate of the useful life of the sub-license agreement is represented by the life of the underlying patents. Accordingly, the cost of the sub-license agreement is being amortized on the straight-line basis over the remaining term of the patents, or approximately 17 years. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $155,000 for 2006 through 2010. At June 30, 2005, management has determined that there is no impairment of the sub-license rights that should be recorded against the carrying amount of the asset.
Note 3. Stock-based Compensation
During 2005, 1,550,000 stock purchase options were granted to certain employees (650,000 options) and non-employees (900,000 options; 800,000 of which were granted to directors of the company) during the six months ended June 30, 2005 (and since inception), and remained outstanding at that date. The options were granted at an exercise price of $.50 per share, the estimated fair value of the stock at the grant date. Subsequent to the granting of the options, management came to the belief that the options may or may not be exercised to purchase shares of the Company because of the pending acquisition of the Company (see Note 7). Management expects the acquiring company will elect to exchange the existing options for options in the shares of the acquiring company or repurchase the options for cash prior to the closing of the acquisition. Given these expectations, management's best estimate of the fair value of the options is $1.00 per option as of the date of the grants.
As of June 30, 2005, the accompanying financial statements include compensation expense related to employee and non-employee options of $1,550,000, which amount has been recorded in general and administrative expenses for the six months and cumulative period ended June 30, 2005.
Note 4. Due to Parent Company
The amount due to the parent company relates to amounts owed under the sub-license agreement with GHTI. Payments under the terms of the agreement are non-interest bearing. The obligation was originally stated at its net present value of $2,615,200 using an effective interest rate of 6%. Minimum payments required under the sub-license agreement are as follows for the years ending June 30:
2006 | | $ | 716,242 | |
2007 | | | 666,667 | |
2008 | | | 666,667 | |
| | | 2,049,576 | |
Less amount representing interest as imputed | | | (223,509 | ) |
Amount due to parent company, June 30, 2005 | | $ | 1,826,067 | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized $68,188 of interest expense with respect to this obligation. For the period from December 17, 2003 (date of inception) to June 30, 2005, the Company recognized $192,388 of interest expense with respect to this obligation.
Note 5. Related Party Transactions
In January 2005, the Company entered into a debt assignment and conversion agreement whereby the loan payable to a former director of GHTI in the amount of $550,000 was assigned to the Company in exchange for a reduction of the amount owed to the parent company. The debt was then converted into 1,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company in full satisfaction of the debt assumed. This former director of GHTI is also the father of an officer of the Company.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a debt assignment and conversion agreement whereby a loan payable to a third party of GHTI in the amount of $11,000 was assigned to the Company in exchange for a reduction of the amount owed to the parent company. The debt was then converted into 11,000 shares of common stock of the Company in full satisfaction of the debt assumed.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a debt assignment and conversion agreement whereby the loan payable to third parties of GHTI, of which one party is a director of the Company, in the amount of $179,000 was assigned to the Company in exchange for a reduction of the amount owed to the parent company. The debt was then converted into 179,000 shares of common stock of the Company in full satisfaction of the debt assumed.
In 2005, the Company paid $37,500 to a shareholder of the Company (who is also the father of an officer of the Company) for fees related to his attracting equity investors to the Company.
Note 6. Income Taxes
The Company is liable for income taxes in the United States. As of June 30, 2005, the Company did not have any income for income tax purposes and therefore, no tax liability or expense has been recorded in these financial statements. The difference between the tax at the statutory federal tax rate and the tax provision of zero recorded by the Company is primarily due to the Company's full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
At June 30, 2005, the Company has accumulated tax losses of approximately $2,900,000 available to reduce future taxable income. The tax losses expire in 2024 and 2025.
The deferred tax asset associated with the accumulated tax losses is approximately $985,000 at June 30, 2005. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance increased by $720,000 for 2005.
Note 7. Subsequent Event
In September 2005, an agreement in principle was reached for an independent third party company to acquire 100% ownership of the Company from its stockholders. The purchase is expected to be completed by the end of 2005.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Hydrogen Power Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 17, 2003. The Company began operations in 2004. Under a sub-license agreement, the Company has access to a patented system called "Hydrogen Now." The Hydrogen Now system creates pure hydrogen from the chemistry of aluminum and water. With this technology, the Company plans to market a portable hydrogen generator for the purpose of replenishing hydrogen fuel cells and vehicle fuel stations at a safe and dependable pressure. As the Company has not yet developed any commercial product and has not generated any revenues to date, it is considered to be a development stage company.
Liquidity
As shown in the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has not generated positive cash flows from operations and has incurred significant net losses, resulting in a net accumulated deficit of $766,998 at December 31, 2004. Additionally, at December 31, 2004, the Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets.
The Company will need additional working capital to be successful in its development of its single business purpose and to be able to continue to pay its liabilities as they become due. Therefore, continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective. Management is presently engaged in seeking additional working capital. (See Note 5. Subsequent Events)
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company fail in any of the above objectives and become unable to operate for the coming year.
Cash
Cash consists of checking accounts held at two financial institutions. The Company has amounts in excess of federally insured limits from time to time. The Company has paid no material amounts for interest since inception.
Sub-license Agreement
The sub-license agreement is stated at cost and is amortized over the estimated useful life through February 2021 using the straight-line method. Intangible assets are tested at least annually for potential impairment.
Loans Payable
Loans payable are all due to a third-party and are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
Stock Split
In March 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a 25,000-to-one stock split of the common stock of the Company. In connection with the stock split, the par value of the common stock was changed from $.01 to $.0001. No adjustment has been made to the amount of common stock capitalized as a result of the split. All references in these financial statements to the number of common shares outstanding give affect to the split.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options issued to its employees under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense related to employee stock options is recorded only if, on the date of grant, the fair value of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. The Company adopted the disclosure-only requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 for transactions with employees and provide pro forma net income disclosures as if the Company had recognized compensation expense based on the fair value of the options at the grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss with respect to options because no options have been granted to employees.
The Company accounts for stock options to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and related pronouncements. Compensation for stock options and warrants to purchase stock granted to non-employees is measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model at the date of grant multiplied by the number of options or warrants granted. The issuance of common shares for services is recorded at the estimated market price of the shares on the date the services are rendered or at the stated value of the services. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net loss with respect to options or warrants because no options or warrants have been granted to non-employees.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Sub-license Agreement
In 2004, the Company entered into a sub-license agreement with its parent company, Global Hydrofuel Technologies, Inc. ("GHTI"). The sub-license agreement includes substantially all the rights of the original underlying license agreement between GHTI and the University of British Columbia ("UBC"). The sub-license gives the Company exclusive rights to use the Hydrogen Now technology developed by UBC and any improvements and to market, manufacture and distribute products using the technology in the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. The agreement also gives the Company non-exclusive rights to market and distribute products using the technology and any improvements in Canada and to use any trademarks, service marks, or logos associated with the technology in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central and South America.
The sub-license agreement is effective, with certain provisions for early termination, for as long as the underlying license agreement is in effect. The underlying license agreement is effective through the latest expiration date of the patents that are the subject of the licensed technology. At present, the latest patent expiration date is February 2021. GHTI acquired the license with UBC under a royalty arrangement.
The cost of the rights under the sub-license agreement is stated at the present value of the future minimum payments owed to the parent company under the terms of the agreement amounting to $2,615,200. As described in Note 5 to these financial statements, the Company is expected to be acquired in 2005 by an unrelated third party. The acquiring company has committed to advancing the Company $3,000,000 for purposes of meeting the cash payment obligations under the sub-license agreement and has committed to fulfilling any future obligations under the terms of the underlying license agreement with UBC. Subsequent to June 30, 2005, the Company received the full $3,000,000. The Company believes this contractual commitment establishes the fair value of the sub-license agreement as recorded at the effective date of the agreement.
Management believes the best estimate of the useful life of the sub-license agreement is represented by the life of the underlying patents. Accordingly, the cost of the sub-license agreement is being amortized on the straight-line basis over the remaining term of the patents, or approximately 17 years. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $155,000 for each of the years 2005 through 2009. At December 31, 2004, management has determined that there is no impairment in the sub-license rights that should be recorded against the carrying amount of the asset.
Note 3. Due to Parent Company
The amount due to the parent company, relates to amounts owed under the sub-license agreement with GHTI. Payments under the terms of the agreement are non-interest bearing. The obligation has been stated at its net present value of $2,615,200 using an effective interest rate of 6%. Minimum payments required under the sub-license agreement are as follows for the years ending December 31:
2005 | | $ | 1,000,000 | |
2006 | | | 666,667 | |
2007 | | | 666,667 | |
2008 | | | 666,667 | |
| | | 3,000,001 | |
Less amount representing interest, as imputed | | | (384,801 | ) |
Amount due to parent company, December 31, 2004 | | $ | 2,615,200 | |
As of December 31, 2004, interest expense of $124,200 was accrued with respect to this obligation.
Note 4. Income Taxes
The Company is liable for taxes in the United States. As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not have any income for income tax purposes and therefore, no tax liability or expense has been recorded in these financial statements. The difference between the tax at the statutory federal tax rate and the tax provision of zero recorded by the Company is primarily due to the Company's full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 2004, the Company has accumulated tax losses of approximately $779,000 available to reduce future taxable income. The tax losses expire in 2024.
The deferred tax asset associated with the accumulated tax losses is approximately $265,000. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance increased by $265,000 for 2004.
Note 5. Subsequent Events
In January 2005, the Company entered into a debt assignment and conversion agreement whereby the loan payable to a former director of GHTI in the amount of $550,000 was assigned to the Company and then converted into 1,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company in full satisfaction of the debt assumed.
In February 2005, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement whereby the loans payable to a third party totalling $1,000,000 were converted into 1,600,000 million shares of common stock of the Company and 1,600,000 share purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company for a two year term ending February 2007 at a price of $1.25 per share during the first year of the term of the warrants and at a price of $2.00 per share during the second year of the term of the warrants.
In March 2005, the Company granted a total of 1,525,000 stock options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company to certain directors, officers, key employees, and advisors of the Company. The exercise price of each stock option is $0.50 per option to acquire one share of common stock of the Company. The stock options expire March 1, 2008. Twenty-five percent of the options vest one year from the date of grant or on March 1, 2006, and an additional 1/48th for each month of continuous service completed thereafter. The Company has not yet determined the amount of any compensation expense that may be recorded as a result of issuing these options to non-employees.
In April and July 2005, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $400,000.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a debt assignment and conversion agreement whereby the loan payable to a third party of GHTI in the amount of $11,000 was assigned to the Company and then converted into 11,000 shares of common stock of the Company in full satisfaction of the debt assumed.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a debt assignment and conversion agreement whereby the loans payable to third parties of GHTI, of which one party is a director of the Company, in the amount of $179,000 was assigned to the Company and then converted into 179,000 shares of common stock of the Company in full satisfaction of the debt assumed.
In September 2005, an agreement in principle was reached for an independent third party company to acquire 100% ownership of the Company from its stockholders. The purchase is expected to be completed by the end of 2005.
