Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position as of September 30, 1999, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, and 1998. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For more complete financial information, these financial statements, and the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998, included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The recovery of amounts invested in the Company's principal assets, the LFC Process and OCET Process assets, are dependent upon the Company's ability to adequately fund its on-going development operations including capital contributions to its new joint venture LFC Technologies, LLC ("LFC Tech") with MLFC Corporation ("MLFC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation. Furthermore, the ability to successfully bring both the LFC Process and OCET Process technologies to commercialization will ultimately depend on the Company's ability to attract sufficient additional equity, debt or other third-party financing. Success in commercialization of the LFC Process and OCET Process is dependent in large part upon the ability to enter into satisfactory arrangements with other partners, financiers or customers and upon the ability of these third parties to perform their responsibilities. The resources required to profitably develop, construct and operate an LFC plant are likely to include hundreds of millions of dollars, and expertise in major plant development and operations. There can be no assurance that any licenses, joint venture agreements or other arrangements will be available on acceptable terms, if at all; that any revenue will be derived from such arrangements; or that, if revenue is generated, any of said arrangements will be profitable to the Company. If the Company is unsuccessful in its attempts to license the LFC Process or OCET Process, or if such third parties are unsuccessful in profitably developing and operating LFC plants, the planned business and operations of the Company will likely not succeed and the Company would not be able to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets related to either the LFC Process or OCET Process. The Company had negative working capital of $2.4 million and an accumulated deficit of $60.4 million at September 30, 1999. These factors and the Company's recurring losses from continuing operations, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking additional financing through the private sales of its equity and debt securities to fund working capital requirements. The Company is also seeking additional funding through the acquisition, financing, sale and operations of the ENCOAL demonstration plant and through additional strategic partnerships, joint ventures or similar collaborative or other arrangements with larger well capitalized companies, under which such companies would provide additional capital to the Company in exchange for exclusive or non-exclusive licenses or other rights to certain technologies and products the Company is developing. There can be no assurance that any 7 collaborative financing arrangements through a joint venture, and/or with strategic partners, will be available when needed, or on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to curtail or terminate one or more of its operating activities. The Company is engaged in continuing negotiations to secure additional capital and financing, and while management believes funds can be raised, there is no assurance that their efforts will be successful. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. (2) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS The principal businesses of the Company are developing, commercializing, and licensing new energy technologies; and manufacturing automated assembly equipment. The Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries at September 30, 1999: Assembly & Manufacturing Systems, Inc. ("AMS"); OCET Corporation ("OCET"); and U.S. Clean Coal Refineries, Inc. ("USCCR") which is currently inoperative. AMS designs, manufactures and installs automated assembly equipment, and was acquired in October 1995. OCET was organized in February 1995 to research and develop the Opti-Crude Enhancement Technology, a process for further refining residual oil bottoms. USCCR was organized in October 1994, to market clean coal refinery project development programs. (3) FINANCING TRANSACTIONS On August 18, 1999 the Company as provided in a related consulting agreement, granted one warrant to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 common shares, to one consultant for financial consulting services. The warrants were issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. In connection therewith, the Company obtained investment representations and recorded compensation expense of approximately $5,400. The exercise price was not lower than the closing bid price on the grant date and expires on December 31, 2002. The warrant is exercisable one year from the date of grant at $0.1375 per share. On August 20, 1999, the Company, as provided in a related service agreement, granted one warrant to one employee to purchase an aggregate of 5,000 common shares. The warrant was issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. Investment representations were obtained. The exercise price was not lower than the closing bid price on the grant date and the warrant expires on December 31, 2003. The warrant is exercisable one year from the grant date at $0.136 per share. During the three month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company by agreement modified the due dates on $750,000 of notes payable plus associated interest, due September 27, 1999, to be payable upon demand, which had not been made as of September 30, 1999. During the three month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company raised approximately $339,000 through the issuance of 3,666,602 restricted common shares to fourteen accredited investors and two officers/directors of the Company (Also See Note 8). In addition, the Company granted purchasers of these restricted securities piggy-back registration rights. These securities were issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. Investment representations were obtained and legends were placed on the certificates. Partially, in connection therewith the Company issued an aggregate of 65,446 shares of restricted common stock to one individual, Mr. B. Leichtling, as compensation for placement agent services. (4) NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For purposes of computing the net loss available to common stockholders, preferred stock dividends and accretion of mandatorily redeemable 8 preferred stock are deducted from the net loss. Preferred stock dividends include "imputed dividends" for preferred stock issued with a non-detachable beneficial conversion feature near the date of issuance. Imputed dividends represent the aggregate difference between conversion price and the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of issuance of the preferred stock, without regard to the actual date on which the preferred stock may be converted. Shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock, convertible debentures and upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants are not included since the effects would be anti-dilutive.

The Company and MLFC entered into a LFC Joint Venture Formation Agreement, Operating Agreement, License Agreement, Services Agreement and Security Agreement with the purpose of further developing the LFC Process and licensing its use in proposed LFC Process plants. The Operating Agreement, as amended effective January 14, 1999, between MLFC and the Company, governs the management of the new joint venture company, LFC Tech. The purpose of LFC Tech is to conduct research and development activities with respect to the LFC Process and other approved business. The Amended and Restated Services Agreement between MLFC, LFC Tech and the Company provides that the Company will provide certain services to LFC Tech including soliciting potential customers in the U.S., developing LFC projects in the U.S. and performing related engineering work. Accordingly, the Company's portion of the quarterly loss on investment in LFC Investee has been eliminated against service revenues, as if the joint venture were consolidated. Subsequent to September 30, 1999 the Company and MLFC entered into a series of agreements modifying the above mentioned agreements. See note 10 for additional information. (8) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On September 30, 1999, the Company issued an aggregate of 225,226 shares of restricted common stock to two officers/directors of the Company in return for $20,000 in cash. In addition, the Company granted purchasers of these restricted securities piggy-back registration rights. On that date, the bid price of the Company's unrestricted common stock was $0.129 per share. These securities were issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. Investment representations were obtained and legends were placed on the certificates. (9) PENDING ASSET ACQUISITION As previously reported, on April 22, 1999, the Company executed an agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with Bluegrass Coal Development Company ("Bluegrass") and Americoal Development Company ("Americoal"), both wholly owned subsidiaries of AEI Resources ("AEI") to purchase Bluegrass' fifty percent interest in the Liquids From Coal ("LFC") Process; the ENCOAL Corporation, which owns the ENCOAL LFC demonstration plant; certain existing permits necessary to build a commercial sized LFC plant near Gillette, Wyoming; and all other tangible and intangible LFC assets (collectively, the "ENCOAL Acquisition"). The closing of the acquisition is conditioned upon, among other things, the financing of certain improvements to the ENCOAL plant, currently estimated at $10 million, the completion of both fuel supply and product sale agreements, the assumption or waiver of certain bond obligations, the waiver of the $1.13 million invoice due Mitsubishi Heavy Industries by Bluegrass and certain other conditions specified in the agreement. The Company is currently working towards meeting the pre-closing conditions specified in the Acquisition Agreement. Prior to September 19, 1999, the parties realized that certain of the pre-closing conditions could not be accomplished within the originally projected time frame. Consequently, the parties are working to resolve these pre-conditions which remain outstanding, including but not limited to, the financing of certain improvements, the fuel supply agreement, product sale agreements for CDL and the assumption or waiver of certain bond obligations. While the Company believes it will complete, resolve or waive these pre-conditions prior to the new targeted closing date of November 29, 1999, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be completed or that having been completed that the ENCOAL plant will operate. 11 (10) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 28, 1999, the Company and MLFC amended the terms of their current business relationship, by executing certain amendments (the "Restructuring") to the various joint venture agreements that they had previously entered into on January 14, 1999. (All payments where noted below are net of the Company's own matching contribution required under the LFC Tech joint venture agreement.) In accordance with the Restructuring: (a) LFC Tech accelerated the net payment of $375,000, payable to the Company, which was acknowledged in the restructured Amended Services Agreement, thereby ending any further obligation for payments under this contract through the year 2000, (b) the Company transfered its present 50% interest in the LFC Process Patents to LFC Tech upon closing of the Restructuring, (c) the Company is to transfer the remaining 50% interest in the LFC Process Patents to LFC Tech upon completion of the ENCOAL Acquisition, (d) Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shall execute a Waiver and Release of the $1.13 million invoice due it from Bluegrass, which is intended to be used by the Company as partial payment if the ENCOAL acquisition is completed, (e) MHI shall forgive the Company the payment of the $1.13 million invoice upon the closing of the ENCOAL Acquisition, (f) LFC Tech shall pay the Company an additional $750,000 net, payable in two tranches, with the first net payment of $375,00 made upon closing of the Restructuring and the second net payment of $375,000 due upon the closing of the ENCOAL Acquisition, (g) MLFC, subject to and upon the occurrence of certain milestones (more fully discussed in Note 13 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's December 31, 1998, 10-K.) already contained in the joint venture agreements and subject to both parties obtaining Board of Director approvals, in lieu of the $4.0 million payment previously specified in the agreement, shall make a payment of $3,625,000 to the Company if the ENCOAL Acquisition does not occur and a payment of $3,250,000 if the ENCOAL Acquisition does occur, (h) LFC Tech Operating Agreement was extended through the year 2008, and (i) an agreement to assist with engineering and CDL upgrading work. Other minor changes were made to the Amended Services Agreement to account for the early payments, the License Agreement to account for the transfer of the LFC Process Patents to LFC Tech, the termination of the Security Agreement to reflect the fact that it was no longer necessary, and the Amended Operating Agreement of LFC Tech to reflect the terms of the Restructuring. Effective as of October 30, 1999, the Company was able to extend or exchange approximately $4.2 million in existing debt for new securities of the Company including new convertible debt securities, amended warrants and preferred stock (the "99D Exchange Offering"). The Company retired approximately $3.45 million in existing 12% convertible debentures which were required to be paid prior to October 31, 1999, in exchange for new 12% convertible debentures (the "99D Debentures"), in the same amount, due September 30, 2001. The 99D Debentures may be prepaid by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time prior to September 30, 2001. Interest on the debentures is payable quarterly in cash. The debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company, at the option of the holder, subsequent to November 15, 1999, in whole or in part, at the greater of: (i) the average of the ten day closing bid price of the Company's common stock prior to the date the notice of conversion is received by the Company or (ii) $1.00 per share. In conjunction with the issuance of the 99D Debentures the Company amended existing warrants set to expire on December 31, 1999, with an exercise price of $1.20 per share to now expire on December 31, 2001, with a new exercise price of $0.30 per share. The number of shares of common stock underlying the amended warrants aggregate approximately 328,000 shares. In addition, the Company also agreed to grant shares of Series 99D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "99D Preferred") convertible with no further payment into approximately 154,000 shares of common stock. The 99D Preferred shares are convertible at the option of the holder, any time after November 15, 1999, but only if the ten business day average closing bid price of the Company's common stock is $0.75 per share or greater at the time of conversion. The 99D Preferred stock has no voting rights, dividend rights or preference in liquidation and if not previously converted, will automatically convert into common stock on October 30, 2001. As part of the 99D Exchange Offering the Company also obtained an extension to September 30, 2001, of approximately $724,000, including interest, in existing 10%, 11% and 12% interest bearing notes which were required to be paid by October 30, 1999. In connection therewith, the Company agreed to grant shares of Series 99D Preferred stock convertible into an aggregate of approximately 46,000 shares of common stock and to amended exisiting warrants set to expire on December 31, 1999 with an exercise price of $1.20 per share to now expire on December 31, 2001 with a new exercise price of $0.30 per share. The number of shares of common stock underlying the amended warrants aggregate approximately 141,000 shares. 12 Interest on the notes payable will continue to be made in cash on a quarterly basis. The 99D Exchange Offering was made only to existing debt holders pursuant to the exemptions provided by Sections 3(a)(9) and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. No registration rights were granted on any of the securities issued under the 99D Exchange Offering. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTORY NOTE This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains statements relative to (i) projections, (ii) estimates, (iii) future research plans and expenditures, (iv) potential collaborative arrangements, (v) opinions of management and (vi) the need for and availability of additional financing which may be considered "forward looking statements." The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions regarding the Company's business and technology, which involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future scientific, economic and competitive conditions, and future business decisions, as well as risk factors detailed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reports including this Form 10-QSB, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated will be realized and actual results may differ materially. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this report and in the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect the Company's business. Therefore, historical results and percentage relationships will not necessarily be indicative of the operating results of any future period. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Loss per Common Share. Basic net loss per common share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, decreased approximately $0.06 per share and $0.30 per share, respectively, over the same prior year periods. The decrease in basic net loss per share for both the three and nine month periods is principally attributable to an increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and a decrease in imputed dividends, as the net loss for both the three and nine month periods remained essentially the same as the prior year. Sales and Gross Margin. Sales and cost of sales are primarily attributable to Assembly and Manufacturing Systems, Inc. (AMS) and are recorded using the percentage of completion method. Sales and cost of sales at AMS for the three months ended September 30, 1999, remained substantially unchanged, over the same prior year period with sales to the medical and high-tech sectors meeting or slightly exceeding prior year levels. Sales to the automotive sector for the three month period ended September 30, 1999 equaled approximately 57% of prior year levels Sales and cost of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, decreased 45% and 39%, respectively, over the same prior year period. This decline in sales for the nine month period primarily occurred in the first and second quarters of the year as a result of decreased sales in all three sectors in which 13 AMS does business. The Company believes that the decline in sales is primarily the result of a general slowdown in demand for automated assembly equipment. Sales to the high-tech sector (electronics and communications industries), which has historically represented the Company's largest sector, continues to lag behind prior year levels. Even with the third quarters recovery, sales to this sector are expected to remain below prior year levels throughout the rest of the year and until such time as the electronics industry recovers from the effects of the Asian financial downturn. Sales to the automotive sector for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 were significantly lower than prior year levels. The Company believes this decrease in sales to the automotive sector is due to a delay in orders from two of its larger customers. The Company anticipates that sales to this sector will continue to be lower than 1998's levels. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, AMS' sales to the medical sector showed signs of reviving based on increased bidding activity and sales which essentially equaled prior year sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 the Company experienced a decrease in sales to its medical sector, over the same prior year period. The Company believes that the decrease is primarily the result of the merger of several of its customers, which resulted in orders being delayed for the first and second quarter of the year. The Company believes that sales to this sector for the year, will meet or exceed prior year levels. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, remained essentially the same compared to the same prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, was 16% compared to 24% over the same prior year period . The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to the reduced business volume as previously described. The decrease in revenues experienced by the Company's automated assembly business segment for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 were partially offset by revenues derived from the Company's Services Agreement with LFC Tech, it's joint venture with MLFC. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, the Company received net revenues of $375,000 and $750,000, respectively. The parties agreed to the acceleration of the payments due under the services agreement in part due to the significant amount of work performed by the Company in evaluating CDL chemical constituents and their corresponding markets. As a result of the acceleration of payments no additional revenues are anticipated from the Services Agreement through the year 2000. Other Income. Other income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, increased primarily due to the settlement of a lawsuit the Company had pending in Superior Court. Loss on Investment in LFC Investees. The Company's share of the losses for its LFC joint ventures (TEK-KOL and LFC Tech) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, decreased 100% over the same prior year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to the termination of the TEK-KOL Partnership and the partners of LFC Tech agreeing to perform certain services for the joint venture at their own expense, without pass through to the partnership. Engineering, Research and Consulting Expenses. Engineering, research and development expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, increased 61% and 60%, respectively, over the same prior year periods. The increase for both the three and nine month periods is essentially attributable to an increase in expenses related to the development of the LFC Process technology, as the expenses for the development of the OCET Process technology remained essentially the same over the same prior year periods. The increase in expenses for the LFC Process technology are primarily related to engineering studies designed to reduce the cost of the first commercial plant and in evaluating the chemical constituents of CDL, with the goal of maximizing the commercial value of this product. 14 Selling General and Administrative Expenses. Selling general and administrative expense for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, increased 32% over the same prior year period. The increase is principally related to the Company's opening of a marketing office in Denver, Colorado, an engineering office with associated personnel in Gillette Wyoming and an increase in administrative personnel at the corporate offices. Selling, general and administrative expenses for AMS, for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, increased approximately $30,000 or 16% as a result of a general increase in sales and marketing expenses. Selling general and administrative expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, increased 15% over the same prior year period. The increase is principally related to the Company's opening of a marketing office in Denver, Colorado, an engineering office with associated personnel in Gillette Wyoming and an increase in administrative personnel at the corporate offices. Selling, general and administrative expenses for AMS, for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, remained substantially unchanged over the same prior year period. Legal and Accounting Expenses. Legal and accounting expenses for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, decreased 8%, respectively over the same prior year periods. The decrease in expenses for both the three and nine month periods is related primarily to a reduction in legal and accounting expenses incurred in preparing and filing the Company's Form S-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1998. Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, increased 6% and 27%, respectively over the same prior year periods. The increase for both periods is due primarily to purchases and construction of equipment at the Company's OCET laboratory which were initially placed in service in the third quarter of 1998. In addition, the Company incurred a non-recurring charge of approximately $80,000 in the first quarter of this year related to the write-off of start-up costs pertaining to its Australian LFC project. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, increased approximately 18% over the same prior year period. The increase for the three month period is principally due to the interest associated with an $800,000 increase in short term notes payable, primarily issued in the first quarter of 1999. Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, decreased 21% over the same prior year period. The decrease for nine month period is principally due to approximately $188,033 of imputed interest expense, associated with the issuance of warrants to certain debt holders in 1998, which did not continue after September 30, 1998. This decrease was partially offset by the interest associated with an $800,000 increase in short term notes payable, primarily issued in the first quarter of 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 1999, the Company had assets totaling $4.2 million, including restricted cash of $0.4 million, and a working capital deficiency of $2.4 million. The Company anticipates continued operating losses over the next twelve months and has both short-term and long-term liquidity deficiencies as of September 30, 1999. Current notes payable, convertible debentures, and associated accrued interest aggregating approximately $4.2 million required to be paid prior to October 30, 1999, were satisfied subsequent to September 30, 1999, through the Company's 99D Exchange Offering. This exchange offering extended the due date of these liabilities to September 30, 2001, in exchange for primarily convertible debt and equity securities. (see Note 10 to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements). In addition, the Company by agreement modified the due dates on $750,000 of notes payable 15 plus associated interest due September 27, 1999, to be payable upon demand, which had not been made as of September 30, 1999. Other short-term liquidity requirements are expected to be satisfied from existing cash balances, proceeds from the sale of future equity securities, debt securities, the restructuring of the joint venture with MLFC (see Note 10 to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements) or other collaborative arrangements. Negotiations are on-going for the public and private placement of equity securities, the proceeds of which are intended to be used to satisfy the short- term liquidity deficiency. In the event that the Company is unable to finance operations at the current level, various administrative activities would be curtailed and certain research and development efforts would be reduced. The Company will not be able to sustain operations if it is unsuccessful in securing sufficient financing and/or generating revenues from operations. The Company had long-term liquidity deficiencies as of September 30, 1999. Over the long-term, the Company will require substantial additional funds to maintain and expand its research and development activities and ultimately to commercialize, with or without the assistance of corporate partners, any of its proposed technologies. Although there are no commitments, the Company believes the long-term liquidity deficiency should be satisfied through a combination of increased positive cash flows from operations, future equity sales, and research or other collaborative agreements, or until such time, if ever, as the commercialization of the LFC and OCET Processes result in positive cash flows. The Company is seeking additional funds through the acquisition, financing, sale and operations of the ENCOAL demonstration plant and through collaborative or other arrangements with larger well capitalized companies, under which such companies would provide additional capital to the Company in exchange for exclusive or non-exclusive licenses or other rights to certain technologies and products the Company is developing. Although the Company is presently engaged in discussions with a number of suitable candidate companies, there can be no assurance that an agreement or agreements will arise from these discussions in a timely manner, or at all, or that revenues that may be generated thereby will offset operating expenses sufficiently to reduce the Company's short-term or long-term funding requirements. Cash used in operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, decreased 37% over the same period in 1998, principally as a result of an increase in payables and the deferral of certain salaries and related benefits. The use of funds from operating activities is essentially attributable to the Company's net loss of approximately $4.0 million, for both the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, and 1998. These losses were incurred primarily as a result of the Company's automated assembly operations and technology development activities. The Company's investing activities amounted to a use of funds of approximately $132,000 and $843,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively. This represents an 84% decrease in investing activities over 1998. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company's reduced investment in the now terminated TEK-KOL partnership and reduced expenditures for OCET's Process Development Unit which was substantially completed in the third quarter of 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company's investing activities consisted primarily of the acquisition of LFC Process equipment. Management presently estimates that the Company may be required to contribute approximately $250,000 in 1999 for past operations and dissolution related expenditures, in the event that the acquisition of AEI's assets does not close (see Note 9 to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements). In addition, the Company, as of January 14, 1999, has entered into a joint venture with MLFC a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation. (see Notes 8 and 10 of the notes to condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.) In accordance with the Amended Services Agreement between the Company and LFC Tech, the Company has received approximately $750,000 of net revenues under this agreement in 1999. This agreement was amended subsequent to September 30, 1999 and the Company will not be receiving any additional funds pursuant thereto through the year 2000, except as more fully described in Note 10 to the condensed unaudited financial statements. The Company is projecting capital expenditures for equipment at OCET to remain below prior year levels as the need for substantial capital improvements has ended after completion of the OCET Process Development Unit and 16 lab improvements. AMS' capital expenditures are expected to remain relatively consistent with prior years. On April 22, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to conditionally acquire the ENCOAL Corporation and LFC demonstration plant, among other assets, from subsidiaries of AEI (see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statement.). Assuming completion of the acquisition, for which there is no assurance, the Company will have assumed various obligations in excess of $3.5 million and obtained assets which it believes are of equal or greater value. In addition, after acquisition operating expenses associated with maintaining the LFC demonstration plant in idle condition are estimated at approximately $350,000 annually. The Company intends to make improvements and obtain project financing estimated at $10 million assuming completion of the asset acquisition. Other than the previously described acquisition, the Company does not have material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 1999. The amount of funds used for investing activities in a given period are directly related to development requirements and funds availability. The Company's financing activities raised approximately $1.8 million (see Note 3 to the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements) for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, versus $3.2 million for the same prior year period. These funds were raised primarily through the private placement of debt and equity securities. The amount of money raised during a given period is dependent upon financial market conditions, technological progress and the Company's projected funding requirements. The Company anticipates that future financing activities will be influenced by the aforementioned factors. As noted previously, significant future financing activities will be required to fund future operating and investing activities and to maintain debt service. While the Company is engaged in continuing negotiations to secure additional capital and financing, there is no assurance such funding will be available or if received will be adequate. YEAR 2000 Year 2000 Issue. The Company is preparing for the impact of the arrival of the Year 2000 on its business, as well as on the businesses of its customers, suppliers and business partners. The "Year 2000 Issue" is a term used to describe the problems created by systems that are unable to accurately interpret dates after December 31, 1999. These problems are derived predominantly from the fact that many software programs have historically categorized the "year" in a two-digit format. The Year 2000 Issue creates potential risks for the Company, including potential problems in the Company's products as well as in the Information Technology ("IT") and non-IT systems that the Company uses in its business operations. The Company may also be exposed to risks from third parties with whom the Company interacts who fail to adequately address their own Year 2000 Issues. The Company's State of Readiness - The Company believes it has taken the necessary steps, including contingency planning, to be prepared for the arrival of the Year 2000. The Company does not anticipate any material adverse financial impacts to its business from the "Year 2000 Issue". However, while the Company's Year 2000 efforts have included a limited evaluation of its business partners, the Company cannot provide a representation on behalf of these third parties. The Costs to Address the Company's Year 2000 Issues - The Company has assessed the impact on its computer systems of the Year 2000 issue. The financial impact of making the required systems changes are not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the costs of the project are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions. Year 2000 Issue costs incurred through September 30, 1999, have been charged to operations and have not been material. The Risks of the Company's Year 2000 Issues - There can be no assurance that the Company will be completely successful in its efforts to address Year 2000 Issues. If some of the Company's systems are not Year 2000 compliant, the Company could suffer a disruption of operations or other negative consequences, 17 including, but not limited to, diversion of resources, damage to the Company's reputation and increased litigation, any of which could materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations or financial position. The Company is also dependent on third parties such as its customers, suppliers, service providers and other business partners. If these or other third parties with whom the Company conducts business fail to adequately address Year 2000 Issues, the Company could experience a negative impact on its results of operations and financial position. For example, the failure of carriers, power generators and/or telecommunications companies to have Year 2000 compliant internal systems could impact the Company's operations. The Company's Contingency Plans - The Company will continue to refine contingency plans to address situations that may result if the Company or any of the third parties upon which the Company is dependent is unable to achieve Year 2000 readiness. This effort is ongoing and will continue to be evaluated as the Company's situation changes or as new information becomes available. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK [NONE] PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. As of September 30, 1999 the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES On August 18, 1999 the Company as provided in a related consulting agreement, granted one warrant to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 common shares, to one consultant for financial consulting services. The warrants were issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. In connection therewith, the Company obtained investment representations and recorded compensation expense of approximately $5,400. The exercise price was not lower than the closing bid price on the grant date and expires on December 31, 2002. The warrant is exercisable one year from the date of grant at $0.1375 per share. On August 20, 1999, the Company, as provided in a related service agreement, granted one warrant to one employee to purchase an aggregate of 5,000 common shares. The warrant was issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. Investment representations were obtained. The exercise price was not lower than the closing bid price on the grant date and the warrant expires on December 31, 2003. The warrant is exercisable one year from the grant date at $0.136 per share. During the three month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company by agreement modified the due dates on $750,000 of notes payable plus associated interest, due September 27, 1999, to be payable upon demand, which had not been made as of September 30, 1999. During the three month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company raised approximately $339,000 through the issuance of 3,666,602 restricted common shares to fourteen accredited investors and two officers/directors of the Company. In addition, the Company granted purchasers of these restricted securities piggy-back registration rights. These securities were issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. Investment representations were obtained and legends were placed on the certificates. Partially, in connection therewith the Company issued an aggregate of 65,446 shares of restricted common stock to one individual, Mr. B. Leichtling, as compensation for placement agent services.

OTHER INFORMATION On October 28, 1999, the Company and MLFC amended the terms of their current business relationship, by executing certain amendments (the "Restructuring") to the various joint venture agreements that they had previously entered into on January 14, 1999. (All payments where noted below are net of the Company's own matching contribution required under the LFC Tech joint venture agreement.) In accordance with the Restructuring: (a) LFC Tech accelerated the net payment of $375,000, payable to the Company, which was acknowledged in the restructured Amended Services Agreement, thereby ending any further obligation for payments under this contract through the year 2000, (b) the Company transfered its present 50% interest in the LFC Process Patents to LFC Tech upon closing of the Restructuring, (c) the Company is to transfer the remaining 50% interest in the LFC Process Patents to LFC Tech upon completion of the ENCOAL Acquisition, (d) Mitsubishi Heavy Industries shall execute a Waiver and Release of the $1.13 million invoice due it from Bluegrass, which is intended to be used by the Company as partial payment if the ENCOAL acquisition is completed, (e) MHI shall forgive the Company the payment of the $1.13 million invoice upon the closing of the ENCOAL Acquisition, (f) LFC Tech shall pay the Company an additional $750,000 net, payable in two tranches, with the first net payment of $375,00 made upon closing of the Restructuring and the second net payment of $375,000 due upon the closing of the ENCOAL Acquisition, (g) MLFC, subject to and upon the occurrence of certain milestones (more fully discussed in Note 13 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's December 31, 1998, 10-K.) already contained in the joint venture agreements and subject to both parties obtaining Board of Director approvals, in lieu of the $4.0 million payment previously specified in the agreement, shall make a payment of $3,625,000 to the Company if the ENCOAL Acquisition does not occur and a payment of $3,250,000 if the ENCOAL Acquisition does occur, (h) LFC Tech Operating Agreement was extended through the year 2008, and (i) an agreement to assist with engineering and CDL upgrading work. Other minor changes were made to the Amended Services Agreement to account for the early payments, the License Agreement to account for the transfer of the LFC Process Patents to LFC Tech, the termination of the Security Agreement to reflect the fact that it was no longer necessary, and the Amended Operating Agreement of LFC Tech to reflect the terms of the Restructuring. 19 Effective as of October 30, 1999, the Company was able to extend or exchange approximately $4.2 million in existing debt for new securities of the Company including new convertible debt securities, amended warrants and preferred stock (the "99D Exchange Offering"). The Company retired approximately $3.45 million in existing 12% convertible debentures which were required to be paid prior to October 31, 1999, in exchange for new 12% convertible debentures (the "99D Debentures"), in the same amount, due September 30, 2001. The 99D Debentures may be prepaid by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time prior to September 30, 2001. Interest on the debentures is payable quarterly in cash. The debentures are convertible into common stock of the Company, at the option of the holder, subsequent to November 15, 1999, in whole or in part, at the greater of: (i) the average of the ten day closing bid price of the Company's common stock prior to the date the notice of conversion is received by the Company or (ii) $1.00 per share. In conjunction with the issuance of the 99D Debentures the Company amended existing warrants set to expire on December 31, 1999, with an exercise price of $1.20 per share to now expire on December 31, 2001, with a new exercise price of $0.30 per share. The number of shares of common stock underlying the amended warrants aggregate approximately 328,000 shares. In addition, the Company also agreed to grant shares of Series 99D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "99D Preferred") convertible with no further payment into approximately 154,000 shares of common stock. The 99D Preferred shares are convertible at the option of the holder, any time after November 15, 1999, but only if the ten business day average closing bid price of the Company's common stock is $0.75 per share or greater at the time of conversion. The 99D Preferred stock has no voting rights, dividend rights or preference in liquidation and if not previously converted, will automatically convert into common stock on October 30, 2001. As part of the 99D Exchange Offering the Company also obtained an extension to September 30, 2001, of approximately $724,000, including interest, in existing 10%, 11% and 12% interest bearing notes which were required to be paid by October 30, 1999. In connection therewith, the Company agreed to grant shares of Series 99D Preferred stock convertible into an aggregate of approximately 46,000 shares of common stock and to amended exisiting warrants set to expire on December 31, 1999 with an exercise price of $1.20 per share to now expire on December 31, 2001 with a new exercise price of $0.30 per share. The number of shares of common stock underlying the amended warrants aggregate approximately 141,000 shares. Interest on the notes payable will continue to be made in cash on a quarterly basis. The 99D Exchange Offering was made only to existing debt holders pursuant to the exemptions provided by Sections 3(a)(9) and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. No registration rights were granted on any of the securities issued under the 99D Exchange Offering. ITEM 6.
