          which was formed to market a low cost television camera invented
          by Zimmerman and for which he was awarded a United States Patent
          in 1958.  Prior to 1963 he participated in the engineering and

                             FILINGS UNDER SECTION 16(A)

          Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
          Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than
          ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity
          securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership
          of such securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
          Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial
          owners are required by applicable regulation to furnish the
          Company with copies of all section 16(a) forms they file.  The
          Company is not aware of any beneficial owner of more than ten
          percent of its Common Stock.

          Based solely upon a review of the copies of the forms furnished
          to the Company, the Company believes that during the 2000 fiscal
          year all filing requirements applicable to its officers and
          directors were complied with.

                           CHARTER FOR THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
                                          OF
                           ELECTRIC & GAS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

          Organization

          There shall be a committee of the board of directors to be known
          as the audit committee.  The audit committee shall be composed of
          directors who are independent of the management of the
          corporation and are free of any relationship that, in the opinion
          of the board of directors, would interfere with their exercise of
          independent judgment as a committee member.

          Statement of Policy

          The audit committee shall provide assistance to the corporate
          directors in fulfilling their responsibility to the shareholders,
          potential shareholders, and investment community relating to
          corporate accounting, reporting practices of the corporation, and
          quality and integrity of the financial reports of the
          corporation.  In so doing, it is the responsibility of the audit
          committee to maintain free and open means of communication
          between the directors, the independent auditors, and the
          financial management of the corporation.

          Responsibilities

          In carrying out its responsibilities, the audit committee
          believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible, in
          order to best react to changing conditions and to insure to the
          directors and shareholders that the corporate accounting and
          reporting practices of the corporation are in accordance with all
          requirements and are of the highest quality.

          In carrying out these responsibilities, the audit committee will:

          Review and recommend to the directors the independent auditors to
          be selected to audit the financial statements of the corporation
          and its subsidiaries.

          Meet with the independent auditors and financial management of
          the corporation to review the scope of the proposed audit for the
          current year and the audit procedures to be utilized, and at the
          conclusion thereof review such audit, including any comments or
          recommendations of the independent auditors.

          Review with the independent auditors, the company s financial and
          accounting personnel, the adequacy and effectiveness of the
          accounting and financial controls of the corporation, and elicit
          any recommendations for the improvement of such internal controls

                                          11

          procedures or particular areas where new or more detailed
          controls or procedures are desirable.  Particular emphasis should
          be given to the adequacy of such internal controls to exposes any
          payments, transactions, or procedures that might be deemed
          illegal or otherwise improper.  Further, the committee
          periodically should review policy statements to determine their
          adherence to the appropriate behavior.

          Review the financial statements contained in the annual report
          and quarterly reports to shareholders with management and the
          independent auditors to determine that the independent auditors
          are satisfied with the disclosure and content of the financial
          statements to be presented to the shareholders.  Any changes in
          accounting principles should be reviewed.

          Provide sufficient opportunity for the independent auditors to
          meet with the members of the audit committee without members of
          management present.  Among the items to be discussed in these
          meeting are the independent auditors  evaluation of the
          corporation s financial and accounting personnel, and the
          cooperation that the independent auditors received during the
          course of their quarterly reviews and annual audit.

          Review accounting and financial human resources and succession
          planning within the company.

          Submit the minutes of all meetings of the audit committee to, or
          discuss the matters discussed at each committee meeting with, the
          board of directors.

          Investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope
          of its duties, with the power to retain outside legal counsel for
          this purpose if, in its judgment, that it is appropriate.
