MARCH 31, 2005 AND 2004

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Turbodyne Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (the
"Company") engineer, develop and market products designed to enhance
performance and reduce emissions of internal combustion engines. The Company
had a period of activity during 2004 and early 2005. Lack of funds caused the
Company to gradually curtail its operations until it ceased almost all
activities. In March 2005 the Company moved out of the business premises and
relinquished the majority of the fixed assets to the landlord to sell and
offset against rent payable.
The Company had no current business operations, place of business and no
employees when in September 2005, new management took control with the
purpose of attempting to resurrect the Company's business and seek financing
for such purpose. The Company entered a merger agreement in September 2005
that resulted in new management, which is examining alternatives for
financing, and fulfilling its working capital needs based on its working
capital projections.
If the Company is unable to raise equity capital or generate revenue to meet
its working capital needs, it may have to cease operating and seek relief
under appropriate statutes. These consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on the basis that the Company will be able to continue as a going
concern and realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities and commitments in
the normal course of business and do not reflect any adjustment which would
be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US
dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading.
These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for
fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that
these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003 included in the Company's 10-KSB Annual Report. The Company follows the
same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. Results of
operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
suffered net operating losses in recent periods, has an accumulated deficit
of $128,163,081 at March 31, 2005 and a total capital deficit of $9,085,994
at March 31, 2005. It has used most of its available cash in its operating
activities in recent years, has a significant working capital deficiency and
is subject to lawsuits brought against it by other parties. These matters
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, stated in United States
dollars, include the accounts of Turbodyne Technologies, Inc. and its wholly
owned subsidiaries, Turbodyne Systems, Inc., Turbodyne Germany Ltd., and
Electronic Boosting Systems Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated on consolidation.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
Machinery and equipment - 7 to 15 years
Transportation equipment - 5 years
Furniture and fixtures - 5 to 10 years
- length of lease, not to exceed
Leasehold improvements economic lifelength of lease, not
to exceed
LICENSES
Licenses were recorded at cost and were being amortized at $208,000 per year
over their estimated useful life, which was estimated to be five years. At
December 31, 2003, management determined that the licenses had been impaired
and a $624,000 impairment provision was recorded.
VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for
indications of impairment in value and recognizes impairment of long-lived
assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows attributable to such assets. Long-lived assets
to be disposed of by sale are to be measured at the lower of carrying amount
or fair value less cost of sale whether reported in continuing operations or
in discontinued operations. No impairment was required to be recognized
during 2005 and 2004.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
RECOGNITION OF REVENUE
License fee revenue is recognized over the term of the license agreement.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, $400,000 in license fees were
deferred and are being amortized over 18 years. As a result, for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005 $5,556 ($5,556 - 2004) of licensing fees was recognized
as income.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by
dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could
share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent
shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would
be anti-dilutive.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of the Company's cash, term debts, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities and loans payable approximate their carrying values because of
the short-term maturities of these instruments.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to January 1, 2005, the Company accounted for employee stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method supplemented by pro forma
disclosures in accordance with APB 25 and SFAS 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), as amended by SFAS No.148 "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosures." Under the
intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the
quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over
the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Under the intrinsic
value method, the Company has recognized stock-based compensation common
stock on the date of grant.
Effective January 1, 2005 the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified
prospective approach and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to
reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based awards granted
prior to its adoption will be expensed over the remaining portion of their
vesting period. These awards will be expensed under the accelerated
amortization method using the same fair value measurements which were used in
calculating pro forma stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123. For
stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2005, the Company will
amortize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period, which is generally a five-year vesting period.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - CONTINUED
SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and
revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ
from initial estimates. Stock-based compensation expense was recorded net of
estimated forfeitures for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 such that expense
was recorded only for those stock-based awards that are expected to vest.
Previously under APB 25 to the extent awards were forfeited prior to vesting,
the corresponding previously recognized expense was reversed in the period of
forfeiture.
If the fair value based method under FAS 123 had been applied in measuring
stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the
pro forma on net income and net income per share would have been as follows,
as previously disclosed:

-------------
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs related to present and future products are
charged to operations in the year incurred. The sale of prototypes is offset
against research and development costs.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 differ from those estimates.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes, which recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the years
in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS
No. 130 establishes standards to measure all changes in equity that result
from transactions and other economic events other than transactions with
owners. Comprehensive income is the total of net earnings (loss) and all
other non-owner changes in equity. Except for net earnings (loss) and foreign
currency translation adjustments, the Company does not have any transactions
and other economic events that qualify as comprehensive income as defined
under SFAS No. 130. As foreign currency translation adjustments were
immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements, net earnings
(loss) approximated comprehensive income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005
and 2004.
LEGAL FEES
The Company expenses legal fees in connection with litigation as incurred.

2. SHARE CAPITAL
Transactions not disclosed elsewhere in these consolidated interim nancial
statements are as follows:
a) Authorized Capital
At the Annual General Meeting held on June 30, 2004, the shareholders
approved an increase of authorized capital to 1,000,000,000 common shares.
Prior to this increase in authorized capital, the Company's potentially
diluted common shares exceeded the authorized shares. Immediately prior to
the increase in authorized capital, the Company had recorded $2,134,322 in
accrued liabilities to account for the potential cash settlement of these
financial instruments. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has reversed the
$2,134,322 accrued liabilities since the potentially diluted common shares
do not exceed authorized capital.
b) In 2003, 150,000 of the 1 million preferred shares were designated as
Series X preferred shares. These shares have a par value of $0.001 per
share with each share being convertible into 100 common shares at the
discretion of the holder. As of March 31, 2005 45,175 of Series X
preferred shares convertible into 4,517,500 common shares are outstanding
c) During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company issued 8,807,400
shares of common stock, 8,107,400 for exercise of options and 700,000 for
conversion of 7,000 preferred shares.

d) Stock Options - Continued
As of March 31, 2005, there was no unrecognized compensation costs since
all options granted under the stock option plans were completely vested.
Also, the options outstanding did not have an intrinsic value since the

2. SHARE CAPITAL - CONTINUED
d) Stock Options - Continued
GRANT OF STOCK OPTIONS TO NON-EMPLOYEES FOR SERVICES The Company has
recorded $40,810 of compensation expense relating to stock options issued
to non-employees for services rendered during the period.
The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted for the
three-months ended March 31, 2005 of $0.01, $0.02 and $0.04, on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions in 2005: expected dividend yield Nil;
expected volatility of 141%, 159% and 163%; risk-free interest rate of
2.89 and 3.75%, and expected life of 1 year and 5 years.
GRANT OF STOCK OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES FOR SERVICES
Prior to January 1, 2005, the Company accounted for employee stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method supplemented by pro forma
disclosures in accordance with APB 25 and SFAS 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), as amended by SFAS No.148
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosures."
Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is measured as the
excess of, if any, of the market price of the Company's common stock at
the date of grant, or at any subsequent measurement date, over the amount
an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Such amounts are amortized as
compensation expense over the vesting period of the related stock options.
Under the intrinsic value method, the Company was not required to
recognize stock-based compensation. Effective January 1, 2005 the Company
adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective approach and accordingly
prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123R.
Under SFAS 123R, stock-based awards granted prior to its adoption will be
expensed over the remaining portion of their vesting period. These awards
will be expensed under the accelerated amortization method using the same
fair value measurements which were used in calculating pro forma
stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123. For stock-based awards
granted on or after January 1, 2005, the Company will amortize stock-based
compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period, which is generally a five-year vesting period.
Upon our adoption of SFAS(R), we recorded $63,197 of compensation costs
relating to stock options granted to employees. The amounts recorded
represent equity-based compensation expense related to options that were
issued in January 2005. The compensation costs are based on the fair value
at the grant date. There was no such expense recorded during our fiscal
year 2004.

2. SHARE CAPITAL - CONTINUED
d) Stock Options - Continued
The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted to
employees during 2005 was $0.02, calculated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions in 2005: expected dividend yield Nil%; expected volatility
from 163%; risk-free interest rate from 3.75%; and an expected life of 5
years. Effective from the date of the option repricing, the Company
regularly remeasures compensation expense for the options where there has
been a substantive change and modification to such options. No
compensation expense was recorded as a result of repricing of options in
the prior years.
e) Stock Purchase Warrants
At March 31, 2005, the Company had 11,446,563 stock purchase warrants
outstanding. These warrants were issued in connection with private
placements and other means of financing.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT
During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company entered into a loan
agreement collateralized by an automobile for an aggregate of $36,035. The
loan bears interest at 6.64%, paid monthly; the last payment of $707 is due
August 4, 2009.
Subsequent to March 31, 2005 the Company was unable to make the payments so
the bank repossessed the automobile and sold it at auction. The Company
currently owes $17,428 which is the difference between the note payable and
the sales price and is included in accounts payable.
During 2004, the Company returned an asset that was not in use as a
settlement of outstanding note payable and recorded a gain on the debt
settlement of $43,360.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is party to various legal claims and lawsuits that have arisen in
the normal course of business. Except for the settlement of the dispute with
Honeywell as described in Note 4 (c), there have been no material changes in
the status of these matters since the issuance of the most recent audited
annual financial statements.
LITIGATION
a) TST, INC.
In March 2000, TST, Inc. ("TST"), a vendor to a subsidiary of Pacific Baja
(Note 4(b)) filed an action against the Company alleging that in order to
induce TST to extend credit to a subsidiary of Pacific Baja, the Company
executed guarantees in favor of TST. TST alleged that the subsidiary
defaulted on the credit facility and that the Company is liable as
guarantor.
The Company and TST entered a settlement agreement and release. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company:
i) Issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the president of TST and
agreed to register the resale of these shares by filing a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission; valued at
$350,000 based on the common share trading price at the date the
agreement was entered into;
ii) Issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to TST; valued at $700,000
based on the common share trading price at the date the agreement was
entered into; ----

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - LITIGATION CONTINUED
a) TST, Inc. - Continued
iii) Agreed to the immediate entry of judgment against the Company in the
amount of $2,068,078 plus interest from the date of entry at the rate
of 10% per annum. The amount of this judgment would immediately
increase by any amount that TST is compelled by judgment or court
order or settlement to return as a preferential transfer in connection
with the bankruptcy proceedings of Pacific Baja; and
iv) Any proceeds received by TST or its president from the sale of the
issued shares will be automatically applied as a credit against the
amount of the judgment against the Company in favor of TST. Prior to
March 31, 2004, 147,000 shares issued in connection with the TST
settlement had been sold which have reduced the provision for lawsuit
settlement by $23,345.
At March 31, 2005, the Company has included $4,832,572 (December 31, 2004
- $4,766,656) in regard to this matter in provision for lawsuit
settlements. If it is determined that TST received payment in preference
to other creditors before Pacific Baja filed its Chapter 11 petition in
bankruptcy, TST will likely increase its claim by $2,130,000, which is
included in the provision for lawsuit settlements.
b) Pacific Baja Bankruptcy
In July 1999, a major creditor of the Company's wholly-owned major
subsidiary, Pacific Baja, began collection activities against Pacific Baja
which threatened Pacific Baja's banking relationship with, and source of
financing from, Wells Fargo Bank. As a result, Pacific Baja and its
subsidiaries commenced Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on September 30,
1999.
In September 2001, the Pacific Baja Liquidating Trust (the "Trust")
commenced action against us in the aforesaid Bankruptcy Court. The Trust
was established under the Pacific Baja bankruptcy proceedings for the
benefit of the unsecured creditors of Pacific Baja.
The Company vigorously contested the Complaint until April 22, 2005 when
the Company entered into a stipulation for entry of judgment and
assignment in the Pacific Baja bankruptcy proceedings for $500,000 to be
issued in common stock or cash or a combination. Additionally the Company
assigned to the bankruptcy Trust the rights to $9,500,000 claims under any
applicable directors and officers liability insurance policies. The
bankruptcy Trust also agreed to a covenant not to execute against the
Company regardless of the outcome of the insurance claims.
The Company has completed the assignment of its insurance claims, but has
not completed the cash/stock payment that was to be paid to the Trust by
December 9, 2005. We are negotiating with the Trustee regarding this
default.

c) Honeywell International, Inc.
We entered into the Settlement Agreement with Honeywell effective January
23, 2004. The Settlement Agreement resolved disputes between us and
Honeywell that were the subject of arbitration proceedings initiated by
Honeywell in June 2001 (the "Arbitration") and federal litigation
commenced by us against Honeywell in August 2001 (the "Federal
Litigation"). Honeywell agreed to pay us the aggregate amount of
$8,500,000 in full settlement of our claims against Honeywell subject to
$2,125,000 of contingency legal fees, $60,000 of legal costs, and $911,030
owed to certain of our creditors and lienholders. The Directors also
elected to pay the following amounts directly from settlement proceeds:
$633,070 owed to note holders and $1,290,000 in bonuses to officers and
employees. We received $3,480,900 ($4,770,900 less $1,290,000) which is
the full settlement amount less legal fees, creditor liens, note payments
and settlement bonuses. The Settlement Agreement also includes mutual
releases of our Company and Honeywell in favor of the other and certain
indemnification agreements. No payments were required to be made by us to
Honeywell pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.
d) Former Officer
On May 20, 2004, one of the Company's former officers, Mr. Peter Hofbauer,
filed a motion against the Company alleging that the Company failed to pay
him the sum of $369,266 pursuant to the terms of a purported settlement
agreement, allegedly made for the purposes of settling amounts owed to the
former officer for services to the Company. On August 3, 2004 a writ of
attachment was applied to the Company's Certificate of Deposit for
$315,000. On October 25, 2004 the former officer and the Company signed
and filed with the court a Stipulation re: Settlement and Order. The
stipulation ordered the Company to deliver 4,000,000 shares of common
stock without restrictions to be used by the former officer to raise funds
to settle amounts owed to him by the Company. As funds are raised to
settle amounts owed, writs will be reversed from the Certificate of
Deposit. If the funds raised are not adequate to settle amounts owed, the
Company will be obligated to issue further shares to the former officer in
order to settle amounts owed.
During 2004 the Company issued the 4,000,000 shares. Mr. Hofbauer has sold
2,600,000 shares and released $125,000 of the Certificate of Deposit.
Subsequent to March 31, 2005 Mr. Hofbauer claimed the remaining $210,496
in the Certificate of Deposit. The remaining 1,400,000 shares are to be
returned to the Company.

e) Former Director
A former director of Turbodyne, Erwin Kramer (the "Plaintiff"),
represented by his attorney Claus Schmidt, a former attorney of Turbodyne
at the time of the alleged claim, filed a legal action in Germany against
Turbodyne, our non-operating subsidiary Turbodyne Europe GmbH ("Turbodyne
GmbH"), and ex-employees of Turbodyne GmbH, Peter Kitzinski and Marcus
Kumbrick (collectively the "Defendants"), with the Regional Frankfurt
court (the "German Court") in September, 2004. The Plaintiff claims
damages of Euro 245,620 plus 5% interest per annum against the Defendants
in respect of actions taken by the Defendants while employed with
Turbodyne GmbH. On September 9, 2004, the German Court, on a motion by the
Defendants to the suit, dismissed the Plaintiff's claims against Peter
Kitzinski and Marcus Kumbrick, and ordered that Turbodyne's patents in
Munich be attached pending the resolution of the Plaintiff's claim against
Turbodyne and Turbodyne GmbH. On June 13, 2005 the Court in Frankfurt
dismissed the claim. The Plaintiff filed an appeal against this judgment
with the Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt.
The Plaintiff's attorney, Claus Schmidt, also filed similar suits on
behalf of Frank Walter and Herbert Taeuber. The German courts are
indicating that all three suits need to be filed in the United States not
Germany. Presently the suits have not been filed in the United States. We
vigorously dispute this claim and have retained German counsel to defend
it and seek its dismissal. At March 31, 2005, the Company has included
$405,785 in regard to this matter in the provision for lawsuit
settlements.
f) Other
The Company is currently involved in various collection claims and other
legal actions. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of
the legal actions.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
New management took control pursuant to a merger completed as of September 9,
2005 pursuant to which a majority owned subsidiary of Aspatuck Holdings Ltd.
("Aspatuck") was merged into our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary. Prior
to the merger, this subsidiary of Aspatuck entered into a consulting
agreement ("Consulting Agreement") with Stamford Research, LLC that is
obligated to provide the services of Mr. Albert Case to the Company. Upon
completion of the merger, 139,192,222 shares of the Company's Common Stock
were issuable to holders of the subsidiary of Aspatuck and 1,300,000 such
shares became issuable to Stamford Research LLC, under the Consulting
Agreement. At this time Mr. Albert Case became president and chief executive
officer and Mr. Jason Meyers, principal shareholder of Aspatuck, became
Chairman of the Board of Directors. Additional shares are issuable to the
former shareholders of the Aspatuck subsidiary in the event the Company
issues any securities related directly or indirectly to pre-merger events.

OVERVIEW
As discussed below, we suspended our business operations in April 2005 due to a
lack of funds. We are an engineering Company and have been engaged, for over ten
years, in the design and development of forced-air induction (air-charging)
technologies that improve the performance of gas and diesel internal combustion
engines. Optimum performance of an internal combustion engine requires a proper
ratio of fuel to air. Power available from the engine is reduced when a portion
of the fuel is not used. In a wide range of gas and diesel engines additional
air is needed to achieve an optimal result. The traditional engineered solution
for this problem is to use belts or exhaust gas (superchargers or turbochargers)
to supply additional air to an engine. Turbodyne, instead, uses electric motors
to supply additional air. Because an electric motor can be engaged more quickly,
compared to the mechanical delays inherent in a belt or exhaust gas device,
Turbodyne's products reduce this `turbolag' and otherwise adds to the
effectiveness of gas and diesel engines used in automotive, heavy vehicle,
marine, and other internal combustion installations. If we obtain financing we
intend to continue the development of our products.
RECENT AND POST QUARTER CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS
While we were in operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, these
operations were limited by a lack of funds, which ultimately led to the
suspension of our business. Set forth below are recent corporate developments:
1. We became unable to sustain our business operations due to a lack of
financing and our working capital deficit. In April 2005 we had to
lay off our employees and vacated our premises and relinquished the
majority of the fixed assets to the landlord to sell and offset
against rent payable. The suspension of business also included the
suspension of work on the development of our products and
technologies.
2. On June 7, 2005 the Company's remaining cash was claimed in
connection with a litigation settlement and prior attachment.
Our plan of operations in April 2005 was to obtain the necessary financing to
resume our business operations. In addition to the financing for our operations
and development of our products we intend to use financing to:
1. settle all legal proceedings that are currently against us, as
disclosed in Item 3 of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our objective is to remove the
uncertainty and potential liabilities associated with these legal
proceedings. There is no assurance that we will be successful;
2. negotiate our outstanding accounts payable and accrued liabilities
with our creditors. If we are unable to obtain financing we may need
to seek relief under the appropriate statutes.

SUBSEQUENT CHANGE OF CONTROL AND NEW EFFORTS
On September 9, 2005 a majority owned subsidiary of Aspatuck Holdings Ltd.
("Aspatuck") was merged into our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary pursuant
to an AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the "Agreement"). Prior to the merger, this
subsidiary of Aspatuck entered into a consulting agreement ("CONSULTING
AGREEMENT") with Stamford Research LLC, which is obligated to provide the
services of Albert Case to the Company. Upon completion of the merger,
139,192,222 shares of the Company's Common Stock were issuable to holders of the
subsidiary of Aspatuck and 1,300,000 such shares became issuable to Stamford
Research LLC, under the Consulting Agreement. At this time Mr. Albert Case
became President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Jason Meyers, principal
shareholder of Aspatuck, became Chairman of the Board of Directors. Additional
shares are issuable to the former shareholders of the Aspatuck subsidiary when
the Company issues any securities related directly or indirectly to pre-merger
events.
The new management has obtained some additional financing and has resumed
limited business activity including:
o Updating our financial statements and required SEC filings
o Assessment of our technology including patents and other rights
o Limited development of our Turbopac(TM) product line
o Review and negotiate to settle outstanding litigation and
liabilities.
o Formulating business and marketing plans
There is no assurance we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to
implement full scale operations.

We had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to net
income for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This occurred primarily
because we recorded a one time recovery related to the Honeywell settlement in
the amount of $6,375,000 under Other Income for the three months ended March 31,
2004 but had no significant Other Income in the comparable quarter of 2005. Our
continued net losses from operations reflect our continued operating expenses
and our inability to generate revenues.

2004. Honeywell agreed to pay us the aggregate amount of $8,500,000 in full
settlement of our claims against Honeywell subject to $2,125,000 of contingency
legal fees.
COSTS OF SALES
Because we had no sales in 2004 and 2005, we did not have any costs of sales

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative costs included expenses associated with our
Carpinteria, California office, management compensation, administrative staff
and overhead. Selling expenses were minimal and reflected the fact that none of
our products are being commercially sold at present.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Our research and development costs related to present and future products are
charged to operations in the period incurred. Our research and development
activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005 are associated with the
development of our Turbopac product.
LITIGATION EXPENSE
We had litigation expenses of $257,081 during the three months ended March 31,
2005. The most significant component of our litigation expense was the accrual
of a potential liability for the termination of an employment contract.
We included in litigation expense items paid from the Honeywell settlement for
the three months ended March 31, 2004. Honeywell agreed to pay us the aggregate
amount of $8,500,000 in full settlement of our claims against Honeywell subject
to $2,125,000 of contingency legal fees, $60,000 of legal costs, and $1,290,000
in bonuses to officers and employees. Our litigation expenses are attributable
to our involvement in several ongoing legal proceedings. Litigation expenses
during the balance of 2005 are anticipated to consist primarily of legal
expenses relating to the proceedings involving our former subsidiary, Pacific
Baja.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Stock based compensation included in expenses was $104,007 for the three months
ended March 31, 2005. We did not rely on stock based compensation during the
three month period ended March 31, 2004.
The method by which we account for stock based compensation is discussed below
under "Critical Accounting Policies".

Working Capital Deficit ($8,978,400) ($8,628,625) 4%
=================== ===================== =======================
We had cash of $4,284 as of March 31, 2005 compared with cash of $1,615 as of
December 31, 2004. The increase to our working capital deficit was primarily
attributable to a decrease in cash and an increase in accounts payable and
provision for lawsuit settlements as discussed below.

Provision for Lawsuit
Settlements $6,264,992 $6,013,198 4%

Accrued Liabilities $250,935 $285,935 (12%)
Short-Term Loans $148,600 $148,600 Nil
Long-Term Debt $32,421 $33,514 (3%)
================== ====================== =======================
Our accounts payable and accrued liabilities remain substantial due to our
inability to generate revenues and our limited ability to raise capital to fund
our operations. Payment of these liabilities is contingent on new funding being
received that would enable us to make payments to the creditors. Our ability to
continue our operations is also conditional upon the forbearance of our
creditors.
Short-term loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing advances that we anticipate
will be converted into shares of our common stock and share purchase warrants.
These loans have not been converted to date.

CASH FLOWS

Three Months Ended March 31

Net Cash provided by (used in)
Operating Activities ($136,638) $2,176,004
Net Cash used in Investing
Activities Nil ($901)
Net Cash provided by (used in)
Financing Activities $139,307 ($508,100)
Net Increase in Cash During Period $2,669 $1,667,003
=====================================
The decrease in cash used in operating activities was due to the 2004 use of the
Honeywell settlement proceeds to decrease liabilities for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 and the fact that we had almost no cash to use in 2005.
CASH USED IN FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The increase in cash from financing activities is due to the exercise of options
in 2005 and the loan payments in 2004.
FINANCING REQUIREMENTS
We will require further financing if we are to resume our business operations.
We anticipate that any future financing will be achieved by sales of additional
shares of our common stock or other equity securities. These sales will result
in significant dilution to our current stockholders. In the event that we are
unable to raise additional financing on acceptable terms, then we may not be
able to resume our business operations.
We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses until such time as the
revenues we are able to generate from sales or licensing our products exceed our
increased operating expenses. We base this, in part, on the fact that we will
incur substantial expenses as we resume and increase business activity. We do
not believe we will generate offsetting revenues for some period of time after
resuming full scale development. Moreover, there is no assurance that we will
generate revenues that exceed these expenses.
GOING CONCERN
We currently have minimal cash and working capital resources. We do not have
adequate financial resources to enable us to resume or continue our business
operations without additional financing. Our current sources of working capital
are not sufficient for us to resume business operations. We may not be able to
obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. Accordingly, there
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
-8-
Our consolidated interim financial statements included with this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a
going concern. We have suffered net losses in recent periods resulting in an
accumulated deficit of $128,163,081 at March 31, 2005. We have used cash in our
operating activities in recent periods, have disposed of our most significant
subsidiary through bankruptcy, and are subject to lawsuits brought against us by
shareholders and other parties. Based on our projected cash flows for the
ensuing year, we will be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing
in order to continue our present operations, irrespective of the amounts paid or
to be paid, if any, in connection with the aforementioned lawsuits.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As
such, some accounting policies have a significant impact on the amount reported
in these financial statements. A summary of those significant accounting
policies can be found in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our
consolidated audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the SEC on July 7,
2006. Note that our preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB requires
us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will
not differ from those estimates. We believe our most critical accounting
policies include stock-based compensation and legal contingencies as explained
below.
SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
Our audited consolidated financial statements included with this Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going
concern. We have suffered net losses in recent periods resulting in an
accumulated deficit of $128,163,081 at March 31, 2005, have used cash in our
operating activities in recent periods, have disposed of our most significant
subsidiary through bankruptcy, are subject to lawsuits brought against us by
shareholders and other parties, and based on our projected cash flows for the
ensuing year, we are required to seek additional equity or debt financing in
order to resume operations, irrespective of the amounts paid or to be paid, if
any, in connection with the aforementioned lawsuits.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to January 1, 2005, the Company accounted for employee stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method supplemented by pro forma
disclosures in accordance with APB 25 and SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), as amended by SFAS No.148 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosures." Under the intrinsic value
based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market
price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an
employee must pay to acquire the stock. Under the intrinsic value method, the
Company has recognized stock-based compensation common stock on the date of
grant.
-9-
Effective January 1, 2005 the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified
prospective approach and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to
reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. Under SFAS 123R, stock-based awards granted
prior to its adoption will be expensed over the remaining portion of their
vesting period. These awards will be expensed under the accelerated amortization
method using the same fair value measurements which were used in calculating pro
forma stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123. For stock-based awards
granted on or after January 1, 2005, the Company will amortize stock-based
compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period,
which is generally a five-year vesting period.
SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised,
if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial
estimates. Stock-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated
forfeitures for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 such that expense was recorded
only for those stock-based awards that are expected to vest. Previously under
APB 25 to the extent awards were forfeited prior to vesting, the corresponding
previously recognized expense was reversed in the period of forfeiture.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Prior to the suspension of our operations, we recognized revenue upon shipment
of product. Since the re-commencement of operations, we recognize license and
royalty fees over the term of the license or royalty agreement. The proceeds
from the sale of prototypes are recognized, upon shipment of the prototype, as a
reduction of the research and development expense.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs related to present and future products are
charged to operations in the year incurred. The proceeds from the sale of
prototypes are recognized, upon shipment of the prototype, as a reduction of the
research and development expense.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets an
amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges
of nonmonetary assets. It eliminates the exception from fair value measurement
for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB
Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, and replaces it with an
exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. This Statement
specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future
cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the
exchange. SFAS 153 is effective for monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is considering the provisions
of SFAS No. 153 and its effect on nonmonetary exchanges in the future.
-10-
In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,
a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 applies
to all voluntary accounting principle changes as well as the accounting for and
reporting of such changes. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
SFAS 154 requires voluntary changes in accounting principle be retrospectively
applied to financial statements from previous periods unless such application is
impracticable. Changes in depreciation, amortization, or depletion for
long-lived, non-financial assets are accounted for as a change in accounting
estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle, under the newly
issued standard.
SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS 3. SFAS 154 carries forward many
provisions of Opinion 20 and SFAS 3 without change including those provisions
related to reporting a change in accounting estimate, a change in reporting
entity, correction of an error and reporting accounting changes in interim
financial statements. The FASB decided to completely replace Opinion 20 and SFAS
3 rather than amending them in keeping to the goal of simplifying U.S. GAAP. The
provisions of SFAS No. 154 are not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operation. The
provisions of SFAS No. 154 are not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operation.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(A) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
its Chief Financial Officer reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15(e)).These controls are designed to ensure that material
information the Company must disclose in its reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on
a timely basis. These officers have concluded, based on that evaluation,
that as of such date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
were effective at a reasonable assurance level for a Company with
substantially no activities and no personnel. The Company believes it must
devise new procedures as it increases its activity and its personnel. . As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer reviewed and evaluated
the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)), The term "internal
control over financial reporting" is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal
financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believed
that for the limited operations of the Company internal controls over
financial reporting were adequate to provide reasonable assurance at
yearend. Nevertheless these controls indicated substantial weakness that
must be rectified if the Company increased operations, including a lack of
segregation of duties.
During our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005, the officers determined
that there were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
