Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
September 30, 1999
1. Going Concern
Ionic Fuel Technology, Inc. ("Company") has incurred recurring operating
losses, and its operations have not produced positive cash flow. As such,
this condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
During the past year, the principal use of the Company's cash has been to
fund its operating losses. The Company has been utilizing approximately
$100,000 per month to fund operations. The Company is presently attempting
to raise additional capital to fund operations. If additional capital is
not secured within the next few weeks, it will be necessary to
substantially curtail or cease operations.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three month period ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30,
2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
From 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999.
3. Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
4. Inventory
Inventory is comprised of the following:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998
Total revenues decreased to approximately $124,000 during the three month
period ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $136,000 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1998.
The decrease of approximately $12,000 in revenues related to a decrease in
sales revenues.
Gross profit increased to a loss of approximately $(72,000) during the
three months ended September 30, 1999 (loss of $82,000 in 1998) due to a
decrease in service department and manufacturing costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $182,000
during the three month period ended September 30, 1999 from approximately
$196,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1998.
The decrease of approximately $14,000 in general and administrative
expenses related to a decrease in vehicles and travel expenses and the
elimination of amortization of patent costs written off at June 30, 1999.
Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $10,000 during
the three months ended September 30, 1999 due to the completion of new product
development.
Other expense (net) increased to approximately $(10,000) during the three
months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately $(4,000) of net expense
during the same period in 1998, due to a decrease in interest income.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Net cash used by operations was approximately $233,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 and approximately $291,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. Cash was utilized in all departments, i.e. sales, marketing,
and administration in the United Kingdom and Europe. Working capital was
approximately $139,000 at September 30, 1999 and approximately $466,000 at June
30, 1999. Working capital has been utilized to fund operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Currency Fluctuation
Currency fluctuations were insignificant to the Company's operations for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The Company operates in the
United States and United Kingdom (Pound Sterling); sales and rentals may also be
denominated in other currencies, such as French Franc, the Belgian Franc, the
Dutch Guilder and the German Mark. Changes in the exchange rates of currencies
could affect the Company's operations and cash flows. Currently, the Company
does not enter into any derivative contracts to hedge these risks.
Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the results of the Company's
operations for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
Year 2000 Readiness
To date the Company has fully completed its assessment of all systems that
could be significantly affected by the Year 2000 Issue. The Company has begun to
update its hardware and software applications utilizing internal resources. A
majority of the Company's software is currently Year 2000 compliant, and the
Company expects that the Year 2000 issue will not have a material impact on the
Company's future financial or operational position. However, these expectations
are subject to uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to the ability
to assess suppliers and customers readiness, failure to identify all susceptible
systems and the availability and the cost of personnel necessary to remediate
any unforeseen problems.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company has expensed $13,000 on costs
associated with Year 2000 Issues, and is expecting to incur additional expenses
in the amount of $28,000. The Company believes that 80% of the remaining
procedures are complete, and does not foresee any problems in completing the
remaining 20% in a timely manner. The Company also does not foresee any problems
with its vendors, as the Company typically buys in small quantities, and they
believe that their inventory levels are adequate for any unforeseen
situations/occurrences.
