ITEM 1. BUSINESS

DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation (the "Company" and or "DynaMotive") is a
world leader in biomass-to-liquid fuel conversion, a process known as "Fast
Pyrolysis". Its principal business is the development and commercialisation of
its renewable energy process called BioTherm(TM), which is a fast pyrolysis
process that produces liquid BioOil fuel from biomass or biomass waste
feedstocks. BioOil is a clean, renewable fuel which can replace natural gas,
diesel and other fossil fuels to produce power, mechanical energy and heat in
industrial boilers, fuel gas turbines and fuel reciprocating engines. The
Company aims to unleash significant amounts of energy production, in the form of
BioOil fuels, based upon utilization of abundant biomass waste streams from
agricultural and forest operations and other post-industrial biomass residues.
In many cases the feedstock sources are costly to dispose of and therefore are
available at zero cost or are potentially revenue generating to then convert
into BioOil. The process of biomass to energy conversion is sustainable,
renewable and greenhouse gas neutral and is consistent with other renewable
energy sources such as wind, hydro and solar. The significant advantage of
biomass energy over other renewable forms of energy, is that biomass is capable
of delivering energy on a 24/7 basis, whereas wind, hydro and solar energy
sources are all subject to natural fluctuations.

DynaMotive is attempting to establish its patented technology as the industry
standard for the production of liquid biomass based fuels, in competition with
other pyrolysis technologies, and other biomass to energy applications. The
Company's fast pyrolysis process efficiently converts raw biomass or biomass
wastes into three fuel types: Liquid (BioOil), Solid (char) and Gas
(non-condensable gases). The non-condensable gases are used to fuel the
pyrolysis process. The entire system is a closed loop with no emissions or waste
byproducts.

The Company and its partners are also engaged in research and development on a
range of derivative products that, if successful, could further enhance the
market and value for BioOil as an alternative fuel and product source.

The Company was incorporated on April 11, 1991 in the Province of British
Columbia, Canada, under the name of DynaMotive Canada Corporation. On October
31, 1995, the shareholders approved a change of name to DynaMotive Technologies
Corporation and on June 26, 2001, the shareholders again approved a change of
name to the Company's current name.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had seven wholly-owned subsidiaries:
DynaMotive Corporation (incorporated in the State of Rhode Island in 1990),
DynaMotive ElectroChem Corporation (incorporated in the Province of British
Columbia in 1993), DynaMotive Europe Limited (formerly known as DynaMotive
Technologies (UK) Ltd., incorporated in the United Kingdom in 1996),
DynaMill(TM)Systems Limited (incorporated in the Province of British Columbia in
1996), DynaMotive Puerto Rico, Inc. (incorporated in Puerto Rico in 1997),
DynaPower , Inc. (formerly known as 606620 B.C. Ltd., incorporated in the
Province of British Columbia in May 2000) and DynaMotive Canada, Inc.
(incorporated in Canada in November 2000). The Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, DynaMotive Europe Ltd., purchased 75% of the shares of Border
BioFuels Ltd, a United Kingdom company, in April, 2001.

In this Report, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the "Company"
and "DynaMotive" refer to DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation and its
subsidiaries. The Company is currently listed on the over-the-counter bulletin
board (OTCBB) under the symbol: DYMTF.OB.

The principal executive office of the Company is Suite 105 - 1700 West 75th
Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6P 6G2 (Telephone: 604-267-6000).

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

DynaMotive's primary focus is to commercialize its patented BioOil production
technology and establish this technology as the worldwide industry standard for
production of BioOil as a clean, renewable fuel utilizing biomass feedstocks. To
support this goal the Company plans over the next two years to develop full
commercial scale BioOil production facilities in conjunction with its alliance
partners and then expand upon its existing marketing efforts to generate new
licensee's throughout Canada, Europe, the USA, Asia and Latin America.

The BioOil Business Unit is currently commercializing its' BioTherm
biomass-to-energy technology that converts low or zero cost forest and
agricultural biomass wastes into liquid BioOil that is then used as a "green"
renewable fuel alternative for power generation, industrial use or as the raw
material for a range of derivative products.

In May 2001, the Company announced that it intends to focus exclusively in the
bioenergy field and in the development of BioOil and derivative products and
that it intended to divest its acid free industrial metal cleaning system for
wire manufacturing operated by its subsidiary, DynaPower, Inc., and had entered
into a Letter of Intent with DynaPower management for a potential Management
Buyout (MBO) of that subsidiary. The spin-off of DynaPower to DynaPower
management was concluded on April 11, 2002.

Financial information concerning the Company's industry segments is summarized
in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Unless otherwise indicated,
all financial information contained in this Annual Report is in U.S. dollars and
based on Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). A
reconciliation to US GAAP is detailed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts in this Form 10-K are in US
dollars.

I. CORE TECHNOLOGIES & STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNITS

A. BIOOIL BUSINESS UNIT

The BioOil Business Unit develops and markets the BioTherm(TM) process which
efficiently converts forest and agricultural biomass waste into BioOil, char and
non-condensable gases. There is zero waste from the process. Initial
applications for BioOil are targeted for generating heat, power and mechanical
energy in industrial boilers, gas turbines and stationary reciprocating engines.
The char can also be used as a fuel or as a feedstock for the production of
charcoal briquettes, in its raw form as a coal or coke alternative; or in other
potential value added applications including activated carbon for use in the
water and wine industries and carbon black for domestic and industrial uses. The
non-condensable gases are re-cycled in the BioTherm(TM) process and provide the
majority of the energy required for the process. DynaMotive aims to position its
technology as the worldwide industry standard for the production of BioOil
clean, renewable fuel.

The Company has demonstrated a high level of success from its BioTherm(TM) and
BioOil commercialisation program in recent years. DynaMotive has six phases to
its commercialisation program as shown below:

Phase 1: Bench scale, "proof of concept" was completed by RTI in 1996.
DynaMotive licensed the BioTherm(TM) technology in 1997 and purchased the
exclusive worldwide rights to the technology from RTI in 2000.

Phase 2: In 1997, DynaMotive built a 0.5 tpd prototype plant in Vancouver, BC
which was upgraded in 1998 to a capacity of 2 tpd. This plant has operated for
over 3,000 hours. In 1999, Stone & Webster Engineering completed technical due
diligence and concluded that the process was "reliable and scaleable."

Phase 3: DynaMotive completed construction of a new 10 tpd pilot plant in
December 2000 and completed its commissioning in March 2001. The plant has been
built to industrial specifications complete with a state-of-the-art distributed
control system (DCS). The plant has a production capacity of 6,000 litres of
BioOil per day.

Phase 4: Following successful operation of the 10 tpd pilot, DynaMotive plans to
construct and commission one 100 and one 200 tpd field demonstration plant in
2002, with completion in Q1 and Q2 2003. Both plants will use the same design,
and the Company intends to demonstrate the use of BioOil in two different
applications. These plants will process forest residues and are expected to
demonstrate continuous 24-hour production at a final commercial demonstration
scale. These projects are also intended to demonstrate continuous operation of
end use applications (boilers/kilns and gas turbines). The principal goal of
these commercial demonstration projects is to demonstrate the economics of the
process, and to secure future engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
commitments from the Company's current partners and potential future service and
equipment providers. Ultimately, the Company expects these EPC commitments to
facilitate lending commitments to execute on BioTherm(TM)/BioOil project
developments as part of the Company's final commercialization phase.

Phases 5/6: On completion of the field demonstration stage, DynaMotive and
partners plan to scale-up the demonstration plants to the first commercial
plants, followed by multiple commercial plants at the 200-400 tpd scale. The
Company is presently seeking to secure rights to multiple `high disposal cost'
biomass waste streams around the world, in order to launch its final commercial
efforts. The Company believes that by securing rights to these biomass waste
streams and related BioOil, power and/or energy purchase commitments will be
able to catalyze the development of commercial BioOil projects that incorporate
the design, engineering and licensing of its BioTherm(TM) technology.

BioOil can also be used as the basis for a range of derivative products
including, but not limited to, blended fuels for transportation, slow release
fertilizers and specialty chemicals. The Company continues to pursue its
strategy to secure industrial partners to develop commercial products from
BioOil derivatives, based upon prototypes developed by DynaMotive allowing the
Company to leverage its resources.

By virtue of being derived from biomass waste, all BioOil fuels are considered
to be carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas neutral. When combusted, they produce no
sulfur dioxide and significantly reduced nitrogen oxide emissions compared with
diesel fuel, therefore having significant environmental advantages over fossil
fuels with respect to atmospheric pollution.

1) BIOOIL PRODUCTION PROCESS

BioOil is produced using a patented fast pyrolysis process trade named
BioTherm(TM) that converts forest and agricultural biomass wastes such as
sawdust, sugar cane bagasse, rice husks and wheat straw amongst others into
commercial fuels (BioOil, char and non-condensable gases). The process was
developed by Resource Transforms International, Ltd. (RTI).

In 1996, the Company obtained the exclusive worldwide rights from RTI for air
emissions control products from this technology. In 1998, this exclusive
arrangement with RTI was expanded to include the BioTherm(TM) process and
virtually any new products derived from BioOil including fuels and slow release
fertilizers. In February 2000, the Company acquired the patent to this
technology from RTI and entered into a research agreement with RTI on biofuels
and BioOil derivative products.

In the BioTherm(TM) reactor, biomass waste materials are rapidly heated in the
absence of oxygen. The rapidly vaporized volatiles are then quickly condensed,
forming a liquid fuel referred to as BioOil, solid char and non-condensable
gases. Depending upon the feedstock used (many different sources of feedstock
have been bench tested thus far), the process typically produces 60-75 tons of
BioOil, 15-25 tons of char and approximately 15 tons of non-condensable gases
from 100 tons of biomass waste. The Company believes that the overall simplicity
of the BioTherm(TM) process and the fact that all the major equipment is already
well proven in existing related industrial applications gives the Company's
BioOil technology competitive advantages over other pyrolysis conversion
technologies such as lower capital and operating costs, higher product yields, a
significantly higher quality BioOil and the flexibility to process a wide
variety of feedstocks.

The Company began producing batch quantities of BioOil in 1997 in its 0.5 tpd
BioTherm(TM) pilot plant located at the Company's research and development
facility in Vancouver BC. By the end of 1998, the BioOil Technology Group had
upgraded, commissioned and operated the plant to a capacity of two tpd on a
continuous basis. In 1999, further changes were made to the feed system,
BioTherm(TM) reactor, cyclone, and instrumentation and control systems to
provide increased stable operation. Once these changes were made, the
BioTherm(TM) was re-commissioned and produced BioOil of sufficiently high
quality to meet fuel specification requirements as defined by our engine testing
partners.

The Company's new BioOil plant was officially opened and commissiond in March,
2001. Commissioning included a sustained 10 day, 24 hr/7 day a week operation
which demonstrated that this design with minor adjustments could yield 14.5 tpd
rather than the estimated 10 tons. The Company believes that the plant conforms
to all applicable British Columbia safety, electrical and mechanical design
standards, utilizing state-of-the-art "smart" instrumentation and a high-powered
industrial-grade distributed control system. The Company adopted this design
policy in order to facilitate easy scale-up to commercial plant capacities.

2) BIOOIL COMMERCIAL DEMONSTRATIONS, APPLICATIONS AND MARKETS

DynaMotive, in conjunction with its partners, plans to commence construction of
a 100 tpd field demonstration plant in the second quarter of 2002 with
commissioning planned for the first quarter of 2003. This plant will process
forest waste and is expected to demonstrate continuous 24-hour production.
During the third quarter of 2001 DynaMotive formally launched the design of a
100 tpd pyrolysis plant which represents a 400% increase in capacity from its
original plan. The 100 tpd plant is projected to produce enough fuel to
continuously fire a 2.5 Megawatt turbine and be capable of providing electricity
to a small town (approximately 2,000 households). The final site and project
financing are currently expected to be finalized in the second quarter of 2002.

Based upon announced plans, DynaMotive intends to establish a 200 tpd
demonstration BioOil plant at a Canadian Forest Products Ltd. facility; wood
residues at the mill will be converted into BioOil which will then displace
natural gas used in the lumber drying kilns. Subsequent applications are
intended to displace natural gas in pulp mill lime kilns. The final site and
project financing are expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 2002.

In November, 2001, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to
conduct feasibility studies for the development of a power project in Canada
whereby wood residue from Erie Flooring and Wood Products would be converted
into BioOil to power a Magellan Aerospace (Symbol: MAL, Toronto) 2.5 MW GT 2500
turbine. The project under consideration would have maximum capacity of 4MWe.

Also in November 2001, Natural Resources Canada provided a Technical Opinion
indicating that DynaMotive's pyrolysis technology is eligible to receive
treatment as renewable energy capital equipment under Schedule II, Class 43.1 of
the Canadian Income Tax Act. The ruling, subject to confirmation by the Canada
Customs and Revenue Agency, enables the Company's technology to be utilized in
the aforementioned Canfor 200 tpd biomass project and enables either flow
through share investors or project related investors to receive substantial
Canadian tax benefits which should facilitate arranging project funding for the
Canfor project and all other Canadian projects. The tax benefits allow flow
through share investors to deduct 100% of their investment against taxable
income in the year the investment is made. Project related investors may fully
deduct portions of their investment against taxable income in the year it was
made, and also may receive accelerated depreciation tax deductions on the
remainder of their investment.

The Company believes that the nearest term commercial application for BioOil is
as a clean burning fuel that can be used to replace natural gas, diesel and
other fossil fuels in boilers, gas turbines and slow and medium speed
reciprocating engines for heat and power generation, to replace natural gas in
the forest industry and for an applications in the U.S. coal industry. Initial
markets may include Canada, the US, the UK and Brazil followed by other European
countries, in addition to sugar producing regions in other parts of Latin
America, Asia and Island based economies.

Orenda Aerospace, a division of Magellan Aerospace, is in the second phase of a
program to develop a commercial

gas turbine package fueled by DynaMotive's BioOil, following successful fuel
tests in 2000 and 2001. A project in the UK with DynaMotive's subsidiary, Border
Biofuels, has been identified with Orenda as being an ideal commercial
demonstration of its BioOil fueled turbine. Orenda has also identified two
further commercial demonstration projects for its turbines and BioOil, one with
Erie Flooring as referred to above and one in New Hampshire with the Business
Enterprise Development Council referred to in the BioOil operations section.
Testing programs with additional engine and turbine manufacturers in Europe and
North America are planned for 2002.

Orenda has initiated a second phase program to develop a commercial gas turbine
package to operate on DynaMotive's BioOil fuel following the successful first
round of fuel tests. The program involves completion of turbine modifications
required for Orenda's 2.5 MW (megawatt) GT2500 gas turbine to run on BioOil,
coupled with a full scale engine testing program in Canada and Europe, as
described above, to validate long-term commercial operation of BioOil fueled gas
turbines. The program schedule is expected to extend through 2003, with the
first fully commercial BioOil and turbine installation expected to come onstream
in the second quarter of 2004.

DynaMotive also targets the industrial fuels market. Working with the Canadian
federal department of Natural Resources CANMET Energy Technology Centre in
Ottawa, Ontario, it developed a burner nozzle design for stable BioOil fuel
combustion. This has created opportunities for early commercial applications for
BioOil as a clean burning fuel to replace natural gas, diesel and other fossil
fuels in the multi-billion dollar industrial boilers, kiln fuels and specialty
heating applications markets. Testing of BioOil in lumber kilns and lime kilns
is targeted to commence in the second quarter of 2002. Customers for BioOil
fuels could potentially include local, regional and international power
generators and electrical utilities (fuel substitution in large scale power
plants and fuel for district heating), fuel distributors, forest companies
(natural gas substitute in lime kilns, lumber kilns and boilers), oil and gas
producers (steam production for extraction) and manufacturing companies (process
heat) including sawmills, pulp mills and greenhouses. Beyond the programs above,
testing with various industrial burner and boiler combustion experts and
manufacturers are planned for Europe and North America in 2002.

In late 1998 and the first quarter of 1999, the Company initiated fuel-testing
programs with several major reciprocating engine and gas turbine manufacturers
in Europe and North America. The Company has also tested a variety of BioOil
feedstocks including bark and bark/white wood blends as well as bagasse, a solid
pulp material remaining after the extraction of juice from sugar cane. Testing
of various types of mixes and sizes of feedstock continued throughout 2001 with
key objectives being to characterize the BioOil with Societe Generale de
Surveillance and optimize the production process. Characterization of the BioOil
assists reciprocatingl and turbine engine manufacturers in their assessment of
the viability of BioOil in connection with their operations.

The Company also continues to work with Cosan ("Cosan" is one of Brazil's
largest sugar and ethanol producers) with which the Company signed a
comprehensive Memoranda of Understanding in March 1998.

Cosan and DynaMotive have begun second stage testing of bagasse aimed at
optimizing technical design for bagasse-based BioOil pyrolysis plants. The
launching of the second phase testing program as a precursor to the development
of bagasse-specific technology is a critical step in the development program.
During this stage, the Company will concentrate on optimizing the design for a
bagasse-fed BioOil pyrolysis plant and further validating applications, fuel
quality and chemical composition of BioOil made from bagasse.

Commencing in the third quarter of 2000 and throughout 2001, the Company
completed a series of production runs converting 100% softwood bark derived from
spruce, pine and fir into fuel quality BioOil. From a commercial perspective,
demonstrating the capability to produce a fuel quality BioOil from both bark and
bark/white wood blends is a significant milestone, opening up the entire wood
residue market to the Company's BioOil production technology.

Lower value bark residues are a major problem for the forest industry; as bark
has little or no value and is costly to dispose of. Canada, for example,
produces approximately 18 million tons of sawmill residues per year of which 5
to 6 million tons are considered wastes and are subsequently incinerated or
landfilled. Canada's wood waste alone could potentially be converted to 15
million barrels of BioOil per year and represents a significant source of raw
materials for DynaMotive.

3) BIOOIL APPLICATIONS & DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS

BioOil has a wide range of potential commercial applications. As the BioOil
industry matures it has the potential to follow a similar development path as
the petroleum industry, beginning with exploitation of basic unrefined BioOil
fuels for power generation and district heating followed by blends and emulsions
for transportation. Development of higher value products, including
agro-products, resins, adhesives, specialty chemicals, slow release fertilizers
and other derivatives, may occur as refining and processing techniques are
established by future Licensees or partnerships with DynaMotive. Over time, we
anticipate that BioOil will be refined in much the same way that petroleum is
today in order to derive the highest value energy and chemical products.

The Company intends to follow a staged approach to product development focusing
initially on the earliest and most appropriate application of BioOil as a clean,
renewable fuel to generate power and heat in industrial boilers and kilns, gas
turbines and stationary reciprocating engines. The Company is also supporting
efforts to develop a next generation of higher-value fuels, including
BioOil/ethanol blends, BioOil/diesel emulsions and catalytic reforming of BioOil
to produce synthetic fuels and bio-methanol. BioOil also has potential as a raw
material to produce agro-products such as slow release fertilizers and other
high-value products.

Over the longer term, the Company believes that exploitation of specialty
chemicals contained in BioOil has the potential to create significant value. RTI
and other research institutions are developing techniques to extract chemicals
such as hydroxyacetaldehyde, levoglucosan, levoglucosenone, acetol, acetic acid
and formic acid. These chemicals have a wide variety of possible applications
including food flavorings, adhesives, resins, pharmaceuticals, bio-based
pesticides and paper brighteners.

CHAR PRODUCTION

Char is a significant co-product of the Company's pyrolysis process. Char is a
granular solid with properties similar to coal. At 23 - 25 Giga Joules per
tonne, pyrolysis char has a higher heating value than wood and many grades of
coal. Like BioOil, it is a "green" fuel which is CO2 neutral and does not
contain any sulfur.

A commercial scale BioOil plant processing 400 tpd of wood residue is expected
to produce approximately 26,000 tons per year of char with a total energy value
of 600,000 - 650,000 Giga Joules. Char production is dependent on the
composition and species of the feedstock.

Early stage applications of char will focus on direct substitution or
augmentation of fossil fuels to produce process heat and power via commercially
available technologies in BioOil plants, sawmills, thermal power generation and
cement production. Char may also have potential for use as a feedstock for
manufacturing of charcoal briquettes.

In December 2001, the Company announced that 20 tons of char, produced at its
Vancouver plant, had been successfully tested at industrial scale and the
prototype briquettes showed excellent results, meeting or exceeding all charcoal
industry quality standards. The test followed bench scale trials that took place
in the second quarter of 2001.

4) BIOOIL STRATEGIC PARTNERS, INVESTMENT AND GOVERNMENT FUNDING

The Company's BioOil technologies are consistent with the environmental and
economic objectives of many governments around the world. The Company has
received strong support from the governments in Canada and the U.K. Canadian
government support has been received from Industry Canada/Technology
Partnerships Canada which has agreed to contribute Cdn $8.2 million (US $5.1
million) to DynaMotive for development and commercialization of BioOil fuels and
derivative products and Natural Resources Canada which has contributed $250,000
to support ongoing research and development of BioOil at the CANMET national
laboratory. The Department of Trade and Industry in the U.K. has also awarded
grants to DynaMotive's subsidiary (Border BioFuels Ltd.) totaling approximately
$1.7 million towards a 100 tpd demonstration project in the U.K.

5) BIOOIL BUSINESS UNIT

The Company has now established BioOil operations in Europe, Brazil, US and
Canada and intends to establish additional operations in the Far East, South
Africa, island based economies and other key markets. The main function of these
subsidiaries is the development and implementation of market strategies for the
establishment of the Company's technology in their specific markets. These
operations are intended to act as marketing catalysts for the design and
development of BioOil production facilities in their regions, by licensing the
BioTherm(TM) technology and marketing BioOil as a greenhouse gas neutral,
renewable fuel in domestic and international markets. DynaMotive will continue
to develop its BioOil technology, conduct R&D on BioOil fuels and derivative
products and provide services to the operating units.

CANADIAN BIOOIL OPERATIONS

DynaMotive announced in 2000 the establishment of DynaMotive Canada Inc. with
the primary mandate to develop and license BioOil production facilities in
Canada.

The Company intends to tap Canada's vast reserves of biomass, particularly
forest and agro waste by-products, to produce clean burning BioOil for domestic
and export markets and believes that the application of BioOil as an alternative
to fossil fuel, initially in power and heat markets and later in transportation
markets, has the potential to help Canadian industry achieve significant
reductions in greenhouse gases. To date, all Canadian activities have continued
to be carried out in DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation and therefore, no
revenues have been recorded in DynaMotive Canada Inc.

EUROPEAN BIOOIL OPERATIONS

DynaMotive's wholly owned subsidiary, DynaMotive Europe Ltd. (DEL) is working
with potential BioOil strategic partners in the UK and Europe to conduct market
and commercial research for BioOil production and applications in Europe and to
broaden the awareness of the European and international activities of the
DynaMotive group of operating companies to UK and European financial
institutions and investors.

In April 2001, DEL acquired 75% of Border Biofuels Limited (BBL), a UK Green
Power project development company with an option to acquire the remaining equity
interest of the Company in a deferred stock transaction. The purchase of BBL is
described in detail in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. BBL
contributed revenue of $357,047 during 2001. Through the acquisition of BBL,
DynaMotive owns 15 year power purchase agreements in the UK for the production
of 69 MW (gross capacity) of electricity fueled by BioOil. The contracts provide
an option, but not the obligation, to provide such power. As of December 31,
2001, such power purchase agreements have a recorded value of $3,497,552. The
transaction involved the assumption of debt by DynaMotive of (pound)200,000
(approximately US$290,300) for which the Company provided a guarantee to BBL's
lenders, the transfer of 75% of the shares in BBL for a nominal consideration
((pound)1) and an agreement to acquire the balance of BBL's equity for
(pound)1,109,000 (approximately US$1,609,000) in DynaMotive stock at the higher
rate of $3.00 per share or the prevailing market price at the time BBL becomes
profitable under UK General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Furthermore,
as part of the transaction, BBL restructured its debt with its lenders and
directors.

US BIOOIL OPERATIONS

During 2001, the Company's US subsidiary, DynaMotive Corporation, continued to
actively evaluate commercial opportunities in agri waste products (sugar cane
bagasse, wheat straw, etc.) as well as forest by-products.

In October 2001, DynaMotive's US subsidiary signed a Memorandum of Understanding
with the Business Enterprise Development Council, a community development
corporation based in New Hampshire, to establish the feasibility of developing
commercial energy projects based on DynaMotive's proprietary BioOil technology.

II. RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS

For the most part, the Company's products are custom designed and manufactured
and are not produced for inventory. BioOil units will only be produced for
specific projects with procurement commencing when project funding has been
fully committed.

The Company outsources the final assembly of its products prior to sale and does
not manufacture the major components of its systems. The manufactured components
and materials used in the Company's products are obtained from both domestic and
foreign sources. Generally, lead-time for delivery of materials has not been a
problem.

While the Company has intentionally chosen to use only a limited number of
manufacturers to produce the components for its technologies, in the opinion of
management, the Company has a readily available supply of components and raw
materials for all of its anticipated products from various sources and does not
anticipate any difficulties in obtaining the components and raw materials
necessary to its business.

The Company believes that this licensing and focused, outsourced manufacturing
strategy allows it to deliver superior products without the high capital
expenditures that the Company would otherwise require in order to manufacture
the components in house. As a result of limiting the number of suppliers for the
key components for the Company's products, the Company believes it is better
able to control costs while still maintaining high quality specifications for
the components' manufacture. Moreover, the Company believes that it is better
able to limit the number of third parties who have access to the Company's
proprietary technologies.

III. PRIMARY CUSTOMERS

The Company presently has a limited customer base purchasing its technologies.
As the Company's BioTherm production process becomes commercialized, the
customer base for BioOil and BioOil based derivative products and production
facilities could also include manufacturers of slow release fertilizers, air
pollution control products and specialty chemicals.

DynaMotive intends to demonstrate its BioOil technology at commercial scale over
the next 12 months. Initial market opportunities for DynaMotive's technology
include integrated energy (heat and power) systems for the forest and sugar
industry, remote-from-grid power generation, Island economies (fossil fuel
displacement and valuable reduction in associated hard currency borrowings) and
opportunities under green house gas emission reduction quotas.

In developed countries, carbon taxes and increased demand for energy presents
fertile ground for DynaMotive's systems. Many Island countries import a major
part of their energy needs while producing large quantities of agricultural
waste; BioOil installations provide the potential to utilize such waste, create
jobs and displace a significant portion of the imported energy. Also, an
important role could be played by DynaMotive in developing countries where micro
power systems based on renewables would often be cheaper than extending the grid
to reach remote areas.

IV. PATENTS, LICENSES, AND TRADEMARKS

The Company considers patents to be an important aspect of the Company's
business. The Company aggressively protects its intellectual property such as
trademarks, patents, product designs, manufacturing processes and new product
research and concepts. These rights are protected through the development and
acquisition of utility and design patents and trademark registrations, the
maintenance of trade secrets and, when necessary and appropriate, litigation
against those who, in the Company's opinion, are competing unfairly with the
Company. The Company also maintains stringent procedures to maintain the secrecy
of its confidential business information. These procedures include the
establishment of "need to know" criteria for the dissemination of certain
information and the use of written confidentiality agreements in cases where the
sharing of proprietary information with third parties is necessary.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company has active inventions protected by patents
issued and patents pending via in-house development or license. The earliest the
Company's key U.S. patents are scheduled to expire is April 25, 2012.

The key BioTherm patents expire in 2016 and 2017 in all jurisdictions except
India where they expire in 2010.

V. COMPETITION

The Company strives to compete on the basis of its ability to provide products
that are more economical than comparable existing products and which are more
environmentally friendly than current products used by the expected industrial
consumers.

The Company's BioOil production technology is currently in the demonstration
stage. While the BioOil Business Unit has produced and shipped BioOil to engine
manufacturers for testing purposes and is working with partners on developing
BioOil derivative products, it has not reached commercial production. The
Company believes that the combination of its BioTherm systems' lower capital
costs, higher yield of BioOil, superior quality of produced BioOil, system
reliability and scalability provide DynaMotive with very significant competitive
advantages vis-a-vis other existing technologies.

Despite environmental and cost advantages that the Company believes exist with
its primary technologies, the markets for the Company's products are
traditionally highly competitive, and other providers of alternative
technologies may have advantages due to their long-standing relationships with
DynaMotive's potential customers. Competitors to DynaMotive may also have
substantially greater access to capital and technical resources than does the
Company and may therefore have competitive advantages. The Company's success is
dependent on the acceptance of its technologies by industries that may be slow
to change and implement new technologies.

The Company has limited competition as we approach the market with innovative
technical solutions brought by the BioTherm(TM) technology. Therefore, like any
new technology, the Company's primary technology face market acceptance barriers
that do not affect already established technologies. To date, the Company's
primary technologies and products have gained limited market acceptance and have
generated limited revenues. The success of new products depends on a variety of
factors, including product selection, pricing, performance and design,
implementation of manufacturing and assembly processes, product performance and
effective sales and marketing. The Company has only recently begun to undertake
to market certain of the Company's more developed technologies.

VI. EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REGULATIONS

The Company may be subject to material federal, state or foreign environmental
laws. If full commercial use of BioOil in power generation, heat and other
applications commences, the Company believes that it may become subject to
various federal, local and foreign laws and regulations pertaining to the
discharge of material into the environment, the use of biological waste products
as feedstock, and otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. The
Company believes that it will be able to fully comply in all material aspects
with all such laws and regulations to the extent that they be deemed applicable
to the Company's product with only limited resources expected to be required by
the Company in so complying.

The Company believes that the environmental regulations currently imposed upon
the targeted consumers of the Company's primary technologies are likely to be
maintained if not expanded upon for the foreseeable future. The Company believes
that the imposition of such regulations upon these targeted customers will
provide significant assistance to the Company's ability to sell its products.
Any stringent environmental protection laws enacted in an area in which a
targeted customer is located could further enhance the Company's ability to
attract customers to use these products.

VII. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

As of the end of 2001, the Company had expended on a cumulative basis $7,713,800
on research and development. Of this amount, $2,359,931 was sponsored by
customer and government funding as of December 31, 2001. In addition to
outsourcing certain research and development activities to its strategic partner
Resource Transforms International, eleven full time employees were engaged in
research and development activities as at December 31, 2001. At the end of 2000
and 1999, $7,028,905 and $6,497,383 had been expended cumulatively on research
and development of which $2,299,264 for 2000 and $2,014,275 for 1999 was
sponsored by customer and government

funding.

During 2002, the Company expects to continue to test various feedstock materials
to optimize the preparation of feedstock materials and the production of BioOil
from such materials. Results of these various tests are expected to facilitate
the optimization of design and engineering of future BioOil plants. Research and
development in 2002 will also focus on adding value to and optimizing the
applications of BioOil and char.

VIII. NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

As at December 31, 2001, the Company employed 46 persons including full-time and
a varying number of part-time employees, depending on project development
stages. Full-time employees include individuals with consulting agreements who
provide full-time service to the Company. The Company considers its relations
with its employees to be good.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors
described below because they could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, operating results, prospects and or the market price of our
common shares. This Risk Factors section is written in accordance with U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission's "plain English" guidelines. In this
section, the words "we," "us," "our" and "ours" refer only to the Company and
its subsidiaries and not any other person.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS

WE HAVE INCURRED NET LOSSES SINCE COMMENCING BUSINESS AND EXPECT FUTURE LOSSES

We have had limited revenues to date and have not shown a profit since
inception. The Company had a net loss of $6,838,264 for the year ended December
31, 2001 as well as a net loss of $4,756,873 for the year ended December 31,
2000. We expect to show a substantial net loss for the year ended 2002. We do
not expect revenues to increase in any significant way until we have
successfully established commercial BioOil operations. Accordingly, we may not
be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, if at all.

WE HAVE LIMITED FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT RESOURCES TO PURSUE OUR GROWTH STRATEGY

Our growth strategy may place a significant strain on our management,
operational and financial resources. We have limited cash flow from operations
and continue to seek additional capital. We will likely have to obtain
additional capital either through debt or equity financing to continue our
research and development strategies. There can be no assurance, however, that we
will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company. If
adequate funds are not available when needed, we may be required to delay,
scale-back or eliminate the manufacturing, marketing or sales of one or more of
our products or research and development programs.

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible
securities, these new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or
privileges that are senior to those of our Common Shares. Additionally, the
percentage of ownership of the Company held by existing shareholders will be
reduced.

WE MUST DEVELOP AND EXPAND OUR SALES AND MARKETING CAPABILITIES

Our sales and marketing experience is very limited. We will be required to
further develop our marketing and sales force in order to effectively
demonstrate the advantages of our technology over more traditional technology,
as well as other competitors' technology. We may not be able to establish
adequate sales and distribution capabilities, and there is no guarantee that our
sales and marketing experience will be successful. We presently have only a
limited customer base purchasing our technologies. The loss of any one of these
customers would have a material adverse effect on our business.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

Patents and other intellectual property are a critical aspect of the present
operation and future success of our business. Policing unauthorized use of our
proprietary technologies and other intellectual rights could entail significant
expense and could be difficult or impossible, particularly given that the laws
of some countries afford little or no effective protection of our intellectual
property. Given the nature of our business, third parties may bring claims of
copyright, patent or trademark infringement against us. Further, third parties
may claim that we have misappropriated their creative ideas or otherwise
infringed on their proprietary rights in connection with our technologies. Any
claims of infringement, with or without merit, could be time consuming to
defend, result in costly litigation, divert management attention, require us to
enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements or prevent us from using
important technologies or methods.

OUR TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT YET BEEN COMMERCIALIZED

To date, our technology has been tested only at a pre-commercial scale. Full
commercialization may expose operational flaws and unanticipated costs that may
inhibit market acceptance.

OUR MARKET IS VERY COMPETITIVE

The markets for our products and technologies are traditionally highly
competitive, and other providers of products and technologies have various
advantages and disadvantages in competition with ours. Many of our competitors
have established long-standing relationships with power generation companies,
utilities, manufacturers and others that we view as potential customers. Most
competitors also have substantially greater access to capital and technical
resources than we do and may therefore have a significant competitive advantage.

Our primary technologies face market acceptance barriers that do not affect
already established technologies. To date, our primary technologies and products
have gained only limited market acceptance and have generated limited revenues.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO HAZARDOUS WASTE LIABILITIES

BioOil and some its derivative products may be deemed to be hazardous wastes for
which a liability may be imposed upon us should any contamination from improper
storage or handling occur. Liability costs associated with environmental
cleanups of contaminated sites historically have been very high as have been the
level of fines imposed by regularity authorities upon parties deemed to be
responsible for environmental contamination. At present, we do not maintain any
insurance coverage to insure against such liabilities that might arise should
any contamination occur and for which we may be found liable, potentially liable
or a responsible party. We may not be able to obtain insurance protection from
such liabilities if they should ever arise. If contamination should take place
for which we are deemed to be liable, potentially liable or a responsible party,
the resulting costs could have a material effect on our business.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON SHARES

A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OUR COMMON SHARES ARE HELD BY FEW SHAREHOLDERS

As of March 22, 2002, China Energy Holdings, Ltd., owned 7,000,000 shares of the
Company's Common Shares, representing approximately 16.07% of the issued and
outstanding shares. Similarly, on such date Neoventi Technology Corporation, a
company partially controlled by two of our directors, beneficially owned
2,094,538 shares of the Company's Common Shares, representing approximately 4.8%
of the issued and outstanding shares. Consequently, these stockholders, if they
act together, would be able to exert significant influence over all matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval
of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of
ownership may delay or prevent a change of control of the Company, even when a
change may be in the best interests of our stockholders. The interests of these
stockholders may not always coincide with our interests as a company or the
interests of other stockholders.

THE ABILITY TO TRADE THE COMPANY'S STOCK MAY BE LIMITED

Shares of the Company's Common Shares currently trade only upon the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board market. This may not provide the same liquidity
for the trading of securities as the Nasdaq. Because our shares are not listed
on Nasdaq or any exchange, the Company's stock presently comes within the
definition of a "penny stock" as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the rules under that Act.

Generally, the penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction
in a penny stock to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by
the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of
risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the
customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in
the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require
that the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny
stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's
written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the
effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a
stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Therefore, investors may find it
more difficult to sell their shares.

OUR STOCK'S TRADING PRICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO MARKET VOLATILITY

In recent years, the stock market in general, and the prices of stock of
technology companies including our own, have experienced extreme price
fluctuations, sometimes without regard to the fundamentals of the particular
company. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the
market price of our Common Shares.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933 that reflect our current expectations about our future results,
performance, prospects and opportunities. Where possible, the forward-looking
statements are identified by words such as "believes," "anticipates," "plans,"
"expects," "seeks," "estimates," "intends," "may," "will," and other similar
expressions; however, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying
such statements. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations,
projections or other characterization of future events or circumstances are
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to
significant risks, uncertainties and other factors including those identified in
the "Risk Factors" section of this Form 10-K, which may cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by, these statements. The
Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring
subsequent to the filing of this report or for any other reason.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company's facilities are leased. The Company's corporate headquarters are
located in a business park complex in Vancouver, BC, Canada with approximately
7,200 square feet of office space

The Company has also leased approximately 7,000 square feet of premises at
British Columbia Research, Inc. for its research and development team and its
newly constructed 10 tpd day BioOil demonstration plant.

DynaPower, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has its headquarters
located beside the corporate offices in Vancouver occupying approximately 700
square feet of office space.

DynaMotive Europe Limited, one of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries
conducts its operations in Central London from leased offices to better serve
its corporate needs.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company's average monthly premise and equipment
lease obligations for all locations totaled approximately $33,230 per month. As
part of a credit facility agreement, the Company has

provided the Bank of Nova Scotia a lien on all present and future properties.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company was named a party to a legal proceeding in 2000, filed by HPG
Research Ltd., a British Columbia company, in the Supreme Court of British
Columbia, for an alleged breach of a Royalty Agreement, executed between the
Company and HPG in 1993. The plaintiff is claiming damages equal to a percentage
of DynaPower sales. The parties agreed to proceed to arbitration under the
Commercial Arbitration Act of British Columbia and are in the process of finding
a suitable arbitrator for this matter. No arbitrator has been appointed as at
the end of December 2001. The Company intends to contest this claim vigorously.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

During the fourth quarter, no matters were submitted to a vote of the security
holders of the Registrant.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation's Common Shares is traded on the Over the
Counter Bulletin Board (OTC BB) under the symbol DYMTF.OB. The Registrant
estimates that as at December 31, 2001 there were approximately 409 shareholders
of record of the Company's Common Shares. The closing market sales price on the
OTC BB for the Company's Common Shares on April 12, 2002 was $0.40 per share.
The following table shows the market range for the Company's Common Shares based

* The quotations may reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up,
mark-down or commissions and may not represent actual transactions.

The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its Common Shares. The
Company currently intends to retain its earnings, if any, to provide funds for
the operation and expansion of its business and, therefore, does not anticipate
declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

There are no Canadian laws, decrees or regulations applicable to the Company
that restrict the export or import of capital or that affect the remittance of
dividends or other payments, if any, to non-resident holders of the Company's
Common Shares, other than British Columbia corporate laws which restrict the
company from paying dividends

where the Company is or as a result of paying the dividend will become
insolvent. The Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended, provides
that the normal 25% withholding tax rate is reduced to 15% on dividends paid on
shares of a corporation resident in Canada to residents of the United States,
and also provides for a further reduction of this rate to 5% where the
beneficial owner of the dividends is a corporation which is a resident of the
United States and which owns at least 10% of the voting shares of the
corporation paying the dividend.

The Company is a Province of British Columbia, Canada, corporation. There is no
law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or
import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other
payments to a non-resident holder of its Common Shares, other than withholding
tax requirements and British Columbia corporate laws which restrict the Company
from paying dividends where the Company is or as a result of paying the dividend
will become, insolvent.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company closed the final tranche of its
August 2001 private placement financing of equity units for aggregate proceeds
of $798,636, including $725,000 in cash and $73,636 in cancellation of
consulting fees payable by the Company. $650,000 of the total proceeds were
received in an offering of equity units priced at $0.55 per unit consisting of
one common share of the Company and one warrant to purchase one half of a common
share at $0.90 for a term of six months and one warrant to purchase one half of
a common share at $1.50 for a three year term. The warrants are subject to
acceleration under certain circumstances. The balance of $125,000 was raised by
the sale of 300,000 Common Shares at $0.40 and $0.45 per share. A total of
1,481,817 Common Shares and 1,181,817 warrants were issued in these two
offerings.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company commenced an equity financing of
up to $1.25 million, payable in five equal installments at an offering price
equal to the higher of $0.40 per subscribed share or 75% of the arithmetical
average of the closing price of the Company's Common Shares over the five
trading days ending immediately prior to the commitment date, up to a maximum of
$0.50 per share. The Company received subscription commitments of $1.2 million,
and as at December 31, 2001, $542,948 had been received, including $479,026 in
cash and $63,922 in cancellation of consulting fees payable by the Company.

The offers and sales of securities in the August 2001 financing described above
to R. Andrew Kingston, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
James Acheson, Chief Operating Officer of a subsidiary of the Company, were made
to Accredited Investors as defined under Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are therefore exempt from United States
registration requirements pursuant to Regulation D. Mr. Kingston purchased
60,606 shares and 60,606 warrants for consideration of $33,333. Mr. Acheson
purchased 63,636 shares and 63,636 warrants for consideration of $35,000. The
offers and sales of securities to all other investors in both the private
placement financings discussed above were made to investors who were not U.S.
Persons as defined under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and
were therefore exempt from United States registration requirements pursuant to
Regulation S. There were no underwriters in connection with any of these offers
and sales.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

Except as otherwise indicated, the following selected financial data have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.
A reconciliation of amounts presented in accordance with United States
accounting principles is detailed in note 20 of the company's audited financial
statements.

During 2001, significant impacts to results of operations and comparability of
results of operations in 2001 versus 2000 occurred principally due to the
announced divestiture of the Company's DynaPower subsidiary and the simultaneous
decline in industrial wire cleaning activity which affected the DynaPower
subsidiary; and due to the Company's April 2001 acquistion of Border BioFuels
Ltd. The announced DynaPower divestiture, as described in Item 7, Results of
Operations, caused the Company to focus on its BioOil related activities and
thus DynaPower revenues declined as a result of this decision. Additionally,
DynaPower related revenues were also negatively affected by a decline in the
industrial wire cleaning sector, thus generating lower revenues in 2001 versus
2000. The acquisition of Border Biofuels during 2001, while adding revenues to
the Company, caused the majority of the increase in expenditures the Company
experienced in 2001 versus 2000. Further description of the effects on results
of operations of the Border BioFuels acquisition are set forth in Item 7,
Results Of Operations. The impact of the Border Biofuels acquisition affects the
comparability of the Company's results of operations in 2001 to prior years.

During 2001, significant impacts to the Company's financial position and
comparability of its financial position in 2001 versus 2000 occurred principally
due to the Company's April, 2001 acquistion of Border BioFuels Ltd. The
acquisition provided the majority of the increase in Total Assets during the
year as described in Item 7, Results Of Operations. Accordingly, the acquisition
also provided the majority of the increase in Total Liabilities during the year
as further described in Item 7, Results of Operations. The impact of the Border
Biofuels acquisition affects the comparability of the Company's financial
position in 2001 to prior years.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION

This report contains statements of a forward-looking nature relating to future
events or our future performance. These statements are only predictions and
actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements,
you should carefully consider the various factors identified in this report
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or
implied by, any forward-looking statements, including those set forth in "Risk
Factors." See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

The company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in Canada. A reconciliation of amounts
presented in accordance with United States accounting principles is detailed in
note 20 of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company believes
the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments
and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are disclosed in US dollars.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized upon shipment of the product to
the customer.

Revenue from contracts relating to implementation of the Company's metal
cleaning systems in a commercial application is recognized on a completed
contract basis, except for those which are greater than three months in
duration, for which revenue is recognized on a percentage of completion basis
where the basis of measure of performance is based on engineering estimates of
completion. Losses on contracts are recognized when they become known.

Revenue from services contracts is recognized when the services are provided.

GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AND INVESTMENT TAX CREDITS

Government assistance towards current expenses is included in the determination
of income for the period as a reduction of the expenses to which it relates.
Amounts received for future expenditures are recorded as a current liability.
Government assistance towards the acquisition of capital assets is deducted from
the cost of the related capital assets.

Government assistance received, in relation to the acquisition of capital assets
or capital assets under construction, on behalf of third parties but not
repayable to such third parties is recorded as a deferred credit and will be
amortized over the useful life of the respective asset beginning at the end of
commissioning of such assets.

Investment tax credits are accounted for under the cost reduction method whereby
they are netted against the expense or capital asset to which they relate.

Investment tax credits are recorded when the Company has incurred the qualifying
expenditures and there is reasonable assurance the tax credits will be realized
(please refer to note 17 in the consolidated financial statements for more
details regarding government assistance).

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research costs are expensed in the year incurred. Development costs are expensed
in the year incurred unless the Company believes the development project meets
Canadian generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization.
In evaluating these criteria the Company considers technological feasibility to
be established only

when a product demonstrates it operates under conditions, which are acceptable
to target customers.

If management determines that the development of products to which such costs
have been capitalized is not reasonably certain, or that costs exceed
recoverable value, such costs are charged to operations.

CAPITAL ASSETS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The Company expenses all preliminary stage costs, including costs related to the
consideration of alternatives, feasibility studies, and activities occurring
prior to the decision to proceed with the project, incurred with respect to a
potential capital project until the capital project meets the Company's
capitalization policy and is considered a capital asset under construction. The
Company begins to capitalize costs for capital assets under construction when it
has determined that it is more likely than not that the financing for the
capital project is available and it is more likely than not that the Company
will be able to meet the requisite local and other governmental regulations to
develop the capital project.

For those capital projects that meet the Company's capitalization policy, the
Company capitalizes incremental costs that are directly identifiable with the
specific capital project until the capital project is substantially complete and
ready for its intended use. Financing costs, including interest, are capitalized
when they arise from indebtedness incurred, directly or indirectly, to finance
the construction of the capital project. Capitalization of financing costs will
cease when a capital project is considered to be substantially complete and
ready for its intended use.

Annually, or more frequently as circumstances require, the Company performs
periodic evaluations to assess the recoverability of its capital assets under
construction.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has two stock based compensation plans - a stock appreciation rights
(SAR) plan and a stock option plan for directors, employees and others, which
are described in note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. Under the
terms of the stock option plan the Company may grant fixed options or options
whose vesting is contingent on future performance. No compensation is recognized
when SAR's and fixed or performance based stock options are granted to employees
and directors.

The Company has a compensation arrangement with several officers of the Company
whereby the officers receive a fixed number of common shares per month. The
Company records compensation expense monthly based on the month-end quoted
market price of the Company's stock.

In addition, the Company has entered into compensation arrangements, which
entitle non-employees to specific amounts, which can only be settled by applying
the amounts to exercise outstanding options to purchase common shares monthly
over a period of up to twelve months. The Company recognizes compensation
expense based on the fair value of the common stock issuable under the
arrangement, when related services are performed. The common shares issuable
under these arrangements are generally issued in the quarter following the
period in which they are earned.

The Company may also issue stock options and warrants as consideration for
services rendered by non-employees. Such equity awards are recorded at their
fair value, as compensation expense or capitalized to capital assets under
construction when the Company receives the related services and the equity
awards vest. No compensation is recognized in connection with options and
warrants awarded in connection with private placements, since the share issue
costs are netted against the proceeds raised.

If shares or stock options are repurchased, the excess of the consideration paid
over the carrying value of the shares or stock options cancelled is charged to
contributed surplus or deficit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company's total revenues decreased to
$631,406 from revenues of

$907,744 generated in the year 2000. Revenues for 2001 include $357,047 due to
the acquistion of Border BioFuels Ltd. on April 6, 2001. Revenues for 2001 were
lower than for 2000 primarily due to a decline in commercial sales of its
DynaPower(R) metal cleaning systems and to general economic weakness that
affected demand for its DynaPower systems. Total revenues in 1999 were
$1,259,668. The decline of revenues in 2000 compared to 1999 was due mainly to a
decline in sales of commercial DynaPower units due to a decline in the
industrial wire sector.

In May 2001, the Company announced that it intends to focus exclusively in the
bioenergy field and on the development of BioOil and derivative products and
that it intended to divest its acid free industrial metal cleaning system for
wire manufacturing operated by its subsidiary, DynaPower, Inc., and had entered
into a Letter of Intent with DynaPower management for a potential Management
Buyout of that subsidiary. As a result, the Company generated limited commercial
sales for its DynaPower(R) systems. The spin-off of DynaPower to DynaPower
management was concluded on April 11, 2002. The Company will continue to receive
royalty income with respect to certain DynaPower patents.

The overall cost of sales in 2001 increased to $529,532 from $442,848 in 2000
resulting in a gross margin of 16.2% for 2001 as compared to 51.2% for 2000. The
decrease in overall gross margins for 2001 was due to a significant reduction in
sales margins and lower unit sales at the Company's DynaPower business unit and
due to lower margins in the Company's newly acquired Border Biofuels subsidiary
in the UK. The cost of sales in 1999 amounted to $978,136 representing a gross
margin of 22.3%. Gross margins in 2000 were higher than 1999 due to a high
margin realized from the increased selling price of actuator units and the
practice of contracting out the manufacture of the DynaPower units.

For the years 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company had expended on an annual basis
$684,895, $531,522 and $519,380 respectively, on research and development. Of
these amounts, $60,667, $284,989 and $120,041 respectively, were sponsored by
government funding. The remainder of the respective annual expenditures were
Company sponsored. The Company expects to be able to draw significantly from
government grant and loan facilities, including the Government of Canada's
Technology Partnerships Canada program both for expenditures made in 2001 and
technical and project related expenditures in 2002 and 2003. The Company's
agreement with Technology Partnerships Canada pertains to maximum funding of
C$8.235 million, of which C$2.64 million has been received as of year end 2001.

General and administrative salaries and benefits increased to $1,649,183 in 2001
from $1,331,219 in 2000. The increase in 2001 was mainly due to replacing
certain consultants with permanent personnel in the BioOil unit which was offset
to some degree by reduced staffing relating to the impending sale of DynaPower
and the Company's singular focus on its BioTherm(TM) technology during the year.
The DynaPower reorganization resulted in the elimination of majority of
DynaPower related staff positions and a significant reduction in DynaPower
related marketing and research and development activities during the year.
General and administrative salaries and benefits increased to $1,331,219 in 2000
from $917,805 in 1999. This increase was mainly due to payments of board
compensation, staff compensation, staff bonuses, overtime settlements and
consulting fees and was the direct result of increased activity in both BioOil
related activities as well as DynaPower related acitivities.

Professional fees decreased to $1,975,619 in 2001 from $2,238,846 in 2000. The
decrease was due mainly to a reduction in consultants replaced with permanent
staff and the non-renewal of certain consulting agreements. Professional fees in
2000 increased to $2,238,846 from $357,795 from year 1999 due mainly to the
additions to senior management of the Company to provide technical leadership
for the BioOil unit and to develop and execute strategies for commercializing
the BioOil technology.

Amortization and depreciation increased to $442,995 in 2001 from $312,204 in
2000 due to the addition of assets in the BioOil unit resulting mainly from the
addition and commissioning of the 10 tpd BioOil plant in 2001. There was a minor
increase in this category in 2000 to $312,204 from $292,684 in 1999.

Interest income decreased to $18,405 in 2001 from $130,898 in 2000 due to
reduced cash resources and related investments. Interest income increased to
$130,898 in 2000 from $25,126 in 1999 due to investment of funds realized from a
private placement of $3.5 million completed in February 2000.

Interest expense increased in 2001 to $174,058 from $26,523 in 2000 due mainly
to the purchase of Border BioFuels Limited. Note 10 to the Company's financial
statements provides the details on bank indebtedness. Interest expense increased
in 2000 to $26,523 from $4,020 in 1999 due to greater utilization of the
Company's credit facility with its main banker (see note 10 (i) in the financial
statements).

Marketing expense decreased slightly to $708,346 in 2001 from $723,390 in 2000
due to a reduction in the use of external assistance. Marketing expense
increased in 2000 to $723,390 from $403,593 in 1999 due to the addition of
personnel, including consulting assistance, to carry out market research and
development of markets for products from the BioOil process.

Office supplies, telephone and insurance increased to $469,697 in 2001 from
$288,956 in 2000 due to the purchase of Border BioFuels Limited. These same
expenses increased in 2000 to $288,956 from $228,529 in 1999 due to the addition
of personnel in the BioOil unit.

Rent for leased premises increased to $311,139 in 2001 from $206,914 in 2000 due
to the purchase of Border Biofuels and a full year's rent for the office in
London established in June 2000. Rent increased to $206,914 in 2000 from
$132,816 in 1999 due to the expansion of the Company's BioOil facilities in
Vancouver to accommodate the construction and operation of the 10tpd unit and
establishment of a new office in London, U.K.

Currency exchange loss in 2001 amounted to $40,989 compared to a gain of $67,815
in 2000 due to the purchase of Border BioFuels Limited. The exchange gain
increased in 2000 to $67,815 from $10,979 in 1999.

Loss on the write-down of long-term assets was $585,078 in 2001. No write-down
occurred in 2000 or 1999. The DynaPower division assets totaling $175,037 were
written-off as future recovery was uncertain and BioLime assets in the amount of
$148,813 were written off because the Company's current focus is in the
application of BioOil for energy and there are no immediate plans to further
develop the BioLime technology.

Overall capital expenditures, net of government grants and disposal, used for
developing and patenting the Company's technologies decreased to $1,288,973 in
2001 from $1,450,867 in 2000. A portion of the capital expenditures in the year
2000 was related to acquisition of patents in exchange for the Company's Common
Shares. Capital expenditures on the Company's DynaPower technology decreased to
$18,412 in 2001 from $111,557 in 2000. The decrease resulted from reduced
activity in this division following the Company's announcement of its intent
sell this division and focus on its BioTherm(TM) technology. Capital
expenditures for the BioTherm(TM) technology increased to $1,225,304 in 2001
from $1,110,863 in 2000. The increase included capital expenditures for its
BioOil Power Generation unit of $790,622 in 2001 related to development of a 100
tpd BioOil installation in the U.K. A majority of the decrease in the
BioTherm(TM) capital expenditures was due to the completion of the majority of
the construction of the 10 tpd demonstration plant in 2000, resulting in only
limited capital expenditures being required in 2001 during commissioning of the
facility. Capital expenditures for its BioOil Power Generation unit were
$790,622 in 2001 related to the development of a 100 tpd BioOil installation in
the U.K. This capital expenditure was made by the Company's 75% owned
subsidiary, Border Biofuels Ltd., which was acquired in 2001.

Overall capital expenditures, net of government grants and disposal, for
developing and patenting the Company's technologies increased to $1,450,867 in
2000 from $95,369 in 1999 due mainly to the expenditure of $1,110,863 on
construction of the 10 tpd BioOil unit during 2000. Capital expenditures on
developing the Company's DynaPower technology increased to $111,557 from $41,775
over the same year-to-year interval due to the construction of new demonstration
equipment for marketing purposes and due to patent legal fees.

The Company's total assets increased to $6,454,399 at the end of 2001 from
$4,469,120 at the end of 2000, due mainly to the purchase of Border BioFuels
Ltd. in the U.K. Capital assets increased to $2,202,100 in 2001 from $1,526,369
in 2000 due to expenditures on the development of the 100 tpd BioOil plant.
Also, the purchase of Border Biofuels Ltd. in 2001 resulted in the addition of
power purchase agreements with the U.K. government (see note 4 to the
consolidated financial statements) amounting to $3,497,552. Current Liabilities
increased to $2,437,080 at the end of 2001 from $898,374 at the end of 2000 due
almost entirely to an increase in bank debt and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities of Border BioFuels Ltd. in the amounts of $1,627,000 and $1,250,000,
respectively. Long-term liabilities were $2,582,556 at the end of 2001, there
were no long-term liabilities at the end of 2000. The

long-term liabilities are attributable solely to the acquisition of Border
BioFuels Ltd.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded a net operating
loss of $6,838,264 , compared to a net operating loss of $4,756,873 for the year
2000. The increase in operating loss in 2001 as compared to 2000 was primarily
attributable to (i) an increase in cost of sales, (ii) an increase in
professional fees, (iii) net loss from BBL, and (iv) the write-down of long-term
assets. The net operating loss in 2001 reflected professional fees totaling
$1,975,619, the majority of which, $1,591,381 were non-cash amounts paid in
shares. The non-cash professional fees in 2000 were $1,906,884. During the year
ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded a net operating loss of
$2,444,931. The increase in operating loss in 2000 as compared to 1999 is
primarily attributable to (i) an increase in professional fees, (ii) an increase
in financing costs, (iii) an increase in marketing costs, and (iv) an increase
in general and administrative expenses.

The basic and diluted loss per common share increased to eighteen cents ($0.18)
for the year 2001 from fifteen cents ($0.15) for the year 2000. The loss per
common share for the year 1999 was twelve cents ($0.12). The increase in basic
and diluted loss per share for 2001 and 2000 was due to both the increase in the
loss for each year and the increase in the weighted average number of Common
Shares outstanding from 21,255,666 shares in 1999 to 32,707,858 in 2000 and
37,250,303 in 2001.

MAJOR TRANSACTIONS

In April 2001, the Company acquired 75% of the outstanding Common Shares of
Border Biofuels Limited ("BBL"), a United Kingdom Green Power project
development company for a nominal cash consideration of $2 plus acquisition cost
of $70,241.

The Company has the option to acquire the remaining 25% equity interest in BBL
for $1,609,173 payable in DynaMotive stock at the greater of $3.00 per share or
the prevailing market price. If the prevailing market price is less than $3.00
per share, the Company has the option to pay the difference in value in either
cash or equity of the Company. In each fiscal period, the Company can acquire
from the minority shareholders in BBL the number of shares having an aggregate
share value equal to 25% of the profit of BBL

Furthermore, as part of the transaction, BBL restructured its bank indebtedness
with the Bank of Scotland into an extended credit facility of $1,687,788, see
(note 10[iii] to the consolidated financial statements). This extended credit
facility will be repaid from profits generated by BBL. Further in connection
with the acquisition, the Company provided a guarantee of $290,300 to the Bank
of Scotland in relation to an overdraft facility which was also restructured at
acquisition (note 10[a][ii] to the consolidated financial statements).

BBL also has an extended credit facility agreement with the Bank of Scotland for
a maximum of $1,687,788. The principal amount must be repaid together with
accrued interest by March 30, 2004 or earlier from audited available profits, as
defined by the terms of the facility, generated in BBL and its subsidiaries
prepared in accordance with UK GAAP. Amounts repaid may not be redrawn.

Interest is charged at the bank's base rate (currently 4%) plus 3% and will
accrue on a daily basis throughout the duration of the term of the facility. The
interest is payable on the earlier of the March 30, 2004 or date of demand,
repayment or termination of the facility. Accrued interest of $121,520 is
included in current liabilities.

The Company has provided the following security:

(a) Floating charges on BBL and its subsidiaries
(b) Assignment of key man life insurance policies on certain directors and
officers of BBL
(c) Guarantees by BBL and its subsidiaries
(d) Liens on tangible assets held by Dynamotive Europe Ltd.

As of December 31, 2001, $1,665,788 has been drawn down on the credit facility.
The fair market value of the loan on December 31, 2001 approximates its carrying
value because it bears a current market interest rate.

Covenants under the credit facility include, among others, a requirement for the
BBL to obtain written consent prior to declaring dividends, significantly
changing ownership control, committing to mergers, acquisitions, or changes in
BBL's principal line of business, changing the auditors, or providing other
guarantees or entering contingent liabilities or further encumbering assets.

In addition, six Directors of BBL were owed an aggregate of (pound)112,208
(approximately US$162,870) as at the date of the acquisition; this amount is
payable, without interest, on condition that BBL attains net positive profit
after deduction of accumulated liabilities and may be converted into DynaMotive
shares at the higher of $3.00 per share or the average share price, as set out
in the acquisition agreement. This debt will be repaid from profits generated by
BBL and has no recourse, other than the aforementioned (pound)200,000
(approximately US$290,300) guarantee, to DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation
or DynaMotive Europe Ltd.

The Company's subsidiary, BBL has a loan agreement with two of its directors
totaling $323,780. The loan agreement expires six months after repayment. The
loan bears interest at annual LIBOR rate plus 3.5% calculated monthly. The loan,
is repayable upon BBL achieving positive relevant profit under UK GAAP. Relevant
profit is defined as the amount obtained by deducting the accumulated
liabilities from the retained profit, at any given time.

In May 2001, DynaMotive entered into a strategic alliance agreement with a major
South American based engineering firm, Tecna SA to develop commercial energy
systems based on DynaMotive's pyrolysis technology. The agreement provides for
an investment by Tecna in the equity of DynaMotive along with a commitment by
Tecna to provide large scale technical support. The alliance also contemplates
establishment of a joint technical committee for the scale-up integration and
construction supervision of projects worldwide. In addition to cash invested by
Tecna and Tecna partners, the services to be provided by Tecna have an estimated
fair market value of $580,000 based on standard Tecna billing rates and are
payable by the Company by the issuance of 425,000 Common Shares and warrants to
purchase 212,500 Common Shares exercisable at $1.50 per common share (adjusted
for market prices annually) and the payment of $240,000 in cash.

In October 2001, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with
EcoSecurities Inc., an environmental investment and advisory firm that
specializes in services to facilitate innovative environmental finance solutions
for renewable energy and other environmentally sustainable processes. The
agreement provides for a commitment from EcoSecurities to develop traditional
and innovative, environmental finance strategies to assist DynaMotive in
creating value for its greenhouse-gas-neutral, renewable biomass energy
technology. The alliance also contemplates the quantification and transacting of
emissions reductions from the Company's projects worldwide. Commencing October
1, 2001, the services to be provided by EcoSecurities have an estimated fair
market value of $385,000 per annum based on standard EcoSecurities billing
rates. The aggregate amounts are payable in the Company's Common Shares for a
total of 313,333 Common Shares and 156,666 warrants exercisable at the higher of
$1.50 per common share or 50% of the established value for the Common Shares for
the relevant period, and the payment of $150,000 in cash. The agreement also
contemplates that EcoSecurities may draw on its client base to raise corporate
equity and project specific funds for the Company on a best efforts and
non-exclusive basis; EcoSecurities would be paid certain fees (similar to
industry standards) based on the funds actually raised.

half of a common share. The warrants have a two-year term, subject to
acceleration under certain circumstances, and are exercisable at a per share
price equal to $1.50. A total of 1,038,749 Common Shares and 519,375 warrants

suppliers and consultants in 2001 totaling $1,322,303; a nominal increase from
the year 2000 total of $1,075,452 (see note 11(j) to the consolidated financial
statements for more details).

With the current cash on hand and anticipated sales revenue, the Company
anticipates that it will require additional funding for its continued operations
and the commercialization of its BioThermTM technologies throughout the year
2002. Given market conditions and other factors, there can be no guarantee that
the Company will be successful in securing additional finance. If adequate funds
are not available on acceptable terms when needed, the Company may be required
to delay, scale-back or eliminate the manufacturing, marketing or sales of one
or more of its products or research and development programs.

The Company's 2002 financing plan is structured to enable construction of the
Company's first commercial scale BioOil manufacturing facilities. The core of
the strategy surrounds market and project based equity financing that minimizes
equity dilution while raising sufficient capital for operations and projects.

The Company expects to complete in April, 2002 a $1.25 million staged, equity
private placement that was entered into in November 2001. A total of $848,500
has been received since the private placement commenced. Also a $500,000 private
placement, where the offering period began in early February, is expected to
culminate in April, 2002. The Company has received subscription funds of
$276,000 with respect to this financing. In addition, in February 2002, the
Company executed a subscription agreement with one of its core investors in the
Company, Neoventi Technology Corporation, for a staged private placement
totaling $1.6 million that commenced in March 2002. Subscription funds of
$63,684 have been received by the Company since the funding commenced.

In addition to contemplated equity offerings, the Company expects to be able to
draw significantly from government grant and loan facilities, including the
Government of Canada'sTechnology Partnerships program both for expenditures made
in 2001 and technical and project related expenditures in 2002. The Company
expects to draw in 2002 a significant portion of the $3.5 million remaining in
the TPC project funding. In addition, the Company expects to draw a significant
portion of the $1.1 million funds remaining in the contribution agreement with
the Department of Trade and Industry in the U.K.

The Company's funding plan for 2002 is structured so that equity placements
explained above will maintain the operations for the next twelve months.
Additionally, the Company contemplates a private placement and project finance
strategy with EcoSecuties Ltd. which, with government contributions and other
project funding is expected to fund the two commercial demonstration projects
which are expected to commence construction during the second and third quarters
in 2002. Any delay in securing the project funding for a project will delay the
start of the

construction of that project.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest
rates and foreign currencies.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The Company has operations in Canada, the U.S. and the United Kingdom, and
therefore the Company is subject to risks typical of an international business
including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in
political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions
and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, the Company's future results
could be materially adversely affected by changes in these or other factors.

The Company can be adversely affected when the Canadian currency appreciates.
Management has the ability, to some extent, to time the exchange and enter into
forward exchange contracts in an attempt to mitigate such risk. The Company's
financial statements are reported in U.S. currency. When translating the
Company's financial statements from Canadian dollars and British pounds to U.S.
currency, depending on the prevailing exchange rate at the time, some of the
impact from prior exchange transactions may be off-set. The extent of the
Company's exposure depends on the degree of fluctuation in foreign currencies.
Due to the nature of foreign currency exchange, the exact exposure is difficult
to estimate.

The Company's sales and corresponding receivables are substantially in UK pounds
sterling and U.S. dollars, while the majority of its expenses are in Canadian
and U.S. dollars. The Company holds cash in both U.S., Canadian and U.K. funds,
and exchanges from U.S. currency to Canadian and U.K. currency as necessary.
Through operations in Canada, the U.S. and the UK, the Company incurs research
and development and administrative expenses in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars,
UK pounds sterling and potentially other foreign currencies. The Company is
exposed, in the normal course of business, to foreign currency risks on any
non-Canadian dollar expenditures. The Company has evaluated its exposure to
these risks and has determined that the only significant foreign currency
exposure at this time is to the U.S. dollar and UK pound sterling; through
receipt of proceeds of U.S. dollar denominated share offerings and through the
operations of the Company's UK based subsidiary. At this time, the Company does
not believe the exposure to other currency fluctuations is material.

The Company uses forward contracts to minimize the risks associated with
transactions originating in U.S. dollars. The Company has not designated these
forward contracts to be hedging instruments from accounting purposes.

In addition to the use of foreign exchange forward contracts noted above, from
time to time the Company may also purchase Canadian dollars in the open market
and hold these funds in order to satisfy forecasted operating needs in Canadian
dollars for the next operating period, which is generally limited to six months
or less.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had sold forward a nominal amount of
$390,500 of U.S. currency against Canadian dollar. The Company can close this
contract at any time at its option either by delivering U.S.$390,500 against
receipt of Canadian dollars, or by delivering or receiving Canadian dollars
representing the difference in value of the current Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar
exchange rate versus the rate of the forward agreement. During the year ended
December 31, 2001, we recorded a foreign exchange gain of $40,989 compared to a
loss of $67,815 in the prior year from the unhedged portion of our foreign
currency exposure.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company invests its cash in a variety of short-term financial instruments,
including bank deposits, commercial paper and money market instruments. Our
portfolio is diversified and consists primarily of investment grade securities
to minimize credit risk. These investments are typically denominated in U.S.
dollars. Cash balances in other foreign currencies are operating balances and
are only invested in demand or short-term deposits of the local operating bank.

Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments
carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair
market value adversely impacted because of a rise in interest rates, while
floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates
fall. Due in part to these factors, the Company's future investment income may
fall short of expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer
losses in principal if forced to sell securities which have seen a decline in
market value because of changes in interest rates.

The Company's investments are made in accordance with an investment policy
approved by our Board of Directors. Under this policy, all short term
investments must be made in investment grade securities with original maturities
of less than one year at the time of acquisition.

The Company does not attempt to reduce or eliminate its investment exposure to
interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments due to
the short-term nature of the Company's investments. Based on a sensitivity
analysis performed on the balances as of December 31, 2001, the fair value of
short term investments would not be significantly impacted by either a 100 basis
point increase or decrease in interest rates.

Both the Company and the Company's UK subsidiary have bank loans outstanding.
The Company's Canadian bank loans are denominated in Canadian dollars and the
Company's UK subsidiary's bank debts are denominated in UK pounds sterling.

ITEM 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of
DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation
(formally DynaMotive Technologies Corporation)

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of DynaMotive Energy Systems
Corporation as at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated statements of
loss and deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period
ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian and U.S. generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to
obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.

In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the company as at December 31, 2001
and 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years in the three year period ended December 31, 2001 in accordance with
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles . As required by the Company
Act (British Columbia), we report that, in our opinion, these principles have
been applied, except for the change in the method of accounting for earnings per
share, and income taxes as explained in note 3, on a consistent basis. As
discussed in note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company
retroactively changed its accounting policy for earnings per share.

Comments by Auditor on Canada-United States Reporting Difference

United States reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an
explanatory paragraph when the financial statements are affected by conditions
and events that cast substantial doubt on the company's ability to continue as a
going concern, such as those described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
Although we conducted our audits in accordance with both Canadian generally
accepted auditing standards and United States generally accepted auditing
standards, our report to the shareholders dated April 12, 2001 is expressed in
accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to
such conditions and events in the auditor's' report when these are adequately
disclosed in the financial statements.

DYNAMOTIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS CORPORATION

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001 (expressed in U.S. dollars)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of business

DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated on April
11, 1991 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company changed
its name from Dynamotive Technologies Corporation on June 26, 2001. Since its
inception the Company has been engaged in the process of commercializing several
technologies that are in various stages of development.

The Company's primary focus is to commercialize its patented BioOil production
technology and establish this technology as the worldwide industry standard for
production of BioOil clean fuels. With the recent acquisition of Border Biofuels
Limited ("BBL"), the Company will gain access to BioOil fuelled power purchase
agreements in the United Kingdom ("UK") for a 15-year period. The Company has
developed, patented, or acquired three primary technologies: (1) BioTherm(TM), a
biomass-to-energy technology that converts low value forest waste and
agricultural by-products into liquid BioOil, which can be used as a fuel or as a
raw material for the production of various derivative products; (2)
DynaPower(R), a metal cleaning process that does not involve the use of
chemicals; and (3) actuator technologies used in both steel and aluminum
welding. To date, the Company's principal revenues have been derived from the
sales of the actuators, sales of DynaPower(R) systems for various customer
applications, forest harvesting services and consulting services. The principal
market for the Company's metal cleaning business is in the United States and
Europe, while the principal market for near term BioOil related business is in
the UK and Canada.

In May 2001, the Company announced its intention to divest its metal cleaning
subsidiary, DynaPower, Inc. to focus all of its resources on its BioOil
production technology. This divestiture was completed April 11, 2002 (note 8).

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which
presumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.

As at December 31, 2001, the Company has a working capital deficiency of
$2,069,212, has incurred a net loss of $6,838,264 for the year-ended December
31, 2001, and has an accumulated deficit of $25,773,048.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is uncertain and is
dependent on achieving profitable operations, commercializing its BioTherm(TM)
technology and continuing development of new technologies, the outcome of which
cannot be predicted at this time. Accordingly, the Company will require, for the
foreseeable future, ongoing capital infusions in order to continue its
operations, fund its research and development activities, and ensure orderly
realization of its assets at their carrying value. The consolidated financial
statements do not reflect adjustments in carrying values and classifications of
assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company not be able to
continue in the normal course of operations.

The Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing twelve months
and therefore must rely on securing additional funds from government sources and
by the issuance of shares of the Company for cash consideration. The Company has
received commitments from the Canadian and UK governments (note 17) and
subsequent to the year-end, the Company has received a subscription agreement
for up to $1.6 million in equity financing (note 21(b)).

DYNAMOTIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS CORPORATION

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001 (expressed in U.S. dollars)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. A
reconciliation of amounts presented in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles is detailed in (note 20).

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the
preparation of these consolidated financial statements:

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries DynaMotive Corporation, incorporated under the
laws of Rhode Island, U.S.A.; DynaMotive Europe Limited (formerly known as
DynaMotive Technologies (UK) Limited), incorporated under the laws of the United
Kingdom; DynaMotive Canada Inc., federally incorporated under the laws of
Canada; DynaPower Inc., incorporated under the laws of British Columbia;
DynaMotive Puerto Rico, Inc., incorporated under the laws of Puerto Rico;
DynaMill Systems Ltd. (1997 - 70% owned) and DynaMotive Electrochem Corporation,
incorporated under the laws of British Columbia. The consolidated financial
statements also include 75% of BBL , incorporated under the law of United
Kingdom, acquired through DynaMotive Europe Limited during 2001 (note 4).
DynaMotive Electrochem Corporation, and DynaMotive Puerto Rico, Inc. are
companies with no significant net assets or operations.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign currency translation

The accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are measured using
the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. Monetary items denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated using
historical exchange rates. Exchange gains or losses arising on the translation
or settlement of foreign currency denominated monetary items are included in the
determination of net income.

The Company uses the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency for its consolidated
financial statements. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars
using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and
expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate during the year.
Gains and losses resulting from this process are recorded in shareholders'
equity as an adjustment to the cumulative translation adjustment account.

Financial derivatives

Forward currency derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts,
are used from time to time to manage the effects of exchange rate changes on
foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on forward foreign exchange
contracts are not recognized until realized and are then charged to income on a
basis that corresponds with changes in the related amounts of foreign currency
expenses.

DYNAMOTIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS CORPORATION

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001 (expressed in U.S. dollars)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.)

Revenue recognition

(a) Revenue from the sale of products is recognized upon shipment of the
product to the customer.

(b) Revenue from contracts relating to implementation of the Company's
metal cleaning systems in a commercial application is recognized on a
completed contract basis, except for those which are greater than
three months in duration, for which revenue is recognized on a
percentage of completion basis where the basis of measure of
performance is based on engineering estimates of completion. Losses on
contracts are recognized when they become known.

Government assistance and investment tax credits

Investment tax credits are accounted for under the cost reduction method whereby
they are netted against the expense or capital asset to which they relate.
Investment tax credits are recorded when the Company has incurred the qualifying
expenditures and there is reasonable assurance the tax credits will be realized.

Inventory

Inventory comprises work in progress relating to the Company's products under
construction and is recorded at the lower of average cost and net realizable
value. Inventory work in progress costs include the cost of raw materials,
direct labor and overhead.

Research and development costs

Product warranties

DYNAMOTIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS CORPORATION

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001 (expressed in U.S. dollars)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.)A liability for estimated warranty
expense is established by a charge against cost of goods sold. The subsequent
costs incurred for warranty claims serve to reduce the product warranty
liability.

Patents

Patents are recorded at cost, including related legal costs, and are amortized
over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the related technology and the
life of the patent commencing with commercial production. If management
determines that development of products to which patent costs relate is not
reasonably certain, or that costs exceed recoverable value, such costs are
charged to operations. Due to the long-term nature of estimates inherent in
determining future cash flows, it is possible that the amounts or the estimated
useful life of such assets could be reduced in the future.

Capital assets

Capital assets are recorded at cost, net of government assistance, and amortized
using the following methods and annual rates:

Furniture, fixtures & office equipment 20% declining balance
Computer equipment 30% declining balance
Computer software 100% declining balance
Test equipment 20% declining balance
Leasehold improvements Straight line over the term of the lease
Motor vehicle 50% in the first year and 25% thereafter, declining balance

Annually, or more frequently as circumstances require, the Company performs
periodic evaluations to assess the recoverability of its capital assets. In
2001, the Company determined that write-downs of the carrying values of certain
assets were required (note 6).

Capital Assets Under Construction

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001 (expressed in U.S. dollars)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd.)

Annually, or more frequently as circumstances require, the Company performs
periodic evaluations to assess the recoverability of its capital assets under
construction.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents are recorded at the amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Financial instruments

The fair values of the financial instruments approximate their carrying value
except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements.

Income taxes

The Company follows the liability method of tax allocation in accounting for
income taxes.

Power purchase agreements

Power purchase agreements are recorded at purchased cost and are amortized over
the remaining contract life of the agreements commencing with commercial
production. If management determines the carrying value exceeds estimated
recoverable value, such costs are charged to operations.

Stock based compensation plan

The Company has two stock based compensation plans - a stock appreciation rights
(SAR) plan and a stock option plan for directors, employees and others, which
are described in (note 11). Under the terms of the stock option plan the Company
may grant fixed options or options whose vesting is contingent on future
performance. No compensation is recognized when SAR's and fixed or performance
based stock options are granted to employees and directors.

The Company may also issue stock options, SARs and warrants as consideration for
services rendered by non-employees. Such equity awards are recorded at their
fair value, as compensation expense or capitalized to capital

assets under construction when the Company receives the related services and the
equity awards vest. No compensation is recognized in connection with options and
warrants awarded in connection with private placements, since the share issue
costs are netted against the proceeds raised.

If shares or stock options are repurchased, the excess of the consideration paid
over the carrying value of the shares or stock options cancelled is charged to
contributed surplus or deficit.

Loss per common share

Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the year. The effect of potential issues of shares under share
option, share purchase warrants and conversion agreements have not been
disclosed, as they are antidilutive.

3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company early adopted the new recommendations of
the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook with respect to
accounting for exchange gains or losses arising on the translation or settlement
related to long-term monetary items. The change in accounting policy was applied
retroactively and resulted in no adjustment as at January 1, 2000 and had no
impact on fiscal 2001 and 2000.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company retroactively adopted the new
recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook with
respect to the presentation and disclosure of earnings per share. The change in
accounting policy resulted in an increase in basic and diluted loss common per
share of $0.01 for each of 2000 and 1999.

Effective January 1, 2000, the Company retroactively adopted the new
recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook with
respect to accounting for income taxes under the liability method. As permitted
under the new rules, the prior period financial statements have not been
restated. The change in accounting policy resulted in no adjustment at January
1, 2000 and had no impact on fiscal 2000.

4. ACQUISITION OF BORDER BIOFUELS

On April 6, 2001, the Company acquired 75% of the outstanding common shares of
Border Biofuels Limited ("BBL"), a United Kingdom Green Power project
development company for a nominal cash consideration of $2 ((pound)1) plus
acquisition cost of $70,241 ((pound)49,537).

The Company has the option to acquire the remaining 25% equity interest in BBL
for $1,609,173 ((pound)1,108,628) payable in DynaMotive stock at the greater of
$3.00 per share or the prevailing market price. If the prevailing market price
is less than $3.00 per share, the Company has the option to pay the difference
in value in either cash or equity of the Company. In each fiscal period, the
Company can acquire from the minority shareholders in BBL the number of shares
having an aggregate share value equal to 25% of the relevant profit of BBL
calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom
("UK GAAP"). Relevant profit is defined as the amount obtained by deducting the
accumulated liabilities from the retained profit, at any given time. The option
expires after the Company acquires all of the remaining 25% equity interest in
BBL.

Furthermore, as part of the transaction, BBL restructured its bank indebtedness
with the Bank of Scotland into an extended credit facility of $1,687,788
((pound)1,162,789), (note 10[iii]). This extended credit facility will be repaid
from profits generated by BBL. Further, in connection with the acquisition, the
Company provided a guarantee of $290,030 ((pound)200,000) to the Bank of
Scotland in relation to an overdraft facility which was also restructured at
acquisition (note 10[ii]).

The acquisition of BBL was accounted for using the purchase method. The
consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operation of BBL from
the date of acquisition through December 31, 2001. The consideration paid has

reduce the cost of test equipment and $612,983 (2000 - $283,983) has been
applied to reduce the cost of capital assets under construction. For 2001,
Capital assets under construction comprise the costs to construct a 100 ton per
day BioOil plant. In 2000, capital assets under construction comprised the costs
to construct a 10 ton per day BioOil plant. The 10 ton per day BioOil plant was
substantially complete and ready for its intended use at the end of the first
quarter of 2001. The costs incurred in the prior year have been reclassified to
test equipment.

In 2001, the Company recorded write-downs of capital assets totaling $323,850,
including $148,813 for capital assets pertaining to the BioLime segment and
$175,037 for capital assets pertaining to the DynaPower segment. The Company
determined that the development of commercially viable BioLime products was
uncertain and therefore, the carrying value of these assets has been written
down to $nil. The DynaPower capital assets are held for disposal and the Company
has written down the carrying value of these capital assets to their net
realizable value of $1 (note 8).

7. PATENTS

In 2001, the Company has recorded write-downs of patents totaling $261,228,
including $181,531 for BioLime patents, $72,514 for Actuator patents and $7,183
for other patents. The Company has determined that the development of
commercially viable uses for the products to which the costs for the BioLime,
Actuator and other patents relate was uncertain and therefore, the costs related
to these patents have been charged to operations.

During 2000, the Company acquired exclusive rights to a technology patent from a
related party owned by a Director of the Company in exchange for 1,000,000
shares of common stock. Of the total 1,000,000 common stock, 750,000 shares were
subject to a trading restriction until the earlier of March 9, 2002, and the
date at which the 10 ton per day BioOil plant was fully commissioned which
occurred at the end of the first quarter in 2001. The patent was capitalized in
fiscal 2000 at $250,000; the fair value of the shares at the date the agreement
was approved by the Board of Directors.

Patents are shown net of accumulated amortization at December 31, 2001 of
$355,977 (2000 - $469,341).

8. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

In May 2001, the Company announced its intention to divest its metal cleaning
subsidiary, DynaPower, Inc. to the management of DynaPower for nominal
consideration of $1 and future royalties on all revenue of DynaPower Systems.
This divestiture was completed April 11, 2002.

The divestiture entails all tangible assets of the DynaPower division, which
consist of test equipment, furniture and equipment, to be transferred to the new
owners upon closing of the sale. The Company retains ownership of the
intellectual property related to the metal cleaning technology and will license
the intellectual property to DynaPower, Inc. The license entitles the Company to
receive royalties for seven years from the closing of the sales agreement. The
royalties are based on an increasing percentage of the cumulative revenues
generated by DynaPower, Inc. on sales of DynaPower systems over the royalty
period.

The intellectual property will transfer from the Company to DynaPower, Inc. at
the expiration of the royalty period only if a cumulative sales threshold is
reached. Irrespective of whether the cumulative sales threshold is reached,
royalty payments will continue to the end of the royalty period.

The Company has determined that as at December 31, 2001, the realizable value of
the tangible assets in DynaPower is uncertain due to their specialized nature,
and therefore, their total carrying value of $175,037 has been written off.

December 31,2001 (expressed in U.S.dollars)

11. SHARE CAPITAL (cont'd.)

At December 31, 2001, the Company has 1,251,919 common shares (2000 -
378,883, 1999 - 77,147) to be issued. Included in the amount is 172,399
common shares which are to be issued to a director and non-employees for
services rendered under compensation arrangements.

The remaining 1,037,696 common shares relate to a private placement
commenced during the fourth quarter of 2001. The private placement is for
up to $1.25 million payable in five equal installments at an offering price
equal to the higher of $0.40 per subscribed share or 75% of average of the
closing price of the Company's common shares up to a maximum of $0.50 per
share. At December 31, 2001, the Company had received $479,026 in cash for
these shares to be issued (note 21(a)).

[d] Convertible debentures

Pursuant to a private placement in the second quarter of 1998, the Company
issued 387.5 units, each unit comprised of a $10,000 convertible subordinate
debenture, bearing an 8% interest rate with the principal and accrued interest
due December 31, 1998. The debentures were convertible into common shares at a
price equivalent to a 35% discount from the 5-day average of the common share's
reported bid price preceding the conversion election at any time by the
debenture holder. The Company received gross proceeds of $3,875,000 less
associated issue costs of $568,350. Upon maturity, the Company had the option of
repaying the debenture's principal and accrued interest in either cash or by
forcing conversion under the debenture's normal conversion rate. Accordingly,
the Company originally classified the convertible debentures as equity.

In 1998, the Company issued 2,431,870 common shares upon conversions of $915,000
in convertible debentures and accrued interest of $28,905. The amount credited
to share capital was net of related convertible debenture issue costs of
$134,204. Conversion prices ranged from $0.203 to $0.837 per common share. In
1998, $215,630 of issue costs were expensed and $173,222 of accrued interest
which was forgiven was credited to the deficit.

In October 1998, the Company suspended the conversion of the debentures and in
February 1999 reached a settlement with the debenture holders. Pursuant to the
terms of the settlement agreement, the Company was required to repay 50% of the
principal amount of the outstanding convertible debenture amounting to
$1,480,000 and issue common shares for the remaining balance of $1,480,000 on
the basis of one common share for each $0.50 of principal.

As a result of the settlement, $1,480,000 of the principal amount of the
convertible debentures was repaid in 1999. An amendment to the settlement,
agreed to in 1999, resulted in an additional $114,807 being paid to certain
debenture holders in cash instead of shares. The remaining $1,365,193, was
repaid with common shares and has been classified as a component of
shareholders' equity, less the applicable share issue costs of $218,516 which
were paid in the year ended December 31, 1998.

[e] Escrow agreement

At December 31, 1998, 1,232,000 common shares were held in escrow to be released
at a rate of one share for each $0.17 of "cash flow" as defined in the
agreement, generated by the Company.

During 1999, the Board approved an amendment to the Escrow agreement's release
provisions that applied to 676,000 of the shares held in escrow. The amended
release provisions are: 1/3 of the common shares in escrow will be released upon
the Company achieving a capitalized stock value of $30 million for a consistent
twenty day trading period; 1/3 of

Contingencies

DYNAMOTIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS CORPORATION

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001 (expressed in U.S. dollars)

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (cont'd)

In the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently
liable for litigation and claims with customers, suppliers and former employees.
Management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded in the accounts
where required. Although it is not possible to estimate the extent of potential
costs and losses, if any,

management believes that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the
Company.

[a] In 1996 the Company was named as a co-defendant in a legal action for
unspecified damages for alleged interference with the rights to a
disintegration technology held by a subsidiary of the Company. The outcome
of the action is not determinable at this time and the amount of any
liability, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, no
provision for loss has been made in these consolidated financial
statements. There has been no activities with the legal action for five
years.

[b] The Company is a party to a legal proceeding filed by HPG Research Ltd for
an alleged breach of a royalty agreement and a potential claim of a certain
percentage of DynaPower sales. The parties have agreed to proceed with
arbitration, as provided for under the agreement. The outcome of the action
is not determinable at this time and the amount of contingent liability, if
any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, no provision for loss has
been made in these consolidated financial statements.

[c] BBL has entered into an agreement with Arran Estates for the assignment of
a power purchase agreement. In exchange for the assignment, BBL would pay
$26,127 ((pound)18,000). The assignment is conditional on consent by the
relevant regulatory agencies. The likelihood of consent for the assignment
is certain and final approval is anticipated shortly. As at December, 31,
2001, the Company has accrued for the contingent liability.

[d] BBL entered into an option that gave it the right to purchase tangible
property with respect to one of its power purchase agreements. The
agreement also made the provision that at any time after August 31, 2001,
provided that BBL has not exercised its right, should the owner of such
property elect to sell to another third party then BBL would be obligated
to pay the difference between the price obtained and the price paid by the
owner in August, 2000 plus associated costs. BBL did not exercise the
option and as a result a contingent liability may exist. The likelihood of
the property being sold to a third party is not determinable and the amount
of a contingent liability, if any, is not determinable nor is it considered
material at this time.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations and
are recorded at amounts established and agreed between the related parties. In
addition to the transactions described in notes 7 and 11, the Company had the
following transactions with related parties:

[a] Consulting fees and salaries of $768,336 for the year ended December 31,
2001 (2000 - $793,000; 1999 - $256,122) have been paid to Directors (or
companies controlled by Directors) of the Company. Included in the amount
above, is $371,669 (2000 - $139,700) paid by stock based compensation (note
11b(iv)).

[b] The Company's subsidiary, BBL has a loan agreement with two of its
directors totaling $323,780 ((pound)231,012). The loan agreement expires
after repayment. The loan bears interest at annual LIBOR rate plus 3.5%
calculated monthly. The loan, is repayable upon BBL achieving positive
relevant profit under UK GAAP. Relevant profit

DYNAMOTIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS CORPORATION

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2001 (expressed in U.S. dollars)

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Cont'd)

is defined as the amount obtained by deducting the accumulated liabilities from
the retained profit, at any given time.

[c] BBL also has loan agreements with certain shareholders totaling, $159,635
((pound)109,979). The loan agreements expire after repayment. The loans are
repayable upon BBL achieving net positive relevant profit under UK GAAP.
The loans are payable in the Company's common shares at the greater of
$3.00 per share or the prevailing market price. If the prevailing market
price is less than $3.00 per share, the Company has the option to pay the
difference in value in either cash or equity of the Company. In each fiscal
period, the Company must repay up to the relevant profit, as determined
under UK GAAP, of BBL in that fiscal period. Relevant profit in this
agreement has the same meaning as that described above. As of December 31,
2001, the outstanding loan amount is $159,635 ((pound)109,979).

[d] The Company has entered into:

[i] royalty agreement, pursuant to an agreement to purchase certain
patents for an unlimited term with a company controlled by a previous
Director of the Company, based on 4% of the gross receipts from unit
sales. No sales have occurred to date.

[ii] royalty agreement during 1993, pursuant to the use of certain
proprietary information, with a company controlled by a former officer
of the Company to pay the greater of $7,100 in 1996 and increasing by
$3,600 each subsequent anniversary or 10% of the net proceeds of the
sale of the components, for each anniversary date, developed from
certain proprietary information for an unlimited term. If the Company
fails to make a payment as required, it will forfeit all rights
relating to the agreement including any patents or sub-licenses to
third parties. No royalty expense has been recorded for 2001 (2000 -
$21,612; 1999 - $18,000). In 2001, the Company purchased the rights to
the proprietary information in exchange for 25,000 shares fair valued
at $15,500 .

[iii] The Company entered into a 24 month consulting and research
agreement, expiring February 9, 2002, with a company controlled by a
director of the Company. Included in research and development expenses
are fees of $90,387 (2000 - $110,000) to this related party. The
Company has paid the fees with equity fair valued at $51,650 and the
balance in cash .

14. LOSSES AND UNUSED DEDUCTIONS CARRIED FORWARD FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES

Future income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company has recognized a
valuation allowance for those future tax assets for which it is more likely than
not that realization will not occur. Significant components of the Company's
future tax assets as of December 31 are as follows:

17. GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE (cont'd)

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company's subsidiary BBL entered into a
contribution agreement with Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), a department
of the United Kingdom government, whereby BBL and its collaboration partners are
entitled to receive $1,685,627 ((pound)1,161,300) under the New & Renewable
Energy Programme for eligible costs between January 9, 2001 and July 8, 2003.
The contribution agreement is for the construction of a 100 ton per day BioOil
plant. The Company' subsidiaries, Dynamotive Europe Ltd. and BBL, and an
unrelated third party are named as collaboration partners to the program. Except
for the proceeds from disposing of project assets, the contribution is non
repayable. During 2001, $612,983 has been claimed; all of which has been
received as at December 31, 2001. In addition, the Company received $319,739
((pound)221,841) under this contribution agreement which represents eligible
expenditures incurred by a third party collaborator. The amount is not repayable
to the third party collaborator. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the
amounts received as a deferred credit and will amortize the amount into income
when the project commences operations.

In 2000, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with Natural
Resources Canada whereby the Company is entitled to receive a maximum of
$168,325 (Cdn - $250,000) as defined in the agreement. The contribution is
non-repayable. In 2000, $168,325 was claimed of which $64,025 was received in
2000 and $104,300 was received in 2001.

During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a contribution
agreement with Industry Canada-Technology Partnerships Canada (TPC) whereby the
Company is entitled to receive a maximum of approximately $5.1 million (Cdn -
$8.2 million) or 37% of eligible expenditures, as defined in the agreement. In
the event that commercial viability is achieved, then the assistance is
repayable, denominated in Canadian dollars, commencing February 15, 2002 based
on royalties from sales of specified products after December 31, 2001 resulting
from the project to a maximum of $11 million. There were no sales in 2001
subject to such royalties. In 2001, no amount has been accrued due to the lack
of a current TPC approved work plan. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the
Company did receive approval of a current work plan on March 28, 2002, valid
through June 2003, that is subject to confirmation of the Company's financial
information and agreement from the Company as to a revised statement of work.
The maximum assistance receivable by the Company from TPC remains at
approximately $5.1 million. The Company anticipates completing the confirmations
and approvals required of TPC in Q2 2002 and anticipates recovering TPC
assistance relating to 2001 of at least $362,542 and will again begin to claim
both corporate and BioOil project related assistance from TPC through June 2003.
Further amounts relating to direct labour performed in 2001 are eligible to be
claimed from TPC but as yet remain to be quantified. In 2001, $0 (2000 -
$835,626; 1999 - $556,746) is included in government grants receivable.

18. OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES AND DEFERRED CREDITS

Included in other long-term liabilities and deferred credits are funds of
$319,739 received from a third party in relation to a collaboration agreement as
described in (note 17). In addition, the balance includes $216,069 for amounts
due to a supplier on the later of November 2002 or the completion of the 100 ton
per day BioOil plant.

19. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company has five reportable segments. The segments are DynaPower(R),
Actuators, Corporate, BioOil Power Generation, and Other. DynaPower(R)is a
process for cleaning metal without the use of chemicals. The actuator technology
is used in both steel and aluminum welding. BioOil Power Generation is a

that converts low value forest waste and agricultural by-products into BioOil
and then into electricity, while Corporate consists of interest. Other includes
a pulverizing technology which disintegrates a variety of solid materials and
organic waste into a form suitable for the production of BioOil.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance
based on many factors, including net income or loss.

The Company's reportable business segments are strategic business units that
offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each
business requires different technology and marketing strategies.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

20. RECONCILIATION OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP"), which
conform in all material respects to those in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"),
except as follows:

[i] Under U.S. GAAP, the excess, if any, between the fair value of the
shares in escrow and the nominal amount paid, will be recorded as
compensation expense upon release from escrow.

[ii] Under U.S. GAAP, patent costs are amortized over the life of the
patent commencing with the date the patent is granted.

[iii] For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations, in accounting for
stock options granted to officers, directors, and employees.
Compensation expense is calculated based on the difference, on the
measurement date, between the fair market value of the Company's stock
and the exercise price is recorded over the vesting period of the
options. The exercise price of 15,940 (2000 - 70,000; 1999 - 33,196)
fixed employee stock options granted in 2001 was less than the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.

[iv] For U.S. GAAP purposes, the re-pricing of options and warrants granted
to employees can give rise to additional compensation expense. In
fiscal 2001, $nil (2000 - $nil, 1999 - $nil) compensation expense
resulted from the re-pricing of options and warrants. In the pro forma
information on net income and earnings per share, pursuant to the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
"Accounting for stock based compensation" ("SFAS 123"), additional
compensation expense in respect of the re-pricing of the options has
been reflected.

[v] For U.S. GAAP purposes, the stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and
performance-based stock options are accounted for as a variable
compensation plan under APB 25. Compensation relating to variable
plans is recorded in the reconciliation when it becomes probable that
the award will be earned.

[vi] For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company presents the disclosure
requirements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130 ("SFAS 130") in
these consolidated financial statements. SFAS 130 requires the
presentation of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive
income includes all changes in equity during a period except
shareholder transactions. Other accumulated comprehensive income
comprises only the cumulative translation adjustment.

If US GAAP were followed, the significant variations on the consolidated
statements of loss and comprehensive loss would be as summarized in the table
below.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted in 2001 where the stock price
is equal to the exercise price of the options, greater than the exercise price
of the options and less than the exercise of the options was $nil, $0.35, and
$0.96 respectively (2000 - $0.49, $1.35, $0.36; 1999 - $nil, $0.44 and $0.72).

The Black Scholes options valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 "Accounting for stock based
compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which also requires that the information be
determined as if the Company has accounted for stock options, SAR's and warrants
granted to employees under the fair value method of that statement. The fair
value for these options, SAR's and warrants is estimated at the measurment date
using a Black Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: Risk free
interest rate for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively; 3.9%, 5.0%, and 5.3%;
dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the
Company's common stock of 1.194, 1.170, and 1.326, and a weighted average
expected life of the option of 4.89 years (2000 - 3.19 years).

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

[a] As described in (note 11(c)), the Company commenced a private placement for
up to $1.25 million. Subsequent to year-end, the Company issued 1,970,053
common shares for a total proceeds of $779,653.

[b] In February 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Neoventi
Technology Corporation, one of the Company's founding institutional
investors, whereby Neoventi has agreed to invest up to $1,600,000 in common
shares of the Company over a period of six months at a price varying from
$0.40 to $0.80 per share. In the subsequent period, the Company has
received $63,684 in share deposits.

[c] In 2001, Southwestern Wire, Inc. (SWI), filed suit against the Company in
connection to a DynaPower wire cleaning system alleging that the system did
not perform as promised. SWI sought $101,000 for funds paid for the system
and incidental costs in relation to the suit. The Company filed a
counterclaim denying the allegations and for amounts due and parts supplied
of $46,110 plus legal fees associated with the counterclaim.

Subsequent to year-end, the Company and SWI entered into a settlement
agreement. If the system is determined to be functional, the Company agrees
to use its best efforts to find a new buyer for the system within nine
months of the signing of the settlement agreement. The Company has agreed
to sell the system for a minimum price of $60,000 unless a lower price has
been agreed to by SWI. If the Company successfully completes a sale of the
system, the Company will pay to SWI the proceeds received up to a maximum
of $50,000. No provision has been made since the outcome of the matter is
not determinable.

[d] On April 11, 2002, the Company announced that it has completed the
divestiture of its metal cleaning subsidiary, DynaPower, Inc. (note 8).
