Forward Looking Statements and Associated Risks
-----------------------------------------------
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are
based largely on IFT's expectations and are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond IFT's control,
including, but not limited to, economic, competitive and other factors
affecting IFT's operations, markets, products and services, expansion
strategies and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report and
the documents filed by IFT with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-
looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there
can be no assurance that the forward-looking information contained in
this report will in fact prove accurate. IFT does not undertake any
obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect
future events or circumstances.
(a) General Business Development
---------------------------------
International Fuel Technology, Inc. ("IFT") was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada on April 9, 1996, as MagnoDynamic
Corporation to develop and commercialize a proprietary scientific
process, "Performance Enhanced Emissions Reduced" ("PEER"). PEER is
designed to reformulate various refined fuels, including #2 diesel
fuel, home heating oil, #6 (Bunker) fuel, jet engine fuel and gasoline
to improve combustion efficiency and reduce the amounts of harmful
exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines. The resulting
reprocessed fuels are known as PEERFUEL(TM) ("PEERFUEL"). The name of
the corporation was changed to International Fuel Technology, Inc. on
November 13, 1996. IFT is a development stage company, has had no
revenues to date and has raised capital for initial development
through the issuance of its securities and promissory notes.
IFT has an authorized capitalization of 150,000,000 shares of common
stock, $.01 par value per share and no authorized preferred stock. On
July 22, 1999, IFT effected a one-for-ten reverse split of its
outstanding common stock. All references to share information have
been restated to reflect this split.
Effective March 31, 1998, IFT merged with United States Fuel
Technology, Inc. United States Fuel Technology, Inc. was formed
primarily to market PEERFUEL in North America. On May 29, 1998, IFT
merged with Scientific Fuel Technology, LLC, a company related through
common ownership.
IFT's common stock is traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol "IFUE."
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger effective as of October
27, 1999 between Blencathia Acquisition Corporation ("Blencathia") and
IFT, all the outstanding shares of common stock of Blencathia were to
be exchanged for $500,000 in shares of common stock of IFT in a
transaction in which IFT was the surviving company. Blencathia (a
development stage company) was incorporated in Delaware on December 3,
1998 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of capital
stock, asset acquisition or other business combination with a domestic
or foreign private business. As of the date of the merger, Blencathia
had not yet commenced any formal business operations, and the $264 of
operations costs through
3
September 30, 1999 related to Blencathia's formation. In a related
transaction following the Blencathia merger, IFT paid consideration
consisting of $100,000 cash to TPG Capital Corporation ("TPG"), a
former shareholder of Blencathia, pursuant to an agreement entered
into in October 1999 under which IFT engaged TPG to provide services
in connection with effecting a business combination between IFT and a
publicly reporting company. Under the terms of the TPG agreement, IFT
also agreed to register and sell common shares on behalf of Blencathia
shareholders to generate the aggregate consideration of $500,000 for
the acquisition of Blencathia.
The officers, directors, and by-laws of IFT continued without change
as the officers, directors, and by-laws of the successor issuer
following the merger with Blencathia. All financial statement
information presented for IFT reflects the operations of IFT and does
not include any operations of Blencathia.
The Blencathia acquisition was a decision made by the Board of
Directors to ensure IFT would remain a fully trading and reporting
entity on the OTC Bulletin Board. Blencathia was a public shell whose
purchase price of $500,000 was negotiated by IFT's management and
Blencathia's principal owner, TPG Capital. IFT had previously pursued
the purchase of two other shell corporations whose prices were
significantly higher than that paid for Blencathia. Prior to hearing
of TPG Capital in connection with this transaction IFT had no
affiliation with TPG Capital or Blencathia.
On May 8, 2000 IFT issued 300,000 common shares that were contingently
issued per the Blencathia merger agreement. The 300,000 shares of
common stock are included in the statement of stockholders' deficit
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 but are not included in
earnings per share and weighted average share calculations for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2000. They will be included when the
shares are sold to provide payment to the shareholders of Blencathia.
The shareholders of Blencathia have represented to the management of
IFT that the 300,000 shares will be sold only with IFT's approval. If
the shares are sold and $500,000 is not generated additional shares
may need to be issued to the shareholders of Blencathia. Based on the
March 16, 2001 market price, $.51, of IFT's common stock, a total of
980,392 shares would need to be issued to generate the $500,000
proceeds.
IFT is engaged in one reportable industry segment. Financial
information regarding this segment is contained in IFT's financial
statements included in this report.
(b) Description of Business
----------------------------
To date, IFT has focused on the development of PEERDIESEL(TM)
("PEERDIESEL"), its reformulated diesel fuel #2. Approximately 70% of
the distillate fuel consumed in the United States, Canada and Mexico
is diesel fuel #2. Through our proprietary Pre-Combustion Fuel
Treatment System (PCFTS), our PEERFUEL products will be designed to
improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines, thus reducing
the level of certain harmful emissions created through the combustion
process. The PEERFUEL processing system is based on altering specific
elements of fossil fuel.
Unlike certain post-refined fuels already in the marketplace that
claim to reduce levels of certain harmful emissions, no chemical
additives of any kind are used within the PCFTS or PEERFUEL process.
Also, unlike emission reduction systems that are attached to the
engine and require sometimes-expensive engine retrofitting, fuel
processed through the PEERFUEL
4
system does not require any physical change to the engine itself. When
burned in an internal combustion engine, fuel processed through the
PEERFUEL system will burn more efficiently as a result of the
oxidation process, therefore, burning more of the fuel itself and
leaving fewer remaining pollutants.
The PCFTS comprising the PEERFUEL system consists of a self-contained
system that is independent of the actual fuel refining process. The
basis of our system is to control the flow rate of pre-processed fuel
through a special magnetic field. The resulting re-processed fuel,
when combusted in an engine, burns at a more efficient rate, leaving a
lower level of harmful emissions including nitrogen oxide (NO2),
commonly referred to as NOX, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide
(CO2), and carbon particulates (also referred to as particulate
matter). The impact of the PEERFUEL system on a broader spectrum of
pollutants represents a significant advantage over many of the current
refinery-based competitive technologies as they tend to impact a
narrower range of pollutants, and in fact, some technologies while
positively reducing one pollutant may cause an increase in the level
of other pollutants.
PEERDIESEL has undergone over two years of extensive testing at the
California Environmental Engineering facility ("CEE"), an independent
mobile emissions laboratory in Southern California recognized by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and certified by the
California Air Resources Board ("CARB"), in order to obtain diploma
certification. The testing by CEE is on three types of diesel engines
representative of the majority of heavy duty diesels in use today. The
initial certified test reports from CEE indicate that use of the
PEERDIESEL process might significantly reduce airborne diesel exhaust
particles. The use of PEERDIESEL does not require any engine retrofit
and demonstrates no degradation in acceleration or loss of torque.
PEERDIESEL can be produced, transported, stored and pumped without any
special procedures beyond those already used in handling diesel fuel.
Reformulated PEERDIESEL requires neither additives nor engine
conversion and would be delivered to the consumer through the
traditional distribution system so reformulation charges for
PEERDIESEL will not add greatly to the pump price of the fuel. IFT
anticipates that the additional cost of the pump price will not exceed
$.10 per gallon.
On June 17, 1999, the CARB issued Executive Order #D-485-1 to IFT
permitting the use of the PEERDIESEL process in California. This is a
significant step in obtaining diploma certification in California, and
potentially for commercialization of PEERDIESEL.
The State of California has some of the world's most stringent air
pollution regulations. The State of California declared diesel exhaust
a carcinogen and the federal Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 requires
that diesel engines reduce their emissions of particulates and other
harmful air pollutants significantly by 2004 and 2007. In addition,
the Clean Air Act provides that any pollution source which reduces
pollution emissions below permitted levels is eligible to earn
emission reduction credits, which can be bought, sold, traded or
banked.

MARKETING
As a development stage company with no immediate revenue generation
capabilities, our marketing strategy and resulting efforts have been
relatively limited. We have worked over the past year to identify
those companies that would benefit specifically from access to
PEERFUEL technology and the resulting products. The companies we have
targeted for marketing efforts once we are in a position to
commercialize our technology can be grouped into three categories:
production/distribution, sales, and other strategic businesses. In a
number of cases firms can be considered to be in both of the first two
segments, while other strategic businesses are generally not involved
directly in the petroleum industry (such as motor vehicle
manufacturers).
It is our intention to remain conservative in our marketing efforts
until such time as either/both emission reduction gains are accepted
on a regulatory basis (CARB certification) and we have proven greater
fuel economy from PEERFUEL products. CARB certification is important
because it immediately opens up the California market for diesel #2 to
our technology. Given current refining methods used to meet CARB fuel
equivalency standards for diesel fuel #2, our technology is
appreciably less expensive, enabling us to market directly to
refiners. California is important as a market for two reasons: the
size of its market, and the positive perception that will accrue for
our technology from certification as a CARB equivalent fuel. Should
the results from fleet testing show conclusive evidence of fuel
economy benefits from PEERDIESEL, we will immediately alter our
marketing efforts to concentrate more heavily on the sales segment,
which we believe will have an immediate interest in knowing more about
our technology.
IFT's current strategy anticipates that after CARB diploma
certification is received, initial revenues will likely come from the
sale of equipment needed to install the PEER process and start the
processing of PEERDIESEL. Licensing and affiliated revenues would
follow thereafter.
6
Our strategy has three primary components:
. We will seek certification from the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) for diesel fuel #2 processed through our
PEERFUEL system to be accepted as a CARB equivalent fuel.
This certification is important because it enables
PEERDIESEL to be sold immediately in the State of
California; all diesel fuel #2 sold in California must be a
CARB certified equivalent fuel. Smaller refineries and
distribution companies in California have approximately 10%
of the market for diesel fuel, in large part because they
have a cost disadvantage versus ARCO(TM) and Chevron
Corporation (the two largest refiners). The PEERFUEL system
is less expensive for smaller refiners who rely largely on
putting additives into their diesel fuel to meet the
pollution emission regulations of CARB.
. The potential shareholder value that would be created by
proving a fuel economy benefit from PEERDIESEL could be
significant and additive to any value created through
achievement of any regulatory approvals (such as
certification as a CARB equivalent fuel). We will pursue a
fleet testing program that will involve conducting a series
of tests in different cities, with companies that use a
variety of engine types and are used under varying
conditions. We have retained MarketMatch, a leading
professional services firm in the petroleum industry, to
oversee the fleet testing including the compilation of the
results. The protocol for our test program has already been
established and we have begun contacting potential candidate
companies. It is too early to determine if any additional
fleet testing will be required, however, we are committed to
continuing our efforts in the event conclusive evidence is
found to support our claims. Upon formal confirmation of a
meaningful fuel economy benefit, our goal will be to begin
marketing the PEERFUEL system to targeted companies that
would be in the strongest position to gain from use of our
technology.
. We will apply for a special certification from CARB that
will allow us to make specific and detailed claims regarding
PEERFUEL products and their ability to reduce the levels of
certain harmful emissions caused by the combustion of fossil
fuels in certain engine types. This special certification is
difficult to receive, and to this point, no competitive
product or process has yet been given such a certification.
We believe that with additional, targeted testing we can
provide sufficient evidence to CARB to warrant receiving a
special certification.
Achieving these objectives is important for two reasons. First, with
the special certification, and even with the results achieved from the
testing required through the CARB protocol, users of PEERFUEL products
would potentially be eligible for special tax credits, providing a
powerful economic inventive for the licensing of our technology.
Second, the ability to legally make specific claims regarding the
benefits of using PEERFUEL products combined with the approval by CARB
to make those claims, will immediately enhance the marketability of
the PEERFUEL process around the world. CARB is recognized as one of if
not the world leader in advancing the effort to reduce harmful
pollutants into the
7
environment. With the special certification, we would effectively have
CARB's acceptance of the PEERFUEL process as a significant and
sustainable element for fighting pollution from the use of fossil
fuels in internal combustion engines. Once obtained, the number of
potential users or licensees of PEERFUEL technology could increase
significantly.
Currently, IFT is introducing PEERDIESEL into the market through its
Web site information, press releases, and publication of testing
results. IFT maintains an Internet Website at http://www.peerfuel.com.
-----------------------
IFT intends to market PEERDIESEL by licensing arrangements with
refineries and/or other appropriate marketing strategies.
COMPETITION
The growth in concern over the falling quality of the environment has
stimulated significant efforts in a range of areas that can be
considered competitive to PEERFUEL technology. Most experts agree that
it is not an issue of if, but when a viable alternative or set of
alternatives will be available to replace or greatly reduce the use of
fossil fuels. The work now being performed is centered around either
reducing the harmful emissions of fossil fuels, or replacing fossil
fuels altogether.
The majority of the technologies seeking to reduce or even eliminate
harmful emissions fall into three categories: cleaner fuels, engine
emission reduction devices, and fossil fuel alternatives. Clean fuel
technology is centered around either additional refining which pulls
out harmful emission substances (such as sulfur), or use additives
(such as Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether or MTBE) which bind to the fuel
causing reduction in certain harmful emissions. Engine emission
reduction devices include such items as the catalytic converter, which
trap or filter harmful emissions before they are released into the
environment. Fossil fuel alternatives include both alternative-fuel
vehicles (electric cars) and alternative-fuels (compressed natural
gas).
The difficulty with most technologies now being pursued that work to
reduce the harmful emissions from combusting fossil fuel, whether
through cleaner fuel or engine devices, or a combination of the two,
is that the improvements are only incremental and are very costly.
While it is possible to make cleaner fuels that meet emission
legislation targets for certain pollutants, to meet the more
meaningful reduction standards it may push the cost of diesel fuel to
two or even three times its current price. In addition, it has been
proven that attempts to reduce a particular level of a pollutant such
as sulfur, may have the unintended impact of increasing other
pollutants. We are not aware of any research to date that generates a
broad spectrum of emission reduction. Federal and state legislation
covering emission reduction requirements also poses a problem for
competitors because it can shift with respect to certain pollutants,
leaving new technologies incompatible with new regulations and making
them commercially nonviable.
Alternative fuels and alternative vehicles are often acknowledged to
hold the highest potential on a long term basis to solve pollution
abatement needs, but face significant hurdles in crafting a solution
in the near or medium term. Issues such as vehicle cost, engine re-
fit, engine performance, potential environmental damage, scalability
and others have effectively resulted in limiting the economic
viability of these alternative technologies. Added to the problems
just stated is the social cost of allowing for the potential
elimination of a material part of the petroleum industry and the
resulting effect on the world's economic system.
8
While the level of competition in the market is wide, it is not
believed to be especially deep in that no one emission reduction
technology now dominates the market, and therefore, no one company or
group of companies has a meaningful market share. We believe this is
an opportune time for the introduction of PEERFUEL technology because
it offers a low cost, high value product that can be seamlessly melded
into the existing global economic framework.
IFT anticipates three possible sources of competition for PEERFUEL:
. Companies with greater resources and more financial strength
that offer similar technology to PEERDIESEL;
. Vehicles utilizing alternative fuels; and
. Alternative fuels for use on current vehicles with engine
retrofitting.
TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS
Our success substantially depends upon the proprietary technology used
for developing our PEERFUEL products. We presently have filed for a
patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, File #98-
5251, entitled "Method of Verifying Vehicle Emissions," which focuses
on the method of verifying vehicle emissions and also verifying test
fuel on both a pre- and post-processed basis. IFT presently expects
the patent for File #98-5251 to be issued in the first quarter of
2001. IFT has been issued six trademarks and service marks including
PEERFUEL and PEERDIESEL. In addition to the foregoing proprietary
technology restrictions, all testing by CEE or others is subject to
strict privacy and confidentiality controls. No outside entity will be
invited to evaluate the science underlying the PEER process until such
time as the testing is completed.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
There was no laboratory testing conducted in 2000 as the bulk of the
initial research and development testing was completed in 1998-1999.
IFT's research and development costs are related to the development
and testing of the PEERDIESEL product. The costs incurred in research
and development for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $1,782, for
the nine months ended December 31, 1999 were $330,353 and for the year
ended March 31, 1999 were $842,905.
We have been performing research and development activities on
PEERFUEL since 1996, with the majority of our testing activities
occurring in late 1998 through early 1999. Initial testing activities
were conducted on a limited basis in July 1996 and again in January
1997, with smaller run times on few engine types. Initial results from
these tests were encouraging not only for reductions in key emission
substances, but also showed the potential for increased fuel economy.
IFT officially engaged CEE to conduct a complete test program starting
in 1998 using a variety of engine types. CEE is a state certified
laboratory and is also recognized by the EPA for specific testing
protocols. CEE has the ability to test both diesel fuel and gasoline
products. The list of entities for which CEE has conducted testing
includes CARB, EPA, Ford, General Motors, Volvo as well as other
multi-national corporations. The formal research and development work
consisted of running a series of tests under EPA and Society
9
of Automotive Engineers (SAE) recommended procedures to determine the
gaseous emissions levels of four separate diesel engines. The test
procedures consist of a prescribed sequence of engine operating
conditions on an engine dynamometer with measurements of hydrocarbons
(HC), nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide
(CO2), and particulate matter (PM). The testing was done during 13
steady state modes consisting of five modes at rated engine speed,
five modes at an intermediate speed, and three modes at idle. Four
separate engines were used in the testing: Cummins L-10, Caterpillar
3208, and two separate Detroit Diesel engines. The test fuel used for
the baseline program was standard D-2 diesel fuel, and for the
PEERFUEL testing re-processed D-2 fuel was used which ranged in age
from less than one month old to nearly 12 months old.
IFT is not presently engaged in any significant research and
development activities. We do expect to continue testing some time in
the near future in an effort to further clarify the exact scientific
elements involved in the processing of fuel through the PEERFUEL
system. In addition, further testing may be necessary to continue to
tightly define the emission reduction benefits to be realized from
PEERFUEL products. We have held several discussions with CARB
officials who have evidenced the need to conduct transient cycle
testing, a specialized form of engine testing. This testing will be
part of our ongoing efforts to achieve special certification from CARB
that would enable IFT to make specific claims with regard to emission
reduction performance.
In addition to CARB certification-related research and development
efforts, we expect to put together a series of fleet testing programs
to identify specific fuel economy benefits from PEERFUEL. IFT is in
discussions with a variety of companies representing different
industries and geographical conditions, which would participate in a
three to six month fleet program. The fleet testing efforts are
planned for 2001-2002.
EMPLOYEES
Currently, IFT has three full time employees. The management of IFT
believes the relationship with its employees is satisfactory.
Item 2. Properties
IFT maintains its administrative offices at 7777 Bonhomme Avenue,
Suite 1920, St. Louis, Missouri, 63105, under a lease agreement for
office space and administrative services of $5,000 per month for
approximately 1,500 square feet from a company related through common
ownership. The original agreement expired in July 2000 and has
subsequently automatically renewed for two six month terms. Presently,
IFT expects to renew this agreement in July 2001 on a month to month
basis at a market rate.
The management of IFT believes that the current facilities are
adequate to meet current operating requirements.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
IFT is not a party to any legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.

Overview
--------
IFT was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in April
1996, to develop and commercialize a proprietary scientific process,
"Performance Enhanced Emissions Reduced" ("PEER"), that reformulates
various refined fuels, including #2 diesel fuel, home heating oil, #6
(Bunker) fuel, jet engine fuel and gasoline to improve combustion
efficiency and reduce the amounts of harmful exhaust emissions from
internal combustion engines. The resulting reprocessed fuels are known
as PEERFUEL. IFT is a development stage company, has had no revenues
to date and has raised capital for initial development through the
issuance of its securities and promissory notes.
Comparison of Twelve Months Ended 12/31/00 and Nine Months Ended
----------------------------------------------------------------
12/31/99
--------
Total operating expenses from development stage operations were
$4,689,953 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000, as compared
to the development stage operating expenses of $4,726,799 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1999. Total operating expenses for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2000 represents a $36,846, or .8%,
decrease from the prior period. Total operating expenses for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2000 is consistent with the prior
year. Operating expenses should remain consistent while IFT maintains
its status as a development stage company.
Board meeting expenses were $117,216 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000, as compared to $0 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999. On February 23, 2000, the Board of Directors
adopted the Director's Stock Compensation Plan, which provides for an
annual award of 10,000 shares of IFT's common stock to IFT's Board
members as reimbursement for their attendance at the Board meetings
and an additional 1,000 shares of IFT's common stock for any three
telephone conference call Board meetings attended. During March 2000,
45,000 shares of IFT's common stock were issued to three non-employee
Board members. The market value of these shares was calculated based
on the trading price of IFT's stock at February 23, 2000, $2.75 per
share, and is reflected in these financial statements as Board meeting
expense of $117,216 and travel expense of $6,534. As of March 16, 2001
IFT's Board of Directors has not authorized the issuance of common
stock under the Director's Stock Compensation Plan for the year 2001.
Consulting expenses were $285,132 for the twelve months ended December
31, 2000, as compared to $295,000 for the nine months ended December
31, 1999. Consulting expenses for the twelve months ended December 31,
2000 represents a decrease of $9,868, or 3.3%, from the prior period.
Consulting expenses decreased due to consulting expenses during the
twelve months ended December 31, 2000 being reduced by $95,367 due to
the elimination of a related party account payable that had previously
been recorded to consulting expense. This decrease partially offset
the increase in consulting expenses resulting from IFT issuing common
stock in two separate transactions. In the first transaction, IFT sold
100,000 restricted common shares for $200,000 to a company whose sole
director is a director of IFT. The market value on the day of issuance
for those
13
100,000 common shares was $331,250. The $131,250 in market value in
excess of the cash amount received is reflected in the statement of
operations for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2000 as
consulting expense. In the second transaction, pursuant to a
consulting agreement dated June 5, 2000, IFT issued 250,000 shares of
restricted common stock to the same company described in the prior
transaction. The market value on the day of the agreement was
$218,750. The $218,750 in market value is reflected in the statement
of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 as
consulting expense. As of March 16, 2001 IFT has executed consulting
agreements requiring the payment of $6,500 per month.
Investment advisory fees were $1,251,413 during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2000, as compared to $0 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999. IFT entered into a convertible debenture purchase
agreement dated February 25, 2000 with GEM Global Yield Fund Limited
("GEM"). In addition to the convertible debentures, GEM, one of the
investors in the convertible debentures, received a warrant to
purchase 390,000 shares of common stock as part of its fee for
arranging the convertible debenture financing. On March 28, 2000 a
warrant for 390,000 shares of common stock was exercised by GEM at a
cost of $.01 per share. The closing trading price of IFT's stock on
March 28, 2000 was $2.9375, resulting in a total market value of
$1,145,625 for the 390,000 common shares. The market value in excess
of the $.01 warrant exercise cost, $1,141,725, is reflected in the
statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000
as an investment advisory fee. During February 2000, IFT issued
195,000 shares of common stock and placed them in escrow in accordance
with the convertible debenture purchase agreement entered into on
February 25, 2000. The 195,000 shares were to be released from escrow
and issued to the purchasers of the convertible debenture in the event
of an uncured default by IFT prior to the closing of the convertible
debenture purchase agreement. The 195,000 shares of common stock were
released to the purchasers of the convertible debenture purchase
agreement in conjunction with an amendment to the convertible
debenture purchase agreement dated June 16, 2000, and were recorded as
an investment advisory fee of $109,688 based on the closing trading
price of IFT's stock on that date. The term of GEM's commitment period
expired August 24, 2000. GEM was conditionally willing to further
extend the deadline, however IFT management determined that the terms
and conditions of the extension were not in the best interests of
IFT's shareholders and elected not to enter into the extension.
Payroll expenses were $2,212,305 during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000, as compared to $275,080 for the nine month period
ended December 31, 1999. Payroll expenses for the twelve month period
ended December 31, 2000 represents an increase of $1,937,225 from the
prior period. The increase was primarily due to the Board of
Director's granting of restricted stock awards to the executive
officers of IFT at two separate times in 2000. The first stock award
of 100,000 restricted shares of IFT's common stock was granted to
IFT's President/COO and IFT's Chief Executive Officer on February 23,
2000. The 200,000 restricted shares have been reflected in the
statement of operations as payroll expense of $550,000 for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2000. Additionally, on February 23, 2000,
the Board of Directors adopted the Director's Stock Compensation Plan,
which provided for an annual award of 10,000 shares of IFT's common
stock to Board members as reimbursement for their attendance at the
Board meetings. The President/COO and the Chief Executive Officer were
each awarded 10,000 restricted shares of IFT's common stock as Board
members. These restricted shares have been reflected in the statement
of operations as payroll expense of $55,000 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2000. The February 23, 2000 restricted stock award
shares value was calculated based on
14
the closing trading price of IFT's stock on February 23, 2000, which
was $2.75 per share. The second stock award of 475,000 restricted
shares of IFT's common stock was granted to IFT's President/COO and
IFT's Chief Executive Officer on October 13, 2000. The 950,000
restricted shares have been reflected in the statement of operations
as payroll expense of $593,750 for the twelve months ended December
31, 2000. The October 13, 2000 restricted stock award shares value was
calculated based on the closing trading price of IFT's stock on
October 13, 2000, which was $.625 per share. Additionally, on January
31, 2000, IFT entered into revised employment agreements with its
President/COO and Chief Executive Officer. The revised employment
agreements term extended through December 31, 2000 and automatically
renewed on January 1, 2001, for another one year term. Under these
agreements, the President/COO will receive an annual base salary of
$180,000 and 3,000 restricted shares of IFT's common stock per month,
and a bonus award as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of
IFT. The Chief Executive Officer will receive an annual base salary of
$180,000 and 6,000 restricted shares of IFT's common stock per month,
and a bonus award as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of
IFT. The 99,000 restricted shares related to the two employment
agreements are reflected in the statement of operations as payroll
expense of $321,750 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. The
restricted shares value was calculated based on the closing trading
price of IFT's stock on February 1, 2000, which was $3.25 per share.
During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2000, payroll
expense from restricted common stock issued totaled $834,067 for the
Chief Executive Officer and $716,721 for the President/COO. During the
twelve month period ended December 31, 2000, payroll expense from
payroll accruals pursuant to the employment agreements with the
President/COO and the Chief Executive Officer totaled $204,325. Also,
stock awards totaling 275,000 restricted shares of IFT's common stock
were granted to the three non-employee directors of IFT on October 13,
2000. The 275,000 restricted shares have been reflected in the
statement of operations as payroll expense of $171,875 for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2000. The October 13, 2000 restricted stock
award shares value was calculated based on the closing trading price
of IFT's stock on October 13, 2000, which was $.625 per share. On
February 23, 2001, IFT's Board of Directors has authorized the
issuance of 2,575,000 shares of restricted common stock to executive
officers or non-employee directors for stock awards for the year 2001.
Professional services were $684,367 during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000 as compared to $3,662,718 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999. Professional services for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000 represents a decrease of $2,978,351, or 81.3%, from
the prior period. Approximately $350,000 of the professional services
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 is for accounting and
legal fees related to IFT's attempt to obtain financing through the
issuance of convertible debentures. The agreements related to the
issuance of the convertible debentures required IFT to obtain an
effective registration statement from the Securities and Exchange
Commission on the unrestricted common shares that would be issued if
the convertible debentures were submitted for conversion. IFT obtained
an effective registration for the unrestricted shares required by the
convertible debenture agreement on March 1, 2001. Accounting and legal
fees related to general business development and operations totaled
approximately $100,000 for the year 2000. Professionals used for
development of IFT's 2000 and 2001 product and business strategy
totaled approximately $112,000 and investor relations totaled
approximately $42,500 for the year 2000. On July 1, 1999, IFT entered
into an agreement with Onkar Corporation, Ltd. to issue 1,500,000
shares of common stock in exchange for various services including
introduction to brokers, dealers and potential investors and for
facilitating the writing of research reports on IFT. IFT received
$750,000 for these shares. The $3,468,750 difference between the value
of the
15
shares using the market price at the date of the agreement and the
$750,000 of proceeds received from the agreement were reflected in the
statement of operations for the nine month period ended December 31,
1999 as professional services expense.
Research and development costs were $1,782 during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $330,353 for the nine months
ended December 31, 1999. Research and development for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2000 represents a decrease of $328,571 from
the prior period. The decrease is primarily due to decreased testing
and laboratory fees of $304,887. IFT conducted a significant portion
of its product testing during late 1998 and early 1999. Management
expects expenditures for research and development during the year 2001
to be approximately $700,000.
Interest expense was $1,997,583 for the twelve months ended December
31, 2000 as compared to $405,341 for the nine months ended December
31, 1999. Interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31,
2000 represents an increase of $1,592,242 from the prior period. The
increase is primarily due to the amortization of discounts on notes
payable in connection with IFT's issuance of common stock warrants to
stockholders for advances received. The discount amount amortized
during the twelve month period was $1,228,424. During the twelve month
period ended December 31, 2000, IFT received advances from
stockholders totaling $416,000. In addition to the repayment of
principal, each stockholder received a warrant to purchase from IFT up
to 25,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per share for each $5,000 in
principal advanced to IFT. The value of the warrants, $1,228,424, was
based on the market value of IFT's common stock on the day(s) the
advances were received. The warrant value was recorded as a discount
on the notes payable to stockholders to be amortized as interest
expense over the expected repayment period of the advance. The notes
payable were repaid during December 2000 either by the issuance of a
new note or by the issuance of restricted common stock. The restricted
common stock was issued based on a value price of $.30 per share. The
market value of IFT's common stock on the day this value was
determined was $.50 per share. IFT issued 1,186,669 restricted shares
as payment on $356,000 of note principal. The $.20 per share
difference between the market value and the determined payment value,
or $237,333, is included as interest expense in the statement of
operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000. In addition,
IFT repaid $374,000 of note principal from other advances received
with 1,626,086 restricted common shares. The restricted common stock
was issued based on a value price of $.23 per share. The market value
of IFT's common stock on the day this value was determined was $.55
per share. The $.32 per share difference between the market value and
the determined payment value, or $520,347, is included as interest
expense in the statement of operations for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000.
The net loss was $6,687,536 for the twelve months ended December 31,
2000 as compared to the net loss of $5,132,140 for the nine months
ended December 31, 1999. Net loss for the twelve months ended December
31, 2000 represents a decrease of $1,555,396, or 30.3%, from the prior
period. The net loss per common share was $.36 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the net loss per common share
of $.32 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended 12/31/99 and Fiscal 3/31/99
-----------------------------------------------------------
Total operating expenses from development stage operations were
$4,726,799 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, as compared to
the development stage operating expenses of $7,751,844 for the twelve
month period ended March 31, 1999. This represents a 39.0% decrease from
the prior period. The total development stage operating expenses for the
nine month period ended December 31, 1998, were $7,335,493. Decreased
development stage operating expenses in the current period compared to
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 are a result of decreased consulting
fees, increased professional fees, and other expenses related to product
development. IFT is presenting this comparison as the nine months ended
December 31, 1999, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 1998.
The primary expense incurred, of the $416,351 total expenses, during the
three month period ended March 31, 1999, was $328,558 of product
development costs.
Consulting expenses during the nine months ended December 31, 1999, were
$295,000 representing a decrease of $6,045,500 from the corresponding
period for 1998. This represents a decrease of 95.3% from the prior
period. The decrease is primarily due to the issuance of 1,200,000
shares of IFT common stock to the former Board Chairman during December
1998 for consulting services rendered. These shares were valued at the
estimated fair value per share of $5.00.
Research and development costs during the nine months ended December 31,
1999 was $330,353, representing a decrease of $183,994 from the
corresponding period for 1998. This represents a decrease of 35.8% from
the prior period. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in the
purchase of testing supplies, rental equipment and decreased testing and
laboratory fees.
Rent expense during the nine months ended December 31, 1999 was $32,685
representing a decrease of $84,948 from the corresponding period of 1998.
This represents a 72.2% decrease from the prior period. IFT rents its
Las Vegas office space and equipment on a month to month basis from a
company related through common ownership. From September 1, 1998 through
March 31, 1999 the rent for the Las Vegas office facility was $18,000 per
month. After March 31, 1999, the office rent decreased to $5,000 per
month to reflect market and operations conditions. The revised rental
amount was retroactive to March 1, 1999. A credit was issued in the
amount of $13,000 during the nine month period ended December 31, 1999.
Prior to September 1, 1998, the office rent was $4,000 per month. IFT
rents its St. Louis office space and equipment on a six month lease from
a company related through common ownership. Payments totaled $32,500
during the nine month period ended December 31, 1999.
Payroll expenses during the nine months ended December 31, 1999 were
$275,080 representing an increase of $158,407 from the corresponding
period of 1998. The increase was primarily due to the hiring of
additional employees to administer the day-to-day operations.
Additionally, on July 13, 1999, IFT entered into employment agreements
with its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer which expire
January 31, 2000 with options to extend until July 31, 2000. Under the
terms of the agreement(s), these officers will each receive base pay of
$1,000 per month plus a combined total of 90,000 shares of IFT's common
stock payable at the end of the initial term of the agreement. The
stock-based compensation earned through December 31, 1999 is $166,587 and
has been reflected in these financial statements as payroll expense and
as additional paid in capital, calculated based on the trading price of
IFT's stock at July 13, 1999 which was $2.1875 per share.
17
Professional services during the nine months ended December 31, 1999,
were $3,662,718 representing an increase of $3,581,282 over the
corresponding period of 1998. On July 1,1999, IFT entered into an
agreement with Onkar Corporation, Ltd. to issue 1,500,000 shares of
common stock in exchange for various services including introduction to
brokers, dealers and potential investors and for facilitating the writing
of a minimum of three research reports on IFT. IFT received $750,000 for
these shares. The $3,468,750 difference between the value of the shares
using the market price at the date of the agreement and the $750,000 of
proceeds received from the agreement have been reflected in the statement
of operations for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 as
professional services expense. The increase in professional services is
also due to hiring services for payroll, web-site initialization, costs
related to investigation of patent filing, financial information report
filing and new administrative expenses. Additionally, there were
increases in legal and audit expenses during the nine month period ended
December 31, 1999.
Other expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, were $59,234
representing an increase of $12,166 from the corresponding period of
1998. This represents a 25.8% increase from the prior period. The
increase for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 is due primarily to
the cost to purchase postage for shareholder news mailings, the rights
offering information mailing to shareholders, the mailing of the rights
offering stock certificates, printing costs for the new rights offering
stock certificates, transfer agent fees to process the rights offering
stock certificates and the purchase of a Director's and Officers
Liability Insurance Policy.
Interest expense during the nine months ended December 31, 1999 was
$405,341 representing an increase of $336,769 for the corresponding
period of 1998. This represents a 491.1% increase from the prior period.
Interest expense increased primarily due to IFT's agreement entered into
with certain promissory note holders on November 1, 1999 to issue 423,537
shares of its common stock by December 31, 1999 in exchange for the
balance of the promissory notes due in the amount of $704,255 and
interest on the notes due in the amount of $142,820 at $2.00 per share.
The note and interest exchange value was calculated based on the trading
price of IFT's stock at November 1, 1999. The $355,771 difference
between the $2.00 (per the agreement) value of the shares and the $2.84
trading price of the shares has been reflected in these financial
statements as interest expense.
The net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, was $5,132,140
as compared to the net loss of $7,404,065 for the nine month period ended
December 31, 1998. This represents a 30.7% decrease from the prior
period. The net loss per share for the nine months ended December 31,
1999 was $.32 as compared to the net loss per common share of $.57 for
the nine month period ended December 31, 1998.
New Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivatives
and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for
years beginning after June 15, 2000 and requires comparative information
for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
IFT does not expect the adoption of this statement to have significant
impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
18
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
A critical component of IFT's operating plan impacting the continued
existence of IFT is the ability to obtain additional capital through
additional debt and/or equity financing. We do not anticipate IFT will
generate a positive internal cash flow until such time as IFT can
generate revenues from license fees from its PEERFUEL process and/or
direct sales of its PEERFUEL products, either or both of which may take
the next few years to realize. In the event we cannot obtain the
necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, IFT may have to cease or
significantly curtail its operations. This would materially impact our
ability to continue as a going concern. The independent auditor's
reports included with the financial statements later in this Form 10-K
indicate there is a substantial doubt that IFT can continue as a going
concern.
We have met our capital needs since inception primarily through the
issuance of restricted common stock as payment for compensation and
services rendered, which have totaled $13,445,092 since inception in
April 1996, and for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2000,
totaled $3,494,616. In addition to these amounts, we have raised
$2,808,328 in cash from the issuance of common stock since IFT's
inception, with $224,650 of this total raised during the twelve month
period ended December 31, 2000. Most of these funds have been raised
through private placement transactions. Finally, since IFT's inception,
financing totaling $2,179,425 was raised privately through notes payable
to various sources, of which $576,671 was repaid, $1,407,754 was
converted to common stock, and $195,000 is recorded as a liability on the
December 31, 2000, balance sheet. For the twelve months ended December
31, 2000 proceeds from notes payable totaled $890,000 with $27,500 repaid
and $730,000 converted to common stock. Notes payable totaling $356,000
were converted at a price of $.30 per share, and included both the
outstanding principal and interest owed as of December 15, 2000. Notes
payable totaling $374,000 were converted at a price of $.23 per share and
included outstanding principal owed as of November 27, 2000.
The cash used in operating activities is $977,594 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2000 as compared to cash used in operating activities
of $1,162,743 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. Cash used in
operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 decreased
primarily due to an increase of $200,919 in accrued expenses. The cash
used in investing activities was $8,198 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000 as compared to $25,049 used in investing activities for
the nine months ended December 31, 1999. Cash used in investing
activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 decreased
primarily due to the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 including
$15,468 in cash used for employee and stockholder advances. The cash
provided by financing activities was $1,087,150 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $1,214,150 provided by financing
activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. Cash provided by
financing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000
decreased due to $921,800 less in proceeds being received from issuance
of common stock while the net activity of notes payable provided funds of
$794,800. Net cash increased by $101,358 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2000 as compared to net cash increasing by $26,358 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999.
The cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December
31, 1999 was $1,162,743 as compared to $1,396,056 used in operating
activities for the year ended March 31, 1999. The cash provided by
financing activities was $1,214,150 for the nine months ended December
31, 1999 as compared to $1,395,724 provided by financing activities for
the year ended March 31, 1999. Net cash increased by $26,358 for the
nine months ended
19
December 31, 1999 as compared to net cash decreasing by $4,612 for the
year ended March 31, 1999.
Working capital at December 31, 2000 was ($316,210) as compared to
($308,659) at December 31, 1999.
During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2000, IFT received
advances from stockholders totaling $516,000. For $416,000 of the
advances, each stockholder received a warrant to purchase from IFT up to
25,000 shares of restricted common stock at $.01 per share for each
$5,000 in principal advanced to IFT. IFT issued 2,030,000 restricted
common shares based upon the exercise of the warrants. In addition, IFT
repaid $356,000 of the advances received from the stockholders by issuing
1,186,669 restricted common shares and $27,500 of the advances received
from stockholders by check disbursement. $132,500 of the advances
received from stockholders is recorded as a liability on the December 31,
2000 balance sheet.
Effective October 27, 1999, IFT merged with and into Blencathia
Acquisition Corporation. Blencathia had 300,000 shares outstanding at
the time of merger, which it redeemed and canceled. In exchange for
300,000 shares of Blencathia's common stock, IFT issued Blencathia
300,000 shares of its restricted common stock. These restricted common
shares are expected to be sold in an amount sufficient to provide the
former shareholders of Blencathia with proceeds of $500,000.
On May 8, 2000, IFT issued 300,000 common shares that were contingently
issued per the Blencathia merger agreement. The 300,000 shares of common
stock are included in the statement of stockholders' deficit for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2000 but are not included in earnings
per share and weighted average share calculations for the twelve month
period ended December 31, 2000. They will be included when the shares are
sold to provide payment to the shareholders of Blencathia. The
shareholders of Blencathia have represented to the management of IFT that
the 300,000 shares will be sold only with IFT's approval. If the shares
are sold and $500,000 is not generated additional shares may need to be
issued to the shareholders of Blencathia. Based on the March 16, 2001
market price, $.51, of IFT's common stock, a total of 980,392 shares
would need to be issued to generate the $500,000 proceeds.
While management can not make any assurance as to the accuracy of our
projections of future capital needs, it is anticipated that a total of
approximately $1.8 million over the remainder of the fiscal year will be
necessary in order to enable us to meet our current capital needs.
Management believes the proceeds from the convertible debenture financing
will be used as follows: $350,000 for specific testing as part of
required regulatory procedures as set by the Air Resources Board of
California ("CARB"), $350,000 for commercial fleet testing programs,
$250,000 for production development and engineering consulting,
$1,150,000 for salary expenses and $900,000 working capital for
administrative and other capital needs, including investigation of future
acquisitions if any. In February 2000, we entered into a convertible
debenture purchase agreement to raise $3,000,000 through the sale of
convertible debentures to GEM Global Yield Fund, Ltd. and Turbo
International Ltd. ("GEM"). During June 2000, this agreement was amended
to raise $1,500,000 through the sale of convertible debentures to GEM. In
connection with the convertible debenture purchase agreement IFT issued a
warrant to GEM for the purchase of 390,000 shares of common stock at $.01
per common share. This warrant was exercised on March 28, 2000. We
additionally issued 195,000 shares of common stock to the purchasers of
the convertible
20
debenture purchase agreement in conjunction with an amendment to the GEM
convertible debenture purchase agreement dated June 16, 2000. The term of
GEM's commitment period expired August 24, 2000. GEM was conditionally
willing to further extend the deadline, however IFT management determined
that the terms and conditions of the extension were not in the best
interests of IFT's shareholders and elected not to enter into the
extension. On October 16, 2000 we signed a term sheet with The
International Investment Group ("IIG") for a $6 million equity line of
credit to be funded $3 million over one year with a one-year extension,
at our option, for an additional $3 million. During the following months
we revised the terms of the October 16, 2000 IIG term sheet and on
January 3, 2001 entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with IIG
Equity Opportunities Fund Ltd. ("IIG Fund"), which has a one-year
commitment amount of $3 million, with an option at our control for an
additional $3 million in financing after the completion of the one-year
commitment. The January 3, 2001 Securities Purchase Agreement with the
IIG Fund replaced the October 16, 2000 IIG term sheet. On March 1, 2001,
IFT completed registration of the common shares required by the January
3, 2001 Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement
provides for IFT to sell up to $250,000 in convertible debentures to the
IIG Fund every thirty days. In connection with each convertible debenture
purchase IFT is required to issue a warrant for the purchase of 75,000
common shares at the redemption price of 130% of the closing trading
price on the day of the convertible debenture purchase. Based on the
terms of the Agreement IFT is expecting to recognize interest expense in
connection with the issuance of the warrants or with the conversion of
the debentures. The amount of interest expense to be recognized will be
specifically determined when those events take place. On March 2, 2001,
IFT requested a funding in accordance with the Agreement and received the
first advance of $200,000 on March 7, 2001.
21
Management believes that IFT's anticipated strategic efforts do not
require any additional personnel. As such, the administrative budget
of $1.8 million for the next year is believed to be adequate. We
anticipate approximately $100,000 will be required for initial sales
and marketing efforts during the coming year, provided results from
our regulatory and commercial efforts described above are positive. It
is our intention to begin immediately to generate revenues from
license fees, direct sales, joint venture or any other business
relationship deemed in the best interests of the shareholders at such
time as the regulatory and commercial viability of the PEERFUEL
process is proven.
Management believes that the financial stability provided by having a
financing agreement in place allows IFT to pursue strategic
relationships with businesses that have complementary pollution
technologies and products. Management believes such relationships
could serve to enhance the value of IFT as it strives to create
commercially viable pollution reduction technologies under the
PEERFUEL brand.
Subsequent Events
-----------------
During January 2001, IFT issued 33,333 shares of restricted common
stock as a payment for principal and interest on a $10,000 note
payable to a stockholder.
During January 2001, IFT issued 99,000 shares of restricted common
stock as a payment on the requirements of the executive officer
employment agreements for the year 2000.
Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, operations of IFT may be exposed to
fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs
of financing, investing and operating transactions. IFT has debt
totaling 31% of total liabilities of fixed interest rates and
fluctuations in the interest rate could have a material impact on the
underlying fair value.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Financial statements as of and for the twelve month period ended
December 31, 2000, as of and for the nine month period ended December
31, 1999, and for the twelve month period ended March 31, 1999, are
presented in a separate section of this report following Part IV.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth information as of February 28, 2001,
regarding the beneficial ownership determined in accordance with the
rules of the SEC, which generally attributes beneficial ownership of
securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power and/or
investment power with respect to those securities, of IFT's common
stock of: (i) each person known by IFT to own beneficially more than
five percent of IFT's common stock; (ii) each director and nominee for
director of the IFT; (iii) each executive officer named in the Summary
Compensation Table (see "Executive Compensation"); and (iv) all

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
-------------------------------------------------------
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires IFT's executive officers and directors, and
persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of IFT's common
stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in
ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than
ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to
furnish IFT with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based
upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to IFT and written
representations from IFT's executive officers and directors, IFT
believes that during fiscal 2000 Forms 3 and 4 were not filed on a
timely basis for IFT's executive officers and directors. IFT believes
all such delinquent reports have since been filed.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
IFT obtains general and administrative services and rents office space
and equipment from Burcor Capital, LLC, a company related through
common ownership (Mr. Jonathan Burst, executive officer and director
of IFT, is the founder and president of Burcor Capital, LLC), under an
agreement requiring monthly payments of $5,000. Expenses recorded as
professional
26
services totaled $60,000 during the twelve month period ended December
31, 2000 and $32,500 during the nine month period ended December 31,
1999.
On April 26, 1999, at the Annual Shareholders Meeting, the Shareholders
of IFT approved the engagement of Burcor Capital, LLC as IFT's investment
bankers to develop investment and marketing relationships in connection
with a merger or consolidation of IFT with any other business entity, the
sale of all or part of IFT securities for cash or in exchange for other
tangible or intangible consideration ("Potential Transactions") and the
planning and actions taken for the purpose of effecting one or more
Potential Transactions. As of December 31, 2000 no amounts have been paid
related to this agreement.
On October 7, 1999, we entered into an Advisory Agreement with Mr. Harry
Demetriou, a director of IFT, on a non-exclusive basis to render
financial advisory services in connection with the possible sale of IFT.
As of December 31, 1999 no payments had been made related to this
agreement. During June 2000 this agreement was canceled and replaced with
an agreement that provided for payment of 250,000 restricted common
shares. These shares were issued on June 16, 2000 with a value of
$218,750.
During October 1999 IFT entered into an agreement with TPG Capital
Corporation, a company related through common ownership, for consulting
services. A payment of $100,000 was made and expensed during the nine
month period ended December 31, 1999.
On November 1, 1999, IFT entered into an agreement with certain related
party promissory note holders to issue 423,537 shares of its common stock
by December 31, 1999 in exchange for the balance of the promissory notes
due in the amount of $677,254, a related party account payable of $26,500
and interest on the notes due in the amount of $142,820 at $2.00 per
share. The stock-based note and interest exchange value was calculated
based on the trading price of IFT's stock at November 1, 1999. The
$355,771 difference between the $2.00 (per the agreement) value of the
shares and the trading price of the shares has been reflected in these
financial statements as interest expense.
At December 31, 1999, IFT owed one of its stockholders approximately
$87,000 for legal services performed. Subsequent to December 31, 1999,
the stockholder agreed to accept 27,559 shares of IFT's common stock in
lieu of cash for the amounts due to him.
During June 2000, IFT purchased a Directors and Officers Liability
insurance policy from Burcor Insurance Group, a company owned by Jonathan
Burst.
During the year 2000, IFT paid MarketMatch, Inc. $106,293 for
professional services. MarketMatch, Inc. is owned and operated by
William Center. William Center became a director of IFT in October 2000.
During the year 2000, IFT paid Steven D. Walters, CPA $25,168 for
professional services. Steven D. Walters, CPA was owned and operated by
Steven Walters. Steven Walters was appointed as the Chief Financial
Officer of IFT in October 2000.
During the year 2000, IFT received advances from stockholders totaling
$516,000. For $416,000 of the advances each stockholder received a
warrant to purchase from IFT up to 25,000 shares of restricted common
stock at $.01 per share for each $5,000 in principal advanced to IFT.
IFT issued 2,030,000 restricted common shares based upon the exercise of
the warrants. In addition, IFT repaid $356,000 of the advances received
from the stockholders
27
by issuing 1,186,669 restricted common shares and $27,500 of the

the advances received from stockholders is recorded as a liability on
the December 31, 2000 balance sheet.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS'
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
International Fuel Technology, Inc.
St. Louis, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of International Fuel
Technology, Inc. (a Nevada corporation in the development stage) as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the twelve month and nine month
periods then ended and the related statements of operations and cash flows
for the period from inception (April 9, 1996) to December 31, 2000. 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 did not audit the financial statements of
International Fuel Technology, Inc. for the period from inception (April 9,
1996) to March 31, 1999. Such statements are included in the cumulative
inception to December 31, 2000 totals of the statements of operations and
cash flows and reflect a net loss of 44% of the related cumulative total.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been
furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts for the
period from inception (April 9, 1996) to March 31, 1999 included in the
cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 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. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of International Fuel Technology, Inc. as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the twelve month and nine month periods then ended and for
the period from inception (April 9, 1996) to December 31, 2000 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
International Fuel Technology, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, International Fuel
Technology, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations, has
negative working capital, cash used in operating activities and has a
stockholders' deficit that raise substantial doubt about International Fuel
Technology, Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
International Fuel Technology, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying statements of operations, stockholders'
deficit and cash flows of International Fuel Technology, Inc., a
development stage company, for the year ended March 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of IFT's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatements. 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. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of
International Fuel Technology, Inc. for the year ended March 31, 1999 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will conduct operations as a going concern. The Company has not yet
commenced the operations for which it was organized and its total
liabilities exceed its total assets. Furthermore, the Company may need to
raise substantial capital in order to implement its business plan. This
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INTERNATIONAL FUEL TECHNOLOGY, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business
------------------
International Fuel Technology, Inc., ("IFT") is a developmental stage
company which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
April 9, 1996 and was formerly known as MagnoDynamic Corporation. IFT was
formed primarily for the production of a family of proprietary fuels known
as PEERFUELTM. IFT developed a process, which it believes will make diesel
fuel burn more efficiently and with less emissions. IFT, as described in
Note 3, has acquired United State Fuel Technology, Inc, and Scientific Fuel
Technology, LLC, to streamline the selling of PEERFUELTM. IFT, as
described in Note 5, has acquired Blencathia Acquisition Corporation to
ensure IFT would remain a fully trading and reporting entity on the OTC
Bulletin Board. United States Fuel Technology, Inc., Scientific Fuel
Technology, LLC, and Blencathia Acquisition Corporation were all dissolved
subsequent to their merger into IFT. IFT, as described in Note 10, has
changed its fiscal year end effective with the merger with Blencathia
Acquisition Corporation to December 31. Currently, IFT is testing the
treated diesel fuel in the State of California and hopes the test results
will persuade the State of California to use IFT's product in the State's
diesel engines.
Summaries of IFT's significant accounting policies follow:
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
-----------------------------------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash
----
IFT maintains cash in a bank account, which, at times, exceeds federally
insured limits. IFT has experienced no losses relating to these excess
amounts of cash in a bank.
Machinery and equipment
-----------------------
Machinery and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on
the straight-line method over the appropriate estimated useful lives of the
assets.
Deferred taxes
--------------
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating
losses and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
when, in the opinion of management, it is more
F-8
INTERNATIONAL FUEL TECHNOLOGY, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects
of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Research and Development
------------------------
Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Basic and dilutive net loss per common share
--------------------------------------------
IFT adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128),
Earnings per Share. SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share and replaces primary earnings per share with
a presentation of basic and dilutive earnings per share. Basic earnings
per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings per share are based upon the
weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares
outstanding for the period. Pursuant to SFAS 128, no adjustment is made
for diluted earnings per share purposes since IFT is reporting a net loss
and common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Fair value of financial instruments
------------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards FASB No. 107 (SFAS 107),
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the
disclosure of fair value for all financial instruments as defined in SFAS
107 for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.
The carrying amounts of accounts payable approximate fair value because of
their short maturity.
The fair value of notes payable approximate their carrying basis based on
the nature of these obligations and current interest rates approximating
stated interest rates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
-----------------------------
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", issued in June 1998, requires companies to recognize all
derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a
derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of
which is to match the timing of the gain or loss recognition on the hedging
derivative with the recognition of (1) the changes in the fair value of the
hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (2)
the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative
not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in
income in the period of change. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137
and 138, is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Management does not believe it will have any impact
on the financial statements.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain amounts from the prior years' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
Note 2. Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
IFT's financial statements are presented on the going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. IFT has incurred significant losses since
inception and has previously had limited funds with which to operate.
Management is in the process of executing a strategy based upon developing
pollution emission control technologies that also offer enhanced engine
performance with respect to greater fuel economy. IFT already has one
technology in development, and is seeking to add other technologies through
acquisitions. Management anticipates receiving necessary regulatory and
commercial acceptance for its existing technology and acquired technologies
within the next twelve months. Immediately thereafter, IFT expects to begin
licensing its products and or selling them directly to the commercial
marketplace, with IFT eventually generating a level of revenues sufficient
to meet IFT's working capital requirements. On March 1, 2001, IFT completed
registration of the common shares required by the January 3, 2001
Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement provides for
IFT to sell up to $250,000 in convertible debentures to the IIG Fund every
thirty days. On March 2, 2001 IFT initiated the first convertible debenture
purchase and on March 7, 2001 received $200,000. On October 16, 2000 we
signed a term sheet with The International Investment Group ("IIG") for a
$6 million equity line of credit to be funded $3 million over one year with
a one-year extension, at our option, for an additional $3 million. During
the following months we revised the terms of the October 16, 2000 IIG term
sheet and on January 3, 2001 entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with IIG Equity Opportunities Fund Ltd. ("IIG Fund"), which has a one-year
commitment amount of $3 million, with an option at our control for an
additional $3 million in financing after the completion of the one-year
commitment. The January 3, 2001 Securities Purchase Agreement with the IIG
Fund replaced the October 16, 2000 IIG term sheet. While management can not
make any assurance as to the accuracy of our projections of future capital
needs, it is anticipated that a total of approximately $1.8 million over
the remainder of 2001 will be necessary in order to enable us to meet our
current capital needs. We believe the proceeds from the convertible
debenture financing will be used as follows: $350,000 for specific testing
as part of required regulatory procedures as set by the Air Resources Board
of California ("CARB"), $350,000 for commercial fleet testing programs,
$250,000 for production development and engineering consulting, $1,150,000
for salary and $900,000 working capital for administrative and other
capital needs, including investigation of future acquisitions, if any.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets
or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
possible inability of IFT to continue as a going concern.
Note 3. Acquisitions of Subsidiaries
On April 3, 1998, the stockholders approved a merger with United States
Fuel Technology, Inc. ("USFT"), effective March 31, 1998. USFT was formed
primarily to market PEERFUELSTM in North America. IFT granted USFT an
exclusive license to market its product pursuant to an Amended and Restated
License Agreement dated October 16, 1997, in exchange for 94,400 shares of
USFT common stock. Because IFT did not have a commercially viable product,
USFT did not have any revenues but had incurred some general and
administrative expenses through the date of the merger, the most
significant of which were consulting and professional fees. As a result of
the merger, each non-dissenting holder of outstanding shares of USFT Common
Stock received one share of IFT Common Stock. IFT issued 2,795,979 shares.
This merger has been accounted for as a purchase based upon the net asset
value, which represented the fair value, of USFT on March 31, 1998.
IFT's investment in USFT consisted of the 94,400 shares of USFT common
stock issued to IFT in exchange for certain marketing rights. These shares
were valued at zero by IFT and were redeemed and canceled in connection
with the acquisition of USFT.
F-11
INTERNATIONAL FUEL TECHNOLOGY, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
On May 29, 1998 IFT merged with Scientific Fuel Technology, LLC ("SFT"), a
company related through common ownership. The assets and liabilities of SFT
consisted solely of an agreement whereby SFT would receive 50% of USFT's
rights pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Agreement dated October
16, 1997 with IFT. As IFT did not have a commercially viable product at the
time of the merger with SFT, there had been no payments made to SFT and SFT
had not yet begun operations. This marketing agreement was valued by SFT at
zero due to the uncertainty of the future revenues. SFT had no revenues,
expenses, assets or liabilities as of the date of the purchase. Management
believed it was no longer in IFT's best interest to be contractually bound
to acquire these sales and marketing services from SFT and, accordingly it
initiated the merger with SFT. As a result of the merger, 2,795,979 shares
of IFT were exchanged for the member interests in SFT. The issuance of
these shares was accounted for by recording a discount on common stock
equal to the par value of stock issued.
Note 4. Notes Payable to Stockholders
In March 2000 ONKAR Corporation, Ltd. ("ONKAR"), a stockholder of IFT,
advanced IFT $50,000 which is due in March 2005 and has an annual interest
rate of 6%. In April 2000 ONKAR advanced IFT $50,000 which is due in April
2005 and has an annual interest rate of 6%. In addition, at December 31,
2000 and 1999, IFT has a note payable to ONKAR for $62,500 which is due in
November 2004 at an annual interest rate of 6%. At December 31, 1999 the
$62,500 note payable was classified as a current liability due to payment
provisions in effect at that time.
During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2000 IFT received
advances from stockholders totaling $416,000. IFT repaid $356,000 of the
advances received from the stockholders by issuing 1,186,669 restricted
common shares and repaid $27,500 of the advances received from stockholders
by cash. In connection with the issuance of the 1,186,669 restricted common
shares IFT recognized $237,333 in interest expense due to the fair value of
the stock on the date of extinguishment exceeding the carrying value by
this amount. Notes payable to stockholders totaling $32,500 with an annual
interest of 10% and a due date of April 30, 2001 is recorded as a liability
on the December 31, 2000 balance sheet. In addition to the repayment of
principal each stockholder received a warrant to purchase from IFT up to
25,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per share for each $5,000 in
principal advanced to IFT. The value of the warrants, $1,228,424 based on
the market value of IFT's common stock on the day(s) the advances were
received has been recorded as a discount on the notes payable to
stockholders and as an addition to additional paid in capital. During the
twelve months ended December 31, 2000, $1,228,424 was amortized against the
discount on notes payable to stockholders and recognized as interest
expense.
During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2000 IFT received
advances totaling $374,000 from four individuals. IFT repaid $374,000 of
the advances received by issuing 1,626,086 restricted common shares. In
connection with the issuance of the 1,626,086 restricted common shares IFT
recognized $520,347 in interest expense due to the fair value of the stock
on the date of extinguishment exceeding the carrying value by this amount.
On November 1, 1999, $26,500 due to related party, notes payable of
$677,754 and related accrued interest of $142,820 were converted to common
stock at $2.00 per share. At that date, the closing price of IFT's stock
was $2.84. Additional interest expense of $355,771 was recorded

Note 5. Stockholders' Deficit
On July 7, 1999 the stockholders approved a 1 for 10 reverse stock split
which was effected on July 22, 1999. The effect of the split is presented
within stockholders' deficit at March 31, 1999 by transferring the par
value for the reduction in shares issued from common stock to additional
paid in capital. All references in the financial statements referring to
shares, share prices, per share amounts and stock plans have been adjusted
retroactively for the split.
IFT issued shares to certain founding stockholders during fiscal years 1998
and 1997 in exchange for the technology related to its diesel fuel
treatment business. This technology constituted research and development
expenditures to these stockholders and consistent with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, was not recorded as an asset but rather was recorded
as an expense by these shareholders. Because the subsequent transfer of
this technology to IFT was a transaction between entities under common
control, it was accounted for using the carrying value of the technology
which was zero. A discount on common stock was recorded equal to the par
value of the stock issued in exchange for the technology. The shares were
issued as follows:

April 1997 1,558,084

IFT also issued shares to certain stockholders in exchange for services and
certain corporate officers were issued stock as additional compensation.
Management valued the services that were received at their fair value.
Common stock shares were issued, at par, to equal the fair value of the
services. The fair value of the services and additional compensation was
$128,199 in fiscal 1998. The shares were issued as the services were
rendered as follows:

Certain stockholders who purchased stock for cash were subsequently issued
additional shares of stock for no consideration to adjust the amount of
shares previously issued to them. The adjustment was required due to
shares being sold to stockholders at different prices while the fair value
of the common stock remained consistent. The original shares had been
issued on various dates between July 30, 1996 and September 13, 1997 and
the additional shares were issued with the same date as the original
shares. Since IFT has no retained earnings, a charge to additional paid-
in-capital was recorded to reflect the par value of the stock issued. The
additional shares were issued as follows:

From January through March 1998, a principal shareholder of IFT distributed
1,699,800 of his personal shares to others for services. These services
included providing business contacts to assist IFT in its business plan and
to assist IFT in raising capital. Because there were no formal service
agreements and no specified time frame for the performance of these
services, the cost of the services was recognized at the date the shares
were distributed. The value of the services was deemed to be $169,980 by
the Board of Directors. This amount was expensed in the year ended March
31, 1998 with an increase to additional paid-in capital. During December
1998, the Board of Directors approved issuance of 1,200,000 restricted
shares to a consultant and former Board Chairman. This consultant had been
a founder of IFT, served as Board Chairman and provided
services in connection with the technology of IFT. These shares served as
payment to this consultant for his past services. Because there were no
formal service agreements and no specified time frame for the performance
of these services, the cost of the services was recognized as expense at
the date the shares were distributed. The market value of these shares was
determined by the Board of Directors based upon the private placement of
common stock sold in November 1998 at $5.00 per share. This $6,000,000 was
expensed in the year ended March 31, 1999.
On April 26, 1999 IFT offered all stockholders of record on March 31, 1999
the right to purchase 900 common shares at $.50 per share, a price
determined by IFT's Board of Directors. The market price of IFT's stock on
April 26, 1999 was $1.40 per share. IFT issued 794,740 shares and received
proceeds of $396,450 as a result of this offering which expired May 28,
1999.
IFT issued 2,500 shares on June 2, 1999 to a director. The shares were
issued in exchange for serving as a director. The value of these services
was determined based upon the market value at the date of issuance. IFT
has recorded a charge to operations in the amount of $7,000.
On July 1,1999, IFT entered into a one year advisory agreement with ONKAR
Corporation, Ltd. ("ONKAR") for various services including introductions to
brokers, dealers and potential investors and ONKAR agrees to facilitate the
writing of a minimum of three research reports on IFT. Two of these
research reports have been received by IFT, one dated July 22, 1999 and one
dated August 25, 1999. The third research report was not generated and no
services were

provided after September 30, 1999 due to IFT terminating the agreement. As
consideration for the services, ONKAR received the right to purchase 1.5
million shares of restricted common stock at $.50 per share. These rights
were issued and exercised with IFT receiving cash proceeds of $750,000.
IFT determined the value of the services to be provided based upon the
market value of the common stock, $2.81, on July 1, 1999, the date of the
agreement. The total value of this agreement was determined to be
$4,218,750. The amount in excess of the cash proceeds received of $750,000
has been charged to operations as professional services. No shareholders
of IFT were shareholders of ONKAR prior to this transaction.
On July 13, 1999 IFT entered into employment agreements with its Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer which expired on January 31,
2000. Under the terms of these agreements, these officers each received
base pay of $1,000 per month plus up to a total of 60,000 and 30,000 shares
of IFT's stock, respectively, payable at the end of the initial term of the
agreements. The shares were earned ratably on a monthly basis. The value of
the stock based compensation for these 90,000 shares is $196,875. The stock
based compensation earned through December 31, 1999, $166,585, reflected in
these financial statements as payroll expense and as additional paid in
capital, has been calculated based on the trading price of IFT's stock at
July 13, 1999.
On April 26, 1999 IFT offered all stockholders of record on March 31, 1999
the right to purchase 900 common shares at $.50 per share. During January
2000 IFT issued 1,800 shares and received proceeds of $450 as a result of
this offering which expired May 28, 1999. The $450 for the other 900
shares was received during the nine month period ended December 31, 1999.
During January 2000 IFT issued 100,000 shares of common stock in a private
placement for $200,000 to a company whose sole owner is a director of IFT.
The market value of the shares on the date of issuance was $331,250. The
$131,250 of market value in excess of the cash amount received has been
recorded as consulting expense during the twelve month period ended
December 31, 2000.
The 90,000 shares earned by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating
Officer under employment agreements which expired on January 31, 2000 were
issued on January 31, 2000. The stock based compensation earned through

based on the trading price of IFT's stock at July 13, 1999.
At December 31, 1999, IFT owed one of its stockholders approximately
$87,000 for legal services performed. In February 2000, the stockholder

On February 23, 2000 the Board of Directors granted Jonathan Burst 100,000
shares of IFT's common stock for his appointment as Chief Executive
Officer. The value of these shares, reflected in these financial
statements as payroll expense, has been calculated based on the trading
price of IFT's stock at February 23, 2000. On February 23, 2000 the Board
of Directors awarded an initial grant of 100,000 shares of IFT's common
stock to William Lindenmayer for his appointment as President and Chief

expense for these transactions was $550,000.
In February 2000, we entered into a convertible debenture purchase
agreement to raise $3,000,000 through the sale of convertible debentures to
GEM Global Yield Fund, Ltd. and Turbo International Ltd. ("GEM"). During
June 2000 this agreement was amended to raise $1,500,000 through the sale
of convertible debentures to GEM. In connection with the convertible
debenture purchase agreement IFT issued a warrant to GEM for the purchase
of 390,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per common share. During February
2000 IFT issued 195,000 shares of common stock and placed them in escrow in
accordance with the convertible debenture purchase agreement entered into
in February 2000. The shares were to be released from escrow and issued to
the purchasers of the convertible debenture in the event of an uncured
default by IFT prior to the closing of the convertible debenture purchase
agreement. The 195,000 shares of common stock were released to the
purchasers of the convertible debenture purchase agreement in conjunction
with an amendment to the convertible debenture purchase agreement dated
June 16, 2000, and were recorded as an investment advisory fee of $109,688
based on the trading price of IFT's stock.

Corporation ("Blencathia"). Blencathia had 300,000 shares outstanding at
the time of the merger, which it redeemed and canceled. In exchange for
300,000 shares of Blencathia's common stock, IFT issued 300,000 shares of

to the management of IFT that the 300,000 shares will be sold only with
IFT's approval. If the shares are sold and $500,000 is not generated
additional shares may need to be issued to the shareholders of Blencathia.
Based on the December 31, 2000 market price, $.34, of IFT's common stock, a

Note 7. Income Taxes
For income tax purposes approximately $13,535,000 of IFT's expenses are
considered start-up costs to be amortized over five years beginning with the
commencement of operations. IFT has not started amortization of these startup
costs as of December 31, 2000. For accounting purposes these start-up costs have
been expensed. IFT has an approximate net operating loss carryforward of
$7,559,000 as of December 31, 2000. This approximate net operating loss will
expire as follows: $33,000 in year 2011, $600,000 in year 2012, $5,140,000 in
year 2018, $1,784,000 in year 2019 and $2,000 in the year 2020. Due to the
inherent uncertainty in forecasts of future events and operating results, IFT
has provided for a valuation allowance in an amount equal to the net deferred
tax asset arising from this net operating loss carryforward and startup costs.
No income tax benefit has been recorded in the statement of operations due to
the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.
