Results of Operations
The Company realized a net loss from operations of $634,963 for the six months
ending May 31, 1999. The Company for the six months ending May 31, 1998 had a
net loss from operations of $902,505.
The company had revenue of $25,655 for the quarter ending May 31, 1999. The
revenue source was the sale of the ConEd PrimeLink Manhattan pilot test units.
The Company had no revenue for the quarter ending May 31, 1998.
Plan of Operation
Loss on operations for the Company for the six months May 31, 1999 decreased 32%
from the prior year for the same period. These losses are attributed to the
Company's development, marketing and general expense. The Company will, over the
next 12 months, rely on the revenues from its subsidiaries, collection of notes
receivables and additional funding through the sale of common stock or loans
collateralized through common stock. The company had no revenues in fiscal 1998.
Development of the subsidiaries' products will continue throughout the year with
no expected purchase of significant equipment or plants in the near term.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 1999, the Company had a negative working capital of $1,776,485
consisting of $3,164 in current assets and $1,779,649 in current liabilities.
The Company had negative working capital of $1,030,190 as of May 31, 1998. The
Company is dependent on achieving profitable operations through its acquisitions
and the collection of outstanding receivables to continue as a going concern.
The Company had total assets of $474,520 as of May 31, 1999, and total
liabilities of $1,779,649. Shareholder equity(deficit) is ($1,305,129), as
compared to $396,525 as of May 31, 1998. The company issued 131,900 shares of
common stock for cash and services during the quarter ending May 31, 1998.
Cash Flows
The Company had a net loss for the six months ending May 31, 1999, of $634,805.
The net cash used in operations toward this loss was $308,549. The largest area
of loss was the result of non-cash transactions to the Company. Depreciation and
amortization expenses were $68,261. Services to the company that were not paid
with cash totaled $19,920.
The Company issued $22,402 of stock, restricted under rule 144 or regulation
"S", and $127,600 of new debt to finance the operating losses for the quarter
ending May 31, 1999.
The Company's management plans for correcting these deficiencies include the
future sales of the licensed products and services. Working capital to meet the
Company's operating expenses will be raised through the issuance of common
stock. In the longer term, the Company plans to achieve profitability through
the subsidiaries operations; however there are no assurances that profitability
will be achieved. The Company has experienced negative cash flow from operations
since inception and expects to continue to experience negative cash flow from
operations for the near term.
Effect of inflation
Inflation did not have any significant effect on the operations of the company
during the quarter ended May 31, 1999. Further,
inflation is not expected to have any significant effect on future operations of
the Company.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Impact
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," (SFAS No. 130) issued by the FASB is effective for financial statements
with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier adoption is
permitted. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 130 to
have an effect, if any, on its financial position or its results of operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments
Of An Enterprise And Related Information," (SFAS 131) issued by the FASB is
effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. Earlier application is permitted. SFAS No. 131 requires that public
companies report certain information about operating segments, products,
services and geographical areas in which they operate and their major customers.
The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 131 to have an effect on its
financial position or results of operations; however, additional disclosures may
be made relating to the above items.
Y2K Compliance
The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify the
systems that could be affected by the "Y2K" issue and has implementation plan to
resolve the issue. The Company presently believes that with modifications to
existing software and converting to new software, which the Company is
implementing on a timely basis, the "Y2K" problem will not pose significant
operational problems for the Company's computer systems as so modified and
converted. Estimated costs associated with this conversion are anticipated to be
minimal. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be
materially adversely affected as a result of the "Y2K" compliance measures or
the failure of any such measures.
PART II
Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On March 5, 1999 the Company entered into an Amended Final Judgment of Permanent
Injunctive Relief with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Conectisys Corp. et al., Civil Case number
96-4146 (MRP). The Company and the SEC agreed on a settlement in which the
Company would dismiss its then pending appeal and take a permanent injunction
that the company would not in the future violate sections 5(a), 5(c), 17(a) d,
10(b), 10(b-5), or 15(c); in return the SEC would not demand the previously
ordered discouragement of $175,000.00.
On March 26, 1999 the District Court of Arapahoe, State of Colorado dismissed
the civil case against Conectisys Corp. brought by Clamar Capital Corporation.

County against Conectisys Corporation alleging "breech of contract" for work in
1998. The Company believes the suit is without merit and plans to defend the
Company's position. A judgement for the plaintiff, for its claim, will not
materially affect the Company `s finances.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Conectisys Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of
Colorado on February 3, 1986, to analyze and invest in business
opportunities as they may occur.
TechniLink has developed the Cube 2001 series for the monitoring and
controlling of various devices in the petroleum and gas industry.
PrimeLink has developed a product line that uses cutting edge
communications to assist in the monitoring of meters for utility companies
and the petroleum industry. This technology, while eliminating the need
for a meter reader, is more significant in enabling the utility companies
to utilize energy conservation and, in the case of power companies,
re-routing of electrical power to areas where it is needed. The devices
are also in use in vending machines to monitor sales and functions of the
vending machine without the physical inspection usually needed.
Effective December 1, 1994, the Company agreed to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Progressive Administrators, Inc. ("PAI") in exchange
for 300,000 shares of its no par value common stock. The transaction was
to be accounted for as a purchase transaction. The shares to be issued by
the Company were to be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule
144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, PAI would have
been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as of December 1, 1994. PAI
was formed in the state of Colorado on September 14, 1994 and is engaged
in the records storage business.
Effective December 1, 1994, the Company also agreed to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Creative Image Products, Inc. ("CIPI") in exchange
for 575,000 shares of its no par value common stock. The shares were
issued in February of 1995. The shares issued by the Company were
"restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, CIPI was a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company as of December 1, 1994. CIPI was formed in the state of
Kansas on April 29, 1994 and is engaged in the insecticide business and,
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ADA Signature Distributors,
Inc., the sign manufacturing business. During 1995, the Company's only
operations consisted of CIPI's manufacturing of organic insecticides prior
to its disposal. On September 28, 1995, the Company entered into an
agreement to unwind the acquisition of CIPI. CIPI issued a promissory note
to the Company in the amount of $1,302,500 to reimburse the Company for
cash advances. In accordance with the agreement, the shares issued to CIPI
were exchanged for all shares issued to the Company. The shares
outstanding carry no value on the financial statements. In 1997, the
Company wrote-off this note receivable as it was deemed uncollectible.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization (continued)
On February 15, 1996, PrimeLink entered into a Joint Marketing and
Development Agreement (the "Agreement") with SkyTel Corp. pursuant to
which PrimeLink agreed to customize and develop a paging technology based
receiver for use in connection with SkyTel's two-way wireless messaging
services and system (the "SkyTel Network") and both parties agreed to
assist each other in the marketing of the Primelink product and the SkyTel
Network. The Company believes that the joint marketing of its product with
the SkyTel System could have significant potential for the Company.
However, the Agreement does not require any purchases of the PrimeLink
product by SkyTel, and may not necessarily result in any significant
revenues for the Company. The Agreement is for a two-year term, and will
automatically renew for additional one-year terms until terminated by
either party.
In September 1995, the Company acquired 80% of the outstanding stock of
TechniLink, Inc., a California corporation, and 80% of the outstanding
stock of PrimeLink, Inc., a Kansas corporation, in exchange for an
aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The
acquisitions were accounted for as purchases. Both PrimeLink and
TechniLink are start-up companies with no material operating activity and
therefore no pro forma statements of operations were provided for 1995.
The acquisitions of these companies occurred in connection with the
signing of the license agreements discussed in Note 8. The Company issued
a total of 700,000 shares of common stock and assumed a loan of $400,000
to acquire the licenses and the Corporations. The only major asset
acquired from PrimeLink and TechniLink was the license and technology. The
stock issued was valued at $1,750,000, the fair market value of common
stock issued, and is included in licenses and technology on the balance
sheet.
On July 22, 1998, the Company acquired the remaining 20% interest in
TechniLink, Inc. for 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
$59,247.
Basis of presentation and going concern uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
transactions of Conectisys Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary
TechniLink, Inc., and its 80% owned subsidiary PrimeLink, Inc. All
material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Certain prior year
amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
The Company returned to the development stage in accordance with SFAS No.
7 on December 1, 1990 and during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995.
The Company has completed two mergers and is in the process of developing
its technology and product lines.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 1999
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and going concern uncertainty (continued)
As of May 31, 1999, the Company had a deficiency in working capital of
approximately $1,780,000 which raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans for correcting these deficiencies include the future
sales of their newly licensed products and to raise capital through the
issuance of common stock to assist in providing the Company with the
liquidity necessary to retire the outstanding debt and meet operating
expenses. In the longer term, the Company plans to achieve profitability
through the operations of the subsidiaries. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of the recorded asset amounts or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily
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 consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires that the Company disclose
estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The following summary
presents a description of the methodologies and assumptions used to
determine such amounts. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point
in time and are based on relevant market information and information about
the financial instrument; they are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties, matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined
with precision. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount
that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire
holdings of a particular instrument. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.
Since the fair value is estimated at May 31, 1999, the amounts that will
actually be realized or paid at settlement of the instruments could be
significantly different.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is assumed to be the fair
value because of the liquidity of these instruments. Accounts payable,
accrued compensation, other current liabilities, and notes payable
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 1999
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit and highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on
property and equipment using the straight-line method over the expected
useful lives of the assets, which are generally five years for vehicles
and office equipment and seven years for furniture and fixtures.
Licensing agreements
The costs of acquiring license rights are capitalized and amortized over
the shorter of the estimated useful life of the license or the term of the
license agreement. The licenses are being amortized over a period of five
years. During the year ended November 30, 1997, the Company generated some
revenues from the licenses it had previously acquired, albeit none from
the TecniLink license and deferred technology. Accordingly, these assets
were written-down to their net realizable value, resulting in an expense
of $384,471. Although management had planned to develop and market the
technology, the balance of the carrying value of the older licenses and
deferred technology was written-off during the year ended November 30,
1998 as a consequence of persistent competitive pressure. The expense
incurred was $632,257.
Technology
Deferred technology costs include capitalized product development and
product improvement costs incurred after achieving technological
feasibility and are amortized over a period of five years.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed
Of" (SFAS No. 121) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. The standard establishes new guidelines regarding
when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include plant and
equipment,certain identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, should be
recognized and how impairment losses should be measured.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting for stock-based compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) establishes a fair value method
of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and for transactions in
which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in exchange
for equity instruments. The Company adopted this accounting standard on
January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 also encourages, but does not require,
companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee
compensation. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based
compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured
as the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the Company's stock at
the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the
stock. Also, in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the Company has provided
footnote disclosures with respect to stock-based employee compensation.
The cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date on the
value of the award, and this cost is then recognized as compensation
expense over the service period. The value of the stock-based award is
determined using a pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess
of the fair market value of the stock as determined by the model at the
grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay
to acquire the stock.
Stock issued for non-cash consideration
Shares of the Company's no par value common stock issued in exchange for
goods or services are valued at the cost of the goods or services received
or at the market value of the shares issued, depending on the ability to
estimate the value of the goods or services received.
Income taxes
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 109, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial
statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and
assets are determined based on the difference between the financial
statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets using the enacted rates
in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Net loss per common share - diluted
Net loss per common share - diluted is based on the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding for the periods
presented. Common equivalent shares representing the common shares that
would be issued on exercise of convertible securities and outstanding
stock options and warrants reduced by the number of shares which could be
purchased from the related exercise proceeds are not included since their
effect would be anti-dilutive.
New accounting pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," (SFAS No. 130) issued by the FASB is effective for
financial statements with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Earlier adoption is permitted. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full
set of general purpose financial statements. The Company does not expect
adoption of SFAS No. 130 to have a material effect on its financial
position or its results of operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosure About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," (SFAS No. 131) issued
by the FASB is effective for financial statements with fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is permitted. SFAS
No. 131 requires that public companies report certain information about
operating segments, products, services and geographical areas in which
they operate and their major customers. The Company does not expect
adoption of SFAS No. 131 to have an effect on its financial position or
results of operations; however, additional disclosures may be made
relating to the above items.

the stock of Conectisys and artificially inflating the price of its
shares. In the suit, the SEC sought permanent injunctions from violating
securities laws. The SEC did not seek any civil penalties from the
Company. The courts, having conducted a trial of this matter without jury
and taken it under submission, found for the plaintiff as follows: against
Conectisys on the claim that the defendant violated section 5(a), 5(c),
and 17(a). Conectisys was not found to have violated section 10(b),
10(b-5), or 15(c). The Company was subsequently ordered to disgorge
profits totaling $175,000. On March 5, 1999, the Company entered into an
Amended Final Judgment of Permanent Injunctive Relief with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company and the SEC agreed on a
settlement in which the Company would dismiss its then pending appeal and
take a permanent injunction that it would not in the future violate
sections 5(a), 5(c), 17(a), 10(b), 10(b-5), or 15(c); in return the SEC
would not demand the previously ordered disgorgement of $175,000.
The second case was brought by Clamar Capital Corp. (the "Plaintiff")
against Smith Benton & Hughes; Michael Zaman; Claudia Zaman; Andrew Pitt
and Conectisys Corp. (collectively the "Defendants"). The case was brought
before the District Court of Arapahoe, State of Colorado, Case #
97-CV-1442, Division 3. The Plaintiff did not specify an amount of damages
that it sought from the Defendants. On March 26, 1999, the District Court
of Arapahoe, State of Colorado, dismissed the civil case against
Conectisys Corp. brought by Clamar Capital Corp.

NOTE 11. YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 readiness issue, which is common to most businesses, arises
from the inability of information systems, and other time and
date-sensitive products and systems, to properly recognize and process
date-sensitive information or system failures. Assessments of the
potential cost and effects of Year 2000 issues vary significantly among
businesses, and it is extremely difficult to predict the actual impact.
Recognizing this uncertainty, management is continuing to actively
analyze, assess and plan for various Year 2000 issues in its business.
The Year 2000 issue has an impact on both information technology ("IT")
systems and non-IT systems, such as the Company's physical facilities
including, but not limited to, security systems and utilities. Although
management believes that a majority of the Company's IT systems are Year
2000 ready, such systems still have to be tested for Year 2000 readiness.
The Company is replacing or upgrading those systems that are identified as
non-Year 2000 compliant. Certain IT systems previously identified as
non-Year 2000 compliant are being upgraded or replaced, which should be
complete by October 15, 1999. Non-IT system issues are more difficult to
identify and resolve. The Company is actively identifying non-IT Year 2000
issues concerning its products and services, as well as its physical
facility locations. As non-IT areas are identified, management formulates
the necessary actions to ensure minimal disruption to its business
processes. Although management believes that its efforts will be
successful and the costs will be immaterial (i.e., less than $5,000) to
its financial position and results of operations, it also recognizes that
any failure or delay could cause a potential impact.
The Company has initiated efforts to ensure Year 2000 readiness of its
products and services. The Company's key financial and other in-house
systems are already materially compliant.
The Company has also initiated efforts to assess the Year 2000 readiness
of its key suppliers. The Company's direction of this effort is to ensure
the adequacy of resources and supplies to minimize any potential business
interruptions. management also plans to complete this part of its Year
2000 readiness plan by October 15, 1999.
