NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial information is unaudited, but, in the opinion of the
management, reflects all adjustments (which included only normally recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position,
operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
1998 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
2. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Organization: Quintessence Oil Company was incorporated on June 26, 1996. Under
the laws of the State of Wyoming. The Company has adopted a year ending of
December 31.
The Company was organized to engage in the development, production and sale of
oil and gas. Since its inception, the Company has been largely inactive and has
conducted no significant operations. The Company does not own any operating oil
and gas leases.
Because of the speculative nature of the Company, there are significant risks
which are summarized as follows:
Newly formed company with no operating history.
Limited funds available for development and production.
The Company was considered to be in the development stage as defined in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, prior to May 28, 1999. There
had been no operations since incorporation. On May 28th, the company entered the
transportation technology industry where its core business is the manufacturing
and marketing of marine pleasure boat engines.
On October 18, 1999, the registrant re-incorporated in the State of Delaware and
changed its name to Torque Engineering Corporation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Principles:
---------------------------------------------
Registration costs included fee payments for legal expenses relating to public
stock offering. The offering was successful, and $7,500 of legal fees were
charged to additional paid-capital.
The Company amortizes organization costs over 60 months using the straight line
method.

shares pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in Regulation 504 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act"). Regulation 504 provides
that the Company can sell securities with an aggregate offering price not
exceeding $1,000,000 within a twelve (12) month period without registration with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On March 25th, 1999, the Company sold 4,870,000 shares in a private placement at
$0.001 per share.
On May 28th, 1999, the company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock in
exchange for 100% of the outstanding stock of IPSL, Inc. The acquisition of IPSL
brought to the company the rights, patents, tooling, designs, machinery,
inventory and facilities to commence production of the Torque V-12 Engine. The
engine, designed especially for the pleasure boating industry, is a 14-liter, 90
degree, sequentially fuel injected, advanced V-12, all aluminum, light weight,
powerful engine that delivers 900 horsepower and 1100 foot pounds of torque on
pump gasoline.
On September 15, 1999 the Registrant raised an aggregate of $1,500,005.00 by
selling 461,540 shares of Restricted Common Stock at $3.25 per share. Such
shares were sold in a private placement to persons theretofore unaffiliated with
