Item 5. Other Events.
McKenzie Bay International, Ltd. (the "Company") issued a press release,
dated January 19, 2004 entitled-"Pacific Ocean WindStor sales agent engaged."
PRESS RELEASE
Pacific Ocean WindStor sales agent engaged
Monday January 19, 1:13 pm ET
BRIGHTON, MI, and VOLCANO, HI, Jan. 19, 2004 - McKenzie Bay
International Ltd. (OTC:MKBY.PK - News) has signed a sales agency agreement with
Millennium Power Group, LLC ("MPG") of Volcano, Hawaii. MPG will introduce
WindStor(SM) to their clients and other prospective customers, primarily Islands
of the Pacific Ocean region. MPG is a system integrator that markets, designs,
installs and operates a full product line of renewable energy systems to
generate clean, reliable and economic power. Components may include advanced
Water, Tidal, Solar, Wind, Biomass, Geothermal, Thermal Electric Generation,
Hydrogen Generation and Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology.
"Many of our clients have average electrical costs in excess of US$0.25/kWh due
to high costs associated with diesel power in remote locations. WindStor
provides a means to replace diesel provided power as the primary power source
with 'Green' wind energy." said Bill Meyer, President of MPG. "We are excited
about this opportunity to introduce WindStor's ability to lower the cost of
distributed energy, while simultaneously improving power quality and providing
an uninterruptible, standby, power supply, to our island clients."
"Without the ability to store and distribute power, maximum penetration from a
standalone wind turbine in a diesel powered location is approximately 10% for
minimal operating cost reductions." said Gary Westerholm, Chairman and President
of McKenzie Bay. "WindStor's ability to generate, store and distribute wind
power increases maximum penetration from wind power to more than 50% thereby
displacing diesel generators as the primary power source affording significant
cost and pollution reductions."

About WindStor
WindStor is a "Green Energy" electricity generation, storage and distribution
system for "urban" and "remote" locations designed to integrate with existing
sources of electricity. WindStor's proprietary "System Integrator" automatically
selects the lowest cost electricity input from either a DERMOND Wind Turbine
DWT(SM) or primary supply source or other source(s). All electricity input is
routed through a vanadium-based battery to the customer. The DWT and System
Integrator are DERMOND INC components (McKenzie Bay subsidiary) and the vanadium
battery is outsourced.

and concentration of ownership of the Company's common stock by directors and
