NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) September 30, 2005 1. GENERAL The unaudited condensed statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for each of the periods presented. The results of operations for interim statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved for full fiscal years. The consolidated financial statements present the accounts of AEC, I, Inc., Alternate Energy Corp. and 2040412 Ontario Inc. The consolidated entities will hereinafter be referred to as the Company. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes have been condensed and do not contain certain information that will be included in THE COMPANY'S annual financial statements and footnotes thereto. For further information, refer to the financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in THE COMPANY'S annual report on Form 10-KSB. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for its income taxes under the liability method specified by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of future tax liabilities projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. 5 LOSS PER SHARE THE COMPANY reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, EARNING PER SHARE. SFAS No 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shares by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if the securities or other CONTRACTS to issue stock were exercised and converted to common stock. Basic weighted average shares outstanding September 30, 2005 were 74,900,715 December 31, 2004 - 74,870,715. 2. CAPITAL STOCK No new shares were issued during this period. ITEM. 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and the notes thereto included herein. The information contained below includes statements of AEC I's or management's beliefs, expectations, hopes, goals and plans that, if not historical, are forward-looking statements subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report may contain forward-looking statements. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "intend" or "project" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. 6 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS We are an alternate energy holding company that provides specialized solutions through our operating subsidiaries, referred to as our group companies. We seek to grow both organically and by acquisition. We incorporated as Environmental Motor Corp., a Delaware corporation, on March 22, 2000. On July 3, 2001 we changed our name to Alternate Energy Corporation. On September 27, 2002 we merged with Alternate Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation, for the purposes of changing our domicile to Nevada. In February 2003, we entered into an agreement with COI Solutions, Inc., a public company, to sell substantially all our assets in exchange for 104,870,715 shares of COI's common stock. The sale of our assets included the sale of the name "Alternate Energy Corporation," so on March 4, 2003 we changed our name to AEC I, Inc. Our activities range from complete operational control over the business to involvement in the management of our group companies in which we maintain controlling or significant holdings. We participate in the management of our group companies by means of active membership on their boards of directors and board committees. As a result, we are involved in matters of policy, strategic planning, marketing, selecting and manning senior management positions, approving investments and budgets, financing and the overall ongoing monitoring of our group companies' performance. In addition to our representation on the boards of directors of our group companies, we provide hands-on assistance to the group companies' management in support of their growth. We view our hands-on involvement in the operations of our group companies as a key element of our business. Our group companies therefore benefit from the experience of our management team in various areas in which they need support and leadership, including, but not limited to, budgetary control, legal support, market analysis, risk management, identifying joint venture opportunities, introductions to potential customers and investors, business plan preparation, strategic planning and research and development guidance. We expect to continue to build and realize value for our shareholders through the sale of a portion of our holdings in, or the issuance of shares by any of our group companies to third parties, while simultaneously pursuing the acquisition of, or investment in, new and existing companies and building our group companies. We believe that this strategy provides the ability to increase shareholder value as well as capital to support the growth of our group companies. We expect to make additional acquisitions in companies that design and develop fuel cells, engines that run on alternative fuels, production of alternate fuels and the production of materials used in alternate fuel applications. Since our formation we have made one acquisition, namely Alternate Energy Corp. (ARGY). The business overview discussed below is presented in accordance with our subsidiary and corporate operations. 7 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and critical accounting policies that are most important in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations include those listed below: DEFERRED CONSULTING COSTS Shares have been issued to service providers and consultants over the term of contracts ranging from 1 to 2 years. Shares have been issued at the fair market value price at date of contract signing and the expense will be amortized over the term of the contract. IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS WITH INDEFINITE LIVES On May 22, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under the new statement, the Company no longer amortizes intangible assets with indefinite lives, but instead tests for impairment on at least an annual basis. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company evaluates the carrying value of other intangible assets annually as of December 31 and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether the other intangible asset is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the other intangible asset is assigned to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of the other intangible assets, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of its intangibles. The initial evaluation of the intangible assets completed as of October 1, 2003 in accordance with SFAS No. 142 resulted in no impairment losses. Additionally, the Company performed its periodic review of its intangible assets for impairment as of December 31, 2004, and did not identify any asset impairment as a result of the review. 8 STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company applies the fair value based method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION in accounting for its stock options granted to both employees and non-employees. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant based on the fair market value of the stock and expensed in the period which the option was granted. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005, For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, AEC I had no revenues. EXPENSES On a consolidated basis, we had total expenses of $381,009 and $1,413,750 in the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. . Nearly all expenses occurred in our majority owned subsidiary, Alternate Energy Corporation (AEC), where expenses for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 consisted of $60,452 in administrative expenses, $244,011 in consulting fees, $48,176 in professional fees and $23,896 in amortization. During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, AEC's expenses decreased significantly comparative to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, mostly due to consulting fees, which were $1,191,622 in the 2004 period. The decrease is attributed to the utilization of core consultants relative to the focus on research and development pertaining to its hydrogen production system, its demonstration units and its marketing and operation strategy. There were also shares issued to select consultants to the company reducing the total fees due. There was a decrease of $63,397 in administrative expenses for the period ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The reason for this decrease can be referred to shares of the company that were issued relating to R&D, the utilization of core consultants as well as the sub leasing of our Tennessee facility, all of which has lowered administrative costs by more than half of the administrative expenses incurred comparative to the period ending September 30, 2004. Professional fees were $48,176 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to $98,279 for the same period in 2004. The prior years professional fees were higher due to private placements and financing completed along with the legal fees associated with it. There were no substantial expenses attributable to AEC I during this period. Over the next 12 months, AEC1 anticipates that its expenses will not increase substantially over its expenses in fiscal year 2004. AEC1 will continue pursuing the acquisitions of, or investment in, new and existing companies and building our group companies. As well as the continuing involvement in the growth of our group companies 9 NET LOSS On a consolidated basis we had a net loss of $381,009 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared with a net loss of $1,413,750 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004. The decrease of $1,032,741 in the net loss for the 2005 fiscal quarter compared to the 2004 fiscal quarter relates to the overall reduction of professional, consulting and administrative fees for AEC in the 2005 period. Management believes that, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, AEC will only be able to reduce its net loss if AEC can create and sustain significant revenues from its hydrogen production system. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We have incurred a net loss of $381,009 and $1,413,750 for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. On a consolidated basis we had $106,618 in cash on hand as of September 30, 2005. Management may obtain additional capital principally through the sale of our equity securities of those of AEC. The realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon AEC ultimately obtaining profitable operations. However, no assurances can be given that AEC will be successful in these activities. Should any of these events not occur, the accompanying financial statements will be materially affected. Due to no cash generated from operations, AEC currently does not internally generated cash sufficient to pay all of its incurred expenses and other liabilities. As a result, AEC is dependent on investor capital and loans to meet its expenses and obligations. Although investor funds have allowed AEC to meet its obligations in the recent past, there can be no assurances that AEC's present methods of generating cash flow will be sufficient to meet future obligations. Historically, AEC has, from time to time, been able to raise additional capital, but there can be no assurances that AEC will be able to raise additional capital in this manner. Net cash used in operating activities was $(1,758,976) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. Net cash obtained from financing activities was $0 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, compared with $0 for the three month period ended September 30, 2004. On March 2, 2005, AEC entered into a private placement with certain accredited investors whereby these investors have purchased $1,500,000 in convertible notes, with Class A Warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to the number of shares to which the Notes are convertible at a price of $.40 per share expiring in 3 years and with Class B Warrants to purchase up to an additional $1.5 million in AEC's common shares at 70% of the average closing bid price for the 5 days preceding the notice to exercise and expiring 90 days after the registration statement registering the shares has been declared effective. The note carries an interest rate of 6%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears in either cash or stock of AEC, at AEC's discretion. 10 The Notes are convertible into shares of AEC at 70% of the average closing bid price for the 5 days preceding the notice to convert with a floor of $.15 and a ceiling of $.35 per share. The Company has received $500,000 in cash from the investors and will receive an additional $1,000,000 upon its registration statement filed with the SEC being declared effective. Class C Warrants are being issued to Westor Online, Inc., the placement agent for the transaction. The warrant allows for the purchase of 400,000 shares at $.40 per share and 400,000 shares at $1.00 per share, exercisable for 3 years from the date of the closing. The investors are additionally getting 200,000 Class C Warrants. In January 2004, AEC entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Palisades Master Fund LP, Crescent International Ltd., Alpha Capital AG, Bristol Investment Fund, Ltd., Ellis International Limited, Inc., Vertical Ventures, LLC, Platinum Partners, Abraham Schwartz, Colbart Birnet, Chana Braun, Ronald Nash, Marketwise Trading, West End Convertible Fund, and a trust account pursuant to which AEC sold a total of 5,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase a total of 2,750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The warrants have a three year term. AEC received gross proceeds of $2,750,000 from this transaction. In December 2003, AEC entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with LRG Holdings Inc., Professional Traders Fund LLC, Generation Capital Associates, First Mirage Inc., Truk Opportunity Fund LLC, pursuant to which AEC sold a total of 1,060,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase a total of 471,112 shares of common stock and an exercise price of $1.20 per share. The warrants have a three year term. AEC received gross proceeds of $530,000 from this transaction. May 22, 2003, AEC issued 104,870,715 shares of common stock to AEC 1, Inc. in exchange for technology, products and licenses. There are no assurances that AEC will be able to raise sufficient funds to meet long-term capital needs. AEC may also seek alternative sources of financing, including from more conventional sources such as bank loans and credit lines. Again, no assurances can be given that AEC will be able to meet its needs through the sale of securities or otherwise. Further, the availability of any future financing may not be on terms that are satisfactory to AEC. From time to time, AEC may evaluate potential acquisitions involving complementary businesses, content, products or technologies. AEC has no present agreements or understanding with respect to any such acquisition. AEC's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including growth of AEC's business, the success of its operations, economic conditions and other factors including the results of future operations. 11 PLAN OF OPERATION AEC1 will continue in its involvement in the management of our group companies in which we maintain controlling or significant holdings. We will continue to participate in the management of our group companies by means of active membership on their boards of directors and board committees. As a result, we will be involved in matters of policy, strategic planning, marketing, selecting and manning senior management positions, approving investments and budgets, financing and the overall ongoing monitoring of our group companies' performance. In addition to our representation on the boards of directors of our group companies, we will provide hands-on assistance to the group companies' management in support of their growth. We view our hands-on involvement in the operations of our group companies as a key element of our business. Our group companies will therefore benefit from the experience of our management team in various areas in which they need support and leadership, including, but not limited to, budgetary control, legal support, market analysis, risk management, identifying joint venture opportunities, introductions to potential customers and investors, business plan preparation, strategic planning and research and development guidance. We expect to continue to build and realize value for our shareholders through the sale of a portion of our holdings in, or the issuance of shares by any of our group companies to third parties, while simultaneously pursuing the acquisition of, or investment in, new and existing companies and building our group companies. We believe that this strategy provides the ability to increase shareholder value as well as capital to support the growth of our group companies. We expect to make additional acquisitions in companies that design and develop fuel cells, engines that run on alternative fuels, production of alternate fuels and the production of materials used in alternate fuel applications. Over the next twelve months, AEC will continue to focus on the development of the ICE (internal combustion engine) and fuel cell generator sets for demonstration to investors and potential customers of AEC's hydrogen fuel production capability. The ICE generators will use our hydrogen as fuel throughout the demonstration, produced on the spot by AEC's hydrogen production unit the H2 1500-A1. Our first alpha-stage unit, the H2 1500-A1, was recently demonstrated before two separate multinational engine companies in the U.S. This mobile "road show" was set up on-site with each organization, to review AEC's small scale, on-demand Hydrogen Production technology and discuss business opportunities. The company is on schedule with its product development timetable to take advantage of several opportunities with targeted organizations. These meetings are the beginning of a series of such meetings, whereby Alternate Energy Corporation will be showcasing its hydrogen production technology to a list of prospective commercial customers, potential licensees, select government and institutional contacts and other interested commercial parties. These groups have been pre-qualified as having a demonstrated need for clean, alternative power. These developments parallel AEC's recent work on its hydrogen production unit for use with the Astris E8 alkaline fuel cell. The fuel cell and ICE platforms are expected to provide AEC with multiple market opportunities and greater revenue potential. We have and will also continue to refine our hydrogen production process. Due to the strict purity and volume requirements of a fuel cell, our technical team has worked and continues to work in conjunction with a number of recognized independent laboratories to ensure that outputs meet acceptable levels. 12 As of Nov 4th, 2005 the company has made formal application for a patent on its technology. The company has also filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in connection with its proprietary process of producing pure hydrogen. As a result of working closely with Experchem Laboratories of Toronto, Canada over the past nine months, our method of producing hydrogen has benefited from significant enhancements. The modifications and improvements to our hydrogen production process have resulted in a more efficient production process, an increased production of hydrogen, and the ability to produce what we believe to be a saleable, in-demand by-product. This by-product, however, may provide us with a source of future revenue, which could partially offset the cost of our hydrogen production and accelerate our entry into the $3 billion (USD) bulk hydrogen market. A provisional patent application establishes an official United States patent application filing date for an invention and permits one year's authorization to use a "Patent Pending" notice in connection with the invention and to assess the invention's commercial potential before committing to the higher cost of filing and prosecuting a non-provisional application for patent. In order to accomplish and continue with these steps management estimates that the Company we will require half a million dollars towards the end of Fiscal year ended 2005 and several million dollars towards the end of fiscal year ended 2006. As the Company does not have any current revenue, such funds will come from loans from officers and private placements of the Company's common stock. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company's disclosure control objectives. The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level. In addition, we reviewed our internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last valuation or from the end of the reporting period to the date of this Form 10-QSB. 13 PART II ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On August 15, 2002 the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil lawsuit against the Company, its former CEO and other individuals. SEC v. COI Solutions, et al. Case No. 02-80766-CIV-Hurley. The SEC alleged in its complaint that COI Solutions, while under prior management, engaged in a scheme to pay illegal kickbacks to representatives of a European fund contrived by the FBI and made false and misleading statements in filing on Form S-8. This litigation has been settled. We neither admitted nor denied liability and agreed to not violate the Federal securities laws in the future. There was no penalty or other money paid by us to settle this matter. On October 22, 2004 we sued Russell Rothman in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Case No. 04-CV-277760CM2). We are seeking the rescission of agreements between us and Rothman, return of shares paid to him, and return of money paid. We had entered into an agreement with Rothman for the purchase of certain technology related to the production of hydrogen gas. Rothman represented to us that he had all right title and interest in the technology and had the ability to sell the technology. We alleged in our lawsuit that Rothman had in fact sold the technology to other companies, and on more than one occasion, prior to entering into the agreement with us. We additionally allege that the technology he purported to sell did not work. We do not rely on the Rothman technology for the production of hydrogen. We have developed our own proprietary processes for producing hydrogen. Rothman has counterclaimed against us for breach of contract in the amount of $2 billion and is asking for punitive damages in the amount of $10 million. We believe that the counterclaim is completely without merit. Mr. Rothman's attorney has withdrawn from the case and the Court has ordered Mr. Rothman to obtain new counsel by July 28, 2005. Mr. Rothman has obtained new counsel and a court date has been set for December 9th, 2005. ITEM 2. CHANGE IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS In March 2005, the company entered into a private placement with certain accredited investors whereby these investors have purchased $1,500,000 in convertible notes, with Class A Warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to the number of shares to which the Notes are convertible at a price of $.40 per share expiring in 3 years and with Class B Warrants to purchase up to an additional $1.5 million in the Company's common shares at 70% of the average closing bid price for the 5 days preceding the notice to exercise and expiring 90 days after the registration statement registering the shares has been declared effective.
