Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Company The accompanying condensed financial
statements as of June 30, 2000 and for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations for these interim periods. Such interim financial statements have
been prepared on the basis of presentation as more fully described in the
Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated ("the Company") annual financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
financial statements which are included in the Company's Form 10-KSB. The
results of operations for the three month period and six month period ended June
30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire year.
2. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share. The Company has adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128)
which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
However, because of losses from operations, the effect of stock options,
warrants and convertible debt (in 1999) is anti-dilutive.
2. Inventories
At June 30, 2000, inventories consist of the following:
Raw materials $ 295,517
Finished goods 61,774
---------
Total inventories $ 357,291
=========
3. Notes Payable to Shareholder
On two occasions in 1998, Richard C. Ford, Chief Executive Officer, member of
the Board of Directors and significant shareholder of the Company, loaned the
Company a total of $150,000. For each loan, the Company issued notes payable due
one year from the date of issuance at 12% interest and secured by accounts
receivable and inventories. On January 24, 2000, Mr. Ford converted these loans
into 150,000 shares of common stock and the related unpaid accrued interest to
that date totaling $25,504 was forgiven by Mr. Ford.
4. Note Payable to Bank
On January 21, 1999, the Company converted a $250,000 loan from its bank to a
one year $350,000 revolving line of credit with interest at the bank's prime
rate (7.75% at inception). The note was secured by substantially all assets of
the Company and by certificates of deposit in the name of Richard C. Ford, and
the note was personally guaranteed by Mr. Ford. On March 25, 1999, the company
increased the line of credit to $525,000 and extended the repayment date to
March 25, 2000. The Company borrowed the full amount of each loan. On January
24, 2000, Mr. Ford and his daughter, Traci Ford, personally repaid the bank and
simultaneously converted the loan into 525,000 shares of the Company's common
stock.

<PAGE>
5. Notes Payable to QIP, a Shareholder
On January 26, 1998, the Company and Quantum Industrial Partners LDC ("QIP")
entered into a Note Exchange Agreement whereby a $2,000,000 promissory note
issued June 19, 1997 to QIP was exchanged for a $2,000,000 12% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Note (the "Note") due 2003. Also on January 26, 1998,
the Company and QIP entered into a Note Purchase Agreement whereby the Company
issued QIP a 12% Senior Subordinated Convertible Note in the aggregate principal
amount of $500,000. The terms and conditions of this $500,000 Note were
identical to the $2,000,000 Note as described below.
On January 24, 2000, QIP converted the principal balance of the Notes totaling
$2,500,000 together with accrued interest (which the company had elected to add
to the principal amount of the Notes) totaling $717,997 into 2,500,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. In addition, on that date, QIP agreed to surrender
warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock that were
exercisable at $2.75 per share and which would have expired on December 31,
2000.
Terms of both Notes included the following. Interest was payable quarterly
commencing April 1, 1998, provided however that at the option of the Company,
unpaid interest may be added to the principal balance of the Notes in lieu of a
cash payment which the Company elected to do each quarter through December 31,
1999. Such unpaid interest bore interest at 15% and was payable on demand. The
Notes were senior to all indebtedness of the Company, except bank or financial
institution debt. The Notes could be redeemable at the option of QIP on or after
the earlier of January 1, 2001 or the date on which the Company raises cash
proceeds aggregate $10 million involving the sale of debt, equity or assets. As
long as the Notes were outstanding, the Company could not, without the consent
of QIP, declare or pay any dividends, purchase, redeem or acquire any of its
Common Stock, retire its existing indebtedness other than existing required
periodic payments, or enter into transactions with any affiliate. Prior to
January 1, 2003, at the option of QIP, the principal amount could be converted
into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $2.75 per share. Under
certain circumstances, the Notes were subject to anti-dilution provisions and
the Company would register the securities.
6. Joint Venture
In 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Centrax Ltd.
(with the Company owning 45% and Centrax owning 45%) called TF Purifiner Ltd.
("Ltd."). Ltd. sold the Company's products in Europe, the Middle East and
certain African countries. The joint venture had operating losses and negative
net worth, and, consequently, the Company had no recorded investment on its
books. Effective May 31, 2000, the Company and Centrax agreed to dissolve Ltd.
with no obligation on the part of the Company to have any liability for or to
fund any part of the dissolution.
The Company received certain patents (having a book value of approximately
$39,000) and inventory (having a stated value of approximately $30,000) that
were owned by the joint venture for no consideration. Furthermore, Centrax, sold
to the Company for approximately $38,000 certain foreign patents on the Puradyn
technology it had on its books. In addition it gave to the Company for no
consideration certain other inventory (having a stated value of approximately
7
<PAGE>
$230,000) and a vehicle, machines and tools and dies it had used in
manufacturing products for the joint venture (having an estimated value of
approximately $49,000). The patents for which the Company paid $38,000 were
recorded at cost, and the patents having a book value of $39,000 were recorded
on the books with a full valuation allowance. The fixed assets were recorded at
their estimated fair market value of $49,000 and the inventories having a
combined total of $260,000 were recorded at their stated value with a valuation
allowance of $130,000. The Company expects to complete its review of the
condition and usefulness of these assets to determine before year end the extent
of the impairment of the recorded values. The Company plans to use these assets
to conduct operations in England and to sell into the countries formerly
serviced by the joint venture.
7. Contingencies
TF Systems, Inc. ("Systems"), a related party (previously under common ownership
with the Company), formerly owned the manufacturing and marketing rights to the
Purifiner and transferred or sold such rights to the Company in 1995. In June
1997, the former law firm of Systems filed a complaint against the Company,
Systems, Richard C. Ford (individually) and an inactive company controlled by
Mr. Ford, demanding payment of approximately $313,000 of legal fees plus
interest and attorney fees, related primarily to obtaining the manufacturing and
marketing rights to the Purifiner for Systems and the Company. Systems was
awaiting the judgment of an appellate court which, if adjudicated in Systems'
favor, would have provided it with sufficient funds to pay such legal fees and
other possible legal fee claims aggregating approximately $75,000. On February
26, 1997, the appellate court ruled against Systems and, accordingly, the funds
discussed above are not currently available to Systems to satisfy such claims.
Puradyn did not assume these obligations as part of its purchase of Systems in
1995 and management believes such amounts are not the responsibility of Puradyn.
However, Systems is an inactive company whose only asset is the claim that was
reversed on appeal and maybe retried by Systems. Accordingly, the ability to
collect such funds from Systems is uncertain. The ultimate outcome of this
litigation and other unasserted claims against the Company cannot be determined
at this time; however, based upon the opinion of the Company's counsel, a
favorable outcome is likely. No liability has been recorded for these claims in
the accompanying balance sheet.
8. Stockholders' Equity.
As discussed in Notes 3, 4 and 5, the Company in January, 2000, converted
$3,892,997 of debt into 3,175,000 shares of its Common Stock. The Company also
sold shares of its Common Stock under two private offerings, one completed in
March, 2000, raised $3,590,968 through the issuance of 3,672,000 shares and
another in process at June 30, 2000, raised $5,625,750 through the issuance of
750,101 shares. Other shares were issued during the six months ended June 30,
2000 for the exercise of stock options (354,000 shares) and in exchange for
services (25,313 shares).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB.
Other than historical and factual statements, the matters and items discussed in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB are forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Actual results of the Company may differ materially
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors
that could contribute to such differences are discussed with the forward-looking
statements throughout this report.
General
The Company was formed in 1987 and commenced limited operations in 1991 when it
obtained worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to the Purifiner(R)
product, now called the Puradyn Onboard Oil Filtration System or "Puradyn
System". The Puradyn System can be attached to any internal combustion engine to
filter impurities from the oil in the engine. Acceptance of the Puradyn products
is dependent on various factors, including the desire of potential users to
extend the oil change intervals to reduce maintenance costs, to extend engine
life and to preserve the envrionment.
The sales effort not only involves educating a potential customer on the
benefits of the product, but allowing the customer to test the Puradyn System on
its fleet vehicles. Consequently the sales cycle is relatively long. The Company
is currently in test with a number of major automotive, truck and engine OEM's
and related manufacturing companies. In the case of OEM's, the goal is to obtain
their approval to eventually install the Puradyn System on their products as
standard or optional equipment at their factories and to distribute the Puradyns
System throughout their dealer networks.
In the case of large vehicle fleets the goal is to obtain performance approval
and to retrofit existing fleet vehicles with the Puradyn System and to have the
Puradyn System installed on all new vehicle engines. The Company just completed
an initial test with a company having one of the largest private fleets in the
country and will begin retrofitting its products on a portion of their fleet
vehicles beginning in July, 2000 for a second stage evaluation test. Further,
the Company recently received approval from a large oil company in Kuwait and is
expecting continuing orders from this company for their stationary generators
beginning in the next month or two
The Company feels there is increasing awareness on the part of vehicle and
engine manufacturers and on the part of vehicle fleet managers of the cost
benefits of the Puradyn System, the Company's warranties and the environmental
benefits of conserving oil and reducing the disposal of waste oil. The
credibility of the Puradyn System and the concept of extended oil replacement
intervals are now becoming more readily accepted. The Company believes that this
increasing acceptance is also due to third-party testing of the product and
awards and other recognition the Puradyn System has received.

<PAGE>
The Company curtailed its operations and reduced its remaining workforce to key
personnel in March, 1998 due to continuing operating losses and negative cash
flow. These actions were taken to reduce the amount of cash required to maintain
operations of the Company. At the same time, the Company sought to arrange
additional financing. In November, 1999, the Company formulated a plan to
convert all of its outstanding notes payable into common stock and to sell
additional common stock to raise cash in excess of $3,500,000.
On January 24, 2000, the Company completed the conversion of $3,175,000 of
principal amount of debt of five notes payable (together with accrued interest
of $718,000 that had been added to principal of two of the notes payable) into
3,175,000 shares if its common stock. The Company also obtained forgiveness of
$26,000 in unpaid interest on two other notes payable. On March 6, 2000, the
Company completed the sale of 4,172,000 shares of its Common Stock with net
proceeds of approximately $4,100,000 (of which $500,000 had been paid in
December, 1999). Furthermore, in June, 2000, the Company commenced the sale of
an additional 1,333,334 shares of its Common Stock to raise an additional
$10,000,000 of which approximately $5,600,000 was received through June 30,
2000.

Net Sales. Net sales increased by approximately $255,000 and $419,000,
respectively, in the second fiscal quarter and the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The Company
changed the focus of its sales efforts toward OEMs and companies having large
fleets of trucks during 1998 and 1999 and the effects of this change began to
show late in 1999 and is continuing through the first two quarters of 2000.
Management feels it now has a good base of potential customers with very
satisfactory product performance results. However there can be no assurance
these factors will produce continued improvements in sales.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by approximately $199,000 and $369,000,
respectively, in the second fiscal quarter and the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increases are
related to increased sales volume in the respective periods.
The Company's gross margin increased to 12.7% in the second fiscal quarter from
negative 5.7% in the corresponding period in 1999, and increased to 8.6% in the
first six months of 2000 from 1.2% in the corresponding period of the prior
year. The improvement is due to the effect of the increased sales volume in
beginning to offset the costs of excess manufacturing capacity. During the 2000
period, the Company wrote off approximately $27,000 of inventory that is
expected to be obsoleted by engineering changes that in are in process to
improve the operating size and efficiency of the Puradyn unit.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses increased by approximately $247,000 and by
$362,000 respectively, in the second fiscal quarter and the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. In the
first and second fiscal quarters of 2000 the Company increased its sales force
and increased its promotional efforts to reach additional potential customers.
Sales efforts had been curtailed during 1998 and 1999 due to the Company's
limited cash flow and cash resources.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by approximately $73,000 and $158,000 in the second fiscal quarter and
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the corresponding periods in the
prior year. As noted with Selling Expenses above, the Company had curtailed its
spending in 1998 and 1999 due to limited cash resources. In 2000, the Company
increased its staff size and the salary amounts to existing executives and
staff.
Engineering and Development Expenses. Engineering and development expenses
decreased by approximately $4,000 and increased by $73,000, respectively, in the
second fiscal quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the
corresponding periods in the prior year. This increase in the six month period
is due to expenses paid for outside engineering work in the first fiscal quarter
of 2000 related to the re-design of the Puradyn unit referred to above.
Otherwise, Engineering expenses have been relatively constant between the years.

Interest Income and Interest Expense and Forgiveness of Debt. Interest income
increased by approximately $34,000 and $56,000, respectively, in the second
fiscal quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the
corresponding periods in the prior year. The increased income is due to income
from the investment of funds received from the stock sold in the first quarter
of 2000. Proceeds from stock sold in the second fiscal quarter were received in
late June, 2000 and have not yet had an effect on interest income. There were
virtually no invested funds in the prior year.
Interest expense decreased by approximately $102,000 and by $166,000,
respectively, in the second fiscal quarter and the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to the
cancellation of all outstanding notes payable (having a principal balance of
approximately $3,900,000) in January, 2000.
Contributed assets of $179,000 resulted from inventories, patents and fixed
assets given to the Company by its joint venture partner in connection with the
dissolution of the European joint venture company.
Forgiveness of debt of approximately $34,000 in six months ended June 30, 2000
is related to interest on two notes payable that were converted to common stock
in January, 2000 that were discussed above. Additional amounts in the second
fiscal quarter of 2000 are related to settlement discounts received from
vendors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company has had operating losses since inception and, consequently,
its capital requirements in connection with its business activities have been
and may continue to be significant. To fund its activities from inception to
date, the Company has been entirely dependent upon the proceeds of sales of its
securities to investors and from loans of which $3,893,000 was converted to
stock in January, 2000. In addition, on March 6, 2000, the Company completed the
sale of 4,172,000 shares of its Common Stock with net proceeds of approximately
$4,100,000 (of which $500,000 had been paid in December, 1999). The Company has
a second private offering of its common stock in process from which it has
received $5,625,000 through June 30, 2000.
As a direct result of the recent infusion of cash discussed above, at June 30,
2000, the Company had working capital of approximately $8,519,803 and with a
current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) of 33.93 to 1. The Company
believes it has sufficient cash for the foreseeable future, however there is no
assurance that sales will increase to the level required to generate profitable
operations and to provide positive cash flow from operations.
Consistent with industry practices, the Company may accept product returns or
provide other credits in the event that a distributor holds excess inventory of
the Company's products. The Company's sales are made on credit terms which vary
significantly depending on the nature of the sale. The Company believes it has
established sufficient reserves to accurately reflect the amount or likelihood
of product returns or credits and uncollectible receivables. However, there can
be no assurance that actual returns and uncollectible receivables will not
exceed the Company's reserves.

Sales of the Company's products will depend principally on end user demand for
such products and acceptance of the Company's products by original equipment
manufacturers ("OEM's"). The oil filtration industry has historically been
competitive and, as is typically the case with innovative products, the ultimate
level of demand for the Company's products is subject to uncertainty. Developing
market acceptance, particularly worldwide, for the Company's existing and
proposed products will require substantial marketing and sales efforts and the
expenditure of a significant amount of funds to inform customers of the
perceived benefits and cost advantages of its products.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations. However,
any significant decrease in the price for oil or labor, environmental compliance
costs, and engine replacement costs could adversely impact the Company's end
users cost/benefit analysis as to the use of the Company's products.
Quarterly Fluctuations
The Company's operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to
period as a result of a variety of factors including product returns, purchasing
patterns of consumers, the length of the Company's sales cycle to key customers
and distributors, the timing of the introduction of new products and product
enhancements by the Company and its competitors, technological factors,
variations in sales by product and distribution channel, and competitive pricing
and general economic conditions throughout the industrialized world.
Consequently, the Company's product revenues may vary significantly by quarter
and the Company's operating results may experience significant fluctuations.
