NATEX CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
From Inception on July 9, 1997 to September 30, 1999
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Organization
- ----------------
The Company was incorporated on July 9, 1997 under the laws of the State of
Utah. At the present time, the Company is in the development stage. The
Company was formed for the purpose of raising capital to invest in a joint
venture which will acquire a license for certain technology relating to the
production of hydrogen, to generate hydrogen for sale, and to market hydrogen
generating equipment and products. The Company will, through its investment in
a joint venture, be involved in research and development efforts of
commercializing the technology.
b. Investment in Limited Liability Company
- -------------------------------------------
The Company will account for its investment in the Limited Liability Company
using the equity method of accounting.
c. Amortization of Organization Costs
- --------------------------------------
The Company is amortizing the organization cost over a 60 month period using
the straight-line method.
d. Income Taxes
- ----------------
The Company provides for income taxes based on the liability method, which
requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
e. Use of Estimates
- --------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
f. Cash and Cash Equivalent
- ----------------------------
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
investment instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
g. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
- --------------------------------------
Primary earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) for the period by the weighted average number of the Company's common
shares outstanding and dilutive common equivalent shares from stock options
and warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method.
<PAGE> 7
NATEX CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
From Inception on July 9, 1997 to September 30, 1999
(g) Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share (Continued)
Fully diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflect the calculation of the
number of common equivalent shares based on the stock price at the end of the
period. Fully diluted per common share amounts are not reported because the
difference is not material from primary earnings per common share.
i. New Accounting Pronouncements
- ---------------------------------
In 1997 the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, and SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company believes the new
standards will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements presented herein or in the future.
(2) EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company's president has agreed to perform services on behalf of the
Company for no compensation through December 31, 1998. To provide incentive
for such services, the Board of Directors agreed on August 1, 1997 to grant an
option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1 per
share. No options have been exercised as of September 30, 1999.
(3) RECEIVABLE - RELATED PARTY
The receivable from related entity is an unsecured non-interest bearing loan
which has no repayment terms. The Company has agreed to loan up to a maximum
of $500,000.
The receivable is due from Powerball Technologies, LLC (A Development Stage
Company). Natex Corporatin is a 50% owner of Powerball Technologies, LLC.
(4) INVESTMENT IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
The Company and Powerball Industries, Inc. have agreed to form a limited
liability company (the "Joint Venture") to license the Technology; to further
develop the Technology; to build a sodium hydride pellet recycling plant; to
manufacture tanks in which hydrogen is generated; to demonstrate the
commercial viability of the Technology; and to commercialize the Technology.
Powerball Industries, Inc. will assign the Technology License to the Joint
Venture, or will sub-license the Technology to the Joint Venture for a 50%
ownership interest in the Joint Venture. The Company invested $250,000 in the
Joint Venture for a 50% ownership interest in the Limited Liability Company
Powerball Technologies, LLC (A Developmental Stage Company). The Company has
also agreed to loan up to $500,000 to the Joint Venture if such funds are
required for the Joint Venture's operations (See Note 3).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements
- ---------------------------------------------------------
This report may contain "forward-looking" statements. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (a) projections of
revenues, capital expenditures, growth, prospects, dividends, capital
structure and other financial matters; (b) statements of plans and objectives
of the Company or its management or Board of Directors; (c) statements of
future economic performance; (d) statements of assumptions underlying other
statements and statements about the Company and its business relating to the
future; and (e) any statements using the words "anticipate," "expect," "may,"
"project," "intend" or similar expressions.
Year 2000 Disclosure
- --------------------
The Company is working to resolve the potential impact of the year 2000
on the ability of the Company's computerized information systems to accurately
process information that may be date-sensitive. Any of the Company's programs
that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000
could result in errors or system failures. The Company utilizes a minimum
number of computer programs in its operations. The Company has not completed
its assessment, but currently believes that costs of addressing this issue
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position.
However, if the Company and third parties upon which it relies are unable to
address this issue in a timely manner, it could result in a material financial
risk to the Company. In order to assure that this does not occur, the Company
plans to devote all resources required to resolve any significant year 2000
issues in a timely manner.
State of Readiness
- ------------------
The Company has completed a preliminary assessment of its operations. As
far as its information technology systems ("IT"), the Company uses newer model
desktop PCs in its executive office, and in the JV operation. These PCs are
all running commercial software with the patches and updates added as they are
available.
Any non-IT microprocessors used in the JV manufacturing process have
already been assessed and changed where necessary. The Company does not
utilize any other non-IT systems which could be affected by the Y2K problem.
The Company has not established any major customers and has not made
inquiries to its customers concerning their respective Y2K preparedness. At
this time, the Company does not anticipate a significant impact to the
Company's business operations.
Costs of Y2K
- ------------
The Company has replaced or upgraded its IT systems in the ordinary
course of business and therefore cannot attribute specific costs of such
upgrades to Y2K. The costs of assessing potential non-IT problems have
involved a small amount of evaluation time which has likewise been
<PAGE> 10
incorporated into ordinary business costs. There have been no significant
hardware costs directly attributable to Y2K.
Risks of Y2K
- ------------
The Company does not anticipate that Y2K problems pose substantial risks
to its current operations, unless Y2K causes catastrophic systemic failures of
the power grid, for instance. The worst case scenario contemplated to date
would involve a temporary suspension of the JV's activities while systemic
problems are resolved. Any such suspension of operations might have a
significant adverse impact on the Company's overall revenues.
Contingency Plans
- -----------------
The Company does not have any contingency plans at this time and does not
intend to prepare any such plan because the most critical factors in its worst
case scenario are essentially beyond the Company's control. The Company
intends to continue its maintenance and upgrades of its internal systems, and
will query its major customers, if any such customers develop, concerning
their respective states of readiness.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 compared with September 30, 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues. The Company's expects that initial revenues will be generated
primarily through its investment in the JV and those profits, if any that will
be derived through the licensing of the JV's technology and/or manufacturing
and sale of hydrogen generation systems by the JV. The Company had no revenues
for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
and has had no revenues since July 9, 1997 ("Inception").
Operating Expenses. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999,
the Company had total operating expenses of $94,970, compared to $12,646 for
the same period ending September 30, 1998. The increase in operating expenses
is attributable to a $75,000 compensation expense during the period. This
amount represents the value of the securities issued to Mr. Ipson for services
provided the Company from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999. Total
operating expenses from inception through September 30, 1999 have been
$118,709.
Other Expense. Other expense for the nine month period ended September
30, 1999 was a net $43,854, of which $44,822 was loss on the Company's
investment in the JV, before being offset by $968 of interest income. Other
expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 was a net $31,146,
of which all was represented by loss on the Company's investment in the JV,
less $235 in interest income. The Company's loss on its investment in the JV
is $120,726 since the Company's Inception.
The Company experienced a net loss of $138,924 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1999 and a net loss of $43,892 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1998. The Company net loss since inception has been
$237,875. The basic loss per share for the nine month period ended September
30, 1999 was $0.1527, based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding of 909,963 shares, compared to $0.0732 based on weighted average
number of shares outstanding of 600,000 at September 30, 1998. The basic loss
per share since Inception has been $0.3155, based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding of 753,719.
<PAGE> 11
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
In connection with the Company's organization the founding shareholders
acquired 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $40,000 cash.
Thereafter, in December 1997, the Company completed a public offering of
400,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share for aggregate
offering proceeds of $400,000.
The issuances of common stock have been utilized for working capital,
payment of professional services, the initial capital investment in the JV;
the loan of additional working capital to JV, and for the continued
development activities of the Company.
In December 1997, the Company entered into the JV with Powerball
Industries wherein the Company contributed $250,000 cash. In addition to the
original $250,000 capital contribution to the JV made by the Company, the
Company has agreed to loan additional capital to the JV, up to $500,000, for
the purpose of (i) further development of the Technology; (ii) construction of
the Plant; (iii) the manufacture of Tanks; (iv) demonstrate the commercial
viability of the Technology; (v) develop commercial markets for the
Technology; and(vi) meet the JV's ongoing working capital requirements.
Because of the JV's additional working capital needs, the Company has agreed
to loan additional monies to the JV under the same terms as the initial
$100,000. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had loan the JV an aggregate
of $305,000. The additional funds loaned to the JV by the Company were
obtained through the private placement of the Company's common stock Company
during the reporting period for aggregate proceeds of $200,000.
At September 30, 1999, the Company had current assets of $422,399 and no
current liabilities for working capital of $422,399, consisting of cash of
$117,399 and receivables from the JV of $305,000. At September 30, 1999, the
Company had other assets of $154,776, consisting almost entirely of the
Company's investment in the JV. At September 30, 1999, the Company had no
liabilities and a working capital surplus of $422,399.
Cash used in operations for the nine month period ended September 30,
1999 was $(147,087) compared to and $(42,954) for the same period ended
September 30, 1998. Since inception the Company's operations been funded
primarily by cash received from capital contributions and the issuance of
common stock for cash.
In connection with the expenditures of the JV, all major financial
decisions of the JV, including the expenditure of $5,000 or more, must be
approved by both of the managers. The managers determine whether any
distributions of cash will be made to the owners. Cash distributions will not
be made until and unless the JV operates at a profit and thereafter, only if
the managers jointly agree to such distributions. It is not anticipated that
cash distributions will be made to the owners in the foreseeable future. If
the JV generates profits, of which there can be no assurance, it is likely
that most of such profits will be retained by the JV to fund additional
research and development, to fund additional marketing efforts, to acquire
additional inventory and for working capital.
The Company anticipate that within the next year additional funds will
also be needed to allow the JV to enter into other markets for hydrogen
technology. Future funding may involve the sale of additional ownership
interests in the JV. In such event, the percentage ownership interests of the
Company and Powerball Industries in the JV will be reduced. There can be no
assurance that any additional required funding will be available to the JV.
<PAGE> 12
It is expected that during the next year the primary expenditure of the
JV will relate to the operation of the Plant and the general overhead related
thereto. Now that the Plant is completed, the Company does not expect that it
will need to advance any additional funds to the JV and will only experience
the costs associated with the office expenses, and professional and related
fees associated with its ongoing reporting obligations, which for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999 were $13,842. The Company expects such
expenses to be consistent for the balance of its fiscal year. The Company
believes it has sufficient working capital to meet its ongoing expenses for
the next twelve months should it not receive any repayments for loans made to
the JV or other cash distributions from the JV.
