INTRODUCTION
Our 1934 Securities Exchange Act registration of our common stock has
become effective during 1999, but has not yet cleared final comments by the
Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference are consolidated
unaudited financial statements under cover of Exhibit 00QF-2 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
We are a research and development company with no revenues and no immediate
source or expectation of revenue generation. We have had no revenues since
inception. We have been funded by our shareholder investors. Virtually all of
the funding/working capital raised to date has been allocated for research and
development of our several prototype projects. All projects developed by us are
experimental in nature and are recorded as research and development expenses. Of
our total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $505,463, research
and development accounted for $359,473.
(A) PLAN OF OPERATION: NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. First, in general terms we intend
to continue the development of our prototypes SOLAWATT, SUNSPRING and MECH
ourselves, through this reporting corporation; and we intend to pursue the
development of our prototypes SOLAREC and HTWO through Jade Electronic, Inc., a
Nevada corporation.
SOLAWATT will be the production of electricity estimated by us to be
one-third the current conventional cost. SOLAWATT is the name for our unique
plastic-film solar collectors, which are placed directly on the ground. Our
patent application for SOLAWATT (filed under its original and former name
SPAESS) is S.N. 09/396,653.
SUNSPRING will produce fresh water using only seawater and our unique solar
energy collectors (SOLAWATT) in a reverse osmosis ("RO") desalination process
that will require no electric motors or outside power source. Osmosis is the
result of placement of fresh water on one side and seawater on the other side of
a semi-permeable membrane. The result is fresh water flowing through to the
seawater side. Reverse Osmosis is the application of a significant pressure on
the salt water side, forcing water through the membrane and leaving the salt
behind.
MECH will be designed as an internal combustion engine having one-third the
size of a conventional engine with the same power and 25% greater efficiency.
The MECH engine could have a wide variety of applications from vehicles and
propeller driven aircraft, to lawn mowers and chain saws.
We have effected a reorganization, by which we sold our subsidiary RECO to
Jade Electronic, Inc., a Nevada corporation, ("JADE") in a related-party
transaction, by which, we initially own 63% control of Jade Electronic, Inc., as
another corporate asset, before any further placements. By agreement of about
April 10, 2000 we sold RECO to JADE, in exchange for 8,500,000 shares of JADE
common stock, and $180,000 cash.
2
<PAGE>
The authorized capital of JADE is two hundred million shares of common
stock, of par value $0.001 per share, of which 5,000,000 shares are issued and
outstanding, immediately before the transaction. The issuance to us of 8,500,000
shares results in our initial 63% ownership of the resulting 13,500,000 shares,
immediately after the transaction. This transaction may be viewed as an
acquisition by us of JADE as a controlled subsidiary. This transaction is deemed
by management to better position our assets for both future funding programs and
more focused development of both SOLAREC technology and a marketing strategy for
it. Although we owned RECO 100% immediately before the transaction and now own
only 63% of Jade Electronics, Inc. immediately afterwards, we have sold 37% of
RECO for $180,000, which we can apply to our own funding requirements. We
believe that, so positioned, the resulting RECO/JADE corporation could seek its
financing independently of us, on its own merits, and with its own management
(to be determined) to the mutual benefit of both corporations.
This is a related-party transaction, for the reason that one or more
officers, affiliates or promoters of JADE are believed to be shareholders or
affiliates of shareholders of this parent corporation.
The Projects of RECO going to JADE are as follows:
SOLAREC will use only solar energy plus carbon dioxide (CO2) from the
atmosphere to produce a clean usable fuel (gasoline, diesel, etc.) with
electricity and oxygen as byproducts.
HTWO is the concept to produce from coal, economical, pure hydrogen (while
dramatically reducing CO2 emissions) for use in the growing fuel cell business.
Existing fossil fuel-based industrial production of hydrogen generates nearly as
much CO2 as the normal operation of an internal combustion engine. This project
is currently at a computer concept, research and feasibility stage and will
greatly depend upon the success of the next twelve month phase of SOLAREC.
(1) CASH REQUIREMENTS AND OUR NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS, TWELVE MONTHS.
We have depended and do depend on continued support from our principal
shareholders to cover any shortfall. There is no binding agreement by which
these or any shareholders are committed to continue funding our research and
development. While our shareholders have indicated no lack of continuing
support, if our required funding is not provided, we may not be able to continue
as a going concern.
We require approximately $3,000,000 to meet our budgetary requirements for
the next 12 months.

The sources of these funds may include further advances by our
Shareholders, further bridge financing from other accredited and sophisticated
investors, and/or proceeds from the $180,000 cash from JADE. They may include
successful governmental grant applications. They may include packaging other
projects for sale in transactions similar to RECO/JADE, for stock and cash, in
which we retain control and receive some cash or notes.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising capital
through private placements or otherwise. Even if we are successful in raising
capital through the sources specified, there can be no assurances that any such
financing would be available in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us and
our current shareholders. Additional equity financing could be dilutive to our
then existing shareholders, and any debt financing could involve restrictive
covenants with respect to future capital raising activities and other financial
and operational matters.
(B) DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We are a development stage company. Our activities to date consist entirely of
research and development.
(1) OPERATIONS AND RESULTS FOR THE PAST THREE AND SIX MONTHS. We have
been entirely devoted to research and development for the past two and one-half
years, 1998 and 1999, and the six months ended June 30, 2000. We continue to be
so devoted.
The following table summarizes the information contained in our financial
statements.

</TABLE>
Our research and development had accelerated in year 2000 over comparable
periods in 1999. This is due in part to our identification of additional
projects inspired from our earlier work. In addition we are engaged in
completing the comment and analysis phase of our 1934 Act registration, with
considerable legal and professional expenses, which are not expected to be
normal or continuing.
We booked a gain on the sale in connection with our RECO/JADE transaction.

Our condition does not amount to a substantial change for the first half of
2000. The significant new items relate to our RECO/JADE transaction.
(2) FUTURE PROSPECTS. No efforts have been made to date to identify
other companies to manufacture our products or to identify probable or targeted
licensees. We have determined to await commercially viable prototype readiness
before addressing manufacturing and marketing issues. We do not expect to
achieve significant sales, if any, in the next twelve to eighteen months.
HARPS and ACES projects have been deferred for the future. We expect to
turn our attention to these projects in 18 months to two years. These were our
original programs which inspired our current product development projects.
SUMMARY. We do not expect to achieve profitability in the next twelve
months. We are making significant progress in developing and proving our
technologies. We are dependent for funding on the support of our shareholders.
There is no assurance that funding will not run out. There is no assurance that
we will succeed in our various efforts. While no guarantee can be given as to
when or whether we will achieve significant revenues and profitability, a
reasonable estimate is believed to be eighteen months to two years from the
date of this Amended Report.
