PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
HISTORY
International Energy Consultants, Inc. (the "Company" or "IEC"), was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 15, 1997. The
Company's Articles of Incorporation were recently amended and filed with the
Secretary of State's office for the State of Nevada on January 17, 2001. IEC's
offices are located at 6857 W. Charleston, Las Vegas, Nevada 89117. The Company
has an Internet web site, www.energyconsultants.net, and has not been involved
in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
THE BUSINESS
Over the past several decades a number of industries have substantially
changed due to government deregulation and no longer operate in a "traditional"
way. Two of the better known examples are the telecommunications and trucking
industries. While deregulation in any industry initially results in uncertainty
and confusion, it also results in new opportunities.
-1-
<PAGE> 4
Recently the federal government has substantially deregulated the
electric energy market and many of the state governments have either already
passed deregulation legislation or such legislation has been introduced with
approval appearing likely. Similar to other industries before it, deregulation
of the electric power industry has caused a great deal of concern due to the
uncertainty of what effects deregulation will have on both commercial and
residential electric customers.
Over the next several years there is no doubt that many of the
uncertainties will "settle out" and other challenges will emerge as the new
deregulated market finds its own way. The Company believes that there are
several significant business opportunities that exist in the "new" electric
energy marketplace including distributed generation, cogeneration and the sale
of energy efficient and conservation products.
Distributed generation ("DG") is a concept whereby commercial users of
electric power purchase and operate small, energy efficient generators to supply
all or a portion of their electrical power needs on a permanent or standby
basis. Cogeneration ("CG") goes beyond distributive generation by utilizing the
heat energy given off by the generating equipment and/or by the electrical
equipment (such as computers or manufacturing machinery) within the commercial
customers building to heat the building itself or the heat is piped to another
location (such as a greenhouse) to be used there.
The Westinghouse corporation has predicted that DG will account for
forty percent (40%) of all electric generating capacity worldwide by the year
2005 and the U.S. Department of Energy has forecasted that DG will account for
twenty percent (20%) of the increased U.S. electric capacity in the next several
years.
The electric power industry is entering a period of fundamental change
not only within the United States but internationally as well. In many countries
a similar deregulation to that in the U.S. is occurring and in addition, foreign
governments are giving "open access" to outside business concerns to propose,
engineer, build and operate electric power generating plants or install DG
equipment.
This domestic and international activity has occurred as a result of
the rapid growth of numerous technologies which require electric energy. The
Electric Power Research Institute has estimated that this growth will increase
electric power demand by over 2.5 gigawatts annually for the foreseeable future.
This ever increasing demand for power has the combined effects of
causing an increasing burden on the existing power grid distribution system
resulting in poor quality output and questionable reliability. The most recent
example of these problems were the brown outs and power cut offs which occurred
in California during the summer of 2000 and winter of 2001. Such occurrences are
not good news for commercial/industrial power
-2-
<PAGE> 5
users who demand economical, reliable and quality power. The Company believes
that current electric power industry problems and changing market environment
have set the stage for the marketability of new innovations and products. As the
generation of power by big utilities gets more competitive, the Company believes
profits will be squeezed for these producers. IEC also believes that DG and CG
projects and innovative efficiency/conservation products will account for a
large part of the profitability within the industry for a significant period of
time. It is just this part of the industry in which IEC has begun to operate.
BUSINESS
As stated above, the deregulation of the electric power industry and
increasing electric energy grid constraints have opened up new opportunities in
the energy services marketplace that were not economically practical or did not
previously exist. IEC believes that its business plan is positioned to take
advantage of these opportunities.
The main thrust of IEC's business is focused on development of DG and
CG projects primarily within the United States but also in some foreign markets
including the Caribbean, Central and South America. IEC's customers will
primarily be commercial enterprises who want an overall solution that gives
advantages in terms of cost, reliability and quality. Depending on the size of
the power needs of the potential customer projects can be relatively small
(installation of a 100kw generator) or very large (development, construction and
operation of a 120Mw power plant to service several large industrial users in a
limited geographic area.)
IEC intends to continue to market to all sizes of customers by
marketing a "solutions" approach whereby IEC will secure all the components and
expertise necessary to present a complete project to the customer. This approach
will require that IEC continue to establish relationships with service and
equipment providers in order to offer a full menu of engineering and other
services along with innovative products all under the IEC corporate banner.
IEC's cornerstone marketing philosophy is to provide customers with a "turnkey"
solution to their electric energy problem.
The Company has begun to realize that there are long lead times for mid
to large size DG and CG projects to develop and to be completed. Consequently,
the Company has attempted to search for opportunities which will allow the
Company to earn revenue while waiting for the larger projects to begin. As part
of IEC's business plan the Company has developed a strategy where certain new
technology products will be offered which provide energy conservation or
efficiencies. Management believes that the sale of these products, if
successful, will provide revenues for the Company in the near term.
-3-
<PAGE> 6
DISTRIBUTED GENERATION. As stated earlier, distributed generation is
the use of stand alone electric energy devices to provide customers lower cost
electric energy. The market for on-site electric power generation is only now
beginning to emerge as a viable long term solution for continuous electric power
needs by commercial enterprises. Historically, on-site generation has been a
market for backup and standby generators for use in emergencies and grid
failures. However, new technologies and products are now available that have
been specifically designed to provide on demand continuous electric power for
industrial and commercial users. The new products have been designed to provide
increased efficiency and reliability with lower emissions which enables the
commercial power user to have new options which are well suited for cost
effective prime power applications. The Company believes that the new products
offer significant benefits to their potential customers and have excellent
market potential however there can be no assurance that this will occur. One of
the new DG products, the Powr/Master, is discussed below.
Management believes that not only small commercial users will be
interested in the benefits of DG but also mid to large commercial and industrial
users as well. In the event a large or several large industrial customers in a
close geographical area wish to disconnect from the local power grid for reasons
of cost, reliability or lack of quality power then the Company will offer to
construct and operate a stand alone power generation facility of up to 120Mw.
IEC has invested in such a proposed project in El Salvador where negotiations
are continuing to construct a 80-120Mw electric power generation plant to serve
several industrial users located in Acajutla, El Salvador.
The Company recognizes that there are two limiting factors to the DG
market; i) the cost of the generating equipment or facility is proportionate to
the amount of generating capacity required and therefore any mid or larger size
project would require the Company to seek financial partners who are willing to
finance or otherwise provide capital to fund the projects as the Company
currently does not have the financial resources to fund any significant project
of its own and ii) the time between when a potential customer agrees to a DG
project and the actual installation of the product or completion of the
generating facility can be substantial, from sixty days for a small project to
several years for a large project. IEC is currently attempting to market a
number of projects of varying sizes to fill its "calendar" to allow for a more
even revenue flow however there can be no assurance that IEC will be able to
locate any necessary financial partners or market enough DG projects of various
completion dates to generate timely or sufficient revenue to allow the Company
to continue as a going concern.
COGENERATION. As described above, cogeneration is similar to
distributed generation but in addition to generation of electric power, the heat
energy from the generating machinery is captured and used to heat
-4-
<PAGE> 7
the customer's building. The expected benefit is a decrease in the cost of the
customer's electricity from the DG facility and a decrease in energy use (and
corresponding cost savings) through the use of the "waste" heat from the power
generator.
JOINT VENTURES/OPPORTUNITIES. The Company has had a difficult time in
attempting to solidify its business plan due to the changing nature of the
deregulated energy market and IEC's need to find a niche consistent with its
size and its financial resources. Utilizing the DG and CG concepts discussed
above the Company may enter into joint ventures or undertake certain projects
alone. Currently there are three principal project types which the Company is
considering with other project types to be added as market conditions and
company resources allow. The following project types share common principals
which management believes will be important for IEC's growth including asset
ownership, operation of the asset and sale of generated output.
RESORT POWER. These projects will seek to capitalize on the need for
reliable, economical power and thermal services for island businesses and
vacation resorts. The Company offers the ability to supply reliable on site
facilities to supply electricity, hot water, steam and chilled water through an
all contained modular pre-engineered package manufactured by Cummins and
Wartsila NSD.
LANDFILL GAS. Landfill Gas Generation projects offer a substantial
opportunity with the advent of deregulation as well as increased environmental
controls. These projects will develop and operate landfill gas (methane) fueled
generation facilities utilizing a mix of new technology generators (such as the
Capstone Micro Turbine). Electricity generated from landfill gas is considered a
"green" or "renewable" power source and many governmental agencies offer
monetary incentives for the construction and operation of these types of power
plants. The Company believes that it will be able to sell the electricity to
local utilities or directly onto the power grid at premium prices and provide a
potentially profitable revenue stream to the Company.
PEAK-FIRE. The Company believes that the "Peak-Fire" type of project
represents a substantial opportunity to IEC. These projects capitalize on power
opportunities that did not exist before deregulation and utilizes equipment that
has been previously installed at a large number of commercial or industrial
facilities. The basic gist of the plan is to acquire, operate and maintain power
generation machinery already installed at commercial/industrial facilities
typically as backup generators. The plan will be for IEC to purchase the
generator from the Commercial business who will then lease it back from IEC who
will operate the generator and provide back up power for the commercial facility
when needed but then operate the generator at non needed times to generate power
to sell on the wholesale market.
-5-
<PAGE> 8
PRODUCTS. IEC believes that new energy producing or energy saving
products are needed in the marketplace. IEC has identified three products which
management believes will provide significant opportunities.
POWR/MASTR. One of the products the Company may use to provide electric
power in a distributed generation application is the Powr/Mastr. This new
technology is currently being tested but it appears to be an efficient, low
emission engine for powering oil, water pumps and electric generation as the
Powr/Mastr can be configured to supply mechanical power (at 145 house power) or
electric power (at 100kw). The manufacturer claims that the Powr/Mastr is
designed to operate efficiently on a number of fuels including natural gas,
propane or butane and is also designed to run slower, colder and cheaper than
currently available gasoline, diesel or natural gas engines.
The Powr/Mastr is relatively light and easily transported to the
customer's location on its own integrated trailer. It can be installed on a
properly prepared pre-built slab by one person in less than four hours. The

</TABLE>
In addition to the Powr/Mastr there are other electric power generators
including other reciprocating engines (such as diesel), combustion turbines,
microturbines and fuel cells. While this may seem to be a substantial list, they
all have one thing in common, the ability to generate electric power for small
users or custom applications. These generating devices all have a number of
attributes which make them a potential distributed power solution depending upon
the application required by a customer or a group of customers.
EDDY DRAFT REGULATOR. The Company is currently evaluating the
technology involved in the Eddy Draft Regulator ("EDR") and has already sold one
project. The EDR is a product which increases efficiency of commercial boilers,
water heater, furnaces, ovens and kilns. It is a patented product which has no
moving parts, requires no energy to run and provides a constant draft control
enhancement for exhaust stacks. The benefit of the EDR is increased draft
efficiency which in turn permits increased heating efficiency and thus lowers
fuel usage and costs.
While IEC is currently working with the product it is being evaluated
as to whether the product fits within the Company's marketing plans. There can
be no assurance that IEC will continue to sell the EDR or any other product.
PETROMOLY. Petromoly is an oil product which contains certain chemical
structures which allows reciprocating engines such as an automobile engine or
the Powr/Mastr to run more efficiently. The product accomplishes this by being
"slicker" than conventional motor oil thereby reducing drag between metal engine
-7-
<PAGE> 10
parts which in turn increases power and lowers fuel consumption. IEC, by vote
of its shareholders, is participating in a joint venture with the products
manufacturer Pretromoly, Inc. located in Houston, Texas and a marketing company
owned by two officers of the Company, Tony Sanzari and Scott Pumper, Empire
Multimedia Marketing, Inc. During the fourth quarter 2000 the Company has
invested $250,000 to fund an advertising campaign using a television infomercial
to directly market the product to potential customers. The venture originally
ran a test market in the fall of 2000 and from the test the venture has decided
to revise the infomercial and launch the campaign in the first quarter 2001.
POWER TRADING SERVICES. The final sector the Company plans to be
involved in is the wholesale marketing of electrical power. IEC is a registered
wholesale power marketer with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
and has the capability to provide wholesale brokering of power in deregulated
states. The Company believes that this capability will allow IEC's customers who
own standby generators (see Peak-Fire projects described above) to run the
generators when they are not needed to generate electric power to sell on the
wholesale market providing a revenue stream to IEC and the customer.
Although IEC has not engaged in this activity as of the date of this
filing, management believes that power trading is a significant opportunity
which the Company needs to explore.
COMPETITION
Currently, there are numerous competitors in the energy market ranging
from engineering service terms, construction contractors, manufactures and other
marketers. Many of the Company's competitors will be significantly better
financed and have greater resources than those of the Company including
advertising budgets. The Company is hopeful that the uniqueness of the Company's
services and products will overcome their competitors' advantages, however,
there can be no assurance that this will occur. If the Company is unable to
overcome its competition or its services and products are not accepted by the
consumer, then the Company will not be profitable and thus, its shareholders are
likely to lose a portion of or all of their investment in the Company.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS, LICENSES
The Company currently has no patents, trademarks or service marks.
However, the Company has acquired certain contractual rights as party to a
letter of intent agreement with an inventor whereby the Company, upon payment of
certain compensation, will acquire the patent rights to a device called the Eddy
draft regulator. A more detailed explanation of the device in contained in the
Company's products described above.

<PAGE> 11
EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS ON THE BUSINESS
There are a number of areas of the Company's business which are
effected by governmental regulations. As described above the Company's business
seeks to take advantage of certain opportunities which have arisen as a result
of the deregulation of the electric power industry by the federal government and
by 26 of the state governments.
Deregulation allows the Company to sell generating devices to
commercial customers who are no longer required to buy their electricity from
one local company. In addition it allows the Company and its commercial
customers to sell any excess power generated by the commercial customer to the
electric power grid system. In addition, deregulation has allowed the Company to
be licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as a wholesale
electric energy reseller.
In addition to deregulation many states either separately or as part of
their deregulation legislation have created incentives which encourage
innovation and use of "green" power. "Green" power is electric power which is
generated from environmentally friendly methods including wind, geothermal and
low polluting fossil fuels such as natural gas. As described above in the
Business section, the Company plans to evaluate and if successful, use methane
gas from landfills to generate electric power to sell to the wholesale power
distribution system. While there can be no assurance that the Company's
evaluation will be positive or if positive, that the Company will have
sufficient resources to take advantage of the opportunity, the Company believes
that a sufficient opportunity exists.
A significant part of the Company's business plan involves the sale of
small power generators to commercial customers in distributed generation and
cogeneration projects. Most of these applications will require the burning of
fossil fuels, usually natural gas, to generate the electric power. Depending on
the geographic location, various federal, state and local permits may have to be
obtained to operate the generator due to the federal Clean Air Act or state and
local environmental legislation and regulations. While the Company believes that
in most instances it will be able to obtain such permits there can be no
assurance that it will be able to obtain the permits under current law or in the
future in the event new stricter laws are created.
Due to the Company's current and planned involvement in the electric
energy market any changes in governmental regulations, no matter whether
positive or negative, will have an effect on the business of the Company. Should
the federal or state governments continue to deregulate the electric power
industry the Company believes that other opportunities may arise which the
Company may be capable of taking advantage of. In the event the federal or state
governments reverse their current trend then the Company may not be able to
implement its current business plan thereby causing the Company to substantially
alter, if
-9-
<PAGE> 12
possible, its business. Should the Company not be successful in altering its
business then the Company would likely have to cease operations.
AMOUNT SPENT ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company has spent no capital directly on the development of any new
products as the Company's business strategy has been to conserve its financial
resources and obtain or utilize products developed by third parties. Currently,
the Company has an exclusive arrangement to market the Eddy draft regulator and
is one of several distributors of the Powr/Master electric generator.
EMPLOYEES
The Company has 10 employees all of which are full-time at its Nevada
and San Diego offices and retains specialists as consultants in various fields
of expertise.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
As of the date hereof IEC has not spent any material amounts of capital
or time in compliance with any federal, state or local environmental laws.
However, the Company anticipates that as its sells distributed generation and
cogeneration projects that it will spend capital in assisting their customers to
obtain any environmental permits required to operate any generating facilities
the Company may build and own directly. As the Company is just starting to
implement its business plan it has no reasonably reliable basis upon which to
estimate these costs, if any.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
BACKGROUND
The Company recently came out of its development stage and management
believes the Company will have material revenues during calendar year 2001.
Prior to this point in time the Company, since January 1998, had been primarily
engaged in researching the newly deregulated electric power industry, evaluating
potential opportunities and developing a business plan. In addition, the Company
began to locate, evaluate and hire the professional expertise management
believed would be necessary to implement its business plan. During this period
the Company had no revenues and existed off of working capital. Consequently the
Company has experienced operating losses for 1998 and 1999 and management
anticipates additional operating losses during fiscal year 2000.
In addition to the Company's continued operating losses, the Company
used significant amounts of cash from operating activities of $196,977 and
$1,466,142, respectively, in 1998 and 1999. These financial conditions required
the Company's Accountant to issue a "going concern" opinion as part of the
presentation of the Company's financial statements.
-10-
<PAGE> 13
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUE
As the Company was in a development stage until the third quarter of
2000, no revenue was generated in 1998 or 1999.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses increased 609% or $1,286,516 from $211,084 in 1998
to $1,497,600 in 1999. The increase in operating expenses is attributable to
several factors. As the Company developed it added a number of contract
employees and these additions are reflected in the increased fees paid to
contract employees of 591% from $98,765 in 1998 to $682,420 in 1999. This
increased activity is also reflected in increased travel expenses of $74,516
from $1,720 in 1998 to $76,236 in 1999.
Professional fees also increased in 1999 by $63,488 from $11,000 to
$74,488 in 1998 and 1999 respectively, due to the increased legal expenses in
1999 related to the preparation of a private placement memorandum, costs of Blue
Sky compliance and legal fees for completing the necessary steps and documents
for the Company to obtain a wholesale power marketer license from the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC").
In addition, operating expenses increased in 1999 as the Company
incurred a non-recurring expense of $180,000 to acquire an interest in a
proposed 120MW electric generation plant to be located in Acjautla, El Salvador.
NET LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Net loss from operations increased 609% or $1,286,516 from $211,084 in
1998 to $1,497,600 in 1999. The increase in net loss is directly related to the
increased operating expenses as detailed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $86,327 at the end of 1999. Cash at
December 31, 1999 represented approximately 56% of the Company's total assets of
$154,432. Cash increased in 1999 from $6,347 in 1998 primarily due to the
proceeds from the issuances of common stock. Cash used in operating activities
totaled $1,466,142 in 1999 as compared to $196,977 in 1998. Cash used in
operations increased primarily because of increased losses which result from
increased operating expenses.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $51,999 in 1999 compared to
$12,245 in 1998. Cash used in investing activities for both periods is for
purchases of property and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities consists of $1,598,121 from
proceeds from the sale of common stock and $7,845 from capital contributions
from an officer for 1999 as compared to $215,569 from proceeds from the sale of
common stock and $4,818 from capital contributions from an officer in 1998.
-11-
<PAGE> 14
The Company continues to rely on cash from the sale of its common stock
to finance its business plan and current operations. There is no assumption that
the Company can continue to raise the necessary capital to execute its business
plan.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Company operates from two locations, its headquarters located in
Las Vegas, Nevada and a sales office located in San Diego, California. The
Company at its Las Vegas location leases approximately 2,576 square feet
comprising the entire one-story building located at 6857 W. Charleston. The
lease is a three year lease which expires December 31, 2002. As part of its
lease obligation, the Company pays a rental fee plus all applicable property
taxes. The Company spent the sum of $5,023.20 per month during calendar year
2000 in support of its lease obligation which will rise to $5,224.13 per month
in 2001 and $5,433.10 per month in 2002.
The San Diego sales office is located at 3914 Murphy Canyon Road, Suite
A234 San Diego, California 92121, where the Company leases approximately 925
square feet. The two year lease requires payments of $1,388.00 per month from
May 1, 2000 to April 30, 2001 and $1,457.00 per month thereafter until the lease
terminates on April 30, 2002.

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the
Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent provided
by Nevada law. In addition, the Articles of Incorporation contain a provision
limiting a director's and officer's liability for monetary damages to the
fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
Furthermore, Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law (the
"NGCL") contains provisions relating to indemnification of officers and
directors. Section 78.751(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except for an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, except for an action by or in right of the
corporation by reason of the fact that he was director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation. In order to indemnify, it must be shown that he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest
of the corporation. Generally, no indemnification may be made where the person
has been determined to be negligent or guilty of misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the corporation.
Section 78.751(2) of the NGCL further allows the corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgement in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys' fees if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the opposed to the best interests
of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any clam, issue or
matter to which a court of competent jurisdiction has adjudged an officer or
director liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court
of competent jurisdiction determines that in view of the circumstances of the
case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such
expenses.
-17-
<PAGE> 20
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding discussed in the preceding paragraphs, Section
78.751(3) of the NGCL provide that he must be indemnified by the corporation
against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense.
Except when indemnification is required by a court of competent
jurisdiction, Section 78.751(4) of the NGCL states that the corporation shall
only indemnify upon a determination of (i) the shareholders; (ii) majority vote
of the board that were not parties to the action; (iii) if ordered by a majority
vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion if no quorum or directors who
were not parties to the action may be obtained.
Unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, indemnification
may not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a final
adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the
cause of action.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
person of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
as is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSULTANTS, INC.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of International Energy
Consultants, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of International Energy
Consultants, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As described in Note 3, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not
generated revenues as of December 31, 1999 and needs additional funding in order
to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
International Energy Consultants, Inc. (the "Company" or "IEC"), was
incorporated on August 15, 1997 in the state of Nevada in anticipation of
numerous product and service marketing opportunities emerging from energy
deregulation in the United States. The Company, which is headquartered in Las
Vegas, Nevada, has satellite offices in San Diego, Boston, and Elgin, South
Carolina which gives the Company the ability to capitalize on regional business
opportunities. IEC strives to maximize the customer's goal for safe, clean,
efficient, cost-effective power by providing superior integrated product lines
packaged with the energy purchasing decision-makers in mind. IEC's primary
function is to provide their clients with energy related consulting services,
and will leverage established and developing relationships with service and
equipment providers in order to offer a full complement of services and products
to the marketplace. IEC was accounted for as a development stage company until
September 2000, the period when the Company began to generate revenues.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Major renewals and betterments
are capitalized.
Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 5
years.
Deferred Rent
The Company has certain non-cancelable operating leases. For these leases, rent
expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. When
rent expense exceeds cash payments required under the leases, the Company
records deferred rent expense, which is reduced in future periods when cash
payments exceed rent expense.
Income Taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS
109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method
prescribed by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. When necessary, valuation allowances are provided to
reduce deferred tax assets to their net realizable value.

December 31, 1999 and 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per
share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common
shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. The
Company's common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted loss per
share for 1999 and 1998 as they are antidilutive. Therefore, diluted and basic
loss per share is identical. The total number of potentially dilutive securities
at December 31, 1999 and 1998 totaled 1,900,000.
Interim Periods
The information set forth in these financial statements as of September 30, 2000
and for the nine months then ended is unaudited and reflects all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results
of operations of the Company for the period. Results of operations for the
interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
the full fiscal year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosure About Fair Value
of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure about the fair value of all
financial assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998 the carrying value all of the Company's accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short
term nature.
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 the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS
123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". As permitted under this
standard, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for its stock
options issued to employees. Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss
per share, as provided for under the provisions of SFAS 123 are the same as
presented in the Statements of Operations as disclosed in Note 8.

The financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company sustained net losses of $1,497,600
and $211,084 during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively and
generated no revenues during these periods. Cash used in operations for the same
periods aggregated $1,466,142 and $196,977, respectively. The Company's
continued existence depends upon the success of management's efforts to raise
additional capital necessary to meet the Company's obligations as they come due
and to obtain sufficient capital to execute its business plan. The Company
intends to obtain capital primarily through issuances of common stock. There can
be no assurance given that the Company will be successful in completing
additional financing transactions.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or classification of
liabilities which may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a
going concern.

Had compensation cost for the Company's options been determined consistent with
FASB statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", the Company's
net loss would have been the same as presented in the Statements of Operations.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for
grants in fiscal year 1998; dividend yield of 0 percent; risk free interest of
6; and an expected life of 10 years. Because the Company is not a publicly
traded company, it is permitted under SFAS 123 to use the "minimum value"
method, which excludes the volatility factor from the option-pricing model. The
fair value of options issued during fiscal year 1998 was negligible.

9. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
In November 1998, the shareholders authorized a two-for-one stock split to be
implemented by a stock dividend of one share for each share outstanding to
shareholders of record on January 15, 1999. Shareholders' equity has been
restated to give retroactive recognition to the stock split for all periods
presented. In addition, all references to number of shares, per share amounts,
stock option data, and market prices of common stock have been restated to
reflect the stock split.
Prior to starting IEC, the CEO of the Company had a majority ownership in an
entity which was dissolved early in 1998. After IEC was incorporated, the CEO
made an offer to the shareholders of the dissolved entity to replace their
shares in the dissolved entity for shares in IEC. During 1998 and 1999, the
Company issued approximately 55,000 shares of common stock to replace shares in
the dissolved entity. Since this offer was made before IEC began any significant
activity, the value of this stock deemed distributed to the CEO was recorded at
par value.
10. NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM EMPLOYEE (UNAUDITED)
The Company has advanced amounts to certain employees under notes receivable.
These notes are uncollateralized, mature in 2002 and bear interest at 8.5% per
annum.
