NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by
International Fuel Technology, Inc. ("IFT"), without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
IFT believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the information furnished in these financial
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the
information contained therein. It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in IFT's transitional report for the period ended December 31, 1999 as
filed with the SEC on Form 10-K (Commission File No. 000-25367). IFT follows
the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual
results.
Primary and diluted loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each period.
Note 2 -- Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
------------------------------------------------
IFT's financial statements are presented on the going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. IFT has incurred significant losses since
inception and has limited funds with which to operate. Management anticipates
receiving diploma certification in 2000 from the California Air Resources Board
that its PEERDIESEL(R) product reduces polluting emissions from internal
combustion engines. Shortly thereafter, IFT expects to begin licensing its
product which management believes will generate sufficient revenue to continue
the IFT's operations. However, there is no assurance that IFT will receive
diploma certification or be able to generate sufficient revenue through the
licensing of its product to provide sufficient working capital. Management
believes approximately $1.5 million of additional capital will be required
through the end of this fiscal year. Management does not have an estimate of the
amount of revenue necessary to attain positive cash flow. In February 2000, IFT
entered into a convertible debenture purchase agreement to raise $3,000,000
through the sale of convertible debentures. This agreement was amended in June
2000 to raise $1,500,000 through the sale of convertible debentures. In
connection with the convertible debenture purchase agreement IFT issued a
warrant to purchase 390,000 shares of common stock. (See Footnote 4) IFT
additionally issued 195,000 shares of common stock to the proposed purchasers of
the convertible debentures in conjunction with an amendment to the convertible
debenture purchase agreement dated June 16, 2000. (See Footnote 4).

INTERNATIONAL FUEL TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Such financing is contingent upon IFT's ability to register the shares of common
stock underlying the warrants and debentures with the SEC. There can be no
assurance that the registration will be granted effectiveness by the SEC, in
which case IFT would be required to seek alternate sources of financing. IFT's
continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve its liquidity
shortfall principally by obtaining this additional debt financing or raising
equity capital. IFT must continue to operate on limited cash flow generated
internally. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets
or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the
possible inability of IFT to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Note Payable to Stockholders
In March 2000 ONKAR Corporation, Ltd. ("ONKAR"), a stockholder of IFT, advanced
IFT $50,000 which is due in March 2005 and has an annual interest rate of 6%. In
April 2000 ONKAR advanced IFT $50,000 which is due in April 2005 and has an
annual interest rate of 6%. In addition, IFT has note payable to ONKAR for
$62,500 which is due in November 2004 at an annual interest rate of 6%.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2000 IFT received advances from
stockholders totaling $105,000. The advances are expected to be repaid in the
three month period ending September 30, 2000. In addition to the repayment of
principal each stockholder will receive a warrant to purchase from IFT up to
25,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per share for each $5,000 in principal
advanced to IFT. The value of the warrants, $452,730, based on the market value
of IFT's common stock on the day(s) the advances were received has been recorded
as a discount on the notes payable to stockholders and as an addition to
additional paid in capital. During the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000, $120,595 was amortized against the discount on notes payable to
stockholders and recognized as interest expense.
Note 4 - Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)
On April 26, 1999 IFT offered all stockholders of record on March 31, 1999 the
right to purchase 900 common shares at $.50 per share. During January 2000 IFT
issued 1,800 shares and received proceeds of $450 as a result of this offering
which expired May 28, 1999. The $450 for the other 900 shares was received
during the nine month period ended December 31, 1999.
During January 2000 IFT issued 100,000 shares of common stock in a private
placement for $200,000 to a company whose sole owner is a director of IFT. The
market value of the shares on the date of issuance was $331,250. The $131,250
of market value in excess of the cash amount received has been recorded as
consulting expense during the three month period ended March 31, 2000.
On July 13, 1999 IFT entered into employment agreements with its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Operating Officer which expire January 31, 2000 with options
to extend until July 31, 2000. Under the terms of these agreements, these
officers will each receive base pay of $1,000 per month plus up to a total of
60,000 and 30,000 shares of IFT's stock, respectively, payable at the end of the
initial term of the agreements. The shares are earned ratably on a monthly
basis. The 90,000 shares earned under these employment agreements were issued
on January 31, 2000.
At December 31, 1999, IFT owed one of its stockholders approximately $89,000 for
legal services performed. In February 2000, the stockholder agreed to accept
27,559 shares of IFT's stock in lieu of cash for the amounts due to him. The
value of the shares issued, $99,901, was based upon the market value price of
the common shares on February 9, 2000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
On February 9, 2000 IFT issued 100,000 common shares related to the Blencathia
merger agreement. IFT determined that these shares were issued to the incorrect
parties and the number of shares issued were incorrect. On May 8, 2000, IFT
agreed to the return of these shares to be canceled with these shareholders. The
shares were outstanding as of June 30, 2000 and the par value of these shares is
reflected in these financial statements as a deduction from additional paid in
capital. See Note 5 for subsequent cancellation.
Effective January 14, 2000 IFT adopted a Consultant and Employee Stock
Compensation Plan. This plan provides that the Board of Directors may award
shares of IFT's stock to officers, directors, consultants and employees as
compensation for services. The maximum number of shares of common stock, which
may be awarded under this plan, is 500,000 shares. During March 2000 IFT issued
a total of 65,000 shares of common stock to five directors as reimbursement for
directors' expenses. The value of these shares, reflected in these financial
statements as payroll expenses for Jonathan Burst and William J. Lindenmayer in
the amount of $55,000 and as board meeting and travel expenses in the amount of
$117,216 and $6,534, respectively, for the remaining directors, has been
calculated based on the trading price of IFT's stock at February 23, 2000.
On February 23, 2000 the Board of Directors granted Jonathan Burst 100,000
shares of IFT's common stock for his appointment as Chief Executive Officer.
The value of these shares, reflected in these financial statements as payroll
expense, has been calculated based on the trading price of IFT's stock at
February 23, 2000. On February 23, 2000 the Board of Directors awarded an
initial grant of 100,000 shares of IFT's common stock to William Lindenmayer for
his appointment as President and Chief Operating Officer. The value of these
shares, reflected in these financial statements as payroll expense, has been
calculated based on the trading price of IFT's stock at February 23, 2000. The
total charged to payroll expense for these transactions was $550,000.
During February 2000 IFT issued 195,000 shares of common stock and placed them
in escrow in accordance with the convertible debenture purchase agreement
entered into in February 2000. The shares were to be released from escrow and
issued to the purchasers of the convertible debenture in the event of an uncured
default by IFT prior to the closing of the convertible debenture purchase
agreement. The 195,000 shares of common stock were released to the purchasers of
the convertible debenture purchase agreement in conjunction with an amendment to
the convertible debenture purchase agreement dated June 16, 2000, and were
recorded as a deferred financing charge of $109,688 based on the trading price
of IFT's stock. This amount will be amortized over future periods using the
interest method over the life of the GEM convertible debentures. These charges
will be reclassed as debt discount upon issuance of the debt.
On March 28, 2000 a warrant for 390,000 shares of common stock was exercised by
GEM Global Yield Fund Limited at a cost of $.01 per share. The value over par
value of these shares, reflected in these financial statements as a deferred
financing charge, has been calculated based on the trading price of IFT's stock
at March 28, 2000 in the amount of $1,141,725. This amount will be amortized
over future periods using the interest method over the life of the GEM
convertible debentures. These charges will be reclassed as debt discount upon
issuance of the debt.

On May 8, 2000 IFT issued 300,000 common shares that were placed into escrow per
the Blencathia merger agreement. The par value of these shares, $3,000, has
been recorded as a deduction from additional paid in capital pending sale of the
shares from escrow.
On June 19, 2000 IFT issued 250,000 common shares to a director of the company
for consulting services. The value of the shares, $218,750, was recorded to
consulting expense and was based on the trading price of IFT's stock.
During January 2000, IFT entered into an employment agreement with Jonathan R.
Burst to serve as Chief Executive Officer of IFT until December 31, 2000 at a
base annual salary of $180,000. In addition, Mr. Burst is to receive 6,000
shares of common stock each month. During January 2000, IFT entered into an
employment agreement with William J. Lindenmayer to serve as Chief Operating
Officer of IFT until December 31, 2000 at a base annual salary of $180,000. In
addition, Mr. Lindenmayer is to receive 3,000 shares of common stock each month.
The shares are earned ratably on a monthly basis. The stock based compensation
earned through June 30, 2000, reflected in these financial statements as
payroll expense and as additional paid in capital, has been calculated based on
the trading price of IFT's stock at February 1, 2000 in the amount of $146,250.
Note 5 -- Subsequent Events

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements and Associated Risks
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A contains forward-looking statements made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These forward looking statements are based largely on IFT's
expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of
which are beyond IFT's control, including, but not limited to, economic,
competitive and other factors affecting IFT's operations, markets, products
and services, expansion strategies and other factors discussed elsewhere in
this report and the documents filed by IFT with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking
statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no
assurance that the forward-looking information contained in this report will
in fact prove accurate. IFT does not undertake any obligation to revise these
forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.
Overview
IFT was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in April 1996, to
develop and commercialize a proprietary scientific process, "Performance
Enhanced Emissions Reduced" ("PEER"), that reformulates various refined fuels,
including #2 diesel fuel, home heating oil, #6 (Bunker) fuel, jet engine fuel
and gasoline to improve combustion efficiency and reduce the amounts of
harmful exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines. The resulting
reprocessed fuels are known as PEERFUEL. IFT is a development stage company,
has had no revenues to date and has raised capital for initial development
through the issuance of its securities and promissory notes.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared
to the Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
Total operating expenses from development stage operations were $567,701 for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the development stage
operating expenses of $431,010 for the three month period ended June 30, 1999.
This represents an increase of $136,691, or 31.7%, from the prior period.
Total operating expenses from development state operations were $1,842,328 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the development stage
operating expenses of $866,776 for the six month period ended June 30, 1999.
This represents an increase of $975,552 increase from the prior period.
Increased development stage operating expenses in the current period compared
to the prior period are a result of increased payroll expenses, consultant
fees, advertising and marketing expenses, board meeting expenses, professional
services expenses, and travel expenses.
Board meeting expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $117,216
representing an increase of $117,216 over the corresponding period of 1999.
On February 23, 2000 the Board of Directors adopted the Director's Stock
Compensation Plan, which provides for an annual award of 10,000 shares of
IFT's common stock to IFT's Board members as reimbursement for their
attendance at the Board meetings and an additional 1,000 shares of IFT's
common stock for any three-telephone conference call Board meetings attended.
During March 2000, 45,000 shares of IFT's common stock were issued to three,
non-employee, Board members, calculated based on the trading price of IFT's
stock at February 23, 2000 which was $2.75 per share, and are reflected in
these financial statements as Board meeting expense of $117,216 and travel
expense $6,534.
Consulting expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $103,383
as compared to $90,000 for the same period in 1999. This represents an
increase of $13,383, or 14.9%, from the corresponding period for 1999.
Consulting expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $278,632 as
compared to $91,500 for the same period in 1999. This represents an increase
of
11
<PAGE>
$187,132 from the corresponding period in 1999. IFT sold 100,000 common
shares to a company whose sole director is a director of IFT for $200,000.
The market value on the day of issuance for these 100,000 common shares was
$331,250. The $131,250 in market value in excess of the cash amount received
is reflected in these financial statements as consulting expense and
additional paid in capital. The remaining amount of the increase is due to
consultants used in the operations of IFT and in the development of a market
for IFT's common stock. Pursuant to a consulting agreement dated June 5,
2000, IFT issued 250,000 shares of restricted common stock to a company whose
sole director is a director of IFT. The market value on the day of the
agreement was $218,750. The $218,750 in market value is reflected in these
financial statements as consulting expense and additional paid in capital. In
addition, consulting expenses were reduced by $110,367 due to the elimination of
a related party account payable that had previously been recorded to consulting
expenses.
Research and development costs during the three months ended June 30, 2000
were $1,736 as compared to $232,253 for the same period in 1999. This
represents a decrease of $230,517, or 99.3% from the corresponding period for
1999. Research and development costs during the six months ended June 30,
2000 were $1,736 as compared to $560,812 for the same period in 1999. This
represents a decrease of $559,076, or 99.7%, from the corresponding period for
1999. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction of the purchase of
testing supplies, rental equipment and decreased testing and laboratory fees.
Payroll expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2000 were $245,467 as
compared to $29,989 for the same period in 1999. This represents an increase
of $215,478 from the corresponding period of 1999. Payroll expenses during
the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $1,014,978 compared to $93,643 for the
same period in 1999. This represents an increase of $921,335 from the
corresponding of 1999. The increase was primarily due to the Board of
Director's granting a bonus of 100,000 shares of IFT's common stock paid to
each of IFT's President/COO and to its Chief Executive Officer on February 23,
2000, and these shares have been reflected in these financial statements as
payroll expense of $550,000. Additionally, on February 23, 2000 the Board of
Directors adopted the Director's Stock Compensation Plan, which provided for
an annual award of 10,000 shares of IFT's common stock to Board members as
reimbursement for their attendance at the Board meetings. The President/COO
and the Chief Executive Officer were awarded 10,000 shares of IFT's common
stock as Board members, and these shares have been reflected in these
financial statements as payroll expense of $55,000. The stock-award shares
value was calculated based on the trading price of IFT's stock at February 23,
2000 which was $2.75 per share. Additionally, on January 31, 2000 IFT
extended the employment agreements with its President/COO and Chief Executive
Officer through December 31, 2000. Under these agreements, the President/COO
will receive an annual base salary of $180,000, 3,000 shares of IFT's common
stock per month and a bonus award as deemed appropriate by the Board of
Directors of IFT. The Chief Executive Officer will receive an annual base
salary of $180,000, 6,000 shares of IFT's common stock per month and a bonus
award as deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of IFT. The employment
agreement shares in the amount of 45,000 are reflected in these financial
statements as payroll expense and additional paid in capital, and the shares
value was calculated based on the trading price of IFT's stock at February 1,
2000 which was $3.25 per share. During the three month period ended March 31,
2000, payroll expense from common stock issued totaled $341,500 for the Chief
Executive Officer and $322,000 for the President/COO. During the six month
period ended June 30. 2000, payroll expense from common stock issued totaled
$400,000 for the Chief Executive Officer and $351,250 for the President/COO.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, payroll expense from payroll
accruals pursuant to the employment agreements with the President/COO and
Chief Executive Officer totaled $86,633. During the six month period ended
June 30, 2000, payroll tax expense from payroll accruals pursuant to the
employment agreements with the President/COO and Chief Executive Officer
totaled $7,159.
Professional services during the three months ended June 30, 2000 were
$183,528 as compared to $9,152 for the same period in 1999. This represents
an increase of $174,376 over the corresponding period for 1999. Professional
services during the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $344,810 as compared
to $12,350 for the same period in 1999. This represents an increase of
$332,460 over the corresponding period for 1999. The increase is primarily
due to the increased expenses for legal,
12
<PAGE>
accounting, SEC Edgar filings, research professionals, and the use of a
temporary employment service.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $122,968 as
compared to $20 for the same period in 1999. This represents an increase of
$122,948 over the corresponding period for 1999. Interest expense for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 was $124,417 as compared to $19,357 for the same
period in 1999. This represents an increase of $105,060 over the
corresponding period for 1999. The increase is primarily due to IFT's
issuance of common stock warrants to stockholders for advances received being
amortized by $120,595. The increase is lessened due to an agreement entered
into with certain promissory note holders on November 1, 1999 to issue 423,537
shares of its common stock by December 31, 1999 in exchange for the balance of
the promissory notes due in the amount of $704,254 and interest on the notes
due in the amount of $142,820 at $2.00 per share. The exchange shares were
issued on December 31, 1999 that reduced interest expense for the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2000.
The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $690,669 as compared
to the net loss of $431,030 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This
represents an increase of $259,639, or 60.2% from the prior period. The net
loss per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $.04 as
compared to the net loss per common share of $.03 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$1,966,745 as compared to the net loss of $886,133 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. This represents an increase of $1,080,612 from the prior
period. The net loss per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $.11 as compared to the net loss per common share of $.07 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivatives and
Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2000
and requires comparative information for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. IFT does not expect the adoption of this
statement to have significant impact on its results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.
Year 2000 Matters
The "Year 2000" problem refers to the potential for computational errors or
system malfunctions by computer hardware or software that fail to properly
recognize dates beginning with January 1, 2000, or which fail to recognize
2000 as a leap year. In anticipation of this problem, we implemented a Year
2000 readiness program intended to identify, evaluate and address our Year
2000 exposure.
At the time that this report was prepared, we had not experienced any material
Year 2000 problems with our internal systems and were not aware of any such
problems experienced by our vendors and other service providers. As a result,
no material adverse impact of the Year 2000 problem on our business and
operations was expected at the time of this report, based upon the information
available to us. Although we believe that it is unlikely at the time of this
report, there can be no assurance that any Year 2000 problems will not result
in material cost to us or have a material, adverse impact on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
A critical component of IFT's operating plan impacting the continued existence
of IFT is the ability to obtain additional capital through additional debt
and/or equity financing. We do not anticipate IFT will generate a positive
internal cash flow until such time as IFT can generate revenues from license
fees from its PEERFUEL process and/or direct sales of its PEERFUEL products,
either or both of which
13
<PAGE>
may take the next few years to realize. In the event we cannot obtain the
necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, IFT may have to cease or
significantly curtail its operations. This would materially impact our ability
to continue as a going concern.
We have met our capital needs since inception primarily through the issuance
of common stock as compensation for services rendered, which have totaled
$11,305,666 since inception in April 1996, and for the six month period ended
June 30, 2000, totaled $1,355,190. In addition to these amounts, we have
raised $2,788,028 in cash from the issuance of common stock since the IFT's
inception, with $204,350 of this total raised during the six month period
ended June 30, 2000. Most of these funds have been raised through private
placement transactions. Finally, since IFT's inception, financing totaling
$1,520,925 was raised privately through notes payable to various sources, of
which $549,171 was repaid, $677,754 was converted to common stock, and
$267,500 is recorded as a liability on the June 30, 2000, balance sheet. For
the six months ended June 30, 2000 proceeds from notes payable to stockholders
totaled $205,000.
The cash used in operating activities is $428,453 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $542,539 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. The primary use of the additional cash in
operations compared to the prior year was for accounts payable. The cash
provided by financing activities was $409,350 for the six months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to $473,804 provided by financing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. Net cash decreased by $19,103 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to net cash decreasing by $68,735 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.
Working capital at June 30, 2000 was ($599,026) as compared to ($808,659) at
December 31, 1999. The primary increase in working capital is due to the
decrease of accounts payable during the six month period ended June 30, 2000
and the issuance of warrants to stockholders for advances received during the
six month period ended June 30, 2000.
While management can not make any assurance as to the accuracy of our
projections of future capital needs, it is anticipated that a total of
approximately $1.5 million over the next year will be necessary in order to
enable us to meet our capital needs. We believe the $1.5 million will be used
as follows: $600,000 for specific testing as part of required regulatory
procedures as set by the Air Resources Board of California ("CARB"), $150,000
for commercial fleet testing programs, $188,000 for initial sales and
marketing efforts, and $562,000 for salary and related administrative expenses
(rent, telephone, etc.). The budget includes officers deferring a portion of
their salary for over the next twelve months. In February 2000, IFT entered
into a convertible debenture purchase agreement to raise $3,000,000 through
the sale of convertible debentures. During June 2000 this agreement was
amended to raise $1,500,000 through the sale of convertible debentures. In
connection with the convertible debenture purchase agreement IFT issued a
warrant for the purchase 390,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per common
share. This warrant was exercised on March 28,2000. IFT additionally issued
195,000 shares of common stock to the purchasers of the convertible debenture
purchase agreement in conjunction with an amendment to the convertible
debenture purchase agreement dated June 16, 2000. Such financing is
contingent upon IFT's ability to register the shares of common stock
underlying the warrants and debentures with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). There can be no assurance that the registration will
be granted effectiveness by the SEC, in which case IFT would be required to
seek alternate sources of financing.
During the three month period ended June 30, 2000 IFT received advances from
stockholders totaling $105,000. The advances are expected to be repaid in the
three month period ending September 30, 2000. In addition to the repayment of
principal each stockholder will receive a warrant to purchase from IFT up to
25,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per share for each $5,000 in principal
advanced to IFT. The value of the warrants, $452,730, based on the market
value of IFT's common stock on the day(s) the advances were received has been
recorded as a discount on the notes payable to stockholders and as an addition
to additional paid in capital. During the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 2000 $120,595 was amortized against the discount on notes
payable to stockholders and recognized as interest expense.

Subsequent Events
During July 2000 IFT canceled 100,000 common shares that had previously been
issued in connection with a the Blencathia merger agreement.
During July 2000 IFT issued 100,000 common shares due to the exercise of a
warrant issued in connection with advances received from stockholders.
On August 9, 2000 IFT issued 25,000 common shares due to the exercise of a
warrant issued in connection with advances received from stockholders.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, operations of IFT may be exposed to
fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs of
financing, investing and operating transactions. Because the Company had
minimum debt there is no material impact on earnings of fluctuations in
interest.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On June 16, 2000 IFT submitted two matters to a vote of security holders at an
annual meeting. The election of five directors for the ensuring year and the
approval of BDO Seidman, LLP as independent accountants for the year 2000 were
voted on by the required quorum. The five directors recommended by IFT
management were elected to serve for the ensuing year with 9,071,735 votes for,
and 123,395 votes withheld and BDO Seidman, LLP was approved as independent
accountants for the year 2000 with 9,114,619 votes for, 74,563 votes against and
5,948 votes abstained.
