GENERAL
         The Company has been in the development stage since it acquired the
deficit accumulated by Nevada Energy Control Systems, Inc., in developing an
evaporator fan control system. The Company's activities have consisted of
obtaining financing and capital and initiating marketing of the product. The
Company filed a public offering as of June 5, 1998. Since that date, the Company
has sold stock in compliance with an exemption from registration under the
Federal and State Securities laws provided by Regulation D, Rule 504 and Rule
506 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Due to changes in requirements to
be listed on the over the counter bulletin board by the National Association of
Security Dealers, the Company filed Form 10SB12G on May 2, 1999 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in order to qualify for listing and is now
listed on NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board.

asset is no longer useful and the carrying amount of the asset cannot be
realized through sale.

         The Company has adopted the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of
inventory valuation or market, if that is lower.

C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

development costs.

INVENTORIES

Inventory consists of finished evaporator fan control units and parts.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

THIS ANALYSIS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING COMMENTS, WHICH ARE BASED ON CURRENT
INFORMATION. ACTUAL RESULTS IN THE FUTURE MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY.

The Company is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing
energy efficiency and conservation products. The Company's second and third
products, the ART4000N and the ART5000, are currently in production. They are
patented evaporator fan controllers for walk-in refrigerators and freezers,
which can save the consumer from 30-40% in refrigeration energy costs. In
addition, the ART 5000 unit keeps track of energy consumption and savings, and
gives warnings of possible maintenance problems.

During these six months, the Company's products have qualified for rebate
programs offered to both small and large commercial users of refrigeration by
three of the largest investor-owned utilities in California. These rebate and
incentive programs enable small business owners, in particular, to take
advantage of energy saving equipment, such as the ART Evaporator Fan
Controllers. The Company has begun working with several Manufacturers Sales
Representatives to sell the Company's products on a commission basis, especially
in the geographic areas covered by these utilities.

Also during these six months, the Company was selected to supply over 20 ART
4000N units to two convenience store chains for testing, through a division of
PG&E Energy Services. Training in installation was included in this sale. It is
expected that this preliminary sale will develop into potential sales of up to
25,000 units in the next three years.

The San Diego City School District also purchased several ART5000 units to
accompany their earlier installations of 25 ART4000 units in their school
cafeterias.

The Company is completing the design effort on the ART 6000, which offers the
ability to remotely access its cost savings and alarm information. It is planned
to begin shipments of this model in the fourth quarter of the year 2000.

The comparison of the second quarter and first six months of 2000 with the
second quarter and first six months of 1999 indicates that the Company is
spending at about the same level. Marketing efforts will be stepped up as
finances allow.

Year 2000 Compliance: With respect to Year 2000 compliance, the Company
manufactures a product, which contains microprocessors. The source code for the
microprocessors has been written so that it is not dependent on dates, but,
instead, functions on a 24-hour internal timing routine. To this extent, all
products currently being manufactured by the Company are Year 2000 compliant.

The Company has performed an audit of all of its computer hardware, internal
accounting and software applications and found all to be Year 2000 compliant or
capable.

Item 3.  Risks

The Company will continue in its efforts to raise capital so that the ART
Evaporator Fan Controllers can be sold and delivered. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain capital.
