ELECTRO-KINETIC SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from
the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB,
which became effective on March 31, 2000 and is presented for comparative
purposes. All other financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments which include only normal recurring adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full year.
Footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in
accordance with the published rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the most recent fiscal year.
GOING CONCERN - The Company has a history of continuing operating losses
and failure in its ability to exploit various opportunities it has pursued.
While its financial position has improved marginally as a result of its recent
financing of $27,500 in the form of two-year convertible notes, the Company has
a negative net worth and no operations to provide capital. The Company continues
to pursue merger and reverse merger offers, but there is no assurance of success
in these goals. The auditors, in their annual report for the year ended December
31, 1999, expressed doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the selected
financial data and the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
GENERAL
Electro-Kinetic Systems, Inc. [EKS or the Company] was formed on April 24, 1972,
under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Its corporate office is now located
in Jersey City, New Jersey. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Electro-Kinetic Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company ceased its laboratory operations in March 1995 and failed in its
subsequent efforts for profit education (1996), magazine publishing (1996),
visual communication technology (1997), marketing of computer decision models
(1997 and 1998), and desk-top publishing and printing (1995-98).
The Company had no operations in 1999 and 2000. The Company's 50% owned
unconsolidated affiliate, Printone Media Inc., ceased operations in 1998. As a
result of the acquisition of Israel Investment Technologies, Inc. and two
affiliates, in September 1995, the Company acquired certain preliminary designs
for developments of computer models in the fields of medical compliance and
electronic book publishing. The Company has been unsuccessful in its efforts to
exploit these developments.
The Company's loss for the first quarter increased from $8,099 in 1999 to
$61,452 in 2000, primarily as a result of increases in interest expense of
approximately $45,000. The Company borrowed $27,500 during the first quarter of
2000 under two year, 6% notes, convertible into 5,500,000 common shares. The
accounting requirement is to value the conversion factor as interest computed by
the difference between the average bid and ask price of the common stock (.0135)
and the conversion price (.005) times the number of shares (5,500,000) to which
the loan can be converted. This calculation has no effect on stockholders'
equity (deficiency) since the expense charged to earnings is offset by a
corresponding increase in paid-in capital.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital increased from ($19,565) as of December 31, 1999 to ($3,164) as
of March 31 2000. New directors and officers were elected (with the exception of
one carryover member) in January 2000, who negotiated loans in the amount of
$27,500, due in two years with an interest rate of 6%, convertible into common
shares of the Company as detailed above.
Shareholders' equity declined from ($19,565) to ($24,336), as a result of an
operating loss of $(61,452) offset by $44,750 of imputed value of the conversion
feature and by the issuance of 75,000 shares of stock in partial payment of
indebtedness valued at $11,931. (The debt for which stock was issued and
settled.)
The Company's operating losses during the past years have been funded by the
sale of its common stock, by loans from shareholders, and by the disposal of a
subsidiary. For the Company to become a viable entity, it must continue to raise
sufficient capital to fund its plans. The Company is seeking merger
opportunities, but there can be no assurance of success in these endeavors.
