                          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


          Board of Directors
          Electric & Gas Technology, Inc.

          We have reviewed the accompanying condensed  consolidated balance
          sheet of Electric &  Gas Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries  as of
          October  31,   2000  and  the   related  condensed   consolidated
          statements  of operations,  changes in  stockholders' equity  and
          cash  flows  for  the three  month  periods  then  ended.   These
          statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

          We conducted our review  in accordance with standards established
          by  the American  Institute of  Certified  Public Accountant.   A
          review of  interim financial information  consists principally of
          analytical  procedures  applied  to  financial  data  and  making
          inquiries of  persons responsible  for  financial and  accounting
          matters.   It  is substantially  less in  scope than an  audit in
          accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing  standards,  the
          objective  of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the
          financial  statements taken as a  whole.  Accordingly,  we do not
          express such an opinion.

          Based  on  our  review,   we  are  not  aware  of   any  material
          modifications that  should be made to  the accompanying condensed
          financial statements in order  for them to be in  conformity with
          generally accepted accounting principles.

          We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
          auditing standards, the consolidated  balance sheet of Electric &
          Gas Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2000 and the
          related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
          and  cash flows for the year then ended (not presented separately
          herein), and in our  report dated October 23, 2000,  we expressed
          an  unqualified opinion on  those financial  statements.   In our
          opinion, the information set  forth in the accompanying condensed
          consolidated  balance sheet as of July 31, 2000 is fairly stated,
          in  all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet taken
          as a whole.

          NOTE A - GENERAL

          Electric  &  Gas  Technology, Inc.("the  Company"or  "ELGT")  was
          organized under the laws of the State of Texas on March 18, 1985,
          to  serve   as  a   holding  company  for   operating  subsidiary
          corporations.   The  Company presently  is the  owner of  100% of
          Reynolds  and Hydel  and  owns 91.5%  of  AMT and,  through  such
          subsidiaries, operates  in three distinct business  segments: (1)
          production of  atmospheric water, filtration  and enhanced  water
          products  (AMT); (2)  the  manufacture and  sale  of natural  gas
          measurement,  metering and odorization  equipment (Reynolds); and
          (3)  the manufacture  and sale of  electric meter  enclosures and
          pole-line  hardware for  the  electric utility  industry and  the
          general public (Hydel).   Effective October 1,  1997, the Company
          agreed to sell  its defense electronics  business segment and  on
          December  31, 1997  it  sold its  plastics  segment.   Both  such
          operations   have  been   treated  as   discontinued  operations.
          Effective July  31, 1997, the Company discontinued the operations
          of its metal fabrication segment  which previously was engaged in
          the  manufacture  and  sale  of precision  metal  enclosures  for
          telecommunication  and computer equipment  (Logic).   The Company
          sold  its Canadian heating division and its U.S. meter socket and
          Test  Switch  divisions  during  fiscal 1996  and  1995.    These
          operations were part of the electric segment.

          The   accompanying  condensed  financial   statements  have  been
          prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and
          Exchange   Commission  (SEC)  for   inclusion  in  the  Company's
          Quarterly  Report on  Form 10-Q.   They  are subject  to year-end
          audit  adjustments; however,  they reflect  all adjustments  of a
          normal recurring  nature which are, in the opinion of Management,
          necessary for a fair  statement of the results of  operations for
          the interim periods.

          The statements were prepared using generally  accepted accounting
          principles.   As permitted by the SEC, the statements depart from
          generally  accepted  accounting  disclosure  principles  in  that
          certain  data is  combined,  condensed or  summarized that  would
          otherwise be  reported separately and certain  disclosures of the
          type that were made  in the Notes to Financial Statements for the
          year ended July 31, 2000 have  been omitted, even though they are
          necessary for a  fair presentation of  the financial position  at
          October 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of operations  and cash
          flows for the periods then ended.

          NOTE C - COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

          On  December  15, 1995,  the Company  closed  on a  Note Purchase
          Agreement  with Allied  Products Corporation  ("Allied"), thereby
          obtaining  Allied's right, title and interest in and to a certain
          Promissory  Note   and  all  security  existing   thereunder  and
          obligations of Cooper Manufacturing  Corporation ("Cooper") under
          this Note and the Facility Agreement  formerly executed by Cooper
          and its shareholders in  exchange for $100,000 in cash  and newly
          issued  90,000  shares   of  Series  A,  $10.00  par   value,  7%
          Convertible Preferred stock  of the Company.  The promissory note
          was due on  December 31, 1995 and demand for  payment was made on
          Cooper and its guarantors.   The preferred stock was  convertible
          into common  stock of the Company  at the ratio of  two shares of
          common stock for each share  of preferred stock.  Each holder  of
          record of  the shares of preferred stock  is entitled to one vote
          per  share equal to the voting rights of the common shareholders.
          The  Company  had  agreed  to  make  whole  any  deficiency  upon
          conversion and  subsequent sale  after December 31,  1997 of  the
          Company's common stock for less than $900,000.

          An  Illinois's court awarded a  judgement on January  28, 1999 in
          favor  of Allied  and  against  the  Company  in  the  amount  of
          approximately  $1,100,000.   The lawsuit  between Allied  and the
          Company was settled  and dismissed.  The  settlement required the
          repurchase by the Company of the 90,000 shares of preferred stock
          for $1.1 million  which would  satisfy a judgement  by the  Court
          requiring such  a purchase.   An affiliate  acquired said  90,000
          shares and the  judgement. The transaction  was completed by  the
          affiliate  with  $1.2  million  of  collateral  supplied  by  the
          Company.  The affiliate  pursued the sale of the preferred  stock
          to a third  party, and on July 31, 2000,  the Company retired the
          preferred stock.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The  Company,  through its  subsidiaries,  operates within  three
          separate  industries.   These are  (i) production  of atmospheric
          water, filtration  and  enhanced  water  products;    (ii)    the
          manufacture   of  natural  gas   measurement  equipment  and  gas
          odorization products; and (iii) the manufacture and sale of metal
          enclosures and other electrical equipment for use in the electric
          utility industry.

          Results of Operations

          Summary.   The Company reported net earnings from of $138,841 and
          $339,157  for the three months  ended October 31,  2000 and 1999,
          respectively.  Operating income increased by $140,998 to $294,589
          the  result  of  higher margins  in  both  the  gas and  electric
          segments   with  reduced  selling,   general  and  administrative
          expenses.    Gross  margins  increased  from  25.99%  to  29.68%.
          Selling, general and administrative expenses as a relationship to
          revenues  at the segment level decreased from 20.93% to 19.92% of
          revenues.   Net earnings for  the quarter ended  October 31, 1999
          were materially  effected by the  Company's successful resolution
          of its  lawsuit with its former  manufacturer's representative of
          its  discontinued metal  fabrication  segment.   The Company  had
          previously provided a  reserve of approximately $500,000  against
          any  potential exposure in  connection with  the lawsuit  and any
          claims made by the purchaser of the business.

          Increases(decreases) for  the three months  period ended  October
          31, 2000,  as compared with the  similar period of 1999,  for key
          operating data were as follows:

          Water segment had no revenues during the first quarters of fiscal
          2001  and  2000.    Expenses  amounted  to  $20,071 and  $14,041,
          respectively, which were monies expended for further  development
          and testing of the  "Watermaker."  The Company continues  to test
          and develop this technology  to ultimately produce reliable, safe
          and marketable products.

          Gas  revenues  increased by  $92,487 for  the three  months ended
          October 31, 2000.  Operating income increased by $133,404 for the
          three  months  ended October  31,  2000,  resulting in  operating
          profit of $173,840, the result of increasing margins and slightly
          reduced  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses.    The
          increase in  revenues  and improved  margins were  the result  of
          additional  revenues earned  on  the joint  venture with  Niagara
          Mohawk  Power's  BTU  meter project.    Future  periods  will not
          benefit from this source  of revenues until the commercialization
          of the BTU meter.

                                          15

          Electric  revenues for the  three months ended  October 31, 2000,
          decreasing  by   $(110,382) or  (4.84)%.   Gross margins  for the
          three  months  improved slightly  to  around  21.46%.   Operating
          profits increased  by  $13,624 due  to the  improved margins  and
          reduced  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses.    The
          electric segment consists of  only the Canadian meter socket  and
          pole line hardware  product lines selling almost  entirely in the
          Canadian markets.

          With the  exception of  expense relationships discussed  above in
          the  specific segment discussion, such other relationships remain
          consistent.  Operating profits increased by 91.80%, the effect of
          increased  margins  3.70%  and   reduced  selling,  general   and
          administrative expenses of 1.00%,  discussed above, for the three
          months ended October 31, 2000.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Liquidity.  Current  assets of the Company totaled  $7,063,089 at
          October  31, 2000  and  $7,285,867 at  July  31, 2000.    Current
          liabilities decreased  by $(172,833), resulting in  a decrease in
          working  capital (current  assets  less  current liabilities)  to
          $4,417,991 at October 31, 2000, from $4,467,936 at July 31, 2000.
          The  Company believes  that it  has and will  generate sufficient
          cash  to   meet  its   working  capital  requirements   and  debt
          obligations.

          Hydel has a  working capital line-of-credit with a  Canadian bank
          in  the amount of approximately  $1,500,000.  The Canadian credit
          facility is secured by  receivables, inventories and equipment of
          Hydel.

          The   Company   continues  to   borrow   under   its  CIT   Group
          Credit/Finance, Inc. revolving and term loan facility.  Borrowing
          under  the  revolving  portion  is  based  on  eligible  accounts
          receivable and inventory.  The outstanding revolving loan balance
          was $309,619 and the term loan balance was $35,953 at October 31,
          2000.

          Capital Expenditures

          For  Fiscal 2001,  the Company  (and its  subsidiaries) does  not
          anticipate  any significant  capital expenditures, other  than in
          the ordinary  course of replacing worn-out  or obsolete machinery
          and equipment utilized by  its subsidiaries.

          Dividend Policy

          No  cash dividends have been  declared by the  Company's Board of
          Directors since  the Company's inception.   The Company  does not
          contemplate  paying cash  dividends on  its common  stock in  the
          foreseeable  future since it intends  to utilize it  cash flow to
          invest in its businesses.

          Other Business Matters

          Inflation.   The Company does  not expect the  current effects of
          inflation to have any effect on its operations in the foreseeable
          future.    The  largest  single impact  effecting  the  Company's
          overall  operations  is the  general  state  of  the economy  and
          principally the home construction sector.

          ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          Unites  States  of America,  Plaintiff Vs  Commercial Technology,
          Inc.,  et.al.,Defendant in  the  United  States  District  Court,
          Northern   District  of  Texas.     Case  number  3-99-CV-2668-X.
          Plaintiff brought an  action to collect on  a defective judgement
          to force the  sale of an office building which  was acquired from
          the  defendant by  ELGT in 1987.   The  court has  ruled that the
          transaction the  Government relied upon to  enforce the judgement
          was not a debt and was therefore not entitled to relief under the
          Act; and that  they are not  entitled to a  judicial sale of  the
          property.   The  Government's  only further  action is  under the
          Texas  Fraudulent  Conveyance  Statutes  for which  there  is  no
          evidence to support  such findings.  Management believes ELGT has
          no  significant exposure  under this  action and  will vigorously
          defend its position.
