Note 3. Loans from Shareholders
An officer and director of the Company, together with another shareholder of the
Company, lent an aggregate of $CDN200,000 (representing $129,400 at the exchange
rate of $0.647 at such date) to the Company on October 21, 1998. Another officer
and director and another shareholder each lent $CDN100,000 (representing $65,490
and $66,620 at the exchange rate of $0.6549 and $0.6662 at the date of their
respective loans) to the Company on January 4, 1999 and April 9, 1999,
respectively. All of these loans are repayable two years from the date of the
loan, bear interest at 10% per annum and are collateralized by a lien upon and
security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets. As an inducement
to advance these sums to the Company, the lenders were granted detachable
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 common shares of the Company at an
initial exercise price of $0.50 through October 31, 2000, increasing to $0.75
thereafter through October 31, 2002 and to $1.00 thereafter through October 31,
2003, respectively. The warrants, whose initial exercise price was greater than
the market price of the Company's common shares on the date such warrants were
-6-
<PAGE>
granted, expire on the earlier of October 31, 2003 or 30 days after the
Company's shares have closed at a price per share above $1.50 for 10 consecutive
trading days on the NASDAQ over-the-counter Bulletin Board. In accordance with
APB 14, a portion of the proceeds of the debt securities issued with detachable
stock purchase warrants, which is allocated as the fair-value of the warrants,
has been accounted for as paid-in capital. The related discount on the debt
securities will be amortized over the remaining period to maturity.
Subsequent to the year-end, on July 10, 2000, officers, directors and
shareholders agreed to extend the maturity dates of their respective loans by an
additional year. Accordingly, the due dates are October 21, 2001, January 4,
2002 and April 9, 2002. As a result of the extended maturity dates, the loans
are classified as non-current liabilities in the accompanying financial
statements. As an inducement to extend the maturity dates of the loans, the
Company has modified the exercise price of the above warrants as follows: for
three years after the initial date of the respective loan at an exercise price
of $0.50 per share, for a period of two years following the initial three year
period at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and for an additional period of
one year at an exercise price of $1.00. Additionally, a further 400,000 warrants
were granted in the aggregate to the lenders, at an exercise price of $0.5625
per share, commencing on the first day of the extension of their loan for a
period of two years. The expiry terms and periods of the warrants have been
modified to state the warrants expire 90 days after the Company has notified the
warrant holders in writing that the Company's shares have closed at a trading
price above $1.50 for 30 consecutive trading days on the NASDAQ over-the-counter
Bulletin Board.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation
Three Months ended September 30, 2000
Compared with Three Months ended September 30, 1999
Nozzle systems revenue decreased by $184,678 (27.1%) to $496,898 for the three
month period ended September 30, 2000 from $681,576 for the same period in 1999.
The supply of fewer cooling towers in evaporative gas cooling systems is
primarily responsible for the decrease in nozzle system revenues.
Scrubber system revenue increased by $937,916 (271.6%) to $1,283,304 for the
three month period ended September 30, 2000 from $345,388 for the same period
one year earlier. An increase in the number of scrubber/WESP projects being
processed has led to the increased revenue recorded for the period. The increase
in scrubber system revenues is primarily due to the recognition during this
period of a portion of the revenue from the $6.5 million sales of a Wet
Electrostatic Precipitator, the Company's largest sale to date.
Cost of nozzle systems decreased by $216,720 (45.3%) to $261,405 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 from $478,125 for the same period in 1999. As a
percentage of nozzle systems revenue, the cost of nozzle systems was 52.6% for
the three month period ended September 30, 2000 and 70.2% for the same period in
1999. The decreased nozzle system costs is the result of the decreased sales
volume discussed above. The improved ratio to sales variance in the current
quarter over that of last year is the result of the sale of fewer cooling towers
in this period, which typically produce lower margins than other components of
the evaporative gas cooling system.
Cost of scrubber systems increased by $902,527 (396.9%) to $1,129,942 for the
three month period ended September 30, 2000 from $227,415 for the same period
one year earlier. As a percentage of scrubber systems revenue, the cost of
scrubber systems was 88.1% versus 65.8% for the same period in 1999. The
increased scrubber system costs is the result of the increased sales volume
discussed above. The increased percent to sales is the result of favourable
variances in 1999 on a number of completed scrubber projects, not duplicated in
2000, together with lower margins on the larger projects in progress in the
current fiscal period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $8,420 (2.5%) to $329,093
for the three month period ended September 30, 2000 from $337,513 for the same
period in 1999. As a percentage of total revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses were 18.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and
32.9% for the same period in 1999. This decrease in percent to revenue is the
direct result of the increased volume of revenue for the current period.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had a negative cash flow from operating activities of $149,646 for
the three month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to positive cash
flow of $13,858 for the same period in 1999, an decrease in cash flow of
$163,504.
At September 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $657,596, as compared
to working capital as at June 30, 2000 of $631,559, an increase of $26,037. The
company's current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 1.36
and 1.40 as at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively.
The Company's contracts typically provide for progress payments based upon the
achievement of performance milestones or the passage of time. The Company's
contracts often provide for the Company's customers to retain a portion of the
contract price until the achievement of performance guarantees has been
demonstrated. The Company attempts to have its progress billings exceed its
costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts; however, it is possible,
at any point in time, that costs and estimated earnings can exceed progress
billings on uncompleted contracts, which would negatively impact cash flow and
working capital. At September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000, "Billings in excess of
costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts" exceeded "Deferred
contract costs and unbilled revenue" by $303,134 and $150,335 respectively,
thereby negatively affecting working capital.
The Company's backlog as at September 30, 2000 was approximately $6,500,000, of
which the Company believes all will be shipped prior to the end of the current
fiscal year. The Company believes that the projected cash generated from
operations, together with the loans from shareholders (see Note 3) will be
sufficient to meet its cash needs through the end of the fiscal year ended June
30, 2001.
Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risk
----------------------------------------------------------
The Company does not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and
does not purchase hedging instruments or "other than trading" instruments that
are likely to expose the Company to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign
currency exchange, commodity price or equity prices risk. The Company has
purchased no options and entered into no swaps. The Company has no bank
borrowing facility which could subject it to the risk of interest rate
fluctuations.
