1.   GOING CONCERN

     Ionic Fuel Technology, Inc. ("Company") has incurred recurring operating
     losses, and its operations have not produced positive cash flow. As such,
     this condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
     continue as a going concern.

     During the past year, the principal use of the Company's cash has been to
     fund its operating losses and to bring its new products and services to
     market. The Company has been utilizing approximately $75,000 per month to
     fund operations. The Company is presently considering attempting to raise
     additional capital to fund operations. If additional capital is not secured
     within the next few months, it may be necessary to substantially curtail or
     cease operations.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
     Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
     information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
     all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
     necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
     the three month period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30,
     2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
     statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
     Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2000.

3.   CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of
     three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

4.   INVENTORY

     Inventory is comprised of the following:

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




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999

         Total revenues increased to approximately $216,000 during the three
month period ended September 30, 2000 from approximately $124,000 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1999.

         The increase of approximately $92,000 in revenues related principally
to the introduction of engineering consulting services which generated new
revenues for the company.

         Gross profit increased to a loss of approximately $(9,000) during the
three months ended September 30, 2000 (loss of $72,000 in 1999) due to the
contribution to gross margins from new engineering consulting revenues.

         General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $194,000
during the three month period ended September 30, 2000 from approximately
$182,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1999.

         The increase of approximately $12,000 in general and administrative
expenses related to an increase in stock market related costs.

         Sales and marketing expenses decreased to approximately $46,000 during
the three month period ended September 30, 2000 from approximately $78,000 for
the three month period ended September 30, 1999. The decrease of approximately
$32,000 was due to reductions in staff and promotional costs.

         Other expense (net) decreased to approximately $(6,000) during the
three months ended September 30, 2000 from approximately $(10,000) of net
expense during the same period in 1999, due to a decrease in royalty interest
paid.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

         Net cash used by operations was approximately $319,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and approximately $233,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. Cash was utilized in all departments, i.e. sales,
marketing, and administration in the United Kingdom and Europe. Working capital
was approximately $8,000 at September 30, 2000 and approximately $(8,000) at
June 30, 2000. Working capital has been utilized to fund operations.

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



CURRENCY FLUCTUATION

         Currency fluctuations were insignificant to the Company's operations
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The Company operates in
the United States and United Kingdom (Pound Sterling); sales and rentals may
also be denominated in other currencies, such as French Franc, the Belgian
Franc, the Dutch Guilder and the German Mark. Changes in the exchange rates of
currencies could affect the Company's operations and cash flows. Currently, the
Company does not enter into any derivative contracts to hedge these risks.

         However, the principal revenues are generated in sterling which for the
3 months ended September 30, 2000 have been translated to dollars at a rate of
$1.5/(pound)1. For the same period last year the conversion rate was
$1.6/(pound)1. The fluctuation in the exchange rate should be considered when
comparing the revenue for each period.

INFLATION

         Inflation has not had a significant impact on the results of the
Company's operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.
