Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors and Audit Committee

Tankless Systems Worldwide, Inc.


We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheets of Tankless Systems Worldwide, Inc., as of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004 and the associated consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.   


We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, 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 interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


The accompanying balance sheets of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, consolidate the activity of the Company for all reported periods with the activity



11







of its subsidiary Envirotech from January 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005; its subsidiary ION from inception (January 2004) to March 31, 2005 and its subsidiary Valeo from inception (January 2005) to March 31, 2005.


Financial Instruments


The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued interest payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.  The carrying value of convertible debt approximates fair value as the related interest rate is variable and approximates market rates. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.


Research and Development


The Company expensed product research and development costs as they are incurred.  The Company had one product with variations in capacity based on the flow of electricity.  With the organization of its new subsidiary ION, the Company continues to expense research and development costs as incurred in developing additional products based on new technology.


Marketing Strategy


The Company sells directly to individuals through the Internet, through distributorships, and through high volume retailers.  The Company periodically advertises on cable television stations, trade shows and trade magazines and maintains an extensive website.


Revenue Recognition


The Company usually sells its units through credit card sales to individuals and normally does not maintain receivables.  However, the Company does sell on credit to distributors.  Credit card sales are recognized upon shipment of the product to the customer.  All shipments are FOB shipping point.  Sales to distributorships are sold FOB shipping point with 30-day terms on receivables.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable is recorded when an order is received from a distributor.  An allowance for doubtful accounts was set up based on the actual rate of uncollected accounts.  Net accounts receivable is as follows:

Advertising


Advertising expense included the cost of sales brochures, print advertising in trade publications, displays at trade shows and maintenance of an Internet site.  Advertising is expensed when incurred.  Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 is $813 and $9,368 respectively.


Inventory


The Company contracts with a third party to manufacture the units and is not billed for nor obligated for any work-in-process.  The Company only supplies certain parts and materials and is then billed for completed products.  Parts and material inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value.


Equipment


Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from two to seven years.  Fixed assets consist of the following:

Earnings per Share


The basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year.  


The Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding at the end of the statement periods.  Therefore, the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are presented on the face of the statement of operations.  All outstanding warrants were either exercised or cancelled and convertible debt is anti-dilutive.



13








Stock Based Compensation


The Company accounts for its stock based compensation based upon provisions in SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  In this statement stock based compensation is divided into two general categories, based upon who the stock receiver is, namely: employees/directors and non-employees/directors.  The employees/directors category is further divided based upon the particular stock issuance plan, namely compensatory and non-compensatory.  The employee/directors non-compensatory securities are recorded at the sales price when the stock is sold.  The compensatory stock is calculated and recorded at the securities’ fair value at the time the stock is given.  SFAS 123 also provides that stock compensation paid to non-employees be recorded with a value which is based upon the fair value of the services rendered or the value of the stock given, whichever is more reliable.  The common stock paid to non-employees was valued at the value of the services rendered.


Warranty and Right of Return


Upon the sale of a system, the Company gives a 30-day money back guarantee less a 6% restocking charge.  After the 30 days the Company gives an additional five years warranty on replacement of parts.  The tank chamber is warranted not to leak for 20 years.  



Note 2.

Note 5.

INCOME TAXES:



The Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  SFAS No. 109 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.


SFAS No. 109 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset.  Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded.  The total deferred tax asset is $735,555, as of 12/31/04, which is calculated by multiplying a 22% estimated tax rate by the cumulative NOL of $3,343,434.  The total valuation allowance is a comparable $735,555.

Note 7.

GOING CONCERN


Listed below are some of the challenges which the Company is facing, and why these raise a question as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Also described are management’s plans to turn the Company around.


Company’s Challenges


The Company has a substantial deficit in retained earnings from losses for the previous years.  Its subsidiary, Envirotech has not been able to generate enough sales to cover annual expenses and has survived only by raising funds.  The Company must continue to raise funds in the near future to survive. Management has been successful in the past in raising these funds.  There is no assurance that management can continue to find investors to cover the losses generated.


Management’s Plans


Management feels that the trends are encouraging because its subsidiary has increased sales each year of operation. Advertising will continue through the printed media, cable television and the Internet. As new homebuilders become aware of the product it will be included in original house plans.  Management has placed the unit in large retail stores which is driving much of the upward sales trend.


On February 1, 2004, the company initiated its management transition plan as a result of its acquisition of its subsidiary Envirotech.  The Company entered into several consulting agreements to assist in day-to-day operations and provide financial, management and other consulting services to the Company and its subsidiaries.  These persons will serve as part of the management team during the periods of their engagement and will perform a variety of services to include:


1.

The evaluation of potential business opportunities

2.

The business operations and management

3.

The development of business strategies

4.

Raising public and private capital


Pursuant to these agreements, the company has committed to issue 700,000 shares of common stock and has granted options to purchase an additional 600,000 restricted shares at a price of $0.50 per share at any time prior to February 1, 2009.  All stock issued or to be issued is subject to the limitations imposed by Rule 144.  Management believes these individuals and entities are crucial to the future of the Company and that the consideration paid for their services is fair and reasonable.



Note 8.

PENDING LITIGATION


The Company’s subsidiary Envirotech is currently a defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit.  Management feels that this action is baseless and that the Company will prevail.  No contingent liability has been recorded nor contemplated at this point.  Action has been stayed through Bankruptcy Petition.



19








In 2004 Envirotech was named in three separate lawsuits for unpaid legal and consulting fees totaling $268,000.  Envirotech believed it had meritorious defenses to each of these suits.  On April 14, 2004, Envirotech settled one of these suits, considering it a nuisance claim.  In connection with that settlement, Envirotech reimbursed the plaintiff for alleged out-of-pocket expenses and the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock, restricted under Rule 144, to the plaintiff on the basis of a loan from the Company to Envirotech.  In the other two suits Envirotech elected not to spend funds to defend the action and judgments were granted in the aggregate amount of approximately $155,500.  These judgments have been stayed through Bankruptcy Petition (see Note 9).  Any settlements of these suits will be reflected as a charge in the year of the settlement.  


On August 13, 2004, the Company filed a verified complaint in the United States District Court in and for the District of Arizona against certain key individuals who were principles of Envirotech prior to its acquisition.   The action alleged against various defendants, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Aiding and Abetting Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Breach of Contract, Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Fraud and Intentional Misrepresentation, Conspiracy to Defraud, Arizona Securities Fraud, Federal Securities Fraud, Negligent Misrepresentation, Misappropriation of Trade Secrets and Confidential Business Information, Conversion/Embezzlement, Intentional Interference with Business Relations and Prospective Economic Advantage, Unjust Enrichment, and Promissory Estoppel.  The Company sought relief, which included, but was not limited to, Damages, Constructive Trust, Rescission and Injunctive Relief.  This action has been settled with the return and cancellation of 2,075,000 shares of common stock and the agreement of the defendants to other conditions, including agreements not to compete for specified periods of time.



Note 9.

SUBSIDIARY BANKRUPTCY

On August 6, 2004, Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in Phoenix, Arizona.  Envirotech was acquired by the Company in November 2003 in a stock-for-stock, one-for-one transaction, and has been held and operated by the Registrant as an operating subsidiary.  With the exception of a guarantee to one critical supplier in the current amount of approximately $42,500, the Registrant has not assumed any liability for the obligations of Envirotech.  As of the date of the filing of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition, Envirotech had liabilities of approximately $1.6 million.  Several creditors not related to the supply of parts or the assembly of products have obtained judgments against Envirotech and an action was pending in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, alleging patent infringement.  The filing of the Bankruptcy Petition has stayed all creditors and suits.


Note  10.

THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards SFAS 146-150 and their effect on the Company.


Statement No. 150

Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (Issued 5/03)



20








This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.


Statement No. 151

Inventory Costs-an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (Issued 11/04)


This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage).  Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “…under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight and re-handling costs may be so abnormal ass to require treatment as current period charges….” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.”  In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.


Statement No. 152

Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67)


This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.


This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, states that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions.  The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2.


Statement No. 153

Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets (an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29)


The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged.  The guidance in that Opinion, however, includes certain exceptions to the principle.  This Statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assts and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.


The adoption of these new Statements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results or operations, or cash flows.  




21








Note  10.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On December 24, 2004 the Company issued 2,250,000 shares of common stock for $112,500 subscription receivable in anticipation of executing various consulting agreements.  These shares are reported in the financial statements as stock subscribed.  However, the anticipated agreements have not yet been executed therefore the conditions that give rise to their issuance have not been satisfied.  The Company does not consider these shares to be owned by the certificate holders.


The Company’s transfer agent (First American Stock Transfer, Inc.) confirms a hold notification on the subject shares and that no transfers have been made or attempted with respect to these certificates.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.


The following  Discussion and Analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the financial statements and notes included in this Form 10-QSB and the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.


(a)

Plan of Operation.


Tankless Systems Worldwide, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Tankless”), was originally organized on November 23, 1993 as Amexan, Inc.; the name was changed on June 1, 1998 to Nostalgia Motorcars, Inc. (“Nostalgia”), to Elution Technologies, Inc., on June 11, 2002, and changed again on June 4, 2003, to Tankless Systems Worldwide, Inc.  


Tankless has three subsidiary corporations.  On November 7, 2003, the Company acquired Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc. (Envirotech), a private Arizona corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary.  In January 2004, it formed ION Tankless, Inc.(ION), an Arizona corporation, to do research, development and marketing of new tankless heating technologies.  In January, 2005, it created Valeo Industries, Inc. (Valeo), a Nevada corporation, to license ION technologies and to manufacture and distribute products using those technologies.  Except as otherwise specified, all references herein to the "Company" refer to Tankless and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Envirotech, ION and Valeo.  The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.  


The Company is in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing several models of an electronic, tankless water heater.  The water heater is small, easy to install and supplies endless amounts of hot water with energy savings.  The unit is a microprocessor controlled electric water heater contained in a compact unit, eliminating the space demands of conventional water heaters.  It incorporates automatic, precise temperature controls.  It saves energy, space, and water and is suitable to all areas of the U.S. and worldwide.


On November 7, 2003, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc., a private Arizona corporation (“Envirotech”) in exchange for an equal number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Envirotech Agreement”).   As of the close of business on November 7, 2003, Tankless issued 8,366,778 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value, in a one-for-one stock exchange.  Subsequently, 2,075,000 of these shares were returned to Tankless by the former principal officers and directors of Envirotech and cancelled by Tankless.  Envirotech is held and operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tankless.  


Envirotech was organized December 9, 1998 and has a limited history of operations.  The initial period of its existence involved research and development of a line of electronic, tankless water heaters.  The first sales of its products occurred in calendar year 2000.  Audited financial statements for Envirotech at the date of acquisition, November 7, 2003, and the period then ending, indicate cumulative losses of $4,043,572, $489,658 of which is attributable to a repurchase of a distributorship in a major market where Envirotech believed the distributor was not performing well as the market would justify.   


Proprietary rights to the design of the electronic tankless water heater were Envirotech’s principal assets.  Envirotech was granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its Modular Tankless Electronic Water Heater (ETWH) (Patent No. US 6,389,226 B1).  A competitor, however, brought the value of that patent, into question with the filing of a patent infringement lawsuit.  In 2002, Envirotech was named as a defendant in a patent infringement suit alleging that Envirotech’s product infringed upon a patent owned by David Seitz and Microtherm, Inc.  Mr. Seitz and Microtherm filed the



23







suit in the United Stated District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Houston suit”).  Management believed, and continues to believe, that the products manufactured and distributed by Envirotech did not infringe on the patents of others and that it would prevail on the merits.  However, Envirotech’s counsel withdrew and due to a lack of funds, Envirotech was unable to obtain new counsel.  The Court ordered Envirotech to appear with new counsel by August 9, 2004 or default would be entered against it.  No contingency has been recorded with regard to this matter.


In order to avoid an entry of default in the Houston suit, which would have found that Envirotech’s product infringed upon the patents of the plaintiffs, and because several creditors not related to the supply of parts or the assembly of products had obtained judgments against Envirotech, on August 6, 2004, Envirotech filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona.  The Houston suit and the other litigation arose out of decisions made and actions taken by Envirotech’s management prior to its acquisition by Tankless.


As of the date of filing of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition, Envirotech had liabilities of approximately $1.6 million.  With the exception of a guarantee to one critical supplier in the amount of approximately $42,500, Tankless has not assumed any liability for the obligations of Envirotech.  The filing of the Bankruptcy Petition has stayed all creditors and suits.  The Company has subsequently filed a Plan of Reorganization, which initially failed to achieve the requisite approval of creditors, and the outcome of that proposal is contingent upon several hearings that have been scheduled over the next few weeks.  


The Company has no way of predicting whether Envirotech’s Plan of Reorganization will be accepted by the creditors or approved by the Court but Tankless has concluded that the success of the Company is not contingent upon the survival of Envirotech.  The filing of the bankruptcy petition by Envirotech did not adversely affect the ongoing operations of the Company or its research and development subsidiary, ION Tankless, Inc. However, because of the patent infringement challenge and other uncertainties associated with its Bankruptcy, Envirotech will shortly discontinue production of all models of the ESI-2000 tankless water heater previously manufactured by it.


In January 2004, Tankless formed a wholly-owned, non-operating subsidiary, ION Tankless, Inc., through which it has since conducted research and development on alternative heating technologies and products.  Tankless has invested heavily in a concerted R & D program to develop new and innovative methods of heating water which has resulted in the filing of applications for several patents involving dozens of claims for inventions.  As a result of a year-long research and development program, new products have been developed and are ready for licensing and production.  This technology is considered state of the art and is expected to set the standard for the future of the tankless water heater industry.  ION holds all patents and intellectual property of the Company arising out of this research and development program and expects to license such property to an affiliated entity for manufacturing and distribution.  


Valeo was organized by Tankless in January 2005 as a wholly-owned operating subsidiary.  Valeo will license technology from ION and manufacture, market and distribute several lines of water heating products.  Valeo will soon begin production and distribution of two new product lines that incorporate innovative technology not previously used in the water heating market.  These new products, based on proprietary technology, are expected to serve as the foundation for the future growth of the Company.  


During 2004, the Company sold $1,075,000 principal amount of 10% senior notes due one year from date of issue and 537,500 shares of common stock in private placements.  We used the net proceeds from the offerings to pursue research and development of new produces, proceed with marketing, manufacturing and sales of existing products through Envirotech; hire additional personnel and engage consultants as needed; and for general working

Tankless currently has 13,317,977 shares issued and outstanding.  The shares of common stock of Tankless are traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers’ (NASD) Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the ticker symbol TSYW.  


As of May 23, 2005, the business office of the Company was located at 7650 E. Evans Rd., Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona  85260.  Envirotech leases these offices pursuant to an amended lease agreement that expires on June 30, 2006.   Prior to removal of the offices of the Company to the above location, the Company occupied space at 2920 E. Camelback Rd., Suite 150, Phoenix, Arizona  85016.  These offices were leased by an unrelated party, subleased to Messrs. Thomas and David Kreitzer and made available by them to the Company on a month-by-month basis at no cost.   The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31.  At March 31, 2005, the Company had two part time employees (Thomas Kreitzer and David Kreitzer) both of whom served at nominal compensation and Valeo, its subsidiary, had four full-time employees.  The Company anticipates adding several full time employees in the near future in management and for administrative and technical support.

 (b)   Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of March 31, 2005 the Company had established source of revenue from sales of water heater units.  Nonetheless, it has a negative working capital of $3,024,547 and has accumulated losses of $3,700,489.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

PART II



ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


The Registrant is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by a law firm that formerly represented the Registrant.  The suit claims legal fees owed in the amount of approximately $7,500.  The Company disputes this claim and expects to prevail in the matter.


Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc. (“Envirotech”), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Prior to the acquisition of Envirotech, by the Company, Envirotech was the defendant in a lawsuit filed by a former distributor alleging a breach of a Distributor Agreement entered into with Envirotech in May, 1998.  On August 13, 2003, Envirotech entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release pursuant to which Envirotech agreed to pay the distributor the sum of $520,500 in installments over a period of ten years.  The obligations under this Settlement Agreement are secured by a Security Agreement covering all assets of Envirotech except its intellectual properties, as defined therein, subordinated, however, to a first lien on such assets granted to the law firm of Jennings, Strouss & Salmon in 2001 and 2002 by Envirotech to secure two promissory notes given in satisfaction of legal fees.  As part of the settlement, Envirotech granted the distributor a Stipulated Judgment that was not to be filed of record so long as no default existed.  On April 14, 2004, the distributor claimed a breach and filed the Stipulated Judgment.  Management believes no default existed to warrant the filing of the judgment.  Nonetheless, the filing of that judgment was a material consideration to the filing of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition discussed below.


Envirotech is also the defendant in a suit filed in 2002 in the U.S. District Court, for the Southern District of Texas, Houston, Texas (Civil Action No. H-02-4782, David Seitz and Microtherm, Inc., vs. Envirotech Systems Worldwide, Inc., and Envirotech of Texas, Inc.  The Company is not affiliated with Envirotech of Texas, Inc.  The suit alleges that Envirotech has infringed on the patent rights of others and seeks damages and an order to cease and desist.  Envirotech engaged legal counsel to represent it in this matter.  Management believes the suit is without merit and that Envirotech will prevail in the matter.  In 2004 Envirotech’s counsel withdrew and due to a lack of funds, Envirotech was unable to obtain new counsel.  The Court ordered Envirotech to appear with new counsel by August 9, 2004 or default would be entered against it.  In order to avoid an entry of default, which would have found that Envirotech’s product infringed upon the patent of Mr. Seitz and Microtherm, Envirotech filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona, on August 6, 2004 (discussed below).  The obligations of Envirotech in this matter remain the sole liability of Envirotech and the parent company, Tankless, has not assumed any portion of such obligations.  The filing of the petition with the Bankruptcy Court stayed all existing litigation, judgments and efforts to collect on judgments entered against Envirotech.   


In 2004 Envirotech was named in three separate lawsuits for unpaid legal and consulting fees totaling $268,000.  Envirotech believed it had meritorious defenses to each of these suits.  On April 14, 2004, Envirotech settled one of these suits, considering it a nuisance claim.  In connection with that settlement, Envirotech reimbursed the plaintiff for alleged out-of-pocket expenses and the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock, restricted under Rule 144, to the plaintiff on the basis of a loan from the Company to Envirotech.  In the other two suits Envirotech elected not to spend funds to defend the action and judgments were granted in the aggregate amount of approximately $155,500.  These judgments have been stayed through Bankruptcy Petition.   


On August 6, 2004, Envirotech filed a Voluntary Petition for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in Phoenix, Arizona.  The filing of this Petition with the Bankruptcy Court has stayed all existing litigation, judgments and efforts to collect on the judgments.  Envirotech was acquired by the Company in November 2003 in a stock-for-stock transaction and has been held and

operated by the Company as an operating subsidiary. With the exception of a guarantee to one critical supplier in the current amount of approximately $42,500, the Company has not assumed any liability for the obligations of Envirotech.  As of the date of the filing of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition, Envirotech had liabilities of approximately $1.6 million.  Several creditors, not related to the supply of parts or the assembly of products, have obtained judgments against Envirotech and an action was pending in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, alleging patent infringement.  All claims of creditors, including the above-mentioned judgments, and efforts to collect same, together with the litigation pending in the U.S. District Court in Houston, have been stayed during the pendency of the Bankruptcy proceedings.  Envirotech filed a Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement in December 2003 and the outcome of that plan is inconclusive as of the date of this filing.  The Plan did not receive the required creditor approval and further hearings have been scheduled to address the matter.


On August 13, 2004, Tankless filed a verified complaint in the United States District Court in and for the District of Arizona against three former officers, directors and principal shareholders of Envirotech, and Ronald Jay Edwin, a/k/a Ryan Edelstein, and others.  The suit alleged, against various defendants, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Aiding and Abetting Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Breach of Contract, Breach of Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing, Fraud and Intentional Misrepresentation, Conspiracy to Defraud, Arizona Securities Fraud, Federal Securities Fraud, Negligent Misrepresentation, Misappropriation of Trade Secrets and Confidential Business Information, Conversion/Embezzlement, Intentional Interference with Business Relations and Prospective Economic Advantage, Unjust Enrichment, and Promissory Estoppel.  The Company sought various forms of relief including, but not limited to, Damages, Constructive Trust, Rescission and Injunctive Relief.  A copy of this Complaint is available upon request made to the Company.  Subsequently, the suit was voluntarily dismissed by the Company to facilitate settlement negotiations with each of the defendant parties.  A settlement has been signed with Ronald J. Edwin the terms of which include, among other things, a permanent injunction against Mr. Edwin for the actions alleged.  Settlements with each of the remaining defendants were achieved in the fourth quarter of 2004, resulting in the return and cancellation of 2,075,000 shares of common stock of the Company that had been issued in connection with the acquisition of Envirotech.  In addition, all three defendants entered into non-compete agreements with the Company and agreed to various other terms sought by the Company.  In connection with one of the settlements where the defendant returned a substantial block of his shares, the defendant was granted an option by the Company to acquire up to 100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.55, for a period of one year.  The option expires December 31, 2005.


Except as noted above, to the best knowledge of the officers and directors of the Company, neither the Registrant nor its subsidiaries, nor any of their respective officers or directors is a party to any material legal proceeding or litigation.
