The number of shares outstanding of the registrant's common stock as of March 20, 2001 was 2,933,291. Transitional Small Business Disclosure Format Yes __ No X 1 2 PART I Item 1. Business MPM Technologies, Inc. ("MPM" or "the Company") has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Huntington Environmental Systems, Inc. ("HES"), AirPol, Inc. ("AirPol"), Nupower, Inc. ("Nupower") and MPM Mining ("Mining"). MPM was incorporated in 1983. For the year ended December 31, 2000, HES and AirPol were the only revenue generating entities. HES and AirPol operate in the air pollution control industry. They sell air pollution control systems to Fortune 500 and other large industrial companies. MPM continues its efforts in the development of a waste-to-energy process known as "Skygas". These efforts are largely through MPM's participation in Nupower Partnership in which MPM has a 58.21% interest through its ownership of Nupower. Mining operations have been discontinued at the direction of MPM's board of directors and will be sold. HUNTINGTON ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC. Effective April 1, 1997, MPM acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of part of a division of United States Filter Corporation in exchange for 146,666 shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. In connection with the acquisition, MPM formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, HES, which assumed the assets and liabilities acquired. HES designs, engineers, supplies, and services high temperature and chemical air pollution control systems for Fortune 500 and other environmental and industrial companies around the world. HES has been in the business for over 25 years, and has over 300 installations worldwide. HES's engineering staff is uniquely prepared to address the full scope of customers' process problems. HES's policy of handling clients' individual concerns includes in-depth analysis and evaluation, followed by complete engineering and design services leading to application-specific engineered solutions. HES was the first acquisition in MPM's revised plans to change its focus and direction toward environmental concerns generally, and pollution issues specifically. AIRPOL, INC. Effective July 1, 1998, the Company acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of part of a division of FLS miljo, Inc. The agreement called for the Company to pay $300,000 stock and $234,610 in cash. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. AirPol, like HES, designs, engineers, supplies and services air pollution control systems for Fortune 500 and other environmental and industrial companies. The technologies used by AirPol differ from those used by HES, and the companies are in no way competitors. On certain specific applications, they may complement each other in that a customer may require both types of pollution control systems. The technologies of AirPol utilize wet and dry scrubbers, wet electrostatic precipitators and venturi absorbers to control air pollution. AirPol brings over 30 years experience to MPM through its technologies and employees. 2 3 NUPOWER, INC. The Company holds a 58.21% interest in Nupower Partnership through its ownership of Nupower. No other operations were conducted through Nupower. Nupower Partnership is engaged in the development and commercialization of a waste-to-energy process. This is an innovative technology for the disposal and gasification of carbonaceous wastes such as municipal solid waste, municipal sewage sludge, pulp and paper mill sludge, auto fluff, medical waste and used tires. The process converts solid and semi-solid wastes into a clean-burning medium BTU gas that can be used for steam production for electric power generation. The gas may also be a useful building block for downstream conversion into valuable chemicals. Nupower Partnership owns 85% of the Skygas Venture. MPM separately owns 15% of the Venture. MPM MINING, INC. Mining controls 32 claims on approximately 1,000 acres in the historical Emery Mining District in Montana. It also owns a 200 ton per day floatation mill on site. Extensive exploration has been conducted in the area by companies such as Exxon Corporation, Freeport McMoran Gold Company and Hecla Mining Company in addition to the efforts of Mining. In accordance with the Board of Director's mandates in 1998, MPM's management is actively seeking out mining companies and other businesses to purchase its mining properties and equipment. FACTORS MANAGEMENT USED TO IDENTIFY REPORTABLE SEGMENTS MPM's reportable segments are business units that offer different products. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they design and engineer distinct products with different applications in the air pollution control field. MPM's other segments are essentially non-operational at the present time, and, accordingly have been aggregated for reporting purposes. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company operated in two segments. Data for segment reporting is shown in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 7. BACKLOG MPM had a backlog of orders and work in progress aggregating approximately $13,198,000 at December 31, 2000. This is comprised of approximately $8,752,000 at AirPol and approximately $4,446,000 at HES. It is anticipated that operations will consume these backorders during 2001. There is currently no other backlog of orders for any of MPM's other businesses. Backlog at December 31, 1999 was approximately $5,000,000. WASTE-TO-ENERGY MPM's waste-to-energy process consists of an innovative technology known as "Skygas". The process is used in the disposal and gasification of various forms of non-metallic wastes. MPM continues to negotiate with interested entities for the manufacture and operation of Skygas units. These negotiations are ongoing, and MPM management is hopeful that there will be formal agreements in place some time during 2001. 3 4 COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS Both HES and AirPol operate in extremely competitive environments. There are a number of potential competitors for every job the companies bid on. The number of bidders ranges from two or three to as many as seven or eight depending on the potential customer and the work to be performed. The parts and service side of the business tends to be somewhat less competitive since the parts and service work are generally for units that have previously been sold and/or installed by the companies. There are a significant number of persons and companies developing or that have developed any number of waste-to-energy systems. Management of MPM believes that its development of Skygas as a non-polluting and energy efficient system will give it the necessary competitive edge in this area. Due to the large number of persons and companies engaged in exploration for and production of mineralized material, there is a great degree of competition in the mining part of the business. Since management has decided to sell its mining holdings and equipment, it will no longer need to compete in this area. SEASONAL VARIATIONS The impact of seasonal changes is minimal on the air pollution control businesses of HES and AirPol. There may be some limitations on the installation of the air pollution control units when the weather is more severe in the winter months in those areas of the world where the weather is significantly colder in that season. There have been, however, no discernible variations to date to indicate that the business is subject to seasonal variations. There are currently no seasonal influences on the ongoing development of the Skygas process. It is also not expected that there will be any seasonal variations when the Skygas units are produced. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 2000, MPM employed fourteen full-time employees at HES, and fourteen full-time employees at AirPol. MPM believe that its relations with its employees are good. Item 2. Properties HES presently owns no property related to its air pollution control business. It leases its office space under a lease expiring in September of 2003, with an option for an additional five years. AirPol leases its office space under a sublease that expires in August of 2002. MPM has no property related to its waste-to-energy operations. MPM believes that its existing facilities are adequate for the current level of operations. The principal properties of MPM's mining interests consist of the following claims under control: Owned by MPM: Eight Patented Claims Sixteen Unpatented Claims 4 5 Leased by MPM: Eight Patented Claims These claims amount to approximately 1,000 acres of land in Montana. MPM controls eighteen former mine sites that have been inactive since 1930. Each of these has old adits, tunnels and dump piles of known mineralized material. All testing and metallurgical work has been completed. Management has directed MPM to sell these interests as previously discussed. Item 3. Legal Proceedings None Item 4.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations In addition to reading this section, you should read the consolidated financial statements that begin on page F-1. That section contains all detailed financial information including our results of operations. a) Results of Operations MPM acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of a part of a division of FLS miljo, Inc. as of July 1, 1998. MPM formed AirPol to run this air pollution control business. As of April 1, 1997, MPM acquired certain of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of a portion of a division of United States Filter Corporation, and formed HES to operate this air pollution control business. The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 include the operations of HES and AirPol for the entire years. For the year ended December 31, 2000, MPM had consolidated revenues of $13,900,545. Consolidated revenues for 1999 were $19,414,593. For 2000 and 1999, MPM included all assets related to its mining and related properties as being held for sale pursuant to the directive of the Board of Directors that the properties should be sold. For more information regarding these matters, see the financial statements included as Item 7 in this filing. During 2000, HES management was reorganized, and there were personnel reductions and other cost saving changes. Going into 2001, emphasis is being placed on combining the resources of HES and AirPol to realize additional cost savings. Management of HES believes that the current climate for its products is extremely strong. The recent Supreme Court ruling against businesses that were trying to tie costs of compliance to enforcement has only served to intensify the need for air pollution control equipment. While it is unclear how that ruling and future enforcement by the Environmental Protection Agency will impact the industry, it is evident that there is a great deal of activity and interest. Requests for quotations are at unprecedented levels both for firm quotations and for budget quotations. Firm quotations are requests to quote on projects that the customer is currently planning to implement, and budget quotations are for customers who are in the process of doing their capital budgeting, and may be planning to include an HES unit, upgrade or service. HES management is anticipating improvements in all areas during 2001. The goal is to produce at least $1,000,000 in orders booked each month. Sales for 2001 are projected to be in excess of $12,000,000 which 6 7 would be a 25% increase over 2000. This projection is based on the 2000 year end backlog, and on the levels of sales activity that are currently being experienced. These increased levels of activity are attributed to the heightened awareness of EPA legislation due to the Supreme Court decision, and to efforts by HES personnel to increase market share. AirPol's sales performance for 2000 was disappointing due largely to the postponement of some air quality legislation enforcement. AirPol management is optimistic for the year 2001 because the air quality legislation enforcement that was postponed will now impact significantly the level of sales activity in the current year. This is being reflected currently in the increased levels of activity for both firm quotations and budget quotations. AirPol has also bolstered its sales force with a key strategic addition. In December 2000 the United States Environmental Protection Agency promulgated the long delayed "Pulp and Paper Cluster Rules" based on the Clean Air Act II legislation. There are 153 pulp and paper mills in the U.S. that will be affected by the new rules. These mills will have to either upgrade or retrofit new air pollution control equipment. AirPol has been a supplier of air pollution control equipment in the pulp and paper industry for over 30 years. It has over 400 equipment installations in pulp and paper mills and is anticipating that many orders will come from customers who already have AirPol equipment in place. Many of these customers will be looking to upgrade the old equipment to meet the new emission standards. Management expects to get approximately 40 upgrade/retrofit projects over the next two years aggregating about $10 million in sales for this market segment. The Maximum Achievable Control Technology ("MACT") Rules for Hazardous Waste Incinerators ("HWI") was promulgated in October 1999. Facilities classified as HWI have until April 2003 to prove they are in compliance with the new emission standards. There are approximately 130 of these facilities in the U.S. Many of these facilities will need to purchase air pollution control equipment during 2001 to meet the 2003 deadline. Management anticipates AirPol will get ten or more of these types of projects in 2001 and 2002 with an aggregate sales value of $10 million. The EPA promulgated the MACT Rules for small municipal solid waste incinerators and Commercial Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators in December 2000. Over 50 facilities are affected by these rules. To meet the April 2003 compliance deadline, these facilities will need to start purchasing activities from mid 2001 to early 2002. Over the next 18 months, AirPol expects to have sales in this market segment of $7 to $10 million. These activities and other sales are expected to result in total sales for AirPol for 2001 of $12,000,000. Combined with HES's anticipated sales of $12,000,000, MPM's consolidated revenues for 2001 are expected to be $24,000,000. This should translate to a $3 to $4 million net profit in 2001. During the fourth quarter 2000, MPM announced a proposed transaction with ST2EP, LLC. In December, the Company announced that it was working with its advisors to restructure the proposed transaction. On January 30, the Company reiterated that negotiations were ongoing to restructure the transaction. These negotiations continue at present and are expected to conclude in the second quarter 2001. At December 31, 2000, MPM had deferred tax assets of approximately $3,000,000, and has provided a valuation allowance in an equal amount since, in the opinion of management, it cannot be determined that it is more likely than not that MPM will realize the benefits of the assets. 7 8 2000 COMPARED TO 1999 Revenues decreased $5,514,048, or 28.4%, from $19,414,593 in 1999 to $13,900,545 in 2000. This was due to significantly lower sales at AirPol because of the postponement of enforcement of clean air legislation. The net loss for 2000 was $1,164,996, or $0.43 per share, compared to $945,406, or $0.41 per share for 1999. MPM's gross margin for 2000 decreased $1,133,016 to $2,653,710. This was a 29.9% decrease from 1999's gross margin of $3,786,726. This was due largely to revenue decreases at AirPol. MPM's gross margin percentage decreased 0.5% from 19.5% in 1999 to 19% in 2000. This was due to aggressively pursuing jobs with lower margins to improve cash flow. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $641,260, or 14.7%, from $4,358,529 in 1999 to $3,717,269 in 2000. This was due to costs cuts associated with the reorganization, and staff reductions. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During 2000, funds for operations were provided principally by cash generated by the continuing operations of HES and AirPol, a capital contribution by a director (through the conversion of debt) and short-term loans by a director. Current cash reserves and continuing operations of HES and AirPol are believed to be adequate to fund MPM's and its subsidiaries operations for the foreseeable future. MPM is also considering alternative sources of capital such as private placements, stock offerings and loans from shareholders and officers to fund its current business and expand in other related areas through more acquisitions. Following is a summary from MPM's consolidated statements of cash flows:
Year ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 ---------- ---------- Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 381,554 ($2,714,535) Net cash used in investing activities (16,062) (56,254) Net cash provided by financing activities 14,083 330,618 Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 379,575 (2,440,171)
The net cash provided by operating activities in 2000 of $381,554 was due primarily to decreases in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. This was due mainly to the decreased activity level at AirPol. The net cash used in operating activities in 1999 of $2,714,535 was due primarily to decreases in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on contracts in progress, and increases in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. This was due to a decrease in orders booked in the fourth quarter, the cancellation of a significant contract at HES, and decreased levels of activity in the fourth quarter. The net cash used in investing activities of $16,062 and $56,254 in 2000 and 1999, respectively, was entirely 8 9 due to acquisitions of property and equipment. The net cash provided by financing activities in 2000 of $14,083 was due primarily to cash generated from the issuance of stock through the exercise of options. The net cash provided by financing activities in 1999 of $330,618 was due primarily to the capital infusion from an officer/director of $1,100,000 net of repayment of prior proceeds raised of approximately $760,000. In 1998, the net cash provided by financing activities was due to approximately $760,000 received from a preferred stock subscription which partly offset offering costs related to the preferred stock subscription, by repayments of debt and the repurchase of MPM's common stock. MPM completed its private offering of preferred stock in early 1999. Net proceeds raised were $975,000. Prior to the issuance of the preferred shares, the agreement was rescinded and MPM refunded the monies advanced. Management believes its present sources of working capital are sufficient for both its short and long-term purposes. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted in all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Statement requires companies to recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized as income in the period of change. Based on its current and planned future activities relative to derivative instruments, MPM believes that the adoption of the Statement on January 1, 2001 will not have a significant effect on its financial statements. IMPACT OF INFLATION Although inflation has slowed in recent years, it is still a factor in our economy and MPM continually seeks ways to mitigate its impact. To the extent permitted by competition, HES and AirPol pass increased costs on to their customers by increasing prices over time. Management estimates that the impact of inflation on the revenues for 2000 was negligible. Since MPM did not engage in any mining operations, sales of metals or metal bearing ores, and was in the development stage of the waste-to-energy process, inflation did not materially impact the financial performance of those segments of the MPM's business. Management estimates that the operations of MPM were only nominally impacted by inflation. SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 Forward-looking statements in this report, including without limitation, statements relating to MPM's plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995.

See accompanying summary of accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements. F-7 20 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES OPERATIONS, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION MPM Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated as Okanogan Development, Inc. on July 18, 1983, under the laws of the State of Washington. It was formed primarily for the purpose of investing in real estate and interests in real estate. On April 25, 1985, the Company combined with MADD Exploration (MADD), a Montana partnership, and changed its name to Montana Precision Mining, Ltd. In August 1995, the Company changed its name to MPM Technologies, Inc. As a result of the combination with MADD, the Company acquired mining properties located in Powell County, Montana. The Company is no longer engaged in exploration or developmental mining activities in regard to these properties. (See Note 12.) The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following subsidiaries and other entities controlled by the Company: Huntington Environmental Systems, Inc. (HES), AirPol, Inc. (AirPol), MPM Mining, Inc., NuPower, Inc., NuPower (a General Partnership) and SkyGas. Intercompany accounts and transactions among the companies have been eliminated. HES, a wholly owned subsidiary, was acquired on March 31, 1997 (See Note 1). HES designs, engineers, supplies and services air pollution control systems for Fortune 500 and other environmental and industrial companies worldwide. HES's systems primarily utilize heat and chemicals to control air pollution. AirPol, a wholly owned subsidiary, was acquired on July 2, 1998 (See Note 1). AirPol, like HES, designs, engineers, supplies and services air pollution control systems. AirPol's systems, however, utilize wet and dry scrubbers, wet electrostatic precipitators and venturi absorbers to control air pollution. NuPower, a 58.21% owned partnership, is engaged in the research and development of an electrothermal gasification process which will be utilized primarily in the waste-to-energy field, although the process is expected to have applications in other areas. This partnership was formed in 1986. SkyGas, an 85% directly and indirectly owned joint venture, was formed in 1990 for the purpose of commercializing the SkyGas technology, which is a disposal/gasification process that converts solid and semi-solid wastes into clean, medium BTU syntheses gas. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, participants and interests owned in the SkyGas venture included: NuPower (a 58.2% owned subsidiary of the Company), 70%, MPM Technologies, Inc., 15%, and USF Smogless of Milan, Italy (a subsidiary of United States Filter Corporation which also owns shares of the Company totaling 6.83% of the common stock outstanding), 15%. The Company currently operates within two reportable segments as disclosed in Note 16. REVENUE RECOGNITION Contract revenue is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in the ratio that costs incurred bear to estimated costs at completion. Costs include all direct material and labor costs, and indirect costs, such as supplies, tools, repair and depreciation. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Other revenue is recorded on the basis of shipment or performance of services or shipment of products. Provision for estimated contract losses, if any, is made in the period that such losses are determined. During 2000 and 1999, no amounts were recognized for estimated contract losses. F-8 21 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The asset "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings" represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts invoiced. The liability "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings" represents invoices in excess of revenues recognized. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, the costs of plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to fifteen years, using the straight-line method. MINERAL PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE Mineral properties held for sale are stated at estimated net realizable value determined based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the liquidation of the related asset. GOODWILL AND PURCHASED INTANGIBLE Goodwill and purchased intangible represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated period of future benefit of ten years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and purchased intangible. The measurement of possible impairment is based primarily on the Company's ability to recover the unamortized balance of the goodwill and purchased intangible from expected future operating cash flows on an undiscounted basis. ASSET IMPAIRMENT The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for financial impairment, and continues to evaluate them as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 uses the asset and liability method so that deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws and tax rates. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the changes in the financial statement basis versus the tax bases in the Company's assets or liabilities from period to period. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. F-9 22 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADVERTISING COSTS Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense was $50,153 and $119,854 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with various high quality financial institutions; these deposits may exceed federally insured limits at various times throughout the year. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 for cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes payable and long-term debt approximates their carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the debt reflect recent market conditions. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of balance sheet classification and the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. WARRANTY RESERVE The Company warranties its pollution control units for defects in design, materials, and workmanship generally for a period of 18 months from date sold or 12 months from date placed in service. Provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded upon completion of the project and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience. F-10 23 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES EARNINGS PER SHARE SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share on the face of all income statements issued after December 15, 1997 for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the average number of shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities (such as stock options, warrants and securities convertible into common stock) that could share in the earnings of an entity. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, outstanding options to purchase 1,014,480 and 1,084,480 shares of the Company's common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been antidilutive. As the Company's stock options are antidilutive, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for all periods presented. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the 1999 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 consolidated financial statement presentation. F-11 24 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired an operating business from United States Filter Corporation under the terms of an asset purchase agreement and subsequently formed an Illinois corporation, Huntington Environmental Systems, Inc., into which the acquired assets and liabilities were transferred. The acquisition of HES was recorded under the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the results of operations of HES are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. The purchase price consisted of the issuance of 146,667 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $990,000. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price was $944,889, which has been established as negative goodwill and is being amortized over ten years. On July 2, 1998, the Company acquired an operating business from FLS miljo, Inc. under the terms of an asset purchase agreement and subsequently formed a New Jersey corporation, AirPol, Inc., into which the acquired assets and liabilities were transferred. The acquisition of AirPol was recorded under the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, the results of operations of AirPol are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. The total purchase price of AirPol was $534,610 and consisted of $234,610 of cash and 96,884 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $300,000. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was $760,532 and is being amortized over ten years. As of July 2, 1998, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows: Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings $248,038 Plant, property and equipment .................... 89,539 Goodwill ......................................... 760,532 Accrued expenses ................................. (15,751) Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings (547,748) -------- $534,610 ========
Included in the December 31, 2000 accounts receivable balance is a total of $583,000 which is the net outstanding amount from those jobs which were acquired from FLS Miljo, Inc. at the date of acquisition, and have since been completed. In September 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire substantially all of the stock of New Monitor Builders, Inc. Since the only assets of New Monitor Builders were patents, the agreement was changed, and the Company acquired only the patents. The Company issued 89,300 shares of its common stock, and recorded the patents acquired at the market value of the stock on its date of issue, $588,244. F-12 25 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

F-13 26 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Depreciation expense charged to operations was $79,282 and $73,390 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 5. NOTES PAYABLE During 1999, the Company issued a $400,000 note payable for funds received, which was immediately converted into shares of the Company's common stock at $1.20 per share. This conversion rate was at a $0.80 discount from the trading price of the debt at the date of issuance. The beneficial conversion feature was therefore ascribed a fair value of $266,666, which has been recorded as a financing charge associated with the transactions. 6. LONG-TERM DEBT In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of HES (See Note 1), the Company assumed a long-term obligation totaling $1,200,000, which is payable in sixteen annual installments of $75,000. As there was no stated interest rate on the obligation, an imputed interest rate of 9%, which represented the Company's estimated borrowing rate, was utilized. The payments due in 2000, 1999 and 1998 have not been made as the Company believes the note holder has breached the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, non-payment does not result in the debt being callable. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the carrying value of the obligation, net of discount, was $810,389 plus accrued interest. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, current amounts owed under this obligation are $300,000 and $225,000, respectively. 7. RELATED PARTY DEBT Related party debt consists of advances received from various directors and related parties. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, amounts owed these related parties totaled $190,000 and $665,000, respectively, and are due on demand. During 2000, an officer/director converted $425,000 of related party debt into the Company's common stock at the then current market price. Additionally, $50,000 of other related party debt was repaid. Certain of the related party creditors voluntarily agreed to terminate their current and future right to interest payments. As such, interest expense of $10,264 and $13,442 has been imputed on this debt at 10% for 2000 and 1999 with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases office space and mineral properties under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2003. Future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial and remaining noncancelable terms in excess of one year are as follows:
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, AMOUNT ------------------------------------- -------- 2001......................... 312,000 2002......................... 244,000 2003......................... 81,000 -------- $637,000 ========
F-14 27 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $355,000 and $250,000, respectively. The Company has entered into an exclusive license rights agreement for technology to be utilized in its SkyGas venture. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay $72,000 annually through April 2007. The agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time. During 1999, AirPol executed a joint venture agreement with another U.S. company to operate a business involved in environmental protection in China. In connection therewith, the Company advanced $30,000 to this arrangement and committed to invest an additional $80,000 through certain technology. This advance is reported with other assets on the balance sheet. 9. INCOME TAXES As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the significant components of the Company's net deferred tax asset is as follows:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------- 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- Net operating loss carryforward ............. $ 2,512,000 $ 2,005,000 Differences between book and tax depreciation 230,000 264,000 Goodwill and purchase asset adjustments ..... 11,000 12,000 Writedown of mineral properties ............. 136,000 136,000 Other ....................................... 70,000 (11,000) ----------- ----------- 2,959,000 2,406,000 Less: valuation allowance ................... 2,959,000 2,406,000 ----------- ----------- $ -- $ -- =========== ===========
As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at both December 31, 2000 and 1999. At December 31, 2000, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $7.5 million that expire in the years 2001 through 2020. 10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY STOCK OPTION PLAN On May 22, 1989, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve a stock option plan (the Plan) for selected key employees, officers and directors of the Company. The Plan is administered by a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") consisting of those directors of the Company and individuals who are elected annually by the Board of Directors to the Committee. The Board of Directors has chosen one of the Company's directors and one outside individual to serve on the Committee. No director eligible to receive options under the Plan may vote upon the granting of an option or Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR) to himself or herself or upon any decision of the Board of Directors or the Committee relating F-15 28 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS to the Plan. Under the Plan, a maximum of 292,222 shares were approved to be granted, which in 2000 and 1999, was increased by 300,000 and 250,000, respectively, to 842,222. Generally, the Plan provides that the terms under which options may be granted are to be determined by a Committee subject to certain requirements as follows: (1) the exercise price will not be less than 100% of the market price per share of the common stock of the Company at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, or as established by the Committee for Non-qualified Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights; and (2) the option purchased price will be paid in full on the date of purchase. Qualified stock option activity under the Plan and non-qualified stock option activity outside the Plan are summarized as follows:
WEIGHTED AVERAGE OPTION OPTIONS PRICE --------- ---------- Outstanding at January 1, 1999 . 247,613 $ 0.89 Granted ........................ 857,667 2.15 Exercised ......................

SFAS No. 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share as if compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used: dividend yield of zero percent; expected volatility of 23 percent; risk-free interest rate of 5.25 percent; and expected lives of five years. The weighted average fair value at date of grant for options granted to employees in 1999 was $1.09 per option. Under the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 ---------------------------- 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- Net loss As reported $(1,164,996) $ (945,406) Pro forma . $(1,657,417) $(1,532,385) Loss per share As reported $ (0.43) $ (0.41) Pro forma . $ (0.60) $ (0.66)

Accordingly, the Company has classified these assets as mineral properties held for sale in its balance sheet at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The Company is actively seeking buyers for these assets. 13. PREPAID ROYALTY During 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain equipment related to the SkyGas technology to the inventor of this technology in exchange for a $275,000 note receivable. The note was collateralized by the equipment sold. Under the agreement, the note was due in a balloon payment of $275,000 on December 1, 1995 or at such time the SkyGas process is placed into sustainable commercial production. Additional renewals have not been negotiated and the Company has recharacterized this former note receivable as prepaid royalties, recoverable from future revenues resulting from the operation of the equipment. During 2000, a payment of $2,000 was received, and the balance at December 31, 2000 was $273,000. F-17 30 MPM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 14.
