The technology underlying our compressors and pumps was created by Dr. Thomas Edwards, our founder and Chief Executive Officer. The primary innovation in our compressors and pumps is that they are lubricant free - they do not require oil to lubricate moving parts, as do traditional compressors and pumps. We have entered into a patent license agreement with Dr. Edwards under which we have been granted the exclusive right to use Dr. Edwards' patented technology to develop products that have commercial application. We have agreed to pay a royalty fee to Dr. Edwards based upon gross revenues we generate from sales or leases of products incorporating the licensed technology. To date, we have developed a line of compressors and pumps incorporating Dr. Edwards' technology, known as UniVane(R) devices. We believe that our UniVane devices can be successfully incorporated into commercially viable fuel cell applications. Fuel cells are an emerging energy source that is being developed as an alternative to traditional energy sources such as gasoline and coal. We believe that our compressors and pumps enable fuel cells to operate more efficiently and with greater power output, thereby promoting the development and adoption of compact, economical fuel cell power systems. In May 2003, we entered into a license agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation, a Fortune 500 industrial company that, among other things, designs, develops, manufactures and distributes a wide range of industrial and consumer products and has been engaged in, among other things, the development of fuel cells as an alternative energy source. Under the license agreement, we have granted Parker-Hannifin the exclusive right to our UniVane technology. We are discussing with Parker-Hannifin the development of additional non-fuel cell applications for our UniVane devices such as in the areas of water quality improvement and aqua farming through aeration. To the extent that Parker-Hannifin is successful in developing and marketing fuel cell devices or other products that incorporate our UniVane devices, we will be entitled to royalty payments from Parker-Hannifin based upon product sales. To date, no such products have been commercially produced and we have not yet received any royalty payments from Parker-Hannifin under the license agreement. We currently provide consulting services to Parker-Hannifin to assist in fuel cell development using our UniVane devices, and receive a monthly consulting fee of $25,000. However, Parker-Hannifin may discontinue our consulting services on not less than 90-days' prior written notice to us. We are currently dependent on Parker-Hannifin to commercialize our UniVane devices, although there is no assurance that commercial applications for our UniVane devices will be developed or, even if developed, that they will be successfully marketed. We are also developing applications for non-fuel cell products utilizing UniVane technology. However, until such time as we are able to generate substantial revenues from royalty payments under the license agreement with Parker-Hannifin, or we are able to secure significant third party financing, our ability to successfully develop, manufacture and market commercially viable non-UniVane non-fuel cell products is uncertain. 3 Our executive offices are located at 564 International Place, Rockledge, Florida 32955, and our telephone number there is (321) 639-0333.

THE FOLLOWING FACTORS ARE BELIEVED BY MANAGEMENT TO BE ALL OF THE MATERIAL RISKS THAT SHOULD BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED BY INVESTORS BEFORE PURCHASING OUR SHARES. RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS WE HAVE ONLY RECENTLY COMMENCED REVENUE-PRODUCING OPERATIONS AND THE LIMITED INFORMATION AVAILABLE ABOUT US MAKES AN INVESTMENT DECISION DIFFICULT. We have conducted limited operations and we have little operating history that permits you to evaluate our business and our prospects based on prior performance. Consequently, your investment decision cannot be made based on our past performance or current trends. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED HISTORICAL LOSSES AND A SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATED DEFICIT. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REVERSE THIS TREND, WE WILL LIKELY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we experienced net losses of $(598,889) and $(522,785), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we experienced net losses of $(159,497) and $(226,253), respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,859,802. Our operating results for future periods will include significant expenses, including new product development expenses, potential marketing costs, programming and administrative expenses, and will be subject to numerous uncertainties. As a result, we are unable to predict whether we will achieve profitability in the future, and our auditors have concluded that, absent revenues from operations or alternative financing, there are substantial doubts that we will be able to continue as a going concern. WE HAVE A WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIT AND SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. SINCE WE WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO OFFSET OUR EXPENSES, AS A RESULT OF WHICH INVESTORS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL OUR SHARES AT A PROFIT OR AT ALL. As of June 30, 2004, our current liabilities were approximately $657,556 and our current assets were approximately $102,955. As a result, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $554,601. To date, our operating expenses have greatly exceeded our limited revenues. We immediately require substantial working capital, but we have received no commitments for funding from any third parties. If we are unable to generate substantial revenues from operations or obtain working capital from external sources, we will be forced to curtail or cease operations in which event investors will lose their investment in our company. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A SINGLE STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNER, AND IF OUR PARTNER IS UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP, MANUFACTURE OR MARKET PRODUCTS OR OTHER PRODUCTS INCORPORATING OUR TECHNOLOGY, WE WILL NOT GENERATE SUBSTANTIAL REVENUES AND WE WILL LIKELY CEASE OPERATIONS. We have granted an exclusive, worldwide license to Parker-Hannifin Corporation for our air UniVane compressors, hydrogen circulators and related technology. In connection with this license, Parker-Hannifin is responsible for the development of products incorporating the licensed technology. While Parker-Hannifin is producing demonstration compressors and hydrogen circulators incorporating our licensed technology, Parker-Hannifin has not yet manufactured commercial products that incorporate our technology. See "Business - License Agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation." We are entitled to a royalty fee from Parker-Hannifin Corporation that is based upon its sale of our products and 6 products incorporating our technology. However, Parker-Hannifin may not be successful in marketing these products, in which event we will not receive royalty fees from Parker-Hannifin. While we depend upon Parker-Hannifin for sales of royalty-generating products, we have no control over Parker-Hannifin's technical and manufacturing development or marketing activities, and Parker-Hannifin is only required to use reasonable commercial efforts to market these products. If Parker-Hannifin does not successfully market royalty-generating products under our license agreement, we will not receive royalty fees and we will likely be forced to cease operations. To date, Parker-Hannifin has not sold any products as to which we are entitled to a royalty payment. SINCE WE PLACE EXCLUSIVE RELIANCE ON PARKER-HANNIFIN FOR UNIVANE PRODUCT SALES, OUR REVENUES MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BECAUSE WE MAY FOREGO OTHER POTENTIAL SOURCES OF REVENUE PRODUCTION WITHOUT ASSURANCE THAT SALES BY PARKER-HANNIFIN WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL. During the term of our exclusive license agreement with Parker-Hannifin, which, in general, continues for the life of the licensed patent, we are prohibited from selling our UniVane devices to any other party. While Parker-Hannifin has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop, manufacture or sell our products during the period that the exclusive license agreement is in effect, we will forgo potential sales of UniVane devices to third parties. Moreover, Parker-Hannifin may not be successful in its marketing efforts. FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT YET BECOME A WIDELY ACCEPTED ALTERNATIVE FUEL SOURCE AND ABSENT MARKET ACCEPTANCE, OR IF ACCEPTANCE IS SUBSTANTIALLY DELAYED, WE MAY BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS. Fuel cell systems represent a relatively new technology and our success will depend on this technology achieving market acceptance. The development of a substantial market for fuel cell systems may be impacted by many factors, all of which are out of our control, including: o Cost competitiveness of cell systems; o User acceptance of fuel cell systems; o Cost of hydrogen fuel; o User perception of fuel cell systems' safety; and o Emergence of newer, more competitive technologies and products. The success of our license agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation, and our receipt of royalty payments under the license agreement, is dependent upon the success of Parker-Hannifin in developing and marketing fuel cell products incorporating the technology we have licensed to them. If a substantial fuel cell systems market develops slower than anticipated or fails to develop, Parker-Hannifin's efforts may be delayed or frustrated and we may not be able to recover the expenses we incurred to develop our fuel cell compressor products, and we may be forced to cease operations. Moreover, our UniVane compressors are based upon and rely solely upon our unique technology. They have not been produced on a commercial basis and have not received substantial compressor product market acceptance for several reasons, including manufacturing cost. IF THE LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IS TERMINATED WE WILL BE UNABLE TO USE THE TECHNOLOGY INCORPORATED INTO OUR PRODUCTS AND WE WILL CEASE OPERATIONS. The technology in our compressor products is the subject of various patents owned by Dr. Thomas Edwards, our president and chief executive officer. We license the technology from Dr. Edwards under a license agreement entered into in January 2004, which replaced a license agreement entered into in 1992. Under the license agreement, we are required to pay Dr. Edwards' one percent of 7 revenues we receive from sales of products incorporating the licensed technology, and ten percent of gross royalty fees in excess of $500,000 per calendar year received by us from sublicenses of the licensed technology. In the event we fail to make required royalty payments to Dr. Edwards under the license agreement, or if we become bankrupt, the license agreement will terminate and we will no longer be entitled to use the licensed technology. If we lose the right to use the licensed technology, we will likely cease operations, in which event investors will lose their entire investment in DynEco. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WERE PRESENT IN THE NEGOTIATION OF OUR LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH DR. EDWARDS THAT MIGHT HAVE AFFECTED THE TERMS THAT WE ARE NOW BOUND BY. Dr. Edwards is our founder, Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of our Board of Directors. Due to the positions occupied by Dr. Edwards, and his influence over our operations, conflicts of interest were present in connection with the negotiation of our license agreement with Dr. Edwards. Since the license agreement was not negotiated at arms' length, the license agreement may provide terms less favorable to us than if the agreement had been negotiated by unrelated parties or if had we obtained a fairness opinion prior to entering into the license agreement. WE HAVE NO COMMERCIAL PRODUCT SALES AND ONLY LIMITED SALES OF PROTOTYPES. IF PARKER-HANNIFIN DOES NOT GENERATE SIGNIFICANT SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS OR ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY, IN WHICH CASE WE WILL BE FORCED TO CEASE OPERATIONS. Parker-Hannifin may not be able to manufacture or commercialize our UniVane compressor and hydrogen circulator products in a cost effective manner. Most recently, we have derived revenues principally from consulting fees and research and development contracts. Our compressor and hydrogen circulator product sales have been limited to demonstration and prototype models. We have not made any commercial sales of units that include fuel-processing capabilities. Parker-Hannifin may not be able to produce or commercialize any of our fuel cell compressor products in a cost-effective manner, and, if produced, may be unable to successfully market these products. Parker-Hannifin may not be able to develop manufacturing technologies and processes or expand their manufacturing facilities to the point of being capable of economically or profitably satisfying large commercial orders that may occur. Development and expansion of these technologies and processes require extensive lead times and the commitment of significant financial, engineering and human resources. Parker-Hannifin may choose not to develop the required manufacturing technologies and processes. WE DEPEND ON THE CONTINUED SERVICES OF OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, WHOSE EXPERTISE IS CRITICAL TO OUR SUCCESS, AND WHO WE MAY BE UNABLE TO REPLACE. Our future success depends upon the continued services of Thomas Edwards, Ph.D., as our chief executive officer. The expertise of Dr. Edwards in the technology that is fundamental to our business operations is unique and if we were to lose Dr. Edwards' services, we will encounter difficulty in replacing him, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our loss of the services of Dr. Edwards would not affect the continued validty of the proprietary technology we license from Dr. Edwards. 8 RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING WE HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN OUR ATTEMPTS TO RAISE SUFFICIENT CAPITAL TO FUND OUR BUSINESS PLANS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DO SO WE WILL LIKELY CEASE OPERATIONS. To date, we have funded our operations through limited revenues and debt and equity financing. However, we have been unsuccessful in attracting significant additional private funding for our business. We continue to incur operating expenses, including executive and staff salaries, lease obligations and costs associated with our in-house product development efforts, but we have not yet received royalty payments from Parker-Hannifin under our license agreement with them. Until such time, if ever, as we begin to receive a royalty income stream from Parker-Hannifin, we will continue to be dependent upon our receipt of third-party financing to fund our current cash flow deficit and to enable us to develop new products. To date, we have received no commitment for additional funding, and if we are unsuccessful in attracting such funding, we may be required to cease active operations until such time, if ever, as we receive royalty income from Parker-Hannifin. THIS PROSPECTUS PERMITS SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES. IF THEY DO SO, THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR SHARES MAY FALL AND PURCHASERS OF OUR SHARES MAY BE UNABLE TO RESELL THEM. This prospectus includes 8,175,000 shares being offered by existing stockholders, including 4,150,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and options. To the extent that these shares are sold into the market for our shares, there may be an oversupply of shares and an undersupply of purchasers. If this occurs the market price for our shares may decline significantly and investors may be unable to sell their shares at a profit, or at all. THERE IS NO ACTIVE TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SHARES AND IF AN ACTIVE TRADING MARKET DOES NOT DEVELOP, PURCHASERS OF OUR SHARES MAY BE UNABLE TO PUBLICLY RESELLING THEM. There is no active trading market for our shares and we do not know if an active trading market will develop. An active market will not develop unless broker-dealers develop interest in trading our shares, and we may be unable to generate interest in our shares among broker-dealers until we generate meaningful revenues and profits from operations. Until that time occurs, if it does at all, purchasers of our shares may be unable to sell them publicly. In the absence of an active trading market: o Investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations; o Market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and o A lack of visibility for our common stock may depress the market price for our shares. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FORESEE ALL RISKS WHICH MAY AFFECT US. MOREOVER, WE CANNOT PREDICT WHETHER WE WILL SUCCESSFULLY EFFECTUATE OUR CURRENT BUSINESS PLAN. EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY ANALYZE THE RISKS AND MERITS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES AND SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN MAKING SUCH ANALYSIS, AMONG OTHERS, THE RISK FACTORS DISCUSSED ABOVE. USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of shares by the selling security holders. 9 MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY MARKET INFORMATION There is currently no established trading market for our common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 33,112,978 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. We have also reserved a total of 15,885,120 shares for issuance upon exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants, and 4,713,369 shares upon exercise of outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock. Of the issued and outstanding shares, 18,280,739 shares of our common stock (4,255,077 of which are owned by our officers, directors and principal stockholders) have been held for in excess of one year and will be available for public resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act commencing 90 days following the date of this prospectus. As of the date of this prospectus, the 8,175,000 shares being offered by selling security holders can be publicly transferred. Unless covered by an effective registration statement, the resale of our shares of common stock owned by officers, directors and affiliates is subject to the volume limitations of Rule 144. In general, Rule 144 permits our shareholders who have beneficially owned restricted shares of common stock for at least one year to sell without registration, within a three-month period, a number of shares not exceeding one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock. Furthermore, if such shares are held for at least two years by a person not affiliated with us (in general, a person who is not one of our executive officers, directors or principal shareholders during the three month period prior to resale), such restricted shares can be sold without any volume limitation. Sales of our common stock under Rule 144 or pursuant to such registration statement may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock. DIVIDENDS We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to keep future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Our future payment of dividends will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other relevant factors. Our retained earnings deficit currently limits our ability to pay dividends. SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD Our common stock was held of record by approximately 820 shareholders of record as of June 30, 2004. SEC "PENNY STOCK" RULES The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a "penny stock". A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition he must receive the purchaser's 10 written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to resell them.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and other information presented elsewhere in this prospectus. GENERAL We are engaged primarily in developing and commercializing patented high efficiency low-pressure non-lubricated air compressors and hydrogen 11 circulators, known collectively as UniVane devices. The basic UniVane compressor technology development has been carried out by DynEco and is based upon the concepts, innovations and embodiments of the patents Dr. Edwards has licensed to us. That license agreement was entered into in January 2004, which replaced a license agreement entered into in 1992. Under the license agreement, we are required to pay Dr. Edwards one percent of revenues we receive from sales of products incorporating the licensed technology, and ten percent of gross royalty fees in excess of $500,000 per calendar year received by us from sublicenses of the licensed technology. The underlying UniVane patent #6,623,261 filed July 21, 2001 has a term of twenty years and expires on July 21, 2021. During May 2003, we granted an exclusive, world-wide patent license to Parker-Hannifin Corporation to further develop, enhance, manufacture and market our UniVane devices for all product application into which UniVane is incorporated. Under the license agreement, Parker-Hannifin is responsible for generating production UniVane compressor engineering drawings and for manufacturing them in small quantities. As a result, our technical efforts have been re-directed to generating potentially improved manufacturing design concepts, decreasing costs, increasing UniVane operational speeds and capacities and creating initial engineering conceptual layouts for different size UniVanes. In addition to engineering efforts to improve UniVane machines, we are also identifying non-fuel cell markets for UniVane compressors and designing systems that would employ the machines in those markets. Presently, we are designing and testing aeration systems that could be applied to pond water reclamation and the aquaculture industry. We have historically incurred losses primarily resulting from expenditures related to the research, development, testing and preliminary marketing of our proprietary technology. To date, no products incorporating our UniVane technology have been commercially manufactured and we have not yet generated revenues, including royalty income, from the sale of products incorporating our UniVane technology. Until we established our relationship with Parker-Hannifin, we were unable to identify manufacturers who were willing to aid in the commercialization of products incorporating our UniVane technology. However, we expect that operating losses will continue until such time as either our future royalty income generates sufficient revenues to fund continuing operations or a combination of royalties and profits that may be generated from the sale of systems, such as aerators, that use UniVane air compressors. Under the Parker License Agreement, DynEco is being paid $25,000 per month for 12-months primarily to transfer UniVane technology to Parker and to aid in the transition from prototype production to commercial manufacturing. We will continue to provide these services to Parker-Hannifin on a monthly basis until we receive at least 90 days' written notice of Parker-Hannifin's intent to discontinue our services. Prior to 2003, DynEco was developing and attempting to commercialize the licensed UniVane technology with its own limited resources. In 2002, our revenues were generated from the sale of compressor prototypes. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Valuation of Patent Rights The valuation of patent rights has a material impact on the reported financial condition and operating performance of the company. Patent rights consist of the costs incurred to obtain patent rights associated with compressor technology. Patent rights are amortized using the straight-line method over their seventeen to twenty year lives commencing upon patent issuance and the generation of revenues utilizing the underlying technology. Future revenues, if any, generated by these patents will be in the form of royalties from Parker-Hannifin. There is no assurance that commercial applications will be developed. 12 Due to: (a) uncertainties in the developing fuel cell industry, (b) inherent risk of competing future technologies, and (c) our reliance on Parker-Hannifin, it is possible that the company could recognize an impairment loss of the entire net carrying value of patent rights of $147,299 as of June 30, 2004. If recognized, this loss would be reflected as an operating expense and increase the stockholders' deficit to $622,469 at June 30, 2004. The Company recorded and charged to operations impairment losses of $0 and $144,930, relating to patent rights, for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Stock Based Compensation Plans The Company has three stock based compensation plans. The board of directors administers these plans and may grant options to key individuals at their discretion. Terms and prices are to be determined by the compensation committee. These plans have an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance. Options outstanding were for 943,333 and 843,333 of shares of common stock at December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004 respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2003 and the six months ended June 30, 2004 there were no options granted under any of these plans. Therefore there was no compensation expense in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and no pro forma disclosures required under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. If, however, the Company were to grant significant options to key individuals in the future, there may be an expense, which could be material, determined under the fair value based method to arrive at pro forma net income (loss). RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our historical results of operations prior to 2003 are not indicative of our current operations due to a shift in business operations, commencing with the licensing of our UniVane patent rights to the Parker-Hannifin Corporation along with the associated consulting agreement. Revenues for the near term will depend upon the level of our continued consulting support to Parker-Hannifin and our receipt of royalty payments, if any, related to the sale of systems that employ our UniVane technology. In May 2003, we licensed our UniVane patent rights to the Parker-Hannifin Corporation. At the same time we commenced providing services under an associated product consulting agreement with Parker-Hannifin. The product development and marketing and distribution resources of Parker-Hannifin are far greater than those of DynEco, and, in the long-term we anticipate that these resources will enable us to realize a greater level of revenues without the related costs that we would incur if we were to undertake these activities on our own. Moreover, our limited resources do not enable us to undertake performance of these activities. Our revenues for 2003 were primarily derived from consulting fees under the agreement with Parker-Hannifin. In 2004, the $25,000 monthly consulting fee will continue on a month-to-month basis, unless Parker-Hannifin provides us with at least 90 days' written notice that they intend to discontinue our services. To date, there have been no sales of UniVane products that generated any royalty fees. In general, our license agreement with Parker-Hannifin does not expire until the later to occur of the last licensed UniVane patent expiration (i.e., July 21, 2021), or the final use of UniVane-related technology by Parker-Hannifin. 13 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 Our revenues were $150,000 from consulting fees during the first six months of 2004 compared with $25,000 in the 2003 period. These fees relate to the Parker-Hannifin consulting agreement entered into during May 2003. Other revenues were from prototype sales. Operating expenses increased 15.4% to $287,747 in 2004 from $249,192 in 2003. Professional fees increased $34,925 due to legal and accounting fees associated with filing a Form SB-2 Registration Statement and preparation of relevant financial information. Our net loss for the 2004 period decreased $66,756 to $159,497 from $226,253 due to the consulting fee revenues. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 Our revenues from consulting fees were $175,000 during 2003 compared to no such fees in 2002. Prototype sales decreased $131,383 to $1,500 in 2003 from $132,883 in 2002. This shift in revenue from prototype sales to consulting fees is a result of our change in operating strategy. We now rely on Parker-Hannifin for consulting fee income and the commercialization of the licensed technology. Gross margin increased $174,832 to $176,500 in 2003 from $1,668 in 2002. This improvement is due to the shift to consulting fee income from low-margin prototype sales. Operating expenses increased 42.6% to $778,372 in 2003 from $545,499 for 2002. The increase is attributable to our issuance, during 2003, of 2,775,000 shares of common stock valued at $333,000 in exchange for consulting, legal, directors and employee services. In 2002, we issued 150,000 shares of common stock valued at $18,000 in exchange for consulting services. During the years ending December 31, 2003 and 2002,we recognized an impairment loss of $0 and $144,930, respectively, for discontinued patented technology, net of accumulated amortization of $0 and $97,058, respectively, concerning our earlier patented Orbital Vane(R) compressor products. The Company was unsuccessful in commercializing these products and therefore abandoned the Orbital Vane patents thus relieving their associated costs. Professional fees included in general and administrative expenses increased $66,492, which is a result of legal costs associated with securing the Parker-Hannifin and Technological Research and Development Authority agreements and the financial statement audit fee incurred in 2003. The $166,381 in additional operating expenses is attributable to officer's salary, health insurance costs, UniVane compressor development prior to entering into the agreement with Parker-Hannifin and new computers and software. Our net loss increased $76,104 to $598,889 during 2003 from $522,785 in 2002. The increased operating expenses discussed in the prior paragraph more than offset the increased consulting fee income. FINANCIAL CONDITION - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES DynEco Corporation is a developmental stage company. Its financial condition relies on continuing equity investment until, if ever, Parker-Hannifin is successful in commercializing the UniVane technology. During 2003 and 2002 equity funding was augmented by prototype sales, consulting fees and funding from the Technological Research and Development Authority headquartered in Titusville, Florida. 14 From time-to-time, we issue stock to satisfy operating expenses, which provides us with a form of liquidity. For example, during 2003, we issued 60,000 shares of common stock valued at $7,200 and 120,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $.18 per share, in settlement of $15,000 of accounts payable. Also during 2003, we issued 2,775,000 shares of common stock valued at $333,000 in exchange for consulting, legal, directors and employee services. Due, in part, to our lack of earnings, our success in attracting additional funding has been limited to transactions in which our equity is used as currency. In light of the availability of this type of financing, and the lack of alternative proposals, our board of directors has determined that the continued use of our equity for these purposes may be necessary if we are to sustain operations. Equity financings of the type we have been required to pursue may be dilutive to our stockholders and may adversely impact the market price for our shares. In November 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with the Technological Research and Development Authority which provided $150,000 in funding for the development and commercialization of DynEco's UniVane compressors and hydrogen circulators for fuel cell applications. In consideration of the funding, the Company is obligated to make royalty payments to the Authority equal to five percent of future UniVane-related sales up to an amount equal to three times the amount DynEco receives from the Authority. During 2003, the entire $150,000 funding commitment was received. The agreement expires in November 2012. We do not anticipate any additional funding from the Technological Research and Development Authority. As of June 30, 2004 our primary source of liquidity was $70,834 of cash and $26,878 of accounts receivable. The working capital deficit was $(554,601). We had total assets of $311,629, of which long-term assets consisted of $147,299 of patent rights, net, other of $45, and $61,330 of property and equipment, net. Our liabilities totaling $786,799 included $112,644 of accounts payable, $308,756 of accrued liabilities, $176,708 loan payable and $59,448 of current maturities of long-term debt. Total shareholders' deficit was $(475,170). At June 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $(7,859,802). We are in default of the repayment terms on notes payable aggregating $35,000 at June 30, 2004, and no extension has been granted by the debt holders. Currently, there have been no actions taken by the debt holders to foreclose since the notes payable were unsecured. We anticipate settling the balance owing on these notes payable through issuance of common stock in 2004. Net cash used in operating activities was $114,805 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $192,665 for the same period in 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2003 net cash used in operations was $285,805 and $298,470 in 2002. The cash provided by financing activities in 2003 of $494,807 was due to $373,980 from issuance of common stock through various private placements and $150,000 in a loan from Technological Research and Development Authority. Historically, we have relied upon limited revenues from consulting fees and equity financing in order to fund operations. While these activities have provided limited resources, they have never resulted in cash flow in excess of immediately needed funding. Our inability to generate cash flow in excess of immediately needed funds was, in large part responsible for our decision to enter into the strategic relationship with Parker-Hannifin as a means to develop commercially viable products and a potential source of revenue generation. As of June 30, 2004, and the date of this prospectus, our sources of internal and external financing are limited. It is not expected that the internal sources of liquidity will improve until net cash is provided from operating activities, and until such time, we will rely upon external sources of liquidity, including additional private placements of our common stock and exercise of various outstanding stock warrants and stock options. In February 2004, we initiated a public registration of 8,175,000 shares of our common 15 stock, comprised of 4,025,000 for shares outstanding and 4,150,000 for shares issuable to an option holder and warrant holders at an exercise price of $.18 per share. Following the effective date of the registration statement and listing of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are hopeful the exposure of a national exchange might help increase the Company's market capitalization and encourage the exercise of outstanding warrants. We have no understandings or commitments from anyone with respect to external financing, and we cannot predict whether we will be able to secure necessary funding when needed, or at all. In addition, we may be unsuccessful in securing a listing for our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board. We project our current monthly cash flow requirement to be approximately $40,000. While our cash and anticipated receipt of consulting fees should be sufficient to satisfy our capital requirements for the next six to nine months, the $25,000 per month consulting fee we receive from Parker-Hannifin may be discontinued upon 90 days' written notice after May 2004, and, even if continued, those fees together with our current available cash, are insufficient to satisfy our monthly operating costs or anticipated costs associated with new product development. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, if any, in future periods beyond this six to nine month period to satisfy our capital requirements. Therefore, we may have to continue to rely on external financing activities, including the sale of our equity securities, to satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Due, in part, to our lack of earnings, our success in attracting additional funding has been limited to transactions in which our equity is used as currency. In light of the availability of this type of financing, and the lack of alternative proposals, our board of directors has determined that the continued use of our equity for these purposes may be necessary if we are to sustain operations. Equity financings of the type we have been required to pursue may be dilutive to our stockholders and may adversely impact the market price for our shares. However, we have no commitments for borrowings or additional sales of equity, the precise terms upon which we may be able to attract additional funding is not known at this time, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any such future financing transactions on terms satisfactory to us, or at all. SEASONALITY AND INFLATION Our business is not seasonal in nature, and management does not believe that our operations have been materially affected by inflationary forces. If the recent increase in oil prices proves to be long lasting, we believe the interest in fuel cell development will only increase. As previously stated, our future success is dependent upon the successful development and market acceptance of fuel cell systems. BUSINESS We are engaged in the development of high efficiency compressors and pumps that we believe will have commercial application in products, the sale of which will generate revenue for us. The technology underlying our compressors and pumps was created by Dr. Thomas Edwards, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, and is the subject of three patents that have been issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The primary innovation in our compressors and pumps is that they are lubricant free - they do not require oil to lubricate moving parts, as do traditional compressors and pumps. We have entered into a patent license agreement with Dr. Edward under which we have been granted the exclusive right to use the Dr. Edwards' patented technology to develop products that have commercial application. To date, we have developed a line of compressors and pumps incorporating Dr. Edwards' technology, known as UniVane devices. We believe that 16 our UniVane devices can be successfully incorporated into commercially viable fuel cell applications. Fuel cells are an emerging energy source that is being developed as an alternative to traditional energy sources such as gasoline and coal. We believe that our compressors and pumps enable fuel cells to operate more efficiently and with greater power output, thereby promoting the development and adoption of compact, economical fuel cell power systems. Fuel cells are similar to batteries with the exception that if they are continuously provided with oxygen from the air and hydrogen fuel, they continue to provide electricity and, therefore, they do not `run down'. Fuel cells are believed to be more efficient than traditional energy sources for many reasons, including that they introduce almost no pollutants into the atmosphere and they utilize fuel more efficiently than combustion devices. To date, our limited financial resources have prevented us from commercializing our UniVane devices into revenue-producing products. In addition, fuel cell technology has not yet become accepted as an alternative energy source on a commercial basis and, until recently, we were unable to attract manufacturers who are willing to devote their resources to alter their manufacturing processes to accommodate production of our UniVane devices. However, in May 2003, we entered into a license agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation, a Fortune 500 industrial company that, among other things, designs, develops, manufactures and distributes a wide range of industrial and consumer products and has been engaged in, among other things, the development of fuel cells as an alternative energy source. Under the license agreement, we have granted Parker-Hannifin the exclusive right to our UniVane technology. We are discussing with Parker-Hannifin the development of additional applications for our UniVane devices such as in the areas of water quality improvement and aqua farming through aeration. To the extent that Parker-Hannifin is successful in developing and marketing fuel cell devices or other products that incorporate our UniVane devices, we will be entitled to royalty payments from Parker-Hannifin based upon product sales. Non-fuel cell product applications incorporating UniVane technology being considered for development by Parker-Hannifin include pond aeration systems, vacuum systems, hydrogen circulators and oxygenation systems. To date, no such products have been commercially produced and we have not yet received any royalty payments from Parker-Hannifin under the license agreement. Further information relating to royalty arrangements with Parker-Hannifin is discussed below under "License Agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation." We currently provide consulting services to Parker-Hannifin to assist in fuel cell development using our UniVane devices, and receive a monthly consulting fee of $25,000. However, Parker-Hannifin may discontinue our consulting services on not less than 90-days' prior written notice to us. The $25,000 consulting fee is currently our only source of income. Due to the exclusive nature of our license agreement with Parker-Hannifin, we are currently dependent on Parker-Hannifin to commercialize our UniVane devices, although there is no assurance that commercial applications for our UniVane devices will be developed or, even if developed, that they will be successfully marketed. We are also developing non-fuel cell applications utilizing UniVane technology. However, until such time as we are able to generate substantial revenues from royalty payments under the license agreement with Parker-Hannifin, or we are able to secure significant third party financing, our ability to successfully develop, manufacture and market commercially viable non-UniVane products is uncertain. FUEL CELLS At present, we are devoting substantially all of our efforts to providing consulting services to Parker-Hannifin Corporation to assist them in developing fuel cells incorporating our UniVane compressor and hydrogen generator. 17 Over the past several years, environmental and economic concerns have led to searches for alternative sources of power for electricity generation and transportation. Fuel cells have emerged as a leading source of power for these applications as they are an inherently cleaner, more efficient and a more reliable source of power than current generation methods. Fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity through a process that can be twice as efficient as conventional electrical energy production, and they result in virtually no emissions while producing heat and water as by-products. A fuel cell is a device that is much like a battery. However, rather than storing energy in the manner that a battery does, a fuel cell continuously changes the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy and heat. It does so without combustion. Recently, interest in fuel cell technology has accelerated due to increasing environmental concerns and energy reliability awareness. In addition, some fuel cell applications have progressed to the pre-production stage and have received significant attention in the financial and popular press. Fuel cells can be used in stationary applications such as generating electricity or heating buildings, and for non-stationary applications such as powering vehicles including automobiles, buses and trains. DYNECO UNIVANE COMPRESSOR AND HYDROGEN CIRCULATOR We control the rights to two proprietary mechanisms - Orbital Vane(R) and UniVane devices. UniVane compressors operate without a lubrication system - the primary requirement for fuel cell compressors and, therefore, the current focal point of DynEco activities. On the other hand, Orbital Vane machines require lubricant systems and, therefore, unlike the UniVane, they are unsuitable for fuel cell applications. Thus, we are focusing current technology development efforts only on UniVane technology. Further, DynEco no longer renews patent annuity/maintenance fees for Orbital Vane patents, which hastens the transition of these patents to the public domain. The UniVane compressor and hydrogen circulator provide a flow of oxygen or hydrogen to other components comprising an entire fuel cell. UniVane technology can be used for hydrogen circulator pumps, natural gas/air mixing compressors, cathode air compressors and as a duel compressor for gas and air. It is a high efficiency device that is designed to offer higher flow at lower pressures than alternative systems. UniVane devices produce a greater flow while utilizing about one half the energy of a conventional product. UniVane compressors consist of a closed stationary cylindrical housing containing a rotor fitted with a single vane. These rotating parts are suspended in the housing by non-lubricated ceramic ball bearings so that neither rotating component actually touches the inner surfaces of the housing. Energy-efficient non-contact sealing is achieved, and result in essentially no friction or wear among the parts, even over thousands of hours. These attributes enable the design and manufacture of subsystems that we believe, for example, can be used to reliably and efficiently supply air to and circulate hydrogen through fuel cells. LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH DR. THOMAS C. EDWARDS In February 2004, we entered into an Exclusive Patent and Know-How License Agreement with Thomas C. Edwards, Ph.D., our president and chief executive officer. Under the license agreement, we have been granted the exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to use certain patented technology owned by Dr. Edwards, as well as the related technical know-how, for the lives of the respective patents. The patents covered by the license agreement include Dr. Edwards' patents for UniVane technology. The license agreement with Dr. Edwards covers three patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patents have expiration dates in September 2023. We are permitted to 18 sublicense the licensed technology, and have sublicensed the licensed technology to Parker-Hannifin under our exclusive license agreement with Parker-Hannifin. Under the license agreement, we are required to pay Dr. Edwards a royalty fee equal to 1% of the sales or lease price of all products sold or leased by us that incorporate the licensed technology. We are also obligated to pay Dr. Edwards a royalty fee equal to 10% of gross royalty fees in excess of $500,000 per calendar year received by us from sublicenses of the licensed technology. To date, no royalty fees are due and owning to Dr. Edwards under the license agreement. The license agreement has a term expiring in July 2021, when the last patent covered by the license agreement expires. The license agreement may be terminated by a non-defaulting party in the event the other party fails to cure a default within 90 days of written notice of such default. In addition, we have the right to terminate the license agreement upon six months' written notice at any time after 2009. In the event of our bankruptcy, the license agreement shall terminate and Dr. Edwards will succeed to the rights and obligations under DynEco's license agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation. The February 2004 license agreement replaces and supercedes a license agreement that we entered into with Dr. Edwards on March 9, 1992. Our license to use Dr. Edwards' inventions prior to the January 2004 license agreement was granted under the 1992 license agreement. As consideration to Dr. Edwards' under the 1992 license agreement, we issued Dr. Edwards 2,200,000 shares of our common stock. LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION In May 2003, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Parker-Hannifin Corporation, a Cleveland, Ohio-based, multinational designer, manufacturer and distributor of industrial and products. Under the license agreement, we have granted Parker-Hannifin a sublicense agreement that grants them exclusive world-wide rights to develop, manufacture, sell and use our UniVane air compressors and hydrogen circulators, as well as the technology and patents incorporated in our products, throughout the world. Under the license agreement, we are precluded from manufacturing, using or selling our air compressors and hydrogen circulators to anyone other than Parker-Hannifin, and from developing or licensing our technology air compressor and hydrogen circulator technology to any other party. We anticipate that our UniVane air compressors and hydrogen circulators will be sold by Parker-Hannifin both as individual products and as part of systems manufactured and/or distributed by Parker-Hannifin. The license agreement continues in force until the later of the end date of the last to expire patent or the final use of the technology by Parker-Hannifin or its customer(s). Parker-Hannifin has agreed to use reasonable commercial efforts to promote the sale of our air compressors and hydrogen circulators. In consideration for the license grant, Parker-Hannifin has agree to pay us a royalty for each air compressor and hydrogen circulator incorporating our UniVane technology and sold by Parker-Hannifin to third parties other than Parker-Hannifin's subsidiaries and affiliates. The royalty is payable quarterly, will be calculated as a percentage of the net selling price of the UniVane air compressor or hydrogen circulator included in the product sold by Parker-Hannifin, and is based upon attaining the following levels of product sales: 19 Annual Number of Products Percentage of Net Selling Price ------------------------- ------------------------------- 1 - 50 15% 51 - 250 10% 251 - 10,000 8% 10,000 + 6% After the third year of the license agreement, royalties will not be paid on products sold into a country where none of our technology is covered by a valid patent. In the event that royalty fees from Parker-Hannifin are less than $100,000 in any calendar year beginning with the calendar year commencing January 1, 2007, Parker-Hannifin may elect to either (a) pay us the difference between $100,000 and the amount of royalty fees paid for that year, or (b) permit the license granted to it to become non-exclusive. No sales of licensed products have been made to date and we cannot predict whether Parker-Hannifin will successfully sell licensed products incorporating our technology. The license agreement with Parker-Hannifin will continue until to the earliest to occur of (a) expiration of the licensed patent, (b) the final use of the licensed technology by a customer of Parker-Hannifin, (c) termination of the license agreement by one party due to a material uncured breach by the other party, (d) termination of the license agreement by a party due to a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the other party, or (e) the mutual agreement of the parties. We have also entered into a product consulting agreement with Parker-Hannifin to provide consulting services to Parker-Hannifin for developing and improving products covered by the license agreement. The consulting agreement is for an initial term of one year terminating May 31, 2004, subject to automatic month-to-month renewals unless one party provides 90-days notice of termination to the other. We are entitled to consulting fees of $25,000 per month under the agreement. Parker-Hannifin is under no obligation to continue to use our consulting services after May 31, 2004. Parker-Hannifin has purchased machine tools and special tooling, and has appointed a specialized engineering and manufacturing team to produce UniVane compressors. This team has commenced the manufacture of 50 demonstration machines that will test the efficacy of our UniVane air compressors and hydrogen circulators on both test benches and in operating fuel cells. We also believe that these compressors can be demonstrated in other applications such as aeration and natural gas pumping During the term of our exclusive license agreement with Parker-Hannifin, we are prohibited from selling our UniVane fuel cell compressors and hydrogen circulators to any other party. Since, at the present time, our UniVane fuel cell compressors and hydrogen circulators are our only products capable of generating revenues, we are substantially dependent upon Parker-Hannifin for sales of royalty-generating products. However, we have no control over Parker-Hannifin's technical and manufacturing development or marketing activities, and Parker-Hannifin is only required to use reasonable commercial efforts to market these products. If Parker-Hannifin does not successfully market royalty-generating products under our license agreement, we will not receive royalty fees and we will likely be forced to cease operations. SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION On August 6, 2004, we entered into a supply agreement with Parker-Hannifin under which we have agreed to purchase our requirements of certain compressor products from Parker-Hannifin and Parker-Hannifin has agreed to sell us our requirements of those products, for resale. The products covered by the supply agreement are UniVane compressors, products produced by Parker-Hannifin relating to the sale and installation of UniVane compressors and 20 all products utilizing UniVane technology. Under the supply agreement, we will purchase product from Parker-Hannifin at its standard distributor pricing, as may be established by Parker-Hannifin from time-to-time. Under the supply agreement, we have also granted Parker-Hannifin the right of first refusal to supply us with our requirements of aeration systems incorporating our UniVane technology for non-fuel cell applications, if Parker-Hannifin demonstrates that it can supply a system meeting our technical requirements at pricing that is reasonably competitive with other suppliers. TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FUNDING AGREEMENT Effective November 20, 2002, we entered into a funding agreement with the Technological Research and Development Authority, headquartered in Titusville, Florida. Under the funding agreement, we are entitled to receive a maximum of $150,000 from the Authority to provide partial funding for the development and commercialization of our UniVane compressors and hydrogen circulators. During 2003, we received the entire $150,000 funding commitment under this agreement. As consideration for the funding, we are required to pay the Authority a royalty equal to 5% of our revenues from the sale, distribution, lease or other disposal of our UniVane compressors and hydrogen circulators. The royalty is payable until such time as total royalty payments equal $450,000. The agreement is for a term of 10 years. NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Our present business and technical activities are primarily focused upon aiding Parker-Hannifin in improving UniVane machines and putting them into production in various sizes and capacities. We are also investigating the feasibility of incorporating UniVane devices into products other than fuel cells, such as water aeration and aquaculture and septic system aeration, as well as manufacturing and food processing. To the extent that new product development involves UniVane devices, our exclusive license agreement with Parker-Hannifin grants Parker-Hannifin the exclusive right to develop and distribute those products. However, under the agreement, we will be entitled to a royalty payment for each product sold by Parker-Hannifin, so that there is incentive for us to continue to develop new product applications for our UniVane devices. In the event Parker is unsuccessful in their efforts to manufacture and sell UniVane devices, we will likely be forced to cease operations. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT For each of the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we spent approximately $20,886 and $108,888, respectively, on research and development activities. Parker-Hannifin incurs additional expenses associated with its research and development activities. Since the pricing of products incorporating our technology that may be sold in the future by Parker-Hannifin will be formulated by Parker-Hannifin without our input, we do not know whether Parker-Hannifin will pass on research and development costs to its customers. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Our principal products and services currently consist of our UniVane devices and consulting services provided to Parker-Hannifin. We are also engaged in technology development unrelated to our UniVane devices. None of our principal products or services requires governmental approvals and we do not believe or anticipate that existing or probable government regulations will have a material effect on our business. To the extent that fuel cells or other 21 products developed by Parker-Hannifin are or will be subject to government regulation, or require or will require governmental approvals, Parker-Hannifin is responsible for necessary compliance and securing any necessary approvals. Our current activities do not subject us to the costs or effects of compliance with environmental laws, rules or regulations. To the extent that these laws, rules or regulations are applicable to the activities of Parker-Hannifin, the costs and effects are borne by Parker-Hannifin. COMPETITION For reasons discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that non-lubricated compressors, such as our UniVane compressors, are more desireable than conventional lubricated compressors for incorporation into fuel cell systems. However, there are numerous manufacturers of non-lubricated compressors that can deliver air to fuel cells. Many of these manufacturers have longer operating histories than does DynEco and have far greater financial and physical resources than we do. Among the manufacturers of non-lubricated compressors are Rieschle Thomas, Becker Pumps Corporation,Gast Manufacturing and Dresser Roots. We believe that our UniVane compresssors offer the significant advantage over conventional non-lubricated compressors that have proven, from the standpoint of fuel cell use, to be relatively inefficient, and of limited longevity and reliability. This is the case primarily because the moving parts of conventional non-lubricated compressors rub against one another, thus invoking significant friction and wear. Various types of fans or blowers are used in some fuel cell designs, but because fans cannot develop significant pressure, fuel cells must be larger, therefore, generally more expensive. We believe that it will remain difficult for conventional devices to compete effectively with our non-contact UniVane devices. We also believe that the strength of the Parker-Hannifin Corporation name will, through our license agreement with them, provide product development, manufacturing and marketing capabilities that we would otherwise be unable to assemble, so as to permit our UniVane devices to be successfully developed and marketed. However, for this reason, we are dependent upon Parker-Hannifin to continue to devote its resources to developing our UniVane devices, and, there is no assurance that Parker-Hannifin will not identify devices competitive with our UniVane devices and choose to develop fuel cells and other products with their, and not our, devices. In that event, we will likely be forced to cease operations. To the extent that we develop non-fuel cell applications for our UniVane devices, we will also compete with manufacturers and distributors of conventional lubricated, as well as non-lubricated compressors. Many manufacturers of lubricated compressors have longer operating histories and greater financial and physical resources than we do. While the manufacture and distribution of non-fuel cell products using our UniVane devices will be subject to our license agreement with Parker-Hannifin, and, therefore, we will have the benefit of their manufacturing and marketing capabilities, Parker-Hannifin may chose to incorporate the lubricated compressors of other companies in their products, rather than ours. There is no assurance that we can become a competitive force in the market for lubricated compressors. PROPERTY We lease approximately 4,296 square feet of space at 564 International Place, Rockledge, FL 32955, under a verbal lease with an unaffiliated lessor. We 22 pay rent of $1,500 per month, and make payments for our use of electricity directly to the power company. The space is used as our corporate offices and as a laboratory/shop facility. We are advised that the landlord is seeking to sell the premises and the landlord has verbally agreed to provide us with 30-60 days' notice if we are required to move. We do not anticipate difficulty in relocating to comparable facilities should we be required to relocate. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor are we aware of any legal proceedings being contemplated against us by any governmental authority. We are not aware of any legal proceeding in which any of our officers, directors, affiliates or security holders is a party adverse to us or in which any of them have a material interest adverse to us. EMPLOYEES As of the date of this prospectus, we employed four persons on a full-time basis, consisting of our chief executive officer/president and engineer, office manager, facility manager and designer/model maker. We also employ one person on a part-time/as-needed basis as our electronics expert. None of our employees is a party to a collective bargaining agreement and relationships with our employees are believed to be good.

2001 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN In October 2001, our board of directors authorized and approved the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan. The plan was approved and ratified by our shareholders on October 25, 2001. Under the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, we have reserved a total of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock bonuses and rights to purchase awarded from time-to-time, to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. The 2001 Equity Incentive Plan is currently administered by our board of directors. Under the plan, the board determines which of our employees, officers, directors and consultants are to be granted awards, as well as the material terms if each award, including whether options are to be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Subject to the provisions of the plan, and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to incentive stock options, the board determines who shall receive awards, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the awards, the time and manner of exercise of options and exercise prices. At its discretion, the board also determines the form of consideration to be received upon exercise and may permit the exercise price of options granted under the plan to be paid in whole or in part with previously acquired shares and/or the surrender of options. The term of options granted under the stock option plan may not exceed ten years, or five years for an incentive stock option granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of our voting stock. The exercise price for incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock at the time the option is granted. However, incentive stock options granted to a 10% holder of our voting stock may not be exercisable at less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price for non-qualified options will be set by the board, in its discretion, but in no event shall the exercise price be less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Absent registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom, shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of options or as restricted stock awards will be subject to restrictions on sale or transfer. As of the date of this prospectus, no options to purchase shares have been granted or are outstanding under the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan. 1993 CORPORATE STOCK OPTION PLAN In May 1993, our board of directors authorized and approved the 1993 Corporate Stock Option Plan. The plan was approved and ratified by our shareholders on March 31, 1994. Under the 1993 Corporate Stock Option Plan, we have reserved a total of 750,000 shares of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of stock options granted, from time-to-time, to our officers, directors, and employees. 26 The Corporate Stock Option Plan is currently administered by our board of directors. Under the plan, the board determines which of our employees, officers and directors are to be granted options. The committee or board determines whether options are to be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Subject to the provisions of the plan, and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to incentive stock options, the board determines who shall receive options, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased under the options, the time and manner of exercise of options and exercise prices. At its discretion, the board also determines the form of consideration to be received and may permit the exercise price of options granted under the plan to be paid in whole or in part with previously acquired shares and/or the surrender of options. The term of options granted under the stock option plan may not exceed ten years, or five years for an incentive stock option granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of our voting stock. The exercise price for incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock at the time the option is granted. However, incentive stock options granted to a 10% holder of our voting stock may not be exercisable at less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price for non-qualified options will be set by the board, in its discretion, but in no event shall the exercise price be less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Absent registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom, shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of options will be subject to restrictions on sale or transfer.

As of the date of this prospectus, options to purchase 200,000 shares had been granted and are outstanding under the 1993 Advisors Stock Option Plan. 27 OTHER PLANS Other plans includes equity compensation plans not approved by shareholders. These plans are comprised of options granted and/or warrants issued to employees and non-employees, including directors, consultants, advisers, suppliers, vendors, customers and lenders for purposes including to provide continued incentives, as compensation for services and/or to satisfy outstanding indebtedness to them. To date, we have issued options covering 4,370,036 shares of our common stock and warrants covering 2,643,120 shares of our common stock under equity plans not approved by shareholders. The options have exercise prices ranging from $.10 per share to $.38 per share and expiration dates ranging from January 2006 to November 2008. The warrants are exercisable at $.18 per share and expire on June 30, 2006, except that warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares expire on November 30, 2005. The grants of these options were approved on a case-by-case basis by the board of directors, and are within the limits of the number of shares that we are authorized to issue. The grant of these options and warrants were not authorized by our shareholders. We may, in the future, authorize the grant of additional options and/or issuance of additional warrants for the foregoing purposes and other valid corporate purposes.

Edwards, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer -0- $-0- 2,017,384/0 $0/$0 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS Section 302A.521, subdivision 2, of the Minnesota Statutes requires DynEco to indemnify a person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person with respect to DynEco, against judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions if such person (1) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties or fines; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no improper personal benefit, and statutory procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest by a director; (4) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5) in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person's performance in the official capacity of director or, for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer, board committee member or employee, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of DynEco, or, in the case of performance by a 28 director, officer or employee of DynEco involving service as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another organization or employee benefit plan, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of DynEco. In addition, Section 302A.521, subdivision 3, requires payment by DynEco, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of the proceeding in certain instances. A decision as to required indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the board of directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of the board, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders, or by a court. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling DynEco pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS Effective January 1, 2004, we entered into an Exclusive Patent and Know-How License Agreement with Thomas C. Edwards, Ph.D., our president and chief executive officer. The license agreement is more fully described elsewhere in this prospectus. The license agreement superceded and replaced the 2002 license agreement with Dr. Edwards. During each of the two years ended December 31, 2002, we neither accrued nor made any payments to Dr. Edwards under either of the license agreements. See "Business - License Agreement with Dr. Thomas C. Edwards." On December 11, 2003, we issued 200,000 shares of common stock to each of Kevin S. Hooper and Leonard Sculler, as consideration for their services as directors, valued at the contemporaneous cash sales price of $.12 per share. On April 27, 2004, we issued 200,000 shares of common stock to George R. Schell, as consideration for his services as a director, valued at $.12 per share. PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS The following table sets forth information known to us as of the date of this prospectus relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by: o each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our outstanding common stock; o each director; o each executive officer; and o all executive officers and directors as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner in the table set forth below is care of DynEco Corporation, 564 International Place, Rockledge, Florida 32955. We believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as being owned by them. Under securities laws, a person is considered to be the beneficial owner of securities owned by him (or certain persons whose ownership is attributed to him) and that can be acquired by him within 60 days from the date of this Report, including upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible 29 securities. We determine a beneficial owner's percentage ownership by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by him, but not those held by any other person, and which are exercisable within 60 days of the date of this prospectus, have been exercised or converted. The table is based on 33,112,978 shares currently outstanding. Except as otherwise required by SEC rules relating to beneficial ownership, the table does not give effect to the issuance of up to: o 4,813,169 shares upon exercise of options that have been granted; or o 15,885,120 shares in the event of exercise of outstanding warrants.

Our authorized capital consists of 80,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, 33,112,978 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. COMMON STOCK Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share, on a ratable basis, such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds, legally available therefore. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment to creditors, our assets will be divided pro rata on a per share basis among the holders of our common stock. Each share of common stock entitles the holders thereof to one vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors. Our By-Laws require that only a majority of our issued and outstanding shares need be represented to constitute a quorum and to transact business at a stockholders' meeting. Our common stock has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and is not redeemable by us. PREFERRED STOCK We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, having such designations, rights, preferences, powers and limitations as may be determined by the board of directors at the time of designation. No preferred stock has yet been designated or issued, and we have no plans to issue any preferred stock at this time or in the near future. COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS There are currently outstanding common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,885,120 shares of our common stock. The warrants were issued in connection with equity financing transactions, as well as to employees and non-employees, including directors, consultants, advisers, suppliers, vendors, customers and lenders for purposes including to provide continued incentives, as compensation for services and/or to satisfy outstanding indebtedness to them. The warrants are exercisable at $.18 per share and expire on June 30, 2006, except that warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares expire on November 30, 2005. We are entitled to call warrants to purchase 11,835,120 shares of common stock, on ten days' prior written notice in the event that our common stock (a) is included for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or any Nasdaq quotation system and (b) the closing bid price of our common stock is $.27 or more for 20 consecutive trading days. Any callable warrants not exercised prior to expiration of the ten day period shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect. TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR 31 TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, Inc., 350 Indiana Street, Suite 800, Golden, CO 80401. Our transfer agent may be reached by telephone at 303-262-0600. SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS BACKGROUND OF THE TRANSACTIONS This prospectus covers the resale of 8,175,000 shares of our common stock issued or issuable in connection with the following transactions: On November 18, 2003, we completed the sale and issuance of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 4,000,000 additional shares of common stock to Centaurus Capital Corp., an off-shore investor, for a purchase price of $ 232,500 net of $7,500 in offering expenses. The warrants are exercisable until November 30, 2005, at an exercise price of $.18 per share. Centaurus has advised us that in connection with its acquisition of the shares and warrants on November 18, 2003, it was acting as nominee for three persons with respect to 1,500,000 shares of common stock. On August 8, 2004, the nominee relationship between Centaurus and the three persons was terminated and the 1,500,000 shares were reissued to Blaine Schmidt (as to 400,000 shares), Avonlea Homes Investments Ltd (as to 600,000 shares) and Corporate Capital Group Int'l (as to 500,000 shares). On March 24, 2004, Centaurus Capital Corp. privately transferred warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Sausilito Ltd., an unrelated off-shore investor. We are advised that there are no direct or indirect affiliates between any of Centaurus Capital Corporation, Sausilito Ltd., Blaine Schmidt, Avonlea Homes Investments Ltd. and Corporate Capital Group Int'l. Resale of the common shares and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are covered by this prospectus. On August 17, 2004, we entered into an Amended and Restated Business and Advisory Consulting Agreement with MBN Consulting, LLC. The agreement replaces and supercedes a consulting agreement dated November 10, 2003 between DynEco and MBN. Under the amended and restated agreement, MBN has agreed to (a) advise us with respect to the implementation of short and long range strategic planning to fully develop and enhance DynEco's assets, resources, products and services, (b) serving as liaison between DynEco and its shareholders; and providing such investor relations services as we may request, (c) identifying and providing advice and consultation in the areas of strategic alliances and business combinations, including mergers and acquisitions; and preparation for and attendance at meetings and conferences relating thereto, (d) arranging meetings between representatives of DynEco and members of the investment community at which presentations concerning DynEco and its business operations may be discussed; (e) providing advice and consultation relating to internal business operations including (i) advice regarding the formation of corporate goals and their implementation, advice regarding the financial structure of DynEco and its divisions or subsidiaries, (iii) advice regarding the securing of debt and/or equity financing and (iv) advice regarding corporate organization and personnel, (e) serving as liaison between DynEco and its legal and accounting advisors, and (f) providing such other services as may be mutually agreed upon by DynEco and MBN. For its services, MBN is entitled to a monthly fee of $3,000, for a period of 36 months terminating November 10, 2006. The monthly fees shall accrue commencing September 1, 2004 and shall be payable 32 commencing upon our receipt of combined equity and debt funding from any sources in an amount of at least $750,000 (of which the parties have agreed that $250,000 has been received). Under the original consulting agreement, MBN also received 2,000,000 shares of our common stock as consideration for advising DynEco in connection with restructuring its board of directors; providing advice and consultation prior to and in connection with DynEco's relationship with Parker-Hannifin Corporation, including the May 2003 License Agreement; serving as liaison to DynEco's shareholders and providing investor relations services; serving as DynEco's liaison to its financial and legal advisers; providing administrative support and services to relieve DynEco's chief executive officer of those responsibilities so that he could attend to his designated duties; and, providing advice and consultation with respect to new business development. On August 1, 2001, we entered into an agreement with Mark Vieno to perform certain legal services for us, in consideration for which we agreed to issue Mr. Vieno shares of our common stock having a value of $10,000, at the rate of $.10 per share. Our obligation to issue the shares was carried on our books as common stock issuable; however, the shares were never issued. On February 5, 2004, we agreed with Mr. Vieno to convert the 100,000 shares of common stock issuable into a five-year option, terminating August 1, 2009 and exercisable at $.10 per share, to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock. We agreed with Mr. Vieno to register the shares issuable upon exercise of the options, and that the option exercise price had been pre-paid by reason of his legal services rendered to us. On December 11, 2003, we issued 25,000 shares of our common stock and 50,000 warrants exercisable at $0.18 per share to our counsel, Schneider Weinberger LLP or persons related to it, as partial consideration for legal services rendered to us, and we agreed to register the resale of those shares, including the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, by the firm or its related parties. The foregoing transactions were completed under the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, including those afforded by Section 4(2) of that Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated under that Section. SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS The following table sets forth: o the name of each selling security holder; o the number or shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling security holder as of the date of this prospectus, giving effect to the exercise of the selling security holders' warrants; o the number of shares being offered by each selling security holder; and o the number of shares to be owned by each selling security holder following completion of this offering. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities and includes any securities which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of options, warrants, promissory notes and any other security or other right. The information as to the number of shares of our common stock owned by each selling security holder is based upon our records and information provided by our transfer agent. We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure set forth in the table. Because the selling security holders identified in the table may sell some or all of the shares owned by them which are included in this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, 33 arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares available for resale hereby that will be held by the selling security holders upon termination of the offering made hereby. We have therefore assumed, for the purposes of the following table, that the selling security holders will sell all of the shares owned by them that are being offered hereby, but will not sell any other shares of our common stock that they presently own. The shares of common stock being offered have been registered to permit public sales and the selling security holders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. All expenses of the registration of the common stock on behalf of the selling security holder are being borne by us. We will receive none of the proceeds of this offering.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE The selling security holders will offer and sell their shares of common stock covered by this prospectus at $.30 per share until our shares are quoted in the over-the-counter market or on an exchange, and thereafter, at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The initial offering price of $.30 per share was determined arbitrarily and bears no relationship to assets, revenues, book value or other established criteria of value. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The selling security holders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; o privately negotiated transactions; o settlement of short sales; o broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; o a combination of any such methods of sale; and o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 35 The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling security holders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for us or a selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter markets or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares, commissions as described above. In the event that shares are resold to any broker-dealer, as principal, who is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, identifying the broker-dealer(s), providing required information relating to the plan of distribution and filing any agreement(s) with such broker-dealer(s) as an exhibit. The involvement of a broker-dealer as an underwriter in the offering will require prior clearance of the terms of underwriting compensation and arrangements from the Corporate Finance Department of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The selling security holders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares or common stock or warrants owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424 (b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling security holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest as selling security holders under this prospectus. The selling security holders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. The selling security holders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling security holders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. 36 SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE As of the date of this prospectus, we had 33,112,978 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Of the issued and outstanding shares, approximately 18,280,739 shares of our common stock (4,255,077 of which are owned by our officers, directors and principal stockholders) have been held for in excess of one year and will be available for public resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act commencing 90 days following the date of this prospectus. As of the date of this prospectus, the 8,175,000 shares being offered by selling security holders can be publicly transferred. Not included in the foregoing are 4,713,369 shares issuable upon exercise of other options that have been granted and 15,885,120 shares issuable on exercise of outstanding warrants. They may be resold by their holders as long as they are covered by a current registration statement or under an available exemption from registration. In general, Rule 144 permits a shareholder who has owned restricted shares for at least one year, to sell without registration, within a three month period, up to one percent of our then outstanding common stock. We must be current in our reporting obligations in order for a shareholder to sell shares under Rule 144. In addition, shareholders other than our officers, directors or 5% or greater shareholders who have owned their shares for at least two years may sell them without volume limitation or the need for our reports to be current. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of common stock or the availability of these shares for sale will have on the market price of the shares from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market could adversely affect market prices for the common stock and could damage our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities. LEGAL MATTERS The legality of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Dean R. Edstrom, Esq., Attorney-at-Law Professional Association, Minneapolis, Minnesota, who is acting as special Minnesota counsel solely for the purpose of opining as to the validity of the securities. Schneider Weinberger & Beilly LLP, Boca Raton, Florida, will review other matters for us relating to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Members of Schneider Weinberger & Beilly LLP and their affiliates own an aggregate of 75,000 shares of our common stock, including 50,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants, the resale of which is covered by this prospectus.

DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States of America Securities and Exchange Commission for interim consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of consolidated financial position and results of operations. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair consolidated financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2003 included in the Company's Form SB-2. NOTE 2 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS DynEco Corporation and Subsidiary ("DynEco" or the "Company") is engaged primarily in developing and commercializing patented air and hydrogen compressors, known collectively as UniVanetm devices, for stationary and automotive fuel cells. During 2004, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, DynEco International, Inc., was inactive. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has three stock-based compensation plans. There were no grants during the six months ended June 30, 2004 The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES," and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the excess of the current market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price. Such compensation amounts are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income during 2003 and 2002, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION," and SFAS No. 148 "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION - TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE," which permits entities to provide pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma earnings (loss) per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-valued based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company accounts for stock options or warrants issued to non-employees for goods or services in accordance with the fair value method of SFAS 123. Under this method, the Company records an expense equal to the fair value of the options or warrants issued. The fair value is computed using an options pricing model. F-5 The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation as of June 30: 2004 2003 --------- --------- Net loss, as reported .................................. $(159,497) $(226,253) Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects ........................................ - - --------- --------- Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense, determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects ................. - - --------- --------- Proforma net loss ...................................... $(159,497) $(226,253) ========= ========= Basic and diluted per share information: Net loss per share, as reported .................... $ (.01) $ (.01) ========= ========= Net loss per share, pro forma ...................... $ (.01) $ (.01) ========= ========= CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable arose principally from consulting contract revenues with Parker-Hannifin Corporation in 2004, from the sale of developmental compressor products to the Company's customer base consisting of businesses in the stationary and automotive fuel cell industries located throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition, and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company's credit losses are subject to general economic conditions of the emerging fuel cell industry. At June 30, 2004, $25,000 or 93% of the accounts receivable balance was due from one customer. The Company also recognizes $152,641 or 98% in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the same customer. BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE: Basic net income (loss) per common share (Basic EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share (Diluted EPS) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock, such as convertible notes, were exercised or converted into common stock. At June 30, 2004, there were approximately 20,970,000 shares potentially convertible as common stock equivalents outstanding, which may dilute future earnings per share. There is no calculation of fully diluted earnings per share in 2004 due to the Company reporting a net loss and the exercise or conversion of common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. NOTE 3 CONTINUED EXISTENCE AND MANAGEMENT'S PLAN The Company has a net loss of $159,497 and net cash used in operations of $114,805 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a working capital deficiency of $554,601, accumulated deficit of $7,859,802, and a stockholders' deficiency of $475,170 at June 30, 2004. Additionally, the Company was in default of the repayment terms on notes payable aggregating $35,000 at June 30, 2004 and no extension had been granted by the debt holders. F-6 Currently, there have been no actions taken by the debt holders to foreclose since the notes were unsecured. The Company plans to settle the balance owing on these notes payable through issuance of common stock in 2004. Because the Company's developmental contracts generate insufficient operating capital and given these financial results along with the Company's expected cash requirements in 2004, additional capital investment will be necessary to develop and sustain the Company's operations. In February 2004, the Company initiated a public registration of 8,175,000 shares of common stock, comprised of 4,175,000 for shares outstanding and 4,000,000 for shares issuable to warrant holders at an exercise price of $.18 per share. Management believes that its plans will allow for adequate funding of the Company's cash requirements through December 31, 2004, although no assurance regarding this belief nor the success of these efforts can be provided at this time. In the event that management's plans as described above are not successful, the Company may be required to delay or curtail its fuel cell compressor development and commercialization programs or be forced to further reduce its present operations. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments, which might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. NOTE 4 NOTES PAYABLE The Company repaid $989 of notes payable during the six months ended June 30, 2004. NOTE 5 CAPITAL LEASES The Company repaid $10,641 of capital leases during the six months ended June 30, 2004. NOTE 6 STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY During January 2004, 30,000 stock options expired. On February 5, 2004, the Company settled an outstanding legal services agreement from August 1, 2001, in which the holder was owed $10,000 payable with 100,000 shares of issuable common stock, which had been reflected in the Company's records as common stock issuable. In February 2004, the Company granted a stock option in lieu of issuing shares. Under the terms of the option, which expires August 1, 2006, the holder could exercise an option to purchase 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $.10 per share. The Company has determined that the exercise price has been pre-paid but the option has not been exercised as of the balance sheet date. As a result of this exchange of one equity instrument for another, there is no additional compensation expense pursuant to the rules of SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, $1,000 was reclassified from common stock issuable to additional paid-in capital. On June 29, 2004, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock having a fair value of $24,000 to its Chairman of the Board of Directors for services rendered. The shares were valued at $0.12 per share, which reflects recent cash offering prices of the Company's common stock since the Company is not yet publicly trading its common stock (See Note 7). NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT: On January 1, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an individual acting as the Company's Chief Technical Officer and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the agreement, the individual will receive a salary as follows: F-7 Year ended December 31, ----------------------- 2004 $ 60,000 2005 $ 70,000 2006 $ 80,000 2007 $ 90,000 2008 $100,000 TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT: During February 2004, the Company was granted an exclusive license to utilize certain compressor technology, which includes the current UniVanetm technology, developed by the current Chief Executive Officer in exchange for future royalty payments based on the underlying technology-producing income. The Company is obligated to pay the officer/director quarterly royalties equal to one percent of sales of related products and sublicensed products and ten percent of any royalty income received from sublicense agreements. The agreement expires in December 2009, or upon six months written notice by the Company. As of June 30, 2004, no payments are due under the terms of the License Agreement. On June 29, 2004, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock having a fair value of $24,000 to its Chairman of the Board of Directors for services rendered (See Note 6). F-8 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of: DynEco Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DynEco Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DynEco Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $598,889 and net cash used in operations of $285,805 in 2003, a working capital deficiency of $421,551, accumulated deficit of $7,700,305, and a stockholders' deficiency of $339,673 at December 31, 2003. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to this matter is also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. SALBERG & COMPANY, P.A.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-13 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business DynEco Corporation and Subsidiary ("DynEco" or the "Company") is engaged primarily in developing and commercializing patented air and hydrogen compressors, known collectively as UniVanetm devices, for stationary and automotive fuel cells. During 2003 and 2002, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, DynEco International, Inc., was inactive. Principles of Consolidation: For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the financial statements include the accounts of DynEco Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DynEco International, Inc. All references to "the Company" in these financial statements relate to the consolidated entity. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about the future outcome of current transactions which may affect the reporting and disclosure of these transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements. Significant estimates in 2003 and 2002 include an estimate of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable, amortization period on patent rights, valuation of patent rights, depreciable lives on equipment and valuation of stock based compensation. Cash and cash Equivalents: For the purpose of the cash flow statement, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable: The Company believes that all accounts receivable are fully collectible as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded. If management becomes aware of collectability issues, based on a specific identification basis due to the low quantity of customers, an appropriate amount will be reserved and charged to operations when that determination is made. Inventory: Materials inventory is recorded at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Inventory on hand as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $0 and $1,500, respectively. F-14 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 Property and Equipment: Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and is expensed based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets which ranges from three to seven years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Patent Rights: Patent rights consist of the costs incurred to obtain patent rights associated with compressor technology. Patent rights are amortized using the straight-line method over their seventeen to twenty year life commencing upon patent issuance and the generation of revenues utilizing the underlying technology. The Company reviews its patent rights for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows of the patent rights are less than their carrying amounts, their carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. The Company recorded and charged to operations impairment losses of $0 and $144,930, relating to patent rights, for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets: The Company reviews other long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets related to those assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows of the long-lived assets are less than their carrying amounts, their carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. Stock-Based Compensation: The Company has three stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 8. The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES," and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the excess of the current market price of the underlying stock over the exercise price. Such compensation amounts are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income during 2003 and 2002, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION," and SFAS No. 148 "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION - TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE," which permits entities to provide pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma earnings (loss) per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-valued based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company accounts for stock options or warrants issued to non-employees for goods or services in accordance with the fair value method of SFAS 123. Under this method, the Company records an expense equal to the fair value of the options or warrants issued. The fair value is computed using an options pricing model. F-15 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation as of December 31: 2003 2002 ---------- --------- Net loss, as reported ................................. $ (598,889) $(522,785) Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects ....................................... - - ---------- --------- Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense, determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects ................ - (4,000) ---------- --------- Proforma net loss ..................................... $ (598,889) (526,785) ========== ========= Basic and diluted per share information: Net loss per share, as reported ................... $ (.02) $ (.02) ========== ========= Net loss per share, pro forma ..................... $ (.02) $ (.02) ========== ========= Revenue Recognition: The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company: The Company had two sources of revenues totaling $176,500 during the year ended December 31, 2003; compressor revenues and contract consulting revenue. Compressor revenues totaled $1,500 for 2003 and represented the sale of two compressors. In 2003, sales revenues for customer orders of compressors are recognized at the time of order completion, defined as when all Company manufacturing and internal inspection obligations related to that order have been satisfied. This occurs upon order shipment. Contract consulting revenue totaled $175,000 for 2003 and related to the Parker-Hannifin ("Parker") agreement stipulating a monthly fee of $25,000 per month starting in June 2003. Contract consulting revenue is recognized for service contracts at the time of satisfaction of all obligations pursuant to the underlying contract. In 2002, sales revenues totaled $132,883. Revenues were for customer orders and were recognized at the time of order completion, defined as when all Company manufacturing and internal inspection obligations related to that order have been satisfied. This occurs upon order shipment. F-16 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Statement 109"). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period, which includes the enactment date. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share: Basic net income (loss) per common share (Basic EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share (Diluted EPS) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock, such as convertible notes, were exercised or converted into common stock. At December 31, 2003, there were approximately 21,000,000 shares potentially convertible as common stock equivalents outstanding, which may dilute future earnings per share. There is no calculation of fully diluted earnings per share in 2003 or 2002 due to the Company reporting a net loss and the exercise or conversion of common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable arise principally from consulting contract revenues with Parker-Hannifin Corporation in 2003 (Note 7), and in 2002, from the sale of developmental compressor products to the Company's customer base consisting of businesses in the stationary and automotive fuel cell industries located throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition, and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company's credit losses are subject to general economic conditions of the emerging fuel cell industry. At December 31, 2003, the entire accounts receivable balance was due from one customer and was subsequently collected in full in 2004. The Company maintains one bank account, which is insured by the FDIC up to $100,000. The amount in excess of the insured limit was $106,281 as of December 31, 2003. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. F-17 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and capital leases. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair values for notes payable and capital leases are not readily available, but the carrying values are believed to approximate fair value. Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the year 2002 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the year 2003 consolidated presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements: The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently issued several new accounting pronouncements, which may apply, to the Company. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149; AMENDMENT OF STATEMENT 133 ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("SFAS 149") which provides for certain changes in the accounting treatment of derivative contracts. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain provisions that relate to SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, which should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. The guidance should be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY ("SFAS 150"). This new statement changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. It requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in balance sheets. Most of the guidance in SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "GUARANTOR'S ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING INDIRECT GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS OF OTHERS" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity's product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for the Company for financial statements of interim periods beginning July 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. F-18 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES" ("FIN 46"), as amended by FIN46(R), which represents an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 ("ARB 51"), "CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS". ARB 51 requires that a Company's financial statements include subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. That requirement usually has been applied to subsidiaries in which the Company has a majority voting interest. However, the voting interest approach is not effective in identifying controlling financial interests in entities (referred to as " variable interest entities") that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks. FIN 46 provides guidance on identifying variable interest entities and on assessing whether a Company's investment in a variable interest entity requires consolidation thereof. As amended by FIN 46(R), this interpretation is effective by the end of the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003 for small business issuers that have special purpose entities and after December 15, 2004 for all other types of variable interest entities. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLAN The Company has a net loss of $598,889 and net cash used in operations of $285,805 in 2003, a working capital deficiency of $421,551, accumulated deficit of $7,700,305, and a stockholders' deficiency of $339,673 at December 31, 2003. Additionally, the Company was in default of the repayment terms on notes payable aggregating $35,000 at December 31, 2003 and no extension had been granted by the debt holders. Currently, there have been no actions taken by the debt holders to foreclose since the notes were unsecured. The Company plans to settle the balance owing on these notes payable through issuance of common stock in 2004. Because the Company's developmental contracts generate insufficient operating capital and given these financial results along with the Company's expected cash requirements in 2004, additional capital investment will be necessary to develop and sustain the Company's operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In February 2004, the Company has initiated a public registration of 8,175,000 shares of common stock, comprised of 4,175,000 for shares outstanding and 4,000,000 for shares issuable to warrant holders upon future exercise at an exercise price of $.18 per share. Management believes that its plans will allow for adequate funding of the Company's cash requirements through December 31, 2004, although no assurance regarding this belief nor the success of these efforts can be provided at this time. In the event that management's plans as described above are not successful, the Company may be required to delay or curtail its fuel cell compressor development and commercialization programs or be forced to further reduce its present operations. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments, which might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. NOTE 3: PATENT RIGHTS Patent rights are licensed from an officer/director (Notes 7 and 12) and consisted of the following at December 31: F-19 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 Estimated Useful Life 2003 2002 In Years -------- -------- ----------- Patent Rights ................... $215,504 $189,227 17-20 Less accumulated amortization .. (63,831) (50,733) -------- -------- Patent rights, net .............. $151,673 $138,494 ======== ======== Amortization expense was $13,099 in 2003 and $30,139 in 2002. Future patent rights amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $13,000 per year for the subsequent five-year period commencing in 2004. During the years ending December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0 and $144,930, respectively for discontinued patented technology, net of accumulated amortization of $0 and $97,058, respectively concerning non-UniVanetm product devices and applications. Due to uncertainties inherent in the analysis of future events regarding technological advancements concerning the Company's patent rights, and with the developing fuel cell industry, it is reasonably possible that the actual fair market value of the Company's patent rights, or its future cash flows related to the patented technology may ultimately be proven to be less than the Company's recorded value of patent rights as of December 31, 2003. As a result, the carrying value of the patent rights may be required to be reduced further, possibly by a material amount, in the near term. NOTE 4: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31: Estimated Useful Life 2003 2002 In Years --------- --------- ----------- Machinery and equipment ......... $ 148,114 $ 126,985 3-10 Equipment under capital lease ... 95,999 111,398 7 Office furniture and equipment .. 57,865 55,980 3-10 Leasehold improvements .......... 4,615 4,615 5 --------- --------- Total property and equipment .... 306,593 298,978 Less accumulated depreciation ...

In consideration of the funding, the Company is obligated to make royalty payments to TRDA equal to five percent of future UniVanetm-related sales up to an amount equal to three times the amount DynEco receives from TRDA. During 2003, the entire $150,000 funding commitment was received. The agreement expires in November 2012 (See Notes 7 and 12). Pursuant to EITF No. 88-18 "SALE OF FUTURE REVENUES", the Company will record the funding as a current liability and in connection with APB No. 21 "INTEREST ON RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES," will accrete interest to the maximum value of $450,000 through the November 2012 expiration date. At December 31, 2003, in connection with the accretion of interest, the Company charged $17,418 to interest expense.

The Company plans to settle the balance owing on these notes payable through issuance of common stock in 2004. During 2002, the Company issued a $127,179 note payable to refinance $127,179 of accounts payable to a vendor/shareholder. This note bears interest at 5%. Additionally, in 2002, the Company issued 1,041,560 shares of common stock valued at $125,000 and 2,083,120 warrants to purchase common stock at $.18 per share (Note 8), in settlement of $125,000 of notes payable. F-21 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 NOTE 6: OBLIGATION UNDER CAPITAL LEASE The Company leases certain machinery and office equipment under non-cancelable capital leases with various expiration dates through October 2005.

(21,881) -------- Present value of net minimum lease payments ..... $ 18,785 ======== NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Edwards Technology License Agreement: In 1992, the Company was granted an exclusive license to utilize certain compressor technology, which includes the current UniVanetm technology, developed by a current officer/director in exchange for 2,200,000 shares of Company common stock and future royalty payments based on non-UniVanetm technology application income. The Company is obligated to pay the officer/director royalties equal to one percent of sales of non-UniVanetm related products and sublicensed products and ten percent of any non-UniVanetm royalty income received from sublicense agreements. The agreement expires in fifteen years from the 1992 agreement date, or if the technology is not utilized, when the last underlying patent expires. In the event that the patent rights expire or become unenforceable, the Company has the right to discontinue any future royalty payments and to repurchase all of the remaining Company common stock held by the officer/director at $.50 per share. This agreement was amended in February 2004 (Note 12). Technological Research and Development Authority Funding Agreement: See Notes 5(A) and 12. Parker-Hannifin Exclusive Worldwide License Agreement and Consulting Agreement: During May 2003, the Company granted an exclusive worldwide license agreement to Parker to manufacture and market the Company's UniVanetm air compressors and hydrogen circulators. In consideration of the license, Parker is obligated to pay the Company a royalty fee on a quarterly basis. The royalty rate ranges from 15% of the licensed technology's net sales for the first 50 units sold on an annual basis to 6% for units sold in excess of 10,000 annually. Beginning in 2007, the minimum annual royalty fee is $100,000. If units sold are insufficient to reach the minimum annual royalty, Parker has the right to remit the difference or the Agreement converts to a non-exclusive license. This Agreement expires at the later date of either the last licensed UniVanetm patent expiration, or the final use of UniVanetm -related technology by Parker-Hannifin. F-22 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 Additionally in June 2003, the Company entered into a product consulting agreement with Parker. In exchange for continued product development and engineering services from the Company, Parker is obligated to pay a monthly fee of $25,000 for the first year of service. In June 2004, the consulting agreement continues on a month-to-month basis and can be cancelled at Parker's sole discretion. Significant Customers, Suppliers, and Other Concentrations: During 2003, the Company received revenues from one significant customer which represented 99.14% of net sales. In 2002, the Company received revenues from three significant customers which represented 62.3%, 23.6% and 11.5%, respectively, of 2002 net sales. During 2003, there were no significant suppliers. During 2002, the Company purchased materials from two unrelated suppliers representing 63.4% and 30.8% of total material purchases during the year. As of December 31, 2003, the Company's business is dependent upon three U.S. patents along with several related foreign patents and foreign patents pending. All patents issued and pending were issued in the name of a current officer/director of the Company, which the Company licenses from the officer/director pursuant to the terms of a Technology License Agreement (Notes 7 and 12). Litigation: In 2001, a party commenced a legal action against the Company to collect for damages allegedly sustained to the party's property which was in the Company's possession during a 1999 compressor installation. The complaint seeks to recover damages incurred to the property approximating $13,500 plus interest and legal fees. The Company has answered this complaint by submitting an invoice for approximately $20,000 for costs associated with air conditioning system repair, installation and testing. As of December 31, 2003, this matter has not been resolved, but it is management's opinion that the expected outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

At December 31, 2002, there were no amounts due to this related supplier. Patent rights are licensed from an officer/director of the Company (Notes 3, 7 and 12). NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate varies from the maximum federal statutory rate as a result of the following items: 2003 2002 -------- ------- Tax benefit computed at the maximum federal statutory rate .................... (34.0)% (34.0)% Net (increase) decrease due to various basis differences in assets and liabilities (.2) 12.0 Net operating loss carryforward .............. 34.2 22.0 ------- ------- Income tax provision ......................... - % - % ======= ======= F-26 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 The tax effect of temporary differences at December 31 were as follows: 2003 2002 ----------- ----------- Asset: Net operating loss carryforward ... $ 2,887,000 $ 2,707,000 Other individually immaterial items 110,000 111,000 ----------- ----------- Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance ................ 2,997,000 2,818,000 Less valuation allowance ............. (2,997,000) (2,818,000) ----------- ----------- Net deferred tax asset ............... $ - $ - =========== =========== For financial statement purposes, no tax benefit has been reported in 2003 or 2002 as the Company has had significant losses since inception and realization of the tax benefits is uncertain. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of the deferred tax asset. The change in the valuation allowance was an increase of $179,000 in 2003 and an increase of $39,000 in 2002. At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards as follows for income tax purposes: Carryforward Net Operating Expires December 31 Loss Carryforwards ------------------- ------------------ 2004 $ 522,000 2005 550,000 2006 206,000 2007 236,000 2008 274,000 2009 716,000 2010 1,110,000 2011 1,718,000 2012 1,017,000 2018 436,000 2019 392,000 2020 195,000 2021 180,000 2022 337,000 2023 603,000 ----------- $ 8,492,000 =========== The utilization of the carryforwards is dependent upon the ability to generate sufficient taxable income during the carryforward period. In addition, utilization of these carryforwards may be limited due to ownership changes as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Furthermore, carryforwards relating to DynEco International, Inc., prior to its March 31, 1994 acquisition (approximately $400,000) are subject to separate return limitation regulations. NOTE 11: GAIN ON DEBT SETTLEMENT In 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized a gain of $37,471 and $46,244, respectively, related to a settlement of accounts payable for $7,800 in 2003 (See Note 8) and various statutory expirations of accounts payable totaling $29,671 and $46,244 in 2002 and 2003, respectively. F-27 DYNECO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 NOTE 12: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Edwards Employment Agreement On January 1, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an individual acting as the Company's Chief Technical Officer and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the agreement, the individual will receive a salary as follows: Year ended December 31, ----------------------- 2004 $60,000 2005 $70,000 2006 $80,000 2007 $90,000 2008 $100,000 Edwards Technology License Agreement Amendment: During February 2004, the Company was granted an exclusive license to utilize certain compressor technology, which includes the current UniVanetm technology, developed by a current officer/director in exchange for future royalty payments based on the underlying technology-producing income. The Company is obligated to pay the officer/director quarterly royalties equal to one percent of sales of related products and sublicensed products and ten percent of any royalty income received from sublicense agreements. The agreement expires in December 2009, or upon six months written notice by the Company. During January 2004, 30,000 stock options expired. On February 5, 2004, the Company settled an outstanding legal services agreement from August 1, 2001, in which the holder was owed $10,000 payable with 100,000 shares of issuable common stock which had been reflected in the Company's records as common stock issuable. In February 2004, the Company granted a stock option in lieu of issuing shares. Under the terms of the option, which expires August 1, 2006, the holder could exercise an option to purchase 100,000 shares with an exercise price of $.10 per share. The Company has determined that the exercise price has been pre-paid but the option has not been exercised as of the balance sheet date. As a result of this exchange of one equity instrument for another, there is no additional compensation expense pursuant to the rules of SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, $1,000 was reclassified from common stock issuable to additional paid-in capital. On April 27, 2004, the Company issued a Director 200,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services rendered. Shares of common stock issued for payment of services received are valued at the stated share price actually received in the respective year's private placement offerings. During 2003 and 2002, the stated share price received was $.12.

Section 302A.521, subdivision 2, of the Minnesota Statutes requires DynEco to indemnify a person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person with respect to DynEco, against judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions if such person (1) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties or fines; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no improper personal benefit, and statutory procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest by a director; (4) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5) in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person's performance in the official capacity of director or, for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer, board committee member or employee, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of DynEco, or, in the case of performance by a director, officer or employee of DynEco involving service as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another organization or employee benefit plan, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of DynEco. In addition, Section 302A.521, subdivision 3, requires payment by DynEco, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of the proceeding in certain instances. A decision as to required indemnification is made by a disinterested majority of the board of directors present at a meeting at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of the board, by special legal counsel, by the shareholders, or by a court. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS The undersigned Registrant also undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or preceding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such. II-6 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this amendment to registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Rockledge, Florida on August 19, 2004.

The shares are classified in two classes, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of the par value of $.01 per share and 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the par value of $.01 per share. The Board of Directors is authorized to establish one or more series of Preferred Stock, setting forth the designation of each such series, and fixing the relative rights and preferences of each such series. No shareholder of this Corporation shall have any cumulative voting rights. No shareholder of this Corporation shall have any preemptive rights by virtue of Minnesota Statutes, ss. 302A.413 (or any similar provisions of future law) to subscribe for, purchase or acquire any shares of the Corporation of any class, or any obligations or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such shares, or any rights to purchase any such shares, securities or obligations. ARTICLE IV The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than three nor more than fifteen persons, who need not be shareholders. The number of directors may be increased by the shareholders or Board of Directors or decreased by the shareholders from the number of directors on the Board of Directors immediately prior to the effective date of this Article IV, provided, however, that any change in the number of directors on the Board of Directors (including, without limitation, changes at annual meetings of shareholders) shall be approved by the affirmative vote of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to vote, entitled to be cast by the holders of all then outstanding voting shares, voting together as a single class, unless such change shall have been approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors. If such change shall not have been so approved, the number of directors shall remain the same. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which the director's term expires and until a successor shall be elected and qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Removal of a director from office (including a director named by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship), with or without cause, shall require the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to vote, voting together as a single class. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, and any other vacancy 1 occurring in the Board of Directors shall be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of such director's predecessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes of preferred or preference stock issued by the corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by or pursuant to the applicable terms of the certificate of designation or other instrument creating such class or series of preferred stock, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to mis Article IV unless expressly provided by such terms. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage or separate class vote may be specified by law or these Articles of Incorporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with, this Article IV.

No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article V.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage or separate class vote may be specified by law or elsewhere in these Articles of Incorporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to vote, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with, this Article V. ARTICLE VI Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors of this Corporation not needing approval by the shareholders under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 302A, may be taken by written action signed by the number of directors that would be required to take such action at a meeting OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT WHICH all directors are present.
