F-3 PROTON LABORATORIES, INC NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Proton Laboratories, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary ("Proton" or the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In April 2004, the Company changed its name from BentleyCapitalCorp.com, Inc. to Proton Laboratories, Inc. The Company's subsidiary also changed its name from Proton Laboratories, Inc. to Water Science, Inc. CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are condensed and, therefore, do not include all disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements included in the Company's December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In particular, the Company's significant accounting principles were presented as Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in that report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2004. NATURE OF OPERATIONS - The Company's operations are located in Alameda, California. The core business of the Company consists of the sales and marketing of the Company's industrial, environmental and residential systems throughout the United States of America which alter the properties of water to produce functional water. The Company acts as an exclusive importer and master distributor of these products to various companies. Additionally, the Company formulates intellectual properties under licensing agreements, supplies consumer products, consults on projects utilizing functional water, facilitates between manufacturer and industry and acts as educators on the benefits of functional water. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of Series A convertible preferred shares and common shares outstanding to give effect to potentially issuable common shares except during loss periods when those potentially issuable shares are anti-dilutive. Potential common shares from convertible preferred stock have not been included as they are anti-dilutive. NOTE 2 - BUSINESS CONDITION The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The company has incurred losses applicable to common shareholders of $164,520 and $247,714 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficit of $121,541 and $156,505 at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Loans from the Company's president were required to fund operations. The Company is working towards raising public funds to expand its marketing and revenues. The Company has spent considerable time in contracting with several major overseas corporations for the co-development of F-4 PROTON LABORATORIES, INC NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) enhanced antioxidant beverages for distribution into the overseas markets. In addition, the Company is working with its Canadian business associates to identify institutional businesses to market various disinfection applications based upon functional water, pending government approval. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future. NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company's president and majority shareholder advanced the Company $178,000. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the balance in the shareholder loans was $262,000 and $84,000, respectively. These advances bear interest at 7% with principal and accrued interest due November 2005. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the accrued interest was $11,323 and $735, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company accrued $45,000 as salaries payable to the president resulting in $60,000 of salaries payable at September 30, 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the president did not receive any amounts related to his salary. The Company determined that the fair value of these services was $45,000. Thus the Company recorded a salary expense and contributed capital for the fair value of the president's services. NOTE 4 - PREFERRED STOCK During May 2004, the Company designated 400,000 shares of the preferred stock as Series A convertible preferred stock. The holders of Series A convertible preferred stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend of 8% per year in cash payable in arrears. The holders of Series A convertible preferred stock may convert any or all of their shares plus all accrued dividends on the preferred stock into common stock at any time. Each share of preferred stock may be converted into 5 shares of common stock. The holder will receive one share of common stock for $2 of accrued dividends. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Series A convertible preferred stock, are entitled to receive, out of legally available assets, a liquidation preference of $10 per share, plus an amount equal to any unpaid dividends through the payment date, before any payment or distribution was made to holders of common stock. The holders of Series A convertible preferred stock are not entitled to vote. During the July 2004, the Company issued 8,000 shares of preferred stock for $80,000. At September 30, 2004, dividends payable was $1,600.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In November 2004, the Company's board of directors approved the 2004 Marketing Consultant Stock Plan whereby up to 945,000 common shares may be granted, optioned or sold. The plan is for its consultants, key employees, and directors who contribute materially to the success and profitability of the Company as well as attracting other key employees and directors. In November 2004, 945,000 shares were issued under this plan resulting in $406,350 of consultant and employee expense valued using the per share fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance In addition, 400,000 common shares were issued in November 2004 pursuant to the 2004 Stock and Stock Option Plan, resulting in $172,000 consultant expense valued using the per share fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance. F-6 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT Certain statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, statements containing the words, "believes," "anticipates," "expects," and other words of similar meaning, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, of to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to announce publicly the results of any revision of the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein to reflect future events or developments. In addition to the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-QSB, the following forward-looking factors could cause our future results to differ materially our forward-looking statements: competition, funding, government compliance and market acceptance of our products. INTRODUCTION The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. Our operations are located in Alameda, California. Our business consists of the sales and marketing of the industrial, environmental and residential systems throughout the United States of America which alter the properties of water to produce functional water. We act as an exclusive importer and master distributor of these products to various companies in which uses for the product range from food processing to retail water sales. We formulate intellectual properties under licensing agreements, supply consumer products, consult on projects utilizing functional water, facilitate between manufacturer and industry and act as educators on the benefits of functional water. Our independent auditors made a going concern qualification in their report dated March 12, 2004, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, our revenue was $120,902 compared to $ 62,431 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, our revenue was $278,907 compared to $189,831 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. During 2004, our president contributed funds to us to fund our operations in the amount of $178,000. There is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future. We are working towards raising funds to expand our marketing and revenues. We have spent considerable time in contracting with several major overseas corporations for the co-development of enhanced antioxidant beverages for distribution into the overseas markets. We are working with our Canadian business associates to identify institutional businesses to market various disinfection applications based upon functional water, pending government approval. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions provide a basis for us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and these differences may be material. We recognize revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services has occurred; (iii) the selling price is both fixed and determinable and; (iv) collectibility is reasonably probable. Our revenues are derived from sales of our industrial, environmental and residential systems which alter the properties of water to produce functional water. We believe that this critical accounting policy affects our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. During the period from March 14, 2000 through November 15, 2002, prior to our acquisition of Proton Laboratories LLC in November 2002, we did not engage in significant operations other than organizational activities, acquisition of the rights to market the products of Vitamineralherb.com, the preparation for registration of our securities under the Securities Act and capital raising. No revenues were received by us during that period. However, Vitamineralherb.com has ceased operating a Web site which makes it unlikely that we will ever do any business with Vitamineralherb.com. We operate through our own name, Proton Laboratories, Inc. and through the name of our wholly-owned subsidiary Water Science, Inc. In November 2002, we acquired Proton Laboratories, LLC, which is active in the functional water business. This acquisition was reported in detail on our Form 8-K for the event dated November 15, 2002 as filed with the Commission on November 25, 2002. Proton Laboratories, LLC is now known as Water Science, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. Since our acquisition of Proton Laboratories LLC in November 2002, our business has been focused on marketing functional water equipment and systems. Alkaline-concentrated functional water may have health-beneficial properties and may be used for drinking and cooking purposes. Acidic-concentrated functional water may be used as a topical, astringent medium. Our fiscal year end is December 31. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--Quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. We had revenue of $120,902 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared to revenue of $62,431 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. We had a net loss of $162,920 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $38,536 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Our SG&A expenses were $178,361 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared to $69,787 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--Nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. We had revenue of $278,907 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to revenue of $189,831 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. We had a net loss of $246,114 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $92,991 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Net cash used by operating activities was $230,446 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to cash used by operating activities of $76,623 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Our SG&A expenses were $341,119 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to $195,290 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. We are currently seeking funds to expand our marketing and revenues. We have spent considerable time in contracting with several major overseas corporations for the co-development of enhanced antioxidant beverages for distribution into the overseas markets. We are working with Canadian business associates to identify institutional businesses to market various disinfection applications based upon functional water, pending government approval. Our business is focused on marketing functional water equipment and systems. Alkaline-concentrated functional water may have health-beneficial properties and may be used for drinking and cooking purposes. Acidic-concentrated functional water may be used as a topical, astringent medium. LIQUIDITY As of September 30, 2004, we had cash on hand of $7,217. Our growth is dependent on attaining profit from our operations, or our raising additional capital either through the sale of stock or borrowing. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any our products at a profit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, our president advanced to us the amount of $178,000 in cash. This advance accrues interest at the rate of 7% per annum and is due in November 2005. At September 30, 2004, the aggregate balance we owe on loans from shareholders is $262,000 which includes loans from prior periods. All of these loans accrues interest at the rate of 7% per annum and are due in November 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we accrued $45,000 as salaries payable to Mr. Alexander resulting in an aggregate of $60,000 of salaries payable to Mr. Alexander at September 30, 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Mr. Alexander did not receive any amounts related to his salary. We determined that the fair value of these services was $45,000. Thus we recorded a salary expense and contributed capital for the fair value of the president's services. FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Our growth is dependent on attaining profit from our operations, or our raising additional capital either through the sale of stock or borrowing. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of our products at a profit. Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the following: - The cost to acquire equipment to resell. - The cost of sales and marketing our products. - The rate at which we expand our operations. - The results of our consulting business. - The response of competitors. Item 3. Controls and Procedures. (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. (b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter under report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. None. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds On May 19, 2004, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation that designated 400,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. Shareholder action was not required. This amendment was then filed with the Secretary of State of Washington on May 28, 2004. We received a file-stamped copy of the amendment later in June 2004. We previously reported the details of our Series A Preferred Stock in our Form 8-K file July 09, 2004 and dated May 28, 2004. In July 2004, we sold 8,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for cash consideration of $80,000 to one investor. We relied on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction. The certificate issued for these unregistered securities contains a legend stating that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth the restrictions on the transferability and the sale of the securities. No underwriter participated in, nor did we pay any commissions or fees to any underwriter in connection with any of these transactions. This transaction did not involve a public offering. The investor was knowledgeable about our operations and financial condition. The investor had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that allowed the investor to evaluate the merits and risk of receipt of these securities. Item 3.
