It is expected that this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy will be mailed to stockholders late January 2005 immediately upon filing of the Definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC.

The Company's Board of Director has fixed the close of business on December 20, 2004 as the record date ("Record Date") for the Consent.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has selected the firm of Marcum & Kliegman, LLP to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004, and has directed that its selection of independent auditors be submitted for ratification to the stockholders which ratification is to be consummated in the Written Consent.

Effective March 18, 2003, Registrant dismissed Parker & Co. as Registrant's independent accountants, which action was approved by Registrant's Board of Directors on March 14, 2003.

Except as described in the following sentence, the reports of Parker on the financial statements of Registrant for either of the past two fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The report of Parker on the financial statements of Registrant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 do, however, contain an expression of substantial doubt regarding Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition, during Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and through March 18, 2003, there was no disagreement with Parker on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

Registrant requested that Parker furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this Item. A copy of such response received by Registrant to that request was filed and attached to Registrant's Form 8-K, as amended, filed on March 26, 2003, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  
  2  

 

On March 19, 2003 Marcum & Kliegman LLP ("MKLLP") was engaged as the Company's new independent accountants, commencing with the audit for the year ending December 31, 2002. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the engagement of MKLLP, Registrant had not consulted with MKLLP regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Registrant's financial statements, and either a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by MKLLP that MKLLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement" or event identified in response to paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304, as those terms are used in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulations S-B and S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulations S-B and S-K.

In addition, during Registrant's two most recent fiscal years, there was no disagreement with Marcum & Kliegman, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

Audit Fees

For the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements for 2003, and for reviews of the financial statements included in Registrant's Forms 10-QSB for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004, Registrant has been billed the following amounts by MKLLP, respectively: $45,964, $8,605, $7,757 and $8,500.

For the audit of the Registrant's annual financial statements for 2002, and for reviews of the financial statements included in Registrant's Forms 10-QSB for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003, and September 2003. Registrant has been billed the following amounts by MKLLP, respectively: $35,000, $8,800, $9,038.00 and $11,967.00.

All Other Fees

For the most recent fiscal year, the aggregate fees billed for services rendered by MKLLP, other than services covered in Exchange Act Rule 14a-101 Item 9(e)(1) and (2) is $4,638.

For the fiscal year, ended December 31, 2002, the aggregate fees billed for services rendered by MKLLP, other than services covered in Exchange Act Rule 14a-101 Item 9(e)(1) and (2) is $962.00.

The Board of Directors has not considered whether the services covered in "All Other Fees" is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval and ratification of Marcum & Kliegman, LLP as independent auditors.


INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

The Board of Directors of the Company authorized an amendment to Article IV of its Articles of Incorporation to allow for an increase in the capital stock of the Company. This amendment increases the total number of authorized shares from 180,000,000 to 280,000,000.

The proposed amendment is as follows:

Increase in authorized shares.

Article IV - Stock


  
  3  

 

The aggregate number of shares which this corporation shall have the authority to issue is 280,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share.

This new Article IV increases the authorized capital stock of the Company from $180,000 consisting of 180,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, to $280,000 consisting of 280,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $.001 per share.

No other changes were made to Article IV.

The Board of Directors believes that this amendment will provide us with greater flexibility in capitalization, including potential future equity offerings (which may have a dilutive effect), by increasing authorized capital to allow issuance of an additional 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, though there are no current arrangements by the Company that would result in the issuance of the additional authorized shares.

This amendment is being authorized by the stockholders in the Consent. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the matters set forth in this Proposal 3.


OPT IN TO NRS.78.3792

The Nevada Control Share Acquisition Statute provides that any person that acquires a “controlling interest” acquires voting rights in the “control shares” only as conferred by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding, non-interested shares. A person acquires a “controlling interest” whenever he acquires shares of a corporation that would enable him to exercise (i) one-fifth or more, but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more, but less than a majority or (iii) a majority or more, of all of the voting power of the corporation in an election of directors. Once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and those shares acquired within 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become “control shares.” Once an acquirer obtains “control share” that exceed a threshold, the corporation’s shareholders will vote on whether to confer voting rights on the acquirer at the next shareholders’ meeting. In the event that the control shares are accorded voting rights and the acquirer acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power of the corporation, any shareholder, other than the acquiror, who did not vote in favor of authorizing the voting rights for the control shares is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of such person’s shares. This statute applies to a Nevada corporation having 200 or more shareholders, at least 100 of whom must be Nevada residents, and which directly does business in Nevada. Should the voting rights not be granted, however, the NRS provides that the corporation may redeem the control shares from the potential acquiror for the average price paid therefor (and the acquiror would be obligated to so sell the shares to the corporation). This provision is an “opt-in” provision, which allows the corporation to remove the control shares from a potential acquiror.

While these provisions do not apply so long as the Company does not have at least 100 resident shareholders in Nevada and does not do business in Nevada, it is feasible that both events may occur in the future; therefore, the Company, in an effort to provide flexibility in a tender offer scenario, should the Board deem it to be in the best interests of the shareholders, to resist a potential takeover attempt.

This amendment is being authorized by the stockholders in the Consent. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the matters set forth in this Proposal 4.

SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS

The Company seeks to amend its Bylaws to only permit the calling of special meetings of shareholders by (i) shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; (ii) a majority of the Directors of the Company’s Board of Directors; (iii) the Chairman of the Board of the Company; or (iv) the President of the Company. Currently, a special meeting may be called by 10% of the outstanding shares. The amended provision would limit the ability of acquirors to control the timing of takeover votes or votes on other corporate governance matters.

This amendment is being authorized by the stockholders in the Consent. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the matters set forth in this Proposal 5.


SPECIAL NOTICE REQUIREMENTS

This amendment to the Bylaws would require a shareholder seeking to bring business before any annual meeting of shareholders or to nominate directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders to provide advance written notice to the Company and other shareholders. This provision would delay an acquiror’s ability to replace directors or to gain shareholder approval of a takeover proposal, thus providing time for the Board to properly evaluate such shareholder’s proposals and accord them due consideration.

This amendment is being authorized by the stockholders in the Consent. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the matters set forth in this Proposal 6.


FOR CAUSE REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

Currently, directors may be removed with or without cause. This Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation would limit removal of directors to “for cause” reasons. This would greatly inhibit the ability of an acquiror from removing the entire slate of directors at a single meeting which would not necessarily be in the shareholders’ best interests as it would remove the entire talent pool and those with experience running the Company in one action and potentially leave the Company without experienced guidance.

This amendment is being authorized by the stockholders in the Consent. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the matters set forth in this Proposal 7.

DISSENTERS' RIGHTS

There are no dissenters' rights applicable to the amendments to the matters set forth to the vote set forth herein.

AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND VOTE
REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

Under Section 78.390 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation may be enacted by the Board passing a resolution to the effect and then submitting the resolution to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation, which may pass the resolution upon a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote thereon as of a set record date.

POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS

Tender offers or other non-open market acquisitions of stock are usually made at prices above the prevailing market price. In addition, acquisitions of stock by persons attempting to acquire control through market purchases may cause the market price of the stock to reach levels which are higher than would otherwise be the case. By increasing the number of shares available to authorize and issue, the Company has caused a potential anti takeover effect by creating potential dilution to the number of outstanding shares. Such dilution will cause a party attempting a takeover to be required to buy more shares of the Company stock and to expend additional resources to accomplish such a measure.

Other matters presented herein, if approved by the shareholders, could also have potential anti-takeover effects as discussed above with respect to the description of those provisions.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, if the proposed amendments to our Articles of Incorporation or By Laws are passed, which is not shared by all other stockholders.

On November 21, 2003 Company's Board of Directors adopted the Company's 2003-2004 Consulting Services Plan (the "Consulting Plan") in order to advance the interests of the registrant by rewarding, encouraging and enabling the acquisition of larger personal proprietary interests in the registrant by employees, directors and former directors of, and contractors and consultants to, the registrant, and its Subsidiaries who have: 1) served without salaries or other compensation during time periods for which stock is awarded; and 2) assisted the registrant with support services for its business development. The Consulting Plan provides for an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the registrant's $.001 par value common stock, currently valued at $.095 per share (but subject to change on market fluctuation) that may be awarded from time to time at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. The Plan was filed as an Exhibit to Registrant's Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2003. Approximately 975,000 shares have been issued under this Plan as of the date of filing this Schedule 14A.

On December 22, 2003, Registrant's Board of Directors voted unanimously to implement salary increases as follows:

CEO: Salary to increase to $210,000 per year on the first day of the first month in which the Corporation ships 30 AXP 1000 units; salary to increase to $240,000 per year on the first day of the first month in which the Corporation ships 1000 AXP 1000 units; and salary to increase to $260,000 per year on the earlier of (i) January 1, 2005 and (iii) the first day of the first month in which the Corporation ships 250,000 AXP 1000 units.

CFO: Salary to increase to $195,000 per year on the first day of the first month in which the Corporation ships 30 AXP 1000 units; salary to increase to $210,000 per year on the first day of the first month in which the Corporation ships 1000 AXP 1000 units; and salary to increase to $230,000 per year on the earlier of (i) January 1, 2005 and (iii) the first day of the first month in which the Corporation ships 250,000 AXP 1000 units.

General Counsel: Salary to increase to $200,000 per year on the earlier of (i) January 1, 2005 and (ii) the first day of the first month in which the Corporation ships 250 AXP 1000 units.

In addition, the CEO is authorized, in his discretion to issue up to an additional 25% of cash compensation per officer in each calendar year for incentive bonuses and discretionary raises.

Jolie Kahn, Secretary - Ms. Kahn received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Government from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York and graduated magna cum laude from the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in New York, New York in 1989, where she was a member of its Law Review and an Alexander Fellow. Since that time, she has represented both private and public companies in varied aspects of general corporate, securities, corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions law and transactions. In addition, Ms. Kahn has counseled clients in areas related to their general day-to-day business affairs, such as employment and taxation issues. Ms. Kahn's career began at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP in New York City, and most recently, she had acted as an in-house counsel to a "high tech" company in Boca Raton, Florida.

The registrant has no standing audit, nominating or compensation committees of the Board of Directors or other committees performing similar functions. Given the small size of the Board, a committee is not practicable, and the entire Board participates in consideration of director nominees.

There were five meetings of the Board held in 2003. All Directors attended at least 75% of the meetings.

The Board does not currently have a process for sending communications directly to it as this has never been requested by Shareholders and 2 of 3 directors are also executive officers, however, should the shareholders request such as process, the Board will consider the most efficacious way to do so.


Recent changes in the regulations regarding the delivery of copies of information materials and annual reports to shareholders permit the Company to send one annual report and information statement to multiple shareholders who share the same address under certain circumstances, unless otherwise requested. This practice is known as "householding". If a shareholder sharing an address who now receives only one copy of the Company's annual report and information statement per household wishes to receive separate copies of these materials, then the shareholder should contact Energy & Engine Technology Corporation at 5308 West Plano Parkway, Plano Texas 75093, phone number 972-732-6360.

If a shareholder of record sharing an address who currently receives multiple copies of the Company's annual report and information statement wishes to receive only one copy of these materials per household in the future, then the shareholder should also contact the Company by mail as instructed above.


The Company elects to submit a copy of its Form 10K-SB, filed with the Commission on April 14, 2004 to the shareholders in lieu of an Annual Report. The Form 10K-SB is included with this information in the package to be delivered to all shareholders. No portion of the Annual Report is incorporated herein or is to be considered as part of this information statement.


The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the Directors to recommend to the shareholders present to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
