Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements



BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Item 310 of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
 and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. The unaudited
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with
 the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
 included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

Subcontract Labor - The Company subcontracts its project
 expense (payroll, insurance and supplies) from an entity in
which George J. Coates is the sole stockholder. During the
 three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, $44,188 and
 $22,102, respectively, were paid for these services.

ITEM 2			MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Coates International Ltd. (CIL or the Company)
is a Delaware corporation organized in October 1991 by George J.
Coates, as the successor in interest to a Delaware corporation of
 the same name incorporated in August 1988 (the Predecessor Entity).
As a result of a dispute with certain former employee-directors who
 claimed to own approximately nine percent of the Predecessor Entitys
outstanding capital stock. The Predecessor Entity was reorganized in
 November 1991. Pursuant to the reorganization, all of the Predecessor
 Entitys assets subject to liabilities were distributed to CIL, the
 non-litigating stockholders of the Predecessor Entity became the
stockholders of CIL, and the Predecessor Entity was dissolved.

CIL has completed the basic development of a spherical rotary
valve system (the Coates System), the development of which was
initiated by its founder. George J. Coates, for use in internal
combustion engines of all types. With respect to the Coates System,
seven applicable Untied States patents (the Coates Patents) have been
issued to George J. Coates. CIL holds an exclusive license from George
J. Coates and his son Gregory Coates, to manufacture, sell and grant
sub-licenses with respect to products based on the Coates Patents,
within all of the countries, their territories and possessions, comprising
North America, South America and Central America (the License Areas).
George J. Coates and Gregory Coates have also agreed, as long as
 CIL remains independent and viable not to compete with CIL in
the manufacture, assembly, use or sale of internal combustion
engines utilizing the technology falling within the scope of the
 Coates Patents in the Licensed Areas, or to grant any other exclusive
 or non-exclusive license in the licensed Areas except through CIL.
In addition, George J. Coates and Gregory Coates have executed an
agreement granting CIL the right to retain any moneys including
royalties received from Nicholson McLaren sale, use or assembly of
 internal combustion engines anywhere in the world use in the
 technology falling within the scope of the Coates Patents.

CIL has a short operating history, during which it has primarily
 devoted its attention to developing the technology associated
with the Coates Systems. During such time CIL has also arranged
 for certain tests in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the
technology. CIL has also devoted much time attempting to interest
 various persons and entities in acquiring sub-licenses to use
 the technology.

CIL is currently manufacturing components for high performance
 automotive engines modified with the Coates System on a limited
basis at its Wall Township, New Jersey, manufacturing facility.
Except as may be set forth herein. CIL has not sold any automotive
engines or components during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
CIL has received numerous oral and written inquires from potential
customers, expressing an interest in acquiring high performance
automotive racing engines modified with the Coates System. No
assurances can be given that these inquiries will result in binding
sales orders. CIL intends to aggressively pursue all inquiries
with the goal of obtaining firm orders.

CILs ability to generate revenues and achieve profitable operations
 is principally dependent upon the execution of sub-license agreements
 with engines manufactures and retrofitters and upon the Companys
successful marketing and sales of high performance automotive, motorcycle
and marine racing engines.CIL is actively attempting
 to market its technology and is in communication with various persons and
entities that may be interested in acquiring sub-licenses to use the
technology. Despite limited success to date due principally to its lack
of funding, CIL continues to aggressively pursue the marketing of Coates
System technology to potential sub-licensees worldwide.

On September 29, 1999, the Company entered into a License Agreement
with Well to Wire Energy, Inc. (WTW), a Canadian corporation, whereby
the Company granted to WTW a license exclusive in Canada for the use
of the Coates Spherical Rotary Valve System in connection with a natural
 gas fueled engine that generates electricity. The licensing fee is
$5,000,000, and the Company is also to receive a royalty equal to
5 percent of the gross profits which WTW derives from all sources.
The Company (CIL), which retains the exclusive right to manufacture
the engine for WTW, received in October 1999, a $41,000,000 order
comprising both co-generation systems and engines. The consummation
of the License agreement with WTW and finalization of WTW's orders
for the generator engines is contingent upon the successful validation
of the prototype generator engine incorporating the Coates System.

The anticipated proceeds to be derived from the sale of the $ 5,000,000
license to Well to Wire Energy Inc. following successful validation should
offset the general and administrative expenses for the twelve months ending
March 31, 2001 which are estimated at $ 100,000 per month or $ 1,200,000.
Moreover, although management is confident that its generator engine developed
for WTW will achieve operational validation, there can be no assurances that
such operational validation will be achieved.

The private offering reported in the previous 10-QSB was cancelled by the
Company, and all other arrangements and pending arrangements other than WTW
Energy licensing agreements have been

put on hold because management believes that the co-generator opportunity
in Canada is the most significant. WTW has paid a $550,000 deposit and signed
 a $5,000,000 license. CIL management expects to start production of its
co-generator engine for the oil and gas companies on a significantly large
scale. Both WTW, CIL and another oil and gas company are in high level
talks regarding a joint venture.

It is the intention of CIL to fund its business plan by borrowings and
the sale of equity and/or debt instruments, and through the sale of
sub-licenses. All of these financing vehicles will be pursued
simultaneously. It is not presently known which, if any, of these
alternatives will be utilized,

whether they are available to CIL, and if available, in what
 mixture or in what amounts.



Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000
and 1999

Revenues of $55,000 are recognized for the three month period
ended March 31, 2000 while no revenue was recognized for the three month
period ended March 31, 1999. Total operating expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 were $173,278 compared to $206,707 for the same period
in 1999. The decrease was attributable to a reduction in general and
administrative expenses for the Company, as well as, a reduction in
depreciation and amortization expenses.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$34, 932 as compared to $24,853 for the same three month period in
 1999. This increase of approximately $10,000 was due to a higher
 mortgage on the property in 2000. The net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 was $153,210 as compared with a
loss of $231,560 for the same period in 1999. The main reason
 for this decrease with a reduction of current years general and
administrative expenses, due to the forgiveness of debt coupled
 with a decrease in research and development.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Companys balance sheet and financial condition did
not change materially during the quarter. However, the losses
experienced during this period affected cash flow and, therefore,
 the Companys cash position. Cash on hand currently is insufficient

 to guaranty an orderly retirement of liabilities unless their
due dates are extended.
