Description of Business 

 

Save The World Air, Inc. (“STWA”, “Company”) was incorporated on February 18, 1998, as a Nevada Corporation under the name Mandalay Capital Corporation. The Company changed its name to Save the World Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999. The Company’s common stock is quoted under the symbol “ZERO” on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. More information including the Company’s fact sheet, logos and media articles are available at our corporate website, www.stwa.com.

 

Save The World Air, Inc. develops and commercializes energy efficiency technologies that assist in meeting increasing global energy demands, improving the economics of oil extraction and transport, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Company's intellectual property portfolio includes 48 domestic and international patents and patents pending, a substantial portion of which have been developed in conjunction with and exclusively licensed from Temple University of Philadelphia, PA (“Temple”). STWA's primary technology is called Applied Oil Technology™ (AOT™), a commercial-grade crude oil pipeline transportation flow-assurance product. AOT™ has been proven in U.S. Department of Energy tests to increase the energy efficiency of oil pipeline pump stations.

 

In 2014, the Company began commercial development of a suite of products based around the new electrical heat system which reduces oil viscosity through a process known as joule heat (“Joule Heat”). The Company is designing and optimizing the Joule Heat technology for the upstream oil transportation market, and plans to begin field-testing with commercial entities in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company filed two additional provisional patents related to the technology’s method and apparatus in the second quarter and fourth quarter of 2013, respectively. The first of the two provisional patents was finalized and submitted to non-provisional status on April 29, 2014. The second of the two provisional patents is scheduled to be finalized and submitted to non-provisional status at the end of the third quarter 2014.

 

The Company was considered a development stage company through March 31, 2014. In June 2014, as discussed in Note, 2, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance that removed incremental financial reporting requirements from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for development stage entities.  The Company adopted this new guidance, and as a result, all inception-to-date financial information and disclosures have been omitted from this report.
