NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and basis of presentation
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the
opinion of management of Save the World Air, Inc. (the Company), contain all adjustments, which
include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at June
30, 2007, the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The balance sheet as of
December 31, 2006 is derived from the Companys audited financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although
management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these condensed consolidated
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For
further information, refer to the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations
to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed
consolidate financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $3,442,344 and a negative cash flow
from operations of $2,202,478 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and had a working capital
deficiency of $2,789,278 and a
stockholders deficiency of $2,527,077 at June 30, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to raise additional funds and implement
its business plan. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Description of business
Save the World Air, Inc. (the Company) is a green technology company that leverages a suite of
patented, patent-pending and licensed intellectual properties related to the treatment of fuels.
These technologies utilize either magnetic or uniform electrical fields to alter physical
characteristics of fuels and are designed to create a cleaner combustion. Cleaner combustion has
been shown to improve performance, enhance fuel economy and/or reduce harmful emissions in
laboratory testing.
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on February 18, 1998 under the name Mandalay Capital Corp.
The Company changed its name to Save the World Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999 following the
purchase of the worldwide exclusive manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights for the ZEFS
technology.
During the past several years, the Company has been acquiring new technologies, developing
prototype products using the Companys technologies and conducting scientific tests regarding the
technologies and prototype products. The Companys ECO ChargR and MAG ChargR products, use fixed
magnetic fields to alter some physical properties of fuel, by incorporating our patented and
patent-pending ZEFS, MK IV technologies. When fitted to an internal combustion engine, these
products are expected to increase power and improve mileage and may also reduce carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide emissions and to. The Company also has developed certain products
incorporating its CAT-MATE technology, although at this time the Company does not intend to devote
significant effort to the commercialization of products incorporating the CAT-MATE technology.
The Company has obtained licenses from Temple University for their patent-pending uniform electric
field technology, tentatively called ELEKTRA. The ELEKTRA technology consists of passing fuel
through a specific strong electrical field. Although ELEKTRA has a similar effect on fuels as the
Companys ZEFS and MK IV technologies, ELEKTRA incorporates a uniform electrical field principle.
Based on the Companys early research and product development, the Company believes that ELEKTRA
carries certain advantages over the Companys ZEFS and MK IV technologies, primarily not requiring
as many variations for products incorporating the ELEKTRA technology compared to products
incorporating the ZEFS or MK IV technologies. When it is developed, the Company intends to market
ELEKTRA products primarily to the transportation industry, oil refineries and pipelines, and OEMs.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Save the World Air, Inc. and
Subsidiary include the accounts of Save the World Air, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiary STWA Asia Pte. Limited, incorporated on January 17, 2006. As of June 30, 2007, the
subsidiary held $7,386 in cash and had operating expenses of $7,595. Intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Development stage enterprise
The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. All losses
accumulated since the inception of the Company have been considered as part of the Companys
development stage activities.
The Companys focus is on product development and marketing of proprietary devices that are
designed to reduce harmful emissions, and improve fuel efficiency and engine performance on
equipment and vehicles driven by internal combustion engines and has not yet generated meaningful
revenues. The technologies are called ZEFS, MK IV, ELEKTRA and CAT-MATE. The Company is
currently marketing its ECO and MAG ChargR products incorporating ZEFS and MK IV technologies in
the United States and certain countries in Asia; and the Company is in the early stages of
developing ELEKTRA products. Expenses have been funded primarily through the sale of company
stock, convertible notes and the exercise of warrants.
The Company has taken actions to secure the intellectual property rights to the ZEFS, MK IV and
CAT-MATE devices and is the worldwide exclusive licensee for patent-pending technologies associated
with the development of ELEKTRA.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition, and therefore
recognizes revenue based upon meeting four criteria:
| Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; | ||
| Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; | ||
| The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and | ||
| Collectibility is reasonably assured. |
The Company contract manufactures fixed magnetic field products and sells them to various original
equipment manufacturers in the motor vehicle and small utility motor markets. The Company
negotiates an initial contract with the customer fixing the terms of the sale and then receives a
letter of credit or full payment in advance of shipment. Upon shipment, the Company recognizes the
revenue associated with the sale of the products to the customer.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of finished
goods.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 (UNAUDITED)
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain
significant estimates were made in connection with preparing the Companys financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-based compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123(R)) which requires the measurement and
recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and
directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Companys previous accounting
under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB
25) for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has
applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R)
using the modified prospective transition method, which requires
the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Companys
fiscal year 2006. The Companys financial statements as of and
for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition
method, the Companys financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and
do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS
123(R) for employee and directors for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $25,200.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and
directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25. Under the intrinsic value
method, the Company recognized share-based compensation equal to the awards intrinsic value at the
time of grant over the requisite service periods using the straight-line method. Forfeitures were
recognized as incurred.
The Companys determination of fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors
on the date of grant uses the Black-Scholes model, which is affected by the Companys stock price
as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These
variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the
awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.

The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued to non-employees for goods and
services using the guidance of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 96-18:
Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, whereby the fair value of such option and warrant
grants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the earlier of the date at
which the non-employees performance is completed or a performance commitment is reached.
4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that there are any other recently-issued accounting pronouncements, but
not yet effective accounting standards, which could have a material effect on the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), SFAS 157 establishes a formal framework
for measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines and codifies the many definitions of fair
value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some
instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases
the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157 applies
to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of
itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation
standards. SFAS 157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or
permitting fair value measurements, except for; SFAS 123R, share-based payment and related
pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by
various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9
that deal with software revenue recognition. This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this
pronouncement on the Companys financial statements.
Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve
financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in
reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without
having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by
this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at
specified election dates. A business entity

shall report unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance
indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting
date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year
that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 159 will
have a material affect on our financial statements.
Interpretation No. 48
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of
FASB Statement No 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the
determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return
should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the
tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax
position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical
merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a
position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in
interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of June
30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of
California. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax
authorities for years after 2002. During the periods open to examination, the Company has
net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes
that have attributes from closed periods. Since these net operating losses and tax credit
carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The
Companys policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income
tax expense. As of June 30, 2007, The Company has no accrued interest or penalties related
to uncertain tax positions. The Company believes that it has not taken any uncertain tax
positions that would impact its condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30,
2007. Also as of the date of adoption, and as of June 30, 2007, the Company does not have a
liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
EITF 00-19-2
Effective in the first quarter of 2007 the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF
00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements issued on December 21, 2006
(FSP 00-19-2). FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future
payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment, whether issued as
a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other
agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement
No. 5, Accounting for

Contingencies. For registration payment arrangements and financial
instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of
EITF 00-19-2, this guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
5. Net loss per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the
Company. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that
outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock
at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect
under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the
period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. For the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options of 4,039,559 and 7,181,257
respectively, and outstanding warrants of 21,631,197 and 22,050,058 have been excluded because
their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

Advances from founding executive officer
All of the marketing and manufacturing rights for the ZEFS were acquired from founding officer
Jeffery A. Muller, for 5,000,000 shares of common stock, $500,000 and a $10 royalty for each unit
sold (see discussion below), pursuant to the Agreement entered into in December 1998, by and
between the Company and Mr. Muller. Working capital advances in the amount of $517,208 and payment

Lease agreement
During 2003, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with an entity to lease office space in
North Hollywood, California for its principal executive offices. Bruce H. McKinnon, the Chief
Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is an owner of the lessor.
In August 2005, the Company amended this sublease agreement. The original lease term was from
November 1, 2003 through October 16, 2005 and carried an option to renew for two additional years
with a 10 percent increase in the rental rate. Monthly rent under this lease is $3,740 per month
under this lease. The Company exercised its option to renew the lease through October 15, 2007.
In January 2006, the Company further amended this sublease agreement, as a result of taking more
space and obtaining expanded support services. The term of the sublease was amended to July 31,
2007 and carries an option to renew for two additional years with a 10 percent increase in the
rental rate. Monthly rent is $6,208 per month under this amended sublease agreement. Additionally,
the Company began leasing two additional office spaces for $964 per month beginning July 2006 on a
month-to-month basis.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, rent expense under the sublease was $30,615
and $18,624, respectively. The amount for the three months ended June 30, 2007 includes $9,100 with
respect to a late penalty of $100 per day since April 1, 2007, in addition to amounts previously
accrued and discussed in the next paragraph. The Company does not admit that it owes this amount.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, rent expense under the sublease was $97,630 and
$37,248, respectively. The amount for the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes $54,600 with

to provide exclusive marketing and promotional services in the western United States and western
Canada (the Territory) for the Companys products. SS Sales will also provide advice, assistance
and information on marketing the Companys products in the automotive after-market, and will seek
to recruit and establish a market with distributors,

wholesalers and others. SS Sales will be paid
a commission equal to 5% of the gross amount actually collected on contracts the Company entered
into during the term of the agreement for existing or future customers introduced by SS Sales in
the Territory. The agreement has a term of five years unless sooner terminated by either party on
30 days notice. In the event of termination, SS Sales will be entitled to receive all commissions
payable through the date of termination. No amount was due or paid under this agreement as of June
30, 2007. SS Sales is owned by Nathan Shelton, who has served as one of the directors of the
Company since February 12, 2007.
7. Equity line of credit
In September 2006, the Company entered into what is sometimes termed an equity line of credit
arrangement. Under the line of credit the Company may, but is not obligated to, put shares of
common stock from time to time over a 36-month period, at a purchase price calculated at 97% of the
lowest best closing bid for the Companys common stock for the five trading days following the put
notice. The Company may draw up to $10,000,000 under the line of credit. Because the price of the
common stock fluctuates and the number of shares of common stock, if any, that the Company may
issue, should exercise the put rights under the equity line of credit, will vary, the Company does
not know how many shares, if any, will actually issue under the equity line of credit. As of June
30, 2007 the Company has registered and made available 7,000,000 shares of common stock for
possible future draws under the line of credit.
As of June 30, 2007 the Company has drawn down $1,372,150 ($1,262,384 net of closing costs) of this
commitment and issued 2,367,905 shares of common stock, leaving 4,632,095 shares of common stock
still available under the equity line of credit.
8. Convertible debentures
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued notes (the Notes) totaling
$1,000,000, which included the conversion of $45,000 of debt owed to the Companys Chief Financial
Officer. The Company paid related transaction fees of $89,500 resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of $865,500. In addition to the cash paid for transaction fees, 117,857 warrants (the
Warrants) were issued to certain placement agents. The Warrants expire between August 31, 2007
and February 9, 2008 and are exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share.
The aggregate value of the Warrants issued in connection with the offering and to the placement
agent were valued at $620,252 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following
assumptions; risk-free interest rate of 4.35% to 4.66%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of
the expected market price of common stock of 130.61%; and an expected life of two years (statutory
term). The company also determined that the notes contained a beneficial conversion feature of
$290,248.

The value of the Warrants of $620,252, the conversion option of $290,248, and the transaction fees
of $89,500 are considered as debt discount and are being amortized over the life of the Notes.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, convertible notes in the amount of $2,576,379 of the Notes
were converted to 3,680,540 shares of stock at $0.70 per share. In addition, $3,707 of accrued
interest was converted to 5,296 shares at $0.70 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2006,
$2,257,620 of the total discount has been amortized and included in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations.
On December 5, 2006, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with
Morale Orchards, LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Oregon
(Morale). The entire equity interest in Morale is beneficially owned by Leodis Matthews who
provides legal services to the Company. The Agreement provides that Morale will purchase the
Companys one year Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate face amount of $1,225,000 (the
Morale Notes), and five-year Warrants (the Morale Warrants) to purchase shares of the Companys
common stock (the Common Stock). The aggregate purchase price for the Notes and Warrants is
$1,000,000. Therefore, while the stated interest on the Notes is 0%, the effective interest rate is
22.5% because the Notes are being purchased at a discount from their face amount.
Each of the Morale Notes is convertible into shares of the Companys Common Stock at a per share
conversion price initially equal to the closing price of a share of the Companys Common Stock on
the trading day prior to the date of issuance of such Note. The conversion right is exercisable
during the period commencing 90 days prior to the maturity of each Note. Concurrently with the
issuance of a Note, for no additional consideration, Morale will acquire Warrants to purchase a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock initially
issuable on conversion of the associated Note. The Morale Warrants become exercisable 180 days
after the date of their issuance. The Note purchased by Morale on December 5, 2006 is convertible
at the rate of $0.85 per share into 720,588 shares of the Companys Common Stock and the Morale
Warrants are exercisable at the same per share price for 360,294 shares of the Companys Common
Stock.
Repayment of each Note is to be made monthly, at an amount equal to at least $3,750 for each Note.
Additional payments may be made prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. In the event the
Company has not repaid each Note in full by the anniversary date of its issuance, the remaining
balance shall be increased by 10% as an initial penalty,
and the Company shall pay additional interest of 2.5% per month, compounded daily, for each month
until such Note is paid in full.
Morale has piggyback registration rights pursuant to which Morale may require the Company to
include the shares of the Companys Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Morale Notes and
exercise of the Morale Warrants in certain future registration statements the Company may elect to
file, subject to the right of the Company and/or its

discount, 360,264 additional warrants were issued to Morale. These warrants expire December 5, 2011
and are exercisable at a price of $0.85 per share.
The aggregate value of the Morale Warrants issued in connection with the offering and to the finder
were valued at $118,348 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following
assumptions; risk-free interest rate of 4.39%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the
expected market price of common stock of 110.21%; and an expected life of five years (statutory
term) and vest over 180 days. The Company also determined that the notes contained a beneficial
conversion feature of $230,848.
The value of the Morale Warrants of $118,348, the conversion option of $230,848, and the
transaction fees of $112,500 are considered as debt discount and are being amortized over the life
of the Note.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued Morale Notes totaling $612,500

discount, 437,500 warrants were issued to Morale. These warrants expire January 10, 2011 and are
exercisable at $0.70 per share. The note is convertible at the rate of $0.70 per share into 875,000
shares of the Companys Common Stock.

$118,955 the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions; risk-free

PIPE Warrant), entitling the holder to purchase a number of shares of the Companys common stock
equal to 150% of the number of shares of common stock into which the 2007 PIPE Notes are

$1.00 per share, and is exercisable immediately upon issuance and for a period of three years from

During February 2006, the Company issued 250,000 performance based warrants to an outside
consultant. These warrants are to be exercisable at $.40 per share, are fully vested and
exercisable immediately. These warrants were valued at $401,130 using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.59%, dividends yield
of 0%, volatility factors of the expected market price common of 130.61%, and an expected life of
five years.
In April 2006, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with an outside consultant to provide
public relations services. The terms of the agreement calls for monthly payments of $7,000.
Additionally, the Company issued a five-year warrant to the consultant. The warrant is exercisable
for up to 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.30 per share and vests as to
8,333 shares per month commencing April 30, 2006. The shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant
have piggyback registration rights. In August 2006 the Company terminated the agreement. The
consultant earned warrants to purchase 41,665 shares and the remaining balance of the warrants to
purchase 58,335 shares was forfeited.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company did not issue any warrants for services
other than what is stated in Note 8.

12. Commitments and contingencies
Legal matters
Litigation Involving Jeffrey A. Muller
On December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal District Court,
Southern District of New York, against us, the Companys former President and then sole director
Jeffrey A. Muller, and others, alleging that the Company and the other defendants were engaged in a
fraudulent scheme to promote our stock. The SEC complaint alleged the existence of a promotional
campaign using press releases, Internet postings, an elaborate website, and televised media events
to disseminate false and materially misleading information as part of a fraudulent scheme to
manipulate the market for stock in the corporation, which was then controlled by Mr. Muller. On
March 22, 2002, the Company signed a consent to final judgment of permanent injunction and other
relief in settlement of this action as against the corporation only, which the court approved on
July 2, 2002. Under this settlement, the Company was not required to admit fault and did not pay
any fines or restitution. The SECs charges of fraud and stock manipulation continue against Mr.
Muller and others.
On July 2, 2002, after an investigation by the Companys newly constituted board of directors, the
Company filed a cross-complaint in the SEC action against Mr. Muller and others seeking injunctive
relief, disgorgement of monies and stock and financial restitution
for a variety of acts and omissions in connection with sales of our stock and other transactions
occurring between 1998 and 2002. Among other things, the Company alleged that Mr. Muller and
certain others sold Company stock without providing adequate consideration to the Company; sold
insider shares without making proper disclosures and failed to make necessary filing required under
federal securities laws; engaged in self-dealing and entered into various undisclosed related-party
transactions; misappropriated for their own use proceeds from sales of the Companys stock; and
entered into various undisclosed arrangement regarding the control, voting and disposition of their
stock. On July 30, 2002, the U.S. Federal District Court, Southern District of New York, granted
the Companys application for a preliminary injunction against Mr. Muller and others, which
prevented Mr. Muller and other cross-defendants from selling, transferring, or encumbering any
assets and property previously acquired from the Company, from selling or transferring any of the
Companys stock that they may own or control, or from taking any action to injure the Company or
the Companys business and from having any direct contact with the

Companys shareholders. The
injunctive order also prevents Mr. Muller from engaging in any effort to exercise control over the
Companys corporation and from serving as an officer or director of the Company. While the Company
believes that the Company has valid claims, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or
settlement would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or cash
flow..
In the course of the litigation, the Company has obtained ownership control over Mr. Mullers
claimed patent rights to the ZEFS device. Under a Buy-Sell Agreement between Mr. Muller and the
Company dated December 29, 1998, Mr. Muller, who was listed on the ZEFS devise patent application
as the inventor of the ZEFS device, purported to grant us all international marketing,
manufacturing and distribution rights to the ZEFS device. Those rights were disputed because an
original inventor of the ZEFS device contested Mr. Mullers legal ability to have conveyed those
rights.
In Australia, Mr. Muller entered into a bankruptcy action seeking to overcome the Companys claims
for ownership of the ZEFS device. In conjunction with these litigation proceedings, a settlement
agreement was reached whereby the $10 per unit royalty previously due to Mr. Muller under his
contested Buy-Sell Agreement was terminated and replaced with a $.20 per unit royalty payable to
the bankruptcy trustee. On November 7, 2002, under a settlement agreement executed with the Mr.
Mullers bankruptcy trustee, the trustee transferred to the Company all ownership and legal rights
to this international patent application for the ZEFS device.
Both the SEC and the Company have filed Motions for Summary Judgment contending that there are no
material issues of fact in contention and as a matter of law, the Court should grant a judgment
against Mr. Muller and the cross-defendants.
Mr. Muller and several of the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint filed by the
Company and moved for summary judgment in their favor. On December 28, 2004, Judge George B.
Daniels denied the cross-defendants motion to dismiss the Companys cross-complaint, denied the
request to vacate the July 2, 2002 preliminary injunction and denied the request for damages
against the Company. The court also refused to grant a summary
judgment in favor of the cross-defendants and dismissed Mr. Mullers claims against the Company for
indemnification for his legal costs and for damages resulting from the litigation. Neither Mr.
Muller nor any of the cross-defendants have filed any cross-claims against the Company and the
Company is not exposed to any liability as a result of the litigation, except for possibly
incurring legal fees and expenses should the Company lose the litigation.
On November 16, 2005, the Court granted the SECs motion for summary judgment. In granting the
motion, the Court has barred Mr. Muller from serving as an officer or director of a public company
for a period of 20 years, ordered Mr. Muller to disgorge any shares of our stock that he still owns
and directed the Company to cancel any issued and outstanding shares of our stock still owned by
Mr. Muller. Mr. Muller was also ordered to disgorge to the SEC unlawful profits in the amount of
$7.5 million and pay a civil penalty in the amount of $100,000. Acting in accordance with the
Courts order, the Company has canceled

(i) 8,047,403 shares of its common stock held by Mr. Muller
and/or his affiliates, (ii) options to acquire an additional 10,000,000 shares of the Companys
common stock held by Mr. Muller personally and (iii) $1,017,208 of debt which Mr. Muller claimed
was owed to him by the Company.
Mr. Muller subsequently filed a Notice of Appeal from the Judgment resulting from this decision to
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. The clerk of the Court recently issued an Order
dismissing this appeal.
In response to the November 16, 2005 decision by the Court, Muller filed a motion seeking to set
aside the decision and order of the Court. On March 31, 2006, the Court issued a decision and order
denying Mullers motion to set aside the decision on summary judgment issued against Muller on
November 16, 2005.
On October 27, 2006, Magistrate Judge Frank Maas, Federal District Court of the Southern District
of New York, issued an order granting summary judgment in favor of the Company. The ruling provided
that all shares, options and any other obligations allegedly owed by the Company to Jeffrey A.
Muller, its former Chairman, were to be disgorged. The ruling also confirmed an earlier decision
issued on November 16, 2005 in favor of the SEC holding Mr. Muller liable for $7.5 million in
actual damages, imposing a $100,000 fine and barring Muller from any involvement with a publicly
traded company for 20 years. With prejudgment interest, this ruling brings the actual damages
against Muller to over $9 million. Additionally, the Court further clarified that the scope of its
previous disgorgement order required the disgorgement of any shares of the Companys stock that Mr.
Muller or any of his nominees directly or indirectly own or control. The Company has taken action
to cancel over 3.6 million shares which had been issued to the offshore companies.
The Court also confirmed the appropriateness of an action previously taken by the Company to
acquire the patent rights and to consolidate the manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights
with its ownership of all rights to the existing patents.
Finally, the Court ruled that Mr. Muller had no claim to an alleged $500,000 debt owed to him while
the damages of over $9 million remain unpaid. The Court also ruled that other assets that were
transferred by Mr. Muller to members of his family through various offshore corporations were also
to be disgorged. Because the Court left unresolved an issue concerning claims against one Muller
family member, the Company sought a modification of the Order. On February 8, 2007, Judge Maas
issued an Amended Order, which concluded that all of the STWA shares of Muller or any of his
nominees directly or indirectly owned or controlled were to be recaptured by STWA and were subject
to disgorgement and forfeiture. With this modification of the October 27, 2007 ruling, this order
provides the complete relief requested by the Company in its motion for summary judgment.
In April 2005, Jeffrey A. Muller, the Companys former sole director and executive officer, filed a
lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, seeking

declaratory
and injunctive relief and alleging unfair competition in connection with a claimed prior patent
interest in the ZEFS device and stock option rights. In seeking declaratory relief, Mr. Muller is
seeking to have the patent rights in the ZEFS device that were previously transferred to the
Company by Mr. Mullers bankruptcy trustee declared null and void.
This lawsuit brought by Mr. Muller arises out of the same claims that are the subject of ongoing
litigation in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which the
Company has previously obtained a preliminary injunction against Mr. Muller barring him from any
involvement with the Company and preventing Mr. Muller, his agents or assigns, from exercising any
claimed rights to the Companys assets or stock. Mr. Muller previously filed the same complaint in
the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, which claim is pending dismissal.
On December 28, 2004, Federal District Court Judge George B. Daniels issued a decision dismissing
motions filed by Mr. Muller against the Companys cross-claims. The dismissal of those motions
involved similar causes of action as those contained in Mr. Mullers recent lawsuit commenced in
the Federal District Court for the Central District of California. Since the case in New York is
still pending, the filing of the new lawsuit in California is subject to various defenses, which
should result in the dismissal of the new lawsuit.
On January 25, 2006, Mr. Mullers complaint, filed in the California District Court and transferred
to the Federal Court in the Southern District of New York, was assigned to Judge George B. Daniels.
That Complaint is currently pending, however, the issues raised in this Complaint arise from the
same claims already decided by the Court in its February 8, 2007 Amended Order. The Company plans
to file a request to dismiss the pending Complaint on several grounds, including that the claims
sought to be litigated in this latter complaint has been included within the Summary Judgment
Motions decided against Muller, his nominees and assignees. While the Company believes that the
Company has valid claims and defenses, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome
on the pending motions or a trial of this case would not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or cash flow.
Litigation Involving Sublessor of Former Corporate Offices
On July 19, 2007, Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. doing business as KZG (KZG) sued the Company
in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging unlawful detainer by the Company of its then-leased
corporate offices at 5125 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood, California, and failure to pay
past due rent and penalties in the aggregate amount of $104,413. In its complaint, KZG also seeks
attorney fees. Bruce H. McKinnon, the Companys former President and Chief Executive Officer, and
an incumbent director, is, the Company believe, the Chairman and an owner of KZG. Mr. McKinnons
wife is the President of KZG.
On July 25, 2007, the parties entered into an agreement pursuant to which KZG would dismiss the
eviction action. However, KZG reserved the right to amend their complaint to include a demand for
past due rent and penalties. The Company
agreed to vacate the premises and KZG agreed not to
further prosecute its eviction action. The Company

vacated the premises on July 25, 2007. The
Company is currently awaiting a decision by KZG to amend its complaint and thereafter the Company
will formulate its response to the suit.
While the Company believes that it has valid claims and defenses, given the inherent uncertainties
of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that an adverse result or outcome of this matter would not have a material adverse effect
on the Companys financial position or cash flow.
Employment agreements
In July 2005, the Company entered into an employment agreement with an individual to serve as a
Vice President of Operations for the Company. The agreement expired December 31, 2005, with an
automatic one-year extension and provided for annual base salary of not less than $120,000 per
year. Effective February 21, 2006, the individual was promoted to Executive Vice President, his
annual base salary was increased from $120,000 per year to $150,000 per year and the term of his
employment agreement was extended to December 31, 2007. Effective August 8, 2006, the individual
was promoted to Chief Operating Officer and his annual base salary was increased from $150,000 per
year to $200,000 per year. During the employment term, the individual is eligible to participate
in certain incentive plans, stock option plans and similar arrangements in accordance with the
Companys recommendations at award levels consistent and commensurate with the position and duties
hereunder.
On November 9, 2006, the individual who served as the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer resigned, due to a medical disability. His resignation as Chief Executive Officer
took effect on November 20, 2006 and his resignation as Chief Financial Officer took effect on
January 8, 2007. He will continue to serve as a director of the Company.
Under the terms of the separation agreement as an officer of the Company, he is entitled to be paid
out the remainder of the cash portion of his employment agreement through December 31, 2007, in
accordance with the Companys normal pay policies. Options granted
to him in February 2006 have been accelerated, fully vested on November 20, 2006 and were
recalculated under 123R. Additionally, the former officer will have until November 20, 2007 to
exercise such options. He is also entitled to receive a stock option grant in 2007 equal to the
lesser of (i) the number of stock options he was granted in 2006 or (ii) the highest number of
options granted to any of the then Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer on
an annualized basis, on terms no less favorable as granted to such person; provided, however, that
such options to be granted to the former officer shall be fully vested upon grant and shall be
exercisable for one year from the date of grant. The Company and the former officer have waived any
claims they may have against each other and have agreed to mutual indemnification. The Company
expensed $345,000 for the remaining term of his employment agreement and benefits for the year
ended December 31, 2006.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $177,000 was paid for employment
agreements.
Consulting agreements
In April 2006, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with an outside consultant to provide
public relations services. The terms of the agreement calls for monthly payments of $7,000.
Additionally, the Company issued a five-year warrant to the consultant. The warrant is exercisable
for up to 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.30 per share and vests as to
8,333 shares per month commencing April 30, 2006. The shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant
have piggyback registration rights. In August 2006 the Company terminated the agreement. The
consultant earned warrants to purchase 41,665 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase the
balance of 58,335 shares of common stock were forfeited.
Leases
During 2003, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with an entity to lease office space in
North Hollywood, California for its principal executive offices. Bruce H. McKinnon, the Companys
former President and Chief Executive Officer, and an incumbent director, is an owner of the
sublessor. Mr. McKinnons wife is the President of the sublessor and the Company believes that
Mr. McKinnon is presently the Chairman of the sublessor. See
Note 13, Subsequent Events.
In August 2005, the Company amended this sublease agreement. The original lease term was from
November 1, 2003 through October 16, 2005 and carried an option to renew for two additional years
with a 10 percent increase in the rental rate. Monthly rent under this
lease is $3,740 per month under this lease. The Company exercised its option to renew the lease
through October 15, 2007.
In January 2006, the Company further amended this sublease agreement, as a result of taking more
space and obtaining expanded support services. The term of the sublease was amended to July 31,
2007 and carried an option to renew for two additional years with a 10 percent increase in the
rental rate. Monthly rent was $6,208 per month under this amended sublease agreement. Additionally,
the Company began leasing two additional office spaces for $964 per month beginning July 2006 on a
month-to-month basis. The Company did not exercise its option to renew the sublease and vacated
the premises on July 25, 2007.
In November 2003, the Company entered into a lease for a research and development facility located
in Queensland, Australia. The term of the lease is from November 15, 2003

On July 12, 2007, KZ Golf, Inc. (KZG), the Companys landlord, presented to the Company a
Three-Day Notice to Pay or Quit, demanding payment of unpaid rent, additional rent and penalties,
in the aggregate amount of $104,413 as of such date. In addition to the unpaid rent during 2007,
it is apparently KZGs position that there is a discrepancy in the calculation of base rent as far
back as April 1, 2004 and that a penalty of $100 per day should be imposed continuously since
January 1, 2006 under the terms of a certain provision of the sublease between the Company and KZG
(the 2006 Sublease). As of June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a contingent liability in the
amount of $91,422. The Company does not admit that it owes either the entire amount claimed by KZG
or the entire amount recorded by it as a contingent liability. The Company did not exercise its
option to renew the 2006 Sublease.

Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the heading Risk
Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. All
forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on
the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Overview
The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and consolidated
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB and the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006.
We are a development stage company that generated our first revenues in the fourth quarter of
2006. Our focus is on research and development, and initial sales and marketing, of products
incorporating our proprietary and patented technology, which is designed to reduce harmful
emissions, and/or improve fuel efficiency and engine performance on equipment and vehicles driven
by internal combustion engines. We have devoted the bulk of our efforts to the completion of the
design, the development of our production models, testing of devices and the promotion of our
products in the marketplace. We anticipate that these efforts will continue during 2007, subject to
our ability to finance such efforts.
We face significant challenges in generating revenue and maintaining adequate working capital
during the remainder of 2007 as a result of several factors. Among other things, to date our
distributors, primarily located in Asia, have placed fewer orders than we had expected them to
place under the terms of
our distribution agreements with them. This resulted in our having less revenue and therefore less
working capital available for the further development of our business at a time when the operating
costs of our
- 41 -
Table of Contents
business have been increasing. Additionally, certain long-term financing transactions
that we were negotiating earlier this year have not materialized. In turn, this lack of adequate
working capital has put additional pressures on our ability to meet our obligations as they come
due, including without limitation, being able to order and pay for the tooling and manufacture of
products from third parties for sale to our distributors, being able to pay for shipment and
freight duties in connection with such sales, being able to make our filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in a timely manner, being able to prepare and file our proxy
statement and schedule our 2007 annual meeting of stockholders, and being able to pay our trade
creditors, professional advisors and others in a timely manner. We will require significant
additional outside capital during the remainder of 2007 in order to meet all of our obligations,
produce products for sale and ship such products.
Given our current circumstances, we anticipate that revenue will remain nominal for at least
the next few quarters, and unless and until we can simultaneously raise capital, reduce our
expenses and generate more meaningful revenue from the sale of our products. See Results of
Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
We are in the process of reviewing certain terms of our distribution agreement with Golden
Allied Enterprises (Group) Co., Ltd. (GAE), our distributor in China. Among other things, we
currently expect that we will again defer certain of GAEs order deadlines, including GAEs revised
obligation to order 100,000 units by July 31, 2007 (previously extended from July 31, 2006), by up
to one additional year until July 31, 2008, and we would like GAE to become a non-exclusive
distributor (rather than an exclusive distributor) for our ECO ChargR, MAG ChargR and ELEKTRA
products in China, while maintaining its exclusivity for the distribution of ZEFS and CAT-MATE
products in China. These negotiations have not concluded and therefore are subject to change.
Additionally, we have informally modified the terms of our distribution agreements with each of our
distributors in China, Indonesia and Vietnam, so that none of these distributors is required to
post letters of credit prior to or at the time that they place any further orders with us. These
modifications may increase somewhat our exposure in terms of being paid in a timely fashion for
products we ship to these distributors.
Our expenses to date have been funded primarily through the sale of stock and convertible
debt, as well as proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants. We raised capital in the
three-month period ended June 30, 2007 and subsequent to the end of the three-month period ended
June 30, 2007, and we will need to raise substantial additional capital during 2007, and possibly
beyond, to fund our sales and marketing efforts, the manufacture of products to our distributors,
continuing research and development, and certain other expenses, unless and until our revenue base
grows sufficiently.
Results of Operations
We did not generate any revenue for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. We
generated revenue of $22,000 and incurred cost of goods sold of $5,360 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007, compared to $-0- and $-0-, respectively, for the six-month period ended June
30, 2006.
Operating expenses were $1,023,787 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to
$1,852,870 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $829,083. This decrease is
attributable to decreases in non-cash expenses of $748,749 and cash expenses of $80,334.
Specifically, the non-cash decrease is attributable to the revaluation of options and warrants
given to employees and consultants ($771,047), partially offset by an increase in depreciation
($22,298). Decreases in cash expenses are attributable to decreases in travel expenses ($72,164),
corporate expenses ($35,211), and salaries and benefits ($3,279), partially offset by increases in
consulting and professional fees ($15,274), exhibits and trade shows ($8,666), and office and other
expenses ($6,380).
Operating expenses were $2,303,562 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to
$3,607,840 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $1,304,278. This decrease
is attributable to a decrease in non-cash expenses of $1,581,546, offset by an increase in cash
expenses of $277,268. Specifically, the non-cash decrease is attributable to the revaluation of
options and warrants given to employees and consultant ($1,634,364), partially offset by an
increase in depreciation ($52,818). Increases in cash expenses are attributable to increases in
consulting and professional fees ($188,907),
office and other expenses ($75,024), exhibits and trade shows ($33,228), and salaries and benefits
($30,859), partially offset by decreases in travel expenses ($31,607) and corporate expenses
($19,143).

Research and development expenses were $100,731 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2007, compared to $121,111 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, a
decrease of $20,380. This decrease is attributable to decreases in consulting fees ($31,740), and
travel and related expenses ($11,211), partially offset by an increase in product testing, research
and supplies ($22,571).
Research and development expenses were $441,183 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007, compared to $178,873 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, an increase
of $262,310. This increase is attributable to an increase in product testing, research and supplies
($351,676), partially offset by decreases in consulting fees ($63,423) and travel and related
expenses ($25,943).
Other expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 were $403,665, compared to
$1,018,244 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $614,579. This decrease is
attributable to decreases in non-cash interest expense ($720,488) and cash interest expense
($38,860), partially offset by an increase in financing costs ($137,791) and a decrease in interest
and other income ($6,978).
Other expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 were $713,439, compared to
$2,202,817 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $1,489,378. This decrease is
attributable to decreases in non-cash interest expense ($1,649,831) and cash interest expense
($86,419), partially offset by an increase in financing cost ($239,998) and a decrease in interest
and other income ($6,874).
We had a net loss of $1,528,183, or $0.04 per share, for the three-month period ended June 30,
2007, compared to a net loss of $2,992,225, or $0.09 per share, for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2006. We had a net loss of $3,442,344, or $0.09 per share, for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2007, compared to a net loss of $5,990,330, or $0.18 per share, for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2006. We expect to incur additional net loss in the fiscal year ending December 31,
2007, primarily attributable to continued operating and marketing-related expenditures without the
benefit of any significant revenue for the remainder of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We have incurred negative cash flow from operations in the developmental stage since our
inception in 1998. As of June 30, 2007, we had cash of $223,882 and an accumulated deficit of
$33,869,941. Our negative operating cash flow in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was
funded primarily through the sale of convertible notes, as well as sales of our stock by Dutchess
Private Equity Fund, LLP (Dutchess) under our equity line of credit.
The condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement
of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss of $1,528,183 and a
negative cash flow from operations of $881,953 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, a
net loss of $3,442,344 and a negative cash flow from operations of $2,202,478 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2007 and a stockholders deficiency of $2,527,077 as of June 30, 2007. These
factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional funds, generate revenue
and implement our business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Our current liabilities greatly exceed our assets and we are unable to meet our obligations as
they become due. Additionally, we have been unable to make certain payments to various parties for
amounts currently owed to them.
We face significant challenges in generating revenue and maintaining adequate working capital
during the remainder of 2007 as a result of several factors. Among other things, to date our
distributors, primarily located in Asia, have placed fewer orders than we had expected them to place under the
terms of our distribution agreements with them. This resulted in our having less revenue and
therefore less working capital available for the further development of our
business at a time when the operating costs of our
- 43 -

business have been increasing. Additionally, certain long-term financing
transactions that we were negotiating earlier this year have not materialized. In turn, this lack
of adequate working capital has put additional pressures on our ability to meet our obligations as
they come due, including without limitation, being able to order and pay for the tooling and
manufacture of products from third parties for sale to our distributors, being able to pay for
shipment and freight duties in connection with such sales, being able to make our filings with the
SEC in a timely manner, being able to prepare and file our proxy statement and schedule our 2007
annual meeting of stockholders, and being able to pay our professional advisors and outside
consultants in a timely manner. We will require significant additional outside capital during 2007
in order to meet all of our obligations, produce products for sale and ship such products.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, we raised an aggregate $1,043,012 gross
proceeds ($990,371 net proceeds) from the sale of our stock and the issuance of debt, as follows:
| Gross proceeds of $50,000 (net proceeds of $44,000) from the issuance of notes and related warrants in a private offering (the 2007 PIPE Offering) conducted by Spencer Clarke, LLC (Spencer Clarke), as exclusive placement agent, that began in January 2007 and was completed on April 27, 2007. | ||
| Gross proceeds of $583,012 (net proceeds of $536,371) from the issuance of stock under our equity line of credit from Dutchess. | ||
| Gross and net proceeds of $410,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and related warrants in a private offering (the Spring 2007 Offering). |
In addition, in June 2007, Eugene E. Eichler, our former Chief Executive Officer and an
incumbent director, and Cecil Kyte, an incumbent director, each personally loaned the Company
$5,000 to meet certain expenses. These loans were repaid to Messrs. Eichler and Kyte from the
proceeds of the 2007 Spring Offering (defined and discussed below).
Subsequent to end of the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, Mr. Eichler personally loaned
the Company an additional $50,000 in order to meet certain expenses. This loan is outstanding as
of the date of the filing of this Report.
In August 2007, we commenced another private offering (the 2007 Summer Offering) of up to
$300,000 principal amount of convertible notes, on substantially similar terms as the 2007 Spring
Offering, to a limited number of accredited investors, in order to raise additional working capital
for the Company. See Details of Recent Financing Transactions 2007 Spring Offering below.
Through August 17, 2007, we received $116,000 gross and net proceeds in the 2007 Summer
Offering, which is ongoing as of the date of the filing of this Report.
Details of Recent Financing Transactions
Equity Line of Credit. In September 2006, to address our longer-term capital needs, we
entered into what is sometimes referred to as an equity line of credit arrangement with Dutchess.
Specifically, we entered into an investment agreement, pursuant to which Dutchess is committed to
purchase up to $10,000,000 of our common stock over the 36-month term of the investment agreement.
We are not obligated to request any portion of the $10,000,000.
In connection with the equity line of credit, we filed a Registration Statement with the SEC
(the Dutchess Registration Statement) on October 6, 2006 to register 7,000,000 shares of Common
Stock that we may issue under the equity line of credit and the Dutchess Registration Statement was
declared effective by the SEC on October 30, 2006.
Under the line of credit we may, but are not obligated to, put shares of our stock to Dutchess
from time to time over a 36-month period, at a purchase price calculated at 97% of the lowest best
closing bid for our common stock for the five trading days following our put notice to Dutchess.
Because the price of our common stock fluctuates and the number of shares of our common stock, if
any, that we may issue, should we exercise our put rights under the equity line of credit, will
vary, we do not know how many shares, if
- 44 -
Table of Contents
any, we will actually issue under the equity line of
credit. If we put more than the amount that would require us to issue the 7,000,000 shares that we
have registered with the SEC, we would be required to file a new registration statement with regard
to the excess number of shares and have it declared effective by the SEC, before we could make
further puts under the equity line of credit.
The actual number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the equity line of credit is not
determinable as it is based on the market price of our common stock from time to time and the
number of shares we desire to put to Dutchess. Under the terms of the equity line of credit,
Dutchess may not own more than 4.99% of our issued and outstanding stock at any one time.
As we draw down on the equity line of credit, more shares will be sold
into the market by Dutchess. These additional shares could cause our stock price to drop. In turn,
if the stock price drops and we make more drawdowns on the equity line of credit, more shares will
come into the market, which could cause a further drop in the stock price. You should be aware that
there is an inverse relationship between our stock price and the number of shares to be issued
pursuant to the equity line of credit. If our stock price declines, we will be required to issue a
greater number of shares under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to utilize the full
amount available under the equity line of credit.
For purposes of the Dutchess Registration Statement, we assumed that we would put $9,913,400,
or all 7,000,000 shares, based on a closing price of our common stock on September 20, 2006 of
$1.46 per share, less the 3% discount applicable to the price per share that Dutchess would pay
under the terms of the equity line of credit. However, this may not in fact be the case. We would
only be able to put a total of approximately $5,908,000 for the same 7,000,000 shares, based on a
more current closing price of our Common Stock on January 11, 2007 of $0.87 per share, less the 3%
discount applicable to the price per share that Dutchess would pay under the terms of the equity
line of credit.
In part because of the drop of our stock price since the establishment of the equity line of
credit, we have not used the maximum amount of the equity line of credit to date that we could have
used. Additionally, our capital requirements are expected to increase for various reasons discussed
in this report and other filings we make from time to time with the SEC.
2007 PIPE Offering. From January 13 through April 27, 2007, the Company
conducted an offering (the 2007 PIPE Offering), through Spencer Clarke, as exclusive placement
agent, of up to $2,000,000 principal amount of its 10% convertible notes (the 2007 PIPE Notes).
Interest on the 2007 PIPE Notes, at a rate of 10% per annum, is payable quarterly. The Notes are
due nine months from date of issuance. The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an
initial conversion price of $0.70 per share (the Conversion Shares). The Company raised $400,000
gross proceeds ($352,000 net proceeds) in the 2007 PIPE Offering. The per share price of the
Companys common stock on the Pink Sheets during this period ranged from a low bid price (intraday)
of $0.58 to a high bid price (intraday) of $1.03.
The Company has the right to redeem any or all of the outstanding 2007 PIPE Notes in its sole
discretion anytime after the termination of the 2007 PIPE Offering and prior to the maturity date
of the 2007 PIPE Notes. The redemption price shall be the face amount of the redeemed Notes plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Subject to the following sentence, at any time prior to the
maturity date of the 2007 PIPE Notes, for each additional $1,000,000 of gross proceeds raised from
one or more offerings of the Companys equity or quasi-equity securities, the Company shall redeem
2007 PIPE Notes with a minimum face value of $500,000 together with accrued and unpaid interest,
until the entire outstanding 2007 PIPE Note is redeemed. Certain financings that the Company may
conduct outside of North America and only up to a maximum of UK £15,000,000 in the aggregate, are
exempt from this provision to redeem the 2007 PIPE Notes in whole or in part.
Investors in the 2007 PIPE Offering received, for no additional consideration, a warrant (the
2007 PIPE Warrant), entitling the holder to purchase a number of shares of the Companys common
stock equal to 150% of the number of shares of common stock into which the 2007 PIPE Notes are
convertible (the Warrant Shares). The 2007 PIPE Warrant will be exercisable on a cash basis only and will have
registration rights. The 2007 PIPE Warrant is exercisable at an initial price of $1.00 per share,
and is exercisable immediately upon issuance and for a period of three years from the date of
issuance.

Table of Contents
Promptly, but no later than 90 days following the closing date of the 2007 PIPE Offering, the
Company is required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares. The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that such registration
statement is declared effective within 120 days after filing. Due to the Companys current cash
flow and liquidity difficulties, including its inability to file all of its reports with the SEC in
a timely manner, the Company was unable to meet its obligations to file the registration statement
required under the terms of the 2007 PIPE Offering in a timely manner, the deadline for which was
June 27, 2007. The Company has begun discussions with Spencer Clarke, on behalf of the holders of
the 2007 PIPE Notes, for an extension of time to file the registration statement, but it is not
known what, if any, arrangements will be made in this matter.
2007 Spring Offering. From June 13, 2007 through June 26, 2007, the Company conducted a
private offering (the Spring 2007 Offering) of up to $550,000 aggregate face amount of its
convertible notes (the Spring 2007 Notes) with a small number of accredited investors. Of this
amount, $451,000 aggregate face amount of the Spring 2007 Notes were sold for an aggregate purchase
price of $410,000. Therefore, while the stated interest rate on the Spring 2007 Notes is 0%, the
actual interest rate on the Spring 2007 Notes is 10%. The Spring 2007 Notes mature on the first
anniversary of their date of issuance. The Spring 2007 Notes are convertible, at the option of the
noteholders, into shares of common stock of the Company (the Conversion Shares) at an initial
conversion price equal to the average of the closing bid price of the Companys Common Stock for
the five trading days preceding the closing dates of the Spring 2007 Offering (the Conversion
Prices). Up to 1,210,489 Conversion Shares are initially issuable at Conversion Prices of either
$0.34 or $0.53 per share, depending upon which of the two closing dates of the Spring 2007 Offering
the Spring 2007 Notes were sold. The per share price of the Companys common stock on the Pink
Sheets during this period ranged from a low bid price (intraday) of $0.35 to a high bid price
(intraday) of $0.59.
Each of the investors in the Spring 2007 Offering received, for no additional consideration, a
warrant (the Spring 2007 Warrants), entitling the holder to purchase a number of shares of the
Companys common stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock into which the Spring
2007 Notes are convertible (the Warrant Shares). Each Spring 2007 Warrant is exercisable on a
cash basis only at an initial price of $0.50 per share, and is exercisable immediately upon
issuance and for a period of two years from the date of issuance. Up to 605,242 Warrant Shares are
initially issuable on exercise of the Spring 2007 Warrants.
The Company received $410,000 gross and net proceeds in the 2007 Spring Offering. The proceeds
of the Spring 2007 Offering were used for general corporate purposes and working capital and have
been exhausted.
With the exception of some of the proceeds of the Spring 2007 Offering and some recent
draw-downs under our equity line of credit, the net proceeds of all of the offerings discussed
above are largely exhausted and we have cash on hand to meet expenses only for a short period of
time. In order to fund our capital needs for the foreseeable future, including the operations of
our business, and the repayment of our outstanding Bridge Notes and our 2007 PIPE Notes, both of
which series of notes are due by the end of 2007, and the Morale Orchards Notes, which are due in
December 2007 and January 2008, as well as the Spring 2007 Notes, which are due in June 2008, we
must raise substantial additional funds, in addition to the funds required to continue to operate
our business, including without limitation the expenses we will incur in connection with the
license and research and development agreements with Temple University, costs associated with
product development and commercialization of the ELEKTRA technology, costs to manufacture and ship
our products, costs to design and implement an effective system of internal controls and disclosure
controls and procedures, costs of maintaining our status as a public company by filing periodic
reports with the SEC, and costs required to protect our intellectual property. In addition, as
discussed below, we have substantial contractual commitments, including without limitation salaries
to our executive officers pursuant to employment agreements, certain severance payments to a former
officer and consulting fees, during the remainder of 2007 and beyond.
In light of the Companys financial commitments over the next several months
and its liquidity constraints, we are implementing cost reduction measures in all areas of
operations, including but not limited to personnel lay-offs and/or reductions in work, reductions
in marketing and advertising, deferral of placing orders to manufacturers of our ECO ChargR and MAG
ChargR products for sale to our existing distributors, reductions in research and development and
product development of ELEKTRA products, and reductions of certain other expenses. We intend to
review these measures on an ongoing basis and make additional decisions as may be required.

distributors, reductions in research and development and product development of ELEKTRA
products, and reductions of certain other expenses. We intend to review these measures on an
ongoing basis and make additional decisions as may be required.
We may continue to use our equity line of credit for some of our additional requirements for
2007. However, even if we continued to use our equity line of credit, it will not be sufficient to
meet all of our current liabilities and other obligations in 2007. Among other things, the thin
trading of our common stock may limit our ability to use the equity line of credit without
adversely affecting the price of our common stock. Therefore, in addition to the recently-completed
2007 Spring Offering and the current 2007 Summer Offering, the Company is actively pursuing
additional financing alternatives, but no commitments have been received and, accordingly, no
assurance can be given that any financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on
terms that are satisfactory to the Company. At present, we have relatively few financing options
available to us.
Contractual Obligations
The following table discloses our contractual commitments for future periods. Long-term
commitments are comprised operating leases and minimum guaranteed compensation payments under
employment and other agreements. See Note 12 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

(1) | This amount includes, with respect to the North Hollywood facility: (i) unpaid base rent from February 2007 through July 2007, in the aggregate amount of $43,032; (ii) $963 with respect to partially unpaid rent for January 2007; and (iii) a $100 per day penalty from January 1, 2006 through July 31, 2007, in the aggregate amount of $57,700, for unpaid rent and/or unpaid late fees claimed by the landlord, for which the landlord claims we are liable pursuant to a certain provision of the sublease. We believe that there are numerous reasons why we should not be liable for most, or all, of any such penalties; however, no assurance can be given that we would not be liable for any or all of such penalties. We did not renew the sublease for our corporate offices at North Hollywood, California, and vacated the premises prior to the expiration of the sublease on July 31, 2007. See Part II, Item 5, Other Information and Notes 12 and 13 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding this matter. We have renewed the lease for our engineering, production and testing facility at Morgan Hill, California, which facility now also serves as our corporate offices, for an additional two-year period, expiring on August 15, 2009. | |

Licensing Fees to Temple University. We have obtained a license from Temple University for
their patent-pending uniform electric field technology, tentatively called ELEKTRA. The ELEKTRA
technology consists of passing fuel through a specific strong electrical field.
We have entered into two license agreements with Temple University, one covering Temple
University s current patent application concerning certain electric field effects on gasoline,
kerosene and diesel fuel particle size distribution, and the other covering Temple Universitys
current patent application concerning electric field effects on crude oil viscosity, and any and
all United States and foreign patents issuing in respect of the technologies described in such
applications (individually, a License Agreement and collectively, the License Agreements).
Initially, the License Agreements are exclusive and the territory licensed to the Company is
worldwide. Pursuant to the License Agreements, the Company will pay Temple University (i) license
fees in the aggregate amount of $250,000.00, payable in three installments of $100,000.00, the
first installment of which was paid in March 2007, and $75,000.00 on each of February 2, 2008 and
February 2, 2009, respectively; and (ii) annual maintenance fees of $125,000 annually commencing
January 1, 2008. In addition, each License Agreement separately provides that the Company will pay
royalties to Temple University on net sales of products incorporating the technology licensed under
that License Agreement in an amount equal to 7% of the first $20 million of net sales, 6% of the
next $20 million of net sales and 5% of net sales in excess of $40 million. Sales under the two
License Agreements are not aggregated for purposes of calculating the royalties payable to Temple
University. In addition, the Company has agreed to bear all costs of obtaining and maintaining
patents in any jurisdiction where the Company directs Temple University to pursue a patent for
either of the licensed technologies. Should the Company not wish to pursue a patent in a particular
jurisdiction, that jurisdiction would not be included in the territory licensed to the Company.
We have also entered into a research and development agreement (R&D
Agreement) with Temple University to conduct further research on the ELEKTRA technology. Under the
R&D Agreement, Temple University will conduct a 24-month research project towards expanding the
scope of, and developing products utilizing, the technologies covered under the License Agreements,
including design and manufacture of prototypes utilizing electric fields to improve diesel,
gasoline and kerosene fuel injection in engines using such fuels and a device utilizing a magnetic
field to reduce crude oil viscosity for crude oil (paraffin and mixed base) flow in pipelines.
Pursuant to the R&D Agreement, we will make payments to Temple University in the aggregate amount
of $500,000.00, payable in eight non-refundable installments commencing with $123,750, which was
paid in March 2007, and $53,750 every three months thereafter until paid in full. If the research
project yields results within the scope of the technologies licensed pursuant to the License
Agreements, those results will be deemed included as rights licensed to the Company pursuant to the
License Agreements. If the research project yields results outside of the scope of the technologies
covered by the License Agreements, the Company has a six-month right of first negotiation to enter
into a new worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Temple University for the intellectual
property covered by those results.
A payment of $53,750 with respect to the R&D Agreement, which was due in June 2007, has not
yet been made to Temple University.
Severance Payments to Former Officers. On November 9, 2006, Eugene E. Eichler resigned as our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, due to a medical disability. Mr. Eichlers
resignation as Chief Executive Officer took effect on November 20, 2006 and his resignation as
Chief Financial Officer took effect on the appointment of his successor on January 8, 2007.
Under the terms of Mr. Eichlers separation as an officer of the Company, he is entitled to be
paid out the remainder of the cash portion of his employment agreement, at a rate of $300,000 per
annum, through
December 31, 2007, in accordance with the Companys normal pay policies. Options granted to him in
February 2006 have been accelerated and fully vested on November 20, 2006; additionally, Mr.
Eichler will have until November 20, 2007 to exercise such options. Mr. Eichler is also entitled to
receive a stock option grant in 2007 equal to the lesser of (i) the number of stock options Mr.
Eichler was granted in 2006
- 48 -
Table of Contents
or (ii) the highest number of options granted to any of the then Chief
Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer on an annualized basis, on terms no less
favorable as granted to such person; provided, however, that such options to be granted to Mr.
Eichler shall be fully vested upon grant and shall be exercisable for one year from the date of
grant. The Company and Mr. Eichler have waived any claims they may have against each other and have
agreed to mutual indemnification.
Of the payments we are required to make under this arrangement, we have paid $25,000 for
January 2007 and have accrued but not yet paid $125,000 through June 30, 2007, by agreement between
the Company and Mr. Eichler.
On June 15, 2007, the Company and Bruce H. McKinnon entered into an agreement (the McKinnon
Separation Agreement) which provided that Mr. McKinnon would resign as Chief Executive Officer of
the Company effective on the first to occur of (i) the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer
by the Board of Directors and (ii) July 31, 2007. Under the terms of the McKinnon Separation
Agreement, Mr. McKinnon would have continued to serve as President of the Company and receive the
compensation provided for in accordance with the provisions of the Employment Agreement between Mr.
McKinnon and the Company dated as of October 5, 2005 (the McKinnon Employment Agreement) through
December 31, 2007, the end of the term of that agreement. In addition Mr. McKinnon will continue
to serve as a Director of the Company, until he has resigned, been removed by the stockholders or
not been re-elected to the Board. The Company and Mr. McKinnon have waived any claims they may have
against each other and have agreed to mutual indemnification.
On July 18, 2007, Bruce H. McKinnon was removed by the Board of Directors as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, STWA Asia Pte. Limited
(STWA Asia), effective immediately. The Company is currently reviewing its rights and
responsibilities with respect to the McKinnon Employment Agreement, the McKinnon Separation
Agreement and other matters pertaining to Mr. McKinnons tenure as President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings and Item 5, Other Information.
Of the payments provided for under the McKinnon Employment Agreement, we have paid $20,000 for
January 2007 and have accrued but not yet paid $100,000 through June 30, 2007. We have not made any
payments to Mr. McKinnon under the McKinnon Separation Agreement.
Transactions with Spencer Clarke. Spencer Clarke has served as our exclusive placement agent
in recent offerings of our securities. We also have retained Spencer Clarke as a consultant to the
Company, for which it will be separately compensated.
We entered into a consulting agreement dated January 4, 2007 with Spencer Clarke (the
Consulting Agreement), pursuant to which Spencer Clarke has agreed that for a twelve-month period
beginning January 15, 2007, Spencer Clarke will provide us with financial consulting services
(including but not limited to executive search, strategic partnerships, research on new markets,
strategic visibility, etc) to help further develop our strategic business plan.
For Spencer Clarkes services, we have agreed to pay Spencer Clarke a non-refundable fee of
$20,000 per month, payable in advance. The first payment, in the amount of $60,000 and covering
three months, was payable by us on March 15, 2007. We will also reimburse Spencer Clarke for
expenses they incur in connection with the performance of their services under the Consulting
Agreement, provided that expenses in excess of $2,000 require our prior approval before they may be
incurred by Spencer Clarke.
We have agreed to indemnify Spencer Clarke against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
to which Spencer Clarke may become subject arising out of or in connection with the services they
render under the Consulting Agreement, unless it is finally judicially determined that such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities arose primarily out of the gross negligence or bad faith of Spencer
Clarke. We have also agreed to reimburse Spencer Clarke immediately for any legal or other expenses
they reasonably incur in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any
lawsuits or other proceedings arising out of or in connection with their rendering of services
under the Consulting Agreement; provided,
however, that in the event of a final judicial determination that the alleged losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arose primarily out of the gross negligence or bad faith of Spencer Clarke,
Spencer Clarke will remit to us any amounts reimbursed, but the amount which Spencer Clarke must
remit in such event is limited to the fee payable by us to Spencer Clarke under the Consulting
Agreement.

To date, we have not made any payments under the Consulting Agreement and have accrued
$120,000 through June 30, 2007 with respect to this obligation.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations
is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an on-going basis, our estimates and
judgments, including those related to the useful life of the assets. We base our estimates on
historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies
have a significant impact on the consolidated results that we report in our financial statements.
The SEC considers an entitys most critical accounting policies to be those policies that are both
most important to the portrayal of a companys financial condition and results of operations and
those that require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain at the time of
estimation.. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting policies of the Company, see Note 2
of Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, require significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Certain significant estimates were made in connection with preparing our condensed consolidated
financial statements as described in Note 1 to Notes to condensed consolidated financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, Revenue Recognition and therefore
recognizes revenue based upon meeting four criteria:
| Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; | ||
| Delivery has occurred or services rendered; | ||
| The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and | ||
| Collectibility is reasonably assured. |
The Company contract manufactures fixed magnetic field products and sells them to various
original equipment manufacturers in the motor vehicle and small utility motor markets. The Company
negotiates an initial contract with the customer fixing the terms of the sale and then receives a
letter of credit or full payment in advance of shipment. Upon shipment, the Company recognizes the
revenue associated with the sale of the products to the customer.
Long-lived assets
The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance
with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance
with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances
that
- 50 -
Table of Contents
indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews
the carrying values of long-lived assets to determine whether or not an impairment to such value
has occurred. No impairments were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company
recorded an impairment of approximately $505,000 during the period from inception (February 18,
1998) through December 31, 2006.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS 123R) which requires the measurement and recognition
of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on
estimated fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes the Companys previous accounting under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for periods beginning
in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107)
relating to SFAS 123R. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS
123R.
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires
the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Companys
fiscal year 2006. The Companys financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006
reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the
Companys financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not
include, the impact of SFAS 123R. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for
employee and directors for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2,253,263. Basic and diluted loss
per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 would have been ($0.21) per share, if the Company
had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared to reported basic and diluted loss per share of ($0.28) per
share.
SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards to
employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the
requisite service periods in the Companys Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation
expense recognized in the Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 included
compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of
January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro-forma
provisions of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123) and compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to January 1,
2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
For stock-based awards issued to employees and directors, stock-based compensation is attributed to
expense using the straight-line single option method, which is consistent with how the prior-period
pro formas were provided. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statements of
Operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it
has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the
time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from
those estimates. In our pro-forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to
fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.
The Companys determination of fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and
directors on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula
(Black-Scholes model), which is affected by the Companys stock price as well as assumptions
regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not
limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and
projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.
The Company has elected to adopt the detailed method provided in SFAS 123R for calculating the
beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects
of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and
Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are
outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123R.
The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued to non-employees for goods and
services using the guidance of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 96-18:
- 51 -
Table of Contents
Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, whereby the fair value of such option and warrant
grants is determined using the Black-Scholes model at the earlier of the date at which the
non-employees performance is completed or a performance commitment is reached.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157),
SFAS 157 establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines and
codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other authoritative literature,
clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements,
and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157
applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of
itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS
157 applies to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements,
except for; SFAS 123R, share-based payment and related pronouncements, the practicability
exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and
AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting
by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by
measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to
choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall
report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in
earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each
subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first
fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 159
will have a material affect on our financial statements.
Interpretation No. 48
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB
Statement No 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the determination of
whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the
financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax
position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination
by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits
recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest
benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48
also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes,
accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as
of June 30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of
California. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax
authorities for years after 2002.
During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry
forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since
these net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they
remain subject to examination. The Companys policy is to record interest and penalties on
uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2007, The Company has no accrued
interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
- 52 -
Table of Contents
The Company believes that it has not
taken any uncertain tax positions that would impact its condensed consolidated financial statements
as of June 30, 2007. Also as of the date of adoption, and as of June 30, 2007, the Company does not
have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
EITF 00-19-2
Effective in the first quarter of 2007 the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF
00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements issued on December 21, 2006 (FSP
00-19-2). FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or
otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment, whether issued as a separate
agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be
separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those
arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of EITF 00-19-2, this guidance is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and
interim periods within those fiscal years.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management evaluated, with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-QSB. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) are not adequate to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and
forms. These matters persist despite our having developed and partially implemented a plan to
ensure that all information will be recorded accurately, processed effectively, summarized promptly
and reported on a timely basis. Our plan to date has involved, in part, reallocation of
responsibilities among officers, various other personnel and some of our directors, and hiring
additional personnel. We began to implement this plan during 2005, including the hiring in August
2005 of a Controller who is a Certified Public Accountant. However,
the implementation of this plan has been affected by several factors. In December 2006 our Controller
retired, and in January 2007 our Chief Financial Officer retired, although our former Controller
still provides certain financial consulting services for us. We have hired a new part-time Chief
Financial Officer and a full-time Controller, although the latter is not a Certified Public
Accountant. In July 2007, our Board of Directors terminated our President and Chief
Executive Officer, and also in July 2007, we hired a new President and Chief Executive Officer
from outside the Company. One of several specific additional steps that the Company believes it must undertake is
to retain a consulting firm to, among other things, design and implement adequate systems of
accounting and financial statement disclosure controls during the current fiscal year to comply
with the requirements of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve our
disclosure controls and procedures will require a combination of additional financial resources,
outside consulting services, legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of
responsibility among various persons, and substantial additional training of those of our officers,
personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our Chairman of the Board and
committee chairs, who are charged with implementing and/or carrying
out our plan. The Company does not presently have sufficient capital
to move forward on the full implementation of this plan. It should also be
noted that the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how
remote.
(b) Changes
in internal control over financial reporting. Except for those
changes discussed above, there were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-QSB that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Litigation Involving Jeffrey A. Muller
On December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal District Court,
Southern District of New York, against us, our former President and then sole director Jeffrey A.
Muller, and others, alleging that we and the other defendants were engaged in a fraudulent scheme
to promote our stock. The SEC complaint alleged the existence of a promotional campaign using press
releases, Internet postings, an elaborate website, and televised media events to disseminate false
and materially misleading information as part of a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for
stock in our corporation, which was then controlled by Mr. Muller. On March 22, 2002, we signed a
Consent to Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief in settlement of this action as
against the corporation only, which the court approved on July 2, 2002. Under this settlement, we
were not required to admit fault and did not pay any fines or restitution. The SECs charges of
fraud and stock manipulation continue against Mr. Muller and others.
On July 2, 2002, after an investigation by our newly constituted board of directors, we filed
a cross-complaint in the SEC action against Mr. Muller and others seeking injunctive relief,
disgorgement of monies and stock and financial restitution for a variety of acts and omissions in
connection with sales of our stock and other transactions occurring between 1998 and 2002. Among
other things, we alleged that Mr. Muller and certain others sold Company stock without providing
adequate consideration to us; sold insider shares without making proper disclosures and failed to
make necessary filing required under federal securities laws; engaged in self-dealing and entered
into various undisclosed related-party transactions; misappropriated for their own use proceeds
from sales of our stock; and entered into various undisclosed arrangement regarding the control,
voting and disposition of their stock. On July 30, 2002, the U.S. Federal District Court, Southern
District of New York, granted our application for a preliminary injunction against Mr. Muller and
others, which prevented Mr. Muller and other cross-defendants from selling, transferring, or
encumbering any assets and property previously acquired from us, from selling or transferring any
of our stock that they may own or control, or from taking any action to injure us or our business
and from having any direct contact with our shareholders. The injunctive order also prevents Mr.
Muller from engaging in any effort to exercise control over our corporation and from serving as an
officer or director of our company. While we believe that we have valid claims, there can be no
assurance that an adverse result or settlement would not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or cash flow.
In the course of the litigation, we have obtained ownership control over Mr. Mullers claimed
patent rights to the ZEFS device. Under a Buy-Sell Agreement between Mr. Muller and dated December
29, 1998, Mr. Muller, who was listed on the ZEFS devise patent application as the inventor of the
ZEFS device, purported to grant us all international marketing, manufacturing and distribution
rights to the ZEFS device. Those rights were disputed because an original inventor of the ZEFS
device contested Mr. Mullers legal ability to have conveyed those rights.
In Australia, Mr. Muller entered into a bankruptcy action seeking to overcome our claims for
ownership of the ZEFS device. In conjunction with these litigation proceedings, a settlement
agreement was reached with the bankruptcy trustee whereby the $10 per unit royalty previously due
to Mr. Muller under his contested Buy-Sell Agreement was terminated and replaced with a $.20 per
unit royalty payable to the bankruptcy trustee. On November 7, 2002, under a settlement agreement
executed with Mr. Mullers bankruptcy trustee, the trustee transferred to us all ownership and
legal rights to this international patent application for the ZEFS device.
Both the SEC and we filed Motions for Summary Judgment contending that there are no material
issues of fact in contention and as a matter of law, the Court should grant a judgment against Mr.
Muller and the cross-defendants.
Mr. Muller and several of the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint filed by us
and moved for summary judgment in their favor. On December 28, 2004, Judge George B. Daniels,
denied the cross-defendants motion to dismiss our cross-complaint, denied the defendants request
to vacate the July 2, 2002 preliminary injunction and denied their request for damages against us.
The court also refused
- 54 -
Table of Contents
to grant a summary judgment in favor of the cross-defendants and dismissed Mr. Mullers claims
against us for indemnification for his legal costs and for damages resulting from the litigation.
Neither Mr. Muller nor any of the cross-defendants have filed any cross-claims against us and we
are not exposed to any liability as a result of the litigation, except for possibly incurring legal
fees and expenses should we lose the litigation.
On November 16, 2005, the Court granted the SECs motion for summary judgment. In granting the
motion, the Court has barred Mr. Muller from serving as an officer or director of a public company
for a period of 20 years, ordered Mr. Muller to disgorge any shares of our stock that he still owns
and directed the Company to cancel any issued and outstanding shares of our stock still owned by
Mr. Muller. Mr. Muller was also ordered to disgorge to the SEC unlawful profits in the amount of
$7.5 million and a pay a civil penalty in the amount of $100,000. Acting in accordance with the
ruling and decision of the Court, we have canceled (i) 8,047,403 shares of its common stock held by
Mr. Muller and/or his affiliates, (ii) options to acquire an additional 10,000,000 shares of our
common stock held by Mr. Muller personally and (iii) $1,017,208 of debt which Mr. Muller claimed
was owed to him by the Company.
Muller subsequently filed a Notice of Appeal from the Judgment resulting from this decision to
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. The clerk of the Court recently issued an Order
dismissing this appeal.
In response to the November 16, 2005 decision by the Court, Muller filed a motion seeking to
set aside the Decision and Order of the Court. On March 31, 2006, the Court issued a Decision and
Order denying Mullers Motion to set aside the Decision on Summary Judgment issued against Muller
on November 16, 2005.
On October 27, 2006, Magistrate Judge Frank Maas, Federal District Court of the Southern
District of New York, issued an order granting summary judgment in favor of the Company. The ruling
provided that all shares, options and any other obligations allegedly owed by the Company to
Jeffrey A. Muller, its former Chairman, were to be disgorged. The ruling also confirmed an earlier
decision issued on November 16, 2005 in favor of the SEC holding Mr. Muller liable for $7.5 million
in actual damages, imposing a $100,000 fine and barring Muller from any involvement with a publicly
traded company for 20 years. With prejudgment interest, this ruling brings the actual damages
against Muller to over $9 million. Additionally, the Court further clarified that the scope of its
previous disgorgement order required the disgorgement of any shares of the Companys stock that Mr.
Muller or any of his nominees directly or indirectly own or control. The Company has taken action
to cancel over 3.6 million shares which had been issued to the offshore companies.
The Court also confirmed the appropriateness of an action previously taken by the Company to
acquire the patent rights and to consolidate the manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights
with its ownership of all rights to the existing patents.
Finally, the Court ruled that Mr. Muller had no claim to an alleged $500,000 debt owed to him
while the damages of over $9 million remain unpaid. The Court also ruled that other assets that
were transferred by Mr. Muller to members of his family through various offshore corporations were
also to be disgorged. Because the Court left unresolved an issue concerning claims against one
Muller family member, the Company sought a modification of the Order. On February 8, 2007, Judge
Maas issued an Amended Order, which concluded that all of the STWA shares of Muller or any of his
nominees directly or indirectly owned or controlled were to be recaptured by STWA and were subject
to disgorgement and forfeiture. With this modification of the October 27, 2007 ruling, this order
provides the complete relief requested by the Company in its motion for summary judgment.
In April 2005, Jeffrey A. Muller, the Companys former sole director and executive officer,
filed a complaint against us in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California,
seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and alleging unfair competition in connection with a
claimed prior patent interest in the ZEFS device and stock option rights. In seeking declaratory
relief, Mr. Muller is seeking to have the patent rights in the ZEFS device that were previously
transferred to us by Mr. Mullers bankruptcy trustee declared null and void.
This lawsuit brought by Mr. Muller arose out of the same claims that are the subject of
ongoing litigation in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which we
have previously obtained a preliminary injunction against Mr. Muller barring him from any
involvement with the Company
- 55 -

and preventing Mr. Muller, his agents or assigns, from exercising any claimed rights to our assets
or stock. Mr. Muller previously filed the same complaint in the Federal District Court for the
Southern District of New York, which claim is still pending. On December 28, 2004, Federal District
Court Judge George B. Daniels issued a decision dismissing motions filed by Mr. Muller against our
cross-claims. The dismissal of those motions involved similar causes of action as those contained
in Mr. Mullers recent lawsuit commenced in the Federal District Court for the Central District of
California. Since the case in New York is still pending, we believe that the filing of the new
lawsuit in California is subject to various defenses which should result in the dismissal of the
new lawsuit.
On January 25, 2006, Mr. Mullers complaint, filed in the California District Court and
transferred to the Federal Court in the Southern District of New York, was assigned to Judge George
B. Daniels. That Complaint is currently pending, however, the issues raised in this Complaint arise
from the same claims already decided by the Court in its February 8, 2007 Amended Order. The
Company plans to file a request to dismiss the pending Complaint on several grounds, including that
the claims sought to be litigated in this latter complaint has been included within the Summary
Judgment Motions decided against Muller, his nominees and assignees. While we believe that we have
valid claims and defenses, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome on the
pending motions or a trial of this case would not have a material adverse effect on our financial
position or cash flow.
Litigation Involving Sublessor of Former Corporate Offices
On July 19, 2007, Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. doing business as KZG (KZG) sued us in
Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging unlawful detainer by us of our then-leased corporate offices
at 5125 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood, California, and failure to pay past due rent and
penalties in the aggregate amount of $104,413. In its complaint, KZG also seeks attorney fees.
Bruce H. McKinnon, the Companys former President and Chief Executive Officer, and an incumbent
director, is, we believe, the Chairman and an owner of KZG. Mr. McKinnons wife is the President of
KZG.
On July 25, 2007, the parties entered into an agreement pursuant to which KZG would dismiss
the eviction action. However, KZG reserved the right to amend its complaint to include a demand for
past due rent and penalties. We agreed to vacate the premises and KZG agreed not to further
prosecute their eviction action. We vacated the premises on July 25, 2007. We are currently
awaiting a decision by KZG to amend its complaint and thereafter we will formulate our response to
the suit.
We strongly disagree with the apparent position of KZG that there is a discrepancy in the
calculation of base rent as far back as April 1, 2004 and that a penalty of $100 per day should be
imposed continuously since January 1, 2006 under the terms of a certain provision of the current
sublease with KZG. There may also be other aspects of KZGs positions or apparent positions with
which we strongly disagree. We may also have counterclaims against KZG and its officers and
directors.
While we believe that we have valid claims and defenses, given the inherent uncertainties of
litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that an adverse result or outcome of this matter would not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or cash flow. Please also see Part II, Item 5, Other Information for
additional information regarding this matter.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, we sold $50,000 aggregate principal amount
of our 2007 PIPE Notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate 107,143 shares of our common stock at
$1.00 per share.
Also during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, we sold $451,000 aggregate face amount
of the Spring 2007 Notes, convertible into shares of our common stock at either $0.34 or $0.53 per
share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,815,731 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per
share. Because the 2007 Spring Notes were issued at a discount to their face amount, gross and net
proceeds to the Company were $410,000.

The sales of the securities described above were made in reliance on the exemptions from

Item 5. Other Information
The Companys former principal executive offices consisted of leased space in North Hollywood,
California. The Company subleased this space from KZG. Bruce H. McKinnon, the Companys former
President and Chief Executive Officer, and an incumbent director, is an owner of KZG. Mr.
McKinnons wife is the President of KZG and the Company believes that Mr. McKinnon is presently the
Chairman of KZG.
The Company originally entered into a sublease with KZG on October 16, 2003, which sublease
expired on October 16, 2005. The Company exercised an option to renew the sublease, which renewal
term was due to expire on October 15, 2007. Through October 16, 2005, the rent was $3,400 per month
for approximately 1,225 square feet, and for comprehensive office support services, including
reception, parking and conference facilities. During the extended lease term, the rent was $3,740
per month.
In connection with the Companys need to acquire additional office space and expanded services
as its business activities were then growing, the Company entered into a new sublease dated as of
January 1, 2006 with KZG (the 2006 Sublease), replacing the original sublease and the terms
applicable under the extended term thereof. The 2006 Sublease is for a term of 19 months, expiring
July 31, 2007. The new rent under the 2006 Sublease is $6,208 per month for approximately 1,700
square feet of office space, and for additional common area use, expanded office support services,
including a computer network, and additional parking spaces. The Company has the right to renew the
2006 Sublease for an additional term of two years at a 10% increase over the then-current rent.
Thereafter, in July 2006, the Company acquired two additional offices comprising approximately
250 square feet, and additional parking spaces, for which the Company pays KZG $964 per month in
additional rent on a month-to-month basis, or a total of $7,172 per month.
Due to the Companys current cash flow difficulties, it has not been able to make most of its
payments to KZG commencing January 2007. On July 12, 2007, KZG presented to the Company a Three-Day
Notice to Pay or Quit, demanding payment of unpaid rent, additional rent and penalties, in the
aggregate amount of $104,413 as of such date. In addition to the unpaid rent during 2007, it is
apparently KZGs position, taken for the first time, that there is a discrepancy in the calculation
of base rent as far back as April 1, 2004 and that a penalty of $100 per day should be imposed
continuously since January 1, 2006 under the terms of a certain provision of the 2006 Sublease.
For numerous reasons, the Company strongly disagrees with the apparent position of KZG that
there is a discrepancy in the calculation of base rent as far back as April 1, 2004 and that a
penalty of $100 per day should be imposed continuously since January 1, 2006 under the terms of a
certain provision of the 2006 Sublease. There may also be other aspects of KZGs positions or
apparent positions with which the Company strongly disagrees. The Company intends to fully assess
the situation, closely monitor all developments, continue discussions with KZG and take any and all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate. The Company did not exercise its option to renew
the 2006 Sublease.
As previously announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 15, 2007
(the Form 8-K), on June 15, 2007, the Company and Bruce H. McKinnon agreed and entered into the
McKinnon Separation Agreement, which provided that Mr. McKinnon would resign as Chief Executive
Officer of the Company effective on the first to occur of (i) the appointment of a new Chief
Executive Officer by the Board of Directors and (ii) July 31, 2007. At the time of the filing of
the Form 8-K and as
- 57 -
Table of Contents
stated therein, it was intended that Mr. McKinnon would continue to serve as President of the
Company and would continue to receive the compensation provided for in accordance with the
provisions of the McKinnon Employment Agreement, through December 31, 2007, the end of the term of
that agreement. Additionally, as stated in the Form 8-K, Mr. McKinnon will continue to serve as a
director of the Company, until he has resigned, been removed by the stockholders or not been
re-elected to the Board. The Company and Mr. McKinnon have waived any claims they may have against
each other and have agreed to mutual indemnification.
On July 18, 2007, Bruce H. McKinnon was removed by the Board of Directors as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, STWA Asia, effective
immediately. Mr. McKinnon also was removed by the Board of Directors as a director of STWA Asia,
effective immediately. Mr. McKinnon will continue to serve as a director of the Company, until he
has resigned, been removed by the stockholders or not been re-elected to the Board.
Also on July 18, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Charles R. Blum as
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Blum assumed his positions on June 25,
2007. Mr. Blum was also appointed to the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy created by the
resignation on June 5, 2007 of Maj. Gen. Dennis M. Kenneally (Ret.), which appointment took effect
upon Mr. Blums joining the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer.
Effective July 18, 2007, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Blum (the
Blum Employment Agreement), pursuant to which Mr. Blum will serve as the Companys President and
Chief Executive Officer, commencing on a mutually agreed date but not later than August 1, 2007.
Pursuant to the Blum Employment Agreement, Mr. Blums employment is for a one-year term, subject to
automatic one-year extensions and provides for annual base compensation of $200,000 per year,
subject to periodic review and adjustment. In addition, Mr. Blum will receive an automobile
allowance of $900 per month and four weeks of paid vacation annually. Mr. Blum is entitled to
participate in all employee benefit plans that the Company makes available to its employees
generally; provided that if Mr. Blum elects not to participate in the Companys group medical
insurance plan, he will be reimbursed in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the premium the
Company would have paid to include him as a participant in that group health insurance plan and
(ii) the sums paid by him in connection with maintaining his private health insurance. The Company
will also reimburse Mr. Blum the reasonable costs paid by him for maintaining DSL Internet access
and other direct costs of maintaining an office at his home, but only until such time as the
Company shall provide him with an office at a location reasonably acceptable to him.
Mr. Blum is eligible to receive stock option grants under the Companys stock option plan and
will receive an initial grant of options to purchase a number of shares of the Companys common
stock equal to the result of 100,000 divided by the closing price of a share of the Companys
common stock (the Closing Price) on the date Mr. Blum assumes his position as Chief Executive
Officer and President of the Company (the Effective Date). The options will vest on the first
anniversary of the Effective Date and will be exercisable at the Closing Price for 10 years from
the Effective Date.
Additionally, on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Mr. Blum is eligible to receive
a stock option grant under the Companys stock option plan to purchase a number of shares of the
Companys common stock equal to the result of 100,000 divided by the Closing Price on the first
anniversary of the Effective Date. These options will vest on the second anniversary of the
Effective Date and will be exercisable at the Closing Price on the first anniversary of the
Effective Date for 10 years from the date of grant.
Mr. Blum is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus in an amount equal to 2% of the Companys
net profit, if any, for its most recently completed fiscal year, computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently with prior periods. The bonus shall
be payable, if at all, on the anniversary date of employment of each year of the term if Mr. Blum
continues to be employed by the Company on the relevant payment date.
The Blum Employment Agreement also contains terms and conditions customary in agreements of
this kind, including provisions relating to protection of the Companys intellectual property,
non-disclosure and non-solicitation. The Blum Employment Agreement also provides, among other
things, that if Mr. Blums employment should terminate by reason of a change of control of the
Company he is entitled to
- 58 -

continue to receive compensation and participate in the Companys employee benefit plans for a
period of 12 months following such termination.
As an interim matter, on July 18, 2007, the Board of Directors appointed incumbent director
and former President and Chief Executive Officer Eugene E. Eichler as Acting President and Acting
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Eichler served in these capacities, without
compensation, from July 18, 2007 through July 24, 2007.
On July 19, 2007, KZG sued the Company in Los Angeles Superior Court (the KZG Litigation),
alleging unlawful detainer by the Company of our then-leased corporate offices at 5125 Lankershim
Boulevard, North Hollywood, California, and failure to pay past due rent and penalties in the
aggregate amount of $104,413. See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings Litigation Involving
Sublessor of Former Corporate Offices.
The Company is currently reviewing its rights and responsibilities with respect to the
McKinnon Employment Agreement, the McKinnon Separation Agreement, other matters pertaining to Mr.
McKinnons tenure as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the KZG Litigation.
On July 25, 2007, the Company vacated the premises in North Hollywood, California. On
August 9, 2007, the Company renewed the lease for its facility at 235 Tennant Avenue, Morgan Hill,
California, which facility now also serves as the Companys corporate offices. The renewed lease
is for a term of 24 months and expires on August 15, 2009. The new rent is $4,640 per month for the
first six months of the lease and $5,480 per month for the balance of the renewal term. The
Company has the option to renew the lease for an additional two-year period at the end of the
renewal term.
