1. Organization and basis of presentation
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim condensed 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, 2005, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The
balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 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 financial statements are adequate to make the information presented
therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004, 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 results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

1. Organization and basis of presentation continued
Description of business
Save the World Air, Inc. (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 device. The ZEFS is a
device, which is fitted to an internal combustion engine and is expected to reduce carbon
monoxide hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide emissions. During the past three 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. In 2003, the Company acquired worldwide intellectual property and
patent rights to technologies which reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrous
oxide emissions in two- and four-stroke motorcycles, fuel-injection engines, generators
and small engines. The Company has also developed prototype products and named them
CAT-MATE.
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 research and development 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
any revenues. The prototype devices are called ZEFS and CAT-MATE. The Company has
put forth efforts to complete the design, the development of production models and the
promotion of products in the market place worldwide. Expenses have been funded through
the sale of company stock. The Company has taken actions to secure the intellectual
property rights to the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices. In addition, the Company has initiated
marketing efforts to international governmental entities in cooperation with the United
Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and various original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs), to eventually sell or license the ZEFS and CAT-MATE products and technology.

2. 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 will 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, 2005 and 2004, the
dilutive impact of outstanding stock options of 14,452,652 and 14,422,652 respectively,
and 16,433,914 and 13,167,414 warrants have been excluded because their impact on the loss
per share is antidilutive.
3. | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151,
Inventory Costs. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43 Chapter 4 Inventory
Pricing, to require items such as idle facility costs, excessive spoilage, double freight
and rehandling costs to be expensed in the current period, regardless if they are abnormal
amounts or not. This Statement will become effective for us in the first quarter of 2006.
The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R), which revises SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123R also supersedes APB No. 25 and amends SFAS
No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. In general, the accounting required by SFAS 123R is
similar to that of SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123 gave companies a choice to either
recognize the fair value of stock options in their income statements or disclose the pro
forma income statement effect of the fair value of stock options in the notes to the
financial statements. SFAS 123R eliminates that choice and requires the fair value of all
share-based payments to employees, including the fair value of grants of employee stock
options, be recognized in the income statement, generally over the option vesting period.
SFAS 123R must be adopted no later than the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year
that begins on or after June 15, 2005 by non-small business issuers (or by the first fiscal year
that begins after December 15, 2005 for small
business issuers). Early adoption is permitted.

3. Recent accounting pronouncements continued
The Company is currently evaluating the timing and manner in which it will adopt SFAS
123R. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments
to employees using APB 25s intrinsic value method. Accordingly, adoption of SFAS 123Rs
fair value method will have an effect on results of operations, although it will have no
impact on overall financial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be
predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in
the future. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized
compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating
cash flow as currently required, thereby reducing net operating cash flows and increasing
net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.
4. | Certain relationships and related transactions |
Advances from founding executive officer
All of the marketing and manufacturing rights for the ZEFS were acquired from Mr. 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 in the amount of $500,000 for marketing and distribution rights of the ZEFS are
due to Mr. Muller. Such amounts are interest free and do not have any due dates for
payment.
In January 2000, the Company entered into an agreement offering Mr. Muller and Lynne
Muller, Mr. Mullers wife, the option to purchase 5,000,000 shares each at $0.10 per share
as consideration for work performed for the Company. Mrs. Muller subsequently transferred
her option to Mr. Muller.

4. | Certain relationships and related transactions continued |
Advances from founding executive officer continued
In connection with the Companys legal proceedings against Mr. Muller (see Note 8), the
Company is attempting to obtain a judgment that will relieve the Company of $1,017,208,
which represents all amounts due Mr. Muller. These amounts include the $500,000 due for
the marketing and distribution rights of the ZEFS and the working capital advances of
$517,208. The Company has been relieved of the $10 royalty interest that Mr. Muller held
for each unit sold. In addition, the Company is also attempting to obtain a judgment that
will divest and prevent any subsequent holders of the right to exercise options previously
held by Mr. Muller for 10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. Based on the
status of current legal proceedings, the Company does not believe that it will have to pay
Mr. Muller the $500,000 for the rights to the ZEFS device and the $517,208 of advances.
The Company has not made any adjustments for the above in its financial statements as the
matters have not yet been finalized.
Due to related parties
Masry & Vititoe, a law firm in which Edward Masry, the Companys Chief Executive Officer,
is a partner, has advanced $158,733 and $36,478 as of June 30,
2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively, to the Company for working capital purposes. Advances by Masry and Vititoe
were unsecured, non-interest bearing, and were due on demand. In April 2004, the Company
issued 60,000 shares of common stock to convert $15,000 of an outstanding loan made to the
Company by the wife of Edward Masry. The shares issued were valued at the current market
price at the date of issuance of $91,800 resulting in additional charge to expense of
$76,800, which was reflected as consulting expense in the financial statements for the six
months ended June 30, 2004.

share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, for net proceeds of
$870,200. The 920,000 warrants were issued to investors as part of an equity agreement
and were not ascribed any value in the accompanying financial
statements. See Note 10 for information about sales of
additional units.
In addition, the Company sold 481,000 units of common stock, of which 456,000 consist of
one share of common stock and one warrant to acquire a share of common stock at an
exercise price of $1.50 per share, for net proceeds of $481,000. The 456,000 warrants
were issued to investors as part of an equity agreement and were not ascribed any value in
the accompanying financial statements. As of June 30, 2005 the shares were not issued but
the funds were received, and have been reflected as common stock issuable.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued 100,000 shares (of which
50,000 relates to the exercise of warrants) of common stock for which payment was
previously received.
Options
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, 30,000 options were awarded to Terracourt Pty.,
Ltd. for settlement of a claim (see Note 8).
Warrants
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued 10,000 warrants to an
individual for settlement of a claim. The Company also issued 25,000 warrants to an
individual in exchange for consulting services rendered. The warrants were valued at an
aggregate amount of $18,462 using the Black Scholes pricing model and have been reflected

Intrinsic value of employee options
During the years ended December 31, 2004 and prior, certain employee options were granted
with exercise prices less the than fair market value of the Companys stock at the date of
grant. As the grants were to employees, the intrinsic value method, as allowed under APB
No. 25, was used to calculate the related compensation expense. For the six months ended
June 30, 2005, no employee options were granted and $76,068 and $501,068 of deferred
compensation costs was amortized and recognized as expense in the six months ended June
30, 2005 and 2004 respectively.
6. | Research and development |
The Company has established a research and development facility in Queensland, Australia.
The Company has expanded research and development to include applications of the ZEFS and
CAT-MATE technology to diesel engines, motorbikes, boats, generators, lawnmowers and other
small engines. The Company has also purchased test vehicles, test engines and testing
equipment. The Company completed testing on ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices for multiple
automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, off-road vehicles and stationary engines, the results of
which have been provided to RAND Corporation (RAND) for evaluation. During 2004, RAND
expanded its role with the Company and now oversees the Companys research and development
facility in Australia. The Company also uses third party research and development
facilities in Los Angeles and San Jose, California for the development of our ZEFS and
CAT-MATE devices. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company has spent
$592,122 and $1,402,719, respectively, on research and development.
7. | Going concern |
The accompanying 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 financial statements, the
Company had a net loss of $1,839,573 and a negative cash flow from operations of $1,346,296
for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and had a working capital deficiency of $1,478,618
and a stockholders deficiency of $2,464,766 at June 30, 2005. These factors raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to raise
additional funds and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.

Legal matters
On December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal District
Court, Southern District of New York, against its 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 the Companys 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
for the Company, 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 the Companys
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 filings 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 arrangements regarding the control, voting and disposition of
their stock. The Company contends that it is entitled to a judgment canceling all of the
approximately 8,716,710 shares of the Companys common stock that were previously obtained
and controlled, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Muller; divesting and preventing any
subsequent holders of the right to exercise options previously held by Mr. Muller for
10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, conversion of an existing preliminary
injunction to a permanent injunction to prevent Mr. Muller from any involvement with the
Company and a monetary judgment against Mr. Muller and others in the amount of several
million dollars.

Legal matters continued
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 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 Company and from serving as an officer or director of the
Company. The Company believes that it has valid claims; however, 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 has filed a
response contending the motions are without merit or substance. A final decision on these
motions, which potentially would terminate the ongoing litigation, is still pending.
Should the Court not grant summary judgment in favor of the Company, the case will be
scheduled for final disposition in a trial.

Legal matters continued
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 21, 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.
Although the outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty,
the Company is optimistic that the Courts ruling will either significantly narrow the
issues for any later trial or will result in a final disposition of the case in a manner
favorable to the Company. The Company believes that they have valid claims; however,
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 the Companys financial
position or cash flow.
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.

Legal matters continued
This recent 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.
The Company intends to vigorously defend against any bifurcation of the lawsuit that is
ongoing in New York and will move to dismiss and/or to transfer the recently filed
complaint to Judge Daniels in New York for any eventual decision. While the Company
believes that it has valid claims, 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 the financial position or cash flow of the Company.
The Company was named as a defendant in a complaint filed before the Los Angeles Superior
Court, Civ. No. BC 312401, by Terracourt Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation
(Terracourt), claiming breach of contract and related remedies from promises allegedly
made by the former president of the Company in 1999. Terracourt sought specific
performance of the former presidents alleged promises to transfer to Terracourt an
aggregate 480,000 shares of the Companys common stock for office consultant and
multimedia services. The complaint was filed on March 18, 2004. Terracourt also filed a
Statement of Damages seeking costs of the lawsuit and general damages of $2 million. The
case proceeded to trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court in May, 2005. In June, 2005,
the Judge issued a statement of decision which denied Terracourts claims for 450,000
shares of stock, monetary damages, and costs of the lawsuit. The Court also ruled that
Terracourt was entitled to receive an option exercisable for 30,000 shares of the
Companys common stock, exercisable at $.001 per share (par value). Both parties have
filed motions for a new trial on the issue of the opinion. The Court is expected to rule
on these motions on or before the end of September, 2005.

9. | Restatement |
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company discovered an error in the previously
reported June 30, 2004 financial statements related to the valuation of shares issued for
services and options granted to employees and non-employees. These financial statements
reflect the correction of the error in the June 30, 2004 amounts. The correction of this
error resulted in an increase in net loss of $960,599, an increase additional paid in
capital of $977,070 and an increase in deferred compensation of $18,352.
The effect of this restatement on the June 30, 2004 financial statement is as follows:

Subsequent to June 30, 2005, the Company sold an additional 199,500 units, consisting of
one share of common stock and one warrant to acquire common stock at $1.50 per share for
$199,500 gross proceeds ($183,540 net proceeds) in a private offering of securities. The
Company completed this offering on July 22, 2005. Upon completion of the offering, the
Company extended the expiration date of all warrants issued in the offering by an
additional 180 days. The Company did not receive any additional consideration for this
extension.
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 expires December 31,
2005, with an automatic one-year extension and provides for annual base compensation of
not less than $120,000 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.

statements.
Overview
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Part I,
Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB and the Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
We are a development stage company that has not yet generated revenues. The companys focus is
on research and development 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. Our prototype devices are called ZEFS and CAT-MATE. We have devoted the
bulk of our efforts to the completion of the design, the development of our production models and
the promotion of our products in the market place worldwide. Expenses have been funded through the
sale of company stock. We have taken actions to secure our intellectual property rights to the ZEFS
and CAT-MATE devices.
During the second quarter of 2005, certain developments occurred which we hope will expedite
our transition from research and development into production and marketing.
We are continuing our marketing efforts to international governmental entities in cooperation
with UNEP and various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), to eventually sell or license our
ZEFS and CAT-MATE products and technology. We anticipate that these efforts will continue during
2005 and that we will begin selling our devices by late 2005. We do not envision generating
significant revenue in 2005. We will need to raise additional capital during 2005 to fund our
research and development efforts and other expenses. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Results of Operations
23
Table of Contents
To date, we have not generated any revenues and our business continues in the development
stage. We have focused our efforts on verifying and developing our technologies and devices and
commencing marketing efforts for their license or sale. We expect to begin selling our devices in
late 2005.
General and administrative expenses were $583,880 for the three-month period ended June 30,
2005, compared to $871,933 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $288,053.
This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash amortization of deferred
compensation and consulting fees, professional fees and travel expenses, partially offset by an
increase in corporate expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $1,245,475 for the six-month period ended June 30,
2005, compared to $1,497,552 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $252,077.
This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash amortization of deferred
compensation and consulting fees, partially offset by increases of corporate expense, professional
fees, payroll expenses, travel expense, consulting fees, office expenses and advertising and
promotion.
Research and development expenses were $190,637 for the three-month period ended June 30,
2005, compared to $1,292,912 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of
$1,102,275. This decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction of non-cash research expense,
offset by increases in product testing and RAND research.
Research and development expenses were $592,122 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005,
compared to $1,402,719 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $810,597. This
decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction of non-cash research expense, partially offset by
increases of RAND research and product research.
We expect our operating costs to increase during the balance of fiscal year 2005, primarily as
a result of anticipated increases in research and development expenses, general and administrative
expenses and marketing expenses as we approach production and sales activities during late 2005.
We had a net loss of $774,517, or $.02 per share, for the three-month period ended June 30,
2005, compared to a net loss of $2,164,731, or $.06 per share, for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2004. We had a net loss of $1,839,573, or $.05 per share, for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of $2,900,757, or $.08 per share, for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2004. We have relied upon our 2004 Stock Option Plan to compensate consultants and
employees who have assisted in developing and executing our business plan. This reliance, together
with issuances of stock by us in connection with our ongoing private offering of stock and
warrants, has significantly narrowed the loss per share by increasing the total number of the
Companys outstanding common stock. See Liquidity and
Capital Resources below. We expect to incur additional net loss in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, primarily attributable to
continued general and administrative expenses and marketing-related expenditures, without the
benefit of any revenue for most of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred negative cash flow from operations in the developmental stage since our
inception in 1998. As of June 30, 2005 we had cash of $211,985 and an accumulated deficit of
$18,970,460. Our negative operating cash flow since inception (October 2001) has been funded
primarily through the sale of common stock and, to a lesser degree, by proceeds we received from
the exercise of options and warrants.
The financial statements accompanying this 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 financial statements, we had a
net loss of $1,839,573 and a negative cash flow from operations of
$1,346,296 for the six-month
period ended ,June 30, 2005, and had a working capital deficiency of $1,478,618 and a stockholders deficiency of
$2,464,766 as
24
Table of Contents
of June 30, 2005. 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 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.
From July 24, 2004 through July 22, 2005, we engaged in a private offering (the Stock
Offering) of units comprised of shares of our common stock and one-year warrants to purchase an
equal number of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The Stock Offering
terminated on July 22, 2005. From April 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005, we received aggregate gross
proceeds of $761,000 and aggregate net proceeds of $702,120 in connection with the sale of 761,000
shares of our common stock to 17 purchasers. The total amount raised during the Stock Offering
was $2,892,000 gross proceeds and $2,677,440 net proceeds. See Notes 5 and 10 to Notes to
Financial Statements and Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds.
As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 28, 2005, on July 25, 2005 we extended the expiration date of each of the
warrants issued in the Stock Offering by 180 days from its original expiration date. No additional
consideration was paid by the purchasers of the units for such extension.
Following the completion of the period covered by this report, we commenced a new offering
(the Interim Offering) of 9% convertible notes and warrants to the purchasers of the units in the
Stock Offering and a limited number of individuals who are not U.S. persons as that term is
defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We
are relying on the Interim Offering to provide additional working capital for our needs for the
next several months. We believe that, depending upon the success of the Interim Financing, we will
have sufficient cash to fund our operations through the remainder of 2005. If we are not
successful in raising sufficient cash in the Interim Financing, then we will need to raise
additional capital or incur new debt to fund our operations.
We have also retained the services of an exclusive placement agent to work with us after the
completion of the Interim Financing to provide additional capital that we need to continue to
execute on our business plan. We believe that exercises of in-the-money options and warrants, with
various expiration dates that have been extended into 2006, may also provide some of the proceeds
needed to meet our capital requirements, together with sales of our securities in connection with
the efforts of our placement agent.
However, there can be no assurance that additional equity or debt financing will be available
or available on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be
required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate, our research and development programs, reduce
any marketing activities or relinquish rights to technologies that we might otherwise seek to
develop or commercialize.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of 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
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 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
25
Table of Contents
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. We believe the following
critical accounting policies, among others, require significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our 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 financial statements as
described in Note 1 to Notes to Financial Statements. See Item 7, Financial Statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation to employees as defined by using the intrinsic-value
method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees.
We account for stock option and warrant grants issued to non-employees using the guidance of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs. This Statement amends the guidance in
ARB No. 43 Chapter 4 Inventory Pricing, to require items such as idle facility costs, excessive
spoilage, double freight and rehandling costs to be expensed in the current period, regardless if
they are abnormal amounts or not. This Statement will become effective for us in the first quarter
of 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R), which revises SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123R also supersedes APB No. 25 and amends SFAS No. 95,
Statement of Cash Flows. In general, the accounting required by SFAS 123R is similar to that of
SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123 gave companies a choice to either recognize the fair value of
stock options in their income statements or disclose the pro forma income statement effect of the
fair value of stock options in the notes to the financial statements. SFAS 123R eliminates that
choice and requires the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including the fair
value of grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement, generally over the option vesting period. SFAS 123R
must be adopted no later than July 1, 2005 (December 15, 2005 for small business filers). Early
adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the timing and manner in which it will adopt SFAS 123R. As
permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using
APB 25s intrinsic value method. Accordingly, adoption of SFAS 123Rs fair value method will have
an effect on results of operations, although it will have no impact on overall financial position.
The impact of adoption of SFAS 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on
levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had SFAS 123R been adopted in prior
periods, the effect would have approximated the SFAS 123 pro forma net loss and loss per share
disclosures as shown above. SFAS 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of
recognized compensation cost to be reported

as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as currently required, thereby
reducing net operating cash flows and increasing net financing cash flows in periods after
adoption.
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 Quaterly 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 inadequate 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. We are developing a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed,
summarized and reported on a timely basis. This plan is dependent, in part, upon reallocation of
responsibilities among various personnel, possibly hiring additional personnel and additional
funding. It should also be noted that the design of any system of controls 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: There was no change 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
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. We contend that we are entitled to a judgment canceling all
of the approximately 8,716,710 shares of our common stock that was previously obtained and
controlled, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Muller; divesting and preventing any subsequent holders
of the right to exercise options previously held by Mr. Muller for 10,000,000 shares of our common
stock, conversion of an existing preliminary injunction to a permanent injunction to prevent Mr.
Muller from any involvement with the Company and a monetary judgment against Mr. Muller and others
in the amount of several million dollars.
27
Table of Contents
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 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 has filed a response contending the motions
are without merit or substance. A final decision on these motions, which potentially would
terminate the ongoing litigation, is still pending. Should the Court not grant summary judgment in
our favor, the case will be scheduled for final disposition in a trial.
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 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.
Although the outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, we
are optimistic that the Courts ruling will either significantly narrow the issues for any later
trial or will result in a final disposition of the case in a manner favorable to us. While we
believe that we have valid claims, 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.
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 us by Mr. Mullers bankruptcy trustee declared null and void.

Table of Contents
This recent 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
we have 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 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.
We have filed a Motion to Dismiss this new complaint or alternatively, to transfer this action
to the Federal District Court in New York for disposition by the same Federal District Judge
handling the New York litigation. 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.
We were named as a defendant in a complaint filed before the Los Angeles Superior Court, Civ.
No. BC 312401, by Terracourt Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation (Terracourt), claiming breach of
contract and related remedies from promises allegedly made by the former president of the Company
in 1999. Terracourt sought specific performance of the former presidents (Jeffrey Muller) alleged
promises to transfer to Terracourt an aggregate 480,000 shares of our common stock for office
consultant and multimedia services. The complaint was filed on March 18, 2004. Terracourt also
filed a Statement of Damages seeking costs of the lawsuit and general damages of $2 million. The
case proceeded to trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court in May, 2005. In June, 2005, the Judge
issued a statement of decision which denied Terracourts claims for 450,000 shares of stock,
monetary damages and costs of the lawsuit. The Court also ruled that Terracourt was entitled to
receive an option exercisable for 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock, exercisable at $.001
per share (par value). Both parties have filed motions for a new trial on the issue of the option.
The Court is expected to rule on these motions on or before the end of September 2005.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company sold an aggregate 761,000
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 761,000 additional shares of common stock at $1.00
per share, to certain investors in connection with the Companys Stock Offering. Gross proceeds to
the Company in connection with these issuances were $761,000 and net proceeds were $702,120. Of
this amount, 456,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a similar number shares of
common stock had not been issued as of June 30, 2005.
The issuances of shares and warrants described above were made in reliance on the exemptions
from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or Regulations D or S promulgated thereunder.
