Item 1. Business
The discussion of our business is as of the date of filing this report, unless otherwise
indicated.
General
Overview
We are a development stage company that is transitioning to operations. We have not yet
generated revenues. Much of our focus remains on research and development of our proprietary and
patented devices that are designed to reduce harmful emissions, and improve fuel efficiency and
overall performance on equipment and vehicles driven by internal combustion engines. Our devices
are called ZEFS and CAT-MATE. Historically, 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 marketplace worldwide.
During 2005, we also began to focus on the initial marketing of our devices. We entered into
the first agreements for the distribution of our products in late 2005 and early 2006. We
anticipate that we will
begin delivering devices under these agreements commencing in the
second quarter of 2006 and we currently believe that we
will begin to generate revenue during the third quarter of 2006. In addition, we have
initiated marketing efforts
1
Table of Contents
to international governmental entities in cooperation with the United
Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and the
aftermarket to sell or license our ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices and technology.
During the past four years, we have been acquiring new technologies, developing products using
our technologies, conducting scientific tests regarding our technologies and prototype products,
and initiating sales and marketing efforts. We have taken actions within the U.S. and
internationally to secure our intellectual property rights to the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices. In
late 2003, the Company acquired worldwide intellectual property and patent rights to technologies
which reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen emissions in 2- and 4-stroke
motorcycles, fuel-injection engines, generators and small engines. We acquired the worldwide
manufacturing and marketing rights to the ZEFS device from its inventors.
Expenses to date have been funded through the sale of company stock and the issuance of debt.
We will need to raise additional capital during 2006 to fund our sales and marketing efforts,
continuing research and development, and certain other expenses.
Our company was incorporated on February 18, 1998, as a Nevada corporation under the name
Mandalay Capital Corporation. We changed our name to Save the World Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999
following the acquisition of marketing and manufacturing rights of the ZEFS device. Our mailing
address and executive offices are located at 5125 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood,
California, 91601. Our telephone number is (818) 487-8000. Our corporate website is
www.savetheworldair.com. Information contained on the website is not deemed part of this Annual
Report.
Governmental Mandates to Reduce Air Pollution
The incomplete and inefficient burning of fossil fuel in internal combustion engines results
in unburned gases, such as hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide being expelled as harmful emission as a
by-product of the engines exhaust. These emissions have contributed to significant air pollution
and depletion of the ozone layer that protects the worlds atmosphere from harmful ultraviolet
radiation. As a result, the world has experienced significant deterioration to its air quality
since the beginning of the 20th century and the problem has gotten progressively worse with each
passing year. Forecasts published by the World Resources Institute indicate that this trend will
continue to accelerate.
Governments internationally recognize the serious effects caused by air pollution and have
enacted legislation to mandate that engine manufacturers be required to reduce exhaust emissions
caused by their products. As evidenced by the overwhelming participation in the establishment of
the Kyoto Accord, most nations are moving towards tighter emissions control. The EU requires all
member nations to adopt EURO3 emissions standards, and many Asian and Eastern European countries
have also announced gradual phase-in of this standard. The cost of adding emissions control devices
has always been a mitigating factor, shifting the cost burden to the consumer. In developing
nations, where incomes are extremely low, economics and the lack of government resources have
hampered progress. Nonetheless, we anticipate that the social and political realities of protecting
our environment may result in further government mandates that manufacturers adopt better cost
effective solutions, such as our ZEFS device, for reducing motor emissions.
Our Business Strategy
Our Devices
Our principal business focus currently rests with development and distribution of devices
designed to solve the complex problems caused by pollution from motorcycles, automobiles and other
equipment driven by internal combustion engines and to improve the performance of those engines. We
have designed and tested multiple versions of the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices for use on 2- and
4-stroke carbureted
and fuel injection gasoline engines and are currently in the process of adapting this technology to
work on engines that use diesel fuels.

Table of Contents
ZEFS devices contain permanent rare-earth magnets, which produce a very strong magnetic field.
This field, when arranged in specific manner of shape and strength, causes a molecular change in
the fuel as it passes through the field. This in turn causes a drop in viscosity and surface
tension in the fuel allowing finer atomization, resulting in a more optimized mixture and therefore
more efficient combustion. Hence lower emissions, more horsepower and torque and improved fuel
economy. The scientific theory behind the technology is explained in detail in the draft final
report from the RAND Corporation, which oversaw our testing. ZEFS devices are easily fitted to
the base plates of carburetors and fuel injection systems; the devices are compact, there are no
moving parts. They are also inexpensive to
produce, extremely durable and unaffected by poor quality fuel.
Historically, manufacturers of vehicles, motorcycles, power sports equipment, boats and small
utility motors have had very few technological options to reduce emissions to the strictest levels
of current and future government standards. The approach used by engine manufacturers to address
this mandate has thus far generally taken the form of installing catalytic converters, which work
on the principle of super heating gases within the exhaust manifold after the damaging gases have
been created through internal combustion.
These traditional devices are expensive, and sensitive to the poor quality and adulterated
fuel that is commonly found in developing nations. Bad fuel can permanently damage a catalytic
converter with the first tank full, whereas the ZEFS device is unaffected by the problem of bad
fuel. Catalytic converters also do not share the benefits of ZEFS technology of increased fuel
efficiency and performance. In fact, in many cases catalytic converters are detrimental to mileage
and power.
CAT-MATE devices enhance the function of common catalytic converters, when incorporated into
their design. The device consists of a series of specifically shaped steel rings that, when placed
in line with the exhaust flow before and/or after the catalytic substrate, facilitates acceleration
in heat rise in the converter. This allows the converter to ignite quicker and easier on small
displacement motors, which build heat much slower than do large displacement models. CAT-MATE also
helps retain heat in the converter, allowing it to stay lit under idling and low RPM operation.
Small motors, especially 2-stroke versions, are subject to low exhaust velocity and heat during
idling, which causes most converters to extinguish and then become fouled with oil and contaminants
eventually rendering them difficult to relight or useless.
CAT-MATE devices are not only designed to perform the functions stated above on both 2- and
4-stroke gasoline engines, along with diesel motors, but also perform as well as or better than an
OEM catalytic converter, at a fraction of their cost. Specifically, CAT-MATE is designed for use
on two- and four-stroke motorcycles, off-road and marine vehicles, generators, lawn mowers, on
stationary implements and on carbureted and fuel injection motor vehicles.
Testing by the Companys own R&D efforts, as well as by independent sources, has demonstrated
that the use of ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices generate significant reductions in hydrocarbon, oxides of
nitrogen and carbon monoxide emissions and, in the case of ZEFS devices, also improves gas
consumption and mileage performance.
Research and Development
We are actively continuing our development of the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices for
use on gasoline and diesel powered engines and have taken steps to finalize devices to fit on carbureted, throttle body and multi-port fuel injection systems.
We have used these prototype devices as demonstration units, during presentations, before
manufacturers. It is our objective to facilitate the adoption of this technology by engine,
carburetor, muffler and exhaust manufacturers.
We have successfully developed multiple ZEFS devices for use on one-, two- and four-barrel
carbureted engines and created production CAD drawings for these devices and produced multiple
samples
using aluminum housings and pre-production prototypes made of high temperature polymers. We have
also created several prototype devices for use on fuel injection engines.

Because of the complexity and enormity of the task of designing variants of ZEFS and CAT-MATE
devices to fit every make and model, we rely on the cooperation of manufacturers to support this
function, including engineering, marketing, and installation of the devices. Additionally, we are
cognizant that in order to preserve the integrity of the warranties provided by manufacturers, they
must be involved in the process of designing and installing the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices on legacy
vehicles. We envision that a cooperative venture between manufacturers and us will result in the
most optimal mechanism for the installation of ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices on the greatest percentage
of vehicles possible, through agreements between the company, manufacturers and their dealerships.
We are also engaged in the research and development of ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices for use on
diesel engines, such as those used on trucks, buses, heavy equipment and generators. Because these
types of vehicles use engines provided from Cummins, Caterpillar, or Detroit Diesel almost
exclusively, the number of ZEFS and CAT-MATE variants needed to service these fleets is
considerably less than the number required to satisfy other markets. This fact alone makes entry
into the diesel engine market extremely attractive for our business, offering a large number of
potential customers with a minimum of expense for research and development of product variants.
In the third quarter of 2005, we established a state-of-the-art research and product
development facility in Morgan Hill, California, to compliment our R&D center in Queensland,
Australia. We have completed testing of 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 for evaluation. RAND was responsible for overseeing our R&D when that effort was
based in Queensland. In connection with the establishment of our Morgan Hill facility, we
transitioned the major focus of our R&D from Queensland to Morgan Hill. RAND assisted us in
setting up our testing protocols at Morgan Hill. Our Queensland facility now focuses on novel
technology research under the direction of our senior engineer and consultant, Adrian Menzell.
RAND has now completed the majority of its work for us and is focusing on finalizing its report to
us on the theoretical and technical issues relating to magnetism and fuels. In early 2005, we
phased out the use of our third party R&D and testing facility in Los Angeles, California.
We spent $1,873,464 in fiscal year 2004 and $1,150,361 in fiscal 2005 on research and
development. Please see Item 6, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation Results of Operations and Note 9 to Notes to Financial Statements for a
more complete understanding of our research and development expense in 2005.
Independent Laboratory and Scientific Testing
The four internationally recognized emissions standards testing agencies for the certification
of motor vehicles, parts, systems and aftermarket devices are the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), California Air Resources Board (CARB), United Kingdom Vehicle
Certification Agency (VCA) and TUF (Germany/EU).
We have performed independent laboratory testing of our ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices in order to
gain better market acceptance by manufacturers and governmental regulatory officials. Research and
testing using government standard test equipment in the United
States, Thailand and Hong Kong has
demonstrated that the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices may lead to engine emissions, such as carbon
monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons, while also improving fuel consumption and
performance.
In December 2002, we retained RAND to study the validity and market potential of our
technology. RAND determined then that sufficient theoretical basis exists to warrant entry into a
comprehensive product-testing program. As a result, in May 2003, we entered into an arrangement in
which RAND would coordinate and supervise both a theoretical scientific study of the concepts
underlying the ZEFS device as well as an empirical study. In response to an RFP that RAND sent to
14 universities in
the US, Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was chosen to research our technology.
Draft reports have been provided by RAND and their final report is in the process clearing peer
review.

Tests of our CAT-MATE device on a Honda 2-stroke NSR 150 motorcycle and a Warrior 2-stroke
63cc generator conducted by Hong Kong Exhaust Emissions Laboratory (HKEEL) in July and August 2004
showed that CAT-MATE devices reduce emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and
hydrocarbons (THC). These results were certified by United Kingdoms VCA in January 2005.
In emissions and fuel economy tests conducted in 2004 and 2005 at Automotive Testing and
Development Services, Inc. in Ontario, California Emissions, and in 2005 at Northern California
Diagnostics Laboratory in Napa, California, both EPA-approved testing laboratories, on a CAT-MATE
device within the OEM exhaust system of a 1995 Mexican fuel injected Volkswagen Beetle taxi, showed
significant reductions of CO, NOX and THC emissions, compared to the in-place original OEM exhaust
system.
Additional testing of our ZEFS device was conducted in December 2005 on a used 4-stroke
motorcycle in Bangkok, Thailand at Automotive Emission Laboratory, Pollution Control Department,
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Thailand, and was performed jointly with S.P.
Suzuki of Thailand, the authorized distributor of Suzuki products in Thailand. These certified
test results surpassed hot start EURO 2 standards in all three of the harmful exhaust emissions,
CO, NOX and THC, by the following amounts:
THC | NOx | CO | ||||
EURO2 Standard |
1.20 g/km | 0.30 g/km | 5.50 g/km | |||
With ZEFS Device |
0.52 g/km | 0.10 g/km | 1.42 g/km | |||
% Below EURO2 |
56% | 65% | 74% |
In addition, during the testing horsepower increased at all ranges, peaking at 18.8% at 50km/h
and fuel economy increased 33% over the baseline tests.
The most recent testing was conducted in early March 2006 at HKEEL, a certified laboratory of
the United Kingdoms VCA. In multiple certified tests of our ZEFS device on a new
Chinese-manufactured carbureted 4-stroke Suyijia SZK125 motorcycle. These certified test results
surpassed EURO3 standards for motorcycles of 150cc or less in all three of the harmful exhaust
emissions, CO, NOX and THC, by the following amounts:
THC | NOx | CO | ||||
EURO 3 Standard |
0.8 g/km | 0.15 g/km | 2.0 g/km | |||
With ZEFS Device |
0.33 g/km | 0.108 g/km | 1.86 g/km | |||
% Below EURO 3 |
59% | 28% | 7% |
In addition, during the testing fuel economy increased 7% over the baseline tests.
Of further note of the recent HKEEL testing, is the fact that it is difficult to meet EURO 3
guidelines because the testing includes a cold start phase. The cold start phase includes
exhaust emissions created when a motor is started after an 8-hour
cold soak. It is during this warm-up
time that engines produce their highest level of emissions. This is also where many catalytic converters fail
because they must be heated to about 300 degrees (Fahrenheit) to begin working effectively.

Marketing
In October 2004, we commenced marketing efforts for our emission control and
performance-enhancing ZEFS and CAT-MATE technologies and these efforts continued throughout 2005.
We are focused on selling or licensing our technologies and devices domestically and
internationally to motorcycle, automobile, carburetor, fuel-injection and diesel engine
manufacturers as well as, exhaust and muffler original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the
after-market. We have presented our ZEFS and CAT-MATE technologies to OEMs in the United States,
Asia and Europe.
We entered into our first distribution agreements for our products in late 2005 and early
2006. Our first two US distributorship agreements with Team Phantom of Alaska and Motorcycle
Products Consulting of California, provides for the sale of our ZEFS devices in the North American
OEM and after-market for motorcycles through the distributors to certain named prospective
purchasers.
In January 2006, we entered into our first international distributorship agreement, with
Golden Allied Enterprises (Group) Co., Ltd. (GAE). The agreement provides that GAE will serve as
our exclusive distributor for our ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices in the Peoples Republic of China. The
agreement with GAE is conditioned upon our ZEFS device achieving EURO2 standards in tests to be
conducted in Shanghai. These tests are currently scheduled for April 2006.
Based on the success of recent testing of our ZEFS device meeting EURO3 standards, we now also
intend to seek distribution opportunities for our devices in Europe, in addition to our marketing
efforts in the United States and Asia. See Independent Laboratory and Scientific Testing above.
We also intend to pursue marketing of our products in developing nations of the world.
Harmful exhaust emissions from motorcycles and automobiles in developing countries is at the
highest levels because of the continued widespread use of older models with either no or
malfunctioning catalytic converters. We intend to continue to work with governments worldwide at
all levels, together with industry, to capitalize on our technology to achieve what we know to be
common global environmental objectives.
In November 2004, management met with UNEP in New York to enlist its aid with this objective.
By UNEP invitation, we participated in a UNEP-sponsored meeting in Bali , Indonesia in December
2004, which resulted in the initiation of informal negotiations with United Nations and government
officials to explore the possibility of pilot programs using our technology in Indonesia, Kenya ,
Mexico, Thailand, Brazil and Sri Lanka.
We also participated in a United Nations sponsored Summit in Lake Toba, North Sumatra,
Indonesia in March 2005. This resulted in an announcement by the Lake Toba Summit Chair, Nico
Barito, endorsed by HRH Sri Sultan Hamengkubowono X of Yogyakarta and the Governor of North
Sumatra, Razil Nurdin, of two pilot programs intended to minimize carbon monoxide emissions,
hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen, by installing our devices on 10,000 student motorcycles at
universities in Yogyakarta and Medan in Indonesia. We expect to deliver the first installment of
our devices for this project during the second quarter of 2006. While this project is not expected
to generate any revenue for us, we believe that it will provide evidence of the utility of our
low-cost, easy-to-install technologies in developing countries, which may then seek ways to finance
the purchase of our products.
Competition
The automotive and motor engine industry is highly competitive. We have many competitors in
the United States and throughout the world developing technologies to make engines more
environmentally friendly and fuel efficient. Many of our competitors have greater financial,
research, marketing and staff resources than we do. For instance, automobile manufacturers have
already developed catalytic converters on automobiles, in order to reduce emissions. While we
believe that our technology has greater benefits, it may be unable to gain market acceptance.
Furthermore, research and development throughout the world is constantly uncovering new
technologies. Although we are unaware of any technologies that compete
directly with ours, there can be no assurance that any existing or future technology is or will be
superior to our ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices.

Table of Contents
Government Regulation
Our research and development activities are not subject to any governmental regulations that
would have a significant impact on our business to date and we believe that we are in compliance
with all applicable regulations that apply to our business as it is presently conducted. Depending
upon whether we manufacture or license our devices in the future and in which countries such
devices are manufactured or sold, we may be subject to regulations, including environmental
regulations at such time.
Intellectual Property
In December 1998, the Company acquired all of the marketing and manufacturing rights to the
ZEFS technology from the purported inventor of the technology in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of
our common stock, $500,000 and $10 royalty for each unit sold. In November 2002, under our
settlement with the bankruptcy trustee for the estate of the purported inventor and his wife, the
trustee transferred all ownership and legal rights to the international patent application for the
ZEFS device to us. In exchange for these rights, we gave the bankruptcy trustee an option to
purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 share and $0.20 royalty on each device we
sell. See Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings and Note 1 to Notes to Financial Statements below.
In May 2002, we settled a dispute with Kevin Pro Hart, who claimed proprietary rights to the
ZEFS technology. He assigned to us all his rights to the ZEFS technology in exchange for an option
to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 share and a $0.20 royalty on each device we
sell. Mr. Hart currently serves as a member of our Advisory Board. See Advisory Board below.
The CAT-MATE technology was created by Adrian Menzell, a member of our research team in
Australia. On August 20, 2003, Mr. Menzell filed preliminary Australian patent application
#2004900192 for the CAT-FLAP. This technology was enhanced and on June 4, 2004, Mr. Menzell filed
preliminary Australian patent application #2004903000 for the CAT-MATE. On September 1, 2003, we
entered into an Assignment Agreement with Mr. Menzell, pursuant to which this technology was
assigned to us in exchange for 20,000 shares of our common stock and a royalty of $.25 for each
CAT-MATE device sold. On June 26, 2004, we received a deed of assignment from Mr. Menzell and each
pending patent application was transferred to our name. Mr. Menzell currently serves as our senior
engineer and a consultant to our company.
ZEFS Patent Applications
We obtained the patent application for the ZEFS MK1 device [PCT/AU1/00585] originally filed in
Australia on May 19, 2000. The International Filing Application for our ZEFS MK1 technology was
filed on May 21, 2001 (Official No. 10/275946) [PCT/AU1/00585] and modified as ZEFS MK2 on July 9,
2003. On November 4, 2003 we filed for our ZEFS MK3 (#2003906094). The United States Patent and
Trademark Office issued a Notice of Allowance of Patent dated January 24, 2005. The duration of the
patent is 20 years from the date the original application was filed. Prior to the issuance of such
patent, we relied solely on trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technological innovation to
develop our technology and the designs and specifications for the ZEFS technology. Overall, we have
applied for a patent on an international basis in approximately 64 countries worldwide.
ZEFS MK1Device For Saving Fuel and Reducing Emissions. This fuel saving device has a disk-
like nonmagnetic body provided with a central opening and a number of permanent magnets having
opposed polarities positioned about the central opening to provide multidirectional magnetic
fields. The device is positioned in a fuel air mixture to reduce emissions.

CAT-MATE Patent Applications
CAT-FLAP
(Afterburner) Improvements in or Relating to Emission Control Systems. A catalytic
converter is provided in an engine exhaust flow to reduce emissions. A valve is provided downstream
from the catalytic converter. The valve is in a closed position when the exhaust flow volume is low
to keep the hot exhaust gas around the catalytic converter to keep the catalytic converter within
its operational temperatures. When the exhaust flow volume is high (e.g. the engine is revving) the
catalyst is kept at its operational temperature by normal gas flow and valve is opened to not
impede exhaust flow. A simple hinge flap is one method by which this can be achieved.

Table of Contents
Prior to June 21, 2006, it will be necessary to file an International patent application to
keep patent rights pending in over 120 countries. We intend to make this filing in a timely
manner.
We have entered into agreements with certain employees and consultants, which limit access to,
and disclosure or use of, our technology. There can be no assurance, however, that the steps we
have taken to deter misappropriation of our intellectual property or third party development of our
technology and/or processes will be adequate, that others will not independently develop similar
technologies and/or processes or that secrecy will not be breached. In addition, although
management believes that our technology has been independently developed and does not infringe on
the proprietary rights of others, there can be no assurance that our technology does not and will
not so infringe or that third parties will not assert infringement claims against us in the future.
Management believes that the steps they have taken to date will provide some degree of protection,
however, no assurance can be given that this will be the case.
Employees
As of December 31, 2005, we had seven full-time employees and seven part-time employees. As of
such date, we also utilized the services of three full-time consultants in our R&D facility in
Australia and three additional part-time consultants to assist us with various matters, including
marketing. We intend to hire additional personnel to provide services when they are needed on a
full-time basis. We recognize that our efficiency largely depends, in part, on our ability to hire
and retain additional qualified personnel as and when needed and we have adopted procedures to
assure our ability to do so.
Advisory Board
Our Advisory Board provides specific expertise in areas of research and development relevant
to our business and meets with our management personnel from time to time to discuss our present
and long-term research and development activities. Our Advisory Board members are:
Sir Jack Brabham, Triple Formula One World Champion and Twice Formula One World Constructors
Champion, is an expert in the areas of racing car design.
Kevin Pro Hart, is a famous Australian artist and inventor of the ZEFS device.
Jack Reader, Ph.D., Director, BIFS Technologies Corporation. Mr. Reader is a systems engineer
and an expert in business management and energy conservation.
Bobby Unser, Jr., Founder, Unser Driving, Inc. Mr. Unser is an expert in motor racing and
stunt driving.
Risk Factors
We expect to incur future losses and may not be able to achieve profitability.
We have not yet generated any revenue from operations and, accordingly, we have incurred net
losses every year since our inception in 1998. Although we expect to generate revenue beginning in
2006 from sales of our ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices, we anticipate net losses and negative cash flow
to continue for the foreseeable future until such time as our products are brought to market in
sufficient amounts to offset operating losses. As planned, we have significantly expanded both our
research and development efforts, and our sales and marketing efforts, during the past year.
Consequently, we will need to generate significant additional revenue to fund our operations. This
has put a proportionate corresponding demand on capital. Our ability to achieve profitability is
entirely dependent upon our research and development efforts to deliver a viable product and the
companys ability to successfully bring it to market. Although our management is optimistic that we
will succeed with marketing the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices we cannot be certain as to timing or
whether we will generate sufficient revenue to be able to operate profitably. If we cannot achieve
or sustain profitability, we may not be able to fund our expected cash needs or continue our
operations.
11
Table of Contents
We will need additional capital to meet our operating needs, and we cannot be sure that
additional financing will be available.
As of December 31, 2005 and thereafter, our expenses ran, and are expected to continue to run,
at a burn rate of approximately $350,000 per month. Our current capital resources will be
sufficient to fund operations only through May 2006, and we will require additional capital in
order to operate beyond this date. In order to fund our capital needs for the foreseeable future,
we intend to begin a private offering in the first or second quarter of 2006 for the sale of our
common stock for an amount that would provide us sufficient capital for the remainder of 2006 and
the foreseeable future thereafter. Management cannot predict with certainty that the offering will
be successful to provide adequate funds, or any funds at all. If we cannot obtain needed capital,
our research and development, and sales and marketing plans, business and financial condition and
our ability to reduce losses and generate profits are likely to be materially and adversely
affected.
We will need additional capital to repay certain short-term debt as it matures during 2006.
We issued an aggregate of $1,075,000 of our 9% convertible subordinated notes to investors in
late 2005 and early 2006 (the Bridge Notes). The Bridge Notes mature on the earlier of May 31,
2006 or the successful completion of an offering of our securities of $5,000,000. We intend to
begin a private offering in the first or second quarter of 2006 for the sale of our common stock
for an amount that would provide us sufficient capital for the repayment of the Bridge Notes,
among other things.
In addition, we also issued an aggregate of $1,501,378 of our 9% convertible subordinated
notes (the Investor Notes) due July 31, 2006 to certain investors. The Company may, at its
option, require that the Investor Notes be converted into shares of our Common Stock if we raise
at least $5,000,000 in new financing.
Management cannot predict with certainty that the planned stock offering in 2006 will be
successful to provide adequate funds, or any funds at all, to repay the Bridge Notes or to require
the conversion of the Investor Notes on or prior to their respective maturity dates. If we do not
raise adequate funds, we would be unable to repay these obligations as they mature during 2006.
As a company with an unproven business strategy, our limited history of operations makes
evaluation of our business and prospects difficult.
Our business prospects are difficult to predict because of our limited
operating history, early stage of development and unproven business strategy. Since our
incorporation in 1998, we have been and continue to be involved in development of products using
our technology, establishing manufacturing and marketing of these products to consumers and
industry partners. Although we believe our technology and products in development have significant
profit potential, we may not attain profitable operations and our management may not succeed in
realizing our business objectives.
If we are not able to devote adequate resources to product development and commercialization,
we may not be able to develop our products.
Our business strategy is to develop, manufacture and market ZEFS and CAT-MATE products using
our technology. We believe that our revenue growth and profitability, if any, will substantially
depend upon our ability to:
| raise additional needed capital for research and development; |
| complete development of our products in development; and | ||
| successfully introduce and commercialize our new products. |
12
Table of Contents
Certain of our products are still under various stages of development. Because we have limited
resources to devote to product development and commercialization, any delay in the development of
one product or reallocation of resources to product development efforts that prove unsuccessful may
delay or jeopardize the development of other product candidates. Although our management believes
that it can finance our product development through private placements and other capital sources,
if we do not develop new products and bring them to market, our ability to generate revenues will
be adversely affected.
The commercial viability of the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices remains largely unproven and we may
not be able to attract customers.
Despite the fact that have entered into our first distribution agreements, to the best of our
knowledge, no consumer or automobile manufacturer has used the ZEFS or CAT-MATE devices to reduce
motor vehicle emissions to date. Accordingly, the commercial viability of our devices are not known
at this time. If commercial opportunities are not realized from the use of the ZEFS and CAT-MATE
devices, our ability to generate revenue would be adversely affected.
If our products and services do not gain market acceptance, it is unlikely that we will become
profitable.
The market for products that reduce harmful motor vehicle emissions is evolving and we have
many successful competitors. Automobile manufacturers have historically used various technologies,
including catalytic converters, to reduce exhaust emissions caused by their products. At this time,
our technology is unproven, and the use of our technology by others is limited. The commercial
success of our products will depend upon the adoption of our technology by auto manufacturers and
consumers as an approach to reduce motor vehicle emissions. Market acceptance will depend on many
factors, including:
| the willingness and ability of consumers and industry partners to adopt new technologies; | ||
| the willingness of governments to mandate reduction of motor vehicle emissions; | ||
| our ability to convince potential industry partners and consumers that our technology is an attractive alternative to other technologies for reduction of motor vehicle emissions; | ||
| our ability to manufacture products and provide services in sufficient quantities with acceptable quality and at an acceptable cost; and | ||
| our ability to place and service sufficient quantities of our products. | ||
If our products do not achieve a significant level of market acceptance, demand for our products will not develop as expected and it is unlikely that we will become profitable. |
Any revenues that we may earn in the future are unpredictable, and our operating results are
likely to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
We believe that our future operating results will fluctuate due to a variety of factors,
including:
| delays in product development; | ||
| market acceptance of our new products; | ||
| changes in the demand for, and pricing, of our products; | ||
| competition and pricing pressure from competitive products; | ||
| manufacturing delays; and |
13
Table of Contents
| expenses related to, and the results of, proceedings relating to our intellectual property. |
A large portion of our expenses, including expenses for our facilities, equipment and
personnel, is relatively fixed and not subject to significant reduction. In addition, we expect our
operating expenses will continue to increase significantly in 2006 as we further increase our
research and development, production and marketing activities. Although we expect to generate
revenues from sales of our products in the future, revenues may decline or not grow as anticipated
and our operating results could be substantially harmed for a particular fiscal period. Moreover,
our operating results in some quarters may not meet the expectations of stock market analysts and
investors. In that case, our stock price most likely would decline.
If we lose our key personnel or are unable to attract and retain additional personnel, we may
be unable to achieve profitability.
Our future success is substantially dependent on the efforts of our senior management,
particularly Eugene Eichler and Bruce McKinnon. The loss of the services of members of our senior
management may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of product development and other
business objectives. Because of the scientific nature of our business, we depend substantially on
our ability to attract and retain qualified marketing, scientific and technical personnel. There is
intense competition among specialized automotive companies for qualified personnel in the areas of
our activities. If we lose the services of, or do not successfully recruit key marketing,
scientific and technical personnel, the growth of our business could be substantially impaired. We
do not maintain key man insurance for any of these individuals.
We may face costly intellectual property disputes.
Our ability to compete effectively will depend in part on our ability to develop and maintain
proprietary aspects of our technology and either to operate without infringing the proprietary
rights of others or to obtain rights to technology owned by third parties. Our pending patent
applications, specifically patent rights of the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices, may not result in the
issuance of any patents or any issued patents that will offer protection against competitors with
similar technology. Patents we receive may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented in the future
or the rights created by those patents may not provide a competitive advantage. We also rely on
trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing invention to develop and maintain our competitive
position. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and
techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets.
Our common stock is subject to penny stock regulation, which may make it more difficult for us
to raise capital.
Our common stock is considered penny stock under SEC regulations. It is subject to rules that
impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities. For
example, broker-dealers must make a suitability determination for the purchaser, receive the
purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to sale, and make special disclosures
regarding sales commissions, current stock price quotations, recent price information and
information on the limited market in penny stock. Because of these additional obligations, some
broker-dealers may not effect transactions in penny stocks, which may adversely affect the
liquidity of our common stock and shareholders ability to sell our common stock in the secondary
market. This lack of liquidity may make it difficult for us to raise capital in the future.
Item 2. Properties
Our principal executive offices consist of leased space in North Hollywood, California. We
lease this space from KZ Golf, Inc., pursuant to a lease we entered into on October 16, 2003 and
which expired on October 16, 2005. We exercised an option to renew the lease, which now expires on
October 13, 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 new lease term, the rent is $3,740 per month. We believe that
our North Hollywood facility is adequate for
14
Table of Contents
our current and planned administrative activities, and can provide additional space if
required by us in the future.
Bruce H. McKinnon, our President and a director, is an owner of KZ Golf, Inc. Management
believes that the terms of the lease with KZ Golf, Inc. are no less favorable than what we would
have had to pay for equivalent space and comparable services with an unaffiliated party.
Our research and development facility located in Queensland, Australia is leased. We entered
into the lease for this facility on November 15, 2003 for a term of two years, and extended the
lease on a month-to-month basis thereafter until March 14, 2006. The rent during this period was
AUD $1,292 (approximately US $956) per month. On March 14, 2006, we entered into a new lease for
this facility for a term of two years commencing March 15, 2006 at a rent of AUD $1462
(approximately US $1,082). Upon the termination of the term of the lease, we have the option to
renew the lease up to two times, each for an additional two-year term, at an increase over the base
rent of the greater of 5% or the increase in the annual consumer price index in Australia. We
believe that our present research and development facility is adequate for our current and planned
activities and that suitable additional or replacement facilities in the Queensland area are
readily available on commercially reasonable terms should such facilities be needed in the future.
Our engineering, production and testing facility is located in Morgan Hill, California. The
lease for this facility was entered into on September 1, 2005 and amended on February 1, 2006. The
term is for two years, expiring on August 31, 2007. The base rent is $4,160 per month for
approximately 5,600 square feet of industrial usage space, and is renewable, at our option, for two
additional years at the then prevailing market rate. We believe that this space is adequate for
our current and planned engineering, production and testing activities.
Item 3. 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.
15
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 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 filed a response contending the motions are without
merit or substance.
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.
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. See Note 3 to Notes to Financial Statements and
Managements Discussion and Analysis and Results of
Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources.
A final decision on the motion for summary judgment filed by us, 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. Although the outcome of
this litigation cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, we are optimistic that, based
upon previous developments in the litigation and the Courts granting of the SECs motion for
summary judgment, the Courts ruling on our motion for summary judgment 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.

Table of Contents
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 recent 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 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. It is expected that the Court will consolidate that complaint with the already
pending claims encompassed within our Motion for Summary Judgment. 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.

According to the records of our transfer agent, we had 1,067 stockholders of record of our
common stock at December 31, 2005.
We do not pay a dividend on our common stock and we currently intend to retain future cash
flows to finance our operations and fund the growth of our business. Any payment of future
dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other
things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual
restrictions in respect to the payment of dividends and other factors that our Board of Directors
deems relevant.
Issuances of Unregistered Securities in Last Fiscal Year
From July 2004 through July 2005, we engaged in a private offering of units, comprised of
shares of our common stock and one-year warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. As we previously reported in our Current
Reports on Form 8-K, the expiration date of each of these warrants has been extended for an
aggregate of one additional year from their respective dates of issuance, for a total term of of
two years from their respective dates of issuance. During 2005, we sold an aggregate of 1,480,500 such units, consisting of 1,480,500 shares of common
stock and warrants to purchase 1,480,500 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.50 per share.
For the sale of such units, we received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,480,500 and net proceeds of
$1,420,860. During 2004 we sold 119,000 of such units and received $119,000 of gross and net
proceeds for those units, but did not issue the stock and warrant certificates until 2005.
In January 2005, we issued 50,500 shares to two individuals in connection with their exercise
of warrants, for which we received gross and net proceeds of $50,200.
In July 2005, the Company issued options to purchase 2,085,909 shares of common stock to
certain of our directors, officers and employees. The options have an aggregate intrinsic value of
$243,750.
From August through November 2005, the Company received gross proceeds of $1,051,378 (net
proceeds of $996,432) for the issuance of 9% Convertible Promissory Notes due July 31, 2006 and
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,306,580 shares of Common Stock which expire August 31, 2007.
These Notes are convertible at $0.70 per share and these Warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per
share.
In December 2005, the Company received gross proceeds of $525,000 (net proceeds $456,750) for
the issuance of 9% Subordinated Convertible Notes due May 31, 2006 and two-year Warrants to
purchase 1,237,500 shares of Common Stock in a private offering conducted by Spencer Clarke, LLC of
New York. These Notes are convertible at $0.70 per share and these Warrants are exercisable at
$1.00 per share.

Table of Contents
During 2005, we also issued warrants to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock exercisable at
$1.00 per common share. Of this total, two-year warrants to purchase 25,000 shares were issued as
part of the terms of a consulting agreement and three-year warrants to purchase 10,000 shares were
issued in settlement of a claim.
The issuances of the securities described above were made in reliance on the exemptions from
registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act), as amended, or
Regulations D or S promulgated thereunder.
Item 6. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and supplementary data referred to in
Item 7 of this Form 10-KSB.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such
statements, which include statements concerning future revenue sources and concentration, selling,
general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, capital resources,
additional financings and additional losses, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but
not limited to, those discussed above in Item 1 and elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB, particularly in
Risk Factors, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Unless
otherwise expressly indicated, the information set forth in this Form 10-KSB is as of the date of
the filing of this report, and we undertake no duty to update this information.
Overview
We are a development stage company that is transitioning to operations. We have not yet
generated revenues. The companys focus is on research and development, and initial sales and
marketing, of proprietary and patented 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 devices are called ZEFSand CAT-MATE. Expenses to date have been funded
through the sale of company stock and the issuance of debt.
We have devoted the bulk of our efforts to the completion of the design, the development of
our production models, testing of our devices and the promotion of our products in the marketplace
worldwide. We anticipate that these efforts will continue during 2006 and that we will begin
generating revenue in the third quarter of 2006. We will need to raise additional capital during
2006 to fund our research and development and marketing efforts and other expenses.
Results of Operation
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 distribution and sale. We entered into the first agreements
for the distribution of our devices in late 2005 and early 2006.
General
and administrative expenses were $2,980,046 for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2005, compared to $3,323,030 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004, a decrease of $342,984.
This decrease is attributable to decreases in non-cash amortization of deferred compensation, consulting
fees, director fees, professional fees and settlement costs ($938,935); corporate expenses ($36,695) and
travel ($34,007), partially offset by increases in non-cash interest relating to convertible debt ($296,692);
salaries and consulting ($201,749); interest and finance costs ($53,591); other office expense ($39,049);
insurance ($24,549); professional fees ($23,741); rent and utilities ($16,619); and non-cash depreciation ($10,660).

Research
and development expenses were $1,150,361 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005,
compared to $ 1,873,464 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $723,103. Our
research and development expenses include contractual payments to RAND, consultants fees, capital
expenditures, cost of services and supplies. The decrease in research and development expenses is
primarily attributable to a decrease in non-cash research expense of $1,210,450, as well as actual
R&D expenses for Australia also decreasing by $20,375. These decreases were offset by increases in
actual expenses at our United States R&D facility, which increased by $112,722, and, contractual
payments to RAND Corporation which increased by $395,000.
Patent settlement costs were $-0- in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, compared to
$1,610,066 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The patent settlement costs in the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004 were attributable to the Black-Scholes valuation placed on 1,000,000
warrants issued in connection with the acquisition of certain of our intellectual property.
Net other income increased by $1,011,940 primarily from the cancellation of the Muller loan of
$1,017,208.
We
had a net loss of $3,115,186, or $.08 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2005, as
compared to a net loss of $6,803,280, or $.19 per share in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
We expect a decrease in the net loss in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 primarily
attributable to sales we currently expect in the third and fourth quarter of 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred negative cash flow from operations in the developmental stage since our
inception in 1998. As of December 31, 2005, we had cash of $279,821 and an accumulated deficit of
$20,246,074. Our negative operating cash flow in 2005 was funded primarily through the sale of
common stock and convertible notes.
The financial statements accompanying this Annual 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 $3,115,186 and a negative cash flow
from operations of $2,567,178 for the year ending December 31, 2005, and a stockholders
deficiency of $1,408,175 as of December 31, 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.
During
2005 through February 2, 2006, we raised an aggregate of $3,606,878 gross proceeds
($3,352,542 net proceeds) from the sale of our stock and the issuance of debt, as follows:
| Gross proceeds of $1,480,500 (net proceeds of $1,420,860) from the sale of stock and warrants in a private offering conducted by the company that terminated in July 2005; | ||
| Gross proceeds of $1,051,378 (net proceeds of $996,432) from the sale of the Investor Notes and related warrants in a private offering conducted by the company from July 2005 through September 2005; and | ||
| Gross proceeds of $1,075,000 (net proceeds of $935,250) from the issuance of the Bridge Notes and related warrants in a private offering conducted by Spencer Clarke LLC of New York that began in November 2005 and was completed in February 2006. Of this amount, the Company received gross proceeds of $525,000 (net proceeds $456,750) in 2005. |
Also during 2005, we received $50,200 gross and net proceeds from the
exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.

See Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters - Issuances of Unregistered
Securities in Last Fiscal Year for more details of these issuances.
Additionally,
in December 2005, Eugene Eichler, the Companys Chief
Executive Officer, loaned $45,000 to the Company for working capital
purposes. The loan is unsecured, bears interest at 6% per annum and
is due on demand. In February 2006, Mr. Eichler converted the loan
into Bridge Notes, which Bridge Notes and related warrants he
received on the same terms as all other investors in that offering.
As of December 31, 2005 and thereafter, our expenses ran, and are expected to continue to run,
at a burn rate of approximately $350,000 per month. Our current capital resources will be
sufficient to fund operations only through May 2006, and we will require additional capital in
order to operate beyond this date.
In addition, the Bridge Notes mature on the earlier of May 31, 2006 or the successful
completion of a new offering of our securities of at least $5,000,000. The Investor Notes mature
on July 31, 2006; however, the Company may, at its option, require that the Investor Notes be
converted into shares of our Common Stock if we raise at least $5,000,000 in new financing.
In order to fund our capital needs for the foreseeable future, including the repayment of the
Bridge Notes as they mature, and to permit us to require the mandatory conversion of the Investor
Notes, we intend to begin a private offering in the first or second quarter of 2006 for the sale of
our common stock for an amount that would provide us sufficient capital for the remainder of 2006
and the foreseeable future thereafter. We also believe that exercises of in-the-money options and
warrants, with various expiration dates during 2006, may provide additional proceeds needed to meet
our capital requirements during 2006. However, there can be no assurance that any additional
equity or debt financing will be available or available on terms favorable to us, or that any
options or warrants, even if they are in-the-money, will be exercised. 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 marketing activities or relinquish rights to technologies that we
might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize. In addition, in such event, we would be unable
to repay the Bridge Notes and the Investor Notes as they mature.
Acting pursuant to the order of the Court issued in November 2005 in connection with certain
litigation against Mr. Muller, we have also canceled $1,017,208 of debt which Mr. Muller claimed
was owed to him by the Company. See Legal Proceedings.
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 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
21
Table of Contents
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.
Recent 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. 123R, a revision of SFAS No. 123, Share Based
Payment (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R eliminates the alternative to use APB Opinion No. 25s
intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided for in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued,
and requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of
equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. The fair value of equity
instrument awards is to be estimated using option-pricing models. The resulting cost will be
recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for
the award, usually the vesting period. Under the original SFAS No. 123, this accounting treatment
was optional with pro forma disclosures required.
The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. It will be effective for all
awards granted after that date. For those stock option awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, but
for which the vesting period is not complete, the Company will use the modified prospective
transition method permitted by SFAS No. 123R. Under this method, the Company will account for such
awards on a prospective basis, with expense being recognized in the statement of operations
beginning in the first quarter of 2006 using the grant-date fair values previously calculated for
the SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosures presented in Note 7. The compensation expense not
previously recognized in the SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosures for the options that have not
vested will be recognized over the remaining employee service period required to earn the awards.
For stock option awards granted after January 1, 2006 the Company will value those awards under the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R and will record compensation expense over the employee service period
required to earn the awards. Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for share-based
payments to employees using Opinion No. 25s intrinsic value method and as such, generally
recognized no compensation expense for employee stock options in the statement of operations.
Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123Rs fair value method will reduce the Companys results of
operations, but it is not yet known if such reduction will have a material effect on the Companys overall financial
condition and results of operations.
22
Table of Contents
We anticipate that the impact on our statement of operations of adopting SFAS 123R for our
stock options outstanding at December 31, 2005 will be similar to the pro forma impact of SFAS No.
123 presented in Note 7 to our financial statements. However, the incremental expense related to
future stock option grants is difficult to predict because the expense will depend on the number of
awards granted, the grant date stock price, volatility of our stock price and other factors.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 (SFAS 154) Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB
Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 changes the
requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in
accounting principle. APB Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by
including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new
accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial
statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects of the cumulative effect of the change. In the event of such
impracticality, SFAS 154 provides for other means of application. In the event the Company changes
accounting principles, it will evaluate the impact of SFAS 154.

None.
Item 8A. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. 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. We have developed, and have partially implemented, 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, hiring additional personnel and additional funding. We began to implement this plan during 2005, including the hiring in August 2005 of a Controller who is a Certified Public Accountant. However, full implementation of the plan has been delayed due the lack of adequate financial resources during the majority of 2005. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. |
Item 8B. Other Information

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Save the World Air, Inc.
Save the World Air, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Save the World Air, Inc. (a development stage
enterprise) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception
(February 18, 1998) to December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Save the World Air, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended and for the period from inception (February 18, 1998) to December 31, 2005, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as
a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had a net loss of
$3,115,186 and a negative cash flow from operations of $2,567,178 for the year ended December 31,
2005, and had a working capital deficiency of $1,708,049 and a stockholders deficiency of
$1,408,175 as of December 31, 2005. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning this
matter are also described in Note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Description of business, significant matters and prior period corrections
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.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
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 and convertible notes. 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. Summary of significant accounting policies Continued
Liquidity
The Company is subject to the usual risks associated with a development stage enterprise.
These risks include, among others, those associated with product development, acceptance
of the product by users and the ability to raise the capital necessary to sustain
operations. Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses. The
Company anticipates increasing expenditures over at least the next year as the Company
continues its product development and evaluation efforts, and begins its marketing
activities. Without significant revenue, these expenditures will likely result
in additional losses. The Company is in the process of raising additional funds and
raised $1,420,860 (net of finders fees of $109,840) in 2005 through the sale of 1,531,000
shares of its common stock in private placement transactions and the exercise of 50,500
warrants and options (see Note 6).
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 $3,115,186 and a negative cash flow from operations of
$2,567,178 for the year ended December 31, 2005, and had a working capital deficiency of
$1,708,049 and a stockholders deficiency of $1,408,175 at December 31, 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 upon 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.
Property and equipment and depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging
from three to ten years. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the
useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized
using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset
or the lease term.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies Continued
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 indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.
The Company periodically reviews the carrying values of long-lived assts to determine
whether or not an impairment to such value has occurred. No impairments were recorded
during the period from inception (February 18, 1998) through December 31, 2005.
Earnings (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 years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the dilutive
impact of outstanding stock options of 6,508,561 and 14,422,652 respectively, and
outstanding warrants of 20,657,492 and 15,529,414 have been excluded because their impact
on the loss per share is antidilutive.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes
payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets are
recognized for the future tax consequences of transactions that have been recognized in
the Companys financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is provided when
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be
realized.

Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to employees using the
intrinsic-value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
The Company accounts 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.
The Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method prescribed in APB No. 25 and related interpretations, and follow the pro forma
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized related to the granting of stock options, except as noted above. The following
table illustrates the effect on net income as if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

Business and credit concentrations
The Companys cash balances in financial institutions at times may exceed federally
insured limits. As of December 31, 2005, before adjustments for outstanding checks and
deposits in transit, the Company had $376,429 on deposit with two banks. The deposits are
federally insured up to $100,000 on each bank.
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.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and
accrued expenses, convertible notes, and payables to related parties approximate fair value because of their
short maturity as of December 31, 2005.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies Continued
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. 123R, a revision of SFAS No. 123, Share Based
Payment. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the alternative to use APB Opinion No. 25s intrinsic
value method of accounting that was provided for in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued, and
requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for
awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. The fair
value of equity instrument awards is to be estimated using option-pricing models. The
resulting cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Under the original
SFAS No. 123, this accounting treatment was optional with pro forma disclosures required.
The Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. It will be effective for
all awards granted after that date. For those stock option awards granted prior to January
1, 2006, but for which the vesting period is not complete, the Company will use the
modified prospective transition method permitted by SFAS No. 123R. Under this method, the
Company will account for such awards on a prospective basis, with expense being recognized
in the statement of operations beginning in the first quarter of 2006 using the grant-date
fair values previously calculated for the SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosures presented in
Note 2. The compensation expense not previously recognized in the SFAS No. 123 pro forma
disclosures for the options that have not vested will be recognized over the remaining
employee service period required to earn the awards. For stock option awards granted
after January 1, 2006 the Company will value those awards under the provisions of SFAS No.
123R and will record compensation expense over the employee service period required to
earn the awards. Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for share-based
payments to employees using Opinion No. 25s intrinsic value method and as such, generally
recognized no compensation expense for employee stock options in the statement of
operations.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies Continued
Recent accounting pronouncements Continued
The
Company anticipates that the impact on the statement of operations of adopting SFAS
123R for the stock options outstanding at December 31, 2005 will be similar to the pro
forma impact of SFAS No. 123 presented in Note 2 to the financial statements. However, the
incremental expense related to future stock option grants is difficult to predict because
the expense will depend on the number of awards granted, the grant date stock price,
volatility of the stock price and other factors.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154 (SFAS 154) Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS 154 changes the
requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. APB Opinion
20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by
including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new
accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial
statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects of the cumulative effect of the change. In the event of such
impracticality, SFAS 154 provides for other means of application. In the event the Company changes
accounting principles, it will evaluate the impact of SFAS 154.
3. 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.
In connection with the Companys legal proceedings against Mr. Muller (see Note 10). The
Company has canceled (i) the 8,047,403 shares of its common stock held by Mr. Muller
and/or his affiliates, (ii) the options to acquire an additional 10,000,000 shares of the
Companys common stock held by Mr. Muller personally and (iii) the $1,017,208 of debt
which Mr. Muller claimed was owed to him by the Company.

Loans from related parties
Masry & Vititoe, a law firm in which Edward Masry, the Companys former Chief Executive
Officer, was a partner, has advanced $158,733 and $36,478 as of December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively, to the Company for working capital purposes. Advances by Masry and
Vititoe are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and are 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 are 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 year ended December 31, 2004.
As of December 31, 2005, Eugene Eichler, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, advanced
$45,000 to the Company for working capital purposes. These advances are unsecured, bear
interest at 6% per annum and are due on demand. In February 2006, these advances were
converted into a convertible note (Note 11).
Lease agreement
In October 2003, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an entity to lease office
space for its primary administrative facility. A director of the Company is an indirect
owner of the entity.

The Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards in the amount of approximately $14.6
million, which begin to expire in 2018. The deferred tax asset related to these NOL
carryforwards has been fully reserved. The provision for income taxes represents the
minimum state income taxes payable plus estimated penalties and interest.
The Companys ability to utilize its NOL is dependent upon current filing status with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and is subject to the IRSs statute of limitations.

6. Stockholders deficiency Continued
In April 2004, the Company issued 60,000 shares of common stock to convert $15,000 of
related party debt into equity (see Note 3). The shares issued were valued at the current market
price of the date of issuance of $91,800, resulting in additional charge to expense $76,800, which
has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements ended December 31, 2004.
During 2004, the Company sold 1,272,500 units of common stock, each unit consisting of one
share of common stock and one warrant to acquire a share of common stock at $1.50, for $1,272,500.
During 2004, the Company issued 960,500 shares of common stock for $194,200 from the exercise
of 960,500 warrants.
In November and December 2004, the Company sold 119,000 shares of its common stock in a series
of private placement transactions. The Company received proceeds, net of offering costs, in the
amount of $119,000 for the shares prior to December 31, 2004, but did not issue the stock
certificates until 2005. These shares are shown as common stock to be issued in the accompanying
financial statement.
During
the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company sold 1,531,000 units,
each unit consisting 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
$1,420,860. The 1,531,000 warrants were issued to investors as part of an equity
agreement and were not ascribed any value in the accompanying financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 119,000 shares (of which
50,500 relates to the exercise of warrants) of common stock for which payment was
previously received.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company agreed to issue 846,548 shares in
settlement of accrued expenses of $612,521. These shares are
reflected as common stock to be issued in the accompanying
December 31, 2005 financial statements.
7. Stock options and warrants
The Company issues stock options to employees, directors and consultants under the 2004 Stock Option Plan. Employee options vest according to the terms of the specific grant and expire from 5
to 10 years from date of grant. Non-employee option grants to date are vested upon
issuance. The weighted average remaining contractual life of employee options outstanding

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 year ended
December 31, 2005, the Company granted 2,085,909 options to certain employees, exercisable
at amounts ranging from $0.85 to $1.10, vested over one year with a ten-year life, and
$177,631 and $936,537 of deferred compensation costs were amortized and recognized as
expense in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued 1,000,000 10 year warrants to
acquire 1,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The warrants require a payment of
$1 for each share purchased. The warrants were issued to finalize a settlement with the
bankruptcy trustee and others who had claims to ZEFS technology in exchange for the full
release of their claims. The Company valued the warrants at $1,585,265 and reflected the
amount as patent settlement costs during the year ended December 31, 2004. The warrants
were issued in July 2004 when the Company became current in its SEC filings. The warrants
were valued by the Company using the Black Scholes pricing model using a ten year term
(statutory term), 46.2% volatility, no annual dividends, and a discount rate of 4.57%. The
trustee and the other individuals will also receive royalties when the product is sold.
There are no required royalties payable under this agreement for the year ending December
31, 2005.
During 2004, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to two consultants and using the Black
Scholes pricing model, the fair value of these warrants was valued at $53,300 and included
as compensation expense. The remaining 1,272,500 warrants issued during 2004 were issued
to investors as part of equity agreement and were not ascribed any separate value in the
accompanying financial statements.

Warrants Continued
During the year ended December 31, 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 using 3-year and 5-year
respective terms (statutory terms), 58.69% volatility, no annual dividends, and a discount
rate of 3.55% and 4.13%, respectively.
8. Convertible debentures and warrants
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company completed the first part of a private
offering of its 9% Convertible Notes due at dates ranging between May 31, 2006 and July 31,
2006 (the Notes) and Warrants to purchase shares of the Companys common stock which
expire August 31, 2007 (the Warrants). The Notes are convertible at $0.70 per share of
common stock and the Warrants entitle 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
Note is convertible. The Warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share.
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued Notes totaling $1,576,378 and
paid related transaction fees of $123,196, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$1,453,182. In addition to the cash paid for transaction fees, 43,268 additional Warrants
were issued to certain placement agents. These Warrants expire August 31, 2010 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 finder
were valued at $696,413 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following
assumptions; risk-free interest rate of 4.02% to 4.45%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility
factors of the expected market price of common stock of 83.59%; and an expected life of two
to five years. The company also determined that the notes contained a beneficial conversion
feature of $756,768.
The value of the Warrants of $696,413, the conversion option of $756,768, and the
transaction fees of $123,196 are considered as debt discount and are being amortized over
the life of the Notes. $318,759 of such discount has been amortized and included in the
accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. The remaining
unamortized debt discount of $1,257,619 has been netted against the $1,576,378 Convertible
Notes in the accompanying December 31, 2005 Balance Sheet.

9. Research and development
The Company has research and development facilities in Morgan Hill, California and
Queensland, Australia. The Company has expanded research and development to include
application of the technologies utilized by the ZEFS and CAT-MATE device for diesel engines,
motorbikes, boats, generators, lawnmowers and other small engines. The Company has
purchased test vehicles, test engines and testing equipment. The Company has 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. RAND oversees the research and development facilities. The Company
also uses third party research and development facilities in Los Angeles, California for the
development of the ZEFS and CAT-MATE devices. The Company spent $1,150,361 and $1,873,460
for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
10. Commitments and contingencies
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.

10. Commitments and contingencies Continued
Legal matters Continued
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.
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.

10. Commitments and contingencies Continued
Legal matters Continued
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.
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.

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 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.
A final decision on the motion for summary judgment filed by the Company, 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. Although the outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted with
any degree of certainty, the Company is optimistic that, based upon previous developments
in the litigation and the Courts granting of the SECs motion for summary judgment, the
Courts ruling on the motion for summary judgment 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.
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.

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 filed
motions for a new trial on the issue of the opinion. In September 2005, the court ruled
that the Company must pay Terracourt a total of $2,500 and cancelled the original award of
30,000 options.
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.
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. It is expected that the Court will consolidate that complaint
with the already pending claims encompassed within the Companys Motion for Summary
Judgment. While the Company believes that it will 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 the Companys financial position or
cash flow.

During February 2006, the Company converted $45,000 of related party debt due to the
Companys Chief Executive Officer into a 9% convertible note due May 31, 2006. The note is

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 $422,599 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 220.56%; and an expected life of five years.
This amount will be recognized as an expense in the first quarter of 2006.
