Organization
and basis of presentation
|
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited,
but in the opinion of management of Save the World Air, Inc. (the Company),
contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary
to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2007, the results
of
operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007
and
2006, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
The
balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 is derived from the Company’s audited
financial statements.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of the Company
believes that the disclosures contained in these condensed consolidated
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein
not
misleading. For further information, refer to the condensed consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expense during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. The consolidated results of operations
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of
the
consolidated results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year
ending December 31, 2007.
Going
Concern
|
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on a
going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As
reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements,
the
Company had a net loss of $5,060,196 and a negative cash flow from operations
of
$2,655,981 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and had a working
capital deficiency of $4,073,178 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,856,425 at
September 30, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional
funds and implement its business plan. The condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the
Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.

Description
of business
Save
the
World Air, Inc. (the "Company") is a green technology company that leverages
a
suite of patented, patent-pending and licensed intellectual properties related
to the treatment of fuels. These technologies utilize either magnetic or
uniform
electrical fields to alter physical characteristics of fuels and are designed
to
create a cleaner combustion. Cleaner combustion has been shown to improve
performance, enhance fuel economy and/or reduce harmful emissions in laboratory
testing.
The
Company was incorporated in Nevada on February 18, 1998 under the name
Mandalay Capital Corp. The Company changed its name to Save the World
Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999 following the purchase of the worldwide
exclusive manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights for the ZEFS
technology.
During
the past several years, the Company has been acquiring new technologies,
developing prototype products using the Company’s technologies and conducting
scientific tests regarding the technologies and prototype products. The
Company‘s ECO ChargR™ and MAG ChargR™ products, use fixed magnetic fields to
alter some physical properties of fuel, by incorporating our patented and
patent-pending ZEFS, MK IV technologies. When fitted to an internal
combustion engine, these products are expected to increase power and improve
mileage and may also reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide
emissions and to. The Company also has developed certain products
incorporating its CAT-MATE technology, although at this time the Company
does
not intend to devote significant effort to the commercialization of products
incorporating the CAT-MATE technology.
The
Company has obtained licenses from Temple University for their patent-pending
uniform electric field technology, tentatively called ELEKTRA™. The ELEKTRA
technology consists of passing fuel through a specific strong electrical
field. Although ELEKTRA has a similar effect on fuels as the
Company’s ZEFS and MK IV technologies, ELEKTRA incorporates a uniform electrical
field principle. Based on the Company’s early research and product
development, the Company believes that ELEKTRA carries certain advantages
over
the Company’s ZEFS and MK IV technologies, primarily not requiring as many
variations for products incorporating the ELEKTRA technology compared to
products incorporating the ZEFS or MK IV technologies. When it is developed,
the
Company intends to market ELEKTRA products primarily to the transportation
industry, oil refineries and pipelines, and OEMs.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Save the World
Air,
Inc. and Subsidiary include the accounts of Save the World Air, Inc. and
its
wholly-owned subsidiary STWA Asia Pte. Limited, incorporated on January 17,
2006. As of September 30, 2007, the subsidiary held $4,358 in cash and
had operating expenses of $11,312. Intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 Company’s development stage
activities.
The
Company’s focus is on product development and marketing of proprietary devices
that are designed to reduce harmful emissions, and improve fuel efficiency
and
engine performance on equipment and vehicles driven by internal combustion
engines and has not yet generated meaningful revenues. The
technologies are called “ZEFS”, “MK IV”, “ELEKTRA” and “CAT-MATE”. The Company
is currently marketing its ECO and MAG ChargR products incorporating ZEFS
and MK
IV technologies in the United States and certain countries in Asia; and the
Company is in the early stages of developing ELEKTRA
products. Expenses have been funded primarily through the sale of
company stock, convertible notes and the exercise of warrants.
The
Company has taken actions to secure the intellectual property rights to the
ZEFS, MK IV and CAT-MATE devices and is the worldwide exclusive licensee
for
patent-pending technologies associated with the development of
ELEKTRA.

Significant
Accounting Policies
|
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company has adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition”, and
therefore recognizes revenue based upon meeting four criteria:
·
|
Persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
·
|
Delivery
has occurred or services have been
rendered;
|
·
|
The
seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;
and
|
·
|
Collectability
is reasonably assured.
|
The
Company contract manufactures fixed magnetic field products and sells them
to
various original equipment manufacturers in the motor vehicle and small utility
motor markets. The Company negotiates an initial contract with the customer
fixing the terms of the sale and then receives a letter of credit or full
payment in advance of shipment. Upon shipment, the Company recognizes the
revenue associated with the sale of the products to the customer.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist
of
finished goods.

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
Company’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Stock-based
compensation
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated
fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005,
the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the
provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).
The
Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method,
which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1,
2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The Company’s financial
statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 reflect
the
impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition
method, the Company’s financial statements for prior periods have not been
restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Stock-based
compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for employee and directors
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $45,774.
Prior
to
the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards
to
employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
APB
25. Under the intrinsic value method, the Company recognized share-based
compensation equal to the award’s intrinsic value at the time of grant over the
requisite service periods using the straight-line method. Forfeitures were
recognized as incurred.
The
Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards to employees
and directors on the date of grant uses the Black-Scholes model, which is
affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number
of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but
are not
limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards,
and
actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.

The
Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued to non-employees
for
goods and services using the guidance of SFAS No. 123 and Emerging Issues
Task Force (“EITF”) No. 96-18: “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are
Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling,
Goods or Services,” whereby the fair value of such option and warrant grants is
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the earlier of
the
date at which the non-employee’s performance is completed or a performance
commitment is reached.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
|
Statement
No. 157
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued
Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), SFAS 157 establishes
a formal framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines
and codifies the many definitions of fair value included among various other
authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some instances, expands on the
guidance for implementing fair value measurements, and increases the level
of
disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157
applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA pronouncements,
it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does
it
establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 applies to all other
accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements,
except for; SFAS 123R, share-based payment and related pronouncements, the
practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various
other
authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9
that deal with software revenue recognition. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this
pronouncement on the Company’s financial statements.
Statement
No. 159
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
The
objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex
hedge
accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this
Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair
value

We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material affect
on
our financial statements.

Interpretation
No. 48
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an
interpretation of FASB Statement No 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN
48”).” FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or
expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from
an
uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial
statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit
that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim
periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and
as of
September 30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized
tax
benefits.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the
state
of California. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax
examinations by tax authorities for years after 2002. During the periods
open to
examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards
for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed
periods. Since these net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards may
be
utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company’s
policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as
income
tax expense. As of September 30, 2007, The Company has no accrued interest
or
penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company believes that it
has
not taken any uncertain tax positions that would impact its condensed
consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2007. Also as of the
date
of adoption, and as of September 30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability
for unrecognized tax benefits.
EITF
00-19-2
Effective
in the first quarter of 2007 the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No.
EITF
00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” issued on December
21, 2006 (“FSP 00-19-2”). FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation
to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration
payment, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision
of a
financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized
and
measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies.” For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments
subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance
of
EITF 00-19-2, this guidance is effective for financial statements issued
for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within
those
fiscal years.

Net
loss per share
|
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur
if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the Company. In computing diluted earnings per share,
the
treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are
exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average
market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive
effect
under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the
common
stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the dilutive impact
of
outstanding stock options of 4,203,238 and 7,328,299 respectively, and
outstanding warrants of 18,798,227 and 21,183,517 have been excluded because
their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

the marketing and manufacturing rights for the ZEFS were acquired from founding
officer Jeffery A. Muller, for 5,000,000 shares of common stock, $500,000
and a
$10 royalty for each unit sold (see discussion below), pursuant to the Agreement
entered into in December 1998, by and between the Company and
Mr. Muller. Working capital advances in the amount of $517,208 and payment
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. Muller’s 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 Company’s legal proceedings against Mr. Muller (see
Note 11), 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 Company’s 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
In
May of
2007, a former officer and incumbent director of the company loaned $31,404
to
pay a company obligation and in August 2007, the same party loaned $50,000
to
the company so that it could pay certain operating expenses. These amounts
will
be repaid in the future.
Lease
agreement with related party
During
2003, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with an entity to lease
office space in North Hollywood, California for its principal executive offices.
Bruce H. McKinnon, the former Chief Executive Officer and a director of the
Company, is an owner of the lessor.
In
August
2005, the Company amended this sublease agreement. The original lease term
was
from November 1, 2003 through October 16, 2005 and carried an option
to renew for two additional years with a 10 percent increase in the rental
rate. Monthly rent under this lease is $3,740 per month under this
lease. The Company exercised its option to renew the lease through
October 15, 2007.
In
January 2006, the Company further amended this sublease agreement, as a result
of taking more space and obtaining expanded support services. The term of
the
sublease was amended to July 31, 2007 and carries an option to renew for
two additional years with a 10 percent increase in the rental rate. Monthly
rent is $6,208 per month under this amended sublease
agreement. Additionally, the Company began leasing two additional office
spaces for $964 per month beginning July 2006 on a month-to-month
basis.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, rent expense under the
sublease was $10,272 and $18,624, respectively. The amount for the three
months
ended September 30, 2007 includes $3,100 with respect to a late penalty of
$100
per day since April 1, 2007, in addition to amounts previously accrued and
discussed in the next paragraph. The Company does not admit that it owes
this
amount.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, rent expense under the
sublease was $107,902 and $55,872, respectively. The amount for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 includes $57,700 with respect to a late
penalty of $100 per day since January 1, 2006. The Company does not
admit that it owes this amount.
On
July
12, 2007, KZ Golf, Inc. “(“KZG”), the Company’s landlord, presented to the
Company a Three-Day Notice to Pay or Quit, demanding payment of unpaid rent,
additional rent and penalties, in the aggregate amount of $104,413 as of
such
date. In addition to the unpaid rent during 2007, it is apparently
KZG’s position that there is a discrepancy in the calculation of base rent as
far back as April 1, 2004 and that a penalty of $100 per day should be imposed
continuously since January 1, 2006 under the terms of a certain provision
of the
sublease between the Company and KZG (the “2006 Sublease”). As of
September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a contingent liability in the amount
of
$101,696. The Company does not admit that it owes either the entire amount
claimed by KZG or the entire amount recorded by it as a contingent
liability. The Company did not exercise its option to renew the 2006
Sublease.

Marketing
and promotional services agreement with related party
In
July
2006, the Company entered into an agreement with SS Sales and Marketing Group
(“SS Sales”), to provide exclusive marketing and promotional services in the
western United States and western Canada (the “Territory”) for the
Company’s products. SS Sales will also provide advice, assistance and
information on marketing the Company’s products in the automotive after-market,
and will seek to recruit and establish a market with distributors, wholesalers
and others. SS Sales will be paid a commission equal to 5% of the gross amount
actually collected on contracts the Company entered into during the term
of the
agreement for existing or future customers introduced by SS Sales in the
Territory. The agreement has a term of five years unless sooner terminated
by
either party on 30 days’ notice. In the event of termination, SS Sales will be
entitled to receive all commissions payable through the date of termination.
No
amount was due or paid under this agreement as of September 30,
2007. SS Sales is owned by Nathan Shelton, who has served as one of
the directors of the Company since February 12, 2007.

Equity
line of credit
|
In
September 2006, the Company entered into what is sometimes termed an equity
line of credit arrangement. Under the line of credit the Company may, but
is not
obligated to, put shares of common stock from time to time over a 36-month
period, at a purchase price calculated at 97% of the lowest best closing
bid for
the Company’s common stock for the five trading days following the put notice.
The Company may draw up to $10,000,000 under the line of credit. Because
the
price of the common stock fluctuates and the number of shares of common stock,
if any, that the Company may issue, should exercise the put rights under
the
equity line of credit, will vary, the Company does not know how many shares,
if
any, will actually issue under the equity line of credit. As of September
30,
2007 the Company has registered and made available 7,000,000 shares of common
stock for possible future draws under the line of credit.
As
of
September 30, 2007 the Company has drawn down $1,372,150 ($1,262,384 net
of
closing costs) of this commitment and issued 2,367,905 shares of common stock,
leaving 4,632,095 shares of common stock still available under the equity
line
of credit.

Convertible
debentures
|
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued notes (the “Notes”)
totaling $1,000,000, which included the conversion of $45,000 of debt owed
to
the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Company paid related
transaction fees of $89,500 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of
$865,500. In addition to the cash paid for transaction fees, 117,857
warrants (the “Warrants”) were issued to certain placement agents. The Warrants
expire between August 31, 2007 and February 9, 2008 and are exercisable at
a
price of $1.00 per share.
The
aggregate value of the Warrants issued in connection with the offering and
to
the placement agent were valued at $620,252 using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model with the following assumptions; risk-free interest rate of
4.35%
to 4.66%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market
price
of common stock of 130.61%; and an expected life of two years (statutory
term). The company also determined that the notes contained a
beneficial conversion feature of $290,248.
The
value
of the Warrants of $620,252, the conversion option of $290,248, and the
transaction fees of $89,500 are considered as debt discount and are being
amortized over the life of the Notes.
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, convertible notes in the amount of $2,576,379
of the Notes were converted to 3,680,540 shares of stock at $0.70 per
share. In addition, $3,707 of accrued interest was converted to 5,296
shares at $0.70 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2006, $2,257,620
of
the total discount has been amortized and included in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations.
On
December 5, 2006, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Morale Orchards, LLC, a limited liability company formed under
the laws of the State of Oregon (“Morale”). The entire equity interest in Morale
is beneficially owned by Leodis Matthews who provides legal services to the
Company. The Agreement provides that Morale will purchase the Company’s one year
Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate face amount of $1,225,000 (the
“Morale Notes”), and five-year Warrants (the “Morale Warrants”) to purchase
shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”). The aggregate
purchase price for the Notes and Warrants is $1,000,000. Therefore, while
the
stated interest on the Notes is 0%, the effective interest rate is 22.5%
because
the Notes are being purchased at a discount from their face amount.
Each
of
the Morale Notes is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a
per share conversion price initially equal to the closing price of a share
of
the Company’s Common Stock on the trading day prior to the date of issuance of
such Note. The conversion right is exercisable during the period
commencing 90 days prior to the maturity of each Note. Concurrently with
the
issuance of a Note, for no additional consideration, Morale will acquire
Warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the
number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable on conversion of the
associated Note. The Morale Warrants become exercisable 180 days after the
date
of their issuance. The Note purchased by Morale on December 5, 2006 is
convertible at the rate of $0.85 per share into 720,588 shares of the Company’s
Common Stock and the Morale Warrants are exercisable at the same per share
price
for 360,294 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Repayment
of each Note is to be made monthly, at an amount equal to at least $3,750
for
each Note. Additional payments may be made prior to maturity with no prepayment
penalties. In the event the Company has not repaid each Note in full by the
anniversary date of its issuance, the remaining balance shall be increased
by
10% as an initial penalty, and the Company shall pay additional interest
of 2.5%
per month, compounded daily, for each month until such Note is paid in
full.
Morale
has piggyback registration rights pursuant to which Morale may require the
Company to include the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Morale Notes and exercise of the Morale Warrants in certain
future registration statements the Company may elect to file, subject to
the
right of the Company and/or its underwriters to reduce the number of shares
to
be included in such a registration in good faith based on market or other
conditions.
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued Morale Notes totaling
$612,500 discounted by $112,500, resulting in net proceeds to the Company
of
$500,000. In addition to the discount, 360,264 additional warrants were issued
to Morale. These warrants expire December 5, 2011 and are exercisable at
a price
of $0.85 per share.
The
aggregate value of the Morale Warrants issued in connection with the offering
and to the finder were valued at $118,348 using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model with the following assumptions; risk-free interest rate of
4.39%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price
of
common stock of 110.21%; and an expected life of five years (statutory term)
and
vest over 180 days. The Company also determined that the notes
contained a beneficial conversion feature of $230,848.
The
value
of the Morale Warrants of $118,348, the conversion option of $230,848, and
the
transaction fees of $112,500 are considered as debt discount and are being
amortized over the life of the Note.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued Morale Notes
totaling $612,500 discounted by $112,500, resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of $500,000. In addition to the discount, 437,500 warrants were issued
to Morale. These warrants expire January 10, 2011 and are exercisable at
$0.70
per share. The note is convertible at the rate of $0.70 per share into 875,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
The
aggregate value of the Morale Warrants issued in connection with the offering
were valued at $118,955 the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the

(the
“2007 PIPE Offering”), through Spencer Clarke LLC, as exclusive placement agent,
of up to $2,000,000 principal amount of its 10% convertible notes (the “2007
PIPE Notes”). Interest on the 2007 PIPE Notes, at a rate of 10% per
annum, is payable quarterly. The Notes are due nine months from date
of issuance. The 2007 PIPE Notes are convertible into shares of
Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.70 per share (the “Conversion
Shares”).
The
Company has the right to redeem any or all of the outstanding 2007 PIPE Notes
in
its sole discretion anytime after the termination of the 2007 PIPE Offering
and
prior to the maturity date of the 2007 PIPE Notes. The redemption price shall
be
the face amount of the redeemed 2007 PIPE Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon. Subject to the following sentence, at any time prior to the
maturity date of the 2007 PIPE Notes, for each additional $1,000,000 of gross
proceeds raised from one or more offerings of the Company’s equity or
quasi-equity securities, the Company shall redeem 2007 PIPE Notes with a
minimum
face value of $500,000 together with accrued and unpaid interest, until the
entire outstanding 2007 PIPE Note is redeemed. Certain financings that the
Company may conduct outside of North America are exempt from this provision
to
redeem the 2007 PIPE Notes in whole or in part.
Investors
in the 2007 PIPE Offering received, for no additional consideration, a warrant
(the “2007 PIPE Warrant”), entitling the holder to purchase a number of shares
of the Company’s common stock equal to 150% of the number of shares of common
stock into which the 2007 PIPE Notes are convertible (the “Warrant Shares”). The
2007 PIPE Warrant will be exercisable on a cash basis only and will have
registration rights. The 2007 PIPE Warrant is exercisable at an
initial price of $1.00 per share, and is exercisable immediately upon issuance
and for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
Promptly,
but no later than 90 days following the closing date of the 2007 PIPE Offering,
the Company is required to file a registration statement with the SEC to
register the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Company shall
use its
best efforts to ensure that such registration statement is declared effective
within 120 days after filing.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued $400,000 of

During

On
August
29, 2007, the Company entered into a modification agreement with the 2007
PIPE
note holders. The Modification Agreement was entered into as a result of
negotiations between the Company and Spencer Clarke, LLC ("Spencer Clarke"),
the
Company's exclusive placement agent for the 2007 PIPE Offering, after the
Company failed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
in a timely manner a registration statement (the "Registration Statement")
to
register the shares of the Company's common stock into which the PIPE Notes
are
convertible (the "Conversion Shares") and for which the PIPE Warrants may
be
exercised (the "Warrant Shares").
Pursuant
to the Modification Agreement, the parties have agreed as follows:
·
|
Promptly,
but no later than November 30, 2007 (instead of on or before
July 2,
2007), the Company shall file the Registration Statement with
the SEC to
register the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares.
|
·
|
Effective
August 1, 2007, the interest rate on the PIPE Notes shall be
increased
from 10% per annum to 18% per annum until such time as the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the
SEC.
|
·
|
The
price at which the PIPE Notes may be converted into Conversion
Shares (the
"Conversion Price") shall be reduced from $0.70 to $0.45 per
share.
|
·
|
Each
Investor shall receive, for no additional consideration, additional
warrants ("Additional Warrants") in an amount equal to an additional
50%
of the PIPE Warrants originally issued pursuant to the terms
of the 2007

Warrant, entitling the holder to purchase a number of Warrant Shares of the
Company's common stock equal to 150% of the number of shares of common stock
into which the PIPE Notes are convertible. The PIPE Warrant is exercisable
on a
cash basis only and has registration rights. The PIPE Warrant is exercisable
at
an initial price of $1.00 per share, and is exercisable immediately upon
issuance and for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
The
aggregate value of the additional warrants (“Delay Warrants”) issued in
connection with the modification agreement of the 2007 PIPE Offering were
valued
at $138,197 using Black Scholes option valuation model with the following
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.43%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility
factor of the expected market price of common stock of 113.55%; and an expected
life of 5 years.
The
value
of the additional 2007 PIPE warrants of $138,197 are considered as debt discount
and are being amortized over the life of the 2007 PIPE notes.
Promptly,
but no later than 90 days following the closing date of the PIPE Offering,
the
Company was required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register
the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Company was further required
to use its best efforts to ensure that the Registration Statement was declared
effective within 120 days after filing.
The
Company's continuing cash flow and liquidity difficulties led to its inability
to file all of its reports with the SEC in a timely manner, and therefore
the
Company was unable to meet its obligations to file the Registration Statement
required under the terms of the 2007 PIPE Offering in a timely manner, which
has
been clarified in the Modification Agreement as on or before July 2, 2007.
The
Company had begun discussions with Spencer Clarke, acting on behalf of the
holders of the PIPE Notes and PIPE Warrants, for an extension of time to
file
the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding such discussions, Spencer Clarke
issued a Notice of Default dated August 1, 2007 (the "Notice") to the Company
for its failure to file the Registration Statement in a timely
manner.

Pursuant
to the terms of the PIPE Notes, on the 91st day following the closing date,
(i)
the interest rate on the PIPE Notes increased from 10% to 18% per annum until
the event of default is cured and (ii) the holders of the PIPE Notes became
entitled to receive additional warrants in an amount equal to 25% of the
PIPE
Warrants originally issued, for each 60-day period that the Company remains
in
default.
There
is
some uncertainty as to when the Company first learned of the Notice. On or
about
August 23, 2007, the Company and Spencer Clarke commenced discussions about
the
Notice. As a result of these discussions, the Modification Agreement was
entered
into as of August 29, 2007.
From
June
13, 2007 through June 26, 2007, the Company conducted a private offering
(the
“Spring 2007 Offering”) of up to $550,000 aggregate face amount of its
convertible notes (the “Spring 2007 Notes”) with a small number of accredited
investors. Of this amount, $451,000 aggregate face amount of the
Spring 2007 Notes were sold for an aggregate purchase price of
$410,000. Therefore, while the stated interest rate on the Spring
2007 Notes is 0%, the actual interest rate on the Spring 2007 Notes is
10%. The Spring 2007 Notes mature on the first anniversary of their
date of issuance. The Spring 2007 Notes are convertible, at the
option of the noteholder, into shares of common stock of the Company (the
“Conversion Shares”) at an initial conversion price equal to the average of the
closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the five trading days
preceding the closing dates of the Spring 2007 Offering (the “Conversion
Prices”). Up to 1,210,489 Conversion Shares are initially issuable at
Conversion Prices of either $0.34 or $0.53 per share, depending upon which
of
the two closing dates of the Spring 2007 Offering the Spring 2007 Notes were
sold.
Each
of
the investors in the Spring 2007 Offering received, for no additional
consideration, a warrant (the “Spring 2007 Warrants”), entitling the holder to
purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the
number of shares of common stock into which the Spring 2007 Notes are
convertible (the “Warrant Shares”). Each Spring 2007 Warrant is exercisable on a
cash basis only at an initial price of $0.50 per share, and is exercisable
immediately upon issuance and for a period of two years from the date of
issuance. Up to 605,242 Warrant Shares are initially issuable on
exercise of the Spring 2007 Warrants.
The
Company received $410,000 gross and net proceeds in the Spring 2007
Offering. The proceeds of the Spring 2007 Offering were used for
general corporate purposes and working capital.

Litigation
Involving Jeffrey A. Muller
On
December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal
District Court, Southern District of New York, against us, the Company’s former
President and then sole director Jeffrey A. Muller, and others, alleging
that
the Company and the other defendants were engaged in a fraudulent scheme
to
promote our stock. The SEC complaint alleged the existence of a promotional
campaign using press releases, Internet postings, an elaborate website, and
televised media events to disseminate false and materially misleading
information as part of a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for stock
in
the corporation, which was then controlled by Mr. Muller. On March 22,
2002, the Company signed a consent to final judgment of permanent injunction
and
other relief in settlement of this action as against the corporation only,
which
the court approved on July 2, 2002. Under this settlement, the Company was
not required to admit fault and did not pay any fines or restitution. The
SEC’s
charges of fraud and stock manipulation continue against Mr. Muller and
others.

On
July 2, 2002, after an investigation by the Company’s newly constituted
board of directors, the Company filed a cross-complaint in the SEC action
against Mr. Muller and others seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement of
monies and stock and financial restitution for a variety of acts and omissions
in connection with sales of our stock and other transactions occurring between
1998 and 2002. Among other things, the Company alleged that Mr. Muller and
certain others sold Company stock without providing adequate consideration
to
the Company; sold insider shares without making proper disclosures and failed
to
make necessary filing required under federal securities laws; engaged in
self-dealing and entered into various undisclosed related-party transactions;
misappropriated for their own use proceeds from sales of the Company’s stock;
and entered into various undisclosed arrangement regarding the control, voting
and disposition of their stock. On July 30, 2002, the U.S. Federal District
Court, Southern District of New York, granted the Company’s 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 Company’s stock that they may own or control,
or from taking any action to injure the Company or the Company’s business and
from having any direct contact with the Company’s shareholders. The injunctive
order also prevents Mr. Muller from engaging in any effort to exercise control
over the Company’s corporation and from serving as an officer or director of the
Company. While the Company believes that the Company has valid claims, there
can
be no assurance that an adverse result or settlement would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or cash flow..
In
the
course of the litigation, the Company has obtained ownership control over
Mr. Muller’s 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. Muller’s legal ability to have conveyed those rights.
In
Australia, Mr. Muller entered into a bankruptcy action seeking to overcome
the Company’s 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. Muller’s bankruptcy trustee, the trustee
transferred to the Company all ownership and legal rights to this international
patent application for the ZEFS device.
Both
the
SEC and the Company have filed Motions for Summary Judgment contending that
there are no material issues of fact in contention and as a matter of law,
the
Court should grant a judgment against Mr. Muller and the
cross-defendants.

Mr. Muller
and several of the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint filed
by
the Company and moved for summary judgment in their favor. On December 28,
2004, Judge George B. Daniels denied the cross-defendants’ motion to dismiss the
Company’s 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. Muller’s 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 SEC’s motion for summary judgment.
In granting the motion, the Court has barred Mr. Muller from serving as an
officer or director of a public company for a period of 20 years, ordered
Mr. Muller to disgorge any shares of our stock that he still owns and
directed the Company to cancel any issued and outstanding shares of our stock
still owned by Mr. Muller. Mr. Muller was also ordered to disgorge to
the SEC unlawful profits in the amount of $7.5 million and pay a civil
penalty in the amount of $100,000. Acting in accordance with the Court’s 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 Company’s common stock held by
Mr. Muller personally and (iii) $1,017,208 of debt which
Mr. Muller claimed was owed to him by the Company.
Mr.
Muller subsequently filed a Notice of Appeal from the Judgment resulting
from
this decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. The
clerk of the Court recently issued an Order dismissing this appeal.
In
response to the November 16, 2005 decision by the Court, Muller filed a
motion seeking to set aside the decision and order of the Court. On
March 31, 2006, the Court issued a decision and order denying Muller’s
motion to set aside the decision on summary judgment issued against Muller
on
November 16, 2005.
On
October 27, 2006, Magistrate Judge Frank Maas, Federal District Court of
the Southern District of New York, issued an order granting summary judgment
in
favor of the Company. The ruling provided that all shares, options and any
other
obligations allegedly owed by the Company to Jeffrey A. Muller, its former
Chairman, were to be disgorged. The ruling also confirmed an earlier decision
issued on November 16, 2005 in favor of the SEC holding Mr. Muller
liable for $7.5 million in actual damages, imposing a $100,000 fine and
barring Muller from any involvement with a publicly traded company for
20 years. With prejudgment interest, this ruling brings the actual damages
against Muller to over $9 million. Additionally, the Court further
clarified that the scope of its previous disgorgement order required the
disgorgement of any shares of the Company’s stock that Mr. Muller or any of
his nominees directly or indirectly own or control. The Company has taken
action
to cancel over 3.6 million shares which had been issued to the offshore
companies.

The
Court
also confirmed the appropriateness of an action previously taken by the Company
to acquire the patent rights and to consolidate the manufacturing, marketing
and
distribution rights with its ownership of all rights to the existing
patents.
Finally,
the Court ruled that Mr. Muller had no claim to an alleged $500,000 debt
owed to him while the damages of over $9 million remain unpaid. The Court
also ruled that other assets that were transferred by Mr. Muller to members
of his family through various offshore corporations were also to be
disgorged. Because the Court left unresolved an issue
concerning claims against one Muller family member, the Company sought a
modification of the Order. On February 8, 2007, Judge Maas issued an
Amended Order, which concluded that all of the STWA shares of Muller or any
of
his nominees directly or indirectly owned or controlled were to be recaptured
by
STWA and were subject to disgorgement and forfeiture. With this
modification of the October 27, 2007 ruling, this order provides the complete
relief requested by the Company in its motion for summary judgment.
In
April
2005, Jeffrey A. Muller, the Company’s 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. Muller’s bankruptcy trustee declared null
and void.
This
lawsuit brought by Mr. Muller arises out of the same claims that are the
subject of ongoing litigation in the Federal District Court for the Southern
District of New York, in which the Company has previously obtained a preliminary
injunction against Mr. Muller barring him from any involvement with the
Company and preventing Mr. Muller, his agents or assigns, from exercising
any claimed rights to the Company’s 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 Company’s cross-claims. The dismissal of
those motions involved similar causes of action as those contained in
Mr. Muller’s 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. Muller’s complaint, filed in the California
District Court and transferred to the Federal Court in the Southern District
of
New York, was assigned to Judge George B. Daniels. That Complaint is
currently pending, however, the issues raised in this Complaint arise from
the
same claims already decided by the Court in its February 8, 2007 Amended
Order. The Company plans to file a request to dismiss the pending
Complaint on several grounds, including that the claims sought to be litigated
in this latter complaint has been included within the Summary Judgment Motions
decided against Muller, his nominees and assignees. While the Company believes
that the Company has valid claims and defenses, there can be no assurance
that
an adverse result or outcome on the pending motions or a trial of this case
would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or cash
flow.

Litigation
Involving Sublessor of Former Corporate Offices
On
July 19, 2007, Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. doing business as KZG
(“KZG”) sued the Company in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging unlawful
detainer by the Company of its then-leased corporate offices at 5125 Lankershim
Boulevard, North Hollywood, California, and failure to pay past due rent
and
penalties in the aggregate amount of $104,413. In its complaint, KZG also
seeks
attorney fees. The Company believes that Bruce H. McKinnon, the Company’s former
President and Chief Executive Officer, and an incumbent director, is a
beneficial owner of KZG. Mr. McKinnon’s wife is also a beneficial owner of
KZG.
On
July
25, 2007, the parties entered into an agreement pursuant to which KZG would
dismiss the eviction action. However, KZG reserved the right to amend their
complaint to include a demand for past due rent and penalties. The
Company agreed to vacate the premises and KZG agreed not to further prosecute
its eviction action. The Company vacated the premises on July 25,
2007. On August 30, 2007, KZG filed an amended complaint which was
answered by the Company on October 5, 2007.
While
the
Company believes that it has valid claims and defenses, given the inherent
uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this
matter. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or
outcome
of this matter would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
financial position or cash flow.

convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price equal to the
average closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the five trading
days prior to the Closing Date. Noteholders will receive Warrants to
purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 50% of the
number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable on conversion of the
associated Note. The Closing Date will be on or before December 31,
2007. As of November 16, 2007, the Company has raised $125,000 in net
proceeds.

Overview
The
following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and
consolidated results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB and the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
We
are a development stage company that generated our first revenues in the fourth
quarter of 2006. Our focus is on research and development, and initial sales
and
marketing, of products incorporating our proprietary and patented technology,
which is designed to reduce harmful emissions, and/or improve fuel efficiency
and engine performance on equipment and vehicles driven by internal combustion
engines. We have devoted the bulk of our efforts to the completion of the
design, the development of our production models, testing of devices and the
promotion of our products in the marketplace. We anticipate that these efforts
will continue during 2007, subject to our ability to finance such
efforts.
We
face significant challenges in generating revenue and maintaining adequate
working capital during the remainder of 2007 as a result of several factors.
Among other things, to date our distributors, primarily located in Asia, have
placed fewer orders than we had expected them to place under the terms of our
distribution agreements with them. This resulted in our having less revenue
and
therefore less working capital available for the further development of our
business at a time when the operating costs of our business have been
increasing. Additionally, certain long-term financing transactions that we
were
negotiating earlier this year have not materialized. In turn, this lack of
adequate working capital has put additional pressures on our ability to meet
our
obligations as they come due, including without limitation, being able to order
and pay for the tooling and manufacture of products from third parties for
sale
to our distributors, being able to pay for shipment and freight duties in
connection with such sales and being able to pay our trade creditors,
professional advisors and others in a timely manner. We will require significant
additional outside capital during the remainder of 2007 in order to meet all
of
our obligations, produce products for sale and ship such products.
45
Given
our current circumstances, we anticipate that revenue will remain nominal for
at
least the next few quarters, and unless and until we can simultaneously raise
capital, reduce our expenses and generate more meaningful revenue from the
sale
of our products. See “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital
Resources” below.
We
are in the process of reviewing certain terms of our distribution agreement
with
Golden Allied Enterprises (Group) Co., Ltd. (“GAE”), our distributor in
China. Among other things, we currently expect that we will again
defer certain of GAE’s order deadlines, including GAE’s revised obligation to
order 100,000 units by July 31, 2007 (previously extended from
July 31, 2006), by up to one additional year until July 31, 2008, and
we would like GAE to become a non-exclusive distributor (rather than an
exclusive distributor) for our ECO ChargR, MAG ChargR and ELEKTRA products
in
China, while maintaining its exclusivity for the distribution of ZEFS and
CAT-MATE products in China. These negotiations have not concluded and therefore
are subject to change. Additionally, we have informally modified the terms
of
our distribution agreements with each of our distributors in China, Indonesia
and Vietnam, so that none of these distributors is required to post letters
of
credit prior to or at the time that they place any further orders with us.
These
modifications may increase somewhat our exposure in terms of being paid in
a
timely fashion for products we ship to these distributors.
Our
expenses to date have been funded primarily through the sale of stock and
convertible debt, as well as proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase
warrants. We raised capital in the three-month period ended September 30, 2007
and subsequent to the end of the three-month period ended September 30, 2007,
and we will need to raise substantial additional capital during 2007, and
possibly beyond, to fund our sales and marketing efforts, the manufacture of
products to our distributors, continuing research and development, and certain
other expenses, unless and until our revenue base grows
sufficiently.
On
July 25, 2007, the Company made a significant advancement when it appointed
Charles R. Blum as a Director and President and Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. Blum spent 22 years as the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA). SEMA is
a trade group representing 6,500 business members who are actively engaged
in
the manufacture and distribution of automotive parts and
accessories. SEMA produces the world’s largest automotive aftermarket
Trade Show which is held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mr. Blum led
the association as its members grew from a handful of small entrepreneurial
companies into an industry membership that sells over 31 billion dollars of
product at the retail level annually. Mr. Blum has a proven record of
accomplishment as a senior executive and brings a broad knowledge of the
automotive aftermarket to the Company.
Results
of Operations
We
did not generate any revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30,
2007 and 2006. We generated revenue of $22,000 and incurred cost of
goods sold of $5,360 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007,
compared to $-0- and $-0-, respectively, for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006.
Operating
expenses were $873,971 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007,
compared to $1,718,614 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006,
a
decrease of $844,643. This decrease is attributable to decreases in non-cash
expenses of $591,646 and cash expenses of $252,997. Specifically, the non-cash
decrease is attributable to the revaluation of options and warrants given to
employees and consultants ($592,982), partially offset by an increase in
depreciation ($1,336). Decreases in cash expenses are attributable to decreases
in travel expenses ($89,591), consulting and professional fees ($80,367), office
and other expenses ($43,783), exhibits and trade shows ($39,595), and corporate
expenses ($22,999), partially offset by an increase salaries and benefits
($23,338).
46
Operating
expenses were $3,177,533 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007,
compared to $5,326,222 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006,
a
decrease of $2,148,689. This decrease is attributable to a decrease
in non-cash expenses of $2,173,192, offset by an increase in cash expenses
of
$24,503. Specifically, the non-cash decrease is attributable to the revaluation
of options and warrants given to employees and consultant ($2,227,346),
partially offset by an increase in depreciation ($54,154). Increases in cash
expenses are attributable to increases in consulting and professional fees
($108,540), and salaries and benefits ($54,197), office and other expenses
($31,709), partially offset by decreases in travel expenses ($121,198) and
corporate expenses ($42,378) exhibits and trade shows ($6,367).
Research
and development expenses were $98,427 for the three-month period ended September
30, 2007, compared to $95,608 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2006, an increase of $2,819. This increase is attributable to an increase in
product testing, research and supplies ($41,737) partially offset by decreases
in consulting fees ($23,597), and travel and related expenses
($15,321).
Research
and development expenses were $539,610 for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2007, compared to $274,713 for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2006, an increase of $264,897. This increase is attributable to an increase
in
product testing, research and supplies ($392,945), partially offset by decreases
in consulting fees ($86,784) and travel and related expenses
($41,264).
Other
expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 were $645,454,
compared to $146,803 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, an
increase of $498,651. This increase is attributable to increases in non-cash
interest expense ($331,573), cash interest expense
($14,940), financing costs ($148,455) and a decrease in interest
income ($5,954), offset by an increase in other income ($2,271).
Other
expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 were $1,358,893,
compared to $2,349,620 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006,
a
decrease of $990,727. This decrease is attributable to decreases in non-cash
interest expense ($1,318,258), cash interest expense ($71,479), and an increase
in other income ($2,323), partially offset by an increase in financing cost
($388,453), and a decrease in interest income ($12,880).
We
had a net loss of $1,617,852, or $0.04 per share, for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2007, compared to a net loss of $1,961,025, or $0.05 per
share, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006. We had a net loss
of
$5,060,196, or $0.13 per share, for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2007, compared to a net loss of $7,951,355, or $0.23 per share, for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. We expect to incur additional net
loss in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, primarily attributable to
continued operating and marketing-related expenditures without the benefit
of
any significant revenue for the remainder of the year.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
General
We
have incurred negative cash flow from operations in the developmental stage
since our inception in 1998. As of September 30, 2007, we had cash of $102,179
and an accumulated deficit of $35,487,793. Our negative operating cash flow
in
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was funded primarily through
the
sale of convertible notes, as well as sales of our stock by Dutchess Private
Equity Fund, LLP (“Dutchess”) under our equity line of credit.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report
have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course
of our business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements, we had a net loss of $1,617,852 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2007, a net loss of $5,060,196 and a negative cash flow
from
operations of $2,655,981 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007
and
a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,856,425 as of September 30, 2007. These factors
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise
additional funds, generate revenue and implement our business plan. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if
we are unable to continue as a going concern.
47
Our
current liabilities greatly exceed our assets and we are unable to meet our
obligations as they become due. Additionally, we have been unable to make
certain payments to various parties for amounts currently owed to
them.
We
face significant challenges in generating revenue and maintaining adequate
working capital during the remainder of 2007 as a result of several factors.
Among other things, to date our distributors, primarily located in Asia, have
placed fewer orders than we had expected them to place under the terms of our
distribution agreements with them. This resulted in our having less revenue
and
therefore less working capital available for the further development of our
business at a time when the operating costs of our business have been
increasing. Additionally, certain long-term financing transactions that we
were
negotiating earlier this year have not materialized. In turn, this lack of
adequate working capital has put additional pressures on our ability to meet
our
obligations as they come due, including without limitation, being able to order
and pay for the tooling and manufacture of products from third parties for
sale
to our distributors, being able to pay for shipment and freight duties in
connection with such sales and being able to pay our professional advisors
and
outside consultants in a timely manner. We will require significant additional
outside capital during 2007 in order to meet all of our obligations, produce
products for sale and ship such products.
During
the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, we raised gross and net
proceeds of $281,800 net proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes and
related warrants in a private offering (the ”Summer 2007
Offering”).
In August 2007, Eugene E. Eichler, our former Chief Executive Officer and an
incumbent director, personally loaned the Company $50,000 to meet certain
expenses.
Subsequent
to end of the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, a noteholder loaned
the Company an additional $20,000 in order to meet certain
expenses. This loan is outstanding as of the date of the filing of
this Report.
Details
of Recent Financing Transactions
Equity
Line of Credit. In September 2006, to
address our longer-term capital needs, we entered into what is sometimes
referred to as an equity line of credit arrangement with Dutchess. Specifically,
we entered into an investment agreement, pursuant to which Dutchess is committed
to purchase up to $10,000,000 of our common stock over the 36-month term of
the
investment agreement. We are not obligated to request any portion of the
$10,000,000.
In
connection with the equity line of credit, we filed a Registration Statement
with the SEC (the “Dutchess Registration Statement”) on October 6, 2006 to
register 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock that we may issue under the equity
line of credit and the Dutchess Registration Statement was declared effective
by
the SEC on October 30, 2006.
Under
the line of credit we may, but are not obligated to, put shares of our stock
to
Dutchess from time to time over a 36-month period, at a purchase price
calculated at 97% of the lowest best closing bid for our common stock for the
five trading days following our put notice to Dutchess. Because the price of
our
common stock fluctuates and the number of shares of our common stock, if any,
that we may issue, should we exercise our put rights under the equity line
of
credit, will vary, we do not know how many shares, if any, we will actually
issue under the equity line of credit. If we put more than the amount that
would
require us to issue the 7,000,000 shares that we have registered with the SEC,
we would be required to file a new registration statement with regard to the
excess number of shares and have it declared effective by the SEC, before we
could make further puts under the equity line of credit.
The
actual number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the equity line of credit
is not determinable as it is based on the market price of our common stock
from
time to time and the number of shares we desire to put to Dutchess. Under the
terms of the equity line of credit, Dutchess may not own more than 4.99% of
our
issued and outstanding stock at any one time.
As
we draw down on the equity line of credit, more shares will be sold into the
market by Dutchess. These additional shares could cause our stock price to
drop.
In turn, if the stock price drops and we make more drawdown’s on the equity line
of credit, more shares will come into the market, which could cause a further
drop in the stock price. You should be aware that there is an inverse
relationship between our stock price and the number of shares to be issued
pursuant to the equity line of credit. If our stock price declines, we will
be
required to issue a greater number of shares under the equity line of credit.
We
have no obligation to utilize the full amount available under the equity line
of
credit.
48
For
purposes of the Dutchess Registration Statement, we assumed that we would put
$9,913,400, or all 7,000,000 shares, based on a closing price of our common
stock on September 20, 2006 of $1.46 per share, less the 3% discount
applicable to the price per share that Dutchess would pay under the terms of
the
equity line of credit. However, this may not in fact be the case. We would
only
be able to put a total of approximately $5,908,000 for the same 7,000,000
shares, based on a more current closing price of our Common Stock on
January 11, 2007 of $0.87 per share, less the 3% discount applicable to the
price per share that Dutchess would pay under the terms of the equity line
of
credit.
In
part, because of the drop of our stock price since the establishment of the
equity line of credit, we have not used the maximum amount of the equity line
of
credit to date that we could have used. Additionally, our capital requirements
are expected to increase for various reasons discussed in this report and other
filings we make from time to time with the SEC.
2007
PIPE Offering. From January 13 through April 27, 2007,
the Company conducted an offering (the “2007 PIPE Offering”), through Spencer
Clarke, as exclusive placement agent, of up to $2,000,000 principal amount
of
its 10% convertible notes (the “2007 PIPE Notes”). Interest on the 2007 PIPE
Notes, at a rate of 10% per annum, is payable quarterly. The Notes are due
nine
months from date of issuance. The Notes are convertible into shares of Common
Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.70 per share (the “Conversion
Shares”). The Company raised $400,000 gross proceeds ($352,000 net proceeds) in
the 2007 PIPE Offering. The per share price of the Company’s common
stock on the Pink Sheets during this period ranged from a low bid price
(intraday) of $0.58 to a high bid price (intraday) of $1.03.
The
Company has the right to redeem any or all of the outstanding 2007 PIPE Notes
in
its sole discretion anytime after the termination of the 2007 PIPE Offering
and
prior to the maturity date of the 2007 PIPE Notes. The redemption price shall
be
the face amount of the redeemed Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Subject to the following sentence, at any time prior to the maturity date of
the
2007 PIPE Notes, for each additional $1,000,000 of gross proceeds raised from
one or more offerings of the Company’s equity or quasi-equity securities, the
Company shall redeem 2007 PIPE Notes with a minimum face value of $500,000
together with accrued and unpaid interest, until the entire outstanding 2007
PIPE Note is redeemed. Certain financings that the Company may conduct outside
of North America and only up to a maximum of UK £15,000,000 in the aggregate,
are exempt from this provision to redeem the 2007 PIPE Notes in whole or in
part.
Investors
in the 2007 PIPE Offering received, for no additional consideration, a warrant
(the “2007 PIPE Warrant”), entitling the holder to purchase a number of shares
of the Company’s common stock equal to 150% of the number of shares of common
stock into which the 2007 PIPE Notes are convertible (the “Warrant Shares”). The
2007 PIPE Warrant will be exercisable on a cash basis only and will have
registration rights. The 2007 PIPE Warrant is exercisable at an initial price
of
$1.00 per share, and is exercisable immediately upon issuance and for a period
of three years from the date of issuance.
Promptly,
but no later than 90 days following the closing date of the PIPE Offering,
the
Company was required to file a registration statement with the SEC to register
the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Company was further required
to use its best efforts to ensure that the Registration Statement was declared
effective within 120 days after filing.
Pursuant
to the terms of the PIPE Notes, on the 91st day following the closing date,
(i)
the interest rate on the PIPE Notes increased from 10% to 18% per annum until
the event of default is cured and (ii) the holders of the PIPE Notes became
entitled to receive additional warrants in an amount equal to 25% of the PIPE
Warrants originally issued, for each 60-day period that the Company remains
in
default.
The
Company was unable to meet its obligations to file the Registration Statement
required under the terms of the 2007 PIPE Offering in a timely manner. In early
July 2007, the Company began discussions with Spencer Clarke, acting on behalf
of the holders of the PIPE Notes and PIPE Warrants, for an extension of time
to
file the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding such discussions, Spencer
Clarke issued a Notice of Default dated August 1, 2007 (the "Notice") to the
Company for its failure to file the Registration Statement in a timely
manner.
49
There
is some uncertainty as to when the Company first learned of the Notice. On
or
about August 23, 2007, the Company and Spencer Clarke commenced discussions
about the Notice. As a result of these discussions, a Modification Agreement
was
entered into as of August 29, 2007.
On
August 29, 2007, the Company entered into a modification agreement with the
2007
PIPE note holders. The Modification Agreement was entered into as a result
of
negotiations between the Company and Spencer Clarke, LLC ("Spencer Clarke"),
the
Company's exclusive placement agent for the 2007 PIPE Offering, after the
Company failed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
in a timely manner a registration statement (the "Registration Statement")
to
register the shares of the Company's common stock into which the PIPE Notes
are
convertible (the "Conversion Shares") and for which the PIPE Warrants may be
exercised (the "Warrant Shares").
Pursuant
to the Modification Agreement, the parties have agreed as follows:
·
|
Promptly,
but no later than November 30, 2007 (instead of on or before July
2,
2007), the Company shall file the Registration Statement
with the SEC to register the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares.
|
·
|
Effective
August 1, 2007, the interest rate on the PIPE Notes shall be increased
from 10% per annum to 18% per annum until such time as the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the
SEC.
|
·
|
The
price at which the PIPE Notes may be converted into Conversion
Shares (the
"Conversion Price") shall be reduced from $0.70 to $0.45 per
share.
|
·
|
Each
Investor shall receive, for no additional consideration, additional
warrants ("Additional Warrants") in an amount equal to an additional
50%
of the PIPE Warrants originally issued pursuant to the terms of
the 2007
PIPE Offering. The Additional Warrants shall have the same registration
rights as are described in the Private Placement Memorandum dated
January
12, 2007 (the "Offering Memorandum") used in connection with the
2007 PIPE
Offering applicable to the PIPE Warrants; shall be exercisable
immediately
upon issuance; shall remain exercisable for a period of five years
from
the date of the Modification Agreement, on a cash basis only, at
an
initial exercise price of $0.45 per share; and shall, in all other
respects, have the same terms and conditions, and be in the same
form, as
the PIPE Warrants.
|
·
|
If
the Company does not file the Registration Statement with the SEC
by
November 30, 2007, each Investor shall receive, for no additional
consideration, warrants ("Delay Warrants") in an amount equal to
an
additional 50% of the PIPE Warrants originally issued pursuant
to the
terms of the Offering Memorandum. The Delay Warrants shall have
the same
registration rights as are described in the Offering Memorandum
applicable
to the PIPE Warrants; shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance;
shall remain exercisable for a period of five years from the date
of this
Agreement, on a cash basis only, at an initial exercise price of
$0.45 per
share; and shall, in all other respects, have the same terms and
conditions, and be in the same form, as the PIPE
Warrants.
|
The
terms and conditions of the Offering Memorandum, the PIPE Notes and the PIPE
Warrants, to the extent not expressly amended in the Modification Agreement,
remain in full force and effect. The
issuance of the Additional Warrants (“Delay Warrants”), if any, and the
reduction of the Conversion Price of the PIPE Notes, has the potential to dilute
the percentage ownership interest of the Company's existing
shareholders.
2007
Spring Offering. From June 13, 2007 through
June 26, 2007, the Company conducted a private offering (the “Spring 2007
Offering”) of up to $550,000 aggregate face amount of its convertible notes (the
“Spring 2007 Notes”) with a small number of accredited investors. Of this
amount, $451,000 aggregate face amount of the Spring 2007 Notes were sold for
an
aggregate purchase price of $410,000. Therefore, while the stated interest
rate
on the Spring 2007 Notes is 0%, the actual interest rate on the Spring 2007
Notes is 10%. The Spring 2007 Notes mature on the first anniversary of their
date of issuance. The Spring 2007 Notes are convertible, at the option of the
noteholders, into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Conversion
Shares”) at an initial conversion price equal to the average of the closing bid
price of the Company’s Common Stock for the five trading days preceding the
closing dates of the Spring 2007 Offering (the “Conversion Prices”). Up to
1,210,489 Conversion Shares are initially issuable at Conversion Prices of
either $0.34 or $0.53 per share, depending upon which of the two closing dates
of the Spring 2007 Offering the Spring 2007 Notes were sold. The per
share price of the Company’s common stock on the Pink Sheets during this period
ranged from a low bid price (intraday) of $0.35 to a high bid price (intraday)
of $0.59.
50
Each
of the investors in the Spring 2007 Offering received, for no additional
consideration, a warrant (the “Spring 2007 Warrants”), entitling the holder to
purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 50% of the
number of shares of common stock into which the Spring 2007 Notes are
convertible (the “Warrant Shares”). Each Spring 2007 Warrant is exercisable on a
cash basis only at an initial price of $0.50 per share, and is exercisable
immediately upon issuance and for a period of two years from the date of
issuance. Up to 605,242 Warrant Shares are initially issuable on exercise of
the
Spring 2007 Warrants.
The
Company received $410,000 gross and net proceeds in the 2007 Spring Offering.
The proceeds of the Spring 2007 Offering were used for general corporate
purposes and working capital and have been exhausted.
2007
Summer Offering. From
August 8, 2007 through September 27, 2007, the Company conducted a private
offering (the "Summer 2007 Offering") of up to $330,000 aggregate face amount
of
its convertible notes (the "Summer 2007 Notes") with a small number of
accredited investors. Of this amount, $309,980 aggregate face amount of the
Summer 2007 Notes were sold for an aggregate purchase price of $281,800. While
the stated interest rate on the Summer 2007 Notes is 0%, the actual interest
rate on the Summer 2007 Notes is 10%. The Summer 2007 Notes mature on the first
anniversary of their date of issuance, i.e. September 28, 2007. The Summer
2007
Notes are convertible, at the option of the noteholder, into shares of common
stock of the Company (the "Conversion Shares") at a conversion price equal
to
the average of the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock for the
five
trading days preceding the closing date of the Summer 2007 Offering (the
"Conversion Prices"). Up to 837,784 Conversion Shares are issuable at a
Conversion Price of $0.37 per share.
Each
of the investors in the Summer 2007 Offering received, for no additional
consideration, a warrant (the "Summer 2007 Warrants"), entitling the holder
to
purchase a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to 50% of the
number of shares of common stock into which the Summer 2007 Notes are
convertible (the "Warrant Shares"). Each Summer 2007 Warrant is exercisable
on a
cash basis only at a price of $0.50 per share, and is exercisable for a period
of two years from the date of issuance, i.e. September 28, 2007. Up to 418,892
Warrant Shares are initially issuable on exercise of the Summer 2007
Warrants.
The
Company received $281,800 gross and net proceeds in the 2007 Summer Offering.
The proceeds of the Summer 2007 Offering will be used for general corporate
purposes and working capital.
2007
Fall Offering. On November 14, 2007, the
Company initiated a Fall Offering of Convertible Notes to raise a minimum of
$25,000 and a maximum of $1,000,000 of net proceeds. The Notes are
offered at a discount of 10% and are convertible into shares of the Company’s
Common Stock at a price equal to the average closing bid price of the Company’s
Common Stock for the five trading days prior to the Closing
Date. Noteholders will receive Warrants to purchase a number of
shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of
Common Stock initially issuable on conversion of the associated Note. The
Closing Date will be on or before December 31, 2007. As of November
16, 2007, the Company has raised $125,000 in net proceeds.
Summary. We
have cash on hand to meet expenses only for a short period of
time. In order to fund the repayment of our outstanding notes, we
must raise additional funds. These notes include a series of 2007
Pipe Notes due by the end of 2007; the Morale Orchard Notes due in December
2007
and January 2008; the Spring 2007 Notes due in June 2008 and the Summer 2007
Notes due in September 2008. In addition to the funds required to
continue to operate our business, including without limitation the expenses
we
will incur in connection with the license and research and development
agreements with Temple University, costs associated with product development
and
commercialization of the ELEKTRA technology, costs to manufacture and ship
our
products, costs to design and implement an effective system of internal controls
and disclosure controls and procedures, costs of maintaining our status as
a
public company by filing periodic reports with the SEC, and costs required
to
protect our intellectual property. In addition, as discussed below, we have
substantial contractual commitments, including without limitation salaries
to
our executive officers pursuant to employment agreements, certain severance
payments to a former officer and consulting fees, during the remainder of 2007
and beyond.
51
In
light of the Company’s financial commitments over the next several months and
its liquidity constraints, we are implementing cost reduction measures in all
areas of operations, including but not limited to personnel lay-offs and/or
reductions in work, reductions in marketing and advertising, deferral of placing
orders to manufacturers of our ECO ChargR and MAG ChargR products for sale
to
our existing distributors, reductions in research and development and product
development of ELEKTRA products, and reductions of certain other expenses.
We
intend to review these measures on an ongoing basis and make additional
decisions as may be required.
We
may continue to use our equity line of credit for some of our additional
requirements for 2007. However, even if we continued to use our
equity line of credit, it will not be sufficient to meet all of our current
liabilities and other obligations in 2007. Among other things, the thin trading
of our common stock may limit our ability to use the equity line of credit
without adversely affecting the price of our common stock. Therefore, in
addition to the completed 2007 Spring Offering and the 2007 Summer Offering,
the
Company is actively pursuing additional financing alternatives, but no
commitments have been received and, accordingly, no assurance can be given
that
any financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms
that
are satisfactory to the Company. At present, we have relatively few financing
options available to us.
Contractual
Obligations
The
following table discloses our contractual commitments for future periods.
Long-term commitments are comprised operating leases and minimum guaranteed
compensation payments under employment and other agreements. See Note 12 to

This
amount includes, with respect to the North Hollywood facility: (i)
unpaid
rent from January 2007 through July 2007, in the aggregate
amount of $43,995; and (ii) a $100 per day penalty from
January 1, 2006 through July 31, 2007, totaling $57,700,
resulting in an aggregate amount of $101,695 for unpaid rent and/or
unpaid
late fees claimed by the landlord, for which the landlord claims
we are
liable pursuant to a certain provision of the sublease. We believe
that
there are numerous reasons why we should not be liable for most,
or all,
of any such penalties; however, no assurance can be given that we
would
not be liable for any or all of such penalties. We did not renew
the
sublease for our corporate offices at North Hollywood, California,
and
vacated the premises prior to the expiration of the sublease on
July 31, 2007. See Notes 6 and 12 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, for additional information regarding this matter.
We

Licensing
Fees to Temple University. We have obtained a license from Temple
University for their patent-pending uniform electric field technology,
tentatively called ELEKTRA™. The ELEKTRA technology consists of passing fuel
through a specific strong electrical field.
We
have entered into two license agreements with Temple University, one covering
Temple University ‘s current patent application concerning certain electric
field effects on gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel particle size distribution,
and the other covering Temple University’s current patent application concerning
electric field effects on crude oil viscosity, and any and all United States
and
foreign patents issuing in respect of the technologies described in such
applications (individually, a “License Agreement” and collectively, the “License
Agreements”). Initially, the License Agreements are exclusive and the territory
licensed to the Company is worldwide. Pursuant to the License Agreements, the
Company will pay Temple University (i) license fees in the aggregate amount
of $250,000.00, payable in three installments of $100,000.00, the first
installment of which was paid in March 2007, and $75,000.00 on each of
February 2, 2008 and February 2, 2009, respectively; and
(ii) annual maintenance fees of $125,000 annually commencing
January 1, 2008. In addition, each License Agreement separately provides
that the Company will pay royalties to Temple University on net sales of
products incorporating the technology licensed under that License Agreement
in
an amount equal to 7% of the first $20 million of net sales, 6% of the next
$20 million of net sales and 5% of net sales in excess of $40 million.
Sales under the two License Agreements are not aggregated for purposes of
calculating the royalties payable to Temple University. In addition, the Company
has agreed to bear all costs of obtaining and maintaining patents in any
jurisdiction where the Company directs Temple University to pursue a patent
for
either of the licensed technologies. Should the Company not wish to pursue
a
patent in a particular jurisdiction, that jurisdiction would not be included
in
the territory licensed to the Company.
We
have also entered into a research and development agreement (“R&D
Agreement”) with Temple University to conduct further research on the ELEKTRA
technology. Under the R&D Agreement, Temple University will conduct a
24-month research project towards expanding the scope of, and developing
products utilizing, the technologies covered under the License Agreements,
including design and manufacture of prototypes utilizing electric fields to
improve diesel, gasoline and kerosene fuel injection in engines using such
fuels
and a device utilizing a magnetic field to reduce crude oil viscosity for crude
oil (paraffin and mixed base) flow in pipelines. Pursuant to the R&D
Agreement, we will make payments to Temple University in the aggregate amount
of
$500,000.00, payable in eight non-refundable installments commencing with
$123,750, which was paid in March 2007, and $53,750 every three months
thereafter until paid in full. If the research project yields results within
the
scope of the technologies licensed pursuant to the License Agreements, those
results will be deemed included as rights licensed to the Company pursuant
to
the License Agreements. If the research project yields results outside of the
scope of the technologies covered by the License Agreements, the Company has
a
six-month right of first negotiation to enter into a new worldwide, exclusive
license agreement with Temple University for the intellectual property covered
by those results.
Payments
of $53,750 with respect to the R&D Agreement, which were due in June and
September 2007, have not yet been made to Temple University.
Severance
Payments to Former Officers. On November 9, 2006, Eugene E.
Eichler resigned as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
due
to a medical disability. Mr. Eichler’s resignation as Chief Executive
Officer took effect on November 20, 2006 and his resignation as Chief
Financial Officer took effect on the appointment of his successor on
January 8, 2007.
53
Under
the terms of Mr. Eichler’s separation as an officer of the Company, he is
entitled to be paid out the remainder of the cash portion of his employment
agreement, at a rate of $300,000 per annum, through December 31, 2007, in
accordance with the Company’s normal pay policies. Options granted to him in
February 2006 have been accelerated and fully vested on November 20,
2006; additionally, Mr. Eichler will have until November 20, 2007 to
exercise such options. Mr. Eichler is also entitled to receive a stock
option grant in 2007 equal to the lesser of (i) the number of stock options
Mr. Eichler was granted in 2006 or (ii) the highest number of options
granted to any of the then Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial
Officer on an annualized basis, on terms no less favorable as granted to such
person; provided, however, that such options to be granted to Mr. Eichler
shall be fully vested upon grant and shall be exercisable for one year from
the
date of grant. The Company and Mr. Eichler have waived any claims they may
have against each other and have agreed to mutual indemnification.
Of
the payments we are required to make under this arrangement, we have paid
$25,000 for January 2007 and have accrued but not yet paid $200,000 through
September 30, 2007, by agreement between the Company and
Mr. Eichler.
On
June 15, 2007, the Company and Bruce H. McKinnon entered into an agreement
(the “McKinnon Separation Agreement”) which provided that Mr. McKinnon
would resign as Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective on the first
to
occur of (i) the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer by the Board
of Directors and (ii) July 31, 2007. Under the terms of the McKinnon
Separation Agreement, Mr. McKinnon would have continued to serve as
President of the Company and receive the compensation provided for in accordance
with the provisions of the Employment Agreement between Mr. McKinnon and the
Company dated as of October 5, 2005 (the “McKinnon Employment Agreement”)
through December 31, 2007, the end of the term of that
agreement. In addition Mr. McKinnon will continue to serve as a
Director of the Company, until he has resigned, been removed by the stockholders
or not been re-elected to the Board. The Company and Mr. McKinnon have
waived any claims they may have against each other and have agreed to mutual
indemnification.
On
July 18, 2007, Bruce H. McKinnon was removed by the Board of Directors as
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, STWA Asia Pte. Limited (“STWA Asia”), effective immediately. The
Company is currently reviewing its rights and responsibilities with respect
to
the McKinnon Employment Agreement, the McKinnon Separation Agreement and other
matters pertaining to Mr. McKinnon’s tenure as President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. See Part II, Item 1, “Legal
Proceedings” and Item 5, “Other Information”.
Of
the payments provided for under the McKinnon Employment Agreement, we have
paid
$20,000 for January 2007 and have accrued but not yet paid $160,000 through
September 30, 2007. We have not made any payments to Mr. McKinnon under the
McKinnon Separation Agreement.
Appointment
of new President and Chief Executive Officer. On July
25, 2007, the
Company appointed Charles R. Blum to serve as the Company’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, his
employment is for a one-year term, subject to automatic one-year extensions
and
provides for annual base compensation of $200,000 per year, subject to periodic
review and adjustment. In addition, he will receive an automobile
allowance of $900 per month and four weeks of paid vacation
annually. Also, he is entitled to participate in all employee benefit
plans that the Company makes available to its employees generally; provided
that
if Mr. Blum elects not to participate in the Company’s group medical insurance
plan, he will be reimbursed in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the premium
the Company would have paid to include him as a participant in that group health
insurance plan and (ii) the sums paid by him in connection with maintaining
his
private health insurance. The Company will also reimburse him the
reasonable costs paid by him for maintaining DSL Internet access and other
direct costs of maintaining an office at his home, but only until such time
as
the Company shall provide him with an office at a location reasonably acceptable
to him.
54
Transactions
with Spencer Clarke. Spencer Clarke has served as our exclusive
placement agent in recent offerings of our securities. We also have retained
Spencer Clarke as a consultant to the Company, for which it will be separately
compensated.
We
entered into a consulting agreement dated January 4, 2007 with Spencer
Clarke (the “Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which Spencer Clarke has agreed
that for a twelve-month period beginning January 15, 2007, Spencer Clarke
will provide us with financial consulting services (including but not limited
to
executive search, strategic partnerships, research on new markets, strategic
visibility, etc) to help further develop our strategic business
plan.
For
Spencer Clarke’s services, we have agreed to pay Spencer Clarke a non-refundable
fee of $20,000 per month, payable in advance. The first payment, in the amount
of $60,000 and covering three months, was payable by us on March 15, 2007.
We will also reimburse Spencer Clarke for expenses they incur in connection
with
the performance of their services under the Consulting Agreement, provided
that
expenses in excess of $2,000 require our prior approval before they may be
incurred by Spencer Clarke. To date, we have not made any payments under the
Consulting Agreement and have accrued $180,000 through September 30, 2007 with
respect to this obligation.
We
have agreed to indemnify Spencer Clarke against any losses, claims, damages
or
liabilities to which Spencer Clarke may become subject arising out of or in
connection with the services they render under the Consulting Agreement, unless
it is finally judicially determined that such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arose primarily out of the gross negligence or bad faith of Spencer
Clarke. We have also agreed to reimburse Spencer Clarke immediately for any
legal or other expenses they reasonably incur in connection with investigating,
preparing to defend or defending any lawsuits or other proceedings arising
out
of or in connection with their rendering of services under the Consulting
Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of a final judicial
determination that the alleged losses, claims, damages or liabilities arose
primarily out of the gross negligence or bad faith of Spencer Clarke, Spencer
Clarke will remit to us any amounts reimbursed, but the amount which Spencer
Clarke must remit in such event is limited to the fee payable by us to Spencer
Clarke under the Consulting Agreement.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results
of
operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared
in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure
of
contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an on-going basis, our
estimates and judgments, including those related to the useful life of the
assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that
we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from
these estimates.
The
methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting
policies have a significant impact on the consolidated results that we report
in
our financial statements. The SEC considers an entity’s most critical accounting
policies to be those policies that are both most important to the portrayal
of a
company’s financial condition and results of operations and those that require
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain at
the
time of estimation.. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting policies
of the Company, see Note 2 of Notes to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, require
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed
consolidated financial statements:
55
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Certain significant estimates were made in connection with preparing our
condensed consolidated financial statements as described in Note 1 to Notes
to
condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company has adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition” and
therefore recognizes revenue based upon meeting four criteria:
|
•
|
|
Persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
|
|||
|
•
|
|
Delivery
has occurred or services rendered;
|
|
|||
|
•
|
|
The
seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable;
and
|
|
|||
|
•
|
|
Collectability
is reasonably assured.
|
The
Company contract manufactures fixed magnetic field products and sells them
to
various original equipment manufacturers in the motor vehicle and small utility
motor markets. The Company negotiates an initial contract with the customer
fixing the terms of the sale and then receives a letter of credit or full
payment in advance of shipment. Upon shipment, the Company recognizes the
revenue associated with the sale of the products to the customer.
Long-lived
assets
The
Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets.” In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets to
be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that
their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews
the carrying values of long-lived assets to determine whether or not impairment
to such value has occurred. No impairments were recorded for the year ended
December 31, 2006. The Company recorded an impairment of approximately
$505,000 during the period from inception (February 18, 1998) through
December 31, 2006.
Stock-Based
Compensation
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”)
which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for
all
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated
fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees”, for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the SEC
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123R.
The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS
123R.
The
Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method,
which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1,
2006, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The Company’s financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflect the
impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition
method, the Company’s financial statements for prior periods have not been
restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for employee and directors
for
the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2,253,263. Basic and diluted loss per
share for the year ended December 31, 2006 would have been ($0.21) per
share, if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared to reported basic
and
diluted loss per share of ($0.28) per share.
SFAS
123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards
to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.
The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is
recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s
Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the
Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 included
compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not
yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the pro-forma provisions of Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123”) and
compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent
to
January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123R. For stock-based awards issued to employees
and
directors, stock-based compensation is attributed to expense using the
straight-line single option method, which is consistent with how the
prior-period pro formas were provided. As stock-based compensation expense
recognized in the Statements of Operations for the second quarter of fiscal
2006
is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for
estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the
time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates. In our pro-forma information required
under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted
for
forfeitures as they occurred.
56
The
Company’s determination of fair value of share-based payment awards to employees
and directors on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing
formula (“Black-Scholes model”), which is affected by the Company’s stock price
as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective
variables. These variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock
price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee
stock option exercise behaviors.
The
Company has elected to adopt the detailed method provided in SFAS 123R for
calculating the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC
pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to
determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Statements of Cash Flows
of
the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding
upon adoption of SFAS 123R.
The
Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued to non-employees
for
goods and services using the guidance of SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task
Force
(“EITF”) No. 96-18: “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services,” whereby the fair value of such option and warrant grants is
determined using the Black-Scholes model at the earlier of the date at which
the
non-employee’s performance is completed or a performance commitment is
reached.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Statement
No. 157
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), SFAS 157 establishes a formal framework for
measuring fair value under GAAP. It defines and codifies the many definitions
of
fair value included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies
and,
in some instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value
measurements, and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value
measurements. Although SFAS 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing
FASB and AICPA pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair
value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 applies
to all other accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value
measurements, except for; SFAS 123R, share-based payment and related
pronouncements, the practicability exceptions to fair value determinations
allowed by various other authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements
of
Position 97-2 and 98-9 that deal with software revenue recognition. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years.
Statement
No. 159
In
February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex
hedge
accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this
Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair
value
at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains
and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings
(or
another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings)
at each subsequent reporting date. This Statement is effective as of the
beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material affect
on
our financial statements.
57
Interpretation
No. 48
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an
interpretation of FASB Statement No 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN
48”).” FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or
expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an
uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial
statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit
that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim
periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as
of
June 30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state
of California. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax
examinations by tax authorities for years after 2002. During the periods open
to
examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards
for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed
periods. Since these net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards may
be
utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company’s
policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income
tax expense. As of June 30, 2007, The Company has no accrued interest or
penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company believes that it
has
not taken any uncertain tax positions that would impact its condensed
consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2007. Also as of the date
of
adoption, and as of June 30, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for
unrecognized tax benefits.
EITF
00-19-2
Effective
in the first quarter of 2007 the Company adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF
00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” issued on December
21, 2006 (“FSP 00-19-2”). FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation
to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration
payment, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision
of a
financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and
measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies.” For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments
subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance
of
EITF 00-19-2, this guidance is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those
fiscal years.
Item 3.
Controls and Procedures
a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management evaluated,
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
the
end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Based on
this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Exchange Act”)) are not adequate to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in SEC rules and forms. These matters persist despite our having developed
and
partially implemented a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded
accurately, processed effectively, summarized promptly and reported on a timely
basis. Our plan to date has involved, in part, reallocation of responsibilities
among officers, various other personnel and some of our directors, and hiring
additional personnel. We began to implement this plan during 2005, including
the
hiring in August 2005 of a Controller who is a Certified Public Accountant.
However, in December 2006 our Controller retired and in January 2007
our Chief Financial Officer retired, although our former Controller still
provides certain financial consulting services for us. We have hired a new
part-time Chief Financial Officer and a full-time Controller, although the
latter is not a Certified Public Accountant. One of several specific additional
steps that the Company believes it must undertake is to retain a consulting
firm
to, among other things, design and implement adequate systems of accounting
and
financial statement disclosure controls during the current fiscal year to comply
with the requirements of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our
plan to improve our disclosure controls and procedures will require a
combination of additional financial resources, outside consulting services,
legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of responsibility
among
various persons, and substantial additional training of those of our officers,
personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our Chairman
of
the Board and committee chairs, who are charged with implementing and/or
carrying out our plan. It should also be noted that the design of any system
of
controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions,
regardless of how remote.
(b)Changes
in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in our
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB that has materially affected,
or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
58
PART II
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
Litigation
Involving Jeffrey A. Muller
On
December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal
District Court, Southern District of New York, against us, our former President
and then sole director Jeffrey A. Muller, and others, alleging that we and
the
other defendants were engaged in a fraudulent scheme to promote our stock.
The
SEC complaint alleged the existence of a promotional campaign using press
releases, Internet postings, an elaborate website, and televised media events
to
disseminate false and materially misleading information as part of a fraudulent
scheme to manipulate the market for stock in our corporation, which was then
controlled by Mr. Muller. On March 22, 2002, we signed a Consent to
Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and Other Relief in settlement of this
action as against the corporation only, which the court approved on July 2,
2002. Under this settlement, we were not required to admit fault and did not
pay
any fines or restitution. The SEC’s charges of fraud and stock manipulation
continue against Mr. Muller and others.
On
July 2, 2002, after an investigation by our newly constituted board of
directors, we filed a cross-complaint in the SEC action against Mr. Muller
and others seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement of monies and stock and
financial restitution for a variety of acts and omissions in connection with
sales of our stock and other transactions occurring between 1998 and 2002.
Among
other things, we alleged that Mr. Muller and certain others sold Company
stock without providing adequate consideration to us; sold insider shares
without making proper disclosures and failed to make necessary filing required
under federal securities laws; engaged in self-dealing and entered into various
undisclosed related-party transactions; misappropriated for their own use
proceeds from sales of our stock; and entered into various undisclosed
arrangement regarding the control, voting and disposition of their stock. On
July 30, 2002, the U.S. Federal District Court, Southern District of New
York, granted our application for a preliminary injunction against
Mr. Muller and others, which prevented Mr. Muller and other
cross-defendants from selling, transferring, or encumbering any assets and
property previously acquired from us, from selling or transferring any of our
stock that they may own or control, or from taking any action to injure us
or
our business and from having any direct contact with our shareholders. The
injunctive order also prevents Mr. Muller from engaging in any effort to
exercise control over our corporation and from serving as an officer or director
of our company. While we believe that we have valid claims, there can be no
assurance that an adverse result or settlement would not have a material adverse
effect on our financial position or cash flow.
In
the course of the litigation, we have obtained ownership control over
Mr. Muller’s 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. Muller’s 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. Muller’s bankruptcy trustee, the
trustee transferred to us all ownership and legal rights to this international
patent application for the ZEFS device.
Both
the SEC and we filed Motions for Summary Judgment contending that there are
no
material issues of fact in contention and as a matter of law, the Court should
grant a judgment against Mr. Muller and the cross-defendants.
Mr. Muller
and several of the defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the complaint filed
by
us and moved for summary judgment in their favor. On December 28, 2004,
Judge George B. Daniels, denied the cross-defendants’ motion to dismiss our
cross-complaint, denied the defendants’ request to vacate the July 2, 2002
preliminary injunction and denied their request for damages against us. The
court also refused to grant a summary judgment in favor of the cross-defendants
and dismissed Mr. Muller’s 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.
59
On
November 16, 2005, the Court granted the SEC’s motion for summary judgment.
In granting the motion, the Court has barred Mr. Muller from serving as an
officer or director of a public company for a period of 20 years, ordered
Mr. Muller to disgorge any shares of our stock that he still owns and
directed the Company to cancel any issued and outstanding shares of our stock
still owned by Mr. Muller. Mr. Muller was also ordered to disgorge to
the SEC unlawful profits in the amount of $7.5 million and a pay a civil
penalty in the amount of $100,000. Acting in accordance with the ruling and
decision of the Court, we have canceled (i) 8,047,403 shares of its common
stock held by Mr. Muller and/or his affiliates, (ii) options to
acquire an additional 10,000,000 shares of our common stock held by
Mr. Muller personally and (iii) $1,017,208 of debt which Mr. Muller
claimed was owed to him by the Company.
Muller
subsequently filed a Notice of Appeal from the Judgment resulting from this
decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York. The clerk of the
Court recently issued an Order dismissing this appeal.
In
response to the November 16, 2005 decision by the Court, Muller filed a
motion seeking to set aside the Decision and Order of the Court. On
March 31, 2006, the Court issued a Decision and Order denying Muller’s
Motion to set aside the Decision on Summary Judgment issued against Muller
on
November 16, 2005.
On
October 27, 2006, Magistrate Judge Frank Maas, Federal District Court of
the Southern District of New York, issued an order granting summary judgment
in
favor of the Company. The ruling provided that all shares, options and any
other
obligations allegedly owed by the Company to Jeffrey A. Muller, its former
Chairman, were to be disgorged. The ruling also confirmed an earlier decision
issued on November 16, 2005 in favor of the SEC holding Mr. Muller
liable for $7.5 million in actual damages, imposing a $100,000 fine and
barring Muller from any involvement with a publicly traded company for
20 years. With prejudgment interest, this ruling brings the actual damages
against Muller to over $9 million. Additionally, the Court further
clarified that the scope of its previous disgorgement order required the
disgorgement of any shares of the Company’s stock that Mr. Muller or any of his
nominees directly or indirectly own or control. The Company has taken action
to
cancel over 3.6 million shares which had been issued to the offshore
companies.
The
Court also confirmed the appropriateness of an action previously taken by the
Company to acquire the patent rights and to consolidate the manufacturing,
marketing and distribution rights with its ownership of all rights to the
existing patents.
Finally,
the Court ruled that Mr. Muller had no claim to an alleged $500,000 debt
owed to him while the damages of over $9 million remain unpaid. The Court
also ruled that other assets that were transferred by Mr. Muller to members
of his family through various offshore corporations were also to be disgorged.
Because the Court left unresolved an issue concerning claims against one Muller
family member, the Company sought a modification of the Order. On
February 8, 2007, Judge Maas issued an Amended Order, which concluded that
all of the STWA shares of Muller or any of his nominees directly or indirectly
owned or controlled were to be recaptured by STWA and were subject to
disgorgement and forfeiture. With this modification of the October 27, 2007
ruling, this order provides the complete relief requested by the Company in
its
motion for summary judgment.
In
April 2005, Jeffrey A. Muller, the Company’s 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. Muller’s bankruptcy trustee
declared null and void.
This
lawsuit brought by Mr. Muller arose out of the same claims that are the
subject of ongoing litigation in the Federal District Court for the Southern
District of New York, in which we have previously obtained a preliminary
injunction against Mr. Muller barring him from any involvement with the
Company 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. Muller’s 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.
60
On
January 25, 2006, Mr. Muller’s complaint, filed in the California
District Court and transferred to the Federal Court in the Southern District
of
New York, was assigned to Judge George B. Daniels. That Complaint is currently
pending, however, the issues raised in this Complaint arise from the same claims
already decided by the Court in its February 8, 2007 Amended Order. The
Company plans to file a request to dismiss the pending Complaint on several
grounds, including that the claims sought to be litigated in this latter
complaint has been included within the Summary Judgment Motions decided against
Muller, his nominees and assignees. While we believe that we have valid claims
and defenses, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome on
the
pending motions or a trial of this case would not have a material adverse effect
on our financial position or cash flow.
Litigation
Involving Sublessor of Former Corporate Offices
On
July 19, 2007, Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. doing business as KZG
(“KZG”) sued us in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging unlawful detainer by us
of our then-leased corporate offices at 5125 Lankershim Boulevard, North
Hollywood, California, and failure to pay past due rent and penalties in the
aggregate amount of $104,413. In its complaint, KZG also seeks attorney fees.
Bruce H. McKinnon, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer,
and an incumbent director, is, we believe, the Chairman and an owner of KZG.
Mr. McKinnon’s wife is the President of KZG.
On
July 25, 2007, the parties entered into an agreement pursuant to which KZG
would
dismiss the eviction action. However, KZG reserved the right to amend its
complaint to include a demand for past due rent and penalties. We
agreed to vacate the premises and KZG agreed not to further prosecute their
eviction action. We vacated the premises on July 25,
2007. On August 30, 2007, KZG filed an amended complaint which was
answered by the Company on October 5, 2007.
We
strongly disagree with the apparent position of KZG that there is a discrepancy
in the calculation of base rent as far back as April 1, 2004 and that a
penalty of $100 per day should be imposed continuously since January 1,
2006 under the terms of a certain provision of the current sublease with KZG.
There may also be other aspects of KZG’s positions or apparent positions with
which we strongly disagree. We may also have counterclaims against KZG and
its
officers and directors.
While
we believe that we have valid claims and defenses, given the inherent
uncertainties of litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome of
this
matter would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or
cash flow. See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding this
matter.
Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds
From
August 8, 2007 through September 27, 2007, the Company conducted a private
offering (the "Summer 2007 Offering") of up to $330,000 aggregate face amount
of
its convertible notes (the "Summer 2007 Notes") with a small number of
accredited investors. Of this amount, $309,980 aggregate face amount of the
Summer 2007 Notes were sold for an aggregate purchase price of $281,800. While
the stated interest rate on the Summer 2007 Notes is 0%, the actual interest
rate on the Summer 2007 Notes is 10%. The Summer 2007 Notes mature on the first
anniversary of their date of issuance, i.e. September 28, 2007. The Summer
2007
Notes are convertible, at the option of the noteholder, into shares of common
stock of the Company (the "Conversion Shares") at a conversion price equal
to
the average of the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock for the
five
trading days preceding the closing date of the Summer 2007 Offering (the
"Conversion Prices"). Up to 837,784 Conversion Shares are issuable at a
Conversion Price of $0.37 per share.
61
Each
of the investors in the Summer 2007 Offering received, for no additional
consideration, a warrant (the "Summer 2007 Warrants"), entitling the holder
to
purchase a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to 50% of the
number of shares of common stock into which the Summer 2007 Notes are
convertible (the "Warrant Shares"). Each Summer 2007 Warrant is exercisable
on a
cash basis only at a price of $0.50 per share, and is exercisable for a period
of two years from the date of issuance, i.e. September 28, 2007. Up to 418,892
Warrant Shares are initially issuable on exercise of the Summer 2007
Warrants.
The
Company received $281,800 gross and net proceeds in the 2007 Summer Offering.
The proceeds of the Summer 2007 Offering will be used for general corporate
purposes and working capital.
The
sales 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,
as amended (the “Act”), or Regulations D or S promulgated
thereunder.

Other Information
Due
to
inadvertent problems occurring during the Edgarization process, certain
information contained in our 10QSB filed on November 19, 2007, was not properly
organized and formatted. This amendment presents the information
properly and does not reflect any material changes.
On
October 1, 2007, the Company retained the law firm of Gartenberg Gelfand Wasson
& Selden LLP as new Corporate and Securities Counsel located in Los Angeles,
California.
On
November 5, 2007, Mr. Charles Dargan resigned as Chief Executive Officer of
the
Company and Mr. Eugene E. Eichler was appointed Interim Chief Financial
Officer. Mr. Eichler has been working full time since June 15, 2007
without cash compensation and will continue as Interim Chief Financial Officer
without cash compensation. In return for these services, the Board of
Directors, on October 18, 2007, extended the expiration date of Mr. Eichler’s
options to November 20, 2008
