SAVE
THE WORLD AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A
DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
and basis of presentation
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Save the
World Air, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form
10-Q and Regulation S-K for scaled disclosures for smaller reporting companies.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America for
complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the
consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations.
Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be obtained for a full fiscal year.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2008 was
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
Going
Concern
Since its
inception, the Company has been primarily engaged in organizational and
pre-operating activities. The Company has generated insignificant revenues and
has incurred accumulated losses of $45,274,826 from February 18, 1998
(Inception) through June 30, 2009. As reflected in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,531,762 and
a negative cash flow from operations of $853,032 for the six months ended June
30, 2009, and had a working capital deficiency of $3,973,639 and a stockholders'
deficiency of $3,847,426 at June 30, 2009. The Company is currently
unable to meet its cash obligations and is in default of certain of its
convertible note agreements and its obligations under its license agreements
with Temple University (see Note 8). As a result, the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company's
2008 consolidated financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Our
operations to date have been funded through issuances of our common stock
and convertible notes whereby we raised an aggregate $17,962,517 from
February 18, 1998 (inception) through June 30, 2009. Based on our current
operating plan, we believe that we do not have sufficient cash and cash
equivalents to implement our operating plan. We will need to obtain additional
financing in addition to the funds already raised through the sale of equity
securities to fund our cash needs and continue our operations. Additional
financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing,
arrangements with stockholders or other sources to fund operations, may not be
available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to
maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to raise additional
capital. If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership
percentage of our existing stockholders would be reduced. New investors may
demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of
our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability
of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could
impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to
satisfy either medium or long-term capital requirements, our operations and
liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cut
back our operations.
Description
of business
Save the
World Air, Inc. (“STWA”) designs, licenses and develops products to increase
engine performance, reduce harmful emissions and increase fuel
efficiency. 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. Technologies patented by or licensed to us utilize
either magnetic or uniform electrical fields to alter physical characteristics
of fuels and are designed to create cleaner combustion. Cleaner combustion has
been shown to improve performance, enhance fuel economy and/or reduce harmful
emissions in laboratory testing.
The
Company has three product lines; MAG ChargR™ and ECO ChargR™, ELEKTRA™ and AOT
(Applied Oil Technology). The Company believes development of MAG
ChargR is complete and it will be ready to be manufactured by the end of third
quarter 2009. We believe the ELEKTRA is nearing the end of the
product development cycle which we believe will culminate in an upcoming SAE
(Society of Automotive Engineers) test to prove and certify the level of fuel
savings. AOT is in the research and development phase.
16
The
Company was incorporated on February 18, 1998, as a Nevada corporation,
under the name Mandalay Capital Corporation. The Company changed its name to
Save the World Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999, following the acquisition of
marketing and manufacturing rights of the ZEFS technologies.
2.
Summary of significant accounting policies
Development
stage enterprise
The
Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises.” All losses accumulated since the inception of the
Company have been considered as part of the 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, worldwide; and the Company is in the early stages of developing
ELEKTRA products. Expenses have been funded 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.
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.
Loss
per share
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted loss 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 loss of the Company. In computing diluted
loss per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and
warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the
average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive
effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the
common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and
warrants. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the dilutive
impact of outstanding stock options of 4,551,225 and 1,901,225 respectively, and
outstanding warrants of 10,396,328 and 13,319,020 have been excluded because
their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and
non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing
costs. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment”, effective
February 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which
compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on
the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the
effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards
granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remained
unvested on the effective date.
The
Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to
non-employees in accordance with 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" and EITF No. 00-18: "Accounting
Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to
Other Than Employees" whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon
the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance
commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to
earn the equity instruments is complete.
17
Fair
value of financial instruments
Fair
Value Measurements are determined by the Company's adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
("SFAS 157") as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the
application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and
liabilities as permitted. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material
impact on the Company's fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair
value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a fair
value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into
three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs,
other than the quoted prices in active markets, are observable either directly
or indirectly.
Level 3—Unobservable
inputs based on the Company's assumptions.
SFAS 157
requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without
undue cost and effort
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
December 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 141R,
“Business Combinations (revised 2007)” (SFAS 141R”) was issued. SFAS
141R replaces SFAS 141 “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141R requires
the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree at fair value. SFAS 141R also requires transactions costs related to
the business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The effective date, as well as the adoption date
for the Company was January 1, 2009. Although SFAS 141R may impact
our reporting in future financial periods, we have determined that the standard
did not have any impact on our historical consolidated financial statements at
the time of adoption.
In April
2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of
the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”), which amends the factors
that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to
determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
142. This pronouncement requires enhanced disclosures concerning a
company’s treatment of costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a
recognized intangible asset. FST 142-3 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
effective date, as well as the adoption date for the Company was January 1,
2009. Although FSP 142-3 may impact our reporting in future financial
periods, we have determined that the standard did not have any impact on our
historical consolidated financial statements at the time of
adoption.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by
management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future
consolidated financial statements.
3. Certain relationships
and related transactions
Loans
from related parties and shareholders
In May
2007, August 2007 and May 2009, a former officer and incumbent director of the
Company loaned $31,404, $50,000 and $5,000 to the Company. These amounts are
unsecured, bear interest at 6% per annum and are due on demand. At
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the balance of these loans including
interest was $85,447 and 78,280, respectively.
In April
2009, a shareholder loaned $47,000 to the Company. The loan is
unsecured, bears interest at 10% and matured last June 23, 2009, as such, in
default. The loan also included the issuance of a warrant to purchase
10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 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. The warrant was
valued at $1,248 and was reflected as a financing cost in the accompanying
statement of operations. The balance owing at June 30, 2009 including
interest was $47,876.
In April
2009, a shareholder loaned $25,000 to the Company. The loan is
unsecured, bears interest at 10%, per annum and is due on demand. The
balance owing at June 30, 2009 including interest was $25,418.
In June
2009 an officer and director of the Company loaned $3,600 which amount was
outstanding at June 30, 2009.
Accounts
Payable to related parties
As
of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had accounts payable to
related parties in the amount of $156,227, which was composed of
$109,776 in unpaid Directors Fees and $46,451 in unreimbursed expenses
incurred by Officers and Directors. As
of December 31, 2008, the Company had accounts payable to related parties
in the amount of $93,003, which was composed of $59,705 in unpaid Directors
Fees, $33,298 in unreimbursed expenses incurred by Officers and Directors.
18
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. 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. SS Sales is owned by Nathan Shelton,
who has served as one of the directors of the Company since February 12,
2007. There were no payments made to SS Sales for the six month
periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008.
4. Loans and other payables due to
Morale/Matthews
Leodis
Matthews, through his law firm, Matthews & Partners, (“Matthews”) serves as
outside legal counsel to the Company. Morale Orchards, LLC (“Morale”)
is owned by Jacqueline Alexander, the wife of Leodis
Matthews.
In 2006
and 2007, Morale purchased two convertible promissory notes totaling
$1,225,000. The notes were unsecured, convertible into 1,595,588
shares of common stock, due one year from the date issued, and had an implied
interest rate of 22.5%. Warrants to purchase 797,794 shares of common
stock were issued with the notes. As of January 31, 2008, the notes
were in default, and the total amount due for the notes was $1,362,212,
including penalties and interest. In addition to the two notes, the
Company borrowed $20,000 from Morale on October 30, 2007. At January
31, 2008, the Company was also indebted to Matthews $472,762 for past legal
fee.
Effective
January 31, 2008, the Company, Morale, and Matthews agreed to a settlement of
the Company’s loans due Morale and fees due Matthews. Morale
agreed to waive all accrued interest on the notes after January 31, 2008, and
Morale and Matthews agreed to accept 7,421,896 shares of common stock of the
Company as payment of the notes payable and fees.
On March
10, 2008, the Company issued 5,530,848 shares of the Company’s common stock
valued at $2,101,722 to Morale for the conversion of the notes (totaling
$1,362,212) and cancellation of $20,000 Note. Also on March 10,
2008, the Company issued 1,891,048 shares of the Company’s common stock valued
at $718,598 to Matthews in exchange for settlement of the legal fees due
Matthews of $472,762.
The fair
value of the shares of common stock issued was determined to be $0.38 per share,
based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 31, 2008,
for a total settlement of $2,820,320. As a result of the issuance of
shares of common stock, the Company incurred additional non-cash costs of
$927,903 that have been reflected as costs to settle outstanding debt in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2008.

Company has research and development facilities in Morgan Hill, California. The
Company has tested products incorporating our ZEFS, MK IV and ELEKTRA
technologies for multiple makes and models diesel engines, motorbikes, boats,
generators, lawnmowers and other small engines. The Company has
purchased test vehicles, test engines and testing equipment. The Company
incurred $262,060 and $322,362 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, on its research and development activities.
Temple
University License Agreements
The
Company has 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) and edible oil flow in pipelines. 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.
The
Company has entered into three License Agreements with
Temple University covering Temple University’s current patent
applications concerning certain electric field effects on gasoline, kerosene and
diesel fuel particle size distribution, and concerning electric field effects on
crude oil and edible oil viscosity. Initially, the License Agreements are
exclusive and the territory licensed to the Company is worldwide. Pursuant to
the License Agreements, the Company will pay to Temple University
(i) license fees in the aggregate amount of $300,000. A payment
of $50,000 was due on November 1, 2006; a payment of $100,000 was due on March
2, 2007; a payment of $75, 000 was due on February 2, 2008 and the final payment
was due on February 2, 2009. Annual maintenance fees of $25,000 for the
first license were due on November 1, 2007 and November 1,
2008. Annual maintenance payments of $125,000 for two of the licenses
were due 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 three 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.
The
Company has 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) and edible oil flow in pipelines. 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. Pursuant to the R&D
Agreement, the Company will make payments to Temple University in the
aggregate amount of $500,000
At
December 31, 2008, the Company was in default in the amount of $300,000 in
connection with its payment obligations under the License Agreements and
maintenance payments. On November 10, 2008, the Company received written
notice from Temple University of a material breach relating to required
payments under the License Agreements. The notice provides the
Company with 60 days’ notice to cure the material breach. The
Company’s failure to cure could result in a termination of the License
Agreements. If the termination occurs, the Company estimates this would have a
material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and
operations. Under the License Agreements the Company is subject to a
penalty of 1% per month of the amounts due and unpaid under the License
Agreements.
25
At
December 31, 2008, the Company was in default in the amount of $376,250 under
the R&D Agreement. On November 10, 2008, the Company received
written notice of default from Temple University. The notice provides the
Company with 60 days to cure the material breach. The Company’s
failure to cure the breach could result in the termination of the R&D
Agreement. If the termination occurs, the Company estimates this
would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and
operations.
On
January 9, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with
Temple University wherein Temple University granted to the Company an
extension of time to cure the above-referenced breaches until March 31,
2009. The Letter Agreement provides for payments of $100,000 on each
of January 31, 2009, February 28, 2009 and March 31, 2009. The Company made the
January 31, 2009 payment but did not make the payment due on February 28, 2009.
On March 26, 2009, the Company received a written extension for both the
February 28, 2009 payment and the March 31, 2009 payment until April 30,
2009. All additional amounts past due as of December 31, 2008 and
additional License and Maintenance Fees of $200,000 which became due the first
quarter of 2009 were to be re-negotiated on or before April, 2009,
however, this has now been extended to September 30, 2009. (See Note
10)
At June
30, 2009, the Company owed to Temple University a total of $400,000 for the
License Agreements and Maintenance Fees; $376,250 for thee R&D Agreement and
$64,500 in penalties for a total of $840,750. A penalty equal to 1% of the
amount due and unpaid on the first day of each calendar month will be added to
the outstanding amount due Temple University.
The
Company has provided for all past due amounts in the financial statements at
June, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Fees due Temple University as
of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $840,750 and $716,500, respectively,
and are included in accounts payable-Temple University in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements. During the six months
ended June, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded $224,250 and $316,750,
respectively, of fees and penalties due to
Temple University.
9. Commitments
and contingencies
Legal
matters
On
December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal
District Court, Southern District of New York, against the Company, 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 the Company’s 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 Company which was then controlled by Mr. Muller. On
March 22, 2002, the Company signed 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.
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 the Company’s 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’ 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 have owned or controlled, 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
prevented Mr. Muller or his nominees from engaging in any effort to
exercise control over the Company’s corporation and from serving as an officer
or director of the Company. In the course of the litigation, the
Company has obtained ownership control over all patent rights to the ZEFS
device.
26
On
January 4, 2007, the Court entered a final judgment against Jeffrey Muller which
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 the Company’s stock that he still owns and directed the Company to
cancel any issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s stock still owned by
Mr. Muller. Mr. Muller was also ordered to disgorge unlawful profits
in the amount of $7.5 million and to pay a civil penalty in the amount of
$100,000. Acting in accordance with the ruling and decision of the
Court, the Company has canceled (i) 8,047,403 shares of common stock that
had been 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. After an appeal filed by Mr.
Muller was dismissed the Judgment against him is considered final.
On
February 8, 2007, Federal Magistrate Judge Maas issued a post-judgment order, at
the Company’s request, which further concluded that all of the shares of the
Company’s stock held by Mr. Muller or any of his nominees directly or indirectly
owned or controlled were to be recaptured by the Company and were subject to
disgorgement and forfeiture. The ruling provided that all shares,
options and any other obligations allegedly owed by the Company to Mr. Muller
were to be disgorged in our favor and confirmed the earlier judgment holding
Mr. Muller liable for $7.5 million in actual damages, imposing a
$100,000 fine and barring Mr. 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
$11 million. Additionally, the Court clarified that the order
required the disgorgement of any shares of the Company’s stock that
Mr. Muller or any of his nominees directly or indirectly owned or
controlled. In furtherance of this order, the Company has taken
action to cancel over 3.6 million shares which had been issued to offshore
companies. The Order also confirmed the appropriateness of actions
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. On February 11, 2009, Judge Maas confirmed that
his previous decision was modified and Save the World Air’s Motion for Summary
Judgment was granted in favor of Save the World Air as set forth in his order of
February 8, 2007. A proposed Final Judgment in favor of Save the
World air is pending before the United States District Court, Southern District
of New York
Litigation
Involving Scottish Glen Golf Company
We were
involved in litigation with Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. (SGGC) doing
business as KZ Golf, Inc., the Company’s previous landlord on claims in the
aggregate amount of $104,413. The Company did not dispute the
fact that certain amounts of unpaid past rent are due but did dispute that it
owes the aggregate of $104,413 demanded by SGGC; more than half of which are
purported “late fees” which was assessed at the rate of $100 per
day. It was the Company’s position that the late fees are void and
unenforceable and that the Company is entitled to a set-off for office space
that reverted back to SGGC.
On April
30, 2008 the Company and SGGC settled their pending litigation relating to the
Company’s prior offices. The Company paid to SGGC $51,000 in full
settlement of SGGC’s claims. On May 28, 2008 the initial payment of
$34,000 was made and on July 9, 2008 the final payment of $17,000 was made and
the Complaint was dismissed, with prejudice. The Company
recorded $52,069 as other income and as a reduction of accounts
payable.
10. Subsequent
events
On April
29, 2009, the Company received from Temple University a written extension of the
January 9, 2009 Letter Agreement. The agreement provides an extension
of the $100,000 due to Temple on February 28, 2009 and $100,000 due March 30,
2009 to May 29, 2009. The Company expects that all payments regarding
past due amounts, with the exception of the prescribed payments, will be
renegotiated on or before May 29, 2009. On August 12, 2009 the
Company received an extension until September 30, 2009.
On
June 9, 2009, the Company began conducting a private offering (the “Summer 2009
Offering”) of up to $500,000 aggregate face amount of its convertible notes (the
“Summer 2009 Notes”) with interest compounded quarterly at the annual rate of
seven percent (7%) payable at maturity. As of June 30,
2009, 4 accredited investors had invested a total of $75,00000 aggregate face
amount of the Spring 2009 Notes for an aggregate purchase price of
$75,,000. The Summer 2009 Notes mature on the second anniversary of
the closing of this offering and will be convertible, at the option of the
noteholder, into up to 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a
conversion price of $0.25 per share.
Each of
the investors in the Summer 2009 Offering will receive, for no additional
consideration, a warrant (the “Summer 2009 Warrants”), entitling the holder to
purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 100% of the
number of shares of common stock into which the Summer 2009 Notes are
convertible (the “Warrant Shares”). Each Summer 2009 Warrant is
exercisable on a cash basis only at an initial price of $0.30 per share, and is
exercisable for a period of thirty six months. Up to 300,000 Warrant
Shares are initially issuable on exercise of the Spring 2009
Warrants.
27
Subsequent
to June 30, 2009, the Company has received from 2 accredited investors a total
of $50,000 which will be convertible, at the option of the
noteholders, into up to 125,000 shares of the common stock of the Company and
for no additional consideration a warrant will be issued entitling the holder to
purchase 125,000a of shares of the Company’s common stock. The
original closing date of June 30, 2009 has been extended to August 31,
2009.
In
August, 2009, an officer and director advanced to the Company $13,500, repayable
upon demand.

Overview
The
following discussion and analysis of our condensed consolidated financial
condition and condensed 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-Q and the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008.
We are a
green technology company that leverages a suite of patented, patent-pending and
licensed intellectual properties related to the treatment of fuels. Technologies
patented by, or licensed to, us 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.
28
Our 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 and MK IV technologies. We differentiate ECO ChargR and MAG
ChargR products based on their differing attributes and marketing focus. ECO
ChargR products are primarily designed to reduce harmful emissions and MAG
ChargR products are primarily designed to enhance performance and fuel economy.
Our ECO ChargR product is intended to reduce exhaust emissions in vehicle and
small utility motors. ECO ChargR will be marketed primarily to
original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) as well as to pilot and
government-mandated emissions programs. Our MAG ChargR product is
intended to increase power and improve mileage. MAG ChargR will be marketed
primarily to the specialty consumer accessories market for many types of
vehicles, including but not limited to cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, all
terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), snowmobiles, personal watercraft and small utility
motors. Because our ECO ChargR and MAG ChargR products are customized to
specific brands, models and engine sizes, these products ultimately will require
individually developed parts, which can be expensive and time-consuming to
produce. See “Our Technologies and Products” below.
Our first
revenues have come from initial sales in Asia for our ECO ChargR product in the
motorcycle industry. We plan on commencing sales of ECO ChargR to customers in
the United States in the motorcycle industry in third quarter of 2009. We also
plan on commencing initial sales of our MAG ChargR product in the United
States in the automobile and motorcycle industry in the third quarter of
2009. See “Recent Developments” and “Sales and Marketing”
below.
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. Although ELEKTRA has a similar effect on fuels as our ZEFS and
MK IV technologies, ELEKTRA incorporates a uniform electrical field
principle. Based on our early research and product development, we
believe that ELEKTRA carries certain advantages over our 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. Preliminary testing conducted in Europe by an
outside research and development facility indicates that ELEKTRA causes a
significant change in some of the physical characteristics of the fuel,
resulting in better atomization of the fuel and improved
combustion.
We have
also entered into a research and development agreement with Temple University to
conduct further research on the ELEKTRA technology and magnetic technologies in
general. Together with Temple University, we have developed prototype
products using the ELEKTRA technology and we are continuing testing, and
research and development. We are in the early stages of developing ELEKTRA
products that, based on the previously mentioned preliminary testing, is
intended to improve fuel economy and change fuel viscosity, and may improve
performance and reduce emissions, depending upon the specific application. We
are also working with Temple and several domestic and international corporations
investigating applications of this technology to the transportation industry,
oil refineries and pipelines, and OEMs. See “Our Technologies and Products”
below.
We
operate in a highly competitive industry. Many of our activities may
be subject to governmental regulation. We have taken aggressive steps
to protect our intellectual property.
There are
significant risks associated with our business, our company and our
stock.
We are a
development stage company that generated its first initial revenues in the
fourth quarter of 2006. 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 2008 and the first six months of
2009 and will need to raise substantial additional capital in the balance of
2009, and possibly beyond, to fund our sales and marketing efforts, continuing
research and development, and certain other expenses, until our revenue base
grows sufficiently.
Our
company was incorporated on February 18, 1998, as a Nevada corporation,
under the name Mandalay Capital Corporation. We changed our name to Save the
World Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999, following the acquisition of
marketing and manufacturing rights of the ZEFS technologies. Our mailing address
is 235 Tennant Avenue, Morgan Hill, California 95037. Our telephone number is
(408)-778-0101. Our corporate website is www.stwa.com. Information
contained on the website is not deemed part of this Annual Report.

common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol
“ZERO.OB”.
Results
of Operations
We did
not generate any revenue for the three-month period and six month period ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Operating
expenses were $594,604 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009,
compared to $519,860 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, an
increase of $74,744. This increase is attributable to increases in cash expenses
of $51,564 and non-cash expenses of $23,180. Specifically, the cash expense
increase is attributable to increases in consulting and professional fees
($25,825), salaries and benefits ($16,861) and miscellaneous office expenses
($14,135), offset by decreases in travel expenses ($4,523) and corporate
expenses ($734). The increase in non-cash expenses is primarily
attributable to increases in value of stocks issued for services ($22,800) and
valuation of warrants and options given as compensation ($1,179), offset by a
decrease in depreciation ($799).
29
Operating
expenses were $1,435,422 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009,
compared to $1,280,002 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, an
increase of $155,420. This increase is attributable to an increase in cash
expenses of $256,933, offset by a decrease in non-cash expenses of $101,513. The
increase in cash expenses is attributable to increases in consulting and
professional fees ($164,460), salaries and benefits ($62,900) and office and
other expenses ($31,124), offset by a decrease in travel and corporate expense
($1,551). The non-cash decrease is attributable to a decrease in common stock
issued for services ($99,072), depreciation ($2,671) and bad debt ($1,380),
offset by an increase in valuation of options and warrants given to employees
and consultant ($1,610).
Research
and development expenses were $15,220 for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2009, compared to $62,692 for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2008, a decrease of $47,472. This decrease is mainly
attributable to a decrease in contract fees ($47,750) offset by and increase in
product testing, research and supplies ($278).
Research
and development expenses were $262,060 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2009, compared to $322,362 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2008, a decrease of $60,302. This decrease is attributable to a
decrease in contract fees (92,500), offset by and increase in product testing,
research and supplies ($32,198).
Other
expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 were $369,720,
compared to $109,475 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, an
increase of $260,245. This increase is attributable to an increase in non-cash
interest expense ($206,950), cash interest expense ($1,215), and decrease in
other income ($52,080).
Other
expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 were $834,280,
compared to $1,373,510 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, a
decrease of $539,230. This decrease is attributable to decreases in
non-cash interest expense ($582,127), loss on sale of equipment ($9,683) and
cash interest expense ($55), offset by decrease in other income
($52,635).
We had a
net loss of $979,544, or $0.02 per share, for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $692,027, or $0.02 per share, for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2008. We had a net loss of
$2,531,762, or $0.04 per share, for the six-month period ended June 30,
2009, compared to a net loss of $2,975,874, or $0.06 per share, for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008. We expect to incur additional net
loss in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, 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
Since its
inception, the Company has been primarily engaged in organizational and
pre-operating activities. The Company has generated insignificant revenues and
has incurred accumulated losses of $45,274,826 from February 18, 1998
(Inception) through June 30, 2009. As reflected in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,531,762 and
a negative cash flow from operations of $853,032 for the six months ended June
30, 2009, and had a working capital deficiency of $3,973,639 and a stockholders'
deficiency of $3,847,426 at June 30, 2009. The Company is currently
unable to meet its cash obligations and is in default of certain of its
convertible note agreements and its obligations under its license agreements
with Temple University (see Note 8). As a result, the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company's
2008 consolidated financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Our
operations to date have been funded through issuances of our common stock,
convertible notes and preferred stock whereby we raised an aggregate $19,149,903
from February 18, 1998 (inception) through June 30, 2009. Based on our current
operating plan, we believe that we do not have sufficient cash and cash
equivalents to implement our operating plan. We will need to obtain additional
financing in addition to the funds already raised through the sale of equity
securities to fund our cash needs and continue our operations. Additional
financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing,
arrangements with stockholders or other sources to fund operations, may not be
available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to
maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to raise additional
capital. If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership
percentage of our existing stockholders would be reduced. New investors may
demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of
our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability
of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could
impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to
satisfy either medium or long-term capital requirements, our operations and
liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cut
back our operations.
Accelerating
our business plan is predicated on closure of our bridge financing. We
have suffered delays associated with a new relationship that committed to do our
bridge financing all the way back to the end of March 2009. STWA endured a
due diligence process which was then underwritten and approved for market July,
1st 2009. Regardless
of the performance associated with our primary financiers management has been
able to cultivate $175,000 of the bridge on its own and will continue to do so
as a secondary measure of financing. Management has also supplemented the
bridge with other possible sources of funding which could precipitate at any
moment. During the past several months, executives have contributed
approximately $30,000 of their own unsecured dollars in support of the
company.

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 condensed 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:
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
We have
adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition” and therefore
recognize 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.
|
We
contract with manufactures of fixed magnetic field products and sell them to
various original equipment manufacturers in the motor vehicle and small utility
motor markets. We negotiate 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, we recognize the revenue associated with the
sale of the products to the customer.
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.

Long-lived
assets
We
account 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. We periodically review the carrying
values of long-lived assets to determine whether or not impairment to such value
has occurred. No impairments were recorded for the six months ended June 30,
2009. We recorded an impairment of approximately $505,000 during the period from
inception (February 18, 1998) through June 30, 2009.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in
capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. We adopted
SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and are using the modified prospective
method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective
date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments
granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No.
123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No.
123R that remain unvested on the effective date. We account for stock option and
warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with 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” and
EITF No. 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity
Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock
compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the
date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which
the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is
complete.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2007, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 141R,
“Business Combinations (revised 2007)” (SFAS 141R”) was issued. SFAS
141R replaces SFAS 141 “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141R requires
the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree at fair value. SFAS 141R also requires transactions costs related to
the business combination to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141R applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The effective date, as well as the adoption date
for the Company was January 1, 2009. Although SFAS 141R may impact
our reporting in future financial periods, we have determined that the standard
did not have any impact on our historical consolidated financial statements at
the time of adoption.
In April
2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of
the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”), which amends the factors
that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to
determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
142. This pronouncement requires enhanced disclosures concerning a
company’s treatment of costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a
recognized intangible asset. FST 142-3 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
effective date, as well as the adoption date for the Company was January 1,
2009. Although FSP 142-3 may impact our reporting in future financial
periods, we have determined that the standard did not have any impact on our
historical consolidated financial statements at the time of
adoption.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by
management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future
consolidated financial statements.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
The
Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide the
information required by this.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
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 Report on Form 10-Q.
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(b) 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.

Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Internal
control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transaction and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting cannot
provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting
objectives.
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as required in Rule 13a-15(b). 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 an Interim Chief Financial
Officer and a full-time Controller. We have retained a consulting
firm and are conducting an evaluation to design and implement adequate systems
of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls. We expect to complete
this review during 2009 to comply with the requirements of the
SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve
our internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting and
management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide
only Management’s report in this annual report.
Other
than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART
II
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
On
December 19, 2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal
District Court, Southern District of New York, against the Company, 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 the Company’s 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 Company which was then controlled by Mr. Muller. On
March 22, 2002, the Company signed a Consent to Final Judgment of Permanent
Injunction and Other Relief in settlement of this action as against the
corporation only, which the Court approved on July 2, 2002. Under this
settlement, the Company was not required to admit fault and did not pay any
fines or restitution.
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 the Company’s 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’ 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 have owned or controlled, 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
prevented Mr. Muller or his nominees from engaging in any effort to
exercise control over the Company’s corporation and from serving as an officer
or director of the Company.
In the
course of the litigation, the Company has obtained ownership control over all
patent rights to the ZEFS device.
On
January 4, 2007, the Court entered a final judgment against Jeffrey Muller which
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 the Company’s stock that he still owns and directed the Company to
cancel any issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s stock still owned by
Mr. Muller. Mr. Muller was also ordered to disgorge unlawful profits
in the amount of $7.5 million and to pay a civil penalty in the amount of
$100,000. Acting in accordance with the ruling and decision of the
Court, the Company has canceled (i) 8,047,403 shares of common stock that
had been 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. After an appeal filed by Mr.
Muller was dismissed the Judgment against him is considered final.
On
February 8, 2007, Federal Magistrate Judge Maas issued a post-judgment order, at
the Company’s request, which further concluded that all of the shares of the
Company’s stock held by Mr. Muller or any of his nominees directly or indirectly
owned or controlled were to be recaptured by the Company and were subject to
disgorgement and forfeiture. The ruling provided that all shares,
options and any other obligations allegedly owed by the Company to Mr. Muller
were to be disgorged in our favor and confirmed the earlier judgment holding
Mr. Muller liable for $7.5 million in actual damages, imposing a
$100,000 fine and barring Mr. 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
$11 million. Additionally, the Court clarified that the order
required the disgorgement of any shares of the Company’s stock that
Mr. Muller or any of his nominees directly or indirectly owned or
controlled. In furtherance of this order, the Company has taken
action to cancel over 3.6 million shares which had been issued to offshore
companies. The Order also confirmed the appropriateness of actions
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. On February 11, 2009, Judge Maas confirmed that
his previous decision was modified and Save the World Air’s Motion for Summary
Judgment was granted in favor of Save the World Air as set forth in his order of
February 8, 2007. A proposed Final Judgment in favor of Save the
World air is pending before the United States District Court, Southern District
of New York
Litigation
Involving Scottish Glen Golf Company
We were
involved in litigation with Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. (SGGC) doing
business as KZ Golf, Inc., our previous landlord on claims in the aggregate
amount of $104,413. We did not dispute the fact that certain
amounts of unpaid past rent are due but did dispute that we owe the aggregate of
$104,413 demanded by SGGC; more than half of which are purported “late fees”
which was assessed at the rate of $100 per day. It was the our
position that the late fees are void and unenforceable and that the we are
entitled to a set-off for office space that reverted back to SGGC.
39
On April
30, 2008 we and SGGC settled our pending litigation relating to our prior
offices. We paid to SGGC $51,000 in full settlement of SGGC’s
claims. On May 28, 2008 the initial payment of $34,000 was made and
on July 9, 2008 the final payment of $17,000 was made and the Complaint was
dismissed, with prejudice. We recorded $52,069 as other income
and as a reduction of accounts payable.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
There
have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Form
10-K we filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009.
Item 2. Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Morale
OrchardsTransaction
On
December 5, 2006, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note
Purchase Agreement”) with Morale Orchards, LLC (“Morale”). The Note Purchase
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
our Common Stock at prices ranging from $0.70 to $0.85 per share. The aggregate
purchase price for the Morale Notes and Morale Warrants is $1,000,000.
Therefore, while the stated interest on the Morale Notes is 0%, the actual
interest rate is 22.5% because the Morale Notes are being purchased at a
discount from their face amount.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, Morale purchased one Morale Note in
the principal amount of $612,500 on December 5, 2006, for which it paid
$500,000 and purchased the other Morale Note in the principal amount of $612,500
on January 10, 2007, for which it paid $500,000. The December 5,
2006 Note is convertible into 720,588 shares of our common stock and 360,294
Warrants to purchase our common stock were issued. The January 10,
2007 Note is convertible into 875,000 shares of our common stock and 437,500
Warrants to purchase our common stock were issued. (See “Details of
Recent Financing Transactions”).

between the Company, Morale Orchards, LLP and Matthews &
Partners. (See “Details of Recent Financing
