ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of a post-effective amendment to a registration statement that we have
filed with the SEC. Under this registration process, the selling shareholders referred to in this
prospectus may offer and sell from time to time up to 11,500,000 currently outstanding shares of
our common stock, 6,464,563 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants
outstanding at an weighted average exercise price of $0.39 per share and held by the selling
shareholders as of the date of this prospectus and 6,476,470 shares of our common stock issuable
upon the exercise of options and warrants issued to employees, consultants, vendors and
noteholders.
This prospectus does not cover the issuance of any shares of common stock by us, and we will not
receive any of the proceeds from any sale of shares by the selling shareholders. We have agreed to
pay all expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares of common stock covered
by this prospectus.
Information about the selling shareholders may change over time. Any changed information given to
us by the selling shareholders will be set forth in a prospectus supplement if and when necessary.
Further, in some cases, the selling shareholders will also be required to provide a prospectus
supplement containing specific information about the terms on which they are offering and selling
our common stock. If a prospectus supplement is provided and the description of the offering in the
prospectus supplement varies from the information in this prospectus, you should rely on the
information in the prospectus supplement.
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This section highlights selected information only and may not contain all of the information that
may be important to you. Please read this entire prospectus before making your investment
decision. This summary, including the summary financial information, is qualified in its entirety
by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Throughout this
prospectus, when we refer to Power Efficiency or when we speak of ourselves generally, we are
referring to Power Efficiency Corporation unless the context indicates otherwise or as otherwise
noted.
THE OFFERING
In June, July and August of 2005, we conducted a private offering of our Common Stock and Placement
Warrants, defined below, for the issuance of our Common Stock (the Placement Securities). We
offered up to 50 Units, at $50,000 each, to individuals or entities who qualified as accredited
investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each Unit
consisted of (a) a number of shares of Common Stock which is determined by dividing
$50,000 by $0.20; and (b) a warrant (each a Placement Warrant and, collectively, the Placement
Warrants) to purchase prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary following the closing a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock included within each
Unit, with an exercise price of $0.40. The Placement closed on August 31, 2005 and resulted in
gross proceeds of $2,900,000. As part of this Registration Statement, and Placement Securities
stemming from the Placement, we are registering 11,500,000 of shares of our Common Stock and
7,902,876 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Placement Warrants.

THE COMPANY
Our Business
Power Efficiency produces products that reduce energy costs in specific commercial applications,
utilizing patented improvements upon motor controller technologies developed by National
Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) as well as technologies based solely on the Companys
inventions. Our products are solid-state AC motor controllers that reduce the amount of power
consumed by alternating current induction motors operating at constant speeds and under variable
loads. Our products were previously marketed as the Performance Controller and the Power Genius,
but have recently been re-branded as the EcoPro. The EcoPro reduces energy consumption on
electrical equipment by electronically sensing and controlling the amount of energy the motor
consumes on certain applications. The energy savings can range up to 35%, while the life of the
motor is extended because of both the reduced motor operating temperatures and the reduced
mechanical stress provided by its soft start technology. The efficiency of the EcoPro has been
tested by Nevada Power Company, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and Medsker Electric,
Inc., independent third parties, with positive results.
There are over one billion AC motors in operation in the U.S. alone. Customers for the EcoPro
will typically be in a high electricity cost environment, may have local utility or governmental
incentives to save energy, has energy usage as a significant operating cost, uses constant speed
induction motors that are lightly or cyclically loaded, and has motors that run continuously or
have frequent on/off cycles. This customer base represents a market which includes target sectors
such as elevators, escalators, granulators, oil pump jacks, conveyors and other industrial
applications.
We market our products directly under the brand name EcoPro, and through other companies under
names such as Power Commander® and EcoStart. Customers include large elevator and escalator
manufacturers, such as Otis Elevator Co. (a subsidiary of United Technologies, Inc.) and KONE Inc.
We are now focused on creating distribution channels to take advantage of opportunities given the
current conditions in the energy market and how our product meets these needs. Management believes
this multi-channel distribution strategy, if successful, will allow Power Efficiency to achieve
sustainable revenue growth.
Highlights
Demonstrated Energy Savings Over 1,000 units have been installed at facilities throughout the
U.S. The products have demonstrated the ability to reduce the energy consumption of AC induction
motors, by up to 35% in appropriate applications.
Patented Technology - Our products incorporate technology developed and patented by NASA. Our own
patent encompasses a number of improvements on the NASA technology made by our engineers. We
recently filed three provisional patents on additional technological advancements.
Extensive Engineering - Our products incorporate trade secret and engineering know-how, which we
believe enables them to operate effectively over a broad range of conditions.
Large Potential Market - The United States consumes over $200 billion of electricity annually. A
study for the United States Department of Energy estimates that motor driven systems consume 23% of
all electricity in the U.S. and 64% of all the electricity used in the manufacturing sector. Based
on our own in-house testing, our product can save up to 35% of the energy consumed by electric AC
induction motors in appropriate applications. These applications include most motors that work at
constant speed but are variably loaded, such as the AC motors found on many elevators, escalators,
granulators, saw mills, stamping presses, and other manufacturing equipment.
New Products - We have developed and are in the process of certifying digital versions of our 30
and 80 amp products. We have also developed a prototype unit for small motors such as those found
in residential and light commercial equipment and appliances.
2
Limited Competition - We are not aware of any products on the market today that have been certified
by CE and CSA, are UL compliant, and offer the same energy-saving and soft start characteristics as
our products.
International Distribution - International markets, such as those in Europe and Asia, often have
higher prices for electricity than in the U.S. Therefore, we believe international markets provide
a significant opportunity in the future.
A detailed description of our business strategy is provided under the heading Business below.
Our address is 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 460, Las Vegas, NV 89169, and our telephone number
is 702-697-0377.
Selling Stockholders
The shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus that are being offered by the selling
stockholders consist of up to 24,441,033 shares issued or to be issued (the Securities) to the
selling stockholders within 60 days of the date hereof. The full name, address and control persons
of the selling stockholders are set forth beginning on page 38 of this prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Companys common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider the risks below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before
you decide to purchase the shares offered hereby. If any of the following risks occur, our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed, the trading price of our
common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and
uncertainties described below are intended to be the material risks that are specific to us and to
our industry. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict
all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause future actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any historical or forward-looking statements.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Unless We Achieve Profitability and Related Positive Cash Flow, We May Not Be Able To Continue
Operations, And Our Auditors Have Questioned Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations, experienced approximately a $2,760,000
deficiency of cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and lack sufficient
liquidity to continue our operations without external financing. For the years ended December 31,
2006 and December 31, 2005, we had net losses of $5,020,775 and $2,570,563, respectively. In our
Auditors Report dated March 31, 2007 on our December 31, 2006 financial statements included in
this report, our auditors have stated that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount of liabilities
that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and related
positive cash flow and satisfying our immediate cash needs by external financing until we are
profitable. Our plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new
customers and increasing sales to existing customers. We are seeking to raise additional capital
through equity issuance,
debt financing and other types of financing, but we cannot guarantee that sufficient capital will
be raised. In that regard, we have granted the holders of our senior secured notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $2,000,000 a first priority security interest in substantially all our assets,
which may hinder our ability to raise additional funds.
3
We Have A Limited Operating History, Have Experienced Recurring Losses And Have Limited Revenue.
To date, and due principally to a lack of working capital, our operations have been limited in
scale. Although we have an arrangement with an outsourced production facility to manufacture our
products, have established relationships with suppliers, and have received contracts for our
products, we may experience difficulties in production scale-up, product distribution, and
obtaining and maintaining working capital until such time as our operations have been scaled-up to
normal commercial levels. We have not had a profitable quarter in the past three years and we
cannot guarantee we will ever operate profitably. In addition, we have limited revenue. For the
year ended December 31, 2006, our total revenues were $188,811, and for the year ended December 31,
2005, our total revenues were $276,405.
Our Present Cash Flow Is Not Adequate To Pay Accrued Liabilities.
We had accrued payables, salaries and expenses totaling approximately $585,000 as of December 31,
2006. Approximately $210,000 of these accrued liabilities represents disputed claims, which we
expect to partially pay, settle for equity, or dispute entirely. The remainder of the accrued
payables, salaries and expenses are primarily current trade payables and accruals. However, these
figures are only estimates and because we may not be able to negotiate successfully with creditors,
creditor claims may cause a restriction in the amount of funds available for our operations.
Our Principal Obligations On Notes Payable Total $2,011,111 and This Indebtedness Is Subject To
Acceleration.
In addition to the accrued payables, salaries and expenses described immediately above, as of
December 31, 2006, we had $2,011,111 in aggregate principal amount of notes payable outstanding.
The specific components of this indebtedness are as follows:
We owe $2,000,000 in senior secured notes, before discount. They mature in November 2008, bear
interest at 15%, and are secured by a first lien on substantially all our assets. Interest
payments are due and payable quarterly. The entire balance of these notes will become due and
payable if we cannot pay any past due amount within 7 days of a written notice that payment is in
default. As of the date of this report, we do not have any past due payments on these senior
secured notes.
As of December 31, 2006, we owe our former landlord in Livonia, Michigan $11,111, before discount,
in settlement of our lease dispute litigation. As of the date of this report, we do not have any
past due payments on this settlement.
We Do Not Have A Bank Line Of Credit And Substantially All Our Assets Are Pledged.
At the present time, we do not have a bank line of credit, which further restricts our financial
flexibility and it is unlikely we will be able to obtain a line of credit in the foreseeable
future. As noted above, substantially all our assets are subject to existing liens.
We Will Require Additional Funds To Meet Our Cash Operating Expenses And Achieve Our Current
Business Strategy.
We continue to have limited working capital and will be dependent upon additional financing to meet
capital needs and repay outstanding debt. We cannot guarantee additional financing will be
available on
4
acceptable terms, if at all. We also need additional financing to raise the capital
required to fully implement our business plan. Our current fixed operating expense level is
approximately $250,000 to $300,000 per month, not considering non-cash expenses and payments to
certain creditors, including accrued salaries and expenses, and may increase in the near future. We
will need to issue additional debt or equity to raise required funds, and as a result existing
equity owners would be diluted.
When our operations require additional financing, if we are unable to obtain it on reasonable
terms, we would be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations, any of which
could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in us.
Our Management Group Owns Or Controls A Significant Number Of The Outstanding Shares Of Our Common
Stock And Will Continue To Have Significant Ownership Of Our Voting Securities For The Foreseeable
Future.
As of April 27, 2007, management owns approximately 21% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock
and voting equivalents; and approximately 19% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and voting
equivalents, if all warrants issued in the offering were exercised. As a result, these persons
will have the ability, acting as a group, to effectively control our affairs and business,
including the election of directors and subject to certain limitations, approval or preclusion of
fundamental corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership of our Common Stock may:
|
|
|
delay or prevent a change in the control; |
|
|
|
|
impede a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other transaction involving the
Company; or |
|
|
|
|
discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of the Company. |
Certain Of Our Management Team Have Relationships Which May Potentially Result In Conflicts Of
Interests.
Summit Energy Ventures, LLC (Summit) owns nineteen percent (19%) of our common stock and voting
equivalents, which is included in the above number. Summit is controlled by Steven Strasser, our
Chairman and CEO, and he has the right to vote all shares owned by Summit. The remaining equity in
Summit is owned by BJ Lackland, our CFO. Accordingly, our executive officers may have a conflict
of interest in determining whether to pursue a particular course of action that would be in the
best interests of the shareholders or the Company, but may not be in the best interests of the
other. These relationships are discussed in more detail under Certain Relationships And Related
Party Transactions herein.
Our License From NASA Has Expired.
The basic technology upon which our products are based is derived from a patent license agreement
by and between us and NASA, which expired on December 16, 2002. The license expired upon expiration
of NASAs underlying patents, at which time anyone, including us, became free to use the underlying
NASA technology. However, we have also made certain improvements to the basic technology covered by
the NASA license and we have obtained a patent on this improved technology that runs through 2017.
However, we cannot guarantee that others will not seek to improve the basic technology in a similar
manner.
Our Business Depends Upon The Maintenance Of Our Proprietary Technology, And We Rely, In Part, On
Contractual Provisions To Protect Our Trade Secrets And Proprietary Knowledge.
We depend upon our proprietary technology, relying principally upon trade secret and patent law to
protect this technology. We also regularly enter into confidentiality agreements with key
employees, customers, potential customers, and vendors which limits access to and distribution of
trade secrets and other proprietary information. However, these measures may not be adequate to
prevent misappropriation of our technology. Additionally, our competitors may independently
develop technologies substantially
5
equivalent or superior to our technology. In addition, the laws
of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of
the United States. We also are subject to the risk of adverse claims and litigation alleging
infringement of intellectual property rights of others.
Confidentiality agreements to which we are party may be breached, and we may not have adequate
remedies for any breach. Our trade secrets may also be known without breach of such agreements or
may be independently developed by competitors. Our inability to maintain the proprietary nature of
our technology and processes could allow our competitors to limit or eliminate any competitive
advantages we may have.
We Are Potentially Dependent On Third-Party Suppliers.
Although we believe most of the key components required for the production of our products are
currently available in sufficient production quantities from multiple sources, they may not remain
so readily available. It is possible that other components required in the future may necessitate
custom fabrication in accordance with specifications developed or to be developed by us. Also, in
the event that we, or our contract manufacturer, as applicable, are unable to develop or acquire
components in a timely fashion, our ability to achieve production yields, revenues and net income
can be expected to be adversely affected. Additionally, we are solely dependent on Cole
Industries, Inc. (Cole) as our exclusive manufacturer. While we believe we would be successful
in finding alternative manufacturers should this manufacturer not be available to manufacture our
product, it could take substantial time and effort to locate such alternatives and, depending on
the timing of the loss of Cole, could result in disruption in delivery schedules and harm to our
clients and our reputation and future prospects.
We Are Developing And Commercializing New Energy Saving Technologies And Products Which Will
Involve Uncertainty And Risks Related To Product Development And Market Acceptance.
Our success is dependent, to a large degree, upon our ability to fully develop and commercialize
our technology and gain industry acceptance of our products based upon our technology and its
perceived competitive advantages. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the
risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a
new business in a highly competitive industry, characterized by frequent new product introductions.
We anticipate that we will incur substantial expense in connection with the development and testing
of our proposed products and expect these expenses to result in continuing and significant losses
until such time, if ever, that we are able to achieve adequate levels of sales or license revenues.
We Have Expanded Our Marketing Strategy.
Our products have been distributed primarily through original equipment manufactures (OEMs). We
have recently begun pursuing an expanded distribution strategy designed to reduce our reliance on
OEMs. Pursuant to this strategy, we are increasing our direct sales and sales through independent
representatives into new markets. Our future growth and profitability will depend upon the
successful development of business relationships with additional OEMs, manufacturing
representatives and distributors and their ability to penetrate the market with our products.
We Currently Depend On A Small Number Of Customers And Expect To Continue To Do So.
We currently do business with approximately 20 customers. Of this number, four customers accounted
for approximately 75% of our gross revenues in 2006. We are, and may continue to be, dependent
upon a small number of customers. Accordingly, the loss of one or more of these customers is likely
to have a material adverse effect on our business.
6
Most Of Our Current And Potential Competitors Have Greater Name Recognition, Financial, Technical
And Marketing Resources, And More Extensive Customer Bases And Industry Relationships Than We Do,
All Of Which Could Be Leveraged To Gain Market Share To Our Detriment, Particularly In An
Environment Of Rapid Technological Change.
Although we believe we have limited competition for our specific technology, we compete against a
number of companies for dollars in the electric motor energy savings market, many of which have
longer operating histories, established markets and far greater financial, advertising, research
and development, manufacturing, marketing, personnel and other resources than we currently have or
may reasonably expect to have in the foreseeable future. This competition may have an adverse
effect on our ability to expand our operations or operate profitably. The motor control industry is
also highly competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. Our future performance
will depend in large part upon our ability to become and remain competitive and to develop,
manufacture and market acceptable products in these markets. Competitive pressures may necessitate
price reductions, which can adversely affect revenues and profits. If we are not competitive in our
ongoing research and development efforts, our products may become obsolete, or be priced above
competitive levels. We cannot guarantee that competitors will not introduce comparable or
technologically superior products, which are priced more favorably than our products.
Changes In Retail Energy Prices Could Affect Our Business.
We have found that a customers decision to purchase the EcoPro (or similar product) is primarily
driven by the payback on the investment resulting from the increased energy savings. Although
management believes that current retail energy prices support an attractive return on investment
for our products, the future retail price of electrical energy may not remain at such levels, and
price fluctuations reducing energy expense could adversely affect product demand.
Loss Of Key Personnel Could Have Significant Adverse Consequences.
We currently depend on the services of Steve Strasser, and BJ Lackland, Chief Executive Officer,
and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. The loss of the services of either of these persons
could have an adverse effect on our business. As discussed under Management, we have entered into
long-term employment contracts with Messrs. Strasser and Lackland, but such contracts do not
guarantee they will remain with us.
We Do Not Have Key Man Life Insurance.
We presently do not have any key man life insurance policies. As soon as practicable following the
commencement of profitable operations (which may never occur), we intend to purchase key man life
insurance on the life of our principal executive officer, Steven Strasser. Upon purchase of such
insurance, we intend to pay the premiums and be the sole beneficiary. The lack of such insurance
may have a material adverse effect upon our business.
Delaware Law Limits The Liability Of Our Directors.
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the Companys directors are not liable to us or our
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability in connection
with a breach of the duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law for dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under
Delaware law or any transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit.
We Have Elected Not To Adopt Various Voluntary Corporate Governance Measures, And As A Result
Stockholders May Have Limited Protections Against Interested Director Transactions, Conflicts Of
Interest And Similar Matters.
Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption
of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of corporate management
and the securities markets. Because our securities are not yet listed on a national securities
exchange or
7
NASDAQ, we are not required to adopt these corporate governance measures and have not
done so voluntarily in order to avoid incurring the additional costs associated with such measures.
However, to the extent we seek to have our common stock listed on a national securities exchange or
NASDAQ, such legislation will require us to make changes to our current corporate governance
practices. Those changes may be costly and time-consuming. Furthermore, the absence of the
governance measures referred to above with respect to our Company may leave our stockholders with
more limited protection in connection with interested director transactions, conflicts of interest
and similar matters.
Potential Product Liability Claims May Not Be Fully Covered By Insurance.
We may be subject to potential product liability claims that could, in the absence of sufficient
insurance coverage, have a material adverse impact on us. Presently, we have general liability
coverage that includes product liability up to $2,000,000. Any large product liability suits
occurring early in our growth may significantly and adversely affect our ability to expand the
market for our products.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Trading In Our Common Stock Over The Last 12 Months Has Been Limited, So Investors May Not Be Able
To Sell As Many Of Their Shares As They Want At Prevailing Prices.
Shares of our common stock are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Approximately 58,000 shares were
traded on an average daily trading basis for the 12 months ended December 31, 2006. If limited
trading in our common stock continues, it may be difficult for shareholders, to sell their shares.
Also, the sale of a large block of our common stock could depress the market price to a greater
degree than a company that typically has a higher volume of trading of its securities.
The Limited Public Trading Market May Cause Volatility In The Companys Stock Price.
Our common stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol
PEFF. The quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board does not assure that a
meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years such market
has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market
prices of many smaller companies like us. Our common stock is thus subject to this volatility.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur,
could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.
An Active And Visible Trading Market For Our Common Stock May Not Develop.
We cannot predict whether an active market for our common stock will develop in the future. In the
absence of an active trading market:
|
|
|
Investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market
quotations; |
|
|
|
|
Market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and |
|
|
|
|
A lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on
the market price for our common stock. |
The OTC Bulletin Board is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less
liquidity than NASDAQ, and quotes for stocks included on the OTC Bulletin Board are not listed in
the financial sections of newspapers, as are those for the NASDAQ Stock Market. The trading price
of the common stock is expected to be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations
in quarterly operating results, changes in analysts earnings estimates, announcements of
innovations by the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the industry in which we
operate and other factors. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions,
may have a material or adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
8
Penny Stock Regulations May Impose Certain Restrictions On Marketability On The Companys
Securities.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a penny stock to be any equity security
that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per
share, subject to certain exceptions. As a result, our common stock is subject to rules that impose
additional requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors (generally those with net worth in excess of
$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchasers written consent
to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny
stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk
disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the
commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations
for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must
disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly
statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account
and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the penny stock rules may
restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Companys securities and may affect the ability
of investors to sell the Companys securities in the secondary market and the price at which such
purchasers can sell any such securities.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to the Commission, the market for penny stocks has
suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
|
|
|
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that
are often related to the promoter or issuer; |
|
|
|
|
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales
and false and misleading press releases; |
|
|
|
|
Boiler room practices involving high pressure sales tactics and
unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; |
|
|
|
|
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling
broker-dealers; and |
|
|
|
|
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the
inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses. |
The Companys management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock
market.
We May Never Pay Cash Dividends On Our Common Stock.
We have not paid or declared any dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying or
declaring any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
Sales Of Common Stock Under Rule 144 May Adversely Affect The Market Price Of Our Common Stock.
Possible Resales under Rule 144. Of the 38,516,676 shares of the Companys common stock outstanding
on the date of this report, 14,292,962 shares are freely trading in the market place (the Free
Trading Shares). The Free Trading Shares are comprised mostly of shares (1) originally issued in
private offerings of common stock from June through August 2005, that were later registered in the
Companys Registration Statement (the Registration Statement) effective December 19, 2005, and
(2) shares originally issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
9
The remaining 24,223,714 shares of our common stock outstanding are restricted securities as
defined in Rule 144 and under certain circumstances may be resold without registration pursuant to
Rule 144. These shares include the 7,970,569 shares held by Summit and Steven Strasser in the
aggregate, 3,333,334 shares held by a private investor, and the 3,249,049 shares of common stock
held by Commerce Energy Group (Commerce).
In addition, the Company had approximately 23,996,693 common stock purchase warrants outstanding
and approximately 13,284,896 common stock options outstanding as of the date of this report,
including the warrants issued in connection with the March 2007 offering and sale of the senior
secured notes. The shares issuable on exercise of the options and warrants may, under certain
circumstances, be available for public sale in the open market under the Registration Statement or
pursuant to Rule 144, subject to certain limitations.
In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a
one-year holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a
number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of
common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior
to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without
any limitation, by a person who is not an Affiliate, as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1), of
the Company and who has satisfied a two-year holding period. Any substantial sale of the common
stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Companys shares.
Exercise Of Outstanding Options And Warrants Will Dilute Ownership Of Outstanding Shares.
We have reserved 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of stock options
or similar awards which may be granted pursuant to the 2000 Plan, of which options to purchase an
aggregate of 13,284,896 shares are outstanding. The outstanding options under the 2000 Plan have a
weighted average exercise price of $0.35. As of the date of this report, we have issued warrants
exercisable for 23,996,693 shares of common stock to financial consultants, investors, former
employees and other business partners, having a weighted average exercise price of $0.41 and
expiring on various dates from June 2007 to November 2011. Exercise of these options and warrants
in the future will reduce the percentage of common stock held by the public stockholders.
Furthermore, the terms on which we could obtain additional capital during the life of the options
and warrants may be adversely affected, and it should be expected that the holders of the options
and warrants would exercise them at a time when we would be able to obtain equity capital on terms
more favorable than those provided for by such options and warrants.
Our Issuance Of Blank Check Preferred Stock Could Adversely Affect Our Common Stockholders.
The Companys Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of blank check preferred stock
with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the board
of directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to
issue preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could
adversely affect the relative voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In
the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or
preventing a change in control of the Company, which could have the effect of discouraging bids for
the Company and thereby prevent stockholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares.
Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our preferred stock, there can be no
assurance that we will not do so in the future.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, including the sections entitled Prospectus Summary, Risk Factors,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and
Business, contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events, our
future financial performance, growth of our target market and related worldwide markets, future
demand for our products, retail electrical energy demand and prices and similar expectations.
These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
may, will, should, expects, intends, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates,
predicts, potential, continues or the negative of these terms or other comparable
terminology. These risks and other factors include those listed under Risk Factors and elsewhere
in this prospectus. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements as they
reflect our managements view only as of the date of this prospectus. We will not update any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which
such statement is made.
This prospectus contains statistical data that we obtained from industry sources. These sources
generally indicate that they have obtained their information from sources believed to be reliable,
but do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Although we believe that the
industry sources are reliable, we have not independently verified their data.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock by the selling
stockholders. However, we have received $1,122,288 in net proceeds from the private offer and sale
of the Senior Secured Notes, and $2,232,750 in net proceeds from the Placement, and if all
outstanding options and warrants in respect of which the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock
are being registered hereunder were exercised, we would receive approximately $5,730,000 in
proceeds.
We have used the net proceeds from the Placement for working capital and general corporate
purposes. We currently plan to use any proceeds received from the exercise of options and warrants
for the same purposes.
We anticipate we will need at least $250,000 to $300,000 per month to continue our current
operations, not including non-cash expenses and payments to certain creditors, including accrued
salaries and expenses. As discussed in Risk Factors above, we will need to make payments toward
accrued liabilities out of our cash flow for the foreseeable future. Overall, our satisfaction of
our cash requirements depends on our ability to raise money from external financing sources and to
generate future sales.

paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at
the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of

It is the intention and present policy of our board to retain all earnings to provide for our
future growth.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the
related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this
discussion includes forward-looking information that involves risks and assumptions which could
cause actual results to differ materially from managements expectations. See Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on page 11 of this prospectus.
OVERVIEW
The Company generates revenues from a single business segment: the design, development, marketing
and sale of proprietary solid state electrical components designed to reduce energy consumption in
alternating current induction motors.
The Company began generating revenues from sales of its patented EcoPro line of motor controllers
in late 1995. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had total stockholders equity of $2,044,913.
The Company raised money through the sale of 10,700,008 shares of common stock in a private stock
offering that closed on November 30, 2006, 14,500,000 shares of common stock in a private stock
offering in July and August of 2005, the Companys sale of 2,346,233 shares of Series A-1
Convertible Preferred stock to Summit Energy Ventures, LLC in June of 2002 and the conversion of
notes payable of approximately $1,047,000 into 982,504 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred
stock in October of 2003. In addition, in August 2000, the Company purchased the assets of Percon,
formerly the largest distributor of the Companys products. The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase and the Companys Statements of Operations includes Percons results of operations since
the date of acquisition. The consolidation of the operations of both entities allowed the Company
to integrate the administrative, sales, marketing and manufacturing operations of Percon. Percon
had developed sales contacts with major OEMs in the elevator/escalator industry and transferred
those agreements to the Company as part of the sale.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FISCAL YEAR 2006 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2005
REVENUES
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $188,811 compared to $276,405 for the year ended
December 31, 2005, a decrease of $87,594, or 32%. This decrease is mainly attributable to changes
in sales personnel and the resulting disruptions to sales efforts in 2006.
COST OF REVENUES
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $136,240 compared to $245,789 for the
year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $109,549 or 45%. As a percentage of product revenues,
total costs of product revenues decreased to approximately 72% for the year ended December 31, 2006
compared to approximately 89% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in the costs as a
percentage of product revenues was primarily due to raising some unit prices mid-year in 2006 and
the sale of higher margin units in 2006.
GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $52,571 compared to $30,616 for the year
ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $21,955 or 72%. This increase was primarily due to raising
some unit prices mid-year in 2006 and the sale of higher margin units in 2006, as well as the
Company utilizing a new turn-key manufacturer for production that required less oversight by
Company personnel in 2006.
15
OPERATING EXPENSES
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $567,591 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to
$418,016 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $149,575 or 36%. This increase is
mainly attributable to the Companys research and development efforts on its digital controller for
both its single-phase and three-phase products and payment of higher salaries to personnel,
particularly for the first half of 2006, due to significantly reduced salaries in the first six
months of 2005. Research and development salaries decreased in the second half of 2006.
Additionally, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of approximately $56,000 related to the
adoption of SFAS 123R (See Note 2 to the financial statements) in 2006.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,118,233 for the year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $1,641,307 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $1,476,926 or 90%. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over the prior year was due primarily to
an increase in payroll and payroll related costs, comprised of: non-cash expenses associated with
the Companys adoption of SFAS 123R (See Note 2 to the financial statements) which resulted in a
non-cash charge of approximately $1,019,000, the increase in the Companys workforce in connection
with the Companys new sales and marketing plan, and higher salaries paid to personnel due to
significantly reduced salaries in the first and second quarters of 2005, as well as increases in
the Companys investor relations expenses and professional fees.
Interest expense was approximately $1,354,195 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to
$529,387 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $824,808 or 156%. The increase in
interest expense is primarily related to a non-cash finance charge related to the value of stock
warrants issued in connection with a line of credit, recorded earlier in 2006. Total non-cash
interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,039,451.
Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock options under the intrinsic method of APB
No. 25, and presented fair value disclosure as pro forma as provided by SFAS No. 123, as permitted
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Beginning in 2006,
the Company is accounting for employee stock options as compensation expense, in accordance with
SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payments. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of
employee stock options and similar awards for periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and
applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards at a companys adoption date. Results
from prior periods have not been restated in the Companys historical financial statements.
In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on
the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest
rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair value of share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result,
if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Companys stock-based
compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is
required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares
expected to vest. In estimating the Companys forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical
forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a
percentage of total options outstanding. If the Companys actual forfeiture rate is materially
different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the
stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the
current period. The impact of applying SFAS No. 123R approximated $1,075,000 in additional
compensation expense
during the year ended December 31, 2006. Such amount is included in research and development
expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

services from consultants, vendors, the forgiveness of indebtedness and the issuance of debt of
$140,502, increases in accounts receivable of $53,556, prepaid expenses of $65,337 and other
assets of $6,339, decreases in inventory of $16,478 and restricted cash related to a note payable
of $215,033. In addition, these amounts were partially offset by an increase in customer deposits
of $5,105 and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $46,685 and accrued salaries
and payroll taxes of $85,179.
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal year 2006 was $90,567, compared to $4,613 in
fiscal year 2005. The amounts for both fiscal years 2006 and 2005 consisted of the purchase of
fixed assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal year 2006 was $3,531,755 which primarily
consisted of proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, net of costs, of $3,180,000, proceeds
from the issuance of debt securities of $2,000,000 and proceeds from a line of credit of
$1,500,000. These amounts were offset by payments on notes payable of $1,648,245 and payments on a
line of credit of $1,500,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal year 2005 was $2,701,771 which primarily
consisted of proceeds from the issuance of equity securities of $2,677,153, proceeds from the
issuance of debt securities of $125,000 and a note payable from a legal settlement of $38,297.
These amounts were offset by an increase in deferred financing costs of $63,457 and payments on
loans from stockholders officers and former officers of $75,222.
The Company expects to increase its operating expenses, particularly in research and development
and selling, general and administrative expenses, for the foreseeable future in order to execute
its business strategy. As a result, the Company anticipates that operating expenses will constitute
a material use of any cash resources.
Cash Requirements and Need for Additional Funds
The Company anticipates a substantial need for cash to fund its working capital requirements. In
accordance with the Companys prepared expansion plan, it is the opinion of management that
approximately $3.0 $3.6 million will be required to cover operating expenses, including, but not
limited to, marketing, sales, research and operations during the next twelve months. If the
Company is unable to obtain funding on reasonable terms or finance its need through current
operations, the Company will be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations.
Notable changes to expenses are expected to include an increase in the Companys sales personnel
and efforts, and developing more advanced versions of the Companys technology and products.

BUSINESS
General Background
We design, develop and market energy efficiency technologies and products for electric motors.
Until recently these products were called the Power Genius. We recently re-branded the product
as the EcoPro. Our new digital technology is called E-Save. Our products reduce the amount of
power consumed by lightly loaded alternating current induction motors that operate at a constant
speed. Utilizing patented improvements upon NASA-developed motor diagnostic technologies, our
products provide to the user energy cost savings of as much as 35%. We market our products directly
under the brand name EcoPro, and through other companies under names such as Power Commander® and
EcoStart. These companies include the leading elevator/escalator manufacturers in the world, such
as Otis Elevator Co (a division of United Technologies) and KONE, Inc.
Description of Business
Formation
We were incorporated in Delaware in October 1994. In our early years, we focused on research and
development of technologies and products and validating the energy savings generated by our
products.
In the late 1990s, we commenced sales of products based on our technology. In addition to energy
savings benefits, the EcoPro extends motor life, minimizes maintenance, results in cooler running,
reduces stress and strain on the motor, and reduces stress and strain on accompanying electrical
and mechanical systems. Technology and circuitry included in the EcoPro is the subject of a
United States Patent granted in 1998. We offer the EcoPro principally as a three phase product,
which is used in industrial and commercial applications. We also have a single phase version of the
product, which is intended for consumer applications such as home appliances and the like, but this
is not yet a commercialized product.
Our product is designed to soft start a motor, save energy, and protect and conserve the motor.
Field validation of the technology has resulted in an installed base of over a thousand units in
North America, Europe and Asia. High-profile product installations include the Smithsonian Museums,
Honolulu International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Toronto Airport and Federated
Department Stores. Our average revenue per three-phase unit sold is approximately $975; our gross
margin on a going forward basis is expected to be 30-60% once our revenue has increased to more
sustainable levels.
Our management team is led by Steven Strasser, an experienced energy executive and venture
capitalist. The management team is composed of individuals with financial, operational, and
engineering experience. We believe our diverse team gives us the ability to both grow and manage
our business.
Government mandates to reduce energy, such as the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as well as increasing
worldwide concern about global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, have led to an increased focus
by both the public and private sectors on energy saving technology. This focus, combined with the
large installed base of electric motors that can benefit from our products, represents what we
believe to be an extremely large market opportunity. We have formulated a proactive sales and
marketing plan to capitalize on this dynamic market.
Products
We offer the EcoPro in various configurations to meet a wide range of motor sizes. The EcoPro
reduces energy consumption on electrical equipment by electronically sensing and controlling the
amount of energy the motor consumes. The motor only uses the energy it needs to perform its tasks, thereby
increasing its efficiency. The end result is a reduction of energy consumption of up to 35 percent,
in certain applications, as well as less wear and tear on the motor.
We believe the EcoPro line offers a technologically superior energy reduction solution compared to
competing products. In addition to the original technology that was licensed from NASA, the EcoPro
incorporates substantial proprietary design elements that are the result of our extensive
laboratory and field testing. A United States patent has been issued for some of these enhancements
that will not expire until 2017. These refinements enable the EcoPro to offer a superior control
system which measures and
19
monitors key motor operating conditions and adapts motor operating
parameters during rapid changes in motor load, all without excessive vibration, synchronization
problems or other material adverse effects to the motor or surrounding electrical and mechanical
systems.
In addition to energy savings, another feature of the EcoPro is that it enables motors to soft
start. Soft start is achieved by the use of a timed ramp circuit. The circuit gradually releases
power to the motor in a timed manner. As voltage is slowly increased, current is increased as
needed by the motor, until full voltage and current bring the motor to its full RPM. At that point,
the soft-start circuit automatically turns off and the energy saving circuits take control of the
motor. The timing for the circuit can be adjusted from instant start to 30 seconds before full RPM
and full voltage is reached. The result of the soft start is that inrush current and start-up
torque is greatly reduced, reducing wear and tear on the motor, extending motor life and reducing
maintenance costs.
The EcoPro currently works for three phase motors used primarily in commercial and industrial
applications. The product soft-starts the motor and then supplies only the necessary voltage and
current to maintain the workload on the motor at a particular time. The EcoPro allows full motor
speed (RPM) to be maintained at all times, and provides the following major benefits to the
customer:
|
1. |
|
Energy savings up to 35%, in appropriate applications; and |
|
|
2. |
|
Increased motor life resulting from lower operating temperature and reduced
stress and strain. |
The selling price of the three phase EcoPro ranges from approximately $500 to more than $6,000,
depending on the size of the motor it is intended to control.
The Industry
The Company believes that finite oil and gas supplies, as well as increased awareness of the
problems of global warming, have heightened interest in energy saving technologies. The recent
increase in natural gas prices combined with the reliance on this fuel to power most of the new
power generation plants, and the need to upgrade the US power grid that delivers electricity, make
further increases in electrical costs likely. Electricity costs have increased to more than $0.15
per kWh in some areas of the country. Higher electricity costs result in increased return on
investment (ROI) to purchasers of our products. Since many companies set ROI requirements as a
prerequisite for capital expenditures, management believes that the increased ROI resulting from
higher energy costs expands our potential base of customers for our products.
Economic and environmental factors are expected to lead to increased governmental involvement in
the form of incentives, rebates, low interest loans, and in some cases mandates to utilize
energy-saving technology. The emphasis on building natural gas power plants was influenced by the
safety and environmental concerns with nuclear and coal fired plants. The increasing demand for
natural gas has resulted in strong price increases that we believe are unlikely to return to
previous levels in the short term. The resulting increases in power costs impact the entire
economy. We believe that the need to reduce power costs, coupled with strong pressures to maintain
and increase environmental standards, will help push more widespread acceptance of our technology.
Environmental Impact
The EcoPro benefits the purchaser and society by reducing the consumption of electricity. This
reduction in electricity results in decreased pollutants, including the greenhouse gas emissions
associated with the production of electricity.
20
The Market
The United States consumes over $200 billion of electricity annually. A study for the Department of
Energy estimates that industrial motor driven systems consume 23% of all electricity in the U.S.
and 64% of all the electricity used in the manufacturing sector. Based on our experience, our
product can save up to 35% of the energy consumed by electric AC induction motors in appropriate
applications. These applications include most motors that work at constant speed but are variably
loaded, such as the AC motors found on many elevators, escalators, granulators, oil pump jacks,
crushing machines, saw mills, stamping presses, and other manufacturing equipment.

Sustainable Competitive Advantage and Barriers to Entry
|
1. |
|
Performance - Third-party testing has shown the EcoPro to perform better than
other energy-saving motor controllers. To our knowledge, no competitive product
matches our performance. |
|
|
2. |
|
Patent Protection - US patent to 2017. United States Patent Number 5,821,726
-Balanced and synchronized phase detector for an AC induction motor controller. Also,
we recently filed three provisional patents on new software and algorithms for
measuring and reducing energy usage by electric motors. |
|
|
3. |
|
Continuous Improvement - We continuously look for ways to reduce the
manufacturing cost of our product family while introducing value-added features. By
reducing the manufacturing cost and increasing the energy-saving performance we improve
the payback value proposition. |
|
|
4. |
|
New Product Development Planned new products include software-based versions
of our current three phase product, which will incorporate many new value-added
features. We are presently finalizing CSA and UL certification for this product. We
have also
developed a software based prototype version of our single phase controller. We are
presently producing 25 of these controllers for testing on various applications on
our own and with potential customers. |
|
|
5. |
|
Large, Technically Qualified Distribution Partners - Customer satisfaction
requires a level of technical skill on the part of the salesperson to correctly
identify motor
applications and specify the proper product. Furthermore, customer acceptance
depends upon the confidence the customers have in the Companys distribution
partners. We believe our relationships with OEMs, such as Otis Elevator Company and
KONE Inc., increases our customers confidence in our products and promotes market
acceptance of the technology. |
21
Sales and Marketing
We have recently reorganized our sales and marketing efforts to focus on rebate programs and
certain industries in which we believe there are the most promising revenue and profit
possibilities for the sale of EcoPro.
Our marketing plan is now focused on the following:
1. Rebates/Incentives: This focus involves getting our product approved for energy efficiency
rebate and financing programs available from many state agencies and utilities. These energy
efficiency incentive programs involve outright payment of a rebate to end purchasers of our
equipment and/or low interest rate financing possibilities. For example, we have been through
extensive testing with Nevada Power Company, the electric utility for southern Nevada, and the New
York Power Authority (NYPA). Our product qualified for NYPAs incentive funding program, an
incentive program through Southern California Edison, and a prescriptive rebate from the Nevada
SureBet Program, which is the rebate program for the major Nevada utilities, Nevada Power Company
and Sierra Pacific Power Company. NYPA provides financing for 100% of the installed cost of our
units through low interest, long term loans to end users. Southern California Edison will pay for
the entire cost of our units for end users willing to install the technology on escalators in the
Southern California Edison service territory. The Nevada SureBet Program pays the customer $20 per
installed horsepower for escalator applications, so installing our product on a 20 horsepower motor
in an escalator would result in a $400 rebate.
We believe these incentive programs will improve our revenues and profits by making it effectively
less expensive for end users to purchase our products. We are specifically targeting incentive
programs in New York, Nevada, California and other states that have high electricity prices and
sizable energy efficiency incentive programs.
2. The Elevator and Escalator Industry: This focus involves strengthening our relationships with
companies such as Otis Elevators Co. and KONE, Inc., as well as other original equipment
manufacturers and service providers in the elevator and escalator industry. Some of these companies
have historically been strong partners and sellers of our products, but the previous marketing
programs to sell to and through these companies were not effectively designed and executed by prior
management. We believe that these relationships can provide us with significant sales opportunities
in the future. Specifically, our goal is to have these companies adopt our new digital product as a
standard component in their new escalators.
3. Industrial OEMs, Reps and Distributors: This focus involves establishing relationships with
OEMs, distributors and sales representatives that focus on the sale of electrical equipment to
general industry. Many industrial companies are attractive customers for us because they often
understand the operation and energy use of the electric motors in their facilities, and they often
service their motors and motor-related equipment themselves. This is important because it reduces
or eliminates the installation costs often associated with the purchase of our products. In general
industrial facilities we expect to be
able to sell to customers with plastic granulators, crushers, grinders, conveyor systems, and other
applications that require constant motor speed with variable load on the motor.
International sales may eventually equal or exceed domestic sales due to higher electricity prices
in many countries outside the United States. We have obtained the CE Mark, a symbol that indicates
the product complies with the essential requirements of the European laws or Directives, in order
to introduce the controller in Europe; we have also obtained CSA certification, which indicates the
product complies with
the essential requirements of the Canadian laws or Directives, and is recognized, and required in
some states, in the United States.
22
Competition
The principal competitive factors in our markets include innovative product design, return on
investment from energy savings, product quality, product performance, utility rebate acceptance,
established customer relationships, name recognition, distribution and price.
The Company competes against a number of companies, many of which have longer operating histories,
established markets and far greater financial, advertising, research and development,
manufacturing, marketing, personnel and other resources than Power Efficiency Corporation currently
has or may reasonably be expected to have in the foreseeable future. This competition may have an
adverse effect on our ability to commence and expand its operations or operate in a profitable
manner.
We believe the three phase EcoPro has no direct competition that combines energy savings with a
soft start feature as effectively as our product. There are many devices on the market that provide
a soft-start feature without any other energy savings. Competition for the energy savings feature
provided by the EcoPro includes several direct competitors and the following:
|
|
|
Controllers which utilize a different electronic technology than the technology used
by the Company; |
|
|
|
|
Variable frequency drives (VFDs); and |
|
|
|
|
High-energy efficient motors. |
Three-Phase Competition. Although we have not completed any formal market study, we believe our
Three-Phase EcoPro has the following competitive advantages:
|
|
|
It is the only device management is aware of that combines soft start features with
energy savings features in a single integrated unit that is CSA and CE certified and
achieves energy savings levels up 35%; and |
|
|
|
|
Its circuitry is proprietary and protected by a patent. |
Single-Phase Competition. Several companies have attempted to exploit this market with different
technologies due to the enormous opportunity in single-phase motor applications. These products
include Green Plug (voltage clamping) and Power Planner (digital microchip).
High Efficiency Motors. Insofar as high efficiency motor replacement is concerned, management
believes that the energy savings gain attributable to high efficiency motors is materially lower
than that of the EcoPro on lightly loaded motor applications, which is the prime target for the
Companys products. Furthermore, the Companys products are able to save energy on lightly loaded
high efficiency motors, so that such motors and the Companys technology are not mutually
exclusive.
Our products compete with other products which have energy savings capabilities similar to those of
our products. Somar Environmental Systems Ltd., based in the United Kingdom, and Precision Power
Labs of Phoenix, Arizona, offer such products. According to an independent test performed by
Medsker Electric, Inc. of Farmington Hills, Michigan, our three-phase motor control product
outperformed the Somar product by a significant margin. The Precision Power Labs product was not
available at the time of the test. To our knowledge, none of these companies has a patented product
that is CSA and CE approved.
Management believes the EcoPro line offers certain advantages over competing products for the
following reasons:
|
|
|
The EcoPro is the result of field and laboratory engineering refinements undertaken
since 1994. These refinements enable the EcoPro to offer a control system which
measures and monitors key motor operating conditions and adapts motor operating
parameters during rapid changes in motor load, all without excessive vibration,
synchronization problems or other material adverse effects to the motor or surrounding
electrical and mechanical systems. |
23
|
|
|
Energy savings and motor efficiencies were verified through tests of the EcoPro
performed by independent laboratories and utilities, such as Nevada Power Company and
the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. |
|
|
|
|
Medsker Electric, Inc., an independent electric motor repair and test laboratory,
performed a series of inrush current and energy savings tests on the EcoPro, then
known as the Performance Controller. The tests compared the Companys product to the
products of three competitors. In its conclusions, Medsker stated that the Companys
EcoPro exhibited twice the energy savings of the next nearest competitor. In
addition, Medsker concluded that the EcoPro exhibited the best soft-start
performance, reducing the motor inrush current by 71%. Finally, Medsker concluded
that the EcoPro was the simplest to install and test, and was the best performer in
terms of energy savings and inrush current reduction. |
Our products may also compete indirectly with soft starts produced by well-recognized firms such
as Allen Bradley, ABB and Siemens. These devices typically range in price between $400 and $5,000
per unit.
In addition, our products may compete with variable frequency drives, which can be set to operate a
constant load motor application at an optimum rate. Such units are sold by well-recognized firms
such as Yaskawa, General Electric, ABB and Allen-Bradley, and are priced typically at $600 to
$5,000 per unit. While our products address a market segment different than that addressed by
variable frequency drives, they may generally compete with variable frequency drives for capital
expenditure dollars earmarked toward improving energy efficiency.
Lastly, our products may compete with high efficiency motors, which operate constant load motor
applications at energy levels materially more efficient than those of standard efficiency motors.
Such units are sold by well-recognized firms such as AO Smith, Baldor, Lincoln Motors and General
Electric, and are priced typically at $200 to $4,000 per unit. While our products address a market
segment different from that addressed by high efficiency motors, our products may generally compete
with high efficiency motors for capital expenditure dollars earmarked for improving energy
efficiency.
Research and Development
We intend to continue our research and development effort to introduce new products based on the
EcoPro technology. Currently, we are in the testing and certification stage on a software-based
version of the three phase motor controller and have completed a prototype of the single phase
controller. We have also recently filed three provisional patents on the advancements necessary for
this software-based line of products. We may not be able to complete development and
commercialization of these products in the near term, or ever, or may have opportunities to develop
other products before these are completed.
Management anticipates that the software-based products will have several distinct advantages over
the current line of products, including:
|
|
|
Increased ease of installation and reduced technical support requirements. Instead
of approximated and manual adjustments during installation, which can require technical
support from the Company, the digitized unit should allow more simplified and precise
adjustments by customers and third party installers. |
24
|
|
|
Increased functionality. With a microchip and software driving our products, we
expect to be able to ultimately add new functionality to the products. These new
functions may include such things as recording and reporting of actual energy savings,
prediction of maintenance problems by reading and reporting on changes in the motors
operating characteristics and more secure intellectual property protection through the
use of secured chips and software. |
Proposed Products
1. Three Phase Digital Controller. The first models of this product are currently being tested and
certified by CSA and UL. The first models are 30 amp and 80 amp units. We are also producing our
first 50 units of the 30 amp product for further testing in the field and customer laboratories,
and for possible sale.
2. Single-Phase Controller. We have developed a prototype digital single-phase controller that
works on some types of single phase motors. The goal is to develop a product that can be installed
on single-phase motors as an OEM product on such appliances as clothes dryers, washing machines and
home refrigerators. We are now producing 25 of these prototypes with the goal of testing the units
on various applications and with a number of companies that manufacture single phase motors or
equipment that is powered by a single phase motor.
Manufacturing and Facilities
We have an arrangement with Cole, a contract manufacturing firm based in Las Vegas, Nevada. This
manufacturer produces units for us on an as-needed basis. Under the arrangement, the Company issues
a purchase order to Cole that outlines, among other things, the number of units to be manufactured
and the desired delivery date. Cole is under no obligation to accept the order and the Company is
under no obligation to use Cole for its manufacturing needs. Management believes the arrangement
between the Company and Cole has been mutually beneficial. Management also believes Cole has the
ability to meet the Companys production needs and the Company would be successful in finding
alternative manufacturers should that be necessary.
Product cost-reduction and quality improvement efforts are, and will remain, an objective of the
Company. Improving unit costs was one key element pushing development of the three phase digital
controller, as well as the overall reengineering of the product to reduce the size and cost of the
units. A second element of this manufacturing and engineering effort is to reduce inventory levels
by simplifying the product offering with the ultimate goal of holding little or no inventory. A
third element of the
program has been to outsource manufacturing, so that less resources are spent managing
manufacturing and inventory.
Employees
At March 31, 2007, we had 9 full time employees. Of this number, one is engaged in accounting and
finance, one in administration, two in general management, four in sales and marketing, and one in
manufacturing, research, and development. The Company plans to hire additional personnel for, among
other things, increased marketing and sales. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements
and
considers its relationship with its employees to be good. The Company utilizes consultants in the
areas of marketing, product management, research and development, and financing on an ongoing
basis.
25
Source of Supply and Availability of Raw Materials
The EcoPro has been designed to use a majority of standard, off-the-shelf, easily acquired
components. Such components are readily available worldwide to our manufacturing partners at
competitive prices. They also come in standard and miniature versions and offer us large latitude
in product design. Although we believe that most of the key components required for the production
of its products are currently available in sufficient production quantities from multiple sources,
there can be no assurance that they will remain so readily available.
Customers
We currently do business with approximately 20 customers. Of this number, four, including KONE,
Inc., Caesars Palace, Rinker Materials, and Rapid Granulator presently account for approximately
75% of the Companys gross revenues in 2006. These customers and their respective gross revenue
percentages are KONE, Ine. 53%; Rapid Granulator 13%; Caesars Palace 5%; and Rinker
Materials 4%. In light of our intentions to focus its business on a limited number of markets,
we are, and may continue to be, dependent upon a limited number of customers. Accordingly, the loss
of one or more of these customers may have a material adverse effect upon our business.
Intellectual Property
We currently rely on a combination of trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, a patent and three
provisional patents to establish and protect the proprietary rights in our products. These
mechanisms do not necessarily provide us with any competitive advantages. Furthermore, others may
independently develop similar technologies, or duplicate or reverse engineer the proprietary
aspects of our technology.
We have one U.S. patent issued with respect to our products. The Balanced and Synchronized Phase
Detector for an AC Induction Motor Controller, No. 5,821,726, was issued on October 13, 1998 and
expires in 2017. This patent covers improvements to the technology formerly under the NASA License
Agreement (described below), which were developed by us.
We do not have patent protection outside of the United States and South Africa. In fact, a Chinese
company may have copied our technology, as well as our old logo and general Website appearance, and
may be selling a competing product.
We believe that our products and other proprietary rights do not infringe on any proprietary rights
possessed by third parties. However, third parties may assert infringement claims in the future,
the defense costs of which could be substantial.
We also recently filed three provisional patents on new developments for the software-based,
digital products that we are developing. These provisional patents include new algorithms for
sensing and controlling the power delivered to a motor. These provisional patents, by themselves,
do not provide us additional patent protection. The provisional patents establish a date for our
claim to this intellectual property and allow us one year to file a standard patent on the new
developments.
We have obtained U.S. Trademark registration of the Power Commander® mark and anticipate filing a
trademark registration on EcoPro.
NASA License Agreement
We had been the exclusive United States licensee of certain power factor controller technology
owned by the United States of America, as represented by NASA. This license agreement covered the
United States and its territories and possessions and did not require us to pay royalties to NASA
in connection with our sale of products employing technology utilizing the licensed patents. Our
rights under the license agreement were non-transferable and were not to be sublicensed without
NASAs consent. The license agreement terminated on December 16, 2002, with the expiration of all
of the licensed patents.
26
Government Regulation
We are not required to be certified by any government agencies. However, our products are
manufactured to comply with specific Underwriters Laboratory codes that meet national safety
standards. Presently, our products comply with UL 508 Industrial Control Equipment and the Company
has also received certification meeting Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
CSA-B44.1-96/ASME-17.5-1996 Elevator and Escalator Electrical Equipment. Our products are also CE
marked. The CE certificate number is C1282PEC1.TLS.doc. The Department of Commerce does not require
our technology to be certified for export. Our industrial code is 421610 and the SIC code is 5063.
Impact of the Energy Industry
Sales of our product are not dependant on continued deregulation of the electrical energy market
because our products can be sold in regulated and deregulated markets. However, state and utility
incentive programs for energy efficiency products can provide an additional source of investment
return (in the form of an incentive payment or rebate) for companies and public-sector entities
purchasing our product and future projects.
Effect of Environmental Regulations
We are not aware of any federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials
into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment with which
compliance by us has had, or is expected to have, a material effect upon our capital expenditures,
earnings, or competitive position.
Description of Property
The Companys corporate office space is located at 3960 Howard Hughes Pkwy, Suite 460, Las Vegas,
Nevada 89169. The office lease payment is presently $11,292 per month, with standard increases
through the end of the lease term in February 2011.
Legal Proceedings
We are not presently involved in any litigation.
In the winter of 2005-2006 we settled litigation with the owner of the former office space in
Livonia, Michigan. Under the terms of the settlement, we have paid our former landlord $50,000 in
cash and will pay the former landlord an additional $50,000 in 18 monthly installments of $2,778
each. As of the date of this report, this settlement agreement has been paid in full.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment Arrangements and Change of Control Agreements
On June 1, 2005, we entered into employment agreements with Steven Strasser as Chief Executive
Officer, BJ Lackland as Chief Financial Officer, and Nicholas Anderson as Chief Technology Officer.
The term of each agreement will be five years. In the event of a defined change in control of the
Company, each agreement will provide for accelerated vesting of stock options and a cash severance
payment equal to 2.99 times the executives then current salary and previous years bonus.
On May 15, 2006, we terminated Nicholas Anderson for cause and canceled his employment agreement
with the Company. As of the December 31, 2006, we have not accrued a loss related to this
termination and we do not foresee any material loss in our ability to manufacture current products
or develop new products.

Stock Option Plans
As of December 31, 2006, we had an aggregate of 14,734,896 shares of Common Stock available for
issuance under our stock plans. The following is a description of our plans.
2000 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, or the 2000 Plan
The 2000 Plan, was adopted by our board of directors and our stockholders in 2000. On February 23,
2004, the 2000 Plan was amended and restated. As of December 31, 2006, no restricted shares of
Common Stock have been issued, and none of the outstanding options to purchase 14,734,896 shares of
our Common Stock have been exercised pursuant to the 2000 Plan.
Share Reserve. Under the 2000 Plan, we have initially reserved for issuance an aggregate of
20,000,000 shares.
Administration. The 2000 Plan is administered by the board of directors. The stock option awards
qualify as performance-based-compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, with two or more outside directors within the meaning of Section
162(m) of the Code. The board of directors has the power to determine the terms of the awards,
including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each award, the exercisability of the
awards and the form of consideration payable upon exercise.
Eligibility. Awards under the 2000 Plan may be granted to any of our employees, directors or
consultants or those of our affiliates.
Options. With respect to non-statutory stock options intended to qualify as performance-based
compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and incentive stock options, the
exercise price must be at least equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of
grant. In addition, the exercise price for any incentive stock option granted to any employee
owning more than 10% of our Common Stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our
Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of any stock option may not exceed ten years, except
that with respect to any
participant who owns 10% or more of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding capital
stock, the term for incentive stock options must not exceed five years.
34
Stock Awards. The administrator may determine the number of shares to be granted and impose
whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate, including performance criteria.
The criteria may be based on financial performance, personal performance evaluations and/or
completion of service by the participant. The administrator will determine the level of
achievement of performance criteria. Unless the administrator determines otherwise, shares that do
not vest typically will be subject to forfeiture or to our right of repurchase, which we may
exercise upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the participants service with us for any
reason, including death or disability.
Adjustments upon Merger or Change in Control. The 2000 Plan provides that in the event of a merger
with or into another corporation or a change in control, including the sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, and certain other events, our board of directors (or a committee
of the board of directors) may, in its discretion, provide for some or all of:
|
|
|
assumption or substitution of, or adjustment to, each outstanding award; |
|
|
|
|
acceleration of the vesting of options and stock appreciation rights; |
|
|
|
|
termination of any restrictions on stock awards or cash awards; or |
|
|
|
|
cancellation of awards in exchange for a cash payment to the participant. |
Amendment and Termination. The board of directors has the authority to amend, alter or discontinue
the 2000 Plan, subject to the approval of the stockholders, but no amendment will impair the rights
of any award, unless mutually agreed to between the participant and the administrator.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our certificate of incorporation
provides that the personal liability of our directors shall be
limited to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL generally
provides that no director shall be liable personally to us or our stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that our certificate of incorporation does not
eliminate the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to us or
our stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law; (iii) acts or omissions in respect of certain unlawful dividend
payments or stock redemptions or repurchases; or (iv) any transaction from which such director
derives improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate our rights and the
rights of our stockholders through stockholders derivative suits on our behalf, to recover
monetary damages against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty of care as a director
including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior except in the situations
described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not
affect our or our stockholders ability to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or
rescission, against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws provide that we shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, indemnify all directors and officers who we may
indemnify pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL permits a company to
indemnify an officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
proceeding because of his or her position, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such company
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and
officers consistent with indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.
35
We maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy covering certain liabilities
that may be incurred by our directors and officers in connection with the performance of their
duties. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by us.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, our directors and
officers, and persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed
that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table provides certain information with respect to the selling stockholders
beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of April 26, 2007 and as adjusted to give effect to the
sale of all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. We do not know when or in
what amounts the selling stockholders may offer for sale the shares of common stock pursuant to
this prospectus. The selling stockholders may choose not to sell any of the shares offered by this
prospectus. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the selling stockholders will have
sold all of the shares covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the
number of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder and the percentage of ownership of
that selling stockholder, shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding shares of our Series A
preferred stock, convertible debentures, options or warrants held by that selling stockholder that
are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, within 60 days from the date of this prospectus
are included. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the
percentage ownership of any other selling stockholder. Each selling stockholders percentage of
ownership in the following table is based upon 38,516,676 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
April 27, 2007. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock by the
selling stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF STOCK
The following is a summary of the rights of our common and preferred stock and related provisions
of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws, as will be in effect upon the closing of this
offering. This summary is not complete. For more detailed information, please see our articles of
incorporation, bylaws and related agreements, which are filed as exhibits or incorporated by
reference to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of April 27, 2007,
there were 38,516,676 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Each holder of issued and
outstanding shares of our common stock will be entitled to one vote per share on all matters
submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of shares of our common stock do not have
cumulative voting rights. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of our common
stock will have the ability to elect all of our directors.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends payable in cash, property or
shares of our capital stock, when, as and if declared by our board of directors. We do not
currently expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock. Upon our voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, any assets remaining after prior payment in full of all of
our liabilities and after prior payment in full of the liquidation preference of any preferred
stock would be paid ratably to holders of our common stock.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
As of the date hereof, there are, and following this offering there will be, 23,996,693 warrants
outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $0.20 to $11.90 with expiration dates ranging from

Certain of the warrants have net exercise provisions under which their respective holders may, in
lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, surrender the warrant and receive a net amount of
shares based on the fair market value of our Common Stock after deduction of the aggregate exercise
price. These warrants also contain provisions for the adjustment of the exercise price and the
aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the event of tock dividends,
stock splits, reorganization, reclassifications and consolidations.
Series A-1 Stock
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share, of
which no shares are outstanding.
Registration Rights
The Company has granted piggyback registration rights to the holders of 300,000 shares of Common
Stock and 3,183,544 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. These shares and warrants are
held by certain debt investors and consultants to the Company.
Certain Statutory and Charter Provisions Relating to a Change of Control
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, this provision prohibits
a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested
stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person
became an interested stockholder.
50
A business combination includes a merger, asset sale, or other transaction resulting in a
financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person, other
than the corporation and any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the corporation, who
together with the affiliates and associates, owns or, as an affiliate or associate, within three
years prior, did own 15% or more of the corporations outstanding voting stock.
This prohibition is lifted if:
|
|
|
prior to such date, the corporations board of directors approved either the
business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
|
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in such person becoming an
interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting
stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding
for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, shares owned by certain
directors or certain employee stock plans; or |
|
|
|
|
on or after the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business
combination is approved by the corporations board of directors and authorized by the
affirmative vote, and not by written consent, of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
voting stock of the corporation excluding that owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 expressly exempts from the requirements described above any business combination by a
corporation with an interested stockholder who becomes an interested stockholder in a transaction
approved by the corporations board of directors.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer and Trust, located at 17
Battery Place, New York, New York, 10004.
Rule 144
As of April 27, 2007, we also have outstanding an additional 1,886,316 shares of Common Stock that
were issued and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. If shares are purchased by our affiliates as that term is defined in Rule 144, their sales
of shares would be governed by the limitations and restrictions that are described below. The
offer and sale of shares held by our affiliates Summit, Steven Strasser, and Commerce, is not
being registered hereunder, and sale of those shares would also be governed by such limitations and
restrictions.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are
aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares of our Common Stock for at least one year, including
any person who may be deemed to be an affiliate (as the term affiliate is defined under the
Securities Act), would be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that
does not exceed the greater of:
|
|
|
1% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, which as of April 27,
2007 would equal approximately 390,000 shares; or |
|
|
|
|
the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks
preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale. |
Sales under Rule 144 are also governed by other requirements regarding the manner of sale,
notice of filing and the availability of current public information about us. Under Rule 144,
however, a person who is not, and for the three months prior to the sale of such shares has not
been, an affiliate of the issuer is free to sell shares that are restricted securities which have
been held for at least two years without regard to the limitations contained in Rule 144. The
selling stockholders will not be governed by the foregoing restrictions when selling their shares
pursuant to this prospectus.
51
Rule 144(k)
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during
the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold
for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is
entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, notice filing, volume
limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Our Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.
All of the 24,441,033 shares of our Common Stock included in this prospectus are for sale by the
selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of
the shares of Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus which are already owned by them, or which
are to be issued to them upon their conversion of shares of our convertible preferred stock. We
will receive cash proceeds from the issuance of shares to selling stockholders on exercise of
options or warrants, but not from the resale of any such shares.
The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, may, from
time to time, sell any or all of their shares of our Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or
trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling shares:
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but
may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; |
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account; |
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; |
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of
such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; |
|
|
|
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether
through an options exchange or otherwise; or |
|
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144, if available, rather than under this
prospectus.
The shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants issued to those selling stockholders who, as
indicated in the Selling Stockholder table above, received such warrants as part of compensation
pursuant to a placement agency agreement between us and Joseph Stevens & Co. are restricted in
accordance with Rule 2710(g)(1) of the NASD Conduct Rules. Accordingly, those selling stockholders
shall not directly or indirectly, offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate
or subject to hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction such shares for a period of
180 days after the date this registration statement is declared effective by the SEC.
52
NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling shareholder intends to sell
any of the shares registered for resale in this Prospectus through a member of the NASD
participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a
timely filing is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of the NASD and disclosing to the
NASD the following:
|
|
|
it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer
of such certificates; |
|
|
|
|
the complete details of how the selling shareholders shares are and will be held,
including location of the particular accounts; |
|
|
|
|
whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into,
will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the
selling shareholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and |
|
|
|
|
in the event any of the securities offered by the selling shareholders are sold,
transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any selling shareholder in a transaction that
directly or indirectly involves a member firm of the NASD or any affiliates thereof, that
prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant
documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of the
NASD for review. |
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Each selling stockholder does not expect these commissions
and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what is customary in the types of
transactions involved.
In connection with the sale of our Common Stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in
turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.
The selling stockholders may, after the date of this prospectus, also sell shares of our Common
Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the
Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may
also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or
the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as
supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares
may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on
the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholders has informed us that it does not have
any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute our Common
Stock. If any of the selling stockholders enter into an agreement with an underwriter to do a firm
commitment offering of the shares of our Common Stock offered by such selling stockholder through
this prospectus, if we are aware of such underwriting agreement we will file a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part setting forth the
material terms of such underwriting agreement. The selling stockholder may not sell any of the
shares in such firm underwriting until such post-effective amendment becomes effective.
53
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144
may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each selling stockholder has advised
us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any
underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or
coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling
stockholders.
The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required
under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not
be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an
exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the
distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with
respect to our Common Stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the
distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the
timing of purchases and sales of shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any
other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have
informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the
time of the sale.
We do not know whether any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock
registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to this
prospectus including SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or blue sky
laws, except that the selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and selling
commissions for the sale of their shares. We expect that our expenses for this offering, consisting
primarily of legal, accounting and printing expenses, will be
approximately $15,500.
We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under
the Securities Act, in accordance with registration rights and other agreements entered into by us
with the selling stockholders, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, by any of the
selling stockholders, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons
other than our affiliates.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters will be passed upon for us by Ellenoff, Grossman & Schole LLP, New York, New
York.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Power Efficiency Corporation
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Power Efficiency Corporation, (a Delaware
corporation) (the Company) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations,
changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and
2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Power Efficiency Corporation at December 31, 2006 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as
a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations, the Company has experienced a deficiency of cash from operations
and lacks sufficient liquidity to continue its operations. These matters raise substantial doubt
as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these
matters are also discussed in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS:
Power Efficiency Corporation (Power Efficiency and/or the Company), was incorporated in
Delaware on October 19, 1994. Power Efficiency designs, develops, markets and sells proprietary
solid state electrical devices designed to effectively reduce energy consumption in alternating
current induction motors. Alternating current induction motors are commonly found in industrial
and commercial facilities throughout the world. The Company currently has one principal and
proprietary product: the Three Phase Power Genius, which is used in industrial applications.
Additionally, the Company is developing digital versions of its three phase and single phase
controllers.
The Companys primary customers have been original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and commercial
accounts located throughout the United States of America, Mexico, Sweden, and Canada.
On September 15, 2003, Power Efficiency formed Design Efficient Energy Services, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company. This entity was formed to obtain energy grants and rebates for
customers of the Company from state governmental bodies. Design Efficient Energy Services, LLC has
been inactive since inception.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company reviews
inventory for impairments to net realizable value whenever circumstances arise.
Accounts Receivable:
The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts and
returns. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an
allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current
credit conditions.
Research and Development:
Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while
betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 7 years.

DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
Website and Amortization:
Website development, maintenance and hosting costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
The Company bills customers for freight. Actual costs for shipping and handling are included as a
component of cost of sales.
Deferred Financing Costs:
Expenditures incurred in conjunction with debt or equity capital issuances are deferred as other
assets. Such costs will be offset against equity proceeds, amortized on a straight line basis,
over the life of the debt, or expensed if the offering is not completed.
Patents:
Costs associated with applying for U.S. patents based upon technology developed by the Company are
capitalized. At the time the patent is awarded, the asset will be amortized on a straight line
basis, over the remaining term of the patent. If no patent is issued, these costs will be expensed
in the period when it is determined that no patent will be issued.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenue from product sales to OEMs and distributors is recognized at the time of shipment to the
OEMs and distributors when all services are complete. Returns and other sales adjustments
(discounts and shipping credits) are provided for in the same period the related sales are
recorded.
Loss Per Common Share:
Loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is
not presented since giving effect to potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.
Weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis were 55,623,948 and 29,842,266
for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation:
Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock options under the intrinsic method of APB
No. 25, and presented fair value disclosure as pro forma as provided by SFAS No. 123, as permitted
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Beginning in 2006,
the Company accounted for employee stock options as compensation expense, in accordance with SFAS
No. 123R, Share Based Payments. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of
employee stock options and similar awards for periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and
applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards at a companys adoption date. Results
from prior periods have not been restated in the Companys historical financial statements.
F-7
POWER EFFICIENCY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on
the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest
rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair value of share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result,
if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Companys stock-based
compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is
required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares
expected to vest. In estimating the Companys forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical
forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a
percentage of total options outstanding. If the Companys actual forfeiture rate is materially
different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the
stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the
current period. The impact of applying SFAS No. 123R approximated $1,075,000 in additional
compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2006. Such amount is included in selling,
general and administrative expense on the statement of operations.
Product Warranties:
The Company warrants its products for two years. During the warranty period, the Companys policy
is to replace the defective product. The Company has been providing for warranty costs as they are
incurred. The Company periodically reviews warranty claims and will establish a reserve for
warranty claims when such amount is determinable and necessary based on historical information.
Provision for Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for both the expected future tax impact of differences between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be
derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS No. 109 additionally requires the
establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax
assets.
The provision for taxes represents state franchise taxes.
Goodwill:
The Company previously adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill shall no longer be amortized. Goodwill shall be
tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances.
Advertising:
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $1,733 and $4,679 for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice surrounding how
public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that registrants
quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate whether
either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative
factors are considered, is material. We implemented SAB 108 as of December 31, 2006. The adoption
of SAB 108 did not have an impact on our financial statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum
probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is
recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position that is more likely not
to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution on any
related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax
benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is estimated to be
greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be
applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN
48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the
year of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for us January 1, 2007. We are currently assessing the
potential effect of FIN 48 on our financial statements, but preliminary analysis shows the effect
to be immaterial.
Financial Statement Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statements in order for them to
conform to the 2006 financial statement presentation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company is a going
concern, which assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, the
Company experienced a $2,756,724 deficiency of cash from operations in 2006 and lacks sufficient
liquidity to continue its operations.
On November 30, 2006, the Company closed a private offering of Common Stock and Notes which grossed
$5,210,000 and produced net proceeds of $3,306,042, from which the Company will use to fund its
operations (See Note 19). When its operations require additional financing, if the Company is
unable to obtain it on reasonable terms, the Company will be forced to restructure, file for
bankruptcy or cease operations.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Continuation of the Company as a going
concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations. Managements plans to achieve
profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to
existing customers. Management is seeking to raise additional capital through equity issuance,
debt financing or other types of financing. (See Note 22). However, there are no assurances that
sufficient capital will be raised.

NOTE 6 GOODWILL:
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, previously recognized
intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives were tested by management for impairment
during fiscal 2006. An annual goodwill impairment test was performed by management in addition to
quarterly goodwill impairment tests. The impairment tests consisted of a comparison of the fair
value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. Since the carrying amount of the
intangible asset did not exceed its fair value, management concluded no impairment loss was
required to be recognized.

Amortization expense in 2006 and 2005 amounted to $4,250 and $7,387, respectively. In December
2004, the Company wrote off $6,504 of the cost of their Patents due to an exclusive licensing
agreement the Company had with one of its shareholders for their single phase technology. On April
30, 2005, the Company canceled this exclusive licensing agreement in exchange for preferred stock
and wrote up the cost of the Patent for $6,504 (See Notes 13 and 18).
During 2006, the Company capitalized approximately $22,000 in expenses related to a provisional
patent filing. The Company will begin amortizing these costs over the life of the patent, once the
patent is approved by the appropriate authorities.
Amortization expense expected in the succeeding five years is as follows:

NOTE 8 CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISKS:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk,
consist primarily of cash and temporary cash investments and accounts receivables.
The Company maintains cash balances which at times may be in excess of the insured limits.
Sales and accounts receivable currently are from a relatively small number of customers of the
Companys products. The Company closely monitors extensions of credit.

NOTE 10 PROVISION FOR TAXES:
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has available, on a federal tax basis, net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15,900,000 and $10,900,000, respectively. These net
operating losses expire at varying amounts through 2026. The net operating loss carryforwards
result in deferred tax assets of approximately $5,400,000 and $3,700,000 at December 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively; however, a valuation reserve has been recorded for the full amount due to the
uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
Share Based Compensation Payments:
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the net issuance of
5,587,500 stock options to directors, officers and employees. During the year ended December 31,
2005, the Board of Directors authorized the net issuance of 11,250,000 stock options to officers,
employees and consultants (of which 1,952,369 expired or have been cancelled during 2005). The
fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants: expected
volatility of 100% and 166% for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively; risk-free
interest rate of 4.5% for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005; and expected lives of
approximately 10.0 years.
Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock options under the intrinsic method of APB
No. 25, and presented fair value disclosure as pro forma as provided by SFAS No. 123, as permitted
under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Beginning in 2006,
the Company accounted for employee stock options as compensation expense, in accordance with SFAS
No. 123R, Share Based Payments. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of
employee stock options and similar awards for periods beginning after December 15, 2005, and
applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards at a companys adoption date. Results
from prior periods have not been restated in the Companys historical financial statements.
In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on
the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest
rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair value of share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result,
if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Companys stock-based
compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is
required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares
expected to vest. In estimating the Companys forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical
forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a

Patent License Agreements:
The Company was an exclusive licensee pursuant to a patent license agreement of certain power
factor controller technology owned by the United States, as represented by the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA). This license agreement covered the United States of America and
its territories and possessions on an exclusive basis and foreign sales on a non-exclusive basis.
Such license agreement did not require the Company to pay royalties to NASA in connection with the
Companys sale of products employing technology utilizing the licensed patents. The agreement
terminated on December 16, 2002 upon the expiration of all of the licensed patents. The Company
filed and received its own patent (No. 5.821.726) that expires in 2017 that management believes
will protect the Companys intellectual property position.
During 2004, the Company gave an exclusive license of its patent for single phase technology to one
of its shareholders. During 2004, the Company wrote off the costs associated with obtaining the
patent for the single phase technology. On April 28, 2005, the Company issued 180,723 shares if
its series A-1 convertible preferred stock and 75,000 warrants to the shareholder in consideration
for the shareholders cancellation of the licensing agreement with the Company (See Note 18). As a
result, the Company will receive 100% of the benefits of future sales of the single-phase products.
On July 8, 2005 the 180,723 shares of series A-1 convertible preferred stock was converted into
150,000 shares of the Companys common stock.

Litigation:
Presently, the Company is not involved in any litigation. On October 17, 2005, the Company settled
litigation with the owner of the Companys former office space in Livonia, Michigan. The Company
vacated these facilities in 2004. Under the settlement, the Company paid its former landlord
$50,000 in cash on October 17, 2005, and agreed to pay the former landlord an additional $50,000 in
18 monthly installments of $2,778 (See Note 16). After application of the Companys accrued loss
contingency reserve, it recognized a loss of approximately $65,000 on its December 31, 2005
financial statements.
Subcontractors:
During 2005, the Company utilized one subcontractor in Michigan and one subcontractor in Nevada as
turn-key manufacturers for its product. On March 15, 2006, the Company terminated its agreement
with its Livonia, Michigan Subcontractor and began moving its entire inventory out of that
subcontractors warehouse to the Companys Las Vegas, Nevada subcontractor. The Company presently
plans to use the Las Vegas, Nevada subcontractor as its sole manufacturer for its product. The
subcontractor provides facilities, component purchasing, equipment, supervision and labor required
to assemble, wire, check, test, package and ship the product. The subcontractor is hired on an as
needed basis to produce a minimum number of units via a purchase order. The Company does not incur
any liabilities to the subcontractor until purchase orders are issued and fulfilled by the
subcontractor. Several purchase orders, totaling approximately $4,200, were issued or outstanding
to subcontractor at December 31, 2006, for sales to be delivered in 2007. The Company owns the
intellectual property rights and all specifications to the product, and believes many manufacturers
in the United States and abroad could manufacture the Companys product with little difficulty.
The Company directly sources its own circuit boards from a contract circuit board manufacturer.
Over the past year, the Company has primarily sourced circuit boards from RMF Design and
Manufacturing (RMF), based outside of Toronto, Canada. The Company believes RMF has the ability
to meet the Companys production needs and the Company would be successful in finding alternative
manufacturers should RMF not be available to manufacture our product.

The Company entered into an agreement with a registered securities broker dealer in February, 2004.
The broker dealer served as the Companys placement agent for the issuance of $1,464,806 and

NOTE 18 ISSUANCE OF SERIES A-1 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK:
As of January 1, 2004, 3,328,737 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were issued
and outstanding to Summit Energy Ventures, LLC, an entity that is on of the Companys principal
stockholders and is owned by the Companys Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer and
Chief Operating Officer. Pursuant to the original issuance of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred
Stock in June 2002, the Company has asked for and received on October 11, 2004, a waiver of certain
anti-dilution rights so that the issuance of up to a specific number of options and warrants with
exercise prices of no less than $0.65 per share will not trigger these anti-dilution rights. Had
the waiver not been received, in the event that the Company issues shares at a price less than
$1.281 per share, the conversion rights of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock would have
been adjusted so that the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock can convert into such number of
shares that Summit would have received had it bought common stock at such lower price.
Furthermore, the conversion rights of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock would also have
been adjusted in the event that any shares, warrants, options or promissory note is issued with a
price or conversion price less than $1.281 per share.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
In the event of a Liquidation Event, the holders of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled to two times the price paid by Summit for such stock. Thereafter, the remaining corporate
assets would be distributed among the holders of common stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred
Stock on a pro rata basis. The existence of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stocks
anti-dilution provisions may reduce the percentage of common stock held by the public stockholders.
Furthermore, the terms on which the Company could obtain additional capital may be adversely
affected by the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stocks anti-dilution provisions and superior
liquidation preference.
On June 7, 2004, Summit Energy Ventures notified the Company that it had transferred 1,747,587 of
the Companys Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,645,404 of the Companys common stock to

DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
Two convertible notes (the Bridge Notes) issued by the Company, to Summit Energy Ventures, LLC,
on June 9, 2005 and June 16, 2005, in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000, were converted
into 1,500,000 shares of common stock and 750,000 Investor Warrants, on the same terms as those
offered to investors in the JS Offering and no commissions, fees or securities were issued to the
Placement Agent in connection with such conversion.
In conjunction with the JS Offering, the Company entered into an agreement with the Placement Agent
(the Placement Agency Agreement). The Placement Agency Agreement requires, among other things,
the Company to pay certain fees related to the JS Offering; provides the Placement Agent a right of
first refusal to manage any private or public offering of equity securities of the Company, under
certain defined conditions, for a period of one year after the JS Offering; requires the Company to
enter Lock-Up Agreements (as defined below) with all of the Companys directors, officers and
significant shareholders; grants the investors in the JS Offering and the Placement Agent certain
registration rights, which require the Company to register their common stock as well as the common
stock underlying the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants through filing a registration
statement within sixty (60) days of closing the Offering, and make the registration statement
effective (the Effective Date) within one hundred and twenty days (120) of closing the JS
Offering; and grants the common stock, Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants issued
through the JS Offering weighted average anti-dilution protection for subsequent issuances of
common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) at less than the Common Stock Purchase
Price.
On various dates preceding July 8, 2005, the Company entered into lock-up agreements (the Lock-Up
Agreements) with all of the Companys officers, members of the board of directors and shareholders
that held, prior to the JS Offering, more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Companys common
stock. Specifically, the persons and companies entering Lock-Up Agreements with the Company
included: Nicholas Anderson, Leonard Bellezza, John (BJ) Lackland, Rick Pulford, Raymond Skiptunis,
Steven Strasser, Commerce Energy Group, and Summit Energy Ventures LLC. The Lock-Up Agreements
restrict all of these persons and companies from selling any shares of common stock for a period of
twelve months from the Effective Date (the Lock-Up Period); provided, however, that the Lock-Up
Period shall terminate if at any time after the date which is ninety days after the Effective Date,
the 20-day average of the closing bid price of the shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board
exceeds two hundred percent of the Common Stock Purchase Price of $0.20, or $0.40.

NOTE 20 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
SFAS No. 107 Disclosure About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure
of fair value information about financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair
value because of their short term nature. The carrying amounts of notes payable and longer term
debt approximates fair value because those financial instruments bear interest at rates that
approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality. None of
these financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
NOTE 21 401(K) RETIREMENT PLAN:
On August 1, 2006, the Company adopted a 401(k) retirement plan (the 401(k) Plan). The 401(k) Plan

must use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective not later than 120

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Companys certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of the directors of
the Company shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7)
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL
generally provides that no director shall be liable personally to the Company or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that the certificate of
incorporation does not eliminate the liability of a director for (1) any breach of the directors
duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or that
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) acts or omissions in respect of
certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases; or (4) any transaction from
which such director derives an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to
eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders to recover monetary damages against a
director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches
resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in
clauses (1) through (4) above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect the
ability of the Company or its stockholders to seek nonmonetary remedies, such as an injunction or
rescission, against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty.
In addition, the certificate of incorporation provides that the Company shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant
to Section 145 of the DGCL. In general, Section 145 of the DGCL permits the Company to indemnify a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or, when so serving at the Companys request,
another company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceedings
because of his or her position, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The Company maintains a directors and officers liability insurance policy covering certain
liabilities that may be incurred by any director or officer in connection with the performance of
his or her duties and certain liabilities that may be incurred by the Company, including the
indemnification payable to any director or officer. The entire premium for such insurance is paid
by the Company.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
