TORVEC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(a development stage company)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2007
Note A — The Company and Basis of Presentation
The interim information contained herein with respect to the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period from September 25, 1996 (inception) through March 31, 2007 has not been audited but was prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and instructions for 10-Q and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for financial statements. Included are ordinary adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, and since inception. The results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
Torvec, Inc. (the “company”) was incorporated as a New York State business corporation on September 25, 1996. The company, which is in the development stage, has developed production-ready automotive technology for use in automotive applications. The company has developed and intends to commercialize its infinitely variable transmissions, its pump/motors, its Iso-Torque differential, its constant velocity joint and the substructure and components of its full terrain vehicle.
On November 29, 2000, the company acquired Ice Surface Development, Inc. (“Ice”) which had been incorporated in May 2000 for 1,068,354 shares of common stock valued at approximately $3,405,000. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. On March 31, 2002, the company granted to three former officers of the company 28% of Ice in exchange for previously granted fully vested options (See Note C). The exchange was valued at $618,000 and the carrying portion of the company’s investment deemed sold of $850,000 is reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity (capital deficit).
The company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. For the period from September 25, 1996 (inception) through March 31, 2007, the company has accumulated a deficit of $45,878,000, and at March 31, 2007 has a negative working capital position of $1,473,000 and a capital deficit of $1,282,000. The company has been dependent upon equity financing and advances from stockholders to meet its obligations and sustain operations. The company’s efforts have been principally devoted to the development of its technologies and commercializing its products. Management believes that based upon the company’s current cash position, its budget for business operations through March 31, 2008 and an outstanding commitment from a director/officer to fund any deficiencies which may arise, the company will be able to continue operations through March 31, 2008. The company’s ability to continue as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon achieving profitable business operations and generating sufficient cash flows from operations to meet future obligations.
On January 25, 2007, the company’s stockholders approved an increase in common shares the company is authorized to issue from 40,000,000 to 400,000,000.
Note B — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
[1] Consolidation:
The financial statements include the accounts of the company, its majority-owned subsidiary, Ice (69.26% owned at March 31, 2007 and 2006), and its wholly owned subsidiary Iso-Torque Corporation. All material intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
[2] Property and Equipment:
Equipment, including a prototype vehicle, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over shorter of lease term or useful life.

Note B — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
[3] Research and development and patents:
Research and development costs and patent expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
[4] License:
Charges for amortization in the three month period ended March 31, 2006 was $214,000. Such amortization expense was included in research and development expense. In December, 2006, the company concluded that there was an impairment of the Ice technology and has written off the remaining balance of $1,071,000 in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
[5] Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates are used in valuing the useful lives of its intangible assets and the future realizable value of such assets. These estimates are subject to a high degree of judgment and potential change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
[6] Loss per common share:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” requires the presentation of basic earnings per share, which is based on common stock outstanding, and dilutive earnings per share, which gives effect to options, warrants and convertible securities in periods when they are dilutive. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the company excluded 4,471,536 and 2,971,536 potential common shares, respectively, relating to convertible preferred stock outstanding, options and warrants from its diluted net loss per common share calculation because they are anti-dilutive.
[7] Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amount of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, notes payable, advance from stockholder and accrued expenses approximates their fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
[8] Stock-based compensation:
In December 1997, the Board of Directors of the company approved a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) which provides for the granting of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, pursuant to which officers, directors, key employees and key consultants/advisors are eligible to receive incentive, nonstatutory or reload stock options. Options granted under the Plan are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from date of grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair value on date of grant, except that the exercise period of options granted to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the outstanding capital stock may not exceed five years and their exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair value of the common stock at date of grant. Options may vest over five years.

Note B — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
[8] Stock-based compensation: (continued)
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share Based Payment.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized. In addition, the realization of tax benefits in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes will be recognized as a financing activity in accordance with SFAS 123R.
No tax benefits were attributed to the stock-based compensation expense because a valuation allowance was maintained for substantially all net deferred tax assets. We follow the alternative method of calculating the historical pool of windfall tax benefits as permitted by FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS 123R, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.” This is a simplified method to determine the pool of windfall tax benefits that is used in determining the tax effects of stock compensation in the results of operations and cash flow reporting for outstanding awards.
[9] Revenue recognition:
Revenue in connection with the granting of a license to Variable Gear LLC is to be recognized when all conditions for earning such fee is complete. Revenue will be recognized when the related products are shipped, title has passed, collections are reasonably assured and the company has no further obligation. An allowance for discounts and returns will be taken as a reduction of sales within the same period the revenue is recognized. Such allowances will be based on facts and circumstances.
[10] Recent accounting Pronouncements:
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the beginning of the company’s 2008 fiscal year. The company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the company’s financial position and results of operations.
In February, 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS no. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 may have on our financial position and results of operations.

NOTE C — LICENSE FROM THE TRUSTEES OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE
On November 28, 2000, Ice entered into a 20-year exclusive license with the Trustees of Dartmouth College (“Dartmouth”) for land-based applications to a novel ice adhesion modification system developed by Dr. Victor Petrenko at Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering. The license agreement provided for a single payment of $140,000 (paid in 2000) for sponsored research and a royalty of 3.5% based on the value of net sales of licensed product with minimum annual payments of $10,000 for the first two years, $15,000 for the third year and $25,000 per year thereafter. In addition, the agreement provides for the payment of 50% of sub-license fee income.
Expense for the above agreements totaled $5,750 and $5,750 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. While in management’s opinion, the carrying value of the license has been impaired, the company’s obligations under the license remain in effect until such time as the license shall have terminated in accordance with its terms. See Note B [4].
NOTE D — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
[1] Commencing January 1, 2004, the Gleasmans entered into an arrangement with the company to provide consulting services and assign new patents, existing patent improvements and all know-how in connection with all their inventions to the company on a noncompensated basis. In addition, Keith E. Gleasman will continue to serve as President and as a director and James Y. Gleasman will serve as Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and as a director, again on a noncompensated basis. In accordance with this arrangement, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the company did not pay the Gleasmans any consulting fees for their services. The company recorded approximately $75,000 for the estimated value of these services for each of these periods as a contribution to capital based upon approved time and hours spent and recorded $50,000 to research and development and $25,000 to general and administrative for the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively.
[2] During the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the company paid $18,500 and $11,040 to a member of the Gleasman family for administrative, technological and engineering services rendered as a consultant. Management believes the rate of compensation is reasonable.
NOTE E — ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES

[10] | | Shares Issued for Future Consulting Services |
|
| | On September 17, 2005, certain consultants created a trust to enable them to sell business consultants shares issued to them by the company under their consultant agreements. The company issued 50,000 business consultant shares valued at $102,000 on September 27, 2005, contingent on the performance by the consultants of future services under such consultant agreements. The company fair values the shares issued to the trust using the closing market price of the company’s common stock on the date immediately prior to the date of issuance. No shares were sold in the trust during the 2005 calendar year. |
|
| | During the calendar year ended December 31, 2006, the company issued an aggregate 160,000 business consultant common shares valued in the aggregate at $419,000 to satisfy the payment of invoices submitted by the consultants for services rendered. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the trustee sold an aggregate 199,260 business consultant common shares for aggregate proceeds of $498,990 and distributed the proceeds from the trust to the consultants in accordance with the trust’s terms. |
|
| | No business consultant common shares were issued to the trust for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. For the three month period ending March 31, 2007, the company issued 10,000 business consultant common shares valued in the aggregate at $44,500 to satisfy invoices submitted by the consultants for services rendered. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the trustee sold 22,504 and 103,100 business consultant common shares and distributed $107,242 and $49,663 from the trust to the consultants in accordance with the trust’s terms. |
|
| | The company’s payment obligations with respect to the consultant agreements are met once it has issued shares to the trust in accordance with directives received from the consultants and the consultants, not the company, bear the risk of loss in the event the proceeds of stock sales by the trustee are less than the value of the stock contributed to the trust by the company on the date of contribution. |

[11] | | Commercializing Event Plan |
|
| | On October 13, 2006, the board of directors adopted a Commercializing Event Plan (“Event Plan”) designed to reward the company’s directors, executives and certain administrative personnel for the successful completion of one or more commercializing events. Currently, eight people participate in the Event Plan. Under the Event Plan, if a commercializing event occurs, each participant will receive 50,000 business consultants common shares for each one of the technologies commercialized. If a second commercializing event occurs with respect to the same technology, each participant will receive an additional 25,000 business consultants common shares. No additional shares are issuable for any additional commercializing event for the same technology. Under the Event Plan, this commercializing event sequence applies separately to each of the company’s eight automotive technologies. |
|
| | In the event the entire company was to be acquired by a third party, regardless of the manner of acquisition, each participant would receive 400,000 business consultants common shares upon the consummation of the transaction. This feature of the Event Plan operates independently of the feature whereby each participant receives shares for a first or second commercializing event. Thus, under the Event Plan, it is possible for each participant to receive up to 1,000,000 business consultants common shares if each and every patented automotive invention was the subject of both a first and second commercializing event (8x75,000 shares) and then, subsequent to and independent of such events, the entire company were to be sold. |
|
| | No shares have been issued under the Event Plan since its inception through the three month period ended March 31, 2007. |

Note I — Management Agreement
On February 20, 2004 the company entered into an agreement with a management-consulting firm to develop and implement a business plan to commercialize its full terrain vehicle. Upon execution of the agreement, the company granted 15,306 business consultants common shares to pay a one-time fee of $75,000 charged by the firm for attendance at the company’s annual shareholders meeting. Pursuant to the February 20th agreement, the company issued 28,792 common shares in monthly fees and granted an aggregate 620,000 warrants, of which 153,600 were exercised during 2004. The parties terminated the February 20, 2004 agreement with respect to all its terms and intended to replace it with a new agreement pursuant to which the management of the company was to be taken over by the management consulting firm through the provision of individuals to serve as the company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chairman of its board of directors. The company intended that this new agreement between the parties would be for an initial term of 24 months and be renewed for additional 24 month periods unless either party provided notice to the other party at least sixty days prior to the end of the term. In the light of certain of its members’ new roles and significant added responsibilities, the management consulting firm was to be compensated at the monthly rate of $50,000, plus 20,000 warrants exercisable at $.01 per common share. In lieu of such payment, upon the happening of a revenue producing event, the company would be obligated to grant 40,000 warrants per month, exercisable at $.01 per common share. In furtherance of the intent of the parties with respect to this new agreement, the company granted 200,000 warrants on August 20, 2004 to the management consulting firm and recorded a charge of $1,191,000 in connection with the issuance of the warrant. The parties intended that the new agreement was to provide for certain additional success and other fees payable to the management consulting firm in the form common shares and warrants for common shares.
Under the February 20th agreement with the management consulting firm, the company had been obligated to grant warrants exercisable at $.01 per common share based upon a formula if the closing bid price of the company’s common stock was equal to or greater than $5.00 per share (“equity incentive provision”). In connection with this obligation the company granted 500,000 warrants with a fair value of $2,972,000 during the second quarter of 2004 as a result of the stock price exceeding $5.00 per share. The company recorded a charge of $444,000 respectively for these warrants for the year ended December 31, 2005.
At its meeting held June 9, 2004, at which meeting approval of certain salient terms of the new agreement to replace the terminated February 20th agreement was supposed to have been given, the board of directors specifically considered and rejected the equity incentive provision and, in lieu thereof, voted to increase the consulting firm’s success fee from 3% to 8%. Thus, the new agreement, as approved by the board, was not to contain the equity incentive provision. On August 11, 2004, the board, now chaired by a member of the management consulting firm, voted unanimously to approve the minutes of the June 9, 2004 board meeting, which minutes reflected the board’s unequivocal rejection of the equity incentive provision. The August 11, 2004 board meeting was attended additionally by two members of the management consulting firm in their capacities as chief executive officer and chief financial officer.
On April 12, 2005 the board voted to terminate the agreement it believed it had approved on June 9, 2004 at the specific request of the management consulting firm due to such firm’s internal reorganization. At the same meeting, the board approved a continuation of the relationship with the reorganized management consulting firm based upon the same terms as had been approved at the June 9, 2004 board meeting.
Upon its creation on July 8, 2005, the executive committee of the board of directors reviewed the text of agreements between the company and the management consulting firm, dated June 30, 2004 and April 12, 2005, as such agreements had been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to certain of the company’s periodic reports. The committee discovered that, despite board rejection of the equity incentive provision, both agreements, as filed, contained an equity incentive provision.

Note I— Management Agreement (continued)
Based upon its comprehensive analysis of the circumstances surrounding the negotiation and execution of the June 30th and April 12th agreements, including the contents of a report furnished to it by an independent special counsel engaged by it, the committee concluded that the board of directors had never approved either agreement since each contained the specifically-rejected equity incentive provision. Consequently, after consultation with independent special counsel, the executive committee concluded that the agreements are null and void from inception and is withdrawing the June 30th and April 12th agreements from the exhibits deemed filed with the Commission as part of this report.
As stated, the company does not believe the June and/or the April agreements are valid. However, to the extent a court of applicable jurisdiction finally determines that the agreements, or any portion of them, are valid, the company has provided formal notice to the management consulting firm that, in accordance with the agreements’ terms, such agreements have been terminated effective June 30, 2006.

Note J– Litigation
On September 30, 2005, the company filed a declaratory judgment action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the Seventh Judicial District seeking that Court’s (the “lower Court”) determination that the June and/or April agreements with the management consulting firm are null and void and unenforceable as against the company, its officers and directors. See Note I.
On February 1, 2006, the company moved for an order granting summary judgment in favor of the company and for such other and further relief as the lower Court deems just and proper. The company’s motion is based upon its contention that specific provisions of the purported agreements unduly restrict the right of the board to manage the company’s affairs and, therefore, the agreements are null and void. The provisions require that James and Keith Gleasman, as directors and stockholders of the company, vote their shares and vote as directors to perpetuate certain members of the management consulting firm as directors and officers of the company.
On April 27, 2006, the lower Court dismissed the company’s summary judgment motion as to the illegality of the agreements. In addition, the lower Court granted the management consulting firm’s motion for summary judgment as to a limited number of counterclaims brought against the company solely with respect to the February 20th agreement. On May 8, 2006, the lower Court entered a judgment and order directing the company to honor the exercise of two warrants (under both the February and June agreements) which had previously presented to the company for an aggregate 40,000 common shares and, in addition, grant a warrant to the management consulting firm for 245,000 common shares under the contested equity incentive provision, exercisable at $.01 per common share. The lower Court also ordered the company to honor the approximately 511,200 additional warrants previously granted to the firm under the contested June and April agreements if and to the extent such firm exercised such warrants.
As stated, the lower Court’s May 8, 2006 judgment and order directed the company to issue to the management consulting firm an aggregate 40,000 common shares, grant an additional warrant for 245,000 common shares and honor the approximately 511,200 warrants previously issued to such firm upon their exercise. On June 16, 2006, the lower Court granted the company’s request to stay the terms of its May 8, 2006 judgment and order, conditioned upon the deposit of the 40,000 shares and 245,000 warrants with the Monroe County Clerk and further conditioned upon the deposit of $250,000 in escrow with the Monroe County Treasurer. The company complied with both conditions on June 19, 2006 and, therefore, the stay became effective.
Compliance with the lower Court’s May 8, 2006 order required the company to issue 40,000 shares of common stock and grant of 245,000 common stock warrants. Compliance with future adverse orders, if any, rendered by the lower Court similarly may require the issuance of additional shares of common stock, the issuance of additional warrants and/or the payment of damages. The 40,000 shares represent the number of warrants tendered for exercise by the management consulting firm, which the company had not honored upon presentation. The company has previously recorded a charge at the date of grant.
The 245,000 common stock warrants were fair valued and the company recorded a compensation charge of $629,000 as of the year ended December 31, 2006.
On May 9, 2006, the Company filed a notice of appeal with respect to the lower Court’s judgment, order and decision with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Fourth Department (“Appellate Court”).
On September 21, 2006, the company filed its brief with the Appellate Court to support its appeal. On October 23, 2006, the management consulting firm filed its answering brief with the Appellate Court to which the company replied on November 2, 2006.

Note J– Litigation (continued)
On March 16, 2007, the Appellate Court unanimously reversed the lower Court’s judgment, ruling that provisions of a contract requiring directors of a corporation to select and maintain certain individuals as corporate officers are void because they are in violation of New York Business Corporation Law section 701. The Appellate Court further determined that whether such illegal provisions unduly restricted the company’s board of directors is a question of fact. In addition, the Court stated that the lower Court abused its discretion by refusing to permit the company to amend its complaint to allege fraud in the inducement.
As a result of the Appellate Court’s decision, the company is entitled to rescind the issuance of 40,000 common shares and 245,000 common stock warrants to the management consulting firm. In addition, the company is no longer obligated to honor the approximately 511,200 common stock warrants registered to the management consulting firm, either in whole or in part, during the pendency of the dispute and may never be called upon to honor such warrants depending upon the outcome of a final adjudication of the dispute and/or the settlement of the case by the parties.
Pursuant to the lower Court’s order dated April 5, 2007, the company rescinded and cancelled the stock certificate for 40,000 common shares issued to the management consulting firm and rescinded and cancelled the 245,000 common stock warrants previously issued to such firm.
The company has commenced litigation against the same management consulting firm in the Supreme Court, Seventh Judicial District, alleging that the company has been damaged in excess of $6 million by such firm.

Since its acquisition of the ice technology license from Dartmouth College, the company has endeavored to work with Dr. Petrenko to refine the various methods for deicing and, during the same period, used its best efforts to sublicense such technology to one or more domestic and/or foreign glass manufacturers, automotive companies and other potential end-users. A considerable amount of the additional development work was performed at the Dartmouth College’s center for ice technology on the college’s campus, which work was supervised by Dr. Petrenko.
During the period beginning November 29, 2000 through to the year ending December 31, 2006, Dr. Petrenko’s efforts to develop the technology to where it would be capable of deicing large surface areas, such as the windshield of a car, truck and/or bus, appeared to be making steady progress. In addition, numerous companies, especially certain major glass manufacturers, continued to express relatively high interest in sublicensing the technology from the company or, at a minimum, provide dollars to the company to accelerate the development process. More specifically, within the past six to nine months, the company was engaged in serious sublicensing discussions with one domestic and an unrelated foreign glass company.
However, despite the company’s best efforts, no glass manufacturer or other third party has expressed continuing interest in sublicensing the technology from the company given its current stage of development. Moreover, no glass company or other third party apparently is willing to provide the company with the development dollars necessary to enable the technology, even utilizing the pulse method favored by Dr. Petrenko, to deice relatively large surfaces within acceptable automotive power requirements.
In December, 2006, the company was informed by Dr. Petrenko that while the physics underlying the ice technology is still valid and the technology remains promising, he can not estimate with any degree of assurance a time frame when the technology will be mature enough for automotive commercialization, although he does believe such maturation will not occur in the next twelve months.
Given Dr. Petrenko’s assessment with respect to the ice technology and the reticence of glass companies to either sublicense or provide the company with development dollars, management has concluded that the carrying amount of its Dartmouth College license as of December 31, 2006 ($1,071,000) exceeds the estimated discounted cash flows the company reasonably expects to receive for the twelve month period beginning January 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2007 and therefore, has determined that the full amount of such excess should be recorded as an impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Management has further determined that, while it will continue its non-monetary support of Dr. Petrenko’s work to further develop the technology, neither the company nor its majority-owned subsidiary, Ice Surface Development, Inc. (the entity holding the license) will make any further expenditure for such development. However, the company does not intend to abandon the technology and will continue to meet its obligations under the license respecting its allocable share of patent fees and its minimum royalty. Despite the accounting treatment accorded the license, the company will continue to offer the technology for sale to interested parties from time to time and will continue to include the deicing technology in presentations made and valuation reports furnished to third parties interested in acquiring the entire company.

(b)Current Status of Product Development
Each of the company’s automotive technologies, namely the full terrain vehicle ( including the steer drive, suspension system and high speed tracks), the generation III infinitely variable transmission, the IsoTorque differential and the constant velocity joint, have been researched, designed, developed, built, tested and refined to become production-ready. In this sense, the company is no longer “developing” its technologies. The company has satisfied itself that each of the technologies functions as it was designed to function and no further development is required to “prove” the functionality of the technologies.
The next phase will require that each of the company’s technologies be modified and adapted to accommodate the design specifications presented by automotive manufacturers, first-tier suppliers, municipalities, local, state and national governmental agencies and other end-users with whom the company has established working relationships and arrangements. That is, each technology must be made “design specific.” For example, the company presently has a working relationship with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to supply an electrically modified version of its generation III transmission and its IsoTorque differential for NASA’s lunar rover for that agency’s planned return to the moon. Since the moon’s lack of atmosphere does not lend itself to the use of hydraulics, the company had to adapt the transmission to utilize electricity as the variator to change its ratios.
Similarly, the company has been requested to provide a quotation to a major U.S. municipality for installation of its generation III transmission and IsoTorque differential in that municipality’s fleet of trucks and buses. This process entails reviewing the design, torque, sizing, durability and similar specifications for these vehicles as provided by the municipality and modifying the transmission and IsoTorque differential to meet such requirements.
As a further illustration, a large manufacturer is interested utilizing the company’s constant velocity joint, transmission and IsoTorque differential technology to enable the manufacturer qualify its vehicle design for a major production contract. This is requiring the company to analyze the vehicle design specifications provided to it by the manufacturer and adapt its technologies to meet the production contract’s requirements.
The company is presently engaged in making the modifications necessary to accommodate the vehicle specifications required by various end-users with whom the company has working relationships and/or arrangements. The company anticipates that additional end-users will be interested in pursuing similar-type working relationships with respect to the company’s automotive technologies.
After the company’s technologies have been validated with respect to specific end-user vehicle applications, it is anticipated that one or more end-users will enter into licensing agreements, supply contracts and/or similar arrangements resulting in the profitable commercialization of the company’s technologies. One or more end-users may also seek to acquire all of the company’s automotive technologies by an outright purchase of the company using cash, stock or a combination of stock and cash as the consideration for such purchase.
(c)Company Expenses
The net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 was $831,000 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2006 net loss of $861,000. The decrease in the net loss of $30,000 is principally related to decreases in research and development expenses.
Research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 amounted to $235,000 as compared to $397,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. This decrease of $162,000 is principally attributable to decreased costs associated with commercializing our technologies.
General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 amounted to $596,000 as compared to $472,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. This increase amounted to $124,000 and is principally due to the expensing of 50,000 warrants in the first quarter of 2007 compared to expensing 46,750 warrants in the first quarter of 2006. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, these warrants were value by utilizing the current market stock price at time of issuance and the Company recorded a charge of $249,000 and $91,000, respectively. There was also a decrease in other normal consulting expenses of $34,000 for the three month ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three month period ending March 31, 2006.
31
(d)Liquidity and Capital Resources
The company’s business activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2007 were funded principally through cash on hand as the result of the sale of 273,250 shares of Class A Preferred for $1,093,000 and sale of 55,000 shares of Class B Preferred for $274,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006. The company’s business activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2006 were funded principally through the sale of 58,250 Class A Preferred for $233,000.
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the company issued 45,977 and 140,065, respectively, shares to business consultants under its Business Consultants Stock Plan in exchange for ongoing corporate legal services, internal accounting services, business advisory services as well as legal fees and associated expenses for ongoing patent work and litigation. As of March 31, 2007 there are 4,920,652 shares available for future grants under the plan. The increase in the number of shares available under the plan as of March 31, 2007, is attributable to the approval by the company’s Board of Directors on October 13, 2006, to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the plan to 10,000,000.
James and Keith Gleasman have developed a working arrangement with the company that assures the company with continued access to the Gleasmans’ expertise without unduly burdening the company’s financial statements with the continuing expense of consulting fees. Under this arrangement, James and Keith Gleasman will continue to provide consulting services and assign new patents, existing patent improvements and all know-how in connection with all their inventions to the company. In addition, Keith Gleasman will continue to serve as president and as a director and James Gleasman will continue to serve as chief executive officer, interim chief financial officer and as a director.
For calendar 2007, each of the Gleasmans from time to time may sell, from his own personal holdings of Torvec, an average of approximately 500 common shares at prevailing market prices at the time of sale. The total number of shares sold under this plan, if shares were sold on a daily basis throughout the remainder of the 2007 year, would represent approximately 3% of the current Gleasman family holdings. No shares were sold by the Gleasmans under this plan for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the company’s cash position was $451,000 and $720,000, and the company had a working capital deficiency of $1,473,000 and $1,157,000. The company’s cash position at anytime during the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was directly dependent upon its success in selling Class A Preferred since the company did not generate any revenues. The company believes that current, ongoing discussions with governmental and private sector companies worldwide could very well create a significant revenue producing event during the 2007 calendar year. However, it can not predict when such a transaction will be consummated and therefore, the company does not know whether it will generate significant revenues from its business activities during the 2007 calendar year.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the company had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,712,000 and $1,686,000.
The company has an obligation to repurchase 51% of Variable Gear, LLC on January 1, 2008. The purchase price is equal to 51% of the then value of Variable Gear as determined by an independent appraiser selected by the parties. This liability can not be estimated at this time. We believe that a combination of cash flows from operations, financing and strategic alliances will produce sufficient cash flow to fund this obligation. The company is also exploring alternatives with Variable Gear, LLC to relieve the company of this obligation.
32
(e)Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Revenue in connection with the granting of the license to Variable Gear, LLC is to be recognized when all conditions for earning such fee is complete. Generally, revenue is only recorded when no future performance is required related to the item.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The company follows SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Accordingly, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the assets. Management is also required to evaluate the useful lives each reporting period. When events or circumstances indicate, our long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite useful lives, are tested for impairment by using the estimated future cash flows directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use of the assets. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, an impairment may be indicated. The carrying amount is then compared to the estimated discounted cash flows, and if there is an excess, such amount is recorded as an impairment. See management’s discussion of its determination that the carrying value of the company’s ice technology was impaired under SFAS No. 144 as of December 31, 2006 on page 31 of this quarterly report.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), regarding accounting for, and disclosure of, uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the beginning of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. The Company is assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In February, 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS no. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial position and results of operations.
(f)Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the company’s operations to date and management is currently unable to determine the extent inflation may impact the company’s operations during the three month period ended March 31, 2007.
(g)Quarterly Fluctuations
As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, the company had not engaged in significant revenue producing operations. Once the company actually commences significant revenue producing operations, the company’s operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of a variety of factors, including purchasing patterns of consumers, the length of the company’s sales cycle to key customers and distributors, the timing of the introduction of new products and product enhancements by the company and its competitors, technological factors, variations in sales by product and distribution channel, product returns, and competitive pricing. Consequently, once the company actually commences significant revenue producing operations, the company’s product revenues may vary significantly by quarter and the company’s operating results may experience significant fluctuations.
33
Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
At March 31, 2007, the company does not engage in investment activities and has no material, outstanding indebtedness that would subject it to commodity price and/or equity price market risk. The company does not engage in activities that would subject it to foreign currency exchange rate risk. On June 19, 2006, a shareholder advanced the company $250,000 by depositing the full amount with the Monroe County Treasurer in order to perfect a stay with respect to a lower Court order directing the company to transfer 40,000 common shares and 245,000 common stock warrants to a management consulting firm with which the company is in litigation. The company agreed to reimburse the shareholder on a current basis in cash for his interest expense, currently at a rate of 8.75% per annum. The rate is variable depending upon the prime rate while the advance remains outstanding and, thus, the company is subject to market risk with respect the amount of interest payable.
On March 16, 2007, the Appellate Court unanimously reversed the lower Court’s judgment against the company and, as a result, on April 5, 2007, the lower Court ordered the $250,000, less administrative expenses of $4,032, returned to the company. The company has repaid the full amount of the advance, $250,000, to the shareholder.

Item 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The company’s management, including the chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2007 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The company’s management, with the participation of the company’s chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer, has concluded that there were no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
35
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
Litigation
On September 30, 2005, the company filed a declaratory judgment action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the Seventh Judicial District seeking that Court’s (the “lower Court”) determination of the June and/or April agreements with the management consulting firm are null and void and unenforceable as against the company, its officers and directors.
On February 1, 2006, the company moved for an order granting summary judgment in favor of the company and for such other and further relief as the lower Court deemed just and proper. The company’s motion was based upon its contention that specific provisions of the purported agreements unduly restrict the right of the board to manage the company’s affairs and, therefore, the agreements are null and void. The provisions require that James and Keith Gleasman, as directors and shareholders of the company, vote their shares and vote as directors to perpetuate certain members of the management consulting firm as directors and officers of the company. The company’s motion was also based upon its view that the enforcement of the purported agreements would result in unjust enrichment since the company believes that the management consulting firm has not provided the services called for under the agreements and that the firm has already been paid far more than the value of the services actually rendered by it. In the company’s view, the management consulting firm, in effect, breached any relationship it may have had with the company by failing to perform the services it had promised it would perform for the company.
On April 27, 2006, the lower Court dismissed the company’s summary judgment motion as to the illegality of the agreements. In addition, the lower Court granted the management consulting firm’s motion for summary judgment as to a limited number of counterclaims brought against the company solely with respect to the February 20th agreement. On May 8, 2006, the lower Court entered a judgment and order directing the company to honor the exercise of two warrants (under both the February and June agreements) which had previously presented to the company for an aggregate 40,000 common shares and, in addition, grant a warrant to the management consulting firm for 245,000 common shares under the contested equity incentive provision, exercisable at $.01 per common share. The lower Court also ordered the company to honor the approximately 511,200 additional warrants previously granted to the firm under the contested June and April agreements if and to the extent such firm exercised such warrants.
On June 16, 2006, the lower Court granted the company’s request to stay the terms of its May 8, 2006 judgment and order, conditioned upon the deposit of the 40,000 shares and 245,000 warrants with the Monroe County Clerk and further conditioned upon the deposit of $250,000 in escrow with the Monroe County Treasurer. The company complied with both conditions on June 19, 2006 and, therefore, the stay became effective.
Compliance with the lower Court’s May 8, 2006 order required the company to issue 40,000 shares of common stock and grant of 245,000 common stock warrants. Compliance with future adverse orders, if any, rendered by the lower Court similarly may require the issuance of additional shares of common stock, the issuance of additional warrants and/or the payment of damages. The 40,000 shares represent the number of warrants tendered for exercise by the management consulting firm, which the company had not honored upon presentation. The company has previously recorded a charge at the date of grant. The 245,000 common stock warrants were fair valued and the company recorded a compensation charge of $629,000 as of the year ended December 31, 2006.
The company believes the lower Court’s May 8, 2006 judgment, order and decision contain numerous reversible errors and on May 9, 2006, the company filed a notice of appeal with respect to the lower Court’s judgment, order and decision with the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Fourth Department (“Appellate Court”).
On September 21, 2006, the company filed its brief with the Appellate Court to support its appeal. On October 23, 2006, the management consulting firm filed its answering brief with the Appellate Court to which the company replied on November 2, 2006.
36
On March 16, 2007, the Appellate Court unanimously reversed the lower Court’s judgment, ruling that provisions of a contract requiring directors of a corporation to select and maintain certain individuals as corporate officers are void because they are in violation of New York Business Corporation Law section 701. The Appellate Court further determined that whether such illegal provisions unduly restricted the company’s board is a question of fact. In addition, the Appellate Court stated that the lower Court abused its discretion by refusing to permit the company to amend its complaint to allege fraud in the inducement.
As the result of the Appellate Court’s decision, the company is entitled to rescind the issuance of 40,000 shares of common stock and 245,000 common stock warrants to the management consulting firm. In addition, the company is no longer obligated to honor the approximately 511,200 common stock warrants registered to the management consulting firm during the pendency of the dispute. Finally, the company will no longer be required to maintain a $250,000 escrow with the Monroe County Treasurer.
In effect, the Appellate Court determined that the company and the management consulting firm should be afforded the opportunity to litigate their various claims rather than having such claims accepted or rejected through the procedure of summary judgment. The company intends to pursue its claims against the management consulting firm vigorously.
Pursuant to the lower Court order dated April 5, 2007, the company rescinded and cancelled the stock certificate for 40,000 common shares issued to the management consulting firm and rescinded and cancelled the 245,000 common stock warrants previously issued to such firm.
The company has also filed a new lawsuit against the same management consulting firm in the Supreme Court, Seventh Judicial District, alleging that the company has been damaged in excess of $6 million by such firm. The company alleges that such harm was caused by the failure of the management consulting firm to fulfill its obligations to the company, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, conversion, unjust enrichment and by fraudulently inducing the company to enter into a series of purported agreements by which the management consulting firm was paid amounts far in excess of the benefits derived from its services. The company is demanding that the management consulting firm pay at least $6 million in damages to the company for the harm it has caused.
There is no other litigation involving the company. To the knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against the company.
Item 1A.Risk Factors.
