SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and basis of presentation
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Save the World Air, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K for scaled disclosures for smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2007 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $4,455,013 and a negative cash flow from operations of $1,486,606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and had a working capital deficiency of $2,741,700 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $2,584,759 at September 30, 2008. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Description of business
Save the World Air, Inc. (the "Company") is a green technology company that leverages a suite of patented, patent-pending and licensed intellectual properties related to the treatment of fuels. These technologies utilize either magnetic or uniform electrical fields to alter physical characteristics of fuels and are designed to create a cleaner combustion. Cleaner combustion has been shown to improve performance, enhance fuel economy and/or reduce harmful emissions in laboratory testing.
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on February 18, 1998 under the name Mandalay Capital Corp. The Company changed its name to Save the World Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999 following the purchase of the worldwide exclusive manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights for the ZEFS technology.
During the past several years, the Company has been acquiring new technologies, developing prototype products using the Company’s technologies and conducting scientific tests regarding the technologies and prototype products. The Company‘s ECO ChargR™ and MAG ChargR™ products, use fixed magnetic fields to alter some physical properties of fuel, by incorporating our patented and patent-pending ZEFS, MK IV technologies. When fitted to an internal combustion engine, these products are expected to increase power and improve mileage and may also reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrous oxide emissions and to. The Company also has developed certain products incorporating its CAT-MATE technology, although at this time the Company does not intend to devote significant effort to the commercialization of products incorporating the CAT-MATE technology.
The Company’s focus is on product development and marketing of proprietary devices that are designed to reduce harmful emissions, and improve fuel efficiency and engine performance on equipment and vehicles driven by internal combustion engines and has not yet generated meaningful revenues. The technologies are called “ZEFS”, “MK IV”, “ELEKTRA” and “CAT-MATE”. The Company is currently marketing its ECO and MAG ChargR products incorporating ZEFS and MK IV technologies in the United States and certain countries in Asia; and the Company is in the early stages of developing ELEKTRA products. Expenses have been funded primarily through the sale of company stock, convertible notes and the exercise of warrants.
The Company has taken actions to secure the intellectual property rights to the ZEFS, MK IV and CAT-MATE devices and is the worldwide exclusive licensee for patent pending technologies associated with the development of ELEKTRA.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Save the World Air, Inc. and Subsidiary include the accounts of Save the World Air, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary STWA Asia Pte. Limited. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation
20
License and research and development agreements with Temple University
The Company has entered into two License Agreements with Temple University, one covering Temple University’s current patent application concerning certain electric field effects on gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel particle size distribution, and the other covering Temple University’s current patent application concerning electric field effects on crude oil and edible oil viscosity, and any and all United States and foreign patents issuing in respect of the technologies described in such applications. Initially, the License Agreements are exclusive and the territory licensed to the Company is worldwide. Pursuant to the License Agreements, the Company will pay to Temple University (i) license fees in the aggregate amount of $250,000, payable in three installments of 100,000, the first installment of which was paid in March 2007, and $75,000 on each of February 2, 2008, which has not been paid, and February 2, 2009, respectively; and (ii) annual maintenance fees of $125,000 annually commencing January 1, 2008, which has not been paid. In addition, each License Agreement separately provides that the Company will pay royalties to Temple University on net sales of products incorporating the technology licensed under that License Agreement in an amount equal to 7% of the first $20 million of net sales, 6% of the next $20 million of net sales and 5% of net sales in excess of $40 million. Sales under the two License Agreements are not aggregated for purposes of calculating the royalties payable to Temple University. In addition, the Company has agreed to bear all costs of obtaining and maintaining patents in any jurisdiction where the Company directs Temple University to pursue a patent for either of the licensed technologies. Should the Company not wish to pursue a patent in a particular jurisdiction, that jurisdiction would not be included in the territory licensed to the Company.
The Company is in default in connection with its payment obligations under the License Agreements. On November 10, 2008, the Company received written notice from Temple University of a material breach relating to required payments under the License Agreements. The notice provides the Company with 60 days’ notice to cure the material breach. The Company’s failure to cure could result in a termination of the License Agreements. If the termination occurs, the Company estimates this would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and operations. Under the License Agreements the Company is subject to a penalty of 1% per month of the amounts due and unpaid under the License Agreements. At September 30, 2008, the Company estimates the penalty to be $15,250, and has accrued this in the accompanying financial statements.
The Company has also entered into a research and development agreement (R&D Agreement) with Temple University to conduct further research on the ELEKTRA technology. Under the R&D Agreement Temple University will conduct a 24-month research project towards expanding the scope of, and developing products utilizing, the technologies covered under the License Agreements, including design and manufacture of prototypes utilizing electric fields to improve diesel, gasoline and kerosene fuel injection in engines using such fuels and a device utilizing a magnetic field to reduce crude oil viscosity for crude oil (paraffin and mixed base) and edible oil flow in pipelines. Pursuant to the R&D Agreement, the Company will make payments to Temple University in the aggregate amount of $500,000, payable in eight non-refundable installments commencing with $123,750, which was paid in March 2007, and seven payments of $53,750 every three months thereafter until paid in full. The payments of $53,750 due in June, September, December 2007, March 2008, June 2008 and September 2008 have not been paid. The Company is in default under the R&D Agreement. On November 10, 2008, the Company received written notice of default from Temple University. The notice provides the Company with 60 days to cure the material breach. The Company’s failure to cure the breach could result in the termination of the R&D Agreement. If the termination occurs, the Company estimates this would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and operations. If the research project yields results within the scope of the technologies licensed pursuant to the License Agreements, those results will be deemed included as rights licensed to the Company pursuant to the License Agreements. If the research project yields results outside of the scope of the technologies covered by the License Agreements, the Company has a six-month right of first negotiation to enter into a new worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Temple University for the intellectual property covered by those results.
At September 30, 2008, the Company owed Temple University $537,750, which is included in accounts payable-Temple Univeristy. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded $59,750 and $376,500, respectively, of fees due to Temple University.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition” and therefore recognizes revenue based upon meeting four criteria:
● | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; | |
● | Delivery has Delivery has occurred or services rendered; | |
● | The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and | |
● | Collectability is reasonably assured. |
The Company contract manufactures fixed magnetic field products and sells them to various original equipment manufacturers in the motor vehicle and small utility motor markets. The Company negotiates an initial contract with the customer fixing the terms of the sale and then receives a letter of credit or full payment in advance of shipment. Upon shipment, the Company recognizes the revenue associated with the sale of the products to the customer.
21
Development stage enterprise
The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” All losses accumulated since the inception of the Company have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of finished goods.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain significant estimates were made in connection with preparing the Company’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-based compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF No. 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for employee and directors for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $599,754 and $45,774 respectively.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB finalized FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This Staff Position delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, considering the relative reliability of the inputs. The fair value hierarchy assigns the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of an input to the valuation that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Loss per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options of 4,301,225 and 4,203,238 respectively, and outstanding warrants of 11,676,034 and 18,798,227 have been excluded because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.
22
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, and an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” (SFAS No.161). SFAS No.161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This standard becomes effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier adoption of SFAS 161 and, separately, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption are encouraged. As SFAS No.161 only requires enhanced disclosures, this standard will have no impact on the Financial Statements
The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of the prior period amounts and presentation have been made to conform to the presentation adopted for the current period. The following reclassifications and presentation changes were made to the December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet to conform to the current period presentation: (a) the amounts previously presented for the Morale 2006 Note of $671,992 presented as Convertible Debenture, Net-Other - Default, (b) the Morale 2007 Note of $583,364 included with Convertible Debentures, Net-Other, (c) the Morale Loan of $20,334 presented as Loan Payable-Other, and (d) the fees due to Matthews of $472,762 included in Accounts Payable-Other were reclassified to the separate line item Loans and Other Payable Due to Morale/Matthews. These reclassifications have no effect on total assets, total shareholder's deficiency, net loss or cash flows as previously presented.
3. Certain relationships and related transactions
Loans from related parties
In May of 2007, a former officer and director of the Company loaned $31,404 to pay a Company obligation and in August 2007, the same party loaned $50,000 to the Company so that it could pay certain operating expenses. These amounts are unsecured, bear interest at 6% per annum and are due on demand. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the balance of these loans including interest was $77,209 and $83,596, respectively.
Lease agreement with related party
During 2003, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. (SGGC) to lease office space in North Hollywood, California for its principal executive offices. Bruce McKinnon, the former Chief Executive Officer and former Director of the Company, is a beneficial owner of the lessor.
In August 2005, the Company amended this sublease agreement. The original lease term was from November 1, 2003 through October 16, 2005 and carried an option to renew for two additional years with a 10 percent increase in the rental rate. Monthly rent under this lease is $3,740 per month under this lease. The Company exercised its option to renew the lease through October 15, 2007.
23
In January 2006, the Company further amended this sublease agreement, as a result of taking more space and obtaining expanded support services. The term of the sublease was amended to July 31, 2007 and carries an option to renew for two additional years with a 10 percent increase in the rental rate. Monthly rent is $6,208 per month under this amended sublease agreement. Additionally, the Company began leasing two additional office spaces for $964 per month beginning July 2006 on a month-to-month basis. The Company did not exercise its option to renew this sublease.
On July 12, 2007, SGGC presented to the Company a Three-Day Notice to Pay or Quit, demanding payment of unpaid rent, additional rent and penalties. On July 19, 2007, SGGC sued the Company in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging unlawful detainer by the Company of its then-leased corporate offices at 5125 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood, California, and failure to pay past due rent and penalties in the aggregate amount of $104,413, of which $103,069 was accrued by the Company at December 31, 2007. The Company vacated the premises on July 25, 2007.
On April 30, 2008 the Company and SGGC settled their pending litigation relating to the Company’s prior offices. The Company agreed to pay SGGC $51,000 in full settlement of SGGC’s claims. On May 28, 2008 the initial payment of $34,000 was made and on July 9, 2008 the final payment of $17,000 was made and the Complaint was dismissed, with prejudice. The Company recorded $52,069 as other income and as a reduction of accounts payable.

Morale had previously purchased two convertible promissory notes. Each note was for $612,500. One note was purchased December 5, 2006 (the “2006 Morale Note”) and another was purchased January 10, 2007 (the “2007 Morale Note”). The notes were unsecured, due one year from the date issued, had an implied interest rate of 22.5%, and warrants were issued with the notes. The aggregate purchase price for the notes and warrants was $1,000,000.
The 2006 Morale Note was convertible at the rate of $0.85 per share into 720,588 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the 2007 Morale Note was convertible at the rate of $0.70 per share into 875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant issued with the 2006 Note was exercisable at $0.85 per share, for 360,294 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant issued with the 2007 Morale Note was exercisable at $.70 per share, for 437,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.
As of January 31, 2008, both the 2006 and 2007 Morale Notes were in default. The note agreements provided if the notes are not paid when due, the principal balance shall be increased by 10% and the Company shall pay interest at 2.5% per month (30% per annum) until the note is paid. At January 31, 2008, the total amount due for the 2006 Morale Note and the 2007 Morale Note was $689,327 and $672,885 respectively.
In addition to the 2006 and 2007 Morale Notes, the Company borrowed $20,000 from Morale on October 30, 2007 (the “$20,000 Note”), at an interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Principal and accrued interest under the Morale Note is due on demand, and no payments there under have been made by the Company. At January 31, 2008, the Company was also indebted to Matthews $472,762 for past legal fee.
Effective January 31, 2008, the Company, Morale, and Matthews agreed to a settlement of the Company’s loans due Morale and fees due Matthews. Morale agreed to waive all accrued interest on the notes after January 31, 2008, and Morale and Matthews agreed to accept 7,421,896 shares of common stock of the Company as payment of the notes payable and fees.
On March 10, 2008, the Company issued 5,530,848 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2,101,722 to Morale for the conversion of the 2006 and 2007 Morale Notes (totaling $1,362,212) and cancellation of $20,000 Note. Also on March 10, 2008, the Company issued 1,891,048 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $718,598 to Matthews in exchange for settlement of the legal fees due Matthews of $472,762.
The fair value of the shares of common stock issued was determined to be $0.38 per share, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 31, 2008, for a total settlement of $2,820,320. As a result of the issuance of shares of common stock, the Company incurred additional non-cash interest expense of $719,510 and non-cash legal expense of $245,836 which was recorded in the first quarter of 2008.

The Company was unable to meet its obligations to file the Registration Statement required under the terms of the 2007 PIPE Offering in a timely manner. In early July 2007, the Company began discussions with Spencer Clarke, acting on behalf of the holders of the PIPE Notes and PIPE Warrants, for an extension of time to file the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding such discussions, Spencer Clarke issued a Notice of Default dated August 1, 2007 (the "Notice") to the Company for its failure to file the Registration Statement in a timely manner.
On August 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement with the 2007 PIPE note holders. The Modification Agreement was entered into as a result of negotiations between the Company and Spencer Clarke, LLC ("Spencer Clarke"), the Company's exclusive placement agent for the 2007 PIPE Offering, after the Company failed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in a timely manner a Registration Statement to register the shares of the Company's common stock into which the PIPE Notes are convertible and for which the PIPE Warrants may be exercised.
Pursuant to the Modification Agreement, the parties have agreed as follows:
● | Promptly, but no later than November 30, 2007 (instead of on or before July 2, 2007), the Company shall file the Registration Statement with the SEC to register the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. |
● | Effective August 1, 2007, the interest rate on the PIPE Notes shall be increased from 10% per annum to 18% per annum until such time as the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. |
● | The price at which the PIPE Notes may be converted into Conversion Shares (the "Conversion Price") shall be reduced from $0.70 to $0.45 per share. |
29
● | Each Investor shall receive, for no additional consideration, additional warrants ("Additional Warrants") in an amount equal to an additional 50% of the PIPE Warrants originally issued pursuant to the terms of the 2007 PIPE Offering. These Additional Warrants total 428,575 and shall have the same registration rights as are described in the Private Placement Memorandum dated January 12, 2007 (the "Offering Memorandum") used in connection with the 2007 PIPE Offering applicable to the PIPE Warrants; shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance; shall remain exercisable for a period of five years from the date of the Modification Agreement, on a cash basis only, at an initial exercise price of $0.45 per share; and shall, in all other respects, have the same terms and conditions, and be in the same form, as the PIPE Warrants. |
● | If the Company does not file the Registration Statement with the SEC by November 30, 2007, each Investor shall receive, for no additional consideration, warrants ("Delay Warrants") in an amount equal to an additional 50% of the PIPE Warrants originally issued pursuant to the terms of the Offering Memorandum. The Delay Warrants shall have the same registration rights as are described in the Offering Memorandum applicable to the PIPE Warrants; shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance; shall remain exercisable for a period of five years from the date of this Agreement, on a cash basis only, at an initial exercise price of $0.45 per share; and shall, in all other respects, have the same terms and conditions, and be in the same form, as the PIPE Warrants. |
The terms and conditions of the Offering Memorandum, the PIPE Notes and the PIPE Warrants, to the extent not expressly amended in the Modification Agreement, remain in full force and effect. The issuance of the Additional Warrants (“Delay Warrants”), if any, and the reduction of the Conversion Price of the PIPE Notes, has the potential to dilute the percentage ownership interest of the Company's existing shareholders.
The aggregate value of the 2007 PIPE Warrants issued in connection with this Modification Agreement were valued at $138,107 using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.43%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of common stock of 113.55%; and an expected life of two years (statutory term).
On November 30, 2007, the Company and the Investors entered into the Second Modification Agreement and pursuant to this agreement have agreed as follows:
● | The Investors have agreed to forgive all accrued interest on their PIPE Notes, from the date of issuance thereof through December 14, 2007. |
● | On December 14, 2007, the Company agreed to pay all Investors 50% of the principal amount of their original PIPE Notes which equals a total cash repayment of $200,000. Additionally, in repayment of the other 50% of the principal amount of the original PIPE Notes, the Company, on December 14, 2007, agreed to issue to Investors a total of 1,060,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”). |
● | Concurrently with the cash payment and the issuance of the Conversion Shares as noted in paragraph 2 above, the Investors agreed to deliver to the Company the original of the PIPE Notes, which will be marked and deemed cancelled and of no further force or effect. |
● | In further consideration of the above terms and conditions, the Investors have agreed that the Company shall not be required to, and shall not, file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities agency to register or qualify the PIPE Notes, the Conversion Shares, the PIPE Warrants, or any shares issuable pursuant to the PIPE Warrants (the Warrant Shares”). The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares when issued will be deemed restricted securities and bear appropriate legends. |
● | The terms and conditions of the PIPE Warrants, to the extent not expressly amended in the Second Modification Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect in furtherance of the terms and conditions set forth in the Modification Agreement. |
Payment of $200,000 was made by the Company in accordance with the Second Modification Agreement, the Original Notes were surrendered by the Investors and 1,060,000 shares of common stock were issued to the Investors on December 27, 2007. Included in interest expense is the excess of the cost to settle the obligation over the carrying value at the settlement date totaling $222,368.
The aggregate value of the 2007 PIPE warrants in connection with the Second Modification Agreement were valued at $116,913 using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.39%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of common stock of 116.75%; and an expected life of five years (statutory term).

9. Commitments and contingencies
Patent Infringement Claims by Jeffrey A. Muller
In April 2005, Jeffrey A. Muller, the Company’s former sole director and executive officer, filed a complaint against the Company in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and alleging unfair competition in connection with a claimed prior patent interest in the ZEFS device and stock option rights. In seeking declaratory relief, Mr. Muller is seeking to have the patent rights in the ZEFS device that were previously transferred to the Company by Mr. Muller’s bankruptcy trustee declared null and void.
This lawsuit brought by Mr. Muller arose out of the same claims that were the subject of litigation in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which the Court entered judgment against Mr. Muller. Those claims are pending further proceedings. While the Company believes that the Company has valid claims and defenses, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome on the pending motions or a trial of this case would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or cash flow.
Litigation Involving Scottish Glen Golf Company
We are involved in litigation with Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. (SGGC) doing business as KZ Golf, Inc., the Company’s previous landlord on claims in the aggregate amount of $104,413 of which $103,069 was accrued by the Company. STWA does not dispute the fact that certain amounts of unpaid past rent are due but does dispute that it owes the aggregate of $104,413 demanded by SGGC; more than half of which are purported “late fees” which was assessed at the rate of $100 per day. It is the company’s position that the late fees are void and unenforceable and that STWA is entitled to a set-off for office space that reverted back to SGGC.
While the Company believes that it has valid claims and defenses, given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome of this matter would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or cash flow. The Company believes that these claims arose from acts of a related party involving a former officer and director and his wife as a beneficial owners of SGGC.
Effective April 30, 2008 the Company and Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc., dba KZG settled their pending litigation relating to the Company’s prior offices. In the interest of avoiding further litigation costs and expenses, the Company and SGGC executed a “Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement effective April 30, 2008. and agreed to pay $51,000 for the settlement of this matter.
33
Upon settlement by the Company the Complaint was dismissed, with prejudice.
Employment agreement
Effective July 25, 2007, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Charles R. Blum to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Blum’s employment is for a one-year term, subject to automatic one-year extensions and provides for annual base compensation of $200,000 per year, subject to periodic review and adjustment. On July 25, 2008, Mr. Blum’s contract was automatically renewed for one additional year. In addition, Mr. Blum will receive an automobile allowance of $900 per month and four weeks of paid vacation annually. Also, Mr. Blum is entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans that the Company makes available to the Company’s employees generally; provided that if Mr. Blum elects not to participate in the Company’s group medical insurance plan, Mr. Blum will be reimbursed in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the premium the Company would have paid to include Mr. Blum as a participant in that group health insurance plan and (ii) the sums paid by Mr. Blum in connection with maintaining Mr. Blum’s private health insurance. The Company will also reimburse Mr. Blum the reasonable costs paid by Mr. Blum for maintaining DSL Internet access and other direct costs of maintaining an office at Mr. Blum’s home, but only until such time as the Company shall provide Mr. Blum with an office at a location reasonably acceptable to Mr. Blum.
Minimum guaranteed compensation payments under Mr. Blum’s employment agreement amounts to approximately:

The Company will also reimburse Spencer Clarke for expenses it incurs in connection with the performance of its services under the Consulting Agreement, provided that expenses in excess of $2,000 require the Company’s prior approval before such expenses may be incurred by Spencer Clarke.
On December 13, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to provide financial and marketing services. Compensation is to be paid on an hourly rate, half in cash and half in the Company’s common stock to be issued on the first day of the second month after services are provided.
On December 13, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to provide coordination services with various governmental agencies, in California for a fee of $2,500 plus 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
In September 2008, several consulting agreements were formalized providing for investor relation, marketing and related environmental issues, and stock options totaling 1,150,000 were issued under the 2004 Stock Option Plan.
Leases
In September 2005, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a testing facility located in Morgan Hill, California. The term of the lease was from September 1, 2005 through August 31, 2007 and carried an option to renew for two additional years at the then prevailing market rate. The rent was $2,240 per month under this lease. The lease was amended in February 2006 for additional space. The rent under the amended lease was $4,160 per month. The Company renewed this lease on August 9, 2007 for an additional two-year term. The rent is $4,640 per month for the first six months of the new term of the lease and $5,480 per month for the remaining eighteen months of the new term of the lease which expires on August 31, 2009.
In May 2008, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its administrative offices in Los Angeles, California. The term of the lease was for $3,000 per month from June 1, 2008 through November 30, 2008. From that point on, the lease is due on a month to month basis with rent payment increasing to $3,750.
Total rent expense under this leases for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, is $59,640 and $37,920, respectively. The following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental payments required under the non-cancellable operating leases as of September 30, 2008.

All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Overview
The following discussion and analysis of our condensed consolidated financial condition and condensed consolidated results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
We are a green technology company that leverages a suite of patented, patent-pending and licensed intellectual properties related to the treatment of fuels. Technologies patented by, or licensed to, us utilize either magnetic or uniform electrical fields to alter physical characteristics of fuels and are designed to create a cleaner combustion. Cleaner combustion has been shown to improve performance, enhance fuel economy and/or reduce harmful emissions in laboratory testing.
Our ECO ChargR™ and MAG ChargR™ products use fixed magnetic fields to alter some physical properties of fuel, by incorporating our patented and patent-pending ZEFS and MK IV technologies. We differentiate ECO ChargR and MAG ChargR products based on their differing attributes and marketing focus. ECO ChargR products are primarily designed to reduce harmful emissions and MAG ChargR products are primarily designed to enhance performance and fuel economy. Our ECO ChargR product is intended to reduce exhaust emissions in vehicle and small utility motors. ECO ChargR will be marketed primarily to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) as well as to pilot and government-mandated emissions programs. Our MAG ChargR product is intended to increase power and improve mileage. MAG ChargR will be marketed primarily to the specialty consumer accessories market for many types of vehicles, including but not limited to cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, all terrain vehicles (“ATVs”), snowmobiles, personal watercraft and small utility motors. On the other hand, because our ECO ChargR and MAG ChargR products are customized to specific brands, models and engine sizes, these products ultimately will require hundreds of individually developed parts, which can be expensive and time-consuming to produce. See “Our Technologies and Products” below.
Our first revenues have come from initial sales in Asia for our ECO ChargR product in the motorcycle industry. We plan on commencing sales of ECO ChargR to customers in the United States in the motorcycle industry in fourth quarter of 2008. We also plan on commencing initial sales of our MAG ChargR product in Asia and the United States in the automobile and motorcycle industry in the fourth quarter of 2008. See “Recent Developments” and “Sales and Marketing” below.
35
We have obtained a license from Temple University for their patent-pending uniform electric field technology, tentatively called ELEKTRA™. The ELEKTRA technology consists of passing fuel through a specific strong electrical field. Although ELEKTRA has a similar effect on fuels as our ZEFS and MK IV technologies, ELEKTRA incorporates a uniform electrical field principle. Based on our early research and product development, we believe that ELEKTRA carries certain advantages over our ZEFS and MK IV technologies, primarily not requiring as many variations for products incorporating the ELEKTRA technology compared to products incorporating the ZEFS or MK IV technologies. Preliminary testing conducted in Europe by an outside research and development facility indicates that ELEKTRA causes a significant change in some of the physical characteristics of the fuel, resulting in better atomization of the fuel and improved combustion.
We have also entered into a research and development agreement with Temple University to conduct further research on the ELEKTRA technology and magnetic technologies in general. Together with Temple University, we have developed prototype products using the ELEKTRA technology and we are continuing testing, and research and development. We are in the early stages of developing ELEKTRA products that, based on the previously mentioned preliminary testing, is intended to improve fuel economy and change fuel viscosity, and may improve performance and reduce emissions, depending upon the specific application. We are also working with Temple and several domestic and international corporations investigating applications of this technology to the transportation industry, oil refineries and pipelines, and OEMs. See “Our Technologies and Products” below.
We operate in a highly competitive industry. Many of our activities may be subject to governmental regulation. We have taken aggressive steps to protect our intellectual property.
There are significant risks associated with our business, our company and our stock.
We are a development stage company that generated its first initial revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006. Our expenses to date have been funded primarily through the sale of stock and convertible debt, as well as proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants. We raised capital in 2007 and will need to raise substantial additional capital in 2008, and possibly beyond, to fund our sales and marketing efforts, continuing research and development, and certain other expenses, until our revenue base grows sufficiently.
Our company was incorporated on February 18, 1998, as a Nevada corporation, under the name Mandalay Capital Corporation. We changed our name to Save the World Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999, following the acquisition of marketing and manufacturing rights of the ZEFS technologies. Our mailing address is 235 Tennant Avenue, Morgan Hill, California 95037. Our telephone number is (408)-778-0101. Our corporate website is www.stwa.com.

Results of Operations
We did not generate any revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 were $0 compared with revenues of $22,000 and cost of goods sold of $5,360 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.
Operating expenses were $1,148,887 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $873,971 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $274,916. This increase is attributable to an increase in non-cash expenses of $499,201 offset by a decrease in cash expenses of $224,285. The increase in non-cash expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in the fair value of options given to employees ($535,544) offset by decreases in depreciation ($36,343). The cash expense decrease is attributable to decreases in salaries and benefits ($227,142), corporate expenses ($18,495) and office and other expenses ($478), offset by increases in consulting and professional fees ($13,474), travel expenses ($6,361) and exhibits and trade shows ($1,995).
Operating expenses were $2,428,889 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3,177,533 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $748,644. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in cash expenses of $1,413,645, offset by an increase in non-cash expenses of $665,001. The decrease in cash expenses is attributable to decreases in salaries and benefits ($619,867), consulting and professional fees ($450,221), office and other expenses ($156,253), travel expenses ($87,505), corporate expenses ($68,567) and exhibits and trade shows ($31,232). The non-cash increase is attributable to increases in fair value of options and warrants given to employees and consultant ($553,980), professional fees (236,572) and bad debt ($1,380) offset by a decrease in depreciation ($126,931).
Research and development expenses were $109,822 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $98,427 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $11,395. This increase is mainly attributable decrease in product testing, research and supplies ($28,156) offset by decreases in contract fees ($7,347) and travel and related expenses ($9,414).
Research and development expenses were $432,184 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $539,610 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $107,426. This decrease is attributable to decreases in product testing, research and supplies ($105,563), consulting fees ($16,097), and travel and related expenses ($17,669) offset by an increase in contract fees ($31,903).
Other expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 were $220,430, compared to $645,454 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $425,024. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in non-cash interest expense ($428,640) offset by increase in cash interest expense ($1,304) and decrease in other income ($2,312).
36
Other expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 were $1,593,940, compared to $1,358,893 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $235,047. This increase is attributable to increases in non-cash interest expense ($321,164) and loss on sale of equipment ($9,683), offset by decrease in cash interest expense ($45,705) and increase in other income ($50,095).
We had a net loss of $1,479,139, or $0.03 per share, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $1,617,852, or $0.04 per share, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007. We had a net loss of $4,455,013, or $0.09 per share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $5,060,196, or $0.13 per share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. We expect to incur additional net loss in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, primarily attributable to continued operating and marketing-related expenditures without the benefit of any significant revenue for the remainder of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We have incurred negative cash flow from operations in the developmental stage since our inception in 1998. As of June 30, 2008, we have been funded primarily through the sale of convertible notes and issuance of our stock upon exercise of warrants.
The condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we had a net loss of $4,455,013 and a negative cash flow from operations of $1,486,606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and a stockholders’ deficiency of $2,584,759 as of September 30, 2008. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional funds, generate revenue and implement our business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Our current liabilities greatly exceed our assets and we are unable to meet our obligations as they become due. We face significant challenges in generating revenue and maintaining adequate working capital during the remainder of 2008 as a result of several factors. Among other things, to date our distributors, primarily located in Asia, have placed fewer orders than we had expected them to place under the terms of our distribution agreements with them. This resulted in our having less revenue and therefore less working capital available for the further development of our business at a time when the operating costs of our business have been increasing. We will require significant additional outside capital during 2008 in order to meet all of our obligations, produce products for sale and ship such products
Details of Recent Financing Transactions
Equity Arrangement
In September 2006, the Company entered into what is sometimes termed an equity arrangement with an investment banking firm. Under the arrangement the Company may sell (put) shares of common stock from time to time over a 36-month period, at a purchase price calculated at 97% of the lowest best closing bid for the Company’s common stock for the five trading days following the put notice. The Company may draw up to $10,000,000. Because the price of the common stock fluctuates and the number of shares of common stock that the Company may issue when the Company exercises the put will vary, the Company does not know how many shares, if any, will actually issue under the put. On October 6, 2006, the Company filed a Registration Statement which was effective October 30, 2006 which registered and made available 7,000,000 shares of common stock for possible future draws under the arrangement.
As of September 30, 2008 the Company has drawn down $1,372,150 ($1,262,378 net of closing costs) of this commitment and issued 2,367,905 shares of common stock, leaving 4,632,095 shares of common stock still available under the equity arrangement.
Morale Orchards, LLC
On December 5, 2006, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Morale, pursuant to which Morale purchased from the Company two (2) Convertible Promissory Notes, one dated December 5, 2006 (the “2006 Morale Note”), in the principal face amount of $612,500, and another, dated January 10, 2007 (the “2007 Morale Note”), also in the principal face amount of $612,500 (collectively, the “Morale Notes”), and two (2) warrants, one accompanying the 2006 Morale Note, and the other accompanying the 2007 Morale Note. Each warrant provides Morale the right to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The aggregate purchase price for the Morale Notes and Morale Warrants was $1,000,000, of which $500,000 was paid by Morale and received by the Company on or about December 5, 2006, and of which $500,000 was paid by Morale and received by the Company on or about January 10, 2007;
37
The 2006 Morale Note is convertible at the rate of $0.85 per share into 720,588 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the 2007 Morale Note is convertible at the rate of $0.70 per share into 875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock;
The 2006 Morale Warrant is exercisable at $0.85 per share for 360,294 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the 2007 Morale Warrant is exercisable at $.70 per share for 437,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Note Purchase Agreement provides, in pertinent part, that in the event the Company has not repaid each of the Morale Notes in full by the anniversary date of their issuances, the principal balances of each note shall be increased by ten percent (10%) and the Company shall pay interest at two and one-half percent (2Ѕ%) per month, compounded daily, for each month until each of the Morale Notes is paid in full.
Morale has piggy-back registration rights pursuant to which Morale may require the Company to include the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Morale Notes and exercise of the Morale Warrants in certain future registration statements the Company may elect to file.
The aggregate value of the Morale Warrants issued in connection with the January 10, 2007 purchase were valued at $118,955 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions; risk-free interest rate of 4.68%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of common stock of 245%; and an expected life of five years (statutory term) and vest over 180 days. The Company also determined that the notes contained a beneficial conversion feature of $231,455. The value of the Morale Warrants of $118,955, the conversion option of $231,455 and the transaction fees of $112,500 are considered as debt discount and are being amortized over the life of the Note
As of January 31, 2008, both the 2006 and 2007 Morale Notes were in default, and neither of the Morale Notes nor the Morale Warrants have been converted into shares of common stock of the Company. The amount due and owing as of January 31, 2008, under the 2006 Morale Note is $689,327. The amount due and owing as of January 31, 2008, under the 2007 Morale Note is $672,885.
The Company borrowed the principal sum of $20,000 from Morale on October 30, 2007, at an interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Principal and accrued interest under the Morale Note is due on demand, and no payments there under have been made by the Company.

Interest on the 2007 PIPE Notes, at a rate of 10% per annum, is payable quarterly. The Notes are due nine months from date of issuance. The 2007 PIPE Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.70 per share (the “Conversion Shares”). There is no reset to the conversion price for any beneficial conversion feature.
The Company has the right to redeem any or all of the outstanding 2007 PIPE Notes in its sole discretion anytime after the termination of the 2007 PIPE Offering and prior to the maturity date of the 2007 PIPE Notes. The redemption price shall be the face amount of the redeemed 2007 PIPE Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Subject to the following sentence, at any time prior to the maturity date of the 2007 PIPE Notes, for each additional $1,000,000 of gross proceeds raised from one or more offerings of the Company’s equity or quasi-equity securities, the Company shall redeem 2007 PIPE Notes with a minimum face value of $500,000 together with accrued and unpaid interest, until the entire outstanding 2007 PIPE Note is redeemed. Certain financings that the Company may conduct outside of North America are exempt from this provision to redeem the 2007 PIPE Notes in whole or in part.
Investors in the 2007 PIPE Offering also received a warrant (the “2007 PIPE Warrant”), entitling the holder to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 150% of the number of shares of common stock into which the 2007 PIPE Notes are convertible (the “Warrant Shares”). The 2007 PIPE Warrant will be exercisable on a cash basis only and will have registration rights. The 2007 PIPE Warrant is exercisable at an initial price of $1.00 per share, and is exercisable immediately upon issuance and for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
Promptly, but no later than 90 days following the closing date of the 2007 PIPE Offering, the Company is required to file a Registration Statement with the SEC to register the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that such Registration Statement is declared effective within 120 days after filing.
Pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Notes, if a Registration Statement is not filed on the 91st day following the closing date, (i) the interest rate on the PIPE Notes increased from 10% to 18% per annum until the event of default is cured and (ii) the holders of the PIPE Notes became entitled to receive additional warrants in an amount equal to 25% of the PIPE Warrants originally issued, for each 60-day period that the Company remains in default.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued $400,000 of the PIPE Notes which could be converted into 571,429 shares of the Company’s common stock and 2007 PIPE Warrants to purchase 857,144 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants expire March 1, March 30 and April 2, 2010 and are exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share. The Company had related transaction fees of $48,000, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $352,000. In addition to the transaction fees, warrants to purchase 57,143 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Spencer Clarke LLC, the Company’s exclusive placement agent for the 2007 PIPE Offering. These warrants expire March 1, March 30 and April 2, 2010 and are exercisable at a price of $0.70 per share.
The aggregate value of the 2007 PIPE Warrants issued in connection with this offering and the warrants issued to the placement agent were valued at $256,533 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.40% to 5.16%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of common stock of 100.28% to 114.98%; and an expected life of two years (statutory term). The Company also determined that the notes contained a beneficial conversion feature of $62,857.
The Company was unable to meet its obligations to file the Registration Statement required under the terms of the 2007 PIPE Offering in a timely manner. In early July 2007, the Company began discussions with Spencer Clarke, acting on behalf of the holders of the PIPE Notes and PIPE Warrants, for an extension of time to file the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding such discussions, Spencer Clarke issued a Notice of Default dated August 1, 2007 (the "Notice") to the Company for its failure to file the Registration Statement in a timely manner.
39
On August 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Modification Agreement with the 2007 PIPE note holders. The Modification Agreement was entered into as a result of negotiations between the Company and Spencer Clarke, LLC ("Spencer Clarke"), the Company's exclusive placement agent for the 2007 PIPE Offering, after the Company failed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in a timely manner a Registration Statement to register the shares of the Company's common stock into which the PIPE Notes are convertible and for which the PIPE Warrants may be exercised.
Pursuant to the Modification Agreement, the parties have agreed as follows:
● | Promptly, but no later than November 30, 2007 (instead of on or before July 2, 2007), the Company shall file the Registration Statement with the SEC to register the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. |
● | Effective August 1, 2007, the interest rate on the PIPE Notes shall be increased from 10% per annum to 18% per annum until such time as the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. |
● | The price at which the PIPE Notes may be converted into Conversion Shares (the "Conversion Price") shall be reduced from $0.70 to $0.45 per share. |
● | Each Investor shall receive, for no additional consideration, additional warrants ("Additional Warrants") in an amount equal to an additional 50% of the PIPE Warrants originally issued pursuant to the terms of the 2007 PIPE Offering. These Additional Warrants total 428,575 and shall have the same registration rights as are described in the Private Placement Memorandum dated January 12, 2007 (the "Offering Memorandum") used in connection with the 2007 PIPE Offering applicable to the PIPE Warrants; shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance; shall remain exercisable for a period of five years from the date of the Modification Agreement, on a cash basis only, at an initial exercise price of $0.45 per share; and shall, in all other respects, have the same terms and conditions, and be in the same form, as the PIPE Warrants. |
● | If the Company does not file the Registration Statement with the SEC by November 30, 2007, each Investor shall receive, for no additional consideration, warrants ("Delay Warrants") in an amount equal to an additional 50% of the PIPE Warrants originally issued pursuant to the terms of the Offering Memorandum. The Delay Warrants shall have the same registration rights as are described in the Offering Memorandum applicable to the PIPE Warrants; shall be exercisable immediately upon issuance; shall remain exercisable for a period of five years from the date of this Agreement, on a cash basis only, at an initial exercise price of $0.45 per share; and shall, in all other respects, have the same terms and conditions, and be in the same form, as the PIPE Warrants. |
The terms and conditions of the Offering Memorandum, the PIPE Notes and the PIPE Warrants, to the extent not expressly amended in the Modification Agreement, remain in full force and effect. The issuance of the Additional Warrants (“Delay Warrants”), if any, and the reduction of the Conversion Price of the PIPE Notes, has the potential to dilute the percentage ownership interest of the Company's existing shareholders.
The aggregate value of the 2007 PIPE Warrants issued in connection with this Modification Agreement were valued at $138,107 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.43%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of common stock of 113.55%; and an expected life of two years (statutory term).
On November 30, 2007, the Company and the Investors entered into the Second Modification Agreement and pursuant to this agreement have agreed as follows:
● | The Investors have agreed to forgive all accrued interest on their PIPE Notes, from the date of issuance thereof through December 14, 2007. |
Payment of $200,000 was made by the Company in accordance with the Second Modification Agreement, the Original Notes were surrendered by the Investors and 1,060,000 shares of common stock were issued to the Investors on December 27, 2007.
The aggregate value of the 2007 PIPE warrants in connection with the Second Modification Agreement were valued at $116,913 using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.39%; dividend yield of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of common stock of 116.75%; and an expected life of five years (statutory term).

In order to fund our capital needs for the foreseeable future, including the operations of our business, and the repayment of our outstanding Convertible Notes, we must raise substantial additional funds. In addition, we will require additional funds in connection with the license and research and development agreements with Temple University, costs associated with product development and commercialization of the ELEKTRA technology, costs to manufacture and ship our products, costs to design and implement an effective system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, costs of maintaining our status as a public company by filing periodic reports with the SEC, and costs required to protect our intellectual property. We also have substantial contractual commitments, including without limitation salaries to our executive officers pursuant to employment agreements, certain severance payments to former officers and consulting fees, during the remainder of 2008 and beyond.
In light of the Company’s financial commitments over the next several months and its liquidity constraints, have implemented cost reduction measures in all areas of operations, including but not limited to personnel lay-offs and/or reductions in work, reductions in marketing and advertising, deferral of placing orders to manufacturers of our ECO ChargR and MAG ChargR products for sale to our existing distributors, reductions in research and development and product development of ELEKTRA products, and reductions of certain other expenses. We intend to review these measures on an ongoing basis and make additional decisions as may be required
We may continue to use our equity arrangement for some of our additional requirements for 2008. However, the equity arrangement will not be sufficient to meet all of our current liabilities and other obligations in 2008. Among other things, the thin trading of our common stock may limit our ability to use the equity arrangement without adversely affecting the price of our common stock. Therefore, in addition to the recently-completed 2008 Summer Offering, the Company is actively pursuing additional financing alternatives, but no commitments have been received and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. At present, we have relatively few financing options available to us.
Contractual Obligations
The following table discloses our contractual commitments for future periods. Long-term commitments are comprised operating leases and minimum guaranteed compensation payments under employment and other agreements. See Note 9 to Notes to Condensed consolidated Financial Statements.

License agreements with Temple University
We have entered into two license agreements with Temple University, one covering Temple University’s current patent application concerning certain electric field effects on gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel particle size distribution, and the other covering Temple University’s current patent application concerning electric field effects on crude oil and edible oil viscosity, and any and all United States and foreign patents issuing in respect of the technologies described in such applications (individually, a “License Agreement” and collectively, the “License Agreements”). Initially, the License Agreements are exclusive and the territory licensed to the Company is worldwide. Pursuant to the License Agreements, the Company will pay to Temple University (i) license fees in the aggregate amount of $250,000, payable in three installments of $100,000, the first installment of which was paid in March 2007, and $75,000 on each of February 2, 2008, which has not been paid, and February 2, 2009, respectively; and (ii) annual maintenance fees of $125,000 annually commencing January 1, 2008, which has not been paid. In addition, each License Agreement separately provides that the Company will pay royalties to Temple University on net sales of products incorporating the technology licensed under that License Agreement in an amount equal to 7% of the first $20 million of net sales, 6% of the next $20 million of net sales and 5% of net sales in excess of $40 million. Sales under the two License Agreements are not aggregated for purposes of calculating the royalties payable to Temple University. In addition, the Company has agreed to bear all costs of obtaining and maintaining patents in any jurisdiction where the Company directs Temple University to pursue a patent for either of the licensed technologies. Should the Company not wish to pursue a patent in a particular jurisdiction, that jurisdiction would not be included in the territory licensed to the Company.
43
The Company is in default in connection with its payment obligations under the License Agreements. On November 10, 2008, the Company received written notice from Temple University of a material breach relating to required payments under the License Agreements. The notice provides the Company with 60 days' notice to cure the material breach. The Company's failure to cure could result in a termination of the License Agreements. If the termination occurs, the Company estimates this would have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and operations. Under the License Agreements the Company is subject to a penalty of 1% per month of the amounts due and unpaid under the License Agreements. At September 30, 2008, the Company estimates the penalty to be $15,250, and has accrued this in the accompanying financial statements.
Research and development agreement with Temple University
We have also entered into a research and development agreement (“R&D Agreement”) with Temple University to conduct further research on the ELEKTRA technology. Under the R&D Agreement Temple University will conduct a 24-month research project towards expanding the scope of, and developing products utilizing, the technologies covered under the License Agreements, including design and manufacture of prototypes utilizing electric fields to improve diesel, gasoline and kerosene fuel injection in engines using such fuels and a device utilizing a magnetic field to reduce crude oil viscosity for crude oil (paraffin and mixed base) and edible oil flow in pipelines. Pursuant to the R&D Agreement, we will make payments to Temple University in the aggregate amount of $500,000, payable in eight non-refundable installments commencing with $123,750, which was paid in March 2007, and seven payments of $53,750 every three months thereafter until paid in full. The payments of $53,750 due in June, September, December 2007, March, June and September 2008 have not been paid. On November 10, 2008, the Company received written notice of default from Temple University. The notice provides the Company with 60 days to cure the material breach. The Company's failure to cure the breach could result in the termination of the R&D Agreement. If the termination occurs, the Company estimates this would have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and operations. If the research project yields results within the scope of the technologies licensed pursuant to the License Agreements, those results will be deemed included as rights licensed to the Company pursuant to the License Agreements. If the research project yields results outside of the scope of the technologies covered by the License Agreements, the Company has a six-month right of first negotiation to enter into a new worldwide, exclusive license agreement with Temple University for the intellectual property covered by those results.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an on-going basis, our estimates and judgments, including those related to the useful life of the assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated results that we report in our financial statements. The SEC considers an entity’s most critical accounting policies to be those policies that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and those that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain at the time of estimation.. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting policies of the Company, see Note 3 of Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain significant estimates were made in connection with preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements as described in Note 1 to Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition” and therefore recognizes revenue based upon meeting four criteria:
● | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
● | Delivery has occurred or services rendered; |
● | The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and |
● | Collectability is reasonably assured. |
44
The Company contract manufactures fixed magnetic field products and sells them to various original equipment manufacturers in the motor vehicle and small utility motor markets. The Company negotiates an initial contract with the customer fixing the terms of the sale and then receives a letter of credit or full payment in advance of shipment. Upon shipment, the Company recognizes the revenue associated with the sale of the products to the customer.
Long-lived assets
The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred. No impairments were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The Company recorded an impairment of approximately $505,000 during the period from inception (February 18, 1998) through September 30, 2008.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF No. 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, and an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” (SFAS No.161). SFAS No.161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This standard becomes effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier adoption of SFAS 161 and, separately, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption are encouraged. As SFAS No.161 only requires enhanced disclosures, this standard will have no impact on the Financial Statements
The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide the information required by this.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) are not adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transaction and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as required in Rule 13a-15(b). In December 2006 our Controller retired and in January 2007 our Chief Financial Officer retired, although our former Controller still provides certain financial consulting services for us. We have hired an Interim Chief Financial Officer and a full-time Controller. We have retained a consulting firm and are conducting an evaluation to design and implement adequate systems of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls. We expect to complete this review during 2008 to comply with the requirements of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting will require a combination of additional financial resources, outside consulting services, legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of responsibility among various persons, and substantial additional training of those of our officers, personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our Chairman of the Board and committee chairs, who are charged with implementing and/or carrying out our plan. It should also be noted that the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Our annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting and management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only Management’s report in this annual report.
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In April 2005, Jeffrey A. Muller, the Company’s former sole director and executive officer, filed a complaint against us in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and alleging unfair competition in connection with a claimed prior patent interest in the ZEFS device and stock option rights. In seeking declaratory relief, Mr. Muller is seeking to have the patent rights in the ZEFS device that were previously transferred to us by Mr. Muller’s bankruptcy trustee declared null and void.
This lawsuit brought by Mr. Muller arose out of the same claims that were the subject of litigation in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, in which the Court entered judgment against Mr. Muller. Those claims are pending further proceedings. While we believe that we have valid claims and defenses, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome on the pending motions or a trial of this case would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or cash flow.
Litigation Involving Scottish Glen Golf Company
We are involved in litigation with Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc. (SGGC) doing business as KZ Golf, Inc., the Company’s previous landlord on claims in the aggregate amount of $104,413. STWA does not dispute the fact that certain amounts of unpaid past rent are due but does dispute that it owes the aggregate of $104,413 demanded by SGGC; more than half of which are purported “late fees” which was assessed at the rate of $100 per day. It is the company’s position that the late fees are void and unenforceable and that STWA is entitled to a set-off for office space that reverted back to SGGC.
While the Company believes that it has valid claims and defenses, given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or outcome of this matter would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or cash flow. The Company believes that these claims arose from acts of a related party involving a former officer and director and his wife as a beneficial owners of SGGC.
Effective April 30, 2008 the Company and Scottish Glen Golf Company, Inc., dba KZG settled their pending litigation relating to the Company’s prior offices. In the interest of avoiding further litigation costs and expenses, the Company and SGGC executed a “Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement effective April 30, 2008. The Company will pay SGGC the sum of $75,000, execution of which is hereby stayed pending the following terms:
a. Company shall pay to SGGC the sum of $51,000 in two installments, without interest, as follows;
(1) $34,000 due on or before June 2, 2008 and
(2) $17,000 due on or before July 17, 2008
b. | The above payments shall be payable to SCOTTICH GLEN GOLF COMPANY, INC. dba KZG and wired transferred to the latter. |
c. | In the event any payment listed above is not paid when due, then the total sum of $75,000 shall immediately be due and owing, less any payments actually made pursuant to the Agreement and SGGC shall be entitled to file the Stipulated Judgment |
d. | The Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement also provides for mutual general releases. |
Upon full and complete execution of all duties and obligations by Company under the terms of this Agreement, and provided Paragraph c. above has not occurred, SGGC shall cause the Complaint to be dismissed, with prejudice, as to all causes of action and as to all parties. The Company has recorded the accrued liability at June 30, 2008. On May 29, 2008, the initial payment of $34,000 was made and on July 9, 2008, the final payment of $17,000 was made and the Complaint was dismissed, with prejudice.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Form 10-KSB we filed with the SEC on March 31, 2008.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Morale Orchards Transaction
On December 5, 2006, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Morale Orchards, LLC (“Morale”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides that Morale will purchase the Company’s one-year Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate face amount of $1,225,000 (the “Morale Notes”), and five-year Warrants (the “Morale Warrants”) to purchase shares of our Common Stock at prices ranging from $0.70 to $0.85 per share. The aggregate purchase price for the Morale Notes and Morale Warrants is $1,000,000. Therefore, while the stated interest on the Morale Notes is 0%, the actual interest rate is 22.5% because the Morale Notes are being purchased at a discount from their face amount.
Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, Morale purchased one Morale Note in the principal amount of $612,500 on December 5, 2006, for which it paid $500,000 and purchased the other Morale Note in the principal amount of $612,500 on January 10, 2007, for which it paid $500,000.

Other Issuances.
In September 2006, the Company entered into what is sometimes termed an equity arrangement with an investment banking firm. Under the arrangement the Company may sell (put) shares of common stock from time to time over a 36-month period, at a purchase price calculated at 97% of the lowest best closing bid for the Company’s common stock for the five trading days following the put notice for cash. The Company may draw up to $10,000,000. Because the price of the common stock fluctuates, the number of shares of common stock that the Company may issue when the Company exercises the put rights will vary, the Company does not know how many shares will actually be issued under the put. On October 6, 2006, the Company filed a Registration Statement which was effective October 30, 2006 which registered and made available 7,000,000 shares of common stock for possible future draws under the line of credit.
During the year ended December 31, 2007 the Company drew down $ 992,055 ($912,683 net of closing costs) and issued 1,880,421 shares of common stock.
