1. | Organization and Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements at December 31, 2008. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. Management has performed an evaluation of the Company’s activities through the date and time these financial statements were issued on November 30, 2009 and concluded that except for the events disclosed in note 9, there are no additional significant events requiring recognition or disclosure. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary company. On consolidation, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
2. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", which amends the derecognition guidance in FASB Statement No. 140 and eliminates the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose entities. This statement is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB Statement No. 140 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)", which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments will significantly affect the overall consolidation analysis under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption FAS 167 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |

2. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Cont’d) In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASU 2009-05”). The amendment is to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. The purpose of this amendment is to reduce ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring fair value of liabilities. The guidance in the update is effective for the first interim reporting period beginning after issuance, which would be the reporting period ending December 31, 2009 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its (consolidated) financial statements In September 2009, the FASB issued Update No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) —Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per share (or Its Equivalent)” (ASU 2009-12). ASU 2009-12 provides amendments to ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall” for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities. In addition, ASU 2009-12 requires disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in the update. ASU 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2009-12 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In October 2009, the FASB issued Update No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 provides amendments to the criteria in ASC 605-25 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of those amendments, multiple-deliverable arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. ASU 2009-13: 1) establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, 2) eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, 3) requires that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis, 4) significantly expands the disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2009-13. |

3. | Adoption of New Accounting Standards Fair Value Measurements SFAS No.157, as codified in FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures”, is effective for financial assets and liabilities in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for non-financial assets and liabilities in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted ASC 820 for financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements. ASC 820 applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. ASC 820 requires new disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. There are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value as at September 30, 2009. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value represents management’s best estimates based on a range of methodologies and assumptions. The advances to companies controlled by shareholders and the advances from ultimate shareholders are presumed to have a fair value measured by the cash proceeds exchanged at issuance in accordance with APB-21 “Interest on Receivables and Payables”. Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” now codified in FASB ASC 825. This FSP, amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Since this FSP at most requires additional disclosures, its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

3. | Adoption of New Accounting Standards (Cont’d) Subsequent Events FASB Codification On July 1, 2009, the FASB released the final version of its new Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single authoritative source for U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”). The Codification replaces all previous U.S. GAAP accounting standards as described in SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles FAS 168. The Codification replaces all previous U.S. GAAP accounting standards. While not intended to change U.S. GAAP, the Codification significantly changes the way in which the accounting literature is organized. It is structured by accounting topic to help accountants and auditors more quickly identify the guidance that applies to a specific accounting issue. The Company has applied the Codification for the first time for its interim financial statements for the nine months ending September 30, 2009. The adoption of the Codification will not have an effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. However, because the Codification completely replaces existing standards, it will affect the way U.S. GAAP is referenced by FactSet in its consolidated financial statements and accounting policies. |

5. | Pension Plan The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan in which a majority of its employees are members. The employer contributes 100% to the plan. The benefits, or the rate per year of credit service, are established by the Company and updated at its discretion. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 715, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, on January 1, 2009. This standard requires more detailed disclosures about the Company’s plan assets, including investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. Additional disclosures are required beginning with the year ended 2009 consolidated financial statements. There was no impact to the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements. Cost of Benefits: The components of the expense we incurred under our pension plan are as follows: |
| | Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Current service cost, net of employee contributions | | $ | 25,642 | | | $ | 48,791 | |

Amortization of net actuarial loss | | | 9,744 | | | | 9,915 | |
Total benefit cost | | $ | 61,455 | | | $ | 74,413 | |
| Contributions The Company made $120,859 of contributions to its defined benefit pension plan in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and $145,196 for the period ended September 30, 2008. Changes in the discount rate and actual investment returns which continue to remain lower than the long-term expected return on plan assets could result in the Company making additional contributions. |

9. | Subsequent Events Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company obtained a new $ 8,825,000 credit facility which is subject to review annually and consists of an operating demand line of credit, a demand loan and foreign exchange contracts. Borrowings under the credit facility are limited by certain margin requirements concerning accounts receivable and inventories and bear interest at bank prime rate per annum. The terms of the banking agreement require the Company to comply with certain financial covenants. As security for the credit facility the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary have pledged properties in the amount of $9,300,000 and have furnished cross guarantees to the lender. On November 30, 2009, Sierra Concepts, Inc. changed its name to Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and on the days following, completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company in a transaction that has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Pioneer Transformers Ltd.

All of the Company’s shares were exchanged for 22,800,000 newly issued shares of common stock of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. at an exercise price of $3.25 per share. In connection with the closing of the share exchange, Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc. sold 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1 per share in a private placement, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000.
