At various places in this Prospectus, we may make reference to the "company" or "us" or "we." When we use those terms, unless the context otherwise requires, we mean Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries. About Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. ("ESW"), was formed in 1987 in the State of Florida as BBC Stock Market, Inc. ("BBC") as a development stage enterprise. ESW did not engage in any significant business until January 1999 when it acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of BBL Technologies Inc., a private company based in Ontario, Canada ("BBL"). BBC subsequently changed its name to Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. From 1999 to 2001, ESW was a development stage company based in Ontario Canada. In 2005, ESW relocated its principal executive offices and commenced the preparation for manufacturing at its facility located at 335 Connie Crescent, Concord, Ontario L4K 5R2 Canada while maintaining manufacturing and testing facilities in Telford, Pennsylvania and Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. ESW's telephone number is (905)695-4142. ESW, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is the assignee of Canadian and U.S. patents and/or patent pending applications covering catalytic converter technology for automotive and non-automotive uses. ESW's subsidiaries also are the assignee of both Canadian and U. S. patents on spark plug/fuel injector technology for automotive use. ESW's performance and growth is directly related to certain trends, within the global market, for the need to reduce emissions emanating from internal combustion engines. This need is directly related to the global response and efforts by world governments, at all levels, to implement the legislative requirements upon sellers of internal combustion engines, to comply with the more stringent requirements, they demand, for reducing emissions being emitted from these engines into our environment. ESW's primary business objective is to capitalize on the growing global requirement of reducing emissions, by offering catalyst technology solutions to the market. We intend to execute on the following key strategies in order to leverage our strengths and position ourselves for long-term growth and success: o Focusing on our core business, ESW intends to continue to strengthen its growth strategy by seeking complimentary partnerships and investments that provide a competitive advantage and growth opportunities for its core businesses. o Investing in new product and process technologies, ESW intends to accelerate its investments in new product and manufacturing process technologies to strengthen and differentiate its product portfolio. ESW also intends to continue its efforts to develop innovative products and manufacturing processes to serve its customers better globally and improve its product mix and profit margins. o Maximizing production capabilities, ESW is currently implementing strategic initiatives designed to improve product quality while reducing manufacturing costs. In addition, ESW periodically evaluates opportunities to maximize its facility and asset utilization. ESW also evaluates on opportunities to expand its manufacturing capabilities in low-cost regions of the world, which are projected to develop into future domestic sales to emerging markets. o ESW intends to focus on strategic partnerships and alliances that do not require significant upfront cash investments to pursue new business opportunities in other environmental products and sectors. o ESW will continue to invest in development opportunities across the Company and strive to achieve the best practices in organizational vitality, diversity, and sales force strength.

Only those persons able to lose their entire investment should purchase these shares. Before purchasing any of these shares, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. You should also understand that this prospectus contains "forward-looking statements." These statements appear throughout this prospectus and include statements as to our intent, belief or current expectations or projections with respect to our future operations, performance or position. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future events and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual events and results, including the results of our operations, could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth below and elsewhere in this prospectus. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WE MAY HAVE TO SIGNIFICANTLY CURTAIL THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS AND ALTER OUR BUSINESS MODEL. Management believes that profitable operations are essential for ESW to become viable. However, our sales and revenues continue to be unpredictable. In the event that profitable operations are not achieved, our present financial resources should allow us to continue operations through at least the next twelve months. Should we receive a large order (defined by management as one in which monthly production and deliveries would exceed $1 million), we believe that we would need to either negotiate extremely favorable payment terms providing for at least some advance payment or we will need to obtain either debt or equity financing to allow us to purchase sufficient raw materials and meet our working capital needs. If additional financing is required and not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations at current levels or satisfy the requirements necessary to fill a large order. We are engaged in seeking additional financing in a variety of venues and formats and we continue to impose actions designed to minimize our operating loses. We would consider strategic opportunities, including investment in us, a merger or other acceptable transactions, to sustain our operations. There can be no assurances that additional capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing or to arrange a suitable strategic opportunity, our business may be placed in significant financial jeopardy. OUR FORMER INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, RESIGNED EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 20, 2004 WHICH MAY LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SEEK RECOURSE AGAINST THEM IN THE EVENT OF A CLAIM. On October 20, 2004, our former public accountants informed us that they were resigning as our independent registered public accounting firm as they were no longer able to service our needs as a public company. The resignation was not sought or recommended by our audit committee or our Board of Directors. We subsequently learned that our prior auditor discontinued its accounting practice and no longer is an active operating entity engaged in the practice of public accounting and auditing work. Due to our prior auditor's resignation and discontinuation of public practice, investors and shareholders of our common stock may have limited recourse against our prior auditor in the event of any claims associated with prior work performed on behalf of the Company. WE HAVE INCURRED LOSSES IN THE PAST AND WE EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES IN THE FUTURE. We have incurred losses in each year since our inception. Our net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 was $1,721,313 and our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2004 was $11,561,282. As our sales and revenue continue to be unpredictable, we expect to experience additional periods with operating losses. THE PRICE OF OUR SHARES MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE PUBLIC SALE OF A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF THE SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Of the 39,709,879 shares included in this registration, the 13,008,821 shares of common stock as issued, and the 348,571 shares of common stock issued for interest earned on debentures, may under certain circumstances be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144. Sales of our common stock in the public market could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Such sales may also inhibit our ability to obtain future equity or equity-related financing on acceptable terms. At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 23, 2005, our stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares of the common stock from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000. The issuance of additional shares could have a significant adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock. 3 WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CERTAIN WARRANTS THAT CONTAIN PRICE ADJUSTMENT PROTECTION THAT MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. We have previously issued warrants that if exercised would result in 9,801,031 shares of our common stock being issued, which are included in this registration. These warrants have various price protections that allow for reduction in the exercise price in the event we undertake an offering with more favorable terms. THE SALE OF MATERIAL AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO FINANCE THE CONTINUING OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY MAY SUBSTANTIALITY DILUTE OUR COMMON STOCK AND PLACE SIGNIFICANT DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON ITS TRADING PRICE. Our need to raise funds through the sale of equity may result in the issuance of a significant number of shares of common stock in relation to the number of shares currently outstanding. In the past, we have raised money through the sale of shares of our common stock and derivative securities at a discount to the current market price of our common stock. These arrangements have taken various forms including Private Investments in Public Equities or "PIPE" transactions. The perceived risk of dilution may cause our existing stockholders and other holders to sell their shares of stock, which would contribute to a decrease in our stock price. In that regard, significant downward pressure on the trading price of our stock may also cause investors to engage in short sales, which would further contribute to significant downward pressure on the trading price of our stock. RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN HIGHLY VOLATILE. Our common stock has traded as low as $0.21 per share and as high as $0.66 per share in the twelve (12) month ended December 31, 2004 and as high as $1.24 per share in our current fiscal year. Some of the factors leading to the volatility include: o price and volume fluctuation in the stock market at large which did not relate to our operating performance; o fluctuation in our operating results; o concerns about our ability to finance our continuing operations; o financing arrangements which may require the issuance of a significant number of shares in relation to the number shares of our common stock currently outstanding; o announcements of agreements, technological innovations or new products which we or our competitors make; o costs and availability of precious metals used in the production of our products; and o fluctuations in market demand and supply of our products. OUR COMMON STOCK IS CURRENTLY TRADED ON THE OVER-THE-COUNTER-BULLETIN-BOARD AND AN INVESTOR'S ABILITY TO TRADE OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE LIMITED BY TRADING VOLUME. The trading volume in our common stock has been relatively limited. A consistently active trading market for our common stock may not continue on the Over-The-Counter-Bulletin-Board. The average daily trading volume in our common stock on the Over-The-Counter-Bulletin-Board for the month ended November 30, 2005 was approximately 99,571 shares. RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS OUR QUARTERLY RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE DUE TO CERTAIN REGULATORY, MARKETING AND COMPETITIVE FACTORS OVER WHICH WE HAVE LITTLE OR NO CONTROL. The factors listed below some of which we cannot control may cause our revenues and result of operations to fluctuate significantly: 4 o Actions taken by foreign regulatory bodies relating to the certification of our products. o The extent to which our "Clean Cat(R)" and "Quite Cat(TM)" catalytic converter products obtain market acceptance. o The timing and size of customer purchases. o Customer concerns about the stability of our business which could cause them to seek alternatives to our product. WE ARE CURRENTLY DEPENDENT ON A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS FOR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR REVENUES. While we began commercial sales of our products during the first quarter of fiscal 2001, we recorded sales from approximately 27 customers in fiscal 2004. Two of these customers accounted for 30 % and 17 %, respectively of our revenue in fiscal 2004. 23 other customers each accounted for approximately 5 % or less. We intend to establish long-term relationships with our customers and continue to expand our customer base. While we diligently seek to become less dependent on any one customer, it is likely that certain contractual relationships may result in one or more customers contributing to a significant portion of our revenue in any given year for the foreseeable future. The loss of one or more of these significant customers may result in a material adverse effect on our revenues and our ability to become profitable or our ability to continue our business operations. WE HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH CUMMINS FLEETGUARD. While we have entered into exclusive marketing, supply and distribution agreements with Fleetguard Emissions Solutions, a subsidiary of Cummins Inc., whereby we will serve as the preferred supplier to Fleetguard Emissions Solutions for our Particulate Reactor(TM) and Clean Cat(TM) for retrofit applications for the United States, Canada and select countries to be determined on a country by country basis. There can be no assurances regarding revenues to be derived from this relationship or that the exclusive preferred supplier agreement will have a beneficial effect on the development of our products and our business. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy any demand of Fleetguard Emissions Solutions for products under the agreements or that our products will meet required standards as set by Fleetguard in certain instances. WE HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE SELLING AND MARKETING OUR PRODUCTS. Although we have entered into exclusive marketing and distribution agreements with Fleetguard Emission Solutions, at the current time, we have limited marketing capability as compared with many of our competitors and we do not have a large sales, promotion and marketing budget as we are constrained by our lack of working capital and our ability to raise the necessary cash flow from our business operations to re-invest in our marketing programs. As a result of our limited marketing capabilities, we are forced to rely upon customer referrals, trade publications and a small sales force. Our competitors have direct advertising and sales promotion programs for their products as well as sales and marketing personnel that may have a competitive advantage over us in contacting prospective customers. Our position in the industry is considered minor in comparison to that of our competitors, and while we continue to develop and explore new marketing methods and techniques such as, trade show representation and programs directed toward foreign customers, our ability to compete at the present time is limited. Our success depends upon the ability to market, penetrate and expand markets and form alliances with third party international distributors. However, there can be no assurances that: o our direct selling efforts will be effective; o we will obtain an expanded degree of market acceptance; o our exclusive marketing and distribution agreements with Fleetguard Emission Solutions will result in increased sale of our products; or o we will be able to successfully form relationships with international distributors to market our products. 5 WE DEPEND UPON THE MARKETABILITY OF TWO PRIMARY PRODUCTS -CLEAN CAT(R) AND QUIET CAT.(TM) Our Clean Cat(R) and Quiet Cat(TM) catalytic converters are our two primary products. We may have to cease operations if either of our primary products fails to achieve market acceptance and/or generates significant revenues. Additionally, the marketability of our products is dependent upon obtaining certifications as well as the effectiveness of the product in relation to various environmental regulations in the various jurisdictions we market and sell our products. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP AND MARKET NEW PRODUCTS THAT WE PLAN TO INTRODUCE OR OBTAIN DIRECT OR INDIRECT CERTIFICATION APPROVALS WITH RESPECT TO OUR PRODUCTS. We plan to develop other catalytic converter products and technologies. There are numerous developmental and certification issues that may preclude the introduction of these products into commercial sale. If we are unable to demonstrate the feasibility of these products or obtain certifications for our products from such agencies as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Mexico Department of Ecology, or the California Air Resources Board (CARB), we may have to abandon them or alter our business plan. Such modifications to our business plan will likely delay achievement of milestones related to revenue increases and achievement of profitability. WE FACE CONSTANT CHANGES IN GOVERNMENTAL STANDARDS BY WHICH OUR PRODUCTS ARE EVALUATED. We believe that due to the constant focus on the environment and clean air standards throughout the world, we will be required in the future to adhere to new and more stringent regulations both domestically and abroad as governmental agencies seek to improve standards required for certification of products intended to promote clean air. In the event our products fail to meet these ever changing standards, some or all of our products may become obsolete. WE HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN MANUFACTURING OUR PRODUCTS AND LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN MANUFACTURING OUR PRODUCTS IN COMMERCIAL QUANTITIES. We may encounter difficulties in ramping up our production of our current and any future products due to such reasons as: o lack of working capital necessary to gain market acceptance; o quality control and assurance; o raw material supplies; o shortages of qualified personnel; o equipment capable of producing large quantities; and o sufficient manufacturing space. Any of the foregoing would effect our ability to meet increases in demand should our products gain market acceptance and reduce growth in our sales revenues. WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION AND RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES BY COMPETITORS. Competition among companies that provide solutions for pollutant emissions from diesel, leaded and unleaded engines is intense. Several companies market products that compete directly with our products. Other companies offer products that potential customers may consider to be acceptable alternatives to our products and services. We face direct competition from companies with far greater financial, technological, manufacturing and personnel resources, including Corning, NGK and Emitec. Corning and NGK are the two major manufacturers of ceramic cores, which are integral components in current catalytic converter production, and Emitec is the major manufacturer of metal cores. We also face direct competition with companies like Engelhard and Johnson Matthey, who purchase their substrates from others, and do further processing with their own formulas and fabrication for direct sale to the market place. Newly developed products could be more effective and cost efficient than our current products or those we may develop in the future. Many of our current and potential future competitors have substantially more engineering, sales and marketing capabilities, substantially greater financial technological and personnel resources, and broader product lines than we do. We also face indirect competition in the form of alternative fuel consumption vehicles such as those using methanol, hydrogen, ethanol and electricity. 6 WE CLAIM CERTAIN PROPRIETARY RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF OUR PRODUCTS. The protections provided by patents and those sought by pending patents are important to our business, although we believe that no individual right is material to our business at the present time. There can be no assurance that these patents, combined with pending patent applications or existing or future trade secret protections that we seek will survive legal challenge, or provide meaningful levels of protection. Additionally, there can be no assurances when these patents or pending patents may be assigned to ESW directly. The Canadian patent only affords protection against the manufacture, use or sale of the patented technology within Canada. The US patent application for our diesel catalytic converter, Clean Cat(R) was filed on October 31, 2000 and has not been challenged as of this date. We do not presently have any worldwide patent protection nor do we have any immediate plans to file for protection in any foreign countries other than Canada. There can be no assurances that any patents we may have or have applied for or any agreements we have in place or enter into will protect our technology and or prevent competitors from employing the use of our design and production information. ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF KEY PERSONNEL. Our future success depends in significant part on the continued services of key technical sales and senior management personnel. The loss of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have materially adverse effects on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our success depends upon our continued ability to attract and attain highly qualified technical sales and managerial personnel. There can be no assurances that we can attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel in the future. WE ARE DEPENDANT UPON KEY SUPPLIERS FOR CERTAIN PRECIOUS METALS WHICH ARE A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF OUR PRODUCTS. An element of the production process of our products includes certain raw materials including: o stainless steel; o steel tubing; o precious metals; and o components. An extended interruption of the supply of precious metals necessary for the production of our products could have an adverse effect on us. Further, a substantial price increase of the raw materials that are components of our products could also have an adverse effect on our business. We currently rely on third party vendors to provide certain components of our products. We currently do not have any fixed commitments from suppliers to provide supplies. WE DO NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT LEVEL OF PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE DUE TO ITS HIGH COST. We develop, market and sell catalytic converter products. Any failure of our products may result in a claim against us. Due to the high cost of product liability insurance, we do not maintain significant amounts of insurance to protect against claims associated with use of our product. Any claim against us, whether or not successful, may result in our expenditure of substantial funds and litigation. Further, any claims may require management's time and use of our resources and may have a materially adverse impact on us. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Except for historical information, the information contained in this prospectus and in our reports filed with the SEC are "forward looking" statements about our expected future business and financial performance. These statements involve known and unknown risks, including, among others, risks resulting from economic and market conditions, the regulatory environment in which we operate, pricing pressures, accurately forecasting operating and capital expenditures and trial costs, competitive activities, uncertainties of litigation and other business conditions, and are subject to uncertainties and assumptions contained elsewhere in this prospectus. We base our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and , in accordance with the requirements of federal securities laws, we will disclose to you material developments affecting such statements. Our actual operating results and financial performance may prove to be very different from what we have predicted as of the date of this prospectus due to certain risks and uncertainties. The risks described above in the section entitled "Risk Factors" specifically address factors that may affect our future operating results and financial performance. 7 USE OF PROCEEDS We will not realize any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders; rather, the selling stockholders will receive those proceeds directly. However, we will receive cash upon the exercise of warrants and options by selling stockholders. We intend to use the proceeds received from the exercise of the warrants and options, if any, for general working capital purposes including the development of new products and services. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is quoted under the symbol "ESWW.OB" on the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Our stock is considered penny stock. Penny stock is defined as any equity security not traded on a national stock exchange or quoted on NASDAQ and that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Additional disclosure is required in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (subject to certain exceptions); including the delivery, prior to any such transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Broker-dealers who recommend such low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchase and receive the purchaser's written consent prior to the transaction. The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for our common stock for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 as well as the quarters indicated, as reported by Bloomberg Reporting Service. Such market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions: Fiscal 2005 HIGH LOW 1ST QUARTER $1.24 $0.44 2ND QUARTER 1.01 0.59 3RD QUARTER 0.85 0.63 FISCAL 2004 HIGH LOW 1ST QUARTER $ 0.62 $ 0.45 2ND QUARTER 0.48 0.21 3RD QUARTER 0.66 0.25 4TH QUARTER 0.58 0.38 FISCAL 2003 HIGH LOW 1ST QUARTER $ 0.43 $ 0.09 2ND QUARTER 1.04 0.22 3RD QUARTER 0.95 0.50 4TH QUARTER 1.06 0.52 At December 14, 2005, there were approximately 276 holders of record of our common stock. We estimate that there are approximately 4,500 additional stockholders with stock held in street name. On December 14, 2005, there were 55,219,001 shares of common stock outstanding. Dividend Policy We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. 8 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. ("ESW"), was formed in 1987 in the State of Florida as BBC Stock Market, Inc. ("BBC") as a development stage enterprise. ESW did not engage in any significant business until January 1999 when it acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of BBL Technologies Inc., a private company based in Ontario, Canada ("BBL"). BBC subsequently changed its name to Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. From 1999 to 2001, ESW was a development stage company based in Ontario Canada. In 2005, ESW relocated its principal executive offices and commenced the preparation for manufacturing at its facility located at 335 Connie Crescent, Concord, Ontario L4K 5R2 Canada while maintaining manufacturing and testing facilities in Telford, Pennsylvania and Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. ESW's telephone number is (905)695-4142. ESW is an ISO 9001:2000 certified and is engaged through its wholly owned subsidiaries in the design, development, manufacture and sale of environmental technologies currently focused on the international automotive and transportation industries. ESW currently manufactures and markets a line of catalytic emission control products and catalytic conversion technologies for a number of applications. Our main line of business is the production of catalyzed substrates. Catalyzed substrates are an integral part of catalytic converter systems sold worldwide. ESW, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, is the assignee of Canadian and U.S. patents and/or patent pending applications covering catalytic converter technology for automotive and non-automotive uses. ESW's subsidiaries also are the assignee of both Canadian and U. S. patents on spark plug/fuel injector technology for automotive use. In 2001, ESW formed three wholly owned subsidiaries: o ESW America, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) is our technical, research and development division. ESW America houses our U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")/ California Air Resources Board ("CARB") recognized engine emissions testing laboratory and certification services "Air Testing Services(TM)" ("ATS"). ESW America also currently manufactures our Quiet Cat(TM) line of utility engine catalysts as well as the various custom heavy-duty on and off road catalysts for our customers. ESW America is an ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturing facility. o ESW Canada, Inc. (an Ontario corporation) serves as our sales division, managing all sales and marketing globally for our catalytic product lines. ESW Canada also serves as a manufacturing facility producing catalysts for our Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") and distribution partners worldwide. o ESW Technologies, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) is intended to hold our intellectual property, and or rights to same. INDUSTRY TRENDS Our performance and growth is directly related to certain trends, within the global market, for the need to reduce emissions emanating from all types of internal combustion engines. This need is directly related to the global response and efforts by world governments, at all levels, to implement the legislative requirements upon sellers of internal combustion engines, to comply with the more stringent requirements, they demand, for reducing emissions being emitted from these engines into our environment. The internal combustion engines relate to on road applications such as cars, trucks and busses, as well as numerous off road applications such as construction equipment, farm equipment, industrial equipment, lawn and garden equipment, railway trains and recreational vehicles. Pressure continues to build for lower emissions being emitted from engines in all of these sectors, with diesel Particulate Matter ("PM") standing out as a major contributor to these toxic emissions. The EPA, CARB and individual country environmental agencies continue to place great emphasis on compliance of emission reductions. Since PM is now recognized as a toxic air contaminant, there has been a push to further reduce PM emissions from existing diesel vehicles. Both the U.S. federal and California governments currently impose stringent emission control requirements on motor vehicles sold in their respective jurisdictions, and it is anticipated that these emission requirements will become even more stringent in the future. As a result, we believe that the markets for off-road vehicles, utility engines and retrofitting existing vehicles will also have great potential for our products in future years. 9 The global expansion into emerging market regions such as Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe are expected to experience significant growth in vehicle demand over the next ten years. Suppliers and OEMs of internal combustion engines are looking for cost effective ways to have their engines meet the emissions reduction targets demanded upon them. OEMs, resellers of engines and buyers of retrofit applications, increasingly are requiring their suppliers to have the capability to design and manufacture their products to help meet with this demand. BUSINESS STRATEGY Our primary business objective is to capitalize on the growing global requirement of reducing emissions, by offering catalyst technology solutions to the market. We intend to continue to execute on the following key strategies in order to leverage our strengths and position ourselves for long-term growth and success: o Focusing on our core business, we intend to continue to strengthen its growth strategy by seeking complimentary partnerships and investments that provide a competitive advantage and growth opportunities for our core businesses. o Investing in new product and process technologies, we intend to accelerate our investments in new product and manufacturing process technologies to strengthen and differentiate our product portfolio. We also intend to continue our efforts to develop innovative products and manufacturing processes to serve our customers better globally and improve our product mix and profit margins. o Maximizing production capabilities, we are currently implementing strategic initiatives designed to improve product quality while reducing manufacturing costs. In addition, we periodically evaluate opportunities to maximize facility and asset utilization. We also evaluate our opportunities to expand our manufacturing capabilities in low-cost regions of the world, which are projected to develop into future domestic sales to emerging markets. o We intend to focus on strategic partnerships and alliances that do not require significant upfront cash investments to pursue new business opportunities in other environmental products and sectors. o We will continue to invest in development opportunities and strive to achieve the best practices in organizational vitality, diversity, and sales force strength. COMPANY HISTORY We initially sought to develop ceramic based catalytic converter technologies based on the manufacture of catalytic converters with a reduced or no use of precious metals. Changes in environmental legislation and the progressive needs of the industry presented an opportunity for us to refocus our business plan. During late 2000 and early 2001, we acquired specific equipment and technology that helped us implement a new business model which focused on the production of unique metallic based catalytic converter products containing metallic wire based substrates, chemical formulas and precious metals. In early 2001, we launched our first commercially viable product, The Quiet Cat(TM), a product for small engine applications, which serves as a catalytic converter within the muffler unit. We also developed commercially viable catalytic converter technologies both for diesel and gasoline products. The Clean Cat(R) product line is utilized in diesel applications and the Enviro Cat(TM) product line is employed in gasoline applications. The market for our products include OEM of engines for automotive, off-road and utility products and other manufacturers of equipment using internal combustion engines together with the replacement and retrofit markets for these products. We also launched our Air Sentinel(TM) product line targeted at the large-scale off-road diesel engine market in late 2001. Pro Cat(TM) was also launched during 2001, this catalyst product was designed specifically for CNG/LPG (alternative fuels) engines for the customers in the utility, on-road, off-road and heavy-duty markets. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND THEIR MARKETS The combined technologies of our wire mesh substrate and chemical wash coat form the basis for our woven stainless steel mesh catalytic converter. This product can be produced in almost any size and shape. The wire mesh substrate creates a turbulent environment, which increases catalytic activity, and when manufactured for diesel applications are designed to serve as a partial filter of particulate matter, important in diesel emission control. We believe that our chemical wash coat formula is proprietary. 10 Our customers have applied our products to meet their own needs, and have, where appropriate, received certification by the EPA, the CARB and other authorities for engine products containing our catalyst products as a component in the certification. Customers have had their engines certified using the our Clean Cat (R), Pro Cat (TM), Quiet Cat (TM) products. Our products are now being marketed both domestically and internationally, including Asia, Europe and Mexico. We offer, and are developing catalyst products which we believe will permit our customers to comply with environmental regulations in effect now and to become effective in the future. Our catalyst products have been EPA/CARB certified in numerous customer diesel and gas powered engines. Our product has been used for third party engine / vehicle certification programs by the Mexico Government for a 1.4; 1.6; 1.8; 2.8 liter on-road application, as well as certification programs by the Mexico Government for a 5.7; 5.9; 6.8 liter on-road application utilizing CNG/LPG fuels. In March 2003, we became the first company to receive a Performance Verification from ETV Canada for our High Performance Diesel Oxidation Catalyst ("DOC"), for utility engines, achieving a 66.7% PM reduction by weighted average. In 2004 we received an ETV Canada Certificate in an award ceremony at the Globe 2004 Environmental Exposition. We received a Gasoline Passenger Vehicle CARB Verification in August 2004.We are the first company in the world to achieve the Level II designation and received in September 2004 an over the road Heavy Duty Diesel DOC Level II CARB Verification. The EPA's Voluntary Diesel Retrofit Program signed a Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") with the State of California Air Resources Board ("ARB") for the coordination and reciprocity in diesel retrofit device verification. The EPA recognizes and accepts those retrofit hardware strategies or device-based systems that have been verified by CARB. Our target markets are in the following sectors: o On road vehicle sector generally comprised of on road trucks, school buses and waste haulers regulated in North America by EPA and CARB standards. o Small engine utility sector comprised of lawn and garden utility diesel engines and regulated in North America by EPA and CARB standards. o Off road engine / vehicle sector defined as construction equipment, tractors, power generators, trains and others. Through our subsidiaries we possess the rights to U.S. and Canadian patents and/or pending patent applications, which combine spark plug and fuel injector technology. By combining the two devices to work together, it is believed that greater fuel efficiency and reduced toxic emissions can be achieved. However this device has not been confirmed in laboratory emissions tests to date. We believe that a successfully developed product combining spark plug and fuel injector technology could be less expensive than separate individual devices. Direct injection is widely recognized by many OEM's as "next generation" technology that substantially boosts the efficiency of conventional gasoline internal combustion engines enabling them to run a highly stratified, lean-burn combustion process over a wider operating range. We market our catalyst products using the trade names, Clean Cat(R), Enviro-Cat(TM), Quiet Cat(TM), Pro Cat(TM) and Air Sentinel(TM). These products are marketed for spark ignited gasoline, CNG/LPG (alternative fuels) and diesel engine emissions control, and range in sizes from utility applications to large industrial uses. Some of our products are presently being used by customers who have had their engines certified using ESW catalysts. In addition to manufacturing our own products, we have established relationships with outside catalytic converter assemblers and marketers that fabricate ready to install products that can incorporate our substrates. This has allowed us to concentrate on what we believe is our core technological competency, which is in the development and manufacture of catalyzed substrates. Prior to 2001, we were a development stage company. Since 2001, when we began selling our spark and compression ignited engine emission control products, we have introduced: o Clean Cat(R) is a High Performance DOC designed to be utilized on diesel engines. o Particulate Reactor(TM) is a high efficiency CARB certified Level II (greater than 50% PM) diesel substrate designed to reduce particulate matter in diesel exhaust. It is also designed to reduce hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and unpleasant odors. o Quiet Cat(TM) is a combination of our catalyst substrates products with a muffler. These systems can be manufactured for diesel, gasoline propane and natural gas fueled internal combustion utility engines. 11 o Enviro Cat(TM) is a three-way gasoline catalytic converter specifically designed for spark ignited internal combustion engine applications. o Pro Cat(TM) is a three-way catalytic converter specifically designed for internal combustion engine applications that use liquid propane gas or liquid natural gas. o Air Sentinel(TM) is a heavy-duty industrial catalytic converter/silencer for stationary engines. The Air Sentinel(TM) can be used on diesel, propane, natural gas and diesel fuel. o RC-2 Cleaning Console(TM) is our patented catalyst cleaning system. It was designed to remove carbon buildup (masking) from the surface of our catalyst substrate. DISTRIBUTION METHODS OF PRODUCTS We have developed certain relationships with OEM's of engines for both automotive and other markets. ESW has developed and employs a strategy whereby it sells products in three principal markets; direct to OEM, producers such as automotive and industrial equipment manufacturers, and in sales to the retrofit and aftermarket or the replacement equipment market through centralized distributors with existing distributions within their individual countries. We also utilize our own sales personnel, local trade magazines and trade shows to complement distribution of our products globally into key markets. We have entered into exclusive marketing, supply and distribution agreements with Fleetguard Emissions Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cummins Inc., whereby we will serve as a preferred supplier to Fleetguard Emissions Solutions for our Particulate Reactor(TM) and Clean Cat(TM) for retrofit applications. While we believe that this relationship will have a beneficial effect on the development of our products and our business, there can be no assurance of this. We have also allied ourselves with other distribution and engine groups in other parts of world. ESW is currently working with key OEM's to develop first fit catalyst applications. We also are currently working with key distributors in both the European and Asian Markets at the government and local levels to develop retrofit catalyst applications. COMPETITION Currently there is intense competition among companies that provide solutions for pollutant emissions for diesel, gasoline and CNG/LPG alternate fueled engines. We compete primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, distribution, customer service, and support. We face direct competition from companies that market products that compete directly with our products with stronger financial, technological, manufacturing and personnel resources. Other companies offer products that potential customers may consider to be acceptable alternatives to our products and services. ESW also faces direct competition with companies who purchase their substrates from others, and do further processing with their own formulas and fabrication for direct sale to the market place. Newly developed products could be more effective and cost efficient than our current products or those we may develop in the future. ESW also faces indirect competition in the form of alternative fuel consumption vehicles, such as those using methanol, hydrogen, ethanol and electricity. ESW believes that Corning Industries is a competitor to ESW products as Corning produces ceramic substrates on a worldwide basis. ESW believes it is cost competitive to Corning's ceramic laminar/flow based substrates and that our product uses less precious metals to achieve similar emission reductions when compared to many Corning based catalyzed substrates. ESW's Particulate Reactor(TM) has proven it has higher emissions reductions compared to conventional catalyzed ceramic Diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) substrates. RAW MATERIALS The primary raw materials used in the manufacture of our products includes, but is not limited to stainless steel, aluminized steel tubing, precious metals such as platinum and palladium and other components. ESW does not carry large inventories of raw materials or finished products in excess of those reasonably required to meet production and shipping schedules. Overall, raw steel and precious metals accounted for the most significant component of ESW's raw materials costs in 2004. We do spot buys of steel from suppliers to meet 12 customer demand. Steel prices increased significantly during 2004 to historical highs. This increase had a negative impact on ESW's gross profit in 2004. Due to increased steel and precious metal prices in 2004 and continuing into 2005, we expect to implement a strategy in an effort to mitigate the effect of rising steel prices on our results of operations. This strategy includes delaying increases from raw material suppliers; selling steel off cuts and scrap at the highest possible price; increase cost reduction programs throughout the business; and lastly negotiate price relief from customers. We do not currently hedge any of our raw materials; however we would consider this approach as demand for our products increase. ESW's results of operations will continue to be adversely affected by higher steel and precious metal prices unless it is successful in passing along these increases to customers or otherwise offset these operating costs. Other raw materials or components purchased by ESW include tools, jigs, fasteners, and other steel and chemical products, all of which are available from numerous sources. CUSTOMERS While we only began the commercial sale of our products during Fiscal 2001, we recorded sales from approximately 26 customers in Fiscal 2004 as compared to 35 in Fiscal 2003. One of these customers accounted for 30% and three other customers each accounted for between 10% and 20% of our revenue in Fiscal 2004. In Fiscal 2003, one customer accounted for 37% and two other customers each accounted for between 10% and 20% of our revenue. We anticipate continuing our program of establishing long-term relationships with our existing customers. Our sales and marketing efforts are designed to create overall awareness of our technology solutions and our manufacturing capabilities in order to have ESW considered and selected to supply its products for new and retrofit applications. Most of our sales and marketing personnel have engineering backgrounds which enable them to understand and participate in the design and engineering aspects of acquiring new business as well as ongoing customer service. When deemed appropriate, ESW also participates in industry trade shows. The loss of, or major reduction in business from, one or more of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position, or results of operations. PATENT AND TRADEMARKS We are developing technologies or furthering the development of acquired technologies through internal research and development efforts by our engineers. Where practical we are seeking to obtain the exclusive rights to use technology related to our industry through patents or licenses for proprietary technologies or processes. Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, we hold both Canadian and US patents and pending applications covering our catalytic converter technology. The protections provided by patents and those sought by pending patents are important to our business, although management believes that no individual right is material to our business at the present time. We own assignable patent rights. There can be no assurance that these patents, combined with pending patent applications or existing or future trade secret protections that we seek will survive legal challenge, or provide meaningful levels of protection. The Canadian patent only affords protection against the manufacture, use or sale of the patented technology within Canada. The US patent application for our diesel catalytic converter, Clean Cat(R) was filed on October 31, 2000 and has not been challenged as of this date. There can be no assurances that any patents we may have or have applied for or any agreements we have in place or enter into will protect our technology and or prevent competitors from employing the use of our design and production information. Moreover, there is no guarantee that our proprietary rights will provide any significant competitive advantages. Additionally, we possess certain registered and pending trademarks. We consider the goodwill associated with our trademarks to be an important part of our developing product identity. PRODUCT CERTIFICATION To date, our customers have acquired, where necessary, engine certifications and catalyst certifications using our products from such authorities as the EPA, Mexico Department of Ecology, and CARB; ESW currently has certification in its own name from the EPA, CARB and the Canada ETV for gasoline and diesel products. We have become the first catalytic substrate manufacturer and catalyst coating company in North America to verify a metallic wire mesh substrate based catalytic converter system as a gasoline retrofit replacement device. It is believed that the receipt of this exemption may allow for potential sales opportunities into the replacement catalytic converter and retrofit market in California. ESW has become the first catalytic substrate manufacturer and catalyst coating company in the world to verify a metallic wire mesh substrate based catalytic converter system as a passive stand alone Level II diesel retrofit replacement device. To date, no other catalyst manufacturer has received this status without the usage of secondary technologies. 13 The California Air Resource Board ("CARB") has established three primary technology levels for diesel catalyst verifications. LEVEL I: Particulate Matter (PM) reduction greater than 25% ------------- LEVEL II: PM reduction greater than 50% ------------ LEVEL III: PM reduction greater than 85% ------------ In September 2004, we received a Level II CARB Executive Order for our advanced Diesel Catalyst (Particulate Reactor (TM)) for all diesel engine models from the 1991 through 1993 model years used in on-road applications operating on standard CARB diesel fuel, and subsequently requested the Executive Order be expanded to include Medium Heavy Duty applications (up to and including 8 liter) for engine models from 1994 through 1997. CARB is presently reviewing this request. Additionally, we received an Executive Order from CARB which permits sale of catalytic converters for use on 4 liter or smaller gas engines for all model years up to 1995 on which GVW (gross vehicle weight) is 3,750 pounds or less. ESW is currently pursuing the expansion of its current product verification for a wider vehicle application range. Our metallic wire mesh substrate catalytic converter system has been used by a customer to obtain verification as a gasoline retrofit device in the Mexico Government initiated on-road PIREC program. This verification covers engine sizes from 1.4 displacement liter to 2.8 liter. Our metallic wire mesh substrate catalytic converter system has been used by a customer to obtain verification as a CNG/LPG retrofit device. This certification is valid when our product is used in conjunction with an IMPCO or a LOVATO fuel management technology. This certification has been issued by the Mexico Government for on-road vehicles with engine sizes ranging from 5.7 liter displacement to 6.8 liter. ESW's products are generally sold according to appropriate government application regulations; however, we do not necessarily need government approval to sell our products into unregulated markets. WARRANTY MATTERS We may face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability and warranty claims in the event that our products fail to perform as expected. We cannot assure that we will not experience any material warranty or product liability losses in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to defend such claims. In addition, if any of the products are or are alleged to be defective; we may be required to participate in a recall involving such products. Each of our customers has its own policy regarding product recalls and other product liability actions relating to its suppliers. A successful claim brought against ESW or a requirement to participate in a product recall may have a material adverse effect on our business. Some OEMs and emission solution customers are also increasingly requiring their outside suppliers to guarantee or warrant their products and bear the costs of repair and replacement of such products. Depending on the terms under which we supply products to these customers, the customer may hold us responsible for some or all of the repair or replacement costs of defective products, when the product supplied did not perform as represented. We carry insurance for certain legal matters including product liability; however, we do not carry insurance for recall matters, as the cost and availability for such insurance, in the opinion of management, is cost prohibitive or not available. To date we have not had any product warranty matters. MANUFACTURING We are making capital investments in manufacturing capability to support our products. We are in the process of setting up the production line equipment necessary to produce our metallic substrates from the base materials, along with the equipment needed to apply the final chemical wash coat and catalyst materials. Our new substrate manufacturing plant located in Concord Ontario, Canada, is intended to enable us to control the complete manufacturing process required for production of catalyzed substrates. Catalyzed substrates are the integral part of all catalytic converter systems sold worldwide. 14 We are also making a capital investment in our Tech Center based in Montgomeryville Pennsylvania. This facility will be manufacturing and providing the catalytic and chemical wash coat solutions for the new Concord Ontario plant. As well all of our emission testing laboratories and testing capabilities are located there. The new 40,200 sq ft facility will house a state of the art 18,000 sq ft expansion of "Air Testing Services", our EPA/CARB recognized engine/vehicle emissions testing lab. The new facilities will include several new testing systems. In addition to our existing laboratory testing capabilities, we have acquired a new heavy duty and an additional light duty truck chassis dynamometer. In addition a 500 horse power heavy-duty-diesel transient engine emissions test dynamometer and additional analytical test instruments has been purchased. It is believed that the Air Testing Services ("ATS") group will now be equipped to better service our clientele for engine testing as well as EPA/CARB emissions testing and certification programs. ATS will also be in a better position to provide additional testing support for our internal research and development ("R&D") programs. The upgrading of our manufacturing and testing capabilities are required to increase the flexibility, efficiency and improve the operating quality, while minimizing the overall effective costs, to produce our products. We utilize our ISO 9001:2000 protocols and structured communication meetings at all levels of manufacturing to provide training and instruction as well as to assure a cohesive, focused effort toward common goals. ESW encourages employee involvement in all aspects of its business and views such involvement as a key element in its future success. ESW also pursues involvement from its suppliers and customers, which it believes is necessary to assure a consistent high quality and on time delivery of raw materials, components and finished products. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Prior to fiscal 2001, we were a research and development company. Starting in fiscal 2001, we began the transition from a development stage to an operating (manufacturing) company. During the last three fiscal years, $50,375 was spent on research and development activities. We believe that, through a combination of proprietary methods for improving our catalyzed substrates there are prospects for the development of innovative applications outside of our present product line. We continue to expense further resources on new research and development projects. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS ESW is presently engaged in a business that does not generate significant hazardous wastes. Our facilities may have tanks for storage of diesel fuel and other petroleum products that are subject to laws regulating such storage tanks. Federal, state, and local provisions relating to the protection of the environment have not had, and are not expected to have, a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position, and results of operations. However, like all manufacturers, if a release of hazardous substances occurs ESW may be held liable for the contamination, and the amount of such liability could be material. While ESW devotes resources designed to maintaining compliance with these requirements, there can be no assurance that ESW operates at all times in complete compliance with all such requirements. EMPLOYEES ESW and its subsidiaries presently employ 37 full-time and 10 part-time employees. We do not have any collective bargaining agreements and considers our relationship with our employees to be good. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY We do not own real property. Through our subsidiary ESW Canada, Inc. we lease our executive, sales and marketing offices as well as our production center which total approximately 50,000 square feet located at 335 Connie Crescent Court, Concord, Ontario Canada under an offer to lease that expires July 14, 2010. Additionally, our wholly owned subsidiary ESW America, Inc. leases approximately 40,220 square feet at 2 Bethlehem Pike Industrial Center, Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania. The leasehold space is intended to house our research and development facilities. The lease expires January 31, 2010. We also currently lease our office and factory located at 132 Penn Avenue, in Telford, Pennsylvania on a month-to-month basis. 15 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS This Registration Statement contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties as well as assumptions that if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although our forward looking statements reflect the good faith judgment of our management, these statements can only be based on facts and the factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward looking statement are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from results and outcomes discussed in the forward looking statements. GENERAL ESW develops, manufactures and sells environmental technology solutions, and is currently focused on the international automotive, transportation and utility engine industries. We manufacture and market a line of catalytic control products including a line of finished catalytic muffler products, proprietary catalytic converter substrates and catalytic conversion technologies for a number of applications. We also offer emissions testing and certification services. We have developed commercially viable proprietary catalytic converter technologies for diesel, gasoline and alternative (CNG/LPG) fueled combustion engines. The unique technology consists of a wire based mesh substrate and wash coat formulas, which form the basis for the catalyzed substrate. The finished product can be produced in a myriad of sizes and shapes. The substrate creates a turbulent flow environment. This increases catalytic activity and serves as a filter of particulate matter, important in diesel emission control. Our catalyst products have been extensively tested in house, as well as by Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM's) and by independent third parties. Management believes they demonstrate superior performance to comparable competing products. ESW's customers have incorporated our products to meet their own needs, and have, in specific instances, received certification for their product applications from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Customers have had their engines certified using our Clean Cat (R), Pro Cat (TM), Quiet Cat (TM) catalyst products and services. Our catalyst products are being marketed both domestically and internationally, including in such continents as Asia, Europe and countries as Canada and Mexico. In September 2004, we received a Level II California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order for our proprietary advanced Diesel Catalyst (Particulate Reactor TM) for all diesel engine models from the 1991 through 1993 model years used in on-road applications operating on standard CARB diesel fuel, and subsequently requested the Executive Order be expanded to include Medium Heavy Duty applications (up to and including 8 liter) for engine models from 1994 through 1997. CARB is presently reviewing this request. Additionally, we have received an Executive Order from CARB which permits sale of catalytic converters for use on 4 liter or smaller gas engines for all model years up to 1995 on which GVW (gross vehicle weight) is 3,750 pounds or less. ESW is in full compliance with ISO 9001:2000, the ISO standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization which provide an international benchmark for quality systems and foundation for continuous improvement and assurance in design, development and manufacturing. The ISO mandates that ESW follow strict quality guidelines, administrative protocol and safety procedures to a recognized international standardized code. ISO auditors confirm compliance by auditing ESW periodically. ESW passed its most recent surveillance audit in June 2005, and is in full compliance with the ISO requirements. We currently hold a full registration certificate effective until March of 2007. Management considers an ISO certification essential to doing business with many export customers. COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $166,988, or 10 percent, to $1,906,704 from $1,739,715 for 2003. ESW experienced an overall revenue growth in both the gas and diesel finished converter lines of $215,634. Factors that favorably impacted revenue in 2004 are attributable to our continuing efforts at gaining acceptance of our products by our customers and the CARB certification of one of our products, which lead to two orders from new customers, based on this certification. The factor that offset these favorable items was the impact of lower revenue from our ATS testing services of $48,646 as ESW focused much of its attention and effort at completing and subsequently in the second half of 2004 obtaining two CARB executive exemption orders for its products. 16 Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $313,555, or 36.7 percent, to $1,166,653 from $853,098 for 2003. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 61.1 percent, which is up compared to 49.0 percent for 2003. The increase is due to an elevation of prices across the board for both steel prices and precious metals that are the two main components used in our products. An increase in direct labor costs also contributed to the higher overall costs, leading to a lower gross margin. The gross margin for 2004 was 38.9 percent as compared to a gross margin of 51.0 percent for 2003. Due to increased steel and precious metal prices in 2004 and continuing into 2005, we expect to implement a strategy in an effort to mitigate the effect of rising steel prices on our results of operations. This strategy includes delaying increases from raw material suppliers; selling steel off cuts and scrap at the highest possible price; increase cost reduction programs throughout the business; and lastly negotiate price relief from customers. We do not currently hedge any of our precious metals materials; however we would consider this approach as demand for its products increase. Our results of operations will continue to be adversely affected by higher steel and precious metal prices unless it is successful in passing along these increases to our customers or otherwise offset these operating costs. Marketing, office and general expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $390,381, or 42.5 percent, to $1,308,788 from $918,407 in 2003. As a percentage of revenue, marketing, office and general expenses increased to 68.6 percent for 2004, compared to 52.8 percent for 2003. The increase as a percentage of sales is primarily the result of an increase in payroll costs of $193,653 as we added employees in conjunction with its certification programs and sales efforts, as well as the result of higher wages paid. An increase of $46,096 from investor relations and warrant amortization interest as it related to the issuance of the convertible debentures in September 2004. An increase of $78,677 related to travel and general costs as the company planned its expansion of two new facilities and an increase of $71,957 due to higher shop and research and development related costs. Officer's compensation and director's fees for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $172,178, or 77.5 percent, to $394,178 from $222,222 in 2003. As a percentage of revenue, officer's compensation and director's fees increased to 20.6 percent for 2004, compared to 12.8 percent for 2003.The increase was due to employment contracts that became effective in 2004. Consulting and professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $163,597, or 81 percent, to $365,715 from $202,118 in 2003. As a percentage of revenue, consulting and professional fees increased to 19.2 percent for 2004, compared to 11.6 percent for 2003. The increase is due in part to consulting fees related for the work necessary for the CARB certifications received by ESW in September 2004 as well as costs related to the development and implementation of our two new facilities. Interest expense on long-term debt was $72,364 in 2004 as opposed to nil in 2003. In September 2004, we issued $6.1 million of convertible debentures in which the basis of conversion into our common stock is $0.50 per share, which includes warrants to purchase an additional 3.05 million shares of common stock at $1.00 per share which were subsequently reset to an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The debentures are for a term of three (3) years and earn interest at the rate of 4%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our principal sources of operating capital have been the proceeds of our various financing transactions. As of December 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,633,013. Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $4,546,127 to $4,633,013 from $86,886 at December 31, 2003. Net Cash used in operating activities in 2004 amounted to $1,476,229 which was mainly attributable to the loss, net of depreciation, amortization, amortization of the fair value of the debenture warrant, and the compensation value of option grants of $1,295,870 and the increase in operating assets and liabilities of $180,359. Net Cash used in investing activities was $355,807 for 2004 as compared to $46,204 in 2003. The capital expenditures in 2004 were primarily dedicated to the purchase of equipment and leaseholds for the our research and development facilities located in Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania. 17 Net cash provided in financing activities totaled $6,362,607 for 2004 as compared to $ 247,000 for 2003. The net cash provided in 2004 was primarily to support general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and for working capital needs. Net cash provided in 2004 was primarily related to financing activities during 2004 as a result of cash received from the offering of 4 percent unsecured convertible debentures due September 13, 2007 of $6,100,000 and proceeds from warrant exercises of $262,607. ESW made substantial capital investments in manufacturing capability to support its products. We are in the process of setting up the production line equipment necessary to produce our proprietary metallic substrates from the base materials, along with the equipment needed to apply the final chemical wash coat and catalyst materials. When complete, this new substrate manufacturing plant located in Concord Ontario, Canada, is intended to enable ESW to control the complete manufacturing process required for production of catalyzed substrates. Catalyzed substrates are the integral part of all catalytic converter systems sold worldwide. We are also making a capital investment in our new Tech Center based in Montgomeryville Pennsylvania. This facility will be manufacturing and providing the catalytic and chemical wash coat products for the new Concord Ontario plant. As well all of our emission testing laboratories and testing capabilities will be located there. The new 40,200 sq ft facility will house a state of the art 18,000 sq ft expansion of "Air Testing Services", our EPA/CARB recognized engine/vehicle emissions testing lab. The new facilities will include several new testing systems. In addition to ESW's existing laboratory testing capabilities, we have acquired additional heavy duty and light duty truck chassis dynamometers, as well as a heavy-duty-diesel transient engine emissions test dynamometer, and additional analytical test instruments. ESW has proposed a budget for an estimated capital expenditure of $1,500,000 to put into operation the new manufacturing facility in Concord Ontario Canada. As well, an estimated budget of $800,000 has been proposed to upgrade our emissions testing and research and development department in Montgomeryville Pennsylvania. Both these plans are currently being implemented and as at the end of December 31, 2004, approximately $350,000 has been spent on these projects. We believe this capital expenditure will improve our retention of small to medium-sized customers while at the same time provide us with added sales capacity for higher-end selling solutions. It is anticipated that the expansion of our testing facilities will bring increase revenue, as ATS will now have the capacity to service larger customers. The proposed capital expenditures and our intent to capitalize on an anticipated increase in demand for our products are the steps that we are taking to try to become profitable and generate positive cash flow. However, there can be no assurances that these steps will be completed or that we will become profitable. Should we not become profitable before this money is expensed, we will need to continue to finance our operations through other capital financings. We continue to seek, equity financing and/or debt financing in the form of private placements at favorable terms, or the exercise of currently outstanding options or warrants that would provide additional capital in order to make available all opportunities and keep our options flexible. However, such additional financing may not be available to us, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. We intend to retain any future earnings to retire debt, finance the expansion of our business and any necessary capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. A top priority for us in fiscal 2005 is core growth which is the gaining of market share in underrepresented markets, and the targeting of our product segments in which demand is growing the fastest. We are seeking to expand into markets such as Europe and Asia, as new opportunities within that region are opening up, in an effort to build solidly on our core business. To ensure that we capture the fastest growing product technologies, we continue to explore possible joint venture agreements and or the introduction of new products and or technologies. Our success is dependent upon our ability to charge adequate prices for the products and services we offer. Depending on competitive market factors, future prices we can charge for our products and services we offer may vary and may impact our profitability. Competition is based largely upon technology, performance, pricing, quality, reliability, distribution, and customer support. A number of companies worldwide with significant financial resources or customer relationships compete with us to provide similar products and services, such as Johnson Matthey, Engelhard and OMG (Degussa) Our competitors may be positioned to offer more favorable product and service terms to the marketplace, resulting in reduced profitability and loss of market share for us. Financial pressures faced by our competitors may cause them to engage in uneconomic pricing practices, which could cause the prices that we are able to charge in the future for our products and services to be less than we have historically charged. Our future success is based in large part upon our ability to successfully compete in the markets we currently serve and to expand into additional product and service offerings. Our failure to do so could lead to a loss of market share for us, resulting in a material adverse effect on our results of operations. 18 ESW's operating profitability requires that we increase our sales and lower our overall cost to manufacture our products and improve both sales and administrative productivity through process, and system enhancements. This will be largely dependent on the success of our initiatives to streamline our infrastructure and drive our operational efficiencies across our company. Our failure to successfully implement these initiatives, or the failure of such initiatives to result in improved profit margins, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position, and results of operations. The principal raw materials that we use are steel, and precious metals such as platinum. The metals industry as a whole is cyclical and at times pricing and availability of raw materials in the metals industry can be volatile due to numerous factors beyond our control, including general, domestic and international economic conditions, labor costs, production levels, competition, import duties and tariffs and currency exchange rates. This volatility can significantly affect the availability and cost of raw materials, and may, therefore, adversely affect our net sales, and operating margin. During periods of rising raw materials pricing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to pass any portion of such increases on to our customers. When raw material prices decline, customer demands for lower prices could result in lower sale prices and, as we use existing inventory, resulting in lower margins. Changing steel and platinum prices could adversely affect our operating margin and net income. We expect an increase in consulting and audit fees related to the impact of our Sarbanes-Oxley internal control certification efforts, with which we are required to be in compliance by December 31, 2006. ESW has 700,000 Class A special shares of $ 453,900 (based on the historical exchange rate at the time of issuance.), authorized, issued, and outstanding. The Class A special shares are issued by ESW's wholly-owned subsidiary BBL Technologies, Inc. ("BBL") without par value, and are redeemable on demand by the Holder of the shares which is a private Ontario Corporation at $700,000 CDN (which translates to ($583,333 USD) at December 31, 2004. As the Class A special shares were issued by ESW's wholly-owned subsidiary BBL, the maximum value upon which ESW is liable is the net book value of BBL. At December 31, 2004 BBL had an accumulated deficit and therefore would be unable to redeem the Class A special shares at their ascribed value. DEBT STRUCTURE In September 2004, we issued $6.1 million of convertible debentures in which the basis of conversion into our common stock is $0.50 per share, which includes warrants to purchase an additional 3.05 million shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The debentures are for a term of three (3) years and earn interest at the rate of 4% per annum. We have computed the fair-value of the warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes method and apportioned the fair value of the debt and warrants accordingly. As a result, the debentures were discounted by $528,000, which is being amortized over the three (3) year life of the debentures. The effective yield on the debenture is 4.38%. The principal of this debenture is payable in U.S. currency or, at the option of ESW, in shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at $.50 per share. At ESW's option, interest on the debenture will be payable in cash or shares of common stock under a conversion formulas as provided in the debenture. ESW's ability to service its indebtedness in cash will depend on its future performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors. Certain of these factors are beyond ESW's control. ESW believes that, based upon its current business plan, it will be able to meet its debt service obligations when due. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that ESW will be successful in implementing its business strategy and that there will be no material adverse developments in its business, liquidity or capital requirements. If ESW cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service its indebtedness and to meet its other obligations and commitments, ESW might be required to refinance its debt or to dispose of assets to obtain funds for such purpose. There is no assurance that refinancing or asset dispositions could be effected on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all, or raise funds through asset sales, sales of equity or otherwise, its ability to pay principal of, and interest on, its debt would be impaired. On such circumstance, ESW would have to issue shares of its Common stock as repayment of this debt which would be of a dilutive nature to its present shareholders. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS Effective November 24, 2004, our wholly owned subsidiary ESW America, Inc. entered into a lease agreement for approximately 40,220 square feet of leasehold space, intended to house our research and development facilities in Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania. The lease commenced on January 15, 2005 and expires January 31, 2010. Effective December 20, 2004, our wholly owned subsidiary ESW Canada, Inc. entered into a lease agreement for approximately 50,000 square feet of leasehold space intended to house the Company's executive offices and a manufacturing plant located in Concord, Ontario Canada. 19 The following breakdown (as of March 31, 2005) is the total, of the minimum annual lease payments, for both leases. 2005 $342,079 2006 $433,569 2007 $433,569 2008 $440,585 2009 $444,093 2010 $102,784 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS None of ESW's revenues during the year ended December 31, 2004 were derived from manufacturing operations in Canada. The results of operations and the financial position of ESW's operations in Canada is principally measured in Canadian currency and translated into U.S. dollars. The future effects of foreign currency fluctuations between U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars will be somewhat mitigated by the fact that expenses will be generally incurred in the same currency in which revenues will be generated. The future reported income of our Canadian subsidiary will be higher or lower depending on a weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian currency. A small portion of ESW's assets at December 31, 2004 are based in its foreign operation and are translated into U.S. dollars at foreign currency exchange rates in effect as of the end of each period, Accordingly, ESW's consolidated stockholders' investment will fluctuate depending upon the weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian currency. ESW's strategy for management of currency risk relies primarily upon conducting its operations in the countries' respective currency and ESW may, from time to time, engage in hedging intended to reduce ESW's exposure to currency fluctuations. At December 31, 2004, ESW had no outstanding forward exchange contracts. YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenue for 2003 decreased to $1.7 million from $1.9 million in 2002, or 8.5%. Much of the decrease in revenue occurred in the second half of the year as compared to the year-ago period, and is attributable to our focus on completing the gas and diesel certifications of our products. Cost of sales decreased disproportionately by 15%, and as a result gross profit actually improved by nearly 8% to 50.9% as compared to 47.3% in 2002. Operating costs continued to decrease by $366 thousand or 18.1% to $1.65 million, as we reduced our dependence on outside professionals and consultants ($194 thousand) and continued its efforts to reduce other operating expenses as reflected by the reduction in marketing, office and general and administrative costs ($127 thousand). Due to the continued reduction in operating costs, we were able to reduce our loss from operations to $770 thousand, a reduction of $353 thousand or more than 31% from fiscal 2002 when we reported a loss of $1.12 million. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our cash and equivalents decreased by $24 thousand and our working capital decreased by $236 thousand in Fiscal 2003 as a result of our continuing operating losses. 20 The operating loss of $770 thousand was substantially funded through non-cash expenses of $333 thousand, the sale of common stock of $247 thousand and the collection of accounts receivable of $250 thousand offset by an increase in inventory of $103 thousand. Relatively insignificant increases in property, patents and trademarks were offset by similar increases in accounts payable. While we diligently pursue viable operations, we may need to obtain either additional equity or debt financing to enable us to sustain the level of operations that we believe will be necessary to achieve and maintain profitable operations. COMPARISON OF NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 TO NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 increased by $1,007,135, or 82.8 percent, to $2,223,605 from $1,216,470 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. Factors that favorably impacted revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 included repeat orders from existing customers for the company's diesel substrate products. Cost of sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 increased by $539,531, or 76.2 percent, to $ 1,247,290 from $707,759 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was 56.1 percent, compared to 58.2 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. The gross margin for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was 43.9 percent compared to a gross margin of 41.8 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. Marketing, office and general expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 increased by $1,366,376, or 151.1 percent, to $2,270,617 from $ 904,241 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in payroll costs of $ 560,044 as the Company added employees in conjunction with its Research and Development certification programs, sales efforts, and office staff. An increase of $ 215,033 from investor relations and warrant amortization interest, as it related to the issuance of the convertible debentures in September 2004. An increase of $61,821 related to general costs as the company continues to complete it's expansion of two new facilities and an increase of $ 529,478 due to higher rent and utility costs for the new facility in Montgomeryville PA. and Concord Ontario, Canada, non-employee related engineering development costs supporting new research and development programs and the increase general and administrative expenses to further support organic growth. As a percentage of revenue, marketing, office and general expenses increased to 102.1 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to 74.3 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. 21 Officer's compensation and director's fees for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 decreased by $39,772, or 13.0 percent, to $266,731 from $ 306,503 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. As a percentage of revenue, officer's compensation and director's fees decreased to 12.0 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to 25.2 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.The decrease was due to a change in management. Consulting and professional fees for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 increased by $ 46,212, or 16.8 percent, to $ 321,953 from $ 275,741 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. The increase is due in part to fees related to the development and implementation of the Companies two new facilities currently underway. As a percentage of revenue, consulting and professional fees decreased to 14.5 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to 22.7 percent for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. Interest expense on long-term debt was $183,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 as opposed to $19,719 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. In September 2004, the Company issued $6.1 million of convertible debentures in which the basis of conversion into the Company's common stock is $0.50 per share, which includes warrants to purchase an additional 3.05 million shares of common stock exercisable at $1.00 per share which subsequently have been adjusted to an exercise price of $0.85 a share effective April 21, 2005. The debentures are for a term of three (3) years and earn interest at the rate of 4%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our principal sources of operating capital have been the proceeds of our various financing transactions. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,862,740. Net Cash used in operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $ 2,289,408 as compared to $ 909,976 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. The increase was mainly attributable to the loss, net of depreciation, amortization, provision for uncollectible accounts, amortization of the fair value of the debenture warrant of $ 1,868,284. As well as an increase in operating assets and liabilities of $ 421,124 which was primarily due to an increase of inventory as the company begins to position itself for ongoing manufacturing, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net Cash used in investing activities was $ 2,325,239 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $ 62,412 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. The capital expenditures in the first three quarters of 2005 were primarily dedicated to the purchase of equipment and leaseholds for the Company's research and development facility located in Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania, and the manufacturing facility in Concord Ontario, Canada. Net cash provided in financing activities totaled $ 3,844,374 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $ 6,362,607 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. On April 21, 2005, the Company closed an initial traunche of a private placement offering. Pursuant to a subscription agreement with one accredited investor, the Company received $2 million and issued 2,352,941 shares of common stock; three year warrants to purchase 1,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share; three year warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share; and three year warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Effective April 21, 2005, in conjunction with the offering, the Company adjusted the exercise price of 3,050,000 three year warrants previously issued to nine (9) accredited investors including AB Odnia an entity affiliated with Bengt Odner a director of the Company from $1.00 per share to $0.85 per share in accordance with the terms of the warrants previously issued by the Company September 15, 2004. On July 5, 2005, the Company completed a second traunche of a private placement offering. Pursuant to subscription agreements with three accredited investors, the Company received an aggregate of $1,850,000 and issued 2,176,470 shares of common stock; three year warrants to purchase 1,202,500 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share; three year warrants to purchase 185,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share; and three year warrants to purchase 185,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with the offering, the Company entered into registration rights agreements with the investors and agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement for the resale of the common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the agreement. 22 The Company intends to use the proceeds from these placements for due diligence and investigating compliance issues for potential listing of the Company's securities on new exchanges and for general corporate purposes. ESW's principal source of liquidity is cash provided by financing activities. ESW's principal use of liquidity will be to finance capital expenditures and to provide working capital availability. ESW expects that total capital expenditures for 2005 will be approximately $3.7 million. These capital expenditures will be used primarily for equipment and facility improvements. These capital expenditures and our intent to capitalize on an anticipated increase in demand for our products are the steps that we are taking to try to become profitable and generate positive cash flow. However, there can be no assurances that these steps will be completed or that we will become profitable. Based on ESW's current operating plan, management believes cash at September 30, 2005 is sufficient to meet operating needs for at least the next twelve months. Should we not become profitable before this money is expensed, we will need to continue to finance our operations through other capital financings. We continue to seek, equity financing and/or debt financing in the form of private placements at favorable terms, or the exercise of currently outstanding options or warrants that would provide additional capital in order to make available all opportunities and keep our options flexible. However, such additional financing may not be available to us, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. We intend to retain any future earnings to retire debt, finance the expansion of our business and any necessary capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. ESW's operating profitability requires that we increase our sales and lower our overall cost to manufacture our products and improve both sales and administrative productivity through process, and system enhancements. This will be largely dependent on the success of our initiatives to streamline our infrastructure and drive our operational efficiencies across our company. Our failure to successfully implement these initiatives, or the failure of such initiatives to result in improved profit margins, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position, and results of operations. We expect an increase in consulting and audit fees related to the impact of our Sarbanes-Oxley internal control certification efforts, with which we are required to be in compliance by December 31, 2006. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued its final standard on accounting for share-based payments, SFAS 123R (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payments" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other similar awards, effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, we have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting SFAS 123R. DEBT STRUCTURE In September 2004, the Company issued $6.1 million of convertible debentures in which the basis of conversion into the Company's common stock is $0.50 per share, which includes warrants to purchase an additional 3.05 million shares of common stock at $1.00 per share which was subsequently adjusted to $0.85 on April 21, 2005, in accordance with the terms of the warrants previously issued by the Company September 15, 2004. The debentures are for a term of three (3) years and earn interest at the rate of 4% per annum. The Company has computed the fair-value of the warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes method and apportioned the fair value of the debt and warrants accordingly. As a result, the debentures were discounted by $528,000, which is being amortized over the three (3) year life of the debentures. The effective yield on the debenture is 4.38%. The principal of this Debenture is payable in U.S. currency or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at $.50 per share. At the Company's option, interest on the Debenture will be payable in cash or shares of Common Stock under a conversion formulas as provided in the debenture. On November 7, 2005, the Company elected to issue shares of common stock as payment of interest earned on our 4% convertible debentures. A total of 348,571 shares of common stock were issued to 10 debenture holders for the $244,000 of accrued interest, as per the terms of the debentures. 23 ESW's ability to service its indebtedness in cash will depend on its future performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors. Certain of these factors are beyond ESW's control. ESW believes that, based upon its current business plan, it will be able to meet its debt service obligations when due. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that ESW will be successful in implementing its business strategy and that there will be no material adverse developments in its business, liquidity or capital requirements. If ESW cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service its indebtedness and to meet its other obligations and commitments, ESW might be required to refinance its debt or to dispose of assets to obtain funds for such purpose. There is no assurance that refinancing or asset dispositions could be effected on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all, or raise funds through asset sales, sales of equity or otherwise, its ability to pay principal of, and interest on, its debt would be impaired. On such circumstance, ESW would have to issue shares of its Common stock as repayment of this debt which would be of a dilutive nature to its present shareholders. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements." The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes resulting from adoption of a new accounting pronouncement that does not specify transition requirements. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements for changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 with early implementation permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this statement is issued. SFAS 154 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2006 and will be applied when applicable. In December 2004, FASB Statement No.123 (revised), "Share-based Payment" was issued. This Statement requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the income statement. FASB 123 (revised) eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in APB Opinion No.25. The Company will as required adopt as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15th, 2005, FASB Statement 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" as amended by FASB Statement 148, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation Transition and Disclosure". The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No.148 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and the Company modified its disclosures in its quarterly reports commencing with the quarter ended March, 2003 as provided for in that standard. No new accounting pronouncements have been issued during the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 that would have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company has reviewed the status of its accounting pronouncements and believes there are no significant changes from that disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, except as provided in this Form 10-QSB. 24 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS None of ESW's revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 were derived from manufacturing operations in Canada. It is anticipated that revenue from the Canadian operation will be generated in the fourth quarter. The results of operations and the financial position of ESW's operations in Canada is principally measured in Canadian currency and translated into U.S. dollars. The future effects of foreign currency fluctuations between U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars will be somewhat mitigated by the fact that expenses will be generally incurred in the same currency in which revenues will be generated. The future reported income of our Canadian subsidiary will be higher or lower depending on a weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian currency. A portion of ESW's assets at September 30, 2005 are based in its foreign operation and are translated into U.S. dollars at foreign currency exchange rates in effect as of the end of each period, Accordingly, ESW's consolidated stockholders' investment will fluctuate depending upon the weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian currency. ESW's strategy for management of currency risk relies primarily upon conducting its operations in the countries' respective currency and ESW may, from time to time, engage in hedging intended to reduce ESW's exposure to currency fluctuations. At September 30, 2005, ESW had no outstanding forward exchange contracts.

Each selling security holder may sell the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change or at negotiated prices, by a variety of methods including the following: o in the over-the-counter market or on a national securities exchange (any of which may include crosses and block transactions); o in privately-negotiated transactions; o through broker dealers, who may act as agents or principals, including through ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which broker solicits purchasers; o in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell a block of shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o through one or more underwriters, dealers and agents, on a firm commitment or best effort basis, who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or omissions from a seller and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agent; o through exchange distributions in accordance with applicable rules; o directly to one or more purchasers; o through agents; o through option transactions, forward contracts, equity swaps or other derivative transactions relating to the securities; o to cover permissible short sales made of the securities; o in any combination of the above; and o in any other lawful manner. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by a selling security holder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in a resale. Certain shares may also be sold pursuant to Rule 144. The selling security holder shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time. The selling security holders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that the selling security holders will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling security holders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this Prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling security holders.

The selling security holders have not entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into. If the selling security holders enter into such an agreement or agreements, the relevant details will be set forth in a supplement or revisions to this prospectus. Each selling security holder and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M.

Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited form simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares of common stock, although we have paid the expenses of preparing this prospectus and the related registration We have agreed to indemnify certain selling security holder, and its transferees or assignees, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments a selling security holder and its respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

(34) Includes 15,000 options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share expiring August 11, 2007. </FN> SUBSEQUENT EVENT On November 7, 2005, we elected to issue shares of our common stock as payment of interest earned on our 4% convertible debentures issued in September 2004. A total of 348,571 shares of common stock were issued to 10 debenture holders per the debentures. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE On October 20, 2004, our former certified accountants, Goldstein and Morris Certified Public Accountants, P.C. resigned as they advised us that they no longer had the resources available to service the company. Goldstein and Morris was previously appointed as our certifying accountants on February 5, 2001. Goldstein and Morris' reports on the financial statements for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except as previously disclosed in our 10-KSB reports for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 which included the following statement: "The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and lacks a sufficient source of revenue, which raises substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty." During the period in which Goldstein and Morris audited our financial statements and the interim period in which Goldstein and Morris served as our certifying accountants, there were no disagreement(s) with Goldstein and Morris on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Goldstein and Morris, would have caused Goldstein and Morris to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement(s) in connection with its audit report. 38 On November 5, 2004, our Board of Directors engaged Mintz & Partners LLP to audit our consolidated financial statements. During the two most recent fiscal years and through November 5, 2004, we had not consulted with Mintz regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided that was an important factor considered in our reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement. LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the issuance of the shares being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Baratta & Goldstein, New York, New York. A portion of the shares being registered herein are being issued to ESW's attorney in such law firm for services provided to ESW. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements and schedule of Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, have been incorporated by reference herein and in the registration statement in reliance upon the reports of Mintz and Partners, Chartered Accountants, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The auditor for the Company's 2002 and 2003 financial statements have not permitted use of their report in the Company's registration statement. The Company's prior auditors resigned effective October 20, 2004 as the firm advised that it was no longer able to service our needs as a public company. The resignation was not sought or recommended by our audit committee or our Board of Directors. We subsequently learned that our prior auditors were no longer an active operating entity engaged in the practice of public accounting and auditing work. Due to our prior auditor's resignation and discontinuation of its public practice, investors and shareholders of our common stock may have limited recourse against our prior auditors in the event of any claims associated with prior work performed on our behalf.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. as at December 31, 2004 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flow for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. as of December 31, 2003, and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated February 26, 2004. We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc as at December 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and the cash flow for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

It manufactures and markets a line of catalytic control products including a boutique line of finished products, proprietary catalytic converter substrates and catalytic conversion technologies for a number of applications as well as providing engine testing and certification services. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ESW America, Inc., ESW Technologies, Inc., ESW Canada, Inc. and BBL Technologies, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated. ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company's cash balances, which are maintained in various banks, are insured up to $100,000 for each bank by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The balances at times may exceed these limits. Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customer's financial condition and generally does not require collateral from those customers. Four of those customers accounted for 30%, 17%, 12% and 11%, respectively of the Company's revenue in Fiscal 2004 and 62%, 9%, 5% and 2%, respectively of its accounts receivable as of December 31, 2004. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management's assessment of the credit history with the customer and current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that a reserve of $15,504 was appropriate as of December 31, 2004 and that no allowance for doubtful accounts was required as of December 31, 2003. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in first-out) or market. Inventories are periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary. F7 PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS Patents and trademarks consist primarily of the costs incurred to acquire them from an independent third party. SFAS No. 142 requires intangible assets with a definite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset. Patents and trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated life of ten years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $214,599 and $214,569, respectively. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying value amounts of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its catalytic products. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed and determinable, risk of ownership has passed to the customer and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company also derives revenue (less than 10% of total revenue) from providing air testing and environmental certification services. Revenues from these services are recognized upon performance. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic Earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share when their effect is antidilutive. Therefore diluted loss per share has not been calculated for 2004. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. SFAS 109 requires a company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in a company's financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. F8 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for common stock purchase options and warrants granted to non- employees pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS No. 123) and Emerging Issues Task Force ("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." These standards require that the fair value of equity instruments, including options and warrants, be recognized in the financial statements. FAS No. 123 permits a company to account for employee stock options under the method specified by the previous standard, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under APB No. 25, if the exercise price of fixed employee stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded. For such options, FAS No. 123 requires disclosure of, among other things, the fair value of options granted, the assumptions used in determining the fair value and the pro-forma effect on earnings as if the measurement provisions of FAS No. 123 had been applied. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company follows SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets' carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, if future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets are less than their carrying values, an impairment loss is recognized. No impairment loss has been required for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In December 2004, FASB Statement No.123 (revised), "Share-based Payment" was issued. This Statement requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the income statement. FASB 123 (revised) eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in APB Opinion No.25. The Company will as required adopt as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15th, 2005, FASB Statement 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" as amended by FASB Statement 148, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation Transition and Disclosure". The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No.148 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and the Company modified its disclosures in its quarterly reports commencing with the quarter ended March, 2003 as provided for in that standard. In December 2004, FASB Statement No.153, "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets - An Amendment to APB Opinion No. 29" was issued. The Statement eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance - that is, transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. The requirements of FASB 153 do not have an effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2004, FASB Statement No. 151, "Inventory Costs - An Amendment of ARB No.43, Chapter 4" was issued. The Statement clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. Additionally, allocation of fixed overheads to the costs of conversion should be based on the normal capacity of production facilities. The requirements of FASB 151 do not effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. F9 In July 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on EITF No. 02-14, "Whether an Investor Should Apply the Equity Method of Accounting to Investments Other Than Common Stock". EITF 02-14 addresses circumstances in which companies acquire the right to significantly influence the operations of another entity without owning a voting interest in that entity. The Financial Accounting Standards Board at its July 16, 2004 meeting ratified EITF 02-14. The adoption of EITF 02-14 is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. In April 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on EITF No. 03-06, "Participating Securities and the Two-class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share". EITF 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating, including how to allocate undisturbed earnings to such a security. EITF 03-06 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004. The requirements of EITF 03-06 do not have an effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. NOTE 4- CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. NOTE 5 - INVENTORY Inventories as of December 31, 2004 are summarized as follows: Raw materials $ 302,184 Work-In-Process 58,515 Finished goods 15,979 ------------ $ 376,678 ============ NOTE 6 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment at December 31, 2004 consists of the following: 2004 ------------ Machinery and equipment $ 874,627 Office equipment 54,078 Furniture & fixtures 159,508 Vehicles 12,015 Leasehold improvements 56,070 ------------ 1,156,298 Less: accumulated depreciation 467,537 ------------ $ 688,761 =========== F10 NOTE 7- REDEEMABLE CLASS A SPECIAL SHARES 2004 ---- 700,000 Class A special shares $ 453,900 Authorized, issued, and outstanding The Class A special shares are issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary BBL Technologies, Inc. ("BBL") without par value, and are redeemable on demand by the Holder of the shares which is a private Ontario Corporation at $700,000 CDN ($583,333 USD). As the Class A special shares were issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, BBL the maximum value upon which the Company is liable is the net assets of BBL which was ($1,159,387) for 2004. NOTE 8- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES In September 2004, the Company issued $6.1 million of convertible debentures in which the basis of conversion into the Company's common stock is $0.50 per share. In conjunction with the debentures, the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 3.05 million shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The debentures are for a term of three (3) years and earn interest at the rate of 4%. The Company has computed the fair-value of the warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes method and apportioned the fair value of the debt and warrants accordingly. As a result, the debentures were discounted by $528,000, which is being amortized over the three (3) year life of the debentures. The effective yield on the debenture is 4.38%. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES As of December 31, 2004, there are loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $8,078,000 available to offset future taxable income in the United States. The carryforwards expire in various years through 2023. The Company does not expect to incur a Federal income tax liability in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, a valuation allowance for the full amount of the related deferred tax asset of approximately $2,900,000 has been established until realizations of the tax benefit from the loss carryforwards are assured. Additionally, as of December 31, 2004, the Company's two wholly owned Canadian subsidiaries had net operating losses of approximately $1,549,000 that may be used, in future periods, to offset taxable income. The deferred tax asset of approximately $560,000 has been fully offset by a valuation allowance until realization of the tax benefit from the loss carryforwards are assured. NOTE 10 - ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK The Company received $210,106 from the exercise of 1,400,706 warrants to purchase 700,353 shares of common stock in March 2004, an additional $15,000 from the exercise of 100,000 warrants to purchase 50,000 shares in April 2004 and $37,500 from the exercise of 250,000 warrants to purchase 125,000 shares in July 2004. The warrants were issued as a part of the Unit Placements in 2002 and 2003 in which participants received one warrant for each unit purchased, that allows for the purchase of one-half share of common stock for each share of common stock purchased in the Unit Placement. Warrants can only be exercised in even lots for full shares for an exercise price of $0.30 per share. F11 NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANT GRANTS The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" since its inception and adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB No. 123", in December 2002. In conjunction with the adoption of these standards, the Company will continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" with pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the fair-value based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied. In general, no compensation cost related to the Company's non-qualified stock option plan is recognized as options are issued for no less than 85% of fair market value on date of grant. In August 2003, the board of directors ratified the Compensation Committees granting of 650,000 options in the aggregate at an exercise price of $0.27 (fair-market-value on date of grant) per share to Directors and key employees as consideration for their service. The options expire ten years from the date of grant and vest over a three-year period. 150,000 of these options were granted to the former President and Chief Executive Officer who resigned on May 1, 2004. As a result, these 150,000 options have lapsed. In November 2003, the board of directors ratified the employment contract of the then President and Chief Executive Officer, which included the granting of 2,000,000 options at an exercise price of $0.66 (110% of fair-market value on the date of grant) per share. The options expire five years from the date of grant and vest over a two-year period with one-third vesting immediately and thereafter on the first and second anniversary of the employment contract provided the contract is in force and effect. On April 30, 2004, the then Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer resigned from the Company effective May 1, 2004. Consequently, all unvested options (1,333,334 of the 2,000,000) granted under the November 2003 contract lapsed and were cancelled. In addition, the Company awarded 50,000 options to its former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $0.45 per share (fair market value on the date of grant) for consulting services subsequent to his resignation. The fair-market value for the 2,000,000 options (determined under the Black-Scholes method) was approximately $1,200,000 of which $500,000 was reflected as pro-forma compensation expense in the pro forma information presented for the year ended December 31, 2003. The $700,000 balance, which will no longer vest, is not reflected in the accompanying pro forma data. In December 2003, the board of directors ratified the issuance of 25,000 options at an exercise price of $0.17 (fair-market value at the date of grant) and 85,000 options at an exercise price of $0.60 (fair-market value at the date of grant) to certain key employees during the year. These options expire three years from the date of grant. In August 2004 the board of directors approved the aggregate award of 2,300,000 stock options to seven (7) employees, two (2) executive officer/directors two (2) outside directors, and two (2) consultants. The options have immediate vesting with an exercise price of $0.50 per share with exercise periods ranging from three to five years from the date of award. In December 2004, the Company issued 300,000 stock options to two employees at an exercise price of $0.50 per stock. These options expire five years from the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options that were issued, been determined on the fair value at grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been as follows: F12 PRO FORMA INFORMATION YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 2003 ------------------------------- Net loss - as reported $(1,721,313) $(770,098) Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method, net (857,336) (553,099) ------------------------------- Net loss - pro forma $(2,578,649) $(1,323,197) =============================== loss per share - as reported $ (0.034) $ (0.016) =============================== pro forma $ (0.052) $ (0.027) =============================== SFAS No. 123 requires that the fair value of options and warrants issued to non-employees for goods and services be recorded in the financial statements as an expense. A summary of option and warrant transactions, including those granted pursuant to the terms of certain employment and other agreements, is as follows: STOCK WEIGHTED PURCHASE AVERAGE OPTIONS EXERCISE PRICE ---------------- ---------------- Outstanding, January 1, 2003 1,262,500 0.89 Granted 2,760,000 .58 Expired (90,000) (2.00) --------- ----- Outstanding, December 31, 2003 3,932,500 $0.63 Granted 2,650,000 $0.50 Expired (2,055,833) ($0.72) ---------- Outstanding, December 31, 2004 4,526,667 $0.51 All of the options and warrants granted are exercisable on date of grant, except 500,000 options granted in August of 2003 that vest over a 3 year period. Of these 500,000 options, 233,334 are currently vested, 133,332 will vest in August 2005 and 133,334 will vest in August 2006. At December 31, 2004, the outstanding options have a weighted average remaining life of 49.7 months. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2004 and 2003 was $0.31 and $0.29 respectively and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the following assumptions: F13 2004 2003 ------- ------- Expected volatility 108.00% 199.20% Risk-free interest Rate 3.00% 3.25% Expected life 5.0 yrs 5.00 yrs Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% Forfeiture rate 0.00% 0.00% The Black-Scholes model used by the Company to calculate options and warrant values, as well as other currently accepted option valuation models, were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock purchase options and warrants. These models also require highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. Accordingly, management believes that this model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company' s stock options and warrants. At December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding options and warrants as follows: NUMBER OF SHARES EXERCISE PRICE EXPIRATION DATE - ---------------- -------------- --------------- 25,000 0.17 February 12, 2006 500,000 0.27 August 6, 2013 50,000 0.45 April 20, 2009 250,000 0.50 April 18, 2006 250,000 0.50 May 4, 2006 550,000 0.50 August 11, 2007 1,750,000 0.50 August 11, 2009 300,000 0.50 December 1, 2009 50,000 0.52 November 23, 2005 85,000 0.60 December 10, 2006 666,667 0.66 September 10,2008 50,000 1.50 March 1, 2005 --------------- 4,526,667 In addition, the Company has warrants outstanding as follows: These warrants, issued in connection with various private placements of equity securities, are treated as a cost of capital and no income statement recognition is required.

During 2002, the Company, with shareholder approval terminated its 2000 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, which was comprised of 10,000,000 shares of common stock (of which 6,035,000 shares had not been granted), and was replaced by the 2002 Stock Option Plan with 1,000,000 shares of common stock. NOTE 12 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company paid shareholders and their affiliates $403,516 and $256,012, respectively for various services rendered including salary and any bonus. No one transaction or combination attributed to one individual or entity exceeded $60,000 on an annual basis; however, in August 2004 the Company issued a $1.25 Million unsecured subordinated promissory note to AB Odnia, an entity that is affiliated with Bengt Odner, a director of the Company. AB Odnia subsequently converted its unsecured subordinated promissory note to a $1.25 million convertible debenture, in September 2004 as a part of the $6.1 million in convertible debentures issued. NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION The Company has been advised that a statement of claim has been filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against it purporting to be a class action on December 12,2003 in which, a current director and others alleging that it and other parties released and disseminated false and misleading statements about its business from on or about March 1999 through March 2000. The complaint seeks damages of $100,000,000 and punitive damage of $20,000,000. ESWW has not yet been served with the statement of claim and believes the claims to be without merit. If served, the Company intends to contest the claims vigorously. In January 2002, an action was filed in Ontario, Canada against the Company for breach of an agreement claiming approximately $50,000 plus costs. ESWW is defending itself against this action. It is the determination of management that the final determination of this claim will not have a material effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company. The Company has received a letter seeking Damages of $500,000 and an amount due of $192,000 per the terms of a consulting agreement. A legal action has been instituted against the Company, a current Director, and other unrelated parties. The Company considers this claim frivolous and intends to vigorously contest any claims related to this matter. LEASES The Company currently leases its office and factory located in Telford, Pennsylvania for $5,000 per month on a month-to-month basis. In addition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company leases office space for its sales and marketing office located in Ontario, Canada for a monthly rent of $2,100 on a month-to-month basis. Effective November 24, 2004, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary ESW America, Inc. entered into a lease agreement with Nappen & Associates for approximately 40,220 square feet of leasehold space at 2 Bethlehem Pike Industrial Center, Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania. The leasehold space is intended to house the Company's research and development facilities. The lease commenced on January 15, 2005 and expires January 31, 2010. F15 Effective December 20, 2004, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary ESW Canada, Inc. entered into an offer to Lease agreement with Dufcon Developments Inc. for approximately 50,000 square feet of leasehold space in Concord, Ontario Canada. The leasehold space is intended to house the Company's executive offices and a high volume manufacturing plant. It is anticipated that possession of the leasehold space will be in the second quarter of Fiscal year 2005, and the term of the lease will run for a period of 5 years from the commencement date. The following breakdown is the total, of the minimum annual lease payments, for both leases. 2005 $342,079 2006 $433,569 2007 $433,569 2008 $440,585 2009 $444,093 2010 $102,784 NOTE 14 - COMPARATIVE FIGURES Certain 2003 figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statements adopted in 2004.

It manufactures and markets a line of catalytic control products including a boutique line of finished products, proprietary catalytic converter substrates and catalytic conversion technologies for a number of applications as well as providing engine testing and certification services. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared without audit in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Forms 10-KSB, 10-KSB/A (No. 1) and 10-KSB/A (No. 2), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2004. Revenues and operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The Consolidated Condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ESW America, Inc., ESW Technologies, Inc., ESW Canada, Inc. and BBL Technologies, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Accounts Receivable and Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customer's financial condition and generally does not require collateral from those customers. Three of those customers accounted for 47%, 13% and 12%, respectively of the Company's revenue in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and 40%, 17% and 3%, respectively of its accounts receivable as of September 30, 2005. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management's assessment of the credit history with the customer and current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that a reserve of $2,343 was appropriate as of September 30, 2005 and that a $7,500 allowance for doubtful accounts was required as of September 30, 2004. F21 PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS Patents and trademarks consist primarily of the costs incurred to acquire them from an independent third party. SFAS No. 142 requires intangible assets with a definite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that a carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset. Patents and trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated life of ten years. Amortization expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $161,466 and $161,000 respectively. Amortization expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $53,876 and $53,642 respectively. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its catalytic products. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed and determinable, risk of ownership has passed to the customer and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company also derives revenue (less than 2% of total revenue) from providing air testing and environmental certification services. Revenues from these services are recognized upon performance. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs, other than for the acquisition of capital assets, are charged as operating expense of the Company as incurred. NOTE 3 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and FASB Statement No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements." The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes resulting from adoption of a new accounting pronouncement that does not specify transition requirements. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements for changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 with early implementation permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this statement is issued. SFAS 154 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2006 and will be applied when applicable. F22 NOTE 4 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. NOTE 5 - INVENTORY Inventories as of September 30, 2005 are summarized as follows: Raw materials $ 688,382 Work-In-Process 154,786 Finished goods 159,213 ---------- $1,002,381 ========== NOTE 6 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property plant and equipment at September 30, 2005 consists of the following: 2005 ----------- Plant, machinery and equipment $ 2,428,610 Office equipment 135,175 Furniture and fixtures 343,324 Vehicles 12,014 Leasehold improvements 556,085 ----------- 3,475,208 Less: accumulated depreciation 614,305 ----------- $ 2,860,903 =========== NOTE 7 - REDEEMABLE CLASS A SPECIAL SHARES 700,000 Class A special shares $ 453,900 (based on the historical exchange rate at the time of issuance.)Authorized, issued, and outstanding. The Class A special shares are issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary BBL Technologies, Inc. ("BBL") without par value, and are redeemable on demand by the Holder of the shares which is a private Ontario Corporation at $700,000 CDN (which translates to $603,448 USD at September 30, 2005). As the Class A special shares were issued by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, BBL the maximum value upon which the Company is liable is the net book value of BBL. As at September 30, 2005 BBL has an accumulated deficit of $ 1,166,110 USD ($1,813,002 CDN as at September 30, 2005) and therefore would be unable to redeem the Class A special shares at their ascribed value. F23 NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES In September 2004, the Company issued $6.1 million of convertible debentures in which the basis of conversion into the Company's common stock is $0.50 per share. In conjunction with the debentures, the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 3.05 million shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The debentures are for a term of three (3) years and earn interest at the rate of 4%. The Company has computed the fair-value of the warrants utilizing the Black-Scholes method and apportioned the fair value of the debt and warrants accordingly. As a result, the debentures were discounted by $528,000, which is being amortized over the three (3) year life of the debentures. The effective yield on the debentures is 4.38%. The warrant agreements provide that should the company at any time after the date the warrants are first issued sell additional shares of common stock or equivalents below the then current exercise price, then the Company is required to reduce the current exercise price of the warrant to the price of the new issuance (See Note 10). At the Company's option, the interest on the debentures can be paid in cash or in shares of common stock. The Company elected to issue shares of our common stock as payment of interest earned on our 4% convertible debentures issued in September 2004. A total of 348,571 shares of common stock are being issued to 10 debenture holders for the $244,000 of accrued interest through September 13, 2005, as per the terms of the debentures. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES As of September 30, 2005, there are loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $9,731,831 available to offset future taxable income in the United States. The carryforwards expire in various years through 2023. The Company does not expect to incur a Federal income tax liability in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, a valuation allowance for the full amount of the related deferred tax asset of approximately $3,503,459 has been established until realizations of the tax benefit from the loss carryforwards are assured. Additionally, as of September 30, 2005, the Company's two wholly owned Canadian subsidiaries had loss carryforwards of approximately $2,656,837 that may be used, in future periods, to offset taxable income. The deferred tax asset of approximately $956,461 has been fully offset by a valuation allowance until realization of the tax benefit from the loss carryforwards are assured. NOTE 10 - ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK On April 21, 2005, the Company closed an initial traunche of a private placement offering. Pursuant to a subscription agreement with one accredited investor, the Company received $2 million and issued 2,352,941 shares of common stock; three year warrants to purchase 1,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share; three year warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share; and three year warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On April 21, 2005, in conjunction with the offering, the Company adjusted the exercise price of 3,050,000 three year warrants previously issued to nine (9) accredited investors including AB Odnia an entity affiliated with Bengt Odner a director of the Company from $1.00 per share to $0.85 per share in accordance with the terms of the warrants previously issued by the Company September 15, 2004. F24 On July 5, 2005, the Company completed a second traunche of the placement. Pursuant to subscription agreements with three accredited investors, the Company received an aggregate of $1,850,000 and issued 2,176,470 shares of common stock; three year warrants to purchase 1,202,500 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share; three year warrants to purchase 185,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share; and three year warrants to purchase 185,000 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANT GRANTS The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" since its inception and adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB No. 123", in December 2002. In conjunction with the adoption of these standards, the Company will continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" with pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the fair-value based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 had been applied. In general, no compensation cost related to the Company's non-qualified stock option plan is recognized as options are issued for no less than 100% of fair market value on date of grant. In August 2003, the board of directors ratified the Compensation Committees granting of 650,000 options in the aggregate at an exercise price of $0.27 (fair-market-value on date of grant) per share to Directors and key employees as consideration for their service. The options expire ten years from the date of grant and vest over a three-year period. Of these options 150,000 were granted to the former President and Chief Executive Officer who resigned on May 1, 2004. As a result, these 150,000 options have lapsed and were cancelled. In November 2003, the board of directors ratified the employment contract of the then President and Chief Executive Officer, which included the granting of 2,000,000 options at an exercise price of $0.66 (110% of fair-market value on the date of grant) per share. The options expire five years from the date of grant and vest over a two-year period with one-third vesting immediately and thereafter on the first and second anniversary of the employment contract provided the contract is in force and effect. On April 30, 2004, the then Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer resigned from the Company effective May 1, 2004. Consequently, all unvested options (1,333,334 of the 2,000,000) granted under the November 2003 contract lapsed and were cancelled. In addition, the Company awarded 50,000 options to its former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $0.45 per share (fair market value on the date of grant) for consulting services subsequent to his resignation. The fair-market value for the 2,000,000 options (determined under the Black-Scholes method) was approximately $1,200,000 of which $500,000 was reflected as pro-forma compensation expense in the pro forma information presented for the year ended December 31, 2003. The $700,000 balance, which will no longer vest, is not reflected in the accompanying pro forma data. F25 In December 2003, the board of directors ratified the issuance of 25,000 options at an exercise price of $0.17 (fair-market value at the date of grant) and 85,000 options at an exercise price of $0.60 (fair-market value at the date of grant) to certain key employees. These options expire three years from the date of grant. In August 2004 the board of directors approved the aggregate award of 2,300,000 stock options to seven (7) employees, two (2) executive officer/directors two (2) outside directors, and two (2) consultants. The options have immediate vesting with an exercise price of $0.50 per share (fair-market value at the date of grant) with exercise periods ranging from three to five years from the date of award. In December 2004, the Company issued 300,000 stock options to two employees at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (fair-market value at the date of grant). These options expire five years from the date of grant. In January 2005, the Company issued 35,000 stock options to one employee at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (fair-market value at the date of grant). These options expire three years from the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock options that were issued, been determined on the fair value at grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would have been as follows: PRO FORMA INFORMATION NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 2004 ------------------------------- Number for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share available to common stockholders $ (2,296,823) $ (1,226,074) Deduct: Total stock-based Compensation expense determined under fair value based method, net (9,800) (758,336) ------------------------------- Net loss - pro forma $ (2,306,623) $ (1,984,410) =============================== Denominator for basic earnings (loss) per share - Weighted average shares outstanding 52,323,313 49,898,714 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock option -- -- Warrants -- -- Convertible debt conversion -- -- Denominator for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share - Weighted average shares outstanding 52,323,313 49,898,714 Earnings (loss) per share Basic $ (0.044) $ (0.040) F26 Potential common shares of 4,378,334 related to ESW's outstanding stock options and potential common shares of 10,571,031 related to ESW's outstanding Warrants and potential common shares of 12,200,000 related to ESW's 4 percent Convertible debentures were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, as the effect of inclusion of these shares and the related interest expense would have been anti-dilutive. Potential common shares of 3,910,001 related to ESW's outstanding stock options and potential common shares of 7,348,528 related to ESW's outstanding Warrants were and potential common shares of 12,200,000 related to ESW's 4 percent Convertible debentures were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, as the effect of inclusion of these shares would have been anti-dilutive. SFAS No. 123 requires that the fair value of options and warrants issued to non-employees for goods and services be recorded in the financial statements as an expense. A summary of option and warrant transactions, including those granted pursuant to the terms of certain employment and other agreements, is as follows: STOCK WEIGHTED PURCHASE AVERAGE OPTIONS EXERCISE PRICE ---------------- ---------------- Outstanding, January 1, 2004 3,932,500 $0.63 Granted 2,650,000 $0.50 Expired (2,055,833) ($0.72) ---------- -------- Outstanding, December 31, 2004 4,526,667 $0.51 Granted 35,000 $0.50 Expired (50,000) $1.50 ---------- -------- Outstanding, September 30, 2005 4,511,667 $0.50 All of the options and warrants granted are exercisable on date of grant, except 500,000 options granted in August of 2003 that vest over a 3 year period. Of these 500,000 options, 366,666 are currently vested, and 133,334 will vest in August 2006. At September 30, 2005, the outstanding options have a weighted average remaining life of 42 months. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the first quarter of 2005 was $0.50 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the following assumptions: 2005 ------- Expected volatility 108.00% Risk-free interest Rate 3.00% Expected life 3.0 yrs Dividend yield 0.00% Forfeiture rate 0.00% F27 The Black-Scholes model used by the Company to calculate options and warrant values, as well as other currently accepted option valuation models, were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock purchase options and warrants. These models also require highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. Accordingly, management believes that this model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company' s stock options and warrants. At September 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding options as follows: NUMBER OF SHARES EXERCISE PRICE EXPIRATION DATE - ---------------- -------------- --------------- 25,000 0.17 February 12, 2006 500,000 0.27 August 6, 2013 50,000 0.45 April 20, 2009 250,000 0.50 April 18, 2006 250,000 0.50 May 4, 2006 550,000 0.50 August 11, 2007 1,750,000 0.50 August 11, 2009 300,000 0.50 December 1, 2009 50,000 0.52 November 23, 2005 85,000 0.60 December 10, 2006 666,667 0.66 September 10,2008 35,000 0.50 January 6, 2008 --------------- 4,511,667 In addition, the Company has warrants outstanding as follows: These warrants, issued in connection with various private placements of equity securities, are treated as a cost of capital and no income statement recognition is required.
