Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2003
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The
information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all
adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes
the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the
information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
Company's most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in its December 31, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Operating
results for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2003.
On December 1, 2002, the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter
11 of the bankruptcy code with the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern
District of New York. See Note 5 for the discussion regarding the
bankruptcy filing.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course
of business. The Company has had limited activities since inception and is
considered a development stage company because it has no operating
revenues, and planned principal operations have not yet commenced.
The Company has incurred losses from its inception through June 30, 2003
of approximately $57,682,727. The Company does not have an established
source of funds sufficient to cover its operating costs, has a working
capital deficit of approximately $21,951,000, has relied exclusively on
debt and equity financing. Additionally the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary Sigma was forced into bankruptcy because of non-payment of
employee salaries. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)
In October of 2006, the Company signed a term sheet with a company to
sponsor a plan of reorganization. Prior to confirmation of the Chapter 11
plan of reorganization, the plan sponsor will identify a merger candidate
to be merged into the Company. Before the merger can take place, the
Company is required to bring all of its financial, tax and SEC filings
current from the last filing date of 6/30/02. Pursuant to orders of the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, the
Company has engaged accountants, auditors and SEC counsel to complete this
task. Under the terms of the proposed plan, creditors of the Company will
receive a cash payment and stock consideration in the new merged entity.
The aforementioned consideration will be distributed to creditors of the
Company under the plan of reorganization.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the
preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue
as a going concern.

NOTE 5 - BANKRUPTCY
In September 2002, the Company was without sufficient capital to continue
to operate and had been unable to identify sources of additional
financing. The Board of Directors of the Company was concerned that a
sudden cessation of operations would not provide the best means to
maximize asset values. Therefore, at an October 3, 2002 meeting of the
Company's Board of Directors, the Board approved a resolution to commence
negotiations with the Company's secured creditors, Algonquin Capital
Management, L.L.C. and Hibernia Capital Management, L.L.C., to commence a
voluntary bankruptcy filing under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and
immediately thereafter a sale of the Company's assets pursuant to section
363 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Company has a history of being financed primarily by raising capital
through private placements of its stock and/or loans from third parties.
The proceeds from the financing have been used to develop the Company's
technologies, pursue acquisitions and make strategic alliances and pay
operating costs. Over the past twelve months, the Company has endeavored
to stem severe cash flow shortages through, among other things, workforce
and overhead reductions, and the consolidation of its business operations.
Due to persistent cash flow shortages the Company terminated substantially
all of its employees. As a result of a confluence of events, including a
general contraction of available financing from capital markets and the
recent bankruptcy in Norway of Sigma Elektroteknisk, AS, a wholly owned
subsidiary, at a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors on November 27,
2002, the Board unanimously consented to authorizing the Company to file a
voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

OCEAN POWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 5 - BANKRUPTCY (Continued)
On December 1, 2002, the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter
11 of the bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern
District of New York. On December 16, 2002, the United States Trustee
appointed a creditors' committee pursuant to section 1102(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code (the "Committee").
Simultaneously with filing the Chapter 11 petition, the Company filed an
emergency motion to authorize it to obtain loans and advances under a
Debtor-In-Possession Loan Agreement with Algonquin Capital Management,
L.L.C. in order to continue operations so that the Company could attempt
to maximize the value of its assets. The Bankruptcy Court entered an
interim order approving the financing on December 5, 2002 and a final
order was entered on December 20, 2002. In addition, the Company filed a
motion in the bankruptcy case to approve the proposed sale of
substantially all of its assets to Algonquin Capital Management, L.L.C.
and Hibernia Capital Management, L.L.C., subject to higher and better
offers. By order dated February 6, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court authorized
the asset sale agreement with Algonquin Capital Management L.L.C. and
Hibernia Capital Management L.L.C. as modified by the Creditor Settlement
Agreement and assumption and assignment of certain executory contracts,
licenses and intellectual property rights for a credit bid of $2,000,000.
As part of the Creditor Settlement Agreement, Algonquin Capital Management
L.L.C. and Hibernia Capital Management L.L.C. reconveyed to the bankruptcy
estate a 60% ownership in the Water Assets of the Company. The Bill of
Sale consummating the sale was signed on February 19, 2003. During
September 2003, an additional $80,000 was paid to the Company by PowerPlay
Energy pursuant to the creditor settlement agreement.
Having sold its assets and ceased operations, the Company was not in a
financial position to support the on-going operations needed to develop
the Water Assets. On May 20, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale
of the Company's interest in the Water Assets to Oases Desalination
International, Ltd. in exchange for their covenant to commercialize those
assets and make certain royalty payments. Since that time, and although
they have made certain minimal payments, Oases has been in default.
Subsequently, Oases Desalination International, Ltd. and ReEnergy Group
entered into an asset purchase agreement in which Oases Desalination
International, Ltd. would sell all of its assets, including the Water
Assets, to ReEnergy Group. Because Oases Desalination International, Ltd.
is in default with the Company and has not paid for the Water Assets,
Oases Desalination International, Ltd. and Renergy Group sought the
Company's consent wherein ReEnergy Group would directly purchase the Water
Assets from the Company. After significant negotiations, the Creditors'
Committee, Oases Desalination International, Ltd. and ReEnergy Group
entered into the Consent Agreement, in order to, among other things,
provide the Company's consent to transfer the Water Assets to ReEnergy
Group for a modified consideration of $750,000 for the Water Assets. On
October 26, 2005, an application was filed with the Bankruptcy Court to
approve this arrangement and the arrangement was approved by order dated
November 16, 2005. The Company has received all of the funds in this
transaction and is being held in an account maintained by bankruptcy
counsel for the Committee.
In October of 2006, the Company signed a term sheet with Trinad Capital
Master Fund Ltd. (the Sponsor) to sponsor a plan of reorganization. Prior
to confirmation of the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, the Sponsor will
identify a merger candidate to be merged into the Company. The Sponsor is
currently in negotiations with NorthStar Systems International, Inc. as
the potential merger candidate. Before the merger can take place, the
Company is required to bring all of its financial, tax and SEC filings
current from the last filing date of June 30, 2002. Pursuant to orders of
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York,
the Company has engaged accountants, auditors and SEC counsel to complete
this task. Under the terms of the proposed plan, creditors of the Company
will receive a pro rata cash payment and stock consideration in the new
merged entity. The aforementioned consideration will be distributed to
creditors of the Company under the proposed plan of reorganization.

NOTE 6 - SALE OF ASSETS
During the six months ending June 30, 2003, the Company filed a motion in
the bankruptcy case to approve the proposed sale of substantially all of
its assets to Algonquin Capital Management, L.L.C. and Hibernia Capital
Management, L.L.C., subject to higher and better offers. By order dated
February 6, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the asset sale agreement
with Algonquin Capital Management L.L.C. and Hibernia Capital Management
L.L.C. as modified by the Creditor Settlement Agreement and assumption and
assignment of certain executory contracts, licenses and intellectual
property rights for a credit bid of $2,000,000. As part of the Creditor
Settlement Agreement, Algonquin Capital Management L.L.C. and Hibernia
Capital Management L.L.C. reconveyed to the bankruptcy estate a 60%
ownership in the Water Assets of the Company. The Bill of Sale
consummating the sale was signed on February 19, 2003. As a result of this
asset sale the Company recognized a gain on sale of assets in the amount
of $1,643,486. The Company had no basis in the water assets prior to the
original sale and therefore recognized no gain on the subsequent return of
those assets.
NOTE 7 - DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION FINANCING
During the six months ending June 30, 2003, the Company received $136,818
from the issuance of notes and advances pursuant to a debtor-in-possession
financing facility, approved pursuant to an order by the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The applicable
interest rate was 15%.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During the quarter ending September 30, 2003, the Company received $80,000
from PowerPlay Energy pursuant to the creditor settlement agreement
discussed in Note 5.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company sold its ownership
interest in the water assets pursuant to an order dated November 16, 2005,
by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York. As consideration for this ownership interest the Company received
total cash proceeds of $750,000 paid in three installments. The first two
installments were made prior to December 31, 2005, and totaled $100,000.
The remaining $650,000 was recorded as a receivable balance at December
31, 2005, and was subsequently received during January 2006.
During August 2007 the Company entered into a settlement agreement in
connection with the debtor-in-possession financing whereby the total
balance of principal and accrued interest was settled for a one time
payment of $380,000. As a result of the settlement the Company recognized
a gain on settlement of debt of approximately $21,700.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
Readers should refer to the description of the Company's bankruptcy case (the
"Bankruptcy Case") described in the Notes to the Financial Statements included
in Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB and in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the annual
period ended December 31, 2002.
Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
The business of the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 included only
its consideration of various plan of reorganization opportunities and incurring
administrative expenses in connection with the Bankruptcy Case, e.g., related to
legal, accounting and administrative activities. There were no
revenue-generating activities. The Company has had no employees since February
2003. The administrative activities of the Company are performed by outside
consultants and advisors. Direct administrative expenses of the Company related
to continuing operations totaled $49,491 and $0 for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in the current period
compared to the same period in the prior year is due primarily to legal and
consulting fees as the Company attempts to complete and exit bankruptcy. During
the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company incurred $16,582,516 in
expenses that were reported as part of discontinued operations.
Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002
The business of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2003 included
only its consideration of various plan of reorganization opportunities and
incurring administrative expenses in connection with the Bankruptcy Case, e.g.,
related to legal, accounting and administrative activities. There were no
revenue-generating activities. The Company has had no employees since February
2003. The administrative activities of the Company are performed by outside
consultants and advisors. Direct administrative expenses of the Company related
to continuing operations totaled $319,356 and $0 for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in the current period
compared to the same period in the prior year is due primarily to legal and
consulting fees as the Company attempts to complete and exit bankruptcy. During
the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company incurred $20,732,839 in expenses
that were reported as part of discontinued operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Primary sources of liquidity since the Company ceased operations have been cash
balances that have been used to pay administrative expenses. Operating expenses
of the Company have been funded with available cash retained from the two asset
sales effected as part of the Bankruptcy Case. As of the date of the filing of
this Form 10-QSB with the SEC, cash totals approximately $227,210. Based on such
balance and management's forecast of activity levels during the period that it
may remain without operations, the Company is uncertain as to whether the
present cash balance will be sufficient to pay its current liabilities and its
administrative expenses as such expenses become due; provided that, if the Plan
is confirmed, the Company believes that the present cash balance will be
sufficient to pay its current liabilities and its administrative expenses as
such expenses become due.
Uncertainties Relating to Forward Looking Statements
"Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and other
parts of this Form 10-QSB contain certain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. While the Company
believes any forward-looking statements it has made are reasonable, actual
results could differ materially since the statements are based on current
management expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited, to the following:
o There can be no assurance that the plan of reorganization filed with
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York ("Bankruptcy Court") on January 15, 2008, or any other plan of
reorganization, will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court and
effected.
o There can be no assurance that Trinad Capital Master Fund Ltd. (the
"Plan Sponsor") will reach agreement on definitive documentation for
a merger with NorthStar Systems International Inc. ("NorthStar"), or
any other potential merger candidate.
o Even if a plan of reorganization is approved by the Bankruptcy Court
and effected, there can be no assurance as to the terms of any such
plan, including without limitation as to the distributions, if any,
o The Plan Sponsor may withdraw at any time prior to confirmation of a
plan of reorganization, including without limitation, due to
unsatisfactory results of its due diligence on NorthStar. In such
event, the Company may substitute the Plan Sponsor with another
person or entity offering to purchase stock in the newly merged
entity under the plan of reorganization on terms and conditions that
may not be the same, or as economically favorable to the Company's
estate, as those are being offered by the Plan Sponsor. In such
event, the recovery for unsecured creditors would likely be
dramatically reduced.
o No public market exists for stock in the merged entity, and it is
not anticipated that any will necessarily develop in the foreseeable
future. Therefore, notwithstanding the legal ability to trade such
stock, any recipient thereof should expect that it might have to
hold the stock for an indefinite period of time.

performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 that has materially affected,
