The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without an audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed financial statements. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified from prior period presentations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Companys Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2004 on Form 10-KSB and Form 10-KSB/A.
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2GOING CONCERN:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company is a going concern, which assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company suffered recurring losses from operations, a recurring deficiency of cash from operations, including a cash deficiency of approximately $873,000 from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and lacks sufficient liquidity to continue its operations. On July 8, 2005, the Company closed a $2,430,000 private offering, from which the Company will use to fund its operations (see Note 8).
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations in the long-term and raising additional capital to support existing operations for at least the next twelve months. Managements plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers.
NOTE 3COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On April 11, 2005, the Company began leasing approximately 1,500 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada. The lease is between Glenborough IX LLC and a management company owned by the current Chief Executive Officer and was signed on February 7, 2005. On February 10, 2005, the Companys board of directors voted to assume all
6
payments under this lease and indemnify the Chief Executive Officers management company for all payments and obligations for the lease. The lease includes a payment of $2,728 per month, which includes all cleaning and utilities, except phone and internet service. The term of the lease is one year.
On June 23, 2005, the Company agreed to begin leasing approximately 4,000 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada commencing February 1, 2006. The lease is between 3960 HHP LLC and a management company owned by the current Chief Executive Officer and was signed on June 23, 2005. On June 29, 2005, the Companys board of directors voted to assume all payments under this lease and indemnify the Chief Executive Officers management company for all payments and obligations for the lease. The lease includes payments of $11,292 per month, with annual increases, which includes all cleaning and utilities, except phone and internet service. The term of the lease is five years. Upon commencement of this lease, the Company plans on vacating its current office space and has reached an agreement with a third party which will lease the Companys existing offices in Las Vegas when the Company vacates them in February 2006.
NOTE 4NOTES PAYABLE
On February 24, 2005, the Company entered into a financing transaction in which the Company issued $125,000 in Senior Secured Notes under the same offering through which the Company issued $1,464,806 in Senior Secured Notes in October 2004. This offering was originally intended to close on December 31, 2004 but the placement agent and the Company agreed to keep the offering open past the original closing date. After the February 24 closing the offering was terminated. Under the original terms, all of the Senior Secured Notes were to become due one year after issuance, but on March 28, 2005, the Company received consent, from all of the Senior Secured Note holders of the first and secondary offering, to extend the maturity date for an additional year. These notes will now mature in October 2006 and February 2007, respectively.
The holders of the Notes were issued 144,232 warrants, with an exercise price of $0.65 per share, in connection with the issuance of $125,000 in Notes. The value of such warrants approximates $24,000 and was reflected as debt discount which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The Company paid a placement agent a commission of $12,500 and 14,423 warrants which are being amortized over the life of the Notes, with the same rights and provisions as the Warrants issued to the holders of the Notes.

The Placement Agency Agreement requires, among other things, the Company to pay certain fees related to the Offering; provides the Placement Agent a right of first refusal to manage any private or public offering of equity securities of the Company, under certain defined conditions, for a period of one year after the Offering; requires the Company to enter Lock-Up Agreements (as defined below) with all of the Companys directors, officers and significant shareholders; grants the investors in the Offering and the Placement Agent certain registration rights, which require the Company to register their common stock as well as the common stock underlying the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants through filing a registration statement within sixty (60) days of closing the Offering, and make the registration statement effective (the Effective Date) within one hundred and twenty days (120) of closing the Offering; and grants the common stock, Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants issued through the Offering weighted average anti-dilution protection for subsequent issuances of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) at less than the Common Stock Purchase Price.
On various dates preceding July 8, 2005, the Company entered into lock-up agreements (the Lock-Up Agreements) with all of the Companys officers, members of the board of directors and shareholders that held, prior to the Offering, more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock. Specifically, the persons entering Lock-Up Agreements with the Company included: Nicholas Anderson, Leonard Bellezza, John (BJ) Lackland, Rick Pulford, Raymond Skiptunis, Steven Strasser, Commerce Energy Group, and Summit Energy Ventures LLC. The Lock-Up Agreements restrict all of these Persons from selling any shares of common stock for a period of twelve months from the Effective Date (the Lock-Up Period); provided, however, that the Lock-Up Period shall terminate if at any time after the date which is ninety days after the Effective Date, the 20-day average of the closing bid price of the shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board exceeds two hundred percent of the Common Stock Purchase Price of $0.20, or $0.40.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We may, in discussions of our future plans, objectives and expected performance in periodic reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or documents incorporated by reference therein) and written and oral presentations made by us, include projections or other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. Such projections and forward-looking statements are based on assumptions, which we believe are reasonable but are, by their nature, inherently uncertain. In all cases, results could differ materially from those projected. Some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ from any such projections or other forward-looking statements are discussed below, and in other reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including under the caption Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Our forward looking statements are based on information available to us today, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
REVENUES
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005, were approximately $95,000, compared to $65,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $30,000 or 46%. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in sales in the elevator and escalator market segment. Sales to a government agency totaled approximately $50,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005. Revenue of $7,475 was recognized for a government grant received associated with development expenses related to a medium voltage product application during the three months ended June 30, 2004. No government grant income was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005, were approximately $146,000, compared to $154,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $8,000 or 5%. This decrease is mainly attributable to revenue of $12,725 that was recognized for a government grant received associated with development expenses related to a medium voltage product application during the six months ended June 30, 2004. No government grant income was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
COST OF PRODUCT REVENUES
Total cost of product revenues, which includes material and direct labor, allocated costs, and inventory obsolescence and other write-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were approximately $86,000 compared to $39,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 an increase of $47,000 or 121%. As a percentage of product revenues, total cost of revenues increased to approximately 90% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to approximately 69% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the costs as a percentage of product revenues was primarily due an increase in the production of higher costing units in 2005. Also, allocated costs were approximately $13,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. As a percentage of product
11
revenues allocated costs were 14% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 22% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The allocated costs as a percentage of product revenues decreased as the allocated costs were absorbed by a higher volume of product revenues. Material and labor costs as a percentage of product revenues increased to 78% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 47% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Material and labor costs as a percentage of product revenues were approximately 64%. This increase was largely due to the use of a turnkey manufacturer resulting in higher direct labor costs per unit in 2005.
Total cost of product revenues, which includes material and direct labor, allocated costs, and inventory obsolescence and other write-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were approximately $127,000 compared to approximately $134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $7,000 or 5%. As a percentage of product revenues, total costs of product revenues decreased to approximately 87% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to approximately 95% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in the costs as a percentage of product revenues was primarily due to no charges to inventory for obsolescence and other write-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, offset by the Company utilizing a turn-key manufacturer for production in 2005. Also, allocated costs were $22,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $37,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $15,000 or 41%. As a percentage of product revenue allocated costs were 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 26% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The allocated costs as a percentage of product revenues decreased as the allocated costs were absorbed by a higher volume of product revenues and because the Company began the use of a turnkey manufacturer.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were approximately $71,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to approximately $94,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, a $23,000 or a 24% decrease. This decrease is mainly attributable to the Companys restructuring and cost reduction program implemented in August and September of 2004.
Research and development expenses were approximately $126,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to approximately $208,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an $82,000 or a 39% decrease. This decrease is mainly attributable to the Companys restructuring and cost reduction program implemented in August and September of 2004, partially offset by a $26,000 charge during the six months ended June 30, 2004, related to laboratory testing done for further product development.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $400,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $472,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 a decrease of $72,000 or 15%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses over the prior year was due primarily to a decrease in payroll and payroll related costs, as well as the elimination of some fixed costs related to the
12
reduction in workforce and the Companys decision to restructure its operations in August and September of 2004.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $607,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $920,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 a decrease of $313,000 or 34%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses over the prior year was due primarily to a decrease in payroll and payroll related costs, as well as the elimination of some fixed costs related to the reduction in workforce and the Companys decision to restructure its operations in August and September of 2004.

13
The Registrant expects to experience growth in its operating expenses, particularly in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, for the foreseeable future in order to execute its business strategy. As a result, the Registrant anticipates that operating expenses will constitute a material use of any cash resources.
Since capital resources are insufficient to satisfy the Registrants liquidity requirements, management intends to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain debt financing. The Registrant believes it can raise additional funds through private placements of equity. However, there are no assurances that sufficient capital can be raised.
Cash Requirements and Need for Additional Funds
The Registrant anticipates a substantial need for cash to fund its working capital requirements. In accordance with the Registrants prepared expansion plan, it is the opinion of management that approximately $2.0 million will be required to cover operating expenses, including, but not limited to, marketing, sales and operations during the next twelve months. On July 8, 2005 the Company completed a stock offering for in excess of $2.4 million (see Note 8 to the Financial Statements), which netted approximately $1.8 million.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Companys internal controls. Accordingly, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.
The Company is currently in litigation with the owners of the Livonia, Michigan property that the Company vacated in 2004. The Company has accrued a reserve for the estimated loss in relation to the settlement of the litigation.
