NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.  Management’s plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers.

NOTE 3—COMMITMENTS 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 Company’s board of directors voted to assume all

6



payments under this lease and indemnify the Chief Executive Officer’s 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 Company’s board of directors voted to assume all payments under this lease and indemnify the Chief Executive Officer’s 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 Company’s existing offices in Las Vegas when the Company vacates them in February 2006.

NOTE 4—NOTES 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.

NOTE 5—EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company entered into an employment and compensation agreement with Steven Strasser, the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, effective June 1, 2005.  The agreement is for a term of five years, with a base salary for the first year of the agreement of $275,000 with annual increases of at least 5% of the current year’s base salary and bonuses at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors.   During the first year of the Agreement, and amount equal to $215,000 of the base salary shall be paid by grant of stock options under the Company’s 2000 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan to purchase 1,612,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, vesting in equal quarterly installments over the year ending June 1, 2006, and the remaining $60,000 of the base salary is to be paid in cash.  The

7

The agreement also provides for certain non-competition and nondisclosure covenants.  During the second quarter, $39,812 was charged as compensation expense under this agreement.

The Company entered into an employment and compensation agreement with John (BJ) Lackland, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, effective June 1, 2005.  The agreement is for a term of five years, with a base salary for the first year of the agreement of $175,000 with annual increases of at least 5% of the current year’s base salary and bonuses at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors.   During the first year of the Agreement, an amount equal to $55,000 of the base salary shall be paid by grant of stock options under the Company’s 2000 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan to purchase 412,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, vesting in equal quarterly installments over the year ending June 1, 2006, and the remaining $120,000 of the base salary is to be paid in cash.  The agreement with Mr. Lackland also provides, among other things, for reimbursement of certain business expenses and for certain payments to be made to Mr. Lackland in the event of a change of control.  Mr. Lackland also received 1,733,750 incentive stock options which will vest over a five year period and have an exercise price of $0.20, and 66,250 non-qualified stock options which will vest on June 1, 2006 and have an exercise price of $0.20. The agreement also provides for certain non-competition and nondisclosure covenants.  During the second quarter, $12,675 was charged as compensation expense under this agreement.

The Company entered into an employment and compensation agreement with Nicholas Anderson, the Company’s current Chief Technology Officer, effective June 1, 2005.  The agreement is for a term of five years, with a base salary for the first year of the agreement of $210,000 with annual increases of at least 5% of the current year’s base salary and bonuses at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors.  The agreement with Mr. Anderson also provides, among other things, for reimbursement of certain business expenses and for certain payments to be made to Mr. Anderson in the event of a change of control.  Mr. Anderson also received 2,000,000 incentive stock options which will vest over a five year period and have an exercise price of $0.20. The agreement also provides for certain non-competition and nondisclosure covenants. This employment and compensation agreement supersedes Mr. Anderson’s employment agreements dated April 1, 2001 and salary reduction agreement dated October 20, 2004.  During the second quarter, $5,680 was charged as compensation expense under this agreement.

NOTE 6—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On June 9, 2005 and on June 16, 2005, the Company entered into financing transactions in which the Company issued a $200,000 convertible, unsecured note, and a $100,000 convertible, unsecured note respectively (collectively, the “Bridge Notes”) to Summit Energy Ventures LLC, an entity owned entirely by the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that is also one of the Company’s principal

8



stockholders.  The Notes bear interest of 10% per annum.  The Bridge Notes’ accrued interest and principal are due on July 23, 2005 (the “Maturity Date”).  In the event that the Bridge Notes and accrued interest are not paid in full at the Maturity Date, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Bridge Notes from the Maturity Date up to and including the date of payment, at a rate equal to 18% per annum (compounded annually).  The Bridge Notes were converted into equity on July 8, 2005 (see Note 8).

NOTE 7—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In connection with the issuance of $125,000 in Senior Secured Notes, the Company issued 144,232 warrants to the Note holders and 14,423 warrants as a fee to the placement agent of the offering.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.65 per share and expire in five years (see Note 4).

On April 28, 2005, the Company issued 1,204,819 shares of series A-1 convertible preferred stock, convertible into 1,000,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock to Summit Energy Ventures, LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 in cash.  As of June 30, 2005, Summit Energy Ventures, LLC owned 2,785,969 shares of series A-1 convertible preferred stock, convertible into 2,315,203 shares of common stock.

On April 28, 2005, the Company issued 180,723 shares of series A-1 convertible preferred stock, convertible into 150,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock, to Commerce Energy Group, Inc., an affiliate of Commonwealth Energy Corporation, in consideration of Commerce Energy Group’s cancellation of a license agreement with the Company for single-phase technology.  As a result, the Company will receive 100% of the benefits of future sales of the single-phase products.  As of June 30, 2005, Commerce Energy Group, Inc. owned 1,928,310 shares of series A-1 convertible preferred stock, convertible into 1,603,645 shares of common stock.

NOTE 8—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 8, 2005, the Company issued 12,150,000 shares of common stock and 6,075,000 warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) to accredited investors for an aggregate of $2,430,000.  The per share purchase price of the common stock was $0.20 (the “Common Stock Purchase Price”). The Investor Warrants have a per share exercise price of $0.44 and expire 5 years from the date of issuance.

Joseph Stevens & Company, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”), a registered broker dealer, acted as the sole placement agent for the Offering.  For its services, the Placement Agent received commissions and non-accountable fees totaling $237,900 and 3,645,000 warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants have a per share exercise price of $0.20 and expire five years from the date of issuance.

Two convertible notes (the “Bridge Notes”) issued by the Company, to Summit Energy Ventures, LLC, on June 9, 2005 and June 16, 2005, in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000, were converted into 1,500,000 shares of common stock and 750,000 Investor Warrants on the same terms as those offered to investors in the Offering and no

9



commissions, fees or securities were issued to the Placement Agent in connection with such conversion (see Note 6).

On July 8, 2005, the Company’s 4,714,279 shares of outstanding Series A-1 Preferred Stock were converted into 3,918,848 shares of common stock.

In conjunction with the Offering, the Company entered into an agreement with the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). 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 Company’s 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 Company’s officers, members of the board of directors and shareholders that held, prior to the Offering, more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s decision to restructure its operations in August and September of 2004.

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 Registrant’s 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 Registrant’s 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.
