GLOSSARY OF TERMS
 
Set forth below are technical terms used in the discussion in this document and explanations of the meanings of those terms.
 
Alternating Current (AC)
 
A type of electrical current, the direction of which is reversed at regular intervals or cycles; in the U.S. the standard is 120 reversals or 60 cycles per second; typically abbreviated as AC.
 
 
 
Ampere (amp)
 
A unit of measure for an electrical current; the amount of current that flows in a circuit; abbreviated as amp.
 
 
 
Current (Electrical)
 
The flow of electrical energy (electricity) in a conductor, measured in amperes.
 
 
 
Cycle
 
In an alternating current, the current goes from zero potential (or voltage) to a maximum in one direction, back to zero, and then to a maximum potential (or voltage) in the other direction. The number of complete cycles per second determines the current frequency; in the U.S. the standard for alternating current is 60 cycles.
 
 
 
Efficiency
 
Efficiency is the ratio of work (or energy) output to work (or energy) input, and cannot exceed 100 percent.
 
 
 
Energy
 
The capability of doing work.

PART I
 
Item 1.
Description of Business.
 
 
(a)
Business Development
 
Formation
 
Power Efficiency Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 19, 1994. From inception through 1997, the Company was a development stage entity that was engaged in the design, development, marketing and sale of proprietary solid state electrical components designed to reduce energy consumption in alternating current induction motors. Alternating current induction motors are commonly found in industrial and commercial facilities throughout the world.
 
 
(b)
Business of the Company
 
The Company’s Principal Products and Technology
 
In the late 1990s the Company commenced the sale of its principal and proprietary product that reduces energy consumption in alternating current induction motors in certain applications. This product has been known by several names, including the Power Commander® and Power Genius. Going forward, the company has chosen to call its product Motor Efficiency Controllers (“MEC”).

The Company has developed patented and patent-pending technologies for effectively controlling the energy usage of an electric motor. The Company’s first United States Patent was granted in 1998. Over the past two years the Company has undertaken extensive study and computer modeling of motors and their energy use, and has developed digital technologies for its controllers. In the process, the Company has discovered what it believes are significant innovations and has completed numerous patent filings around these new inventions. The Company has branded these collective patented and patent pending technologies as E-SAVE Technology™ and has filed for a trademark on this name.

The Company has developed technologies and products for use on three phase and single phase motors. Three phase power and motors are generally found in industrial and commercial buildings for larger applications than single phase power and motors.
 
The Company’s marketing efforts have been initially focused on the Three-Phase version. The Company’s three phase MEC is designed to have the following functionality:
 
 
1.
Start a motor
 
2.
Provide a soft start for the motor, bringing it gradually from rest to full speed
 
3.
Save energy when the motor is at full speed but is less than fully loaded

The MEC is unique particularly because of its energy savings capabilities. The product reduces energy consumption by electric motors by electronically sensing and controlling the amount of energy the motor consumes. A motor with an MEC installed only uses the energy it needs to perform its work task, thereby increasing its efficiency. The result is a reduction of energy consumption of up to 35% in applications that do not always run at peak load levels.
 
The Company’s management believes its Motor Efficiency Controllers offer certain advantages over competing products for the following reasons:
 
 
·
Motor and Equipment Life: The MEC extends motor life by reducing the stress and strain on the motor and surrounding equipment, and reduces the amperage to the motor, which results in cooler running.
 
·
Successful Utility and Customer Tests: The MEC has been successfully tested by numerous electric utilities and customers. For example, Paragon Consulting Services, a contractor for Nevada Power Company, the electric utility for southern Nevada, performed 8 field tests on escalators and one on an elevator in major Las Vegas casinos. The tests resulted in average energy savings of over 30% on the escalators and 20% on the elevator.
 
·
Utility Incentive Financing: The product has qualified for rebate incentive financing, most frequently called “rebates”, from many electric utilities. This financing is generally paid to the end user of the MEC as an incentive to invest in energy saving products. As such, this financing effectively decreases the cost of the Company’s MEC for end users. The utilities that have approved the Company’s products for incentive financing include: Nevada Power Company, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Sierra Pacific Power, Southern California Edison, the New York Power Authority, Excel Energy and San Diego Gas and Electric.
 

 
 
·
Acceptance by Original Equipment Manufacturers: The Company’s products have been approved and installed by numerous original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the escalator and granulator industries.
 
Three-Phase MEC
 
The Company initially focused its marketing efforts for the Three-Phase MEC in the elevator and escalator industry, although the Company is also actively marketing this product to other industries such as recycling, mining, plastics, and manufacturing. Industries that operate equipment such as conveyor systems, crushing equipment, stamping presses, granulators, grinders, shredders and other motor driven equipment with varying loads, are believed to be viable target markets for the Three-Phase MEC. The Company is seeking to target markets with appropriate applications and market access, using direct sales, OEMs and select resellers and reps to address these markets.
 
Single-Phase Product
    
Like the Company’s Three-Phase product described above, the Company’s Single-Phase product reduces energy consumption in electric motors by sensing and controlling the amount of energy the motor consumes. Many motors commonly used in home appliances and other consumer goods are single-phase AC motors. Since the single-phase product is much smaller, has a much lower price point, and can be incorporated directly into a broad variety of applications, the Company believes it is a product most suitable for installation at the OEM level.

Product Development

The Company has devoted significant time and resources in the past several years toward developing “digital” versions of its three phase and single phase products. Through this process, the Company has transformed its technology so that its key technological breakthroughs are primarily incorporated in algorithm and software on a microchip. The Company believes the digital versions of its products have several distinct advantages over the older analog versions, including:
 
 
·
Increased ease of installation and reduced technical support requirements. For example, instead of approximated and manual adjustments during installation, which can require technical support from the Company, the digitized unit will allow more simplified and precise adjustments by customers and third party installers.
 
·
Reduced product size, which is important for many installations.
 
·
Input-output communications capabilities, so the device can communicate with external control systems.
 
·
Increased functionality. The Company expects to be able to add new functionality to the products. These new functions may include such things as:
 
o
Recording and reporting of actual energy savings;
 
o
Prediction of maintenance problems by reading and reporting on changes in the motor’s operating characteristics; and
 
o
More secure intellectual property protection through the use of secured chips and software.

Marketing and Sales
 
The Company’s marketing efforts have historically been concentrated in the elevator and escalator industry, primarily to OEMs of elevator and escalator equipment and end users that own this equipment. The Company is also focused on the mining and aggregate industry and the plastics industry. End users of the Company’s products include retail chains, hotels, airports, transit systems, and mining and manufacturing companies.
 
The Company sells products primarily through direct sales and with OEM resellers. In the future, the Company is focused on initially penetrating markets through direct sales. Once some market penetration and traction is achieved, the Company will then work with OEMs and other resellers to achieve higher volume sales. The Company’s longer term goal is to be a high value supplier of technologies, with numerous OEMs and other resellers engaged with high volume sales and/or licensing agreements.

Manufacturing and Distribution
 
The Company’s products are manufactured internally and by a multi-billion dollar global contract manufacturer, Sanmina SCI (“Sanmina”). The Company’s strategy is to manufacture internally products that sell at lower volumes, such as MECs for very large motors, and to have Sanmina manufacture higher volume products, such as smaller units and circuit boards. The Company believes this strategy allows for high quality production, cost efficiencies, and the capability to rapidly increase production volumes. Management believes this strategy has the ability to meet the Company’s production needs and the Company would be successful in finding alternative manufacturers should Sanmina not be available to manufacture our product.
 

 
Competition
 
Power Efficiency believes the principal competitive factors in the Company’s markets include innovative product development, return on investment from energy savings, product quality, product performance, utility rebate acceptance, established customer relationships, name recognition, distribution and price.

Three-Phase Competition. The Company’s three phase MEC’s principal capabilities include being a motor starter, providing a soft start for the motor, and reducing the motor’s electricity consumption once the motor is at full speed. The Company believes its products are unique primarily because of the last capability – energy savings.

The first two capabilities are commonly found in existing motor control products. There are billions of dollars of motor starters and soft starts sold every year. These products are typically manufactured and marketed by large motor control companies, many of which have longer operating histories, established markets and far greater financial, advertising, research and development, manufacturing, marketing, personnel and other resources than the Company currently has or may reasonably be expected to have in the foreseeable future. This competition may have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to commence and expand its operations or operate in a profitable manner.

There are also several small companies that reportedly make products that combine motor starting, soft starting and energy savings. The Company is unaware of any large company that makes a product of this nature. Although the Company has not completed any formal market study, the Company believes its Three-Phase MEC has the following competitive advantages over other products:
 
 
·
It combines soft start features with energy savings features in a single integrated unit that is CSA and CE certified and achieves energy savings levels of up to 15% to 35% in independent, third party testing;
 
·
Its circuitry is proprietary, protected by one patent. Numerous other patent filings on new innovations are pending approval of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office;
 
·
It has been tested extensively by utilities with documented energy savings and approval for incentive financing rebates;
 
·
It is accepted by OEMs in the escalator and granulator industries. 

Single-Phase Competition.  There have been several companies that have, with different technologies, attempted to exploit this market due to the enormous opportunity in single-phase motor applications. These products include among others, “Green Plug” (voltage clamping), “Power Planner” (digital microchip) and “Econelectric” (power factor control). The Company has made numerous innovations in the past two years that it believes overcome many of the problems with these and the Company’s earlier designs. The Company has filed for patents on these innovations and has a well developed prototype that it has successfully tested on various single phase motors and applications.
 
High Efficiency Motors.  Motors are rated by their efficiency at full load. However, when motors, including “high efficiency motors” are lightly loaded, they become very inefficient. Management believes that the energy savings gain attributable to high efficiency motors is materially lower than that of its MEC on underloaded motor applications. Furthermore, the Company’s products are able to save energy on underloaded high efficiency motors, so that such motors and the Company’s technology are not mutually exclusive.
 
Source of Supply and Availability of Raw Materials
 
The MEC has been designed to use standard, off-the-shelf, easily acquired components, except for the custom made circuit boards. Such off-the-shelf components are basic items readily available worldwide at competitive prices. They come in standard and miniature versions and offer the Company latitude in product design and production. Although the Company believes most of the key components required for the production of its products are currently available in sufficient production quantities from multiple sources, there can be no assurance they will remain so readily available or at comparable prices.
 
Customers
 
The Company currently does business with approximately 20 customers. Of this number, three customers presently account for approximately 84% of the Company’s gross revenues. These customers and their respective gross revenue percentages are KONE, Inc. – 41%; Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority – 32%; and Matrix Energy Services, Inc. – 11%. In light of the Company’s intentions to focus its business on a limited number of markets, the Company is, and may continue to be, dependent upon a limited number of customers. Accordingly, the loss of one or more of these customers may have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business.
 

 
Patents and Proprietary Rights
 
The Company currently relies on a combination of trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements and patent protection to establish and protect its proprietary rights in its products. There can be no assurance these mechanisms will provide the Company with any competitive advantages. Furthermore, there can be no assurance others will not independently develop similar technologies, or duplicate or “reverse engineer” the proprietary aspects of the Company’s technology.
 
The Company has one U.S. patent issued with respect to its products. The “Balanced and Synchronized Phase Detector for an AC Induction Motor Controller,” No. 5,821,726, was issued on October 13, 1998 and expires in 2017. This patent covers improvements to the technology under the NASA License Agreement (described below), which were developed by the Company. Management believes this patent protects the Company’s intellectual property position beyond the expiration of the NASA License Agreement.
  
The Company has filed five provisional patents and one utility patent on new inventions associated with the development of its digital products. The Company anticipates filing additional utility patents in the coming months. In addition, the Company is continually making improvements to its products and technologies, and anticipates making additional patent filings on new inventions when warranted.
 
NASA License Agreement
 
The Company had been the exclusive United States licensee of certain power factor controller technology owned by the United States of America, as represented by NASA. This license agreement covered the United States and its territories and possessions and did not require the Company to pay royalties to NASA in connection with the Company’s sale of products employing technology utilizing the licensed patents. The Company’s rights under the license agreement were non-transferable and were not to be sublicensed without NASA’s consent. The license agreement terminated on December 16, 2002 upon expiration of all of the licensed patents.
 
The Company believes its products and other proprietary rights do not infringe any proprietary rights possessed by third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not assert infringement claims in the future, the defense costs of which could be substantial.
 
The Company has obtained U.S. Trademark registration of the Power Commander® mark and has filed for a trademark on E-Save Technology™.
 
Government Regulation
 
The Company is not required to be certified by any government agencies. However, most of the Company’s products are manufactured to comply with specific codes that meet industry accepted safety standards. Presently, many of the Company’s products comply with UL 508 Industrial Control Equipment and the Company has also received certification meeting CSA (Canadian Standards Association) B44.1/ASME-17.5 Elevator and Escalator Electrical Equipment for many of the Company’s products. Many of the Company’s products are also CE marked. The Department of Commerce does not require the Company’s technology to be certified for export. The Company’s industrial code is 421610 and the SIC code is 5063.

Deregulation of Electrical Energy
 
Sales of the Company’s product are not dependent on deregulation of the electrical energy market as the Company’s product can be sold in regulated and deregulated markets. 
 
Research and Development
 
The Company intends to continue its research and development effort to introduce new products based on its energy saving technology. Towards this end, the Company spent $667,786 and $567,591 in fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively, on research and development activities, virtually none of which was borne by customers. A major focus of the Company’s foreseeable research and development activities will be on completing larger versions of the digital MEC. The Company also anticipates the possibility of working with OEMs that make or purchase motor control equipment, in order to develop products with features or specifications they require.
 

 
Effect of Environmental Regulations
 
The Company is not aware of any federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment with which compliance by the Company has had, or is expected to have, a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of the Company.
 
Employees
 
At the date of this document, the Company employs eighteen people on a full time basis. Of this number, one is engaged in accounting and finance, three in operations and general management, eight in sales and marketing, and six in product research and development, engineering and manufacturing. At such time as business conditions dictate, the Company may hire additional personnel for, among other things, increased marketing and sales. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements and considers its relationship with its employees to be good. The Company utilizes consultants in the areas of marketing, product and technology development and finance on a regular basis.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
Unless The Company Achieves Profitability and Related Positive Cash Flow, It May Not Be Able To Continue Operations, And Its Auditors Have Questioned Its Ability To Continue As A "Going Concern".
 
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and experienced approximately a $2,851,000 deficiency of cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had net losses of $3,891,795 and $5,020,775, respectively. In our Auditor’s Report dated March 25, 2008 on our December 31, 2007 financial statements included in this report, our auditors have stated that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”. Our 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 we be unable to continue in existence.

The Company’s continuation as a “going concern” is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and related positive cash flow and satisfying our immediate cash needs by external financing until we are profitable. Our plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers. We are seeking to raise additional capital through equity issuance, debt financing and other types of financing, but we cannot guarantee that sufficient capital will be raised.
 
The Company Has A Limited Operating History, Has Experienced Recurring Losses And Has Limited Revenue.
 
To date, and due principally to a lack of working capital, our operations have been limited in scale. Although we have an arrangement with an outsourced production facility to manufacture our products, have established relationships with suppliers, and have received contracts for our products, we may experience difficulties in production scale-up, product distribution, and obtaining and maintaining working capital until such time as our operations have been scaled-up to normal commercial levels. We have not had a profitable quarter in the past three years and we cannot guarantee we will ever operate profitably. In addition, we have limited revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2007, our total revenues were $490,510, and for the year ended December 31, 2006, our total revenues were $188,811.

The Company Does Not Have A Bank Line Of Credit.
 
At the present time, the Company does not have a bank line of credit, which further restricts its financial flexibility.
 

 
The Company Will Require Additional Funds To Meet Its Cash Operating Expenses And Achieve Its Current Business Strategy.
 
The Company continues to have limited working capital and will be dependent upon additional financing to meet capital needs and repay outstanding debt. We cannot guarantee additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. We also need additional financing to raise the capital required to fully implement our business plan. Our current fixed operating expense level is approximately $250,000 to $300,000 per month. Although we currently have over 12 months of working capital, we may nevertheless need to issue additional debt or equity securities to raise required funds, and as a result existing equity owners would be diluted.

When our operations require additional financing, if we are unable to obtain it on reasonable terms, we would be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations, any of which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in us.

The Company’s Management Group Owns Or Controls A Significant Number Of The Outstanding Shares Of Our Common Stock And Will Continue To Have Significant Ownership Of Our Voting Securities For The Foreseeable Future.
 
As of the date of this report, management controls approximately twenty-one percent (21%) of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and voting equivalents. As a result, these persons will have the ability, acting as a group, to effectively control our affairs and business, including the election of directors and, subject to certain limitations, approval or preclusion of fundamental corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership of our common stock may:
 
 
·
delay or prevent a change in the control;
 
 
·
impede a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other transaction involving the Company; or
 
 
·
discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
 
Additionally, Summit Energy Ventures, LLC (“Summit”) owns seventeen percent (17%) of our common stock and voting equivalents, which is included in the above number. Summit is controlled by Steven Strasser, our Chairman and CEO, and he has the right to vote all shares owned by Summit. The remaining equity in Summit is owned by BJ Lackland, our CFO. These relationships are discussed in more detail under “Certain Relationships And Related Party Transactions” herein.
 
The Company’s Business Depends Upon The Maintenance Of Our Proprietary Technology, And We Rely, In Part, On Contractual Provisions To Protect Our Trade Secrets And Proprietary Knowledge.

The Company depends upon its proprietary technology, relying principally upon trade secret and patent law to protect this technology. The Company also regularly enters into confidentiality agreements with key employees, customers, potential customers, and vendors and limits access to and distribution of trade secrets and other proprietary information. However, these measures may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology. Additionally, our competitors may independently develop technologies substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We also are subject to the risk of adverse claims and litigation alleging infringement of intellectual property rights of others.

Confidentiality agreements to which we are party may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. Our trade secrets may also be known without breach of such agreements or may be independently developed by competitors. Our inability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and processes could allow our competitors to limit or eliminate any competitive advantages we may have.

The Company Is Potentially Dependent On Third-Party Suppliers.

Although we believe most of the key components required for the production of our products are currently available in sufficient production quantities from multiple sources, they may not remain so readily available. It is possible that other components required in the future may necessitate custom fabrication in accordance with specifications developed or to be developed by us. Also, in the event that we, or our contract manufacturer, as applicable, are unable to develop or acquire components in a timely fashion, our ability to achieve production yields, revenues and net income can be expected to be adversely affected. Additionally, we are dependent on Sanmina-Sci to manufacture our higher volume products. While we believe we would be successful in finding alternative manufacturers should this manufacturer not be available to manufacture our product, it could take substantial time and effort to locate such alternatives and, depending on the timing of the loss of Sanmina-Sci, could result in disruption in delivery schedules and harm to our clients and our reputation and future prospects.
 

 
The Company Is Developing And Commercializing New Energy Saving Technologies And Products Which Will Involve Uncertainty And Risks Related To Product Development And Market Acceptance.

Our success is dependent, to a large degree, upon our ability to fully develop and commercialize our technology and gain industry acceptance of our products based upon our technology and its perceived competitive advantages. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of a new business in a highly competitive industry, characterized by frequent new product introductions. We anticipate that we will incur substantial expense in connection with the development and testing of our proposed products and expect these expenses to result in continuing and significant losses until such time, if ever, that we are able to achieve adequate levels of sales or license revenues.

The Company Has Expanded Its Marketing Strategy.

Our products have been distributed primarily through OEMs. We have recently begun pursuing an expanded distribution strategy designed to reduce our reliance on OEMs. Pursuant to this strategy, we are increasing our direct sales efforts into new markets. Our future growth and profitability will depend upon the successful development of business relationships with additional OEMs, growth in direct sales, and sales through select resellers and reps to penetrate the market with our products.

The Company Currently Depends On A Small Number Of Customers And Expect To Continue To Do So.

The Company currently does business with approximately 20 customers. Of this number, three customers accounted for approximately 84% of our gross revenues in 2007. We are, and may continue to be, dependent upon a small number of customers. Accordingly, the loss of one or more of these customers is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Most Of The Company’s Current And Potential Competitors Have Greater Name Recognition, Financial, Technical And Marketing Resources, And More Extensive Customer Bases And Industry Relationships Than We Do, All Of Which Could Be Leveraged To Gain Market Share To Our Detriment, Particularly In An Environment Of Rapid Technological Change.
 
Although we believe we have limited competition for our specific technology, we compete against a number of companies for dollars in the electric motor energy savings market, many of which have longer operating histories, established markets and far greater financial, advertising, research and development, manufacturing, marketing, personnel and other resources than we currently have or may reasonably expect to have in the foreseeable future. This competition may have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our operations or operate profitably. The motor control industry is also highly competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. Our future performance will depend in large part upon our ability to become and remain competitive and to develop, manufacture and market acceptable products in these markets. Competitive pressures may necessitate price reductions, which can adversely affect revenues and profits. If we are not competitive in our ongoing research and development efforts, our products may become obsolete, or be priced above competitive levels. However, management believes, based upon their performance and price, our products are attractive to customers. We cannot guarantee that competitors will not introduce comparable or technologically superior products, which are priced more favorably than our products.
 
Changes In Retail Energy Prices Could Affect The Company’s Business.

We have found that a customer’s decision to purchase an MEC (or similar product) is primarily driven by the payback on the investment resulting from the increased energy savings. Although management believes that current retail energy prices support an attractive return on investment for our products, the future retail price of electrical energy may not remain at such levels, and price fluctuations reducing energy expense could adversely affect product demand.

Loss Of Key Personnel Could Have Significant Adverse Consequences.

We currently depend on the services of Steve Strasser, and BJ Lackland, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. The loss of the services of either of these persons could have an adverse effect on our business. As discussed under “Management”, we have entered into long-term employment contracts with Messrs. Strasser and Lackland, but such contracts do not guarantee they will remain with us.
 

 
The Company Does Not Have “Key Man” Life Insurance.

The Company presently does not have any key man life insurance policies. As soon as practicable following the commencement of profitable operations (which may never occur), we intend to purchase key man life insurance on the life of our principal executive officer, Steven Strasser. Upon purchase of such insurance, we intend to pay the premiums and be the sole beneficiary. The lack of such insurance may have a material adverse effect upon our business.

Delaware Law Limits The Liability Of Our Directors.

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s directors are not liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability in connection with a breach of the duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law for dividend payments or stock repurchases illegal under Delaware law or any transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit.

Potential Product Liability Claims May Not Be Fully Covered By Insurance.

The Company may be subject to potential product liability claims that could, in the absence of sufficient insurance coverage, have a material adverse impact on us. Presently, we have general liability coverage that includes product liability up to $2,000,000 and umbrella liability up to $4,000,000. Any large product liability suits occurring early in our growth may significantly and adversely affect our ability to expand the market for our products.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Trading In Our Common Stock Over The Last 12 Months Has Been Limited, So Investors May Not Be Able To Sell As Many Of Their Shares As They Want At Prevailing Prices.
 
Shares of our common stock are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Approximately 94,000 shares were traded on an average daily trading basis for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007. If limited trading in our common stock continues, it may be difficult for shareholders to sell their shares. Also, the sale of a large block of our common stock could depress the market price to a greater degree than a company that typically has a higher volume of trading of its securities.
 
The Limited Public Trading Market May Cause Volatility In The Company's Stock Price.
 
The Company’s common stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PEFF”. The quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years such market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies like us. Our common stock is thus subject to this volatility. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

An Active And Visible Trading Market For Our Common Stock May Not Develop.

We cannot predict whether an active market for our common stock will develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market:
 
 
·
Investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;
 
 
·
Market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and
 
 
·
A lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock.
 
The OTC Bulletin Board is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than NASDAQ, and quotes for stocks included on the OTC Bulletin Board are not listed in the financial sections of newspapers, as are those for the NASDAQ Stock Market. The trading price of the common stock is expected to be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results, changes in analysts’ earnings estimates, announcements of innovations by the Company or its competitors, general conditions in the industry in which we operate and other factors. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and market conditions, may have a material or adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 

 
Penny Stock Regulations May Impose Certain Restrictions On Marketability Of The Company's Securities.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. As a result, our common stock is subject to rules that impose additional requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and may affect the ability of investors to sell the Company’s securities in the secondary market and the price at which such purchasers can sell any such securities.
 
Stockholders should be aware that, according to the Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
 
 
·
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
 
 
·
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
 
 
·
"Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
 
 
·
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
 
 
·
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
 
The Company’s management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.
 
The Company May Never Pay Cash Dividends On Our Common Stock.

We have not paid or declared any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying or declaring any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Sales Of Common Stock Under Rule 144 May Adversely Affect The Market Price Of Our Common Stock.

Possible Resales under Rule 144. Of the 40,411,858 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the date of this report, 27,676,701 shares are freely trading in the market place (the “Free Trading Shares”). The Free Trading Shares are comprised mostly of shares (1) originally issued in private offerings of common stock from June through March 2007, that were later registered in the Company’s SB-2 Registration Statements (the “Registration Statement”), both declared effective on May 14, 2007 and (2) shares originally issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

The remaining 12,735,157 shares of our common stock outstanding are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 and under certain circumstances may be resold without registration pursuant to Rule 144. These shares include the 8,320,569 shares held by Summit and Steven Strasser in the aggregate, and 1,165,539 shares held by a directors and insiders

In addition, the Company had approximately 29,204,968 common stock purchase warrants outstanding and approximately 14,309,896 common stock options outstanding as of the date of this report, including the warrants issued in connection with the recent private offer and sale of preferred stock units (See Note 18 to the Financial Statements). The shares issuable on exercise of the options and warrants may, under certain circumstances, be available for public sale in the open market under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144, subject to certain limitations.
 

 
In general, pursuant to Rule 144, after satisfying a six month holding period: (i) affiliated stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale and (ii) non-affiliated stockholders may sell without such limitations, provided we are current in our public reporting obligations. Rule 144 also permits the sale of securities by non-affiliates that have satisfied a one year holding period without any limitation or restriction. Any substantial sale of the common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company’s shares.

Exercise Of Outstanding Options And Warrants Will Dilute Ownership Of Outstanding Shares.

As of the date of this report, the Company has reserved 71,429 shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of stock options or similar awards which may be granted pursuant to the 1994 Plan, of which no options are outstanding. Furthermore, we have reserved 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of stock options or similar awards which may be granted pursuant to the 2000 Plan, of which options to purchase an aggregate of 14,309,896 shares are outstanding. The outstanding options under the 2000 Plan have a weighted average exercise price of $0.36. As of the date of this report, we have issued warrants exercisable for 29,204,968 shares of common stock to financial consultants, investors, former employees and other business partners, having a weighted average exercise price of $0.45 and expiring on various dates from October 2009 to January 2013. Exercise of these options and warrants in the future will reduce the percentage of common stock held by the public stockholders. Furthermore, the terms on which we could obtain additional capital during the life of the options and warrants may be adversely affected, and it should be expected that the holders of the options and warrants would exercise them at a time when we would be able to obtain equity capital on terms more favorable than those provided for by such options and warrants.

The Company’s Issuance Of “Blank Check” Preferred Stock Could Adversely Affect Our Common Stockholders.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the board of directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the relative voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, which could have the effect of discouraging bids for the Company and thereby prevent stockholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares. From October 29, 2007, through January 21, 2008, the Company sold 140,000 shares of its Series B preferred stock in a private offering of units (See Note 18 to the Financial Statements).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations or Plan of Operation.
 
OVERVIEW
 
The Company generates revenues from a single business segment: the design, development, marketing and sale of proprietary solid state electrical components designed to reduce energy consumption in alternating current induction motors.
 
The Company began generating revenues from sales of its MEC line of motor controllers in the late 1990s. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had total stockholders’ equity of $6,972,640 primarily due to the Company’s sale of 134,400 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in a private offering in October through December 2007; 14,116,680 shares of common stock in a private stock offering in November 2006 through March 2007, 14,500,000 shares of common stock in a private stock offering in July and August of 2005, the Company’s sale of 2,346,233 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred stock to Summit Energy Ventures, LLC in June of 2002 and the conversion of notes payable of approximately $1,047,000 into 982,504 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred stock in October of 2003. In addition, in August 2000, the Company purchased the assets of Percon, formerly the largest distributor of the Company’s products. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and the Company’s Statements of Operations includes Percon’s results of operations since the date of acquisition. The consolidation of the operations of both entities allowed the Company to integrate the administrative, sales, marketing and manufacturing operations of Percon. Percon had developed sales contacts with major OEM’s in the elevator/escalator industry and transferred those agreements to the Company as part of the sale.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FISCAL YEAR 2007 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2006
 
REVENUES
 
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007, were $490,510 compared to $188,811 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $301,699, or 160%. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in sales in the elevator and escalator market segment. Specifically, sales increased due to wider acceptance by a number of OEMs, sales to large transit authorities, and acceptance by utilities.
 
COST OF REVENUES
 
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $340,468 compared to $136,240 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $204,228 or 150%. As a percentage of product revenues, total costs of product revenues decreased to approximately 69% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to approximately 72% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in the costs as a percentage of product revenues was due to a higher volume of sales in 2007, which resulted in lower per unit production costs, as well as charging higher prices in 2007, which resulted in higher margins.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $150,042 compared to $52,571 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $97,471 or 185%. This increase was primarily due to a higher volume of sales in 2007 and charging higher prices in 2007.
 

 
OPERATING EXPENSES
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses were $667,786 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $567,591 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $100,195 or 18%. This increase is mainly attributable to the Company’s continued research and development efforts on its digital controller for both its single-phase and three-phase products, including additional personnel in the Company’s research and development department, which resulted in higher salaries and related payroll costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,721,284 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $3,118,233 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $396,949 or 13%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses over the prior year was due primarily to a decrease in payroll and payroll related costs, including SFAS 123R expenses (see Note 12 to the Financial Statements), and to decreases in financing costs.

Interest expense was approximately $679,306 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $1,354,195 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $674,889 or 50%. The decrease in interest expense is primarily related to non-cash finance charges related to the value of stock warrants issued in connection with debt securities issued by the Company in 2006. These debts securities were paid off in full during 2007, resulting in the elimination of the non-cash charges by the end of 2007. Total non-cash interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $431,087, compared to $1,039,445 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $608,358 or 59%.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources: For the Year Ended December 31, 2007
 
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of its securities. In 2007, the Company received approximately $7,745,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement of its preferred stock, common stock and warrants to purchase common stock, as to which the Company is required to file a registration statement on Form SB-2 or other relevant registration statement. Of this amount, $1,850,000 was converted from existing debt securities. Also in 2007, the Company grossed approximately $680,000 in cash from the exercise of warrants. As of December 31, 2007 the Company has received a total of approximately $20,305,000 from public and private offerings of its equity securities, received $300,000 from a bridge note with a shareholder (which was converted into 3,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,500,000 warrants with an additional investment of $300,000 on July 8, 2005), received approximately $445,386 under a bank line of credit (which was repaid during 2002), and received $1,000,000 under a line of credit with a shareholder (which was converted to Series A-1 Preferred Convertible shares during 2003). In October 2004 and February 2005, the Company received $1,589,806 in debt financing through a debt offering arranged by a placement agent, Pali Capital. Of this total, $300,000 plus accrued interest was converted from borrowings with the same shareholder as referenced above. In April 2006, the Company received $1,000,000 in debt financing from EMTUCK , LLC, in which the managing member is a management company wholly owned and controlled by Steven Strasser, the Company's CEO. In May 2006, the Company received an additional $500,000 in debt financing from EMTUCK. In November 2006, the Company received $2,000,000 in debt financing. Of this amount, $1,450,000 was converted from borrowings from prior investors. This $2,000,000 note was paid off in full in October of 2007. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had cash of $5,086,378 and has no outstanding debt securities.
 
Net cash used for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $2,850,927 which primarily consisted of: a net loss of $3,891,795; less bad debt expense of $16,934, depreciation and amortization of $47,036, loss on disposal of fixed assets of $3,516, amortization of debt discounts of $419,859, amortization of deferred financing costs of $11,228, deferred rent of $12,063, warrants and options issued in connection with settlements, services from consultants, vendors, the forgiveness of indebtedness, the issuance of debt, and to employees and consultants of $655,392, decreases in inventory of $25,090 and prepaid expenses of $29,173, increases in accounts receivable of $93,994, and deposits of $88,388. In addition, these amounts were partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,354, and customer deposits of $1,605.

Net cash used for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2,756,724 which primarily consisted of: a net loss of $5,020,775; less bad debt expense of $11,470, depreciation and amortization of $34,028, loss on disposal of fixed assets of $585, amortization of debt discounts of $1,039,451, amortization of deferred financing costs of $70,364, warrants and options issued in connection with settlements, services from consultants, vendors, the forgiveness of indebtedness, the issuance of debt, and to employees and consultants of $1,074,848, common stock issued for consulting services of $90,000, decreases in accounts receivable of $26,464, and inventory of $14,487, increases in prepaid expenses of $3,206, deposits of $33,875, and restricted cash related to a note payable of $4,688. In addition, these amounts were partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $55,454, customer deposits of $5,105 and an increase in accrued salaries and payroll taxes of $4,682.
 

 
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal year 2007 was $92,537, compared to $90,567 in fiscal year 2006.  The amount for 2007 consisted of the purchase of fixed assets of $85,610, and costs related to patent applications of $6,927. The amount for 2006 consisted of the purchase of fixed assets.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal year 2007 was $6,336,258 which consisted of proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, net of costs, of $8,347,369. This amount was offset by payments on notes payable of $2,011,111.

Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal year 2006 was $3,531,755 which primarily consisted of proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, net of costs, of $3,180,000, proceeds from the issuance of debt securities of $2,000,000 and proceeds from a line of credit of $1,500,000. These amounts were offset by payments on notes payable of $1,648,245 and payments on a line of credit of $1,500,000.

The Company expects to increase 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 Company anticipates that operating expenses will constitute a material use of any cash resources.

Cash Requirements and Need for Additional Funds
 
The Company anticipates a substantial need for cash to fund its working capital requirements. In accordance with the Company’s prepared expansion plan, it is the opinion of management that approximately $3.0 - $3.6 million will be required to cover operating expenses, including, but not limited to, marketing, sales, research and operations during the next twelve months. Although we currently have over 12 months of working capital, we may nevertheless need to issue additional debt or equity securities to raise required funds. If the Company is unable to obtain funding on reasonable terms or finance its needs through current operations, the Company will be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy or cease operations.
 
Notable changes to expenses are expected to include an increase in the Company’s sales personnel and efforts, and developing more advanced versions of the Company’s technology and products.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Power Efficiency Corporation
Las Vegas, Nevada

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Power Efficiency Corporation, (a Delaware corporation) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Power Efficiency Corporation at December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and the Company has experienced a deficiency of cash from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

POWER EFFICIENCY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

 
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS:

 
Power Efficiency Corporation ("Power Efficiency" and/or the "Company"), is incorporated in Delaware. Power Efficiency designs, develops, markets and sells proprietary solid state electrical devices designed to reduce energy consumption in alternating current induction motors. Alternating current induction motors are commonly found in industrial and commercial facilities throughout the world. The Company currently has one principal and proprietary product: the three phase Motor Efficiency Controller, which is used in industrial and commercial applications, such as rock crushers, granulators, and escalators. Additionally, the Company has developed a digital single phase controller in pre-production form, in preparation for working with Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) to Incorporate the technology into their equipment..

The Company's primary customers have been original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) and commercial accounts located throughout the United States of America and various countries.

Power Efficiency formed Design Efficient Energy Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. This entity was formed to obtain energy grants and rebates for customers of the Company from state governmental bodies. Design Efficient Energy Services, LLC has been inactive since inception.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Inventories:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company reviews inventory for impairments to net realizable value whenever circumstances arise. Such circumstances may include, but are not limited too, the discontinuation of a product line or re-engineering certain components making certain parts obsolete. At December 31, 2007, inventories consisted primarily of raw materials. Management has determined a reserve for inventory obsolescence is not necessary at December 31, 2007.

Accounts Receivable:
The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts and returns. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.

Research and Development:
Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 7 years.

F-6

 
POWER EFFICIENCY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006


Website:
Website development, maintenance and hosting costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Costs:
The Company bills customers for freight. Actual costs for shipping and handling are included as a component of cost of sales.

Deferred Financing Costs:
Expenditures incurred in conjunction with debt or equity capital issuances are deferred as other assets until the related offering is complete. Once the offering is completed, costs related to equity issuances will be offset against equity proceeds, and such costs related to debt issuances are amortized on a straight line basis, over the life of the debt. Both equity and debt related costs are expensed if the offering is not completed.

Patents:
Costs associated with applying for U.S. patents based upon technology developed by the Company are capitalized. At the time the patent is awarded, the asset will be amortized on a straight line basis, over the remaining term of the patent. If no patent is issued, these costs will be expensed in the period when it is determined that no patent will be issued.

Deferred Rent:
The Company accounts for rent expense on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes. The difference between cash payments and rent expense is included in deferred rent.

Revenue Recognition:
Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time of shipment, when all services are complete. Returns and other sales adjustments (warranty accruals, discounts and shipping credits) are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Loss Per Common Share:
Loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is not presented since giving effect to potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for employee stock options as compensation expense, in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments.” SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards, and applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards.

POWER EFFICIENCY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006 

 
In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. The impact of applying SFAS No. 123R approximated $655,000 and $1,075,000 in additional compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Such amounts are included in research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expense on the statement of operations.

Product Warranties:
The Company warrants its products for two years. Estimated product warranty expenses are accrued in cost of sales at the time the related sale is recognized. Estimates of warranty expenses are based primarily on historical warranty claim experience. Warranty expenses include accruals for basic warranties for products sold.

Provision for Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected future tax impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS No. 109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

The provision for taxes represents state franchise taxes.

Goodwill:
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill shall no longer be amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests on a quarterly basis, utilizing a two-step test, as described in SFAS No. 142.

Advertising:
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $7,504 and $1,733 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

POWER EFFICIENCY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006


New Accounting Pronouncements:
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The FASB issued SFAS No. 159 to mitigate earnings volatility that arises when financial assets and liabilities are measured differently, and to expand the use of fair value measurement for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48.” FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 and FIN 48-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Financial Statement Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 financial statements in order for them to conform to the 2007 financial statement presentation.
 

NOTE 3 - GOING 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 has suffered recurring losses from operations, and the Company experienced a $2,850,927 deficiency of cash from operations in 2007. While the Company appears to have adequate liquidity at December 31, 2007, there can be no assurances that such liquidity will remain sufficient.
 
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. Management's plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers. Management is seeking to raise additional capital through equity issuance, debt financing or other types of financing (See Note 22). However, there are no assurances that sufficient capital will be raised.
 
On January 21, 2008, the Company closed on a private offering of its Series B Preferred Stock which grossed $280,000 (See Notes 18 and Note 22).

NOTE 6 - GOODWILL:

 
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", previously recognized intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives were tested by management for impairment during fiscal 2007 utilizing a two-step test. An annual goodwill impairment test was performed by management in addition to quarterly goodwill impairment tests. 

The first part of the test is to compare the Company’s fair market value (the number of the Company’s common shares outstanding multiplied by the closing stock price of the date of the test), to the book value of the Company (the Company’s total stockholders’ equity, as of the date of the test). If the fair market value of the Company is greater than the book value, no impairment exists as of the date of the test. However, if book value exceeds fair market value, the Company must perform part two of the test, which involves recalculating the implied goodwill by repeating the acquisition analysis that was originally used to calculate goodwill, using purchase accounting as if the acquisition happened on the date of the test, to calculate the implied goodwill as of the date of the test.

The Company’s most recent impairment analysis was performed on December 31, 2007, on the Company’s single reporting unit. As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s fair market value was $22,199,036, and the Company’s book value was $6,972,640. Based on this, no impairment exists as of December 31, 2007.

Circumstances may arise in which the Company will perform an impairment test in addition to its annual and quarterly tests. An example of one of these circumstances would be a sudden sharp drop in the Company’s stock price.

During 2007, the Company issued the following warrants: 100,000 warrants as consulting fees to a sales consultant, which were valued at $15,458 and expensed and included in selling, general and administrative expenses; 1,000,000 warrants as consulting fees to a technical consultant, which were valued at $228,200, however, these warrants have special vesting provisions, therefore the Company did not recognize an expense for these warrants in 2007; 1,708,338 warrants to investors, in connection with the Company’s private offering of common stock (See Note 19), which were valued at $224,843 and recorded as additional paid in capital; 6,720,000 warrants to investors, in connection with the Company’s private offering of its Series B preferred stock (See Note 19), which were valued at $3,421,631 and recorded as additional paid in capital.

During 2006, the Company issued the following warrants: 300,000 warrants as consulting fees to an investment bank, which were valued at $74,430 and expensed and included in selling, general and administrative expenses; 24,000 warrants as consulting fees to a technical consultant, which were valued at $1,098 and expensed and included in research and development expenses; 2,647,572 warrants to noteholders in connection with the Company’s issuance of debt securities, which were valued at $1,104,383, recorded as a debt discount, and amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes; 7,850,004 warrants to investors, in connection with the Company’s private offering of common stock and debt securities, which closed on November 30, 2006 (See Notes 16 and 19), which were valued at $1,344,456 and recorded as additional paid in capital.

The fair value of each warrant is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding.

The fair value of warrants granted is estimated on the date of grant based on the weighted-average assumptions in the table below. The assumption for the expected life is based on evaluations of historical and expected exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The historical stock volatility of the Company’s common stock is used as the basis for the volatility assumption.

Weighted average remaining contractual life at December 31, 2007, for all options is 7.15 years.

In 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "2000 Plan"). On June 8, 2007, the 2000 Plan was amended and restated. The 2000 Plan, as restated and amended, provides for the granting of options to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock. 100,000 options have been exercised to date. There are 14,309,896 options outstanding under the 2000 Plan.

During 2007, the Company granted 3,725,000 stock options to directors and employees at exercise prices approximating fair market value of the stock on the date of each grant. Such issuances to directors and employees were valued at $714,239, utilizing similar factors as described below, which was expensed and is included in research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses.

During 2006, the Company granted 5,587,500 stock options to directors, officers and employees at exercise prices approximating fair market value of the stock on the date of each grant. Such issuances to directors, officers and employees were valued at $999,320, utilizing similar factors as described below, which was expensed and is included in research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses.

In 1994, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"). The 1994 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to 71,429 shares of common stock. No options have been exercised to date. There are no options outstanding under the 1994 Plan, and the Company does not plan to issue any more options under this plan.

Share Based Compensation Payments:
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the net issuance of 3,725,000 stock options to directors, officers and employees. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the net issuance of 5,587,500 stock options to officers, employees and consultants. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants: expected volatility of 166% and 100% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively; risk-free interest rate of 4.5% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006; and expected lives of approximately 10.0 years.

The Company accounts for employee stock options as compensation expense, in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments.” SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards.

In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.

Litigation:
Presently, the Company is not involved in any litigation.

On March 19, 2007, the Company reached an agreement with GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc. (“GE Fanuc”) to cease using its Power Genius name for its products. As consideration, GE Fanuc paid the Company $20,000.

Subcontractors:
During 2006, the Company utilized one subcontractor in Michigan and one subcontractor in Nevada as turn-key manufacturers for its analog product. On March 15, 2006, the Company terminated its agreement with its Livonia, Michigan subcontractor. In December of 2007, the Company ceased using the Las Vegas, Nevada subcontractor and began to manufacture its analog and some of its digital product in-house.

The Company directly sources its own analog circuit boards from a contract circuit board manufacturer. Over the past year, the Company has primarily sourced analog circuit boards from RMF Design and Manufacturing (“RMF”), based outside of Toronto, Canada. The Company believes RMF has the ability to meet the Company’s analog circuit board production needs and the Company would be successful in finding alternative manufacturers should RMF not be available to manufacture these circuit boards.

On September 6, 2007, the Company entered into a manufacturing service agreement with Sanima-Sci Corporation (“Sanmina-Sci”) for the production of digital units and digital circuit boards. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company will purchase an amount of digital units, subject to certain minimum quantities, from Sanima-Sci equal to an initial firm order agreed upon by the Company and Sanima-Sci and subsequent nine-month requirements forecasts. The initial term of the contract is one year, and upon expiration of the initial term, the contract will continue on a year to year basis until one party gives notice to terminate. At the present time the Company is not able to determine if the actual purchases will be in excess of these minimum commitments, or if any potential liability will be incurred. At December 31, 2007, the Company has approximately $100,000 in open purchase orders with this subcontractor. Additionally, the Company is committed for an additional $300,000 during the initial term of this agreement. At December 31, 2007, the Company has approximately $81,000 on deposit with Sanmina-Sci.

Investment Advisory Agreements:
The Company entered into a consulting agreement with an investment advisor on December 1, 2004. The agreement calls for the investment advisor to assist the Company in devising financial and marketing strategies, and also to assist the Company in raising funds on a non-exclusive basis through the offering of debt and/or equity securities. The agreement expired on November 30, 2005 and was renewed on February 21, 2006. The company shall pay the investment advisor the amount of $4,000 per month, plus expenses approved by the Company and issue 300,000 options. The Company terminated the engagement with the consultant for non-performance on April 20, 2006. The Company paid the investment advisor $35,000 during the year ended  December 31, 2006, and the agreement has been satisfied in full.

NOTE 16 - NOTES PAYABLE:

 
On November 30, 2006, the Company entered into a financing transaction in which the Company issued $2,000,000 of its two year, senior, secured promissory notes (collectively the “Notes”, individually a “Note”). The Notes bear interest of 15% per annum. Interest due under the Notes is payable quarterly, with the principal and final quarterly interest payment becoming due November 30, 2008. The Notes have a first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company. Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Note, included herein as an exhibit) the holder may, upon written notice to the Company, elect to declare the entire principal amount of the Note then outstanding together with accrued unpaid interest thereon due and payable. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall have seven business days to cure the Event of Default, and if uncured on the eighth business day, all principal and interest shall become immediately due and payable. The Company also issued with 2,500,000 warrants (the “Debt Warrants”) to purchase common stock of the Company to the holders of the Notes. The Debt Warrants have a per share exercise price of $0.40 and expire November 29, 2011. 1,250,000 of the Debt Warrants are exercisable immediately, with the remaining 1,250,000 Debt Warrants becoming exercisable in equal amounts over 24 months beginning December 29, 2006. The common stock issuable upon exercise of the Debt Warrants has piggyback registration rights, and can be included in the Company’s next registration statement. The Debt Warrants have a cashless exercise provision, but only if the registration statement on which the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Debt Warrants is not then effective. The Notes were paid off in full on October 29, 2007 (See Note 18.)

The $2,000,000 loan consisted of $550,000 from Steven Strasser, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s largest beneficial shareholder, $200,000 from Commerce Energy Group, Inc, the Company’s second largest shareholder prior to the Offering, and $1,250,000 from individual investors. $1,450,000 of these Notes came from the exchange of existing promissory notes of the Company.

The Company’s previously issued notes, including $1,464,306 issued on October 27, 2004, $125,000 issued on February 24, 2005 (collectively the “Pali Notes”) and $1,500,000 issued to EMTUCK, were paid off in November 2006, and such paid off note holders no longer hold a security interest in the Company’s assets.

Controls and Procedures.
 
(a) 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 Company’s 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 Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, there were no significant changes in the Company’s 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 Company’s internal controls. Accordingly, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.

(c) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
Internal control over financial reporting is promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
•    Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
•    Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
•    Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Readers are cautioned that internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure, controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this Report based upon the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on such evaluation, our management has made an assessment that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2007.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Raymond Skiptunis, the Chairman of our audit committee, qualifies as a financial expert. Our audit committee, among other things:

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that all executive officers and directors of the Company and all persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company's common stock file an initial report of their ownership of the Company's securities on Form 3 and report changes in their ownership of the Company's securities on Form 4 or Form 5. These filings must be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers with a copy sent to the Company. To our knowledge, all executive officers, directors and all persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company’s common stock have timely filed these filings.


 
CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics. The Company has been focused on developing technology, generating sales and raising capital to support operations and consequently has not focused on adopting a code of ethics. In early 2006, the Company developed and implemented an official Employee Manual that requires ethical behavior from its employees, and defines the consequences of unethical behavior by its employees.

Stock Option Plan Narrative Disclosure
 
As of December 31, 2007, we had an aggregate of 14,309,896 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under our stock plans. The following is a description of our plans.
 
2000 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, or the 2000 Plan
 
The 2000 Plan, was adopted by our board of directors and our stockholders in 2000. On June 8, 2007, the 2000 Plan was amended and restated. As of December 31, 2007, no restricted shares of Common Stock have been issued, and 100,000 of the outstanding options to purchase shares of our Common Stock have been exercised pursuant to the 2000 Plan. There are 14,309,896 options outstanding under the 2000 Plan as of December 31, 2007.
 
Share Reserve. Under the 2000 Plan, we have initially reserved for issuance an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares.
 
Administration. The 2000 Plan is administered by the board of directors. The stock option awards qualify as "performance-based-compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, with two or more outside directors within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The board of directors has the power to determine the terms of the awards, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each award, the exercisability of the awards and the form of consideration payable upon exercise.
 
Eligibility. Awards under the 2000 Plan may be granted to any of our employees, directors or consultants or those of our affiliates.
 
Options. With respect to non-statutory stock options intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and incentive stock options, the exercise price must be at least equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. In addition, the exercise price for any incentive stock option granted to any employee owning more than 10% of our Common Stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of any stock option may not exceed ten years, except that with respect to any participant who owns 10% or more of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the term for incentive stock options must not exceed five years.
 

 
Stock Awards. The administrator may determine the number of shares to be granted and impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate, including performance criteria. The criteria may be based on financial performance, personal performance evaluations and/or completion of service by the participant. The administrator will determine the level of achievement of performance criteria. Unless the administrator determines otherwise, shares that do not vest typically will be subject to forfeiture or to our right of repurchase, which we may exercise upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the participant's service with us for any reason, including death or disability.
 
Adjustments upon Merger or Change in Control. The 2000 Plan provides that in the event of a merger with or into another corporation or a "change in control," including the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and certain other events, our board of directors (or a committee of the board of directors) may, in its discretion, provide for some or all of:
 
 
·
assumption or substitution of, or adjustment to, each outstanding award;
 
 
·
acceleration of the vesting of options and stock appreciation rights;
 
 
·
termination of any restrictions on stock awards or cash awards; or
 
 
·
cancellation of awards in exchange for a cash payment to the participant.
 
Amendment and Termination. The board of directors has the authority to amend, alter or discontinue the 2000 Plan, subject to the approval of the stockholders, but no amendment will impair the rights of any award, unless mutually agreed to between the participant and the administrator.

Narrative to Director Compensation
 
In January 2007, non-employee directors received options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock per year for their board service, pro-rated for the quarters in the year they served. Employee directors do not receive compensation for serving on the board of directors. The Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional 50,000 options per year, pro-rated for the quarters in the year he served, and $1,000 per month. Depending on the anticipated workload and organization, the board of directors may elect to increase the compensation for committee members and/or all non-executive board members.
 

 
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of our directors shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL generally provides that no director shall be liable personally to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that our certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) acts or omissions in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases; or (iv) any transaction from which such director derives improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate our rights and the rights of our stockholders through stockholders' derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty of care as a director including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our or our stockholders' ability to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty.
 
In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, indemnify all directors and officers who we may indemnify pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL permits a company to indemnify an officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding because of his or her position, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers consistent with indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.
 
We maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by our directors and officers in connection with the performance of their duties. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by us.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, our directors and officers, and persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
