On May 22, 2007, the common stock of Save the World Air, Inc. (the Company) was delisted and
will not be quoted on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board (the OTCBB) because of the
Companys failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006
(the Form 10-KSB) by the end of the OTCBB delinquency period, which expired at 5:30 pm local time
on May 18, 2007. Under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC), the Form 10-KSB was due to be filed with the SEC not later than 90 calendar days following
the completion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, plus an additional 15 calendar day
extension upon the filing with the SEC of a notification on Form 12b-25 (the Form 12b-25) that
the Company would file its Form 10-KSB late. The 30-day OTCBB delinquency period commenced after
such time.
The Company believes that its common stock will continue to be quoted over the counter on the
pink sheets.
The Company previously reported in the Form 12b-25, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2007
preliminary results of operations. Results for the year ended December 31, 2006 versus 2005, as
updated to reflect the change in presentation described below, are as follows:
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded our first revenues and
cost of goods sold of $30,000 and $13,400, respectively, realizing a gross profit of $16,600,
compared to $0 and $0, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Company reported on its Form 12b-5 that it expected to report general and administrative
expenses of $9,810,918 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $2,980,046 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Since the filing of
its Form 12b-25, the Company has reclassified the presentation of general and administrative
expenses to operating expenses. The difference between the Companys
prior presentation of general and administrative expenses and its presentation of operating
expenses is comprised completely of the reclassification of the interest expense related to the
issuance of the Companys convertible notes. The reclassification of presentation of general and
administrative expenses to operating expenses did not result in any difference in the net loss as
reported in the 12b-25 filing and as expected to be reported in the 10K-SB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The Company now expects to report operating expenses of $7,412,227 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006, compared to $2,631,082 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, an increase
of $4,781,145. The increase in operating expenses is largely due to the continued cost of the
Company bringing its first product to market and the normal course of business operations. Much of
the increase is also due to non-cash compensation to both employees and to consultants and other
professionals. Specifically,
this increase is attributable to increases in fair value of stock options given to employees
($2,253,263); salaries and benefits expenses ($1,076,122); consulting and professional fees
($480,813); non-cash expenses of amortization of deferred compensation, consulting fees,
professional fees and settlement cost ($221,852); corporate expenses ($161,012); non-cash
depreciation ($135,112); travel ($126,675); office and other expenses ($111,384); rent and utilities
($109,919); and exhibit and trade shows ($104,993).
Research and development expenses were $401,827 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,
compared to $1,150,361 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $748,534. Our
research and development expenses include contracts with RAND, consultants fees, capital
expenditures, cost of services and supplies. The decrease in research and development expenses is
primarily attributable to a decrease in contracts with RAND Corporation ($785,000) and R&D
consulting fees ($64,270). These decreases were offset by increases in travel expenses ($68,686)
and testing tools and supplies ($32,050).
Interest income was $15,422 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $0 for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is the result of excess cash from fund raising
that was invested in a money market accounts. Interest expense was $2,398,691 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006 compared to $348,964 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 an
increase of $2,049,727. The increase is due to a non-cash increase of $1,965,894 from amortization
of debt discount on convertible notes and payments of $83,833 on convertible notes. The settlement
of litigation and debt was $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $1,017,208
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
We had a net loss of $10,181,523, or $.28 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2006, as
compared to a net loss of $3,115,186, or $.08 per share for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2005.
As a result primarily of limited financial and personnel resources, the Company has been
unable to complete its financial statements and the Form 10-KSB. It is in the process of doing so,
and currently believes that it will be able to file the Form 10-KSB during the week of May 21,
2007.
The Company intends to request a market maker to file a Form 211 with the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the NASD) as soon as reasonably possible in order to seek to have
its common stock quoted again on the OTCBB. The Company cannot estimate when, or if, approval by
the NASD may be received for such re-quotation on the OTCBB.
For information concerning additional financial information, please see Item 8.01, Other
Information.
Item 8.01
Other Information
On May 22, 2007, the common
stock of Save the World Air, Inc. (the Company) was delisted and
will not be quoted on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board (the OTCBB) because of the
Companys failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006
(the Form 10-KSB) by the end of the OTCBB delinquency period, which expired at 5:30 pm local time
on May 18, 2007. Under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Form 10-KSB was due to be filed
with the SEC not later than 90 calendar days following the completion of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006, plus an additional 15 calendar day extension upon the filing with the SEC of the
Form 12b-25 that the Company would file its Form 10-KSB late. The 30-day OTCBB delinquency period
commenced after such time.
Additionally, the Company does not expect to be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 (the Form 10-QSB) in a timely manner. Under the
rules and regulations of the SEC, the Form 10-QSB was due to be filed with the SEC not later than
45 calendar days following the completion of the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company did not
file a Form 12b-25 with respect to the Form 10-QSB, because it would not have been able to file the
Form 10-QSB within the five calendar day extension period applicable to quarterly reports.
As a result primarily of limited financial and personnel resources, the Company has been
unable to complete its financial statements and the Form 10-QSB. It soon expects to be able to do
so, and currently believes that it may be able to file the Form 10-QSB during the week of May 28 or
June 4, 2007.
The Company s preliminary revenue and net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 follow,
These preliminary results have not been reviewed by the audit firm.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company expects to report revenue of approximately
$22,000 compared to no revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
The Company expects to report a net loss of approximately $2.0 million, or $0.05 per share,
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as compared to a net loss of approximately $3.0 million or
$0.10 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
