Further, in some cases, the selling stockholders will also be required to provide a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms on which they are offering and selling our common stock. If a prospectus supplement is provided and the description of the offering in the prospectus supplement varies from the information in this prospectus, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This section highlights selected information only and may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. Please read this entire prospectus before making your investment decision. This summary, including the summary financial information, is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to “Power Efficiency” or the “Company” or when we speak of ourselves generally, we are referring to Power Efficiency Corporation unless the context indicates otherwise or as otherwise noted.

THE OFFERINGS
 
On January 21, 2008, Power Efficiency Corporation issued an aggregate of 140,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, and a warrant to purchase 50 shares of the Company’s common stock, receiving aggregate consideration of $7,000,000, which included $5,150,000 of cash and the cancellation of $1,850,000 of debt. The Series B Preferred Stock and warrants issued in the offering are convertible or exercisable, as applicable, into an aggregate of up to 18,360,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time. The Series B Preferred Stock is also subject to mandatory conversion in the event the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for any ten day period equals or exceeds $1.00 per share, such conversion to be effective on the trading day immediately following such ten day period. The Series B Preferred Stock has an 8% dividend, payable annually in cash or stock, at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Each warrant is exercisable for up to 50 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share and expires five years from the date of issuance.
 
On November 30, 2006, January 19, 2007, March 2, 2007, March 7, 2007, March 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 12,950,016 shares of its common stock and 8,287,508 common stock purchase warrants in a private offering for an aggregate of $4,235,000 in cash, cancellation of indebtedness and in lieu of compensation owed to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company. The per share purchase price of the common stock was $0.30. The warrants have a per share exercise price of $0.40, are exercisable immediately and expire five years from the date of issuance. The $4,235,000 investment consisted of $400,000 from the cancellation of indebtedness, approximately $50,000 in lieu of compensation owed to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company, and approximately $3,785,000 in new cash.

In June, July and August of 2005, we conducted a private offering of our common stock and warrants. We offered up to 50 units, at $50,000 each, to individuals or entities who qualified as "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each such unit consisted of (a) 250,000 shares of common stock and (b) a warrant to purchase prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary following the closing 125,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.40. The placement closed on August 31, 2005 and resulted in gross proceeds of $2,900,000.

THE COMPANY
 
Our Business

Power Efficiency produces products that reduce energy costs in specific commercial applications, utilizing patented improvements upon motor controller technologies developed by National Aeronautics Space Administration (“NASA”), as well as technologies based solely on the Company’s inventions. The Company has branded these collective patented and patent pending technologies as  E-SAVE Technology® and has a registered trademark on this name. Our products are solid-state motor controllers which reduce the amount of power consumed by alternating current (AC) induction motors operating at constant speeds and under variable loads. Our products were previously marketed as the Performance Controller and the Power Genius, but have recently been re-branded as Motor Efficiency Controllers (“MEC”). The MEC reduces energy consumption on electrical equipment by electronically sensing and controlling the amount of energy the motor consumes on certain applications. The energy savings can range up to 35%, while the life of the motor is extended because of both the reduced motor operating temperatures and the reduced mechanical stress provided by its “soft start” technology. The efficiency of the MEC has been tested by Excel Energy, Nevada Power Company, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, independent third parties, with positive results.

We market our products directly under the brand name MEC, and through other companies under names such as Power Commander® and EcoStart™. Customers include large elevator and escalator manufacturers such as Otis Elevator Co. (a subsidiary of United Technologies, Inc.) and KONE Inc.

Alternating current induction motors are commonly found in industrial and commercial facilities throughout the world. Customers for the MEC are typically in a high electricity cost environment, may have local utility or governmental incentives to save energy, has energy usage as a significant operating cost, uses constant speed induction motors that are lightly or cyclically loaded, and has motors that run continuously or have frequent on/off cycles. This customer base represents a market which includes target sectors such as elevators, escalators, granulators, oil pump jacks, conveyors and other industrial applications.

We are focused on creating distribution channels to take advantage of opportunities given the current conditions in the energy market and how our product meets these needs. Management believes this multi-channel distribution strategy, if successful, will allow Power Efficiency to achieve sustainable revenue growth.
 
Highlights

Demonstrated Energy Savings - Over 1,000 units have been installed at facilities throughout the U.S. The products have demonstrated the ability to reduce the energy consumption of AC induction motors, by up to 35% in appropriate applications.

Patented Technology - Our products incorporate technology developed and patented by NASA. Our own patent encompasses a number of improvements on the NASA technology made by our engineers. We recently filed five provisional patents and three utility patents on additional technological advancements.

Extensive Engineering - Our products incorporate trade secret and engineering know-how, which we believe enables them to operate effectively over a broad range of conditions.
 
Large Potential Market - The United States consumes over $200 billion of electricity annually. A study for the United States Department of Energy estimates that motor driven systems consume 23% of all electricity in the U.S. and 64% of all the electricity used in the manufacturing sector. Based on our own in-house testing, our product can save up to 35% of the energy consumed by electric AC induction motors in appropriate applications. These applications include most motors that work at constant speed but are variably loaded, such as the AC motors found on many elevators, escalators, granulators, saw mills, stamping presses and other manufacturing equipment.
 
New Products - We have developed and received certifications for digital versions of our products ranging from 22 to 380 amps. We have also developed a prototype unit for small motors such as those found in residential and light commercial equipment and appliances.

Limited Competition - We are not aware of any products on the market today that have been certified by CE (Conformity European) CSA (Canadian Standards Association), and UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.), and offer the same energy-saving and soft start characteristics as our products.

International Distribution - International markets, such as those in Europe and Asia, often have higher prices for electricity than in the U.S. Therefore, we believe international markets provide a significant opportunity in the future.

A detailed description of our business strategy is provided under the heading “Business” below.

Our headquarters is located at 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 460, Las Vegas, NV 89169, and our telephone number is 702-697-0377.

Selling Stockholders

The shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that are being offered by the selling stockholders consist of up to 59,687,619 shares issued or to be issued (the "Securities") to the selling stockholders within 60 days of the date hereof. The full name, address and control persons of the selling stockholders are set forth beginning on page 29 of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in the Company’s common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to purchase the shares offered hereby. If any of the following risks occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are intended to be the material risks that are specific to us and to our industry. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause future actual results to differ materially from those contained in any historical or forward-looking statements.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
Unless We Achieve Profitability and Related Positive Cash Flow, The Company May Not Be Able To Continue Operations, And Our Auditors Have Questioned Our Ability To Continue As A "Going Concern".
 
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and experienced a deficiency of cash of approximately $892,000, $3,100,000 and $2,851,000 from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had net losses of $1,296,341, $3,948,204 and $3,891,795, respectively.  In our Auditor’s Report dated March 30, 2009 on our December 31, 2008 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 intend to seek to raise additional capital through equity issuance, debt financing or 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 our total revenues were $47,147, for the year ended December 31, 2008, our total revenues were $480,513, and for the year ended December 31, 2007, our total revenues were $490,510.

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 several 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 prospectus, management controls approximately nineteen percent (19%) of our issued and outstanding common stock and voting equivalents. Additionally, Summit Energy Ventures, LLC (“Summit”) owns twelve percent (12%) 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.  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:
 
3

 
·
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.
 
The relationships between Summit and our executive officers are discussed in more detail under “Certain Relationships And Related Party Transactions” herein.
 
The Company’s Business Depends Upon The Maintenance Of Its Proprietary Technology, Which Relies, In Part, On Contractual Provisions To Protect Its 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 its technology. Additionally, its competitors may independently develop technologies substantially equivalent or superior to its technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The Company is 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.
 
We Are 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 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, harm to our clients and our reputation and future prospects.
 
We Are 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 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.

We Have Limited Experience in Direct Sales.

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 Expects To Continue To Do So.

The Company currently does business with approximately 20 customers. Of this number, four customers accounted for approximately 82% of our gross revenues in 2008.  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.
 
4

 
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 Our Business.

We have found that a customer’s decision to purchase a Motor Efficiency Controller, or MEC, (or similar product) is primarily driven by the payback on the investment resulting from the increased energy savings. Although believe 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 demand for our products.

Loss Of Key Personnel Could Have Significant Adverse Consequences.

We currently depend on the services of Steve Z. 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 and financial conditions.

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 27,000 shares were traded on an average daily trading basis for the 12 months ended December 31, 2008.  If limited trading in our common stock continues, it may be difficult for stockholders 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.
 
5

 
The Limited Public Trading Market May Cause Volatility In The Company's Stock Price.
 
The Company’s common stock is currently traded 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
·
Such 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.

We 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 43,255,441 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the date of this report, 27,408,823 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 S-1 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”), declared effective on October 10, 2008 and (2) shares originally issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
 
The remaining 15,846,618 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 9,035,294 shares held by Summit and Steven Strasser in the aggregate, and 1,318,000 shares held by directors and insiders.

In addition, the Company had approximately 30,629,780 common stock purchase warrants outstanding and approximately 15,579,896 common stock options outstanding as of the date of this report, including the warrants issued in connection with the private offer and sale of preferred stock units in 2007 (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 prospectus, 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 15,579,896 shares are outstanding. The outstanding options under the 2000 Plan have a weighted average exercise price of $0.37. As of the date of this report, we have issued warrants exercisable for 30,629,780 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 July 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.

Our 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).

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders. If and when the warrants held by Selling Stockholders are exercised, we will receive the proceeds from the exercise of those warrants. If all of these warrants are exercised in full, we will receive approximately $11,000,000, which we intend to use for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
 
We anticipate we will need at least $250,000 to $300,000 per month to continue our current operations, not including non-cash expenses and payments to certain creditors, including accrued expenses. As discussed in "Risk Factors" above, we will need to make payments toward accrued liabilities out of our cash flow for the foreseeable future. Overall, our satisfaction of our cash requirements depends on our ability to raise money from external financing sources and to generate future sales.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion includes forward-looking information that involves risks and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from management's expectations. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" on page 7 of this prospectus.

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 patented MEC line of motor controllers in late 1995. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had total stockholders’ equity of $1,808,419 primarily due to (i) the Company’s sale of 140,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in a private offering from October of 2007 through January of 2008, (ii) the Company’s sale of 12,950,016 shares of common stock in a private stock offering from November of 2006 through March of 2007, (iii) the Company’s sale of 14,500,000 shares of common stock in a private stock offering in July and August of 2005, (iv) 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 (v) 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.  All of the Company’s Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into the Company’s common stock in 2005.

Because of the nature of our business, the Company makes significant investments in research and development for new products and enhancements to existing products.  Historically, the Company has funded its research and development efforts through cash flow primarily generated from debt and equity financings.  Management anticipates that future expenditures in research and development will continue at current levels.

The Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were marked by a significant decrease in revenues and an increase in its loss from operations that are more fully discussed in the following section “Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008”.  Sales cycles for our products are generally lengthy and can range from less than a month to well over one year, depending on customer profile.  Larger original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) deals and sales to larger end users generally take a longer period of time, whereas sales through channel partners may be closed within a few weeks.  Because of the complexity of this sales process, a number of factors that are beyond the control of the Company can delay the closing of transactions.

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $47,000 compared to $134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $90,000 or 67%. This decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in sales in the elevator and escalator market in the first quarter of 2009.  Specifically, escalator manufacturer and service provider sales fell to approximately $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $127,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  Sales of the analog product to one escalator manufacturer and service provider, which is one of the Company’s largest customers, slowed during this period in anticipation of release of their private label version of our digital product.  The digital product is being tested and evaluated for use on a retrofit and OEM basis by this customer.  The digital product offers greater features and functionality compared to the analog product, making it more attractive as an OEM product.  For the three months ended March 31, 2009, industrial and other sales, of which all but one order consisted of digital units, was approximately 24% of total sales, and escalator and elevator sales, which consisted of a mix of digital units and analog units, were approximately 76% of total sales.

COST OF REVENUES
 
Total cost of revenues, which includes material and direct labor and overhead for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $29,000 compared to approximately $98,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $69,000 or 70%.  This decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in sales in the elevator and escalator market in the first quarter of 2009.  As a percentage of revenue, total cost of sales decreased to approximately 61% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to approximately 73% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in the costs as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the Company increasing its prices on certain units, which resulted in higher margins during the first quarter of 2009, and an increase in the sale of digital units, which have higher average margins than analog units.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $18,000 compared to approximately $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $18,000 or 50%.  This decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in sales in the elevator and escalator market in the first quarter of 2009.  As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to approximately 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to approximately 27% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
 
OPERATING EXPENSES
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses were approximately $247,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to approximately $161,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $86,000 or 53%.  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, as well as new product testing and certification expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,057,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $790,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $267,000 or 34%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses compared to the prior year was primarily due to the Company’s adoption of SFAS 157 and EITF 07-5, which resulted in the Company recording an additional non cash loss of $485,919 during the three months ending March 31, 2009.  No such expenses were recorded during the three months ending March 31, 2008.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in costs related to SFAS 123R.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company is a going concern, which assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company suffered recurring losses from operations, and a recurring deficiency of cash from operations, including a cash deficiency of approximately $892,000 from operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  While management believes that the Company has adequate liquidity at March 31, 2009, 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 in the long-term and raising additional capital to support existing operations for at least the next twelve months.  Management's plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers.

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of its equity securities, debt securities and using available bank lines of credit. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $1,201,903.

Cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $891,634, which consisted of a net loss of $1,296,341; less depreciation and amortization of $19,315, warrants and options issued to employees and consultants of $83,399, warrants issued to investors of $485,919, and a decrease in accounts receivable of $18,017, offset by increases in inventory of $114,053, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $68,147, and decreases in provision for bad debt of $11,342, accounts payable of $7,459 and deferred rent of $942.

Cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $807,405, which consisted of a net loss of $888,156; less depreciation and amortization of $14,847, warrants and options issued to employees and consultants of $207,000 and a decrease in deposits of $41,430, offset by increases in accounts receivable of $19,780, inventory of $1,679, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $72,481, and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $86,981 and customer deposits of $1,605.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $6,476, compared to $48,425 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The total amount for the first quarter of 2009 consisted of the purchase of property and equipment.  The amount for the first quarter of 2008 consisted of the purchase of property and equipment of $35,764, and capitalized costs related to patent applications of $12,661.

There was no cash provided by or used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $280,000, which consisted solely of proceeds from the issuance of equity securities.
 
The Company expects to experience growth in its operating expenses, particularly in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, for the foreseeable future in order to execute its business strategy. As a result, the Company anticipates that operating expenses will constitute a material use of any cash resources.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008, were approximately $481,000 compared to approximately $491,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $10,000 or 2%.  This decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in sales in the elevator and escalator market segment in 2008.  Specifically, escalator manufacturer and service provider sales fell to approximately $363,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $466,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Sales of the analog product to one escalator manufacturer and service provider, which is one of the Company’s largest customers, slowed during this period in anticipation of release of their private label version of our digital product.  The digital product is being tested and evaluated for use on a retrofit and OEM basis by this customer.  The digital product offers greater features and functionality compared to the analog product, making it more attractive as an OEM product.  The decrease in sales to the escalator segment was partially offset by an increase in sales to industrial and other customers, which totaled approximately $117,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $24,000 for the year ending December 31, 2007.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, industrial and other sales, which entirely consisted of digital units, was approximately 21% of total sales, and escalator and elevator sales, which consisted almost entirely of analog units, was approximately 79% of total sales.

COST OF REVENUES
 
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were approximately $398,000 compared to approximately $340,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $58,000, or 17%.  As a percentage of revenues, total costs of sales increased to approximately 82% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately 69% for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The increase in the costs as a percentage of revenues was primarily due the Company’s replacement of 40 Platform E MECs with more feature rich and expensive Platform 1 MECs for no additional charge to the customer.  This transaction added approximately $22,000 to the Company’s cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2008.  All of the Platform E MECs returned to the Company were not installed, and in good working condition.  However, with the release of the new digital line of MECs, the Company determined that the Platform E units that were returned were obsolete, and therefore did not record the units back into inventory.  Furthermore, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company also wrote off the remaining Platform E components, as well as many components that were for analog use only, held in its inventory.  In total, the Company recorded a direct write off of inventory of approximately $41,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.   Excluding the direct write off of inventory of $41,000 and the $22,000 charge from replacing Platform E units with Platform 1 units, the Company’s cost of sales was approximately $335,000, or 70% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Allocated overhead costs were approximately $25,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $20,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $5,000 or 25%.  As a percentage of revenues, allocated overhead costs were 5% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 4% for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Allocated overhead costs as a percentage of sales increased due to the Company developing in-house light manufacturing and warehousing capabilities in December of 2007.
  
Total manufacturing cost of sales, which includes material and direct labor and overhead for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were approximately $255,000 compared to approximately $188,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $67,000 or 36%. As a percentage of sales, total cost of sales increased to approximately 86% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to approximately 71% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the costs as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the Company’s replacement of 40 Platform E MECs with Platform 1 MECs, as well as the inventory obsolescence charges, as described above.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $83,000 compared to approximately $150,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $67,000 or 45%.  This decrease was primarily due to the factors described above.

OPERATING EXPENSES
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses were $1,016,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to approximately $668,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $348,000 or 52%. 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.  Specifically, the increased costs include additional personnel in the Company’s research and development department, which resulted in higher salaries and related payroll costs during the year ended December 31, 2008, as well as new product testing and certification expenses.  These increased costs were partially offset by a decrease in stock based compensation expenses during the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $3,033,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to approximately $2,721,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $312,000 or 11%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses compared to the prior year was primarily due to an increase in payroll, and payroll related costs, as well as increases in sales travel expenses, marketing, tradeshows and advertising expenses, and sales related legal and consulting expenses.  The increases in payroll expenses were due to the growth of the Company’s sales personnel.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources: For the Year Ended December 31, 2008

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company is a going concern, which assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company suffered recurring losses from operations, and a recurring deficiency of cash from operations, including a cash deficiency of approximately $892,000 from operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  While management belives that the Company appears to have adequate liquidity at March 31, 2009, there can be no assurances that such liquidity will remain sufficient.
 
13

 
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.  Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations in the long-term and raising additional capital to support existing operations for at least the next twelve months.  Management's plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers.

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 $2.5 to $3 million will be required to cover operating expenses, including, but not limited to, the development of the Company’s next generation products, marketing, sales and operations during the next twelve months.  Although we currently have several 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 may 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.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
See below and “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Financial Statements for an explanation of recent accounting pronouncements impacting the Company.

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 to, the discontinuation of a product line or re-engineering certain components making certain parts obsolete.  Management has determined a reserve for inventory obsolescence is not necessary at March 31, 2009 or 2008.

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.

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.

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.

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 $83,000 and $207,000 in additional compensation expense during the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Such amounts are included in research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expense on the statement of operations.
 
14

 
Product Warranties:
 
The Company typically 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.

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.  Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. 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.

The provision for taxes represents state franchise taxes, interest and penalties.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on our operating results or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R, among other things, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired (including intangibles), the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. Additionally, SFAS No. 141R requires that all transaction costs will be expensed as incurred and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition to the amendments to ARB 51, this Statement amends SFAS 128, Earnings per Share; so that earnings-per-share data will continue to be calculated the same way those data were calculated before this Statement was issued. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS 160 to any noncontrolling interests acquired after the effective date.
 
15

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Under SFAS No. 161, entities are required to provide enhanced disclosure related to (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”), and its related interpretations; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 must be applied prospectively to all derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 for all financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS
 
General Background
 
We design, develop and market energy efficiency technologies and products for electric motors. Until recently these products were called the “Power Genius™”. We recently re-branded the product as the "MEC". Our new digital technology is called “ E-SAVE Technology®”. Our products reduce the amount of power consumed by lightly loaded alternating current induction motors that operate at a constant speed. Utilizing patented improvements upon NASA-developed motor diagnostic technologies, our products provide energy cost savings to the user of as much as 35%. We market our products directly under the brand name MEC, and through other companies under names such as Power Commander® and EcoStart™. These companies include the leading elevator/escalator manufacturers in the world, such as Otis Elevator Co (a division of United Technologies) and KONE, Inc.
 
Description of Business
 
(a)           Business Development
 
Formation
 
Power Efficiency Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on October 19, 1994. From inception through 1997, the Company was a development stage entity engaged in the design, development, marketing and sale of proprietary solid state electrical components designed to reduce energy consumption in alternating current induction motors.
 
(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 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 three 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 a registered trademark on this name.

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

We believe the MEC is unique, in part, because of its energy savings capabilities. The product reduces energy consumption in 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 temperatures.

 
17

 

·
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, Sacramento Municipal Utility District 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 representatives 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 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;


 
18

 

 
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, independent reps and with OEMs. The Company is currently focused on penetrating markets through direct sales. Once 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, other resellers engaged and independent sales reps 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, UL 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 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.

 
19

 

Premium Efficiency Motors.  Motors are rated by their efficiency at full load. However, when motors, including “premium efficiency motors” are lightly loaded, they become very inefficient. Management believes that the energy savings gain attributable to premium 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 premium 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, in 2008, four customers accounted for approximately 82% of the Company’s gross revenues.   These customers and their respective gross revenue percentages are KONE – 60%; Berry Plastics – 10%; CED Elevator – 6%; and The Las Vegas Conventions and Visitors Authority – 6%.  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, 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 three utility patents on new inventions associated with the development of its digital products.  The Company is continually making improvements to its products and technologies, and anticipates making additional patent filings on new inventions when warranted.

The Company has obtained U.S. Trademark registration of the Power Commander® mark and the E-Save Technology® mark.

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.
 
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 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.

 
20

 

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 $1,016,158 and $667,786 in fiscal years 2008 and 2007, 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 improvements and adding more features and functionality to the Company’s three phase and single phase products. 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.  Of this number, two are engaged in accounting and finance, three in operations and general management, five in sales and marketing, and eight 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 engineering, 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.
 
(c)           Reports to Security Holders

The Company is a smaller reporting company, and as such files Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under the scaled disclosure requirements and Current Reports on Form 8-K on a regular basis with the SEC.

Director Independence

Although our securities are not currently quoted on American Stock Exchange, for purposes of assessing director independence, the Board of Directors uses the definition of “independence” contained in current Section 121(A) of the NYSE Amex Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) Constitution and Rules. Our board has reviewed all relationships between the Company and members of the board and affirmatively has determined that all directors are independent except Messrs. Strasser, Lackland, and Curhan, who are employed by, or consultants to, the Company. In addition, each of the members of the audit committee meets the heightened criteria for independence applicable to members of audit committees under AMEX listing standards.

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 March 31, 2009, we had an aggregate of 15,579,896 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 March 31, 2009, 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 15,579,896 options outstanding under the 2000 Plan as of March 31, 2009.
 
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.

 
26

 

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 2008, 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.  The remaining members of the audit committee receive an additional 25,000, prorated for the quarters in the year they served.  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.

 
27

 

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.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The following table provides certain information with respect to the selling stockholders' beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 25, 2009 and as adjusted to give effect to the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. We do not know when or in what amounts the selling stockholders may offer for sale the shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may choose not to sell any of the shares offered by this prospectus. For purposes of this table, we have assumed the selling stockholders will have sold all of the shares covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder and the percentage of ownership of that selling stockholder, shares of common stock underlying outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, convertible debentures, options or warrants held by that selling stockholder that are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, within 60 days from the date of this prospectus are included. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other selling stockholder. Each selling stockholder's percentage of ownership in the following table is based upon 40,255,441 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 25, 2009. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders.
 
Except as noted below, none of these selling stockholders are, or are affiliates of, a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act.
 
Except as described below, to our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders within the past three years has had any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates:

Common Stock
 
We are authorized to issue up to 140,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 25, 2009 there were 43,255,441 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Each holder of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock will be entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of our common stock will have the ability to elect all of our directors.
 
Holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends payable in cash, property or shares of our capital stock, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. We do not currently expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock. Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, any assets remaining after prior payment in full of all of our liabilities and after prior payment in full of the liquidation preference of any preferred stock would be paid ratably to holders of our common stock.

As of the date hereof, there are, and following this offering there will be, 30,628,780 warrants outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $0.110 to $2.17 with expiration dates ranging from October 26, 2009 through May 13, 2014.
 
Certain of the warrants have net exercise provisions under which their respective holders may, in lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, surrender the warrant and receive a net amount of shares based on the fair market value of our common stock after deduction of the aggregate exercise price. These warrants also contain provisions for the adjustment of the exercise price and the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganization, reclassifications and consolidations.

Preferred Stock
 
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share. As of June 19 2009, 140,000 shares of preferred stock have been designated as Series B Preferred and all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.
 
The Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting, and is entitled to dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, payable in cash or common stock only when, or if, declared by our Board of Directors.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 100 shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the stockholder. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are automatically converted into common stock in the event the average closing price of the common stock for any ten day period equals or exceeds $1.00 per share.
 
The Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock provides that in the event we issue stock in connection with a dividend, distribution, classification, merger or consolidation of the number of shares of common stock that the Series B Stock is convertible into will be adjusted accordingly.
 
In the event of any dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid pari passu with any other series of preferred stock equal to the Series B Preferred Stock.
 
Registration Rights
 
Pursuant to the offering which terminated on January 21, 2008, we are obligated to (i) use reasonable best efforts to register by March 21, 2008, the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock and warrants in a registration statement to be filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) use our best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission by May 20, 2008 and to remain effective without any lapse of 30 or more consecutive days.
 
Certain Statutory and Charter Provisions Relating to a Change of Control
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, this provision prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder.
 
A “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person, other than the corporation and any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the corporation, who together with the affiliates and associates, owns or, as an affiliate or associate, within three years prior, did own 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock.
 
This prohibition is lifted if:
 
 
·
prior to such date, the corporation's Board of Directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
     
 
·
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in such person becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, shares owned by certain directors or certain employee stock plans; or
     
 
·
on or after the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the corporation's Board of Directors and authorized by the affirmative vote, and not by written consent, of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation excluding that owned by the interested stockholder.
 
Section 203 expressly exempts from the requirements described above any business combination by a corporation with an interested stockholder who becomes an interested stockholder in a transaction approved by the corporation's Board of Directors.
 
Rule 144
 
Of the 43,255,441 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the date of this report, 27,408,823 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 S-1 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”), declared effective on October 10, 2008 and (2) shares originally issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
 
The remaining 15,846,618 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 9,035,294 shares held by Summit and Steven Strasser in the aggregate, and 1,318,000 shares held by directors and insiders.

In addition, the Company had approximately 30,629,780 common stock purchase warrants outstanding and approximately 15,579,896 common stock options outstanding as of the date of this report, including the warrants issued in connection with the private offer and sale of preferred stock units in 2007 (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.

 
43

 

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.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
The transfer agent for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer and Trust, located at 17 Battery Place, New York, New York, 10004.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
 
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.
 
All of the shares of our common stock included in this prospectus are for sale by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus which are already owned by them, or which are to be issued to them upon their conversion of shares of our convertible preferred stock. We will receive cash proceeds from the issuance of shares to selling stockholders on exercise of options or warrants, but not from the resale of any such shares.
 
The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
     
 
·
settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;
     
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
     
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale;
     
 
·
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or
     
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling stockholder intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this Prospectus through a member of the NASD participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of the NASD and disclosing to the NASD the following:
 
 
·
it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of such certificates;
     
 
·
the complete details of how the selling stockholders shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts;
     
 
·
whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the selling stockholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and
     
 
·
in the event any of the securities offered by the selling stockholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any selling stockholder in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a member firm of the NASD or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of the NASD for review.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Each selling stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 
45

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may, after the date of this prospectus, also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholders has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute our common stock. If any of the selling stockholders enter into an agreement with an underwriter to do a firm commitment offering of the shares of our common stock offered by such selling stockholder through this prospectus, if we are aware of such underwriting agreement we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part setting forth the material terms of such underwriting agreement. The selling stockholder may not sell any of the shares in such firm underwriting until such post-effective amendment becomes effective.
 
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.
 
The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
 
We do not know whether any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
 
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus including SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws, except that the selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and selling commissions for the sale of their shares. We expect that our expenses for this offering, consisting primarily of legal, accounting and printing expenses, will be approximately $59,201.
 
We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with registration rights and other agreements entered into by us with the selling stockholders, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution.
 
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, by any of the selling stockholders, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

LEGAL MATTERS
 
Certain legal matters will be passed upon for us by Ellenoff, Grossman & Schole LLP, New York, New York.
 
EXPERTS
 
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included in this Prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report (which contains an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as described in Note 3 to the financial statements) of Sobel & Co., LLC, independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
On April 23, 2009, we dismissed Sobel & Co., LLC (“Sobel”) as our independent registered public accounting firm.  Our audit committee approved the termination of Sobel.

Sobel’s audit report dated March 30, 2009 (which was included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008) on our consolidated financial statements as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except the audit report contained a separate paragraph stating:

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.

During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through April 23, 2009, there were no disagreements with Sobel on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreement, if not resolved to Sobel’s satisfaction, would have caused Sobel to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. There were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through April 23, 2009.

We provided Sobel with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested Sobel to furnish us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.  Such letter states Sobel’s agreement with the foregoing statements.
 
(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
  
On April 27, 2009, our audit committee approved the engagement of BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm. We have not consulted with BDO during our two most recent fiscal years or during the subsequent interim period through April 27, 2009 regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or as to any disagreement or reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

POWER EFFICIENCY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008

 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without an audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the condensed financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2008 on Form 10-K and Form S-1.
 
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
NOTE 2 - 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 suffered recurring losses from operations, and a recurring deficiency of cash from operations, including a cash deficiency of approximately $892,000 from operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  While management believes that the Company appears to have adequate liquidity at March 31, 2009, 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.  Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations in the long-term and raising additional capital to support existing operations for at least the next twelve months.  Management's plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers.  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.
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as disclosed in Note 10 below, there were no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 of the Company’s financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008


New Accounting Pronouncements:
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on our operating results or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R, among other things, establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer entity recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired (including intangibles), the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. Additionally, SFAS No. 141R requires that all transaction costs will be expensed as incurred and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R had no impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition to the amendments to ARB 51, this Statement amends SFAS 128, Earnings per Share; so that earnings-per-share data will continue to be calculated the same way those data were calculated before this Statement was issued. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS 160 to any noncontrolling interests acquired after the effective date.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures related to derivative and hedging activities and thereby seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Under SFAS No. 161, entities are required to provide enhanced disclosure related to (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”), and its related interpretations; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 must be applied prospectively to all derivative instruments and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133 for all financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

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 to, the discontinuation of a product line or re-engineering certain components making certain parts obsolete.  Management has determined a reserve for inventory obsolescence is not necessary at March 31, 2009 or 2008.

Inventories are comprised as follows:

   
March 31,
2009
 
Raw materials
  $ 167,601  
Finished Goods
    192,472  
Inventories
  $ 360,073  

NOTE 5 – 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 2008 and 2007 utilizing a two-step test.  An annual goodwill impairment test is performed by management in addition to quarterly goodwill impairment analyses.

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 on 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 March 31, 2009, on the Company’s single reporting unit.  As of March 31, 2009, the Company’s market cap was $12,967,632, and the Company’s book value was $1,575,086.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s market cap was $8,651,088, and the Company’s book value was $4,046,747.  Based on this, management concluded that no impairment exists as of March 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008


Circumstances may arise in which the Company will perform an impairment test in addition to its annual and quarterly analyses.  An example of one of these circumstances would be a sudden sharp drop in the Company’s stock price not as a result of market conditions.

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company accounts for its earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No.128, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as stock options, to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, warrants and options to purchase 45,334,676 shares of common stock at per share exercise prices ranging from $0.11 to $19.25 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, warrants and options to purchase 44,114,864 shares of common stock at per share exercise prices ranging from $0.11 to $19.25 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At March 31, 2009, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans.  Readers should refer to Note 12 of the Company’s financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, for additional information related to these stock-based compensation plans. There were 360,000 warrants and 1,400,000 options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The fair value of these warrants and options was approximately $36,000 and $241,000 at issuance, respectively.  There were 280,000 warrants and 600,000 options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The fair value of these warrants and options was approximately $90,000 and $155,000 at issuance, respectively.  No stock options were exercised in the periods ending March 31, 2009 and 2008.  The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with FASB Statement 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Compensation costs related to share-based payments recognized in the Condensed Statements of Income were $83,339 and $207,000 for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 9 – MATERIAL AGREEMENTS

In 2007, the Company entered into a manufacturing service agreement with Sanmina-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 Sanmina-Sci equal to an initial firm order agreed upon by the Company and Sanmina-Sci and subsequent nine-month requirements forecasts.  The initial term of the contract was one year, and upon expiration of the initial term, the contract continues 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.

On March 11, 2009, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with one of the Company’s directors, Greg Curhan.  The agreement is for a term of 12 months and calls for Mr. Curhan to provide investment and marketing related services for the Company.  Mr. Curhan will receive $3,000 per month and 360,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.11 per share, under the terms of this agreement.  The warrants vest equally over the term of the agreement.

NOTE 10 – WARRANT LIABILITY

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.  The Company determined that some of its warrants contained an anti-dilution provision.  As a result, the Company reclassified 5,696,591 of its common stock warrants to warrant liability, under long term liabilities, and resulting in a cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2009 of $225,585.

The Company accounts for its warrant liability in accordance with SFAS 157.  SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

The Company has valued its warrant liability using a Black-Scholes model (Level 3 inputs) containing the following assumptions:  volatility 295%, risk-free rate 1.43%, term 15 months.  The Company recorded a non-cash loss related to these warrants of $485,919 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, which was expensed and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The following reconciles the warrant liability for the three months ended March 31, 2009:

Beginning balance, January 1, 2009
  $ 1,025,386  
Unrealized loss on derivative liability
    485,919  
Ending balance, March 31, 2009
  $ 1,511,305  

NOTE 11 – 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 Company has evaluated the net deferred tax asset taking into consideration operating results and determined that a full valuation allowance should be maintained.

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.  Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Power Efficiency Corporation
Las Vegas, Nevada

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Power Efficiency Corporation, (a Delaware corporation) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.  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, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 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, 2008 AND 2007

 

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. Management has determined a reserve for inventory obsolescence is not necessary at December 31, 2008 or 2007.

As of December 31, inventories are comprised as follows:

   
2008
   
2007
 
Raw materials
  $ 178,698     $ 131,762  
Finished Goods
    67,322       -  
Inventories

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.

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.

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 $766,000 and $655,000 in additional compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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.

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. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. 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.

The provision for taxes represents state franchise taxes, interest and penalties.

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:

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition to the amendments to ARB 51, this Statement amends SFAS 128, Earnings per Share; so that earnings-per-share data will continue to be calculated the same way those data were calculated before this Statement was issued. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS 160 to any noncontrolling interests acquired after the effective date.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 161). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for our consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning with our quarter ended March 31, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any; the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets" (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning with our quarter ended March 31, 2009, and will be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. FSP FAS 142-3 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to the effective date. The impact of FSP FAS 142-3 will depend on the size and nature of acquisitions on or after January 1, 2009.

Financial Statement Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 financial statements in order for them to conform to the 2008 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 $3,102,847 deficiency of cash from operations in 2008. While the Company appears to have adequate liquidity at December 31, 2008, 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.


 NOTE 4 - PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS:

As of December 31, prepaid expenses and other current assets are comprised as follows:

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 2008 and 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, 2008, on the Company’s single reporting unit.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s fair market value was $8,651,088, and the Company’s book value was $4,046,747.  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, 2008 and 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 not as a result of market conditions.


 NOTE 7 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Intangible assets subject to amortization consists of the following for the years ended December 31:

Amortization expense in 2008 and 2007 amounted to $2,542 and $992, respectively.

During 2008 and 2007, the Company capitalized approximately $28,000 and $7,000 in expenses related to patent filings, respectively.  The Company will begin amortizing these costs over the life of the patent, once the patent is approved by the appropriate authorities.

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 2007, the Company also expense and included in research and development expenses, $5,492 related to warrants which vested during 2007.  These warrants were issued in 2006 as consulting fees to a technical consultant.

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.

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.

The Company is currently involved in a lawsuit against two of its former directors, who were also employees of the Company, and the company the two former directors formed (collectively, the “Defendants”).  The Company filed this action against the Defendants for misappropriation of trade secrets, false advertising, defamation/libel and other claims primarily arising from the Defendant’s use of the Company’s confidential and proprietary information in the development and marketing of motor control products.  The Company seeks a temporary retraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction, damages, exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees and costs against the Defendants.  The Company’s original complaint was filed on November 25, 2008, and its amended complaint was filed on January 5, 2009, in the U.S. District Court, District of Nevada.

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 2007, the Company utilized one subcontractor in Nevada as turn-key manufacturers for its analog product.  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.

PART II
 
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of the directors of the Company 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 the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the liability of a director for (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) acts or omissions in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases; or (4) any transaction from which such director derives an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders 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 (1) through (4) above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect the ability of the Company or its stockholders to seek nonmonetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty.
 
In addition, the certificate of incorporation provides that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL. In general, Section 145 of the DGCL permits the Company to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or, when so serving at the Company's request, another company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceedings because of his or her position, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
The Company maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by any director or officer in connection with the performance of his or her duties and certain liabilities that may be incurred by the Company, including the indemnification payable to any director or officer. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by the Company.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.
 
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
