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 when we speak of ourselves generally, we are referring to Power Efficiency Corporation unless the context indicates otherwise or as otherwise noted.


THE COMPANY

Our Business

        Power Efficiency's management believes companies that provide solutions to the energy shortage facing the world are well positioned to achieve returns substantially higher than the overall market. Issues driving the energy shortage include growth in worldwide electricity demand, high oil and gas prices, and reliance on an outdated power infrastructure, as demonstrated by the August 14, 2003, power blackout in the eastern U.S. The demand for products that reduce energy consumption is growing rapidly. Government mandates to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions caused by power plants are further driving energy conservation.

        Our solution reduces energy costs in specific commercial applications, utilizing patented improvements upon National Aeronautics Space Administration ("NASA") developed motor controller technologies. Our products are solid-state AC motor controllers, called Performance Controllers, which reduce the amount of power consumed by alternating current induction motors operating at constant speeds and under variable loads. In more simple terms, the Performance Controller 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 from 15% to over 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.

        There are over a billion AC motors in operation in the U.S. alone. The world market is several times larger. The customer for the Performance Controller will typically be 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 an extremely large market, including target sectors such as elevators, escalators, granulators, oil pump jacks, conveyors and other industrial applications.

        Our management believes that no other company produces a product that has the efficiency of the Performance Controller. The efficiency of the Performance Controller has been tested by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Medsker Electric, Inc., independent third parties, with positive results.

        We market our products directly under brand names such as Power Commander® and Performance Controller, and through other companies under distribution agreements utilizing names such as EcoStart. These companies include the leading elevator and escalator manufactures in the world, such as Otis Elevator Co. (a subsidiary of United Technologies, Inc.) and KONE Inc. The product has achieved technical acceptance in the elevator and escalator industries, which demonstrates its ability to meet demanding reliability standards.

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

Highlights

        Demonstrated Energy Savings—More than 3,500 units of our products have been installed at facilities throughout the U.S. These installed units have demonstrated the ability to reduce the energy consumption of AC induction motors, in most cases by 15% to 35%.

        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.

        Extensive Engineering—Over the last eight years, we have developed a deep understanding of the real-world environment for our products. Our products incorporate substantial trade secret and engineering know-how, which enable them to operate effectively over a broad range of conditions.

        Large Potential Market—The United States consumes over $200 billion of electricity annually. The Consortium for Energy Efficiency estimates that motor driven systems consume 23% of all electricity in the U.S. More specifically, Kema, a well known international energy consulting firm, estimates that motors account for 59% of all the electricity used in manufacturing. Based on our experience, 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, oil pump jacks, crushing machines, saw mills, stamping presses, and other manufacturing equipment.

        New Products—We have developed and tested several platforms of the present technology that support large potential applications.

        Limited Competition—We are not aware of any products on the market today that have been certified by CE, CSA and UL and offer the same energy-saving and soft start characteristics as our products.

        International Distribution—International distribution is important to our success because energy costs are much higher abroad than domestically.

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

        Our address is 3900 Paradise Road, Suite 283, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, 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 24,711,895 shares issued or to be issued (the "Securities") to the selling stockholders within 60 days of September 30, 2005. The full name, address and control persons of the selling stockholders are set forth beginning on page 41 of this prospectus.

THE OFFERING

        In June, July and August of 2005, we conducted a private offering of our Common Stock and Placement Warrants, defined below, for the issuance of our Common Stock (the "Placement Securities"). 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 Unit consists of (a) a number of shares of Common Stock which is determined by dividing $50,000 by a price equal to 50% of the 5-day average of the closing bid price of the shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the last trading day immediately prior to the closing of the Placement, with a floor on the purchase price of $0.20 and a ceiling on the purchase price of $0.325; and (b) a warrant (each a "Placement Warrant" and, collectively, the "Placement Warrants") to purchase prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary following the closing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock included within each Unit, at a price which is equal to 200% of the 5-day average of the closing sales price of the shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulleting Board prior to the closing, per share of Common Stock. The Placement closed on August 31, 2005 and resulted in gross proceeds of $2,900,000. The Placement requires us (a) to file this Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission") within 60 days following the final closing of the offering and (b) to use our reasonable best efforts to have such declared effective within 120 days from the final closing of the offering. As part of this Registration Statement, and Placement Securities stemming from the Placement, we are registering 11,500,000 of shares of our Common Stock and 8,350,001 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Placement Warrants.


STOCK OPTIONS

        As of September 30, 2005, a total of 66,232 shares of Common Stock option grants have been issued under the 1994 Plan. The 1994 Plan was adopted by our board of directors and our stockholders in 1994, however, at that time no Form S-8 was filed. As part of this Registration Statement we are registering 66,232 shares of Common Stock stemming directly from the 1994 Plan.

        As of September 30, 2005, a total of 8,267,489 shares of Common Stock option grants have been issued under the 2000 Plan. The 2000 Plan was adopted by our board of directors and our stockholders in 2000, however, at that time no Form S-8 was filed. As part of this Registration Statement we are registering 9,787,500 shares of Common Stock stemming directly from the 2000 Plan.


RISK FACTORS

        An investment in our company 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 invest in our company. 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, We May Not Be Able To Continue Operations, And Our Auditors Have Questioned Our Ability To Continue As A "Going Concern".

        We have suffered recurring losses from operations, experienced approximately a $1,400,000 deficiency of cash from operations in 2004 and lack sufficient liquidity to continue our operations without external financing. For the year ended December 31, 2003, we had a net loss of $3,016,717. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we had a net loss of $2,465,631. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we had a net loss of $381,616, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, we had a net loss of $993,123 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we had a net loss of $1,760,850.

        In Note 3 to our December 31, 2004 financial statements included in this prospectus, 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.

        Our continuation as a "going concern" is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and related positive cash flow and satisfying our immediate cash needs by external financing until we are profitable. Our plans to achieve profitability include developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers. We are seeking to raise additional capital through equity issuance, debt financing and other types of financing, but we cannot guarantee that sufficient capital will be raised. In that regard, we have granted the holders of our Senior Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,589,806 a first priority security interest in substantially all our assets, except that we may grant a first priority security interest senior to the Senior Secured Noteholders in our accounts receivable and inventory in order to obtain a line of credit in the ordinary course of business.

We Have A Limited Operating History, Have Experienced Recurring Losses And Have 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, 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 that we will ever operate profitably. We have limited revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2003, our total revenues were $397,673. For the year ended December 31, 2004, our total revenues were $284,373. For the first, second and third quarter ended September 30, 2005, our total revenues were $221,737.

Our Present Cash Flow Is Not Adequate To Pay Accrued Liabilities.

        We had accrued payables, salaries and expenses totaling approximately $525,000 as of September 30, 2005. Approximately $130,000 of these accrued liabilities represents disputed claims, which we expect to partially pay, settle for equity, or dispute entirely. We expect to resolve an additional $110,000 of these accrued liabilities by exchanging them for equity or deferring all payments until we are cash flow positive. We estimate we will need to pay approximately $165,000 toward accrued liabilities, including old trade payables and payments of interest and principal on existing notes, from October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006, and we intend to use a portion of the proceeds of the Placement for that purpose. The remainder of the accrued payables, salaries and expenses are primarily current trade payables and reserves. However, these figures are only estimates and because we may not

4



be able to negotiate successfully with creditors, creditor claims may cause a restriction in the amount of funds available for our operations.

Our Principal Obligations On Long-Term Debt Total $1,633,724, And This Indebtedness Is Subject To Acceleration.

        In addition to the accrued payables, salaries and expenses described immediately above, as of September 30, 2005, we had $1,633,724 in aggregate principal amount of long-term debt outstanding. The specific components of this indebtedness are as follows:

        We owe $1,589,806 in Senior Secured Notes. They mature in October 2006 ($1,464,806 in principal amount) and February 2007 ($125,000 in principal amount), bear interest at 15% (paid from funds we have placed in escrow) and are secured by a first lien on substantially all our assets. The entire balance of these notes will become due and payable if we cannot pay any past due amount within 7 days of a written notice that payment is in default. As of September 30, 2005, we do not have any past due payments on these Senior Secured Notes.

        We owe Stephen Shulman, a former officer, $30,648. The entire principal balance of this note will be due and payable if we cannot pay any past due amount within 10 days of a written notice that the payment is in default. As of September 30, 2005, we do not have any past due payments on this note.

        We owe Richard Koch, a former officer, $13,270. The entire principal balance of this note will be due and payable if we cannot pay any past due amount within 7 days of a written notice that the payment is in default. As of September 30, 2005, we do not have any past due payments on this note.

        We owe our former landlord in Livonia, Michigan $50,000 payable in 18 monthly installments of $2,778 per month, commencing November 17, 2005 and ending April 17, 2007, in settlement of our lease dispute litigation. We do not have any past due payments on this settlement.

        On June 30, 2005, we owed Summit, a related party, $300,000. The entire principal balance of this note was converted into 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock and 750,000 Common Stock warrants in connection with the Placement.

We Do Not Have A Bank Line Of Credit And Substantially All Our Assets Are Pledged.

        At the present time, we do not have a bank line of credit. The absence of a line of credit further restricts our financial flexibility and it is unlikely we will be able to obtain a line of credit in the foreseeable future. As noted above, substantially all our assets are subject to existing liens, although we may grant a senior security interest in our accounts receivable and inventory to obtain a line of credit in the ordinary course of business.

We Will Require Additional Funds To Meet Our Cash Operating Expenses And Achieve Our Current Business Strategy.

        We continue to have limited working capital and will be dependent upon additional financing to meet our capital needs and repay outstanding debt. We cannot guarantee that any 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 $150,000 to $175,000 per month, not counting payments to certain creditors, including accrued salaries and expenses, and may increase in the near-term future. We may need to issue additional equity to raise required funds, and as a result existing equity owners would be diluted.

        It is anticipated that the net proceeds of $2,232,750 from the Placement will last for up 15 months. When our operations require additional financing, if we are unable to obtain it on reasonable terms, we

5



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 our Common Stock.

Our 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.

        Prior to the issuance of shares pursuant to the Placement, our management owned 40% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and voting equivalents. Now, after the conversion of the Series A-1 Stock and further investment by management in this offering, management will own approximately 29% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and voting equivalents. As a result, these persons will have the ability, acting as a group, to effectively control our affairs and business, including the election of directors and subject to certain limitations, approval or preclusion of fundamental corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership of our Common Stock may:

Certain Of Our Management Team Have Relationships Which May Potentially Result In Conflicts Of Interests.

        Summit owns twenty-nine percent (29%) of our Common Stock and voting equivalents. 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 COO and CFO. In addition, we sublease space and obtain office services at market rates from Northwest Power Management, Inc., which is wholly-owned by Mr. Strasser. These relationships are discussed in more detail under "Certain Relationships And Related Party Transactions" herein. As a condition to the closing of the Placement, all of the holders of our Series A-1 Stock, which includes Summit, agreed to convert their shares of Series A-1 Stock into shares of Common Stock. After such conversion and this offering, Summit owns twenty-nine percent (29%) of our Common Stock and voting equivalents.

Our License From NASA Has Expired.

        The basic technology upon which our products are based is derived from a patent license agreement by and between us and NASA, which expired on December 16, 2002. The license expired upon expiration of NASA's underlying patents, at which time anyone, including us, became free to use the underlying NASA technology. However, we have also made certain improvements to the basic technology covered by the NASA license and we have obtained a patent on this improved technology that runs through 2017. Management believes this improved technology may place us in a competitively superior position. However, we cannot guarantee that others will not seek to improve the basic technology in a similar manner.

Our Business Depends Upon The Maintenance Of Our Proprietary Technology, And We Rely, In Part, On Contractual Provisions To Protect Our Trade Secrets And Proprietary Knowledge.

        We depend upon our proprietary technology. We rely principally upon trade secret and patent law to protect this technology. We also regularly enter into confidentiality agreements with our key employees, customers and potential customers and limit access to and distribution of our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These measures may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology or that our competitors will not independently develop technologies that are

6



substantially equivalent or superior to our technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. We also are subject to the risk of adverse claims and litigation alleging infringement of intellectual property rights.

        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 Potentially Dependent On Third-Party Suppliers.

        Although we believe that most of the key components required for the production of our products are currently available in sufficient production quantities from multiple sources, they may not remain so readily available. It is possible that other components required in the future may necessitate custom fabrication in accordance with specifications developed or to be developed by us. Also, in the event that we, or our contract manufacturer, as applicable, is unable to develop or acquire components in a timely fashion, our ability to achieve production yields, revenues and net income would be adversely affected.

We Are Commercializing Our Technology Which Will Involve Uncertainty And Risks Related To Market Acceptance.

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

We Are Changing Our Marketing Strategy.

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

We Currently Depend On A Small Number Of Customers And Expect To Continue To Do So.

        We currently do business with approximately 30 customers. Of this number, four customers accounted for approximately 60% of our gross revenues in 2004. These customers and their respective gross revenue percentages are KONE, Inc.-23%; The George Washington University-11%; The May Department Stores-13%; and Weibermachine-13%. In light of our intentions to focus our business on OEMs in the elevator, oil field pump and manufacturing industries, we are, and may continue to be, dependent upon a small number of customers. Accordingly, the loss of one or more of these customers is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business.

Most Of Our 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.

        We compete against a number of 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 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 that, 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.

        A customer's decision to purchase the Power Commander® is primarily driven by the payback on the investment resulting from the increased energy savings. Although management believes that current retail energy prices support an attractive return on investment for our products, the future retail price of electrical energy may not remain at such levels, and price fluctuations reducing energy expense could adversely affect product demand.

Loss Of Key Personnel Could Have Significant Adverse Consequences.

        We currently depend on the services of Steve Strasser, BJ Lackland and Nicholas Anderson. Loss of the services of any 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, Lackland and Anderson, but such contracts do not guarantee that they will remain with us.

We Do Not Have "Key Man" Life Insurance.

        We presently do 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 lives of our two principal executive officers, Steven Strasser and Nicholas Anderson. Upon purchase of such insurance, we intend to pay the premiums and be the sole beneficiary. The lack of such insurance may have a material adverse effect upon our business.

Delaware Law Limits The Liability Of Our Directors.

        Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, our 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.

We Have Elected Not To Adopt Various Voluntary Corporate Governance Measures, And As A Result Stockholders May Have Limited Protections Against Interested Director Transactions, Conflicts Of Interest And Similar Matters.

        Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets. Because our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not required to adopt these corporate governance measures and have not done so voluntarily in order to avoid incurring the additional costs associated with such measures. However, to the extent we seek to have our Common Stock listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, such legislation will require us to make changes to our current corporate governance practices. Those changes may be costly and time-consuming. Furthermore, the absence of the governance measures referred to above with respect to our Company may leave our stockholders with more limited protection in connection with interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

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

        We 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. Any large product liability suits occurring early in our growth may significantly and adversely affect our ability to expand the market for our Power Commander® line of 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 2,228 shares were traded on an average daily trading basis for the 12 months ended September 30, 2005. If limited trading in our Common Stock continues, it may be difficult for investors once and if the Securities are registered, to sell the Securities. Also, the sale of a large block of our Common Stock could depress the market price of our Common Stock to a greater degree than a company that typically has a higher volume of trading of its securities.

The Limited Public Trading Market May Cause Volatility In The Company's Stock Price.

        Our Common Stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "PEFF". The quotation of our Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years such market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies like us. Our Common Stock is thus subject to this volatility. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock.

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

        We cannot predict whether an active market for our Common Stock will develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market:

9


        The OTC Bulletin Board is an unorganized, 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 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 On The Company's Securities.

        The Commission 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:

        Our 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 23,439,266 shares of our Common Stock outstanding on September 30, 2005, 1,596,828 shares are freely trading in the market place (the "Free Trading Shares"). The Free Trading Shares are comprised mostly of shares that were originally issued in transactions that were exempt from registration under the Securities Act; these shares were, over time, resold pursuant to Rule 144 as discussed below.

        The remaining 21,842,438 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. In addition, we have issued 3,918,848 shares of Common Stock on conversion of our Series A-1 Stock in connection with the closing of the Placement, and such shares will also constitute restricted securities under Rule 144. These shares include the 6,803,901 shares held by Summit and Steven Strasser in the aggregate, and the 3,249,049 shares of Common Stock held by Commerce, the offer and sale of which is not being registered hereunder.

        In addition, we have approximately 13,207,216 Common Stock purchase warrants outstanding and approximately 13,479,989 Common Stock options outstanding, including the warrants issued in connection with the recent private offer and sale of the Senior Secured Notes. 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. These shares include the 2,000,000 warrants and 5,212,500 options held by Summit and Steven Strasser in the aggregate, and the 438,239 warrants held by Commerce, the offer and sale of which is not being registered hereunder.

        In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one-year holding period 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. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitation, by a person who is not an Affiliate, as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1), of the Company and who has satisfied a two-year holding period.

        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. If this Registration Statement we are obligated to file in connection with the Placement is declared effective, the selling stockholders hereunder will have an enhanced ability to sell shares, and any such sales may have a similarly adverse effect of the market price of our shares.

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

        As of September 30, 2005, 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 options to purchase an aggregate of 66,232 shares are outstanding. Furthermore, as of the same date we have reserved 15,000,000 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 12,404,989 shares are outstanding. The outstanding options under the 2000 Plan have a weighted average exercise price of $0.36. As of September 30, 2005, we have issued

11



warrants exercisable for 13,207,216 shares of Common Stock to financial consultants, investors, former employees and other business partners, having a weighted average exercise price of $0.44 and expiring on various dates from August 1, 2005 to December 31, 2011.

        Exercise of these options and warrants issued by the Company 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.

        Our 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. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.


SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus, including the sections entitled "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events, our future financial performance, growth of our target market and related worldwide markets, future demand for our products, retail electrical energy demand and prices and similar expectations. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continues" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These risks and other factors include those listed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements as they reflect our management's view only as of the date of this prospectus. We will not update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statement is made.

        This prospectus contains statistical data that we obtained from industry sources. These sources generally indicate that they have obtained their information from sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Although we believe that the industry sources are reliable, we have not independently verified their data.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders. However, we have received $1,122,288 in net proceeds from the private offer and sale of the Senior Secured Notes, and $2,232,750 in net proceeds from the Placement, and if all outstanding options and warrants in respect of which the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock are being registered hereunder were exercised, we would receive approximately $13,215,000 in proceeds.

        We have used the net proceeds from the offer and sale of the Senior Secured Notes for payment of accrued debts, product development, marketing and sales expenses and general working capital required for operations. We currently plan to use any proceeds received from the exercise of options and warrants for the same purposes.

        We need at least $150,000 to $175,000 per month to continue our current operations, not including the payment of accrued liabilities. 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 consolidated 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 13 of this prospectus.

OVERVIEW

        We generate 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.

        We began generating revenues from sales of its patented Power Commander® line of motor controllers in late 1995. As of September 30, 2005, we had total stockholders' equity of $2,084,653 primarily due to our sale of 14,500,000 shares of Common Stock under the Offering, 2,785,969 shares of Series A-1 Stock to Summit in June of 2002 and April of 2005, and the conversion of notes payable of approximately $1,047,000 into 982,504 shares of Series A-1 Stock in October of 2003. In addition, in August 2000, we purchased the assets of Percon, formerly the largest distributor of our products. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and our Statements of Operations includes Percon's results of operations since the date of acquisition. The consolidation of the operations of both entities allowed us to integrate the administrative, sales, marketing and manufacturing operations of Percon. Percon had developed sales contacts with major OEM's in the elevator/escalator industry and transferred those agreements to us as part of the asset sale.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004.

REVENUES

        Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005, were approximately $76,000, compared to $65,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $11,000 or 17%. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in sales in the elevator and escalator market segment. Sales to a new international customer totaled approximately $20,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005. Sales to two new international distributors totaled approximately $1,500 during the three months ended September 30, 2004. Revenue of $18,000 was recognized for a government grant received associated with development expenses related to a medium voltage product application during the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the three months ending September 30, 2005, there was no revenue from the government agency.

        Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, were approximately $222,000, compared to $219,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $3,000 or 1%. This increase is mainly attributable to an increase in sales in the elevator and escalator market segment. Sales to a government agency totaled approximately $50,000, and sales to a new international customer totaled approximately $20,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Sales to three international distributors totaled approximately $41,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Revenue of $30,725 was recognized for a government grant received associated with development expenses related to a medium voltage product application during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. During 2005, there was no grant money received.

17



COST OF PRODUCT REVENUES

        Total cost of product revenues, which includes material and direct labor, allocated costs, and inventory obsolescence and other write-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were approximately $60,500 compared to $26,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $34,500 or 133%. As a percentage of product revenues, total cost of revenues increased to approximately 80% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to approximately 56% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in the costs as a percentage of product revenues was primarily due an increase in the production of higher costing units in 2005. Also, allocated costs were approximately $4,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $5,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of $900 or 17%. As a percentage of product revenues allocated costs were 6% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 11% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The allocated costs as a percentage of product revenues decreased as the allocated costs were absorbed by a higher volume of product revenues. Material and labor costs as a percentage of product revenues increased to 74% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 44% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. This increase was largely due to outsourcing a greater portion of the manufacturing process, resulting in higher direct labor costs per unit and lower allocated costs as a whole in 2005.

        Total cost of product revenues, which includes material and direct labor, allocated costs, and inventory obsolescence and other write-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were approximately $187,000 compared to approximately $160,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $27,000 or 17%. As a percentage of product revenues, total costs of product revenues decreased to approximately 84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to approximately 85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in the costs as a percentage of product revenues was primarily due to no charges to inventory for obsolescence and other write-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $30,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, offset by the Company utilizing an outsourced manufacturer for production in 2005. Also, allocated costs were approximately $19,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to approximately $42,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of $23,000 or 121%. As a percentage of product revenue allocated costs were 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The allocated costs as a percentage of product revenues decreased as the allocated costs were absorbed by a higher volume of product revenues and because the Company began the use of a turnkey manufacturer.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research and Development Expenses

        Research and development expenses were approximately $187,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to approximately $82,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, a $105,000 or a 128% increase. This increase is mainly attributable to the Company's laboratory testing done for further product development which incurred a charge of $76,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

        Research and development expenses were approximately $313,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to approximately $291,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a $22,000 or an 8% increase. This increase is mainly attributable to the Company's reorganizing and cost reduction program implemented in August and September of 2004, offset by a $76,000 charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, related to laboratory testing done for further product development.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $427,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $378,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 an increase of $49,000 or 13%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over the prior year was due primarily to an increase in payroll and payroll related costs, as well as recruiting fees for new employees in the third quarter, offset by the elimination of some fixed costs related to the reduction in workforce and the Company's decision to reorganize its operations in August and September of 2004.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,039,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $1,288,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 a decrease of $249,000 or 19%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses over the prior year was due primarily to a decrease in payroll and payroll related costs for the whole year, as well as the elimination of some fixed costs related to the reduction in workforce and the Company's decision to reorganize its operations in August and September of 2004.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

        Since inception, the Registrant has financed its operations primarily through the sale of its equity securities, debt securities and using available bank lines of credit. As of September 30, 2005, the Registrant had cash of $1,626,826.

        Cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1,510,777 which consisted of: a net loss of $1,760,850; plus depreciation and amortization of $17,360, amortization of deferred financing costs of $63,982, bad debt expenses of $4,530, amortization of debt discount related to issuance of debt securities of $181,726, the settlement of a litigation for $93,853, warrants issued in connection with the issuance of debt, employment agreements, and consulting fees of $27,549; less increases in accounts receivable of $65,165, and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $20,916 and decreases in inventory of $25,373, restricted cash of $165,416, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $180,742 and accrued salaries and payroll taxes of $62,893.

        Cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $737,639, which consisted of: a net loss of $1,592,001; plus depreciation and amortization of $55,510, bad debt expense of $5,493, inventory obsolescence reserve of $29,484, loss on sale of fixed assets of $31,226, decreases in accounts receivable of $14,010, inventory of $40,518, increases in prepaid expenses and other assets of $13,481, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $298,236, customer deposits of $6,983 and accrued salaries and payroll taxes of $386,383.

        Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1,373 compared with $21,576 in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The amounts for both years consisted of the purchase of fixed assets.

        Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $2,746,505 which consisted of: proceeds from the issuance of debt securities and notes payable of $125,000 and $300,000, respectively; proceeds from the issuance of equity securities of $2,741,378, partially offset by repayments of loans to former officers of $56,416 and the conversion of a note payable to equity of $300,000, and an increase in deferred financing costs of $63,457.

        Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $474,800, which primarily consisted of proceeds of $174,800 from the issuance of equity securities related to the Company's Regulation "S" stock offering and $300,000 of proceeds from the Summit Energy Ventures line of credit. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $474,800, which primarily consisted of proceeds of $184,800 from the issuance

19



of equity securities related to the Company's Reg "S" stock offering and $300,000 of proceeds from the Summit Energy Ventures line of credit. This was partially offset by payments to a former officer of $10,000.

        The Registrant expects to experience growth in its operating expenses, particularly in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses, for the foreseeable future in order to execute its business strategy. As a result, the Registrant anticipates that operating expenses will constitute a material use of any cash resources.

        Since capital resources are insufficient to satisfy the Registrant's liquidity requirements, management intends to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain debt financing. The Registrant believes it can raise additional funds through private placements of equity. However, there are no assurances that sufficient capital can be raised.

Cash Requirements and Need for Additional Funds

        The Registrant anticipates a substantial need for cash to fund its working capital requirements. In accordance with the Registrant's prepared expansion plan, it is the opinion of management that approximately $2.0 million will be required to cover operating expenses, including, but not limited to, marketing, sales and operations during the next twelve months. On July 8, 2005 and on August 31, 2005 the Company completed, in two phases, a stock offering for approximately $2.9 million in gross proceeds (see Note 5 to the Financial Statements), which netted approximately $2.2 million.

BUSINESS

General Background

        We design, develop and market solid-state motor controllers, called "Performance Controllers," which reduce the amount of power consumed by alternating current induction motors in variable load applications. Utilizing patented improvements upon NASA-developed motor diagnostic technologies, our products provide to the user energy cost savings of as much as 35%. We market our products directly under brand names such as Power Commander® and Performance Controller, and by other companies under distribution agreements utilizing names such as EcoStart. These companies include the leading elevator/escalator manufacturers in the world, such as Otis Elevator Co (a division of United Technologies).

Description of Business

Formation

        We were incorporated in Delaware in 1994. In our early years we focused on research and development and developing methods to validate the energy savings generated by our products. Field validation of the technology has resulted in an installed base of several thousand units in North America, Europe and Asia. High-profile product installations include the Smithsonian Museums, Honolulu International Airport, and Federated Department Stores. Our average revenue per three-phase unit sold is approximately $850; our gross margin on a going forward basis is expected to be 30-60% once our revenue has increased to more sustainable levels.

        Our management team is led by Steven Strasser, an experienced energy executive and venture capitalist. The management team is composed of individuals with financial, operational, and engineering experience. We believe that our diverse team gives us the ability to both grow and manage our business.

        Government mandates to reduce energy, in response to high oil and gas prices, have led to an increased focus by both the public and private sectors on energy saving technology. This focus, combined with the large installed base of electric motors that can benefit from our products, represents what we believe to be an extremely large market opportunity. We have formulated a proactive sales and marketing plan to capitalize on this dynamic market.

Products

        We offer the Performance Controller in various configurations to meet a wide range of motor sizes. In addition to our original product family, we have developed a new platform "A" with an innovative design that reduces manufacturing cost and decreases the product's size to meet the needs of an expanded base of industrial applications. The Performance Controller reduces energy consumption on electrical equipment by electronically sensing and controlling the amount of energy the motor consumes. The motor only uses the energy it needs to perform its tasks, thereby increasing its efficiency. The end result is a reduction of energy consumption of approximately 15 to 35 percent, in certain applications, as well as less wear and tear on the motor.

        We believe the Performance Controller line offers a technologically superior energy reduction solution compared to competing products. In addition to the original technology that was licensed from NASA, the Performance Controller incorporates substantial proprietary design elements that are the result of our extensive laboratory and field testing. A United States patent has been issued for these engineering enhancements that will not expire until 2017. These refinements enable the Performance Controller to offer a superior control system which measures and monitors key motor operating conditions and adapts motor operating parameters during rapid changes in motor load, all without

21



excessive vibration, synchronization problems or other material adverse effects to the motor or surrounding electrical and mechanical systems.

        In addition to energy savings, another feature of the Performance Controller is that it enables motors to soft start. Soft start is achieved by the use of a timed ramp circuit. The circuit gradually releases power to the motor in a timed manner. As voltage is slowly increased, current is gradually increased as needed by the motor, until full voltage and current bring the motor to its full RPM. At that point, the soft-start circuit automatically turns off and the energy saving circuits take control of the motor. The timing for the circuit can be adjusted from instant start to 30 seconds before full RPM and full voltage is reached. The result of the soft start is that inrush current and start-up torque is greatly reduced, reducing wear and tear on the motor, extending motor life and reducing maintenance costs.

        The Performance Controller currently works for three phase motors used primarily in commercial and industrial applications. The Controller soft-starts the motor and then supplies only the necessary voltage and current to maintain the workload on the motor at a particular time. The Controller allows full motor speed (RPM) to be maintained at all times, and provides the following major benefits to the customer:

        The selling price of the three phase performance controller ranges from approximately $200 to more than $6,000, depending on the size of the motor it is intended to control.

The Industry

        The world is presently feeling the effects of limited oil and gas supply. The increase in oil and gas costs has produced a new awareness of energy saving technology. The recent increase in natural gas prices combined with the reliance on this fuel to power most of the new power generation plants, and the need to upgrade the US power grid that delivers electricity, make further increases in electrical costs likely. The August 14, 2003 power blackout in the eastern United States that resulted in a loss of power for over 40 million users dramatically illustrates the need to update the grid. Typical energy costs of $.07 per kilowatt-hour have increased to $.13 to $.15 per kWh in some areas. Higher electricity costs result in increased return on investment ("ROI") to purchasers of our products. Since many companies set ROI requirements as a prerequisite for capital expenditures, Management believes that the increased ROI resulting from higher energy costs expands our potential base of customers for our products.

        Economic and environmental factors are expected to lead to increased governmental involvement in the form of incentives, rebates, low interest loans, and in some cases mandates to utilize energy-saving technology. The emphasis on building natural gas power plants was influenced by the safety and environmental concerns with nuclear and coal fired plants. The increasing demand for natural gas has resulted in strong price increases that we believe are unlikely to return to previous levels in the short term. The resulting increases in power costs impact the entire economy. We believe that the need to reduce power costs, coupled with strong pressures to maintain and increase environmental standards, will lead to widespread acceptance of our technology.

Environmental Impact

        The Performance Controller benefits the purchaser and society by reducing the consumption of electricity and therefore also reducing pollutants, including greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of electricity.

22



The Market

        The United States consumes over $200 billion of electricity annually. The Consortium for Energy Efficiency estimates that motor driven systems consume 23% of all electricity in the U.S. More specifically, Kema, a well known international energy consulting firm, estimates that motors account for 59% of all the electricity used in manufacturing. Based on our experience, 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, oil pump jacks, crushing machines, saw mills, stamping presses, and other manufacturing equipment.

Key Characteristics of Target Customer

Sustainable Competitive Advantage and Barriers to Entry

23


Sales and Marketing

        We have recently reorganized our sales and marketing efforts to focus on rebate programs and certain industries in which we believe there are the most promising revenue and profit possibilities for the sale of Performance Controllers. The previous strategies (developed by previous management) relied on anticipated sales from strategic partners, the world's leading elevator and escalator companies, or attempted mass marketing to end users. Prior management did not have experience in the commercial application of energy-saving technologies. Therefore, the time and effort needed for these large strategic partners to approve and integrate our unique motor controllers into their product mix was underestimated, and the effects of mass marketing were overestimated. In our approach to large strategic elevator and escalator partners, concerns about rider safety led to a very cautious approach to embracing our technology. Fortunately, these safety standards have required us to develop a product with exceptional quality and reliability, and our strategic partners have accepted the product's safety. The reliability will help showcase the technological advances of the product as more installations are achieved and minimize future sales and marketing expense required for each dollar in sales. Progress is being made in this segment, as evidenced by recent sales programs with international hotel and department store operators and with major public power authorities. Our new and more comprehensive sales and marketing strategy has been designed to substantially increase the incentives available through marketing channels in order to drive unit sales volume. Increased volume enables manufacturing efficiencies that can be passed through in reduced pricing, further increasing customers' return on investment.

        Our revised marketing plan is now focused on the following:

24



        International sales may eventually equal or exceed domestic sales due to higher electricity prices in many countries outside the United States. We have obtained the CE Mark, a symbol that indicates the product complies with the "essential requirements" of the European laws or Directives, in order to introduce the controller in Europe; we have also obtained the CSA Mark, which indicates the product complies with the "essential requirements" of the Canadian laws or Directives, and is recognized, and required in some states, in the United States.

Competition

        We believe that the three phase Performance Controller has no direct competition that combines energy savings with a soft start feature as effectively as our product. There are many devices on the market that provide a soft-start feature without any other energy savings. Competition for the energy savings feature provided by the Performance Controller includes several direct competitors and the following:

        Our products compete with other products which have energy savings capabilities similar to those of our products. Somar Environmental Systems Ltd. and Fairford Electronics Ltd., both of the United Kingdom, and Coast Energy Management Industries of Phoenix, Arizona, offer such products. According to an independent test performed by Medsker Electric, Inc. of Farmington Hills, Michigan, our three-phase motor control product outperformed our competitors' products by a significant margin. A chart depicting the results of the Medsker test is shown below. All three of the above manufacturers incorporate digital circuitry. Both of the British companies have very limited exposure in the United States. To our knowledge, none of these companies has a patented product that is UL, CSA and CE approved.

25


CHART

        Further, our products may compete indirectly with "soft starters" produced by well-recognized firms such as Allen Bradley, ABB and Siemens. These devices typically range in price between $750 and $1,500 per unit. We believe that we offer the only "soft start" product which achieves an increased level of energy efficiency up to 35% for the attached motor.

        In addition, our products may compete with variable frequency drives, which can be set to operate a constant load motor application at an optimum rate. Such units are sold by well-recognized firms such as Yaskawa, General Electric, and Allen-Bradley, and are priced typically at $600 to $5,000 per unit. While our products address a market segment different than that addressed by variable frequency drives, they may generally compete with variable frequency drives for capital expenditure dollars earmarked toward improving energy efficiency.

        Lastly, our products may compete with high efficiency motors, which operate constant load motor applications at energy levels materially more efficient than those of standard efficiency motors. Such units are sold by well-recognized firms such as AO Smith, Lincoln Motors and General Electric, and are priced typically at $500 to $4,000 per unit. While our products address a market segment different from that addressed by high efficiency motors, our products may generally compete with high efficiency motors for capital expenditure dollars earmarked for improving energy efficiency.

Research and Development

        We intend to continue our research and development effort to introduce new products based on the Performance Controller technology when adequate funds are available. Currently, we have under development a Solid State Energy Saving Motor Starter, and the single phase controller, both described below under "Proposed Products." We may not be able to complete development and commercialization of these products in the near term, or ever, or may have opportunities to develop other products before these are completed.

26



Proposed Products

        1.    Solid State Motor Starter.    We have developed and tested, on a limited basis, a totally solid state motor starter that incorporates all the energy-saving and soft-start features of the Performance Controller. This solid state motor starter will incorporate all of the components typically required for a stand alone combination starter. These components include a circuit breaker, a contactor, and motor overload protection. In addition to these conventional components, our unit will also incorporate both our soft start and our energy saving features as differentiators from the competition. This unit will therefore have the capability to start the motor from complete stop, provide a soft start feature and provide ongoing energy savings while the motor runs. Almost all motor starters are electromechanical devices whose basic design has not changed for 50 years. Every three phase industrial or commercial motor throughout the world requires a motor starter.

        Our Solid State Motor Starter offers the following advantages compared to its existing electromechanical counterpart:

        Before being ready for commercial marketing, certain improvements have to be implemented, including but not limited to the following: (1) the unit needs to be redesigned to facilitate selection of power levels to match National Electrical Manufacturing Association ("NEMA") ratings for existing starters; (2) research must be conducted to design a unit for larger motor applications (10 to 200 horsepower range); and (3) the approval of Underwriters Laboratories must be obtained for each category of starter.

        2.    Single-Phase Controller.    We have developed prototype single-phase controllers that currently provide energy savings without soft start capabilities. The goal of this project is to develop a product that can be installed on single-phase motors as a retrofit and also constitute an OEM product that can be installed at the factory. This product in prototype form has recently been tested on commercial coffee grinders with a large retail chain in Canada and on "slushie" machines. We believe, but have not extensively tested, that the technology should show positive results and energy savings on such appliances as clothes dryers and washing machines and some home refrigerators. We believe this single phase product will have significant applications in the appliance market, a very large market on its own.

Manufacturing and Facilities

        Currently, we have an arrangement with a manufacturer in the electronics industry, Q.C. Corporation d/b/a System Controls located in Livonia, Michigan. System Controls manufactures units for us on an as-needed basis. Under the arrangement, we issue a purchase order to System Controls that outlines, among other things, the number of units to be manufactured and the price per unit. System Controls is under no obligation to accept the order and we are under no obligation to use System Controls for our manufacturing needs. We believe the arrangement with System Controls has been mutually beneficial to both parties and expect that the relationship will continue. We also believe that System Controls has the ability to meet our near-term production needs and we would be successful in finding alternative manufacturers should System Controls not be available to manufacture the product. We are currently qualifying a second contract manufacturer, Cole Industries, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and expect that this company will be able to manufacture our product successfully. We

27



maintain offices only in Floral Park, New York, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Our administrative and sales will be headquartered in Las Vegas and R&D will be conducted at our facility in Floral Park.

Employees

        As of September 30, 2005, we had 11 full-time employees. Relations with our employees are good.

Source of Supply and Availability of Raw Materials

        The performance controller has been designed to use a majority of standard, off-the-shelf, easily acquired components. Such components have been used in over 3,500 units, and are items readily available worldwide to our manufacturing partners at competitive prices. They also come in standard and miniature versions and offer us large latitude in product design. The performance controller uses a combination of components. Although we believe that 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 that they will remain so readily available.

Customers

        We currently do business with approximately 30 customers. Of this number, four customers accounted for 60% of our gross revenues in 2004. These customers and their respective gross revenue percentages are KONE, Inc. (23%), The George Washington University (11%), The May Department Stores (13%), and Weibermachine (13%). In light of our intentions to focus our business on OEMs in the elevator, oil field pump and manufacturing industries, 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.

Intellectual Property

        We currently rely on a combination of trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements and a patent to establish and protect the proprietary rights in our products. These mechanisms do not necessarily provide us with any competitive advantages. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar technologies, or duplicate or "reverse engineer" the proprietary aspects of our technology.

        We have one U.S. patent issued with respect to our 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 us. We believe this patent protects our intellectual property position beyond the expiration of the NASA License Agreement because:

        We do not have patent protection outside of the United States and South Africa. In fact, we believe that a Chinese company has copied our technology, as well as our logo and general Website appearance, and is selling a competing product.

        We believe that our products and other proprietary rights do not infringe on any proprietary rights possessed by third parties. However, third parties may assert infringement claims in the future, the defense costs of which could be substantial.

        We have obtained U.S. Trademark registration of the Power Commander® mark.

28



NASA License Agreement

        We 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 us to pay royalties to NASA in connection with our sale of products employing technology utilizing the licensed patents. Our 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, with the expiration of all of the licensed patents.

Government Regulation

        We are not required to be certified by any government agencies. However, our products are manufactured to comply with specific Underwriters' Laboratory codes that meet national safety standards. Presently, our products comply with UL 508 Industrial Control Equipment and the Company has also received certification meeting Canadian Standards Association ("CSA") CSA-B44.1-96/ASME-17.5-1996 Elevator and Escalator Electrical Equipment. Our products are also CE compliant. The CE certificate number is C1282PEC1.TLS.doc. The Department of Commerce does not require our technology to be certified for export. Our industrial code is 421610 and the SIC code is 5063.

Deregulation of Electrical Energy and the Energy Industry

        Sales of our product are not dependant on continued deregulation of the electrical energy market because our products can be sold in regulated and deregulated markets. However, state and utility incentive programs can provide an additional source of investment return (in the form of an incentive payment or rebate) for companies and public-sector entities purchasing our product and future projects.

Effect of Environmental Regulations

        We are 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 us has had, or is expected to have, a material effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.

Description of Property

        Our corporate office space is located at 3900 Paradise Road, Suite 283, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 and shared with one of our major investors, Summit, under a sublease with a management company wholly owned by our CEO and described under "Certain Relationships And Related Party Transactions" below. Upon the commencement of the new employment agreements with Messrs. Strasser and Lackland, effective June 1, 2005, we terminated this agreement and have assumed all payments for the office lease at a rental of $3,700 per month through the end of the lease term in May 2007. We also lease office space in Floral Park, New York for research and development activities on a month to month basis at a rental of $1,000 per month.

Legal Proceedings

        We have recently settled litigation with the owner of the former office space in Livonia, Michigan. We vacated in 2004. Under the settlement we have paid our former landlord $50,000 in cash and will pay the former landlord an additional $50,000 in 18 monthly installments of $2,778 each month. After application of our accrued loss contingency reserve, we recognized a loss of approximately $65,000 on our September 30, 2005 financial statements.

Board Committees

        Our board of directors has an audit committee and a compensation committee. Our board of directors may also establish in the future any other committees that it deems necessary or advisable.

        Audit Committee.    Currently our entire board of directors is functioning as our audit committee. Our audit committee, among other things:

        The audit committee has the sole and direct responsibility for appointing, evaluating and retaining our independent auditors and for overseeing their work.

        Up to December 31, 2004, we had a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act or 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Until recently, Mr. Lackland was the sole member and chairman of the committee. In September 2004, Mr. Lackland became our Interim Chief Financial Officer and therefore had to resign from the audit committee. At that time, Mr. Rick Pulford, a director, became the sole member of the audit committee on a temporary basis, and as of December 31, 2004, Mr. Pulford was the committee's sole member. As Mr. Pulford agreed only to serve on the audit committee on a temporary basis, on February 10, 2005, the board of directors dissolved the audit committee because there were no independent directors willing to serve on it. The board of directors desires to locate and form an audit committee as soon as willing and qualified directors can be identified and retained. Until that time, the board of directors as a whole has taken on the audit committee functions.

        Compensation Committee.    The sole member of our compensation committee is Raymond Skiptunis, who qualifies as an independent director under current NASDAQ and SEC rules and regulations. Mr. Skiptunis chairs the compensation committee. Our compensation committee, among other things:

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        Except for Mr. Skiptunis' prior service as an officer which terminated in October 2003, none of the members of our compensation committee has at any time been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Director Compensation

        Non-employee directors have recently received 100,000 options per year for their board service.

(1)
Each option vests over a three-to-five year period, with some already vested, and some yet to be vested. The exercise price of each option shown in the table was equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, and all options have ten-year terms. Vesting for each option accelerates in the event of a change of control, including a merger, sale or liquidation.

(2)
In 2005, we granted options to purchase a total of 11,250,000 shares to employees, directors and consultants under our stock option plan.

(3)
The potential realizable value of the options granted is calculated by multiplying the difference between the exercise price of the option and the market value per share of the underlying stock (assuming a 5% or 10%, as the case may be, compounded annual increase of the stock price from the date of grant to the final expiration of the option) by the number of shares underlying the options granted. The price appreciation assumptions are required disclosures under the rules of the Commission and are not to be viewed as any expectation or prediction by us of the future value of the underlying Common Stock.

        The following table sets forth information concerning unexercised options and warrants and options held by our executive officers as of September 30, 2005, and their exercise of options and warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

        In the case of Mr. Anderson, the new employment agreement will supercede a previous employment agreement dated April 1, 2001, and salary reduction agreement entered into on October 20, 2004.

        On November 7, 2002, we entered into an employment and deferred compensation agreement with Raymond Skiptunis, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at the time. This agreement was terminated through a settlement and release agreement dated June 7, 2003. On January 8, 2004, we settled this obligation in full by issuing 15,397 shares of common stock to the former officer. This number of shares equaled the amount of deferred compensation owing under the agreement divided by our stock price on January 8th, 2004.

        On June 12, 2003, we entered into an employment agreement with Richard Koch, a new Chief Executive Officer. In addition to a base salary, this individual also received 142,857 stock options, which will vest over a five-year period. On August 27, 2004, this Chief Executive Officer resigned, and we reached a settlement agreement that included the payment of some accrued wages and vacation in cash, some payment over time through an unsecured note with a principal balance of $25,334, and the issuance of 85,000 warrants, valued at approximately $22,000, for the purchase of our common stock in lieu of cash payment. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance.

        On September 15, 2003, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Keith Collin, a new Chief Financial Officer. In September 2004 this Chief Financial Officer resigned. We reached a settlement and consulting agreement with this then former officer that included payment of a back salary in cash over several months as well as payments of cash and 35,000 warrants, which were valued at approximately $9,000, for consulting services. In October 2004 the former officer also agreed to accept 15,000 warrants in lieu of some of the accrued wages. All warrants issued to this former officer expire five years after issuance.

Stock Option Plans

        As of September 30, 2005, we had an aggregate of 15,071,429 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under our stock plans. The following is a description of our plans.

36



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 September 8, 2003, the 2000 Plan was amended and restated. As of September 30, 2005, no restricted shares of Common Stock have been issued, and none of the outstanding options to purchase 12,404,989 shares of our Common Stock have been exercised pursuant to the 2000 Plan.

        Share Reserve.    Under the 2000 Plan, we have initially reserved for issuance an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares.

        Administration.    The 2000 Plan is administered by the board of directors. The stock option awards qualify as "performance-based-compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, with two or more outside directors within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The board of directors has the power to determine the terms of the awards, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to each award, the exercisability of the awards and the form of consideration payable upon exercise.

        Eligibility.    Awards under the 2000 Plan may be granted to any of our employees, directors or consultants or those of our affiliates.

        Options.    With respect to non-statutory stock options intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and incentive stock options, the exercise price must be at least equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. In addition, the exercise price for any incentive stock option granted to any employee owning more than 10% of our Common Stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of any stock option may not exceed ten years, except that with respect to any participant who owns 10% or more of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the term for incentive stock options must not exceed five years.

        Stock Awards.    The administrator may determine the number of shares to be granted and impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate, including performance criteria. The criteria may be based on financial performance, personal performance evaluations and/or completion of service by the participant. The administrator will determine the level of achievement of performance criteria. Unless the administrator determines otherwise, shares that do not vest typically will be subject to forfeiture or to our right of repurchase, which we may exercise upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the participant's service with us for any reason, including death or disability.

        Adjustments upon Merger or Change in Control.    The 2000 Plan provides that in the event of a merger with or into another corporation or a "change in control," including the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and certain other events, our board of directors (or a committee of the board of directors) may, in its discretion, provide for some or all of:

        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.

37



The 1994 Plan

        Prior to the adoption of the 2000 Plan, our board adopted a stock option plan reserving a total of 71,429 shares, which we refer to as the 1994 Plan. The 1994 Plan was adopted in 1994, however, no new grants from this plan are available. Options with respect to 66,232 shares are outstanding under the 1994 Plan as of December 31, 2004. The 1994 Plan provides for the issuance of non-statutory stock options to our employees, directors and consultants, with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. All options granted under the 1994 Plan are fully vested. No additional options may be granted under the 1994 Plan.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Our certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of our directors shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL generally provides that no director shall be liable personally to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that our certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) acts or omissions in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases; or (iv) any transaction from which such director derives improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate our rights and the rights of our stockholders through stockholders' derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty of care as a director including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our or our stockholders' ability to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of her or his fiduciary duty.

        In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, indemnify all directors and officers who we may indemnify pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL permits a company to indemnify an officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding because of his or her position, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers consistent with indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

        We maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by our directors and officers in connection with the performance of their duties. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by us.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, our directors and officers, and persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

38



CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Relationship with Northwest Power Management, Inc.

        On November 18, 2004, our board of directors ratified an agreement with Northwest Power Management, Inc. ("NPM"), a management company wholly owned by Steven Strasser, our current Chief Executive Officer. Under the agreement, we paid NPM a fee of $20,000 per month which is applied to a rental under a sublease of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada from NPM to us, including general office expenses and utilities, and the then current salaries and benefits for our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer. The parties agreed to terminate this agreement effective June 1, 2005 in connection with the Employment Agreements for Mr. Strasser and Mr. Lackland.

Relationship with Summit, Steven Strasser and John (BJ) Lackland

Agreements with Officers and Directors

        We will enter and expect to continue to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. Generally, these agreements attempt to provide the maximum protection permitted by law with respect to indemnification. See "Management—Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers."


SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

        The following table provides certain information with respect to the selling stockholders' beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of September 30, 2005 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 that 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 A 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 23,439,166 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2005. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders.

40


        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:

        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 tock dividends, stock splits, reorganization, reclassifications and consolidations.

Series A-1 Stock

        We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share, of which 4,714,279 shares of Series A-1 Stock were outstanding prior to the Placement. Each share of Series A-1 Stock is currently convertible into 0.83 shares of Common Stock. The 4,714,279 outstanding shares of Series A-1 Stock were converted into 3,918,848 shares of Common Stock on July 8, 2005 in connection with this Placement. The Series A-1 Stock has certain liquidation and anti-dilution rights that are superior to the Common Stock, as described in "RISK FACTORS" above.

55


Registration Rights

        We are obligated to (i) include the Placement Securities in a registration statement to be filed by us with the Commission within 60 days after the final closing date, and (ii) use our best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission within 120 days after the final closing date and to remain effective without any lapse of 30 or more consecutive days. The holders of warrants issued in connection with the Senior Secured Notes have similar rights. The filing of this Registration Statement satisfies the first obligation in both cases.

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:

        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.

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.

Rule 144

        All the 32,072,711 shares registered in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As of September 30, 2005, we also have outstanding an additional 1,886,316 shares of Common Stock that were issued and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. If shares are purchased by our "affiliates" as that term is defined in Rule 144, their sales of shares would be governed by the limitations and restrictions that are described below. The offer and sale of shares held by our "affiliates" Summit, Steven Strasser,

56



and Commerce, is not being registered hereunder, and sale of those shares would also be governed by such limitations and restrictions.

        In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares of our Common Stock for at least one year, including any person who may be deemed to be an "affiliate" (as the term "affiliate" is defined under the Securities Act), would be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

        Sales under Rule 144 are also governed by other requirements regarding the manner of sale, notice of filing and the availability of current public information about us. Under Rule 144, however, a person who is not, and for the three months prior to the sale of such shares has not been, an affiliate of the issuer is free to sell shares that are "restricted securities" which have been held for at least two years without regard to the limitations contained in Rule 144. The selling stockholders will not be governed by the foregoing restrictions when selling their shares pursuant to this prospectus.

Rule 144(k)

        Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, notice filing, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Our Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

        All of the 32,072,711 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:

        The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

        The shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants issued to those selling stockholders who, as indicated in the Selling Stockholder table above, received such warrants as part of compensation pursuant to a placement agency agreement between us and Joseph Stevens & Co. are restricted in accordance with Rule 2710(g)(1) of the NASD Conduct Rules. Accordingly, those selling stockholders shall not directly or indirectly, offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or subject to hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction such shares for a period of 180 days after the date this registration statement is declared effective by the SEC.

        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.

        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

59



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 $                        .

60



        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 Jones Vargas, Las Vegas, Nevada.


EXPERTS

        The balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 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 the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Power Efficiency Corporation, (a Delaware corporation) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. 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, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 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, the Company has experienced a deficiency of cash from operations and lacks sufficient liquidity to continue its 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, 2004 AND 2003

NOTE 1—NATURE OF BUSINESS:

        Power Efficiency Corporation ("Power Efficiency" and/or the "Company"), was incorporated in Delaware on October 19, 1994. Power Efficiency designs, develops, markets and sells proprietary solid state electrical devices designed to effectively 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 two principal and proprietary products: the Three Phase Power Commander®, which is used in industrial applications, and the Single Phase Power Commander®, which is used in consumer applications. The Company also engages in research and development of new, related energy saving products.

        The Company's primary customers have been original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) and commercial accounts located throughout the United States of America, Mexico, China, and Canada. Since the third quarter of 2003, the Company began to actively market to international distributors and directly to large national accounts.

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.

        Significant estimates have been made by management in several areas, including the allowance for bad debts, inventories and the valuation of goodwill. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates, making it reasonably possible that a change in these estimates could occur in the near term.

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.

Accounts Receivable:

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

Research and Development:

        Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

F-7



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 and Amortization:

        Website is stated at cost. Website costs capitalized include application and infrastructure development stage costs and graphics. Amortization is computed on a straight line basis, based upon the estimated useful life of the website which is three years. Website 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. Such costs will be offset against equity proceeds, amortized on a straight line basis, over the life of the debt, or 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.

Revenue Recognition:

        Revenue from product sales to OEM's and distributors is recognized at the time of shipment to the OEM's and distributors when all services are complete. Returns and other sales adjustments (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 has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB25). If the option price under the Stock Option Plans equals or exceeds the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant, no compensation cost is

F-8



recognized under the provisions of APB25 for stock options. If the option price under the Stock Option Plans is less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, compensation cost is recognized for the difference.The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," for stock options issued. Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of award and is recognized over the service (or vesting period). SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure", amended the disclosure requirements of SFAS No.123 to require prominent disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reporting results.

        The Company utilizes SFAS 123 for accounting for nonemployee stock based compensation. The Company recognized expense based on fair value on the date of grant of awards consistent with the provisions on SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS 148.

Product Warranties:

        The Company warrants its products for eighteen months. During the warranty period, the Company's policy is to replace the defective product. The Company has been providing for warranty costs as they are incurred. The Company periodically reviews warranty claims and will establish a reserve for warranty claims when such amount is determinable and necessary based on historical information.

Provision for Income Taxes:

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

        The provision for taxes represents state franchise taxes.

Goodwill:

        The Company previously adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill shall no longer be amortized. There was no goodwill amortization during 2004 or 2003. Goodwill shall be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances.

Advertising:

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $21,202 and $4,463 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

F-9



New Accounting Pronouncements:

        The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued several new standards during 2004. In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs -an amendment of ARB No. 43." SFAS No. 151 requires idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) costs to be recognized as current period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred during the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements.In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which revises SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS 123(R) requires fair value recognition of stock option grants in the income statement as an expense and is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. This pronouncement may have a material impact on the Company's operating results. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its financial statements.

Financial Statement Reclassifications:

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial statements in order for them to conform to the 2004 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, the Company experienced a $1,400,000 deficiency of cash from operations in 2004 and lacks sufficient liquidity to continue its operations.

        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 6—GOODWILL:

An annual goodwill impairment test was performed by management in addition to quarterly goodwill impairment tests.

NOTE 16—NOTES PAYABLE—FORMER OFFICERS:

        On September 15, 2003, the Company issued a $115,000 promissory note payable to a former officer at the prime rate (5.25% at December 31, 2004). The note calls for monthly payments of $5,000, principal and interest, which began on April 15, 2004 and matures on February 15, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company paid $40,000 in principal.

        On December 15, 2004, the Company issued a $25,334 promissory note payable to a former officer, in connection with a settlement agreement (See Note 17), at 15%. The note calls for monthly payments of $1,580, principal and interest, beginning January 2005 and matures on June 15, 2006.

NOTE 17—EMPLOYMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS:

        On October 20, 2004, the Company's Chief Technology Officer signed a salary reduction agreement, which supersedes an employment agreement the Company's board of directors ratified on May 23, 2001. The agreement provides for a salary of $60,000 per year until such time that the company can reasonably afford to fund its business plan and pay executives higher salaries.

        The agreement also provides for severance payments equal to the greater of (i) $468,000 or (ii) the executive's base salary for the preceding three years, in the event that at any time during the employment term the agreement is terminated by the Company (a) without cause, (b) for disability, or (c) for death, or if the executive terminates the agreement for cause. The agreement also provides for a payment to the executive upon a change in control equal to the product of the executive's base salary in the year of the change in control times 2.99.

        On November 7, 2002, the Company entered into an employment and compensation agreement with the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at the time. This agreement was terminated through a settlement and release agreement dated June 7, 2003. On January 8th 2004, the Company settled this obligation in full by issuing 15,397 shares of common stock to the former officer. This number of shares equaled the amount of deferred compensation divided by the Company's stock price on January 8th, 2004.

F-19


        On June 12, 2003, the Company entered into an employment agreement with a new Chief Executive Officer. In addition to a base salary, this individual also received 142,857 stock options, which will vest over a five-year period.

        On August 27, 2004 this Chief Executive Officer resigned from the Company and the Company reached a settlement agreement that included the payment of some accrued wages and vacation in cash, some payment over time through an unsecured note with a principal balance of $25,334, and the issuance of 85,000 warrants, valued at approximately $22,000, for the purchase of the Company's common stock in lieu of cash payment. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance.

        On September 15, 2003, the Company entered into an employment agreement with a new Chief Financial Officer.

        In September 2004 this Chief Financial Officer resigned from the Company. The Company reached a settlement and consulting agreement with this then former officer that included payment of a back salary in cash over several months as well as payments of cash and 35,000 warrants, which were valued at approximately $9,000, for consulting services. In October the former officer also agreed to accept 15,000 warrants in lieu of some of the accrued wages. All warrants issued to this former officer expire five years after issuance.

        In September 2004 the Company hired its current Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer. Their compensation and certain expenses are reimbursed pursuant to an agreement with a management company wholly owned by the Chief Executive Officer. (See Note 14).

NOTE 18—TRANSACTIONS WITH CURRENT AND FORMER OFFICERS:

        On September 30, 2003, the Company sold 76,663 shares of common stock to the chief technology officer of the Company, for $466,875. The purchase price for the shares was paid for by canceling $466,875 in debt owed by the Company to the officer. Additionally, the Company issued 32,143 shares of common stock to the officer as part of a settlement related to a change of control provision in his employment contract. The individual is an officer of the Company and the issuance of shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation D. The common stock issued related to the change in control provision resulted in a non-recurring selling, general and administration expense of approximately $196,000.

        On October 16, 2003, the Company settled a dispute with its former president and chief executive officer regarding the early termination of his employment contract. According to the terms of the settlement, the former officer has released the Company from any claims he has against the Company in exchange for (i) an immediate payment of $25,000; (ii) a promissory note for $115,000 that is to be paid off over a two and one half year period; and (iii) 32,143 shares of the Company's common stock. The former officer is an accredited investor and the issuance of shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation D. The Company had recorded an estimated settlement amount of approximately $135,000 for this claim. Therefore, the settlement resulted in a non-recurring selling, general and administrative expense of approximately $229,000.

NOTE 19—ISSUANCE OF SERIES A-1 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK:

        Pursuant to the original issuance of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock in June 2002, the Company has asked for and received on October 11, 2004, a waiver of certain anti-dilution rights so

F-20



that the issuance of up to a specific number of options and warrants with exercise prices of no less than $0.65 per share will not trigger these anti-dilution rights. Had the waiver not been received, in the event that the Company issues shares at a price less than $1.281 per share, the conversion rights of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock would have been adjusted so that the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock can convert into such number of shares that Summit would have received had it bought common stock at such lower price. Furthermore, the conversion rights of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock would also have been adjusted in the event that any shares, warrants, options or promissory note is issued with a price or conversion price less than $1.281 per share.

        In the event of a Liquidation Event, the holders of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to two times the price paid by Summit for such stock. Thereafter, the remaining corporate assets would be distributed among the holders of common stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis. The existence of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock's anti-dilution provisions may reduce the percentage of common stock held by the public stockholders. Furthermore, the terms on which the Company could obtain additional capital may be adversely affected by the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock's anti-dilution provisions and superior liquidation preference.

        On June 7, 2004, Summit Energy Ventures notified the Company that it had transferred 1,747,587 of the Company's Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,645,404 of the Company's common stock to Commonwealth Energy Corporation, a former member of Summit Energy Ventures LLC. This transfer makes Commonwealth Energy Corporation the Company's single largest shareholder.

NOTE 20—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

        During 2004, the Company issued 700,700 warrants to settle outstanding liabilities with former employees, consultants and vendors, 132,693 warrants for commissions related to the issuance of debt, and 1,752,882 warrants to noteholders. (See Note 11).

        On February 26, 2004, the Company announced a 1 to 7 reverse stock split to be effective to stockholders of record as of March 1, 2004. All common stock share amounts and information related to the issuance of warrants and options and Per Share amounts have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

        On December 31, 2003, the Company issued 24,805 shares of common stock for the settlement related to deferred compensation.

        On November 6, 2003, the Company issued 982,504 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock for the conversion of $1,046,896 of debt owed to Summit.

        On October 16, 2003, the Company issued 64,286 shares of common stock related to the settlement requirements of a former officer's employment contract.

        On September 30, 2003, the Company issued 76,663 shares of common stock to pay for amounts owed to an officer of the Company for notes payable, accounts payable and accrued salaries.

        During 2003, the Company issued 40,357 shares of common stock related to the exercising of warrants.At various dates during 2003, the Company issued 665,803 shares of common stock related to the sale of the Company's common stock.

F-21



NOTE 21—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

        SFAS No. 107 "Disclosure About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short term nature. The carrying amounts of notes payable and longer term debt approximates fair value because those financial instruments bear interest at rates that approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality. None of these financial instruments are held for trading purposes.

NOTE 22—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED):

        In February 2005, the Company began moving out of its temporary office space located in Carlstadt, New Jersey. The items in this office, including inventory, tools and standard office equipment and furniture, is being sent to three different places. These places include a new office space in Las Vegas, Nevada, a new office space in Floral Park, New York, and a contract manufacturer engaged by the Company to store and produce the Company's product.

        In March 2005, the Company will begin subleasing space from Famair, Inc. in Floral Park, New York. The sublease gives the Company space primarily for research, development and technical support activities. The sublease costs the Company $1,000 per month, which includes all utilities, cleaning, phone and internet, and the term is month-to-month.

        On April 11, 2005, the Company will begin leasing roughly 1,500 square feet of office space Las Vegas, Nevada. The lease is between Glenborough IX LLC and a management company owned by the current Chief Executive Officer and was signed on February 7, 2005. On February 10, 2005, the Company's board of directors voted to assume all payments under this lease and indemnify the Chief Executive Officer's management company for all payments and obligations for the lease. The lease includes a payment of $2,728 per month, which includes all cleaning and utilities, except phone and internet service. The term of the lease is one year.

        On February 24, 2005, the Company entered into a financing transaction in which the Company issued $125,000 in senior, secured notes under the same offering through which the Company issued $1,464,806 in notes as described in Note 13. This offering was originally intended to close on December 31, 2004 but the Note Placement Agent and the Company agreed to keep the offering open past the original closing date. After the February 24 closing the offering was terminated.

        The holders of the Notes will promptly be issued 115,385 warrants for every $100,000 Note. With its issuance of $125,000 in Notes, the Company will issue, in aggregate, 144,232 warrants. The Company paid the Note Placement Agent a commission of $12,500 and 14,423 warrants with the same rights and provisions as the Warrants issued to the holders of the Notes.

        On March 28, 2005 the Company extended by one year the maturity dates of secured debts that were issued on October 27, 2004 and February 24, 2005. The extended notes have a total principal value of $1,514,806. $1,414,806 in principal value will now mature on October 26, 2006, and $100,000 in principal value will now mature on February 23, 2007. No other provisions of the secured notes have changed. Interest on the notes of 15% per year will be paid quarterly until maturity.

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. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures provided are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified from prior period presentations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2004 on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-KSB/A 1, Form 10-KSB/A 2 and SB-2.

        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, a recurring deficiency of cash from operations, including a cash deficiency of approximately $1,510,000 from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and lacks sufficient liquidity to continue its operations.

        On July 8, 2005 and on August 31, 2005, the Company closed a private offering of Common Stock which grossed $2,900,000, and produced net proceeds of $2,232,750, from which the Company will use to fund its operations (see Note 5). It is anticipated that such net proceeds will last for up 15 months. 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.

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

NOTE 3—NOTES PAYABLE

        On February 24, 2005, the Company entered into a financing transaction in which the Company issued $125,000 in senior secured notes under the same offering through which the Company issued $1,464,806 in senior secured notes in October 2004. This offering was originally intended to close on December 31, 2004, however, the placement agent and the Company agreed to keep the offering open past the original closing date. After the February 24 closing the offering was terminated. Under the original terms, all of the senior secured notes were to become due one year after issuance, but on March 28, 2005, the Company received consent, from all of the senior secured note holders of the first

F-26



and secondary offering, to extend the maturity date for an additional year. Accordingly, these notes will now mature in October 2006 and February 2007, respectively.

        The holders of the $125,000 in notes issued in February were issued 144,232 warrants, with an exercise price of $0.65 per share. The value of such warrants approximates $24,000 and was reflected as debt discount which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. The Company paid a placement agent a commission of $12,500 and 14,423 warrants which are being amortized over the life of the notes, with the same rights and provisions as the warrants issued to the holders of the notes.

NOTE 4—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        On June 9, 2005 and on June 16, 2005, the Company entered into financing transactions in which the Company issued a $200,000 convertible, unsecured note, and a $100,000 convertible, unsecured note respectively (collectively, the "Bridge Notes") to Summit Energy Ventures LLC, an entity owned entirely by the Company's current Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer that is also one of the Company's principal stockholders. The Notes bear interest of 10% per annum. The Bridge Notes' accrued interest and principal were due on July 23, 2005. The Bridge Notes were converted into equity on July 8, 2005 (see Note 5).

NOTE 5—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

        On July 8, 2005 the Company completed the first closing of private offering of Common Stock (the "Offering") for $2,430,000, which netted approximately $1.8 million. On August 31, 2005 the Company completed the second and final closing under the Offering for $470,000, which netted approximately $400,000. In this offering, the Company issued a total of 14,500,000 shares of Common Stock and 7,250,000 Common Stock Warrants (the "Investor Warrants"). The per share purchase price of the Common Stock was $0.20 (the "Common Stock Purchase Price"). The Investor Warrants have a per share exercise price of $0.44 and expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The value of the Investor Warrants was approximately $990,000.

        Joseph Stevens & Company, Inc. (the "Placement Agent"), a registered broker dealer, acted as the sole placement agent for the Offering. For its services, the Placement Agent received commissions and non-accountable fees totaling $237,900 and 3,450,000 warrants (the "Placement Agent Warrants"). The Placement Agent Warrants have a per share exercise price of $0.20 and expire five years from the date of issuance. The value of the Placement Agent Warrants was approximately $832,000.

        Two convertible notes (the "Bridge Notes") issued by the Company, to Summit Energy Ventures, LLC, on June 9, 2005 and June 16, 2005, in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000, were converted into 1,500,000 shares of common stock and 750,000 Investor Warrants on the same terms as those offered to investors in the Offering and no commissions, fees or securities were issued to the Placement Agent in connection with such conversion.

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

        In conjunction with the Offering, the Company entered into an agreement with the Placement Agent (the "Placement Agency Agreement"). The Placement Agency Agreement requires, among other things, the Company to pay certain fees related to the Offering; provides the Placement Agent a right of first refusal to manage any private or public offering of equity securities of the Company, under certain defined conditions, for a period of one year after the Offering; requires the Company to enter Lock-Up Agreements (as defined below) with all of the Company's directors, officers and significant shareholders; grants the investors in the Offering and the Placement Agent certain registration rights,

F-27



which require the Company to register their common stock as well as the common stock underlying the Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants through filing a registration statement within sixty (60) days of closing the Offering, and make the registration statement effective (the "Effective Date") within one hundred and twenty days (120) of closing the Offering; and grants the common stock, Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants issued through the Offering "weighted average" anti-dilution protection for subsequent issuances of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) at less than the Common Stock Purchase Price.

        On various dates preceding July 8, 2005, the Company entered into lock-up agreements (the "Lock-Up Agreements") with all of the Company's officers, members of the board of directors and shareholders that held, prior to the Offering, more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. Specifically, the persons entering Lock-Up Agreements with the Company included: Nicholas Anderson, Leonard Bellezza, John (BJ) Lackland, Rick Pulford, Raymond Skiptunis, Steven Strasser, Commerce Energy Group, and Summit Energy Ventures LLC. The Lock-Up Agreements restrict all of these Persons from selling any shares of common stock for a period of twelve months from the Effective Date (the "Lock-Up Period"); provided, however, that the Lock-Up Period shall terminate if at any time after the date which is ninety days after the Effective Date, the 20-day average of the closing bid price of the shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board exceeds two hundred percent of the Common Stock Purchase Price of $0.20, or $0.40.

NOTE 6—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On September 15, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously voted to recommend to the shareholders that the Articles of Incorporation be amended to increase the Company's authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. On October 13, 2005, a majority of the shareholders voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized shares.

        On October 17, 2005, the Company settled litigation with the owner of the former office space in Livonia, Michigan. The Company vacated these facilities in 2004. Under the settlement the Company paid its former landlord $50,000 in cash on October 17, 2005, and will pay the former landlord an additional $50,000 in 18 monthly installments of $2,778. After application of the Company's accrued loss contingency reserve, it recognized a loss of approximately $65,000 on its September 30, 2005 financial statements.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that the personal liability of the directors of the Registrant 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 Registrant 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 Registrant 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 Registrant 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 Registrant 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 Registrant 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 Registrant to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or, when so serving at the Registrant'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 Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

        The Registrant 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 Registrant, including the indemnification payable to any director or officer. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by the Registrant.

        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 Registrant 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

        The following table sets forth the fees and expenses, other than any underwriting discounts and commissions incurred by us in connection with the issue and distribution of our common stock being registered. All amounts are estimates except the SEC registration fee.

Accounting Fees     10,000
Printing Fees     6,000
Miscellaneous     1,000

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

        During the last three years, we have issued unregistered securities as described below. None of these transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, except as specified below, or any public offering, and we believe that each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us.

Sales Made to Summit and Commonwealth Energy Corporation and Affiliates

        The following details several different sales of unregistered securities the Registrant made to Summit Ventures, LLC, a private equity firm specializing in energy related technologies ("Summit"). All of the sales were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

        In June 2002, the Registrant issued 2,346,233 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock to Summit for a purchase price of $2,380,000 (net of issuance costs of $120,000). In October 2003, the Registrant issued an additional 982,504 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock to Summit when Summit converted principal and interest of $1,046,896 that was outstanding under a convertible note the Registrant issued to Summit in May 2003.

        The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock provides the holders of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock with protection against dilution. In the event that the Registrant issues shares at a price less than $1.281 per share, the conversion rights of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will be adjusted so that the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock can convert into such number of shares that Summit would have received had it bought common stock at such lower price. Furthermore, the conversion rights of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will also be adjusted in the event that any shares, warrants, options or promissory note is issued with a price or conversion price less than $1.281 per share. The Registrant has asked for and received on October 11, 2004, a waiver of these anti-dilution rights so that the issuance of up to a specific number of options and warrants with exercise prices of no less than $0.65 per share will not trigger these anti-dilution rights. Currently the conversion rights of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock entitle the holder to receive 0.83 shares of common stock for each share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. On April 28, 2005, the Registrant issued 1,204,819 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock to Summit for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 in cash. The requisite percentage of the current holders of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock consented to such issuance and waived the applicability of the anti-dilution provisions of the Series A-1 Stock to it.In the event of a Liquidation Event, the holders of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to two times the price paid by Summit for such stock. Thereafter, the remaining corporate assets would be distributed among the holders of common stock and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis. The existence of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock's anti-dilution provisions may reduce the percentage of common stock held by the public stockholders. Furthermore, the terms on which the Company could obtain additional capital may be adversely affected by the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock's anti-dilution provisions and superior liquidation preference.

        On June 7, 2004, Summit notified the Registrant that it had transferred 1,747,587 of the Registrant's Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,645,404 of the Registrant's common stock to Commonwealth Energy Corporation, a former member of Summit. This transfer made Commonwealth Energy Corporation the Registrant's single largest shareholder.

        On April 28, 2005, the Registrant issued 180,723 shares of Series A-1 stock, convertible into 150,000 shares of Common Stock, and Warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock, to Commerce Energy Group, Inc., an affiliate of Commerce Energy Corporation, in consideration of

II-2



Commerce Energy Group's cancellation of a license agreement with the Registrant. The requisite percentage of current holders consented and waived the anti-dilution provisions.

Sales Made to Purchasers Other than Summit and Commonwealth Energy Corporation and Affiliates

        On April 18, 2005, the Registrant entered into a letter of intent with Joseph Stevens & Company, Inc. ("JS"), providing for the private offering (on a "best efforts" basis) by JS to accredited investors of a minimum of $1,000,000 to a maximum of $3,000,000 in value of Common Stock, together with Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the shares sold in the offering in a transaction intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506 promulgated under Regulation D.

        On various dates from February 2004 to June 2004, the Registrant issued 13,580 shares of common stock to Richard Koch, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant. These shares were issued in conjunction with the settlement of certain accounts payable and accrued expenses related to his employment agreement.

        On various dates from May 2003 to February 2004, the Registrant issued 682,156 shares of common stock to Starz Investments Limited, a Belize company. The Registrant received $1,423,760 for these shares and paid $88,276 in commissions to Burnham Securities. Additionally, the Registrant also issued Burnham Securities 48,303 common stock purchase warrants as compensation related to these transactions. The warrants had strike prices that varied from approximately $1.40 to $1.75. These warrants were exercised cashlessly resulting in 32,958 shares being issued at an effective strike price of zero. The sales of stock to Starz Investments Limited were exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The issuance of the warrants to Burnham Securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Burnham Securities cashlessly exercised the warrants on various dates and received 33,673 shares.

        On February 26, 2004, the Registrant issued 174 shares of common stock to Leonard Bellezza. The shares were issued in exchange for the cancellation of debt owed to Mr. Bellezza in the amount of S800. The issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. Mr. Bellezza is a director of the Registrant.

        On January 8, 2004, the Registrant issued 15,397 shares of common stock to Raymond Skiptunis. The shares were issued in exchange for the cancellation of debt owed to Mr. Skiptunis in the amount of $71,130. The issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. Mr. Skiptunis is a director of the Registrant.

        On various dates from December 2003 to February 27, 2004, the Registrant issued 15,103 shares of common stock to Richard Koch. The shares were issued in exchange for the cancellation of debt owed to Mr. Koch in the amount of $60,866. The issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. At the time, Mr. Koch was the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Registrant.

        On October 3, 2003, the Registrant issued 32,145 shares of common stock to its former Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Shulman. The shares were issued in connection with the settlement of a claim Mr. Shulman made against the Registrant pursuant to a change of control provision in his employment agreement. The issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. Mr. Shulman is an accredited investor.

        On September 30, 2003, the Registrant issued 76,663 shares of common stock to Nicholas Anderson. The shares were issued in exchange for the cancellation of debt owed to Mr. Anderson in the amount of $466,875. The issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. Mr. Anderson is the Chief Technology Officer and a director of the Registrant.

II-3



        On September 30, 2003, the Registrant issued 32,143 shares of common stock to Nicholas Anderson. The shares were issued in connection with the settlement of a potential claim Mr. Anderson had against the Registrant pursuant to a change of control provision in his employment agreement. The issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. Mr. Anderson is the Chief Technology Officer and a director of the Registrant.

        On various dates during the first half of 2003, the Registrant issued 40,357 shares of common stock to various accredited investors in connection with a private placement pursuant to section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The shares were issued for an aggregate consideration of $158,200. The issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D. The investors were all accredited investors.

        In early 2003, the Registrant issued 13,889 shares of common stock to an investment banker for advisory and consulting services. The issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D.

        In June, July and August of 2005, we conducted a private offering of our Common Stock and Placement Warrants, for the issuance of our Common Stock (the "Placement Securities"). 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 Unit consists of (a) a number of shares of Common Stock which is determined by dividing $50,000 by a price equal to 50% of the 5-day average of the closing bid price of the shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the last trading day immediately prior to the closing of the Placement, with a floor on the purchase price of $0.20 and a ceiling on the purchase price of $0.325; and (b) a warrant (each a "Placement Warrant" and, collectively, the "Placement Warrants") to purchase prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary following the closing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock included within each Unit, at a price which is equal to 200% of the 5-day average of the closing sales price of the shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulleting Board prior to the closing, per share of Common Stock. The Placement closed on August 31, 2005 and resulted in gross proceeds of $2,900,000. The Placement requires us (a) to file this Registration Statement with the SEC within 60 days following the final closing of the offering and (b) to use our reasonable best efforts to have such declared effective within 120 days from the final closing of the offering. As part of this Registration Statement, and Placement Securities stemming from the Placement, we are registering 14,500,000 of shares of our Common Stock and 10,700,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Placement Warrants.
