SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 1. Organization and basis of presentation Basis of presentation The accompanying interim condensed financial statements are unaudited,
but in the opinion of management of Save the World Air, Inc. (the
Company), contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at March
31, 2003, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
2003 and 2002, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003
and 2002. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is derived from the
Companys audited financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, although management of the Company believes that the
disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make
the information presented therein not misleading. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2002, as amended, as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expense
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected
for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2003. 11

SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Continued
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 1. Organization and basis of presentation- Continued Description of business Save the World Air, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Nevada on
February 18, 1998 under the name Mandalay Capital Corp. The Company
changed its name to Save the World Air, Inc. on February 11, 1999
following the signing of an agreement by and between the Company and
Jeffrey Alan Muller, the Companys founding executive officer and
director, with respect to the Companys purchase of the Zero Emission
Fuel-Saving Device (the Agreement). Under the terms of the Agreement,
the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Muller
and agreed to pay him a total of $500,000 for the marketing and
distribution rights of the device, and a $10 royalty for every unit of
the device sold. The Company acquired the worldwide exclusive
manufacturing, marketing and distribution rights for the Zero Emission
Fuel-Saving Device (ZEFS) by entering into the Agreement. The ZEFS is
a product, which is fitted to an internal combustion engine and is
expected to reduce carbon monoxide hydrocarbons and toxic exhaust
emissions. The ZEFS is currently undergoing testing to determine the
achievable levels of reduced emissions and commercial viability. Significant matters On December 19, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
filed civil charges in federal district court in New York, New York,
against the Company, Mr. Muller, and others associated with the
promotion of Company stock sales, alleging that they engaged in a
fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for the Companys stock. The SECs complaint alleges that from at least February 1999 through at
least April 2001, the Company and Mr. Muller carried out a fraudulent
promotional campaign using press releases, Internet postings, an
elaborate Internet website, and televised media events to disseminate
false and materially misleading information about the Companys product
and commercial prospects. The complaint also alleges that the Companys
and Mr. Mullers actions led to the artificial inflation of the price
and trading volume of the Company stock, causing its market
capitalization to be as much as $218,728,062. The promotional
information distributed by the Company and Mr. Muller included: (1)
announcements of significant licensing agreements and other important
business developments, and (2) announcements concerning public
automotive demonstrations that purportedly proved or would prove that
the ZEFS materially reduces emissions and improves fuel economy in motor
vehicles. The complaint further alleges that the purported licensing
agreements and other purported 12

SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Continued
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 1. Organization and basis of presentation- Continued Significant matters  Continued business events simply did not exist, and the then current ZEFS
demonstrations did not prove that the ZEFS actually worked as
represented. At the same time that he publicly promoted the Company,
Mr. Muller privately sold millions of shares of the Companys restricted
stock that, if sold at then-prevailing market prices, would have
provided him with over $9 million in personal profits. He concealed
these sales by failing to disclose in SEC filings, as required, any
changes in his beneficial ownership in the Company. The SEC complaint
also states that the Company and Mr. Muller made at least nine SEC
filings that contain false financial statements and disclosures. In October 2001, Edward Masry became the Companys new President and
Chief Executive Officer. Because of the nature and scope of the SECs
allegations regarding the Companys financial statements and SEC
filings, Masry has assembled a new management team and newly constituted
board of directors for the Company, in addition to selecting new
independent auditors and corporate counsel. The Company entered into discussions with the SEC concerning the SECs
complaint and negotiated a consent order in which it agreed, among other
terms, to observe all securities laws. Based upon this consent order
and related judgment, the proceedings against the Company were
terminated. The Company has since caused an investigation into the
facts and circumstances surrounding the allegations in the SECs
complaint. Based upon review of the history leading to the filing of
the complaint, the Companys board of directors authorized the filing of
cross-claims against Mr. Muller and others (including ten offshore
companies) seeking disgorgement of stock obtained from the Company, to
invalidate the transfer of several million shares to Mr. Muller and
family members for inadequate or no consideration, rescission of stock
options transferred to Mr. Muller and/or his family members, for the
transfer of rights to patent claims from Mr. Muller to the Company and
rescission of royalty rights held by Mr. Muller and/or his family
members. Upon filing of the cross complaint, in July 2002, the Company
obtained a temporary restraining order against Mr. Muller which, among
other things, prohibits Mr. Muller from serving as an officer or
director of the Company and enjoins Mr. Muller and others from selling,
conveying, transferring or encumbering any shares which Mr. Muller
controls or in which he has an interest. The Company believes the
temporary restraining order may affect as many as seventeen million
shares or more of the Companys stock, in the form of issued shares and
option rights. In the course of the legal proceedings, the Company has obtained
complete control over all ownership claims to the ZEFS patent rights and
all royalty interests previously held and claimed by Mr. Muller and
certain others. 13

SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Continued
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 1. Organization and basis of presentation- Continued Significant matters  Continued The Company has continued to prosecute its claims and has substantially
completed all pretrial procedures in preparation for the disposition of
the case through dispositive pretrial motions and/or eventual trial on
the merits of the claims. Based upon the substantial discovery
completed and other evidence obtained to date, the Company believes
there is very little risk of an adverse decision on the merits of its
cross complaint. Based on the status of current legal proceedings, the Company believes
it will not have to pay $1,017,208 of advances due to Mr. Muller. The
Company also believes that the option Mr. Muller holds to purchase
10,000,000 shares of the Companys stock will be cancelled (see Note 3). Development stage enterprise The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting
by Development Stage Enterprises. All losses accumulated since the
inception of the Company have been considered as part of the Companys
development stage activities. A team has been assembled for the research and development of the
technology and potential markets for the ZEFS and to establish
relationships with potential customers. Significant design work has been
completed, and patent applications have been filed in 64 countries.
There is no assurance that any of the filed patents will be granted.
The Company is continuing in its product development efforts and several
studies are underway to evaluate the effectiveness of the ZEFS in
eliminating pollutants and emissions from internal combustion engines.
The Company has had no sales to date. As such, the Company continues to
remain a development stage enterprise. The ability of the Company to
commercialize its products will depend on, among other things, the
Companys ability to demonstrate the merits of the ZEFS and develop
markets and distribution channels. 14

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 2. Net loss per share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock
that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing diluted
earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding
options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase
common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and
warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method
only when the average market price of the common stock during the period
exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. For the three
months ended March 31, 2003 and the year ended December 31, 2002, the
dilutive impact of outstanding stock options of 14,000,000 and
14,000,000, respectively, and 3,900,000 warrants in 2003 has been
excluded because their impact on the loss per share is antidilutive. 3. New accounting pronouncements In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3: Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS
No. 146 requires that a liability be recognized for those costs only
when the liability is incurred, that is, when it meets the definition of
a liability in the FASBs conceptual framework. SFAS No. 146 also
establishes fair value as the objective for initial measurement of
liabilities related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 is
effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with earlier adoption encouraged. Management does
not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a material impact on
the Companys financial position or results of operations. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148
amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123. If an entity elects to adopt the recognition provisions
of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation in a fiscal year beginning before December 16, 2003, that
change in accounting principle shall be 15

prospective method, or (iii) the retroactive restatement method as
defined in SFAS No. 148. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2002. Since the Company has elected to
continue accounting for stock-based compensation under APB No. 25, the
adoption of SFAS No. 148 has had no impact to the Companys financial
position or results of operations. The Companys financial statement
disclosures have been designed to conform to the new disclosure
requirements prescribed by SFAS No. 148. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an
issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a
liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The provisions of SFAS
No. 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified
after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the
first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for
mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities,
which are subject to the provisions of this statement for the first
fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2004. The Company believes
that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will not have an impact on its
financial position or results of operations. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,  which clarifies the
application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements, relating to consolidation of certain entities.
FIN 46 requires identification of a companys participation in variable
interest entities (VIEs), which are defined as entities with a level of
invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to
permit it to operate on a standalone basis. For entities identified as
a VIE, FIN 46 sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation
based on an assessment of which party to the VIE (if any) bears a
majority of the exposure to its expected losses, or stands to gain from
a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46 also sets forth certain
disclosures regarding interests in VIEs that are deemed significant,
even if consolidation is not required. The Company is not currently
participating in, or invested in any VIEs, as defined in FIN 46. 16

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Continued
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 4. Certain relationships and related transactions Due to founding executive officer All of the marketing and manufacturing rights for the ZEFS were acquired
from Mr. Muller, for 5,000,000 shares of common stock, $500,000 and a
$10 royalty for each unit sold (see discussion below), pursuant to the
Agreement entered into in December 1998, by and between the Company and
Mr. Muller. Working capital advances in the amount of $517,208 and
payment in the amount of $500,000 for marketing and distribution rights
of the ZEFS are due to Mr. Muller. Such amounts are interest free and
do not have any due dates for payment. In January 2000, the Company entered into an agreement offering Mr.
Muller and Lynne Muller, Mr. Mullers wife, the option to purchase
5,000,000 shares each at $0.10 per share as consideration for work
performed for the Company. Mrs. Muller subsequently transferred her
option to Mr. Muller. In connection with the Companys legal proceedings against Mr. Muller,
the Company is attempting to obtain a judgment that will relieve the
Company of $1,017,208, which represents all amounts due Mr. Muller.
These amounts include the $500,000 due for the marketing and
distribution rights of the ZEFS and the working capital advances of
$517,208. As described in the Significant Matters section of Note 1,
the Company has already been relieved of the $10 royalty interest that
Mr. Muller held for each unit sold. In addition, the Company is also
attempting to obtain a judgment that will cancel the options to purchase
10,000,000 shares granted to Mr. and Mrs. Muller, collectively. Based
on the status of current legal proceedings, the Company does not believe
that it will have to pay Mr. Muller the $500,000 for the rights to the
ZEFS device and the $517,208 of advances. The Company also believes
that the option Mr. Muller holds to purchase 10,000,000 shares of the
Companys stock will be cancelled and no longer valid. Due to related parties Masry & Vititoe, a law firm in which Edward Masry is a partner, has
advanced $612,640 and $553,022 as of March 31, 2003 and December 31,
2002 to the Company for working capital purposes. The advances payable
to Masry & Vititoe were allocations to the Company for shared expenses,
primarily payroll. These advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing,
and are due on demand. These advances have subsequently been converted
to common stock in the second quarter of 2003. 17

Overview

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this
Form 10-QSB and the Financial Statements and notes thereto
contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2002.

The company is a development stage company that has not yet commenced operations and does not generate revenue. The companys current focus is on research and development of proprietary devices that can be installed on motor vehicles and which are designed to reduce harmful emissions,  improve fuel efficiency and
improve performance. Our prototype device is called ZEFS. We have devoted the bulk of our efforts to complete the design and development of our production models and raise the financing required to do so and fund our expenses.

We anticipate that these research and development efforts will continue for at least the remainder of 2003. We do not envision generating any revenue in 2003. We  will need to complete the current round of financing that began in November 2002, in order to raise the additional capital needed to fund continuing research and development activities and meet our operating expenses for the remainder of 2003.

Results of Operation

To date, we have not generated any revenues and our business is in the
development stage. We have focused our efforts on verifying and developing the
ZEFS device.

Our operating costs and expenses consist primarily of research and
development expenses and general and administrative expenses. We expect our
operating costs to increase once we begin to manufacture and market the ZEFS
device, which we do not expect to occur earlier than the fourth quarter of 2004. Our research and development expenses include contractual payments to
 RAND Corporation, consultants fees, capital expenditures, cost of services and supplies
We expect our research and development costs to increase as we continue to
develop the ZEFS device and develop new applications of our technology.

Our general and administrative expenses include compensation expenses
related to executive and other administrative personnel, facility lease, the
costs of our insurance and legal and accounting support. We expect our general
and administrative expenses to increase as we expand our infrastructure in
support of our anticipated increased operations, which we do not expect to occur earlier than the fourth quarter of 2004.

We had a net loss of
$606,001 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This
compares to a loss of $332,139 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The
increase in loss is primarily attributable to an increase in research
and development expenses as a result of the agreement we entered into
with RAND Corporation in December 2002. We expect an increase in net loss through 2003 attributable to increased general and administrative expenses and commencement of marketing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred negative cash flow from operations in the developmental
stage since our inception in 1998. As of March 31, 2003 we had cash of
$363,212 and an accumulated deficit of $8,457,546. Our 2003 negative
operating cash flows were funded primarily through Masry & Vititoe, a law firm
in which our Chief Executive Officer and President, Edward Masry, is a member,
and a private financing that we commenced in November 2002 and is ongoing. We anticipate
additional operating losses, which may increase, through at least the remainder of 2003 as we
expand our research and development program without the benefit of revenue.

We believe that we have sufficient cash to fund our operations through
June 30, 2004. To the extent our capital resources are insufficient to meet
our future capital requirements, we will need to raise additional capital or
incur new debt to fund our operations. However, there can be no assurance that
additional equity or debt financing will be available. If we are unable to
obtain additional capital, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or
eliminate our research and development programs, for at least the next 12 months or relinquish rights to technologies that we might otherwise seek to
develop or commercialize.

Capitalization

In the action by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) against Jeffrey Muller, the founder and former sole director of the Company, and others, we seek, among other relief, the cancellation
of all shares of our common stock controlled, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Muller and his affiliates, options to purchase an additional 10,000,000 shares of our common stock, and Mr. Mullers original royalty agreement. See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceeding. The
cancellation of these shares and options would have a significant positive effect on our capitalization.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is based upon our Financial Statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. The preparation of these Financial Statements and related
disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an on-going basis, our
estimates and judgments, including those related to the useful life of the
assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical
accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in
our Financial Statements. The SEC considers an entitys most critical
accounting policies to be those policies that are both most important to the
portrayal of a companys financial condition and results of operations and those that require
managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain at
the time of estimation. We believe the following critical accounting policies,
among others, require significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our Financial Statements:

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation to employees as defined by using
the intrinsic-value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion
(APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

We account for stock option and warrant grants issued to non-employees
using the guidance of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
and EITF No. 96-18: Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services, whereby the fair value of such option and warrant grants is
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the earlier of the
date at which the non-employees performance is completed or a performance
commitment is reached.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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. Certain significant estimates were made in connection with
preparing our financial statements as described in Note 1 of our Financial
Statements. See Item 1, Part I, Financial Statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS
No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure method of accounting
for stock-based compensation. It also amends the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 123. If an entity elects to adopt the recognition provisions of the
fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation in a fiscal
year beginning before December 16, 2003, that change in accounting principle
shall be reported using either the (i) prospective method, (ii) the modified
prospective method, or (iii) the retroactive restatement method as defined in
SFAS No. 148. SFAS no. 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2002. Since the Company has elected to continue accounting for stock-based
compensation under APB No. 25, the adoption of SFAS No. 148 has had no impact
to the Companys financial position or results of operations. The Companys
financial statement disclosures have been designed to conform to the new
disclosure requirements prescribed by SFAS No. 148.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.
SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is
within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The
provisions of SFAS No. 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into
or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of
the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily
redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities., which are subject to
the provisions of this statement for the first fiscal period beginning after
December 15, 2004. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will
not have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: Our management
evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-QSB. Based
on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and
Exchange Commission rules and forms. It should be noted that the design of any
system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions,
regardless of how remote.

(b)  Changes in internal control over financial reporting: There was no
change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On December 19,
2001, the SEC filed civil charges in the United States Federal District Court, Southern District of
New York, against us, our former President and then sole director Jeffrey Muller,
and others, alleging that we and the other defendants were engaged in
a fraudulent scheme to promote our stock. The SEC complaint alleged
the existence of a promotional campaign using press releases,
Internet postings, an elaborate website, and televised media events
to disseminate false and materially misleading information as part of
a fraudulent scheme to manipulate the market for stock in our
corporation, which was then controlled by Mr. Muller. On March 22,
2002, we signed a Consent to Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction
and Other Relief in settlement of this action as against the
corporation only, which the court approved on July 2, 2002. Under this settlement, we were not required to
pay any fines or restitution. The SECs action continues against Mr. Muller and
others.

On July 2, 2002,
after an investigation by our newly constituted board of
directors, we filed a cross-complaint in the SEC action against Mr. Muller
and others seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement and financial restitution
for a variety of acts and omissions in connection with sales of our stock and
other transactions occurring between 1998 and 2002. We are also seeking
cancellation of such shares and Mr. Mullers stock option agreement and royalty
arrangement. Among other things, we allege that Mr. Muller and certain others sold
stock without consideration and without registration under federal securities
laws; engaged in self-dealing and entered into various undisclosed
related-party transactions; misappropriated for their own use proceeds from
sales of our stock; and entered into various undisclosed arrangements regarding
the control, voting and disposition of their stock.

On July 30, 2002, the U.S. Federal District Court, Southern District of
New York, granted our application for a preliminary injunction
against Mr. Muller and others, which prevents  Mr. Muller and other cross-defendants from selling,
transferring, or encumbering any of our assets and property, from selling or
transferring any of our stock that they may own or control, or from taking any
action to injure us or our business and shareholders. The order also
prevents Mr. Muller from exercising any control over our corporation
and serving as an officer or director of our company. While we believe that we have valid claims,
there can be no assurance that an adverse result or settlement would not have a
material adverse effect on our financial position or cash flow.

In the course of the
litigation, we have obtained control over Mr. Mullers
patent rights to the ZEFS device. Under a Buy-Sell Agreement
between Jeffrey Muller and us dated December 29, 1998, Mr. Muller, who was listed
on the ZEFS devise patent application as the inventor of the ZEFS device,
granted us the marketing, manufacturing and distribution rights to the ZEFS
device. In conjunction with these proceedings, a settlement agreement
was reached whereby the $10 per unit royalty previously due to Mr.
Muller was terminated and replaced with a $.20 per unit royalty
payable to the bankruptcy trustee. On November 7, 2002, under our
settlement with the Muller bankruptcy trustee, the trustee
transferred all ownership and legal rights to this international
patent application for the ZEFS device to us.

The litigation
against Mr. Muller and others has been pending before the Court
and will be scheduled for further proceedings and final disposition by summary
judgment motions within the near future. Although the outcome of these motions
cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, we are optimistic
that the Courts ruling will either significantly narrow the issues for any later trial
or will result in a disposition of the case in a manner favorable to the
company. We contend that we are entitled to a judgment canceling all
of the approximately 8,716,710 shares of our common stock which we
believe are controlled, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Muller,
divesting Mr. Muller of any right to exercise options for 10,000,000 shares
of our stock, the entry of an existing preliminary injunction to
prevent Mr. Muller from any involvement with the company and a
monetary judgement against Muller and others in the amount of several
million dollars. While we believe that we have
valid claims, there can be no assurance that an adverse result or
settlement would not have a material adverse effect on our financial
position or cash flow.

Item 2. Changes in Securities

From November 2002 through October 2003, we issued 13,917,414 shares of
our common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate 13,442,414 shares of
common stock for approximately $2.8 million in cash from a group of private
investors, converting $500,000 in debt held by various lenders and legal
services valued at $20,853. The net proceeds from the financing equals
$2,548,286 after deductions of commissions. We issued two types of warrants in
this private financing. In November 2002, we issued warrants to purchase an
aggregate 950,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price per share of $0.20
exercisable within 18 months. From December 2002 through October 2003, we
issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 12,492,414 shares of common stock at a
per share purchase price of $0.50 exercisable within five years. The issuance
of shares and warrants described above was made in reliance on the exemptions
from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
Act), as amended. We made no public solicitation in connection with the
issuance of the above-mentioned securities. We relied on representation from
the recipients of the securities that they purchased the securities for
investment only and not with a view to any distribution thereof and that they
were aware of our business affairs and financial condition and had sufficient
information to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision regarding their
acquisition of the securities.
