PART I   ITEM 1BUSINESS Vision was incorporated in Florida on May 11, 2004, as Cheetah Consulting, Inc. and on December 16, 2008 changed its name to Vision Industries Corp. The Company has its corporate office at 879 W. 190th Street, Suite 457, Gardena, CA 90248.  Our telephone number is (310) 450-0299; the Companys virtual address is www.VisionMotorCorp.com. We are a developer of zero emission hydrogen fuel cell/electric powered vehicles and will be providing fueling solutions by building, owning, and operating hydrogen fueling stations. Vision's proprietary hydrogen fuel cell / electric drive system combines the superior acceleration of a battery powered electric vehicle with the extended range provided by a hydrogen fuel cell. Vision is the creator of the TyranoTM, the world's first hybrid electric/hydrogen fuel cell-powered heavy-duty Class 8 truck, featuring zero emissions, reduced operating cost, and superior performance. Vision is also in prototype development of the CheetahTM, which is intended to be the world's first hydrogen fuel cell/ plug-in electric-powered supercar, featuring zero emissions and 0 to 60 MPH acceleration, which is faster than production Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches and the battery powered Tesla.  In addition, Vision and Capacity of Texas, Inc. have joined forces to build a Zero Emissions Terminal Tractor (ZETTTM). The ZETT will be built on Capacity's PHETTTM platform and powered by the Vision plug-in electric/hydrogen fuel cell technology. The PHETTTM was the worlds 1st Hybrid Terminal Tractor. Description of the Business We are a company focused on marketing these zero-emission Vehicles to a variety of alternative energy and green-minded individuals, OEM dealer networks, as well as for sale to end-user consumers. We are uniquely positioned to leverage our knowledge and experience in alternative fuels, electronic controls, hybrid drive systems, and hydrogen handling and refueling. At the present time, third party components exist for the various products that Vision installs in the Vehicles and the Vehicles have not required substantial design modifications or further engineering to bring the Vehicles to market. We believe acquisition of supplies, costs of assembly and other costs related to the production of the Vehicles will require the investment of a material amount of our current and future assets.
We believe that a substantial commercial market will begin to develop for these products over the next two (2) to four (4) years. The year 2015, has been touted by many energy analyst to be seminal moment in which the cleantech transportation infrastructure will be sufficient enough to allow hybrid vehicle technology to gain a significant foothold in the national transportation scene. In advance of that date, a number of automotive and industrial manufacturers are developing alternative clean power systems using fuel cells or clean burning gaseous fuels in order to decrease fuel costs, lessen dependence on crude oil, and reduce harmful emissions. Our products for the clean power market, featuring off-the-shelf components that provide fuel storage, fuel delivery, and electronic vehicle control systems, will compete directly with other OEM offerings. The current market for our vehicles is the emerging world market for passenger, fleet, industrial, and military vehicles powered by fuel cells and hybrid engines using hydrogen. Vision plans to continue the development of our electric/hydrogen hybrid vehicles to meet market opportunities. We are focusing our alt-fuel enabling technology marketing efforts on North America, particularly Southern California. Vision plans to continue the   2

development of our products to meet market opportunities. Vision also plans to expand our capabilities and products to new customers. Depending on the popularity of our product, which is somewhat dependent on market forces, that is, the cost of gasoline, diesel and the public acceptance of alternate fuels, it may be necessary for Vision to carry significant amounts of inventory to meet rapid delivery requirements of customers or to assure ourselves of a continuous allotment of goods from suppliers. Vision intends to employ policies, wherever possible, giving us the right to return excess or obsolete supplies to our suppliers. We do not intend to provide extended payment terms or credit to our customers; we will rely on normal credit arrangements including the acceptance by us of checks, credit and debit cards, and cash for payment from our customers. Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Vehicle Industry Overview The emerging fuel cell and hydrogen vehicle industry offers a technological option to increasing worldwide energy costs, the long-term availability of petroleum reserves and environmental concerns. Fuel cell, bio-diesel, electric and hydrogen hybrid vehicles have emerged as a potential alternative to existing conventional internal combustion engine vehicles because of their higher efficiency, reduced noise and lower tailpipe emissions. Fuel cell industry participants are currently targeting the transportation and hydrogen refueling infrastructure markets. We believe that our hydrogen and hybrid enabling products of fuel storage, fuel delivery, and battery and electronic control systems along with our vehicle-level system integration experience can be effectively applied in these markets. A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that produces electricity by combining hydrogen with oxygen from the air. This electrochemical reaction occurs silently and without combustion, with useable heat and water as the only by-products. The system can use as its base fuel either pure hydrogen or hydrogen derived from hydrocarbon fuels, such as methanol, natural gas or petroleum, using a device called a reformer. A reformer breaks down hydrocarbon fuels using heat and a catalytic process. Regardless of the fuel used to provide hydrogen, the fuel cell system requires on-board hydrogen storage, fuel delivery, and electronic controls. Furthermore, keys to optimizing the performance of a fuel cell are proper metering and delivery of hydrogen fuel and air to fuel cell stacks and efficient storage of the fuel to maximize total operation time. The use of hydrogen as a fuel of the future has been gaining support worldwide. Domestically, former President George W. Bush promoted his goal of achieving energy independence for the United States in tandem with dramatic improvements in the quality of the environment, as he first expressed in his 2003 State of the Union Address. Furthermore, Energy Policy Act of 2005 as enacted into law on July 29, 2005, established a comprehensive national policy that includes provisions intended to accelerate the implementation of hydrogen as an energy carrier. The Act authorized a $3.2 billion dollar investment through 2010 by the federal government towards the development, demonstration, and ultimate commercialization of these alt-fuel technologies. The funding was intended to support the research, development, and demonstration of hydrogen production, storage, distribution and dispensing, and transport. The Energy Bill also supports the research, development, and demonstration of fuel cell systems for stationary and portable power generation as well as for transportation applications, including light- and heavy-duty vehicles. Furthermore, the Act has also set goals for the production and deployment of not less than 100,000 hydrogen-fueled vehicles in the United States by 2010 and 2,500,000 hydrogen-fueled vehicles by 2020. The number of fuel cell and hydrogen demonstration programs is increasing worldwide, other examples which include the California Fuel Cell Partnership, California Stationary Fuel Cell Collaborative, Compressed Hydrogen Infrastructure Program, Clean Energy Partnership in Berlin, Controlled Hydrogen Fleet & Infrastructure Demonstration and Validation Project, Fuel Cell Bus Club, Japan Hydrogen & Fuel Cell   3

Demonstration Project, Hydrogen Highway Network in California, BC Hydrogen Highway in British Columbia, AQMD Test Fleet, Hi Way Initiative, Ruhr-Alps-Milan Hydrogen Supply Chain Integrated Project, Hydrogen Corridor in Canada, Norwegian HyNor Project, Illinois Hydrogen Highway, The Northern H in the Upper Midwest, and Singapores Initiative in Energy Technology. Fuel cell and hydrogen-powered hybrid vehicles are being designed to provide clean, quiet power for a variety of applications in transportation, fleet, industrial, and military vehicles. In the automotive market, each of DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, and Toyota Motor Corporation has unveiled fuel cell vehicles with mass production of fuel cell vehicles anticipated by General Motors and Daimler to begin by 2012 to 2015, and by Toyota and Hyundai to begin by 2015. Allied Business Intelligence (ABI), a technology research and consultancy firm that publishes intelligence on the automotive industry and energy markets, projects that mass production of fuel cell vehicles will begin in 2010 and that the industry will produce approximately 500,000 fuel cell vehicles per year by 2015. Hydrogen-powered hybrid and other hydrogen vehicles can begin to drive the demand for the refueling infrastructure of this clean fuel, which is a critical component to fuel cell vehicle commercialization. The South Coast Air Quality Management District located in Diamond Bar, Southern California, is positioning the Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties to be ready for fuel cell vehicles by initiating a hydrogen-powered hybrid program. In January 2006, 30 hydrogen hybrid Toyota Prii were obtained by fleets located in Southern California. The objective of this effort, funded by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, was to stimulate the early demand for hydrogen, expedite the development of infrastructure, and provide a bridge to fuel cell vehicles. We believe this program has helped expedite the expansion of a hydrogen infrastructure and bridge the technology gap between conventional gasoline vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, as this technology of the future is being commercialized. We believe that this can be the model for other markets where fuel cell vehicles will emerge, such as, North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, and thus we intend to initially focus our marketing efforts of hydrogen hybrid systems in Southern California at this time. We believe that additional marketing opportunities will develop in other areas, including forklifts, golf carts, recreational vehicles, auxiliary power units, and military applications. The commercialization of fuel cells and alt-fuel conversion kits in all of these markets will generate, and require, across-the-board cost reductions for the entire system, including the fuel cell stack, fuel system, and assembly, making the kits more attractive to end purchasers. We hope to achieve cost reduction targets in volume production. Commercialization of fuel cell vehicles is dependent upon establishing cost-effective on-board fuel storage solutions, hydrogen storage and handling codes and standards, battery technology and a hydrogen-refueling infrastructure. Safety is also a primary concern when dealing with highly compressed gases. The fuel storage systems must be able to withstand rigorous testing as individual components and as part of the fuel system on the vehicle. Safety concerns apply to the fuel system as a whole, including the tank, regulator and fuel lines, all of which need to comply with applicable safety standards. Additionally, to ensure widespread commercialization, the fuel storage and delivery systems need to provide adequate range, be of acceptable size and shape, and perform similarly to conventionally fueled vehicles without unacceptably high cost. We believe interim steps will be taken by governments to provide initial refueling infrastructure for demonstration fleets, government programs, commercial fleet operators, and initial consumer commercialization. This initial infrastructure could include mobile refueling units, compact stationary refueling units and bulk transport trailers.   4

Our Business (1) Principal Products or Services and Their Markets Vision Industries Corp., is a California-based manufacturer of zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell | electric hybrid powered Class 8 trucks and terminal tractors. Vision operates in the short-haul, drayage trucking category (the movement of containerized cargo over a short distance, typically less than 50 miles, from a port to an intermodal facility, such as a rail yard). The Companys  products include the TyranoTM, a short-haul Class 8 tractor, and the ZETT, a single axle terminal tractor co-developed with Capacity of Texas, the world’s largest maker of terminal tractors. Vision also has roots in developing one of the world’s first hydrogen-powered supercars, the Cheetah. The Company currently markets its vehicles to drayage operators at the twin Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and plans to expand its target market nationally to all fleet operators, owner-operators and OEMs.  Concurrently, Vision has been courted by national retailers and global logistics companies to test its on-road vehicles in the short-haul, distribution center-to-store duty-cycle. The value to these diverse markets is the vehicles superior performance, zero emissions and reduced operating costs. Vision is uniquely positioned to leverage its knowledge and experience in alternative fuels (alt-fuels), vehicle controls, hybrid drive systems, and hydrogen handling and refueling capabilities to support the growing hybrid vehicle market. Vision intends to become the one-stop solution that can provide a truly pollution-free and alternative energy conversion solution for todays drivers.  To accomplish this we will be marketing the following alternative energies vehicles: 1.  TyranoTM The Vision TyranoTM is a first-of-a-kind dual-propulsion, Class 8 Zero-Emission Hydrogen Fuel Cell / Electric Hybrid heavy-duty truck designed to move containerized cargo from port to rail yard.  With a GCVWR of 80,000 lbs. the TyranoTM uses Lithium-ion batteries to power an electric motor and Hydrogen fuel cells to extend its range. The core technologies currently incorporated into the TyranoTM is a proprietary power management system that controls and monitors a battery pack’s State-of-Charge (SOC), the energy demands of an electric drivetrain, along with precise usage of hydrogen gas (H2) from its unique storage technology. The Vision TyranoTM was designed for short-distance (<50 mile) containerized cargo movement with trade corridor communities in mind.  It is extremely quiet, thus allowing fleet operators to pass through residential areas, move at night or in the pre-dawn hours of the morning.  Its biggest value proposition is that it is a zero-emission vehicle utilizing an alternative fuel source that is abundantly available within the United States. The benefit to the end-user will be:  · Superior performance, up to 3,300 ft./lbs. of torque (peak) - over 2.4x the pulling power of conventional diesel engines;  · Reduced operating costs of 35-45% compared to current diesel-powered Class 8 trucks;  · Extended commercial range of 200 miles, capable of servicing two full shifts per day. In a joint-development project with the Port of Long Beach, Vision was awarded $425,000 in grants under the Technology Advancement Program (TAP). Vision delivered its first Tyrano on July 22, 2011 to Total Transportation Services, Inc. (TTSI), a national leader in clean fleet drayage. In the same month, TTSI presented Vision with a Letter of Intent to purchase the first 100 Tyrano Class 8 trucks,   5

with an option to purchase an addition 300 vehicles for a total contract value of $108MM.  
The TyranoTM is currently undergoing early-stage revenue service testing at the Port of Long Beach. 2.  Vision (ZETT) Terminal Tractors The Zero-Emission Terminal Tractor (ZETT) is a Class 8 facility-only Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Hybrid vehicle. It has a 130,000 lbs. GCVWR and is designed to move the really-heavy containerized cargo inside a Port facility or central distribution center.  The ZETT is designed to operate for two full eight-hour shifts with refillable hydrogen tanks.  Like its TyranoTM sibling, its use Lithium-ion batteries as its main power supply and uses hydrogen fuel cells to recharge its batteries on-the-fly.
On April 22, 2011, Vision was awarded a $1,275,000 contract by The Port of Los Angeles to retrofit 15 short-range, port-owned electric terminal tractors with their proprietary Hydrogen fuel cell | electric hybrid system. 3.   Cheetah The Cheetah Supercar is a zero-emission passenger sports car prototype, using Visions proprietary hybrid hydrogen drive system which can deliver 425 horsepower and 1,350 FT /LBS of torque. (2) Distribution Methods of the Services The primary delivery of our services will be through our planned location in Long Beach, California. Through the companys relationship with the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Vision has been introduced to the twenty-two (22) largest drayage fleet operators in the country.  Combined, they account for a large portion of the 16,000 trucks operating in and around the Port system.  Vision plans to exploit its unique first-to-market position in the largest and busiest deep-water Port in the United States, and build a clientele of fleets willing to upgrade their diesel-emission trucks to the zero-emission solution to meet State and local emission mandates. As the company’s production book increase, Vision will rely on OEM partners to manufacture and assemble the TyranoTM for distribution.  Vision will also rely on its sales force, strategic partners and third-party vendors to: (a) sell its vehicles; (b) develop new customers; and (c) consummate joint application development programs with leading OEMs in its target markets. (3) Status of Any Publicly Announced New Product or Service Vision plans to continue to develop our alt-fuel technologies for the transportation industry, including both civilian and military applications. (4) Our Competition We believe that substantial commercial markets will begin to develop for these products over the next two (2) to four (4) years. However, we also believe that these Vehicles will reach significant production volumes only if fuel cell /electric hybrid vehicles enter the marketplace in sufficient quantities to create a demand for a broad network of hydrogen fueling stations owned and operated by others. There are a number of automotive and industrial manufacturers developing alternative power systems using fuel cells or clean burning gaseous fuels. Vision will be competing with other OEM offerings.   6

The current market for our vehicles is the emerging world market for passenger, fleet, industrial, and military vehicles powered by fuel cells and hybrid engines using hydrogen. Vision plans to continue the development of our electric/hydrogen hybrid vehicles to meet market opportunities. Initially, we are focusing our marketing efforts in North America, particularly Southern California. Vision plans to continue the development of our products to meet market opportunities. Vision also plans to expand our capabilities and products to new customers. Because Vision does not manufacture fuel cells, fuel reformers or the parts use in our vehicles, Vision may face competition from traditional automotive component suppliers, such as Bosch, Delphi, Siemens, and Visteon.  Vision believes that our competitors have technology leadership and integration expertise derived from many years of experience with vehicle development and assembly programs, whereas we are a recently formed company with no track-record. Our foreseeable competitors typically focus on individual components, whereas we will focus on integrating pre-existing components into the best-vehicle configurations. A critical element for hydrogen-based vehicles and OEM alternative fuel vehicles is fuel storage. Vision will use third-party suppliers of fuel storage systems, primarily high-pressure gaseous storage cylinders for hydrogen. Manufacturers of the systems include Quantum, Dynetek Industries Ltd., Lincoln Composites and Structural Composites Inc. Liquid hydrogen, metal hydrides and on-board liquid fuel reformation may also provide alternatives to high-pressure storage. Companies pursuing these competing technologies include Linde AG, Air Products, Energy Conversion Devices, and Asemblon.  We have entered into an exclusive license agreement with Asemblon for their proprietary patented HYDRNOLTM. Most of these potential competitors have been in business longer than us and have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources than we have. We expect that we will face increased competition in the future as new competitors enter the market and advanced technologies become more readily available. In addition, consolidation in our industry may also affect our ability to compete. (5) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials At this time we do not see a critical dependence on any supplier(s) that could adversely affect our operations.  The parts required are typically found stocked in automotive retail outlets.  Substantially all components for the vehicle specialty equipment products and conversion kit business will be purchased from outside suppliers as off-the-shelf parts, including the electronic computer interface parts. Assemblage of the Vehicles will be subject to our supervision and control. Because the hardware of our products is not and will be not be designed and/or engineered by us, but is and will be off-the-shelf, we do not expect any problems with respect to availability of parts. However, from time to time we may experience delays in delivery of certain components or materials from suppliers. Our fuel system assembly activities are expected to include kit system assembly and system installation. We have located partners for the assemblage of the majority of our components and intend to outsource the assembly of our vehicles. Our vendor and service provider supply base will be highly diversified, with none of our suppliers expected to represent more than 20% of our raw material purchases. All components will be installed on vehicles at designated installation facilities or at approved locations by certified and/or trained personnel. (6) Dependence on Limited Customers We will derive revenue from the sale of our vehicles to ultimate consumers and users, or to businesses. We will rely on our sales force, strategic partners and third party vendors to sell our Vehicles, develop new customers and consummate joint application development programs with leading OEMs in our target markets.  We do not   7


Quick Link to Table of Contents


have to rely on any one or a limited number of customers for our business. While our target market is limited to California, sales will expand nationwide as third parties begin to sell our products nationwide. (7) Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts Development and protection of Visions intellectual property is not perceived to be crucial to our future success. Visions proprietary processes and methodology are secretive and valuable and will rely on trade secret laws to protect these intellectual property rights. Although we recognize the importance of patent and trade secret laws and, when appropriate, intend to seek the advantages and benefits these laws offer, we believe that our growth and future success will be more dependent on factors such as the knowledge, experience and expertise of our personnel, new product introductions, continued emphasis on research and development and creation of know-how. Should we seek patents for our products, processes, or business methodology, we do not know whether any patents will be issued from our patent applications or business methodology or, if patents are obtained, whether or not the scopes of such patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technologies or processes. Even if we obtain patents, our patents may not provide us a competitive advantage. Competitors may successfully challenge the validity and/or scope of our patents and trademarks. We also rely on a combination of trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property laws and various contract rights to protect our proprietary rights. However, we do not believe our intellectual property rights provide significant protection from competition. We believe that establishing and maintaining strong strategic relationships with valued customers and OEMs, and establishing market-share and brand-name recognition, are the most significant factors protecting us from new competitors. Should we enter into any strategic alliances with one or more of the major automotive companies, we expect that each party would retain the ownership of its existing technology and jointly own technology that is jointly created under any alliance. It is unclear whether jointly owned patents will be received or applied for under any alliance. Under an alliance, each party is usually expected to grant the other certain exclusive and/or nonexclusive licenses with respect to certain intellectual property developed by such party prior to and during the term of an alliance and also with respect to the jointly owned intellectual property. During the term of an alliance, we would also expect to be subject to certain transfer restrictions with respect to the pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, and sale or licensing of certain intellectual property. Further, we expect to be obligated to share with any joint venture partner a portion of any revenues generated from the sale of products for applications. At the present time we own domain names, trademarks, licenses, royalty agreements, and other revenue producing agreements (other than the usual business license). At the present time we do not own any patents, franchises, concessions, or labor contracts. However, in the future, our success may depend in part upon our ability to preserve our trade secrets, obtain and maintain patent protection for our technologies, products and processes, and operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of other parties. However, we may rely on certain proprietary technologies, trade secrets, and know-how that are not patentable. Although we may take action to protect our unpatented trade secrets and our proprietary information, in part, by the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and certain of our contractors, we cannot guaranty that:  (a) these agreements will not be breached;  (b) we would have adequate remedies for any breach; or  (c) our proprietary trade secrets and know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed or discovered by competitors.   8

We cannot guaranty that our actions will be sufficient to prevent imitation or duplication of our products and services by others or prevent others from claiming violations of their trade secrets and proprietary rights. (8) Need for Government Approval of Principal Products or Services The manufacture, distribution and sale of our products are subject to governmental regulations in the United States at the federal, state and local levels. The most extensive regulations are promulgated under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, which, among other things, empowers the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to require a manufacturer to remedy certain defects related to motor vehicle safety for vehicles that fail to conform to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards are promulgated by the NHTSA. Many of our products will be affected by these standards. Our suppliers engage various testing companies, which also perform testing for NHTSA, to test certain of the components we will use in our conversion kits. NHTSA can require automotive manufacturers to recall products that are defective and/or are perceived to be dangerous. None of the parts currently expected to be used in our vehicles have been subject to recall, but there is no guarantee that parts will not be subject to recall in the future. (9) Government Regulation The manufacture, distribution and sale of our products are subject to governmental regulations in the United States at the federal, state and local levels. The most extensive regulations are promulgated under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, which, among other things, empowers the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to require a manufacturer to remedy certain defects related to motor vehicle safety for vehicles that fail to conform to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards are promulgated by the NHTSA. Many of our products will be affected by these standards. Our suppliers engage various testing companies, which also perform testing for NHTSA, to test certain of the components we will use in our conversion kits. NHTSA can require automotive manufacturers to recall products that are defective and/or are perceived to be dangerous. None of the parts currently expected to be used in our conversion kits have been subject to recall, but there is no guarantee that parts will not be subject to recall in the future. Like other automotive parts manufacturers and producers of products using reconfigured components, we may be subject to claims that our products caused or contributed to damage or injury sustained in vehicle accidents or may be required to recall products deemed to contain defects related to motor vehicle safety. We intend to be adequately insured for any claims. However, any such claims may be in excess of our insurance coverage. Material product recall expenses, if any, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Promulgation of additional safety standards in the future could require us to incur additional testing and engineering expenses that could adversely affect our results of operations. We must obtain emission compliance certification from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to introduce vehicles, engines and/or engine conversion kits into commerce in the United States, and from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to introduce vehicles, engines and/or engine conversion kits into commerce in California. Certification requires that each vehicle or engine meet specific component, subsystem and vehicle-level durability, emission, evaporative, and idle tests. Both federal and state authorities have various environmental control standards relating to air, water and noise pollution that affect our business and operations. Furthermore, we intend to strive to meet stringent industry standards set by various regulatory bodies and industry practices, including the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Bureau, the National Fire Protection Association, TÜV, the European Integrated Hydrogen Project, Kouatsugasu Hoan Kyokai, Underwriters Laboratories, and the American Gas Association. Approvals enhance   9

the acceptability of our products in the domestic marketplace. Many foreign countries also accept these agency approvals as satisfying the approval for sale requirements in their markets. International sales, if any, will be subject to foreign tariffs and taxes, and revenues there from will be affected by such factors as currency exchange rates, international monetary transfer rules and regulations and other factors for which changes are difficult to predict and which could adversely affect sales or revenue recognition there from. Our products must also comply with government safety standards imposed in our foreign markets. (10) Research and Development During The Last Two Fiscal Years We spent $111,012 and $387,770 on research and development (R&D) during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The money used to fund this R&D was derived from short-term note financing. (11) Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws Our products use flammable fuels that are inherently dangerous substances and could subject us to product liabilities.Our financial results could be materially impacted by accidents involving either our vehicles or those of other manufacturers, either because we face claims for damages or because of the potential negative impact on demand for hydrogen fuel products. Some of our vehicles will use commercially produced/sold hydrogen, which is typically generated from gaseous and liquid fuels such as propane, natural gas or methanol in a process known as reforming. While our vehicles do not use these fuels in a combustion process, natural gas, propane and other hydrocarbons are flammable fuels that could leak and then combust if ignited by another source. In addition, certain of our OEM [original equipment manufacturer] partners and customers may experience significant product liability claims. As a supplier/buyer of products, components and systems to/from these OEMs, we may face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that their/our products, or the equipment into which their/our products are incorporated, malfunction and result in personal injury or death. We may be named in product liability claims even if there is no evidence that our systems or components caused the accidents. Product liability claims could result in significant losses from expenses incurred in defending claims or the award of damages. Since our products have not yet gained widespread market acceptance, any accidents involving our systems could materially impede acceptance of our products. In addition, although our management believes that the company will at all times be able to maintain liability coverage in an amount adequate to cover these risks, we may be held responsible for damages beyond the scope of our insurance coverage. As a company we fully intend on complying with all federal, state and local environmental regulations regarding the use, storage and safety of our products.  We do not foresee any increase in costs due to compliance with environmental issues as all of the products we will purchase will have compliance with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws. (12) Our Employees As of December 31, 2011, we had seven (7) full-time employees on our payroll. In addition to our employee personnel, we utilize two (2) independent contractors in our business. During peak production periods, we may increase our work force. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining agreement; we consider our relations with our employees to be good.   10

Reports to Security Holders We will file reports and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You may read and copy any document that we file at the SEC's public reference facilities at 100 F. Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-732-0330 for more information about its public reference facilities. Our SEC filings will be available to you free of charge at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. We are not required by the Florida Revised Statutes to provide annual reports. At the request of a shareholder, we will send a copy of an annual report to include audited financial statements. ITEM 1ARISK FACTORS Before considering any kind of investment in our common stock, you should be aware that there are several risks, as described below. You should carefully consider all these risk factors together with all of the other information available before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock. Any of the following risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have incurred both profits and losses from inception while realizing limited revenues and we may never generate substantial revenues or be profitable in the future. This document, including the following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA") and  Section 27A of the 1933 Act, and Section 21E of the 1934 Act. We face a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: We have sales and contracts with the Port of Los Angles and with the Port of Long Beach.  We may not be able to develop additional sales. Or, conversely, we may enter into contracts with one or more re-sale market businesses that result in our being dependent on sales to, and contracts with, one or only a few parties for a substantial portion of our revenue. To compete effectively for business, we must satisfy pricing, service, technology, and increasingly stringent quality and reliability requirements of consumers. Further, consumers in general put significant pressure on product sellers to reduce costs on an annual basis. While we intend to focus our efforts on retaining and winning business from a broad spectrum of consumer and re-sale purchasers, we cannot assure you that we will succeed in doing so. We intend to aggressively pursue relationships with after-market vehicle product suppliers in the domestic market, but we cannot assure you that we will succeed in getting such business. If we are unsuccessful in maintaining or expanding our revenue base, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk and is subject to many uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties may adversely affect the Companys business, operating results and financial condition. In such an event, the trading price for our common shares could decline substantially, and an investor could lose all or part of his or her investment. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that we do not know about now or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business.   11

Risk Factors Related To Our Financial Condition We have a limited operating history, with no track record to determine if our planned business will be financially viable or successful.Our future mix of revenues may not reflect our current business strategy, and it may be difficult to assess our business and future prospects. We have only recently delivered our first vehicles.  We intent to test and further develop our vehicles in conjunction with our launch customers. Our   Companys business plan will not be fully exploitable until our technologies pass all applicable federal and state inspection requirements. Our projected revenues from our business may fall short of our targeted goals and our profit margins may likewise not be achieved. Until we are actually in the marketplace for a demonstrable period of time, it is impossible to determine if our business strategies will be successful. Our current business strategy is to engineer, design, develop, manufacture, market, license, and sell zero emission hydrogen powered vehicles. Because the success of our business will, to some extent, rely both upon the availability of fuel-grade hydrogen throughout the state of California and the manufacture by others of hydrogen fueled vehicles which will create an increasing demand for fuel-grade hydrogen, it is impossible to predict the allocation of business revenues. Also, historical operating data as generated may be of limited value in evaluating our future prospects because the industry itself is in its early days. Because we expect to continue to incur net losses, we may not be able to implement our business strategy, and the price of our common shares may decline.We have not generated any positive net income since the Companys inception May 11, 2004.  Our current business strategy is to engineer, design, develop, manufacture, market, license, and sell zero emission hydrogen powered vehicles and related business with market leadership positions for the product. In so doing, we will continue to incur significant expenditures for general administrative activities, including sales and marketing and research and development activities. As a result of these costs, we will need to generate and sustain regularly significantly higher revenues and positive gross margins to achieve and sustain profitability. We have incurred significant operating expenses over the last three years.As a result, we expect to incur losses in 2012, and we may never achieve profitability. Accordingly, we may not be able to implement our business strategy, and the price of our common shares may decline. Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly and may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors, and cause the price of our common shares to decline. We expect our quarterly revenues and operating results to vary significantly in the future.These quarterly fluctuations in our operating performance will result from the length of time between our first contact with a customer and the recognition of revenue from a sale or sales to that customer. Our products are highly-engineered and components may require further development; therefore, the length of time between approaching a customer and delivering our products to that customer could span quarterly periods. In many cases a customers decision to buy our products and services may require the customer to change its established business and/or consumer practices and to conduct its business and/or its consumer habits in new ways. As a result, we must educate customers on the use and benefits of our products and services, which can require us to commit significant time and resources without necessarily generating any revenues. Many potential commercial customers may wish to enter into test arrangements with us in order to use our products and services on a trial basis. The success of these trials may determine whether or not the potential customer purchases our products or services on a commercial basis. Potential customers may also need to obtain approval at a number of management levels and one or more regulatory approvals, which may delay a decision to purchase our products.   12

The length and variability of the sales cycles for our products make it difficult to forecast accurately the timing and amount of specific sales and corresponding revenue recognition.The delay or failure to complete one or more large sales transactions could significantly reduce our revenues for a particular quarter and we may expend substantial funds and management effort during our sales cycle with no assurance that we will successfully sell our products. As a result, our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly and we may fail to meet expectations of securities analysts and investors, and the price of our common shares may decline. We may be unable to raise additional capital to pursue our commercialization plans and may be forced to discontinue product development, reduce our sales and marketing efforts or forego attractive business opportunities.We will require additional capital to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or products, obtain the right to use complementary technologies or accelerate product development and commercialization activities. If suppliers of components of our vehicles are unable to meet our demand or otherwise fall victim to market forces, we may be forced to find alternate suppliers or be forced to develop the capability of assembling one or more of our own components for our vehicles. We may need to raise additional funds sooner if our estimates of revenues, costs and capital expenditures change or are inaccurate.If we are unable to raise additional capital or are unable to do so on acceptable terms, we may not be able to respond to the actions of our competitors or we may be prevented from conducting all or a portion of our planned operations. In particular, the expansion of our business into targeted geographic locations could be delayed or aborted if we are unable to raise additional capital or if third parties upon which we will rely to supply hydrogen to fuel our vehicles do not provide retail hydrogen in the various geographic localities we deem suitable for our business. In addition, we may be forced to reduce our sales and marketing efforts or forego attractive business opportunities. If we issue additional equity securities to third parties in order to raise funds, the ownership percentage in our company of each of our existing shareholders will be reduced. Our ability to grow revenue and future prospects depends to a certain extent on the commitment of the state and local governments to support alternate fuels and, generally, to the commitment of consumers to support the commercialization of alternate fuels in general and hydrogen in particular.Our revenue production capability in particular and our future business prospects in general could be hurt if the government of the State of California and/or the United States of America determined to not support the nascent hydrogen fuel industry. We intend to seek, if available, federal, state and local funding and other support to cut the costs of financing our business growth. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining such support, or even that our interests will continue to be aligned with the respective governmental interests insofar as alternative fuel development is concerned. Furthermore, any change in governmental strategy with respect to supporting or funding alternative fuel industries, whether as a result of market, economic or competitive pressure, could also harm our business. Such a change in strategy could include, for example, any decision by the government to: · alter its commitment to hydrogen-related technology in favor of competing technologies; · delay or reduce its plans to introduce hydrogen-fuel products and vehicles; or · increase an internal development of hydrogen-fuel products or purchase them from another supplier. In addition, where intellectual property is developed pursuant to our use of technology licensed from third parties, we may commit to provide certain exclusive or non-exclusive licenses in favor of third parties and in some cases, the intellectual property may be jointly owned. As a result of such licenses, we may be limited or precluded, as the case may be, in the exploitation of such intellectual property rights.   13

We intend to depend upon a diverse pool of new customers for the bulk of our revenue and a decrease in revenue from these customers could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition and results of operations.We expect our customers to be, primarily, consumers and not businesses, although we will seek fleet business where viable. Accordingly, the identities of our customers will change from year to year. Our arrangements with customers will be generally non-exclusive, without volume commitments and primarily on a purchase-order basis and we cannot be certain that we will be able to develop large accounts with only a few customers. In addition, as more and more new vehicles enter the marketplace with alt-fuel technology, the demand for our product will eventually decline in the US and we may be forced to look to foreign markets for future sales. Accordingly, our revenue and results of operations may vary from period to period. We are also subject to credit risk associated with selling products to a diverse range of customers. If we do obtain fleet business or commercial/governmental business, such a customer could become a significant customer. If one or more of our significant customers were to cease doing business with us, significantly reduce or delay its purchases from us, or fail to pay on a timely basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Our customer arrangements are expected to be non-exclusive, with no long-term volume commitments, and on a purchase order basis.We cannot be certain that customers will continue to purchase our products. Accordingly, our revenue and results of operations may vary substantially from period to period. We may also be subject to credit risk associated with any concentration of our accounts receivable from our customers should we develop relationships with a few significant customers. In that instance, if one or more of our significant customers were to cease doing business with us, significantly reduce or delay its purchases from us or fail to pay us on a timely basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Our business depends on the growth of the specialty vehicle and hydrogen economy markets. We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow that may continue into the foreseeable future.We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow. If we fail to execute our strategy to achieve and maintain profitability in the future, investors could lose confidence in the value of our common stock, which could cause our stock price to decline and adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital. We have spent significant funds to develop and refine our technologies and services.We expect to continue to invest in research and development and this investment could outpace revenue growth, which would hinder our ability to achieve and maintain profitability. If we are unable to achieve and maintain profitability, our stock price could be materially adversely affected. We may never be able to introduce commercially viable hydrogen/alternative fuel Vehicles and systems.We do not know whether or when we will successfully introduce commercially viable hydrogen and alt-fuel Vehicles for the hydrogen or vehicular markets. We have assembled and are currently demonstrating a number of test and evaluation systems and are continuing efforts to decrease the costs of these systems and to improve their overall functionality and efficiency. However, we must complete substantial additional research and development on these systems before we can introduce commercially viable Vehicles. Even if we are able to do so, these efforts will still depend upon the success of other companies in producing related and necessary products for use in conjunction with commercially viable fuel cells, hybrids and other hydrogen applications. A mass market for hydrogen fuel cell products, alt-fuel products and systems may never develop or may take longer to develop than anticipated.Alt-fuel and hydrogen systems represent emerging technologies, and we do not know whether consumers will adopt these technologies on a large scale or if OEMs will incorporate these technologies into their products. In particular, if a mass market fails to develop, or develops more slowly than anticipated, for hydrogen powered transportation applications, we may be unable to recover our expenditures to   14

develop our fuel systems for hydrogen applications and may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability, any of which could negatively impact our business. Estimates for the development of a mass market for alt-fuel products and systems have lengthened in recent years. Many factors that are beyond our control may have a negative effect on the development of a mass market for hydrogen and alt-fuel systems. These factors include the following: · cost competitiveness and physical size of conversion kit systems and balance of plant components; · availability, future costs and safety of hydrogen and other alternate fuels; · consumer acceptance of hydrogen or alt-fuel products; · government funding and support for the development of hydrogen and alt-fuel vehicles and hydrogen and alt-fuel infrastructure; · the willingness of OEMs to replace current technology; · consumer perceptions of hydrogen and alt-fuel systems; · regulatory requirements; and · emergence of newer, breakthrough technologies and products within the hydrogen and alt-fuel industry. We may experience delays in shipping our products as a result of changing customer specifications and testing procedures.Due to the dynamic nature of hydrogen and alt-fuel technologies, changes in product specifications are common and may result in delayed shipments, order cancellations or higher production costs. Evolving design requirements, product specifications or testing procedures may adversely affect our business or financial results. We may be adversely affected by labor disputes.Labor disputes may occur at supplier, distributor, OEM and critical OEM supplier facilities, which may adversely affect our business. As our conversion kit business becomes more dependent on vehicle conversion programs with OEMs, we will become increasingly dependent on OEM production and the associated labor forces at OEM and critical OEM supplier sites. Labor unions represent most of the labor forces at OEM facilities and critical OEM suppliers. Labor disputes could occur at OEM or critical supplier facilities which could adversely impact our direct OEM product sales. Additionally, we may be subject to work slowdowns or stoppages from time to time. We may be subject to warranty claims, and our provision for warranty costs may not be sufficient.We may be subject to increased warranty claims due to longer warranty periods. In response to consumer demand, vehicle manufacturers have been providing, and may continue to provide, increasingly longer warranty periods for their products. As a consequence, consumers demand and expect product suppliers, such as us, to provide correspondingly longer product warranties. As a result, we could incur substantially greater warranty claims in the future. Our business may be subject to product liability claims or product recalls, which could be expensive and could result in a diversion of managements attention. The automotive industry experiences significant product liability claims.As a supplier of Vehicles to the automotive market, we face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that our Vehicles, or the equipment into which our products are incorporated, malfunction and result in personal injury or death. We may be named in product liability claims even if there is no evidence that our systems or components caused the accidents. Product liability claims could result in significant losses as a result of expenses incurred in defending claims or the award of damages. The sale of systems and components for the transportation industry entails a high risk of these claims. In addition, we may be required to participate in recalls involving our products if any of our products or parts to our products prove to be defective, or we may voluntarily initiate a recall or make payments related to such claims as a result of various industry or business practices or the need to maintain good customer relationships. We cannot assure you that our product liability   15

insurance will be sufficient to cover all product liability claims, that such claims will not exceed our insurance coverage limits or that such insurance will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Any product liability claim brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business. Our insurance may not be sufficient.We will carry insurance, including products liability insurance, that we consider adequate having regard to the nature of the risks of doing business and costs of coverage. We may not, however, be able to obtain insurance against certain risks or for certain products or other resources located from time to time in certain areas of the world to the extent we may be forced to rely on outside providers. Currently we are not fully insured against all possible risks, nor are all such risks insurable. Thus, although we intend to maintain insurance coverage, such coverage may not be adequate. Risk Factors Related To Our Business and Industry We have limited experience assembling hydrogen Vehicles for alt-fuel and hydrogen applications on a commercial basis.In order to produce Vehicles at affordable prices, we will have to produce Vehicles through high volume automated processes. We do not know whether we will be able to contract efficient, automated, low-cost assembly capability and processes that will enable us to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, or production volumes required to successfully mass market our Vehicles. Even if we are successful in developing our high volume assembly capabilities and processes, we do not know whether we will do so in time to meet our product commercialization schedules or to satisfy the requirements of customers. Our failure to develop such processes and capabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may not meet our product development and commercialization milestones.We have Vehicle development programs that are in the pre-commercial stage. The success of each Vehicle development program is highly dependent on our correct interpretation of commercial market requirements, and our translation of those requirements into applicable product specifications and appropriate development milestones. If we have misinterpreted market requirements, or if the requirements of the market change, we may develop a product that does not meet the cost and performance requirements for a successful commercial product. In addition, if we do not meet the required development milestones, our commercialization schedules could be delayed, which could result in potential purchasers of these Vehicles declining to purchase additional systems or choosing to purchase alternative technologies. Delayed commercialization schedules may also have an impact on our cash flow, which could require increased funding. Significant markets for fuel cell and other hydrogen energy products may never develop or may develop more slowly than we anticipate, which would significantly harm our revenues and may cause us to be unable to recover the losses we have incurred and expect to incur in the development of our products.Significant markets may never develop for hydrogen-fuel vehicles and other hydrogen energy or alternative fuel products or they may develop more slowly than we anticipate. Any such delay or failure would significantly harm our revenues and we may be unable to recover the losses we have incurred and expect to continue to incur in the development and marketing of our Vehicles. If this were to occur, we may never achieve profitability and our business could fail. Hydrogen energy products represent an emerging market, and whether or not end-users will want to use them may be affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including: · the emergence of more competitive technologies and products, including other  environmentally clean technologies and products that could render our products obsolete; · the future cost of hydrogen production and other fuels used by our fuel systems;   16


Quick Link to Table of Contents


· the regulatory requirements of agencies, including the development of uniform codes and standards for hydrogen products, hydrogen fueling and refueling infrastructure and other hydrogen energy products; · government support of fuel-hydrogen technology, hydrogen storage technology and hydrogen refueling technology; · the assembling and supply costs for the internal combustion engine conversion kits; · the perceptions of consumers regarding the safety of our products; · the willingness of consumers to try new technologies; · the continued development and improvement of existing power technologies; and · the future cost of fuels used in existing technologies. Hydrogen and other alternate fuels may not be readily available on a cost-effective basis, in which case our products may be unable to compete with existing power sources and our revenues and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.If our customers are not able to obtain hydrogen and other alternative fuels on a cost-effective basis through market sources or are unable to purchase the needed fuels at locations convenient to them, our products may be unable to compete with existing power sources and our revenues and results of operations would be materially adversely affected. Significant growth in the use of hydrogen-powered and alt-fuel-powered devices, particularly in the automobile or vehicular market, may require the development of an infrastructure to deliver the hydrogen. There is no guarantee that such an infrastructure will be developed on a timely basis or at all. While our customers, so long as they live close enough to a hydrogen station, will have access to hydrogen at a market price, there is no guarantee that low cost fuel-grade hydrogen or alternate fuels will be available at other locations needed by customers to refuel their vehicles. Even if hydrogen and alternative fuel is available for our Vehicles, if the effective price is such that it costs more to use our products than to use products powered by gasoline, electricity or power provided through other means, we may be unable to compete successfully with our competition. Changes in government policies and regulations could hurt the market for our products.The fuel-grade hydrogen industry is in its development phase and is not currently subject to industry-specific government regulations in the United States relating to matters such as design, storage, transportation and installation of hydrogen production cell systems and hydrogen infrastructure products. However, given that the production of electrical energy and gasoline has typically been an area of significant government regulation, we expect hydrogen production industries, including the home-hydrogen-production industry to encounter industry specific government regulations in the future in the jurisdictions and markets in which we operate. For example, regulatory approvals or permits may be required for the design, installation and operation of stationary hydrogen production systems under federal, state and local regulations governing electric utilities and mobile fueling systems under federal, state and local emissions regulations affecting automobile manufacturers. To the extent that there are delays in gaining such regulatory approval, our development and growth may be constrained and limited by the practicality of customers finding a fuel source for their converted vehicles. Furthermore, the inability of our potential customers to obtain a permit (if necessary to operate a hydrogen fueled vehicle or to install and maintain a hydrogen production system at home should they desire to manufacture their own hydrogen at home), or the inconvenience often associated with the permit process, could harm demand for our kits and, therefore, harm our business. Our business will suffer if environmental policies change and no longer encourage the development and growth of clean power technologies.The interest by automobile manufacturers in alt-fuel technology has been driven in part by environmental laws and regulations in California and, to a lesser extent, in New York, Massachusetts and Maine. There is no guarantee that these laws and regulations will not change and any such changes could result in automobile manufacturers abandoning their interest in alt-fuel powered vehicles. In   17

addition, if current laws and regulations in these states are not kept in force or if further environmental laws and regulations are not adopted in these and other jurisdictions, demand for alternative fuels for vehicles may be limited. The market for stationary and portable energy-related products is influenced by federal, state and local governmental regulations and policies concerning the electric utility industry. Changes in regulatory standards or public policy could deter further investment in the research and development of alternative energy sources, including hydrogen production products, and could result in a significant reduction in the potential market demand for our Vehicles. We cannot predict how changing government regulation and policies regarding the electric utility industry will affect the market for hydrogen powered Vehicles. Although the development of alternative energy sources, and in particular hydrogen fueled products, has been identified as a significant priority by many governments, we cannot be assured that governments will not change their priorities or that any such change would not materially affect our revenues and our business.If governments change their laws and regulations such that the development of alternative energy sources is no longer required or encouraged, the demand for alternative energy sources including our Vehicles may be significantly reduced or delayed and our sales would decline. The development of uniform codes and standards for hydrogen-powered vehicles and related hydrogen refueling infrastructure may not develop in a timely fashion, if at all.Uniform codes and standards do not currently exist for fuel-grade hydrogen production systems, system components, hydrogen internal combustion engines, or for the use of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel. Establishment of appropriate codes and standards is a critical element to allow hydrogen fuel system developers, systems component developers, hydrogen internal combustion engine developers, hydrogen infrastructure companies, and hydrogen production, storage and handling companies to develop products that will be accepted in the marketplace. The development of hydrogen standards is being undertaken by numerous organizations. Given the number of organizations pursuing hydrogen codes and standards, it is not clear whether universally accepted codes and standards will result in a timely fashion, if at all. We currently face and will continue to face significant competition from other developers and manufacturers of hydrogen fueling technology and equipment.If we are unable to compete successfully, we could experience a loss of market share, reduced gross margins for our existing products, and a failure to achieve acceptance of our proposed products. Competition in the markets for fuel cell power modules and our Vehicles are significant and will likely persist and intensify over time.We compete directly and indirectly with a number of companies that provide vehicles and services that are competitive with all, some or part of our vehicles and related services. Many of our potential competitors have greater brand name recognition than us and their products may enjoy greater initial market acceptance among our potential customers. In addition, many of these competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing, distribution, service and other resources than we have and may also be better able to adapt quickly to customers changing demands and to changes in technology. If we are unable to continuously improve our Vehicles and if we cannot generate effective responses to our competitors brand power, product innovations, pricing strategies, marketing campaigns, partnerships, distribution channels, service networks, and other initiatives, our ability to gain market share or market acceptance for our products could be limited, our revenues and our profit margins may suffer, and we may never become profitable.We face competition for hydrogen powered vehicles from developers and manufacturers of traditional technologies and other alternative technologies. Each of our target markets is currently served by existing manufacturers with existing customers and suppliers. These manufacturers are working on developing technologies that use other types of alternative power technologies, fuel cells, advanced batteries and hybrid battery/internal combustion engines, which may compete for our target customers. Given   18


Quick Link to Table of Contents


that polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells have the potential to replace these existing power sources, competition in our target markets will also come from these traditional power technologies, from improvements to traditional power technologies and from new alternative power technologies, including various types of fuel cells. In addition, we can expect the automobile industry to market cars with more efficient gasoline engines, to get more mileage per gallon of gasoline purchased. A greater mph gasoline fueled vehicle will cause an effective drop in the cost of fuel for a user of such a vehicle and reduce consumer demand for our conversion kits. Our Vehicles depend somewhat upon the market demand for hydrogen fuel, which, to a large extent, will be dependent on third party efforts to develop and manufacture products and systems for sale to commercial, governmental and industrial users, and consumers, as well as systems integrators, OEMs, suppliers and other market channel partners that have mature sales and distribution networks for their products. Our success may be heavily dependent upon unrelated third parties who, by producing low cost fuel-grade hydrogen, will create a demand for our Vision Vehicles and, perhaps, on our ability to find partners who are willing to assume some of the research and development costs and risks associated with our Vehicles. Our performance may, as a result, depend on the success of other companies, and there are no assurances of their success. We can offer no guarantee that governments and systems integrators, OEMs, suppliers and other market channel partners will manufacture appropriate products or, if they do manufacture such products, that the Vehicles will be compatible with theirs. There is no assurance that the grade of hydrogen that our Vehicles require will fall within any standard or otherwise be suitable for hydrogen-based technologies designed, manufactured or marketed by parties not in alliance with us. Such products, whether or not related to the incorporation of our hydrogen or hydrogen products, could delay sales of our products and adversely affect our financial results. Our ability to sell our Vehicles to the OEM markets depends to a significant extent upon potential partners worldwide sales and distribution networks and service capabilities. In addition, in order to develop certain market share, we may enter into agreements with customers and partners that require us to provide shared intellectual property rights in certain situations, and there can be no assurance that any future relationships that we enter into will not require us to share some of our intellectual property. Any change in the hydrogen or alternative fuel strategies of a potential partner could have a material adverse effect on our business and our future prospects. Finally, in some cases, our relationships may be governed by a non-binding memorandum of understanding or a letter of intent. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully negotiate and execute definitive agreements with any of these partners, and failure to do so may effectively terminate the relevant relationship. We may also enter into relationships with third-party distributors to supply us with parts when we experience a shortfall in production or to sell them our excess capacity parts, even though they also indirectly compete with us. In addition, our third-party distributors may require us to provide volume price discounts and other allowances, or customize our products, either of which could reduce the potential profitability of these relationships. We rely upon third party suppliers to supply key materials and components for our Vehicles.A suppliers failure to supply materials or components in a timely manner, or to supply materials and components that meet our quality, quantity or cost requirements, or our inability to obtain substitute sources for these materials and components in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us, may harm our ability to manufacture our products cost-effectively or at all, and our revenues and gross margins might suffer. In particular, components that we integrate in our Vehicles need to be compatible with hydrogen and/or alternate fuels. To the extent materials need to be tested and replaced to ensure compatibility, we may experience delays in shipping our kits to potential customers. To the extent that we are unable to develop and patent our own technology and assembling processes, and to the extent that the processes which our suppliers use to manufacture materials and components   19

are proprietary, we may be unable to obtain comparable materials or components from alternative suppliers, and that could adversely affect our ability to produce commercially viable products. We will need to recruit, train and retain key management and other qualified personnel to successfully expand our business.Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to recruit and retain experienced research and development, engineering, assembling, operating, sales and marketing, customer service and management personnel. We compete in a new market and there are a limited number of people with the appropriate combination of skills needed to provide the services that our customers will require. Due to the emerging demand for qualified personnel in this industry, we expect to experience difficulty in recruiting qualified personnel. If we do not attract such personnel, we may not be able to expand our business. In addition, new employees generally require substantial training, which requires significant resources and management attention. Our success also depends upon retaining our key management, research, product development, engineering, marketing and assembling personnel. Even if we invest significant resources to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel, we may not be successful in our efforts. We may not be able to manage successfully the expansion of our operations.The pace of our expansion in facilities, staff and operations will place significant demands on our managerial, technical, financial and other resources. We will be required to make significant investments in our logistics systems and our financial and management information systems, as well as retaining, motivating and effectively managing our employees. Our management skills and systems currently in place may not enable us to implement our strategy or to attract and retain skilled management, engineering and production personnel. Our failure to manage our growth effectively or to implement our strategy in a timely manner may significantly harm our ability to achieve profitability. If we do not properly manage foreign sales and operations, our business could suffer.We do not expect, initially, to invest our resources in foreign operations. However, as the price of gasoline is higher in many foreign countries than in the United States, we may determine to explore opportunities in foreign markets if we believe that a substantial portion of our future revenues could be derived from foreign sales of our kits and products. Such international activities may be subject to inherent risks, including regulatory limitations restricting or prohibiting the provision of our products and services, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs, customs, duties and other trade barriers, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, longer payment cycles, problems in collecting accounts receivable, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, foreign exchange controls that restrict or prohibit repatriation of funds, technology export and import restrictions or prohibitions, delays from customs brokers or government agencies, seasonal reductions in business activity and potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from operating in multiple jurisdictions. As a result, if we do not properly manage foreign sales and operations, our business could suffer. We intend to acquire technologies or companies in the future, and these acquisitions could disrupt our business and dilute our shareholders interests.We intend to acquire other companies (and may acquire additional technologies) in the future and we cannot provide assurances that we will be able to successfully integrate their operations or that the cost savings we anticipate will be fully realized. Entering into an acquisition or investment entails many risks, any of which could materially harm our business, including: · diversion of managements attention from other business concerns; · failure to effectively assimilate the acquired technology, employees or other assets of the company into our  business; · the loss of key employees from either our current business or the acquired business; and · assumption of significant liabilities of the acquired company.   20

If we complete additional acquisitions, we may dilute the ownership of current shareholders. In addition, achieving the expected returns and cost savings from our past and future acquisitions will depend in part upon our ability to integrate the products and services, technologies, research and development programs, operations, sales and marketing functions, finance, accounting and administrative functions, and other personnel of these businesses into our business in an efficient and effective manner. We cannot ensure that we will be able to do so or that the acquired businesses will perform at anticipated levels. If we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses, our anticipated revenues may be lower and our operational costs may be higher. We have no experience assembling or assembling our products on a large scale basis, and if we do not develop adequate assembling and assembly processes and capabilities to do so in a timely manner, we may be unable to achieve our growth and profitability objectives.We have manufactured and assembled only a limited number of products for prototypes and initial sales, and we have no experience assembling or assembling Vehicles on a large scale. Although we will rely on third party manufactured, off-the-shelf components for our Vehicles, in order to produce certain of our Vehicles at affordable prices in the future we may have to manufacture certain, or all, of our components, in which case we would need to incur the costs associated with developing and operating a assembling facility. In such case, we may not be able to develop efficient, low-cost assembling capabilities and processes that will enable us to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards or production volumes required to successfully mass market such Vehicles. Even if we are successful in developing our assembling capabilities and processes, we do not know whether we will do so in time to meet our Vehicle commercialization schedule or to satisfy the requirements of our customers and the market. Should it become necessary to develop these assembling processes and capabilities, our failure to do so in a timely manner could prevent us from achieving our growth and profitability objectives. Risk Factors Related To Our Vehicles and Technology Because our business and industry are still in the developmental stage, we do not know whether, or when, third party produced/manufactured products will be suitable for our intended uses, and whether or not we will be required to complete research and development of commercially viable products in order to meet our business objectives. If we are unable to find third party produced/manufactured products suitable for our business objectives, we will be unable to meet our business and growth objectives. If we determine to participate in the development of commercially viable products in order to meet our business goals, and refocus our energies on development and research, and are unsuccessful, we will be unable to meet our business and growth objectives. Even if we were to be successful, the time to meeting our objectives would be increased substantially. We expect to face unforeseen challenges, expenses and difficulties as a developing company seeking to be a reseller of third party designed, developed and manufactured new products in each of our targeted markets. Our future success also depends upon our ability to effectively market hydrogen fuel Vehicles. We must work at all times to lower the cost of our hydrogen drive systems (and installation costs) and demonstrate their reliability, or consumers will unlikely purchase our products. The ultimate cost of hydrogen technology and hydrogen fuel-based products is not fully tested and known. The price of hydrogen generation products is dependent largely upon material and assembling costs. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to lower these costs to a level where we will be able to produce and/or sell a competitive product. If third party providers are unable to produce and distribute hydrogen and/or alternative fuel generation products that are competitive with other technologies in terms of price, performance, reliability and longevity, consumers will unlikely buy our Vehicles. Accordingly, we would not be able to generate sufficient revenues with positive gross margins, to achieve and sustain profitability.   21

Any failures or delays in field tests of our products could negatively affect our customer relationships and increase our assembling costs.We intend to regularly field-test our Vehicles. Any failures or delays in our field-tests could harm our competitive position and impair our ability to sell our Vehicles. Our field-tests may encounter problems and delays for a number of reasons, including the failure of our technology, the failure of the technology of others, the failure to combine these technologies properly, operator error and the failure to maintain and service the test prototypes properly. Many of these potential problems and delays will be beyond our control. In addition, field-test programs, by their nature, may involve delays relating to product roll-out and modifications to product design, as well as third party involvement. Any problem or perceived problem with our field-tests, whether it originates from our technology, our design, or third parties, could hurt our reputation and the reputation of our Vehicles and limit our sales. Such field test failures may negatively affect our relationships with customers, require us to extend field-testing longer than anticipated before undertaking commercial sales and/or require us to develop further technologies to account for such failures. The components of our products may contain defects or errors that could negatively affect our customer relationships and increase our development, service and warranty costs.Our products are complex and must meet the stringent technical requirements of our customers. The software, electrical circuitry and other components used in our conversion kits may contain undetected defects or errors, especially when first introduced, which could result in the failure of our products to perform, damage to our reputation, delayed or lost revenue, product returns, diverted development resources and increased development, service and warranty costs. Our business may become subject to additional future product certification regulations, which may impair our ability to market our products.We must obtain product certification from governmental agencies, such as the U.S. EPA and the CARB, to sell certain of our Vehicles in the United States and internationally. A significant portion of our future sales will depend upon sales of Vehicles that are certified to meet existing and future air quality and energy standards. We cannot assure you that our products will continue to meet these standards. The failure to comply with these certification requirements could result in the recall of our products or in civil or criminal penalties. The development of uniform codes and standards for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and related hydrogen refueling infrastructure may not develop in a timely fashion.Uniform codes and standards do not currently exist for the use of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel. Establishment of appropriate codes and standards is a critical element to allow alt-fuel system developers, fuel cell component developers and hydrogen storage and handling companies to develop products that will be accepted in the marketplace. All fuels, including hydrogen, pose significant safety hazards, and hydrogen vehicles have not yet been widely used under real-world driving conditions. Ensuring that hydrogen fuel is safe for use by the driving public requires that appropriate codes and standards be established that will address certain characteristics of hydrogen and the safe handling of hydrogen fuels. The development of hydrogen fuel applicable standards is being undertaken by numerous organizations, including the American National Standards Institute, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the European Integrated Hydrogen Project, the International Code Council, the International Standards Organization, the National Fire Protection Association, the National Hydrogen Association, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Canadian Standards Association, the American National Standards Institute and the International Electro-technical Commission. Given the number of organizations pursuing hydrogen and fuel cell codes and standards, it is not clear whether universally accepted codes and standards will be implemented and, if so, when. Although many organizations have identified as a significant priority the development of codes and standards, we cannot assure you that any resulting codes and standards would not materially affect our revenue or the commercialization of our products.   22

We anticipate that regulatory bodies will establish certification procedures and impose regulations on fuel cell enabling technologies, alt-fuel technologies and hybrid fuel technologies and products which may impair our ability to distribute, install and service our Vehicles.Any new government regulation that affects fuel technologies, whether at the foreign, federal, state or local level, including any regulations relating to installation and servicing of these systems, may increase our costs and the price of our Vehicles. As a result, these regulations may have a negative impact on our business and financial condition. Failure to comply with applicable environmental and other laws and regulations could adversely affect our business and harm our results of operations.Our product and component suppliers use hazardous materials in research and development and assembling processes, and as a result are subject to federal, state, local and foreign regulations governing the use, storage, handling and disposal of these materials and hazardous waste products that are generated. It is possible that the materials used in assembling the Vehicles may also generate hazardous waste products. Although we believe that our procedures for using, handling, storing and disposing of hazardous materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from hazardous materials and we may incur liability as a result of any such contamination or injury. In the event of an accident, including a discharge of hazardous materials into the environment, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability could exceed our insurance and other resources. We may incur expenses related to compliance with environmental laws. Such future expenses or liability could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we cannot assure you that the cost of complying with these laws and regulations will not materially increase in the future. We are also subject to various other federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations.Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including new or revised safety or environmental standards, could give rise to significant liability and require us to incur substantial expenses and could materially harm our results of operations. New technologies could render our existing Vehicles obsolete.New developments in technology may negatively affect the development or sale of some or all of our Vehicles or make our Vehicles obsolete. A range of other technologies could compete with fuel cell, hydrogen, or alternative fuel technologies on which our automotive OEM business is currently focused, including electric vehicles, and methanol-based fuel cell vehicles that require fuel reformation. Our success depends upon our ability to design, develop and market newer Vehicles. Our inability to enhance existing Vehicles in a timely manner or to develop and introduce new Vehicles that incorporate new technologies, conform to increasingly stringent emission standards and performance requirements and achieve market acceptance in a timely manner could negatively impact our competitive position. New Vehicle development or modification is costly, involves significant research, development, time and expense and may not necessarily result in the successful commercialization of any new Vehicles. Changes in environmental policies could hurt the market for our products.The market for alternative fuel vehicles and equipment and the expected demand for our Vehicles will be driven, to a significant degree, by local, state and federal regulations that relate to air quality, greenhouse gases and pollutants, and that require the purchase of motor vehicles and equipment operating on alternative fuels. Similarly, foreign governmental regulations may also affect our international business, if any. These laws and regulations may change, which could result in transportation or equipment manufacturers abandoning or delaying their interest in alternative fuel and fuel cell powered vehicles or equipment. In addition, a failure by authorities to enforce current domestic and foreign laws or to adopt additional environmental laws could limit the demand for our products. Although many governments have identified as a significant priority the development of alternative energy   23

sources, and fuel cells in particular, we cannot assure you that governments will not change their priorities or that any change they make would not materially affect our revenue or the development of our Vehicles. Rapid technological advances or the adoption of new codes and standards could impair our ability to deliver our Vehicles in a timely manner and, as a result, our revenues would suffer.Our success depends in large part on our ability to keep our Vehicles current and compatible with evolving technologies, codes and standards. Unexpected changes in technology or in codes and standards could disrupt the development of our Vehicles and prevent us from meeting deadlines for the delivery of Vehicles. If we are unable to keep pace with technological advancements and adapt our Vehicles to new codes and standards in a timely manner, our products may become uncompetitive or obsolete and our revenues would suffer. We depend upon intellectual property and our failure to protect that intellectual property could adversely affect our future growth and success.Our failure to protect our existing and/or future intellectual property rights may result in the loss of exclusivity or the right to use our technologies. If we do not adequately ensure our freedom to use certain technology, we may have to pay others for rights to use their intellectual property, pay damages for infringement or misappropriation, and/or be enjoined from using such intellectual property. Failure to protect our intellectual property rights may reduce our ability to prevent others from using our technology. We will rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property, which at this stage consists primarily of trade secrets regarding the configuration of off-the-shelf components and energy management technology. Some of our intellectual property is currently not covered by any patent or patent application. Patent protection is subject to complex factual and legal criteria that may give rise to uncertainty as to the validity, scope and enforceability of a particular patent. Accordingly, we cannot be assured that: · any of the United States, Canadian or other trade secrets and/or patents owned by us in the future or third party trade secrets and/or patents licensed to us will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, rendered unenforceable, or licensed to others; or · any of our future patent applications will be issued with the breadth of protection that we seek, if at all. In addition, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited, not applied for or unenforceable in foreign countries. We may enter into third party licenses, which by their terms may limit or preclude us, as the case may be, in the exploitation of certain intellectual property rights.Although we expect to retain sole ownership of the intellectual property we develop, any alliance with third parties may provide for shared intellectual property rights in certain situations. Where intellectual property is developed pursuant to our use of technology licensed from a third party, we may be required to commit to provide certain exclusive or non-exclusive licenses in favor of said party, and in some cases the intellectual property may be jointly owned. We may also enter into agreements with other customers and partners that involve shared intellectual property rights. Any developments made under these agreements would be available for future commercial use by all parties to the agreement. We have not conducted formal evaluations to confirm that our technology and Vehicles do not or will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.As a result, we cannot be certain that our technology and products do not or will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. If infringement were to occur, our development, assembling, sales and distribution of such technology or products may be disrupted.   24

Some of our proprietary intellectual property is not protected by any patent or patent application, and, despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use such intellectual property without authorization.We intend to seek to protect proprietary intellectual property in part by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors rights agreements with strategic partners and employees, although such agreements have not been and may not be put in place in every instance. We cannot guarantee that these agreements will adequately protect our trade secrets and other intellectual property or proprietary rights. In addition, we cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons or institutions will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of these relationships. Furthermore, the steps we have taken and may take in the future may not prevent misappropriation of our solutions or technologies, particularly in respect of officers and employees who are no longer employed by us or in foreign countries where laws or law enforcement practices may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. We may seek to protect our proprietary intellectual property through contracts including, when possible, confidentiality agreements and inventors rights agreements with our customers and employees.We cannot be sure that the parties that enter into such agreements with us will not breach them, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons or institutions will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of these relationships. If necessary or desirable, we may seek licenses under the patents or other intellectual property rights of others. However, we cannot be sure that we will obtain such licenses or that the terms of any offered licenses will be acceptable to us. Our failure to obtain a license from a third party for intellectual property we use in the future could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to suspend the manufacture and shipment of products or our use of processes which exploit such intellectual property. Our failure to obtain or maintain the right to use certain intellectual property may negatively affect our business.Our future success and competitive position depends in part upon our ability to obtain or maintain certain proprietary intellectual property used in our principal products. This may be achieved, in part, by prosecuting claims against others who we believe are infringing our rights and by defending claims of intellectual property infringement brought by others. While we are not currently engaged in any intellectual property litigation, in the future we may commence lawsuits against others if we believe they have infringed our rights, or we may become subject to lawsuits alleging that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. For example, to the extent that we have previously incorporated third-party technology and/or know-how into certain products for which we do not have sufficient license rights, we could incur substantial litigation costs, be forced to pay substantial damages or royalties, or even be forced to cease sales in the event any owner of such technology or know-how were to challenge our subsequent sale of such products (and any progeny thereof). In addition, to the extent that we discover or have discovered third-party patents that may be applicable to products or processes in development, we may need to take steps to avoid claims of possible infringement, including obtaining non-infringement or invalidity opinions and, when necessary, re-designing or re-engineering Vehicles. However, we cannot assure you that these precautions will allow us to successfully avoid infringement claims. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense to us, adversely affect the development of sales of the challenged Vehicle or intellectual property and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor.  In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may, among other things, be required to: · pay substantial damages; · cease the development, manufacture, use, sale or importation of products that infringe upon other patented intellectual property; · expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property; · discontinue processes incorporating infringing technology; or · obtain licenses to the infringing intellectual property.   25

We cannot assure you that we would be successful in any such development or acquisition or that any such licenses would be available upon reasonable terms, if at all. Any such development, acquisition or license could require the expenditure of substantial time and other resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could negatively affect our business.Our future success and competitive position depend in part upon our ability to obtain or maintain the proprietary intellectual property used in our principal products. In order to establish and maintain such a competitive position we may need to prosecute claims against others who we believe are infringing our rights and defend claims brought by others who believe that we are infringing their rights. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense to us, redirect our energies and resources, adversely affect the sale of any Vehicles involved or the use or licensing of related intellectual property and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel from their principal responsibilities, regardless of whether such litigation is resolved in our favor. If we are found to be infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, we may, among other things, be required to: · pay substantial damages; · cease the development, manufacture, use, sale or importation of Vehicles that infringe upon such intellectual property rights; · discontinue processes incorporating the infringing technology; · expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property; or · obtain licenses to the relevant intellectual property. We cannot offer any assurance that we will prevail in any such intellectual property litigation or, if we were not to prevail in such litigation, that licenses to the intellectual property that we are found to be infringing upon would be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The cost of intellectual property litigation as well as the damages, licensing fees or royalties that we might be required to pay could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. Our products use flammable fuels that are inherently dangerous substances and could subject us to product liabilities.Our financial results could be materially impacted by accidents involving either our Vehicles or those of other manufacturers, either because we face claims for damages or because of the potential negative impact on demand for hydrogen fuel products. Some of our Vehicles will use commercially produced/sold hydrogen, which is typically generated from gaseous and liquid fuels such as propane, natural gas or methanol in a process known as reforming. While our Vehicles do not use these fuels in a combustion process, natural gas, propane and other hydrocarbons are flammable fuels that could leak and then combust if ignited by another source. In addition, certain of our OEM [original equipment manufacturer] partners and customers may experience significant product liability claims. As a supplier/buyer of products, components and systems to/from these OEMs, we may face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that their/our products, or the equipment into which their/our products are incorporated, malfunction and result in personal injury or death. We may be named in product liability claims even if there is no evidence that our systems or components caused the accidents. Product liability claims could result in significant losses from expenses incurred in defending claims or the award of damages. Since our products have not yet gained widespread market acceptance, any accidents involving our systems could materially impede acceptance of our products. In addition, although our management believes that the company will at all times be able to maintain liability coverage in an amount adequate to cover these risks, we may be held responsible for damages beyond the scope of our insurance coverage.   26

Risk Factors Related To Ownership of Our Common Shares Future sales of common shares by our principal shareholders could cause our share price to fall and reduce the value of a shareholders investment.If our principal shareholders, including our founding company, sell substantial amounts of their common shares in the public market, the market price of our common shares could fall and the value of a shareholders investment could be reduced. The perception among investors that these sales may occur could have a similar effect. Share price declines may be exaggerated if the low trading volume that our common shares have experienced to date continues. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through future offerings of our common shares or other securities. Our articles of incorporation could be amended at any time by a small group of persons, who control over 50% of the our shares, to issue an unlimited number of common and preferred shares, and significant issuances of common or preferred shares could dilute the share ownership of our shareholders, deter or delay a takeover of us that our shareholders may consider beneficial or depress the trading price of our common shares.Our articles of incorporation do not currently permit us to issue an unlimited number of common and preferred shares, but a small number of shareholders, who own large blocks of shares, could amend the articles to allow for an issuance of a greater number of common shares and authorize the issuance of preferred shares. If we were to issue a significant number of common shares, it would reduce the relative voting power of previously outstanding shares. Such future issuances could be at prices less than certain shareholders paid for their common shares. If we were to issue a significant number of common or preferred shares, these issuances could also deter or delay an attempted acquisition of us that a shareholder may consider beneficial, particularly in the event that we issue preferred shares with special voting or dividend rights. While certain national securities exchanges, and NASDAQ, require the company to obtain shareholder approval for significant issuances, we are not subject to these requirements. Significant issuances of our common or preferred shares, or the perception that such issuances may occur, could cause the trading price of our common shares to drop. Foreign investors may not be able to enforce foreign civil liability judgments against us or our directors, controlling persons and officers.We are organized under the laws of the state of Florida, USA. A majority of our directors, controlling persons and officers are residents of the USA and all or a substantial portion of their assets and substantially all of our assets are located in the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for non-U.S. holders of our common shares to affect service of process on these persons outside of the United States or to realize in foreign jurisdictions judgments rendered against them, if any. In addition, a shareholder should not assume that the courts of the USA (i) would enforce judgments of foreign courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of foreign securities laws or other laws, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, claims against us or such persons predicated upon foreign securities laws. However, a Florida state court or US federal court would generally enforce, in an original action, civil liability predicated on foreign securities laws if the laws that govern the shareholders claim according to applicable foreign law are proven by expert evidence not to be contrary to public policy as the term is applied by a US federal or state court and are not foreign penal laws or laws that deal with taxation or the taking of property by a foreign government and provided that the action is in compliance with US federal or applicable state procedural laws and applicable US or applicable state legislation regarding the limitation of actions. Also, a judgment obtained in a foreign court would generally be recognized by a US federal or state court except where, for example: · the foreign court where the judgment was rendered had no jurisdiction according to applicable foreign law;   27


Quick Link to Table of Contents


· the judgment was subject to ordinary remedy (appeal, judicial review and any other judicial proceeding which renders the judgment not final, conclusive or enforceable under the laws of the applicable state) or was not final, conclusive or enforceable under the laws of the applicable state; · the judgment was obtained by fraud or in any manner contrary to natural justice or rendered in contravention of fundamental principles of procedure; · a dispute between the same parties based on the same subject matter has given rise to a judgment rendered in a US federal or state court or has been decided in a third country and the judgment meets the necessary conditions for recognition in a US federal or state court; · the enforcement of the judgment of the foreign court was inconsistent with public policy, as the term is applied by the US federal or state court; · the judgment enforces obligations arising from foreign penal laws or laws that deal with taxation or the taking of property by a foreign government; or · there has not been compliance with applicable US federal or state laws dealing with the limitation of actions. Our share price is volatile and we may experience significant share price and volume fluctuations.In recent years, the stock markets, particularly in the technology and alternative energy sectors, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Our common shares may experience similar volatility for reasons unrelated to our own operating performance, including: · performance of other companies in the hydrogen Vehicle, fuel cell or alternative energy business; · news announcements, securities analysts reports and recommendations and other developments with  respect to our industry or our competitors; or · changes in general economic conditions. Shareholders would likely receive much less than the amount they paid for their Units if we liquidate our assets and distribute the proceeds.The current market price of our common shares significantly exceeds the net tangible book value per share of our common shares. As a result, shareholders would likely receive much less than the amount paid for their Units if we liquidate our assets and distribute the proceeds. As of December 31, 2011, there were 21,220,000 outstanding options and 30,822,816 warrants to purchase our common shares.In the future,we may issue options and warrants to purchase our common shares and if these securities are exercised, our shareholders will incur dilution which could be substantial. A significant element in our plan to attract and retain qualified personnel is the issuance to such persons of options to purchase our common shares. Accordingly, to the extent that we are required to issue significant numbers of options to our employees, and such options are exercised, a shareholder could experience significant dilution. Risk Factors Relating to Our Business Vision is a new company and, since the date of its inception on May 11, 2004, has lost money and losses may continue.We have incurred substantial losses since the companys inception and anticipate continuing to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.  Vision had $3,481 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011.  To succeed, Vision must develop new client and customer relationships and substantially increase its revenue derived from improved Vehicles and additional value-added services. Vision has expended, and to the extent it has available financing, Vision intends to continue to expend substantial resources to develop and improve its Vehicles and to market its products and services. These development and marketing expenses must be incurred well in advance of the recognition of revenue. As a result, Vision may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.   28

Our independent registered public accounting firm has added going concern language to its report on our financial statements, which means that Vision may not be able to continue operations without continued reliance on investment capital, which may not be readily obtainable.The report of Drake & Klein, C.P.A.s, our independent registered public accounting firm, with respect to our financial statements and the related notes for the period ended December 31, 2011, indicates that at the date of their report, Vision had suffered significant losses from operations and its working capital deficit raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. Our common stock may be deemed to be a penny stock, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.Our common stock may be deemed to be a "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the 1934 Act, as amended. This classification may reduce the potential market for Visions common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in Visions common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause Visions stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stocks: · with a price of less than $5.00 per share; · that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; · the prices of which are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or · in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6 million for the last three years. Broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker-dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. Failure To Achieve And Maintain Effective Internal Controls In Accordance With Section 404 Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business And Operating Results.It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded companies. If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, we were required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting, and beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. We have begun the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy these requirements, which is likely to result in increased general and administrative expenses and may shift management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While   29

our management is expending significant resources in an effort to complete this important project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our objective on a timely basis. There also can be no assurance that our auditors will be able to issue an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete our Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. In addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover material weaknesses in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines significant deficiency as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future. Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock. Vision and its Management Have Limited Experience.Vision and its management have limited prior experience in operating hydrogen drive train assembly, installation, and servicing businesses. We contemplate that we will contract with experienced personnel to provide all or a portion of day-to-day operational experience. Prospective investors should be aware that Vision has entered into only a few contracts or agreements with experienced personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully contract with other experienced personnel. We could fail to attract or retain key personnel.Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to attract, train, and retain additional highly skilled executive level management, creative, technical, and sales personnel. Competition is intense for these types of personnel from other companies and more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations and greater financial, marketing, human, and other resources than Vision. Vision may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all. Visions failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.   30

Vision depends upon its senior management and the loss or unavailability of any one of them could put Vision at a competitive disadvantage.Visions success depends largely on the skills of certain key management and technical personnel, including Martin Schuermann, Visions Secretary and President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Schuermann has an employment contract with the Company which requires him to provide his services to Vision as an employee. Moreover, the loss of the services of Mr. Schuermann could materially harm Visions business because of the cost and time necessary to replace and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert managements attention away from operational issues. Vision will not pay cash dividends and investors may have to sell their Units in order to realize their investment.Vision has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Vision intends to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and marketing of our Vehicles and services. As a result, investors may have to sell their Units of Vision common stock to realize their investment. Risks Factors Relating to Visions Industry The consumer hydrogen and alt-energy fueled product business is a relatively new market in the United States and it is impossible to determine whether or not the consumer marketplace will accept products based on hydrogen and other alternate fuels in the foreseeable future. If our Vehicle business has low consumer and/or marketplace acceptance, Vision may not secure or retain customers in quantities sufficient or necessary to become (or remain, as the case may be) profitable. Visions management anticipates that the acceptability of hydrogen as an alt-fuel source for vehicular consumers will depend on the continuing increase in demand by consumers for alternative fuels, continuing and increased government support for hydrogen as an alt-fuel source, the continuing increases in gasoline prices, public perception of the inability of the US petroleum industry to adequately supply US users with gasoline and petroleum fuels, and the perception by the marketplace that hydrogen is a safe and readily available fuel source. Conversely, should gasoline prices fall dramatically before hydrogen gains marketplace acceptance as an alternate fuel, customers most likely to accept hydrogen as an alternate fuel for cost reasons may reject hydrogen as an alternative fuel and determine to remain as vehicular gasoline users. Currently, we have no customers or hydrogen production capability.If our hydrogen Vehicle efforts are not successful, we may not be able to recoup advance expenditures for product costs and our business plan may fail. Our business and financial plan depends to a great extent on down-stream retail market demand for our Vehicles. To that end, we will market Vehicles that currently require gasoline or diesel as a fuel source. Should we, solely or in conjunction with other alt-fuel product suppliers, be unable to create adequate market demand for hydrogen and/or alternative fuels as a fuel source, we may not be able to recoup our start-up and development costs. To mitigate the costs and the risks, we intend to use off-the-shelf components and parts for assemblage of the Vehicles. We will incur a certain amount of product liability risk for the Vehicles we sell.Although we do not intend to manufacture the itemized components which will be assembled to produce our own Vision Vehicles, the company(ies) from which we purchase the components (and in some instances the vehicles themselves) for re-sale and installation may not be adequately insured or otherwise financially strong enough to weather lawsuits related to products liability, should the products fail to be fit for their intended use. Engine failure or breakdown that results from inherent product defects, or from improper installation, use and/or maintenance, could result in significant harm and/or death for persons operating a Vehicle. While we intend to insure against product liability, service liability, and related liabilities, we cannot predict with certitude whether or not the insurance will be adequate for claims made or resolved. To the extent we are not adequately insured, we will not initially   31

have the financial strength to withstand multiple suits and the business may fail for being underinsured of either the company or our products suppliers, or both. Because hydrogen and other alternate fuels have not yet been fully accepted by consumers and our ultimate customers as fuels for vehicles, we may face barriers to acceptance of our products which means we may never generate significant revenues.Our business involves the need for consumer demand for hydrogen and/or alternate-fuel fueled vehicles and products. Consumers are historically notorious in their resistance to new product acceptance when it comes to energy supplies and sources, due to fear of inherent dangers in unknown fuel sources and to an irrational and cost-blind feeling of safety with what you know attitude. Even though the alt-fuel industry has existed in the United States for over 25 years, most consumers regard the industry as young and relatively under-funded. Little money is spent on consumer education regarding alt-fuel sources and safety; consumers are generally ignorant of costs vs. benefits related to various fuel sources. Consequently, we may not be able to sustain marketplace presence long enough to experience consumer acceptance of hydrogen and or other alternate fuels as fuels to replace gasoline. Without such consumer acceptance, acceptance of our Vehicles- will not result. If we enter into strategic partnerships for production, sale or maintenance of our Vehicles, the terms and enforceability of such strategic partner relationships may be uncertain.We may enter into relationships with strategic partners for design, product development, distribution, or installation and maintenance of our existing Vehicles, and Vehicles under development, some of which may not be documented by a definitive agreement. Where definitive agreements might govern the relationships between us and our partners, we expect the terms and conditions of many of these agreements to allow for termination by the partners. Termination of any of these agreements could adversely affect our ability to design, develop and distribute these Vehicles to the marketplace and to provide installation and/or maintenance services. Often, strategic relationships are governed by a memorandum of understanding or a letter of intent. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully negotiate and execute definitive agreements with any of these potential partners, and failure to do so may effectively terminate the relevant relationship. We currently face and will continue to face significant competition.Our products face and will continue to face significant competition. New developments in technology may negatively affect the development or sale of some or all of our Vehicles or make our Vehicles uncompetitive, overpriced or obsolete. Other companies, many of which have substantially greater resources, are currently engaged in the development of products and technologies that are similar to, or may be competitive with, certain of our Vehicles and technologies. Increases in the market for alternative fueled vehicles may cause OEMs to find it advantageous to develop and produce their own hydrogen vehicles rather than purchase the Vehicles from us. In addition, greater acceptance of alternative fuel engines or fuel cells may result in new competitors. Furthermore, there are competitors, including OEMs, working on developing other fuel cell technologies in our targeted markets. A large number of corporations, national laboratories and universities in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan possess fuel cell technology and/or are actively engaged in the development and manufacture of fuel cells. Each of these competitors has the potential to capture market share in various markets, which would have a material adverse effect on our position in the industry and our business, and financial condition. Many of our competitors have financial resources, customer bases, businesses or other resources which give them significant competitive advantages. Because we face intense competition from larger and better established companies that have more resources than we do, we may be unable to develop our business plan or generate revenues.We will compete both with manufacturers of end-use vehicles in which alternate and/or hydrogen fueled systems are already in place (for example, Toyotas Prius) as well as other OEM after-market vehicle product manufacturers who decide to enter   32

the conversion kit market, who are well-established, have name brand recognition, already have excellent relationships with purchasers of other products, and are better financed. Some of the competitors are regional; some are national and/or international businesses. Moreover, as automotive assembling companies enter into the alternative fuel technology and product businesses, we can expect to see more competition in the Vision Vehicles market, as well from direct manufacturers of hydrogen fueled engines. There is no guarantee that we will be able to compete effectively, at competitive costs, with third parties. Many of our competitors may have longer operating histories, greater financial, technical, and marketing resources, and enjoy existing name recognition and customer bases. New competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. In addition, new technologies likely will increase the competitive pressures we face. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly to technological changes, competitive pressures, or changes in consumer demand. As a result of their advantages, our competitors may be able to limit or curtail our ability to compete successfully. Risks Factors Related to an Investment in our Securities Our Common shares are expected to be sporadically or thinly traded for the foreseeable future, so stockholders may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if they need to sell Vision shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares.Vision has a very, very short existence. Our common shares are expected to be sporadically or "thinly" traded for the foreseeable future. This means that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near asks prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven development stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or nonexistent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without a material reduction in share price. We cannot give our shareholders any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that our stock will achieve any trading levels and if so, that such levels will be sustained. (Current trading levels of our common stock are almost non-existent.) Due to these conditions, we can give our shareholders no assurance for the foreseeable future that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if they need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their shares. The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown development stage company with a foreseeable small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of significant revenues or profits to date for our products, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which investors have purchased our common shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. An investor may be unable to sell his/her/its common shares at or above his/her/its purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to an investor. The volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.The market for our common shares is expected to be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price will be attributable to a number of factors. First, we will have relatively few common shares outstanding in the "public float" since most of our shares are held by a small number of shareholders. In addition, as noted above, our common shares are expected to be sporadically or thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market   33

without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without a material reduction in share price. Secondly, we will be a speculative or "risky" investment due to our limited operating history and lack of revenues or profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, a higher number of risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Additionally, in the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources. Many of these factors would be beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price. Should any of the majority shareholders acquire the right to acquire substantial amounts of additional shares by option or warrant, the conversion or exercise of such securities might result in the substantial dilution of an investment in terms of a shareholders percentage ownership in the Company as well as the book value of his/her/its common shares. The sale of a large amount of shares of common stock received upon the conversion or exercise of any possible options or warrants granted to the above-referenced persons on the public market to finance the exercise price or to pay associated income taxes, or the perception that such sales could occur, could substantially depress the prevailing market prices for our shares.There are currently outstanding as of December 31, 2011, 21,220,000 options to purchase our stock issued and our President and CEO of Vision currently owns 17,000,000 of those options.  There is a corporate entity who already own 2,962,371 shares.  In the future, additional warrants or options could be granted, which, if granted and exercised would entitle the holders to shares of common stock, in addition to the shares they own outright. In the event of the exercise of these options or warrants, if granted, to purchase Company securities, an investor could suffer dilution of an investment in terms of percentage ownership in the company as well as the book value of common shares. In addition, the holders of the common share purchase options or warrants, if granted, may sell common shares in tandem with their exercise of those options or warrants to finance that exercise, or may resell the shares purchased in order to cover any income tax liabilities that may arise from their conversion or exercise of these securities. No foreseeable dividends.Vision has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Vision intends to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and marketing of our Vehicles and services. As a result, investors may have to sell their shares of Vision common stock to realize their investment. The elimination of monetary liability against our directors under our articles of incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers, and employees in our bylaws may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.Our articles of incorporation contain provisions which eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our company and shareholders to the maximum extent permitted under Florida corporate law. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our directors, officers, agents and employees to the maximum extent permitted by Florida corporate law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against   34


Quick Link to Table of Contents


directors, officers and employees, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of Vision pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Florida law, or otherwise, the SEC has nevertheless held that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Vision may incur substantial litigation expense in the process of determining whether or not the party asserting indemnification is entitled to it. If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports in a timely manner or prevent financial fraud.As we are a reporting company we will be required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments. Our internal controls will also include those of any company or business that we may acquire in the future. Acquired companies or businesses are likely to have different standards, controls, contracts, procedures and policies, making it more difficult to implement and harmonize company-wide financial, accounting, information and other systems. During the course of our testing we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadlines imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important in helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports on a timely basis or prevent financial fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could be negatively affected. We may be unable to remedy our material weakness on internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner.While we have not yet identified any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, we may find weaknesses related to the lack of internal resources necessary to apply the numerous complex accounting standards to non-routine transactions in a timely manner and may have difficulty in maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Although the Company intends to implement controls to address this type of situation, if we fail to remedy any material weakness in a timely manner, it could cause us to improperly record our financial and operating results and could result in us failing to meet our financial reporting responsibilities in future reporting periods. Any future acquisitions or transactions may not be successful.We may consummate acquisitions in order to provide increased capabilities to our existing Vehicles, supply new vehicles and services or enhance our distribution channels. We expect to continue to consider strategic acquisitions of, and investments in, other businesses that offer complementary products, services and technologies, augment our market segment coverage, geographic locations, or enhance our technological capabilities. We may also enter into strategic alliances or joint ventures to achieve these goals. If we fail to integrate acquired businesses successfully into our existing businesses, or incur unforeseen expenses in consummating future acquisitions, we could incur unanticipated expenses and losses.   35

We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition, investment, alliance, or joint venture opportunities or that we will be able to consummate any such transactions or relationships on terms and conditions acceptable to us, or those transactions or relationships will be successful.Any transactions or relationships will be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered with those matters. Risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition include, among other things: · the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of acquired businesses; · the potential disruption of our ongoing business; · the distraction of management from our business; · the unexpected loss of customers of the acquired business; · the potential inability of management to maximize our financial and strategic position as a result of an acquisition; · the potential for costs and delays in implementing, and the potential difficulty in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, including the integration of different information systems; · the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel; · the risk of entering market segments in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors in such market segments have stronger market segment positions; · the risk that there could be deficiencies in the internal controls of any acquired company or investments that could result in a material weakness in our overall internal controls taken as a whole; · the potential loss of key employees of an acquired company; and · the potential dilution of earnings through acquisitions and options granted to employees of acquired companies or businesses. Future acquisitions could result in our incurrence of additional debt and contingent liabilities, including environmental, tax or other liabilities. These liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, our ability to generate cash and ability to make required payments on our debt. Any future acquisitions could harm our operating results and share price.Any acquisitions could materially harm our operating results as a result of issuances of dilutive equity securities or payment of cash. In addition, the purchase price of any acquired businesses may exceed the current fair values of the net tangible assets of the acquired businesses. As a result, we would be required to record material amounts of goodwill, and other intangible assets, which could result in significant impairment and amortization expense in future periods. These charges, in addition to the results of operations of such acquired businesses, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We cannot forecast the number, timing or size of future acquisitions, or the effect that any such acquisitions might have on our operating or financial results.  .ITEM 2DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The Company leases its corporate office at 879 W. 190th Street, Suite 457, Gardena, CA 90248.

ITEM 3LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On April 8, 2011, Vision Industries, Corp. (Vision) commenced litigation against Lawrence Weisdorn and Donald Hejmanowski as well as ICE Conversions, Inc. (collectively the Defendants).   Weisdorn and Hejmanowski are former employees and executives of Vision.  The litigation includes causes of action for alleged breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, conversion and unfair competition (amongst other causes) as charged by Vision against the Defendants.   Vision intends to enforce its rights to the fullest extent of the law through the subject litigation.  On December 21, 2011, Vision and Hejmanowski entered into a settlement agreement, whereby both parties released each other from any past and future claims.  On January 17, 2012, LAWRENCE ERWIN WEISDORN, in his capacity as Debtor in Possession for the Bankruptcy Estate of Lawrence Erwin Weisdorn, filed and adversary claim against the company.  The company denies any wrongdoing and will continue to enforce its rights to the fullest extent of the law.

PART II    ITEM 5MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol VIIC.  The price of our stock at market closing on December 31, 2011 was $0.24 per share. As the market for our shares develops, the trading price of the common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, announcements of technological innovations, new sales formats, or new services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, conditions or trends in Internet or traditional retail markets, changes in the market valuations of other consulting services or accounting related business services, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of common stock and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for business services in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the common stock, regardless of our operating performance. Consequently, future announcements concerning us or our competitors, litigation, or public concerns as to the commercial value of one or more of our products or services may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially for reasons which may be unrelated to operating results.  These fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Cash dividends have not been paid during the last three (3) years. In the near future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of cash dividends by us are subject to the discretion of our board of directors. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant at the time by the board of directors. We are not currently subject to any contractual arrangements that restrict our ability to pay cash dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 8,838,385 shares of common stock: 7,726,300 issued through private placement offering to accredited investors; 830,000 issued through awards of stock to employees and independent contractors; and 282,085 issued for consulting services. The Company also issued 250,000 preferred shares through private placement offering.  The above private placement offering was deemed or determined by the Company to be exempt under rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offering and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom were accredited investors and transfer was restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by the above-referenced persons, we have made independent determinations that all of the above-referenced persons were accredited or sophisticated investors, and that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment.   38

General We are an operating company that is seeking to expand its operations. We have an operating history and have generated revenues from our prior business model activities that have produced both net incomes and losses in the periods in which we have been fully operational. . Our Board of Directors believes that we can expand as an on-going business during the next twelve months since we will be generating profits from our operations that can pay for our expansion of operations.  We may raise cash from sources other than our operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investment by others in the Company. We have engaged Stonegate Securities to introduce the Company to institutional investors with the intent of raising additional operating capital to fund continued growth. Our future financial success will be dependent on the success of our expansion. Such expansion may take years to complete and future cash flows, if any, are impossible to predict at this time. The realization value from any expansion is largely dependent on factors beyond our control such as the market for our services. Employees  Currently, there are seven (7) full-time employees on our payroll at Vision Industries Corp.  This includes the officers and directors who run the corporation.  Critical Accounting Policies  The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.  Our actual results could differ from those estimates.  To be as accurate with our estimates as possible, we use our historical data to forecast our future results.  Deviations from our projections are addressed when our financials are reviewed on a monthly basis.  This allows us to be proactive in our approach to managing our business.  It also allows us to rely on proven data rather than having to make assumptions regarding our estimates.  Management does not believe that our actual results are related to any sensitivity in estimates made by management.  The year-end consistency of our results has shown that our prior years historical data is the best projector of our future results.  Income Taxes  We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.    40

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (codified primarily in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (codified primarily in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes). FIN 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.  Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  We assess the potential impairment of long-lived assets, principally property and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We determine if there is impairment by comparing undiscounted future cash flows from the related long-lived assets with their respective carrying values. In determining future cash flows, significant estimates are made by us with respect to future operating results of the restaurant over its remaining lease term. If assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment charge is measured by calculating the amount by which the asset carrying amount exceeds its fair value. This process of assessing fair values requires the use of estimates and assumptions, which are subject to a high degree of judgment. If these assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 has not materially affected the Companys reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows.  In accordance with ASC360, the Company has identified impairment of its long lived assets and has disclosed these impairments in notes 3 and 4 of the financials.   Results of Operations  The following table provides a summary of the results of operations for our last two full fiscal years.

divesting themselves of the business.  At the time, our management believed we could capitalize on the number of business owners seeking to develop an appropriate exit strategy.  We changed to our current business model in 2009.  Since then, we incurred additional liabilities that made our company illiquid at times.  However, the Company has raised capital through a private placement under Regulation 506, as well as through private debentures with a European fund and a European individual.  This infusion of capital has allowed the Company to acquire test vehicles, pay its legal and accounting expenses, as well as fund the daily operational expenses.  In the event we are unable to generate sufficient funds to continue our business efforts or if the company is pursued by a larger company for a business combination we will analyze all strategies to continue the company and maintain or increase shareholder value.  Under these circumstances we would consider a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, a roll-up, or other business combination for the purposes of continuing the business and maintaining or increasing shareholder value.  Management believes its responsibility to maintain shareholder value is of paramount importance, which means the Company should consider the aforementioned alternatives in the event funding is not available on favorable terms to the Company when needed.  Due to current global sentiment towards alternative energy and fuel efficiency in the HEV/EV markets, the Company, in July 2010 entered into a non-exclusive placement agreement with Stonegate Securities, Inc., a Texas corporation, to raise capital via a private placement to be executed in the near future.  Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010  The following tables set forth key components of our results of operations and revenue for the periods indicated in dollars.

Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2011, revenues were $764,157, compared to $24,962 for the year ended December 31, 2010.The revenues generated in the current year were directly attributable to reaching milestones in the demonstration projects with the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach.  Operating Expenses.Expenses increased by $2,291,216 to $6,779,834 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $4,488,618 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The majority of the increase in  expenses is reflected in the increase in equity based compensation, an increase of $2,042,725  We believe that such equity based compensation provides incentive to employees, independent contractors and consultants engaged in capital and financing arrangements.   42

As a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenues was 40%  and 62% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31,  2010, respectively.  Income (Loss) from Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we incurred losses of $6,444,184 and $4,579,749, respectively, an increased deficit of $1,864,435.   Inflation  Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements  The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to December 31, 2011 through the date these financial statements were issued.  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  We do not have any off-balance arrangements.    ITEM 7AQUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.  The following discussion about the Companys market rate risk involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  In general, business enterprises can be exposed to market risks, including fluctuation in commodity and raw material prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates that can adversely affect the cost and results of operating, investing, and financing. In seeking to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with such activities, the Company manages exposure to changes in commodities and raw material prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates through its regular operating and financing activities. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does the Company utilize leveraged financial instruments or other derivatives.  Our operations are conducted primarily in the United States and are not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Some of our products are sourced internationally and may fluctuate in cost as a result of foreign currency swings, however, we believe these fluctuations have not been significant.

ITEM 9CHANGES AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE  On September 8, 2006, we engaged Drake & Klein, CPAs (formerly Randall N. Drake, C.P.A)., ("Drake ") as our independent auditor. He is our first auditor and we have had no disagreements with Drake on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, in connection with its reports.   ITEM 9ACONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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.  As of December 31, 2011, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the year presented.  Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting  The management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and to the board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.    44


Quick Link to Table of Contents


Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Corporation; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Corporations assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control - Integrated Framework - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies (the COSO criteria). Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.  This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporations registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.   45

Board of Directors and Committees  Currently, our Board of Directors consists of Martin Schuermann, Brett D. Mayer, and Scott Lambert. We are not actively seeking additional board members. At present, the Board of Directors has not established any standing committees, other than the Compensation and Stock Option Committee.  Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation  The Compensation Committee is comprised of all the members of the Board.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, Martin Schuermann was an employee-officer of the Company and both Brett D. Mayer and Scott Lambert were not employee-officers of the Company.   Neither Mr. Mayer nor Mr. Lambert were formerly an officer of the Company and none of the Compensation Committee members had any disclosable transactions with related persons under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.  Board members participated in the consideration of the Director compensation.  At this time, the Compensation Committee does not have a charter.  Compensation Committee Report  The Compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) with management.  Based on the review and discussions, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this annual report on Form 10-K.  COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT  The Companys Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee) has submitted the following report for inclusion in this filing on Form 10-K:  The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this filing on Form 10-K with management. Based on the Compensation Committees review of and the discussions with management with respect to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for filing with the SEC.  MEMBERS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE o Martin Schuermann, President, Director o Brett D. Mayer, Independent Director o Scott Lambert, Independent Director  Compensation and Stock Option Committee  The Compensation and Stock Option Committee (CSO Committee) is charged to advance the interests of the company by encouraging and providing for the acquisition of an equity interest in the Company by non-employee directors, officers, key employees, and consultants through the grant of options to purchase common stock.  Our CSO Committee is comprised of all members of the Board of Directors.  Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan as amended, because two of the Directors are non-employee directors, the CSO Committee now has the authority to grant Options to all Participants (any employee, consultant, advisor, or Non-Employee Director of the Company).  Accordingly, the Select Committee was dissolved.    50

ITEM 13.CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE  Certain Relations and Related Transactions:  To the best of our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, there were no transactions of an amount exceeding $120,000 involving any director, executive officer, or any security holder who is a beneficial owner or any member of the immediate family of the officers and directors.  The former President and Chairman of our company, Diane J. Harrison, is the President of Harrison Law, P.A., the Companys securities law firm.  Ms. Harrison is a licensed attorney in good standing in Florida and Nevada. She is a security holder of the Company holding less than 5% of the stock issued and outstanding on December 31, 2011.  Director Independence  In accordance with the rules of the Commission, the Board of Directors has evaluated each of its directors independence from the Company based on the definition of independence established Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K. In its review of each directors independence from the Company, the Board of Directors reviewed whether any transactions or relationships exist currently or, during the past year existed, between each director and the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates, equity investors or independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors also examined whether there were any transactions or relationships between each director and members of the senior management of the Company or their affiliates.  Based on the Board of Directors review and the Commissions definition of independence, the Board of Directors has determined that each of the following non-employee directors is independent and has no relationship with the Company, except as a director and stock option holder of the Company:  · Brett D. Mayer · Scott Lambert  In addition, based on such standards, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Martin Schuermann is not independent because Mr. Schuermann is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.    52

Drake & Klein CPAs A PCAOB Registered Accounting Firm  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM  To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Vision Industries Corp.  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vision Industries Corp. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of income, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years then ended.  The management of Vision Industries Corp. is responsible for these financial statements.  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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant 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 Vision Industries Corp. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended 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 12  to the financial statements, the Companys cash and available credit are not sufficient to support its operations for the next year.  Accordingly, management needs to seek additional financing that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 12.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  /s/Drake & Klein CPAs Clearwater, Florida April 16, 2012

VISION INDUSTRIES CORP.  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (Audited)  1. General background and business environment The Company was incorporated May 11, 2004 in the State of Florida with the intent of providing consulting services to the transportation industry.  In 2009 the company moved its headquarters to EL, Segundo CA, to concentrate on the development and production of zero-emission drivetrains for heavy duty vehicles as well as high performance sports cars.  Managements immediate vision for the high performance hydrogen drive system is to provide a pollution free transportation solution for todays drivers in California and to expedite availability of hydrogen fueling stations in and around the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, California.  The Company is uniquely positioned to leverage its knowledge and experience about alternative fuels, electronic controls, hydrogen and hybrid hydrogen/electric drive systems, and hydrogen handling and refueling.  The Company intends to become part of the truly pollution free or reduced pollution solution and alternative energy conversion systems solution for todays drivers.  2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis for Presentation In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011; (b) the financial position at December 31, 2011 and (c) cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011, have been made.  The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  These principals require 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.  Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.  Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,  On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, income taxes, equity-based compensation, litigation and warranties.  The Company bases its estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on carious other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events.

VISION INDUSTRIES CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (Audited) (Continued)  2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates (continued) The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of the Companys financial statements.  These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent for other sources.  By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.  Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term securities with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business..  The Company considers accounts more than 90 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company considers all accounts receivable to be collectable and consequently has provided no allowance for doubtful accounts  Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Significant improvements and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.  Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years.  Advertising Costs The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred and are included in the Companys operating expenses.  Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $29,211 and $5,022, respectively.  Income Taxes Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting.  Deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be taxable either when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.  Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal income taxes.  Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax asset and liability accounts.   F-9

VISION INDUSTRIES CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (Audited) (Continued)  2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Stock-Based Compensation In accordance with ASC 718-10 Share-Based Payment all forms of share-based payment (SBP) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.  The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period or period of performance of the services.  Intangible Assets Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, ranging from one to thirteen years.  We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists.  All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization.  The Company determined that there was an impairment of the carrying value of its Intangible assets as a result of completing its annual impairment analysis as of December 31, 2010.  The results of this review and impact of the impairment are more fully described in Note 4 Intangibles.  Revenue Recognition The Company typically operates on a project basis and recognizes revenue when it has completed tasks specified in the particular contract for a specific project.  From time to time Vision may sell all or part of a development project for parts or components and recognizes the revenue from the sale when items are shipped. Revenue is recognized net of sales taxes and upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Revenue is not recognized to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods.  The direct costs of a project are recorded as incurred and recognized as direct expense of a sale at time of invoice.   F-10

VISION INDUSTRIES CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (Audited) (Continued)  2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Research and Development Recognition Policy Research expenditure is recognized as an expense when it is incurred. Development expenditure is recognized as an expense except that expenditure incurred on development projects are capitalized as long-term assets to the extent that such expenditure is expected to generate future economic benefits. Development expenditure is capitalized if, and only if an entity can demonstrate all of the following:  1. its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset under development;  2. the product or process is technically and commercially feasible;  3. its future economic benefits are probable;  4. its ability to use or sell the developed asset;  5. the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the asset under development; and  6. its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell. Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Development expenditure initially recognized as an expense is not recognized as assets in the subsequent period. The development expenditure is amortized on a straight-line method over a period of not exceeding 7 years when the products are ready for sale or use. In the event that the expected future economic benefits are no longer probable of being recovered, the development expenditure is written down to its recoverable amount.  Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods.  We believe that the following impending standards may have an impact on our future filings.  The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.  Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.  Per Share Computations Basic net earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.   F-11

VISION INDUSTRIES CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (Audited) (Continued)  3. Property and equipment Property and equipment at December 31, 2011 and 2010 consist of the following:  December 31, 2011December 31, 2010Automobiles$11,238$11,238Computers5,1395,139Furniture and fixtures1,5501,550Office equipment1,0001,000Shop equipment44,03444,034Production prototypes526,753526,753589,714589,714Less accumulated depreciation(386,296)(299,140)$203,418$290,574  Property and equipment are stated at cost whereas production prototypes are stated at net realizable value.    Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Useful lives for computer equipment and software range from three to five years, and furniture, equipment, and production equipment from five to seven years. Depreciation on production prototypes uses the straight-line method over five to seven years; however, the prototypes are evaluated on a yearly basis for impairment due to changes in estimates or net realizable value.  During the companys annual review of PP&E carrying costs in the fourth quarter it was determined that due to change in estimates relating to future revenue and cash flows resulting from the automobile prototype a write down of $280,000 was necessary in the production prototypes category as of December 31, 2010.  Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $87,156 and $196,786 respectively.  4. Intangibles Intangible assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 consist of the following:  December 31, 2011December 31, 2010Beginning Balance$346,427$480,015Additions-50,800Amortization53,28134,388Impairment Charge-(150,000)$293,146$346,427  Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $53,281 and $34,388, respectively.

VISION INDUSTRIES CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (Audited) (Continued)  4. Intangibles (continued) Impairment of Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill As part of our annual impairment analysis, it was determined that the carrying amount of the Companys indefinite lived intangible assets was impaired due to a change in estimates of future revenue streams and cash flows associated with the intellectual property acquired from ICE and a write down in the Intangibles of $150,000 was recognized in December, 2010. Since this asset was acquired from ICE the write down was off set against the related liability to ICE.  5. Accrued expenses Accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $523,615 and $349,979,respectively and included operating expenses.  In 2011, the accrued expenses consist mainly of salary and payroll liabilities totaling $253,695.  6. Income Tax Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes A reconciliation of the expected federal statutory rate of 34% to the Companys actual rate as reported for each of the periods presented is as follows:  December 31, 2010December 31, 2009Expected statutory rate(34.00%)(34.00%)State income tax rate, net of federal benefit0.00%0.00%Permanent differences0.70%0.16%Federal credits0.00%(0.42%)Change in valuation allowance33.3%34.26%Effective tax rate0.00%0.00%  Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are the result of timing differences between book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, timing of income and expense recognition of certain items, net operating loss carry-forwards and credit carry-forwards.  The Company assesses temporary differences resulting from different treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded in our balance sheets. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance on an ongoing basis. In evaluating its deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future taxable income prior to the expiration of the tax attributes.    F-13

VISION INDUSTRIES CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (Audited) (Continued)  6. Income Tax (continued) Deferred Income Taxes (continued) In assessing the need for a valuation allowance the Company must project future levels of taxable income. This assessment requires significant judgment. The Company examined the evidence related to a recent history of tax losses, the economic conditions in which it operates, recent organizational changes, its forecasts and projections. The Company therefore has recorded a valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the valuation allowance.  The components of the Company's net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2010 and 2010:  December 31, 2011December 31, 2010Deferred Tax Assets:Accrued compensation$51,313$57,938Derivative(86,256)60,119Intangible assets8,123Equity compensation1,698,7021,766,579Federal and state credits19,785Net operating loss carry-forwards1,576,8531,339,948Subtotal3,240,6123,252,492Less valuation allowance3,211,642(3,215,801)Total deferred tax assets28,97036,691Deferred Tax Liabilities:Property, plant and equipment28,97036,691Total deferred tax liabilities28,97036,691Net Deferred Tax Asset0(0)  As a result of certain realization requirements of ASC Topic 718, Compensation  Stock Compensation, the table of deferred tax assets and liabilities shown above does not include certain deferred tax assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 that arose directly from (or the use of which was postponed by) tax deductions related to equity compensation in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting. Those deferred tax assets include net operating loss carry-forwards. Equity will be increased by approximately $29,000 if and when such deferred tax assets are ultimately realized. The Company uses tax law ordering for purposes of determining when excess tax benefits have been realized.    F-14

Should an ownership change occur in a future period, the Companys U.S. federal income tax net operating losses and tax credits incurred prior to the ownership change could be subject to a post-change annual usage limitation equal to the value of the Company at the time of the ownership change multiplied by the long-term tax exempt rate at such time as established by the IRS.

Debenture Financing On June 23, 2010, to obtain funding for working capital, the Company entered into securities purchase agreement with Asher Enterprises, Inc. (Asher) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue it 8% Convertible Debentures for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000. The Debenture bears interest at 8% per annum and matures 9 months from the date of issuance on March 24, 2011. The Debenture will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time after 90 days into shares of common stock, at a conversion price equal to 61% of the market price paid per share. In connection with the issuance of this convertible debenture the Company has determined that the terms of the convertible debenture include a down-round provision under which the conversion price could be affected by future equity offerings undertaken by the Company until the 9 month anniversary of such convertible debenture. In accordance with ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the convertible instrument is accounted for as a liability at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. The Company has recognized a derivative liability of $82,807 at the date of issuance. The loss, resulting from the increase in fair value of this convertible instrument was $150,922 in derivative liability for the year ended December 31, 2010. The fair value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 266%; risk-free interest rate of 2.3% and an expected holding period of nine months.  On January 3, 2011, the Company was notified by Asher Enterprises Inc. (Asher) that it was converting $15,000 of the $60,000 note outstanding stock at $0.1444 per share based on the formula laid out in section 1.2(a) of the note, which is the average of the 3 lowest prices multiplied by 61%. This conversion resulted in the issuance of 103,878 shares to Asher and left a balance on the note of $45,000.  On January 18, 2011, the Company was notified by Asher that it was converting an additional $8,000 of the $45,000 note outstanding at $0.1017 per share based on the formula laid out in section 1.2(a) of the note, which is the average of the 3 lowest prices multiplied by 61%. This conversion resulted in the issuance of 78,663 shares to Asher and left a balance on the note of $37,000.    F-17

VISION INDUSTRIES CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (Audited) (Continued)  12. Going concern issue The Companys cash and available credit are not sufficient to support its operations for the next year.  Accordingly, management needs to seek additional financing.  As stated above, on July 8, 2010, the Company entered into a non-exclusive placement agreement with Stonegate Securities, Inc., a Texas corporation, to raise capital via a private placement to be executed in the near future.  Due to current global sentiment towards alternative energy and fuel efficiency in the HEV/EV markets, management is in active discussions with Stonegate about the potential to raise approximately $10,000,000-$12,000,000 in the current year to fund continued development and commercialization of products in the heavy-duty truck market.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $14,324,210.  These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that adequate financing will be obtained.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  13. Subsequent events On February 29, 2012, Vision entered into a Sale Leaseback Agreement with Total Transportation Services, Inc. (TTSI) of Rancho Dominguez, California.  In the Agreement, TTSI would be allowed to purchase two (2) prototype hybrid Class 8 trucks from Vision for $285,000, payable in five installments of $58,145. Vision will then enter into a 48-month lease agreement for the right to use the trucks.  The lease portion is valued at $285,000, plus a 15% interest rate. At the end of the lease period, Vision will have the option to buy-back the vehicles for a $5,700 fee, plus a return of sales tax paid by TTSI.  Management has evaluated other events subsequent to the balance sheet date for the year ended December 31, 2011, through April 17th, 2012 and determined that there has not been any material events that have occurred that would require adjustments to or disclosure in our Consolidated Financial Statements.   Management has also considered all accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to year end and do not expect to have any retroactive restatement of these financial statements as a result of the subsequent implementation of any  new accounting principles.
