Note 1 –Description of business

Organization

Our Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2001, as Neah Power Systems, Inc., and together with its subsidiary, are referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”.

Business

We are engaged in the development and sale of renewable energy solutions using our direct methanol micro fuel cell technology. Our fuel cells are designed to replace existing rechargeable battery technology in a variety of applications and can run in either aerobic or anaerobic modes. We are developing solutions specifically targeted for the military, transportation vehicles, and portable electronics applications. Our long-lasting, efficient and safe power solutions include devices, such as notebook PCs, military radios, and other power-hungry computer, entertainment and communications products. We use a unique patented, silicon-based design for our micro fuel cells that creates higher power densities and enables lighter-weight, smaller form-factors, and will potentially create more cost effective manufacturing and potentially lower product costs.

We are developing two classes of fuel cells, one referred to as the PowerChip™  and the other as the PowerPlay™  product. The PowerChip™ is a silicon based fuel cell that uses traditional computer chip manufacturing to build the fuel cell. The PowerPlay™  product was developed during the last two years using some processing steps of the PowerChip™  technology and using polymeric materials for a lower cost, consumer oriented product. The PowerChip™  is targeted for applications (anaerobic) where the quality of the surrounding air is unpredictable or not available like diesel-fumes contaminated environments or underwater applications. The PowerPlay™  product uses air from the surrounding environment and is targeted for consumer-oriented and less aggressive applications for lower power ranges.

We currently have one operating segment. Our laboratory facilities and corporate office is located in Bothell, Washington.
