Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth below under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

Our Business

Until recently, we held the exclusive world-wide license for the development and commercialization of the zinc air fuel cell ("ZAFC") technology developed through an extensive joint collaboration effort with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ("LLNL") and the United States Department of Energy ("DOE"). We also held exclusive world-wide rights to a second LLNL patent pertaining to a low-cost process for recovering zinc and converting it to pellet form for reuse in the ZAFC system. LLNL is a leading United States Government research and development facility located in Livermore, California. Our agreement with LLNL terminated on November 3, 2009. Since then we have developed new, next generation ZAFC designs.

Our ZAFC technology is a metal oxide fuel cell using simple physical chemistry. Our objective is to commercialize the ZAFC technology to the stage where the technology can be incorporated into ZAFC products that can be manufactured and sold or leased for use as the power supply for commercial applications. We plan to continue this development work in order to develop products incorporating our ZAFC technology that can be commercially marketed to consumers and businesses. In pursing this objective, we plan to undertake strategic relationships with original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") who would incorporate our ZAFC technology into fuel cell powered products to be manufactured and sold by the OEM. As well, we plan to develop and design end-user commercial products that will be manufactured by third party contract manufacturers, and marketed and distributed by Power Air directly.

We will continue technology development to develop a ZAFC-based portable emergency generator designed for back-up or emergency use in homes and small businesses. We have developed prototypes of both of these products using our ZAFC technology. In order to complete development of commercial products, we will have to complete the following phases of development:

  • completion of technology development required to complete a "technology transfer" to product development;
  • completion of the design, manufacture and testing of engineering prototypes;
  • completion of the design, manufacture, testing and certification of manufacturing prototypes; and
  • pilot production of commercial products.

We anticipate that we will require additional financing to enable us to complete the design and testing of engineering prototypes and to complete the certification and pilot production of commercial ZAFC generators. We intend to raise additional equity financing to continue our technology and product development projects, to fund the manufacturing and packaging of our initial ZAFC Series inventories and to expand our engineering and sales/marketing headcount. However, we do not currently have such financing in place.

Our long-term goal is to be a commercially viable fuel cell company, powering low cost, silent, zero emission fuel cell based products developed with OEM partners for portable, stationary, light mobility and transportation markets. However, we have not yet completed the development of any products incorporating our ZAFC fuel cell technology that can be commercially marketed and sold. Further, we have not achieved any revenues to date, and we are currently considered a development stage company. We anticipate achieving initial product revenues beginning in 100/200W backup power suppliers, although there is no guarantee that we will achieve these results. We will require substantial additional financing for us to achieve our business objectives.

During 2010, technical resources have been dedicated to the following tasks:

  • Completing the setup of the engineering and prototype-development facility in Coquitlam. This facility is now fully operational.
  • Preparing of a chemical R&D facility in Burnaby for diagnostic ZAFC development work, air cathode development, and electrolyte development. While all of the facility's envisioned capabilities are not yet ready, the facility is operational and is already being used for electrolyte and cell development work.
  • Selecting between two zinc-feeding cell designs for the ZAFC. After extensive testing, one of the designs was selected based on cell performance and reliability. Our 50%-owned subsidiary, Power Air (Canada) Corp. ("PACC"), is now exclusively using this design for testing and development. PACC believes that this new design is a new invention that is not covered by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC's ("LLNS") previous zinc/air fuel cell patents.
  • Completing synthesis of an air-cathode catalyst for the ZAFC. A new, high-performance catalyst has been synthesized and characterized. This new catalyst will be incorporated in PACC's air cathodes.
  • Planning for production and evaluation of internally developed, prototype-scale air cathodes with a clear path for scaling up to higher cathode volumes.
  • Development of analytical techniques to support the electrolyte-filtration concept filed in our patent-pending application.
  • Identifying and sourcing of new components to replace third party components that may be life-limiting components in the ZAFC.
  • Identifying of grant opportunities and discussions with potential university, industrial, and national laboratory collaborators to help fund ZAFC development work.

We expect that certain core technology development projects will be conducted in parallel with the core ZAFC stack commercialization to ensure the ongoing development of intellectual property, reduce the reliance on third party suppliers for key components, and extend the potential applications for ZAFC technology. The output of such projects may be two to three years in the future but, we believe, will open up additional market sectors through extended lifetime and lower costs. In all cases, we will make best efforts to ensure that our direct spending on such projects will be minimized through the use of government grants, tax incentives and co-development with other parties.

As we update the ZAFC design and complete our development work, we anticipate that many of the core components and materials will change. Each variation will require extensive single-cell and unit testing as well as forensic work. While it is reasonable to acquire some test and lab apparatus (load banks, etc.), we believe that many of the environmental tests may be more cost effectively undertaken in conjunction with a third party.

We anticipate that manufacturing of any commercial products incorporating our core ZAFC cell or stack technology will be undertaken by an OEM or a contract manufacturer under agreement with us. At the same time, design of the products, especially design of the core ZAFC stack for the manufacturing prototype, will require extensive input from not only experienced designers and engineers, but also from experienced production staff. On September 27, 2006, we entered into a four phase Development and Pre-Manufacturing Agreement (the "Mid States Agreement") with Mid States Tool and Machine Inc. of Decatur, Indiana ("Mid States"). Mid States is an established plastics tooling and machining company that has advanced computer aided design and manufacturing capability to allow for the easy iteration of designs during the prototyping phase. Pursuant to the Mid States Agreement, Mid States will re-design, cost-reduce, tool and manufacture the ZAFC. It is still intended that Mid States will be one of our contract manufacturers for the initial ZAFC cells for use in our ZAFC commercial products in North America.

In the third quarter of 2009, we moved our primary research and development facility to Vancouver, B.C., Canada from Livermore, California. We believe that we will have access to a very talented pool of engineers at greater value in Vancouver. This facility accommodates personnel required to implement the application design, development and commercialization phases of the ZAFC system. We plan to carry out the majority of our development and engineering work at our Vancouver facility.

Subsidiaries

We own 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Power Air Tech, Inc., which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in October of 1997. We also own 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Power Air (Canada) Corp., which was formed under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on December 12, 2005. Power Air (Canada) Corp. is considered a variable interest entity due to our control over the operations and 100% funding of costs to date, and thus is considered a 100% consolidated subsidiary.

Plan of Operations

Our objective is to commercialize the ZAFC technology to the stage where the technology can be incorporated into ZAFC products that can be manufactured and sold for use as the power supply commercial applications. Smaller and shorter run-time products are, in general, easier to bring to market provided that miniaturization is not required.

Subject to receipt of sufficient financing, as to which we cannot give any assurances, our specific plan of operations over the next twelve months is to continue to improve the design of, and to manufacture ZAFC prototypes that can be commercialized with OEM partners. We plan to continue development work on a ZAFC-based portable emergency generator designed for back-up or emergency use in homes and small businesses.

In order to complete development of commercial products, we will have to complete the following phases of development:

  • completion of technology development required to complete a "technology transfer" to product development;
  • completion of the design, manufacture and testing of engineering prototypes;
  • completion of the design, manufacture, testing and certification of manufacturing prototypes; and
  • pilot production of commercial products.

Subject to the receipt of sufficient financing, we plan to spend approximately $3 million over the next twelve months in carrying out our plan of operations. At June 30, 2010, we had cash of $5,552 and a working capital deficit of $503,232. As such, we will need significant financing to pursue our plan of operations. We intend to attempt to raise additional equity financing to continue our technology and product development projects, to fund the manufacturing and packaging of our initial inventories and to expand our engineering and sales/marketing headcount. However, we do not currently have such financing in place, and there is no assurance we will be obtain to obtain sufficient financing.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

We recorded a net loss of $280,937 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $150,969 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a increase in development and engineering expenses.

Development and engineering expenses increased to $104,906 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $(84,943) during the three months ended June 30, 2009. We recorded a credit of $84,640 with respect to development and engineering expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to a reversal of a payable to the National Research Council of Canada (NRC).

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009

We recorded a net loss of $1,018,681 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $1,449,443 for the ninemonths ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the termination of our agreement with LLNL on November 3, 2009 because we were no longer obligated to pay the license fee. In addition, we settled the obligation on an abandoned lease of our former facilities in Livermore, California and therefore, are no longer incurring obligations under that lease.

Development and engineering expenses increased to $371,525 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $208,479 during the nine months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was due to our increased operations between these two periods.

15


General and administrative expenses totaled $527,178 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $827,692 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was the result of fewer employees and lower professional fees. The decrease of the license fee is due to the termination of the agreement with LLNL on November 3, 2009. The increase in interest expenses is due to an accrual for a Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Claim from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth our cash and working capital as of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009:

Working capital (deficit)

$(503,232)

$(928,326)

We must be able to raise additional working capital in order to have enough working capital to restart our various projects to then become a revenue generating company.

Going Concern

We currently have no sources of revenue to provide incoming cash flows to sustain future operations. Our ability to emerge from the development stage with respect to any planned principal business activity is dependent upon whether we are successful in efforts to enter into OEM joint venture agreements, to raise additional equity financing and generate revenue, cash flow and attain profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any of the above objectives. In particular, if we are not able to raise additional capital, these objectives will not be met. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2010, we had accumulated net losses of $24,459,417 since inception, with $5,552 cash on hand and a $503,232 working capital deficit. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

Operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 used cash of $1,080,971, compared to $671,738 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, which reflects our recurring losses. Operating activities have primarily used cash as a result of the development and engineering of our technology, marketing and administrative and fund raising activities.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Investing activities used $47,712 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $30,036 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. This cash was used to purchase equipment.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

As we have had virtually no revenues since inception, we have financed our operations primarily by using existing capital reserves, entering into settlements with debtors, obtaining debt financing from our directors, officers and major stockholders and through private placements of our common shares. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $710,000, as compared to $260,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, as a result of the receipt of cash proceeds from the issuance of our common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates include the accounting for accounts receivable, marketable securities and long-lived assets reclamation costs, and accounting for legal contingencies.

Variable Interest Entity

On May 31, 2006, the Company's inactive Canadian subsidiary, Power Air (Canada) Corp. was 50% owned by a Canadian resident individual and 50% owned by the Company. On June 1, 2006, this subsidiary became active and Power Air (Canada) Corp. began conducting scientific research and experimental development activities in Canada ("SR&ED") and claiming for Canadian Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax credits. The Company funds 100% of the expenditures and is at risk for 100% of its losses, and as a result is the party with the controlling financial interest and the primary beneficiary. Power Air (Canada) Corp. has no other financing other than amounts received from Power Air Corporation. The Company has controlling financial interest and is the primacy beneficiary of Power Air (Canada) Corp., which is determined to be a variable interest entity. As a result of this characterization, it is consolidated in our financial statements as though it is a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of fair value of stock based compensation and other stock based payments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Development and Engineering Expenditures

Due to the Company's lack of revenues and forecast of significant capital required to develop products and a market for its products, the net realizable value of prototype material and intangible assets is not reasonably determinable. Accordingly, all research and development expenditures including the costs of prototype material and the cost of obtaining intangible assets such as patents, have been charged to operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2010, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments, which include cash, other current assets, accounts payable and advance from related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Currently, the Company operates in Canada therefore it exposed to foreign exchange risk.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of asset and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes, which requires deferred taxes to be recorded at the statutory rate expected to being in effect when

17


the taxes are paid. Valuation allowances are provided for a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be realized.

Management evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position includes a determination of whether a tax position should be recognized in the financial statements, and such a position should only be recognized if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities, based upon the technical merits of the position. For those tax positions that should be recognized, the measurement of a tax position is determined as being the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has estimated the fair value of each award as of the date of grant or assumption using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are freely transferable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the Company's stock price.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions mainly occur in Canadian currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars are translated into United States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in Canadian currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Any gain or loss on foreign currency translation is included in operations. To date, such amounts have not been significant.

Property and Equipment

Depreciation is provided on all property and equipment utilizing the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five years, except leasehold improvements, which are amortized over the term of the lease.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification, which establishes a sole source of U.S. authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately ninety accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Company adopted the Codification in the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities, which is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes of financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Dr. Kwang Seop Jung, our principal executive officer, and Seidal Bae, our principal financial officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, as previously filed with the SEC, specifically: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (2) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of certain US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, we are committed to improving our financial organization. As funds become available, we will undertake to: (1) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives, (2) increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function, and (3) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent quarterly period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
