PART I
Item 1. |
Description of Business. |
(a) |
Business Development |
Formation
Power-Save Energy Company, (the "Company") is the successor corporation of Mag Enterprises, Inc., a Utah corporation incorporated on July 30, 1980. On September 10, 1993, an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was filed to change its name from Mag Enterprises, Inc to Safari Associates, Inc. On September 12, 2006, an amendment to
the articles of Incorporation was filed to change its name from Safari Associates, Inc. to Power-Save Energy Company.
(b) |
Business of the Company |
The Company’s Principal Products and Technology
Power-Save Energy Co., manufactures, markets, and sells electricity saving devices for homeowners, Power-Save 1200, 3200 and 3400. Power-Save also now markets and sells renewable energy devices, photovoltaic electricity systems, Power-Save Solar and Power-Save Wind Turbine that produce electricity generated from wind energy. The product lines
intended to reduce homeowner's electricity consumption, generate renewable energy and overall reduce the consumer's electric utility bill.
Power-Save Energy Co. intends to aggressively market the product lines using television as it main advertisement channel. Power-Save will market the Power-Save product lines utilizing Direct Response Television Commercials played on cable TV across America. Power-Save will retain the services of a full service Call Center to take incoming
orders as a result of the TV commercials. Power-Save will utilize PayPal Merchant services to accept payment for items and FedEx to ship products. Power –Save Energy Co. sells and ships its products to contractors who are wholesale customers of Power Save. Power Save is responsible for warehousing and shipping its product for all customers, both wholesale and retail.
Product Development
We currently manufacture and sell three products. The PS1200 is our initial product which is designed for residential use. Our PS3200 and PS3400 products are designed for light commercial and light industrial use.
All of our products are designed to reduce our customer's electricity consumption and reduce their electric utility bill. Our products reduce the amount of power drawn from the utility by storing (in their capacitors) otherwise lost electricity (watts) derived from the inductive motors in your home or business. Inductive motors are found in
such devices as air conditioning units, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, pool pumps, vacuum cleaners, furnace blower motors, and fans. The technology applied by our products collects that otherwise lost electricity and stores it. When your inductive motors are initiated, electricity is drawn from that stored electricity back to your inductive loads, thus reducing your demand for electricity.
The PS1200 is a single phase 200 amp power factor correction device. It is commonly installed on single family residence. The unit weighs approximately 7 lbs, measures 6" x 6" x 4", and installs using a 20 amp double pull breaker into the electrical panel of any home. The Power-Save 1200 is typically installed by a licensed electrician.
The PS3200 is a three phase 200 amp power factor correction device. The PS3400 is a three phase 400 amp power factor correction device. They have been designed for installation in light commercial applications. Target customers for these products are gasoline service stations, corner grocery stores, fast food restaurants, car wash facilities,
laundromats, and similar businesses. The units weigh 11 lbs, measure 10"x 10" x 6", and install using a 30 amp triple pull breaker into the electrical panel of any commercial establishment. The units are typically installed by a licensed electrician.
Page - 3
Power-Save purchases wholesale and resells at retail our Solar and Wind Turbine products. Power-Save does not own or manufacture these products independently, instead we are just a reseller of these products direct to the public. We purchase and sell standard photovoltaic systems consisting of Solar Panels, Roof Racking and Inverters.
We purchase and sell standard wind turbine technologies consisting of Mounting Structure, Poles, a Wind Turbine, and an Inverter.
Marketing and Sales
We market our products through our website, through 60 second and 120 second direct response television commercials which are played on cable TV across America, and through select Internet advertising. We retain the services of a full service call center to take incoming orders that result from the TV commercials, and use PayPal Merchant services
to accept payment for products. We farm out to independent sales individuals our telephone and email based leads and we pay sales commissions only on closed sales. Installation of our products is typically done by independent electrical contractors. We have established a nationwide network of electrical contractors and electrical service companies to act as installers and resellers of our products across the country.
Manufacturing and Distribution
We own the designs for our products. We have the products manufactured to our design specifications and under our UL certification by an unrelated third party manufacturer in China. We order from the manufacturer on a purchase order basis. The manufacturer provides warehousing services and will ship to us or directly to our customers.
While we currently rely on one manufacturer as the sole supplier of our products, we believe that the components for our products and the manufacturing and warehousing services we receive from our supplier are available from a number of other manufacturers.
Competition
We face direct competition from companies that offer products with similar features. We attempt to compete against these companies on the basis of our brand, our marketing, product pricing, product features, and reliability.
We currently have only one employee and limited financial resources. Our competitors have or may have greater financial resources, production, sales, marketing, engineering and other capabilities with which to develop, manufacture, market and sell their products, and more experience in research and development than we have. In addition,
other established or new companies may develop or market products competitive with, or superior to, our products. See "Risk Factors" above.
Government Regulation
Sales of the Company’s product are not dependent on deregulation of the electrical energy market as the Company’s product can be sold in regulated and deregulated markets.
Page - 4
Effect of Environmental Regulations
The Company is not aware of any federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment with which compliance by the Company has had, or is expected to have, a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position of
the Company.
Employees
The Company has one full time employee, its Chief Executive Officer, Michael Forster.
Item 1A. |
Risk Factors. |
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We currently depend on the services of Mr. Forster as our sole employee; the loss of Mr. Forster's services would adversely affect our business. Our future growth will be limited if we cannot successfully attract and retain employees with the expertise required for our business.
At present, Mr. Forster is our sole employee. We intend to retain a small employee base while we transition from a development company to an operating company. As a result, we are highly dependent
on Mr. Forster's services, and when we retain additional employees will be dependent upon their services. The loss of Mr. Forster, or any future key employee would have a significant impact on our operations. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to retain Mr. Forster and new key employees and to identify, hire and retain additional personnel. If we fail to hire and retain personnel in key positions, we may be unable to grow our business successfully.
We face competition from much larger and well-established companies.
We face competition from much larger and well-established companies, including KVAR Energy and others. These companies have or may have greater financial resources, production, sales, marketing,
engineering and other capabilities with which to develop, manufacture, market and sell their products, and more experience in research and development than we have. In addition, other established or new companies may develop or market products competitive with, or superior to, our products. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing technologies or products that are more effective or commercially attractive than our products or that would render our products and services
obsolete. Our success will depend in large part on our ability to maintain a competitive position with our products.
Lower than expected market acceptance of our products or services would negatively impact our business.
We have yet to establish significant customer acceptance of our products. End-users will not begin to use our products unless they determine that our products will save them energy costs and are
safe and reliable. These and other factors may affect the rate and level of market acceptance of our products, including:
• |
our product's price relative to competing products or alternative means of saving energy costs; | |
• |
effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; | |
• |
perception by our targeted end-users of our product's reliability, efficacy and benefits compared to competing technologies; | |
• |
willingness of our targeted end-users to adopt new technologies; and | |
• |
development of new products and technologies by our competitors. |
Page - 5
If our products and services do not achieve market acceptance, our ability to achieve any level of profitability would be harmed and our stock price would decline.
Price competition would negatively impact our business.
Our profitability could be negatively affected in the future as a result of competitive price pressures in the sale of energy saving products, which could cause us to reduce the price of our products.
Any such reduction could have an adverse impact on our product margins and profitability.
We may experience delays in product introductions and our products may contain defects which could seriously harm our results of operations.
We may experience delays in the introduction of new products and enhancements. Delays in product or enhancement release dates, whether caused by factors such as unforeseen technology issues or otherwise,
could negatively impact our sales revenue in the relevant period. In addition, we may terminate new product or enhancement development efforts prior to any introduction of a new product or enhancement. Any delays for new product offerings currently under development or any product defect issues or product recalls could adversely affect the market acceptance of our products, our ability to compete effectively in the market, and our reputation, and therefore could lead to decreased product sales and could seriously
harm our results of operations.
Risks Relating to Our Industry
We face risks associated with our products and product development, including new product introductions and transitions.
Energy conservation is a growing industry with increased research and development being spent on a number of alternative solutions. If we are unable to anticipate or keep pace with changes in the
marketplace and the direction of technological innovation and customer demands, our products may become less useful or obsolete and our operating results will suffer. To compete successfully, we will need to continue to demonstrate the advantages of our products and services over alternative products and technologies, and convince end users of the advantages of our products and services. The success of our products depends on several factors, including proper new product definition, product cost, timely completion
and introduction of new products, proper positioning of new products in relation to our total product portfolio and their relative pricing, differentiation of new products from those of our competitors, and market acceptance of these products.
We may be sued for violating the intellectual property rights of others.
The energy saving industry is characterized by a substantial investment in patent and other intellectual property rights. Determining whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal
and factual issues, and the outcome of patent litigation actions is often uncertain. We have not conducted an extensive search of patents issued to third parties, and no assurance can be given that third party patents containing claims covering our products, parts of our products, technology or methods do not exist, have not been filed, or could not be filed or issued.
In the event that we become subject to a patent infringement or other intellectual property lawsuit and if the relevant patents or other intellectual property were upheld as valid and enforceable
and we were found to infringe or violate the terms of a license to which we are a party, we could be prevented from selling our products unless we could obtain a license or were able to redesign the product to avoid infringement. If we were unable to obtain a license or successfully redesign our system, we might be prevented from selling our system. If there is an allegation or determination that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of a competitor or other person, we may be required to pay damages,
or a settlement or ongoing royalties. In these circumstances, we may be unable to sell our products at competitive prices or at all, our business and operating results could be harmed and our stock price may decline.
Page - 6
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
We may experience significant fluctuations in the market price of our common stock.
The market price of our common stock may experience significant fluctuations. These fluctuations may be unrelated or out of proportion to our operating performance, and could harm our stock price.
Any negative change in the public's perception of the prospects of companies that employ similar technology or sell into similar markets could also depress our stock price, regardless of our actual results.
The market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by a variety of factors, including:
• |
the announcement of new products, product enhancements, new services or service enhancements by us or our competitors; | |
• |
announcements of strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors; | |
• |
technological innovations by us or our competitors; | |
• |
quarterly variations in our results of operations; | |
• |
acquisition of one of our competitors by a significantly larger company; | |
• |
general market conditions or market conditions specific to technology industries; | |
• |
sales of large blocks of our common stock; and | |
• |
domestic and international macroeconomic factors. |
Our board of directors has the right to issue additional shares of common stock, without stockholder consent, which could have the effect of creating substantial dilution or impeding or discouraging a takeover transaction.
Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, our board of directors may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock. Any additional issuance of common stock could have the effect of impeding
or discouraging the acquisition of control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, including a transaction in which our stockholders would receive a premium over the market price for their shares, and thereby protects the continuity of our management. Specifically, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors was to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interest of the Company or our stockholders, shares could be issued by our board
of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover by:
• |
diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group; | |
• |
putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the incumbent board of directors; or | |
• |
effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover. |
The market price of our securities could be adversely affected by sales of registered and restricted securities.
Actual sales or the prospect of future sales of shares of our common stock under Rule 144 may have a depressive effect upon the price of, and market for, our common stock. As December 31, 2008,
28,956,988 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. Of such issued and outstanding shares, 20,063,902 are currently "restricted securities." In addition, the balance of the outstanding shares under some circumstances may, in the future, be under a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the "Securities Act," or in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act. In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of other conditions, a person who has beneficially
owned restricted shares of common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three month period, a number of shares that:
• |
does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class; or | |
• |
if the common stock is quoted on NASDAQ or a stock exchange, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks immediately preceding the sale. |
Page - 7
A person who presently is not and who has not been one of our affiliates for at least three months immediately preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares of common stock for at
least two years is entitled to sell these shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the volume limitations described above. We cannot predict what effect, if any, that sales of shares of common stock, or the availability of these shares for sale, will have on the market prices prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market may adversely effect prevailing prices for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise
capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.
An investment in our company may be diluted in the future as a result of the issuance of additional securities.
In order to raise additional capital to fund our business plan, we may issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into common stock from time
to time, which could result in substantial dilution to current stockholders. The issuance of additional debt securities would result in increased expenses and could result in covenants that would restrict our operations. No arrangements for any such offering exist, and no assurance can be given concerning the terms of any future offering or that we will be successful in issuing common stock or other securities at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may not be able to continue our operations or implement
our planned additional research and development activities, any of which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We may be the subject of securities class action litigation due to future stock price volatility.
In the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have often instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any
of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. The lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management.
We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have paid no cash dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to date. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In
addition, the terms of any future debt or credit facility, if any, may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
Because we will be required to comply with the internal control attestation provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 beginning for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our compliance with the SEC's rules concerning internal controls will not be
costly, time-consuming and or difficult for us.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or "SOX," that became law in July 2002 requires changes in some of our corporate governance, public disclosure and compliance practices. Currently, the SEC's rules
under Section 404 of SOX will require us to have our management attest to the adequacy of our internal controls in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. No member of our management has any experience in complying with Section 404. Furthermore, we have been advised by our independent registered public accounting firm that we will not be required to make substantial changes to our internal controls in order for our management to be able
to attest that as of December 31, 2008, our internal controls are effective. Larger public companies which have been required to comply with Section 404 have encountered significant expenses, both from diversion of management time and attention, the acquisition of new computer software, the employing of additional personnel and training and third party internal controls consultants. While our business is not as sophisticated or complex as these larger companies, we anticipate it will not be
time-consuming, costly and or difficult for us to develop and implement the internal controls necessary for our management to attest that our internal controls are effective as of December 31, 2008. We may need to hire additional financial reporting and internal controls personnel, acquire software and retain a third party consultant during 2008. If our management is unable to attest that our internal controls
are effective as of December 31, 2008, investors may react by selling our stock and causing its price to fall.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may be detrimental to investors.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Stocks traded on the OTC Bulletin Board generally have limited trading volume and exhibit a wide spread between the bid and ask quotation.
Accordingly, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our stock is not active.
Line of Credit
At the present time, the Company does a $70,000 line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank with a zero balance.

Item 3. |
Legal Proceedings. |
Power-Save was dismissed from a recently filed lawsuit reported in our last 10-Q. As previously stated in the 10-Q, “On or about July 18, 2008, Power-Save Energy Company was served with a lawsuit for wrongful death from an auto accident involving Michael Forster’s son, Alex Forster.” Power-Save has been completely
dismissed from this lawsuit with prejudice against the Plaintiff from ever filing a subsequent lawsuit against Power-Save. The dismissal was filed by the plaintiffs counsel in the San Luis Obispo Superior Court on August 19, 2008. An 8k-information statement will be filed related to the dismissal.
On or about September 6, 2007, we were served with a lawsuit from a former officer of our predecessor company, Safari Associates, Inc. The former officer, Stephen Steeneck, alleges breach of contract, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment and other causes of action for failure to remit payment on loans Mr. Steeneck alleges he made to Safari Associates,
Inc. and for failure to pay deferred compensation in the amount of $500,000.00. On February 17, 2009, Mr. Steeneck obtained a judgment against the Company for $125,520.06.
In addition, from time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. However,
in the opinion of our management, there are no legal claims currently pending or threatened against us that would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. |
Market for Common Stock
The common stock of this Issuer is now quoted Over the Counter on the Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") (Symbol PWSV). We have one class of securities, Common Voting Equity Shares ("Common Stock"). The Company's Securities may be quoted in the over-the-counter market, but there is presently, and historically, no substantial market for our common
stock. Even so, quotations for, and transactions in, the Securities are capable of rapid fluctuations, resulting from the influence of supply and demand on relatively thin volume. There may be buyers at a time when there are no sellers, and sellers when there are no buyers, resulting in significant variations of bid and ask quotations by market-making dealers, attempting to adjust changes in demand and supply. A young market is also particularly vulnerable to short selling, sell orders by persons owning no shares
of stock, but intending to drive down the market price so as to purchase the shares to be delivered at a price below the price at which the shares were sold short. Based upon standard reporting sources, the following information is provided during the fiscal years 2008 and 2007:

(b) Holders
As of December 31, 2008, there were approximately 349 stockholders of record of the Company's Common Stock. The number does not include beneficial owners who held shares at broker/dealers in "street name"
(c) Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock, and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the next year. We anticipate that any income generated in the foreseeable future will be retained for the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of
Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, debt service, capital requirements, business conditions, the financial condition of the Company and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

DEBT and SERVICES
As of the date of the issuances set forth above, the average daily high and low bids were unavailable to the Issuer. The Company's Securities may be quoted in the over-the-counter market, but there is presently, and historically, no substantial market for our common stock. This Issuer has determined that, quotations for, and transactions in,
the Securities are capable of rapid fluctuations, resulting from the influence of supply and demand on relatively thin volume. There may be buyers at a time when there are no sellers, and sellers when there are no buyers, resulting in significant variations of bid and ask quotations by market-making dealers, attempting to adjust changes in demand and supply. A young market is also particularly vulnerable to short selling, sell orders by persons owning no shares of stock, but intending to drive down the market
price so as to purchase the shares to be delivered at a price below the price at which the shares were sold short.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the period ended June, 2008, the Company issued a total of 1,925,716 shares of restricted common stock in a private placement with net proceeds of $1,033,871 received by the Company. The company issued a warrant to the underwriter to purchase 75,078 share of restricted common stock at $.58 per share. The Company intends to
account for the fair value of the warrant as an expense of the private offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value of this warrant is approximately $109,853 ($ 1.46 Per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the warrant granted to the underwriter is estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (I) expected volatility of 40 %, (2) risk free interest rate of 2.75
% and (3) expected life of 2 years.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations or Plan of Operation. |
OVERVIEW
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations includes "forward-looking" statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. We use words such as we "expect," "anticipate," "believe," and "intend" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
You should be aware that actual results may differ materially from our expressed expectations because of risks and uncertainties inherent in future events and you should not rely unduly on these forward looking statements. We will not necessarily update the information in this discussion if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate. Reference in the following discussion to "our", "us" and "we" refer to our operations and the operations of our subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise
indicates or requires.
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited Financial Statements included in this filing. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and reflect our historical financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows. The financial information included in this filing, is not necessarily indicative of our future performance.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FISCAL YEAR 2008 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2007
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $5,963,483 compared to $2,309,907 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This is an increase of $3,653,575 (158%). Sales of the Company's PS1200 energy-savings product for homeowners and the introduction of two new products, the PS 3200 and PS 3400 for light commercial and industrial
continued to increase in 2008, and, in July 2008, the Company introduced its solar products which accounted for over $1,000,000 in revenue. The gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $3,605,518 compared to $1,870,033 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This was an increase of $1,735,485 (93%). The gross profit percentage for all of 2008 was 60.5% compared to 80.1% for 2007. The decrease in gross profit percentage was the result of two factors: (1) the gross profit percentage from the solar energy
products is lower than the gross profit percentage of the Power-Save home and commercial energy savings devices, and (2) the Company increased commercial sales through resellers which resulted in lower margins. The cost of sales includes the cost of the power savings products manufactured for the Company and solar products purchased from outside vendors. Other costs included in costs of goods sold are warehouse costs and shipping expenses.

Advertising and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $513,139 compared to $296,483 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This was an increase of $216,656 (73%). The Company continued to market its home and commercial power savings devices through television and internet advertising. In addition, in 2008 the Company produced
a new commercial for the television promotion of its solar products.
Sales commissions for the year ended December 31, 2008 was$1,034,401 compared to $655,558 for year ended December 31, 2007. This was an increase of $540,544(82%).
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $1,034,401 compared to $465,096 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $596,305. Included in the increase were the following items which are considered to be nonrecurring. (1) The Company lost a lawsuit in February with a former executive of the Company.
The total judgment entered against the Company was $125,520 including interest, plus legal fees incurred by the Company to defend the lawsuit of $32,050. (2) The Company incurred a bad debt expense of $122,259 from one customer who filed for bankruptcy. The company was an installer of solar products. (3) The Company incurred $55,795 in legal and accounting bill for due diligence for a merger which was not consummated. Other major increases in general and administrative expenses are as follows. Due to the increase
in revenue, the costs associated with processing credit card and other payments systems increased by $59,505 (171%). Printing and production costs for brochures and other printed materials increased by $62,692 (1198%). With the addition of a new warehouse and showroom, the Company incurred occupancy costs of $40,758 in 2008. There were no facilities in 2007. Travel and other related expenses increased by $130,568 in 2008. The majority of the costs were incurred for trips to China to provide due diligence on products
the Company was importing and review the costs and design of the solar product which was introduced in 2008 and wind turbine products. All other general and administrative expenses showed minor increase and decrease representing less than 1% of the increase in general and administrative expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2008, the current assets exceeded the current liabilities by $1,999,341. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the current assets exceeded the current liabilities by $444,088. The increase of $1,552,253 was a result of net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $591,039, proceeds from the issuance of common stock,
less increase in investing activities of $74,482. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $71,260. Net income and the proceeds of the sale of common stock totaling $1,624,910allowed to diversify its product line to include solar energy systems. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of stock and income to increase inventory for the solar energy systems and increase accounts receivable. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily from the sale
of solar energy systems, primarily to contractors.
The cash flow from operations based on the current level of revenue is positive. The Company does not have any current commitments for capital expenditures or other any other commitments that would result in a change in cash flow or cash requirements.
The Country is currently in a housing slump brought on by the recession and mortgage foreclosures. The Company’s products are directly related to the housing market and any prolonged slump could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. Legislation passed by the U.S. Congress provide for energy credits on products
currently sold by the Company. When the Country starts to come out of the recession, this legislation could have a positive effect on products sold by the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities“. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial
position and results of operations.
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. Management
is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or events. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and retrospective application is prohibited.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated
net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations,
and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued 142-3 “Determination of the useful life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors a company should consider when developing renewal assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset under SFAS142. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 142 requires companies to consider whether renewal can be completed without substantial cost or material modification of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. FSP 142-3 replaces the previous useful life criteria with a new requirement—that an entity consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. If historical experience does not exist then the Company would consider market participant
assumptions regarding renewal including 1) highest and best use of the asset by a market participant, and 2) adjustments for other entity-specific factors included in SFAS 142. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No.142-3 will have on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of
Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No.
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF
POWER-SAVE ENERGY COMPANY
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Power-Save Energy Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 . These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over its financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 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 Power-Save Energy Company as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended, December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

POWER SAVE ENERGY COMPANY.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and Principal Activities
Organization and Description of Business
Power-Save Energy Company ("the Company") is the successor corporation of Mag Enterprises, Inc., a Utah corporation incorporated on July 30, 1980. On September 10, 1993, an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was filed to change its name from Mag Enterprises, Inc. to Safari Associates, Inc. On September 12, 2006, an amendment to the
articles of incorporation was filed to change its name from Safari Associates, Inc. to Power-Save Energy Company.
The Company manufactures, markets, and sells renewable energy and energy savings products
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements, including the estimated useful lives of tangible and
intangible assets. Management believes the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. At December 31, 2008 the carrying cost of these instruments approximate their fair value.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. The Company reviews its accounts receivable by aging category to identify significant customers or invoices with known disputes or collectibility issues. For those invoices not specifically
reviewed, the Company provides reserves based on the age of the receivable. In determining the amount of the reserve, we make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. The Company also considers historical levels of credit losses and current economic trends that might impact the level of future credit losses. When the Company determines that amounts are uncollectible they are written off against the allowance.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a FIFO basis. Inventory includes electric savings devices and renewable energy solar systems.
Intangible Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability
of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". The Company recognizes revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
transferred to the customer pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, including factors such as when there has been evidence of a sales arrangement, delivery has occurred, or service have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable,
and collection is reasonably assured. The Company is responsible for warehousing and shipping the merchandise.
Stock - Based Compensation
The Company may periodically issue shares of common stock for services rendered or for other costs and expenses. Such shares will be valued based on the market price of the shares on the transaction date.
The Company may periodically issue stock options to employees and stock options or warrants to non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs.
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and
non-employees. There were no stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Earnings Per Common Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, requires presentation of basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding (including shares reserved for issuance) during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

POWER SAVE ENERGY COMPANY.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Advertising
Advertising, promotion and marketing programs are charged to operations in the period incurred.
Segmented Information
Management has determined that the Company operates in one dominant industry segment. Additional segment disclosure requirements will be evaluated as it expands its operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $100,000 insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the
customer’s financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required. Accounts are “written-off” when deemed uncollectible.
Special – purpose entities
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing activities.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, management expectations for future performance, and other
assumptions as appropriate. Key areas affected by estimates include the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, which is based on such factors as estimated future cash flows. The Company re-evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may vary from those estimates.
Website Development Costs
The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-2. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1
which requires the capitalization of certain costs that meet specific criteria, and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.
Note 3 – Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities“. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported
in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for
research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction
at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or events. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and retrospective application is prohibited.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should
be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160
to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how
and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In April 2008, the FASB issued 142-3 “Determination of the useful life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors a company should consider when developing renewal assumptions used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset under SFAS142. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 142 requires companies to consider whether renewal can be completed without substantial cost or material modification of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. FSP 142-3 replaces the previous useful life criteria with a new requirement—that an entity consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements. If historical experience does not exist then the Company would consider market participant
assumptions regarding renewal including 1) highest and best use of the asset by a market participant, and 2) adjustments for other entity-specific factors included in SFAS 142. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No.142-3 will have on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as described in this Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of
Statement 60. Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables). This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of FASB Statement No.
133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Controls and Procedures. |
Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Michael Forster, Power-Save’s Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures. In establishing such controls and procedures, he considered, among
other factors, a cost-benefit analysis of implementing certain controls and recognized that no matter how well designed and operated, the existence of controls and procedures provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
Mr. Forster evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008 based on (1) whether there was a design to ensure that material information relating to the Company was made known to our Chief Executive Officer by others, particularly during the period in which this report
was being prepared and (2) effective, in that they provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act was recorded and communicated to our management and then processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
Based upon its evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file and furnish under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of Michael Forster, our Chief Executive Officer, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).
Our management conducted its annual evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management reviewed its policies and procedures designed to (1) maintain records
in reasonable detail so that transactions concerning the Company’s assets are accurately and fairly reflected; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent 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 us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Limitations on Controls. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and controls may become inadequate if conditions change. There can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Company’s Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. In management’s opinion, there were no material changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter for the year ending December 31, 2008, covered
by this report, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
The directors of the Registrant have voted on the compensation for their services as directors.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Utah Revised Business Corporation Act permits a Utah corporation to indemnify a present or former director or officer of the corporation (and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation
in related capacities) for liabilities, including legal expenses, arising by reason of service in such capacity if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed, to the best interests of the corporation, and in any criminal proceeding if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any matter as to which such
director or officer shall have been adjudged liable, except in certain limited circumstances.
Page - 28
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not presently provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors. However, we may elect to approve such indemnification, by amendment to
our articles of incorporation or bylaws, in the future. Pursuant to Sections 16-10a-902 and 16-10a-907of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Having these provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions would not eliminate the directors' duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available
under Utah law. In addition, each director would continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions that the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Company or its stockholders, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard for
the director's duty to the Company or its stockholders when the director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to the Company or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the Company or its stockholders, for improper transactions between the director and the Company and for improper distributions to stockholders and loans to directors and officers. Any such provision also would not
affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities law or state or federal environmental laws.
The indemnification provided by the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act is not exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer may be entitled. The general effect of the foregoing
provisions may be to reduce the circumstances under which an officer or director may be required to bear the economic burden of the foregoing liabilities and expense.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
We maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by our directors and officers in connection with the performance of their duties. The entire premium for such insurance is paid by us.
