Overview of Our Business
 
We are a clean technology company that develops and manufactures propulsion systems for advanced Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles for medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses by integrating our proprietary electric power conversion, electric power control and energy storage systems with a range of off-the-shelf components including electric motors and storage batteries. Our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle systems are either series or parallel configuration hybrids that are optimized for different applications. Our environmentally friendly and cost-effective Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle systems allow vehicles to operate at lower costs and with lower vehicle emissions.
 
Alternatively Fueled Vehicles
 
General
 
We compete in the alternatively fueled vehicles market. Alternatively fueled vehicles include various types of vehicles that utilize electric and hybrid electric technology, hydrogen fuel cell technology, compressed natural gas, biodiesel, ethanol, propane and liquefied natural gas, or a combination of these technologies and fuels. There are more than 1,500,000 on-road alternatively fueled vehicles of all vehicle classes in use in the United States today, growing 9.3% per year since 1995. Each year in North America, an estimated 500,000 new medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses are sold, each with an estimated average life of ten years.
 
Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles
 
Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles have emerged as a revolutionary solution for improved fuel efficiency and reduced vehicle emissions. Electric vehicles operate solely on electric power. Hybrid electric vehicles are capable of operating on both electricity and a conventional or alternative power source.
 
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
 
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles are powered both by battery power and a conventional or alternative fuel source and with energy taken from a power grid. This reduces the amount of conventional or alternative fuel required to operate a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle when compared to a hybrid electric vehicle. Our technology can be deployed in electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. Any vehicle, whether it operates on diesel, gasoline or an alternative fuel source, can be made a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles are therefore known as being fuel agnostic. A Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle consumes less fuel, requires less maintenance and typically has a longer lifespan than conventional gas-powered vehicles.

We estimate the addressable market for our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle systems in newly-manufactured vehicles, which excludes vehicles that may be retrofitted with our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle systems, to be approximately $1.8 billion per year. This assumes modest growth in the number of medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses and 10% adoption of hybrid electric power at an estimated cost of $25,000 to $30,000 per vehicle. This cost target will not be achieved without substantial unit volume production of hybrid power trains. Several factors are driving accelerating demand in this market: (i) economic and political instability in many of the world’s largest oil producing countries placing increasing pressures on fuel costs, (ii) attempts to reduce the United States’ dependence on foreign oil by displacing imported petroleum with electricity generated from domestic fuels and (iii) increasingly stringent emissions standards. In addition, initiatives by the federal government, including the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Clean Efficient Automobiles Resulting from Advanced Technologies Act of 2003 support the development and use of clean technologies. Hybrid electric propulsion offers a highly attractive, affordable and user-friendly solution.
 
Odyne’s Value Proposition
 
Our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle solution offers several advantages to stand-alone alternatively fueled vehicles and vehicles powered by conventional internal combustion engines, including lower vehicle emissions and lower operating costs through greater fuel efficiency and lower maintenance costs. Our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system integrates off-the-shelf products, advanced control systems and our modular, build-to-order propulsion system. This combination allows our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system to be competitively priced while retaining the flexibility to build to customer specifications and enabling later modifications to extend the life of a vehicle and meet evolving customer needs. The Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle can be recharged overnight by plugging into a high-capacity 220-volt electrical outlet.

To protect the value of our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system, we have filed patent applications to cover our vehicular battery carriers and cooling systems, vehicle monitoring and control systems, battery management systems and vehicle charging system.
 
Business and Growth Strategy
 
We have developed a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle propulsion system for Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks and buses that encompasses proprietary battery and thermal management technology, unique system architecture and modular/scalable configuration. Class 6, 7 and 8 are vehicle weight classifications for most semi-trucks, busses and trailers. Current and prospective customers for our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle systems include original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), municipalities and private fleet operators.

Through the end of 2007, we delivered five Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, consisting of two buses and three trucks, to five different customers. In the same timeframe, we also delivered five PHEV kits to two different customers, one being an OEM and the other a retrofitter.

We have developed strategic relationships and strategic partnerships to further our development, marketing, and manufacturing of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle systems for medium and heavy-duty vehicles. Long Island Power Authority (known as LIPA), the non-profit electric utility serving southeastern New York, has agreed to work with us to promote our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle technology and to collaborate with us on product demonstrations. ElDorado National, a subsidiary of Thor Industries, Inc., has agreed to supply bus gliders and bodies for the Odyne/LIPA demonstration program and future projects. General Electric supplies induction traction drive motors to us and has worked with us to select induction motors that can meet a range of requirements. Bosch Rexroth provides certain drive systems as well as electric motors/generators to us. EnerSys supplies the lead-acid batteries used in constructing our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system. We are also a founding member (and the only founding member company that is not a public utility company) in the Plug-In Partners National Campaign (www.pluginpartners.org), a national grass-roots campaign created to demonstrate the existing market for flexible-fuel Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. Plug-In Partners members include 24 of the nation’s largest locally-owned and controlled power systems.

We have appointed FAB Industries as an exclusive agent within a defined geographic territory to sell, install and maintain our products into existing vehicles. We have also appointed Creative Bus Sales, Inc. of Chino, California as our exclusive sales agent in a specified territory with respect to the transit bus market. Our agreement with Creative Bus Sales is dependent upon our fielding of a bus to be tested and certified to California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards, which has not yet occurred. Additionally, we have entered into an agreement with Dueco, Inc., a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of aerial lift trucks, to provide proprietary hybrid drive systems optimized for that market. In December 2007, we received a purchase order from Dueco for 25 of our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle propulsion systems.

Our growth strategy is to continue to expand our range of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle propulsion systems by tailoring them for use in specific medium and heavy-duty truck and bus applications. We intend to sell Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle power system components to medium and heavy-duty vehicle OEMs and vehicle retrofitters.
 
We are a Delaware corporation, incorporated under the laws of New York in 1999 and re-incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 2005, and we conduct all of our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Odyne Corporation. Odyne Corporation, incorporated in the State of New York in 2001, is a clean technology company that develops and manufactures Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle propulsion systems for medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses. We are located at 89 Cabot Court, Suite L, Hauppauge, New York 11788. Our telephone number is (631) 750-1010; our web site is www.odyne.com .
 
Industry Background and Trends
 
Overview
 
The United States faces major challenges in meeting the ever-increasing demand for transportation goods and services while striving to minimize adverse energy, environmental and economic impacts. More efficient vehicles are imperative to meeting these challenges.
 
New emissions standards are forcing current diesel engine and vehicle manufacturers to consider complete engine redesigns that utilize alternative transportation fuels. New legislation, coupled with rising fuel and labor costs, resulted in the accelerated development of the alternative fuel industry. The alternative fuel industry can be segmented by fuel type, application and vehicle class, as shown in the diagram below.

We compete in the alternatively fueled vehicles market. Alternatively fueled vehicles include various types of vehicles that utilize electric and hybrid electric technology, hydrogen fuel cell technology, compressed natural gas, biodiesel, ethanol, propane and liquefied natural gas, or a combination of these technologies and fuels. According to publicly available industry sources, there are more than 1,500,000 on-road alternatively fueled vehicles in use in the United States today.
 
Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles
 
Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, or HEVs, have emerged as an appealing solution for improved fuel efficiency and reduced vehicle emissions. Electric vehicles operate solely on electric power. Hybrid electric vehicles are capable of operating on both electricity and a conventional or alternative power source, such as diesel fuel. According to estimates of the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy, automakers will sell approximately 1.1 million hybrid electric vehicles in 2015.
 
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
 
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, or PHEVs, are powered both by battery power and a conventional or alternative fuel source and with power taken from a power grid. Any vehicle, whether it operates on diesel, gasoline or an alternative fuel source, can be made a PHEV. PHEVs are therefore known as being fuel agnostic. By “hybridizing” a vehicle, the fuel efficiency of that vehicle is improved. By requiring less fuel to perform the same tasks, operating costs and environmental emissions are reduced. Moreover, a PHEV vehicle requires less maintenance and typically has a longer lifespan than conventional gas-powered vehicles.
 
Several factors are driving accelerating demand in the alternatively fueled vehicle market: (i) economic and political instability in many of the world’s largest oil producing countries placing increasing pressures on fuel costs, (ii) attempts to reduce the United States’ dependence on foreign oil by displacing imported petroleum with electricity generated from domestic fuels and (iii) increasingly stringent emissions standards. In addition, initiatives by the United States federal government, including the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Clean Efficient Automobiles Resulting from Advanced Technologies Act (“CLEAR”) of 2003, support the development and use of clean technologies. Hybrid electric propulsion offers a highly attractive, affordable and user-friendly solution.
 
The propulsion system of a conventional vehicle consists of an internal combustion engine, a transmission and a differential that delivers power to the drive wheels. The drive wheels may be the front wheels, the rear wheels or both. The transmission changes the ratio of the revolutions per minute, or rpm, of the internal combustion engine to the rpm of the drive wheels in order to operate the internal combustion engine at its most efficient operating rpm. The internal combustion engine must be sized to be able to meet peak power requirements; the peak power requirement is considerably higher than the average power requirement. We design hybrid propulsion systems for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and buses where the peak power requirements are four to five times higher than the average power requirements.
 
The engine configuration and the braking system differentiate a PHEV propulsion system from conventional propulsion systems. In a PHEV propulsion system, the internal combustion engine operates in conjunction with an electric energy storage system and an electric motor to deliver power to the drive wheels. The efficiency of an electric motor at low rpm is superior to that of an internal combustion engine. To the extent that the electric motor is delivering power to the drive wheels at low speeds, this efficiency differential results in improved fuel efficiency.
 
The energy storage system also receives power from a PHEV’s braking system. The braking system of a conventional vehicle relies on friction between the brake elements to convert kinetic energy of the vehicle to heat, which then dissipates into the air and is wasted. The braking system in a PHEV operates the same as a conventional vehicle, but the electronics in a PHEV convert much of the kinetic energy back into electric power that is then stored for future use. This concept is called regenerative braking.
 
In most of the currently available HEVs, the internal combustion engine is the only source of power. In our PHEV configuration, the operator is able to supplement power from the internal combustion engine with electric power from a power grid by periodically plugging the vehicle in during times that it is not in use. This “Plug-in HEV” capability allows the use of electric power that is considerably less expensive than diesel fuel per mile.

3

 
In the United States today, much of the vehicular fuel, gasoline or diesel oil is imported. Most electricity is generated from domestic fuels. Thus, supplementing the diesel fuel with “Plug-in HEV” electric power contributes to national energy independence. From a systemic emissions perspective, the use of this “grid fuel” is cleaner than using the liquid fuel carried in the vehicle.
 
PHEV Advantages
 
We believe hybrid propulsion lowers the operating costs of vehicles because of:
 
Greater Fuel Efficiency/Lower Emissions . PHEVs are more fuel efficient than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, as well as any stand-alone alternatively fueled vehicle. The result is that a PHEV uses less fuel with lower vehicle emissions. Improvements in fuel efficiency and vehicle emissions will vary based on the application; however, we estimate that when the power system in a typical transit bus application is changed from conventional diesel to HEV, fuel consumption and vehicle emissions will be reduced 30% to 50%.
 
PHEVs enhance the efficiency of vehicles regardless of the type of internal combustion engine or type of fuel used, which we believe makes them more advantageous than other alternatively fueled vehicles without a hybrid system. A PHEV system can be coupled with an engine operating on gasoline, diesel fuel or any alternative fuel. For fleet operators who have already adopted some form of alternatively fueled vehicle, we believe a hybrid electric system will further enhance the fuel efficiency of that alternatively fueled vehicle and lower its operating costs.
 
Moreover, the fuel efficiency of a PHEV can be further enhanced by recharging the energy storage battery from utility power when the vehicle is not in operation, thereby substituting power from an electric grid for fuel and reducing the overall fuel consumption of the vehicle.
 
Less Maintenance . We believe a PHEV has lower operating costs, and requires less maintenance than a conventional vehicle. Any HEV, whether it has a series or parallel architecture, requires less brake maintenance due to regenerative braking. When the brakes are applied in a conventional vehicle, the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted to thermal energy (heat) as the temperature of the brake pads is raised. This wasted energy raises the operating temperature of the brakes, accelerating their wear-out and increasing the associated maintenance costs. In a PHEV, much of the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted back into electricity and stored in the energy storage battery. This saves both brake maintenance and fuel. We believe that the more braking there is in the particular application, the greater the potential savings. Further, in a series PHEV, there is no transmission, thus saving the costs to maintain and service this component in a conventional vehicle.
 
The Odyne Solution
 
Our PHEV solution offers the advantages of a typical hybrid propulsion system, including lower vehicle emissions and lower operating costs through greater fuel efficiency and lower maintenance requirements. Our system provides additional benefits that are not achieved with the use of other hybrid electric bus and truck propulsion systems.
 
·
Lower costs . Our system is designed with a larger battery storage device, which allows for a smaller engine that is less expensive. Also, the engine in our series PHEV operates over a rpm range, which enhances the vehicle’s efficiency and resiliency.
 
·
Electric-only operation . We offer a series hybrid propulsion system architecture, which enables operation in electric-only mode as well as in hybrid-electric mode. Operating in electric-only mode lowers vehicle emissions further and enables operation in compliance with a “zero emission” standard where mandated or desirable.
 
·
Plug-in capability . The “Plug-in HEV” capability of our system allows operators to use grid electric power as a supplement to the normal vehicle fuel. Grid electric power is significantly less expensive per mile than diesel fuel and is primarily generated from domestic fuels.
 
We integrate off-the-shelf products, advanced control systems and our modular, build-to-order propulsion system to build our PHEV system. Our modular configuration can be optimized and modified to meet a customer’s changing needs over time. This modular configuration utilizes off-the-shelf components (such as electric motors, batteries, bus bodies, and chassis), proprietary technologies and components procured through strategic alliances. Accordingly, our PHEV system can be:
 
·
optimized to meet specific customer requirements,
 
·
easily modified as requirements change to extend the life of the vehicle,
 
·
rapidly serviced because individual sub-systems or major individual components can be swapped out,
 
·
highly scalable because the same components work with most types of engines, regardless of their fuel source, and

4

 
·
flexibly configured to maximize energy storage and power production with the smallest number of components.
 
Business and Growth Strategy
 
Products
 
We provide series and parallel propulsion systems consisting of a control area network, appropriate driver interface controls and a selection of other major components.
 
Series Versus Parallel Architecture
 
HEVs are currently designed with either series or parallel architectures. A series system configuration is better suited to operate in an “all-electric-mode.” Parallel hybrid technology is successfully being deployed in smaller passenger vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles (such as long-haul buses and trucks) where a larger percentage of travel may be highway driving.
 
In a series device, there is no direct connection between the internal combustion engine and the drive wheels. The internal combustion engine drives a generator-charger system to keep the energy storage system charged to the appropriate levels. The electric motor is connected directly to the rear wheels through the differential. There is no transmission. In a parallel system, the internal combustion engine is connected through a transmission to the drive wheels; the electric motor is also connected to the drive wheels through a parallel transmission.

Modular Configuration
 
Our propulsion system consists of both proprietary Odyne designed and manufactured modules, and commercial off-the-shelf products. The ability to “mix and match” these components allows a system to be optimized for a particular driving profile and to be modified to meet a customer’s changing needs over time. In addition, the component/modular configuration allows for scalable manufacturing and purchasing of components to achieve attractive gross margins.
 
Fuel Agnostic
 
Our configurable and scalable propulsion system products are available for a variety of heavy-duty bus and truck fleet operations in either all-electric configurations producing zero emissions, or in hybrid-electric configurations with very low emissions. During the vehicle’s usable life, the fleet operator can reconfigure the vehicle to all-electric or hybrid operation at any time. Since our hybrid propulsion system is fuel agnostic, Odyne-powered hybrid vehicles are able to use any fuel by simply selecting the appropriate generator module.
 
Growth Strategy
 
Our growth strategy is to continue to expand our range of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle propulsion systems by tailoring them for use in specific medium and heavy-duty truck and bus applications. We intend to sell Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle power system components to medium and heavy-duty vehicle OEMs and vehicle retrofitters. We spent approximately $1,575,594 in 2007 and $755,429 in 2006 on research and development activities.
 
Strategic Partnerships and Strategic Relationships
 
We have developed strategic relationships and strategic partnerships to further the development and manufacturing of our PHEV system for medium and heavy-duty vehicles.
 
Long Island Power Authority. Long Island Power Authority, the electric utility serving southeastern New York, has agreed to work with us to promote our PHEV technology and to collaborate with us on product demonstrations. Long Island Power Authority has a history of vehicle demonstrations programs, which involves the loan of vehicles to various private and public organizations and companies for the purpose of having a typical operator evaluate and validate electric vehicle and PHEV technology, and to familiarize users with the practical applications of electric vehicles. Long Island Power Authority is currently in discussions with Long Island Bus/Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to provide it with an Odyne-equipped PHEV transit bus, which will be demonstrated on the streets of Nassau County on a daily basis in regular service.

5

 
Through the Electric Power Research Institute, Long Island Power Authority is participating in the Global Grid Connected Vehicle Project, as well as a variety of other electric vehicle programs. In addition, Long Island Power Authority has played an important role by supporting the Ford TH!NK Program in the Long Island counties of Suffolk and Nassau. Long Island Power Authority is a founding member of the Plug-In Partners National Campaign.
 
ElDorado National. ElDorado National, a subsidiary of Thor Industries, Inc., has verbally agreed to supply bus gliders and bodies for a Long Island Power Authority/Odyne pre-production demonstration program and future projects. After the successful demonstration of our PHEV hybrid bus, we intend to develop a long-term relationship with ElDorado, initially for the supply of bus gliders and bodies by ElDorado to us and subsequently for the purchase of our propulsion components by ElDorado for its continued/ongoing bus production.
 
General Electric. General Electric supplies us with AC induction traction drive motors. General Electric has worked with us to select induction motors that can meet the requirements of a range of vehicles in a wide variety of applications and terrain. The motors selected by us and General Electric have extensive use in industrial and traction applications worldwide.
 
Bosch Rexroth Corporation. Bosch supplies us with generators, motors and drives that are used in a range of vehicles that are currently being deployed. In 2007, we entered into an agreement with Bosch Rexroth providing for us to purchase certain motors from Bosch at a price to be maintained for one year. In addition, the agreement provides for engineering and marketing cooperation.
 
Plug-In Partners National Campaign. We are a founding member (and the only founding member that is not a public utility company) in the Plug-In Partners National Campaign ( www.pluginpartners.org ), a national grass-roots campaign created to demonstrate the existing market for flexible-fuel PHEVs. Plug-In Partners includes 24 of the nation’s largest locally-owned and controlled power systems.  
 
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority is a public benefit corporation created in 1975 by the New York State Legislature. Approximately 400 New York State Energy Research and Development Authority research projects help the State of New York’s businesses and municipalities with their energy and environmental problems. Since 1990, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority has successfully developed and brought into use more than 170 innovative, energy-efficient and environmentally beneficial products, processes and services. We have received funding to offset some of the research and development costs incurred in the development of a PHEV propulsion system for a mid-size bus. We intend to continue to work with New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to further develop and refine our technology.
 
EnerSys. EnerSys currently supplies a majority of the advanced lead-acid batteries used in constructing our PHEV system.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
Sales
 
Through the end of 2007, we delivered five Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, consisting of two buses and three trucks, to five different customers. In the same timeframe, we also delivered five PHEV kits to two different customers, one being an OEM and the other a retrofitter. We have an agreement with Dueco Inc., a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of aerial “bucket” trucks used by utilities and telecom companies, to supply them with PHEV systems optimized for this application. In December, we received an order from Dueco for twenty-five of these systems to be delivered before the end of 2008.
 
Marketing
 
There is currently demand from municipal fleet managers for fuel-efficient HEVs. However, based on initial demand and corresponding production costs, PHEVs are likely to cost almost twice the amount of conventional vehicles. As a result, to induce municipal fleet managers and other potential PHEV purchasers to convert to PHEVs, the U.S. government has created funding programs that provide purchasers with incentives to cover up to 80% of the incremental costs associated with the procurement of PHEVs.

We are implementing a two-step sales and marketing strategy for our PHEV systems. First, we plan to directly target municipal fleet owners for the sale of PHEV trucks and buses, which will be developed in conjunction with strategic partners. Longer-term, however, we plan to focus on becoming a leading provider of PHEV power system components to medium and heavy-duty truck and bus original equipment manufacturers.
 
The long-term sales strategy for the power system components will be to sell PHEV propulsion kits that consist of Odyne designed and manufactured components and standard components manufactured by others directly to vehicle manufacturers and integrators. The components manufactured by others include storage batteries, electric drive motors and the engine and generator in the auxiliary power unit. Our components and software will be matched to these external components and the vehicle driving profile to achieve optimum performance.

6

 
Sales efforts will be focused on two areas. First, our management will interface with fleet managers, both municipal and private, to increase their awareness of the benefits and availability of our PHEV technology. These efforts will be focused in the Northeast, because that is where our offices are located, and California, because of the state’s aggressive posture toward environmental issues.
 
Second, we will use direct sales resources as well as vehicle power train distributors to sell original equipment manufacturer PHEV power trains to vehicle manufacturers and up-fitters. Resources will be required to fund the application support, sales personnel, advertising and documentation required for our sales initiative.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We depend on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology to distinguish our products from our competitors’ products.  To protect our proprietary technology, we rely primarily on a combination of confidentiality procedures, copyright, trademark and patent laws.  It is our policy to require employees and consultants to execute confidentiality agreements and invention assignment agreements upon the commencement of their relationship with us.  These agreements provide that confidential information developed or made known during the course of a relationship with us must be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances and for the assignment to us of intellectual property rights developed within the scope of the employment relationship.
 
We have filed four utility patent applications with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, or PTO, related to our technology. One application, relating to an air-cooled battery enclosure, was approved by the PTO and U.S. Patent No. 7,323,272 was issued on January 29, 2008. One patent application is currently being reviewed by the PTO. The other two utility patent applications have not yet been reviewed by the PTO.  We cannot assure you that patents will issue from the PTO on any of these patent applications that are in process to be reviewed by the PTO.

Competition  
 
We are targeting our product development for use in Class 6, 7 and 8 medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses. Competition in the hybrid power sector remains somewhat fragmented, with three different classes of competitors participating in this space: vehicle manufacturers, component suppliers and systems companies. Nonetheless, competition has increased recently, and we expect this trend to continue as the demand for these products increases. We are a systems company offering a full range of components required for hybrid-electric vehicles. We believe we are the only company offering PHEV technology within our target market. Below is a brief summary of some of the other companies active in the industry.
 
Several vehicle manufactures have announced their intention to produce new HEV passenger cars and light trucks including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chrysler and General Motors. Most of these producers are focusing on the automotive retail market and the broader passenger vehicle platforms that it includes. Some of these producers, including General Motors, are also large vehicle manufacturers and are focusing on heavy-duty transit bus applications. Most vehicle manufacturers are not in direct competition with our PHEV technology.
 
In addition to vehicle manufacturers, there are several competitors that offer either hybrid systems or hybrid system components to original equipment manufacturers. Among those competitors are public companies such as Eaton Corporation, Azure Dynamics Inc. and Enova Systems Inc. as well as ISE Research Corporation, a private company.
 
We believe that we are distinct in our approach of offering original equipment manufacturers a comprehensive plug-in hybrid system comprised of energy storage, control/power electronics, electric motors and generators and advanced control algorithms. Due to significant use of commercial off-the-shelf components, which keeps costs competitive and provides a wide range of flexibility in application and format, our PHEV systems have potential applications for a wide range of bus or truck manufacturers, up-fitters and specialty vehicle producers.
 
Government Regulation
 
The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Research Board currently regulate the emissions of heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks and buses having a gross vehicle weight between 8,500 pounds and 33,000 pounds under Environmental Protection Agency regulations, and 14,000 pounds and 33,000 pounds under the California Air Research Board. These vehicles fall within Classes 6, 7 and 8.
 
The emissions of these vehicles are determined by testing the engine under Transient Federal Test Procedure via an engine dynamometer test cycle and the Supplemental Emissions Test, which simulates steady state or highway driving. This differs from the methodology used to certify passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles are tested and certified for emission compliance whereas heavy-duty vehicle engines are certified for compliance.
 
The overall allowable emission levels decreased each year over the ten-year period starting in 1988. From 1998 to present (and going into 2010), emissions reductions have been mandated to further reduce airborne pollutants by lowering the allowable limits for specific by-products, measuring new pollutants (not measured before) and by regulating and eventually outlawing the sulfur in diesel fuel.

7


A very challenging component of the new emissions standards that started in 2007 is the drastic reduction (75% less in some cases) of nitrogen oxide, non-methane hydrocarbons and particulate matter. New engine “add-on” technology such as particulate traps, fuel filters and computerized fuel injection control have been created in an attempt to meet the mandates, but more work is required. To meet the stringent 2007 standards completely, vehicle and engine manufacturers are rethinking their current engine and propulsion technology. Major (and expensive) redesigns of diesel engine technology, the abandonment of diesel for gasoline and the use of advanced propulsion systems all represent potential alternatives to meeting the new standards.  
 
Employees
 
As of March 26, 2008,   we employed 19 full-time employees and 4 part-time employees.   None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining unit. All employees sign standard employment agreements that specify they are all “at will” employees.
 
Organizational History
 
Odyne Corporation was originally formed as a Subchapter S Corporation in the State of New York on August 3, 2001.
 
Pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), Technology Integration Group, Inc. (“TIG”), through a newly-formed acquisition subsidiary, acquired all of our outstanding common stock on October 17, 2006. TIG, in exchange for our common stock, issued 12,000,000 of its common stock directly to our stockholders (the “Share Exchange Transaction”). Following the Share Exchange Transaction, the existing stockholders of TIG retained 6,000,000 shares of the TIG’s outstanding common stock and our stockholders became the majority owners of TIG.

Prior the Share Exchange Transaction, TIG was a publicly-traded corporation with nominal operations. TIG, immediately following the Share Exchange Transaction, changed its name to Odyne Corporation and continued to carry on the operations our company. The Share Exchange Transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization transaction in which the original Odyne is deemed to be the accounting acquirer.
 
Reverse Merger and Recapitalization. On October 17, 2006, we completed a “reverse merger” transaction, in which we caused PHEV Acquisition Corp., a New York corporation and our newly-created, wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), to be merged with and into Odyne Corporation, a New York corporation (“Odyne”). As a result of the merger, Odyne became our wholly-owned subsidiary, with Odyne’s former shareholders acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The reverse merger was consummated under New York law and pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated October 17, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), as discussed below. Concurrently with the closing of the merger, we also completed a private placement to accredited investors, and received gross proceeds of $3,033,000 (including the issuance of 304 units in exchange for our convertible debentures that we issued in a previous bridge loan financing transaction and 79 units issued in exchange for a release of certain trade accounts payable balances) at the closing of the private placement. In subsequent closings, additional proceeds were received raising the total amount to $5,750,000.
  
Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at closing, we issued 12,000,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Odyne, representing 46.7% of our outstanding common stock following the merger and private placement, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Odyne common stock.

In connection with the merger, we repurchased a total of 87,831,270 shares of our common stock owned by Cosimo J. Patti and Gerald Wisz for aggregate consideration of $100 and then cancelled those shares at the closing of the merger. Giving effect to the cancellation of these stockholders’ shares, there were 6,000,000 shares of our common stock outstanding before giving effect to the stock issuances in the merger and private placement.

Under Delaware law, we did not need the approval of our stockholders to complete the merger, as the constituent corporations in the merger were Merger Sub and Odyne, each of which is or was a New York corporation. We were not a constituent corporation in the merger. The merger and its related transactions were approved by the holders of a requisite number of shares of Odyne common stock by written consent in lieu of a meeting on October 12, 2006.
 
Expansion of Board of Directors; Management. In connection with the merger, we amended our by-laws to increase the size of our board of directors to five members.
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the merger, Roger M. Slotkin and Joshua A. Hauser, former directors of Odyne, as well as independent directors Bruce E. Humenik, Stanley W. Struble and S. Charles Tabak, were appointed to our board of directors. In connection with the appointment of these five directors, at the closing of the merger, Cosimo J. Patti and Gerald Wisz, the directors of Technology Integration Group prior to the merger, resigned as directors. At the closing of the merger, the board of directors appointed Mr. Slotkin as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hauser as President and Chief Operating Officer, Joseph M. Ambrosio as Executive Vice President - Engineering and Chief Technology Officer, and Konstantinos Sfakianos as Executive Vice President - Operations, each of whom served in a similar position with Odyne. In addition, Daniel Bartley was appointed to be our Chief Financial Officer. On September 19, 2007 Roger Slotkin was replaced in his capacity as our Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the board of directors by Alan Tannenbuam.

8


Following the closing of the merger and private placement, the board approved the grant of stock options to purchase a total of 505,000 shares of our common stock, including initial grants of stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock to each of the independent directors, Messrs. Humenik, Struble and Tabak, for serving on the board of directors. The board also approved the grant of stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Bartley for serving as our Chief Financial Officer. All of the foregoing stock options vest in three equal increments on each of October 17, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
 
Accounting Treatment; Change of Control. The merger is being accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization since the shareholders of Odyne own a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock immediately following the merger. Odyne is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the merger and, consequently the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of Odyne NY. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements are those of Odyne and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Odyne. Except as described in the previous paragraphs, no arrangements or understandings exist among present or former controlling stockholders with respect to the election of members of our board of directors and, to our knowledge, no other arrangements exist that might result in a change of control of our company. Further, as a result of the issuance of the 12,000,000 shares of our common stock in the merger, and cancellation of other shares, a change in control of our company occurred on the date of the consummation of the merger. We will continue to be a “small business issuer,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, following the merger.
 
Private Placement. In connection with the merger, we completed the closing of a private placement of a total of 5,750 units, each unit consisting of one share of our series A convertible preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, and a detachable, transferable warrant to purchase shares of common stock, at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit, to purchasers that qualified as accredited investors, as defined in Regulation D, pursuant to the terms of a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated July 27, 2006, as supplemented by the First Supplement thereto dated October 6, 2006. Each share of series A convertible preferred stock is initially convertible into 1,334 shares of common stock at any time. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share through October 16, 2010, subject to redemption provisions based on the trading price of our common stock.

Lock-Up Agreements. In connection with the private placement, former Odyne shareholders who now hold in the aggregate 12,000,000 shares of our common stock, entered into “lock-up” agreements with us. The lock-up agreements provide that their shares may not be, directly or indirectly, publicly sold, subject to a contract for sale or otherwise transferred for a period of 12 months after the closing of the merger. After 12 months from the merger closing date, and at three-month intervals thereafter, the stockholders will be permitted to sell 12.5% of their initial holdings for each three-month period, provided that our common stock maintains a minimum trailing 30-day average trading price of $2.50 per share or more. After 24 months from the merger closing date, and at three-month intervals thereafter, the stockholders will each be permitted to sell up to 12.5% of their initial holdings per three-month period, regardless of the trading price. All lock-up provisions expire 36 months from the merger closing date.

October 2007 Private Placement
 
On October 26, 2007, we completed a private placement to five accredited investors, pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement. The securities were offered and sold in units, with each unit consisting of $100,000 principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible debentures and warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share. 

The debentures bear interest at 10% per year, payable quarterly in cash or freely-tradable common stock, at our option, and mature on the earlier of 18 months after the original issuance date or the completion by us of one or a series of related debt or equity financing transactions for minimum gross proceeds of $5,000,000, exclusive of any financing transaction by a factor or commercial bank (referred to as a Subsequent Financing). The warrants are exercisable at any time and expire three years from issuance.
 
Pursuant to the subscription agreements with the investors, we sold debentures with an aggregate face value of $3,200,000 and received gross proceeds of $3,200,000. The debentures rank senior to all other indebtedness of ours. Pursuant to the terms of a security agreement with the investors, the debentures are secured by the grant by us and our subsidiary to a collateral agent of collateral that consists of a first priority security interest in all of our and our subsidiary’s assets. The outstanding balance of the debentures may be converted at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, at the earlier of 12 months after the original issuance date, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 70% of the then market price per share of common stock, or upon the completion by us of a Subsequent Financing, into the securities being sold in such Subsequent Financing at an effective conversion price equal to 80% of the purchase price of those securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum conversion price will be no less than $.25 per share. Partial conversions by the investors are permitted.
 
As part of the transaction, we issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 4,266,670 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share. The warrants are exercisable for three years, contain customary change of control buy-out provisions and are not redeemable. The warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions (including “full-ratchet” price protection from the future issuance of stock, exclusive of the conversion of the debentures and certain other excluded stock issuances, or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock below $.75 per share), provided that the exercise price of the warrants may not be adjusted to less than $.25 per share as a result of the full-ratchet price protection.

Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement with the investors, we agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as possible for purposes of registering the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the debentures and exercise of the warrants sold in the private placement. In the event the registration statement is not declared effective within 180 calendar days following the closing, we will pay the investors 2% in cash or stock of the face amount of the debentures for every 30-day period, or portion thereof, that the registration statement is not declared effective for a maximum of six months, subject to the ability of the investors to sell the underlying shares pursuant to Rule 144. The liquidated damages can be paid in cash or freely-tradable common stock, at our option. We have also agreed that we will not file a registration statement for any additional shares of common stock until 75 days after the effective date of the registration statement.
 
Matrix U.S.A., LLC acted as placement agent in the transaction. The placement agent received $320,000 in cash placement fees and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the transaction.

The debentures and warrants issued in the private placement were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as a sale by an issuer not involving a public offering or under Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. None of the debentures or warrants, or shares of our common stock underlying such debentures and warrants, were registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same.

After the closing of the October 2007 private placement, we had 21,027,578 shares of common stock outstanding, not including 4,924,620 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, at any time, of shares of our series A convertible preferred stock and a maximum of 12,800,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, at any time, of our 10% senior secured convertible debentures. We also had outstanding, warrants to purchase 9,586,350 shares of common stock, inclusive of the investor warrants and placement agent warrants issued in the October 2007 private placement, and stock options to purchase 4,270,000 shares of common stock.
 
March 2008 Private Placement
 
On March 27, 2008, we completed a private placement to institutional accredited investors, pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, we sold 11,666,667 shares of our common stock at $.60 per share. As part of this transaction, the investors also received warrants to purchase 11,666,667 shares of our common stock at $.72 per share. The warrants are exercisable for five years, contain customary change of control buy-out provisions and are not redeemable. The warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions (including “full-ratchet” price protection from the future issuance of stock, exclusive of certain issuances, or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock below $.72 per share), provided that the exercise price of the warrants may not be adjusted to less than $.60 per share as a result of the full-ratchet price protection. We received $7,000,000 in gross proceeds in connection with this private placement.

vFinance Investments, Inc. acted as placement agent in the transaction. The placement agent received $630,000 in cash placement fees and warrants to purchase 1,050,000 shares of common stock in the transaction. The placement agent will also receive a warrant exercise fee in the amount of 2% of the exercise price of the warrants paid upon exercise.

The shares of common stock and warrants issued in the private placement were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as a sale by an issuer not involving a public offering or under Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. None of the shares of common stock or warrants, or shares of our common stock underlying such warrants, were registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same.

After the closing of the March 2008 private placement, we had 33,768,115 shares of common stock outstanding, not including 4,811,032 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, at any time, of shares of our series A convertible preferred stock and a maximum of 12,800,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, at any time, of our 10% senior secured convertible debentures. We also had outstanding warrants to purchase 23,303,014 shares of common stock, inclusive of the investor warrants and placement agent warrants issued in the March 2008 private placement, and stock options to purchase 2,115,000 shares of common stock.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following material risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
 
We are still in an early stage of development and have earned limited revenues to date.

We are still an early-stage company. Since our inception, we have engaged primarily in research and product development, testing, the establishment of strategic alliances and marketing. Our products are at various stages in the development cycle. We have earned limited revenues to date and have supported our operations primarily through cash flow from product sales, engineering services, development grants and cost-sharing programs and debt and private equity investment. Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new business and the development of new products and new technology.

We have a limited operating history, which limits the information available to you to evaluate our business, and have a history of operating losses and uncertain future profitability.

We were formed in August 2001 and have generated $2,076,787 in revenue, including research and development grants, from inception through December 31, 2007, while incurring a net operating loss of $7,424,310 during that period. There is limited operating and financial information to evaluate our historical performance and our future prospects. We face the risks and difficulties of an early-stage company including the uncertainties of market acceptance, competition, cost increases and delays in achieving business objectives. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in addressing any or all of these risks or that our efforts will generate significant revenue or achieve future profitability. The failure to do so would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
 
We have no experience manufacturing our products on a large-scale commercial basis and may be unable to do so.

To date, we have focused primarily on research, development and low volume manufacturing and have no experience manufacturing our products on a large-scale commercial basis. Through the end of 2007, we delivered five Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, consisting of two buses and three trucks, to five different customers. In the same timeframe, we also delivered five PHEV kits to two different customers, one being an OEM and the other a retrofitter. We do not know whether or when we will be able to develop efficient, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes that will enable us to manufacture our products in commercial quantities while meeting the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards required to successfully market our products. Our failure to develop such manufacturing processes and capabilities could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if we are successful in developing our manufacturing capabilities and processes, we do not know whether we will do so in time to meet the requirements of our customers.
 
Because hybrid technology is new and evolving, its future growth or ultimate market size is difficult to predict. Our business will not grow or may grow less rapidly if the use of hybrid technology does not continue to grow.

Our industry is in the early stages of market acceptance of products and related services and is subject to rapid and significant technological change. Because of the new and evolving nature of hybrid technology, it is difficult to predict the size of the market, the rate at which the market for our products and services will grow or be accepted, if at all, or whether emerging technologies will render our services less competitive or obsolete. If the market for our products and services fails to develop or grows less rapidly than anticipated, our business would be significantly impacted.
 
If our products and services do not achieve market acceptance, we may not achieve our revenue and earnings goals in the time projected, or at all.

If we are unable to operate our business as contemplated by our business model or if the assumptions underlying our business model prove to be unfounded, we could fail to achieve our revenue and earnings goals within the time we have projected, or at all, which would have a detrimental effect on our business. As a result, the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.
 
Failure of our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle demonstrations could negatively impact demand for our products.
 
We are currently demonstrating our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system. We may encounter problems and delays during these demonstrations for a number of reasons, including the failure of our technology or the technology of third parties. Many of these potential problems and delays are beyond our control. Any problem or perceived problem with our demonstrations could harm our reputation and impair market acceptance of, and demand for, our products.

11


Our operating results will be harmed if we are unable to manage and sustain our growth.

Our business is unproven on a large scale and actual operating margins may be less than expected. If we are unable to scale capacity efficiently, we may fail to achieve expected operating margins, which would have an adverse effect on our operating results.
 
Delays in the development of our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle technology would have a material impact on our commercialization schedule.
 
If we experience delays in meeting our development goals or if our products exhibit technical defects or fail to meet cost or performance goals, our commercialization schedule will be delayed. In this event, potential users of our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system may resort to alternative technologies. Delays could allow our competitors to gain market advantages. Despite our efforts, we cannot assure you that we will meet our commercialization schedule.
 
We may need to secure additional funding to complete our product development and commercialization plans, as well as maintain our current operating structure, and we may be unable to raise additional capital.
 
Our cash requirements depend on numerous factors, including the extent of future research and development activities, our ability to commercialize our products and market acceptance of our products. We expect to devote substantial capital resources to further our research and development initiatives, develop a manufacturing infrastructure, develop manufacturing processes and maintain our current operating structure. We also expect to devote substantial capital resources to expand our marketing and sales activities. Additional funds may be required to achieve commercialization of our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system. We may be unable to secure additional funding, or funding on acceptable terms, to pursue our commercialization plans. If adequate funds are unavailable to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, we may be required to limit our operations in a manner inconsistent with our business plan, which could adversely affect operations in future periods.
 
If we are unable to obtain grants from the federal government to fund current and future projects, we may not be able to fund research and development or production, which could materially harm our operating results.
 
We have received non-refundable development funding from various governmental and/or energy-related agencies, including Long Island Power Authority, the Electric Power Research Institute and the Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition. In 2006, we received $12,500 from grants. Several of our current and proposed projects for certain municipalities have been, or are expected to be, funded by such programs. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain grants funded by government programs in the future. The loss of existing grants or the failure to earn new grants would harm our ability to fund future research and development and production, which would have an adverse effect on our operating results.
 
Our products and services may become obsolete if we do not effectively respond to rapid technological change on a timely basis.

Our products and services are new and our business model is evolving. Our products and services depend on the needs of our customers and their desire to utilize hybrid technology. Since the hybrid industry is characterized by evolving technologies, uncertain technology and limited availability of standards, we must respond quickly to new research findings and technological changes affecting our customers. We may not be successful in developing and marketing on a timely and cost-effective basis new or modified products that respond to technological changes, evolving customer requirements and competition.
 
We may have difficulty managing change in our operations as a result of limited management personnel and resources.
 
We continue to undergo rapid change in the scope and breadth of our operations as the development of our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system advances. Such rapid change is likely to place a significant strain on our senior management team and other resources. We will be required to make significant investments in our engineering, logistics, financial and management information systems and to motivate and effectively manage our employees. Our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed if we encounter difficulties in effectively managing the process of implementing such changes.
 
If we fail to recruit and retain qualified senior management and other key personnel, we will not be able to execute our business plan.

Our business plan requires us to hire a number of qualified personnel, as well as retain our current key management employees. We must attract leading talent to be able to execute our business strategy. Presently, our senior executive officers are Alan Tannenbaum, Chief Executive Officer, Joshua A. Hauser, President and Chief Operating Officer, Daniel Bartley, Chief Financial Officer, Joseph M. Ambrosio, Executive Vice President – Engineering and Chief Technology Officer, and Konstantinos Sfakianos, our Executive Vice President – Operations. The loss of the services of one or more of our senior executives or our inability to find the additional managers we require for any reason could impair our ability to execute our business plan.

12


If we fail to protect our intellectual property, our current competitive strengths could be eroded and we could lose customers, market share and revenues.

Our viability will depend on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology to distinguish our products and services from our competitors’ products and services. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely primarily on a combination of confidentiality procedures, copyright, trademark and patent laws.
 
The process of seeking patent, industrial design and trademark protection can be time consuming and expensive. We cannot assure you that patents, industrial design registrations or trademark registrations will issue from currently pending or future applications or any new patents, industrial design registrations or trademark registrations that may be issued will be sufficient in scope or strength to provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to us. We cannot assure you that any pending or future patent, industrial design or trademark applications will be granted in respect of our technology and business, or that any pending or future patents, industrial design registrations or trademark registrations will not be challenged, invalidated, ignored, circumvented or otherwise rendered unenforceable, or that the rights granted under such patents, industrial design registrations or trademark registrations will provide meaningful protection or competitive advantages to us.

Similarly, we cannot assure you that common law trademark rights, copyright, trade secret and non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions will provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to us, or that our existing or future common law trademark rights, copyrights, trade secrets and non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions will not be challenged, invalidated, ignored, circumvented or otherwise rendered unenforceable, or that the rights arising under our existing or future common law trademark rights, copyrights, trade secrets and non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions will provide meaningful protection or any commercial advantage to us.

Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products and services or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Unauthorized use of our proprietary technology could harm our business. Litigation to protect our intellectual property rights can be costly and time-consuming to prosecute, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to enforce our rights or prevent other parties from developing similar technology or designing around our intellectual property.
 
Although we believe that our products and services do not and will not infringe upon the patents or violate the proprietary rights of others, it is possible such infringement or violation has occurred or may occur which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

In the event that products and services we sell are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be required to modify our products and services or obtain a license for the manufacture and/or sale of such products and services. In such event, we cannot assure you that we would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon our business. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. In addition, if our products and services or proposed products and services are deemed to infringe or likely to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, we could be subject to injunctive relief and, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could also have an adverse effect on our business.
 
We face competition from other companies developing hybrid technology.

There are other companies in the hybrid electric area developing technologies. The major automotive manufacturers are targeting passenger vehicles and light-duty vehicles and their technology could potentially be applied to medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles as well. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not be able to duplicate our technology or provide products and services similar to ours more efficiently. Many of the potential competitors in the market are also organizations with access to significant resources that may be applied to research and development of hybrid electric vehicle and PHEV technologies. Other clean vehicle technologies are also progressing and their arrival may change the relative economics of the technology solutions. Although hybrid technology can potentially improve the efficiency of all technologies in the area, we cannot assure you that we will have a role in new technologies that emerge.

Our business plan includes dependence upon products developed by third parties and our inability to successfully integrate our technology with third parties’ products or secure resources from third parties could adversely affect our business.

To be commercially useful, our technology for hybrid electric vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles must, to a certain extent, be integrated into products manufactured by third parties. There are no guarantees that third parties will continue to manufacture appropriate products or, if they do manufacture such products, that they, or the customers who purchase such products, will choose to use our technology. Any integration, design, manufacturing or marketing problems encountered by third parties could adversely affect the market for our control systems technology and our financial results.

13


Our strategy is to effectively utilize the resources that exist in the automotive sector and, accordingly, our internal resources are focused on core product development and related activities. We substantially depend upon third parties for several critical elements of our business plan, including, but not limited to, product and component manufacturing and assembly, technological development and testing. We cannot assure you that such third parties resources will continue to be suitable, available and affordable or in a position to assist us in achieving our objectives. While we have entered into relationships with suppliers of some key components for our products, we do not know when or whether we will secure supply relationships for all required components and subsystems for our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system, or whether such relationships will be on terms that will allow us to achieve our objectives. Our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed if we fail to secure relationships with entities that can develop or supply the required components for our products and provide the required distribution and servicing support.

We use a variety of components in our businesses, and significant shortages or price increases could increase operating costs and adversely affect the competitive position of our products.

The major component requirements for our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system include batteries, semiconductors and electric drive motors. We utilize off-the-shelf components for each of our major requirements and are not significantly dependent on any one or a few suppliers. Significant shortages of such components could affect the prices we pay for such components, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in government policies and regulation, including environmental policies, could affect our business.

To date, the markets targeted by us have been influenced by government regulation, including environmental laws, regulations and policies emerging in various parts of the United States. There can be no guarantee that these laws, regulations and policies will not change. Changes in these laws, regulations and policies could result in decreased interest and demand in our target markets for hybrid electric vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. In addition, we cannot assure you that changes in these laws, regulations and policies or their application will not require further expenditures by us to further develop our technology.

A malfunction of our product could subject us to product liability or tort claims.

A malfunction or the inadequate design of our products could result in product liability or other tort claims. Accidents involving our products could lead to personal injury or physical damage. Any liability for damages resulting from malfunctions could be substantial and could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, a well-publicized actual or perceived problem could adversely affect the market’s perception of our products. This could result in a decline in demand for our products, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We may engage in additional financing that could lead to dilution of existing investors.

We have relied on equity financing, debt financing and governmental funding to carry on our business to date, which has consisted primarily of internal and customer-related product development, the negotiation of strategic alliances and marketing activities. Any future financings by us may result in substantial dilution of the holdings of existing stockholders and could have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that such future financings will be possible.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to sell.
 
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock may be below $5.00 per share and therefore may be designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares. In addition, since our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our stockholders may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations of our common stock and may find few buyers to purchase the stock or a lack of market makers to support the stock price.
 
A significant number of the shares of our common stock are eligible for sale, and their sale could depress the market price of our common stock.

Sales of a significant number of shares of common stock in the public market could harm the market price of our common stock. As of December 31, 2007, 3,890,770 shares of our Common stock are issuable upon the conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Up to 12,800,000 shares of common stock will be issuable upon conversion of our 10% senior secured convertible debentures and 10,586,346 shares of common stock are issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase common stock. Sales of common stock, including those that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, are likely to have a depressive effect on the market for our common stock.

14


Our officers and directors have significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of other stockholders.

Our executive officers and directors control in excess of 34% of our outstanding voting securities. If these stockholders act together, they will be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all of our stockholders.
 
We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future; you should not buy our stock if you expect dividends.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. You should not buy our stock if you are expecting to receive cash dividends.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
 
We currently have a lease for approximately 10,000 rentable square feet of office and manufacturing space at our corporate headquarters in Hauppauge, New York. The lease provides for monthly rental payments of approximately $7,000 and increases approximately 3% per year on July 1 of each year. The lease expires in June 2009. We believe our leased space is adequate for us at this time.
 
ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
On January 16, 2008, Amity Truck Service Corp. commenced an action against Odyne Corporation and others in the Supreme Court, Suffolk County seeking to recover damages based on alleged facts concerning our commercial relationship with the plaintiff in the latter part of 2006 and the early part of 2007 which culminated in an Exclusive Sales and Marketing Agreement, whereby the plaintiff agreed to serve as the exclusive retrofitting installer of our plug-in hybrid electric propulsion systems for medium and heavy trucks and as the exclusive distributor of such vehicles in the New York metropolitan area. It is our opinion that the alleged facts, even if true, do not provide a legal basis for recovery, and we have filed a motion to dismiss the litigation on the grounds that the complaint fails to state any viable cause of action. The motion was submitted to the court on February 27, 2008 and is presently pending. Our management believes that we have a reasonable chance of succeeding in dismissing the action, although we cannot predict the outcome of the motion and the action.
 
Apart from the legal proceeding noted in the previous paragraph, we are not party to any legal proceedings, nor are we aware of any contemplated or pending legal proceedings against us.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
 
We did not submit any matters to a vote of security holders in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

These bid prices represent prices quoted by broker-dealers on the OTC Bulletin Board. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.
 
As of March 26, 2008, there were approximately 60 holders of record of our common stock. However, we believe that there are significantly more beneficial holders of our common stock as many beneficial holders hold their stock in “street name.”
 
Dividend Policy
 
We do not expect to pay a dividend on our common stock in the foreseeable future.  The payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our board of directors , subject to our certificate of incorporation . We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, future capital needs and our operating and financial condition, among other factors.  
 
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In December 2007, we issued a warrant to UEHC, Inc. to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrant is exercisable for three years, contains customary change of control buy-out provisions and is not redeemable. The warrant was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of that Act and Regulation D promulgated under that section, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. This security may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The warrant contains a legend stating the same.

Other than the warrant issuance noted in the previous paragraph, there were no sales of unregistered securities other than as reported in prior reports on Form 10-KSB, 10-QSB or 8-K. In addition, see Item 1, Description of Business - Organizational History, for information concerning our October 2007 and October 2006 private placement transactions and reverse merger.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Small Business Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2007.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included in this report. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
 
Overview

We completed a reverse merger transaction on October 17, 2006, in which we caused PHEV Acquisition Corp., a New York corporation and our newly-created, wholly-owned subsidiary, to be merged with and into Odyne Corporation, a New York corporation (Odyne New York). Until the merger, we engaged in the business of providing marketing, communications and technical integration advice to small and medium-sized businesses , which we discontinued following the merger and succeeded to the business of Odyne New York. The directors and management of Odyne New York thereupon became our directors and management. On October 17, 2006, we changed our corporate name from Technology Integration Group Inc. to Odyne Corporation.
 
Since our future business will be that of Odyne New York only, the information in this Annual Report is that of Odyne New York as if Odyne New York had been the registrant for all the periods presented in this report. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation presented in this Item 6 and the audited consolidated financial statements presented in Item 7 of this report include those of Odyne New York prior to the reverse merger, as these provide the most relevant information for us on a continuing basis.
 
For accounting purposes, Odyne New York was the acquirer in the reverse merger transaction, and consequently the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of that company. Odyne New York’s financial statements are our historical financial statements.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included under Item 7 of this report.

Results of Operations - Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to December 31, 2006

Revenues
 
We engage in two primary sources of revenue generating activities, revenues from fixed-price contracts and revenue from time and material contracts. Total revenues were $610,945 and $242,945 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $368,000, or 151%. During the year ended December 31 2007, we delivered our first commercialized OEM PHEV production system.
 
Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $1,207,080 and $410,213, respectively, an increase of $796,867, or 194%. We had a gross loss on revenues of $596,135 compared to gross loss on revenues of $167,268 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 included direct costs in the amount of $895,964, other costs, including allocated general and administrative expenses, of $268,116 and the establishment of warranty reserves of $43,000. Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 included direct costs in the amount of $370,361 and other costs, including allocated general and administrative expenses, of $39,852. We did not record any reserve for warranty during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Research and Development Expense
 
Research and development expenses were $1,573,594 and $755,429 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $818,165, or 108%. This increased spending, primarily labor and material cost, was incurred to further develop our PHEV technology that is incorporated into our products. This increase represents a planned application of private placement funds.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $1,922,244 and $758,283, respectively, an increase of $1,163,961, or 153%. This includes the following increases: $445,366 in professional fees associated with becoming a publicly traded company, $169,603 in salaries associated with the hiring of additional staff, $144,187 in sales, marketing and promotional activities, $140,000 in allowances for uncollectible accounts, $93,930 in payroll benefits including option grants, $57,410 in depreciation expense, $17,342 in insurance associated with increased general liability and directors and officers coverage and $96,123 of other cost associated with our expanded operational activities.

18


Other Income and Expense
 
Interest income was $62,878 and $14,610 the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This increase resulted from interest earned on the funds we received in connection with our two private placements. Interest expense was $232,995 and $343,598 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our net loss amounted to $4,262,090 and $2,009,968 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our accumulated deficit amounted to $8,103,167 and $3,841,077 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We used $3,732,075 to fund our operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2007 and $1,237,106 to fund operations during the year ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had $1,829,467 and $2,969,858, respectively, of working capital available to fund our ongoing operations.

 On October 26, 2007, we completed a private placement of 10% senior secured convertible debentures and warrants to purchase common stock, and received gross proceeds in the amount of $3.2 million. The net proceeds of the private placement of approximately $2.8 million are being used by us for our working capital and capital expenditure requirements and to repay a $250,000 bridge note we received from Alan Tannenbaum, our Chief Executive Officer. The debentures are due on April 24, 2009, bear interest at 10% per year, payable in cash or freely-tradable common stock, at our option.
 
On March 27, 2008, we completed a private placement of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock, and received gross proceeds in the amount of $7,000,000. The net proceeds of the private placement of $6,354,996 are being used by us for our working capital and capital expenditure requirements.

We believe that the proceeds we received in connection with our March 2008 private placement improved our overall liquidity. However, we will still be required to devote all of our capital resources to pursuing our research and development initiatives, developing our manufacturing infrastructure and penetrating possible markets Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system. We will need to raise substantial additional funds to achieve commercialization of our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system and continue the pursuit of our business plan.

We have taken certain measures to conserve our liquidity while we continue the effort to develop our technology. Our management believes that our current level of capital resources is sufficient to sustain our business through December 31, 2008. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in our efforts to fully commercialize our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle system or that the commercialization of this technology will actually improve our operating results. Additionally, we cannot assure you that unforeseen circumstances will not have a material affect on our business that could require us to raise additional capital or take other measures to sustain operations in the event that outside sources of capital are not available. We have not secured any commitments for new financing at this time nor can we assure you that new capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. We also cannot assure you that even if we are successful in our efforts to raise additional capital, that the proceeds of any such financing transaction will enable us to develop our business to a level in which it is actually generating operating profits and positive cash flows.
 
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating activities totaled $ 3,732,015 for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $1,237,106 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

On March 29, 2007, we signed a Research and Development Contract Extension with NYSERDA to develop and install a PHEV system into a refuse vehicle provided by a third party. Our obligation under this agreement is to design and install the system and to provide NYSERDA with regular status reports. NYSERDA will provide funding up to an additional $161,046 for this effort. As of December 31, 2007, we had not obtained a refuse vehicle from the third party and have not incurred any costs related to this contract extension.

We have no commitments to invest in capital improvements.

Impact of Inflation
 
We expect to be able to pass inflationary increases for raw materials and other costs on to our customers through price increases, as required, and do not expect inflation to be a significant factor in our business.
 
Seasonality
 
Although our operating history is limited, we do not believe our products are seasonal.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to exercise its judgment. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting polices and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenues and expenses, and disclosures of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. Areas in which we exercise significant judgment include, but are not necessarily limited to, recording revenue and cost and cost of sales under production contracts using the percentage of completion method, establishing loss reserves of contracts in progress when necessary, equity transactions (compensatory and financing), and allocating costs among different cost centers and departments within our company. We have adopted certain polices with respect to our recognition of revenue that we believe are consistent with the guidance provided under Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104.

We base our estimates and judgments on a variety factors including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry, current and expected economic conditions, the composition of our products and the regulatory environment. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary.
     
While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

A description of significant accounting polices that require us to make estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are as follows:
 
Revenue Recognition. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from production contracts that we account for using the percentage of completion method. Accordingly, we make estimates of costs to complete these contracts that we us a basis for recording revenue.

We apply the revenue recognition principles set forth under AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 81-2 “Accounting for Production Type Contracts” and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 “Revenue Recognition” with respect to our revenue.
 
Income Taxes . We are required to determine the aggregate amount of income tax expense or loss based upon tax statutes in jurisdictions in which we conduct business. In making these estimates, we adjust our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for items that are treated differently by the applicable taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, as a result of these differences, are reflected on our balance sheet for temporary differences, loss and credit carry forwards that will reverse in subsequent years. We also establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances are based, in part, on predictions that our management must make as to our results in future periods. The outcome of events could differ over time which would require us to make changes in our valuation allowance.

Stock-Based Compensation We have adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). This statement is a revision of SFAS Statement No. 123, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123(R) addresses all forms of share based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS 123(R), SBP awards are measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and results in a charge to operations.

We are also required to apply complex accounting principles with respect to accounting for financing transactions that we have consummated in order to finance the growth of our business. These transactions, which generally consist of convertible debt and equity instruments, require us to use significant judgment in order to assess the fair values of these instruments at their dates of issuance, which is critical to making a reasonable presentation of our financing costs and how we finance our business.

Recently-issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on our results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits on Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (“EITF 06-11”) effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2007.  EITF 06-11 addresses share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified non-vested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified non-vested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under Statement 123(R) and result in an income tax deduction for the employer.  A realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings are paid to employees for equity-classified non-vested shares, non-vested equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid in capital.  The amount recognized in additional paid-in capital for the realized income tax benefit from dividends on those awards should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share-based payments.  We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We expect SFAS 141R to have an impact on the accounting for any future business acquisitions as of the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 requires (a) the ownership interest in the subsidiary held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (b) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and (c) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently. Entities must provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
 
Our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are included as a separate section of this report beginning on page F-1.

ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE   .
 
On September 10, 2007, we dismissed Marcum & Kliegman LLP (“Marcum”), as our independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of Marcum on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
 
Simultaneously with the dismissal of Marcum, we engaged Holtz Rubenstein Reminick LLP (“Holtz Rubenstein”) to act as our independent registered public accounting firm as successor to Marcum. Holtz Rubenstein is located at 125 Baylis Road, Melville, New York 11747.
 
The audit committee of our board of directors approved the dismissal of Marcum and this action was ratified by our board of directors. The audit committee simultaneously approved the appointment of Holtz Rubenstein as our independent registered public accounting firm and this action was ratified by our board of directors.

During our two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period prior to September 10, 2007, we did not consult Holtz Rubenstein regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
As of June 30, 2006, Marcum had advised us that it identified certain deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that constitute a “material weakness.” The material weakness principally relates to our having limited segregation of duties within our accounting department and the need for us to strengthen our expertise with respect to the application of complex accounting principles involving equity transactions and SEC reporting rules. These control deficiencies have not resulted in any misstatements in our financial statements.  Our management has attempted to remedy these deficiencies by engaging outside consultants with the appropriate skills to address our ongoing accounting and finance needs.  We have authorized Marcum to respond fully to any inquiries of Holtz Rubenstein concerning the material weakness described above.
 
During Marcum’s engagement with us (i) there were no disagreements between us and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The decision to replace Marcum was not the result of any disagreement between us and Marcum on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure or audit procedure. Our board of directors deemed it in our best interest to change independent auditors.

On November 20, 2006, we terminated Most & Company, LLP (“ Most”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Most audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The reason for the replacement of Most was that, following the merger, the former shareholders of Odyne own a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Odyne is our primary business unit, and the independent registered public accountants of Odyne was the firm of Marcum & Kliegman LLP. We therefore retained Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm effective as of November 20, 2006. Marcum is located at 655 Third Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10017.
 
The appointment of Marcum was recommended and approved by our board of directors. During our two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period prior to November 20, 2006, we did not consult Marcum regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Odyne’s financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
Most’s report on our financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as audit scope or accounting principles.
 
During the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, and the interim period from the date of the last audited financial statements to November 20, 2006, (i) there were no disagreements between us and Most on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Most, would have caused Most to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The decision to replace Most was not the result of any disagreement between us and Most on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure or audit procedure. Our board of directors deemed it in our best interest to change independent auditors following the closing of the merger transaction.

ITEM 8A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, our management used the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our assessment and the criteria set forth by COSO, our management believes that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this annual report.

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are elected annually by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.
 
Board Committees
 
On October 17, 2006, the board of directors authorized the creation of an audit committee, compensation committee, and nominations and governance committee.
 
Audit Committee . We established an audit committee of the board of directors, which is chaired by Mr. Tabak, who is considered an independent director with the financial sophistication to hold such position, and includes Messrs. Humenik and Struble. The audit committee’s duties are to recommend to the board of directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to review our accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee reviews the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee is at all times to be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Compensation Committee . We established a compensation committee of the board of directors, which is chaired by Mr. Humenik, and includes Messrs. Struble and Tabak. The compensation committee reviews and approves our salary and benefits policies, including compensation of executive officers. The compensation committee also administers our stock option plans, and recommends and approves grants of stock options under that plan.
 
Nominations and Governance Committee .   We established a nominations and governance committee of the board of directors, which is chaired by Mr. Struble, and includes Messrs. Humenik and Tabak. The purpose of the nominations and governance committee is to select, or recommend for our entire board’s selection, the individuals to stand for election as directors at the annual meeting of stockholders and to oversee the selection and composition of committees of our board. The nominations and governance committee’s duties also include considering the adequacy of our corporate governance and overseeing and approving management continuity planning processes.
 
Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers
 
None of our directors or executive officers or their respective associates or affiliates is indebted to us.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
As of the date of this report, there is no material proceeding to which any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or stockholders is a party adverse to us.
 
2006 Equity Incentive Plan
 
The purpose of our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, formerly the 2005 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”), is to enable us to attract, retain and motivate key employees, directors and, on occasion, consultants, by providing them with stock options. Awards granted under the 2006 Plan may be either incentive stock options, as defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, non-qualified stock options, performance shares, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus shares or dividend equivalents. Pursuant to the 2006 Plan, awards to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock may be granted under the 2006 Plan and, on December 31, 2007, stock options to purchase 1,975,000 shares of common stock were outstanding: 505,000 stock options with an exercise price of $.75 per share, 20,000 stock options with an exercise price of $1.65 per share, 20,000 stock options with an exercise price of $.65 per share, 705,000 stock options with an exercise price of $.395 per share, 300,000 stock options with an exercise price of $.47 per share, 125,000 stock options with an exercise price of $.53 per share and 300,000 stock options with an exercise price of $.71 per share. The $.75 options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of October 17, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The $1.65 options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of March 1, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The $.65 options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of May 29, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The $.395 options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of October 23, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The $.47 options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of September 19, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The $.53 options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of December 12, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The $.71 options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of September 19, 2009, 2010 and 2011 The aggregate number of shares of common stock subject to stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance stock and bonus shares granted to any one employee during any calendar year, may not exceed 300,000 shares. The aggregate fair market value of common stock with respect to incentive stock options that are exercisable for the first time by any employee may not exceed $100,000 during any calendar year.

26


The 2006 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, or by the board of directors as a whole. The board of directors has the power to determine the terms of any award granted under the 2006 Plan, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the award and conditions of exercise. Stock options granted under the 2006 Plan are generally not transferable, and each stock option is generally exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee. The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the 2006 Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of the grant. With respect to any participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option granted must be equal to at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The term of all incentive stock options under the 2006 Plan may not exceed ten years, or five years in the case of 10% owners. The board of directors, pursuant to an authorizing resolution, has the power to terminate the 2006 Plan at any time and for any reason.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
We do not have securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and, accordingly, our directors, officers and affiliates are not required to file reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
 
Code of Ethics
 
Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics, which applies to all our directors, officers and employees. Our code of ethics is intended to comply with the requirements of Item 406 of Regulation S-B.

Our code of ethics is posted on our Internet website at www.odyne.com. We will provide our code of ethics in print without charge to any stockholder who makes a written request to: Chief Financial Officer, Odyne Corporation, 89 Cabot Court, Suite L, Hauppauge, New York 11788.

ITEM 10.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
 
The following table sets forth, for the most recent fiscal year, all cash compensation paid, distributed or accrued, including salary and bonus amounts, for services rendered to us by our Chief Executive Officer and four other executive officers in such year who received or are entitled to receive remuneration in excess of $100,000 during the stated period and any individuals for whom disclosure would have been made in this table but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer as at December 31, 2007:

Compensation of Directors
 
Directors are expected to timely and fully participate in all regular and special board meetings, and all meetings of committees that they serve on. We currently compensate non-management directors through stock options granted under our stock option plan and a cash stipend for each meeting attended.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, each of our non-management directors, Messrs. Humenik, Struble and Tabak, received grants of stock options to purchase 80,00 and 50,000 shares of our common stock for serving on our board of directors. The 2007 stock options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of October 23, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The 2006 stock options vest and become exercisable in three equal increments on each of October 17, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Messrs. Tannenbaum and Hauser, as members of management, do not receive separate compensation for serving as directors.
 
The table below summarizes the compensation that we paid to non-management directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Employment Agreements
 
We have employment agreements with Joseph M. Ambrosio and Konstantinos Sfakianos. The employment agreements require each of the executives to devote all of their time and attention during normal business hours to our business as our Executive Vice President - Engineering and Chief Technology Officer, and Executive Vice President - Operations, respectively. The employment agreements for Messrs. Ambrosio and Sfakianos have an amended term of three years from October 26, 2007. The employment agreements provide that each executive will receive an annual salary of $140,000 during the first year of the term with increases equal to 5% of such salary on each anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement. In addition, each executive is entitled to (a) receive a cash bonus in an amount determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors if we meet or exceed certain mutually agreed upon performance goals and (b) participate in our stock option plan.

On September 19, 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with Alan Tannenbaum. The employment agreement has a term expiring one year from October 26, 2007, and requires Mr. Tannenbaum to devote all of his time and attention during normal business hours to the business of our company as Chief Executive Officer. So long as he serves as Chief Executive Officer, he will also be nominated as a director. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Tannenbaum will receive a base salary at the annual rate of $145,000, starting on January 1, 2008. In addition, Mr. Tannenbaum is entitled to (a) receive a cash bonus in an amount determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors based on our company meeting or exceeding certain mutually agreed upon performance goals and (b) participate in our employee benefit plans.

Under Mr. Tannenbaum’s employment agreement, we agreed to grant stock options to him to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. Of such stock options, options to purchase 300,000 shares have an exercise price equal to $.47 per share (the closing market price of our common stock on October 26, 2007), options to purchase 2,400,000 shares have an exercise price equal to $.32 per share (the average closing market price of our common stock on the 30 consecutive trading days on and prior to October 26, 2007), and options to purchase 300,000 shares have an exercise price equal to $.71 per share (the closing market price of our common stock on January 2, 2008). Each stock option will vest in three equal installments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and expires ten years after it is granted. We have agreed to adopt a new incentive compensation plan or amend our existing plan to increase the number of available options that we may grant in order to satisfy our obligation to Mr. Tannenbaum.

29

 
The employment agreements provide for termination of an executive’s employment without any further obligation on our part upon the death or disability of the executive or for cause. In the event that an executive’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason, we are obligated to pay such executive his salary for the remainder of the term. Termination for cause means termination as a result of (w) willful and material malfeasance, dishonesty or habitual drug or alcohol abuse by the executive related to or affecting the performance of his duties, (x) continuing and intentional breach, non-performance or non-observance of any of the terms or provisions of the employment agreement, but only after the failure of the executive to cure the breach within ten days of receipt of notice from us, (y) conduct which the board determines could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on us, but only after the failure of the executive to cease such conduct within ten days of receipt of notice from us, or (z) the executive’s conviction of a felony, any crime involving moral turpitude related to or affecting the performance of the executive’s duties or any act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or willful breach of fiduciary duty against us. Good reason means (i) material breach of our obligations under the employment agreement, (ii) any decrease in the executive’s salary during the term of the executive’s employment (except for decreases that are in conjunction with decreases in executive salaries generally), or (iii) (a) in the case of Mr. Tannenbaum a reduction in his duties or authority inconsistent with the duties and authority of an executive officer and (b) in the case of Messrs. Ambrosio and Sfakianos, any material reduction in their duties or authority.

The employment agreements also contain covenants (a) restricting the executive from engaging in any activity competitive with our business during the term of the employment agreement and in the event of termination for cause or without good reason, for a period of one year thereafter, (b) prohibiting the executive from disclosing confidential information regarding us, and (c) soliciting our employees, customers and prospective customers during the term of the employment agreement and for a period of one year thereafter.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS   , AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
 
Related Party Transactions

Prior to the closing of our reverse public offering, we had a total of approximately $281,000 in principal amount of unsecured loans outstanding from Roger M. Slotkin, our former Chief Executive Officer ($102,300), Joshua A. Hauser ($82,600), Konstantinos Sfakianos ($62,400) and Joseph M. Ambrosio ($33,400). Interest accrued on these loans at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded monthly based on a 360-day year. On October 17, 2006, accrued interest in the amount of $43,559 was forgiven, $140,000 of principal amount of the unsecured loans was converted to our equity and $139,725 was repaid from the proceeds of the 2006 private placement.
 
We had a total of approximately $624,000 of deferred compensation due to Roger M. Slotkin, our former Chief Executive Officer ($167,000), Joshua A. Hauser ($167,000), Konstantinos Sfakianos ($145,000) and Joseph M. Ambrosio ($145,000), which was forgiven on October 17, 2006.
 
We had outstanding bank and credit card debt of approximately $181,000, which was personally guaranteed by Messrs. Sfakianos and Ambrosio. We repaid this debt from the proceeds of the 2006 private placement and the personal guarantees were released. Mr. Slotkin, our former chief executive officer, purchased 50 shares of series A convertible preferred stock and associated warrants in the 2006 private placement, on the same terms as other investors. In March 2007, Mr. Slotkin converted his preferred shares into common stock in accordance with the terms of such preferred stock. Mr. Tabak participated in the convertible note financing and purchased approximately 24 shares of series A convertible preferred stock and associated warrants in the private placement on the same terms as other investors. Mr. Humenik purchased 20 shares of series A convertible preferred stock and associated warrants in the 2006 private placement, on the same terms as other investors.

32


In October 2007, Alan Tannenbaum, our Chief Executive Officer, lent us $250,000 in the form of a short term bridge note. Later that month, Mr. Tannenbaum purchased $250,000 principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible debentures and associated warrants in our October 2007 private placement, on the same terms as other investors, the proceeds from which we used at closing to repay his bridge note.
 
It is our policy that all related party transactions must be approved by a majority of the independent and disinterested members of our board of directors, outside the presence of any interested director and, to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the board of directors, we will obtain fairness opinions or stockholder approval in connection with any such transaction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors
Odyne Corporation
And Subsidiary
Hauppauge, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Odyne Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Odyne Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ODYNE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 
NOTE 1 – The Company
 
Organization
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements presented are those of Odyne Corporation (the “Company” or “Odyne”), which was originally formed as a Subchapter S Corporation in the State of New York on August 3, 2001, and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and installs Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (“PHEV”) propulsion systems for medium and heavy duty trucks and buses using its proprietary technology.

Merger of Technology Integration Group , Inc. and Odyne Corporation
 
Pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), Technology Integration Group, Inc. (“TIG”), through a newly-formed acquisition subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding common stock of the Company on October 17, 2006. TIG, in exchange for the Company’s stock, issued 12,000,000 shares of its common stock directly to the Company’s stockholders (the “Share Exchange Transaction”). Following the Share Exchange Transaction, the existing stockholders of TIG retained 6,000,000 shares of TIG’s outstanding common stock and the Company’s stockholders became the majority owners of TIG. TIG was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 3, 1999.
 
Prior the Share Exchange Transaction, TIG was a publicly-traded corporation with nominal operations of its own. TIG, immediately following the Share Exchange Transaction, changed its name to Odyne Corporation and continued to carry on the operations of the Company. The Share Exchange Transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization transaction in which the original Odyne is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Odyne, adjusted to give retroactive effect to the recapitalization of Odyne into TIG.
 
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-term assets, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances and valuation of equity instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may be invested in money market funds, commercial paper, and certificates of deposits. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

F-8


Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash accounts at high quality financial institutions with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. The Company had cash balances in excess of federally insures limits of approximately $1,987,000 and $3,112,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006,respectively. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s deposits are financially sound and have minimal credit risk.
 
Accounts Receivable
The Company has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses on its existing accounts receivable. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s customers include vehicle manufacturers, vehicle retrofitters, municipal governments, public utilities and not-for-profit organizations.

Inventory
Inventories include raw material and assembled parts. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in first out (“FIFO”) method, or market.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

 
·
Fixed Price Production Contracts
Revenues from fixed-price production contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. The Company considers expended cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Cost of revenues earned on fixed-price contracts includes direct contract costs such as materials, labor, subcontract labor, payroll, payroll taxes, insurance and other sundry direct costs, and indirect contract costs such as travel and supplies. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The Company’s provision for estimated losses was $3,016 and $26,939 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively .

 
·
Completed - Contract Method
Under the completed contract method, revenue and cost of individual contracts are included in operations in the year during which they are completed. Losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. The aggregate of cost of uncompleted contracts in excess of related billings is included in inventory, and the aggregate of billings on uncompleted on uncompleted contracts in excess of related cost is shown as a liability. The Company adopted this accounting method effective January 1, 2007 in order to account for short term fixed price contracts. No revenue was recognized using this method during the year ended December 31, 2007.

·
Time and Materials Contracts
Revenues from time and materials contracts are billed, including profits, as incurred based on a fixed labor rate plus materials. No revenues were generated from time and materials contracts for the year ended December 31, 2007. Revenues generated from time and materials contracts amounted to $3,426 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Cost of revenues from time and materials contracts includes labor and materials.
 
Product Warranty Reserves
 
Product warranty reserves are established in the same period that revenue from the sale of the related products is recognized. The amounts of those reserves are based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company established a warranty reserve for delivered systems in the amount of $43,000.
 

F-9


 
Research and development expenses include costs incurred for the experimentation, design and testing of the Company’s PHEV technology. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development cost includes direct costs such as materials, labor, subcontract labor, payroll, payroll taxes, insurance and other sundry direct costs, and indirect costs such as travel, supplies, repairs and depreciation.

The Company has received non-refundable development funding from various governmental and/or energy related agencies, including Long Island Power Authority, the Electric Power Research Institute and the Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition. These research projects are funded, in part, by third parties and expensed as incurred. The Company records non refundable development funds as a reduction of research and development cost.

Research and development expenses, net of non-refundable development funding, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Intangible Assets - Patents
 
Costs incurred to obtain patents are amortized over the remaining legal life of the patent or its economic useful life, if shorter. Patent costs are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstance indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if future cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying values.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. SFAS No. 109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Furthermore, SFAS No. 109 provides that it is difficult to conclude that a valuation allowance is not needed when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Therefore, cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall assessment. Accordingly the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. In addition, the Company expects to provide a full valuation allowance on future tax benefits until it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to utilize the assets, or other significant positive evidence arises that suggests its ability to utilize such assets. The future realization of a portion of the reserved deferred tax assets related to tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options, if and when realized, will not result in a tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations, but rather will result in an increase in additional paid in capital. The Company will continue to re-assess reserves on deferred income tax assets in future periods on a quarterly basis.
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”(“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. In addition, the company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

Prior to the aforementioned Share Exchange Transaction which occurred on October 17, 2006, the Company’s stockholders elected for the Company to be treated as an “S” corporation under subchapter “S” of the Internal Revenue Code and as a small business corporation under similar provisions of the New York State income tax code applicable to corporations. Accordingly, no income tax provision had been recorded prior to the Share Exchange Transaction as any income earned or losses incurred and any tax credits were reported by the stockholders in their individual federal and state income tax returns.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). This statement is a revision of SFAS Statement No. 123, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123(R) addresses all forms of share based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights.Under SFAS 123(R), SBP awards are measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and results in a charge to operations.

Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation  
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” (“EITF 96-18”) which requires that such equity instruments be recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are being amortized over the term of the related service period.

Net Loss Per Share
 
Net loss per share is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share.” (“SFAS 128”) Under SFAS 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period and excludes any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. The computation of loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 excludes potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Loss per share retroactively includes 12,000,000 shares of common stock issued to the former stockholders of the Company in the Share Exchange Transaction, as if these shares were outstanding for all periods presented.

Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of potentially dilutive securities at December 31 2007 and 2006 are as follows;

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this statement on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-11, “ Accounting for Income Tax Benefits on Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards ” (“EITF 06-11”) effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2007.  EITF 06-11 addresses share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified non-vested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified non-vested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under Statement 123(R) and result in an income tax deduction for the employer.  A realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings are paid to employees for equity-classified non-vested shares, non-vested equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid in capital.  The amount recognized in additional paid-in capital for the realized income tax benefit from dividends on those awards should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share-based payments.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operation and cash flows.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 requires a) the ownership interest in the subsidiary held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, b) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and c) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently. Entities must provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 3 –   Cash

Cash - Restricted
 
The terms of the October 2006 Private Placement Agreement required that the Company use $250,000 of the proceeds of this transaction during the twelve months following the closing toward establishing a comprehensive capital markets initiative. The balance of the restricted cash account was $-0- and $227,583 as of December 31 2007 and 2006, respectively . Should one or a series of related warrant exercises result in additional proceeds to the Company of at least $1,500,000, the Company would be required to deposit an additional $200,000, to be held in trust and used exclusively for additional capital markets initiatives during the twelve months following the warrant exercise. Through December 31, 2007, the Company has received no such warrant exercise proceeds.

NOTE 7 –   Development Funding Subject to Repayment

The Company entered into a contract in which it received development funding from the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority in the amount of 3,642 and $80,428 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. Funding received under the terms of this agreement is subject to repayment based on a percentage of sales of the related invention or discovery as defined under the terms of the agreement. Funding due to be repaid under this agreement was $ 5,587 and $ -0- at December 31 2007 and 2006, respectively, and is included in accrued payroll and other operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The obligation terminates upon the earlier of fifteen (15) years from the date of the first sale or upon repayment of the amount of funds received under the agreement. Development funding subject to repayment amounts to $238,948 and $240,894 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively and is presented as a liability in the accompanying balance sheets. This contract was recently amended as described in Note 11.

NOTE 8 –   Convertible Debentures

On October 26, 2007, the Company completed a private placement to five accredited investors (the “Investors”) resulting in gross proceeds of $3,200,000, pursuant to the terms of a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”). The securities were offered and sold in Units , consisting of $100,000 principal amount of 10% senior secured convertible debentures (“Debentures”) and a warrant, expiring October 26, 2010, to purchase 133,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share (“Warrants”).  

The Company allocated the proceeds of $3,200,000 between the Debentures and the Warrants based on the relative fair value-based method. The proceeds were allocated to the value of Warrants of $938,671 as debt discount, which is being amortized over the eighteen-month life of the Debentures as additional interest expense. The warrants, including 4,266,667 issued as part of the Units sold to investors and 1,000,000 warrants issued to the placement agents in this transaction, were valued by utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:   fair value per share of common stock $.47, volatility rate 29.95%, risk free interest rate 3.79%, expected term three years, dividend yield 0. Amortization of the discount resulted in interest expense in the amount of $172,304 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The unamortized debt discount at December 31, 2007 in the amount of $766,367 has been accounted for as a reduction of the Debentures. Accrued interest payable on the Debentures of $57,863 as of December 31, 2007 is reflected on the accompanying balance sheet.

The Debentures bear interest at 10% per year, payable quarterly in cash or freely-tradable common stock, at the Company’s option, and mature on the earlier of 18 months after the original issuance date or the completion of one or a series of related debt or equity financing transactions for minimum aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000. This does not include any financing transaction by a factor or commercial bank (a “Subsequent Financing”). 

The Debentures are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s and its subsidiary’s assets. The outstanding balance of the Debentures may be converted, at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, at the earlier of 12 months after the original issuance date, into shares of Company common stock at a conversion price equal to 70% of the then market price per share of common stock, or upon the completion of a Subsequent Financing, into the securities being sold in such Subsequent Financing at an effective conversion price equal to 80% of the purchase price of those securities included in the Subsequent Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum conversion price will be no less than $.25 per share. Partial conversions by the Investors are permitted.

F-14

 
  
Pursuant to the terms of a related Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as possible for purposes of registering the resale of the shares of Company common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants sold in the private placement. As required, the Company filed a registration statement in December 2007 within 60 calendar days following the closing. In the event that this registration statement is not declared effective within 120 calendar days following the closing, the Company is obligated to pay the Investors 2% in cash or stock of the face amount of the Debentures for every 30-day period, or portion thereof, that the registration statement is not declared effective for a maximum of six months, subject to the ability of the Investors to sell the underlying shares pursuant to Rule 144. Liquidated damages, should there be any, can be paid in cash or freely-tradable common stock, at the Company’s option. The Company also agreed not to file a registration statement for any additional shares of common stock until 75 days after the effective date of the aforementioned registration statement.

The securities sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated there under.

NOTE 10 – Commitments   and Contingencies

Operating Lease
 
The Company conducts its operations from a single facility, under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring in June 2009 requiring minimum monthly payments that increase from $5,544 to $7,708 over the term of the lease.

Future minimum rental payments under the above non-cancelable operating lease are as follows:

Litigation

On January 16, 2008, a subcontractor commenced an action against Odyne Corporation and others in the Supreme Court, Suffolk County seeking to recover damages based on alleged facts concerning our commercial relationship with the plaintiff in the latter part of 2006 and the early part of 2007 which culminated in an Exclusive Sales and Marketing Agreement, whereby the plaintiff agreed to serve as the exclusive retrofitting installer of our plug-in hybrid electric propulsion systems for medium and heavy trucks and as the exclusive distributor of such vehicles in the New York metropolitan area. It is our opinion that the alleged facts, even if true, do not provide a legal basis for recovery, and we have filed a motion to dismiss the litigation on the grounds that the complaint fails to state any viable cause of action. The motion was submitted to the Supreme Court in Suffolk County on February 27, 2008 and is presently pending. Our management believes that we have a reasonable chance of succeeding in dismissing the action, although we cannot predict the outcome of the motion and the action.

Employment Agreements
In October of 2006, the Company entered into employment agreements with its Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President - Engineering and Chief Technology Officer, and Executive Vice President - Operations, respectively. The employment agreements have a term of three years. The employment agreements provide that each executive will receive an annual salary of $140,000 during the first year of the term with increases equal to 5% of such salary on each anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement. In addition, each executive is entitled to (a) receive a cash bonus in an amount determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors if the Company meets or exceeds certain mutually agreed upon performance goals and (b) participate in the company’s stock option plan.

The employment agreements provide for termination of an executive’s employment without any further obligation upon the death or disability of the executive or for cause. In the event that an executive’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason, the Company is obligated to pay such executive his salary for the remainder of the term.
 
On September 19, 2007, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Alan Tannenbaum as its new Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors. The employment agreement has a term expiring one year after the initial closing of the Company’s financing transaction which took place on October 25, 2007. The term may be extended for additional terms of one year provided the Company gives Mr. Tannenbaum 30 days prior written notice and the Mr. Tannenbaum accepts. The employment agreement provides for a base salary at the annual rate of $145,000, starting on January 1, 2008.


Under the employment agreement, the Company agreed to grant Mr. Tannenbaum stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of such stock options, options to purchase 300,000 shares were granted on October 25, 2007 at an exercise price of $.395, the closing market price on that date. The stock based compensation expense associated with these options is included in the amounts disclosed in Note12 hereunder. Options to purchase 300,000 shares will be granted on January 2, 2008, based on an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the common stock on such date. Each stock option will vest in three equal installments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and expire ten years after it is granted.

Options to purchase 2,400,000 shares will be granted at $.317 per share, based on the average closing market price of the common stock on the 30 consecutive trading days on and prior to the initial closing date of the private placement described in Note 8. These options are pursuant to a separate plan requiring shareholder approval, which has not yet been received and which approval is not assured. Consequently the no stock based compensation expense associated with these options has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Upon the date of receipt of shareholder approval, the stock based compensation expense associated with these options will be recorded as appropriate. These options will also vest in three equal installments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date and expire ten years after it is granted.
 
Consulting and Royalty Agreements
 
In October 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its outside engineering labor providers whereby it committed to paying for a minimum of 100 hours per month through December 2008. Hourly rates charged under the contract are $80 per hour in 2007 and $85 per hour in 2008.

NOTE 11 –   Stockholders’ Equity

Description of Common Stock
Each share of common stock has the right to one vote. The holders of common stock are entitled to dividends when funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors.

Description of Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 6,000 shares have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Description of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are entitled, at any time, to convert their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock into common stock, without any further payment. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred stock is initially convertible into 1,334 shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, a stock split, reverse stock split or combination of the Company’s common stock, an issuance of common stock or other securities as a dividend or distribution on the common stock, a reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock or a capital reorganization. In the event of a subsequent issue of common stock for cash consideration at a price less than $.75 per share, the conversion rate will be that number of shares of common stock equal to $1,000 divided by the price per share at which the common stock is issued.

Upon a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Company, or any transfer, sale or lease by the Company of its common stock or assets, the Series A Convertible Preferred stock will be treated as common stock for all purposes, including the determination of any assets, property or stock to which holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are entitled to receive, or into which the Series A Convertible Preferred stock is converted, by reason of the consummation of such merger, consolidation, sale or lease.

Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred stock are entitled to vote their shares on an as-converted to common stock basis, and shall vote together with the holders of the common stock, and not as a separate class.

In the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred stock will be entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets available for distribution to its stockholders, before any distribution is made to holders of Company common stock, liquidating distributions in an amount equal to $1,000 per share. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are entitled, holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock will receive liquidating distributions pro rata with holders of common stock, based on the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred stock is convertible at the conversion rate then in effect. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock holders do not have redemption rights.

F-18


Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock will not be entitled to receive dividends except to the extent that dividends are declared on the common stock. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends paid on the common stock based on the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are convertible on the record date of such dividend.

If the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is above $5.00 per share for a period of thirty consecutive trading days, then each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock automatically converts into the number of shares of common stock at the conversion rate then in effect.

Share Exchange Transaction
As described in Note 1 the Company completed a Share Exchange Transaction on October 17, 2006. Prior to the completion of the Share Exchange Transaction, the Company’s four principal stockholders owned, in the aggregate 10,588 shares of the Company’s stock which, under the terms of a stockholders agreement dated January 1, 2004, was subject to mandatory redemption upon the death of any such stockholder at a redemption price of $167 per share. In accordance with SFAS 150, the Company presented these shares in its balance sheet as an excess of liabilities over assets since such shares were subject to a mandatory redemption requirement. The stockholders agreement was terminated upon the completion of the Share Exchange Transaction. Accordingly, upon completion of the Share Exchange Transaction, the excess of liabilities over assets was reclassified as permanent capital to reflect their recapitalization into TIG common stock. In addition, the Company reclassified the amount of its accumulated deficit, which represents losses incurred in periods in which the Company maintained its status as a Subchapter S Corporation, into additional paid in capital.

The Share Exchange Transaction was treated as a recapitalization for accounting purposes since the Company was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in this transaction. TIG had 6,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding at the time of the Share Exchange Transaction.

Private Placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Pursuant to a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated July 27, 2006, the Company initiated a proposed $5,000,000 Private Placement which would, for each $1,000 Unit purchased, result in the issuance of (i) one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) warrants (“Investor Warrants”) to purchase 667 shares of the Company’s common stock with a contractual terms of four years. The minimum amount of the Series A Convertible Preferred Financing was $3,500,000 (“Minimum Amount”) and the maximum amount was $5,000,000. As described in Note 11, the Convertible Debenture holders were mandatory obligated to exchange their Convertible Debentures for such number of units that would result in a 120% exchange premium over the principal value of the Convertible Debentures.

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before 180 days after each closing date. The registration rights stipulated in the investor subscription agreements provide the payment of liquidated damages payable in such number of shares of common stock equal to 2% of the registerable shares up to a maximum of 20%

As a component of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock, holders were issued Investor Warrants to purchase a total of 3,835,271 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share expiring on October 16, 2010. The Company determined that the preferred stock was issued with an effective beneficial conversion feature for which it recorded a deemed dividend of $3,230,791an allocation of the proceeds to the relative fair values of the preferred stock and the warrants.

The Investor Warrants may be redeemed in whole or in part by the Company upon 30 days written notice, at a price of $.05 per share, provided (i) the average closing price of the common stock exceeds $3.00 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending within 15 days prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is given and the registration statement to be filed by the Company registering the common stock issued pursuant to the private placement is then effective or (ii) that the Company reports revenues in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of at least $3.0 million for the four full reporting quarters subsequent to the closing and the resale registration statement to be filed by the Company registering the common stock issued in the private placement is then effective.

F-19

 
The Investor Warrants contain provisions that protect the holders against dilution by adjustment of the purchase price in certain events, such as stock dividends, stock splits, and other similar events. Prior to exercise, the Investor Warrants do not confer upon holders any voting or any other rights as a stockholder. All of the Investor Warrants issued in these transactions are exercisable by the holders at any time.

The Company evaluated whether in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 150 and EITF Topic D-98, the Series A Convertible Preferred contained any features that permit the holder to settle such for shares for cash. The Company determined, based on the rights and privileges specified in the certificate of designation that there are currently no provisions that would permit the holders to redeem these shares for cash that are not solely with the Company’s control. The Company performs a classification assessment at each reporting date to determine whether a reclassification of these shares may be necessary.

The Company also evaluated the conversion option embedded in the Series A Convertible Preferred stock to determine whether, in accordance with SFAS 133 such conversion option should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as free standing derivative financial instrument. The Company determined that the conversion option meets the clearly and closely related criteria provide for in paragraph 61(l) of the implementation guidance in Appendix A to SFAS 133. Accordingly, the conversion feature was accounted for as an embedded conversion option.

On October 23 2007, the Company issued 725,000 stock options to key employees and directors at an exercise price of $.395 per share, The fair value of this award was estimated to be $95,990 at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighed average assumptions: fair value per share of common stock $.395 volatility rate 35.42 %; risk free interest rate 3.96%; expected term 4 years; dividend yield 0.

The volatility rate used for December 31, 2007 transactions was based upon the rates obtained from the Dow Jones Select Micro-Cap Index for appropriate historical periods upon which to develop a more reasonable estimate of volatility for the Company’s stock. Management believes that this result is more indicative of the Company’s actual volatility. The volatility rate used for December 31, 2006 ransactions was developed based on rates obtained from a similar company whose shares are publicly traded and have sufficient trading history upon which to develop a reasonable estimate. The Company has limited historical data upon which to base an expected term. Accordingly, the expected term of four years represents management’s best estimate of the period of time in which grantees would likely hold their options until realizing the benefit through their exercise. The Company has estimated that based upon assumed employee retention, 80% of the options granted entitled to vest by their terms, will actually vest annually. It believes that this rate is reasonable until such time as it develops reliable historical data.

FIN 48 requires companies to recognize in their financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure.
 
The Company and its subsidiary intend to file consolidated federal and state income tax returns. The consolidated group for this purpose includes TIG and the subsidiary it formed to acquire the stock of Odyne through the Share Exchange Transaction completed on October 17, 2006.  TIG, previous to the Share Exchange Transaction, had nominal operations and a net operating loss of approximately $50,000.  The initial period of tax reporting with respect to the subsidiary is for the period of October 17, 2006 through December 31, 2006. TIG (previous to the Share Exchange Transaction) filed Federal and State income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004,and 2005 that have not been examined by the applicable Federal and State tax authorities.
 
Management does not believe that the Company has any material uncertain tax position requiring recognition or measurement in accordance with the provisions of FIN 48. Accordingly, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company financial statements. The Company’s policy is to classify penalties and interest associated with uncertain tax positions, if required as a component of its income tax provision.

At December 31, 2007, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income, if any, of approximately $4.6 million expiring at various times through 2027. The Company’s determination of the amount of its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL’s”) includes approximately $50,000 associated with TIG that arose prior to the completion of the share exchange transaction. These NOL’s may be subject to a substantial limitation under the “Change of Ownership” provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such limitations are likely to result in the expiration of these net operating losses prior to their utilization.

The tax effects of significant temporary differences which give rise to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” management has evaluated the recoverability of the deferred income tax assets and the level of the valuation allowance required with respect to such deferred income tax assets. After considering all available facts, the Company fully reserved for its deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that their benefit will not be realized in future periods. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s deferred income tax assets satisfies the realization standard of SFAS No. 109, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly. A reconciliation of the expected Federal statutory rate of 34% to the Company’s actual rate as reported for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2009 is as follows:

  NOTE 14 –   Employee Benefit Plan

Effective April 1, 2007, the Company established the Odyne Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations, under which eligible employees may choose to make salary reduction contributions. The Company may make a matching voluntary contribution in the amount determined by a uniform percentage of each employee’s contribution that does not exceed a Company specified percentage of defined total employee’s compensation for the year or a fixed dollar amount and a discretionary contribution that would be allocated equally as a percentage of that year’s 401k plan employee deferrals, excluding highly compensated employees, as defined.

In order to be eligible for the Plan, an employee must be 21 years of age. In order to qualify for matching contributions, an employee must have 1000 hours of service in the year and be employed on the last day of the calendar year. An individual employee vests in the employer’s voluntary matching contribution 25% after one year of service, 50% after two years of service, 75% after three years of service and 100% after four years of service.

The Company made no contributions to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2007.
