Item 1. Business.

Background

Hybrid Technologies, Inc. ("we", “us", the "Company" or "Hybrid Technologies") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in April 2000. We are a development stage technology company. We are engaged in the development and marketing of electric powered vehicles and products.

We changed our name from Whistler Investments, Inc. to Hybrid Technologies, Inc. on March 9, 2005 to reflect our corporate focus. Since our incorporation, we evaluated various business opportunities including a mineral property in British Columbia; the Azra Shopping Center in Las Vegas, which we acquired on April 10, 2002, and disposed of on January 1, 2003; a Vancouver based coffee franchise; oil and gas properties in California; and a medical software product company. We did not pursue several of these opportunities, and none of these business opportunities produced meaningful revenue. Following the sale of the Azra shopping center and our determination not to pursue acquisition of a medical software company, we began to focus our efforts on the development and marketing of electric powered vehicles and products.

Recent Developments

 Effective April 15, 2008, we entered into two material agreements with respect to our subsidiary Zingo, Inc., the name of which was subsequently changed to Superlattice Power, Inc. (“Superlattice”).

Sale of Our Subsidiary 

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 15, 2008 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), with Blue Diamond Investments Inc. (the “Purchaser”), at a closing held on April 18, 2008, we sold the 80,000,000 shares of common stock of Superlattice held by us to the Purchaser for $215,000. The sale price approximated the independent valuation of $214,921 for our interest in Superlattice that we received from a certified general appraiser as of December 10, 2007. Our stockholders, at our annual meeting held on December 21, 2007, discussed and approved the sale of our interest in Superlattice for this price. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we also assigned to the Purchaser all receivables or debt obligations of Superlattice owing to or held by us at March 31, 2008.

License Agreement for Our Lithium Ion Battery Technology

Effective April 15, 2008, we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Superlattice providing for our license to Superlattice of our patent applications and technologies for rechargeable lithium ion batteries for hybrid vehicles and other applications (“Licensed Products”).

Under the License Agreement, we have the right to purchase our requirements of lithium ion batteries from Superlattice, and our requirements of lithium ion batteries shall be supplied by Superlattice in preference to, and on a priority basis as compared with, supply and delivery arrangements in effect for other customers of Superlattice. Our cost for lithium ion batteries purchased from Superlattice shall be Superlattice’s actual manufacturing costs for such batteries for the fiscal quarter of Superlattice in which our purchase takes place.

Superlattice has agreed to invest a minimum of $1,500,000 in each of the next two years in development of the technology for the Licensed Products.

Effective May 1, 2008, Superlattice leased approximately 5,000 square feet of space (“Leased Space”) in our North Carolina facility, such Leased Space to be suitable for, and utilized by Superlattice for, Superlattice’s developmental and manufacturing operations for Licensed Products pursuant to the License Agreement. The Leased Space is leased on a month-to-month basis at a monthly rental of $2,500, the monthly rental to be escalated five (5%) percent annually. Effective April 16, 2008, we also sold to Superlattice for the purchase price of $29,005, specified equipment and supplies related to the Licensed Field.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 31, 2008, we had cash on hand of $101,095. At that same date our liabilities totaled $6,685,173. During the period since inception on April 12, 2000 to July 31, 2008, we had incurred net operating losses from continuing operations totaling $50,736,407. On July 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $78,640 and a stockholders' deficit of $4,127,965.

We had 23,347,257 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of October 15, 2008. Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

General

We are a early stage technology company. We are developing and marketing electric powered vehicles and products.

Our Electric Battery Pack and Vehicle Technology

After the termination of all licensing relationships with RV Systems and Lithium House, our initial licensor of battery technology, we began developing portable battery power pack technology and effecting vehicle conversions from conventional power systems to electric power systems in our own facility which we have purchased in Mooresville, North Carolina. We have commenced marketing conversions of four-wheel vehicles in 2007 and 2008.

2


In our Mooresville, North Carolina, facility we have Converted and tested vehicles based on Chrysler PT Cruiser, Crossfire, Mini Cooper, Pontiac Vibe and Mercedes’ Smart car. We replaced the gasoline power systems with all electric power systems and battery management systems. We also convert some large and small ATV's, electric bicycles and electric scooters. We are converting three-wheeled vehicles, such as small ATV's and vehicles for handicapped persons. We are developing a rapid charge system that we anticipate reducing charge time by 65%.

 Our Mooresville facility consists of about 40,000 square feet of space.Some equipment at the facility includes a metal working lathe, metal welders, work tables, grinders, a metal cutting machine, several car lifts, power supplies and chargers. We are also setting up a battery lab that Superlattice will use of approximately 5,000 square feet, which is 80% completed.

The Battery Packs We Would Use

The electric vehicles’ battery pack performs the same function as the gas tank in a conventional vehicle: it stores the energy needed to operate the vehicle. We use battery packs created in-house from Kokam cells in our converted vehicles. We anticipate using cells created by Superlattice by late 2009.

Electric Motors

We are using a variety of electric motors in our converted vehicles. We are not reliant on any single manufacturer of electric motors. There are a large number of domestic and foreign manufacturers of electric motors, and we anticipate the motors with the specifications we require will be available at reasonable commercial prices from a number of these sources.

We believe that an important characteristic of our technology is the lithium battery power source we intend to use is more efficient and powerful than other battery power sources. Vehicles utilizing this technology have the ability to travel far greater distances, can recharge in less time and also benefit from weight reduction, as compared with vehicles using other battery powered systems. One of the major historic hurdles facing electric vehicle manufacturers is that most power sources would not allow the vehicle to travel over 100 miles before needing to be recharged. We believe that we can produce electric powered vehicles with a travel range equal to or greater than 200 miles.

A significant difference between electric vehicles and gasoline-powered vehicles is the number of moving parts. The electric vehicle motor has one moving part, the shaft, which is very reliable and requires little or no maintenance, reducing repair costs. Whereas the gasoline-powered vehicle’s motor has numerous moving parts, requiring a wide range of maintenance. The controller and charger are electronic devices with no moving parts, and they require little or no maintenance. Electric vehicle batteries are sealed and maintenance free, However, the life of these batteries is limited, and batteries will require periodic replacement. New batteries are being developed that will not only extend the range of electric vehicles, but will also extend the life of the battery pack which may eliminate the need to replace the battery pack during the life of the vehicle.

Products Under Development

We have products under development in the following categories.

We have converted golf carts, a type of neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV). A NEV is a 4-wheeled vehicle, larger than a go cart but smaller than most light-duty passenger vehicles. NEV's are usually configured to carry two or four passengers with a pickup bed. NEV's are defined by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as subject to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS} No. 500. Per FMVSS 500, NEV's have top speeds between 20 and 25 miles per hour and are defined as "Low Speed Vehicles". FMVSS 500 requires that NEV's be equipped with headlamps, stop lamps, turn signal lamps, tail lamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rear view mirrors, windshields, seat belts, and vehicle identification numbers. About 35 states have passed legislation or regulations allowing NEV's to be licensed and driven on roads that are generally posted at 35 miles per hour or less. While NEV’s were initially used in gated communities, they have been increasingly used by the general public for school transportation, shopping and general neighborhood trips. In addition, they are used at military bases, national parks, commercial airports and for local government activities.

ATV's and Lawn and Garden Equipment

We have converted ATV's, including four small two-passenger ATV's and a four-wheel drive, two-passenger ATV with a truck bed. We also developed what we view as a next generation ATV with four-wheel independent suspension produced by a major ATV manufacturer. This is planned to be the first “stealth" (or totally quiet) ATV. This ATV was displayed at the Globe 2004 exposition in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. We have also converted some lawn and garden equipment.

Converted Vehicles Currently Being Marketed

All of our converted vehicles that we offer for sale are displayed on our corporate website http:/www.hybridtechnologies.com. All of our vehicles are converted from models currently offered by automobile manufacturers. We have sold 11 vehicles as of the date of this report, including the following models: the LiV (Lithium Vehicle) Dash, a small (only 98 inches long) two-seater capable of 80 mph and a range of 120-150 miles on a full charge); the LiV Surge, a small four-door vehicle converted from a U.S. manufacturer with acceleration from 0-60 in under 10 seconds and a range of 100-120 miles; the LiV Rush, a converted two-seater sports car that does 0-60 in five seconds with a range of approx 150 miles; the LiV Wise, a compact two door, able to reach speeds over 75 mph and with a range of approx 120 miles; and the LiV Flash, our most popular model, a two door compact converted from a European model that is able to cruise at well over 80 mph with a range of 110-120 miles. 

We also offer the LiV Ryder converted motorcycle, custom made to the customer’s specifications, attainable speeds of over 70 mph and a range of over 40 miles; the LiV Cruz, an ergonomically correct bicycle with pedal power for back-up that is capable of speeds over 20 mph when using battery power; the LiV Bulldog, an ATV able to reach 45 mph with a range of over 40 miles and seating for two, four-wheel drive and a cargo area;

Current Joint Venture Activities or Negotiations in Progress

U.S. Navy

On February 5, 2004 we announced the initiation of a lithium-ion conversion project with the United States Navy. We have funded the initial 3kw prototype for this project, and the prototype has been completed and delivered to the Navy.

New York City Taxi Commission

The NYC Taxi Commission agreed to test a PT Cruiser which was delivered January 2007. The converted PT Cruiser Taxi was driven for two months in New York City. The project was stopped early due to several factors, the primary being that an electric vehicle cannot be run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Daily down time is required to charge the vehicle. The vehicle has been returned and the project is completed.

Paratransit

Paratransit, Sacramento, California, a company providing community transportation services, purchased two converted PT Cruisers. The two vehicles were delivered in November 2006.

NASA

We have signed a Space Act agreement with NASA and several vehicles are being tested by NASA at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Solar House
 
We are also participating to showcase our technology in a “green” home in Calgary, Alberta.

California Highway Patrol

Hybrid Technologies funded a lithium-powered bike to honor officers killed in the line of duty. This bike, produced by Big Bear Choppers, was displayed throughout California during the first week of May 2005 at media events honoring slain troopers, and will be kept in the CHP museum.

Arcadis

In September 2007, we signed a contract and have converted and delivered a PT Cruiser to Arcadis, a contractor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Administration.

Canadian Ministry of Transportation

We signed an agreement in June 2007, pursuant to which the Canadian Ministry of Transportation purchased a Smart Car and PT Cruiser, both of which have been delivered. The Smart Car has been returned and we are refunding the purchase price, since the vehicle did not fall within the criteria for Canadian testing.

Holiday 2007

Hybrid was featured as Sam’s Club’s once in a lifetime package and a Smart Car with a trip to NASA was sold to a Sam’s Club member. Other members were allowed to purchase similar Smart Car conversions at reduced pricing, with one other Smart Car sold at that price.

Competition

The discussion below identifies some of our principal competitors in
the electric vehicle and bicycle areas.

General Motors’ Chevrolet division is developing its model named “Volt”, an electric car, with a scheduled launch in the 2011 model year.

The Lightning GT is a battery powered sports car manufactured by the UK company British Lightning Car Company that is scheduled to go on sale in 2009. The expected price is about $200,000.

Research and Development Expenditures

We incurred research and development expenditures of $1,009,483 in our fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, and of approximately $1,402,077 in our fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.

6


Patents and Trademarks

The Company has filed provisional patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for three of our inventions relating to our battery management system, cathode material and an ultracapacitor. We have filed a trademark application with the USPTO for “Hybrid Technologies”, and a revised filing in April 2007, which received an initial refusal office action by the USPTO staff in May 2007. We plan to appeal this decision.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should be particularly aware of the inherent risks associated with our business plan. These risks include but are not limited to:

General

WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE BUSINESS

We have had minimal revenues from joint ventures and sales of our products. We have not signed any definitive joint venture agreements to commercialize any of our products. As of July 31, 2008, we had cash on hand of $101,095. At that same date our liabilities totaled $6,685,173. During the period since inception on April 12, 2000 to July 31, 2008, we had incurred net operating losses from continuing operations totaling $50,736,407. On July 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $78,640 and a stockholders' deficit of $4,127,965.

We expect that we will continue to incur operating losses in the future. Failure to achieve or maintain profitability may materially and adversely affect the future value of our common stock.

IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL

Our current operating funds and revenues from converted vehicle sales are less than necessary for commercialization of our products, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing to complete our business plan. We do not currently have arrangements for financing and we may not find such financing if required. Market factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.

WE HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUE TO BE THE SUBJECT OF A GOING CONCERN OPINION FROM OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, WHICH MEANS THAT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS UNLESS WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING

Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinions, issued in connection with our financial statements, which states our ability to continue as a going concern is uncertain.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE RISKS OF A NEW BUSINESS

Our business operations are relatively recent; therefore we face a potentially higher risk of business failure. Our sales revenues are still not significant as of the date of this report. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by newer companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the many problems including expenses, difficulties, complications, delays encountered in connection with the commercialization of our products. unanticipated problems relating to product development, arranging and negotiating with joint venture partners, additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We have limited history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our business will prove successful, and investors should be aware that there is a substantial risk that we may not generate any significant operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

7


Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future

OUR MANAGEMENT HAS LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN PRODUCTS UTILIZING ELECTRIC BATTERY POWER AND WITH NEGOTIATING COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUCH PRODUCTS

Our management has limited experience in negotiating licenses and joint ventures to commercialize the types of products we are developing. As a result of this inexperience, there is a high risk we may be unable to complete our business plan and negotiate profitable licenses or joint ventures for our lithium ion battery powered products. Because of the intense competition for our planned products, there is substantial risk that we will not successfully commercialize these products.

OUR PRODUCTS WILL BE HIGHLY REGULATED

Our products are highly regulated. There are special safety standards in effect for vehicles with a top speed of up to 25 miles per hour. Marketing vehicles that compete with passenger cars, requires compliance with the full federal safety standards. Regulatory reviews and compliance has already consumed significant time and resources and will continue to do so as we work towards obtaining a dealership license. This may adversely affect the timing of bringing products to market, as well as the profitability of such products once regulatory approvals are obtained.

OUR ELECTRIC POWERED VEHICLE BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL RISKS

The electric battery powered product market is competitive and risky. We are competing against numerous competitors with greater financial resources than us, and due to the difficulties of entry into these markets, we may be unsuccessful and not be able to complete our business plan.

WE INTEND TO RELY ON LITHIUM ION BATTERIES WHICH, IF NOT PROPERLY MANAGED, MAY POSE A FIRE HAZARD.

Another manufacturer of electric motor vehicles has received five reports of the batteries overheating, three of which caught fire, though no injuries have been reported. Our battery management systems will need to lessen or eliminate the risk of fire from the use of lithium ion batteries as a power source. If we are not able to develop such systems our business will not develop as planned. If our battery management systems fail, we could be liable to those who are harmed as a result of such failure.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Not applicable.

Item 2. Properties.

We rent office space of approximately 1,500 square feet in Las Vegas, for which we pay $1,500 monthly, pursuant to a one-year lease expiring March 2009. Our mailing address is 4894 Lone Mountain #168, Las Vegas, Nevada 89130, for which we pay $25 per month, on a month to month basis.

We purchased, in May 2006, a 40,000 square foot facility at 158 Rolling Hill in Mooresville, North Carolina.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Other than as described below, we are not a party to any material legal proceedings and to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

On June 3, 2008, we were notified of a case filed on June 2, 2008, by Peter Strojnik, Attorney at Law, in the Federal Court for the District of Arizona (Peter Strojnik, P.C. v. The Energy Bull et al.). On June 24, 2008, the plaintiff amended the complaint to include the Company as a defendant. The complaint seeks damages against The Energy Bull and other defendants based on transmission of unsolicited facsimiles illegally promoting the stock of the Company to the plaintiff and members of the class that the plaintiff purports to represent. The lawsuit seeks damages estimated in the complaint to be between $333 million and $3 billion, as well as injunctive relief for the alleged sending of unsolicited faxes. The Company denies these allegations and has filed a motion to dismiss to exclude the Company from the lawsuit. The Company disclaims, and has continually disclaimed on its web site and its communications with the investing public, all responsibility for authorizing in any manner unsolicited facsimiles issued by The Raging Bull or other parties that seek to promote the Company’s stock.
 
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Not applicable.

2003, 2005 and 2006 Restricted Stock Plans

On July 17, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2003 Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan"), pursuant to which 1,800,000 shares of common stock (split- adjusted) were reserved for issuance to eligible participants under the Plan. All shares have been issued under this plan, the provisions of which were similar to those of the 2005 Restricted Stock Plan described below.

On April 21, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2005 Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan"), pursuant to which 2,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance to eligible participants under the Plan. Such eligible participants include any person who is an employee of or consultant or advisor to Hybrid Technologies and who provides bona fide services for Hybrid Technologies, where the services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction and where the services do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for Hybrid Technologies’ common stock. In no case may an award be made under the Plan where the common stock granted in the award is not eligible for registration pursuant to Form S-8 (or any successor form promulgated for the same general purposes by the Securities and Exchange Commission) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All shares have been issued under this plan, with the exception of 14,500 shares subject to outstanding options.

The 2006 Restricted Stock Plan has been adopted by the board with 5,000,000 shares reserved. Options covering 2,000,000 shares were granted to Salim Rana, a shareholder of the Company, of which options covering 1,206,000 shares have been exercised. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company. Subject to the express limitations of the Plan, the Board has authority in its discretion to determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, restricted stock awards may be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, the time or times at which an award will become vested, the performance criteria, business or performance goals or other conditions of an award, and all other terms of the award. The Board also has discretionary authority to interpret the Plan, to make all factual determinations under the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for Plan administration. The Board may prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan. All interpretations, determinations, and actions by the Board are final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in this section.

Results Of Operations for the Year Ended July 31, 2008

We incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $6,064,840 for the year ended July 31, 2008, and of approximately $9,866,877 for the year ended July 31, 2007, and in the year ended July 31, 2008, general and administrative costs of $3,477,077 and interest expense of $231,114.

We had sales from continuing operations of $199,801 in the year ended July 31, 2008. Our net loss from continuing operations for 2008 decreased from fiscal 2007 (from $9,866,877 in 2007 to approximately $6,064,840 in 2008). This was primarily due to general and administrative costs of $8,383,310 in fiscal 2007, as compared with approximately $3,477,077 in 2008. We also had increased interest expense in the twelve months ended July 31, 2008 of $231,114, as compared with approximately $86,292 in the comparable period in 2007, and stock based compensation of $804,652 in 2008 as compared with -0- in 2007.

PLAN OF OPERATION

During the period since inception on April 12, 2000 to July 31, 2008, we had incurred net operating losses from continuing operations totaling $50,736,407. On July 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $78,640 and a stockholders' deficit of $4,127,965.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern.

12


As of July 31, 2008, we had cash on hand of $101,095. At that same date our liabilities totaled $6,685,173. We do not have sufficient cash on hand to complete commercialization of our current and planned products.

Electric Vehicle Operations

We convert vehicles in our developmental facility in Mooresville, North Carolina. Our team of highly qualified engineers oversee groups of electrical and mechanical staff. This 40,000 square foot facility has room for both conversions and storage with the potential for future growth, enabling us to work on many projects and vehicles concurrently.

With the license of our lithium battery technology described below, we are concentrating on sales of our vehicles. We have initiated several nationwide newspaper advertising campaigns which have generated orders for our vehicles, and we are also seeing as a result a significant increase in inquiries about our electric vehicle products.

Effective April 15, 2008, we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Superlattice Power, Inc. (formerly our subsidiary, Zingo, Inc., “SPI”) providing for our license to SPI of our patent applications and technologies for rechargeable lithium ion batteries for hybrid vehicles and other applications (“Licensed Products”). Under the License Agreement, we have the right to purchase our requirements of lithium ion batteries from SPI, and our requirements of lithium ion batteries shall be supplied by SPI in preference to, and on a priority basis as compared with, supply and delivery arrangements in effect for other customers of SPI. Our cost for lithium ion batteries purchased from SPI shall be SPI’s actual manufacturing costs for such batteries for the fiscal quarter of SPI in which our purchase takes place.

SPI has agreed to invest a minimum of $1,500,000 in each of the next two years in development of the technology for the Licensed Products.

Effective April 16, 2008, SPI agreed to lease approximately 5,000 square feet of space (“Leased Space”) in our North Carolina facility, such Leased Space to be suitable for, and utilized by SPI for, SPI’s developmental and manufacturing operations for Licensed Products pursuant to the License Agreement. The Leased Space is leased on a month-to-month basis at a monthly rental of $2,500, the monthly rental to be escalated five (5%) percent annually. Effective April 16, 2008, we also sold to SPI for the purchase price of $29,005, specified equipment and supplies related to the Licensed Field.

Commercial Initiatives

On February 5, 2004 we announced the initiation of a lithium-ion conversion project with the United States Navy. We have funded the initial 3kw prototype for this project, and the prototype has been completed and delivered to the Navy. The NYC Taxi Commission agreed to test a PT Cruiser which was delivered January 2007. The converted PT Cruiser Taxi was driven for two months in New York City. The vehicle has been returned and the project is completed. Paratransit, Sacramento, California, a company providing community transportation services, purchased two converted PT Cruisers. We have signed a Space Act agreement with NASA and several vehicles are being tested by NASA at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. We are also participating to showcase our technology in a “green” home in Calgary, Alberta. We signed an agreement in June 2007, pursuant to which the Canadian Ministry of Transportation purchased a Smart Car and PT Cruiser, both of which have been delivered. The Smart Car was not suited to their needs, has been returned and we will be refunding the purchase price. In September 2007, we signed a contract to provide and delivered a PT Cruiser to Arcadis, a contractor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Administration.

5.2 Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our incorporation, we have financed our operations almost exclusively
through the sale of our common shares to investors and borrowings. We expect to finance operations through the sale of equity in the foreseeable future as we receive minimal revenue from our current business operations. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in arranging financing on acceptable terms.

During the year ended July 31, 2008, we received net proceeds of $5,123,112 from the issuance of promissory notes for debt.

Wyndom Capital Loan Agreement

On October 29, 2007, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Wyndom Capital Investments, Inc. (referred to in this paragraph as the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for loans to the Company of up to $4,000,000, with a minimum initial loan of $500,000 the disbursement of which to us took place in late October, 2007. The notes evidencing the installments of the loans bear interest payable monthly in arrears at the rate of 10% per annum, and mature and are due and payable three years from the date of issuance. The loans under the Loan Agreement are secured by shares of our common stock held by the Lender. We are required to issue shares as collateral at the rate of two and one half shares of our common stock for each dollar principal amount of the loan advanced to us. If there is a trading halt in our common stock or we file for bankruptcy or reorganization, the Lender has full recourse against the Company to collect the unpaid amounts owing under the Loan Agreement and notes issued pursuant thereto, including a first priority lien on all of our assets. In the event of the occurrence of another type of default, which we do not cure in a timely fashion, the Lender, as its sole recourse, is entitled to take possession for its sole benefit of the shares of common stock designated as collateral for the principal amount of the Loan that is in default. After the Lender has disbursed the first $1,000,000 principal amount of the Loan to us, the Lender is entitled to receive a certificate for the balance of the 7,500,000 shares of common stock representing the collateral for the $3,000,000 balance of the funds that may be disbursed under the Loan Agreement. To the extent the $3,000,000 balance of funds are not delivered, we are entitled to cancel such certificate, with the Lender retaining the appropriate number of shares as collateral for advances in excess of $1,000,000. Following disbursement of the first $1,000,000 of funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement, on November 19, 2007, we issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock as collateral to the Lender. Following the one-for-seven reverse split effective in January 2008, we issued 8,571,427 shares of common stock to Wyndom to bring the number of their collateral shares back up to 10,000,000, as required by the Wyndom Loan Agreement.
 
We have been disbursed loans in the aggregate amount of $3,971,150 under the Wyndom Capital Loan Agreement as of July 31, 2008.

Crystal Capital Ventures Loan Agreement

On May 5, 2008, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Crystal Capital Ventures Inc. (referred to in this paragraph as the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for loans to the Company of up to $3,000,000, with a minimum initial loan of $500,000 the disbursement of which to us took place on May 19, 2008. The notes evidencing the installments of the loans bear interest payable monthly in arrears at the rate of 10% per annum, and mature and are due and payable three years from the date of issuance. The loans under the Loan Agreement are secured by shares of our common stock held by the Lender. We are required to issue shares as collateral at the rate of two and one half shares of our common stock for each dollar principal amount of the loan advanced to us. If there is a trading halt in our common stock or we file for bankruptcy or reorganization, the Lender has full recourse against the Company to collect the unpaid amounts owing under the Loan Agreement and notes issued pursuant thereto, including a priority lien on all of our assets. In the event of the occurrence of another type of default, which we do not cure in a timely fashion, the Lender, as its sole recourse, is entitled to take possession for its sole benefit of the shares of common stock designated as collateral for the principal amount of the Loan that is in default. After the Lender has disbursed the first $1,000,000 principal amount of the Loan to us, the Lender is entitled to receive a certificate for the balance of the 5,000,000 shares of common stock representing the collateral for the $2,000,000 balance of the funds that may be disbursed under the Loan Agreement. To the extent the $2,000,000 balance of funds are not delivered, we are entitled to cancel such certificate, with the Lender retaining the appropriate number of shares as collateral for advances in excess of $1,000,000. Following disbursement of the first $1,000,000 of funds pursuant to the Loan Agreement, on May 27, 2008, we issued 7,500,000 shares of common stock as collateral to the Lender.

We have been disbursed loans in the aggregate amount of $1,211,000 under the Crystal Capital Loan Agreement as of July 31, 2008, and received net advances of $62,505 from related parties in the year ended July 31, 2008.

Our current operating funds are less than necessary for commercialization of our planned products, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We anticipate that up to $2,000,000 of additional working capital will be required over the next 12 months for market introduction of these products through joint venture partners or otherwise. We do not have sufficient cash on hand to meet these anticipated obligations.

Apart from the Wyndom Capital and Crystal Capital Loan Agreements, which may not furnish us with all of the capital that we will require, we do not currently have any other arrangements for financing, and we may not be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor sentiment. Market factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.

Our auditors are of the opinion that our continuation as a going concern is in doubt. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from our shareholders and other related parties.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ISSUES
 
The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Other Matters
 
Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value.  The new Statement provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets.  Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy.  While SFAS No. 157 does not add any new fair value measurements, it does change current practice.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). The interpretation requires a two step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits based on a recognition threshold of "more likely than not." FIN 48 also requires explicit disclosures about uncertainties in tax positions including a detailed rollforward of tax benefits that do not qualify for financial statement recognition. The adoption of FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, The implementation of FIN 48 could have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheets and results of operations but the effect of such implementation is not determinable at this time.
 
In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, "Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets." SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No.29 by eliminating the exception under APB No. 29 for nonmonetary assets of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges on nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS no. 153 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
New Financial Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”) which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. This standard provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that SFAS 157 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS 159”) providing companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the Company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Statement on its financial statements.

16


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS 141 (R)”) “Business Combinations”, which replaces SFAS 141 “Business Combinations”. This Statement improves the relevance, completeness and representational faithfulness of the information provided in financial reports about the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. Under SFAS 141(R), acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, must be recognized separately from the acquisition and will generally be expensed as incurred. That replaces SFAS 141’s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. SFAS 141(R) shall be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual report period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will implement this Statement in 2009.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of non-controlling interests (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership in a subsidiary that does not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment of the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interest of the parent and its non-controlling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods other than fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this Statement on its financial statements.
 
In January 2008, Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110 “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 110”), was issued. Registrants may continue, under certain circumstances, to use the simplified method in developing estimates of the expected term of share options as initially allowed by SAB 107, “Share-Based Payments”. The adoption of SAB 110 should have no effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.
 
INTANGIBLES
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 specifies the financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but rather they are tested at least annually for impairment unless certain impairment indications are identified.

17


Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 

Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Investments that are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. We do not have significant short-term investments, and due to the short-term nature of our investments, we believe that there is not a material risk exposure. Our debt is at fixed interest rates.

Credit Risk - Our accounts receivables are subject, in the normal course of business, to collection risks. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse effects of collection risks. As a result we do not anticipate any material losses in this area.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of Hybrid Technologies, Inc.
4894 Lone Mountain Rd., #168
Las Vegas, NV 89110

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Hybrid Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries, a development stage company (collectively, the “Company”), as of July 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Hybrid Technologies, Inc. as of July 31, 2007, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 7, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of Hybrid Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hybrid Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,535,683 for the year ending July 31, 2008. As of July 31, 2008, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $128,640. The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in which the plaintiff is seeking damages up to $3 billion. The Company will vigorously defend itself but should the plaintiff succeed in obtaining a judgment, the Company does not have sufficient funds to pay the judgment. These factors and uncertainties, and others discussed in Note 1, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Hybrid Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (a development stage company) as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, and from April 12, 2000 (Inception) through July 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Hybrid Technologies, Inc. as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of consolidated operations and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, and from April 12, 2000 (Inception) through July 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $45,411,768 from April 12, 2000 (Inception) through July 31, 2007. This and other factors discussed in Note 2 raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
A Development Stage Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Financial statement presentation

The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the representations of management. These accounting policies conform to accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

History and Nature of Business
Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (formerly Whistler Investments, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 12, 2000. Hybrid Technologies, Inc.'s (the “Company”) original business was the exploration and development of mineral interests. The Company abandoned these interests in 2003.

The Company is currently pursuing the development and marketing of electric powered vehicles and products based on the advanced lithium battery technology it has developed. At July 31, 2008 the Company deems itself a development stage company as planned principal operations are minimal in its primary line of business.

On April 16, 2008, the Company sold their controlling interest of approximately 69% of the outstanding common stock in Zingo, Inc. (now Superlattice Power, Inc., “SPI”). Prior to April 16, 2008, SPI was a related party who provided telecommunication services to business and residential customers utilizing VOIP technology and currently is researching and developing rechargeable lithium ion batteries.

Effective April 15, 2008, the Company entered into a license agreement with SPI providing for their license to SPI of their patent applications and technologies for rechargeable lithium ion batteries for hybrid vehicles and other applications (“licensed products”). Under the license agreement, the Company has the right to purchase their requirements of lithium ion batteries from SPI, and their requirements of lithium ion batteries shall be supplied by SPI in preference to, and on a priority basis as compared with, supply and delivery arrangements in effect for other customers of SPI. The Company’s cost for lithium ion batteries purchased from SPI shall be SPI’s actual manufacturing costs for such batteries for the fiscal quarter of SPI in which the Company’s purchase takes place.

SPI has agreed to invest a minimum of $1,500,000 in each of the next two years in development of the technology for the Licensed Products. To date, investments have been made in the amount of $24,500. If the SPI does not make the required investments, it will be in default under the license agreement; Hybrid would have the right to terminate the license agreement.

Basis of presentation
The Company’s financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2008 have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company had $800,104 of revenue for the year ending July 31, 2008, of which $600,303 was from discontinued operations and as of July 31, 2008, there was a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $4.1 million. Management recognized that the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing and revenue to cover expenses as the Company continues to incur losses.

The Company’s business is subject to most of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of the expenses, difficulties, delays and unanticipated challenges encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, rising operating and development capital, and the marketing of a new product. There is no assurance the Company will ultimately achieve a profitable level of operations.

The Company presently does not have sufficient liquid assets to finance its anticipated funding needs and obligations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain needed working capital through additional equity and/or debt financing and achieve a level of sales adequate to support its cost structure. Management is actively seeking additional capital to ensure the continuation of its current activities and complete its proposed activities. However, there is no assurance that additional capital will be obtained. These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements included the accounts and records of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company does not have any special purpose entities.

Where the Company’s ownership is less than 100 percent, the minority ownership interests are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a liability. The Company record minority interest expense which reflects the portion of the earnings (loss) of majority owned operations which are applicable to the minority interest partners. The minority ownership of the Company’s earnings is classified as “Minority interest share of (earnings) loss of consolidated subsidiaries” from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following is a listing of the Company's subsidiaries and its ownership interests:
 
Global Electric, Corp.

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting standards 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial instruments
The fair value of accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances from related parties approximates fair value based on their short maturities. The fair value of notes payable approximate fair value based the value of other notes having the same or similar terms, interest rates and collateral.

Accounts receivables
The Company provides credit to customers in the normal course of business. An allowance for accounts receivable is estimated by management based in part on the aging of receivables and historical transactions. Periodically management reviews accounts receivable for accounts that appear to be uncollectible and writes off these uncollectible balances against the allowance accordingly.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is based on the specific identification method.

Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment are accounted for by accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives:

Deferred patent costs
The Company capitalizes costs directly incurred in pursuing patent applications as deferred patent costs. When such applications result in an issued patent, the related costs are amortized over the remaining legal life of the patents, which is assumed to be 17 years, using the straight-line method. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the issued patents and pending patent applications and if the Company determines to abandon a patent application, or an issued patent no longer has economic value, the unamortized balance in deferred patent costs relating to that patent is immediately expensed. As of July 31, 2008 there were only pending patent applications.

Stock based compensation
The Company issues stock options to employees and other certain service providers under stockholder approved stock option programs that provide the right to purchase the Company’s stock pursuant to stock purchase programs. The Company also issued common stock for services performed. The fair value of the stock options issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common stock issued for services is estimated on the date of issuance based on the value of the stock issued or the consideration received. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosures and discussions.

Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance contained in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" and other relevant accounting literature. Revenue is recognized when the product has been delivered and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, collection of the resulting receivable is deemed reasonably assured by management, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sale price is fixed and determinable.

Shipping and handling
Shipping and handling costs related to services and product sales are expensed as incurred.

Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Total advertising expenditures for the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 and inception to July 31, 2008 date amounted to approximately $755,000, $282,000 and $1,778,000, respectively.

Concentration of risk
The Company maintains cash deposit accounts and certificates of deposits which at times may exceed federally insured limits. These accounts have not experienced any losses and the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.

Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted tax rates applicable to future years to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of reported assets and liabilities.

The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes is the net operating loss carry forward.

Effective August 1, 2007, uncertain tax positions are accounted for in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." See Note 11 for further discussion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Long-lived assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (SFAS 144) "Accounting for Long-Lived Assets". The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts and circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The write down of the asset is charged to the period in which the impairment occurs.

Foreign currency translation
The functional currency for some foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at balance sheet date rates of exchange and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation adjustments in future periods will be recorded in Cumulative Other Comprehensive Income. The translation gains or losses were not material for the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007.

Comprehensive loss
The Company reports comprehensive loss in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 130. For the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, the difference between net loss and comprehensive loss is foreign currency translation.

Loss per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the specified period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares during the specified period. All potentially dilutive securities, which include options and warrants convertible into 1,019,000 and 794,000 common shares at July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, have been excluded from the computations, as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Discontinued Operations
In April 2008, the Company completed the sale of SPI. The operations of SPI were accounted for as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for the years presented herein. The divestiture resulted in a loss of $473,220 and $752,880, respectively, for the years ended July 31, 2008, and 2007, and $1,320,313 from inception (August 12, 2000) through July 31, 2008.

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications have had no impact on the net. The reclassification consisted of other assets being reclassified as marketable securities. The Company reclassified certain continuing operations to discontinued operations for the year ended July 31, 2007 in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” This standard establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquired and the goodwill acquired. This statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for us for acquisitions made after November 30, 2009. We are evaluating the impact of this standard and do not expect the adoption of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that we recognize in our financial statements the benefit 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. The provisions of FIN 48 become effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007 and do not feel that FIN 48 will have an impact on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (FAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 become effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on it consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, "Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)" (FAS 158). FAS 158 requires that employers recognize the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on the balance sheet and recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the plan-related gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost. We do not feel the implementation of this will have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured 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. The provisions of FAS 159 become effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact that FAS 159 will have on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 160 also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest on the face of the consolidated statement of income.

30


HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
A Development Stage Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Under SFAS No. 160, the accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation must be accounted for as equity transactions for the difference between the parent’s carrying value and the cash exchanged in the transaction. In addition, SFAS No. 160 also requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated (except in the case of a spin-off), and requires expanded disclosure in the Consolidated Financial Statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s ownership interest and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. This Statement is effective sixty days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 162 on its financial statements.

Effective August 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) resulted in the recording of compensation expense for employee stock options and employee stock purchase rights in our financial statements. Such compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the options or rights on the date of grant.

Using the modified-prospective transition method, the compensation cost recognized during the year ended July 31, 2007, included (i) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (ii) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123R-3, "Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards." The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R).
 
The following table reflects the assumptions utilized to value the 2006 stock option plan for the year ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 under SFAS 123R and using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Among other factors, the Black Scholes model considers the expected life of the option and the expected volatility of the Company's stock price in arriving at an option valuation. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury Rates for instruments with similar terms. The expected term of the grants were estimated based upon the Company’s prior average experience. The Company has not paid cash dividends to date and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the near future. The volatility assumptions were derived from historical volatilities of competitors whose shares are traded in the public markets and are adjusted to reflect anticipated behavior specific to the Company.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
 
None.
 
Item 9A (T). Controls and Procedures.

As supervised by our board of directors and our principal executive and principal financial officers, management has established a system of disclosure controls and procedures and has evaluated the effectiveness of that system. The system and its evaluation are reported on in the below Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our principal executive and financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the 1934 Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of July 31, 2008, are effective, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008. We carried out this assessment using the criteria of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. 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 management's report in this annual report. Management concluded in this assessment that as of July 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
 
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of our 2008 fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Item 9B. Other Information.

RE: 
EV Innovations, Inc.
Form 10-K for fiscal year ended July 31, 2008
Filed November 12, 2008
File No.  0-33391

Dear Mr. Webb:

EV Innovations, Inc. (the "Company") has received a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) under date of February 24, 2009.  As requested in such letter, the Company herewith provides the responses to the questions raised by staff.  For convenience, each comment is repeated below, followed by the Company's responses to each separate issue raised in the comment.

In connection with our responses to the Commission’s comments, we have filed an amendment to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 (the “Amended 2008 Form 10-K”).

Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2008

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page 20

1.  
City and State of Issuance of Auditor’s Report. The auditor’s report has been revised in the Amended 2008 10-K to include the city and state where issued.

2.  
Audit Period. The auditor’s report in the Amended 2008 10-K reflects the audit of the current year only.  Other auditors have audited from inception to July 31, 2007 and a copy of the previous auditors report is included in the filing.

3.  
PCAOB Standards. The auditor’s report in the Amended 2008 10-K has been revised to specifically indicate their audit was conducted in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

4.  
Development Stage Company. The auditors report has been revised to refer to the Company as “a development stage company”.

Consolidated Statements of Operations, page 23
 
5.  
Stock-based Compensation Expenses. In future filings the Company will remove the compensation element of stock issuance line item from the face of the financial statements.
 
 
 

 
 
6.  
Gains and Losses as Operating Items. In future filings the Company will classify the loss from sale of other assets as part of the operating activities in its statement of operations.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page 25

7.  
Investments in Subsidiaries. The nature of the $688 thousand cash outflow investment was for the day-to-day operations of the Company’s subsidiary, Zingo, Inc. (now Superlattice Power, Inc.), which at that time involved the operation of a VOIP telephone service provider.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, page 26

Note 1 Financial statement presentation, page 26

Significant Accounting Policies, page 27


8.  
Accounting Policies for Internal Research and Development Expenditures. The Company will revise future filings to disclose its accounting policies for internal research and development expenditures.

Discontinued Operations, page 29

9.  
Disposition of SPI as Discontinued Operation. The Company is not materially involved with the operations of Superlattice Power, Inc., and the operations of Superlattice have been eliminated from the operations of the Company. The Company will have no further involvement with Superlattice, except that the latter does rent office and lab space from the Company. The Company is now a development stage technology company that is focusing its resources and efforts on the development and marketing of lithium-powered vehicles and products, as well as on commercial and residential properties. The Company has purchased the lithium batteries we use from Kokam a Korean manufacturing firm, but could possibly become a customer of Superlattice in the future if Superlattice commences commercial production of lithium ion batteries.
