of much greater value and aggressive growth, uses and results of our licensed
Danish technology, beliefs as to our future rapidly coming into clear focus,
potential to sharply limit the land application of animal wastes, beliefs as to
our holding the most cost effective and commercially attractive response to
demand in two rapidly expanding markets, provision of resources to fulfill the
WPS Agreement and efforts to seek financing and additional capital and other
statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward looking
statements as such term is defined in the Act. Because such statements involve
risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to,
uncertainties involving development stage companies, financing requirements and
uncertainties, difficulties involved in executing on a business plan,
technological uncertainties, risks relating to managing and integrating acquired
businesses, volatile and unpredictable developments (including plant outages and
repair requirements), the difficulty of estimating construction, development,
repair and maintenance costs and timeframes, the uncertainties involved in
estimating insurance and implied warranty recoveries, if any, the inability to
predict the course or outcome of any negotiations with parties involved with
POWR's or Microgy Cogeneration Systems, Inc.'s projects, uncertainties relating
to general economic and industry conditions, the amount and rate of growth in
expenses, uncertainties relating to government and regulatory policies, the
legal environment, intellectual property issues, the competitive environment in
which POWR and Microgy operate and other factors, including those described in
POWR's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
section "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations -- Certain Factors That May Impact Future Results" of POWR's

cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
