        proxy card) and broker non&#8722;votes on the counting of votes for each proposal is
        described below. Broker non&#8722;votes occur when shares held by a broker for a
        beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because
        (1)
        the broker holding shares in street name for the beneficial owner thereof
        does
        not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, and (2) the broker

        on their clients&#8217; behalf on &#8220;non&#8722;routine&#8221; proposals. For the purpose of

        of Directors believes that stock options are valuable tools for the recruitment,
        retention and motivation of qualified employees, including officers, and
        other
        persons who can contribute materially to the Company&#8217;s success. As of March 31,
        2008, only 76,225 shares of Common Stock were currently available for award
        under the Option Plan. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, options
        to
        purchase 212,000 shares of our Common Stock were awarded to new key employees
        and a new director. In addition, stock options were granted to key employees
        of
        Gemma Power Systems LLC and its affiliated companies (&#8220;Gemma&#8221;) which was
        acquired by us in December 2006. This acquisition added management and
        non-management employees to the Company&#8217;s existing workforce. We may hire
        additional management and non-management employees as a result of future
        business acquisitions or other growth of the Company. The Board of Directors
        believes that it is important to have additional shares available under the
        Option Plan to provide adequate incentives to new employees and other key
        members of the Company&#8217;s workforce. The material features of the Option Plan,
        including the proposed amendment, are outlined below. The following summary
        is
        qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Option Plan,
        a
        copy of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
        Commission.</font></div>

        The
        purpose of the Option Plan is to continue to provide an incentive to employees,
        directors, consultants and others who are in a position to contribute materially
        to the long term success of the Company, to increase such person&#8217;s interest in
        the Company&#8217;s welfare and to aid in retaining individuals with outstanding
        ability. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the
        Company.</font></div>

        </em></font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The
        Option Plan currently provides for the grant to employees, officers, directors
        and consultants of options to purchase up to 650,000 shares of Common Stock.
        The
        proposed amendment would increase the number of shares issuable upon exercise
        of
        options to 1,150,000. Options may be either &#8220;incentive stock options&#8221; within the
        meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
        &#8220;Code&#8221;), or non-qualified options. Incentive stock options may be granted only
        to employees of the Company (including directors who are employees), while
        non-qualified options may be issued to directors (whether or not an employee),
        consultants and other non-employees of the Company. The Board of Directors
        of
        the Company has the authority to determine those individuals who shall receive
        options, the time period during which the options may be partially or fully
        exercised, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under
        each
        option and the option exercise price. </font></div>

        of the Options.</em></font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">
        The per
        share purchase price of the Common Stock subject to an incentive stock option
        may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time
        the
        option is granted. The per share exercise price of the Common Stock subject
        to a
        non-qualified option may be established by the Board of Directors of the
        Company. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the option
        is granted) of the Common Stock that first becomes exercisable by any employee
        in any one calendar year pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options
        may
        not exceed $100,000. No person who owns, directly or indirectly, at the time
        of
        the granting of an incentive stock option to him, 10% or more of the total
        combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (a &#8220;10%
        Stockholder&#8221;) shall be eligible to receive any incentive stock options under the
        Option Plan unless the option price is at least 110% of the fair market value
        of
        the Common Stock subject to the option, determined on the date of grant.
        Options
        awarded under the Option Plan must be granted no later than July 19, 2011.
        Incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan cannot be exercised
        more
        than ten years from the date of grant except that incentive stock options
        issued
        to a 10% Stockholder are limited to five year terms. All options granted
        under
        the Option Plan provide for the payment of the exercise price in cash or
        by
        delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock already owned by the
        optionholder having a fair market value equal to the exercise price of the
        options being exercised, or by a combination of those methods of payment.
        Therefore, an optionee may be able to tender shares of Common Stock to purchase
        additional shares of Common Stock and may theoretically exercise all of his
        stock options with no additional investment other than his original
        shares.</font></div><br>

        Options
        granted under the Option Plan may be either incentive stock options or
        nonstatutory options (also referred to as non-qualified options). If an option
        granted under the Option Plan is an incentive stock option, the optionee
        will
        recognize no income upon grant of the incentive stock option and incur no
        tax
        liability due to the exercise unless the optionee is subject to the alterative
        minimum tax. The Company will not be allowed a deduction for federal income
        tax
        purposes as a result of the exercise of an incentive stock option regardless
        of
        the applicability of the alternative minimum tax. Upon the sale or exchange
        of
        the shares at least two years after grant of the option and one year after
        transfer of the shares to the optionee by the Company, any gain will be treated
        as long-term capital gain. If these holding periods are not satisfied, the
        optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the
        exercise price and the lower of the fair market value of the stock at the
        date
        of the option exercise or the sale of the stock. The Company will be entitled
        to
        a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the
        optionee. Any gain recognized on such a premature disposition of the shares
        in
        excess of the amount treated as ordinary income will be characterized as
        capital
        gain. Currently, the tax rate on net capital gain (net long-term capital
        gain
        minus net short-term capital loss) is capped at 28%. Capital losses are allowed
        in full against capital gains plus $3,000 of other income. The Company will
        be
        entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized
        by the optionee with respect to shares acquired upon the exercise of a
        nonstatutory option.</font></div>
