PROXY STATEMENT
GENERAL
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Hybrid Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), of proxies in the enclosed form for use in voting at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the Best Western Port O'Call Hotel, 1935 McKnight Boulevard NE, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 6V4, on Friday, December 21, 2007, at 8:00 A.M. (local time), and any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Only holders of record of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), on November 19, 2007 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had outstanding __________- shares of Common Stock.
Any person giving a proxy in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement has the power to revoke it prior to its exercise. Any proxy given is revocable prior to the Annual Meeting by an instrument revoking it or by a duly executed proxy bearing a later date delivered to the Secretary of the Company. Such proxy is also revoked if the stockholder is present at the Annual Meeting and elects to vote in person.
The Company will bear the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing the proxy materials furnished by the Board of Directors to stockholders. Copies of the proxy materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians to be forwarded to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, some of the officers, directors and regular employees of the Company may (without additional compensation) solicit proxies by telephone or personal interview, the costs of which the Company will bear.
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy is being sent or given to stockholders on or about November , 2007.
Stockholders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. Such shares may not be voted cumulatively.
Each validly returned proxy (including proxies for which no specific instruction is given) which is not revoked will be voted "FOR" each of the proposals as described in this Proxy Statement and, at the proxy holders' discretion, on such other matters, if any, which may come before the Annual Meeting (including any proposal to adjourn the Meeting).
Determination of whether a matter specified in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been approved will be determined as follows.
As to Proposal No. 1, those persons will be elected directors who receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the election. Accordingly, abstentions or directions to withhold authority will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
Proposal No. 2, approval of an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 to 250,000,000, requires for approval the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Abstentions will be considered shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and, therefore, will have the effect of a vote against the matter. Broker non-votes will be considered shares not present for this purpose and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Directions to withhold authority to vote for directors, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the Annual Meeting.
PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Nominees
At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will elect four (4) directors to serve one year terms or until their respective successors are elected and qualified.
In the event any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies may be voted for the balance of those nominees named and for any substitute nominee designated by the present Board or the proxy holders to fill such vacancy, or for the balance of the nominees named without nomination of a substitute, or the size of the Board may be reduced in accordance with the By-Laws of the Company. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the persons named below will be unable or unwilling to serve as a nominee or as a director if elected.
Assuming a quorum is present, the four nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of shares entitled to be voted for them will be elected as directors of the Company for the ensuing year. Unless marked otherwise, proxies received will be voted "FOR" the election of each of the four nominees named below. In the event that additional persons are nominated for election as directors, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in such a manner as will ensure the election of as many of the nominees listed below as possible, and, in such event, the specific nominees to be voted for will be determined by the proxy holders.

Holly A. Roseberry | 55 | Chief Executive Officer, President and Director | ||
Mehboob Charania | 51 | Director | ||

The following information with respect to the principal occupation or employment of each nominee for director, the principal business of the corporation or other organization in which such occupation or employment is carried on, and such nominee's business experience during the past five years, has been furnished to the Company by the respective director nominees:
HOLLY A. ROSEBERRY was appointed as our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer on February 20, 2002. On November 15, 2002, she resigned from these positions and was appointed as our president, chief executive officer and as a director. From 2001 to 2003, she acted as manager for the Azra Shopping Center. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from Sacred Heart University in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1973. Ms. Roseberry was employed from 1993 to 1996 as human resources manager, and from 1997 to 1999 as business office manager, of the Las Vegas location of Wards Department Store. Ms. Roseberry has held the positions of President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of our majority-owned subsidiary, Zingo, Inc. since August 30, 2005.
MEHBOOB CHARANIA has acted as our secretary since November 15, 2002. Since June 2001, Mr. Charania has been the owner and operator of Infusion Bistro, a restaurant located in Calgary, Alberta. From 1998 to 2001, he acted as a manager at IBM's Calgary office. Mr. Charania has held the position of Secretary and a Director of our majority-owned subsidiary, Zingo, Inc. since August 30, 2005.
BRIAN NEWMAN graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Calgary in 1978, and received a degree as a Chartered Accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Alberta in 1982.

Mr. Newman has served since September 2004 to the present as a director of Olympia Financial Group, and since September 2004 to the present has also served as a director of Albury Resources Ltd.

MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company held eight (8) meetings. No director nominated for election at the Annual Meeting attended fewer than 100% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors during the last fiscal year.
Our directors are elected by the stockholders and our officers are appointed by our board of directors. Our officers hold office until their successors are elected and qualified. Vacancies in our board are filled by the board itself.
We have an audit committee, of which Mr. Brian Newman is the sole member. We believe that Mr. Newman qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We do not have a nominating committee or a compensation committee, or a committee or committees performing the functions of such committees. Following the Annual Meeting, we intend to establish a nominating committee and a compensation committee, each composed of independent directors. There are no formal procedures for stockholders to nominate persons to serve as directors; however, the Board will consider nominations from stockholders, which should be addressed to Holly A. Roseberry, Chief Executive Officer, at the Company’s address set forth above.
Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors
Our stockholders may communicate with our Board of Directors by writing directly to the Board of Directors or to Holly A. Roseberry, Chief Executive Officer, at the Company’s address set forth above.
Our corporate officer will deliver stockholder communications to the Board of Directors.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors currently receive no compensation for meetings attended and are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board or any committee thereof they attend.
The proxy holders intend to vote the shares represented by proxies for all of the Board's nominees, except to the extent authority to vote for the nominees is withheld.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF ALL
NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

PROPOSAL NO. 2
APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF
THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $.001 PER SHARE, FROM
50,000,000 TO 250,000,000
The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a resolution unanimously approving and recommending to the Company's stockholders for their approval an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to provide for an increase of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 50,000,000 to 250,000,000.
The Board of Directors recommends the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to insure that a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares is available (i) for issuance as collateral security for loans made to us under the Wyndom Capital, Inc. Loan Agreement, for which 10,000,000 shares are requred; (ii) for the 2006 Restricted Stock Plan, pursuant to which 3,000,000 shares are reserved, availability of the full number of shares so reserved being subject to approval of this amendment; (iii) to raise additional capital for the operations of the Company; and (iv) to make options and shares available to employees, future non-employee directors and consultants of the Company as an incentive for services provided to the Company. Such shares would be available for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company without further action by the stockholders, unless required by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or by the laws of the State of Nevada. Neither the presently authorized shares of Common Stock nor the additional shares of Common Stock that may be authorized pursuant to the proposed amendment carry preemptive rights.
As of October 24, 2006, we had 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under our 2006 Restricted Stock Plan, and we are required to issue 10,000,000 shares to be held as collateral security in connection with the Wyndom Capital Loan Agreement. Therefore, with 39,500,511 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of October 24, 2007, we do not have an adequate number of shares available for issuance upon grant of future options or for other corporate purposes. Approval of this amendment will be necessary for us to be able to issue options for the full number of shares reserved under the 2006 Restricted Stock Plan. There are currently no set plans or arrangements relating to the possible issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock proposed to be authorized.
The additional shares of Common Stock, if issued, would have a dilutive effect upon the percentage of equity of the Company owned by present stockholders. The issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock might be disadvantageous to current stockholders in that any additional issuances would potentially reduce per share dividends, if any. Stockholders should consider, however, that the possible impact upon dividends is likely to be minimal in view of the fact that the Company has never paid dividends, has never adopted any policy with respect to the payment of dividends and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock, by reducing the percentage of equity of the Company owned by present stockholders, would reduce such present stockholders' ability to influence the election of directors or any other action taken by the holders of Common Stock.
If Proposal No. 2 is approved by the Company's stockholders, the Board of Directors expects to file a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable after the date of the Annual Meeting. The Certificate of Amendment would amend and restate paragraph (a) of Article III of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to read substantially as follows:
" Article III
(a) The corporation shall have authority to issue a total of Two Hundred Fifty-Five Million (255,000,000) shares, of which Two Hundred Fifty Million (250,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and Five Million (5,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock").”
The Company's authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, would remain unchanged by the proposed amendment.
Annexed to this Proxy Statement and marked Exhibit A is the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.
The vote required for approval of the Proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
DISSENTERS’ OR APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under Nevada law, our stockholders do not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to the approval of the Certificate of Amendment.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Mason Russell West LLC (now Haynie & Company, as a result of a November 1, 2007 merger of Mason Russell West LLC with Haynie & Company in which its name was changed to Haynie & Company), has served as the Company's independent auditors since our 2004 fiscal year and has been appointed by the Board to continue as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008. Haynie & Company has no interest, financial or otherwise, in the Company. A representative of Haynie & Company is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.
Audit Fees

Year ended July 31, 2006: $20,000
Year ended July 31, 2007: $26,500

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF 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 and, through our majority-owned subsidiary Zingo Inc., in providing telecommunications services through our VoIP system that utilizes the Internet. 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. License Agreements with RV Systems. To take the steps necessary to begin implementing our new business strategy, on June 27, 2003, we entered into a licensing agreement with NuAge Electric, Inc. ("NuAge"), which on October 21, 2003, was terminated. On that date, we signed a licensing and distribution agreement with RV Systems, Inc. ("RV Systems") to acquire the worldwide rights (with the exception of India for the two-and three-wheeled vehicle technology) to sell, distribute and/or manufacture specified products utilizing the portable power systems developed by RV System's affiliate, Lithium House, Inc. ("Lithium House"). We also entered into an agreement to retain the services of Mr. Chaz Haba, the founder of Lithium House, to provide technical advice to Hybrid Technologies' Board of Directors. Under the License Agreement, we paid license fees so to acquired the rights to utilize the lithium ion and lithium polymer battery packs, proprietary controllers and propulsion systems developed by Lithium House. On July 2, 2005, we notified RV Systems that it was in material default under the License Agreement. On October 25, 2005, we filed suit against Lithium House, RV Systems, Chaz Haba and related parties, in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, seeking recovery of amounts paid under the RV Systems License Agreement for failure of performance by RV Systems, and for other damages. On June 23, 2006 Hybrid, Lithium House, RV Systems and all related parties signed settlement documents. Hybrid has recovered its prototype vehicles and incurred no further expense related to this litigation or the licensing agreement. 1 Recent Developments Acquisition and Subsequent Disposition of Telecommunications Subsidiary. On November 24, 2004 we formed WhistlerTel, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada, and on December 3, 2004 we purchased (through this subsidiary) the assets of Tradewinds Telecom LLC, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Tradewinds Telecom was operated as WhistlerTel Inc through this wholly-owned subsidiary. The strategic initial objective of our telecommunications operations is to develop a superior multilevel platform that provides highly reliable and advanced VoIP telecommunications services. On August 18, 2005, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement"), with Javakingcoffee, Inc., a Nevada corporation, changing the name to Zingo, Inc. and on August 19, 2005, selling all of the outstanding shares of Whistlertel to Zingo, and received in exchange 80,000,000 shares of Zingo's common stock, or 69.56% of Zingo's outstanding common stock. Effective August 30, 2005, Holly A. Roseberry and Mehboob Charania, who are two of our directors, were appointed to constitute the new Board of Directors of Zingo. On August 30, 2005, Zingo's Board of Directors appointed Holly Roseberry as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mehboob Charania as Treasurer and Secretary, of the Company. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of July 31, 2007, we had cash on hand of $3,775. At that same date our liabilities totaled $1,537,496. During the period since inception on April 12, 2000 to July 31, 2007, we had incurred operating losses totaling $44,527,591. On July 31, 2007, we had a working capital surplus of $577,244 and a stockholders' deficit of $1,984,776. We had 39,500,511 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of October 24, 2007. Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Board of Directors of Hybrid has approved and issued the following stock dividends: February 28, 2005, 10%; June 17, 2005, 5%; September 2, 2005, 5%; November 30, 2005, 5%; February 28, 2006, 10%; March 31, 2006, 5%; May 31, 2006, 5%; November 30, 2006, 10%; January 31, 2007, 5%; March 30, 2007, 5%; and May 31, 2007, 10%. 2 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 or sales of our products, and have not signed any definitive joint venture agreements to commercialize any of our products. As of July 31, 2007, our liabilities totaled $1,537,496. During the period since our inception on April 12, 2000 to July 31, 2007, we have incurred operating losses totaling $44,527,591. On July 31, 2007, we had a stockholders' deficit of $1,984,776. 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 Althought we have recently arranged a debt financing, we will need to obtain additional financing to complete our business plan. Market factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. WE HAVE BEEN 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. Electric Vehicles WE ARE SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE RISKS OF A NEW BUSINESS Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we face a potentially higher risk of business failure. We have not earned any significant revenues as of the date of this report. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the commercialization of our products. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to product development, arranging and negotiating with joint venture partners, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We have no 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. Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future 3 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 developmental products, are highly regulated. There are special safety standards in effect for vehicles with a top speed of up to 25 miles per hour. If we market vehicles that will compete with passenger cars, such vehicles would be subject to the full federal safety standards. Otherwise, regulatory review and compliance may consume significant time and resources and adversely affect the timing of our 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. We will have to develop battery management systems that eliminate the risk of fire from 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. Telecommunications WE MAY NOT SUCCESSFULLY ENHANCE EXISTING OR DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN A COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER TO MEET CUSTOMER DEMAND IN THE RAPIDLY EVOLVING MARKET FOR INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES. The market for Internet and telecommunications services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs and frequent new service and product introductions. We are currently focused on developing and evaluating technologies and applications associated with VoIP services. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to use leading technologies effectively, to continue to develop our technical expertise, to enhance our existing services and to develop new services that meet changing customer needs on a timely and cost-effective basis. We may not be able to adapt quickly enough to changing technology, customer requirements and industry standards. If we fail to use new technologies effectively, to develop our technical expertise and new services or to enhance existing services on a timely basis, either internally or through arrangements with third parties, our product and service offerings may fail to meet customer needs which would adversely affect our revenues. 4 OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE OFFERINGS MAY FAIL TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH EXISTING AND NEW COMPETITORS. We operate in the Internet services market, which is extremely competitive. Current and prospective competitors include many large companies that have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have. Competition is likely to continue increasing, particularly as large diversified telecommunications companies continue to provide VoIP services. Because we operate in a highly competitive environment, the number of subscribers we are able to add may decline, the cost of acquiring new customers through our own sales and marketing efforts may increase, and/or the number of customers who discontinue the use of our service (churn) may increase. SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS OR IMPEDIMENTS COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. The networks of our third-party providers are vulnerable to damaging software programs, such as computer viruses and worms. Certain of these programs have disabled the ability of computers to access the Internet, requiring users to obtain technical support in order to gain access to the Internet. Other programs have had the potential to damage or delete computer programs. The development and widespread dissemination of harmful programs has the potential to seriously disrupt Internet usage. If Internet usage is significantly disrupted for an extended period of time, or if the prevalence of these programs results in decreased residential Internet usage, our business could be materially and adversely impacted. OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED BY SECURITY BREACHES. We depend on the security of our third-party telecommunications service providers. Unauthorized or inappropriate access to, or use of, these networks could potentially jeopardize the security of confidential information of our customers and of third parties. Users or third parties may assert claims of liability against us as a result of any failure by us to prevent these activities. Although we use security measures, there can be no assurance that the measures we take will be successfully implemented or will be effective in preventing these activities. Further, the security measures of our third-party network providers may be inadequate. These activities may subject us to legal claims, may adversely impact our reputation, and may interfere with our ability to provide our services, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations. NATURAL DISASTER OR OTHER CATASTROPHIC EVENT. Our operations and services depend on the extent to which our computer equipment and the computer equipment of our third-party network providers are protected against damage from fire, flood, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, acts of war or terrorism and similar events. Interruptions in our services could have a material adverse effect on our ability to provide VoIP services to our customers and, in turn, on our business, financial condition and results of operations. NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE. We may experience increases in our telecommunications usage that exceed our available telecommunications capacity. As a result, users may be unable to register or log on to use our services, may experience a general slow-down in their Internet connection or may be disconnected from their sessions. Inaccessibility, interruptions or other limitations on the ability of customers to access our services due to excessive user demand, or any failure of our network to handle user traffic, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation. 5 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS COULD FORCE US TO CHANGE OUR BUSINESS PRACTICES. Changes in the regulatory environment regarding the Internet could cause our revenues to decrease and/or our costs to increase. The FCC, however, is examining voice services (such as VoIP). As a result, we could become subject to FCC and state regulation. The tax treatment of activities on or relating to the Internet is currently unsettled. A number of proposals have been made at the federal, state and local levels and by foreign governments that could impose taxes on the online sale of goods and services and other Internet activities. Future federal and state laws imposing taxes on the provision of goods and services over the Internet could make it substantially more expensive to operate our business. General - -------- We are a development stage technology company. We are developing and plan to market electric powered vehicles and products. Through a majority-owned subsidiary, we provide highly reliable and advanced telecommunications services via VoIP system that utilizes the Internet. Our telecommunications operations are held in Zingo Inc., a publicly-traded company, in which we hold an approximate 69% equity interest. Our Electric Battery Pack and Vehicle Technology - ------------------------------------------------ After the termination of all licensing relationships with RV Systems and Lithium House, 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 plan, once development is completed, to market our own brand of portable battery power pack systems. We also plan to complete conversions of four-, three- and two-wheel vehicles, and to further develop the resulting prototypes for limited commercial production, beginning in 2007. In our Mooresville, North Carolina, facility we are in the process of Converting and nearing final testing on Chrysler PT Cruisers, Mini Coopers, a Chrysler Crossfire and Mercedes' Smart cars. We replace gasoline power systems with all electric power systems, some including installed solar cells, and battery management systems. We are also converting some large and small ATV's, electric bicycles and electric scooters. We have 85 electric scooters in inventory that are partially converted. We have begun conversions on 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. 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. 6 We are working with Kokam (South Korea), other battery suppliers and several independent engineers to develop the best battery management systems. Our system interconnects small battery cells with each other optimizing battery cell balancing in terms of voltage output. In addition, our CAM bus system allows monitoring of multiple interconnected batteries without separate wiring for each battery cell. Our battery packs can be produced in a wide variety of sizes, capacities and voltages as required by the particular product application. We use individual lithium polymer cells that have 4.2 volts DC and 100AH each and are connected in such a manner (in parallel and series) to provide up to 336 volts DC and 30 KW (thus a battery pack can contain up to 160 individual cells) depending on the performance required. The battery pack may contain many "packs" of the cells each in a ABS protection shell for protection against abrasion and moisture and will have a separate thermal cut off circuit to prevent over heating and control circuits that will monitor the voltage during discharge and charging to ensure that the pack does not go below a minimum voltage or above a maximum. Electric Motors We are using a variety of electric motors in our prototypes. 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. 7 R Car The Chrysler Crossfire - R-Car - is being re-done to use our new technology and battery management systems. This car would carry four passengers and reach speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, with a range of approximately 200 miles. The R Car is subject to Federal approvals in effect for passenger cars, including safety standards. 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. 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 Cruser 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. 8 China We are converting two wheel bicycles using Geely Corporation frames and will discuss manufacturing these bicycles with Geely Corporation. Solar House We are also constructing 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 to provide 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. Our Telecommunications Operations - --------------------------------- Through our subsidiary, Zingo, Inc., of which we own approximately 69% of the outstanding common stock, we offer telecommunications services to business and residential customers utilizing VoIP technology. The strategic initial objective of our telecommunications operations is to develop a superior multilevel platform that provides highly reliable and advanced telecommunications services. We plan to focus our efforts in many parts of the globe where the area is equipped with broadband access for Internet services. The VoIP system is developed to work via the Internet thus allowing those destinations to have access to a highly advanced telephone system. The immediate focus is Canada, Central, Latin America, Europe and developed countries in Asia. We have approximately 4,000 customers. We are marketing our operations both on the Internet and by print advertising, reaching out to international markets. Our success will depend on our ability to anticipate and respond to various factors affecting the industry, including new technologies, changes in customer preferences, regulatory changes, demographic trends, economic conditions, and pricing strategies of competitors. Our VoIP Technology VoIP uses a standard Internet connection to place phone calls, bypassing the telephone company network entirely. Major carriers like AT&T are already setting up VoIP calling plans in several markets around the United States, and the FCC is looking seriously at the potential ramifications of VoIP service. In contrast to circuit switching that has been used by telephone networks for more than 100 years, data networks simply send and retrieve data as needed. And, instead of routing the data over a dedicated line, the data packets flow through a network along thousands of possible paths. This is called packet switching, where the sending computer chops data into small packets, with an address on each one telling the network devices where to send them, then sending the packet to a nearby router, which forwards the packet to another router that is closer to the recipient computer, and so on. When the receiving computer finally gets the packets (which may have all taken completely different paths to get there), it uses instructions contained within the packets to reassemble the data into its original state. Packet switching allows several telephone calls to occupy the amount of space occupied by only one in a circuit-switched network. 9 Reliability or compatibility issues with VoIP include: dependency on wall electric power; home systems that may be integrated into the phone line such as Digital video recorders, digital subscription TV services and home security systems using a standard phone line to operate do not operate or integrate with VoIP. For emergency 911 calls there is no way to associate a geographic location with an IP address unless it has been registered. Because VoIP uses an Internet connection, it is susceptible to all the problems normally associated with home broadband services. These factors will affect call quality: latency, jitter, packet loss. Phone conversations can become distorted, garbled or lost because of transmission errors. VoIP is susceptible to worms, viruses and hacking. Some experts predict that within a short period of time that "spam over Internet technology" will be used to produce a large numbers of bogus calls and messages, and that phone connections could be used to steal identities, alter messages or crash computers. All phone calls are subject to the limitations of normal computer issues. We sell an analog telephone adaptor (ATA) that allows the user to connect a standard phone to his Internet connection for use with VoIP. The ATA is an analog-to-digital converter. It takes the analog signal from a traditional phone and converts it into digital data for transmission over the Internet. We also sell IP Phones. These specialized phones look just like normal phones with a handset, cradle and buttons but instead of having the standard phone connectors, IP phones have an ethernet connector. IP phones connect directly to a router and have all the hardware and software necessary to handle the IP call. When a call is placed using VoIP, a request is sent to the soft switch asking which endpoint is associated with the dialed phone number and what that endpoint's current IP address is. Once the IP address is found, an exchange of data between the two endpoints can take place. We use the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), developed specifically for VoIP applications, for this communication. We offer monthly rate plans structured like cell phone plans for $14.95 per month for home use. On the business end, we offer unlimited plans for $49.95. Our VoIP plans include: Caller ID Call waiting Call transfer Repeat dial Return call Three-way calling There are also advanced call-filtering options available. These features use caller ID information to allow the user make a choice about how calls from a particular number are handled. The user can: forward the call to a particular number; send the call directly to voicemail; or give the caller a busy signal. With our VoIP service, the user can specify a stutter dial tone and can also check voicemail via the Web or have .WAV file messages attached to an e-mail sent to his computer or handheld. 10 Regulatory Matters Internet-related regulatory policies are continuing to develop. For example, the FCC could subject certain services offered by ISPs to regulation as telecommunications services. Among other things, the FCC could decide to regulate voice services provided over the Internet, such as VoIP, as "telecommunications" or a "telecommunications service" even though Internet access itself might not be regulated. Such a decision could result in our being subject to universal service fees, access fees and other fees imposed on regulated telecommunications providers as well as heightened costs of regulatory compliance. We could be adversely affected by any regulatory change that would result in the imposition of access charges on ISPs because this would substantially increase the cost of using the Internet. State public utility commissions generally have declined to regulate enhanced or information services. However, some state commissions continue to review potential regulation of these services. There can be no assurance that state regulatory authorities will not seek to regulate aspects of these activities as telecommunications services. In June 2006, the FCC ruled that internet phone service companies must begin paying a percentage of their revenue to a federal program to subsidize telephone service for rural and low-income customers. Internet Taxation The Internet Tax Non-Discrimination Act, which was passed by Congress in November 2004 and signed into law in December 2004, renewed and extended until November 2007 a moratorium on taxes on Internet access and multiple, discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce. This moratorium had previously expired in November 2003. As with the preceding Internet Tax Freedom Act, "grandfathered" states which taxed Internet access prior to October 1998 may continue to do so. Certain states have enacted various taxes on Internet access and/or electronic commerce, and selected states' taxes are being contested on a variety of bases. However, state tax laws may not be successfully contested, and future state and federal laws imposing taxes or other regulations on Internet access and electronic commerce may arise, any of which could increase the cost of providing Internet services and could materially adversely affect our business. Competition - ----------- The discussion below identifies some of our principal competitors in the electric vehicle and bicycle areas. Daimler Chrysler AG's Global Electric Motorcars LLC sells GEM electric vehicles with varying passenger capacities. Miles Automotive Group Ltd., Malibu, California, has commenced sales of its two-passenger model manufactured in China with a top speed of 25 miles per hour, and a range of up to 40 miles between charges.

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. 15 ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION 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, 2007 We incurred a net loss of $10,619,757 the year ended July 31, 2007, and of approximately $13,126,909 for the year ended July 31, 2006, including $7,577,275 in stock based compensation in the year ended July 31, 2006, relating to our grant of stock options to consultants during the year, and in the year ended July 31, 2006, general and administrative costs of $11,440,129, and interest expense of $102,082. Our net loss for the year ended July 31, 2007 decreased from the comparative period in fiscal 2006 (from $13,126,909 in 2006 to approximately $10,619,757 in 2007). This was primarily due to decrease in general and administrative costs from $11,440,129 in 2006, as compared with approximately $9,285,181 in 2007. We had reduced interest expense in the twelve months ended July 31, 2007 of $86,292, as compared with approximately $102,082 in the comparable period in 2006. PLAN OF OPERATION During the period since inception on April 12, 2000 to July 31, 2007, we have incurred operating losses aggregating $44,527,591. At July 31, 2007, we had a working capital surplus of $577,244 and a stockholders' deficit of $1,984,776. 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. As of July 31, 2007, we had cash on hand of $3,775. Our liabilities at the same date totaled $1,537,496. We do not have sufficient cash on hand or financing in place to complete commercialization of our planned products. Electric Vehicles We have terminated the License Agreement with RV Systems. 16 We are converting vehicles in our own facility in Mooresville, North Carolina. We have a team of highly qualified Engineers who oversee groups of electrical and mechanical staff. With the purchase of our new facility and the renovations to the building we are able to work on many projects and vehicles concurrently. The 40,000 square foot facility has room for both conversions and storage with the potential for future growth. 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 constructing 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. In September 2007, we signed a contract to provide a PT Cruiser to Arcadis, a contractor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Administration. For a discussion of our commercial initiatives, please refer to "Current Joint Venture Negotiations in Progress" above under "Item 1. Description of Business". Telecommunications Services We offer telecommunications services to business and residential customers utilizing VoIP technology. The strategic initial objective of our telecommunications operations is to develop a superior multilevel platform that provides highly reliable and advanced telecommunications services. Our telecommunications operations are conducted through our subsidiary, Zingo, Inc., of which we own approximately 69% of the outstanding common stock. We plan to focus our efforts in many parts of the globe where the area is equipped broadband access for Internet services. The VoIP system is developed to work via the Internet thus allowing those destinations to have access to a highly advanced telephone system. The immediate focus is Canada, Central and Latin America, Europe and developed countries in Asia. 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. On February 24, 2004, we announced receipt of $1 million dollars of a $3 million dollar non-recourse loan to be collateralized by stock. On April 14, 2004, we drew down an additional $1,000,000 on this loan, and on April 22,2004, we drew down the final $1,000,000 of the loan. The lender was Sterling Capital, Inc., and the loan was collateralized by 9,000,000 shares of restricted common stock (split adjusted), which shares, together with shares issuable by reason of stock splits and dividends, totaling 12,732,500 shares, were issued to Sterling Capital at the maturity of the loan, since the recourse of Sterling Capital in the event of nonpayment of the loan at maturity was solely to the shares held in escrow as collateral. 17 We have raised equity capital through issuances of common stock and debt. During the twelve months ended July 31, 2007, we received proceeds of $5,076,500 from the exercise of stock options. At July 31, 2007, we had $3,775 cash on hand. Our ability to raise additional capital is affected by trends and uncertainties beyond our control. On October 29, 2007, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Wyndom Capital Investments, Inc. (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 on 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. Our current operating funds and financing facility 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. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing other than the Wyndom Capital loan agreement, which may not furnish us with all of the capital that we require, and we may not be able to find additional 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. 18 ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 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. /s/ Haynie & Company Littleton, CO November 13, 2007 19 HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

A Development Stage Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 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. Nature of operations and organization Hybrid Technologies, Inc., Inc. (formerly Whistler Investments, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, April 12, 2000. The 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. Additionally, one of the Company's subsidiaries is pursuing the sale and installation of internet based telecommunications. At July 31, 2007 the Company deems itself a development stage company as planned principal operations have not commenced in its primary line of business. To date revenues generated are primarily related to the telecommunications operations. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements included the accounts and records of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Zingo, Inc., Global Hybrid Corp., R.-Electric Car, Co., Solium Power Corp. and Hybrid Technologies USA Distributing Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company does not have any special purpose entities. The following is a listing of the Company's subsidiaries and its ownership interests Zingo, Inc. (consolidated) 69.60% Global Electric, Corp. (consolidated) 67.57% R Electric Car, Co. 67.57% Solium Power, Corp 67.57% Hybrid Technologies Distributing Inc. 100.00% 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. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash with original maturities of three months or less. 24 HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC. A Development Stage Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 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. Licensing fees Licensing fees related to Product Licensing Agreements were expensed as incurred. 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. 2007 2006 ------------------------- Raw materials and work in progress $323,170 $234,785 Finished goods 102,605 48,184 ------------------------- $425,775 $282,969 ========================= Raw materials and work in progress is related to the Company's planned sales of electric powered products. Finished goods relate to its telecommunication operations. Property and equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment are accounted for by accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives Lives Methods ------------------------------ Building improvements 39 years Straight line Furniture and fixtures 10 years Accelerated Software 3-5 years Straight line Computers 5 years Straight line Stock based compensation We issue stock options to our employees and other certain service providers under stockholder approved stock option programs that provide the right to purchase our stock pursuant to stock purchase programs. See note 9 for further disclosures and discussions. Revenue Recognition Service revenues are recognized at the time that service is completed. Product sales are recorded when title has passed to the customer. 25 HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC. A Development Stage Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued Shipping & Handling Shipping & handling costs related to services and product sales are expensed as cost of sales. Advertising Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Total advertising expenditures for the years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 and inception to July 31, 2007 date amounted to approximately $282,000, $350,000 and $1,023,000, respectively. Research and development costs Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. 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. As of July 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had $0 and$391,602, respectively, in excess of the federally insured limits. One of the Company's subsidiaries obtains a majority of its operational supplies from a single vendor. As a result of this concentration, events that may affect the future ability to purchase from this supplier may cause a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to deliver goods and services in this line of business. Income taxes The Company records Income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 109 also requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss carry forwards and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are then reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits which, more likely than not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. As a result, no tax benefit is reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. Should the Company achieve sufficient, sustained income in the future, management may conclude that some or all of the valuation allowance should be reversed (Note 13). Comprehensive income (loss) The Company reports comprehensive loss in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130. For the year ended July 31, 2007, the difference between net loss and comprehensive loss is foreign currency translation. For the year ended December 31, 2006 there is no difference between net loss and comprehensive loss. 26 HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC. A Development Stage Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued 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. Research and development costs Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Foreign currency translation The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, (SFAS 52), "Foreign Currency Translation". Foreign denominated monetary assets are translated to United States dollars using foreign exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates except for items carried at market value which are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Gains or losses arising on foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of operating results for the period. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications have had no impact on the net equity or income (loss) from operations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 are currently evaluating the impact that FIN 48 will have 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 27 HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC. A Development Stage Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost. We do not expect the implementation of this will have a significant impact on our financial statements. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" (SAB 108), which addresses how to quantify the effect of financial statement errors. The provisions of SAB 108 become effective as of the end of our 2007 fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to 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. Note 2. Going concern The Company's financial statements are prepared based on the going concern principle. That principle anticipates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities through the ordinary course of business. No adjustments have been made to reduce the value of any assets or record additional liabilities, if any, if the Company were to cease to exist. The Company's ability to remain a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital as required and the forbearance of the Company's creditors. There are no guarantees that the Company will be able to meet its capital needs until as such time as a viable business is established. Additionally, the lack of capital may limit the Company's ability to establish a viable business. Note 3. Business combination Effective December 3, 2004, Whistler Tel, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired the assets of Trade Winds Telecom, LLC (Trade Winds) a company owned indirectly by a shareholder of the Company for a cash payment of $20,175 and a note in the amount of $80,000 due in December 2005. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. Due to the relationship, the assets were recorded at their historical cost basis. The purchase price in excess of the cost bases of the assets, approximately $55,000, was charged against additional paid in capital. Trade Winds was organized in 2003 and was engaged in selling internet based voice communication products and services to international customers. Trade Winds had no operations prior to January 31, 2004. Accordingly, the following unaudited pro-forma summary statement of operations gives effect to the transaction as if Trade Winds had been part of the consolidated group for the year ended January 31, 2004. 28 HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

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-based compensation for the year ended July 31, 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. 31 HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

A Development Stage Company Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 10. Contingencies - continued Legal Contingencies The Company is currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings. Quarterly, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure and if the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Letter of credit The Company through its subsidiary has obtained a letter of credit in the amount of $40,000 from a financial institution to guarantee certain creditors payments. The financial institution has required the Company maintain deposits totaling $41,215 be kept on deposit as collateral for the letter of credit and related fee. This restricted cash is included in other assets. Note 11. (Loss) per share The Company accounts for income (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128) "Earning per Share". SFAS requires the presentation of both basic and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options. The treasury method is used for computing Diluted EPS, and the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of net shares to be purchased from options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Basic EPS equals diluted EPS due to all potential shares being anti-dilutive. Note 12. Income taxes The Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $17,000,000 and $12,100,000 as a result of the net operating losses incurred through July 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance in an equal amount due to the uncertainty as to whether the net operating losses will be utilized. The statutory tax rate and effective tax rate both equal 35%. Under current tax laws, the operating losses incurred by the Company will begin to expire in 2022. 34 HYBRID TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
