Business OverviewPrevailing Energy, Inc. ("PEI") is an innovative

renewable energy technology company that is currently developing and commercializing the world's first economically viable and scalable Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Generator ("VAWTG") electricity generation system.

Benefits of VAWTG Technology:energy bill reducinglow-costreliableeasily scalablenon-pollutingaesthetically pleasingsilent & safe renewable energy

Industry OverviewThe rapidly growing small wind generated electrical market is currently served by the traditional prop-driven, Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Generators (HATGs). As the market grows it has great potential to overtake other energy markets.

Industry OverviewThe state residential small wind incentives have grown over the past years

Page 6: Prevailing Energy Investor Presentation 3 6909

Noisy Propeller driven turbines

City zoning height requirements

ROI is very long, 8 to 15 years or more

Priced at $12,000 to $30,000 per HATG

High wind speeds of 12 MPH required

Turbines kill a number of birds & bats each year

High maintenance costs due to system’s complexity:

components to control blade pitch

brushes, belts, gears

cut-in and cut-out speed control mechanisms

special machinery to stay pointed into the wind.

Not scalable:

New systems needed to meet future growth demands

Current ChallengesThe traditional prop-driven, Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Generator (HATG) suffers from numerous growth barriers.

Problems with this technology:

Turbines can only operate at 50-100 ft.

Page 7: Prevailing Energy Investor Presentation 3 6909

Runs silent – ideal for any urban setting

Zoning requirements: operates at 30 ft high or lower

Short ROI: 0-5 yrs. depending on wind speeds & rebates

Price ≤ $5,000 and many state rebates will pay total cost

Operates at wind speed ranging from 2 - 150 mph Safer for birds and bats; blades are visible at all

times Low maintenance costs due to system’s simplicity

PEI systems scale from 1kw to 1Mw cost-effectively

PEI SolutionThe new place-anywhere, Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Generators (VAWTGs) eliminate growth barriers and open up energy & cost saving opportunities.

Solutions found in our technology:

Turbines can operate at 30 ft.or lower.

PEI Solution

SolarWorks great with existing solar systems. When the sun is shining, solar power systems are working; when its cloudy and at night, wind power systems are working.

Patent Details The VAWTG is based on proprietary air-foil/winged shaped blades made of

composite materials and special type of Permanent Magnet Generators designed and invented by Mr. Larry Frew.

A Patent Application has been filed by PEI, Application No. US-2007/0126406 A1, covering all the innovative features incorporated by Mr. Frew into the VAWTG.

The VAWTG, with its configuration of omni-directional blades, can easily convert the entropic wind energy into highly stable, grid-quality electrical power.

PEI will control the IP for VAWTG technology in 52 countries world wide.

Proprietary system designs and embedded firmware are key barriers to entry.

Multiple patents are pending and being pursued on specific hardware and overall system components.

PEI Advantage – First Mover

Market OpportunityClients

California test market Residential property Commercial facilities Dealer network

RevenueAfter commencing production, management estimates first

year revenue at $6,250,000.00 million (1,000 units at an average price of $6,250.00)

Year two revenues estimated at $31,250,000.00 millionProfitability

At a volume of 5,000 units, per unit price is estimated at $6,250

With an increase to 10,000 units, the piece price falls to $5,000
