 Pioneer Power Solutions (OTC BB:PPSI)

Sunday, February 28, 2010

On November 30, 2009 Sierra Concepts, Inc. (“Sierra”), a Nevada corporation, was merged with and into Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pioneer Power”), for the purpose of changing its state of incorporation to Delaware from Nevada and changing its name, in each case pursuant to a Certificate of Ownership and Merger and Articles of Merger, each dated November 30, 2009 and approved by stockholders on November 30, 2009.

Demand for our electrical power and distribution transformers results primarily from spending by electric utilities for replacements, expansions and efficiency improvements. Demand is also sensitive to overall economic conditions, particularly with respect to the level of industrial production and investment in commercial and residential construction. Other market factors include voltage conversion, voltage unit upgrades, electrical equipment failures, higher energy costs and stricter environmental regulations.

We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of the transformer industry and the markets for our products. Our operating results could also be impacted by a weakening of the Canadian dollar, changing customer requirements and exposure to fluctuations in prices of important raw supplies, such as copper, steel and aluminum. We attempt to minimize these increases through the inclusion of escalation clauses with respect to commodities in our customer contracts. In addition to these measures, we attempt to recover other cost increases through improvements to our manufacturing efficiency and through increases in prices where competitively feasible. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand. We predominately sell to customers in the utility market. Accordingly, changes in the condition of any of our customers may have a greater impact than if our sales were more evenly distributed between different end markets.
