DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We are principally devoted to designing, developing and marketing advanced lighting systems that utilize white (and other) light emitting diodes as illumination elements.
We are developing and marketing new product applications of solid-state diodal illumination (TM) that demonstrate added value over traditional lighting systems. Using proprietary technology, we are creating a family of products including portable illumination systems for military and Homeland Security, retail products, commercial task and accent lighting, emergency and security lighting. We believe our solid-state lighting technology offers extended light life, greater energy efficiency and greater overall cost effectiveness than other existing forms of illumination. Our business model is to address the large lighting industry market segments with solid-state lighting products and technologies, including our proprietary hybrid lighting technology, that includes military and Homeland Security applications, direct and indirect task and accent lighting applications, indoor/outdoor downlighting applications, commercial and residential lighting applications..
For the military and Homeland Security portable illumination products, our target markets include all branches of the military and all government organizations providing homeland security services, such as border control and airport security. For our retail products, our target customers include the home improvement and consumer goods retailers and name-brand companies that we would supply products to as the original equipment manufacturer.
REGULATION
Our advertising and sales practices concerning our products are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and state consumer protection laws. Such regulations include restrictions on the manner that we promote the sale of our products. We believe we are in material compliance with such regulations. We believe that we will be able to comply in all material respects with laws and regulations governing the conduct of business operations in general. We are not aware of any pending government regulations that may adversely affect our business.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
We anticipate continuing to incur research and development expenditures in connection with the development of our portable illumination system and new 2009 commercial product lines during the next twelve months. In addition, we will continue to incur research and development expenditures in connection with the commercialization of our Hybrid Lighting Technology.
These projected expenditures are dependent upon our generating revenues and obtaining sources of financing in excess of our existing capital resources. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the projected costs of research and development during the next twelve months.
Employees
We currently have 13 full time employees and eight firms acting as sales and business development agents. Our employees are primarily at the executive level based upon our role in coordination of outsource contracts for manufacturing and other production considerations. Currently, there exist no organized labor agreements or union agreements between us and our employees. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as disclosed below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
On April 16, 2007, Casey Tool and Machine Co. filed a complaint against us in the Circuit Court for the Fourth Judical District, Shelbyville, Illinois, alleging breach of contract for failure to pay $14,222 on an account payable. We intend to resolve this matter in a judicious manner.
On September 5, 2007, we announced that we had commenced an action against AJW Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, LTD., AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, and New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, (the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1934, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and conversion. The complaint alleges that the Defendants utilized an illegal trading scheme involving deceptive secured loan financings to convert shares of Company’s common stock for the Defendants’ own use and benefit. The trading scheme involved the Defendants manipulating the Company’s stock price downward by short sales. In addition the complaint seeks declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief. On September 17, 2007, AJW Partners, LLC, AJW Offshore, LTD., AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC and AJW Master Fund, LTD, filed and action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York alleging breach of contract. On September 26, 2007, we removed the state law complaint to federal court to join the federal court complaint. On March 17, 2008, the federal court having determined that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the state court complaint, remanded the case back to state court. On May 1, 2008, we filed our answer and affirmative and separate defenses and our counterclaims for declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief. This litigation is currently in the discovery phase.
On September 13, 2007, Britannia Law Office commenced an action against us and our President, Mark D. Schmidt, in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, Durham County. North Carolina, alleging breach of contract, additional payments due under contract, unjust enrichment, fraud and unfair trade practices arising out of a consultant agreement. Plaintiff seeks compensation pursuant to a consulting agreement of $30,000 and the issuance of five million shares of the Company’s common stock. These motions are currently pending. On March 12, 2009, the parties executed a mutual settlement and release agreement.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "CYBL".
For the periods indicated, the following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of common stock. These prices represent inter-dealer quotations without retail markup, markdown, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
(1) As of May 14, 2009
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 1,450,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001. As of May 15, 2009, there were 999,955,532 shares of common stock outstanding. Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. Upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities and liquidation preference of any outstanding common stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, the designation and rights of which are to be determined by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action by the shareholders, to issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, and other rights of such series. We consider it desirable to have preferred stock available to provide increased flexibility in structuring possible future acquisitions and financing and in meeting corporate needs which may arise. If opportunities arise that would make desirable the issuance of preferred stock through either public offering or private placements, the provisions for preferred stock in our Articles of Incorporation would avoid the possible delay and expense of a shareholder's meeting, except as may be required by law or regulatory authorities. Issuance of the preferred stock could result, however, in a series of securities outstanding that will have certain preferences with respect to dividends and liquidation over the common stock which would result in dilution of the income per share and net book value of the common stock.
Issuance of additional common stock pursuant to any conversion right which may be attached to the terms of any series of preferred stock may also result in dilution of the net income per share and the net book value of the common stock. The specific terms of any series of preferred stock will depend primarily on market conditions, terms of a proposed acquisition or financing, and other factors existing at the time of issuance. Our Board of Directors may issue additional preferred stock in future financing, but has no current plans to do so at this time. The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock.
As of May 15, 2009, we had 26.9806 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share is convertible into 50,000 shares of common stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred have the following designations and rights:

12% per annum. The dividend shall be payable semi-annually in cash or common stock at our option.

Stated Value:
$5,000 per share
Mandatory Conversion:

Limitations on Conversion.
Each holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred shares shall not convert the shares into common stock such that the number of shares of common stock issued after the conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by such holder at such time, in excess of 4.99% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
No Voting Rights.
The holders of the Series A convertible shares have no voting rights until their shares are converted to common shares.
The Board of Directors, pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, authorized Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which was issued to officers and directors in order to convert accrued management fees and other liabilities into4,650,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has the following designations and rights:
Term:
Perpetual Preferred

12% per annum
Conversion:
Each share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted to 10 shares of our common stock at the option of the bearer.

The conversion price is $0.10 per share.
Series C - Convertible Preferred stock
On November 13, 2006, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation creating a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock classification for 100,000 shares. Subsequently amended on January 11, 2007 to 700,000 shares. There are currently 150,000 Series C Convertible Preferred shares outstanding.

To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with four accredited investors on December 20, 2006, for the sale of (i) $600,000 in secured convertible notes, and (ii) warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of our common stock.
The notes bear interest at 6%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the investors' option, at the lower of:
·
$0.06; or
·
40% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date.
We have a call option under the terms of the secured convertible notes. The call option provides us with the right to prepay all of the outstanding secured convertible notes at any time, provided we are not in default and our stock is trading at or below $.13 per share. Prepayment of the notes is to be made in cash equal to either (i) 125% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring within 30 days following the issue date of the secured convertible notes; (ii) 135% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring between 31 and 60 days following the issue date of the secured convertible notes; and (iii) 150% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for prepayments occurring after the 60th day following the issue date of the secured convertible notes.
Our right to repay the notes is exercisable on not less than ten trading days prior written notice to the holders of the secured convertible notes. For notice purposes, a trading day is any day on which our common stock is traded for any period on the OTC Bulletin Board. Notwithstanding the notice of prepayment, the holders of the secured convertible notes have the right at all times to convert all or any portion of the secured convertible notes prior to payment of the prepayment amount.
We also have a partial call option under the terms of the secured convertible notes in any month in which the current price of our common stock is below $0.13. Under the terms of the partial call option, we have the right to pay the outstanding principal amount of the secured convertible notes plus one-month's interest for that month, which will stay any conversions of the secured convertible notes by the holders for that month. The principal amount of the secured convertible notes to be repaid is determined by dividing the then outstanding principal amount of the notes by the maturity of the notes in months, or 36.
The full principal amount of the secured convertible notes are due upon default under the terms of secured convertible notes. The warrants are exercisable until seven years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.10 per share. In addition, we have granted the investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property and registration rights. No dividend can be issued while the notes are in effect.
APRIL 2007 SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with four accredited investors on April 18, 2007, for the sale of (i) $400,000 in secured convertible notes, and (ii) warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. The investors purchased all of the secured convertible notes on April 18, 2007.
The proceeds received from the sale of the secured convertible notes were used for business development purposes, working capital needs, pre-payment of interest, payment of consulting and legal fees and purchasing inventory.
The secured convertible notes bear interest at 8%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the investors' option, at the lower of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date. The full principal amount of the secured convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of secured convertible notes. The warrants are exercisable until seven years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.02 per share. In addition, the conversion price of the secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event that we issue common stock at a price below the fixed conversion price, below market price, with the exception of any securities issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The conversion price of the secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the selling stockholder’s position. As of the date of this filing, the conversion price for the secured convertible debentures and the exercise price of the warrants have not been adjusted. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, we have granted the investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property and registration rights. No dividend can be issued while the notes are in effect.
MAY 2007 SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with four accredited investors on May 1, 2007, for the sale of (i) $150,000 in secured convertible notes, and (ii) warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. The investors purchased all of the secured convertible notes on May 1, 2007.
The proceeds received from the sale of the secured convertible notes were used for business development purposes, working capital needs, pre-payment of interest, payment of consulting and legal fees and purchasing inventory.
The secured convertible notes bear interest at 8%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the investors' option, at the lower of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 25% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the 20 trading days before but not including the conversion date. The full principal amount of the secured convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of secured convertible notes. The warrants are exercisable until seven years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.02 per share. In addition, the conversion price of the secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted in the event that we issue common stock at a price below the fixed conversion price, below market price, with the exception of any securities issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement. The conversion price of the secured convertible notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of the selling stockholder’s position. As of the date of this filing, the conversion price for the secured convertible debentures and the exercise price of the warrants have not been adjusted. The selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. In addition, we have granted the investors a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property and registration rights.
We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations to cash flow break even. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and the downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations again.
The proceeds received from the sale of the secured convertible notes will be used for business development purposes, working capital needs, pre-payment of interest, payment of consulting and legal fees and purchasing inventory. No dividend can be issued while the notes are in effect.

Penny Stock Regulation.
Shares of our common stock are subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:
·
A description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
·
A description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws;
·
A brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the “bid” and “ask” price;
·
A toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
·
Definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
·
Such other information and in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following:
·
The bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
·
The compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
·
The number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
·
Monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules for an indeterminate period of time.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS.
This report contains forward-looking statements. Actual results and events could differ materially from those projected, anticipated, or implicit, in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this report.
With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning anticipated trends in revenues and net income, projections concerning operations and available cash flow. Our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
Overview
We are a Nevada corporation that was incorporated on May 17, 2000. We were founded to design, develop, market and sell advanced lighting systems that utilize light emitting diodes as illumination elements. White diodes are a relatively new phenomenon that offer major advances in illumination technology. Our diodes consume 92% less energy than incandescent counterparts to produce comparable light output. In electrochemical (battery powered) applications, this diminution of energy consumption positions our lighting solutions as more durable and reliable than other interim lighting alternatives. In standard alternating current electrical applications, the calculated life of LEDs as lighting elements is over 20 years versus 750 hours for traditional incandescent light bulbs. These exceptional performance characteristics, diminutive energy consumption and extended life, have prompted diode implementation in traffic lights and automotive brake lights, but have not yet significantly occurred in our area of focus, diodal illumination (tm). Diodal illumination is the production of light through the use of white light emitting diodes. A light emitting diode is a chemical compound that produces a visible light when an electrical current is applied. This production of light through a diode is contrasted with light from a typical light bulb, in which light is produced as a by-product of a burning filament contained within a vacuum globe. The diode uses 92% less energy to produce comparable light to that of a traditional light bulb.
On January 15, 2008, we announced that the we had been selected to provide portable task lighting for the City of New York's new 911 Public Safety Answering Center. Selected by Evans Consoles, the manufacturer of the new 911 Dispatch Command Consoles, the Cyberlux Portable LED Task Light will illuminate the work environment of the new 911 public safety call taking and dispatching operators. We received an initial order from Evans Consoles for 355 units valued at over $64,000.
The milspec LED Task Light performs for over 50,000 hours without a lighting element replacement, and operates with up to 52% more energy efficiency on low lighting levels and up to 31% more energy efficiency on high lighting levels when compared to traditional fluorescent task lighting. Our milspec LED Task Lighting products provide up to 1000 lumens of illumination with 12 watts of power and utilize a patent-pending thermal management system for optimal lighting performance.
In addition, our milspec LED Task Light is the only LED task light available that is compatible with the Johnson Controls Personal Environments control center. The Johnson Control system is typically used by call center operators, including those in New York City, to control lighting, heating and air conditioning within their personal operating environment. The dual-arm milspec LED Task Light is adjustable and adaptable to any call center operator's lighting needs and is dimmed and controlled using the Johnson Controls system to vary the amount of light according to task.
On February 19, 2008, we announced that we had received the first commitment for 80 BrightEye and 60 WatchDog Visible and Covert Portable Illumination Systems from the United States Air Force (USAF). This initial USAF order for Cyberlux tactical lighting equipment equates to $3,318,646 in revenue, including spares and maintenance supplies. We projected that operations will be cash flow positive with the fulfillment of these first USAF orders.
The 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations legislation contains $8.0 million for the equipping of the USAF with our Portable Illumination Systems. As part of this $8.0 million budget, the USAF Air Mobility Command will first fulfill the requirements of the Operations, Installation and Mission Support commands for the BrightEye and WatchDog systems. The remaining $4.6 million appropriations will be allocated within the Air Mobility Command and other USAF commands during the remaining Fiscal Year 2008.
The BrightEye Portable Illumination System is designed as a portable visible and night-vision compatible illumination system for general mission tactical lighting, force protection, maintenance lighting, expeditionary base protection, disaster first responders, and other rapidly deployable high-intensity lighting applications. Using advanced optics, advanced solid-state lighting technology, and light-weight battery power, all contained in an easily transportable wheeled case, the BrightEye system is capable of eliminating the space-consuming bulk, noise and energy consumption of the current generator-powered incandescent lighting systems. Unique to the marketplace, the BrightEye system provides both white and night-vision compatible covert lighting, a capability not available in traditional lighting systems.
On March 24, 2008, we announced that that we had successfully completed the field demonstration of the new 4-meter tower-based BrightEye high-performance solid-state LED lighting system. The testing was conducted by Cyberlux and the United States Air Force Air Mobility Command at Fort Huachuca, the home to the U.S. Army Intelligence Center, located in Arizona. The new BrightEye 4M Tower Portable Illumination System is the latest product developed by Cyberlux to fulfill the United States Air Force requirements for portable, light-weight, battery-powered visible and covert night vision- compatible lighting systems for air field support, aircraft maintenance and forward air base in-theater lighting capability.
The BrightEye 4M Tower Portable Illumination System was tested in both visible and covert lighting modes to demonstrate advanced lighting capability during various scenarios, including force protection and broad area security lighting, first responder rapid set up capability, night vision-compatible illumination for aircraft maintenance, and general operational lighting for ground operation support of supply aircraft such as the C-130. All testing scenarios met the Air Mobility Command (AMC) expectations, including illumination levels, power system runtimes, system weight levels and deployment set-up times.
The 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations legislation contains $8.0 million for the equipping of the United States Air Force (USAF) with Cyberlux Portable Illumination Systems. Of the $8.0 million budget, the USAF Air Mobility Command will utilize $3.3M to fulfill initial Operations, Installation and Mission Support requirements. The remaining $4.6M will be allocated within the USAF for the purchase of various BrightEye systems including the Dual Lighthead Portable Illumination Systems and the new 4M Tower Portable Illumination System during the remaining Fiscal Year 2008.
In an earlier field test evaluation, the AMC determined that the BrightEye System is 97% smaller in footprint, weighs 94% less than the current diesel- powered incandescent lighting systems and saves an estimated 63% in daily operating costs. In addition, the AMC concluded that the BrightEye System provides versatile and economical tactical lighting capability as required by expeditionary forces across all U.S. armed services.
On April 8, 2008, we announced that that we had competed its National Program budget forecast for solid-state lighting systems for use within the Department of Defense (DOD) and submitted this forecast to its sponsorship in the House of Representatives and Senate for 2009 Fiscal Year (October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009) budget consideration. We estimated the continuation of its Portable Illumination System National Program rollout within the DOD to be more than $25 million, which represents expanded demand for its tactical covert and visible lighting systems of over 300% from 2008 to 2009.
Although we delivered our BrightEye and WatchDog Systems to certain commands within the USAF and the National Guard and the USAF has committed $3.3 million of the $8.0 million 2008 National Program budget for Portable Illumination Systems, these equipment requests, and the remaining $4.7M 2008 budget, remain unshipped pending designation of the National Stocking Numbers (NSNs) by the Defense Logistics Agency. This protracted accounting delay has created the need for two short-term equity financings which have recently been concluded.
On April 17, 2008, we announced that we received a request from the National Guard to participate in the Vigilant Guard 2008 Disaster Response Exercise in Beaufort, South Carolina from April 21st through April 24th. The Vigilant Guard event is designed to simulate the chaotic aftermath of an earthquake or terrorist attack and will include 50 specific missions designed to test emergency response, search and rescue, evacuation and distribution of goods capabilities. We deployed a team of our specialists to operate the BrightEye 4M Tower Illumination Systems and the BrightEye Dual Lighthead Tactical Illumination Systems to provide rapid set-up and 'stadium-bright' lighting capability during the various exercises.
Over the last two years, we haave worked with select National Guard units and the National Guard Bureau to refine the capabilities of our portable visible and night-vision compatible illumination systems for general mission tactical lighting, disaster first response, force protection, maintenance lighting, expeditionary base protection and other rapidly deployable high-intensity lighting applications.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:
o stock-based compensation;
o revenue recognition; and
o derivatives
Stock-Based Compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment" which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the provisions of this statement. The effect of this amendment by the SEC is that the Company had to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based method of accounting no later than the first quarter of 2006. The Company implemented SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. The fair value of each option grant issued after January 1, 2006 was determined as of grant date, utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The amortization of each option grant will be over the remainder of the vesting period of each option grant.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized in the period that products are provided. For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, REVENUE RECOGNITION ("SAB104"), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ("SAB101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company did not have any deferred revenue.
SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), MULTIPLE DELIVERABLE REVENUE ARRANGEMENTS. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing EITF 00-21 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations was not significant.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company's derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the 10% Secured Convertible Debentures (see Note D). These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features, variable interest features, call options and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the Note Agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," as a result of entering into the Notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee stock options and warrants as derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each reporting date. Any change in fair value inclusive of modifications of terms will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. Conversion-related derivatives were valued using the intrinsic method and the warrants using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 528%; and risk free interest rate from 3.36% to 3.70%. The derivatives are classified as long-term liabilities.
Registration rights
In with raising capital through the issuance of Convertible Notes, the Company has issued convertible debentures and warrants in that have registration rights with liquidated damages for the underlying shares. As the contract must be settled by the delivery of registered shares and the delivery of the registered shares is not controlled by the Company, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the net value of the of the underlying embedded derivative and warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet. Liquidated damages are estimated and accrued as a liability at each reporting date. The Company has accrued an estimated $816,856 in liquidation damages.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 Compared.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $639,529. This compares to revenues of $ 721,148 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Cost of goods sold were $405,939 for 2008 compared with $514,231 for 2007.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $5,430,931compared with $3,875,668 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Included in expenses for 2008 was $517,915 for consulting services compared with $198,178 for the previous year.
Interest expense for 2008 was $2,793,580 compared to $2,645,375for 2007. Included in interest expense for 2006 is $1,926,625which was booked to recognize the imbedded beneficial conversion feature of the $4,500,000 convertible notes payable entered into during the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2004, 2005 and 2006.
The net loss realized for 2008 was $11,323,482, or $0.02 per share on an average of 643,052,619 shares outstanding and compares to net loss of $15,619,897, or $0.04 per share on an average of 383,858,373 shares outstanding for the year 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $10,546,455. As a result of our operating losses for the year ended December 31. 2008, we generated a cash flow deficit of $1,184,170 from operating activities. Cash flows generated through investing activities was $0 during the year ended December 31, 2008. We met our cash requirements during this period through the issuance of $525,000 Convertible Notes Payable and $675,760 from the sale of Common Stock.
While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development.
By adjusting our operations and development to the level of capitalization, we believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits through the next twelve months. However, if thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
Our independent certified public accountant has stated in their report, dated as of May 15, 2009, that we have incurred operating losses, and that we are dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. These factors among others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has engaged Ayuda Equity Funding, LLC to provide equity-collateralized loan financing as a non-toxic incremental financing option to fund the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company provides Ayuda Equity Funding, LLC with freely trading shares of common stock for use as collateral for capital loans then made to the Company. Ayuda Equity Funding, LLC values the freely trading shares at a 30% discount to market and provides collateralized capital loans to the Company in return.
The Company completed an equity financing with St. George Investments, LLC (SGI), an Illinois limited liability company, on March 21, 2008 for $1,500,000. The equity financing is structured as a 25% discount to market Warrant transaction that provides $500,000 in capital at closing, followed by four traunches of $250,000 each. Each $250,000 traunch is staggered at 60-day intervals commencing in six months on September 22, 2008, which is the date that shares are salable pursuant to Rule 144 upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company issued 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock to SGI in order to induce the SGI to purchase the $1,500,000 Warrant. In addition, 6,763,300 additional shares of Common Stock were issued as Performance Stock in the name of SGI to remain in their original certificated form and remain in escrow with the law firm of Anslow & Jaclin, LLP acting as escrow agent. As a provision of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, we pledged 35,736,700 shares of “Pledge Stock” to be held in escrow as a potential remedy in the event of the occurrence of certain identified “trigger events”. On June 23rd , 2008, one trigger event, the closing price of our stock, went below the identified market price of $0.012 per share, triggrering the release from escrow of the 6,763,300 shares of Performance Stock and the 35,736,700 shares of Pledge stock”. This trigger event, as defined in the Warrant Purchase Agreement, also increased the Warrant Account by 25% of the balance, or $375,000, in exchange for the elimination of the 25% discount to market.
We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations to cash flow break even. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and the downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations again.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48). “Accounting for uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for Income Taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition and clearly scopes income taxes out of SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),"Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006 the Financial Account Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. FAS 157 effective date is for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, operations or cash flows.
In September 2006 the FASB issued its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”. This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The effective date for an employer with publicly traded equity securities is as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, operations or cash flows.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements ("FSP 00-19-2") which addresses accounting for registration payment arrangements. FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. FSP 00-19-2 further clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable generally accepted accounting principles without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of EITF 00-19-2, this guidance shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted FSP 00-19-2 in the preparation of the financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),"Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 16, 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments,” which amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect its adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131") establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company's principal operating segment.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143,” which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 47 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows In May 2005 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in non-discretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this SFAS to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Product Research and Development
We anticipate continuing to incur research and development expenditures in connection with the development of our Advanced Illumination Systems during the next twelve months. We anticipate that we will expend approximately $800,000 in this endeavor.
These projected expenditures are dependent upon our generating revenues and obtaining sources of financing in excess of our existing capital resources. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required or generating revenues sufficient to fund the projected costs of research and development during the next twelve months.
Acquisition or Disposition of Plant and Equipment
We do not anticipate the sale of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months. We do not anticipate the acquisition of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next 12 months.
Risk Factors
Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements".
Our common shares are considered speculative. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.
Risks Relating to Our Business:
We Have a History Of Losses Which May Continue, Which May Negatively Impact Our Ability to Achieve Our Business Objectives.
We incurred a net loss of $11,322,912 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to a net loss of $15,619,897 for the year ended December 31, 2007. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to continue expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.
If We Are Unable to Obtain Additional Funding Our Business Operations Will be Harmed and If We Do Obtain Additional Financing Our Then Existing Shareholders May Suffer Substantial Dilution.
We will require additional funds to sustain and expand our sales and marketing activities. We anticipate that we will require up to approximately $4 million to fund our continued operations for the next twelve months, depending on revenue from operations. We need additional funding for research and development, increasing inventory, marketing and general and administrative expenses. Although this amount is less than our net losses in the past, we expect to decrease our general and administrative expenses by eliminating most of our consulting fees. In the event that we cannot significantly reduce our consulting fees, we will need to raise additional funds to continue our operations. Additional capital will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
Our Independent Auditors Have Expressed Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue As a Going Concern, Which May Hinder Our Ability to Obtain Future Financing.
In their report dated May 15, 2009, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of losses for the year ended December 31, 2008 in the amount of $11,322,912 . We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
Many Of Our Competitors Are Larger and Have Greater Financial and Other Resources Than We Do and Those Advantages Could Make It Difficult For Us to Compete With Them.
The lighting and illumination industry is extremely competitive and includes several companies that have achieved substantially greater market shares than we have, and have longer operating histories, have larger customer bases, and have substantially greater financial, development and marketing resources than we do. If overall demand for our products should decrease it could have a materially adverse affect on our operating results.
Our Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Rights May Not be Adequately Protected Outside the United States, Resulting in Loss of Revenue.
We believe that our trademarks, whether licensed or owned by us, and other proprietary rights are important to our success and our competitive position. In the course of our international expansion, we may, however, experience conflict with various third parties who acquire or claim ownership rights in certain trademarks. We cannot assure that the actions we have taken to establish and protect these trademarks and other proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products as a violation of the trademarks and proprietary rights of others. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States.
Our Principal Stockholders, Officers And Directors Own a Controlling Interest in Our Voting Stock And Investors Will Not Have Any Voice in Our Management.
On October 10, 2007, we issued 3,650,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B stock”)to our officers and directors which are convertible into 36,500,000 shares of common stock and, in the aggregate, have the right to cast 365,000,000 million votes in any vote by our shareholders. On January 22, 2009, we issued 1,000,000 additional shares of Series B stock to our officers and directors. Combined with the number of shares of common stock held by our officers and directors, they have the right to cast approximately 56% of all votes by our shareholders. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including:
o
election of our board of directors;
o
removal of any of our directors;
o
amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and
o
adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.
As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors and executive officers collectively are able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock:
We Have Issued a Large Amount of Stock in Lieu of Cash for Payment of Expenses and Expect to Continue this Practice in the Future. Such Issuances of Stock Will Cause Dilution to Our Existing Stockholders.
Due to our limited economic resources, we try to issue stock in lieu of cash for payment of expenses and services provided for us. In 2008, we issued 9,700,000 shares of common stock in exchange for expenses and services rendered. We anticipate issuing shares of common stock whenever possible in lieu of cash to conserve our financial position. The number of shares of common stock issued is directly related to our stock price at the time of issuance. In the event that our stock price drops, we will be required to issue larger amounts of shares for expenses and services rendered, if the other party is willing to accept stock at all. The issuance of shares of common stock will have the effect of diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in this offering.
If We Fail to Remain Current on Our Reporting Requirements, We Could be Removed From the OTC Bulletin Board Which Would Limit the Ability of Broker-Dealers to Sell Our Securities and the Ability of Stockholders to Sell Their Securities in the Secondary Market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
·
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
·
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
·
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cyberlux Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audit provides 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 Cyberlux Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements must have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note L to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, negative working capital, and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note N. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Business and Basis of Presentation
Cyberlux Corporation (the "Company") is incorporated on May 17, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Until December 31, 2004, the Company was a development state enterprise as defined under Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No.7, Development Stage Enterprises ("SFAS No.7"). The Company develops, manufactures and markets long-term portable lighting products for commercial and industrial users. While the Company has generated revenues from its sale of products, the Company has incurred expenses, and sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of $52,360,720.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, SPE Technologies, Inc. and Hybrid Lighting Technologies, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Acquisitions
On December 28, 2006, the Company acquired SPE Technologies, Inc, a Florida corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary. SPE Technologies, Inc. was acquired by issuance 100,000 shares of Class C 5% convertible preferred stock valued at the time acquisition at $2,520,000.
The total consideration paid was $2,520,000 and the significant components of the transaction are as follows:
On January 11, 2007, the Company acquired Hybrid Lighting Technologies, Inc, a Florida corporation, as a wholly owned subsidiary. Hybrid Lighting Technologies, Inc was acquired by issuance of 26,500,000 shares of its common stock and 50,000 shares of Class C 5% convertible preferred stock. The total value assigned at the time of acquisition of $1,537,000.
The total consideration paid was $1,537,000 and the significant components of the transaction are as follows:

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, whereby the Company periodically tests its intangible assets for impairment. On an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired, these assets are tested for impairment, and write-downs will be included in results from operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized in the period that products are provided. For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, REVENUE RECOGNITION ("SAB104"), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ("SAB101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not have any deferred revenue.
SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), MULTIPLE DELIVERABLE REVENUE ARRANGEMENTS. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing EITF 00-21 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations was not significant.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation." Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates, and related revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders' equity. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.
Accounts Receivables
Accounts Receivable are shown at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 net of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in the amounts of $1,803 and $8,646. Our policy is to provide an allowance when an Account becomes greater than 90 days past due. An account is charged off when it is determined by management to be uncollectible.

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company presently utilizes the services of Prestige Capital to provide financing for our Accounts Receivable invoices. Prestige Capital advances seventy-five percent (75%) of the face value of the invoices submitted by the Company to Prestige Capital for financing. Prestige Capital holds in reserve the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the invoice value until the invoice is paid by the invoiced company to Prestige. Provided that there are no outstanding chargebacks or disputes, Prestige pays the reserve amount, less any financing fees due Prestige, on the Friday following the week in which the invoice is collected by Prestige from the Company receiving the invoice from the Company.
Prestige Capital’s financing fees are based on the number of days an invoice is outstanding from the date of the initial 75% advance payment. If the invoice is paid by the invoiced company within 30 days, a financing fee of three percent (3%) is paid to Prestige from the 25% reserve; if paid within 40 days a financing fee of four percent (4%) is paid to Prestige; if paid within 50 days a financing fee of five percent (5%) is paid to Prestige; if paid within 60 days a financing fee of six percent (6%) is paid to Prestige; and an additional one percent (1%) for each 10 day period thereafter until the invoice is paid by the invoiced company.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the average cost method. The Company provides inventory allowances based on estimates of obsolete inventories. Inventories consist of products available for sale to distributors and customers as well as raw material.
Components of inventories as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Furniture and fixtures
years
Office equipment
to 5 years
Leasehold improvements
years
Manufacturing equipment
years
Advertising costs
The Company expenses all costs of marketing and advertising as incurred. Marketing and advertising costs totaled $6,356 and $20,437 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 ("SFAS 2"), "Accounting for Research and Development Costs". Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company expenditures were $3,582 and $164,793 on research and product development for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
Impairment of long lived assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undercounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SF AS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Fair Values
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) as amended by FASB Statement of Position (FSP) FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. FSP FAS 157-2 delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, allowance for doubtful receivable was $1,803 and $8,646, respectively.

NOTE A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Stock based compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment" which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the provisions of this statement. The effect of this amendment by the SEC is that the Company had to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based method of accounting no later than the first quarter of 2006. The Company implemented SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. The fair value of each option grant issued after January 1, 2006 was determined as of grant date, utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The amortization of each option grant will be over the remainder of the vesting period of each option grant.
In prior years, the Company applied the intrinsic-value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” to account for the issuance of stock options to employees and accordingly compensation expense related to employees’ stock options were recognized in the prior year financial statements to the extent options granted under stock incentive plans had an exercise price less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Segment reporting
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.130, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Income taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No.109) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse
At December 31, 2008, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $50,000,000, expiring in the year 2023, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. Due to significant changes in the Company's ownership, the future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited. Components of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Patents
The Company acquired in December 2006, for $2,294,000, and January 2007, for $1,387,000, patents in conjunction with the acquisitions of SPE Technologies, Inc and Hybrid Lighting Technologies, Inc, respectively. The patents have an estimated useful life of 7 years. Accordingly, the Company recorded an amortization charge to current period earnings of $525,889 and $525,889 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Patents are comprised of the following:
December 31, 2007:
December 31, 2008:
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company management preformed an evaluation of its intangible assets (Patents) for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at acquisition date(s). During the year ended December 31, 2008, the tests indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its patents exceeded their fair value, as determined by discounted cash flows and accordingly recorded an impairment charge of $1,698,229 to current operations. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130; “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (SFAS) No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Liquidity
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net loss from operations of $9,140,254 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $10,061,456 as of December 31, 2008.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company's derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the 10% Secured Convertible Debentures (see Note D). These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features, variable interest features, call options and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the Note Agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," as a result of entering into the Notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee stock options and warrants as derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each reporting date. Any change in fair value inclusive of modifications of terms will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. Conversion-related derivatives were valued using the intrinsic method and the warrants using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 362%; and risk free interest rate from 0.37% to 1.55%. The derivatives are classified as long-term liabilities.
Registration rights
In with raising capital through the issuance of Convertible Notes, the Company has issued convertible debentures and warrants in that have registration rights with liquidated damages for the underlying shares. As the contract must be settled by the delivery of registered shares and the delivery of the registered shares is not controlled by the Company, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the net value of the of the underlying embedded derivative and warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet. Liquidated damages are estimated and accrued as a liability at each reporting date. The Company has accrued an estimated $816,856 in liquidation damages.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R in 2009 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 in 2009 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement.
EITF 07-1 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date.
The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 07-1in 2009 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 07-5, “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” This issue addresses whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133, for purposes of determining whether the instrument should be classified as an equity instrument or accounted for as a derivative instrument. The provisions of EITF Issue No. 07-5 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be applied retrospectively through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for outstanding instruments as of that date. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 07-05 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB” issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3,“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009, earlier adoption is prohibited. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP No. FAS 142-3 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) " ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts”, which clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, including interim periods in that year. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 163 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.” This position clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. It also reaffirms the notion of fair value as an exit price as of the measurement date. This position was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. FSP 132(R)-1 requires disclosures about fair value measurements of plan assets that would be similar to the disclosures about fair value measurements required by SFAS 157. The Company is assessing the potential effect of the adoption of FSP 132(R)-1 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities. The FSP requires extensive additional disclosure by public entities with continuing involvement in transfers of financial assets to special-purpose entities and with variable interest entities (VIEs), including sponsors that have a variable interest in a VIE. This FSP became effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2008 and did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2009, the FASB issued Financial Statement of Position (“FSP”) Issue No. EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20” (“FSP EITF No. 99-20-1”). FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The Company adopted FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

If the Registration Statement is not filed and/or not declared effective as described above, the Company will be required to pay liquidated damages in the form of cash or the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s discretion, in an amount equal to 2% of the unpaid principal balance per month to the date on which the Registrable Securities (in the opinion of counsel to the Initial Investors) may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction (including, without limitation, as to volume by each holder thereof) under the 1933 Act.
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has not maintained an effective registration statement and therefore is in default of the Security Purchase agreement. As such, at the option of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holders (the "DEFAULT NOTICE"); the Notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the greater of (i) 130% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus (y) Default Interest (at 15% per annum), if any, plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The then outstanding principal amount of the Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the "DEFAULT SUM")or (ii) the "parity value" of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum, treating the Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the "Conversion Date" for purposes of determining the lowest applicable Conversion Price, unless the Default Event arises as a result of a breach in respect of a specific Conversion Date in which case such Conversion Date shall be the Conversion Date), multiplied by (b) the highest Closing Price for the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of first occurrence of the Event of Default and ending one day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date (the "DEFAULT AMOUNT") and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, together with all costs including legal fees and expenses of collection. If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.
For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company amortized the debt discount and charged to interest expense $50,137 and $23,425, respectively.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has accrued $816,586 in default provision liabilities and liquidated damages relating to the above described Securities Purchase Agreements.
Although described as a warrant, the instrument was considered a convertible debenture for accounting purposes.
In accordance with EITF 98-5, the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible note. The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $184,736 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid in capital and a discount against the convertible note payable. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature charged to current period earnings as interest expense.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, 1 of the Series A Preferred shareholders exercised the conversion right and exchanged 2 shares of Series A Preferred for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
The holders of the Series A Preferred shall have the right to vote, separately as a single class, at a meeting of the holders of the Series A Preferred or by such holders' written consent or at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation on any of the following matters: (i) the creation, authorization, or issuance of any class or series of shares ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred with respect to dividends or upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, and (ii) any agreement or other corporate action which would adversely affect the powers, rights, or preferences of the holders of the Series A Preferred.
The holders of record of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of twelve percent per annum (12%) on the face value ($5,000 per share) when, if and as declared by the Board of Directors, if ever. All dividends, when paid, shall be payable in cash, or at the option of the Company, in shares of the Company’s common stock. Dividends on shares of the Series A Preferred that have not been redeemed shall be payable quarterly in arrears, when, if and as declared by the Board of Directors, if ever, on a semi-annual basis. No dividend or distribution other than a dividend or distribution paid in Common Stock or in any other junior stock shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment on the Common Stock or on any other junior stock unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred shall have been declared and paid. These dividends are not recorded until declared by the Company. As of the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, $0 in dividends was accumulated.

Because the Series A Shares include a redemption feature that is outside of the control of the Company and the stated conversion price is subject to reset, the Company has classified the Series A Shares outside of stockholders' equity in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Topic D-98, "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities." In accordance with EITF Topic D-98, the fair value at date of issuance was recorded outside of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying balance sheet. Dividends on the Series A Shares are reflected as a reduction of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders.
In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred and related warrants, the holders were granted certain registration rights in which the Company agreed to timely file a registration statement to register the common shares and the shares underlying the warrants, obtain effectiveness of the registration statement by the SEC within ninety-five (95) days of December 31, 2003, and maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement for a preset time thereafter. In the event the Company fails to timely perform under the registration rights agreement, the Company agrees to pay the holders of the Series A Preferred liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by the holders for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which the registration statement should have been effective. The initial registration statement was filed and declared effective by the SEC within the allowed time , however the Company has not maintained the effectiveness of the registration statement to date. Accordingly, the Company issued 203,867 shares of common stock as liquidated damages on December 10, 2004. The Company has not been required to pay any further liquidated damages in connection with the filing or on-going effectiveness of the registration statement.
The Company was required to record a liability relating to the detachable warrants as described in FAS 133, EITF 98-5 and 00-27, and APB 14. As such:

NOTE J -STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (continued)
The Company completed an equity financing with St. George Investments, LLC (SGI), an Illinois limited liability company, on March 21, 2008 for $1,500,000. The equity financing is structured as a 25% discount to market Warrant transaction that provides $500,000 in capital at closing, followed by four traunches of $250,000 each. Each $250,000 traunch is staggered at 60-day intervals commencing in six months on September 22, 2008, which is the date that shares are salable pursuant to Rule 144 upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company issued 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock to SGI in order to induce the SGI to purchase the $1,500,000 Warrant. In addition, 6,763,300 additional shares of Common Stock were issued as Performance Stock in the name of SGI to remain in their original certificated form and remain in escrow with the law firm of Anslow & Jaclin, LLP acting as escrow agent. As a provision of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, we pledged 35,736,700 shares of “Pledge Stock” to be held in escrow as a potential remedy in the event of the occurrence of certain identified “trigger events”. On June 23rd, 2008, one trigger event, the closing price of our stock, went below the identified market price of $0.012 per share, triggering the release from escrow of the 6,763,300 shares of Performance Stock and the 35,736,700 shares of “Pledge Stock”. This trigger event, as defined in the Warrant Purchase Agreement, also increased the Warrant Account by 25% of the balance, or $375,000, in exchange for the elimination of the 25% discount to market.

NOTE M - FAIR VALUES
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following items as of December 31, 2008:
CYBERLUX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE M - FAIR VALUES (continued)
With the exception of assets and liabilities included within the scope of FSP FAS No. 157-2, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 prospectively effective as of the beginning of Fiscal 2008. For financial assets and liabilities included within the scope of FSP FAS No. 157-2, the Company will be required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 prospectively as of the beginning of Fiscal 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations, and the Company do not believe that the adoption of FSP FAS No. 157-2 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
NOTE N- GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The accompanying statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2008, the Company incurred accumulated losses of $52,360,720. The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $10,496,454 as of December 31, 2008. These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The Company is actively pursuing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing.
If operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems.

ITEM 8A(T) - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our quarterly evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting, and internal control over financial reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis for purposes of providing the management report that is set forth below. At the same time our disclosure controls and procedures can identify weaknesses in our financial reporting and control systems that require remediative action.
The evaluation conducted included the design, as well as the implementation, of the disclosure controls and procedures, and how the output produced was used in the preparation of this Form 10-K. In the course of performing this evaluation, particular attention was paid to identifying past, present and potential occurrences of data errors, problems of control, and the potential for fraud.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures by our management, that as of December 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness described below, and because we didn’t provide Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting as required by Item 308T(a) of regulation S-B
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of an adequate system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act Rules 13a - 15(f) and 15d - 15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officers, and affected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
1.)
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets.
2.)
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors.
3.)
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our evaluation addressed every activity performed within the Company including, but not limited to, the collection, recording, storing, control and reporting of financial data.
Because of their inherent limitations, any system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be come inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the framework defined in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Material Weakness
Based on our evaluation under COSO, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008, due to a control deficiency that we believe should be considered a material weakness. A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The present accounting system does not provide for the efficient recording of raw materials/work-in-process movements in and out of inventory. While our evaluation process found no irregularities, the additional intervention on the part of accounting department personnel to verify the transactions was determined to be both cumbersome, but also presented the opportunity for misstatement.
This deficiency was resolved during the 1st Quarter of 2008 with the acquisition and implementation of new accounting software. The attention paid to inventory transaction work flow during the evaluation and acquisition stage of software review, verified the correctness of data capture, recording, storage, reporting and control of both the financial as well as non-financial aspects of the transactions. Subsequent periodic testing of the transactions has determined the accuracy and reliability of the information.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of the controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the reality that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may be come inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accountants regarding internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires Cyberlux Corporation executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company’s common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish Cyberlux Corporation with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and written representations from Company executive officers and directors, the Company believes that during the year ended 2005, the officers and directors filed all of their respective Section 16(a) reports on a timely basis.
Audit Committee
We do not have an Audit Committee, our board of directors during 2007, performed some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
Nominating Committee
We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our board of directors performed some of the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee at this time, however, our Board of Directors intend to continually evaluate the need for a Nominating Committee.
Code of Conduct
On March 4, 2005, we adopted a written code of conduct that governs all of our officers, directors, employees and contractors. The code of conduct relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

ITEM 11.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table presents information, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of its common stock on May 15 , 2009, relating to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s capital stock and by its directors and executive officers. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 999,955,532 shares of common stock outstanding.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of our common stock.
1) Beneficial Ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of May 15, 2009 are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such option or warrant but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.
(2) For purposes of calculating the percentage beneficially owned, the number of shares of each class of stock deemed outstanding include 944,955,532 common shares and 4,650,000 Preferred "B" Shares outstanding as of May 15, 2009.
(3) This column represents the total number of votes each named shareholder is entitled to vote upon matters presented to the shareholders for a vote.
(4) For purposes of calculating the percentage of total votes on shareholder matters, the total number of votes entitled to vote on matters submitted to shareholders is 1,234,955,412, which includes: one vote for each share of common stock currently outstanding (944,955,532); and 100 votes for each share of Series B preferred stock outstanding (4,650,000 shares of Series B stock * 100 =.465,000,000).
(5) Includes 1,627,359 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock convertible into 16,275,590 shares of common stock and the right to cast 162,765,900 votes.
(6) Includes 1,007,547shares of Series B convertible preferred stock convertible into 10,075,470 shares of common stock and the right to cast 100,754,700 votes.
(7) Includes 1,283,019 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock convertible into 12,830,190 shares of common stock and the right to cast 128,301,900 votes.
(8) Includes 732,075 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock convertible into 7,320,750 shares of common stock and the right to cast 73,207,500 votes.
(9) Includes 4,650,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock convertible into 46,500,000 shares of common stock and the right to cast 465,000,000 votes.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We owed certain management fees, which were for accrued salaries for Messrs. Evans, Ninneman, Ringo and Schmidt consistent with employment agreements. These fees were as follows: $400,505 to Don Evans, $243,000 to John Ringo, $263,000 to Alan Ninneman and $101,000 to Mark Schmidt for a total of $1,007,505. In addition, certain officers loaned funds to us in exchange for promissory notes. The promissory notes included $3,745 to Al Ninneman and $184,830 to Dave Downing.
In 2004, we issued 800,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to officers and directors in exchange for $723,670 of these management fees and $76,330 of the loan from Dave Downing, on a basis of 1 share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for $1 of debt owned. The management fees converted include $275,103 by Don Evans, $166,915 by John Ringo, $180,652 to Alan Ninneman and $101,000 to Mark Schmidt. These shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have certain conversion rights and superior voting privileges as further described in the “Description of Securities” section herein. The Board of Directors, exercising their business judgment, determined that it was in the Company’s best interest to issue shares of Series B convertible preferred stock in lieu of accrued management fees. The Board of Directors determined that the terms of the transaction were as fair to the Company as any transactions that could have been made with unaffiliated parties. . On June 17, 2007, the Board of Directors amended the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and increased the number of shares to be issued to officers and directors to 3, 650,000 shares. On January 22, 2009, the Board of Directors amended the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Convertible Stock and increased the number of shares to be issued to officers and directors to 4,650,000.
Currently, there are still outstanding promissory notes totaling 397,064, which include $249,350 in unpaid management fees and promissory notes to officers totaling $147,714. The unpaid management fees include $90,916 owed to Don Evans; $82,348 to Al Ninneman and $76,086 to John Ringo. The outstanding promissory notes to officers include $17,745 to Al Ninneman, and $113,969 to Dave Downing. The promissory notes were issued to officers who lent us funds for working capital purposes. The promissory notes are payable on demand and accrue interest at an annual rate of 12%.
We have consulting agreements with outside contractors, certain of whom are also our stockholders. The agreements are generally for a term of 12 months from inception and renewable automatically from year to year unless either we or the consultant terminates such engagement by written notice. None of the consultants who are shareholders own 5% or more of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
The terms of transactions in this section are as fair to the Company as any transactions that could have been made with unaffiliated parties.
We have no policy regarding entering into transactions with affiliated parties.

Policy On Audit Committee Pre-Approval Of Audit And Permissible Non-Audit Services Of Independent Auditors
We currently do not have a designated Audit Committee, and accordingly, our Board of Directors' policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to our Board of Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Board of Directors may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
