CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE
Title of Each Class of Securities to be Registered | | Amount to Be Registered | | | Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share | | Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price(1) | | Amount of Registration Fee | |
Common stock of the registrant, par value $.001 per share issuable upon conversion on of the 6% callable secured convertible notes. | | | 37,500,000 | (1) | | $ | 0.032 | (2) | $ | 1,200,000 | | $ | 128.40 | |
Total | | | 37,500,000 | | | | | | | | | $ | 128.40 | |
(1) Includes shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be offered pursuant to this registration statement, which shares are issuable upon conversion of secured convertible notes held by the selling stockholders. In addition to the shares set forth in the table, the amount to be registered includes an indeterminate number of shares issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible notes, as such number may be adjusted as a result of stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions in accordance with Rule 416. The number of shares of common stock registered hereunder represents a good faith estimate by us of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible notes. For purposes of estimating the number of shares of common stock to be included in this registration statement, we calculated a good faith estimate of the number of shares of our common stock that we believe will be issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible notes to account for market fluctuations, and antidilution and price protection adjustments, respectively. Should the conversion ratio result in our having insufficient shares, we will not rely upon Rule 416, but will file a new registration statement to cover the resale of such additional shares should that become necessary. In addition, should a decrease in the exercise price as a result of an issuance or sale of shares below the then current market price, result in our having insufficient shares, we will not rely upon Rule 416, but will file a new registration statement to cover the resale of such additional shares should that become necessary. The Company acknowledges that the number of shares initially included in the Registration Statement represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
(2) Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(g) under the Securities Act of 1933, using the average of the high and low price as reported on the Pink Sheets on November 26, 2006, which was $.032 per share.
The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.
THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY BE CHANGED. WE MAY NOT SELL THESE SECURITIES UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IS EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL THESE SECURITIES AND IT IS NOT SOLICITING AN OFFER TO BUY THESE SECURITIES IN ANY STATE WHERE THE OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Although it contains all material information, this summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information regarding our company, the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed under “risk factors,” and our financial statements and the accompanying notes. In this prospectus, “we”, “us” and “our”, refer to Michelex Corporation., unless the context otherwise requires. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “year,” “fiscal year” or “fiscal” refers to our fiscal year ending December 31st.
OUR BUSINESS
History:
Michelex Corporation (“Michelex” or the “Company”) was formed on September 29, 2003 as a Utah corporation pursuant to an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of our predecessor Highway One-OWEB, Inc. (“Highway One”). We are the designers and manufacturers of high quality customized and standard plastic components. Highway One was originally organized in 1999 to develop and market internet web page design and maintenance, for companies that had not previously used the internet for marketing purposes. That venture however did not achieve the expected results. In an effort to establish a more successful operation for stockholders, Highway One changed its business strategy and company control. A privately-held operating company had been identified by Benjamin Hansel and in order to make Highway One a more attractive merger candidate, in addition to certain representations made by Mr. Hansel, Highway One's president, secretary and sole director Peter Chandler resigned and appointed Mr. Hansel as Highway One’s new president, secretary and director pursuant to a February 2003 Purchase Agreement and accompanying resolutions. As consideration for remaining with Highway One and for payment of all costs and expenses associated with the transaction, Mr. Hansel was issued 20 million shares of Highway One’s restricted common stock, par value $0.001 per share representing an 89% ownership interest. As an officer Mr. Chandler’s beneficial ownership of 2,000,000 shares of Highway One’s common had constituted approximately 85.2%
In May 2003, Highway One created Michele Audio, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the sole purpose of merging with and into an existing operating company (“Michele Delaware”). On July 7, 2003 Highway One acquired Michele Audio Corporation of America, a New Jersey corporation fully integrated audio replication and multimedia fulfillment company ("Michele Audio") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Plan”). As the surviving entity of the merger, Michele Audio became Highway One’s subsidiary and sole business operation. The merger became effective on July 23, 2003 upon the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the New Jersey Secretary of State. We are providers of precision products manufactured with state-of-the-art equipment using only the finest materials which must meet or exceed our rigorous evaluative standards.
To date our Company consists of two (2) primary businesses:
MICHELEX DIVISION - Michelex Division sells and distributes a broad range of paper, vinyl, tyvek, and board mailer based multimedia packaging products. We also manufacture and import a wide range of plastic components used by the multimedia Optical Disc Industry. Our products are sold and primarily distributed through our own Company sales representatives. We service our customers from our facilities in Massena, New York and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as from several public warehouses located throughout the United States.
| · | Our principal product is the CD Jewel box. Our primary market is in the United States. Our product is sold directly by our in house sales team, which we plan to expand in the near future. We have just completed our own retail website which can be found at www.michelexmedia.com |
| · | We are expecting to commence production of our “5.2 jewel case ultra slim” in the last quarter of this year. |
| · | We believe that low electrical power and reasonable labor costs allow us to compete favorably with many of our competitors. We also believe that going forward the secret to our success will be bringing our facilities up to eighty percent (80%) operational level. Our goal in 2007, is to regain the market share that we believe was lost in 2005 and 2006, due to a conflict with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc., our senior lender (“Wells Fargo”). |
| · | Our primary raw material for our plastic products is polypropylene and polystyrene. The cost of these materials is directly related to the cost of a barrel of oil. We are subject to price fluctuations that are beyond our control. |
| · | We had approximately four hundred (400) accounts throughout the United States and Canada two (2) years ago. We are aggressively trying to recapture these accounts. Our “Made in the USA” products have a very good following and we hope to use this to our advantage. |
MICHELE AUDIO.
Michele Audio provides state of the art duplication, packaging, and fulfillment services for Cassette, CD, and DVD based products. Michele Audio also operates both a recording and mastering studio through which it provides audio restoration, editing, and mastering services. Additionally, Michele Audio libraries and controls our catalog of music and spoken word recordings which we license to other companies.
· | Our principal market is the spoken word industry. We provide cassettes and CD replication for various book publishers, primarily in the northeast. |
· | Our distribution for replication services is directly to the customers. Our music division distributes its products through regional distributors. We are currently working on a direct retail website to expose our music catalogue directly to the consumer. The Company will also explore granting download rights to internet sites that specialize in that service. |
· | We intend to place a greater emphasis on our music division because the replication of cassettes has diminished greatly. Cassettes were Michele Audio’s main business. The music business offers us a greater margin and higher revenues per unit. We believe that our catalogue has great potential that has not yet been realized. |
Michele Audio is a party to numerous royalty and licensing agreements of various dates and durations.
As the cost of compliance with environmental laws has not been significant, Michele Audio does not maintain detailed records of these expenses.
Employees.
As of December 31, 2005 Michele Audio had a total of 14 employees; of this amount, 13 were employed full-time.
HINDSIGHT RECORDS.
The thrilling discovery that there was a vast repertoire of Big Band music which had never been released to the public, led to the formation of Hindsight Records. When Wally Heider, a producer for the Company, learned that broadcasts of certain Big Band recordings had never been commercially released he decided to secure the licensing rights and transfer these one-of-a-kind originals to records and cassette tapes of the highest quality using state of the art equipment.
· | Hindsight’s principal products were CDs and cassettes tapes of Big Band recordings. It also expanded into well-known jazz artists and singers of the great standard songs such as Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney and Mel Torme. |
· | Our products were sold primarily to independent records distributors. |
· | Our main supplier was Michele Audio. |
· | We previously owned Hindsight Record’s numerous copyrighted songs and recordings. |
In December 2005, Hindsight was re-acquired by the Purchaser in exchange for canceling the $800,000 promissory note owed payable by the Company to the Purchaser as part of the original purchase price.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding to invest in our class a common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our company. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our class a common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part or your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of our company included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Risks Relating to Our Business:
We Have a History Of Losses Which May Continue, and May Negatively Impact Our Ability to Achieve Our Business Objectives.
We incurred net losses of $3,905,234 for the year ended December 31, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred a net loss of $2,345,383. 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. Our ability to achieve profits, 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.
We anticipate that the proceeds from our Agreement will be spent by as early as March, 2007.
Accordingly, we will require additional funds to sustain and expand our sales and marketing activities. Additional capital will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. Without the prior written consent of a majority-in-interest of the investors for a period ending on the later of (i) 270 days from the closing date, or (ii) 180 days from the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, our agreement with the AJW entity limits our ability to seek additional financing, including negotiating or contracting with any party to obtain additional equity financing (including debt financing with an equity component) which involves the following:
| · | the issuance of shares of our common stock at a discount to the market price on the date of issuance; |
| · | the issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an indeterminate number of shares of our common stock; or |
| · | the issuance of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. |
There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or if a majority-in-interest of the investors under our Securities Purchase Agreements will provide their prior written consent for us to engage in additional financing involving the issuance of our securities as set forth above. 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 Registered Public Accounting Firm Has Stated There is Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue As a Going Concern, Which May Hinder Our Ability to Obtain Future Financing.
In their report dated November 11, 2006 on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, our independent registered public accounting firm stated that our recurring losses from operations and our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2005 raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Since December 31, 2005, we have continued 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 and stockholders’ deficiency increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
Any Future Acquisitions Could Disrupt Our Existing Business and Harm Our Financial Position.
An element of our growth strategy includes the acquisition of companies which we believe have synergistic business models. Acquisitions entail a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect business and operating results. Such risks would include problems integrating the acquired operations, technologies or products; diversion of management's time and attention from core businesses; difficulties in retaining business relations with suppliers and customers of the acquired company; risks associated with entering markets in which our management lacks prior experience, and potential loss of key employees from the acquired company.
The Continuously Adjustable Conversion Price Feature of our Secured Convertible Notes May Have a Depressive Effect on the Price of Our Common Stock.
Once this registration statement is declared effective, the secured convertible notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a 40% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling stockholders convert and sell material amounts of common stock could have an adverse effect on our stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of secured convertible notes and warrants, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
The Issuance of Shares Upon Conversion of the Secured Convertible Notes and Exercise of Outstanding Warrants May Cause Immediate and Substantial Dilution to Our Existing Stockholders.
The issuance of shares upon conversion of the secured convertible notes and exercise of warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the selling stockholders may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion.
In The Event That Our Stock Price Declines, The Shares Of Common Stock Allocated For Conversion Of The Secured Convertible Notes and Registered Pursuant To This Prospectus May Not Be Adequate And We May Be Required to File A Subsequent Registration Statement Covering Additional Shares. If The Shares We Have Allocated And Are Registering Herewith Are Not Adequate And We Are Required To File An Additional Registration Statement, We May Incur Substantial Costs In Connection Therewith.
Based on our current market price and the potential decrease in our market price as a result of the issuance of shares upon conversion of the secured convertible notes, we have made a good faith estimate as to the amount of shares of common stock that we are required to register and allocate for conversion of the secured convertible notes. Accordingly, we have allocated 18,000,000 shares to cover the conversion of the secured convertible notes. In the event that our stock price decreases, the shares of common stock we have allocated for conversion of the secured convertible notes and are registering hereunder may not be adequate. If the shares we have allocated to the registration statement are not adequate and we are required to file an additional registration statement, we may incur substantial costs in connection with the preparation and filing of such registration statement.
If We Are Required for any Reason to Repay Our Outstanding Secured Convertible Notes, We Would Be Required to Deplete Our Working Capital, If Available, Or Raise Additional Funds. Our Failure to Repay the Secured Convertible Notes, If Required, Could Result in Legal Action Against Us, Which Could Require the Sale of Substantial Assets.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock.
Our stock was recently delisted from the OTCBB.
Our stock was delisted from the Over the Counter Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“OTCBB”). Our common stock is currently quoted on the Pink Sheets, LLC under the symbol “MLXO.PK.” Pink Sheets LLC is a privately owned quotation service for over the counter securities. It is neither a Securities and Exchange Commission Registered Stock Exchange nor an NASD broker/dealer system. Pink Sheets is considered a Non-exclusive Securities Information Processor and an Interdealer Quotation System, for which registration is not required under current securities laws. Historically, our stock had been quoted on the OTCBB, however on July 5, 2005 we announced our temporary voluntarily removal from the OTCBB. Due to previous financial constraints on the Company we were unable to remain current with our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “’34 Act”) We are in the process of becoming current with our filings, which will enable us to file a 15(c)(2)(11) for quotation of our common stock on the OTCBB; however there can be no assurances as to when the 15 (c)(2)(11) will be approved or whether it will be approved at all. This delisting will likely reduce the liquidity of the Company’s securities, could cause investors not to trade in the Company’s securities and result in a lower stock price, and could have an adverse effect on the Company.
If We Fail to Remain Current on Our Reporting Requirements, We Could be unable to get listed on 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, 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 unable to get listed on the OTC Bulletin Board or keep beenig listed on 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.

Below is a table indicating the range of high and low transaction price for the common stock for each quarterly period within the most recent two (2) fiscal years. The information reflects prices between dealers, and does not include retail markup, markdown, or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. However, the market for shares of our common stock is extremely limited and only commenced in the third quarter of 2000. No assurance can be given that any established trading market for our common stock will develop or be maintained. If such a market develops in the future, resales of “unregistered” and “restricted” shares of common stock by members of management or others may have a substantial adverse impact on any such public market. See the heading “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities,” and the caption “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” of this Report.

The offer and sale of these securities are believed to have been exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Sections 3(b) and/or 4(2) thereof, and from similar applicable states’ securities laws, rules and regulations exempting the offer and sale of these securities by available state exemptions from registration.
In July 2006, the Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its attorneys for legal services. On the date of issuance, the Company will reflect as expenses for legal fees, approximately $15,000 (the market value of the shares on the date of the issuance).
Also in July 2006, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to another attorney in connection with services provided in the Arbitration with Mr. Arnold and Investor Relations Services. On the date of issuance, the Company will reflect as expenses for legal fees, approximately $20,000 (the market value of the shares on the date of the issuance.
In August 2006, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares to one of its vendors in partial payment for the balance due to the vendor for materials.

The value was expensed as incurred as there was no vesting period. In August 2006, options to purchase 8,900,000 options were exercised in exchange for $178,000.
In March 2006, the Company issued 477,500 shares of common stock to employees.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
Some of the information in this report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
· | discuss our future expectations; |
· | contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and |
· | state other "forward-looking" information. |
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
General Overview
We are designers and manufacturers of high quality customized and standard plastic components. We provide precision products manufactured with state-of-the-art equipment using only the finest materials meeting or exceeding our rigorous standards.
MICHELEX DIVISION
Michelex Division imports, manufactures and sells plastic injection molded media packaging products. Our products also consist of paper, vinyl, tyvek and board mailer-based media packaging for use with CD and DVD media. This is the larger of our two (2) divisions in terms of revenues, personnel, and infrastructure. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, this division accounted for approximately 70% of total Company sales. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, this division accounted for approximately 85% of total Company sales.
MICHELE AUDIO.
Michele Audio is involved primarily in the duplication and packaging of music and spoken word communication products. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, this division accounted for approximately 30% of total Company sales. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, this division accounted for approximately 15% of total Company sales.
During 2005 and 2006, we have made a significant effort to obtain additional financing. These financings have included the mortgaging of certain properties, the obtaining of additional lines of credit and the factoring of our receivables. We have also refinanced a portion of our equipment and properties in what we believe will be beneficial to its future cash flow. In addition, a number of the debenture issuances have been converted into common stock.
In July 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several investors whereby the Company would issue an aggregate of $1,200,000 in 6% convertible secured notes and warrants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The notes are due on July 28, 2009 and may be converted into common stock at any time prior to maturity at the option of the holder. The loan may be converted at a conversion price which is the lesser of $.20 or a discounted average trading price of the shares (the discount being dependent on the meeting of certain registration conditions). The holder is limited in the conversions prior to maturity date to the greater of $60,000 per calendar month or the average daily dollar volume calculated during the ten business days prior to conversion. In addition, the agreement puts limitations on certain types of transactions. In July 2006, the Company closed on the first portion of the notes aggregating $400,000. The Company will receive an additional $400,000 upon the filing of this Registration Statement and an additional $400,000 immediately after effectiveness.
In June 2006, the Company entered into a $40,000 secured promissory note with Ayuda Funding Corp. The note incurs interest at the rate of 10% per annum and is due on June 16, 2007. The note can be converted at any time at the option of the holder, into common shares of the Company at the lesser of $.01 per share or 80% of the average closing bid price for the ten days preceding the conversion date.
In June 2006, the Company obtained additional mortgage financing totaling $500,000 from a separate lender. Borrowings under the mortgage which is due June 30, 2007 incur interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Company is required to make payments under the mortgage of $4,167 per month.
In 2006, Michele Audio and Wells Fargo entered into an agreement to settle the debt owed to Wells Fargo. In April 2005, Michele Audio and Wells Fargo entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) whereby the balances due under the line of credit were accelerated causing Michele Audio to seek alternative financing to repay the borrowings. Pursuant to the agreement, Michele Audio agreed to make payments of $1,025,000 in June 2006 (the “June Payment”), $1,150,000 in August 2006 (the “August Payment”) and $250,000 in December 2006 and interest only payments at the prime rate on the remaining unpaid balance until the final payment is made in December 2006. The June Payment and August Payment including the interest only payments have been made.
In May 2006, the Company entered into a sale leaseback agreement with an unrelated third party. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company sold certain of its assets for $1,200,000. As a condition of the agreement, the Company agreed to lease the assets pursuant to a five year lease at a rental of $19,583 per month plus an additional rent factor equal to the 6.5% over the prime rate of the unpaid remaining rental. The Company has the additional option to purchase the assets anytime after the first twelve months for an amount equal to the remaining unpaid lease payments plus $117,500.
In April 2006, the Company refinanced several of its properties in Massena, New York through a mortgage agreement totaling $1,200,000. The loan, which has an original due date of April 2007, incurs interest at the greater of 13% per annum or the prime rate plus 6% per annum. If all payments are made timely, the due date on the loan may be extended for an additional twelve months. The mortgage is guaranteed by an officer of the Company. In addition, as an additional incentive to loan the funds, the Company granted a warrant to the mortgage holder to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.02 per share. The warrant is exercisable anytime after April 24, 2006 for a period of one (1) year.
Our revenues decreased from $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Management believes that this decrease was the result of Wells Fargo canceling our Line of Credit and demanding full payment of the term loan, totaling approximately $3,900,000.
In June 2005, Michele Audio entered into an agreement with Pittsford to amend its existing promissory notes and convert the loan into a term loan. The amended note will incur interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and is payable in monthly installments including interest of $7,720 through July 1, 2008. The note may be prepaid at any time and if prepaid prior to July 1, 2006, Pittsford agrees to forgive $25,000 of the principle amount outstanding. The loan is secured by certain of Michele Audio’s properties as well as certain of the properties of MPG Development LLC (“MPG”) located in Massena, New York. The note is guaranteed by MPG as will as by certain officers of Michele Audio. As of December 31, 2005, Michele Audio owes $794,644 to Pittsford.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a one (1) year account receivable purchase agreement with Commercial Capital Lending, LLC (“CCL”). Pursuant to the agreement, CCL agrees to purchase up to 80% of the eligible accounts receivable from the Company. The Company may be required to repurchase accounts sold to CCL under certain conditions. The Company is required to pay interest at the rate of prime plus one percent on 80% of the face amount of the accounts purchased. In addition, the Company is required to pay a servicing fee totaling .6% (six tenths of one percent) of the net face amount of the open receivables for each 15 days the account is open. The agreement, among other provisions, is secured by all personal property excluding inventory and equipment.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a secured convertible debenture for $150,000 with the brother of one of the officer/directors. The debenture incurs interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is payable in monthly installments including interest totaling $3,041 through June 2010. The mortgage is secured by one of the Company’s properties as well as the home of the officer/director. The Company has not made the required payments under the mortgage. The Company has recorded a beneficial conversion feature totaling $50,000, which was recorded as a discount on the debentures and are being amortized over the term of the related debenture as additional interest expense. In June 2006, the note and accrued interest were converted into 8,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
In May 2005, the Company entered into a lease for equipment under capital lease arrangements with Franklin Funding, Inc. Pursuant to the lease, among other provisions, the lessor retains actual title to the leased property until the termination of the lease, at which time the property can be purchased for one dollar. The lease dated May 17, 2005 is for certain equipment located in the Salt Lake City facilities. The term of the lease is forty months with monthly payments of $7,755 which is equal to the cost to amortize $250,000 over the lease term at an interest rate of approximately 17% per annum. The Company had obtained the lease and related underlying equipment through an assumption agreement with one of the Company’s vendors. The vendor declared bankruptcy in 2006. Pursuant to a settlement agreement in June 2006 with Franklin Funding, the Company gave up possession of the equipment and cancelled the lease with Franklin Funding.
In April and May 2005, the Company transferred certain equipment in exchange for the repayment of the existing debt on the equipment to a corporation controlled by the brother of one of the Company’s officers. The Company subsequently leased back the equipment. Pursuant to the two separate two-year lease agreements, the Company is required to make monthly payments totaling $3,000 and $2,000 per month, respectively. The Company has not made any of the required lease payments pursuant to the agreement.
In April, 2005 Wells Fargo cancelled our line of credit and demanded full payment of the term loan totaling $3,900,000. Management believes that this was the result of a dispute between the Company and Wells Fargo regarding a financing deal between the Company and Argilus Capital LLC that was not completed.
The Line of Credit with Wells Fargo was an ongoing relationship that was renewed in March, 2005. At that time, the Company incurred a charge of approximately $37,000 for the renewal and there was no indication of any problems. As such, the cancellation of the credit line and demand for payment was completely unexpected by management.
The Company’s arrangement with Wells Fargo was an asset based lending arrangement and as of the cancellation date in April 2005, Wells Fargo proceeded to retain all of the Company’s cash as it came in. This prevented the Company from operating and essentially put the Company in a “shut down mode” with the majority of the work force being laid off and the Company operating at a very limited capacity. This had a large impact on the Company’s customer base.
In order to keep the Company solvent, management obtained capital through the sale of assets and property. This resulted in a significant decline in our fixed assets balance from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005. In addition, loans were obtained from officers and related parties.
In January 2005, Michele Audio entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Ringsport, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, Michele Audio may borrow up to one million dollars ($1,000,000) for a term of one (1) year. The line bears interest at the rate of prime plus one percent. The line is collateralized by the cash, marketable securities and investments of Michele Audio. In 2005, Michele Audio borrowed $50,000 under the line.
Our efforts in 2004 and 2005 were spent on a number of financing deals that ultimately did not come to fruition. Management did not obtain financing until April 2006 causing revenues to suffer in 2005.
In November 2004, we signed a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP (“Cornell”) whereby Cornell agreed to purchase, during the next two (2) years, up to $10,000,000 of our common stock. We have not borrowed any funds under the agreement.
In October 2004, we entered into a Collateral Share Agreement (the “Collateral Share Agreement”) with Ginette and Thomas Gramuglia the President and Vice President of the Company at that time. The Collateral Share Agreement called for the Company to issue to Thomas Gramuglia and Ginette Gramuglia 3,000,000 shares each of the Company’s common stock as consideration for their continuing personal guarantees of certain of the Company’s loan obligations. Ownership of the collateral shares remain with the Company unless an event of default occurs under the guaranteed loans set forth in the Collateral Share Agreement, however Tom and Ginette Gramuglia have voting rights for the shares during the term of the Collateral Share Agreement. Additionally, the Collateral Share Agreement stipulates that either Thomas or Ginette Gramuglia have the option to purchase the collateral shares at either $.24 (twenty-four cents) per share or the average closing bid price for the shares for any five (5) day trading period during the term of the Collateral Share Agreement. The Collateral Share Agreement further indicates that the Company may from time to time transfer ownership of the collateral shares to Thomas Gramuglia pursuant to his employment agreement and applicable securities laws. The term of the Collateral Share Agreement is the shorter of 10 years or the term of the loan guarantees.
In September 2003, Michele Audio entered into a short-term note agreement with Pittsford Capital Mortgage Partners, LLC (“Pittsford”) for $775,000. The note, which was due September 17, 2004, unless repaid sooner, bears interest at the rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum. Interest only payments are due monthly.
In March 2002, Michele Audio entered into a $7,000,000 revolving note agreement (the “Note Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. (“Wells Fargo”) for working capital and issuance of letters of credit. Interest was payable monthly at Well’s Fargo’s then base rate plus 3%. The note was payable on demand. At December 31, 2004 total borrowings under the Note Agreement totaled $1,666,319 placing Michele Audio in default. In April 2004, the Note Agreement was amended to change certain of the provisions including the formula used to calculate the funds available for borrowing and settlement of certain default charges.
Competition.
Two (2) of our competitors in the plastics and packaging industry went out of out of business. We believe that this will give us an opportunity to regain the market share that was lost in 2005 and 2006.
Significant Income or Loss.
In 2005, there was no significant income or loss arising from our continuing operations. In 2006, we incurred charges related to options offered in exchange for outstanding loans due. These are one time charges that will be incurred in 2006.
Issuance of Unregistered Stock
In July 2006, the Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its attorneys for legal services. On the date of issuance, the Company will reflect as expenses for legal fees, approximately $15,000 (the market value of the shares on the date of the issuance).
Also in July 2006, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to another attorney in connection with services provided in the Arbitration with Mr. Arnold and Investor Relations Services. On the date of issuance, the Company will reflect as expenses for legal fees, approximately $20,000 (the market value of the shares on the date of the issuance.
In August 2006, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares to one of its vendors in partial payment for the balance due to the vendor for materials.
In April 2006, the Company granted to officers of the Company, options to purchase an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $.02 per share. The options may be exercised after April 15, 2006 and expire after April 15, 2011. The Company valued the warrants at $494,119 using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The value was expensed as incurred as there was no vesting period. In August 2006, options to purchase 8,900,000 options were exercised in exchange for $178,000.
In March 2006, the Company issued 472,500 shares of common stock to employees.
BUSINESS
Overview.
Michelex Corporation (“Michelex” or the “Company”) was formed on September 29, 2003 as a Utah corporation pursuant to an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of our predecessor Highway One-OWEB, Inc. (“Highway One”). We are the designers and manufacturers of high quality customized and standard plastic components. We provide precision products manufactured with state-of-the-art equipment using only the finest materials meeting or exceeding our rigorous standards.
On February 7, 2003 Highway One entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Peter Chandler, Highway One’s sole director and president, and Benjamin Hansel. Mr. Chandler beneficial owned 2,000,000 shares of Highway One’s common stock constituting approximately 85.2% of the issued and outstanding shares. As consideration for Mr. Hansel’s agreement to serve as director and executive officer of Highway One's and for payment of all costs and expenses associated with the transaction, Highway One issued 20,000,000 “unregistered” and “restricted” shares of common stock to Mr. Hansel.
To date our Company consists of two (2) primary businesses:
| · | MICHELEX DIVISION - began operations in September 1983 (“Michelex Division”). Our primary business is manufacturing, importing and distributing Optical Media Packaging products. We also produce, import, and distribute a complete line of plastic injection molded multimedia packaging products. |
| · | MICHELE AUDIO DIVISION - began operations in April 1972 as a New Jersey corporation (“Michele New Jersey”) and became our wholly owned subsidiary in 2003. Our primary business is replication services for the spoken words industry. We also own a large catalogue of music which we intend to market. |
Michele Audio Division (“Michele Audio”) was organized on July 23, 2003, as the result of an effective merger by and among Michele New Jersey, Highway One, and Michele Audio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Plan”). Michele Audio stockholders received a total of 10,392,000 “unregistered” and “restricted” shares of Highway One’s common stock in exchange for all of their shares of common stock of Michele Audio (the “Exchange Shares”). After the cancellation of 19,750,000 shares of common stock issued to Mr. Hansel pursuant to the Plan, the Exchange Shares represented approximately eighty percent (80%) of Highway One’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Michele Audio subsequently changed its fiscal year from February 28 to December 31.
We previously owned Hindsight Records, Inc. (“Hindsight”) which was acquired through an Agreement and Plan of Merger on December 30, 2004, by and among the Company, Hindsight, Stradivari, Inc. and an employee of the Company who was also the mother of one of the officer/director’s children (“Purchaser”). The Company purchased the outstanding shares of Hindsight and Stradivari for $800,000 and issued 100,000 shares of our common stock. We also assumed all of Hindsight’s obligations under $1,000,000 5% secured convertible debentures due December 29, 2006. In December 2005 however the Purchaser reacquired the shares of Hindsight, previously sold to the Company in December 2004, in exchange for canceling the $800,000 promissory note owed to the Purchaser.
The Business.
We are the designers and manufacturers of high quality customized and standard plastic components providing precision products manufactured with state-of-the-art equipment using only the finest materials. We believe that our businesses along with superior customer satisfaction have positioned us to be at the forefront of the media and replication industry.
Michelex Division.
Michelex Division sells and distributes a broad range of paper, vinyl, tyvek, and board mailer based multimedia packaging products. We also manufacture and import a wide range of plastic components used by the multimedia Optical Disc Industry. Our products are sold and primarily distributed through our own Company sales representatives. We service our customers from our facilities in Massena, New York and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as from several public warehouses located throughout the United States.
| · | Our principal product is the CD Jewel box. Our primary market is in the United States. Recently, two (2) of our major competitors have gone out of business. Our product is sold directly by our in house sales team, which we plan to expand in the near future. We have just completed our own retail website www.michelexmedia.com. |
| · | We are expecting commencing production of our “5.2 jewel case ultra slim” in the last quarter of this year. |
| · | We believe that low electrical power and reasonable labor costs allow us to compete favorably with many of our competitors. We also believe that going forward the secret to our success will be bringing our facilities up to eighty percent (80%) operational level. We are expecting to achieve this goal once the Company finishes financing to allow us sufficient working capital. Our goal in 2007, is to regain the market share that we believe was lost in 2005 and 2006, due to a conflict with our senior lender. |
| · | Our primary raw material for our plastic products is polypropylene and polystyrene. The cost of these materials is directly related to the cost of a barrel of oil. We are subject to price fluctuation that is beyond our control. |
| · | We had approximately four hundred (400) accounts throughout the United States and Canada two (2) years ago. We are aggressively trying to recapture these accounts. Our “Made in the USA” products have a very good following and we hope to use this to our advantage. |
Governmental Regulations.
The primary governmental regulations affecting Michelex Division are related to tariffs levied on products that Michelex Division domestically produces to compete within various market segments. In addition, Michelex Division is subject to federal state and local laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship and health and sanitation requirements. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all of such laws.
As the cost of compliance with environmental laws has not been significant, Michelex Division does not maintain detailed records of these expenses.
Employees.
As of December 31, 2005 Michelex Division had a total of 15 employees; of this amount, 15 were employed full-time.
Michele Audio.
Michele Audio provides state of the art duplication, packaging, and fulfillment services for Cassette, CD, and DVD based products. Michele Audio also operates both a recording and mastering studio through which it provides audio restoration, editing, and mastering services. Additionally, Michele Audio libraries and controls our catalog of music and spoken word recordings which we license to other companies.
| · | Our principal market is the spoken word industry. We provide cassettes and CD replication for various book publishers, primarily in the northeast. |
| · | Our distribution for replication services is directly to the customers. Our music division distributes its products through regional distributors. We are currently working on a direct retail website to expose our music catalogue directly to the consumer. The Company will also explore granting download rights to internet sites that specialize in that service. |
| · | We intend to place a greater emphasis on our music division because the replication of cassettes has diminished greatly. Cassettes were Michele Audio’s main business. The music business offers us a greater margin and higher revenues per unit. We believe that our catalogue has great potential that has not yet been realized. |
Michele Audio is a party to numerous royalty and licensing agreements of various dates and durations.
Governmental Regulations.
The primary governmental regulations affecting Michele Audio are related to tariffs on products that Michele Audio imports or those levied on products which Michele Audio domestically produces for competition in various market segments. An increase in the tariffs on products produced offshore would enhance Michele’s Audio domestically produced products ability to compete more effectively on price; however it would also increase the cost of Michele Audio import products. Conversely, a decrease in tariffs on products produced offshore would have the opposite effect. Any change would require Michele Audio to evaluate and possibly adjust its product mix. In addition Michele Audio is subject to federal state and local laws govern such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship and health and sanitation requirements. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all of such laws.
As the cost of compliance with environmental laws has not been significant, Michele Audio does not maintain detailed records of these expenses.
Employees.
As of December 31, 2005 Michele Audio had a total of 14 employees; of this amount, 13 were employed full-time.
HINDSIGHT RECORDS.
The thrilling discovery that there was a vast repertoire of Big Band music which had never been released to the public, led to the formation of Hindsight Records. When Wally Heider, a producer for the Company, learned that broadcasts of certain Big Band recordings had never been commercially released he decided to secure the licensing rights and transfer these one-of-a-kind originals to records and cassette tapes of the highest quality using state of the art equipment.
| · | Hindsight’s principal products are CDs and cassettes tapes of Big Band recordings. It also has expanded into well-known jazz artists and singers of the great standard songs such as Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney and Mel Torme. |
| · | Our products are sold primarily to independent records distributors. |
| · | Our main supplier is Michele Audio. |
| · | Hindsight Record’s owns numerous copyrights of its songs and recordings. |
In December 2005, Hindsight was re-acquired by the Purchaser in exchange for canceling the $800,000 promissory note owed to the Purchaser as part of the original purchase price.
Governmental Regulations.
Hindsight Records is subject to federal state and local laws which govern such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship and health and sanitation requirements. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all of such laws.
Employees.
In December 2005 prior to the reacquisition by the purchaser, Hindsight Records had a total of two (2) employees; of this amount, two (2) were employed full-time.

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 nonassessable.
TRANSFER AGENT
We have engaged Colonial Stock Transfer located in 66 Exchange Place Salt Lake City, UT 84111 as independent transfer agent or registrar.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE
Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Under the terms of this offering, the shares of common stock offered may be resold without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, except that any shares purchased by our "affiliates," as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, may generally only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a shareholder, including one of our affiliates, may sell shares of common stock after at least one year has elapsed since such shares were acquired from us or our affiliate. The number of shares of common stock which may be sold within any three-month period is limited to the greater of: (i) one percent of our then outstanding common stock, or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed under Rule 144. Certain other requirements of Rule 144 concerning availability of public information, manner of sale and notice of sale must also be satisfied. In addition, a shareholder who is not our affiliate, who has not been our affiliate for 90 days prior to the sale, and who has beneficially owned shares acquired from us or our affiliate for over two years may resell the shares of common stock without compliance with many of the foregoing requirements under Rule 144.
COMMISSION’S POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by law, our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser;
· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
· privately-negotiated transactions;
· broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
· a combination of any such methods of sale; and
· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or Regulation S, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling stockholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholders, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.
The selling stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholders defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations under such act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the selling stockholders or any other such person. In the event that the selling stockholders are deemed affiliated purchasers or distribution participants within the meaning of Regulation M, then the selling stockholders will not be permitted to engage in short sales of common stock. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders, or their transferees or assignees, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
If the selling stockholders notify us that they have a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholders and the broker-dealer.
PENNY 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.
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.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. Assuming all the shares registered below are sold by the selling stockholders, none of the selling stockholders will continue to own any shares of our common stock.
We agreed to register for resale shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued to the selling stockholders or issuable upon conversion of the callable secured convertible notes payable to the selling stockholders listed below. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell or all of the common stock being registered.
Name | | Shares of Common Stock Included in Prospectus (1) (4) | | Beneficial Ownership Before the Offering** | | Percentage of Common Stock Owned Before Offering** | | Beneficial Ownership After the Offering (3) | | Percentage of Common Stock Owned After Offering (3) | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
AJW Offshore, Ltd. (2) | | Up to 22,125,000 shares of common stock | | 5,562,500 | | 4.99% | | *** | | *** | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
AJW Qualified Partners, LLC (2) | | Up to 11,250,000 shares of common stock | | 5,562,500 | | 4.99% | | *** | | *** | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
AJW Partners, LLC (2) | | Up to 3,637,500 shares of common stock | | 4,728,750 | | 3.32% | | *** | | *** | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC (2) | | Up to 487,500 shares of common stock | | 633,750 | | 0.45% | | *** | | *** | |
** These columns represent the aggregate maximum number and percentage of shares that the selling stockholders can own at one time (and therefore, offer for resale at any one time) due to their 4.99% limitation.
*** Less than 1%
The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholders has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholders has the right to acquire within 60 days. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the secured convertible notes is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of the common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table.
(1) Unless otherwise indicated, the selling stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the selling stockholders. Includes a good faith estimate of the shares issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible notes and exercise of warrants, based on current market prices. Because the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible notes is dependent in part upon the market price of the common stock prior to a conversion, the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon conversion will fluctuate daily and cannot be determined at this time. Under the terms of the secured convertible notes, if the secured convertible notes had actually been converted on or about July 2006, the secured convertible notes would have had a conversion price of $0.032. The actual number of shares of common stock offered in this prospectus, and included in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, includes such additional number of shares of common stock as may be issued or issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible notes and exercise of the related warrants by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction involving the common stock, in accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933. However the selling stockholders have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert their secured convertible notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock set forth in the table for the selling stockholders exceeds the number of shares of common stock that the selling stockholders could own beneficially at any given time through their ownership of the secured convertible notes and the warrants. In that regard, the beneficial ownership of the common stock by the selling stockholder set forth in the table is not determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(2) The selling stockholders are affiliates of each other because they are under common control. AJW Partners, LLC is a private investment fund that is owned by its investors and managed by SMS Group, LLC. SMS Group, LLC, of which Mr. Corey S. Ribotsky is the fund manager, has voting and investment control over the shares listed below owned by AJW Partners, LLC. AJW Offshore, Ltd., formerly known as AJW/New Millennium Offshore, Ltd., is a private investment fund that is owned by its investors and managed by First Street Manager II, LLC. First Street Manager II, LLC, of which Corey S. Ribotsky is the fund manager, has voting and investment control over the shares owned by AJW Offshore, Ltd. AJW Qualified Partners, LLC, formerly known as Pegasus Capital Partners, LLC, is a private investment fund that is owned by its investors and managed by AJW Manager, LLC, of which Corey S. Ribotsky and Lloyd A. Groveman are the fund managers, have voting and investment control over the shares listed below owned by AJW Qualified Partners, LLC. New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC, is a private investment fund that is owned by its investors and managed by First Street Manager II, LLC. First Street Manager II, LLC, of which Corey S. Ribotsky is the fund manager, has voting and investment control over the shares owned by New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC. We have been notified by the selling stockholders that they are not broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers and that they believe they are not required to be broker-dealers.
(3) Assumes that all securities registered will be sold.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Michelex Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Michelex Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Michelex Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and the results of their consolidated operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred significant recurring losses. The realization of a major portion of its assets is dependent upon its ability to meet its future financing needs, and the success of its future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements of Michelex Corporation ("Michelex") contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
The results of operations for the three months and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Except as stated below, the accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in first-out method) or market. Merchandise shipped from overseas is inventoried, and the corresponding liability recorded, upon the Company’s taking title to the inventory. Components of inventories at December 31, 2005 are as follows:
Raw materials | | $ | 317,150 | |
Work in process | | | 6,900 | |
Finished goods | | | 402,674 | |
| | $ | 726,724 | |
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized when product is shipped from the Company’s facilities.
Income Taxes
The Company reports income taxes based upon Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109) “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of other assets and liabilities.
Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts at high credit quality financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. At December 31, 2005, the Company had no uninsured cash. The Company may exceed the insurance limits at times during the year.
Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in the United States. Consequently, the Company’s ability to collect the amounts due from customers is affected by economic fluctuations in the country.
Fixed Assets
The value of fixed assets is at historical cost as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line over the expected useful life of the asset as follows:
Building and improvements | | | 10 to 31 years | |
Equipment | | | 5 to 7 years | |
Vehicles | | | 5 years | |
Masters | | | 3 years | |

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Land and Building Held for Investment
Property held for investments consists of land not used in the business in Massena, NY as well as property for which the Company plans to renovate and rent.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising:
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share:
The Company calculates earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share was computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and is adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants. The Company had a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, and accordingly, potential common share equivalents are excluded from this computation, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The agreements were effective June 1, 2003 and they both expire on May 31, 2004. The agreements called for certain services, which are enumerated in the agreements, to be provided by Mr. Arnold and Investor Relations Services for the benefit of the Company. As compensation for these services the Company agreed to issue both Investor Relations Services and Mr. Arnold preferred shares of stock in Michele Audio Corporation of America.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, contract arrangements, statute, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 19
(3) It will file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, it will treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.
(5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, it will treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement, and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
If the small business issuer will request acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement under Rule 461 of the Securities Act include the following:
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue
(5) For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, it will treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
If the small business issuer is subject to Rule 430C, include the following:
(1) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
