VALLEY FORGE COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of the Business
The Company’s primary operating subsidiary has been Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, which was incorporated in Pennsylvania on November 21, 1996. On August 7, 2007, Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, was re-domiciled as a Florida corporation and changed its name to Valley Forge Detection Systems, Inc. (“VFDS”). Simultaneously, the business segments of the former Pennsylvania company were split into new Florida corporations, with VFDS’ aerospace segment assigned to Valley Forge Aerospace, Inc. (“VFA”); VFDS’ personnel screening technologies assigned to Valley Forge Imaging, Inc. (“VFI”), and VFDS’ development and commercialization of potential new product lines assigned to Valley Forge Emerging Technologies, Inc. (“VFET”). The Company is the 100% shareholder of its four subsidiaries.
The primary activity of VFI is to market and sell a personnel screening device known as ODIN. On April 30, 2007, the Company signed an agreement with a distributor to become a re-seller of the ODIN. The reseller agreement was terminated in January 2009. However, in February 2009 the Company obtained authorization directly from the ODIN manufacturer to sell ODIN, and the Company has continued its efforts to market and sell ODIN.
VFA is actively engaged in the design and manufacture of attitude control instruments for small satellites, in particular, mini momentum reaction wheels based on VFA’s propriety composite and bearing technology.
VFET evaluates miscellaneous scientific technologies not matching the Company’s aerospace and anti-terrorism business segments for potential commercialization.
Between 1996 and 2003, through VFDS, the Company won numerous contracts to produce various mechanical devices for special projects. Since September 11, 2001 the Company has focused much of its energy on the development and commercialization of its counter-terrorism products. Such products include an advanced detection capability for illicit narcotics, explosives, and bio-chemical weapons using photo-nuclear reactions to initiate secondary gamma quanta the result of which is a unique and distinguishable signal identifying each component of a substance. This product is known as the THOR LVX photonuclear detection system (“THOR”). The development and commercialization of THOR is the present focus of VFDS.
On July 14, 2003, a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (“CRADA”) was executed between the Company and the Regents of the University of California’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (“LLNL”), a laboratory funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”). The New Independent State of the former Soviet Union, by the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, is also participating in the CRADA.
The CRADA is presently scheduled for completion in 2009. The Company will participate with DOE in the setting of performance criteria for THOR that the Company believes will enable THOR to be offered for sale to agencies of the United States and elsewhere assuming THOR’s successful performance as compared to criteria adopted by DOE. Meanwhile, the Company has commenced efforts to commercialize THOR for sale in the international transportation security market.
On July 6, 2006, Quetzal Capital 1, Inc., a Florida corporation (“QC1”) entered into a share exchange agreement with VFDS’ predecessor Pennsylvania corporation. Under the share exchange agreement, QC1 issued 40,000,000 shares of its common stock to VFDS shareholders for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of VFDS. For financial accounting purposes, the exchange of stock was treated as a recapitalization of VFDS with the former shareholders of QC1 retaining 5,000,000 shares (or approximately 11%) of the public company. Prior to the merger, QC1 was a reporting shell corporation with no operations. The share exchange was approved by QC1 and its sole shareholder, Quetzal Capital Funding I, Inc. (“QCF1”), and by VFDS’ board of directors and a majority of its shareholders. QC1 changed its name to Valley Forge Composite Technolo gies, Inc., a Florida corporation, and is referred to throughout this report as the “Company.”
Several related agreements were also made with parties associated or affiliated with QC1 in connection with the approval of the share exchange. These agreements involved the approval of a consulting agreement and a warrant agreement with Coast To
7
Coast Equity Group, Inc. (“CTCEG”), a company owned by the same shareholders who owned QC1’s sole corporate shareholder, QCF1, and a registration rights agreement for QCF1, CTCEG and private placement unit holders. On March 14, 2007, QCF1 was dissolved by unanimous decision of its three shareholders, Charles J. Scimeca, George Frudakis, and Tony N. Frudakis. This resulted in the Company gaining two additional shareholders due to the splitting of QCF1's share of the Company’s common stock between the three individual shareholders of QCF1.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The attainment of sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations is dependent on certain future events. These conditions 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 the outcome of this uncertainty (See Note 2).
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income
The Company follows the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income, comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, security deposits, due to shareholders, accounts payables, accrued expenses and a convertible debenture. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair value due to their short term maturities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash investments in high credit quality financial institutions. At various times, the Company has deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts. At September 30, 2009, the Company’s cash deposits the FDIC insured limits of $250,000 by $612,553. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term securities purchased with a maturity of nine months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2009, the Company held no cash equivalent securities.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Computers and Equipment | 5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs of the assets are charged to expense as incurred.
Loan Fees
Loan fees are stated at cost. Amortization of loan fees is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the loans.
Revenue Recognition
The Company only recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, receipt of goods by the customer occurs, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and upon the customer acceptance of the goods.
Persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists upon the Company’s receipt of a signed purchase order from the customer, the Company’s shipment of the goods as specified in the purchase order and the customer’s receipt of the goods ordered.
A sales agreement is initiated when the customer submits a signed purchase order which states the product(s) ordered, price, quantity and the terms and conditions of sale. Acceptance occurs upon the earlier of: (1) the Company’s receipt of a written acceptance of the goods from the customer; or (2) expiration of the time period stated in each purchase order for final payment which may vary with each order. The customer has a right of return from the date that the shipment occurs until the final payment date stated in the purchase order. Revenue is only recognized upon completion of product testing by the customer, but not later than 180 days after product shipment occurs.
Income Taxes
Under the asset and liability method of FASB Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, advertising was $123,420 and $88,313, respectively.
Loss per common share
In accordance with SFAS No 128 “Earnings Per Share,” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. For the periods below the Company excludes potentially dilutive securities such as convertible warrants and the convertible debenture from the loss per share calculations as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The following sets forth the computation of earnings per share.

Share Based Payments
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Under SFAS No. 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees or independent contractors are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or “SAB 107”. SAB 107 expresses views of the staff regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods. On April 14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R). Companies may elect to apply this statement either prospectively, or on a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under SFAS 123.
10
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company has fully adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and related interpretations as provided by SAB 107. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively. Prior to January 1, 2006, neither VFDS nor QC1 had any stock-based compensation plans. On August 27, 2009, the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan became effective. To date, no compensation has been paid pursuant to the 2008 Equity Compensation Plan.
On July 6, 2006 the Company granted 3,000,000 Class A warrants in connection with a two-year consulting agreement beginning July 6, 2006 to CTCEG. These warrants granted in connection with the consulting agreement include the following provisions: 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share when the per share market value closes at or above $1.00 for up to two years from the effective date of the registration statement registering the underlying shares; 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share when the per share market value closes at or above $1.50 for up to two years from the effective date of the registration statement registering the underlying shares; and, 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per share when the per share market value closes at or abov e $2.00 for up to two years from the effective date of the registration statement registering the underlying shares. On February 8, 2008, the Board of Directors extended the consulting and warranty agreement until May 13, 2010. A total of $569,800 was allocated to these warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: share price of $1.00; Strike prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.00 per share; Time to expiration (days) of 638; Expected volatility of 52.86%; no dividends; and an annual interest rate based on 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill of 4.81%. A reconciliation of these related warrants issued and outstanding at September 30, 2009 is as follows:

Warranties
Some of the Company’s product lines will be covered by an annual renewable warranty effective only with the purchase of the Company’s annual maintenance contract agreement. The Company expects the annual maintenance contract agreement fees will total 15% to 20% of the original purchase price of the products.
Revenue from periodic maintenance agreements shall be recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain, and collectability of the related receivable is probable.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “ Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard. Additionally, companies are required to provide enhanced disclosure regarding financial instruments in one of the categories, including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances separately for each major category of assets and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, which delays by one year the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain types of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. As a result, SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008, fo r financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, and on July 1, 2009, for non-recurring non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on July 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, with no material impact on its financial statements. The Company is currently determining what impact the application of SFAS 157 on July 1, 2009 for non-recurring non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value will have on its financial statements.
In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “ Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157, which the Company adopted as of July 1, 2008, in cases where a market is not active. The Company has considered the guidance provided by FSP 157-3 as of September 30, 2009, and the impact was not material.
11
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115, (“SFAS 159”), which permits an entity to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS 159 amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. The Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe the acceptance of SFAS 159 has a material impact on the financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161 requires additional disclosures related to the use of derivative instruments, the accounting for derivatives and the financial statement impact of derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will not impact the Company's financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 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 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.” We do not currently expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
In May of 2008, FASB issued FASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
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.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF No. 03-6-1”). Under FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,986,649 at September 30, 2009, net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $1,719,051 and cash provided in operations
12
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $371,816. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The attainment of sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations is dependent on certain future events. These conditions 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 the outcome of this uncertainty. Management may attempt to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering of its securities. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to improve sales volume and its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.
Since its inception in 1996, the Company was involved in the development and sales of advanced scientific technologies. Sales through the years were sporadic but had high margins. The Company’s limited financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its products and services to achieve consumer recognition. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan to generate increased revenues and to raise additional funds.
In 2003, the Company entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement for the development of the THOR system, which is more fully described in Note 1.
While the Company is attempting to increase sales in general, the growth has not been significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company also seeks the acquisition, development, and commercialization of other advanced technologies. The ultimate success of the Company in attaining sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations is dependent upon the successful development and commercialization of these advanced technologies including the THOR and Odin systems together with obtaining sufficient capital or financing to support management plans. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues and to raise additional funds provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – INCOME TAXES
There was no income tax expense for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 due to the Company’s net losses.
Under the asset and liability method of FASB Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has recorded a full valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets. Utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryfo rwards are limited based on changes in ownership as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Due to ongoing losses and the establishment of a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets, the Company did not record a tax provision for the period ended September 30, 2009.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At September 30, 2009 the Company owed Louis J. Brothers, the Company’s president and major shareholder, $216,558 for advances made to the Company. Such amount, which is included in the due to shareholders balance on the balance sheet at September 30, 2009 earns 6% annual interest compounded quarterly, and is due on demand.
On August 11, 2006, Coast to Coast Equity Group, Inc., a Company warrant holder, loaned the Company $42,000 as described in Note 6.
NOTE 5 - DESCRIPTION OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS
On September 1, 2006, the Company entered into a lease of 2,985 square feet of office space located at 50 E. River Center Boulevard, Suite 820, Covington, Kentucky. The term of the lease shall be for five years beginning on the first day of September, 2006 and ending on the last day of August, 2011.
13
Under the terms of the lease, the Company shall pay additional rent to cover operating expenses of the property at a pro rata share deemed to be 0.928%, which will total approximately $19,402 for the initial twelve months. These expenses are anticipated to increase at a 3% rate annually for the remaining term of the agreement.
On December 1, 2007, the Company entered into a lease of 2,700 square feet of rentable space located at 1895 Airport Exchange Blvd, Building A, Erlanger, Kentucky. The term of the lease shall be for 37 months beginning on the first day of December, 2007 and ending on the last day of December, 2010.
Under the terms of the lease, the Company shall pay additional rent to cover operating expenses of the property of approximately $349 per month. Rent expense for the period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $77,817 and $68,905, respectively.
The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments required under the lease as of September 30, 2009:

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
On August 11, 2006, the Company issued a convertible debenture to Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc. (“CTCEG”), in the amount of $42,000 in exchange for cash received. This debenture matures upon the earlier of twelve months from the date of the closing of the merger between VFDS and CTCEG, which occurred on July 6, 2006, or upon the date of an “event of default” which would include any proceedings by VFDS to seek protection due to insolvency. On August 10, 2007, the Company and CTCEG agreed to extend the agreement for an additional twelve months ending July 6, 2008. The stated interest rate is 4% per annum. The amounts due may be paid in cash or, upon mutual agreement of the parties, cash equivalents including but not limited to payment in the form of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.00 per share; or upon mutual agreement of the parties, CTCEG may apply amounts due toward the cash exercise of the 2,800,000 Class A warrants granted to CTCEG as stated in detail within the Consulting agreement as Share Based Payments which is described in Note 1. The loan is currently outstanding.
NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On July 6, 2006, the Company issued 3,000,000 Class A warrants in exchange for consulting services rendered. The Company valued these warrants at the fair market value on the dates of the grant as referred to in Note 1.
During the period August 2006 through November 2006, the Company sold in private placement transactions 1,296,500 units at $1.00 per unit which consist of 1 share of common stock and 1 Class B warrant which can be exercised at $1.50 per share within 6 months from the effective date of a registration statement registering the units and the underlying shares reserved for the exercise of the warrants. A registration statement was required to be filed within 30 days from the date that the Company attains a shareholder base of 35 shareholders. This filing occurred on November 14, 2006 and was declared effective on May 14, 2007. On September 23, 2008, the Class B warrants’ contractual expiration date of November 13, 2007 was extended to April 2, 2009 by decision of the board of directors and was not renewed thereafter.
The Company established a price protection provision relating to the selling unit holders of the private placement securities named in the registration statement. The provision states that parties to the agreement are entitled to receive additional stock or warrants if the Company sells shares of stock or warrants for less than $1.00 per share of common stock and $1.50 per warrant prior to the time limitations specified which are one (1) year from the effective date of the Registration Statement for common stock issued and six (6) months from the effective date of the Registration Statement for warrants issued. The Company does not anticipate that it will offer any additional securities which would cause this provision to become effective prior to the applicable time limitations of the provisions. Accordingly, the Company believes that the price protection provision will have no accounting impact.
Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc., and Charles J. Scimeca, George Frudakis, and Tony N. Frudakis (formerly the shareholders of Quetzal Capital Funding 1, Inc.), are protected from dilution of their percentage ownership of the Company up to May 14, 2010, by resolution of the Board on February 8, 2008, which extended the termination date of the registration rights agreement and other agreements with these shareholders. Non-dilution rights, as defined by the registration rights agreement (incorporated
14
by reference herein), mean that these parties shall continue to have the same percentage of ownership and the same percentage of voting rights of the class of the Company’s common stock regardless of whether the Company or its successors or its assigns may thereafter increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock or increase or decrease the number of shares issued and outstanding. The non-dilution rights, by the terms of the registration rights agreement, will continue in effect for a period of two years from the effective date of this registration statement and are assignable in private transactions, provided that the shares are not sold in market transactions. The Company does not anticipate that it will offer any additional securities which would cause this provision to become effective prior to the applicable time limitations of the provisions. Accordingly, the Company believes that the non-dilutio n provision will have no accounting impact.
Common Stock Warrants
On July 3, 2008, the Company secured a financing arrangement with MKM Opportunity Master Fund, LLC ("MKM") an unaffiliated accredited institutional investor. The financing consists of a $500,000 Convertible Note, with a conversion price of $0.50 per share, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per year, payable on a quarterly basis and has a term of three years due on July 3, 2011. In connection with the financing, MKM was also issued Series C Warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $1.61 per share. In connection with this financing arrangement, the Company recorded an initial debt discount of $500,000 to be amortized over the term of the note and charged $82,648 to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Subsequently, on May 27, 2009, the Company reduced the exercise price of the Series C warrants to $0.20 per share from $1.61 per share.

In connection with the common stock purchase, MKM Capital Advisors and the individual investors were issued Series F Warrants to purchase up to 1,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. A total of $302,600 was expensed to these warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: share price of $0.16; Strike price of $0.20 per share; Time to expiration (days) of 1,826; Expected volatility of 254.69%; no dividends; and an annual interest rate based on 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill of 2.72%. In addition, on May 27, 2009, the Company reduced the exercise price of the MKM Series D warrants to $0.20 per share from $0.75 per share.

NOTE 8- REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into on July 6, 2006, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the securities issued to CTCEG and to private securities purchasers (the unit purchasers), and to register for resale the 5,000,000 shares owned by Charles J. Scimeca, George Frudakis, and Tony N. Frudakis (formerly QCF1), no later than 30 days after the Company obtains a shareholder base of 35 shareholders, and to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective with the SEC within 180 days of the filing date. If the Company did not meet the scheduled filing date, it had agreed to pay liquidated damages as required in the registration rights agreement. Similar registration rights applied to the Company’s sales of securities in a private placement transaction o ccurring between August 2006 and November 2006. Management timely filed the Form SB-2 registration agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 14, 2006, and the SEC declared the registration effective on May 14, 2007, which was the first business day after the 180-day period expired. Accordingly, liquidated damages have not been accrued as of the balance sheet date. Nevertheless, the registration rights agreement with QCF1 expires on May 14, 2010 after being extended by Board resolution on February 8, 2008.
Pursuant to the terms of the August-November 2006 private placement agreement, the Company agreed to obtain a trading symbol from the NASD within three (3) months after the effective date of the Company’s registration statement registering the private placement securities, and, if it failed to do so, the Company agreed that it would undertake to locate and merge with a company having a public quote for its common stock within the seven (7) month period following the effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement, and, failing the ability to merge timely with a trading company, the Company had agreed to rescind the Purchaser’s investment. The Company obtained a trading symbol for its common stock on July 9, 2007. Accordingly, damages have not been accrued as of the balance sheet date.

However, since amounts may be due on demand and it is the Company’s intent to pay such balances in their entirety during 2009, such amounts have been classified as current.
The remaining accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist of ordinary administrative expenses which were incurred in the operations of the Company.
NOTE 13 – NOTES PAYABLE

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and other information presented elsewhere in this quarterly report and in conjunction with our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2009.
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation (MD&A) contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, or implied, by those forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words may, will, should, could, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, intends, potential, proposed, or continue or the negative of those terms. These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risk factors outlined below. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking stateme nts. Although we believe that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have relied on revenues, debt financing and sales of our common stock to satisfy our cash requirements. Between December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, our capital requirements have largely been met through sales of securities and products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received cash proceeds of $1,774,873. Of this amount, $335,500 was derived from a May 27, 2009 sale of 2,700,000 shares of common stock, $315,000 was derived from a product sale completed in June 2009 and $1,124,373 is deferred revenue. Until we are able to generate significant revenues from our core homeland security-related detection technologies, we anticipate being dependent on sales of securities and aerospace manufacturing orders to finance our ongoing capital requirements. For example, the Company through its subsidiary VFA, has received orders from an international company for various ae rospace products to be delivered over the next six months totaling more than $9,100,000 in revenue.
We have incurred losses for the past two fiscal years and had a net loss of $1,719,051 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our net gain of cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was offset by adjustments resulting in $371,816 net cash provided by operating activities, as compared with net cash used in operating activities of $447,737 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company had net cash used in investing activities of $2,199 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with $482,606 of net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company had $227,500 net cash provided from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, derived solely from proceeds from issuance of common stock and repayment of shareholder loan, as compared with $1,443,000 of net cash provided from financi ng activities for the period ended September 30, 2008, which was derived from exercise of warrants, issuance of common stock and shareholder loans, and offset by repayments of notes payable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had a net increase in cash of $597,117, resulting in $902,296 cash on hand, as compared with a net decrease in cash of $512,657, resulting in $601,313 cash on hand for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we received cash proceeds from sales of our common stock of $343,000.
Management intends to finance our 2009 operations primarily with the revenue from product sales and any cash short falls will be addressed through equity financing, if available. Management expects revenues will be realized but not to the point of profitability in the short term. We will need to continue to raise additional capital, both internally and externally, to cover cash shortfalls and to compete in our markets. At our current revenue levels management believes we will require an additional $1,000,000 during the next 12 months to satisfy our cash requirements of approximately $83,333 per month. These operating costs include cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, salaries and benefits and professional fees. We have sufficient financing in place to meet our expected cash requirements for the rest of 2009 but we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms for 2010. If we cannot ob tain financing to fund our operations in 2010, then we may be required to reduce our expenses and scale back our operations.
19
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company leases office and warehouse spaces in Covington, KY and Erlanger, KY under a five-year and 37 month non-cancelable operating lease, expiring August 2011 and December 2010, respectively. Base rent is $5,939 per month with an annual rent escalator of 3%. At September 30, 2009, future minimum payments for operating leases related to our office and manufacturing facilities were $125,938 through August 2011.
Our total current liabilities increased to $1,513,060 at September 30, 2009 compared to $615,415 at December 31, 2008. Our total current liabilities at September 30, 2009 included accounts payable and accrued expenses of $130,129, convertible debentures of $42,000, a loan from shareholder of $216,558 and deferred revenues of $1,124,373. Deferred revenues represent a cash deposit from a customer for the manufacture of momentum wheels to be delivered by the Company over the next six to twelve months.
Results of Operations
The following discussions are based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Valley Forge Composite Technologies and its subsidiaries. These charts and discussions summarize our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and 2008, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and notes thereto, included with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Our operating expenses have generally increased from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The major components of our operating expenses consist of selling and administrative expense and warrant expenses for the comparable reporting periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, our selling and administrative expenses were $888,476 and $1,025,806, respectively, while our warrant expenses were $446,223 and $142,450, respectively.
The Company only recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, receipt of goods by the customer occurs, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and upon the customer acceptance of the goods.
Persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists upon the Company’s receipt of a signed purchase order from the customer, the Company’s shipment of the goods as specified in the purchase order and the customer’s receipt of the goods ordered.
A sales agreement is initiated when the customer submits a signed purchase order which states the product(s) ordered, price, quantity and the terms and conditions of sale. Acceptance occurs upon the earlier of: (1) the Company’s receipt of a written acceptance of the goods from the customer; or (2) expiration of the time period stated in each purchase order for final payment which may vary with each order. The customer has a right of return from the date that the shipment occurs until the final payment date stated in the purchase order. Revenue is only recognized upon completion of product testing by the customer, but not later than 180 days after product shipment occurs.

Our total operating expense was $1,334,699 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $1,703,434 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Our average monthly cost of operations from January 2009 through September 2009 was $148,300.
At this rate, and barring any material changes to our capital requirements, we anticipate being able to sustain our operations for six months, at which time we will have to obtain additional capital funding. Thus, our ability to sustain ourselves on our current cash position depends almost entirely on: (1) how long the government approval process may take and how high the initial market demand is for the THOR system, and (2) how long it takes to realize revenue from sales of the ODIN unit; and (3) whether additional cash infusions are obtained via the exercise of outstanding warrants or from other sources. While the receipt of purchase orders for the THOR will dictate our initial production needs, the timing of the government approval process is largely out of our control. Likewise, we have just begun to market the ODIN system and do not have a forecast of how long it may take to realize revenues from any sales of such units.
Other than for general operational and payroll expenses, which may also include the payment of additional research and development and marketing expenses, the Company’s day-to-day operations are not expected to change materially until such time as we obtain the necessary government approvals to commence production and then the delivery of the first commercial THOR devices. We do not anticipate having significant additional research and development expenses during the next twelve months, but such expenses may be necessary to facilitate the demonstration of THOR’s compliance with as-yet unwritten Dept. of Energy performance criteria as a precursor to obtaining U.S. Government approvals before we can market the THOR system to agencies of the U.S. Government.
In the coming months, the Company will sharpen its estimates of its capital requirements based on the quantities of THOR and ODIN units ordered and based on reliable information enabling us to better predict when government approvals might be obtained for the THOR system.
Subsequent Events
Sales Contracts
From October 1, 2009 through November 13, 2009 the Company has recognized sales of $686,300 and a gross profit of $129,907 on items shipped. The recognition of these sales will increase accounts receivable by approximately $30,000 and reduce the deferred revenue by $165,743. The Company has an additional $9,100,000 in contracts for various aerospace products that it hopes to fulfill in the next six months.
In October 2009, three civil complaints were filed against the Company and its president Louis J. Brothers by shareholders in Florida and Utah and also by Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc., a former promoter and lender to the Company. See Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings”, below for additional details.
Description of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, Going Concern, and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
This section of our Form 10-Q contains a description of our critical accounting policies as they pertain to: the Company’s business as a going concern, our use of estimates, our fair valuation of financial instruments, our revenue recognition policy, and to the effect on our financial statements of recent accounting pronouncements. A more comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies, and certain additional accounting policies, can be found in Note 1 to the financial statements.
21
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company. The Company’s financial statements are consolidated with the results of its subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Our financial statements have been prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis. We base these estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At this point in our operations, subjective judgments do not have a material impact on our financial statements except as discussed in the next paragraph.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The attainment of sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations is dependent on certain future events. These conditions 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 the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, security deposits, due to shareholders, accounts payables, accrued expenses and a convertible debenture. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair value due to their short term maturities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company only recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, receipt of goods by the customer occurs, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and upon the customer acceptance of the goods.
Persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists upon the Company’s receipt of a signed purchase order from the customer, the Company’s shipment of the goods as specified in the purchase order and the customer’s receipt of the goods ordered.
A sales agreement is initiated when the customer submits a signed purchase order which states the product(s) ordered, price, quantity and the terms and conditions of sale. Acceptance occurs upon the earlier of; (1) the Company’s receipt of a written acceptance of the goods from the customer; or (2) expiration of the time period stated in each purchase order for final payment which may vary with each order. The customer has a right of return from the date that the shipment occurs until the final payment date stated in the purchase order. Revenue is only recognized upon completion of product testing by the customer, but not later than 180 days after product shipment occurs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that recent accounting pronouncements will have a material affect on the content or presentation of its financial statements.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2009 (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer/principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely deci sions regarding required disclosure.
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 controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to 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.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.
The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
