Our Company
T3 Motion, Inc. (“T3 Motion”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 16, 2006. T3 Motion is principally engaged in the designing, manufacturing and marketing of personal mobility vehicles powered by electric motors.
T3 Motion’s initial product is the T3, an easy-to-operate, personal mobility vehicle designed specifically for public and private security personnel that is powered by a quiet, environmentally-friendly, zero-gas emission electric motor that costs less than 10 cents a day to operate. After three years of development, we delivered to market the first T3 vehicles in early 2007. T3 Motion plans to introduce a series of product variants based on the initial T3 vehicle and the modularity of the sub-systems we have created.
The T3 vehicle design has been highly recognized for professional-based applications. Its iconic look has garnered international acclaim such as the Innovation Award for Best Vehicle at the 2007 International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana. Additionally, the T3 was honored at the International Spark Design Awards in Pasadena, California in 2007. The T3 vehicle has been featured on local, national and international television and print media being deployed by professionals from law enforcement and private security demonstrating the command presence coupled with the vehicle’s approachability by the public. In addition to being an effective performance-based patrol vehicle, it also enhances public relations by enabling two way conversations between the professional operator and the general public. This unique dynamic allows officers and personnel to more effectively fulfill Community-Oriented Policing (COPS) initiatives that have become prevalent since 9/11.
T3 Motion is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California and has an international division in the United Kingdom. It also has sales distributors in many other states, South Korea and the People’s Republic of China.
Our Market and Industry Overview
The personal mobility market has experienced rapid growth in the past several years. Personal transportation in the United States has become a necessity with law enforcement and government agencies, university campuses, airports, shopping malls, events/promotions, military/government and industrial areas. Similar needs exist in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
Since 9/11 the increase in homeland security spending on equipment has been substantial. The Department of Homeland Security Grant Program was scheduled to award $1.6 billion to municipalities for equipment acquisition and emergency preparedness in 2007. We believe that this grant program complements the 65,000 to 70,000 police cars already purchased by U.S. police departments each year, each of which receives roughly $5,000 in upgrades. Furthermore, we estimate that more than 45,000 law enforcement personnel and 13% of the over 3,000 U.S. sheriff’s departments employ bicycle patrols. We have an opportunity to capture a substantial portion of this market created by police department purchases of police cars, associated upgrades, bicycles and other security equipment purchased with funds from the Homeland Security.
Management further estimates that the personal mobility device market is estimated to grow to exceed $3 billion by 2010 with two major product segments being devices primarily for disabled persons and other personal mobility devices. Growth in the demand for other personal mobility devices such as the T3, golf carts and in-plant personnel carriers may grow over 5.2% per year through to 2010 reaching $1.1 billion. Commercial vehicles are projected to enjoy the fastest growth in the other personal mobility devices segment as manufacturers of golf carts and in plant personnel carriers continue to adapt such products for general commercial use.
Adding to the substantial market for security in the post-9/11 world, increasing awareness of global warming is creating a rapidly growing market for clean technologies. The $2.9 billion invested in alternative energy generation in North America in 2006, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, demonstrates the market’s emphasis on clean transportation technologies. Based on information from J.D. Powers and R.L. Polk, we believe that sales of hybrid cars have increased at a compound annual growth rate of 88% since 2000 and comprised more than 1% of light vehicle sales in 2007. As a zero-gas emissions electric vehicle, the T3 is ideally positioned to take advantage of this trend.
The U.S. civilian motorcycle market has been growing steadily since the start of the century from sales of approximately 640,000 units a year in 2000 to exceeding one million units in 2005 according to the Motorcycle Industry Council. They also anticipate that the U.S. motorcycle market will continue to grow at 7-8% per annum over the next five years.
Our Products and Services
The T3 Vehicle
The T3 is a three-wheel, front wheel drive, stand-up, electric personal mobility vehicle with a zero-gas emission electric motor that costs only pennies a day to operate. The T3 has hydraulic disk brakes on both rear wheels, which are matched with 17-inch low profile motorcycle tires for long tread wear and demanding performance. The vehicle is equipped with an LCD control panel display and utilizes high intensity LED lighting for its vertically adjustable headlights and taillights. It also features emergency lights, as well as a siren on the law enforcement model. The T3 enables the operator to respond rapidly to calls with low physical exertion. The elevated riding platform allows 360 degrees visibility while the ergonomic riding position reduces fatigue. The T3’s zero degree turning radius makes it highly maneuverable. The T3 comes standard with a lockable storage compartment for equipment and supplies.
Power Modules
The T3 has replaceable power modules that allow continuous vehicle operation without recharging downtime. T3 offers a variety of battery technology options in its power modules. The power modules and charger can be sold separately from the vehicle allowing different pricing models and leasing options.
Accessories
An optional external storage pack allows the operator to carry additional items on the vehicle. Available accessories include an external shotgun mount, a fitted vehicle cover and a multi-function trailer option. Additional accessories are currently being designed and field tested.
Future Products
We plan to introduce a series of product variants based on the initial T3 vehicle. While the T3 is targeted at law enforcement, security and enterprise markets, we intend to expand our base of T3 vehicle variants by utilizing the modularity of the sub-systems to configure vehicles for specific market uses such as delivery services, personnel transport and personal mobility.
We also plan to leverage the modularity of the T3 system to enter the consumer market with a scaled down version of the professional T3 model. The consumer model will be targeted at international as well as domestic users.
Our Growth Strategies
The core value of our brand and mission is to become the leader in enabling efficient, clean personal mobility and to continue providing products that are economical, functional, safe, dependable and meets the needs of the professional end user. We have a highly qualified and experienced management team with extensive experience in product design, development, innovation, operations, sales and marketing to execute the following growth strategies:
Ø | Increase our leading presence in law enforcement. |
Ø | Capitalize on broader security opportunities, such as airports and universities. |
Ø | Expand the T3 product line to address broader enterprise markets. |
Ø | Leverage brand into the consumer market. |

Our common stock and warrants are more fully described in the section of this prospectus titled “Description of Securities.”
Plan of Distribution
The offering of 1,750,000 shares of our common stock in the Direct Offering at an initial price of $2.00 per share, on a "best efforts" basis, is being made on a self-underwritten basis by us through our officers and directors who will not be paid any commission or other compensation and without the use of underwriters or broker-dealers. Our officers and directors will be the only persons that will conduct the direct public offering. They intend to offer and sell the shares in the primary offering through their business and personal contacts. We expect to receive $3,500,000 if we sell all of these shares, but there is no guarantee that any or all of the shares will be sold. There is a possibility that no proceeds will be raised or that if any proceeds are raised, they may not be sufficient to cover the cost of the offering.
The Selling Stockholders also may be selling up to 14,438,198 shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of such shares. We will, however receive proceeds of $754,148 if 697,639 warrants are exercised at the exercise price of $1.081 per warrant held by a certain selling stockholder. We will also receive proceeds of $1,402,597, $2,298,701 and $2,597,402 if 1,298,701, 1,298,701 and 1,298,701 warrants are exercised at the exercise price of $1.08, $1.77 and $2.00, respectively per warrant. These exercise prices are equal to or less than the fixed price of $2.00 at which Selling Stockholders must sell their shares until our shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or are listed on an exchange.
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Risks Related to Our Company and Our Industry
Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.
We have a limited operating history. We developed our first personal mobility product in late 2006. Our limited operating history and the unpredictability of our industry make it difficult for investors to evaluate our business and future operating results. An investor in our securities must consider the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. The risks and difficulties we face include challenges in accurate financial planning as a result of limited historical data and the uncertainties resulting from having had a relatively limited time period in which to implement and evaluate our business strategies as compared to older companies with longer operating histories.
The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and all delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, the commencement of operations and the competitive environment in which we intend to operate. Our ability to implement our business plan remains unproven and no assurance can be given that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to sustain our business or make a profit.
As a recently formed corporation, we have had very limited operations to date and expect to incur losses in the near future. We may require additional financing to sustain our operations and without it we may not be able to continue our operations.
We are a newly formed corporation and, as such, we have little revenue and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. Since we recently commenced operations, we may not foresee all developments and problems that may occur and the amount of time and capital required to become profitable and cash flow positive. We may need additional funds to continue our operations, and such additional funds may not be available when required, or that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by us.
To date, we have financed our operations through equity and debt financing. Our ability to arrange future financing from third parties will depend upon our perceived performance and market conditions. Our inability to raise additional working capital at all or to raise it in a timely manner would negatively impact our ability to fund our operations, to generate revenues and to otherwise execute our business plan, leading to the reduction or suspension of our operations and ultimately forcing us to go out of business. Should this occur, the value of our common stock could be adversely affected and investors could lose their entire investment.
If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has noted in its report concerning our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 that we have incurred recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $12.0 million as of December 31, 2007, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred losses from operations of $8.6 million in 2007 and $3.5 million for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2006.
Management believes that its current sources of funds and current liquid assets will allow us to continue as a going concern through at least the end of 2008. We started selling our vehicles in 2007 and we have obtained equity financing from third parties of $6,644,000 through May 12, 2008 and may raise additional debt and/or equity capital to finance future activities through 2008. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $1.8 million of customer purchase commitments to be fulfilled and realized during 2008. In light of these plans, management is confident in our ability to continue as a going concern. Despite management’s confidence, our significant recurring losses to date raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will achieve operating profits in the future. If we fail as a going concern, our shares of common stock will hold little or no value.
Our markets are highly competitive, and if we are unable to compete effectively, we will be adversely affected.
The industries in which we operate include competitors who are larger, better financed and better known than we are and may compete more effectively than we can. In order to stay competitive in our industry, we must keep pace with changing technologies and customer preferences. If we are unable to differentiate our products from those of our competitors, our revenues may decline. In addition, our competitors have established relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to address customer needs. As a result, new competitors or alliances among competitors may emerge and compete more effectively than we can.
Our failure to further refine our technology and develop and introduce new personal mobility products could render our products uncompetitive or obsolete, and reduce our sales and market share.
The personal mobility industry is characterized by rapid increases in the diversity and complexity of technologies, products and services. We will need to invest significant financial resources in research and development to keep pace with technological advances in the personal mobility industry, evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements. However, research and development activities are inherently uncertain, and we might encounter practical difficulties in commercializing our research results. Our significant expenditures on research and development may not reap corresponding benefits. A variety of competing personal mobility technologies that other companies may develop could prove to be more cost-effective and have better performance than our products. Therefore, our development efforts may be rendered obsolete by the technological advances of others. Our failure to further refine our technology and develop and introduce new personal mobility products could render our products uncompetitive or obsolete, and result in a decline in our market share and revenue.
We face risks associated with the marketing, distribution and sale of our personal mobility products internationally, and if we are unable to effectively manage these risks, they could impair our ability to expand our business abroad.
We have plans to expand our marketing, distribution, and sales efforts to the European, Asian, and Middle Eastern markets. This exposes us to a number of risks, including:
§ | fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
§ | difficulty in engaging and retaining distributors who are knowledgeable about and, can function effectively in, overseas markets; |
§ | increased costs associated with maintaining marketing efforts in various countries; |
§ | difficulty and cost relating to compliance with the different commercial and legal requirements of the overseas markets in which we offer our products; |
§ | inability to obtain, maintain or enforce intellectual property rights; and |
§ | trade barriers such as export requirements, tariffs, taxes and other restrictions and expenses, which could increase the prices of our products and make us less competitive in some countries. | |
§ | service and maintenance costs |
Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our executive officers and our ability to maintain a skilled labor force, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.
Our future success depends substantially on the continued services of our executive officers, especially Ki Nam, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of our Board of Directors. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our executive officers. If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily, if at all. Therefore, our business may be severely disrupted, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new officers. In addition, if any of our executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some of our customers.
The products we sell are inherently risky and could give rise to product liability, product warranty claims and other loss contingencies.
The products that we manufacture are typically used in situations that may involve high levels of risk of personal injury. Failure to use our products for their intended purposes, failure to use or care for them properly, or their malfunction, or, in some limited circumstances, even correct use of our products, could result in serious bodily injury. Given this potential risk of injury, proper maintenance of our products is critical.
While our products are rigorously tested for quality, our products nevertheless may fail to meet customer expectations from time-to-time. Also, not all defects are immediately detectible. Failures could result from faulty design or problems in manufacturing. In either case, we could incur significant costs to repair and/or replace defective products under warranty. In some cases, product redesigns and/or rework may be required to correct a defect, and such occurrences could adversely impact future business with affected customers. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected by any unexpected significant warranty costs.
The failure to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields could adversely affect our business.
We may have difficulty achieving acceptable yields in the manufacture of our products which could lead to higher costs, a loss of customers or delay in market acceptance of our products. Slight impurities or defects can cause significant difficulties, particularly in connection with the production of a new product, the adoption of a new manufacturing process or any expansion of our manufacturing capacity and related transitions. Yields below our target levels can negatively impact our gross profit.
From time to time we engage in related party transactions. There are no assurances that these transactions are fair to our company.
From time to time we enter into transactions with related parties which include the purchase from or sale to of products and services from related parties, and advancing these related parties significant sums as prepayments for future goods or services and working capital, among other transactions. We have in place policies and procedures which require the pre-approval of loans between these related parties. Notwithstanding these policies, we cannot assure you that in every instance the terms of the transactions with these various related parties are on terms as fair as we might receive from or extend to third parties. In addition, related party transactions in general have a higher potential for conflicts of interest than third-party transactions, could result in significant losses to our company and may impair investor confidence, which could adversely affect our business and our stock price.
We are dependent on a single third party manufacturer and on certain suppliers and service providers. Any interruption in our relationships with these parties may adversely affect our business.
Most components used in the Company’s systems are purchased from outside sources. Certain components are purchased from single suppliers. The failure of any such supplier to meet its commitment on schedule could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. If a sole-source supplier were to go out of business or otherwise become unable to meet its supply commitments, the process of locating and qualifying alternate sources could require up to several months, during which time the Company’s production could be delayed. Such delays could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
Our dependence on third party suppliers for key components of our devices could delay shipment of our products and reduce our sales.
We depend on certain domestic and foreign suppliers for the delivery of components used in the assembly of our products. Our reliance on third-party suppliers creates risks related to our potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of components or subassemblies and reduced control over pricing and timing of delivery of components and sub-assemblies. Specifically, we depend on suppliers of batteries and battery components and other miscellaneous customer parts for our products. We also do not have long-term agreements with any of our suppliers and there is no guarantee that supply will not be interrupted. Any interruption of supply for any material components of our products could significantly delay the shipment of our products and have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability and financial condition.
Many of our customers have fluctuating budgets, which may cause substantial fluctuations in our results of operations.
Customers for our products include, and may include in the future, federal, state, municipal, foreign and military, law enforcement and other governmental agencies. Government tax revenues and budgetary constraints, which fluctuate from time to time, can affect budgetary allocations for these customers. Many domestic and foreign government agencies have in the past experienced budget deficits that have led to decreased spending in defense, law enforcement and other military and security areas. Our results of operations may be subject to substantial period-to-period fluctuations because of these and other factors affecting military, law enforcement and other governmental spending. A reduction of funding for federal, state, municipal, foreign and other governmental agencies could have a material adverse effect on sales of our products and our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
Our resources may be insufficient to manage the demands imposed by our growth.
We have rapidly expanded our operations, and this growth has placed significant demands on our management, administrative, operating and financial resources. The continued growth of our customer base and the geographic markets served can be expected to continue to place a significant strain on our resources. In addition, we cannot easily identify and hire personnel qualified both in the provision and marketing of our products. Our future performance and profitability will depend in large part on our ability to attract and retain additional management and other key personnel, and our ability to implement successful enhancements to our management, marketing and sales team and technology personnel.
Decreased demand for electric vehicles could cause our products to become obsolete or lose popularity.
The electric vehicle industry is in its infancy and has experienced substantial change in the last few years. To date, demand for and interest in electric vehicles has grown. However, continued growth in the electric vehicle industry depends on many factors, including:
• | continued development of product technology; |
• | the environmental consciousness of customers; |
• | the ability of electric vehicles to successfully compete with vehicles powered by internal combustion engines; |
• | widespread electricity shortages and the resultant increase in electricity prices, especially in our primary market, California, which could derail our past and present efforts to promote electric vehicles as a practical solution to vehicles which require gasoline; and |
• | whether future regulation and legislation requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles is enacted. |
We cannot assure you that growth in the electric vehicle industry will continue. Our business of providing personal mobility vehicles powered by electric motors may suffer if the electric vehicle industry does not grow or grows more slowly than it has in recent years or if we are unable to maintain the pace of industry demands.
The failure of certain key suppliers to provide us with components could have a severe and negative impact upon our business.
We rely on a small group of suppliers to provide us with our custom design components for our products, some of these are located outside of the United States. If these suppliers become unwilling or unable to provide components, delays could be caused as there are a limited number of alternative suppliers who could provide them on demand. Changes in business conditions, wars, governmental changes and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate could affect our ability to receive components from our suppliers in a timely manner. Further, it could be difficult to find replacement components if our current suppliers of custom parts fail to provide the parts needed for these products. A failure by these suppliers to provide the components could severely restrict our ability to manufacture our products and prevent us from fulfilling customer orders in a timely fashion.
Our success is heavily dependent on protecting our intellectual property rights.
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret protections to protect our proprietary technology. Our success will, in part, depend on our ability to obtain trademarks and patents. We license one patent and hold three trademarks registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We cannot assure you that these trademarks and patents will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that the rights granted under those registrations will provide competitive advantages to us.
We also rely on trade secrets and new technologies to maintain our competitive position, but we cannot be certain that others will not gain access to these trade secrets. Others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets.
We may be exposed to liability for infringing intellectual property rights of other companies.
Our success will, in part, depend on our ability to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. Although we have conducted searches and are not aware of any patents and trademarks which our products or their use might infringe, we cannot be certain that infringement has not or will not occur. We could incur substantial costs, in addition to the great amount of time lost, in defending any patent or trademark infringement suits or in asserting any patent or trademark rights, in a suit with another party.
Our officers and directors own a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock, which will enable them to influence many significant corporate actions and in certain circumstances may prevent a change in control that would otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders.
Immediately after the closing of the Offering, our directors and executive officers will control at least 67% of our outstanding shares of stock that are entitled to vote on all corporate actions. In particular, our controlling stockholder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ki Nam, together with his children, will own 67% of the outstanding shares. Mr. Nam could have a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote of the shareholders, including the election of our directors and most of our corporate actions. This control could delay, defer, or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover, or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our shareholders and us. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our other shareholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.
Risks Relating Ownership of Our Securities
If a public market for our common stock develops, we expect to experience volatility in the price of our common stock. This may result in substantial losses to investors if they are unable to sell their shares at or above their purchase price.
If a public market for our common stock develops, we expect the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially for the indefinite future due to a number of factors, including:
· | our status as a company with a limited operating history and limited revenues to date, which may make risk-averse investors more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the shares of a seasoned issuer in the event of negative news or lack of progress; |
· | announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; |
· | the timing and development of our products; |
· | general and industry-specific economic conditions; |
· | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
· | our capital commitments; and |
· | the loss of any of our key management personnel. |
In addition, the financial markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. The market prices of the securities of technology companies, particularly companies like ours without consistent revenues and earnings, have been highly volatile and may continue to be highly volatile in the future, some of which may be unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The sale or attempted sale of a large amount of common stock into the market may also have a significant impact on the trading price of our common stock. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies that experience volatility in the market price of their securities. Whether or not meritorious, litigation brought against us could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources and harm our financial condition and results of operations.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, which may reduce your return on an investment in our common stock.
We plan to use all of our earnings, to the extent we have earnings, to fund our operations. We do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We cannot guarantee that we will, at any time, generate sufficient surplus cash that would be available for distribution as a dividend to the holders of our common stock. Therefore, any return on your investment would derive from an increase in the price of our stock, which may or may not occur.
Substantial future sales of our common stock in the public market may depress our stock price.
There are currently outstanding as of May 13, 2008, 43,418,428 shares of common stock, and warrants for the purchase of 697,639, 1,298,701, 1,298,701, 1,298,701 and 120,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.081, $1.08, $1.77, $2.00 and $1.54 per share, respectively. Additional warrants for the purchase of 1,862,069 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share may become exerciseable upon fulfillment of certain service related milestones by a selling stockholder.
In addition, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register approximately 7,450,000 shares of our common stock underlying options granted or to be granted to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. These shares, if issued in accordance with these plans, will be eligible for immediate sale in the public market, subject to volume limitations. As of March 31, 2008, there were 5,591,500 options outstanding, of which 2,305,916 were vested.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the market perceives that such sales may occur, the market price of our common stock could fall. The sale of a large number of shares could impair our ability to raise needed capital by depressing the price at which we could sell our common stock.
We may raise additional capital through a securities offering that could dilute your ownership interest and voting rights.
Our certificate of incorporation currently authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of May 13, 2008 after taking into consideration our outstanding common shares, our board of directors will be entitled to issue up to 40,805,761 additional shares. The power of the board of directors to issue shares of common stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of our stock is generally not subject to shareholder approval.
We require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of additional common stock or securities convertible into common stock by our board of directors will also have the effect of diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock.
Our incorporation documents and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also limit the market price of your stock, which may inhibit an attempt by our stockholders to change our direction or management.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. Some of these provisions:
· | authorize our board of directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to, or imposed upon, the preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series without further action by our stockholders; |
· | prohibit stockholders from calling special meetings; |
· | prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; |
· | establish advance notice requirements for submitting nominations for election to the board of directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at a meeting; and |
· | prohibit stockholder action by written consent, requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders. |
In addition, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of Delaware General Corporate Law. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us, which may prevent or frustrate any attempt by our stockholders to change our management or the direction in which we are heading. These and other provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws and under Delaware law could reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock in the future and result in the market price being lower than it would be without these provisions.
We will be subject to the Penny Stock Rules once our common stock becomes eligible for trading. These rules may adversely affect trading in our common stock.
We expect that our common stock will be a “low-priced” security under the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer’s duties in selling the stock, the customer’s rights and remedies and certain market and other information. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The effect of these restrictions will probably decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, decrease liquidity of our common stock and increase transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
We will incur increased costs and compliance risks as a result of becoming a public company.
Once we are a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that T3 did not incur as a private company. We will incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority(“FINRA”). We expect these rules and regulations, in particular Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Like many smaller public companies, we face a significant impact from required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management of public companies to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the independent registered public accounting firm to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls. The SEC has adopted rules implementing Section 404 for public companies as well as disclosure requirements. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has adopted documentation and attestation standards that the independent registered public accounting firm must follow in conducting its attestation under Section 404. We are currently preparing for compliance with Section 404; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively meet all of the requirements of Section 404 as currently known to us in the currently mandated timeframe. Any failure to implement effectively new or improved internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations or result in management being required to give a qualified assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or our independent registered public accounting firm providing an adverse opinion regarding our controls over financial reporting. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
Management will have substantial discretion over the use of the proceeds of this Offering and may not choose to use them effectively.
We plan to use the proceeds from this Offering as set forth in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.” Our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this Offering and may apply the proceeds in ways in which you do not agree. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could materially harm our business.
Our management determined the Offering price of the Shares. There is a risk that the Shares will trade below your purchase price.
Our management determined the offering price of the Shares. The offering price of the Shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to our assets, book value, net worth or other economic or recognized criteria of value. In no event should the price of the Shares listed in this Memorandum be regarded as an indicator of any future market price of our common stock. Hence, there are no criteria provided herein to predict the future market price of the common stock and the value of your investment. In determining the number of shares of Common Stock to be offered and the offering price, we considered our business history, capital structure, results of operations and financial condition, prospects for our business and for our company’s industry in general and the general conditions of the securities markets.
Following the effectiveness of our registration statement and listing of our securities on a stock market, our shares of common stock may be thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
There is no prior history of public trading in our stock upon which to base a determination of the trading that may occur in the stock after the Registration. Through this Registration and listing process on the OTC Bulletin Board (“Listing”), we are essentially going public without the typical initial public offering procedures which usually include a large selling group of broker-dealers who may provide market support after going public. Thus, we will be required to undertake efforts to develop market recognition for us and support for our shares of Common Stock in the public market. The price and volume for our Common Stock that will develop after the Registration and Listing cannot be assured. The number of persons interested in purchasing our Common Stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days, weeks or months when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained or not diminish. We intend to cause our common stock to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board soon after the effectiveness of the Registration. Our intention is to apply for trading on either the Nasdaq market or the American Stock Exchange at such time that we meet the requirements for listing on those exchanges. There can be no assurance as to when we will qualify for any of these exchanges or that we will ever qualify for these exchanges. While we are trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the trading volume we will develop may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow a policy of not investing in OTC Bulletin Board stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending OTC Bulletin Board stocks because they are considered speculative, volatile and thinly traded.
The market price for our Common Stock may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase the Shares may not be indicative of the price of the Common Stock that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your Shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
-19-
The market for our Common Stock may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price could continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The potential volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our shares of Common Stock may be sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares of Common Stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Second, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk averse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors will be beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our Common Stock will be at any time, including as to whether our shares of Common Stock will sustain market prices at or near the Offering price, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
In addition, the market price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to:
· | quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses; |
· | announcements of new products or services by us; |
· | fluctuations in interest rates; |
· | significant sales of our Common Stock; |
· | the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us; and |
· | news reports relating to trends in our markets or general economic conditions. |
The stock markets in general and the market prices for penny stock companies in particular, have experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock, regardless of our operating performance.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, and these fluctuations may cause our Common Stock price to fall.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors that could affect our revenues or our expenses in any particular quarter. You should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of future performance. Factors that may affect our quarterly results include:
· | market acceptance of our products and those of our competitors; |
· | our ability to attract and retain key personnel; |
· | development of new designs and technologies; and |
· | our ability to manage our anticipated growth and expansion. |
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
From time to time after the registration statement has been declared effective, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement (which disappears after one year). There are no shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates that will become 144 eligible within three months after our registration statement has been declared effective.
Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements. Any substantial sale of our Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus (including sales by investors of securities acquired in connection with this Offering) may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock. Future sales of our all.
We are responsible for the indemnification of our officers and directors, which could result in substantial expenditures.
Our Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of our company. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures, which we may be unable to recoup.
You will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Assuming the maximum offering, 75% of the maximum offering, or 60% of the maximum of the offering, this offering will result in an immediate increase to our net tangible book value of $0.07, $0.05, or $0.04 per share, respectively to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.69, $1.69, or $1.68 per share respectively to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. Accordingly, the investors will bear a great deal of the financial risk associated with our business, while effective control will remain with the principal stockholders. See "Dilution" on page 23.
OFFERING PERIOD
This offering will end on the date that all of the shares of common stock offered are sold. During this offering we will be able to use funds immediately. No minimum amount of proceeds has been set by us and no legal requirement for a minimum amount is in effect. Since there is no minimum, no escrow account will be established to hold funds until a minimum amount is reached or until the offering period is terminated.
The Selling Stockholders will be able to sell their shares on a continuous basis beyond the Initial Offering Period.
This prospectus, including sections entitled "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Description of Business," contains forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, 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 these forward-looking statements. These risks and other factors include those listed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus or to conform these statements to actual results. Neither the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 nor Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 provides any protection for statements made in this prospectus.
We will not receive any part of the proceeds of the sale of 14,438,198 of the shares that are being offered by the selling stockholders listed in the Selling Stockholder table. We will, however, receive $754,148, $1,402,597, $2,298,701 and $2,597,402 assuming 697,639, 1,298,701, 1,298,701 and 1,298,701 warrants are exercised at the exercise price of $1.081, $1.08, $1.77 and $2.00, respectively per share. Assuming that we sell 25% to 100% of the shares offered by us, our gross proceeds would range from $875,000 to $3,500,000. Assuming that the net costs of the offering are $100,000, our net proceeds would range from $775,000 to $3,400,000.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital. We may also use the proceeds of this offering, to the extent available, to fund other working capital needs, including SEC compliance and related public company costs.
We have not budgeted all of our expected expenditures, and cannot estimate the amounts to be used for each purpose set forth above. Accordingly, management will have significant flexibility in applying a substantial portion of the net proceeds of this offering.
Our offering is being made on a $3.5 million maximum self-underwritten basis. The table below sets forth the use of proceeds if 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the offering is sold with assumed offering expenses of $100,000.
At the Maximum Offering | At 75% Maximum Offering | At 50% Maximum Offering | At 25% Maximum Offering | ||||||||||||
Legal / Accounting Costs | $ | 100,000 | $ | 100,000 | $ | 100,000 | $ | 100,000 | |||||||
Working Capital | 3,400,000 | 2,525,000 | 1,650,000 | 775,000 | |||||||||||
Net Proceeds | $ | 3,400,000 | $ | 2,525,000 | $ | 1,650,000 | $ | 775,000 |
The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our efforts. The chart represents our best estimate of our allocation of the net proceeds of this offering based upon current plans and estimates regarding anticipated expenditures. Actual expenditures may vary substantially from these estimates, and we may find it necessary or advisable to reallocate the net proceeds within the above-described uses or for other purposes.
We anticipate, based on management's current plans and assumptions relating to our operations, that the net proceeds of this offering, if the maximum subscription is achieved, will be sufficient to satisfy our contemplated cash requirements to implement our business plan for our core business through 2008. If the proceeds of the offering are insufficient to fund the implementation of our business plan (due to a change in our plans or a material inaccuracy in our assumptions, or as a result of unanticipated expenses, or other unanticipated problems), we will be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated in order to proceed with such implementation.
THE FOREGOING REFLECTS ONLY ESTIMATES OF THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS FOR 25% TO 100% OF THE MAXIMUM SUBSCRIPTION. IF LESS THAN 25% OF THE MAXIMUM SUBSCRIPTION IS ATTAINED, THE AMOUNTS WILL BE ADJUSTED IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER OF PRIORITY BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED: 1. LEGAL AND ACCOUNTING COSTS; AND 2. WORKING CAPITAL. ACTUAL EXPENDITURES MAY VARY MATERIALLY FROM THESE ESTIMATES.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The offering price has been arbitrarily determined and does not bear any relationship to our assets, results of operations, or book value, or to any other generally accepted criteria of valuation. The factors considered were:
· | Our relatively short operating history; |
· | The proceeds to be raised by this offering; |
· | Our cash requirements; and |
· | The price that we believe a purchaser is willing to pay for our shares. |
We cannot assure you that an active or orderly trading market will develop for our common stock or that our common stock will trade in the public markets subsequent to this offering at or above the offering price.
The selling stockholders will sell our shares at $2.00 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
Purchasers of our common stock in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma net tangible book value of the common stock from the initial public offering price. In our calculations, we have assumed an initial public offering price of $2.00 per share of common stock.
Pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock is determined by dividing pro forma net tangible book value (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the pro forma number of shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the net tangible book value (“NTBV”) of our common stock was approximately $7,854,000, or approximately $0.18 on a per share basis.
As of March 31, 2008, after giving effect to the sale of 1,750,000 shares (maximum offering), 1,312,500 shares (75% of the maximum offering), 875,000 shares (50% of the maximum offering) or 437,500 shares (25% of the maximum offering) of common stock offered by this prospectus (after deduction of estimated offering expenses of $100,000), our adjusted NTBV would have been approximately $11,254,000, $10,379,000, $9,504,000, or $8,629,000, respectively, or $0.25, $0.23, $0.21, or $0.20 per share of common stock assuming the maximum offering price, 75% of the maximum offering price, 50% of the maximum offering price and 25% of the maximum offering price, respectively.
Assuming the maximum offering, 75% of the maximum offering, 50% of the maximum offering price or the 25% of the maximum offering, this offering will result in an immediate increase in our NTBV, of $0.07, $0.05, $0.03 or $0.02 per share, respectively to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in NTBV of $1.69, $1.69, $1.67 or $1.58 per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering.
The following table illustrates the effects of this offering on our NTBV and per share dilution to the new investors:

The following tables summarize, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2008, after giving effect to this offering, the differences between existing holdings of common stock and the new investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total cash consideration paid and the average price per share paid by existing holders and investors in this offering, in each case before deducting estimated offering expenses, and illustrating three scenarios including, the maximum offering is sold, 75% of the maximum offering is sold, 50% of the maximum offering is sold and 25% of the maximum offering is sold:

The following table sets forth the names of the selling stockholders who may sell their shares under this prospectus from time to time. No selling stockholder has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates other than as a result of the ownership of our securities.
The following table also provides certain information with respect to the selling stockholders' ownership of our securities as of the date of this prospectus, the total number of securities they may sell under this prospectus from time to time, and the number of securities they will own thereafter assuming no other acquisitions or dispositions of our securities. The selling stockholders can offer all, some or none of their securities, thus we have no way of determining the number they will hold after this offering. Therefore, we have prepared the table below on the assumption that the selling stockholders will sell all shares covered by this prospectus.
Some of the selling stockholders may distribute their shares, from time to time, to their limited and/or general partners or managers, who may sell shares pursuant to this prospectus. Each selling stockholder may also transfer shares owned by him or her by gift, and upon any such transfer the donee would have the same right of sale as the selling stockholder.
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure set forth herein. None of the selling stockholders are or were affiliated with registered broker-dealers. See our discussion entitled "Plan of Distribution" for further information regarding the selling stockholders’ method of distribution of these shares.

This is our initial public offering. We are registering a total of 20,781,940 shares of our common stock. Of this amount, 1,750,000 shares, referred to in this prospectus as the “Direct Offering”, are being offered by T3 Motion, and 19,031,940 shares are being offered by the selling stockholders. We will receive the proceeds from the shares offered in the Direct Offering. We will not receive the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders.
Direct Offering
We are registering for sale or distribution a maximum of 1,750,000 shares of common stock at the initial offering price of $2.00 per share. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this offering. There will be no escrow account. All money received from this offering will be immediately used by us.
The Direct Offering shall commence upon effectiveness of this registration statement and will end whenever all of the shares have been sold or twelve months after the date of effectiveness, whichever comes first. All sales of the shares will be effected by our officers or other representatives (who fall within the requirements of Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), who will not receive any special compensation in connection with such sale or distribution.
Ki Nam, our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the sale of the securities on behalf of T3 Motion. Mr. Nam shall not be compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Neither Mr. Nam, nor any other of our officers and directors associated with offering and selling the shares are considered associated persons of any broker or dealer.
Our officers meet all of the following conditions:
· | They primarily perform, or intend to primarily perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of T3 Motion otherwise than in connection with the sale and distribution of the shares; |
· | They were not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve months; and |
· | The officers do not participate in selling and offering of securities for any issuer more than once every twelve months other than in reliance certain exemptions provided for under Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) and (a)(4)(iii), except that for securities issued pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act 1933, the twelve months shall begin with the last sale of any security included within one Rule 415 registration. |
In the past, we have received unsolicited indications of interest in T3 Motion from persons familiar with us. Our officers will deliver prospectuses to these individuals and to others who they believe might have interest in purchasing all or part of this offering. We also may retain licensed broker/dealers to assist us in the offering and selling of shares, if we deem such to be in our best interest. At this time we do not have any commitments, agreements or understandings with any broker/dealers. The maximum underwriting discount and commission we are willing to pay to engage broker/dealers is eight percent (8%).
In the event we retain any broker/dealers to assist in the offering and selling of units we will update this prospectus accordingly.
Purchasers of shares either in this offering or in any subsequent trading market that may develop must be residents of states in which the securities are registered or exempt from registration. Some of the exemptions are self-executing, that is to say that there are no notice or filing requirements, and compliance with the conditions of the exemption render exemption applicable.
Selling Stockholders Offering
Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other 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. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
· | 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; |
· | settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. 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. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicablerovisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
Equity Securities
The total number of shares of all shares of stock which the corporation shall have the authority to issue is fifty million (50,000,000) shares, all of which are shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. On March 24, 2008, we and our controlling stockholders increased this number to one hundred million (100,000,000) shares, all of which will be shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share prior to the closing of this Offering.
Common Stock
As of April 30, 2008, there were issued and outstanding, 43,418,428 shares of common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive any dividends that may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company’s earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities.
The holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than fifty percent of the shares of common stock voting for election of directors may elect all the directors if they choose to do so. In this event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than fifty percent will not be able to elect directors. The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights.
Warrants
As of April 30, 2008, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 697,639 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.081 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable. The warrants expire on December 31, 2012. There were 1,298,701, 1,298,701 and 1,298,701 warrants exerciseable at the exercise price of $1.08, $1.77 and $2.00, respectively per warrant. These warrants expire on March 31, 2013.
The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including reclassifications, reorganizations or combinations of the common stock. At all times that the warrants are outstanding, we will authorize and reserve at least that number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding warrants.
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
The consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus have been audited by KMJ Corbin & Company LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report (which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern) to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report appearing elsewhere herein and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of that firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
The validity of the common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders under this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Richardson & Patel LLP.
Overview
T3 Motion, Inc. (“T3 Motion”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 16, 2006. T3 Motion is principally engaged in the designing, manufacturing and marketing of personal mobility vehicles powered by electric motors.
T3 Motion’s initial product is the T3, an easy-to-operate, stand-up vehicle designed specifically for public and private security personnel that is powered by a quiet, environmentally-friendly, zero-gas emission electric motor that costs less than ten cents a day to operate. After three years of development, T3 Motion delivered to market the first T3 vehicles in early 2007. T3 Motion plans to introduce a series of product variants based on the initial T3 vehicle and the modularity of the sub-systems they have created.
The T3 vehicle design has been highly recognized for professional-based applications. Its iconic look has garnered international acclaim such as the Innovation Award for Best Vehicle at the 2007 International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana. Additionally, the T3 was honored at the International Spark Design Awards in Pasadena, California in 2007. The T3 has been featured on local, national and international television and print media being deployed by professionals from law enforcement and private security demonstrating the command presence coupled with the vehicle’s approachability by the public. In addition to being an effective performance-based patrol vehicle, it also enhances public relations by enabling two way conversations between the professional operator and the general public. This unique dynamic allows officers and personnel to more effectively fulfill Community-Oriented Policing (COPS) initiatives that have become prevalent since 9/11.
T3 Motion is headquartered in Costa Mesa, California and has an international division in the United Kingdom. It also has sales distributors in South Korea and the People’s Republic of China.
Market and Industry Overview
The personal mobility market has experienced rapid growth in the past several years. Personal transportation in the United States has become a necessity with law enforcement and government agencies, university campuses, airports, shopping malls, events/promotions, military/government, and industrial areas. Similar needs exist in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Adding to the substantial market for security in the post-9/11 world, increasing awareness of global warming is creating a rapidly growing market for clean technologies. The $2.9 billion invested in alternative energy generation in North America in 2006, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, demonstrates the market’s emphasis on clean transportation technologies. Based on information from J.D. Powers and R.L. Polk, we believe that sales of hybrid cars have increased at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 88% since 2000 and are expected to comprise 1% of light vehicle sales in 2007. As a zero-gas emissions electric vehicle, the T3 is ideally positioned to take advantage of this trend.
The U.S. civilian motorcycle market has been growing steadily since the start of the century from sales of approximately 640,000 units a year in 2000 to exceeding one million units in 2005 according to the Motorcycle Industry Council. They also anticipate that the U.S. motorcycle market will continue to grow at 7-8% per annum over the next five years.
The increase in homeland security spending since 9/11 has been substantial. The Department of Homeland Security Grant Program will award $1.6 billion to municipalities for equipment acquisition and emergency preparedness in 2007. According to an article titled “Automakers in Hot Pursuit of Police Cars” published in BusinessWeek’s October 2006 issue, this grant program complements the 65,000 to 70,000 police cars already purchased by U.S. police departments each year, each of which receives roughly $5,000 in upgrades. Furthermore, more than 45,000 law enforcement personnel and 13% of the over 3,000 U.S. sheriff’s departments employ bicycle patrols. We have an opportunity to capture a substantial portion of this market created by police department purchases of police cars, associated upgrades, bicycles and other security equipment purchased with funds from the Homeland Security.
We discuss below the specific markets that we believe will continue to experience growth.
Law Enforcement. Nationwide Police and Sheriff’s departments continue to deploy thousands of law enforcement personnel on bicycle and foot patrols. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, there are over 500,000 police officers in the U.S. Additionally, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice, there are almost 11,000 parking enforcement personnel assigned to police departments and almost 10,000 foot patrol officers.
College and University Campuses. There are more than 4,000 higher education institutions that use bicycles, golf carts and walking to fill patrol needs. The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that more than 150,000 golf carts are used on college and university campuses throughout the U.S.
High Schools. There are over 35,000 high schools in the U.S. School crime, violence and safety offenses remain significant issues affecting our education system. According to the National Association of School Resource Officers, it is estimated that there are over 100,000 School Resource Officers nationally assigned to deal with these issues.
Military and Government Agencies. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, there are over 500 military bases with over 2.5 million personnel, who have the need to provide security and other activities, including the need to move people within large areas. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security devotes a significant number of personnel to border and transportation security, emergency preparedness, science and technology and information analysis and management. The Department of Homeland Security uses T3s in the inspection of cargo at industrial plants and airports, including the Los Angeles International Airport, and ports, such as the Long Beach Port.
Airports. There are about 189 large- to small-hub airports and more than 4,000 paved rural airports in the U.S. The T3 is used for security and airport personnel both inside and outside the terminal buildings at airports. In addition, we anticipate the need for the T3 for ground crew, airline personnel and customer service staff.
Port Security. In the post-9/11 era, according to the Department of Homeland Security, February 2006 press release, funding for port security has increased more than 700%. The Department of Homeland Security spent over $1.6 billion in 2005 for port security.
Private Security Companies. According to the National Association of Security Companies (NASCO) 2006 Private Security Fact Sheet, private security contracting is an approximately $13 billion industry in the U.S. with 11,000 to 15,000 companies employing 1.2 million contract security officers. Contract security officers are increasingly protecting military bases and installations across the country and around the world, and are required to be first responders to any incident. The President’s National Strategy for Homeland Security estimates that these private security officers protect 85% of the country’s infrastructure, which, according to the National Association of Security Companies, makes private security companies a top funding priority for the federal government.
Manufacturing and Industrial Firms. According to the 2004 US Census Bureau report there are thousands of manufacturing and industrial firms with more than 100 employees each whose maintenance and warehousing personnel use golf carts and bicycles. Most large manufacturing and industrial facilities use utility vehicles, golf carts and bicycles for transportation, maintenance and warehousing. We expect some of these vehicles could be replaced with our products.
Shopping Malls and Parking Patrol. According to the CoStar National Research Bureau Shopping Center Database and Statistical Model 2005 there are approximately 50,000 shopping malls in the U.S. covering more than six billion square feet of space. The malls are patrolled by private security companies. In addition to malls, there are numerous parking structures throughout the U.S. that are regularly patrolled.
Wheelchairs and Personal Mobility Devises. According to the Freedonia Report, October 2007, the personal mobility device market is estimated to exceed $3.0 billion by 2010 with two major product segments being devices primarily for disabled persons and other personal mobility devices. Growth in the demand for other personal mobility devices such as the T3, golf carts and in-plant personnel carriers is projected to grow over 5.2% per year through to 2010 reaching $1.1 billion. Commercial vehicles are projected to enjoy the fastest growth in the other personal mobility devices segment as manufacturers of golf carts and in plant personnel carriers continue to adapt such products for general commercial use.
Our Operations
Our principal executive offices and operations facility is located in Costa Mesa, California. Our main corporate headquarters facility located at 2990 Airway Avenue, Suite A is an approximate 34,000 square foot facility that is home to the executive staff and sales staff and is our main operational and manufacturing location. The facility is equipped with multiple production lines capable of producing up to 800 T3 vehicles per month. Located directly across the street at 2975 Airway is our 14,000 square feet warehouse and R&D center that is fully equipped with all of the necessary machines and equipment needed to design and build development products.
We manufacture our T3s at our headquarters. Our raw materials are sourced from various suppliers, both national and international. Currently, our electronics and wire harness assembly manufacturing, embedded digital processing application development and electronics hardware and software development occur at our headquarters and operations center. Final assembly, testing, warehousing, quality control and shipping take place at our U.S. operations center. We are, however, developing a global supply chain that we anticipate will provide a low-cost labor structure and sub-assembly infrastructure supporting final assembly in the U.S.
Our sales and marketing is located at our headquarters and currently targets opportunities in the Western, Central and Eastern United States. The sales and marketing team is beginning to expand globally into Europe, Asia and the Middle East. We have agreements with numerous U.S. regional distributors and manufacturing representative companies, adding substantially to our sales force.
Products and Services
The T3 Vehicle
The T3 is a three-wheel, front wheel drive, stand-up, electric personal mobility vehicle with a zero-gas emission electric motor that costs only pennies a day to operate. The T3 has hydraulic desk brakes on both rear wheels, which are matched with 17-inch low profile motorcycle tires for long treadwear and demanding performance. The vehicle is equipped with an LCD control panel display and utilizes high intensity LED lighting for its vertically adjustable headlights and taillights. It also features emergency lights, as well as a siren on the law enforcement model. The T3 enables the operator to respond rapidly to calls with low physical exertion. The elevated riding platform allows 360 degrees visibility while the ergonomic riding position reduces fatigue. The T3’s zero degree turning radius makes it highly maneuverable. The T3 comes standard with a lockable storage compartment for equipment and supplies.
Power Modules
The T3 has replaceable power modules that allow continuous vehicle operation without recharging downtime. T3 offers a variety of battery technology options in its power modules. The power modules and charger can be sold separately from the vehicle allowing different pricing models and leasing options.
Accessories
An optional external storage pack allows the operator to carry additional items on the vehicle. Available accessories include an external shotgun mount, a fitted vehicle cover and a multi-function trailer option. Additional accessories are currently being designed and field tested.
Future Products
We plan to introduce a series of product variants based on the initial T3 vehicle and the modularity of the sub-systems we have created. While the T3 is targeted at law enforcement, security and enterprise markets, we intend to expand our base of T3 vehicle variants by utilizing the modularity of the sub-systems to configure vehicles for specific market uses such as delivery services, personnel transport and personal mobility.
We also plan to leverage the modularity of the T3 system to enter the consumer market with a scaled down version of the professional T3 model. The consumer model will be targeted at international as well as domestic users.

Research and Development
We place great emphasis on product research and development (“R&D”). For the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2006, we spent $1,243,430 and $1,251,169, respectively, on Research and Development to ensure that the T3 personal mobility vehicle was properly designed to be an extremely effective and useful tool for the public safety and private security market. In addition, we will continue to refine and optimize all aspects of the vehicle design to maintain its high standards of vehicle performance, cost effectiveness and to continue to meet the needs of our customers.
Growth Strategies and Marketing
Growth Strategies
The core value of our brand and mission is to become the leader in enabling efficient, clean personal mobility and to continue providing products that are economical, functional, safe, dependable and meet the needs of the professional end user. We have a highly qualified and experienced management team with extensive experience in product design, development, innovation, operations, sales and marketing to execute the following growth strategies:
Ø | Increase our leading presence in law enforcement. We intend to build on our reputation as the personal mobility vehicle of choice by aggressively marketing towards the law enforcement community through trade shows and direct and indirect sales. We have identified the key accounts within our core market segments of Law Enforcement, Government and Security/Private Industry that will achieve our primary sales goals and objectives, including driving key regional market penetration, product recognition and brand presence. |
Ø | Capitalize on broader security opportunities. Our success in the law enforcement market has had a viral effect and led to significant inbound demand for the T3 from other security markets, which hold equal, if not greater, potential. These markets include airports, events/promotions, government/military, shopping malls and university campuses. We believe we will generate significant interest in these markets with potentially significant orders over the next 12 to 24 months. |
Ø | Expand the T3 product line to address broader enterprise markets. We intend to leverage the modularity of our sub-systems to configure additional vehicles that address the needs of the broader enterprise markets. These needs include delivery services, personnel transportation and personal mobility. |
Ø | Leverage brand into the consumer market. As we extend our leading position in the law enforcement and security markets and continue to develop our brand name and reputation, we intend to leverage our strong brand to enter the consumer market for personal transportation. We have a robust product roadmap of consumer-focused vehicles that will utilize the same low-cost, high-quality component sourcing and sub-assembly. |
In order to meet our growth objectives, we are taking the following measures:
Ø | Execute key customer trials. We have successfully completed field trials in fiscal year 2007 with more than 30 customers. As a result we have sold over 500 vehicles and shipped over 200 vehicles and have garnered interest from numerous customers for larger orders. Through our trials, we have fostered strategic relationships with influential customers across all market segments. For example, the use of the T3 Series vehicle by early adopters of the technology has led to interest from new emerging markets such as Emergency Medical Services, the Correctional Industry, Utility/Maintenance applications and high-profile/high-visibility national security accounts. By following our field trial strategy, management believes we will see continued success in both our core and emerging markets. |
Ø | Grow our partnering relationships with key security companies. Currently, we have built strategic relationships with the top four leading industry private security providers. In order to see continued success, we have strategically co-marketed the T3 Series as an integrated security solution. This internal sales strategy has positioned our T3 Series as a premier solution due to its economical and environmentally-friendly benefits. In particular, it has led to additional trials of our T3 Series products with customers of these security providers. This strategy has added a level of market penetration within the markets for property management, entertainment/sporting venues, retail department store chains and high-profile venues. |
Ø | Expand our distributors and manufacturing representatives nationwide. T3 Motion has structured its distributors and manufacturing representatives base into six geographic regions within the United States as well as Canada and Mexico. Our sales force has a comprehensive qualification process that identified the top performing representative firms. Subsequently, we have put under contract the leading representative companies. Our coverage is approximately 80% of the key North American markets. We intend to have the remaining territories set up by the second quarter of 2008. |
Ø | Expand our marketing and sales efforts globally. We have positioned global sales offices in four geographic locations (US, Korea, China, and Europe). Included in our global esxpansion plans, we are developing service solutions for each geographic region to maintain our level of customer srevice. |
Ø | Expand our products. We intend to add accessories to our T3 Series such as firearm/rifle mounts, trailer, license plate identification system, vehicle camera, helmets, clothing, first aid kits, emergency response kits, mirrors, lighting, etc. We plan to add additional vehicle lines. Using the core subsystems of our T3 Series, we plan to launch different versions of the T3 product targeting fleet usage in delivery and utility private industry markets. T3 is in the concept phase of its product development process with the product expected to launch in 2009. |
Ø | Leveraging T3 Brand. We plan to leverage the strength of our brand and distribution channels to increase revenue opportunities to offer related products such as license plate recognition, global position tracking (commonly known as “GPS”), asset tracking, defibrillators, ballistic shields, tires, trailers and other related products. |
Ø | Increase our presence in high profile venues. Our product has been present in some high profile venues such as the 2008 and 2007 Super Bowl and the 2008 Daytona 500. We plan to continue to target high profile venues in order to increase our brand awareness. In 2008, these venues include: |
§ | Democratic and Republican National Conventions |
§ | Major Sporting events | |
§ | Major Entertainment Awards Events (i.e., Oscars and Golden Globes Awards Ceremonies) | |
§ | High Traffic Venues (i.e., Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Parade) |
Ø | Increase residual income on current customer base. We will offer additional services and products to our growing customer base such as extended warranties and servic e contracts for T3 Series after warranty periods have expired. |
Marketing and Distribution
We market and sell our T3 product through our direct sales force located at our headquarters in Costa Mesa, California. In 2007, our marketing and sales targets were focused primarily on opportunities in the Western, Central and Eastern United States. In 2008, we will begin expanding our markets globally into Europe, Asia and the Middle East. We have agreements with numerous U.S. regional distributors and manufacturing representative companies, adding substantially to our direct sales force. We also attend and provide exhibits at two trade shows per geographic market per year and advertise quarterly in trade journals.
Early high profile and priority sales were made by initiating field trials that typically utilized one or two vehicles and lasted from one to two weeks. These field trials usually lead to initial product orders within 60 to 90 days. We benefit from sales on both regional outreach and a referral basis, which has a significant multiplicative effect on sales. Additionally, private security organizations are now placing significant orders based on the endorsement of the law enforcement community. Typical initial orders have ranged in size from a single unit to ten units and, for larger customers, have led to larger subsequent orders within three to six months. Our marketing efforts and the interest our products have generated have led to numerous media pieces on a regional, national and international scale, ranging from news articles to television spots on television networks such as ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, CNN, the BBC, Sky News and other local television stations.
We have a procedure for establishing distribution channels for each geographic region. Among other things, distributors should have sales experience to law enforcement agencies and security providers. Each distributor must have service capability for the T3 Series.
Our Suppliers
Today over 70% of our suppliers are local suppliers who provide products and services to low volume early stage development companies. This was required in the early stage to quickly react to design changes, however, as the vehicle design has become stable and sales volumes have increased significantly, we have begun our transition to incorporate a global supply chain. As we move into 2008, we have made significant progress in establishing relationships with suppliers who service volume production stage companies. In addition, investments are being made in production tooling that will yield consistent high quality and lower cost parts designed to T3 Motion’s specifications. In 2008, T3 Motion plans to implement its global supply chain strategy in working directly with established factories within the automotive and motorcycle industry.
Employees
Prior to January 1, 2008, all employees were employed and all salary and bonuses were paid by My Ventures, LLC, a company wholly owned by Ki Nam, our CEO. We reimbursed My Ventures, LLC for all payroll costs incurred. At December 31, 2007, we had 48 employees, all of which were full-time employees. None of these employees are represented by any collective bargaining agreements. We have not experienced a work stoppage. Management believes that our relations with our employees are good.
The following table describes the intellectual property owned by the Company:
Type | Name | Issued by | Description | ||||
Trademark | United State Patent and Trademark Office | Logo, brand name used on our products | |||||
Trademark | United State Patent and Trademark Office | Logo, brand name used on our products | |||||
Trademark | “ENABLING PERSONAL MOBILITY” | United State Patent and Trademark Office | Logo, brand name used on our products |
We also have a patent license agreement from EEV to T3 Motion granting a perpetual, fully paid, transferable exclusive license to make, have made, use, improve and sell an over 10 Horsepower Brushless DC Motor for Traction (US Patent #4,882,524) with respect to products in the world.
On March 31, 2008, We paid $1,000,000 to Immersive Media, to purchase a GeoImmersive License Agreement giving us the right to resell data in the Immersive Media mapping database. We were granted the right to map and, in partnership with Immersive Media, will produce and distribute the content of South Korea. We will be paid a licensing fee for the usage of any data that it has mapped and will have the opportunity to add to the content and will be compensated for any usage of the content that has been added to the Immersive Media database.
Current Customers
While our initial marketing focus has been towards the law enforcement community, we frequently receive orders from airports, hospitals, universities and other enterprises and organizations that have large locations to patrol. We have a backlog of orders for more units to be delivered during 2008.
We have built an extensive list of over 140 high profile customers including the following law enforcement agencies, universities and private enterprises:
· | Los Angeles Police Department; |
· | Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office; |
· | Orange County Sheriff’s Office; |
· | Miami-Dade Police Department; |
· | New York Police Department; |
· | Minn. St. Paul MAC Police; |
· | Florida State University; |
· | University of Southern California; |
· | Virginia Tech Police; |
· | Princeton University; |
· | University of Texas; |
· | Google; |
· | Simon Properties, Inc.; |
· | General Growth Properties, Inc.; |
· | Securitas; |
· | Marriot Vacation Club; and |
· | San Diego Wild Animal Park. |
We have also conducted numerous trials with other potential high-profile clients.
We are not dependent on any one customer. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of our revenue.
Management expects that the proportion of revenue accounted for by these customers will decrease as its new markets develop in the Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
There are over eight leading companies engaged in personal mobility vehicle design, manufacturing and marketing (such as Segway, American Chariot, California Motors-Ride Vehicles, Gorilla Vehicles and others).
Some of our competitors are larger than we are and may have significantly greater name recognition and financial, sales and marketing, technical, manufacturing and other resources. These competitors may also be able to respond rapidly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Our competitors may enter our existing or future markets with products that may provide additional features or that may be introduced earlier than our products.
We attempt to differentiate our company from our competitors by working to provide superior customer service and developing products with appealing functions targeted to our core markets of professional end users in law enforcement and private security. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with our existing or new competitors. If we fail to compete successfully against current or future competitors, our business could suffer.
T3 Motion values its customer inputs as it is a customer driven company. Entering into any negotiation T3 follows a fundamental approach using one of three core customer interests.
· | T3 evaluates the available budget from its customer, building the value of the product rather than price. For example, one packaged T3 is able to fulfill the client’s needs for a multi-shift deployment related to competing products. |
· | T3 maintains a manufacturing process that holds lead times to a 6-8 weeks timeframe. |
· | T3 has an in-field swappable power system that enables our clients to operate vehicles without downtime for charging. The sustainable engineering and design was specifically tailored for the professional end user in law enforcement and private security. |

Additionally, the Compensation Committee reviews and coordinates annually with the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee of T3’s Board of Directors with respect to the compensation of our directors.
Compensation Committee
Committee Members and Independence
During 2007, the Compensation Committee of T3 consisted of all of the board of directors. As a privately held company, the T3 Board is not required to have a majority of its directors be independent nor is the Compensation Committee required to be composed of independent directors. We believe that Mr. Healy and Mr. Snowden would be deemed independent directors within the definition of independence used in the Rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
Role of the Compensation Committee in Establishing Compensation
The Compensation Committee establishes and maintains our executive compensation program through internal evaluations of performance, consultation with various executive compensation consultants and analysis of compensation practices in industries where we compete for experienced senior management. The Compensation Committee reviews our compensation programs and philosophy regularly, particularly in connection with its evaluation and approval of changes in the compensation structure for a given year. The Compensation Committee did not meet during 2007; items were approved by written consent.
Objectives of Our Compensation Program
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain, incentivize and reward talented senior management who can contribute to our growth and success and thereby build value for our stockholders over the long-term. We believe that an effective executive compensation program is critical to our long-term success. By having an executive compensation program that is competitive with the marketplace and focused on driving sustained superior performance, we believe we can align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of shareholders and reward our executive officers for successfully improving shareholder returns. We have developed compensation programs with the following objectives:
· | attract and retain talented senior management to ensure our future success; and |
· | structure a compensation program that appropriately rewards our executive officers for their skills and contributions to our company based on competitive market practice. |
The Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program
The elements of our executive compensation program are as follows:
· | Base salary; |
· | Annual incentive compensation (discretionary bonuses); |
· | Equity-based awards; |
· | Perquisites; and |
· | Other benefits. |
Base Salary. Base salaries provide a fixed form of compensation designed to reward our executive officer’s core competence in his or her role. The Compensation Committee determines base salaries by taking into consideration such factors as competitive industry salaries; the nature of the position; the contribution and experience of the officers; and the length of service. The CEO makes salary recommendations for executive officers other than him and reviews such recommendations with the Compensation Committee.
Annual Incentive Compensation. Discretionary annual incentive compensation is provided to incentivize our executive officers, in any particular year, to pursue particular objectives that the Compensation Committee believes are consistent with the overall goals and long-term strategic direction that the T3 Board has set for our company.
Equity Compensation. On May 15, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) effective August 15, 2007. The purpose of the 2007 Plan was to promote the interests of us and our shareholders by enabling selected key employees to participate in our long-term growth by receiving the opportunity to acquire shares of T3 common stock and to provide for additional compensation based on appreciation in T3 common stock. The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of stock options to key employees, directors and consultants, including the executive officers who provide services to T3 Motion or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Under the 2007 Plan, stock options will vest over a specified period of time (typically four years) contingent solely upon the awardees’ continued employment with us. The 2007 Plan includes certain forfeiture provisions upon an awardees’ separation from service with us. The Compensation Committee determines whether to grant options and the exercise price of the options granted. The Committee has broad discretion in determining the terms, restrictions and conditions of each award granted under the 2007 Plan and no option may be exercisable after ten years from the date of grant. All option awards granted under the 2007 Plan will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of T3’s common stock on the date of grant. Fair market value is defined under the 2007 Plan to be the closing market price of a share of T3’s common stock on the date of grant or if no market price is available, the amount as determined by the Board of Directors subject to confirmation by an outside appraiser. The Compensation Committee retains the discretion to make awards at any time in connection with the initial hiring of a new employee, for retention purposes, or otherwise. We do not have any program, plan or practice to time annual or ad hoc grants of stock options or other equity-based awards in coordination with the release of material non-public information or otherwise. Any or all administrativie functions may be delegated by the Board to a committee of the Board. The Option Plan provides that in the event of a merger of T3 Motion with or into another corporation or of a “change in control” of T3 Motion, including the sale of all or substantially all of T3 Motion’s assets, and certain other events, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment to, each outstanding award and accelerate the vesting of options.
The Option Plan will terminate on the earlier of (i) May 15, 2017, (ii) the date on which all 7,450,000 shares available for issuance under the Option Plan is issued, or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with a merger with or into another corporation or a “change in control” of T3 Motion.
The Board of Directors may generally amend or terminate the Option Plan as determined to be advisable. No such amendment or modification, however, may adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Option Plan unless the optionee or the participant consents to such amendment or modification. Also, certain amendments may require shareholder approval pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.
The above-referenced stock option grants were issued without registration in reliance upon the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) and Rule 701 of the Act based on certain representations made to us by the recipients.
The 2007 Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board, at any time. However, an amendment that would impair the rights of a recipient of any outstanding award will not be valid with respect to such award without the recipient’s consent. A total of 7,450,000 shares of T3 common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were 5,391,500 options granted under the 2007 Plan.
Perquisites. We provide perquisites to our executive officers that we believe are reasonable and consistent with the perquisites that would be available to them at companies with whom we compete for experienced senior management. Perquisites include automobile allowances.
Other Benefits. Other benefits to the executive officers include a 401(k) plan. We maintain a 401(k) plan for our employees, including our NEOs, because we wish to encourage our employees to save some percentage of their cash compensation, through voluntary deferrals, for their eventual retirement. We do not offer employer matching with our 401(k) plan.

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006 and should be read in conjunction with T3 Motion’s consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those consolidate financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Prospectus. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
T3 Motion, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on March 16, 2006, under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company develops and manufactures T3 vehicles, which are electric three-wheel stand-up vehicles that are directly targeted to the public safety and private security markets. T3 vehicles have been designed to tackle a host of daily professional functions, from community policing to patrolling of airports, military bases, campuses, malls, public event venues and other high-density areas. The Company exited its development stage in January 2007 when it began generating revenues from selling its vehicles.
Effective December 15, 2006, the Company declared a 30,000-to-1 stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share amounts have been adjusted throughout the financial statements for this stock split.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis:
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash
The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. From time to time, the Company’s cash balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to these deposits.
Receivables
The Company performs periodic evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. The Company generally does not require collateral to secure its accounts receivable. The Company estimates credit losses based on management’s evaluation of historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors. Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess or obsolete inventories.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated lives or the remaining lease term. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company does not believe there has been any impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Under the provisions of SAB No. 104, the Company recognizes revenues when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, product delivery and acceptance have occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
For all sales, the Company uses a binding purchase order as evidence of an arrangement. Delivery occurs when goods are shipped for customers with FOB Shipping Point terms. Shipping documents are used to verify delivery and customer acceptance. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund. The Company offers a standard product warranty to its customers for defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year or 2,500 miles, whichever comes first, and has no other post-shipment obligations. The Company assesses collectibility based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by evaluations and the customer's payment history.
All amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as net sales, while all costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are classified as cost of sales.
The Company does not enter into contracts that require fixed pricing beyond the term of the purchase order. All sales via distributor agreements are accompanied with a purchase order. Further, the Company does not allow returns of unsold items.
The Company has executed various distribution agreements whereby the distributors agreed to purchase T3 vehicle packages (one T3, two power modules, and one charger per package). The terms of the agreements have monthly delivery schedules of the vehicles to be sold through the distributors in specified geographic regions. Under the terms of the agreements, the distributor takes ownership of the vehicles and the Company deems the items sold at delivery to the distributor.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company maintains a stock option plan and records expenses attributable to the Company’s stock option plan. Effective March 16, 2006 (date of inception), the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective method, in which compensation cost was recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.
With the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company elected to amortize stock-based compensation for awards granted on or after the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on March 16, 2006 (date of inception) on a straight-line basis over the requisite service (vesting) period for the entire award.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be realized through future operations.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase 6.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2007, but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to the net losses for the period. No options or warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2006.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
Advertising
Advertising expenses are charged against operations when incurred. Advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006 were $73,839 and $63,109, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” which requires entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 5, 2008. We will adopt this statement as of the beginning of 2009 and are currently assessing the potential impact of adoption.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 159 to determine the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, SFAS No. 157 sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are generally required to be applied on a prospective basis. In February 2008, the FASB approved a FASB Staff Position (FSP) that permits companies to partially defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The FSP did not permit companies to defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities or for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial position or operating results.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements the impact of that tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for non public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying the provisions of FIN No. 48 upon initial adoption, will be reported as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adoption of FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Business Segments
We currently only have one reportable business segment due to the fact that we derive our revenue from one product.

Revenues. Our revenues are from sales of T3 personal mobility vehicles, power modules, chargers and related accessories. We exited as a development stage company in January 2007 when we began selling our vehicles and generating revenue. The increase in revenue is attributable to the conclusion of the prototype development of the T3 unit in fiscal year 2006 and commencement of sales of the T3 product and accessories to customers in fiscal year 2007. Management believes that sales will continue to grow based on the firm establishment of its sales and marketing strategy.
Cost of revenues. The increase in cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 attributable to the sale of products and accessories to customers commencing in January 2007. Prior to January 2007, we were a development stage company and did not generate any sales or cost of revenues.
Gross loss. The gross loss was attributable to the Company having begun the initial sale of the T3 product and accessories to major customers in January 2007. As a result of the commencement of production, we incurred cost overruns and inefficiencies in our production process. Management has and will continue to evaluate our processes and materials to reduce the costs of revenue over the next fiscal year.
Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing increased due to the conclusion of the prototype development of the T3 unit in fiscal year 2006 and commencement of sales of the T3 product and accessories to customers in fiscal year 2007. The costs are mainly attributable to the hiring of sales and marketing staff, travel and trade show expenses, and other sales and marketing related expenses.
Research and development. Research and development costs, which included development expenses such as salaries, consultant fees, cost of supplies and materials for samples, as well as outside services costs related to R&D, was $1,243,430 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $1,251,169 for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006, a decrease of $7,739, or 0.63%.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses was $3,454,496 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $2,215,460 for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006, an increase of $1,239,036, or 55.9%. This increase is primarily attributable to increased wages from the addition of staff, increased depreciation and increased professional fees.
Total other income (expense), net. Our total other income (expenses), net consisted of interest expense of $63,136, interest income of $3,239, and other income of $12,426 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to interest expense of $34,195 for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006. The increase in interest expense is related to the increase in related party payables during the year.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $(8,577,232), or $(0.24) per basic and diluted share compared to $(3,500,798), or $(0.12) per basic and diluted share, for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006. The increase in net loss is attributable to strategic product sales at higher average costs per product. Significant improvements have been and will continue to be made to lower the average cost per unit. Management will continue to implement our cost reduction strategy over the next year to continue to reduce the average cost per product.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal capital requirements are to fund working capital requirements, invest in research and development and capital equipment and to make our debt service payments. We will continue to raise equity and/or secure additional debt to meet our working capital requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2007, our independent registered public accounting firm noted in its report that we have incurred losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $12.0 million as of December 31, 2007, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that our current source of funds and current liquid assets will allow us to continue as a going concern through at least the end of 2008. We started selling our vehicles in 2007 and we have obtained equity financing from third parties of $6,000,000 in the first quarter of 2008 and may raise additional debt and/or equity capital to finance future activities through 2008. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $1.8 million of customer purchase commitments to be fulfilled and realized during 2008. In light of these plans, management is confident in our ability to continue as a going concern.
Until Management achieves our cost reduction strategy over the next year, we will require additional capital to meet our working capital requirements, research and development and capital requirements. As of May 12, 2008, through our Private Placement Memoradum, we have raised over $6.6 million of additional equity to meet our working capital requirements. We will continue to raise additional equity and/or financing to meet our working capital requirements.
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and the net proceeds from this offering. As of December 31, 2007, our cash and cash equivalents were $4,932,272, or 64.7% of total assets, an increase of $4,925,684 from December 31, 2006. The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2007, was primarily attributable to equity raised of $9,688,000, $2,000,000 of proceeds from related party notes, offset in part by cash used in operating activities of $6,655,226.
Cash Flows
Year Ended December 31, 2007
Net cash flow used in operating activities was $6,655,226 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with $3,184,654 for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006. The increase of net cash flow used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was mainly due to increase in our cost of goods and hiring of additional employees.
Net cash flow used in investing activities was $780,867 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $216,002 for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006. Uses of cash flow for investing activities included parts tooling, equipment and facilities improvements. The increase of net cash flow used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2007 was mainly due to the set up of our production lines.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $12,362,554 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $3,407,244 for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006. The increase in net cash flow was mainly due to $7,388,000 in equity financing from sale of stock and contributions from stockholders, proceeds from a related party note of $2,000,000 and the collection of a related party note receivable of $2,300,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007.
On December 31, 2007, we received $3,000,000 from the sale of 1,851,852 shares of our common stock and $2,000,000 from the sale of 12% secured debt in the principal amount of $2,000,000 due December 31, 2008.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2007, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Operating lease amounts include the lease for the Company’s main office, manufacturing facility, and automobiles. All leases are on a fixed repayment basis. None of the leases includes contingent rentals.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than the arrangement described above, we have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Related Party Transactions
For a description of our related party transactions see the section of this Prospectus entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, related-party receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and related-party payables. We consider investments in highly liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Interest Rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. At December 31, 2007, we had $4,932,272 in cash and cash equivalents. A hypothetical 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on our earnings or loss, or the fair market value or cash flows of these instruments.
Comprehensive Income or Loss
We have $777 of other comprehensive loss, which is related to foreign currency transaction loss from out wholly owned subsidiary T3 Motion Ltd. (UK).
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There were no changes in or disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the last two fiscal years or the interim period from January 1, 2006 through the date of this prospectus.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
T3 Motion, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of T3 Motion, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit on its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 financial position of T3 Motion, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for year ended December 31, 2007 and for the period March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1, the Company has incurred significant operating losses, had negative cash flows from operations in 2007 and 2006, and accumulated deficit of $12,078,030 at December 31, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result form the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Year Ended December 31, 2007 and the Period From
March 16, 2006 (Date of Inception) Through December 31, 2006
Organization
T3 Motion, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on March 16, 2006, under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company develops and manufactures T3 vehicles, which are electric three-wheel stand-up vehicles that are directly targeted to the public safety and private security markets. T3 vehicles have been designed to tackle a host of daily professional functions, from community policing to patrolling of airports, military bases, campuses, malls, public event venues and other high-density areas. The Company was in development stage until January 2007 when it began generating substantial revenues from selling its vehicles.
Effective December 15, 2006, the Company declared a 30,000-to-1 stock split of the Company’s common stock. All share amounts have been adjusted throughout the financial statements for this stock split.
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception (March 16, 2006) and has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations. Further, at December 31, 2007 accumulated deficit amounted to $12,078,030. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Management believes that its current sources of funds and current liquid assets will allow the Company to continue as a going concern through at least the end of 2008. The Company started selling its vehicles in 2007 and it has obtained equity financing from third parties of $6,644,000 through May 12, 2008 (see Note 10) and may raise additional debt and/or equity capital to finance future activities through 2008. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.8 million of customer purchase commitments to be fulfilled and realized during 2008. In light of these plans, management is confident in the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of T3 Motion, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, T3 Motion Ltd. (UK). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, collectibility of accounts receivable, recoverability of long-lived assets, and realizability of inventories, warranty accruals, stock-based compensation and deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company measures the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency translations are included in other comprehensive income. Translation losses of $777 and $0 were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash
The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. From time to time, the Company’s cash balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to these deposits. At December 31, 2007, the Company had balances in excess of the FDIC limit.
Accounts Receivable
The Company performs periodic evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. The Company generally does not require collateral to secure its accounts receivable. The Company estimates credit losses based on management’s evaluation of historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2007, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $30,000. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts.
As of December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for approximately 35% of total accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-process, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined by the average-cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. This evaluation primarily includes an analysis of forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, among consideration of other factors. Based upon the evaluation, provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the respective inventories.
As of December 31, 2007, one vendor accounted for approximately 25% of total accounts payable.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated lives or the remaining lease term. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company does not believe there has been any impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, related party receivable, accounts payable, accrued expense, and related party payables. The carrying value for all such instruments approximates fair value due either to the short-term nature of the instruments or the fact that prevailing interest rates are not substantially different from the Company’s borrowing rates at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. Under the provisions of SAB No. 104, the Company recognizes revenues when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, product delivery and acceptance have occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
For all sales, the Company uses a binding purchase order as evidence of an arrangement. Delivery occurs when goods are shipped for customers with FOB Shipping Point terms. Shipping documents are used to verify delivery and customer acceptance. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund. The Company offers a standard product warranty to its customers for defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year or 2,500 miles, whichever comes first (see Note 8), and has no other post-shipment obligations. The Company assesses collectibility based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by evaluations and the customer's payment history.
All amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling are classified as net sales, while all costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are classified as cost of sales.
The Company does not enter into contracts that require fixed pricing beyond the term of the purchase order. All sales via distributor agreements are accompanied with a purchase order. Further, the Company does not allow returns of unsold items.
The Company has executed various distribution agreements whereby the distributors agreed to purchase T3 vehicle packages (one T3, two power modules, and one charger per package). The terms of the agreements require minimum re-order amounts for the vehicles to be sold through the distributors in specified geographic regions. Under the terms of the agreements, the distributor takes ownership of the vehicles and the Company deems the items sold at delivery to the distributor.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company maintains a stock option plan (see Note 7) and records expenses attributable to the Company’s stock option plan pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment,
Under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company amortizes the fair value of stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service (vesting) period for the entire award.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be realized through future operations.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase approximately 6.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2007, but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to the net losses for the period. No options or warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2006.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
Advertising
Advertising expenses are charged against operations when incurred. Advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006 were $73,839 and $63,109, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Segments
We currently only have one reportable business segment due to the fact that we derive our revenue from one product.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which requires entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 5, 2008. The Company will adopt this statement as of the beginning of 2009 and is currently assessing the potential impact of adoption.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 159 to determine the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, SFAS No. 157 sets forth a definition of fair value, and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are generally required to be applied on a prospective basis. In February 2008, the FASB approved a FASB Staff Position (FSP) that permits companies to partially defer the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The FSP did not permit companies to defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities or for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial position or operating results.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements the impact of that tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for non public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying the provisions of FIN No. 48 upon initial adoption, will be reported as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that adoption of FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company has available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9,666,000 for federal and $9,764,000 for state purposes and $102,000 for foreign purposes which start to expire through 2026 for federal and 2016 for California purposes and indefinitely for foreign purposes. The Company’s use of its net operating losses may be restricted in future years due to the limitations pursuant to IRC Section 382 on changes in ownership.
NOTE 6 – EQUITY
On December 31, 2007, the Company raised $5.0 million through an equity and debt financing transaction (“Financing”) with Immersive Media Corp. (“Immersive”). The Company issued and sold 1,851,852 shares of common stock at $1.62 per share to Immersive for a total purchase price of $3,000,000. The Company also issued a 12% secured promissory note in the amount of $2,000,000 due December 31, 2008 (see Note 9). In connection with the promissory note, the Company granted warrants to purchase 697,639 shares of common stock, exercisable at $1.081 per share. The warrants are exercisable for five years (see Note 7).
In addition, during 2007, the Company sold 1,059,770 shares of common stock for $598,000.
Upon the completion of the $3,000,000 equity financing, the Company agreed to pay a third-party consulting firm $210,000 as a finder’s fee. Furthermore, the Company agreed that if the consulting firm assists the Company in raising at least an additional $6.5 million from at least three or more institutional investors, assists in retaining an appropriate public relations firm after it has become a publicly traded company and other services, then the Company will issue the consulting firm a warrant to purchase 1,862,069 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share, as payment for services rendered, and in lieu of the $210,000 finder’s fee and any remaining balance of placement agent fee owed to the consulting firm (but not any third party broker/dealers). As of December 31, 2007, the Company did not issue the warrants, as the terms of the agreement had not been fulfilled.
See Notes 7 and 9 for additional equity transactions.
NOTE 7 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Common Stock Options
On August 15, 2007 the Company adopted the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), under which direct stock awards or options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock may be granted to employees and nonemployees of the Company. The Plan was administered by the Board of Directors. The Plan permitted the issuance of up to 7,450,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Options granted under the Plan vest 25% per year over four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant.
A summary of common stock option activity under the Plan during the period from August 15, 2007 to December 31, 2007 is presented below:

Summary of Assumptions and Activity
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for service and performance based awards, and a binomial model for market based awards. In estimating fair value, expected volatilities used by the Company were based on the historical volatility of the underlying common stock of its peer group, and other factors such as implied volatility of traded options of a comparable peer group. The expected life assumptions for all periods were derived from a review of annual historical employee exercise behavior of option grants with similar vesting periods of a comparable peer group. The risk-free rate used to calculate the fair value is based on the expected term of the option. In all cases, the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield bond curve in effect at the time of grant.
The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options and warrants granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and experience. The following table presents details of the assumptions used to calculate the weighted-average grant date fair value of common stock options and warrants granted by the Company, along with certain other pertinent information:

Intrinsic value of options exercised | $ | - | $ | N/A | ||||
Fair value of options vested | $ | 1,875,149 | $ | N/A | ||||
Upon the exercise of common stock options, the Company issues new shares from its authorized shares.
At December 31, 2007, the amount of unearned stock-based compensation currently estimated to be expensed from fiscal 2008 through 2011 related to unvested common stock options is approximately $3.2 million. The weighted-average period over which the unearned stock-based compensation is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.8 years. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested common stock options, the Company may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense. Future stock-based compensation expense and unearned stock-based compensation will increase to the extent that the Company grants additional common stock options or other equity awards.
Warrants
From time to time, the Company issues warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to non-employees for services rendered or to be rendered in the future (see Note 9). Such warrants are issued outside of the Plan. A summary of the warrant activity during the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 is presented below:

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
The Company leases two facilities in Costa Mesa, California under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire in 2008 and 2012, respectively. These leases require monthly lease payments of approximately $8,000 and $27,000 per month, respectively. In addition, the Company has one automobile lease, which expires in December 2009.
Lease expense for the facilities and automobiles were approximately $407,000 and $168,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from March 16, 2006 (date of inception) through December 31, 2006, respectively.
Future minimum annual payments under these non-cancelable operating leases and automobile leases as of December 31, 2007 are as follows:
Years Ending December 31, | Total | ||||
2008 | $ | 386,000 | |||
2009 | 370,000 | ||||
2010 | 299,000 | ||||
2011 | 309,000 | ||||
2012 | 240,000 | ||||
$ | 1,604,000 |
Indemnities and Guarantees
During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include certain agreements with the Company’s officers under which the Company may be required to indemnify such person for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. In connection with its facility and automobile leases, the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities and automobiles, respectively. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company would be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations and no liability has been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Warranties
The Company’s warranty policy generally provides coverage for components of the vehicle, power modules, and charger system that the Company produces. Typically, the coverage period is the shorter of one calendar year or 2,500 miles, from the date of sale. Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranties are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using estimated information on the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims. Revision to the reserves for estimated product warranties is made when necessary, based on changes in these factors. Management actively studies trends of claims and takes action to improve vehicle quality and minimize claims.
The T3 Series vehicle is a front wheel drive all electric vehicle and as such the front fork assembly is the main vehicle drive system. In late 2007, the Company made significant improvements to this drive system by implementing into production a new belt drive system. The system offers greater efficiency and minimizes the need for routine maintenance while improving the overall quality of the vehicle. The belt drive system is standard on new 2008 models and is reverse compatible with all older year models. The Company has agreed to retro-fit existing vehicles that are in service with the new system. |

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
We have adopted provisions in our articles of incorporation that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Delaware law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:
· | for any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
· | for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
· | for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock repurchase or redemption, as provided under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or |
· | for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
In addition, our bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on our behalf, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, if our board of directors authorizes the proceeding for which such person is seeking indemnification (other than proceedings that are brought to enforce the indemnification provisions pursuant to the bylaws). We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant’s executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations.
The registrant’s articles of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors.
In addition, the registrant’s bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on our behalf, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, if our board of directors authorizes the proceeding for which such person is seeking indemnification (other than proceedings that are brought to enforce the indemnification provisions pursuant to the bylaws). The registrant maintains director and officer liability insurance.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant’s executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
In March 2006, we issued 30,000,000 shares of our common stock to The Nam Family Trust, a trust affiliated with our founder Ki Nam, in exchange for cash in the amount of $30,000. This sale of stock did not involve any public offering, general advertising or solicitation. At the time of the issuance, Mr. Nam had fair access to and was in possession of all available material information about our company, as he is an officer and director of our company. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. On the basis of these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock to our founding shareholder qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Between December 2006 and January 2007, we issued 4,512,212 shares of our common stock to members of Mr. Nam’s family at $0.33 per share. This sale of stock did not involve any public offering, general advertising or solicitation. At the time of the issuance, the purchasers had fair access to and was in possession of all available material information about our company. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. On the basis of these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
In September 2007, we completed an offering of our common stock to a group of private investors. We issued 2,758,621 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock for cash at $0.87 per share to three shareholders. This September 2007 transaction (a) involved no general solicitation, and (b) involved only accredited purchasers. Thus, we believe that the offering was exempt from registration under Regulation D, Rule 505 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In January 2008, we completed an offering of our common stock to ImmersiveMedia. We issued 1,851,852 shares of our common stock for cash at $1.62 per share for an aggregate price of $3,000,000. We also issued 12% promissory notes in the principal amount of $2,000,000 and warrants to purchase 697,639 shares at $1.081 per share in exchange for $2,000,000. This January 2008 transaction (a) involved no general solicitation, and (b) involved only accredited purchasers. Thus, we believe that the offering was exempt from registration under Regulation D, Rule 505 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In March 2008, we completed an offering of our common stock to one shareholder. We issued 3,896,103 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 1,298,701, 1,298,701, and 1,298,701 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.08, $1.77 and $2.00 per share, respectively, for cash at an aggregate price of $3,000,000. This March 2008 transaction (a) involved no general solicitation, and (b) involved only accredited purchasers. Thus, we believe that the offering was exempt from registration under Regulation D, Rule 505 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In May 2008, we completed an offering of an aggregate of 390,640 shares of its common stock at $1.65 per share to 41 accredited investors (the “Offering”) pursuant to subscription agreements for an aggregate price of $644,554. The issuance of the securities describe above were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Rule 4(2) and Regulation D and the rules thereunder, including Rule 506 insofar as: (1) the purchasers were each an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a); (2) the transfer of the securities were restricted by us in accordance with Rule 502(d); (3) there were no other non-accredited investors involved in the transaction within the meaning of Rule 506(b); and (4) the offer and sale of the securities was not effected through any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c).

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To 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; |
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 securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) 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 of 1933, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of offering.
4. For determining liability of the Company under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the Company undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company or used or referred to by the Company; |
iii. | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Company or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Company; and |
iv. | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Company to the purchaser. |
5. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
6. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons under the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-1 and authorized this Form S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Costa Mesa, State of California on May 13, 2008.
