Overview

We manufacture, market and sell ECOTRAX^TM our composite rail ties and STRUXURE^TM, our structural building products, such as pilings, I-beams, T-beams and boards, which, based upon patented technology, are fully derived from common recycled plastics and high-density polymers, such as polyethylene, polystyrene and polypropylene. These recycled plastics, which are combined with recycled plastic composites containing encapsulated fiberglass, achieve structural thickness and strength and are resistant to changing shape under constant stress (or creep resistant). Our products, manufactured through an extrusion process, are eco-friendly, non-corrosive, moisture impervious, non-chemical leaching and insect and rot resistant. Our products possess superior lifecycles and generally have greater durability and require less maintenance than competitive products made from wood, steel or concrete.

Our ECOTRAX rail ties have been extensively tested, both domestically and internationally, and have garnered initial market acceptance, with in excess of 200,000 rail ties installed in track that were produced based on the formulations we use. We are currently receiving a growing number of orders from an expanding customer base.

The strength and durability of our STRUXURE building products have been well documented through their use in the construction of three short-span bridges at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, designed to support the extreme tonnage requirements for armored military vehicles such as tanks, and two at Fort Eustis, Virginia, designed to support high-load railroad traffic. We have recently issued a standards guide, drafted by Parsons Brinkerhoff, for short-span bridges. Two short-span bridges within the U.S. highway system, one in Maine and one in Ohio, have been constructed based on this standards guide. Recently, we’ve assembled our ECOTRAX composite rail ties into equipment or construction mats. Historically, these mats have been constructed from traditional lumber. Our STRUXURE Mats can withstand the impact of heavy construction equipment and will last longer than the traditional mats. Testing of our STRUXURE Mats with multiple oil and gas pipeline contractors has proven successful and we continue to raise awareness within this market. Other markets where we feel our products provide an advantage include golf courses, municipalities and parks and recreation departments for applications such as boardwalks, short-span light vehicular and pedestrian bridges and various applications within the marina sector.

The combination of the materials that are extruded which result in the products we sell is based upon patents which Rutgers University holds and which have been exclusively licensed to us for North and South America, the Caribbean, South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Russia, Africa (except for South Africa) and China (where we are a co-licensee). There is one additional licensee of the patents with whom we work in cooperation within the territories not subject to our license, particularly in Europe, India, Southeast Asia and South Africa. Currently, we are the only manufacturer of ECOTRAX and STRUXURE products and work in collaboration with the other license holder. Under our license, we can grant sublicenses for territories and product applications that we may not exploit. Rutgers continues to expand the patent portfolio upon which our license is based, which serves to enhance our position in the market. Our association with Rutgers’ Center for Advanced Materials via Immiscible Polymer Processing provides us access to their scientists to provide ongoing research for the products and composition of products we desire to produce, thereby eliminating much of the cost associated with internal research and development (or R&D) efforts and reducing our overall R&D expenses.

Scientists associated with Rutgers developed the technologies that underlie the patents starting in the 1980s. This technology combines recycled consumer and industrial plastic wastes, that would otherwise be discarded into landfills, with encapsulated recycled fiberglass, and transforms these materials through an extrusion process into structural products which are more durable, have a substantially greater useful life and offer more flexible design features than traditional products made from wood, steel and concrete. Our products also resist rot and damaging insects without the use of chemical treatments and require significantly less maintenance throughout their lifecycles than traditional wood, steel or concrete products. In addition, beyond the use of recycled products as part of our manufacturing process, our recycled composite products are environmentally friendly, in part because they sequester carbon and do not contain creosote, a carcinogen used to coat conventional wood crossties.

We are currently marketing our products to both the U.S. domestic and international railroad industry, the U.S. military, and industrial engineering and contracting firms. Our initial products consist of:

composite rail ties marketed under the brand name ECOTRAX; and

structural composite I-beams, T-beams, pilings along with tongue-and-groove planking, equipment/construction mats and various sizes of boards, all marketed under the brand name STRUXURE.

Although relatively new to the marketplace, our products have been tested and validated in several ways over the past twenty years. The Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Corrosion Prevention funded a technology innovation demonstration project at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to test the strength and durability of the thermoplastic products we produce. The U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory commissioned a bridge solely made from our products except for sill plates and steel bolts. Independent third parties validated the load testing which included having an M-1 tank transverse the bridge. The conclusion of the DOD Director of Corrosion Policy was that the bridge was not only suitable for the U.S. Department of Defense, but also for the U.S. Department of Transportation. This endorsement of our products confirmed their structural and environmental potential. In addition, our ECOTRAX rail ties have been tested in a heavy-axle-load test track environment and have been sold to and used by Class 1 railroads. For example, an ECOTRAX rail tie which had been in-track for between eight to ten years was recently removed and tested within a laboratory environment, confirming our ECOTRAX rail ties do not rust, rot or lose any significant mechanical properties.

We believe that by combining our technology and products with the new management team we have assembled, a robust opportunity exists to create and grow our revenue base substantially and become the market leader in recycled plastic-based structural components for load-bearing applications.

Products

Our licensed, patented technology allows for the installation and use of rail ties and standard building products not with engineered resins, but with our recycled material formulations. This advantage secures not only a less expensive raw material but also improved performance. Benefits include:

lifecycle savings based on lower maintenance, due to greater durability and longevity;

improved performance resulting from non-corrosive, rot and insect resistant and non-chemical leaching attributes of our products; and

a positive environmental impact.

We are currently selling ECOTRAX rail ties globally, for freight, transit and specialty (such as mining and industrial applications) rail systems whose cost-benefit analysis determined the utility of installing recycled, composite rail ties in high-stress, overheated and moisture-laden areas.

The STRUXURE structural composite products, such as pilings, I-beams (patent pending), tongue-and-groove planking (patent pending) and other boards, are innovative products but have been in use for the past decade. In 2003, a predecessor licensee initially installed these products for a vehicular bridge over the Mullica River in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. In addition, an earlier bridge construction project was successfully completed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri in 1998. Based on a 2007 analysis performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, these bridges were determined to be as durable as they were when first installed and remarkably have required virtually no maintenance. In 2009, we supplied the materials for, and participated in, the installation of the first two structural composite bridges designed for use by military tanks. These bridges can support over 70 tons for track vehicles and over 85 tons for wheeled vehicles. In 2010, we again participated in a unique project, supplying the materials and helping in the design and build of two bridges. These bridges were developed for rail use and are specified to hold 130 tons. Both the tank and rail bridge projects were constructed almost entirely from our materials including pilings, pile caps, girders, decking, rail ties (where applicable), rub rails and railings. Recently two short-span bridges within the U.S. highway system, one in Maine and one in Ohio, have been constructed utilizing our STRUXURE building products, based on our recently release standards guide drafted by Parsons Brinkerhoff.

In addition, we’ve recently used our ECOTRAX composite rail ties in the assembly of equipment or construction mats. Historically, these mats have been assembled from traditional lumber. Our STRUXURE Mats can withstand the impact of heavy construction equipment and will last longer than the traditional mats. Testing of our STRUXURE Mats with multiple oil and gas pipeline contractors has proven successful and we continue to raise awareness within this market.

We intend to continue to develop new products to be utilized in various engineered solutions that will serve to expand our markets, to include golf courses, municipalities and parks and recreation departments for applications such as boardwalks, short-span light vehicular and pedestrian bridges and various applications within the marina sector.

Our products were developed after years of research at Rutgers Center for Advanced Materials via Immiscible Polymer Processing, or AMIPP. The AMIPP Advanced Polymer Center is a group of collaborative researchers and stakeholders dedicated to exploring immiscible polymer blends and the novel structures and materials obtained by processing such blends. Founded as a Research Excellence Center by the State of New Jersey and Rutgers University, AMIPP depends on an interactive relationship with industry, government, and other universities to generate a steady stream of new technologies, materials, and products in an environment focused on research, development, and commercialization.

Our products’ novel attributes result from the processes and formulations developed by AMIPP. The Rutgers scientists have developed a process using recycled encapsulated fiberglass that creates a 100% recycled plastic composite product with structural stiffness, strength, and creep resistance. The fiberglass blends thoroughly with a high-density polyethylene (or HDPE) solution, creating a validated load-bearing product. The immiscible polymer blending developed at Rutgers takes HDPE plastic (the second most common recycled plastic) as an input and blends it with fiberglass encapsulated within polypropylene (as found in automotive bumper scrap) in a manner that orients the glass fibers and results in properties that exceed the law of mixtures for the individual materials. This creates products with the best features of both, including the flexibility of HDPE and the stiffness and strength of fiberglass. The modulus and strength benefits have been well documented in research conducted at Rutgers over the past twenty years.

The benefits of the resultant products are many. Our products neither contain nor leach harmful chemicals. They can withstand very hot and very cold temperatures and do not biodegrade or oxidize. In one series of tests, our products were subjected to conditions that simulated decades of exposure to various weather patterns. This accelerated weather testing was stopped at 50 years, demonstrating that our products have the ability to last more than 50 years with minimal maintenance. Practical experience from landfills has suggested that HDPE and fiberglass will take thousands of years to decompose. Comparatively, wood placed outside in the presence of water begins to degrade quickly. Wood can also have knots, soft spots, and other imperfections not found in our products.

The effect of ultraviolet (UV) rays on our products, as demonstrated in a 2001 study, shows degradation of 0.003 inch per year, which is negligible when compared to the effect of UV rays on wood, or the effect of rust on steel. Carbon black pigment, a natural compound, can be added to our products to reduce the degradation caused by UV rays. Our products have a melting temperature of 125 degrees Celsius and freeze at -125 degrees Celsius; neither temperature is observable under natural conditions on Earth’s surface. The inherent strength and flexibility of the material greatly reduce any concerns of a catastrophic failure.

Our products are virtually impervious to moisture absorption and retain key mechanical properties in humid and wet environments. In addition, our products are resistant to attack by insects such as marine borers that have been shown to destroy the integrity of marine wood structures. Our products also have a high resistance to the abrasion that may occur in marine environments due to sand and salt content found in the water environment. The sand and salt-water resistance comes from the fact that HDPE is one of the more resistant polymer materials, as demonstrated by Taber abrasion tests as well as chemical resistance tests. For these reasons, our material is ideal for the harshest of marine conditions.

The extrusion molding process developed by Rutgers creates a product with a grain-like appearance that is rough to the touch. This characteristic makes our products less susceptible to slipping compared to other composite, plastic-based products with smooth surfaces.

Our products are also resistant to creep. According to ASTM D2990, creep is the permanent deformation resulting from prolonged application of stress below the elastic limit. Creep is influenced by the magnitude of the load, the time the load is applied, and temperature. Testing consists of applying a load to a test specimen and measuring the strain after a specified time. Tensile creep is the strain produced by a specified tensile load after a specified time of application. Flexural creep is the outer fiber strain produced by a specified flexural load after a specified time of application. Our products are designed for 600-psi allowable tensile, compressive and flexural stress. That means that one could park a 71-ton tank on a bridge constructed with our products for 25 years, then drive off the bridge, and the bridge would regain its original shape. The strain for our structural products is 3% or more, which is over four times the fracture strain of wood, at 0.7% strain.

Utilizing 100% recycled plastics and plastic composites, our products have the distinct advantage of being environmentally friendly. In our processes, we:

divert plastic from the waste stream;

do not use any natural products (such as wood) in our products;

do not use any chemicals or toxins to manufacture our products; and

develop and sell products that can be recycled again at the eventual end of their useful lives.

Market Opportunities

Overview

The deteriorating state of the infrastructure in the United States presents enormous opportunities for our two product lines, ECOTRAX and STRUXURE. Conditions affecting standard building materials such as corrosion, crumbling, material rot, the application of toxic chemicals to retard product failure and maintenance and repair concerns such as painting, staining, rust treatments, and, replacement and downtime costs can be reduced or eliminated by the use of our recycled structural composite building products.

Our two product lines are aimed at different markets, each of which presents unique opportunities.

Our ECOTRAX rail tie products are targeted primarily towards North American railroad customers who are expected to significantly increase capital expenditures in the next several years. Similar trends are expected to emerge outside of North America as a result of increased infrastructure spending by both foreign governments and transportation companies.

The potential applications for our STRUXURE building products are diverse and can provide solutions across multiple industries. Our intended client base will be various Federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, as well as other local municipalities that look to rebuild public infrastructure, and managers of recreational spaces including, parks, golf courses and marinas.

Railroad Applications

While there are not many new miles of railroad track being built each year in the United States, the nation’s railroads still must spend billions annually to repair and maintain the nation’s network of 140,490 miles (operated by mainly freight companies). Replacing worn out rail ties is one of the industry’s biggest ongoing expenses. Railroads have traditionally relied on using wood ties, but plastic rail ties, using the latest in plastic technology, offer advantages of lower long-term operating costs and several environmental benefits. Even though our purchase price may be more expensive, ECOTRAX rail ties are 58% and 75% less expensive than wood and concrete rail ties, respectively, over the course of their lifetime. Due to its durability and longevity, ECOTRAX rail ties are well positioned to take advantage of the spending on railroad infrastructure.

According to the Policy & Economics Department of the Association of American Railroads (ARA), over the 24 year period from 1980-2003, Class I railroads spent more than $320 billion, a little more than $13 billion per year (approximately 44% of their operating revenue), on capital expenditures and maintenance expenses related to infrastructure and equipment.

The ARA estimates that, including the cost of maintenance, railroads in recent years have been pouring roughly $20 billion a year in private investments into the nation’s rail infrastructure and will continue to do so.

The Railway Tie Association estimates that the total number of rail ties sold will total nearly 20.4 million units in 2011, 20.9 million units in 2012, and 21.4 million units in 2013.

Structural Building Products

We plan to market our STRUXURE building components for applications that are required to support heavy loads or withstand environmental conditions that generally result in higher maintenance and replacement costs. The success of our building products in the construction of pedestrian and heavy-load short-span bridges has been well documented. This is demonstrated by the incorporation of our products in the construction of several vehicular and heavy-load short-span bridges for the U.S. Department of Defense at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and Fort Bragg, North Carolina. These bridges have supported heavy armored vehicles, including tanks. (See Figure 1.1 below.) The U.S. Department of Defense’s evaluation of these structures resulted in a pronouncement that these bridges should last for 50 years with little maintenance, should be considered for current use by others Federal departments (including the U.S. Department of Transportation), and promote environmental goals.

Congress has mandated that the DOD consider corrosion prevention technologies in the acquisition process and establish a coordinated research and development program of the prevention and mitigation of corrosion of military equipment and infrastructure.

According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the U.S. Department of Defense spends $22.5 billion annually on equipment and infrastructure as an impact of corrosion.

In addition to supplying municipal government customers who plan to rebuild infrastructure, such as short-span bridges, we believe we are well positioned to introduce our products as components with diverse applications in the recreational market, including for use in parks, golf courses and marinas that have routinely used traditional products for piers, bulk heads, boardwalks, light traffic and pedestrian bridges and similar applications.

The American Society of Civil Engineers has recommended that the U.S. spend $17 billion a year on bridge maintenance, significantly more than the $10.5 billion that is currently spent each year.

Regarding docks, marinas, and piers, the GAO Report on Marine Transportation stated that 13 Federal agencies spent an average of $3.9 billion annually on the construction and maintenance of federally authorized projects.

Recently, we’ve assembled our ECOTRAX composite rail ties into equipment or construction mats. Historically, these mats have been constructed from traditional lumber. Our STRUXURE Mats can withstand the impact of heavy construction equipment and will last longer than traditional mats. Testing of our STRUXURE Mats with multiple oil and gas pipeline contractors has proven successful and we continue to seek out other applications of this product concept.

We believe the long-term opportunities for our recycled structural components are substantial.

Sales and Marketing

Market adoption of our products increases with each successful implementation that proves our products are durable and maintain their structural properties over time. We began with a well-documented project using our STRUXURE building products when we collaborated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build bridges that support 70 ton M-1 tanks. Meeting the high standards of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provided us with strong data, credibility and recognition for STRUXURE building products in the large-form construction materials market. Our ECOTRAX rail ties have been tested and proven over many years in the U.S. and abroad. In 2011, we entered into a three-year supply agreement with a Class 1 railroad, which again provided us with credibility for our ECOTRAX rail ties. Recent third-party testing on one of our composite-formulated rail ties that had been in track use for over eight years, showed that the rail tie continues to meet and exceed American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) standards.

Our products have also been tested to American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. In conjunction with Parsons Brinckerhoff, a global leader in designing and building critical infrastructure projects around the world, we published the first-ever short-span bridge standards guide based on composite structural products. Structural engineers can use this publication to design bridges utilizing our STRUXURE building products that span up to 25 feet to a recognized high standard.

During 2012, we focused on establishing strategic engineering and sales relationships with both private and governmental organizations to advance market adoption. Early successes have included:

Completed a one-year in-track test with one of the largest mining companies in the world

Completed the first half of a one-year in-track test in South America with a major freight line

Completed our first boardwalk structure in the U.S.

Engineered, designed, and completed test for heavy construction equipment mats

Won a competitive contract to design and build longer, custom switch ties for a major rail system in the Northeast U.S.

Successfully completed lab testing of a composite rail tie based on specifications for one of the largest rail systems in Western Europe and which are scheduled for in-track testing in early 2013

Completed lab testing as well as in-track testing in Australia with a major freight and commuter rail line

Submitted documentation of composite rail tie specifications to the railway institute for several Eastern European countries

Provided structural building products for the construction of two short-span highway bridges in the U.S.

Pre-fabricated a bridge comprised of our structural building products designed to span 90 feet, which was shipped and installed in Scotland

Executed a distribution agreement with major company for Australia and Eastern Asia

Received multiple initial and repeat orders from various domestic and international customers

We have invested in building brand equity through the development of a sales and marketing team, through advertising, and through a strong presence at trade shows. These investments are positioning AXION as the market leader in large-form composite building materials. We have implemented a diligent new business development process that aligns the benefits of the higher mechanical properties resulting from our technology with our current and future products and corresponding price points. This process allows us to identify key markets to pursue with a very diligent business case.

Our primary sales efforts have focused on ECOTRAX products in the rail industry and specialty rail applications and markets around the globe. ECOTRAX rail ties have been tested in-track or in lab on all continents except Antarctica. We exhibit at various rail shows around the globe. We invest in advertisements in trade publications and related websites.

Moving beyond the rail business, during 2012 we made a focused effort to develop and launch our STRUXURE building products. Through our third party sales engineering relationships, we are working with state and local building officials to receive approvals for STRUXURE infrastructure building products, as well as working with engineering firms and departments of transportation in many states for additional opportunities. Recently, we launched our STRUXURE heavy construction equipment mats which provided an immediate revenue opportunity, with the success of our first test installation. It was determined in this installation that our STRUXURE Mats provide key advantages over traditional wood mats. Our STRUXURE Mats are more durable and therefore they last longer. It is expected that our STRUXURE heavy construction equipment mats will last up to five times longer in application. Additional benefits are that our STRUXURE Mats are lighter and easier to transport. These key advantages represent a solid value proposition to the buyer.

Our focus is on increasing our sales pipeline. We deploy varied sales strategies and organizational structures based on each of the unique market segments that we have entered or desire to exploit. We believe our ECOTRAX and STRUXURE products have broad application across many markets. Each of these markets employs a different supply-chain and infrastructure to support its business. Organizationally, we may utilize a joint venture business strategy in certain markets in order to maximize profitability in a timely and efficient manner. For example, we may explore potential collaborations with companies that will expedite sales efforts into a given sales channel, such as a marine distribution firm, whereby we will provide our products, research and development and technology and our partner will contribute the sales and marketing knowledge and effort. We will continue to use traditional methods of marketing through major trade magazines, internet, green social networking and trade shows.

International markets present several opportunities for us. We are currently exploring business structures, including licensing or creating joint venture relationships. We intend to retain control of the licensing of our intellectual property and of the formulation and the manufacturing process we employ. We have had or are currently engaged in discussions with various parties and organizations within Morocco, South America, Russia, France, India, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Trinidad.

Manufacturing

Historically we have not owned manufacturing facilities for the production of our products as we believe that our outsourced contract manufacturing model provides us the business flexibility to maximize utilization of manufacturing capacity available in the market, respond to the geographic diversity of our customers and minimize our capital requirements. As we continue to expand and focus on improving our gross margins, we have begun to evaluate the benefits of operating our own facility, from a cost-benefit perspective as well as a quality control perspective.

The contract manufacturing and production model allows us to take advantage of production facilities located near key customers, reducing freight costs to those customers and thereby making our products more cost effective. In addition, this model allows us to utilize raw material sources in various regions of the country in which the manufactory occurs and help promote recycling collection and broaden our supply base.

Currently our ECOTRAX and STRUXURE products are manufactured at facilities in Pennsylvania and Texas. The production facilities we utilize are often on direct industrial rail links or spurs, to allow for efficient product deliveries to customers and particularly to rail customers. Flatbed and container trucks are also used to transport our products. Because of the weather-resistant properties inherent in our products, we use outdoor storage extensively. Facilities that support the manufacture of large products and are involved in the recycling business lend well to our requirements. We have previously identified and entered into discussions with other contract manufacturers that have the skills and capabilities to manufacture our products, and we will continue to evaluate the need to enter into arrangements with additional facilities.

Currently, at our Pennsylvania facility, we purchase and provide the raw materials used in the production of our products, directly to our contract manufacturer and pay them a per-pound rate to produce our products. Historically, at our Texas facility, we purchase a finished product directly from the manufacturer. In both situations, we place one or more of our own employees in their facility to serve as production consultants and quality control experts. We require our contract manufacturers to enter into a non-compete and non-disclosure agreement. In late 2012, the contract manufacturer of the Texas facility made a business decision to vacate its facility and cease producing products for us. In order to maintain production, we have hired the necessary production workforce to continue to operate the facility and have an understanding with the owner of the facility to enable us to continue to utilize the facility on a month-to-month basis until a more formal arrangement can be made. We are exploring various scenarios concerning production of our products in the southern U.S., including entering into a longer term leasing arrangement for the existing facility or identifying additional locations in which we can either have our products manufactured or manufacture the products ourselves.

Under the contract manufacturing and production arrangement, we design and retain ownership of certain production equipment such as molds, manifolds or dies that are provided to our contract manufacturers during production runs. All such production equipment is designed as component parts and can be transferred between facilities or used interchangeably in a plug-and-play system as production needs dictate. We also provide and train our contract manufacturers with specific, internally designed quality-control equipment and procedure manuals. Our contract manufacturers are required to maintain extensive quality control records. As our processes are further systemized, we may evaluate our production model, to maximize our contract manufacturers’ incentives to meet or exceed our production goals.

Materials Supply

Our products are developed with the use of immiscible polymer blends which, when mixed and processed according to proprietary formulations, yield structural grade properties in the resulting product. Recycled plastic wastes materials are used to achieve the desired results.

The raw materials we utilize are widely available, and collected in most communities. Only a portion of the billions of pounds of recyclable-eligible materials generated each year are actually collected, and an even smaller percentage is actually used in recycled products. The raw materials can be sourced directly through municipal recycling facilities, major waste haulers, material grinders or recyclers, or brokers depending on the volume required. Recycled material prices are listed on a commodity-style basis in industry periodicals or on-line. Long-term contracts actually benefit us as a buyer as they will allow us to more accurately project our raw material requirements, seek more competitive pricing from suppliers, and lock in that pricing (within limits) over time. An additional benefit inherent in the recycled material market is that it may offer greater pricing stability than does the virgin material market. As the recycled materials market if typically not directly tied to fluctuations and increases in oil prices as are virgin materials. The primary costs associated with recycled plastics and plastic composites rest with the collection and grinding processes.

We foresee no shortage of supply in the raw materials we require. Based upon data derived from the American Chemistry Council, we have determined that, based on our current mixture of high-density polyethylene, or HDPE, the major raw material now used in our process, we will use less than 1% of post-consumer plastic that was processed in the United States in 2009. In addition, as municipalities adopt simpler recycling programs, such as not requiring consumers to sort their recycled waste, the amount of recycled plastics should increase. As more municipalities sort their recyclables, we anticipate we will expand our direct purchasing program and achieve a cost reduction in our raw materials. If it becomes necessary to compete for materials supply on a price basis, we should be in a position to pay higher prices since the return we can achieve on our products will be greater than that available to other purchasers. Our production process also does not require washed or clear plastics, which also increases sources of supply.

We also rely upon polypropylene-encapsulated fiberglass for our products. This material is in automotive and other post-industrial scrap that is currently disposed into landfills, at the expense of the owner. We do not know of any significant purchasers of this raw material and believe that substantial buying opportunities exist from companies that are paid to dispose of the waste, thereby increasing their profits and making us a purchaser of choice.

We continue to search out other sources of our raw materials which may provide us with greater supply, more cost-efficient locations from which to purchase supply and/or better pricing.

Intellectual Property

License Agreement

Pursuant to our License Agreement with Rutgers, we have acquired an exclusive, royalty-bearing license in specific but broad global territories to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, modify, develop, import and export products made using patent and patent pending applications owned by Rutgers. As a result of the License Agreement, we have been granted the right to grant sublicenses. We use these patented technologies in the production of recycled structural composite products, such as rail ties, I-beams, T-beams, pilings and various boards including our tongue-in-groove design, that are utilized in the construction of bridges and marinas. There is an ongoing flow of new patent applications from Rutgers that we will have the ability to utilize under our License Agreement, such as the patent pending on a new piling design.

We are obligated to pay Rutgers royalties ranging from 1.5% to 3.0% on various product sales, subject to certain minimum payments each year, and to reimburse Rutgers for certain patent defense costs in the case of patent infringement claims made against the Rutgers patents. We also pay annual membership dues to Rutgers Center for Advanced Materials via Immiscible Polymer Processing, or AMIPP, a department of Rutgers, as well as consulting fees for research and development projects. The term of the License Agreement runs until the expiration of the last-to-expire issued patent within the Rutgers’ technologies licensed under the License Agreement, unless terminated earlier. The membership allows us to use AMIPP for basic research and development at no additional cost, with access to more comprehensive R&D services available to us for fees determined on a per-project basis.

Intellectual Property under License Agreement

Our licensed technologies are based on materials/composition of matter, processing and use and design patents. The patents are held by Rutgers University. The compositions are used to produce structural products from recycled waste materials. The processing capacity allows the production of efficient shapes from these blends such as rail ties, I-beams and pilings. Our licensed material patents are for immiscible polymer blends which, when mixed and processed according to proprietary formulations, yield structural grade properties in the resulting product. Rather than mixing materials with similar properties together to yield a third material (a commonly accepted industry practice), our licensed technology blends two separate materials in a manner that allows them to physically bind together while still retaining their original properties. In effect, a rugged, weather-resistant material is mixed with a stiff and rigid material to yield both strength and stiffness properties.

Our licensed patents cover multiple material compositions, including high-density polyethylene (or HDPE), a polymer commonly available from post-consumer and post-industrial waste streams, together with either stiffer polymers or polymer composites. Each of these polymer combinations can be used in rail tie manufacturing, which is our most completely tested and accepted product. Included in our license are three pending patents covering manufactured shapes, covering (i) both I-beams and tongue-in-groove planking, (ii) a method to produce even longer I-beams with variable shapes, and (iii) a newly designed rail tie that obviates the need for the expensive steel tie plate. In addition, we have a letter agreement to utilize methods to enhance the performance of our rail tie products in ballasted track situations.

Competition

We believe our competitors are the suppliers of traditional rail ties and building materials made from wood, steel and concrete. These materials have gained widespread acceptance over time. We know of no other company that produces products with qualities similar to ours. We do not view other composite manufactures of plastic-based products as competition for some of the applications for which our products are most suitable since, to our knowledge, these other composites cannot withstand significant load factors and many of these products have wood components that cause the products not to possess the distinguishing features of our products. To the extent we compete with suppliers of products made from traditional materials, there are many competitors across the industry verticals we have targeted. Since our products will often be more expensive in the short-term, but less expensive in the long-term, we believe that we can readily compete in our markets. Our challenge is to better educate potential customers in particular industries as to these advantages.

Rail Ties

Before we launched our current business, there were other companies in the composite rail tie industry, which demonstrated the enthusiasm of the railroad market for composites. One particular company received an order for one million rail ties from a major freight carrier. However, this company experienced a number of quality control issues, a high rejection rate in the field and significant management turnover. Neverthless, this company established the potential demand for composite rail ties by the rail industry. Another privately held rail tie manufacturer based in Florida remains active in the industry, but with limited production capacity and limited market penetration. A Japanese company produces composite rail ties from virgin materials and, as a result, the company’s products are both more expensive and less environmentally friendly than our ECOTRAX products.

We believe composite rail ties make up less than 5% of the replacement rail ties ordered in the United States, so there is ample room for increasing the proportion of composite ties ordered relative to those made from traditional materials. We note that more than 1.5 billion gross tons have run over 100 of our ECOTRAX rail ties at an American Association of Railroads test track in Pueblo, Colorado, and 200,000 rail ties, produced based upon our technology, have been in service and no incidents have been reported. We believe that this record, combined with our ability to produce our ECOTRAX rail ties more quickly than potential competitors could be able to produce their composite ties, positions us to lead the composite rail tie market.

Traditional Building Materials

Our primary competitors for our STRUXURE building products are producers of traditional wood, steel and concrete building materials. Domestically, producers of composite building materials tend to focus their offerings on the home improvement market, whereas our STRUXURE products are intended for use in boardwalks, lightweight and pedestrian bridges, golf courses, and other non-residential applications. With respect to marine applications, the largest supplier of composite marine products is the Seaward division of Trelleborg. This supplier has a system of virgin fiberglass rods which are inserted in a polymer shell to create pilings and related marine products. This supplier uses a multi-stage manufacturing process and virgin materials which we believe creates a more expensive solution than the products we can offer.

Employees

As of March 15, 2013, we had 28 full-time employees and continue to utilize temporary agency employees and consultants on an as-needed basis.

Item A. Risk Factors

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide risk factors. However, we have chosen to include the following risk factors.

Our independent registered public accountants have expressed that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accountants issued an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, based on our significant operating losses and the requirement for external financing. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our inability to continue as a going concern would require a restatement of assets and liabilities on a liquidation basis, which would differ materially and adversely from the going concern basis on which our consolidated financial statements have been prepared.

We have generated limited operating revenues. If we are unable to commercially manufacture higher volumes and sell our recycled structural plastic products, we will not be able to generate profits and we may be forced to curtail operations.

As of the date hereof, we have generated limited revenues. As a result, we have limited operating revenue and we anticipate that, for at least the near future, we will operate at a loss. Our ultimate success will depend on our ability to commercially manufacture higher volumes and sell our recycled structural plastic products. If we are unable to do so, we will not be able to generate profits and we may be forced to curtail operations.

Due to circumstances that we may be unable to control, such as a general market disruption or an operational problem that affects third parties or us, our ability to raise capital from outside sources could be impaired by an inability to access the capital markets or an unforeseen outflow of cash. If we are unable at any point to obtain needed capital from outside sources, we will be forced to reduce or curtail our operations.

The demand for rail ties and structural building products fluctuates, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Demand in the end markets served by our customers is influenced by many factors, including the following:

global and regional economic, political and military events and conditions;

fluctuations in energy, fuel, oil and natural gas prices and the availability of such fuels;

changes in residential and commercial construction demands, driven in part by fluctuating interest rates and demographic shifts;

changes in demand for our products due to technological innovations;

changes in laws and regulations (or the interpretation thereof) related to the production of structural plastic products or the environment;

prices, availability and other factors relating to our products;

continued preferences for wood, metal or concrete, rather than plastic, structural products;

increases in costs of labor and labor strikes; and

population growth rates.

We cannot predict or control the factors that affect demand for our products. Negative developments in the above factors, among others, could cause the demand for structural plastic products to decline, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

If we cannot produce enough of our products to satisfy customer demand, our ability to execute our business plan will be adversely affected.

Our customers’ needs will often require the fulfillment of orders within short periods. As a result, a sudden increase in demand from our customers without a correlative increase of our production capacity or inventory may prevent us from timely satisfying our customers’ demand for our products. Because our customers’ demand will persist regardless of our ability to meet that demand, our inability to produce enough of our product to satisfy our customers’ needs may lead to the use by those customers of wood, concrete or metal products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

Our business is subject to risks in obtaining the recycled materials we use at acceptable prices.

The production of our products requires substantial amounts of recycled plastic and recycled plastic composite materials. Our business could suffer from the loss of significant sources of these materials, the payment of higher prices for these materials or the failure to obtain sufficient additional materials to meet planned increases in production. In addition, the price of recycled plastic and recycled plastic composite materials sometimes experiences cyclical variation in cost as a commodity. Our ability to obtain adequate supplies of recycled materials at acceptable cost and quality depends on our success in developing diverse sources of supply that meet our requirements, maintaining favorable relationships with suppliers and managing the collection of supplies from geographically dispersed locations.

As of March 15, 2013, we had substantial convertible debt outstanding which is due beginning in August 2017.

We had approximately $8.9 million in convertible debt outstanding as of March 15, 2013 with maturity dates beginning in August 2017. This debt obligation is secured by all of our assets. We may not have the capability to repay these obligations when they become due, and will either need to generate appropriate cash flows from operations, raise additional capital from other sources or negotiate with the debt holders to extend the maturity to allow us to commercialize our business plan and further generate the necessary capital for ultimate repayment. If we are unable to do this, we will be forced to curtail or cease operations.

As of March 15, 2013, we had substantial convertible preferred stock issued, containing a redemption feature by the holder any time after their three-year anniversary of the original purchase.

We had 10% convertible preferred stock with a face value of approximately $7.1 million outstanding at March 15, 2013. At the holder’s election, it may force the redemption of their 10% convertible preferred stock any time after the third anniversary of their original purchase. Currently, we do not have the resources to redeem these securities, and will either need to generate appropriate cash flows from operations, raise additional capital from other sources or negotiate with the preferred stockholders to eliminate or postpone the redemptions. If we are unable to do this, we will be forced to curtail or cease operations.

We are dependent on our ability to raise capital from external funding sources. If we are unable to continue to obtain necessary capital from outside sources, we will be forced to reduce or curtail operations.

We have not generated any significant cash flow from operations and we will not be cash flow positive for at least the near future. We also have limited financial resources. As a result, we will need to obtain additional capital from outside sources to continue operations and commercialize our business plan. Our ability to execute our business plan depends upon our ability to obtain financing through:

bank and other debt financing;

equity financing;

strategic relationships; and/or

other means.

Our products are new and, to date, have limited exposure and acceptance in the marketplace. If our products do not receive market acceptance, our ability to execute our business plan will be adversely affected.

Although earlier versions of our composite rail ties and structural building products, such as I-beams, T-beams, pilings and boards were sold by a predecessor licensee, our products are relatively new to the marketplace. As a result, the claims regarding their attributes have not been fully validated in the marketplace through actual extended use. Potential customers may be resistant to trying new products such as ours or, after actual use, may determine that our products do not meet their needs. If our products do not receive market acceptance, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects will be adversely affected.

From time to time, our business may rely on contract manufacturers. If one or more we engage do not meet our manufacturing requirements, our ability to manufacture and subsequently sell our products will be materially impaired.

We rely on third parties, from time to time, to manufacture our products. Consequently, we are dependent on third parties for the manufacture of our products. Our business is dependent upon our retention of contract manufacturers and the development and deployment of their manufacturing capabilities. There can be no assurance that we will obtain the requisite contract manufacturer or, once retained, that this or other manufacturers will be able to meet our manufacturing needs in a satisfactory and timely manner, or that we can obtain additional contract manufacturers when and if needed. Although we believe there are a number of potential manufacturers available, if we are unable to retain them quickly or cost effectively, our ability to manufacture and sell our products will be materially impaired. Our reliance on contract manufacturers involves a number of additional risks, including the absence of guaranteed capacity and reduced control over the manufacturing process, quality assurance, delivery schedules, production yields and costs, and early termination of, or failure to renew, contractual arrangements. Although we believe that these contract manufacturers will have an economic incentive to perform such manufacturing for us, the amount and timing of resources to be devoted to these activities is not within our control, and there can be no assurance that manufacturing problems will not occur in the future. A significant price increase, an interruption in supply from one or more of such contract manufacturers, or the inability to obtain additional contract manufacturers when and if needed, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Even though in situations where we may retain responsibility for the manufacture of our products we have control over the manufacturing process, quality assurance, delivery schedules, production yields and costs, we may encounter situations within or beyond our control that impact the production of our products.

We may decide to not engage contract manufacturers to produce our products and instead we may lease a suitable facility, acquire and install the necessary manufacturing equipment and hire and manage the personnel. Although we believe if we choose to do this, we will be able to control our production processes better and have a positive impact on costs, but with our limited experience in managing our own production processes, this may not be the case. If that should occur, our results would be impacted and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business is highly reliant on a small group of customers. If we lose business from those customers, our sales will be materially impaired.

We are subject to risk related to customer concentration because of the relative importance of our largest customers and the increased ability of those customers to influence pricing and other contract terms. Although we strive to broaden and diversify our customer base, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from a relatively small number of customers. Consequently, a significant loss of business from, or adverse performance with regard to, any of our major customers may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Similarly, the renegotiation of major customer contracts may also have an adverse effect on our financial results.

If we are unable to develop substantial sales and marketing capabilities, we most likely will not be able to generate adequate sales.

Sales and marketing have, to date, been conducted by a limited number of employees including several members of our senior management team. In the future, we may utilize a joint venture business strategy in certain markets in order to gain sales in a timely and efficient manner. Alternatively, with incremental funding, we may hire additional sales and marketing staff, additional engineers and supporting staff and implement a detailed marketing program. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in entering into joint ventures or developing a sales and marketing force or that our sales and marketing efforts will be successful.

If, as our international sales operations increase, our employees or agents violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions, we may incur substantial fines or penalties, or experience other adverse consequences.

Since the year ended December 31, 2010, we have received international orders and increased our efforts to arrange international selling activities. We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or the FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by the United States and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. As we begin to operate and sell internationally, there is an increasing risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors that could be in violation of various laws including the FCPA, even though these parties are not always subject to our effective control. Our attempts to implement safeguards may not be effective in preventing employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors from engaging in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Because our competitors may have greater financial, marketing and research and development resources, we may not be able to successfully compete in our markets.

We compete with suppliers of traditional wood and concrete rail ties and building products and several composite product companies that offer products in our markets. Most of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial and marketing resources and capabilities. These companies and others may independently develop technology for the production of plastic rail ties and structural building products similar or superior to our technology, which may result in our products becoming less competitive or obsolete. Competition from other companies may increase as advances in technology are made. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete successfully against these competitors in the future or that competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

We depend upon senior management and key personnel. Any loss of their services could negatively affect our business. Our failure to retain and attract such personnel could harm our business, operations and product development efforts.

Our success will depend, to a significant extent, on the performance of our senior management team, and others who we may hire. To the extent that the services of any of our key personnel become unavailable, we will be required to retain other qualified persons. We may not be able to find a suitable replacement for any such person. The loss of the services of key persons could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our products require sophisticated research and development, quality-assured manufacturing and a significant marketing and sales effort. Our success will depend on our ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel for these functions and responsibilities. Competition for personnel in all these areas is intense and we may not be able to hire sufficient personnel to achieve our goals. If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business, operations and product development efforts most likely would suffer.

We may not have adequate protection for the intellectual property rights on which our business depends.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our important intellectual property rights (including those licensed from Rutgers). The steps we have taken may not be adequate to deter misappropriation or unauthorized use of our proprietary information or to enable us to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. Rutgers University has obtained multiple U.S. patents that are licensed to us and continues to seek patents with respect to newly developed technologies related to our products. We also rely on a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, and copyright laws to protect our proprietary rights. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information, and if it is necessary to disclose proprietary information to third parties for business reasons, we require that such third parties sign a confidentiality agreement prior to any disclosure. However, these confidentiality agreements cannot guarantee there will not be disclosure or misappropriation of such proprietary information. In addition, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect trade secrets, determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, or defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Intellectual property laws provide limited protection. Moreover, the laws of some foreign countries do not offer the same level of protection for intellectual property as the laws of the United States. Litigation may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and the attention of senior management, which may limit the development of our business.

If we or our contract manufacturers were found to be infringing any third-party patents, we or they could be required to pay damages, alter our or their products or processes, obtain licenses or cease certain activities. We cannot be certain that if we or they required licenses for patents held by third-parties that they would be made available on terms acceptable to us or them, if at all.

Environmental liabilities and environmental regulations may have an adverse effect on our business.

The company with which we merged previously held minority and non-operating interests in oil and gas properties. The oil and gas business is subject to environmental hazards such as spills, leaks or discharges of petroleum products and hazardous substances. Although no claims have been made to date and we no longer have any such interests, potential environmental liability may not be extinguished with regard to a holder, such as us, of oil and gas interests during the period in which the interests were held.

Our current operations, and those of our contract manufacturers, are subject to various federal, state and foreign environmental laws and regulations. Environmental laws and regulations change regularly and we may become subject to increasingly stringent environmental standards in the future, particularly with respect to standards related to climate change issues, such as reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, we and our contract manufacturers are required to comply with environmental laws and the terms and conditions of multiple environmental permits. Failure to comply with these laws or permits could result in fines and penalties, interruption of manufacturing operations, or the need to install pollution-control equipment that could be costly.

Material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or our failure to remediate such material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements not being prevented or detected and could affect investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements, as well as our common stock price.

We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures, including a lack of sufficient internal accounting resources, formal procedures and segregation of duties necessary to ensure that adequate review of our financial statements and notes thereto is performed, and lacking the appropriate technical resources to properly evaluate complex debt and equity transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2012. These material weaknesses and our remediation plans are described further in Item 9A. Weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures could result in material misstatements in our financial statements not being prevented or detected. We may experience difficulties or delays in completing remediation or may not be able to successfully remediate material weaknesses at all. Any material weakness or unsuccessful remediation could affect our ability to file periodic reports on a timely basis and investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and have an adverse effect on our stock price and our ability to raise additional funds.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we have continued the review, development and implementation of processes, procedures and controls over our financial reporting practices to provide the appropriate level of segregation of responsibilities and oversight.

We have limited operating history with regard to our new business and, as a result, there is a limited amount of information about us on which to make an investment decision.

We commenced our current operations in November 2007 and have recognized limited revenues to date. Accordingly, there is very little operating history upon which to judge our current operations or financial results.

We have outstanding options, warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, and we are able to issue “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued, resulting in the dilution of common stock ownership.

As of March 15, 2013, we had outstanding options, warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock that, when exercised or converted, could result in the issuance of up to approximately 58.5 million additional shares of common stock. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation allow the board of directors to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights, privileges and preferences of those shares without any further vote or action by the shareholders. To the extent that outstanding options, warrants, convertible debt or convertible preferred stock are exercised or converted, these shares will represent a dilution to the existing shareholders. The preferred stock could hold dividend priority and a liquidation preference over shares of our common stock. Thus, the rights of the holders of common stock are and will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that we have issued or may issue in the future. Any such issuance could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal by a third party.

Future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In addition, the sale of our common stock could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional common or preferred stock.

Future financing will result in dilution to existing stockholders.

We will require additional financing in the future. We are authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock and 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock. Such securities may be issued without the approval or consent of our stockholders. The issuance of our equity securities in connection with a future financing will result in a decrease of our current stockholders’ percentage ownership.

Anti-takeover provisions in our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Colorado law could make a third-party acquisition of us difficult.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, including provisions that determine when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called. In addition, certain provisions of Colorado law, including provisions that specify that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation’s disinterested shareholders, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if such change in control would be beneficial to our shareholders.

The price of our common stock, as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, is highly volatile and the purchase or sale of relatively few shares can disproportionately influence the share price.

The trading price and volume of our common stock has been and may continue to be subject to significant fluctuations in response to:

our ability to execute our business plan;

actual or anticipated quarterly variations in our operating results;

the success of our business and operating strategy; and

the operations and stock price performance of other comparable companies.

The trading price of our common stock may vary without regard to our operating performance. Historically, we have been a thinly traded stock, therefore relatively few shares traded can disproportionately influence share price.

Our common stock is deemed to be a “penny stock” and trading of our shares is subject to special requirements that could impede our stockholders' ability to resell their shares.

Our shares are subject to the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 which may potentially decrease your ability to easily transfer our shares. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks” are regulated. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules.

We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and consequently your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates.

We currently do not plan to declare dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends will depend upon our financial condition, capital requirements, earnings and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in our common stock will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates and you sell your common stock at a profit.

The ability of investors to recover from our former auditor may be limited due to the auditor’s cessation of operations and financial condition.

The auditor for our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 has ceased operations and has not reissued its report in connection with this Form 10-K. We will be unable to obtain future accountant’s reports from the firm because it has discontinued its auditing practice. This means that we will also be unable to obtain consents to incorporate any financial statements audited by the firm into registration statements that we may file or amend in the future. Accordingly, investors may not be able to bring an action against our former auditor pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to any such registration statements or with respect to this Registration Statement and, therefore, any recovery from our former auditor may be limited. The ability of investors to recover from our former auditor may also be limited as a result of its financial condition.

Item 2. Properties

We own no real property and lease approximately 2,100 square feet of office space in New Providence, New Jersey pursuant to a one-year lease agreement for office space which provides for an monthly lease payments of approximately $3,800. These premises serve as our corporate headquarters. The term of the lease expires on October 31, 2013.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We may be involved from time to time in various claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties or breach of contract actions incidental to the normal course of business operations. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings involving us except as discussed below.

In April 2006, we commenced an action against Tonga Partners, L.P. (Tonga”), Cannell Capital, L.L.C. and J. Carlo Cannell in the United States District Court of New York, for disgorgement of short-swing profits pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On November 10, 2004, Tonga converted a convertible promissory note into 1,701,341 shares of Common Stock, and thereafter, between November 10 and November 15, 2004, sold such shares for short-swing profits. In September 2008, the District Court granted us summary judgment against Tonga for disgorgement of short-swing profits in the amount of $5.0 million. The defendants appealed the order granting the summary judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. The three judge panel held in our favor. The defendants petitioned the Court for a full judge review. The petition was denied. The defendants have advised that they intend to request the U.S. Supreme Court to accept an appeal of the case. Until the defendants no longer have any possibility of any further judicial review, we cannot access the cash bond that the defendants posted.

We may also be subject to various other routine litigation incidental to our business. Management does not believe that any of these routine legal proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

PART II.

Item 5. Market For Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

As of December 31, 2012, there were approximately 1,200 registered holders of our common stock, and there were 28,820,173 shares of our common stock outstanding. Our common stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board since June 1, 2007. From June 1, 2007 to August 3, 2008, our common stock was traded under the symbol “ANLT,” and then following the name change of our Company, since August 4, 2008, the date of the reverse split of our Common Stock, our common stock has been traded under the symbol “AXIH.” From April 3, 2007 until June 11, 2007, our common stock was traded on the OTC Pink Sheets. Prior to April 3, 2007, our common stock was traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The following table sets forth the high and low bid quotations for our common stock (on a post-reverse split basis) as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board by quarter during each of our last two fiscal years. The high and low bid quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Fourth quarter		1.00		0.65

Dividends

Since becoming a public company, we have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We presently expect that we will retain all future earnings, if any, for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. In addition, under the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock, as corrected, dividends shall not be declared, paid or set aside for any series or other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, until all dividends have been paid in full on the Preferred Stock. In addition, the terms of our 8% convertible promissory notes and associated warrants provide the holders with anti-dilution protection in the event we declare and pay dividends on our common stock in the future.

Overview

Our predecessor company was formed in 1981 under the name Analytic Surveys, Inc. On March 20, 2008, Analytic Surveys, Inc. consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger (or the Merger) with Axion International, Inc. In the Merger, the stockholders of Axion International, Inc. succeeded to approximately 90.7% of Analytic Survey, Inc.’s issued and outstanding common stock and Analytics Survey changed its name to Axion International Holdings, Inc. The Merger has been accounted for as a reverse merger in the form of a recapitalization with Axion as the successor.

We develop, manufacture, market and sell composite rail ties and structural building products, such as pilings, I-beams, T-beams and boards, which, based upon patented technology developed at Rutgers University, are fully derived from common recycled plastics and high-density polymers, such as polyethylene, polystyrene and polypropylene. These recycled plastics, which are combined with recycled plastic composites containing encapsulated fiberglass, achieve structural thickness and strength and are resistant to changing shape under constant stress. Our products, manufactured through an extrusion process, are eco-friendly, non-corrosive, moisture impervious, non-chemical leaching and insect and rot resistant. Our products possess superior lifecycles and generally have greater durability and require less maintenance than competitive products made from wood, steel or concrete. We market our products through two lines (i) ECOTRAX™, our line of rail ties, and (ii) STRUXURE™, our line of structural building products.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP) in the U.S. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our critical accounting policies are those that affect our financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management.

An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially change the financial statements.

Use of Estimates.

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities including valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income tax assets, derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The statements are evaluated on an ongoing basis and estimates are based on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results can differ from those estimates, and it is possible that the differences could be material.

Revenue and Cost Recognition.

We recognize revenue when a fixed commitment to purchase our products is received, title or ownership has passed to the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and we do not have any specific performance obligations remaining, such that the earnings process is complete. In most cases, we receive a purchase order from our customer specifying the products requested and delivery instructions. We recognize revenue upon our delivery or shipment of the products as specified in the purchase order.

We have a contract which provides for a large number of products and few actual deliveries, the revenues are recorded each month as the products are produced and the risk of ownership passes to the customer upon pre-delivery acceptance. Prior to deliveries, our customer’s products are segregated from our inventory and not available for fulfilling other orders.

Share-based Compensation.

We recognize share-based compensation for transactions in which we exchange our equity instruments (shares of common stock, options and warrants) for services of directors, employees, consultants and others based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued on the measurement date. The fair value of common stock awards is based on the observed market value of our stock. We calculate the fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of subjective assumptions including volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We use a measure of volatility based on the historical volatility of our common stock over a similar period to the expected life of the award. The expected term of an award is based on the vesting period. We base the risk-free rate on the rate of U.S. Treasury obligations with maturities similar to the expected term used in the model. Historically, we have not, and do not anticipate paying in the foreseeable future, dividends on our common stock, and accordingly use an expected dividend yield of zero.

Derivative Instruments.

For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. We use various simulation models, including Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo, to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as a liability or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

Revenues

We derive our revenues through the sale of our ECOTRAX rail ties and STRUXURE building products. Our strategic focus is to continue to advance the sale of our ECOTRAX rail ties and to create a broad-based market for our STRUXURE building products. We have been undertaking strategic initiatives, including the ongoing development and deployment of guidance materials, such as supporting documentation, research and other publications of the structural properties and performance of our products, with the goal to educate the engineers, developers and others who might use our products in projects for their clients, as well as potential customers.

Having completed a number of commercially engineered solution projects prior to 2011, we began concentrating our activities on advancing from proof-of-concept stage to a strategically focused, sales-oriented growth company. Over the past several years, our activities centered upon advancing the development of our technology and products. As proof-of-concept, we completed the deployment of our products across multiple customers, applications and industries. Beginning late in 2010 we began introducing our ECOTRAX rail products to mass markets globally and, during the year ended December 31, 2011, we developed and began implementing a sales strategy for our STRUXURE building products to other public- and private-sector buyers. Our strategic focus is on the continued growth of sales, within both the rail tie and the structural building products sectors, the expansion of our technology within and across markets, and the expansion of our infrastructure in order to manufacture our products and support our growing sales order pipeline.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized revenue of $5.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized revenue for the sales of our ECOTRAX rail ties of approximately $4.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively with the remainder resulting from the sales of our STRUXURE composite structural building products.

For both years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, approximately two-thirds of our ECOTRAX sales were to one Class 1 railroad customer pursuant to a three-year supply agreement. With sales beginning in June 2011 and through December 31, 2012, we recognized approximately 35% of the potential revenue provided by this three-year supply agreement for our ECOTRAX rail ties. Our customer under this supply agreement aligns its track maintenance program for which they install our ECOTRAX rail ties through the purchase orders they provide us. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we fulfilled their initial purchase order for 20,000 rail ties, recognizing approximately $2.0 million in revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we fulfilled the second purchase order for 30,000 rail ties, and delivered 4,493 rail ties against the third purchase order for 20,000 rail ties, for its maintenance program for early 2013. Based on sources and properties of certain raw materials we use in the production of our current rail ties, we have been able to deliver a product with improved properties for which this customer has notified us they wish to continue to evaluate for use in their track maintenance programs. Although the ECOTRAX rail ties that we have supplied to this customer to date have met the specifications they required pursuant to the agreement, they requested we suspend production of our ECOTRAX rail ties remaining to be delivered under this third purchase order until their evaluation of the enhanced rail tie is complete. Therefore, during the latter part of the year ended December 31, 2012, we halted production at our Texas facility which had been brought on line for the primary purpose of producing the ECOTRAX rail ties for this three-year supply agreement. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we restarted production for delivery under the three-year supply agreement at our Texas facility. Even though this contract contains challenging pricing terms, it has provided us with a base to develop and expand our manufacturing capacity and processes.

Through December 31, 2012, we have made the necessary investments in tooling, molds and other production equipment to run a maximum of three production lines which would be capable of producing $30 to $40 million in revenue of our ECOTRAX and STRUXURE products. This equipment is located at our Pennsylvania contract manufacturer’s facilities and our Texas facility. We’ve begun to evaluate the desirability, management structure and financial impact of expanding our production at the Texas facility.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we continued to receive repeat orders from existing customers as well as small/test orders for our ECOTRAX rail ties and STRUXURE building products. We shipped products to 22 new customers during the year ended December 31, 2012. Our ECOTRAX rail ties are currently in track test or undergoing purchase approval with leading passenger and freight lines in the following countries – Australia, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia and Singapore as well as various other countries in Europe. We continue to expand the possibilities where our STRUXURE products may be beneficial when compared to traditional products. There can be no assurance that the results of these and other test orders or the approval processes currently underway for other orders will materialize into additional orders for our ECOTRAX rail ties. Our focus will continue to be on diversifying our customer base and the pricing of our products, as well as the continuing development of opportunities we foresee with our STRUXURE composite structural building products.

Since the products produced utilizing our technology are new to the various markets and regions we’ve identified, we continue to work with various organizations to create the necessary specifications for use of our products. This is a time-consuming process and varies by product line and geographic region.

Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses

Costs of Sales

Our costs of sales are primarily comprised of the cost of raw materials and the costs and expenses associated with our manufacturing arrangements. The price of the raw materials depends principally on the stage and source of the supply. We purchase the raw materials in various stages, from recycled plastic containers purchased in bulk, which require further processing before use, to ready-for-production material. Typically, the more processed raw material is more expensive, on a per-pound basis, than less processed material. But the less processed material requires additional costs to prepare it for production. Likewise, raw materials purchased through third-party brokers or other intermediaries are more expensive than materials purchased directly from the source or collection point.

Our strategy to reduce our raw material costs includes broadening our raw materials sources and purchasing other low-cost, unprocessed materials, such as other scrap materials containing our specific raw materials from unique sources and recycled materials from municipal and other recycling collection sources. Previously, due to the limited amount of time and personnel we could devote to raw materials sourcing, we acquired our raw materials primarily from intermediaries, and purchased production-stage material, which resulted in the acquisition of raw materials at less-than favorable prices. But dealing in the recycled plastics market, whether through intermediaries or bulk purchases, we encountered and will continue to encounter increasing and decreasing prices typically seen in a commodities market. But since the cost of our raw materials is the single largest determinant of our costs of sales, we continue to seek out (i) agreements with sources of cheaper raw materials, while ensuring those materials meet or exceed our quality standards as well as (ii) expanding our research and development effort of different raw materials which may provide a cost and/or performance advantage over existing materials.

We are continuing to take steps to reduce our production costs and expenses, while increasing capacity, as necessary. During the second half of the year ended December 31, 2011, we significantly increased production capacity, both through a focused joint effort with our existing contract manufacturer, as well as adding a second contract manufacturer, located in Texas pursuant to the requirements of our three-year supply agreement with our Class-1 railroad customer.

We continually evaluate the costs and benefits of our manufacturing arrangements. Our manufacturing arrangements allow for the production of our products utilizing our manifolds, molds and controllers. Under the arrangement with our initial contract manufacturer, we source, purchase and supply the contract manufacturer with the raw materials and pay a per pound manufacturing cost to our contract manufacturer to produce the finished products. Whereas under the arrangement with another contract manufacturer which was terminated during the year ended December 31, 2012, the contract manufacturer was responsible for sourcing and purchasing the raw materials and producing the finished product, which we purchased from them at a predetermined cost. Pursuant to that agreement, the predetermined cost was based on a reference price of each raw material, and we reimbursed the contract manufacturer for any costs it incurred in excess of the reference price and we shared in any savings resulting from raw material purchased below the reference price. In addition to eliminating our cost and expense of sourcing the raw materials, we improved our cash flow by eliminating the need to expend funds early in the manufacturing-to-sales cycle to purchase the raw materials, and instead purchased the finished product closer to the sale to our customer. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we revised this manufacturing arrangement in an effort to evaluate the desirability of controlling more of the production process. We now furnish both the raw material and personnel to produce our products and have agreed to reimburse the original contract manufacturer for the use of the facility and the equipment which we do not own. We continually monitor our production capacity requirements and will adjust our production capacity as the need arises.

Additionally, we continued our efforts in driving unnecessary costs and expenses out of our manufacturing processes through the coordinated efforts of our contract manufacturer and us. Each step of the manufacturing process, from raw material handling and storage through the quality control review and inventory handling steps, we continue to jointly examine best practices and other methods to improve and streamline the processes to eliminate unnecessary costs and expenses. We continue to search out ways to continue to reduce the costs of manufacturing our products.

Cost of sales amounted to $5.1 million and $3.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, resulting in gross margins of approximately $194,400 and $112,900, respectively. The gross margins of 3.6% and 2.9% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are a result of the fixed pricing impact of our three-year supply agreement and still being in the early stages of our manufacturing and commercial activities and included, among other factors, inefficient manufacturing processes and methods and additional costs and expenses incurred to fulfill certain orders. Because we are in the early stages of commercial activities, cost of sales may not be indicative of cost of sales in the future, which may vary significantly and are highly dependent on the price of raw materials, concurrent production activities, use of subcontractors and timing and mix of the sales and services.

Product Development and Quality Management.

Product development and quality management expenses are incurred as we perform oversight of our contract manufacturing relationships and ongoing evaluations of materials and processes for existing products, as well as the development of new products and processes. Such expenses typically include costs associated with the design and the required testing procedures associated with our two product lines. In addition to our investment in both our product development efforts and insuring the products we produce meet the high quality specifications we have set, we continue to work with the scientific team at Rutgers University to enhance our product formulations, develop innovative products and expand the reach of our existing products.

Product development and quality management expenses were $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This increase reflects the expansion of our efforts to innovate our third-party manufacturing processes, enhance our product formulations, develop new innovative products, and expand the reach of our existing products.

Marketing and Sales.

Expenses related to marketing and sales consist primarily of compensation for our sales and marketing personnel, sales commissions and incentives, advertising, trade shows and related travel and the effect of the minimum royalty required under our licensing agreements. We have increased our marketing and sales effort and anticipate incurring significant marketing and sales expenses in the future. The strategy we employ in reaching out to our target markets-whether through collaborative approaches, such as joint ventures, by building our own sales and marketing infrastructure, or by sub-licensing our technology to others-will have a significant effect on our marketing and sales expenses. We expect that in the future, marketing and sales expenses will increase in absolute dollars.

Marketing and sales expenses increased to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to additional personnel and the development and implementation of our branding strategy and marketing efforts in support thereof.

General and Administrative.

General and administrative expenses consist of compensation and related expenses for executive, finance, accounting, administrative, legal, shareholder services and other corporate expenses. In addition, we anticipate as we continue to grow our business, our general and administrative expenses will increase, including the effects of using share-based compensation arrangements with consultants in certain situations. As a result, we expect that in subsequent periods, general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as revenue increases.

General and administrative costs totaled approximately $3.8 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This decrease, a result of a large reduction in share-based compensation, was impacted by an increase in personnel and fees and expenses of other professionals services provided to us. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $0.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, in charges related to the fair value of the issuances of shares of our common stock, options or warrants providing the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a predetermined price, in the future. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we issued shares of common stock in lieu of cash payments in connection with a licensing agreement, commitment fee for financing transactions, compensation for our directors, officers and employees, as well as to several consultants.

Depreciation and Amortization.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded depreciation expense for manufacturing and production equipment as a charge to cost of sales. As we continue to increase our production capacity, we anticipate acquiring additional production equipment and would anticipate an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of cost of sales.

Depreciation and amortization totaled approximately $108,600, including approximately $96,000 charged to costs of sales in the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to approximately $137,700, including approximately $23,500 charged to costs of sales in the year ended December 31, 2011. As the investment in molds and other production equipment for use by us and our manufacturing partners increased during the year ended December 31, 2011, the useful lives of this new equipment was estimated to be longer than equipment acquired in previous periods, resulting in less depreciation expense for the comparable periods.

Other Expenses

Interest Expense.

Interest expense primarily consists of the contractual interest rate we pay on our debt instruments. Interest expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was approximately $377,000 and $156,600, respectively, and represented the contractual interest rates payable on our debt obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold $7.0 million of our 8% convertible promissory notes which was offset by repayment of $772,500 of convertible debt outstanding at December 31, 2011.

Amortization of Debt Discounts.

Amortization of debt discounts consists of the periodic amortization of the debt discounts associated with our convertible debt.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the amortization of various convertible debt discounts. At the time of issuance, we recorded discounts on our convertible securities primarily due to the imbedded conversion features, the fair value of any related warrants issued in conjunction with the securities and any costs incurred in issuing the security. These discounts are amortized over the term of the underlying convertible security, to expense. Any unamortized discount remaining when the security is repaid or converted is written off to expense in that period.

At December 31, 2012, the unamortized discounts for our convertible securities were approximately $1.5 million, associated with our 8% convertible promissory notes. This unamortized discount will be expensed over the five year lives of the underlying convertible promissory notes.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we accounted for the amendment to our 10% convertible debentures as an extinguishment of the old debt and the issuance of new debt. The difference between the reacquisition price of the new debt and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt of $1.4 million was recognized as a loss in our statement of operations, in the period of amendment.

Fair Value of Warrants at Debt Extinguishment.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the holders of our 10% convertible debentures agreed to certain amendments to the debentures. In addition to other amendments, we agreed that for each calendar month after the original maturity dates that these debentures remained outstanding, we would issue a warrant based on a predetermined calculation. Since it was probable that we would issue these warrants at each month-end through the amended maturity date, we calculated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and recorded a derivative liability of approximately $797,200 on the date of amendment and recognized the amount as a loss in our statement of operations. This derivative liability does not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under ASC 815 and accordingly, changes in the fair value of this derivative liability were immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a change in fair value of derivative liability in the accompanying statements of operations.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we agreed to amend the terms of our 10% convertible debentures, which among other things extended the maturity dates and required us to issue warrants for each calendar month after the original maturity dates that these debentures remained outstanding. Since it was probable that we would issue these warrants, we calculated the fair value of the warrants and recorded a derivative liability of approximately $797,200 on the date of amendment and recognized the amount as a loss in our statement of operations. This derivative liability does not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under ASC 815, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a gain or loss from change in fair value in the statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the recorded a change in fair value in our statement of operations of approximately $13,300 and $492,100, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, upon issuance, the fair value of the warrants was credited to common stock in the amounts of approximately $57,000 and $234,700, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we entered into a revolving credit agreement which was terminated during the year ended December 31, 2012, which gave the holder the right to convert a portion of the outstanding debt into shares of our common stock. We recognized the fair value of this beneficial conversion feature of approximately $118,700. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized the change in fair value of approximately $113,300 and $5,400, respectively, in our statement of operations.

Pursuant to the terms of our 10% convertible preferred stock, we were required to issue warrants to the holders of the preferred stock. At initial issuance of the 10% convertible preferred stock, we recorded the fair value of $2.4 million as a derivative liability and recognized the change in fair value of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, in statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued the warrants and reclassified the fair value of the warrants of $1.9 million as represented by the derivative liability, to common stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued and sold $7.1 million of our 8% convertible promissory notes, which gives the holders the right to convert the outstanding debt into shares of our common stock. We recorded the fair value of this conversion option of $1.0 million on the date of issuance, as a derivative liability and recognized that amount as a discount of our 8% convertible promissory notes. We account for this derivative liability pursuant to ASC 815, and accordingly, we recognized approximately $415,700 during the year ended December 31, 2012 as a change in fair value of this derivative liability which was recognized in our statements of operations. The fair value of this derivative liability at December 31, 2012 was estimated to be $610,000.

In addition, in conjunction with the sale and issuance of these 8% convertible promissory notes, we issued warrants to purchase our common stock for which we calculated the fair value of the warrants to be approximately $443,300 on the dates of issuance and recorded a derivative liability and recognized the amount as a discount of our 8% convertible promissory notes. This derivative liability does not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under ASC 815, and accordingly, we recognized approximately $223,300 during the year ended December 31, 2012 as a change in the fair value of this derivative liability which was recognized in our statements of operations. At December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair value of this derivative to be $220,000.

Income Taxes.

We have unused net operating loss carry forwards, which included losses incurred from inception through December 31, 2012. Due to the uncertainty that sufficient future taxable income will be recognized to realize associated deferred tax assets, no income tax benefit from inception through December 31, 2012 has been recorded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2012 we had $3.8 million in current assets and $2.2 million in current liabilities resulting in working capital of $1.6 million. This compares to a working capital deficit of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2011. We used $6.2 million and $4.9 million in our operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As we increased our capacity to produce more finished products, as of December 31, 2012 our inventory had increased by $1.5 million which compares to an increase of $1.4 million at December 31, 2011.

To increase production capacity, we purchased property and equipment of $1.1 million and $1.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We anticipate purchasing additional property and equipment during the next twelve months as we continue to expand our manufacturing capacity. We spend approximately $1.0 million to have a typical production line made, delivered and installed. Additional orders for production equipment have been and will be made, for which we will be required to make substantial additional payments.

Upon maturity during the year ended December 31, 2012, we repaid (i) principal of $172,500 and accrued interest on our 8.75% convertible debenture, (ii) the outstanding balance of $466,000 on our revolving credit agreement and (iii) the $600,000 of principal on our 10% convertible debentures.

During year ended December 31, 2012, we issued and sold to certain investors an aggregate principal amount of $7.1 million of our 8% convertible promissory notes. We may prepay the notes, in whole or in part, upon 60 calendar days prior written notice to the holders thereof. Interest accrues on the notes at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable during the first three years that the notes are outstanding in shares of common stock, valued at the weighted average price of a share of common stock for the twenty consecutive trading days prior to the interest payment date, pursuant to the terms of the notes. During the fourth and fifth years that the notes are outstanding, interest that accrues under the notes shall be payable in cash.

Pursuant to the terms of the 10% convertible preferred stock, to date we have elected to pay our quarterly dividends in shares of our common stock, rather than in cash. Whether or not we make the same election for future quarters will have an impact on our cash balances.

Our ability to redeem our convertible preferred stock when, and if, redeemed by the holders, pay principal and interest on our 8% convertible promissory notes and to fund our planned operations, including certain minimum royalties pursuant to our license agreement with Rutgers University, depends on our future operating performance and our ability to raise capital. The timing and amount of our financing needs will be highly dependent on our ability to manufacture our products at a cost which provides for an appropriate return, the success of our sales and marketing programs, our ability to obtain purchase commitments, the size of such purchase commitments and any associated working capital requirements.

At December 31, 2012, we had working capital of $1.6 million, cumulative face value of redeemable preferred stock and promissory notes of $14.2 million, a stockholders’ deficit of $8.0 million and have accumulated losses to date of $35.1 million. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of our business plan and future operations. Our current operating plans are to enhance and expand our manufacturing capacity when necessary to meet our customer commitments, continue to expand our marketing and sales capabilities to increase our pipeline of sales orders, and continue to develop innovative solutions for our customers. Although we have raised additional funds through the issuance of our 8% convertible promissory notes and continue exploring other financing sources, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our financing needs at all or upon terms acceptable to us. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock.

The Company maintains “disclosure control and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial office, and Board of Directors, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2012 due to the material weaknesses that exist in our internal control over financial reporting, more fully described below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations and therefore, may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management,including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Tradeway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interium financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of December 31, 2012, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, based on criteria issued by COSO. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:

(i)

We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. We have limited experience in the areas of financial reporting regarding complex financial instruments. As a result, there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures, will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For example, on May 10, 2012, we became aware that we had failed to recognize a warrant derivative liability with respect to our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock and the subsequent measurement of fair value of the warrant derivative liability, as required by Accounting Standards Codification 815-40. As a result, we determined that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 filed in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q (collectively, the “Reports”) should not be relied upon and needed to be restated; and on August 15, 2012, we became aware that we had failed (i) to initially record and subsequently fair value our derivative liabilities for our bonus warrants and (ii) to properly account for the loss on extinguishment of the debentures upon amendment. As a result, we determined that our consolidated financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, for the year ended December 31, 2011, and for the interim period ended March 31, 2012 should not be relied upon and needed to be restated, and

(ii)

Due to our small size, we do not have a proper segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting and other accounting processes and procedures. This control deficiency results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We are committed to improving our financial organization, and we have adopted additional processes and procedures over financial reporting. If the issuance of any securities is contemplated, we will consult with legal counsel and appropriate accounting resources to evaluate the financial statement impact that the issuance of such financial instruments may have prior to issuance. Additional measures may be implemented as we evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts. We cannot assure you that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing the control objectives.

In addition, we will continue to evaluate the need and costs to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to resolve non-routine or complex accounting matters. As our operations are relatively small and we continue to have net cash losses each quarter, we do not anticipate being able to hire additional internal personnel until such time as our operations are profitable on a cash basis or until our operations are large enough to justify the hiring of additional accounting personnel. As necessary, we may engage consultants in the future in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements.

We believe that engaging additional knowledgeable personnel with specific technical accounting expertise will remedy the following material weakness: insufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements.

We believe that, when the circumstances allow, the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge with the non-routine or technical accounting issues we have encountered in the past will result in both proper recording of these transactions and a much more knowledgeable finance department as a whole. Due to the fact that we have a limited internal accounting staff, additional personnel will also allow for the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turn-over occurs within the department. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-13(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.

Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years, none of our executive officers, directors, promoters or control persons has been involved in a legal proceeding material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of such person.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and any persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% shareholders are required to furnish us with copies of all such forms that they file.

To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us during the period, all such filing requirements were met, except:

	•	Mr. Hatch failed to file a Form 3 upon appointment to our board of directors and the award of an option to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock, effective December 6, 2010, and

	•	Samuel Rose, Allen Kronstadt and MLTM Lending, LLC failed to file on a timely basis Form 4’s with respect to shares of common stock received as payment-in-kind interest an the 8% convertible promissory notes held by such persons as of September 30, 2012.

Code of Ethics

Our code of ethics may be found on our website at http://www.axionintl.com . We intend to disclose on our website any waivers or amendments to our code of ethics within five business days of such action.

Background and Qualifications of Directors

When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the board of directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the our business and structure, the board focuses primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above. We believe that our directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business. As more specifically described in the biographies set forth above, our directors possess relevant knowledge and experience, industry-specific and otherwise, in the manufacturing, recycled plastics, transportation, finance and business fields generally, which we believe enhances the board’s ability to oversee, evaluate and direct our overall corporate strategy. The board annually reviews the composition and size of the board so that the board consists of members with the proper expertise, qualifications, attributes, skills, and personal and professional backgrounds needed by the board, consistent with applicable regulatory requirements.

Committees

Nominating Committee

We do not maintain a nominating committee of the board. Nominations for election or appointment to the board are made by the full board. Because of our small size, we do not believe that a nominating committee would significantly improve our nomination process. We do not have in place procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the board of directors and have not received any recommendations for nominee for the board of directors from any security holders.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors established on Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and DirectorIndependence

Policies for Approval of Related Person Transactions

Pursuant to our policies, any proposed related-party transaction must be approved or ratified by a majority of the disinterested directors on the board of directors or a designated committee thereof consisting solely of disinterested directors. In approving any related-party transaction, the board of directors or the committee must determine that the transaction is on terms no less favorable to us in the aggregate than those generally available to an unaffiliated third party under similar circumstances. Certain transactions with related persons, though not classified as related-party transaction by our policy and thus not subject to its review and approval requirements, may still need to be disclosed if required by the applicable securities laws, rules and regulations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Axion International Holdings, Inc.

New Providence, NJ

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Axion International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based upon our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Axion International Holdings, Inc. at December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, 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 discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Axion International Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Axion International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based upon our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Axion International Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011, 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 discussed in the Note 3 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred significant operating losses in current year and also in the past. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 2, the Company has restated the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended.

Business and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Axion International Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) was formed in 1981. In November 2007, Holdings entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, among Holdings, Axion Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a newly created direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Merger Sub”), and Axion International, Inc., a Delaware corporation which incorporated on August 6, 2006 with operations commencing in November 2007 (“Axion”). On March 20, 2008 Holdings consummated the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub into Axion, with Axion continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On January 18, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of our balance sheet and statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased as an investment, with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we maintained all of our cash in demand or interest-bearing accounts at commercial banks.

(c)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We accrue a reserve on a receivable when, based upon the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of any reserve may be reasonably estimated. Our allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $132,000 and $32,700, respectively.

(d)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of two to twenty years. Costs incurred that extend the useful life of the underlying asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life. Repairs and maintenance are charged directly to operations as incurred.

Our property and equipment is comprised of the following, at December 31:

	2012			2011
Equipment	$	13,754		$	13,754
Machinery and equipment		2,611,933			1,618,701
Purchased software		129,753			56,404
Furniture and fixtures		13,090			14,040
Subtotal – property and equipment, at cost		2,768,530			1,702,899
Less accumulated depreciation		(763,315	)		(655,763	)
Net property and leasehold improvements	$	2,005,215		$	1,047,136

Depreciation expense charged to income during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $107,552 and $137,707, respectively. Of the amount charged to income during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, $95,966 and $23,512, respectively was charged to costs of sales and the remainder to operating expenses.

Exclusive Agreement

In February 2007, we acquired an exclusive, royalty-bearing license in specific but broad global territories to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, modify, develop, import, and export products made using patent applications owned by Rutgers University(Rutgers”). We are using these patented technologies in the production of our composite rail ties and structural building products such as pilings, I-beams, T-beams and boards of various sizes.

(f)

Intangibles

In 2007, we paid approximately $32,000 and issued 714,447 shares of our Common Stock as consideration to Rutgers. We had estimated the fair market value of the consideration received in exchange for the shares totaled approximately $20,000. We recorded these amounts, as well as legal expenses we incurred to acquire the license, as an intangible asset. The license has an indefinite life and is tested for impairment on an annual basis

We are obligated to pay royalties on various product sales to Rutgers, and to reimburse Rutgers for certain patent defense costs. Royalties incurred and payable to Rutgers, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $200,000 for each year.

(g)

Revenue and Cost Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, products are shipped or title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and there are no significant future performance obligations.

We recognize revenue when a fixed commitment to purchase the products is received, title or ownership has passed to the customer and we do not have any performance obligations remaining, such that the earnings process is complete. In most cases, we receive a purchase order from our customer specifying the products requested and delivery instructions. We recognize revenue upon our delivery or shipment of the products as specified in the purchase order.

In other cases where we have a contract which provides for a large number of products and few actual deliveries, the revenues are recorded each month as the products are produced and the risk of ownership passes to the customer upon pre-delivery acceptance. Prior to deliveries, our customer’s products are segregated from our inventory and not available for fulfilling other orders.

Our costs of sales are predominately comprised of the cost of raw materials and the costs and expenses associated with the third-party manufacturer producing the finished product. Under one arrangement, we purchase and supply the raw materials to the third-party manufacturer who we pay a per-pound cost to produce the finished product. Under our other arrangement the third-party manufacturer sources and pays for the raw materials and we purchase the finished product from them at a cost per unit. In addition, for that arrangement, we are responsible for any costs of raw materials purchased by the third-party manufacturer in excess of the arrangement’s reference prices and we share any savings for purchases below the reference prices. Our costs of sales may vary significantly as a result of the variability in the cost of our raw materials and the efficiency with which we plan and execute our manufacturing processes.

Historically, we have not had significant warranty replacements, and do not believe we will in the future.

(h)

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, which establishes deferred tax assets and liabilities to be recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

FASB ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FASB ASC 740 requires a company to recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position when it is “more-likely-than-not” (defined as a substantiated likelihood of more than 50%), based on the technical merits of the position, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Our inability to determine that a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold does not mean that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any other taxing authority will disagree with the position that we have taken.

F-9

If a tax position does not meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, despite our belief that our filing position is supportable, the benefit of that tax position is not recognized in the statements of operations and we are required to accrue potential interest and penalties until the uncertainty is resolved. Potential interest and penalties are recognized as a component of the provision for income taxes which is consistent with our historical accounting policy. Differences between amounts taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements are considered unrecognized tax benefits. We believe that we have a reasonable basis for each of our filing positions and intend to defend those positions if challenged by the IRS or another taxing jurisdiction. If the IRS or other taxing authorities do not disagree with our position, and after the statute of limitations expires, we will recognize the unrecognized tax benefit in the period that the uncertainty of the tax position is eliminated.

We believe that there are no uncertain tax positions that fail to meet the more likely than not recognition threshold to be sustained upon examination. As such, a tabular presentation of those tax benefits taken that do not qualify for recognition is not presented.

We have not remained current with our filing of our federal and state income tax returns. Due to these delinquent filings, our income tax returns are open to examination by federal and state authorities, generally for the tax years ended September 30, 2008 and later.

(i)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill

We assess the potential for impairment in the carrying values of our long-term assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate such impairment may have occurred. An impairment charge to current operations is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset are less than its carrying value. Any such impairment is recognized based on the differences in the carrying value and estimated fair value of the impaired asset.

(j)

Derivative Instruments

For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period as a charge or credit to other expenses. We use the Monte Carlo simulation, and other models, as appropriate to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates and the value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

(k)

Share-Based Compensation

We record share-based compensation for transactions in which we exchange our equity instruments (shares of common stock, options and warrants) for services of employees, consultants and others based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued measurement date. The fair value of common stock awards is based on the observed market value of our stock. We calculate the fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expense is recognized, net of expected forfeitures, over the period of performance. When the vesting of an award is subject to performance conditions, no expense is recognized until achievement of the performance condition is deemed to be probable. Awards to consultants are marked to market at each reporting period as they vest, and the resulting value is recognized as an adjustment against our earnings for the period.

(l)

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share are computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of the potential dilution of outstanding options, warrants, and convertible debt on our common stock as determined using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no dilutive effects of such securities because we incurred a net loss in each period. As of December 31, 2012, we have approximately 58.5 million potential common shares issuable under our convertible instruments, warrant and stock option agreements.

(m)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. We have categorized our financial assets and liabilities that are recurring at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions.

F-10

(n)

Concentration of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash with two major U.S. domestic banks. The amount held in both of the banks exceeds the insured limit of $250,000 from time to time. The amount which exceed the insured limit was approximately $0.3 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We have not incurred losses related to these deposits.

(o)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(p)

Redeemable Common Stock

We account for redeemable common stock in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities,” which provides that securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets are classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable at the option of the holder. Accordingly, at December 31, 2011, 250,000 shares of common stock issued as a commitment fee, pursuant to the revolving credit agreement are classified outside of permanent equity at redemption value. We recognized changes in the redemption value in the period they occurred and adjusted the carrying value of the redeemable common stock to equal its redemption value at the end of each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we reclassified the common stock to permanent equity.

Note 2 – Restatements

On August 15, 2012, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K, to report our determination that our consolidated financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, the year ended December 31, 2011, and the interim period ended March 31, 2012, should not be relied upon because in connection with the terms of the amendment of our 10% convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) on January 14, 2011 we failed (i) to initially record and subsequently fair value our derivative liabilities for the bonus warrants and (ii) to properly account for the loss on extinguishment of the Debentures upon amendment. We determined that the historical consolidated financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for the interim period ended March 31, 2012 require restatement (i) to record the initial fair value upon amendment and the subsequent change in fair value of our derivative bonus warrant liability and (ii) to properly account for the loss on extinguishment of the Debentures upon amendment.

F-11

Our 10% convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) were issued under purchase agreements during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, together with warrants, for aggregate proceeds of $600,000. The total of the fair value of the warrants, as determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and the value of the beneficial conversion features contained in the debentures, representing the difference between the fair value of common stock issuable upon conversion at the date of purchase and the amount of proceeds allocated to the note, exceeded the proceeds received. Accordingly, we recorded a discount on the debentures equal to the principal amount of the debentures. This recorded discount on these debentures was amortized to interest expense on the interest method through their originally scheduled maturity dates in February and March 2011.

Effective January 14, 2011, the holders of our Debentures, agreed to extend the maturity dates to June 30, 2012 and to the elimination of the prohibition of paying dividends or distributions on any of our equity securities. We agreed to amend the interest rate to 15% if paid in cash and to 18% (from 12%) if paid with shares of our common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each $0.60 (from $0.90) of interest. We also agreed to reduce the conversion price, as defined, to $0.60, from $0.90 and to amend the volume weighted average trading price at which we could force conversion to $2.50 from $2.00. In addition, for each calendar month after February or March 2011 that these debentures remained outstanding, we agreed to issue a bonus warrant exercisable for three years for a number of shares of our common stock equal to the 5% of the outstanding principal, divided by $0.90. These bonus warrants are exercisable at $0.90 per share.

Even though these modifications to our Debentures resulted in less than a ten percent difference in the present value of cash flows between the original terms and the modified terms, the fair value of the conversion options was substantially greater than ten percent. We have therefore, accounted for the modification of these Debentures as an extinguishment of the original debt and the establishment of new debt. The remaining unamortized debt discount of the original debt of approximately $72,200 and difference between the reacquisition price of the new debt and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt of $1.4 million were recognized as a loss in our statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the period of amendment.

In addition, since it was probable that we would issue the bonus warrants which were part of the reacquisition costs of the new debt, at each month-end through the amended maturity date, we calculated the fair value of the bonus warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and recorded a derivative liability of approximately $797,000 on the date of amendment and recognized the amount as a loss in our statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the period of amendment. The bonus warrant derivative liability does not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under ASC 815, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a gain or loss on the derivative liability in the accompanying statements of operations. (See Note7)

This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012 incorporates corrections made in response to the accounting errors described above by restating our financial statements and other disclosures where necessary, to properly account for these issues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 3 - Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. We have working capital of $1.6 million, a stockholders’ deficit of $8.0 million and have accumulated losses to date of $35.1 million. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing requirements, either by raising additional capital or the success of our business plan and future operations. We may seek additional means of financing to fund our business plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure our eventual profitability. We believe that actions planned and presently being taken to revise our operating and financial requirements provide us the opportunity to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

Note 4 - Inventories

Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market and consist primarily of raw materials, parts for assembling our finished products and finished products.

Our inventories consisted of:

	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011

Finished products	$	2,509,797	$	1,032,798
Production materials		579,156		495,693
Total inventories	$	3,088,953	$	1,528,491

Since we also engage third-party contract manufacturers to produce our finished products, and in certain situations we provide them the raw materials, our inventories at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are located at the third-party contract manufacturing locations. We carry adequate insurance for loss on this inventory.

Note 6 - Derivative Liabilities

8% Convertible Promissory Notes – Conversion Option and Warrants

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued 8% convertible promissory notes (the “8% Notes”) see Note 7 for further discussion. The 8% Notes met the definition of a hybrid instrument, as defined in the ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The hybrid instrument was composed of a debt instrument, as the host contract, and an option to convert the debt outstanding under the terms of the 8% Notes, into shares of our common stock. The 8% Notes were issued with a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock. Both the conversion option and the warrants are derivative liabilities. The conversion option derives its value based on the underlying fair value of the shares of our common stock which is not clearly and closely related to the underlying host debt instrument since the economic characteristics and risk associated with the conversion option derivative are based on the common stock fair value. The warrants do not qualify as equity under ASC 815. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these warrant and conversion option liabilities are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a change in fair value in the statement of operations.

F-15

We determined the fair value of the conversion option and warrant derivative liabilities on the various dates of issuance and recorded these fair values as a discount to the debt and a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion option derivative liability on the various dates of issuance and on December 31, 2012 aggregated approximately $1,025,700 and $610,000, respectively. The decrease in fair value of approximately $415,700 was recorded as a change in derivative liability in the statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2012. The fair value of the warrants derivative liability on the various dates of issuance and on December 31, 2012 aggregated approximately $443,300 and $220,000, respectively. The decrease in fair value of approximately $223,300 was recorded as a change in fair value of derivative liability in the statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The estimated fair values of the conversion option and the warrant derivative liabilities were computed by a third party using Monte Carlo simulations based on the following ranges for each assumption:

	At Issuances			December 31, 2012

Volatility		50.0	%		50.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.3% to 0.4	%		0.3	%
Dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%

The convertible revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Agreement”) , see Note 7 for further discussion, entered into during the year ended December 31, 2011 met the definition of a hybrid instrument, as defined in ASC 815. The hybrid instrument was comprised of a (i) a debt instrument, as the host contract and (ii) an option to convert the debt outstanding under the revolving credit agreement into shares of our common stock, as an embedded derivative. The embedded derivative derives its value based on the underlying fair value of the shares of our common stock. The embedded derivative is not clearly and closely related to the underlying host debt instrument since the economic characteristics and risk associated with this derivative are based on the common stock fair value.

We estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative on the date of issue using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following range of assumptions - (i) no dividend yield, (ii) an expected volatility of 71%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate of 0.11%, and (iv) an expected life of 10 months. We recorded this fair value as a discount to the debt and a derivative liability on the date of issue. This embedded derivative did not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under ASC 815. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative were immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a change in fair value of derivative liability in the accompanying statements of operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized a gain on the change in fair value of this derivative liability of approximately $113,300 and $5,400, respectively in our statement of operations. Since the Revolving Agreement was terminated during the year ended December 31, 2012, there was no derivative liability at December 31, 2012.

10% Convertible Preferred Stock – Warrants

The 10% convertible preferred stock (see Note 7 for further discussion), issued during the year ended December 31, 2011 meets the definition of a hybrid instrument, as defined in ASC 815. The hybrid instrument is comprised of a (i) a preferred stock, as the host contract, (ii) a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock to be issued if a certain revenue milestone was not achieved (the “Make Good Warrant”), as an embedded derivative liability and (iii) an option to convert the preferred stock into shares of our common stock (the “Conversion Option”). Since, at issuance the number of shares of common stock which the Make Good Warrant would be exercisable into, was not determinable, pursuant to ASC 815 the fair value of the Make Good Warrants is recorded as a derivative liability at issuance and any change in fair value of the derivative liability is recognized in current earnings. The Conversion Option derives its value based on the underlying fair value of the shares of our common stock as does the Preferred Stock, and therefore is clearly and closely related to the underlying host contract.

The Make Good Warrant derivative liability does not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under ASC 815. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a change in fair value of derivative liability in the accompanying statements of operations. At the date of issuance in March and April 2011, we determined the fair value of the Make Good Warrant derivative to be insignificant and did not record a charge to Common Stock and a credit to the derivative liability. Subsequently in 2011, when it became probable that the revenue milestone would not be met, we recorded the derivative liability at fair value of $1.9 million and recorded a charge to changes in fair value of derivative liability in our statement of operations. We estimated the initial fair value of this derivative liability by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions - (i) no dividend yield, (ii) an expected volatility of 110%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate 0.6%, and (iv) an expected life of fifty-one months.

Since we did not achieve the revenue milestone for the year ended December 31, 2011, we were required to issue the Make Good Warrants, and accordingly once issued, the derivative liability associated with the Make Good Warrants was satisfied and the related derivative liability was reduced to zero. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we credited common stock for the issuance of these warrants at the fair value of the derivative liability of $1.9 million.

10% Convertible Debenture – Bonus Warrants

Effective January 14, 2011, the holders of our 10% convertible debentures (“Debentures”), see Note 7 for further discussion, agreed to extend the maturity dates to June 30, 2012 and to the elimination of the prohibition of paying dividends or distributions on any of our equity securities. In addition to other amendments, we agreed that for each calendar month after the original maturity dates that these Debentures remained outstanding, we would issue a bonus warrant exercisable for three years for a number of shares of our common stock equal to 5% of the outstanding principal, divided by $0.90.

Since it was probable that we would issue the bonus warrants which were part of the reacquisition costs of the new debt, at each month-end through the amended maturity date, we calculated the fair value of the bonus warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and recorded a derivative liability of approximately $797,000 on the date of amendment and recognized the amount as a loss in our statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the period of amendment. We estimated the initial fair value of this derivative liability by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions - (i) no dividend yield, (ii) an expected volatility of 117%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate 1.0%, and (iv) an expected life of thirty-six months.

This bonus warrant derivative liability does not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under ASC 815 and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative liability are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a change in fair value of derivative liability in the accompanying statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded approximately $13,300 and $492,100, respectively a change in fair value of the derivative liability. Upon issuance of the bonus warrants during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we credited additional paid-in capital for approximately $57,000 and $234,700, respectively.

Placement Agent Warrants

We issued warrants to the placement agents for the sale of our 10% convertible preferred stock, to purchase 58,352 shares of 10% convertible preferred stock at $10 per share. Since the underlying 10% convertible preferred stock is redeemable by the holder after three years from the date of purchase, we recorded the fair value of the warrants at issuance, as a liability on our balance sheet and we re-measure this warrant liability at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. We estimated the initial fair value of this derivative liability by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions - (i) no dividend yield, (ii) an expected volatility of 129%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate 2.1%, and (iv) an expected life of five years. The fair value of the warrant liability at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $81,700 and $487,600, respectively and we recognized a charge to our statement of operations for the change in fair value of the warrant liability during the year ended December 31, 2012 of approximately $405,800.

Accounting for Fair Value Measurements

We are required to disclose the fair value measurements required by Accounting for Fair Value Measurements. The derivative liability recorded at fair value in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure its fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by Accounting for Fair Value Measurements are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of the liability is as follows:

Level 1 -	Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2 -	Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 -	Unobservable inputs, for which little or no market data exist, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

8% Convertible Promissory Notes

During the year ended December 31, 2012 we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Melvin Lenkin, Samuel Rose and others (collectively the “Investors”, see Note 14 regarding related party transactions), pursuant to which, we issued and sold to the Investors (i) an aggregate principal amount of $7,128,187 of our 8.0% convertible promissory notes over several dates (the “Notes”) which are initially convertible into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price equal to $0.40 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided on the terms of the Notes, and (ii) associated warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 17,820,470 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided on the terms of the warrants.

The Notes, including all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable on the earlier of five years from date of issuance or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes). We may prepay the Notes, in whole or in part, upon 60 calendar days prior written notice to the holders thereof. Interest accrues on the Notes at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable during the first three years that the Notes are outstanding in shares of common stock, valued at the weighted average price of a share of common stock for the twenty consecutive trading days prior to the interest payment date, pursuant to the terms of the Notes. During the fourth and fifth years that the Notes are outstanding, interest that accrues under the Notes shall be payable in cash.

The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.60 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided for by the terms thereof, for a period commencing on the date of issuance and ending on the earlier to occur of the date that is (i) three years after the date upon which the weighted average price of a share of common stock for the 90 consecutive trading days prior to such date is at least $2.00 per share, and (ii) five years after the date on which the Note to which the applicable warrant is related has been repaid in full.

In connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to the terms thereof, (i) we granted to the Investors certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the registration of certain Company securities under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) we granted a security interest and lien in all of our assets and rights to the Investors to secure our obligations under the Notes.

The issuance costs of approximately $124,700, plus the fair values of the conversion option derivative liability and the warrants derivative liability were recorded as a discount to the Notes. This debt discount is amortized to other expenses in our statement of operations over the initial term of the 8% Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we amortized approximately $136,700 of the discount to other expenses in our statement of operations. See Note 6 for further discussion of these derivative liabilities.

12% Convertible Revolving Credit Agreement

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we entered into a convertible revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Agreement”) with Samuel Rose (“Lender”) and borrowed $466,000. Under the terms of the Revolving Agreement, Lender had agreed to lend us up to $2,000,000 on a revolving basis (the “Loan”). The Loan carried interest at 12% per annum on any outstanding principal amount. In consideration for the Loan, we issued to Lender 250,000 shares of our restricted common stock and initially accounted for this redeemable common stock outside of permanent equity at redemption value.

The fair value at issuance of the shares given as consideration of approximately $242,500 and the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability of approximately $118,700 were both recorded as a discount to the outstanding Loan, with the discount of approximately $361,200 initially amortized over the contractual term of the Revolving Agreement through September 30, 2012. Since we repaid the outstanding principal and terminated the Revolving Agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date, we expensed the remaining discounts during the year ended December 31, 2012. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we amortized approximately $305,200 and $56,000, respectively of the discount to other expenses in our statement of operations. . See Note 6 for further discussion of the conversion option derivative liability.

Upon termination of the Agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2012, the 250,000 shares of common stock were reclassified to permanent equity.

F-19

10% Convertible Debentures

Our 10% convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) were issued under purchase agreements during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, together with warrants, for aggregate proceeds of $600,000. The total of the fair value of the warrants, as determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and the value of the beneficial conversion options contained in the debentures, representing the difference between the fair value of common stock issuable upon conversion at the date of purchase and the amount of proceeds allocated to the note, exceeded the proceeds received. Accordingly, we recorded a discount on the Debentures equal to the principal amount of the Debentures. This recorded discount on these Debentures was initially amortized to interest expense on the interest method through their originally scheduled maturity dates in February and March 2011.

Effective January 14, 2011, the holders of our Debentures, agreed to extend the maturity dates to June 30, 2012 and to the elimination of the prohibition of paying dividends or distributions on any of our equity securities. We agreed to amend the interest rate to 15% if paid in cash and to 18% (from 12%) if paid with shares of our common stock at the rate of one share of common stock for each $0.60 (from $0.90) of interest. We also agreed to reduce the conversion price, as defined, to $0.60, from $0.90 and to amend the volume weighted average trading price at which we could force conversion to $2.50 from $2.00. In addition, for each calendar month after February or March 2011 that these Debentures remained outstanding, we agreed to issue a bonus warrant exercisable for three years for a number of shares of our common stock equal to the 5% of the outstanding principal, divided by $0.90. These bonus warrants are exercisable at $0.90 per share.

Even though these modifications to our Debentures resulted in less than a ten percent difference in the present value of cash flows between the original terms and the modified terms, the fair value of the conversion options was substantially greater than ten percent. We have therefore, accounted for the modification of these Debentures as an extinguishment of the original debt and the establishment of new debt. The difference between the reacquisition price of the new debt and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt was $1.4 million and was recognized as a loss in our statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2011, the period of amendment.

The principal of $600,000 and accrued interest were repaid during the year ended December 31, 2012, upon maturity.

8.75% Convertible Debenture

At maturity on January 31, 2012, we repaid the full principal of $172,500 plus accrued interest on our 8.75% convertible debenture.

Note 8 - 10% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock

The components of our Preferred Stock, classified as temporary equity in our balance sheet, are summarized as follows:

	December 31,			December 31,
	2012			2011
				(As Restated)
10% convertible preferred stock - face value	$	7,060,230		$	7,522,730
Accrued dividends		-			176,620
Unamortized discount		(1,137,618	)		(2,179,094	)
10% convertible preferred stock, net of discount	$	5,922,612		$	5,520,256

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we designated 880,000 shares of preferred stock as 10% convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock has a stated value (the “Stated Value”) of $10.00 per share. The Preferred Stock and any dividends thereon may be converted into shares of our common stock at any time by the holder at a conversion rate, as adjusted (the “Conversion Rate”). The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of ten percent per annum payable quarterly. Dividends shall not be declared, paid or set aside for any series or other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, until all dividends have been paid in full on the Preferred Stock. The dividends on the Preferred Stock are payable, at our option, in cash, if permissible, or in additional shares of common stock. The Preferred Stock is not subject to any anti-dilution provisions other than for stock splits and stock dividends or other similar transactions. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote with our stockholders in any matter. The number of votes that may be cast by a holder of our Preferred Stock shall equal the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock purchased divided by the Conversion Rate. The Preferred Stock shall be redeemable for cash by the holder any time after the three-year anniversary from the initial purchase. The Preferred Stock may be converted by us, provided that the variable weighted average price of our common stock has closed at $4.00 per share or greater, for sixty consecutive trading days and during such sixty-day period, the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock have either been registered for resale or are issuable without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Preferred Stock when issued was a hybrid instrument comprised of a (i) a preferred stock, (ii) an option to convert the preferred stock into shares of our common stock (the “Conversion Option”) and (iii) a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock to be issued if a certain revenue milestone (the “Revenue Milestone”) was not achieved (the “Make Good Warrant”), as an embedded derivative liability. The Conversion Option derives its value based on the underlying fair value of the shares of our common stock as does the Preferred Stock, and therefore is clearly and closely related to the underlying preferred stock. Since, at issuance the number of shares of common stock which the Make Good Warrant would be exercisable into, was not determinable, and since the fair value of the Make Good Warrants was deemed improbable, we did not record a derivative liability. See Note 6 for further discussion on these derivative liabilities.

F-20

Since our Revenue Milestone for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was not achieved (i) the Conversion Rate was reduced to $1.00, and (ii) each holder received a Make Good Warrant to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to fifty percent of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock at the Conversion Rate. The Make Good Warrants expire December 31, 2015, have an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share and provide for cashless exercise at any time the underlying shares of common stock have not been registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 or are issuable without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

During March and April 2011, we sold 759,773 shares of Preferred Stock at a price per share of $10, for gross proceeds of $7,597,730. We paid commissions, legal fees and other expenses of issuance of $828,340, which has been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the Preferred Stock. At issuance of the Preferred Stock, we attributed a conversion option to the Preferred Stock based upon the difference between the Conversion Rate at the time of issuance and the closing price of our common stock on the date of issuance, which was recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Make Good adjustment of the Conversion Rate to $1.00, at December 31, 2011 the conversion option was recalculated as if the $1.00 Conversion Rate was in affect at issuance which amounted to $2.1 million, and the amortization of the related discount was adjusted for the year ended December 31, 2011. These discounts are amortized over three years consistent with the initial redemption terms, as a charge to additional paid-in capital, due to our deficit in retained earnings and during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 we amortized approximately $521,300 and $973,100, respectively to additional paid-in capital. At December 31, 2012, the unamortized Preferred Stock discount balance was approximately $1.1 million.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we issued 462,500 and 60,000 shares of our common stock, respectively upon conversion of 46,250 and 7,500 shares of our Preferred Stock, respectively.

The Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2012, is convertible into 7.1 million shares of our common stock.

Since the Preferred Stock may ultimately be redeemed at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the shares, net of unamortized discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as temporary equity.

Our dividend payable on December 31, 2012 was paid, in lieu of cash, with approximately 472,400 shares of common stock, which were issued effective December 31, 2012.

Placement Agent Warrants

We issued warrants to the placement agents for the sale of our Preferred Stock, to purchase 58,352 shares of 10% convertible preferred stock at $10 per share. Since at issuance, the number of shares of common stock which these warrants would be exercisable into was not determinable, we recorded the fair value of the warrants at issuance, as a liability on our balance sheet and we re-value this warrant liability at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. See Note 6 for further discussion of derivative liabilities.

Note 9 - Stockholders’ Equity

We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value, and up to 2,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, no par value. There were 28,820,173 and 25,257,261 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we designated 880,000 shares of preferred stock as 10% convertible preferred stock and had issued and outstanding 706,023 and 752,273 shares of 10% convertible preferred stock at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We may issue additional shares of preferred stock, with dividend requirements, voting rights, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and premiums, conversion rights and other terms without a vote of the shareholders.

Note 10 - Share-based Compensation

Options

We have two nonqualified stock option plans approved by shareholders with an aggregate of approximately 2.1 million shares remaining available for grant as of December 31, 2012. The exercise price of the options are established by the Board of Directors on the date of grant and are generally equal to the market price of the stock on the grant date. The Board of Directors may determine the vesting period for each new grant. Options issued are exercisable in whole or in part for a period as determined by the Board of Directors of up to ten years from the date of grant.

We estimated the fair value of each option award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following range of assumptions for awards:

	For the Year Ended
	December 31,			December 31,
	2012			2011

Dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected volatility, in years		125	%		82% to 136	%
Risk-free interest rates		0.8% to 0.9	%		0.4% to 2.6	%
Expected lives, in years		5			2 to 7

For options awarded during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the weighted average fair value per share on grant date was $0.61 and $0.93, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we awarded options to purchase 250,000 and 1,130,000 shares, respectively of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.72 and $1.14 per share, respectively to employees as components of their initial hiring compensation. The right to exercise these options is based on (i) service time or (ii) in certain instances the optionee’s achievement of specific objectives. We estimated the fair value on the date of grant for the service time-vested options awarded during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and amortized those fair values over the service time requirement. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we amortized approximately $161,300 and $488,200, respectively fo those fair values to operating expenses. For those option awards that vest on the optionee’s achievement of certain objectives, until it is probable that the optionee will achieve the specific objective, the award is not earned and the fair value of the option is not estimated. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, certain objective-based options were earned, and the aggregate estimated fair value of those options of approximately $22,300 and $92,000, respectively were charged to operating expenses.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued options to purchase 835,000 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.50, to certain employees in recognition of services rendered and as an incentive for services to be rendered or additional objectives to be achieved. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we charged the fair value of those options earned based on service time of approximately $404,500 to operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2012, it was deemed probable that certain of the objective-based options would be earned therefore the estimated fair values of these options of approximately $131,000 were charged to operating expenses.

Options to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.20 were issued during the year ended December 31, 2011, to certain of our directors for board responsibilities. The fair value of these options on their date of grant based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model was approximately $363,800. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 we charged approximately $28,400 and $330,700, respectively of the fair value to operating expenses, with approximately $4,700 of the fair value remaining to be charged to operating expenses subsequent to December 31, 2012.

We issued options to purchase 50,000 and 232,500 shares of our common stock to certain advisory board members during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, with weighted average exercise prices of $0.74 and $1.13 per share, respectively. Their fair values on the date of grant, based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, were approximately $31,200 and $222,000, which were charged to operating expenses during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In addition to the charges to operating expenses during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 for the fair value of options awarded and earned during the respective year, certain options awarded in prior periods were amortized over their vesting periods encompassing the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. We charged to operating expenses approximately $71,800 and $316,100 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, an aggregate of approximately $445,900 and $1,853,400 was recognized in operating expenses in relation to options.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we issued warrants to purchase 166,675 and 316,682 shares of our common stock, respectively at exercise prices of $0.60 to the holders of our 10% convertible debentures pursuant to their amended terms. Since the fair value of those warrants was initially recorded as a derivative liability and charged to other expenses in our statement of operation upon the amendment of the debentures, upon issuance of the warrants, these fair values of approximately $57,000 and $234,700, respectively was charged to the derivative liability and credited to equity. See Notes 6 and 7 for further discussion of these warrants.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we issued warrants to purchase 300,000 and 265,676 shares of our common stock, respectively to consultants and advisors at weighted average exercise prices of $0.82 and $1.25 per share, respectively. These warrants had a fair value of approximately $78,600 and $265,100, respectively at the date of grant which was charged to our statement of operations. For the warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair value of these warrants at their grant dates by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following range of assumptions: (i) no dividend yield, (ii) expected volatility of between 100% and 118%, (iii) risk-free interest rates of between 0.4% and 0.6%, and (iv) expected lives of three to five years.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued warrants to purchase 3,761,365 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 to the holders of our 10% convertible preferred stock pursuant to the terms of the agreement. When it was probable we would be required to issue these warrants, their fair value was estimated to be $2.4 million, which was recorded as a derivative liability and a charge to other expense in our statement of operations. We estimated the initial fair value of these warrants by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions - (i) no dividend yield, (ii) an expected volatility of 110%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate 0.6%, and (iv) an expected life of fifty-one months. See Notes 6 and 8 for further discussion of these warrants. Upon issuance of the warrants, the derivative liability of $1.8 million was eliminated and a credit to equity was made.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, pursuant to our 8% convertible promissory notes, we issued warrants to purchase 17,820,470 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share. These warrants had fair values on their dates of issuances of approximately $443,300 which were recorded as a credit to derivative liabilities and a charge to debt discount associated with our 8% convertible promissory notes. See Notes 6 and 7 for further discussion of these warrants. The estimated fair value of the warrants was computed by a third party using Monte Carlo simulation models.

In addition, the fair value of a previously issued warrant which is being amortized over a service period spanning multiple reporting periods, was revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, at the end of each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we reduced the fair value by approximately $157,800 and recorded a credit in our statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2011, based on the fair value we recorded a charge in our statement of operations of approximately $273,400.

We do not have any amount recorded for any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, nor did we record any amount for the implementation of ASC 740. Our policy is to record estimated interest and penalty related to underpayment of income taxes or unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax provision. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not recognize any interest or penalties in our statement of operations and there are no accruals for interest or penalties at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

We lease our office space in New Providence, New Jersey pursuant to a one-year extension of our prior three-year lease agreement for monthly lease payments of approximately $3,800. These premises serve as our corporate headquarters. The lease expires on October 31, 2013. Facility rent expense totaled approximately $45,000 and $39,600 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Royalty Agreements

In February 2007, we acquired an exclusive, royalty-bearing license in specific but broad global territories to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, modify, develop, import, and export products made using patent applications owned by Rutgers University (Rutgers”). We are using these patented technologies in the production of our composite rail ties and structural building products. The term of the License Agreement runs until the expiration of the last-to-expire issued patent within the Rutgers’ technologies licensed under the License Agreement, unless terminated earlier.

We are obligated to pay Rutgers royalties ranging from 1.5% to 3.0% on various product sales, subject to certain minimum payments each year and to reimburse Rutgers for certain patent defense costs in the case of patent infringement claims made against the Rutgers patents. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we accrued royalties payable to Rutgers on product sales of approximately $86,400 and $29,600, respectively. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2012, since we did not meet the minimum royalty due pursuant to the license, we accrue $113,600 which was charged to operating expenses in our statement of operations. We also pay annual membership dues to Rutgers Center for Advanced Materials via Immiscible Polymer Processing, or AMIPP, a department of Rutgers. The membership allows us to use AMIPP for basic research and development at no additional cost, with access to more comprehensive R&D services available to us for fees determined on a per-project basis.

Litigation

In April 2006, we commenced an action against Tonga Partners, L.P. (Tonga”), Cannell Capital, L.L.C. and J. Carlo Cannell in the United States District Court of New York, for disgorgement of short-swing profits pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On November 10, 2004, Tonga converted a convertible promissory note into 1,701,341 shares of Common Stock, and thereafter, between November 10 and November 15, 2004, sold such shares for short-swing profits. In September 2008, the District Court granted us summary judgment against Tonga for disgorgement of short-swing profits in the amount of $5.0 million. The defendants appealed the order granting the summary judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. The three judge panel held in our favor. The defendants petitioned the Court for a full judge review. The petition was denied. The defendants have advised that they intend to request the US Supreme Court to accept an appeal of the case. Until the defendants no longer have any possibility of any further judicial review, we cannot access the cash bond that the defendants posted.

From time to time we may be subject to various other routine legal matters incidental to our business, but we do not believe that they would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
