SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The following cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Any statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely", "are expected to", "should", "is anticipated", "estimated", "intends", "plans", "projection" and "outlook". Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to various factors discussed throughout this Quarterly Report and discussed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Among the significant factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are: - - the need for additional financing - - the potential risk of delay in implementing our business plan; and - - the market for products. Because the factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, persons should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. In addition, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made, to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise or to assess with any precision the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HENRY L. CREEL CO., INC. Certified Public Accountant (216)491-0800 Fax (216)491-0803 To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of AUGRID CORPORATION ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of AuGRID CORPORATION as of June 30, 2004, and the related statement of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the six months period ended June 30, 2004, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in this financial statement is the representation of the management of the AuGRID CORPORATION A review consists principally of inquires of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. As discussed in note 1, the Company has a going concern problem. Without realization of additional capital and source of revenue, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. Based on my reviews, with the exception of the matter described in the above paragraph, We are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Organization AuGRID CORPORATION, (a Development Stage Company) whose name was changed from Augrid of Nevada, Inc in August 17, 2002 formed under the laws of the State of Nevada. It is a development stage company whose primary business is a technology development firm specializing in Thin Cathode Ray Tube (TCRT) technology. B. Basis of Presentation The financial records of the company are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. C. Property and Equipment All property and equipment is stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation, using the straight line method, over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, as follows: Years ----- Machinery and Equipment $ 204,831 10 Furniture and Fixtures 42,139 10 Office Equipment 66,489 10 ---------- Total Property & Equipment $ 313,460 ========== Major renewals and improvements of property and equipment are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the assets are charged against current operations. When property and equipment is disposed of, any gain or loss is included in current operations. D. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with general accepted accounting principles require management to make estimate and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -10- AuGRID CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements As of December 31, 2004 Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) E. Going Concern The company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has limited source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amount and classification of liabilities which might be necessary should the company continue as a concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. Management's has begun producing sales in late 2003. F. Research and Development Expense The company's policy relating to research and development and patent development cost are expensed when incurred except R&D machinery, equipment, and facilities which have alternative future uses either in R&D activities or otherwise. Machinery, equipment and facilities, which have alternate future uses should be capitalized. All expenditures in conjunction with an R&D project, including personnel cost, materials, equipment, facilities, and intangibles, for which the company has no alternative future use beyond the specific project for which the items were purchased, are expensed. G. Revenue Recognition The company has limited amounts of Revenue. H. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets & Long -Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 121), requires the Company to review for possible impairment, assets to be held for use and assets held for disposal, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and in such event, to record an impairment loss. The Company adopted SFAS 121 in 1998 and evaluated the recoverability of long lived assets at its properties. Initial adoption of SFAS 121 in 1998 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. -11- AuGRID CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements As of December 31, 2004 Note 1 Organization andSummary of Significant Accounting Policies ( Continued ) H .Impairment of Long-Lived Assets & Long -Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of (Cont) Up to 2000, the company recorded a charges of $1,822,907 from continuing operations relating to an impairment loss on other assets.

Due to management approval Summit Media LLC is no longer in existence. Alysium Corporation Effective August 15, 2003 the company acquired 100% ownership of Alysium Corporation.

On March 2, 1998, Ironwood Ventures' executed a forward stock split of its stock, 6.06571228 to 1. In addition, Ironwood Ventures' increased its authorized shares to 90,000,000 common shares, par value $0.001, 10,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.001, and changed its name to AuGRID of Nevada, Inc On March 12, 1998, Ironwood Ventures' - now called AuGRID of Nevada, Inc - executed an asset purchase agreement purchasing substantially all of the assets of Augrid Corporation, a Delaware corporation hereinafter referred to as "Augrid of Delaware", a company under common control by the control stockholders of the Ironwood Ventures', for 1,000,000 newly issued shares of the Ironwood Ventures'. This was not a third party, arms length transaction, and due to the development stage and specialized nature of the assets\technology that Ironwood Ventures' purchased, the Company's management is unable to determine how this transaction would compare to a similar arms length transaction. The shares of common stock were spun off to Augrid of Delaware shareholders on a pro-rate basis on March 13, 1998. On August 17, 2002 at the Company's annual shareholders meeting the company changed its name to AuGRID Corporation and initiated a 50 to 1 reverse split which decreased the amount of shares outstanding to 13,216,813 outstanding at March 31, 2003. -14- AuGRID CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Financial Statements As of December 31, 2004 Note 6 Net Loss Per Share The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, earnings per share (SFAS 128) The following table presents the calculation.

MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain statements in this Quarterly Report, which are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information" on Page 2. Overview AuGRID Corporation operates within three business segments: o designing, marketing and distributing consumer electronics, principally in plasma televisions; o development and marketing of nanotechnology-based products, including thermocouples and armor plating; o development and marketing of security-based systems utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-technology Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, OptiPure LLC, a Nevada limited liability corporation, we design, market and distribute high-end consumer electronics. We formed OptiPure in July 2003 to establish distribution channels for innovative electronic devices as well as our future Field Emission Display (FED) technology. Our goal is to become a provider in the high-end consumer electronics arena by fulfilling a need in the marketplace. We believe that through an array of highly original and technologically advanced product lines, OptiPure's electronic devices address the niche market often ignored or over-looked by other manufacturers and distribution companies, high-end consumer electronics, specialty motor-coach and the marine industry. OptiPure is a limited distributed product line manufactured by third party suppliers in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea according to AuGRID's strict specifications, and is intended that it will be sold only through selected authorized dealers and distributors. Alysium Corporation, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of AuGRID, is a manufacturing concern specializing in the fields of thermalcouple advancement, nanotechnology and armor plating. Alysium is a diversified manufacturer and distributor. Currently, Alysium is manufacturing and delivering next generation thermocouples, distributing specialty sensors, drives and motors while continuing the advancement and testing of its armor plating. Our executive offices are located at 10777 Westheimer Rd. - Suite 1040, Houston, Texas 77042, and our telephone number is (713) 532.2000. We also lease and maintain an 8,000-square foot manufacturing facility with a state of the art ISO Clean Room at 3636 Dime Circle, Austin, Texas 78744 for our wholly owned subsidiary, Alysium Corporation. Liquidity and Capital Resources. We have experienced cash flow shortages due to operating losses primarily attributable to research, development, marketing and other costs associated with -16- our strategic plan as an international developer and supplier of Plasma Televisions and Thermocouples as well as a distributor of specialty motors and drives. Cash flows from operations have not been sufficient to meet our obligations. Therefore, we have had to raise funds through several financing transactions. At least until we reach breakeven volume in sales and develop and/or acquire the capability to manufacture and sell our products profitably, we will need to continue to rely on cash from external financing sources. Augrid is seeking new investment capital to fund research and development and create new market opportunities. In order to fund our growth in the market, we will need additional capital to further these development programs and augment our intellectual properties. In late December 2003, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP. Pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically issue and sell shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $10 million. If we request advances under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Cornell Capital Partners will purchase shares of common stock of AuGRID for 97% of the lowest closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market on which our common stock is traded for the 5 days immediately following the advance notice date. Cornell Capital Partners will retain 5% of each advance under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. We may not request advances in excess of a total of $10 million. The aggregate dollar amount of all Puts in any thirty-day calendar period is Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) and specifically a maximum of Seventy Five Thousand ($75,000) per Put. This agreement was solidified under the guidance of the law firm of Kirkpatrick and Lockhart, LLP. In January, 2004 and again in April, 2004, we issued a Secured Convertible Debenture to Cornell Capital Partners in the principal amount of $150,000 each. The convertible debenture is convertible into shares of our common stock as a price per share that is equal to the lesser of: (i) an amount equal to 100% of the closing bid price of our common stock as of the date of the convertible debenture or (ii) an amount equal to 80% of the average of the lowest daily-volume-weighted average price of our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The convertible debenture accrues interest at a rate of 5% per year and is convertible at the holder's option. The convertible debenture may be paid in cash or converted into shares of our common stock unless converted earlier by the holder. Except after an event of default, as set forth in the Secured Convertible Debenture the holder cannot convert such debenture for a number of shares of common stock of AuGRID in excess of that number of shares which, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially held by such holder and its affiliated to exceed 9.997% of the outstanding shares of common stock of AuGRID. In the absence of outside financing, we believe that we have sufficient cash to operate for approximately one (1) month. The Company should benefit in fiscal 2004 from expense reductions through the reduction in the number of employees and other expenses undertaken in fiscal 2003. However, the Company's current sources of funds are not sufficient to provide the working capital for material growth, and it would be required to obtain additional debt or equity financing to support such growth. -17- Throughout 2004, management reassessed its current resource allocations and overhead costs. Management implemented several cost reduction programs including personnel reductions, work-week modifications and other cost restraint endeavors to achieve these goals. Personnel levels have again been reduced. In early December 2003, management discontinued its modified compensation plan for full-time salaried employees as well as work-week reductions for other employees. Because of the workforce reductions and other cost containment policies, the Company continues to realize a reduction in monthly cash outlays via these cost reductions without impact to our current operations. Our operations during the period ended June 30, 2004 were financed by development contracts and product sales, as well as from working capital reserves. During the period ended June 30, 2004, our operations required $819,829 more in cash than was generated. We have minimized research and development spending and increased sales, marketing and administrative expenses necessary for expansion to meet customer demand. Accounts receivable increased by $167,570from $8,195 from the balance at December 31, 2003. Augrid Corporation will began several new development contacts in the third quarter, as noted throughout this Form 10-QSB, which we anticipate will increase receivables in future quarters. Fixed assets increased by $0 from $313,459 on December 31, 2003 balances. Other assets remained constant at $24,141 during 2nd Quarter 2004. Current Liabilities decreased by $119,467 to $195,057 during the period ending June 30, 2004. Long term notes were increased by $438,603 to $1,615,006 during 2nd Quarter 2004 We have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We do not believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet all of our cash requirements for the next twelve months, however, through cost reductions and increased marketing efforts together with additional proceeds from debentures and note agreements we believe we will offset a portion of our cash flow shortfall. A key element of our strategy is to evaluate opportunities to expand through acquisition of companies engaged in similar and related complementary businesses. Any additional acquisitions may require additional capital, although there can be no assurances that any acquisitions will be completed. Also, we believe that additional funding will be necessary to expand our market share. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make the appropriate application of certain accounting policies, many of which require estimates and assumptions about future events and their effect on amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Since future events and their effect cannot be determined with certainty, the actual results will inevitably differ from the estimates. Such differences could be material to the financial statements. -18- ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in our internal controls which are included within disclosure controls and procedures during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In October 2003, the Company engaged the services of Baker & Hostetler, LLP to initiate legal proceedings and investigate the viability of the Company's Global Exclusive Licensing Agreement with Ceravision Limited, UK. To date, the process continues to be in the discovery phase. A complaint was filed by Francis J. Iaconis in November 2003 against AuGrid Corporation of Nevada and Muhammad J. Shaheed in the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, Case No. 1:03CV2372. Previously, a default was entered against the company and Mr. Shaheed. The company and Mr. Shaheed moved to set aside the default entry based on improper service, improper party and lack of jurisdiction. Mr. Iaconis responded to the motion, to which the company and Mr. Shaheed filed a reply. After consideration of the pleadings, the Court ordered Mr. Iaconis to show why the Court should exercise jurisdiction over the matter. Accordingly, the Court ordered Mr. Iaconis to file such amended complaint no later than June 28, 2004. Mr. Iaconis filed his Amended Complaint on June 28, 2004. The company and Mr. Shaheed filed their answer on July 19, 2004, denying all material allegations of the merits of Mr. Iaconis' Amended Complaint, including, but not limited to, lack of jurisdiction. On August 4, 2004, the Court vacated the entry of default. The matter is pending before the Court. There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which AuGRID Corporation or its subsidiaries are a party to or of which any of their property is the subject. ITEM 2. RISK FACTORS AND OTHER INFORMATION Factors that May Affect Future Results and Market Price of Our Stock -19- We face a number of substantial risks. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and they should be considered in connection with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB. Factors Concerning Our Business We have incurred losses since our inception. We incurred net losses of $290,447 and $1,507,618 for the 2nd quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. As of June 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,496,882. We expect to incur significant operating expenses over the next several years in connection with the continued development and expansion of our business. Our expenses include product development and marketing expenses relating to products that will not be introduced and will not generate revenue until later periods, if at all. We expect we will continue to experience losses and negative cash flow, some of which could be significant. Results of operations will depend upon numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including market acceptance of our products, new product introductions and competition. Our limited operating history and the rapidly evolving nature of our industry make it difficult to forecast our future results. Prior to 2003, our operations consisted primarily of research and development efforts. As a result of our limited operating history, our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. In addition, any evaluation of our business and prospects must be made in light of the risks and difficulties encountered by companies offering products or services in new and rapidly evolving markets. The markets for digital display devices, thermocouples, armor plating and security oriented software are rapidly evolving, and it is difficult to forecast the future growth rate, if any, or size of the market for our products. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which would harm our operating results. Our business may be substantially hurt if we are unable to meet our future capital requirements. Our business strategy requires substantial capital to market and promote our product lines. We plan to implement our aggressive sales and marketing plan, provide for adequate working capital to meet the projected demand for our products and repay debt over the next twelve months. To do this, we will require approximately $15 million to meet our goals and advance our technologies, all of which we anticipate will come from offerings of our securities through several instruments. Any inability or delay in raising capital is likely to leave us with insufficient cash to meet the requirements of our aggressive budget and impede -20- our ability to pursue our business plan. In addition, development opportunities and other contingencies may arise, which could require additional capital. Any inability to obtain required future financing would likely have a materially adverse effect on our business and could require that we significantly reduce or suspend our operations, seek a merger partner or sell some or substantially all of our assets. We presently have no arrangements or understandings with any prospective merger partner or prospective purchaser of our assets. If we issue additional stock to raise capital, your percentage ownership in us would be reduced. Additional financing may not be available when needed on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we raise funds through debt financing, we will have to pay interest and may be subject to restrictive covenants. If we cannot raise necessary additional capital on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated industry changes. We depend substantially on our relationships with a small number of OEMs, and our failure to maintain or expand these relationships would reduce our revenue and gross profit or otherwise harm our business. Specific to Alysium Corporation, we anticipate that we will derive a substantial portion of our revenue from the sale of our products to the small number of OEM customers we currently serve. While in the long term a substantial portion of our revenue is projected to be from the thermocouple and defense market, we expect that our current OEM customers will continue to account for a consistent flow of revenue and a small portion of our gross profit for the foreseeable future. Our specialty motors and drives distribution has been consistent and is need of additional financing to meet customer demands and maintain specific inventory numbers. The loss of any of these customers, or a material decrease in revenue from these customers, would reduce our gross profit or otherwise harm our business. As a result of our dependency on a small number of OEMs, any problems those customers experience could harm our operating results. Some of the factors that affect the business of our OEM customers, all of which are beyond our control, include: o the competition these customers face and the market acceptance of their products: o the engineering, marketing and management capabilities of these customers and the technical challenges that they face in developing their products; o the financial and other resources of these customers; and o new governmental regulations or changes in taxes or tariffs applicable to these customers. The inability of our OEM customers to successfully address any of these risks could harm our business. -21- We are dependent on our suppliers, and the inability of these suppliers to continue to deliver, or the refusal to deliver our products could significantly harm our business. We do not have agreements with any of our third party Asian suppliers requiring them to continue to manufacture our Optipure Products. In this competitive market alternative sources are available but may require up to 30 days-to-initiate delivery of our product lines. This delay would adversely affect our ability to meet promised demand for our products and harm our business. Competition in our industry is intense and is likely to continue to increase, which could result in price reductions, decreased customer orders, reduced product margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our business. Our industry is competitive and we expect competition to intensify in the future. We have many primary competitors located in the United States and globally in the display and thermocouple industries. Additional competitors are likely to enter our industry in the future. Many of our current competitors and potential competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources and in some cases greater name recognition than we do. As a result, these competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products. In addition, our competitors that have large market capitalizations or cash reserves are in a better position to acquire other companies in order to gain new technologies or products that may displace our products. Any of these potential acquisitions could give our competitors a strategic advantage. In addition, some of our current competitors and potential competitors have greater brand name recognition, a more extensive customer base, more developed distribution channels and broader product offerings than we do. These companies can use their broader customer base and product offerings, or adopt aggressive pricing policies, to gain market share. Increased competition in the market may result in price reductions, decreased customer orders, reduced profit margins and loss of market share, any of which could harm our business. The market for our thermocouples, specialty motors and drives and consumer electronics is constantly changing. If we do not respond to changes in a timely manner, the market for our products could decrease. The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing trends and technological advancements, new and improved product introductions, changes in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. Our future success will depend to a substantial extent on our ability to develop, introduce and support cost-effective new products and technologies on a timely basis, hence our continued focus on research and development. If we fail to develop and deploy new cost-effective products and technologies or enhancements of existing products on a timely basis, or if we experience delays in the development, introduction or enhancement of our products and technologies, the market for our products could decrease and our business will suffer. -22- The development of new, technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation and highly skilled engineering and development personnel, as well as the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. We may not be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market or support new or enhanced products on a timely basis, if at all. Furthermore, our new products may never gain market acceptance, and we may not be able to respond effectively to product announcements by competitors, technological changes or emerging industry standards. Our failure to respond to product announcements, technological changes or changes in industry standards would likely prevent our products from gaining market acceptance and harm our business. If we do not successfully establish strong brand identity in the markets we are currently serving, we may be unable to achieve widespread acceptance of our products. We believe that establishing and strengthening both of our subsidiaries' products is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our future products and to establishing key strategic relationships. The importance of brand recognition will increase as current and potential competitors enter the market with competing products. Our ability to promote and position our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide high quality products and customer support. These activities are expensive and we may not generate a corresponding increase in customers or revenue to justify these costs. If we fail to establish and maintain our brand, or if our brand value is damaged or diluted, we may be unable to attract new customers and compete effectively. We rely on patents, trademarks, trade secrets and confidentiality agreements to protect our proprietary rights, which afford only limited protection. Our success depends upon our ability to protect our proprietary rights. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and others to establish and protect our proprietary rights. The protection of patentable inventions is important to our future opportunities. It is possible that: o our pending patent applications may not result in the issuance of patents; o we may not apply for or obtain effective patent protection in every country in which we do business; o our patents may not be broad enough to protect our proprietary rights; o any issued patent could be successfully challenged by one or more third parties, which could result in our loss of the right to prevent others from using the inventions claimed in those patents; and o current and future competitors may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products or design new products in a way that circumvents our patents. -23- Existing trademark and trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements afford only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, and policing the unauthorized use of our products is difficult. Any failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of our competitive advantage and a decrease in our revenue. Infringement claims and lawsuits would likely be expensive to resolve and would require management's time and resources and, therefore, could harm our business. Our success depends on retaining our key personnel, including M.J. Shaheed, our President and Chief Executive Officer, the loss of whom could disrupt our operations or otherwise harm our business. Our success depends on the continued contributions of our senior management, particularly M.J. Shaheed, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and other key engineering, sales and marketing and operations personnel. Competition for employees in our industry can be intense. We have employment agreements with three executives, but do not have key man life insurance policies covering any of our executives. In addition, all of the capital stock and options held by the members of our management are vested. There can be no assurance that we will retain our key employees or be able to hire replacements. Our loss of any key employee or an inability to replace lost key employees and add new key employees as we grow could disrupt our operations or otherwise harm our business. Our international sales will likely account for a significant amount of our revenue in the future, which may expose us to political, regulatory, economic, foreign exchange and operational risks. Because we intend to sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Significant management attention and financial resources are needed to develop our international sales, support and distribution channels and manufacturing. Our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors related to international operations, including: o foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; o seasonal fluctuations in sales; o changes in a specific country's or region's political or economic condition, particularly in emerging markets; o unusual or burdensome foreign laws or regulatory requirements or unexpected changes to those laws or requirements; o trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements, o potentially adverse tax consequences; o longer accounts receivable collection cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivables; o difficulty in managing widespread sales, development and manufacturing operations; and o less effective protection of intellectual property. -24- In the future, some or all of our international revenue and expenses may be denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, we could experience the risks of fluctuating currencies and may choose to engage in currency hedging activities. In addition, if we conduct sales in local currencies, we may engage in hedging activities, which may not be successful and could expose us to additional risks. Our business may continue to be affected by our substantial debt and restrictions under debt covenants. We have a significant amount of debt. Our debt service obligations could have material adverse consequences to our security holders. As of June 30, 2004, we are in default of several outstanding loans and services and have approximately $1.8 million of debt, including various accounts receivables and approximately $ 1.6 million of secured debt owed to various parties including but not limited to; Blakemore, Meeker and Bowler, Brouse McDowell, LLP, James Coco, Just the Two of US, GATO Corp, Tom Paige and William Scala. The level of our indebtedness could have important consequences to us and our stockholders including, but not limited to, the following: o our ability to obtain additional financing in the future may be impaired; o a significant portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available to us for our operations; o we may be substantially more leveraged than certain of our competitors, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage; and o our substantial debt may limit our flexibility to adjust to changing market conditions, reduce our ability to withstand competitive pressures and make us more vulnerable to a downturn in general economic conditions or our business. Our ability to make scheduled payments and comply with our debt covenants or to refinance our debt obligations will depend upon our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors which are beyond our control. Cash flow from operations and other capital resources may not be sufficient for payment of our debt in the future. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. If we are unable to pay our debt, we may be required to take actions such as reducing or delaying planned expansion and capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness or seeking additional equity capital. We cannot predict whether any of these actions could be affected on satisfactory terms, if at all. We have implemented anti-takeover provisions that could discourage a third party from acquiring us and consequently decrease the market value of your investment. -25- Our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management that a stockholder might consider favorable. Our Certificate of Inception and bylaws, provide for a classified board of directors, allow our board to designate "blank check" preferred stock, and limit who may call special meetings of stockholders. These provisions may delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in management could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Future sales of common stock or senior securities could adversely affect our common stock price and dilute your interest. We may issue additional capital stock in future financing. If a trading market for our common stock were to develop, sales of substantial amounts of such shares of common stock or the availability of substantial amounts of such shares for sale could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. In addition, we could issue other series or classes of preferred stock having rights, preferences and powers senior to those of our common stock, including the right to receive dividends and preferences upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up in excess of, or prior to, the rights of the holders of our common stock. This could reduce or eliminate the amounts that would otherwise have been available to pay dividends on the common stock. Because our executive officers' and directors' liabilities are limited, your rights against them in a civil lawsuit may be limited. We will indemnify any executive officer, director or former executive officer or director, and may indemnify any other officer or employee, to the full extent permitted by Nevada law. This could include indemnification for liabilities under securities laws enacted for stockholder protection, though the SEC thinks this indemnification is against public policy. M.J. Shaheed, our President and Chief Executive Officer, owns a significant portion of our outstanding common and preferred stock and his interests may be different from, and conflict with, your own. The interests of our management could conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. M.J. Shaheed, our President and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns a percentage of our outstanding common stock and 71% of our preferred stock convertible at a rate of 25 to 1 to common shares and 50% of our preferred stock convertible at a rate of 200 to 1 common shares. Accordingly, Mr. Shaheed has the power to influence the election of our directors and the approval of actions for which the approval of our stockholders is required. We do not expect to pay dividends. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We presently intend to reinvest our cash back into the company rather than paying dividends to our common stockholders. As a result, your ability to realize any -26- return on your investment in our common stock will likely result only from your sale of some or all of your shares. The issuance of additional shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of the outstanding notes and preferred stock and the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, will dilute the interests of our stockholders. As of June 25, 2004, we had 659,510,898 shares of our common stock outstanding. Our board has the ability, without further stockholder approval, to issue up to approximately 1,310,489,102 million additional shares of common stock. Such issuance may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of our outstanding common shares. Issuance of additional common stock will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of the then existing stockholders. Thus, the percentage of shares owned by all existing stockholders will be reduced proportionately as options and warrants are exercised and convertible notes are converted. Our board of directors, without seeking stockholder approval, may designate and issue up to 21,682,500 shares of preferred stock Class A and up to 8,500,000 shares of preferred stock Class B, and the sale of such shares may adversely impact the market price of shares of common stock. Our Certificate of Incorporation allows our board of directors to issue at any time without further stockholder approval up to 40,000,000 shares of combined preferred stock, classes A & B. Such shares may be issued and sold upon such terms and conditions as our board of directors may determine, including the amount of consideration for which the shares may be issued and sold in one or more series, and such voting rights, designations, preferences and other rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as our board of directors may determine and as registered in a certificate of designation filed with The Secretary of State, State of Nevada. We have designated 30,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the rights, privileges and preferences of which are described under "Description of Securities - Preferred Stock - Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock". There are currently issued and outstanding 8,317,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, convertible at a rate of 25:1 into the Company's common stock. We may issue up to an additional 21,682,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the future. There are currently issued and outstanding 1,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, convertible at a rate of 200:1 into Company's common stock. We may issue up to an additional 8,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the future. Sales of a substantial number of shares of preferred stock, or the fact that our board of directors may determine the rights, privileges and preferences of one or more classes or series of preferred stock, may discourage a future acquisition of our company, including an acquisition in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. As a result, stockholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so. -27- ITEM 3. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS During the second quarter of 2004, with a recommendation of the board of directors, a Certificate of Designation was filed with The Secretary of State, State of Nevada, determining and specifying the rights of a Series B preferred stock. The Series A preferred stock was divided and all rights and privileges were outlined in the filed document; including but not limited to the ability for all shareholders of common and preferred stock to receive notification and vote, together, as one class. The Company prepared and on July 20, 2004, filed with the SEC, an information statement with no requirement of vote to the shareholders, making notification of an authorization by majority shareholders of an increase in the number of shares of common stock to 2,000,000,000 shares. The paperwork was filed and accepted by the State of Nevada in June 2004. ITEM 4. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Currently there are several convertible debentures that have matured. There is currently approximately $ 1.6 million of secured debt owed to various parties including but not limited to; Blakemore, Meeker and Bowler, Brouse McDowell, LLP, James Coco, Just the Two of US, GATO Corp, Tom Paige and William Scala. ITEM 5. SUBMISSION OF MATTER TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, however, a 14C Information Statement with no requirement of vote to the shareholders, making notification of an authorization by majority shareholders of an increase in the number of shares of common stock to 2,000,000,000 shares was prepared and filed on July 20, 2004. The paperwork was filed and accepted by the State of Nevada in June 2004. ITEM 6.
