OUR COMPANY
We were organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 22,
2001 under the name Pacific InterMedia, Inc. We originally were engaged in the
business of offering EDGAR filing services to companies outsourcing the
formatting and electronic filing of registration statements, periodic reports
and other forms with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or
"Commission"), but generated minimal revenues from these operations.
On October 17, 2003, we completed a business combination transaction with
Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., a California corporation ("Raptor"). We
acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Raptor in a cashless
common stock share-for-share exchange in which Raptor became our wholly-owned
subsidiary. With completion of the acquisition transaction, we changed our name
to Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., terminated our EDGAR filing services
operations and, by and through our subsidiary Raptor, became engaged in the data
network switching industry, including the design, production, sales and service
of standards-based and proprietary high-speed switching technology.
We have designed a series of related products branded the Ether-Raptor
line, which consists of a modular set of Ethernet switching components based on
a common set of proprietary hardware and software modules which can be produced
with line cards from base units. We believe that our Ether-Raptor family of
products have nearly universal application to a user's internetworking
requirements and can be utilized anywhere on an ethernet network where an
advanced switch is required. Our first product, the ER-1010, enables an entire
network to be architected from common, high performance building blocks. The
patent-pending scalable switch architecture of the ER-1010 reduces inter-network
disconnects and moves data at very high speeds. This topology improves
redundancy, keeps latency low, engenders wirespeed performance, has simple
management, is scalable and is priced lower than chassis-based alternatives. In
March 2008, we made available an advanced version of the ER-1010, the ER-1010E,
which offers increased CPU speed and memory (1GHz and 1GB, respectively) and
improved user interface.
We believe the unique features of our products can best be summarized as
follows:
o we were first to market with "distributed common core fabric," a
network switch technology that eliminates dependency on complex and
costly chassis products;
o our simplified architectures improve redundancy and resiliency;
-1-
o the reduced complexity, tighter hardware integration, and common
components (including common software components) of our products
provides users the opportunity for economies of scale and reduced
costs;
o the open standards of our products provide for compatibility with
legacy products;
o our products' low transport latency can support emerging converged
video, voice and data applications without sacrificing
Quality-of-Service; and
o the Layer 2-7 Classification of our products provides full feature
sets across a user's network.
We remain an early stage technology company, have realized minimal
revenues and, since our inception, have operated at a significant loss. We
currently have no commitments for any additional financing and there can be no
assurance that we will be able to obtain requisite financing on acceptable
terms, if at all. If we do not experience a significant increase in revenues
through October 2008 or sooner, structural changes to our business model that
have been under consideration (and previously disclosed in our public filings),
including but not limited to strategic partnerships, joint ventures,
intellectual property collaboration, and shifting from an operating to a
licensing model may become necessary to continue our operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to consummate such a business transition and/or a
shift in business model successfully, if at all, and should we be unable to do
so, our investors could lose their entire investment in us.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Distributed computing and accelerating use of the Internet for information
access as well as communication have driven an exponential expansion in the use
of internetworking for more than thirty years. Most of today's networks were
engineered based upon standards and technology optimized for handling a single
data type - character data, which was previously the prevalent form of data.
However, today's sophisticated applications often require multiple data types
with speed and bandwidth requirements so high that prevailing network technology
is simply not up to the task. Often times the system upgrades required to
support these new applications is not cost justifiable, thereby slowing the rate
of adoption and utilization of advanced network applications.
New applications such as video on demand, remote synchronous data storage
mirroring, global server clustering, business continuity, disaster recovery and
distance collaboration are just a few of the high-bandwidth network applications
that can have great value to an enterprise embracing them. However, the cost to
replace or upgrade existing networks with the requisite efficient,
high-bandwidth infrastructure to support these new applications is, in many
cases, financially prohibitive. For example, a typical chassis-based upgrade,
the type of which is offered by some of our competitors, involves replacing the
power supplies, management units, backplane, fan trays and interconnect blades
in the unit being upgraded. It is not unusual for the upgrade to cost as much or
more than the original machine.
OUR STRATEGY
Our answer to the cost barrier to the adoption of high-bandwidth (full 10
Gigabit) networking is the introduction of next-generation networking products
that are fundamentally less complex, more architecturally flexible, compatible
with legacy products, and faster than traditional chassis-based alternatives.
The core philosophy underlying our technological approach is to strive to
do at Layer 2 (the Data Link Layer) in hardware what traditional network switch
architectures require Layer 3 protocols (the Network Layer) in software to
achieve. Our "distributed switch fabric" approach provides a means to achieve
seamless and coherent peer-to-peer communication between physically separated
switches at Layer 2. The result is, effectively, a single network switch
consisting of a cluster of standalone, high-performance blades physically
separated from one another by currently up to 120 kilometers per hop (in line
with what optics technology allows; this distance can be increased using lighted
fiber). This flexibility permits the use of unique network topologies that allow
for highly-robust, super-redundant networks to be designed and implemented that
provide data transport at wire-speed (the maximum speed at which the equipment
is built to operate) with the versatility to run the new latency-sensitive data
applications (such as VoIP or streaming video) at a cost-effective price without
sacrificing quality.
-2-
The ultimate goal in networking is to maximize effective transport
bandwidth without sacrificing quality. In our architecture, Quality-of-Service
is maintained by providing for intelligent management of the different data
types traveling from the same source to the same destination. Latency variations
caused by heavy traffic can be devastating to certain data types and
applications. In traditional centralized architectures, latency problems are
resolved with the costly deployment of dedicated parallel networks, increasing
system complexity and hampering system scalability. Our technology optimizes the
handling of all data packets on a single, common network by monitoring and
differentiating between data types and adjusting transport parameters
accordingly, thus assuring low latency on common transport paths.
Our proprietary Raptor Adaptive Switch Technology ("RAST") provides an
innovative new way to connect local and wide area networks, allowing users new
options in the way they design their distribution networks. RAST allows discrete
network elements, separated in distance by more than 1,000 kilometers, to "bind"
into a common "virtual switch," providing for ultra-fast Layer 2 transport
across those distances. Compatible with existing open standards legacy products,
RAST allows customers to add significant capability to converge voice, video,
and all data types on to their existing network without the need for expensive,
end-to-end upgrades. RAST also allows highly-resilient networks to be created at
lower costs, both in terms of initial capital expenditure and ongoing operating
costs, than traditional legacy chassis-based systems. Because RAST allows
virtually any network size and topology to be engineered from our common
"building block" switches, the cost of adoption, as well as the cost of support,
is minimized.
One of the most difficult data types for networks to handle is VoIP. By
optimizing the handling of all data packet types on a given network, treating
them as though they were all video data, our architecture enables the
construction of true wire-speed networks and achieves multiple objectives for
the user community. First, it allows for voice, video, storage, and other
sophisticated applications that can improve operations and establish new revenue
streams. Second, it augments, rather than replaces, the existing internetworking
infrastructure already in place, leveraging the user's existing capital
investment and minimizing the incremental capital outlay required to support
these new applications.
We have filed patents with respect to both distributed fabric over long
range distances and for certain security features of our products. We believe
the combination of these pending patents gives us a strong competitive advantage
because of the added level of security these technologies provide to our
products. Users increasingly require high security for their distributed
networks and our products provide additional security because of both the
patented distributed fabric technology and the additional security features now
submitted for a patent.

RISK FACTORS
AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IN
ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE DECIDING TO INVEST IN SHARES OF OUR
COMMON STOCK. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCURS, IT IS LIKELY THAT
OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS WOULD BE HARMED. AS A
RESULT, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE, AND YOU COULD LOSE
PART OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE ISSUED A REPORT QUESTIONING OUR ABILITY TO
CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN. THIS REPORT MAY IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO RAISE
ADDITIONAL FINANCING AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Our independent auditors have qualified their opinion with respect to
our financial statements to include an explanatory paragraph related to our
ability to continue as a going concern in their reports for each of our fiscal
years ended December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2007. Reports of independent
auditors questioning a company's ability to continue as a going concern
generally are viewed very unfavorably by analysts and investors. There are a
number of risks and challenges associated with such a qualified report
including, but not limited to, a significant impediment to our ability to raise
additional capital or seek financing from entities that will not conduct such
transactions in the face of such increased level of risk of insolvency and loss,
increased difficulty in attracting talent, and the diversion of the attention of
our executive officers and other key employees to raising capital or financing
rather than devoting time to the day-to-day operations of our business. We urge
potential investors to review the report of our independent registered public
accounting firm and our consolidated financial statements and related notes
beginning on page F-1 of this prospectus and to seek independent advice
concerning the substantial risks related thereto before making a decision to
invest in us. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial
statements and financial information included in this prospectus do not reflect
any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going
concern. We currently have no commitments for any additional financing and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain requisite financing on
acceptable terms, if at all. If we do not experience a significant increase in
revenues through October 2008 or sooner, structural changes to our business
model that have been under consideration (and previously disclosed in our public
filings), including but not limited to strategic partnerships, joint ventures,
intellectual property collaboration, and shifting from an operating to a
licensing model may become necessary to continue our operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to consummate such a business transition and/or a
shift in business model successfully, if at all, and should we be unable to do
so, our investors could lose their entire investment in us.
OUR SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATED DEFICIT, LIMITED WORKING CAPITAL AND EXPECTATION
OF FUTURE LOSSES MAY REQUIRE THAT WE OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO CONTINUE
OPERATIONS, WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SECURE ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS, IF AT ALL.
We are an early stage company and have had no significant revenues from
operations to date. As of June 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of
$89,435,877. We have operated at a loss since our inception and expect to
continue to experience losses from our operations for the foreseeable future.
Our net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008, were $19,237,555 and our
net losses for fiscal 2007 and 2006 were $9,509,247 and $19,078,578,
respectively. We will be required to conduct product feature enhancement and
testing activities which, together with expenses to be incurred for the
establishment of a sustainable marketing and sales presence and other general
and administrative expenses, are expected to result in operating losses through
the foreseeable future. Accordingly, there is a risk that we will not achieve
profitable operations in the near future, if at all.
Our management has attempted and continues to attempt to address these
conditions by obtaining additional debt and equity financing to fund our
continuing operations. In July 2007, we raised gross proceeds of $3.5 million
through a senior secured convertible note financing. In April 2008, we raised an
additional $3.125 million in gross proceeds from additional convertible note
financings with the same investors. In July 2008, we raised an additional $1.25
million to fund our operations as we continue to pursue sources of revenue and
in early August 2008 we executed a 30% reduction in full-time equivalent
headcount to reduce expense levels.
-6-
We currently have no commitments for any additional financing and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain requisite financing on
acceptable terms, if at all. If we do not experience a significant increase in
revenues through October 2008 or sooner, structural changes to our business
model that have been under consideration (and previously disclosed in our public
filings), including but not limited to strategic partnerships, joint ventures,
intellectual property collaboration, and shifting from an operating to a
licensing model may become necessary to continue our operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to consummate such a business transition and/or a
shift in business model successfully, if at all, and should we be unable to do
so, our investors could lose their entire investment in us.
The terms of our 2006, 2007 and 2008 convertible note financings
subject us to financial and other covenants that significantly restrict our
flexibility to conduct future securities offerings and incur debt. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to obtain requisite financing on acceptable
terms, if at all. Should we be unable to raise additional capital, our investors
could lose their entire investment. Moreover, in the event we raise additional
funds through the sale of shares of our common stock or other interests in us,
our investors may experience significant dilution of their equity invested in
us.
IF WE DEFAULT UNDER OUR SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES, WE COULD LOSE ALL OF
OUR ASSETS.
Pursuant to our July 2007, April 2008 and July 2008 senior secured
convertible note financings, we granted the investors a security interest in all
of our assets. If we default on our obligations relating to these notes, the
investors could foreclose on all of our assets, both tangible and intangible,
leaving us with no assets.
WE HAVE NO PROFITABLE OPERATING HISTORY AND MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
We are an early stage company and have a limited history of operations and
have not generated meaningful revenues from operations since our inception. We
are faced with all of the risks associated with a company in the early stages of
development. Our business is subject to numerous risks associated with a
relatively new, low-capitalized company engaged in the network switch industry.
Such risks include, but are not limited to, competition from well-established
and well-capitalized companies, technological obsolescence and unanticipated
difficulties regarding the development and marketing of our products. There can
be no assurance that we will ever generate significant commercial sales or
achieve profitability. Should this be the case, investors in our common stock or
other securities could lose their entire investment.
WE DO NOT PRESENTLY HAVE A TRADITIONAL CREDIT FACILITY WITH A FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION. THIS ABSENCE MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS.
We do not presently have a traditional credit facility with a financial
institution. The absence of a traditional credit facility could adversely impact
our operations. If adequate funds are not otherwise available, we may be
required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations and
product development efforts. In addition, the terms of our senior convertible
note financings subject us to certain covenants that prohibit us from borrowing
additional funds unless certain conditions are satisfied, including, but not
limited to, the closing price of our common stock being greater than $1.00 per
share for 40 consecutive trading days or the aggregate dollar trading volume of
our common stock being greater than $200,000 per day for 40 consecutive trading
days. Further, the terms of our July 2007, April 2008 and July 2008 senior
secured convertible note financings provide that, while the notes are
outstanding, we will not conduct any other securities offerings or be party to
any solicitations, negotiations or discussions regarding any other securities
offerings, except for offerings solely to one or more of the investors.
-7-
OUR LEVEL OF INDEBTEDNESS REDUCES OUR FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY,
AND OUR LEVEL OF INDEBTEDNESS MAY INCREASE.
As of July 31, 2008, the principal amount of our total indebtedness under
promissory notes was $13,801,222. Our level of indebtedness affects our
operations in several ways, including the following:
o A significant portion of our cash flow may be required to service
our indebtedness;
o A high level of debt increases our vulnerability to general adverse
economic and industry conditions;
o The covenants contained in the agreements governing our outstanding
indebtedness significantly limit our ability to borrow additional
funds, dispose of assets, pay dividends, sell common stock and make
certain investments;
o Our debt covenants may also affect our flexibility in planning for,
and reacting to, changes in the economy or in our industry;
o A high level of debt may impair our ability to obtain additional
financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions or general corporate purposes; and
o A default under our debt covenants could result in required
principal payments that we may not be able to meet, resulting in
higher penalty interest rates, debt maturity acceleration and/or
foreclosure on our assets.
We may incur additional debt, including significant secured indebtedness,
in order to fund our continuing operations or to develop and/or improve our
products. A higher level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may default
on our debt obligations. Our ability to meet our debt obligations and to reduce
our level of indebtedness depends on our future performance. General and
industry specific economic, financial and business conditions and other factors
affect our operations and our future performance. Many of these factors are
beyond our control. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to
fulfill our interest or principal payment obligations on our debt and future
working capital, borrowings or equity financing may not be available to pay or
refinance such debt.
THERE IS A RISK THAT THERE MAY BE PROCEDURAL ISSUES RELATED TO OUR ACQUISITION
OF RAPTOR NETWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC., A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, WHICH COULD
HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We were organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 22,
2001 under the name Pacific InterMedia, Inc. On October 17, 2003, we completed a
transaction with Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., a California corporation
("Raptor"), whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of Raptor in a cashless common stock share-for-share exchange in which Raptor
became our wholly-owned subsidiary. With the completion of the acquisition
transaction, we changed our name to Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., terminated
our previous operations (consisting of the "EDGARization" of SEC securities
filings) and, by and through our subsidiary Raptor, became engaged in the data
network switching industry. After the transaction, our Board of Directors
engaged new management to, among other things, review our operating and legal
status.
As a result of management's review of our historical corporate records, it
appears that certain material documents and approvals regarding the transaction
were not properly retained. Furthermore, it appears that, from a review of the
records available to us, certain procedural irregularities may exist regarding
the structure and approval of the acquisition transaction under applicable law.
After a review of available documents and records relating to the acquisition
transaction, Colorado counsel engaged by us has determined that the shares
issued in the transaction were lawfully issued. However, there is a risk, given
the lack of complete records regarding the transaction, that the acquisition was
not properly structured or approved. The inability to resolve such deficiencies,
should such deficiencies exist, could have a material adverse effect on our
-8-
business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, there is a
risk that we may be subject to currently unknown liabilities resulting from our
operations, or the operations of Raptor, prior to the acquisition transaction.
Should a claimed liability arise, we could expend significant time and resources
defending or satisfying such claim, including, without limitation, the amount of
any judgment or settlement required to satisfy any such claim and the payment of
attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in defending any such claim.
EVALUATION OF INTERNAL CONTROL AND REMEDIATION OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS MAY BE
COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING AND COULD EXPOSE WEAKNESSES IN FINANCIAL REPORTING.
Our independent auditors will be required to confirm in writing whether
management's assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control over
financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects, and separately
report on whether they believe management maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.
This process may be expensive and time consuming, and may require
significant attention of management. Management can give no assurance that
material weaknesses in internal controls will not be discovered. If a material
weakness is discovered, corrective action may be time consuming, costly and
further divert the attention of management. The disclosure of a material
weakness, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in our
financial statements and harm our stock price, especially if a restatement of
financial statements for past periods is required.
OUR INABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE MARKET PENETRATION COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
No assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully achieve
sustainable market penetration with any of our products. Our success in
marketing our products will be substantially dependent on educating our targeted
markets as to the unique topologies, as well as what we believe are the
performance and cost benefits, of our distributed Ethernet switch architecture.
There can be no assurance that our efforts or the efforts of others will be
successful in fostering acceptance of our technology among the targeted markets.
MANY COMPANIES WITH GREATER RESOURCES AND OPERATING EXPERIENCE OFFER
TECHNOLOGY SIMILAR TO OUR PRODUCTS. THESE COMPANIES COULD SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE
WITH US AND NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY.
We operate in a competitive industry with many established and
well-recognized competitors. In particular, Cisco Systems maintains a dominant
position in our industry and several of its products compete directly with our
products. We also compete with Extreme Networks, Juniper Networks, Nortel
Networks, Enterasys Networks, 3Com, Huawei Technologies, Force 10 Networks, and
Alcatel, among others. Most of our competitors (including all of the competitors
referenced above) have substantially greater market leverage, distribution
networks, and vendor relationships, longer operating histories and industry
experience, greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources,
more name recognition and larger installed customer bases than we do and can be
expected to react strongly to our marketing efforts. In addition, many
competitors exist who, because of their substantial resources, distribution
relationships and customer base, could temporarily drop prices to stave off a
potential successful market launch by us. Other competitive responses might
include, without limitation, intense and aggressive price competition and offers
of employment to our key marketing or management personnel. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition from
existing or new competitors, or that competition will not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
-9-
OUR MARKETING EFFORTS HAVE YIELDED NEGLIGIBLE REVENUES AND THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT OUR FUTURE MARKETING EFFORTS WILL LEAD TO SALES OF OUR
PRODUCTS.
Our marketing efforts have yielded negligible revenues and we believe we
will have to significantly expand our sales and marketing capabilities in order
to establish sufficient awareness to launch broader sales of our products and
support services. There can be no assurance that we will be able to expand our
sales and marketing efforts to the extent we believe necessary or that any such
efforts, if undertaken, will be successful in achieving substantial sales of our
products or support services.
THE INDUSTRY OF NETWORK SWITCH PRODUCTS IS SUBJECT TO RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL
CHANGE. OUR PRODUCTS COULD BECOME OBSOLETE AT ANY TIME AND OUR LIMITED CAPITAL
PROHIBITS US FROM DEVOTING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT.
Evolving technology, updated industry standards, and frequent new product
and service introductions characterize the network switching market. Our current
products could become obsolete at any time. Competitors could develop products
similar to or better than ours, finish development before us, or market their
products more successfully than ours, any of which could hinder our potential
success. In order to be competitive, we must continue to develop and bring to
market new products that offer substantially greater performance and support a
greater number of users, all at lower price points than our competitors. Our
future success depends in significant part on our ability to evolve the
performance and software of our existing products and develop and introduce new
products and technologies in response to the evolving demands of the market and
competitive product offerings. However, unless we are able to raise additional
capital or significantly increase revenues, we will not be able to devote a
significant amount of resources to research and development, which could
increase the likelihood that our current products become obsolete and prevent us
from developing new products to keep up with the industry's rapid technological
advancements.
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT PROPRIETARY RIGHTS ARE MATERIAL TO OUR SUCCESS,
MISAPPROPRIATION OF THOSE RIGHTS OR CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OR LEGAL ACTIONS
RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR FINANCIAL
CONDITION.
Our success is dependent on our ability to protect our proprietary
technology. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized
parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or
technology. Monitoring unauthorized use of our technology is difficult, and we
cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of
our technology, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect
our proprietary rights as fully as in the U.S. We currently have patent-pending
protection for our proprietary technology and plan to rely on non-disclosure
agreements to further protect this technology. There can be no assurance that
these patents will be granted or that nondisclosure agreements will provide us
meaningful protection.
In addition, the network industry is subject to frequent claims and
related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In
particular, some companies in the network industry claim extensive patent
portfolios. As a result of the existence of a large number of existing patents
and the rate of issuance of new patents in the network industry, it is extremely
difficult to determine in advance whether a product or any of its components may
infringe upon the intellectual property rights claimed by others. Third parties
may in the future assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual
property rights claims against us with respect to existing or future products or
technology. Regardless of the merits of our position, we may incur substantial
legal fees and related costs defending against third party claims, in addition
to monetary damages that may be assessed against us. If there is a successful
claim of infringement and we fail or are unable to develop non-infringing
technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, our
business and results of operations may be seriously harmed.
-10-
WE RELY HEAVILY ON OUR MANAGEMENT AND OTHER KEY PERSONNEL, AND THE LOSS OF
THEIR SERVICES (OR OUR INABILITY TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL QUALIFIED
EMPLOYEES) COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Our future success depends to a significant degree on the continued
service of our key personnel and on our ability to attract, motivate and retain
highly qualified employees. In particular, we are dependent upon the services of
our senior management, including, without limitation: Chief Executive Officer
and President, Thomas M. Wittenschlaeger; and Chief Financial Officer and
Secretary, Bob van Leyen. The loss of the services of our senior management or
other key employees would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, there are a number of other key management, sales and support
positions (including many for which individuals have not yet been hired) the
loss of which (or the inability to recruit and retain) would have a material
adverse effect on our business. If we experience the growth we hope to achieve,
our ability to operate successfully during periods of growth (if any) will
depend on our ability to attract and retain managers and develop adequate
systems and procedures to manage such growth. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to attract and retain additional key management personnel with the
skills and expertise necessary to manage our business should any such period of
growth occur.
OUR BUSINESS COULD SUFFER IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN COMPONENTS, SOFTWARE AND
SERVICES FROM OUTSIDE SUPPLIERS AND VENDORS.
Our products are architected and manufactured through the use of
third-party electronic components, device level software and services. We are
highly dependent on the services and products of these other companies. A
discontinuance, disruption or other similar occurrence to the components,
software or services supplied by our vendors and suppliers could materially
diminish our ability to operate efficiently.
We acquire components through purchase orders and have no long-term
commitments regarding supply or pricing from these suppliers. We depend on
anticipated product orders to determine our material requirements. If orders for
our products do not match forecasts, or if we do not manage inventory
effectively, we may have either excess or insufficient inventory of materials
and components, which could negatively affect our operating results and
financial condition.
OUR RELIANCE ON THIRD-PARTY MANUFACTURING VENDORS TO MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS
MAY CAUSE A DELAY IN OUR ABILITY TO FILL ORDERS.
We subcontract a significant amount of our manufacturing to one
third-party manufacturer and may in the future subcontract with other
third-party manufacturers. In addition, some Company-branded products are
manufactured by third-party original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). We may
experience delays in product manufacturing and shipments from our manufacturers,
which in turn could delay product shipments to our customers. In addition, we
may experience problems such as inferior manufacturing quality or failure to
manufacture products according to specifications, any of which could have a
material adverse effect on our business and operating results. In the event we
introduce new products or product enhancements, we may be required to rapidly
achieve volume production by coordinating our efforts with suppliers and
manufacturers. The inability of our manufacturers or OEMs to provide us with
adequate supplies of high-quality products, the loss of any of our third-party
manufacturers, or the inability to obtain components and raw materials could
cause a delay in our ability to fulfill orders.
-11-
THE AVERAGE SELLING PRICES OF OUR PRODUCTS, AND OUR GROSS MARGINS RESULTING
FROM THE SALE OF SUCH PRODUCTS, MAY DECLINE AS A RESULT OF COMPETITIVE
PRESSURES, INDUSTRY TRENDS AND OTHER FACTORS.
The network industry has experienced an erosion of the average product
selling prices due to a number of factors, particularly competitive and
macroeconomic pressures and rapid technological advancements. Our competitors
have and will likely continue to lower sales prices from time to time in order
to gain market share or create more demand. We may have to reduce the sales
prices of our products in response to such intense pricing competition, which
could cause our gross margins to decline and may adversely affect our business,
operating results and financial condition. Our gross margins could also be
adversely affected if we are unable to reduce manufacturing costs and
effectively manage our inventory levels or by fluctuations in manufacturing
volumes, component costs, the mix of products sold and the mix of distribution
channels through which our products are sold.
IF OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN DEFECTS OR ERRORS, WE COULD INCUR SUDDEN AND
SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES AND LOST SALES AND BE SUBJECT TO PRODUCT LIABILITY
CLAIMS.
Our products are complex and may contain undetected defects or errors,
particularly when first introduced or as new enhancements and versions are
released. Despite our testing procedures, these defects and errors may be
discovered after they have been shipped to customers. Any defects or errors in
our products or failures of our customers' networks, regardless of whether the
failure is caused by our products, could result in:
o negative customer reactions;
o product liability claims;
o negative publicity regarding us and our products;
o delays in or loss of market acceptance of our products;
o product returns; and
o unexpected expenses to remedy defects or errors.
OUR SUCCESS IS SUBSTANTIALLY DEPENDENT ON GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND
BUSINESS TRENDS, PARTICULARLY IN THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY, A
DOWNTURN OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.
The success of our operations depends to a significant extent upon a
number of factors relating to business spending. These factors include economic
conditions such as employment rates and labor supply, general business
conditions, cost of goods and materials, inflation, interest rates and taxation.
Our business is affected by the general condition and economic stability of our
customers as well as our vendors, suppliers and partners and their continued
willingness to work with us in the future. Our business is particularly
sensitive to information technology ("IT") spending patterns and preferences.
There can be no assurance that IT spending will not be adversely affected by
general business trends and economic conditions, thereby impacting our growth,
net sales and profitability.
OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH EFFECTIVELY COULD IMPAIR OUR SUCCESS.
In order for us to expand successfully, management will be required to
anticipate the changing demands of a growth in operations, should such growth
occur, and to adapt systems and procedures accordingly. There can be no
assurance that we will anticipate all of the changing demands that a potential
expansion in operations might impose. If we were to experience growth, we might
be required to hire and train a large number of sales and support personnel, and
-12-
there can be no assurance that the training and supervision of a large number of
new employees would not adversely affect the high standards that we seek to
maintain. Our future will depend, in part, on our ability to integrate new
individuals and capabilities into our operations, should such operations expand
in the future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve
such integration. We will also need to continually evaluate the adequacy of our
management information systems, including our website. Failure to upgrade our
information systems or unexpected difficulties encountered with these systems
during an expansion in our operations (should such an expansion occur) could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
CHANGES IN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE
EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, CASH FLOWS, REVENUE AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting
matters that govern the measurement of our performance. Based on our reading and
interpretations of relevant guidance, principles or concepts issued by, among
other authorities, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, and the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission, our management believes that our current contract terms and
business arrangements have been properly reported. However, there continue to be
issued interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant standards to a
wide range of contract terms and business arrangements that are prevalent in the
industries in which we operate. Future interpretations or changes by the
regulators of existing accounting standards or changes in our business practices
could result in future changes in our revenue recognition and/or other
accounting policies and practices that could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of
operations.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN VOLATILE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN
SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES FOR INVESTORS PURCHASING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
The market prices of securities of technology-based companies (such as
ours) currently are highly volatile. The market price of our common stock has
fluctuated significantly in the past. During 2007, the high and low closing sale
prices of a share of our common stock were $2.22 and $0.60, respectively. On
July 31, 2008, the last reported sale price of a share of our common stock was
$0.55. The market price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate in
response to the following factors, in addition to others, many of which are
beyond our control:
o conversion of our convertible notes and exercise of our warrants and
the sale of their underlying common stock;
o changes in market valuations of similar companies and stock market
price and volume fluctuations generally;
o economic conditions specific to the network switching or related
information technology industries;
o announcements by us or our competitors of new or enhanced products,
technologies or services or significant contracts, acquisitions,
strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
o delays in our introduction of new products or technological
innovations or problems in the functioning of our current or new
products or innovations;
o third parties' infringement of our intellectual property rights;
-13-
o changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our
competitors;
o regulatory developments;
o fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;
o additions or departures of key personnel; and
o future sales of our common stock or other securities.
The price at which you purchase shares of common stock may not be
indicative of the price of our stock that will prevail in the trading market.
You may be unable to sell your shares of common stock at or above your purchase
price, which may result in substantial losses to you. Moreover, in the past,
securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company
following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in
the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could
result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources.
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ELIGIBLE, OR TO BECOME ELIGIBLE, FOR PUBLIC SALE
COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO RAISE
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL THROUGH SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our
common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for sale will have on
the market price prevailing from time to time. As of July 31, 2008, we had
outstanding 69,811,316 shares of common stock, of which approximately 14,255,102
shares were restricted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). As of July 31, 2008, we also had outstanding options,
warrants, and convertible promissory notes that were exercisable for or
convertible into approximately 109,611,214 shares of common stock, which if
exercised or converted in full would cause the amount of our outstanding common
stock to more than double. Sales of shares of our common stock in the public
market, or the perception that sales could occur, could adversely affect the
market price of our common stock. Any adverse effect on the market price of our
common stock could make it difficult for us to raise additional capital through
sales of equity securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
THE CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES AND THE EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING
OPTIONS AND WARRANTS TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK COULD SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTE
YOUR INVESTMENT, IMPEDE OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, AND CAUSE
US TO INCUR ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.
Under the terms of existing notes convertible into our common stock,
warrants to purchase our common stock, non compensatory options to acquire our
common stock, and other outstanding options to acquire our common stock issued
to employees and others, the holders thereof are given an opportunity to profit
from a rise in the market price of our common stock that, upon the exercise of
such warrants and/or options or conversion of such notes, could result in
dilution in the interests of our other shareholders. The terms on which we may
obtain additional financing may be adversely affected by the existence and
potentially dilutive impact of such convertible notes, options and warrants. In
addition, holders of certain convertible notes, options and warrants have
registration rights with respect to the common stock underlying such convertible
notes, options and warrants, the registration of which will cause us to incur a
substantial expense.
THE VOTING POWER AND VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT COULD DECLINE IF OUR CONVERTIBLE
NOTES AND WARRANTS ARE CONVERTED AT A REDUCED PRICE DUE TO OUR ISSUANCE OF
LOWER-PRICED SHARES OR MARKET DECLINES WHICH TRIGGER RIGHTS OF THE HOLDERS OF
OUR CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND WARRANTS TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR STOCK.
As part of our 2006, 2007 and 2008 senior convertible note financings, we
issued a significant additional amount of convertible notes and warrants, the
exercise or conversion of which could have a substantial negative impact on the
price of our common stock and could result in a dramatic decrease in the value
-14-
of your investment. The initial conversion price of some of our senior
convertible notes is subject to market-price protection that may cause the
conversion price of the notes to be reduced in the event of a downward
fluctuation in the market price of our common stock. In addition, the initial
conversion price of our convertible notes and the initial exercise price of a
majority of our warrants will be subject to downward anti-dilution adjustments
in most cases, from time to time, where we issue securities at a purchase,
exercise or conversion price that is less than the then-applicable conversion
price of our outstanding convertible notes or exercise price of our outstanding
warrants. Consequently, the voting power and value of your investment in each
such event would decline if our convertible notes or warrants are converted or
exercised for shares of our common stock at the new lower price as a result of
such declining market-price or sales of our securities are made below the
conversion price of the notes and/or the exercise price of the warrants.
The market-price protection feature of some of our senior convertible
notes could also allow those notes to become convertible into a greatly
increased number of additional shares of our common stock, particularly if a
holder of the notes sequentially converts portions of the note into shares of
our common stock at alternate conversion prices and resells those shares into
the market. If a holder of the notes sequentially converts portions of the notes
into shares of our common stock at alternate conversion prices and resells those
shares into the market, then the market price of our common stock could decline
due to the additional shares available in the market, particularly in light of
the relatively thin trading volume of our common stock. Consequently, if a
holder of the notes repeatedly converts portions of the notes at alternate
conversion prices and then resells those underlying shares into the market, a
continuous downward spiral of the market price of our common stock could occur
that would benefit a holder of our senior convertible notes at the expense of
other existing or potential holders of our common stock, potentially creating a
divergence of interests between a holder of our senior convertible notes and
investors who purchase the shares of common stock resold by a holder of the
notes following conversion of the notes.
THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT COULD
SUBSTANTIALLY DECLINE IF OUR CONVERTIBLE NOTES, WARRANTS OR OPTIONS ARE
CONVERTED INTO SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND RESOLD INTO THE MARKET, OR IF A
PERCEPTION EXISTS THAT A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES WILL BE ISSUED UPON
CONVERSION OR EXERCISE OF OUR CONVERTIBLE NOTES, WARRANTS OR OPTIONS AND THEN
RESOLD INTO THE MARKET.
If the conversion prices at which the balances of our convertible notes,
warrants and options are converted are lower than the price at which you made
your investment, immediate dilution of the value of your investment will occur.
In addition, sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock issued upon
conversion of our convertible notes, warrants and options, or even the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price
of our common stock, which would mean that certain convertible notes would be
convertible into an increased number of shares of our common stock in cases
where, as described elsewhere in these risk factors, the conversion price is
based upon a discount from the market price of our common stock. You could,
therefore, experience a substantial decline in the value of your investment as a
result of both the actual and potential conversion of our outstanding
convertible notes, warrants or options.
THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UPON THE CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND THE
EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING OPTIONS AND WARRANTS COULD RESULT IN A CHANGE OF
CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY.
As of July 31, 2008, we had outstanding options, warrants, and convertible
promissory notes that were exercisable for or convertible into approximately
109,611,214 shares of common stock. In addition, as discussed elsewhere in these
Risk Factors, the number of shares exercisable under outstanding warrants and
convertible under outstanding notes may be subject to increase in the event of
our future issuance of securities or a downward fluctuation in the market price
-15-
of our common stock. A change of control of our Company could occur if a
significant number of shares are issued to the holders of our outstanding
warrants or convertible notes. If a change of control occurs, then the
stockholders who historically have controlled our Company would no longer have
the ability to exert significant control over matters that could include the
election of our directors, changes in the size and composition of our Board of
Directors, and mergers and other business combinations involving our Company.
Instead, one or more other stockholders could gain the ability to exert this
type of control and may also, through control of our Board of Directors and
voting power, be able to control certain decisions, including decisions
regarding the qualification and appointment of officers, dividend policy, access
to capital (including borrowing from third-party lenders and the issuance of
additional equity securities), and the acquisition or disposition of our assets.
IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN MAINTAINING COMPLIANCE WITH OR MODIFYING OUR
REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS WITH REGARD TO OUR SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND
RELATED WARRANTS, WE MAY INCUR SUBSTANTIAL MONETARY PENALTIES.
The registration rights agreements we entered into in connection with our
2006, 2007 and 2008 senior convertible note financings require us to, among
other things, register for resale the shares of common stock issued or issuable
under our senior convertible notes and the warrants issued by us in connection
with those notes, and maintain the effectiveness of the registration for an
extended period of time. We will be required to file a number of registration
statements, including the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part, to ensure that all shares to be issued in connection with the convertible
note financings will be registered. If we are unable to have any one of these
registration statements declared effective by the SEC, or maintain effectiveness
of the required registration statements, or to modify our registration
obligations, then we may be required to pay liquidated damages in an amount up
to approximately $288,000 on the date of such failure and on every 30th day
thereafter until such failure is cured. The total liquidated damages payable by
us for our failure to meet these filing and effectiveness requirements are
capped at $1,809,375. The payment of liquidated damages would adversely affect
our business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to service our
other indebtedness by adversely affecting our cash flows.
In addition, failure to meet our registration requirements may result in
an event of default under the convertible notes. Among other things, upon an
event of default the convertible note holders are entitled to demand that we
immediately pay the entire principal balance of the notes in full, plus a
significant cash redemption penalty beyond the full payment of such principal.
If one or more of the note holders exercised their redemption rights upon an
event of default, it would have a significant negative impact on our financial
condition and would likely render us insolvent. Also, upon an event of default
of our 2007 and 2008 senior secured convertible notes, the holders are entitled
to foreclose on all of our assets. If our assets were to be foreclosed upon, we
would not be able to operate.
THE VOTING POWER OF YOUR INVESTMENT AND OUR EARNINGS PER SHARE WOULD BE
SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTED IF ALL OR A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR CONVERTIBLE
NOTES, WARRANTS OR OPTIONS WERE CONVERTED INTO SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
If the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying our
convertible notes, warrants or options had been issued and outstanding as of
this date, substantial dilution of the voting power of your investment and of
our earnings per share would occur.
-16-
BECAUSE WE ARE SUBJECT TO "PENNY STOCK" RULES, THE LEVEL OF TRADING ACTIVITY
IN OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE REDUCED.
Our stock is listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTC Bulletin
Board) and constitutes "Penny Stock." Broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in Penny Stocks are regulated by rules adopted by the SEC. Penny
Stocks are generally equity securities with a price per share of less than $5.00
(other than securities registered on certain national exchanges). The Penny
Stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in Penny Stocks not
exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that
provides information about Penny Stocks and the nature and level of risks in the
Penny Stock Market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with
current bid and offer quotations for the Penny Stock, the compensation of the
broker-dealer and the salesperson in the transaction, and monthly accounting
statements showing the market value of each Penny Stock held in the customer's
account. In addition, the broker-dealer must 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
requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in a
Penny Stock, such as our common stock, and investors in our common stock may
find it difficult to sell their shares.
BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS NOT LISTED ON A NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE, YOU
MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO DISPOSE OF OR OBTAIN QUOTATIONS FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.
Our common stock trades under the symbol "RPTN" on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Because our stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, rather than on a national
securities exchange, you may find it difficult to either dispose of, or to
obtain quotations as to the price of, our common stock.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including statements
concerning future conditions in the network switching industry, and concerning
our future business, financial condition, operating strategies, and operational
and legal risks. We use words like "plan," "estimate," "expect," "believe,"
"should," "would," "could," "anticipate," "may," "forecast," "project," "pro
forma," "goal," "continues," "intend," "seek" or variations of those terms and
other similar expressions, including their use in the negative, to identify
forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as to our expectations as of the
date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties, including those identified under "Risk
Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable,
actual conditions in the network switching industry, and actual conditions and
results in our business, could differ materially from those expressed in these
forward-looking statements. In addition, none of the events anticipated in the
forward-looking statements may actually occur. Any of these different outcomes
could cause the price of our common stock to decline substantially. Except as
required by law, we undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement
after the date of this prospectus, either to conform any statement to reflect
actual results or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of
common stock offered under this prospectus by the selling security holders.
Rather, the selling security holders will receive those proceeds directly.

DIVIDENDS
We have never paid a cash dividend with respect to our common stock, and
have no present intention to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The
current policy of our Board of Directors is to retain earnings to provide funds
for the operation and expansion of our business. Our Board of Directors, in
light of the circumstances then existing, including our earnings and financial
requirements and general business conditions, will determine the timing and
amount of future dividends, if any. In addition, the terms of our senior
convertible notes prohibit us from paying cash dividends for the term of the
loan arrangements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page F-1 of
this prospectus. This prospectus and our consolidated financial statements and
notes to financial statements contain forward-looking statements, which
generally include the plans and objectives of management for future operations,
including plans and objectives relating to our future economic performance and
our current beliefs regarding revenues we might generate and profits we might
earn if we are successful in implementing our business strategies. The
forward-looking statements and associated risks may include, relate to or be
qualified by other important factors, including, but not limited to:
o those identified under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of this
prospectus,
o our inability to continue as a going concern,
o our inability to raise additional capital,
o lower sales and revenues than forecast,
o inability to carry out our marketing and sales plans,
o unexpected costs and operating deficits,
o failure to establish relationships with and capitalize upon access
to new customers,
o litigation and administrative proceedings involving us or products,
o adverse publicity and news coverage,
o adverse economic conditions,
o entry of new and stronger competitors,
o changes in interest rates and inflationary factors, and
o other specific risks that may be referred to in this prospectus or
in other reports that we have filed with the SEC.
We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any forward-looking
statements.
Any of the factors described above or in the "Risk Factors" section could
cause our financial results, including our net income or loss or growth in net
income or loss, to differ materially from prior results, which in turn could,
among other things, cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate
substantially.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The
preparation of our financial statements requires our management to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical
experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The significant accounting
policies that are believed to be the most critical to aid in fully understanding
and evaluating the reported financial results include inventory valuations,
license fees and the accounting treatment of derivatives.
-21-
INVENTORY VALUATION
We determine our inventory value at the lower of average cost or market.
When required, a provision is made to reduce excess and obsolete inventory to
estimated net realizable value. Our provision for excess and obsolete inventory
decreased from $204,758 at December 31, 2007 to $61,711 at June 30, 2008 due to
previously provided for obsolete inventory being scrapped and charged against
the provision during the second quarter of 2008.
VALUATION OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our senior convertible notes are classified as non-conventional
convertible debt. In the case of non-conventional convertible debt, we bifurcate
our embedded derivative instruments and records them under the provisions of
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended, and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting
for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
Company's Own Stock." Our derivative financial instruments consist of embedded
derivatives related to a non-conventional debenture entered into with certain
investors. These embedded instruments related to the debenture include the
conversion feature, liquidated damages related to registration rights and
default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments
requires that we record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair value
as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each
subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as
non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair
value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, we will
record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivative is
lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, we will record non-operating,
non-cash income.
To determine the fair value of the derivative instruments, we make certain
assumptions regarding the expected term of exercise.
The expected term of the warrants impacts the volatility and risk-free interest
rates used in the Black-Scholes calculations because these must be selected for
the same time period as the expected term of the warrants.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT FOR DERIVATIVES
EMBEDDED CONVERSION FEATURE
Paragraph 12 of SFAS 133 indicates that the conversion features should be
considered a derivative if the following criterion are met:
o The economic characteristics and risks differ between the host and
embedded conversion feature. This condition, relative to our senior
convertible notes, is met because the embedded conversion feature
valuation depends on factors such as volatility, stock price and
expected life whereas the valuation of the host is not impacted by
these factors. SFAS 133, paragraph 61 (k), further confirms the
above position as this paragraph states that "the changes in fair
value of an equity interest and the interest rates on a debt
instrument are not clearly and closely related. Thus, for a debt
security that is convertible into a specified number of shares of
the debtor's common stock or another entity's common stock, the
embedded derivative (that is, the conversion option) must be
separated from the debt host contract and accounted for as a
derivative instrument provided that the conversion option would, as
a freestanding instrument, be a derivative instrument subject to the
requirements of this Statement."
o The contract that includes the host and the conversion feature is
not re-measured at fair value. This condition is met because the
contract (our senior convertible notes) is not re-measured.
o A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded conversion
feature would be derivative as per paragraphs 6 of SFAS 133. Our
review of paragraph 6 revealed that the embedded conversion feature
without a host would be considered a derivative because the embedded
conversion feature (1) has underlying and notional amounts (2)
requires no initial net investments and (3) permits net settlement.
Based on the above considerations it is implied that the embedded
conversion feature related to our senior convertible notes is a derivative that
must be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at
fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. However, before
reaching a final conclusion on whether we are dealing with an embedded
conversion feature that needs to be considered a derivative we need to review
paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133. Paragraph 11(a) states that "contracts issued or
held are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders
equity shall not be considered derivative instruments." Our contract is indexed
to our own stock however to determine the correct classification of the embedded
conversion feature with respect to possible stockholders equity classification,
we reviewed the guidelines provided in EITF 00-19.
-22-
Specifically, EITF 00-19, paragraph 4, and EITF 05-2 indicate that an
embedded conversion feature is conventional if the holder is entitled to convert
their position into a fixed number of shares. The embedded conversion features
of our senior convertible note financings and subject of this review entitles
the holder, under certain circumstances beyond our control, to convert their
position into a variable number of shares. This implies that the embedded
conversion feature under discussion does not qualify as a conventional
convertible instrument. Because the embedded conversion feature does not qualify
as a conventional convertible instrument, we then had to analyze paragraphs
12-32 of EITF 00-19 to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should
be accounted for as a equity or as a liability.
Paragraph 19 of EITF 00-19 stipulates that in order to qualify for equity
treatment, we must have sufficient authorized and unissued shares available to
settle the contract after considering all other commitments that may require the
issuance of stock during the maximum period the derivative contract could remain
outstanding. The total number of shares that we could need to settle the current
contract could exceed the level of authorized shares available for issuance and
this would result in a situation where we do not control settlement of shares.
Consequently, the embedded conversion feature is classified as a liability under
EITF 00-19 and therefore does not qualify for paragraph 11 scope exception in
SFAS 133. As a result, the embedded conversion feature will be accounted for as
a derivative at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.
Based on before mentioned criteria, we classified the conversion feature as a
liability on our balance sheet measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.
The fair value of the conversion features and warrants in excess of the
face value of the debt host instrument is expensed at the time of closing the
financing. These transactions are analogous to paragraph 6 of EITF 98-5, which
states, "... IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, THE INTRINSIC VALUE OF THE BENEFICIAL
CONVERSION FEATURE MAY BE GREATER THAN THE PROCEEDS ALLOCATED TO THE CONVERTIBLE
INSTRUMENT. IN THOSE SITUATIONS, THE TASK FORCE REACHED A CONSENSUS THAT THE
AMOUNT OF THE DISCOUNT ASSIGNED TO THE BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURE IS LIMITED
TO THE AMOUNT OF THE PROCEEDS ALLOCATED TO THE CONVERTIBLE INSTRUMENT." The
discount amount up to the face value of the debt host instrument is amortized
over the life of the note.

============ ============ ============ ============
NET SALES
During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we recognized revenues of
$326,660 and $237,857, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, we recognized revenues of $476,146 and $400,628, respectively. This
increase in revenues was primarily due to an order received in the second
quarter of 2008 from a major cable provider in the USA. It is clear that selling
cycles are longer than expected.
GROSS MARGIN
Our gross profit was $253,107 and $115,130 for the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively, representing a gross margin in the second quarter
of 2008 of 77% versus a gross margin in the second quarter of 2007 of 48%. For
the six months ended June 30, 2008, our gross profit was $330,142 and $231,900,
respectively, representing a gross margin of 69% for the six months ended June
30, 2008 versus a gross margin of 58% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The main reason for this improvement in margins is the change in customer mix.
During the first half of 2007, revenues included sales of highly discounted
demonstration equipment and educational sales. This type of sales did not occur
in the first half of 2008.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Our total operating expenses increased from $1,826,257 during the second quarter
of 2007 to $1,914,740 during the second quarter of 2008. This increase of 5% was
mainly due to an increase of legal expenses due to the April 2008 financing. A
more detailed description of our operating expenses can be found below. For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, total operating expenses decreased from
$3,625,784 to $3,439,431 representing a $186,353 or 11% decrease mainly caused
by financing-related expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2007 which was
more than offset by the financing expenses incurred in the second quarter of
2008.
-25-
SALARY EXPENSES
Salary and salary-related expenses increased from $481,688 in the second quarter
of 2007 to $547,779 in the second quarter of 2008, representing a 14% increase.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, salary expenses were
$1,169,033 and $1,234,310 respectively, representing a decrease of $65,277 or
5%. The increase of expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2008 is the
result of salary increases granted to most employees in early 2008. The impact
of these increases is approximately 5%. The remainder of the increase of salary
expenses relates to an increase of health premiums paid for by us and increased
stock-based compensation charges.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and Development expenses decreased from $522,917 in the second quarter
of 2007 to $328,536 in the second quarter of 2008. The main reasons for this
decrease are a reduction of rental expenses of design tools and reduced
prototype expenses in connection with reduced hardware development activities.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (SG&A) increased from $758,320 in
the second quarter of 2007 to $981,056 in the second quarter of 2008. In the
first half of 2007, SG&A decreased from $1,641,761 to $1,508,919 in the first
half of 2008. The increase of SG&A expenses incurred in the second quarter of
2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 were mainly due to funding-related
expenses such as legal fees and finder's fees (up in total by $342K) offset by a
decrease of warrant-related expenses issued to an investment relations firm in
the second quarter of 2007 (these types of expense decreased by $200K). The
remainder of the increase of expenses is related to the increase of fees paid to
consultants for business development activities (increase of $85K).
The decrease in SG&A for the first half of 2008 compared to the same period in
2007 is caused by the fact that the decrease of legal expenses and finder's fees
in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 exceeded the
increase of these types of expenses in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to
the same period in 2007 by $150K.
NET OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Net other (expense) decreased from $7,097,413 in the second quarter of 2007 to
$3,633,625 in the second quarter of 2008. The primary reasons for this decrease
are:
o For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the fair value of our
conversion option and warrant liabilities decreased $8,269,270
compared to an increase in their fair value of $5,452,070 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007. The fair value of the conversion
feature and warrants is dependent on several factors, including our
stock price and the expected term of the conversion feature and
options. The fair value of the conversion feature and warrants moves
in the same direction as the stock price and the expected term. Our
stock price declined from $1.38 at June 30, 2007 to $0.70 at June
30, 2008. Additionally, the expected terms also decreased due to the
passage of time.
o In the second quarter of 2008, we modified our July 2007 financing
to reduce both the conversion price on the notes and the exercise
price of the warrants from $1.21 to $0.50. The decrease in the
exercise price, along with the write-off of the carrying value of
debt issuance costs of $53,905 resulted in a loss on extinguishment
of debt of $4,828,957 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008. In the first quarter of 2007, we restructured our July 2006
financing increasing the number of warrants issued and reducing the
warrant exercise price from $0.52 to $0.44. As a result, we recorded
a gain of $11,571,860 in connection with an extinguishment of debt
and recorded restructuring charges for a total amount of $2,089,284.
o The cost of financing senior convertible notes was $4,548,846 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $0 and
$18,333,208, respectively, for the three and six months ended June
30, 2007. During 2008, we entered into one financing transaction for
$3.125 million as compared to a $3.5 million transaction in 2007.
Additionally, we recognized $1,146,033 related to the contingency
option of the M warrants in 2008. The decrease in expense recognized
was caused primarily by a decrease in the stock price in 2008 as
compared to 2007.
o Amortization of the discount on convertible debt increased to
$2,193,445 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $1,427,820
for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase results from
amortization on the notes we entered into in 2008 and an increase in
the debt discount after accounting for the modification of the 2007
financing. Amortization on convertible debt increased to $3,912,931
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $2,731,922 for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The increase results from amortization
on the notes we entered into in 2008 and an increase in the debt
discount after accounting for the modification of the 2007
financing.
o Interest expense increased to $337,956 for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 from $224,234 for the three months ended June 30,
2007. Interest expense increased to $593,956 for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 from $437,941 for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The increase is primarily attributable to a higher outstanding
principal balance in 2008 as a result of the financings entered into
in July 2007 and April 2008.

NET SALES
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, we
realized revenues of $849,285 and $1,035,108 respectively. This $185,823
increase (an increase of 22%) in revenues between 2006 and 2007 resulted
primarily from the first sales of our products to a division of the U.S. federal
government in the third quarter of 2007.
In 2007, we sold 38 ER-1010 core switch units and 25 OR-1048 edge switch
units versus the sale of 30 ER-1010 units and 23 OR-1048 units in 2006.
-27-
During 2007, we also made progress in introducing our products to cable
service providers. Our ER-1010 is an attractive network product for the cable
industry which needs low-latency switches for video streaming. Evaluation units
were placed in various leading cable companies and a first order was received in
the fourth quarter of 2007.
With respect to industry verticals other than government and cable, we
noticed that during 2007 selling cycles shortened. The most important examples
of these verticals are manufacturing services, banking, call centers,
entertainment and education.
GROSS MARGIN
Our gross margin was $529,212 and $649,997 in 2006 and 2007, respectively,
representing an increase of $120,785 or 23% in line with the increase of
revenues during the same period of approximately 22%.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses were approximately $6,641,096 and $7,048,741 in
2006 and 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $407,645 or 6%. This
increase was mainly due to an increase of salaries partially offset by a
decrease of marketing expenses.
The following descriptions detail our total operating expenses by expense
category.
SALARY EXPENSE
Total salary expenses (excluding R&D related salaries which are captured
under "Research and "development costs") increased from $2,099,946 in 2006 to
$2,596,537 in 2007, an increase of $496,591 or 24%. The main reason for this
increase was the increased charges booked for expensing stock options in 2007 as
compared to 2006. The total increase in this respect amounted to approximately
$200,000 and was mainly caused by the fact that our actual employee turnover was
less than forecasted resulting in a higher expense charge for stock options.
Another reason for the increase in salary expense was increased health premiums,
which increased by approximately $90,000 in 2007 over 2006. The remaining
increase in salary expenses in 2007 over 2006 amounted to approximately
$200,000, and was caused by salary increases, bonus payments and an average
headcount increase over the year by one person.
MARKETING EXPENSES
Marketing expenses decreased from $229,381 in 2006 to $97,237 in 2007, a
decrease of $132,144 or 58%. The main reason for this decrease was that in 2006
we engaged in a marketing campaign through a third party in connection with lead
generation. In 2007, we did not engage any third parties for these activities.
-28-
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We spent $1,336,518 and $1,356,326 on research and development (R&D) in
2006 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $19,808 or 1%. This increase was due
in part to increases in salaries of $131,000 as a result of a slight R&D
headcount increase, increased use of prototypes resulting in an expense increase
of $40,000 and an increase of charges in 2007 over 2006 for parts consumption of
$52,000. These increases were offset by reduced costs for design tools (down by
$160,000) and reduced project charges and costs of obsolescence (down by
$80,000).
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased from
$2,975,251 in 2006 to $2,998,641 in 2007, an increase of $23,390 or 1%. The main
increases were: a $39,000 increase of consulting expenses in connection with
increased engagement of sales consultants in important verticals such as the
government and cable industries; an $87,000 increase of legal expenses, mainly
in connection with patent application-related fees and opinion letters required
with various financings during 2007; an increase of $151,000 in connection with
increased use of contract labor used for business development; issuance of
warrants in April 2007 for investment relation services valued at $165,000 (such
an expense did not occur in 2006; an increase in expenses for audit and
accounting services of $131,000 over 2006, in connection with the engagement of
a new audit firm and support required for the analysis of derivative instruments
included in our financial statements. These increases were largely offset by
decreases of employee recruitment expenses by $92,000; bank charges which
decreased by $40,000; a decrease of inventory variances of $206,000; decreased
depreciation expenses of $137,000 (a large portion of fixed assets was fully
written off in early 2007) and a $159,000 decrease in finder's fees expenses
resulting from a lower level of fund raising in 2007 compared to 2006.
OTHER INCOME/(LOSS)
Other income (loss) improved from a loss in 2006 of $12,966,694 to a loss
in 2007 of $3,110,503. The primary reason for the improvement of other income is
the decrease of our stock price during most of 2007, which resulted in the
recognition of substantial gains related to the change in the fair value of the
conversion features embedded in our senior convertible notes at December 31,
2007. In 2006, our stock price increased during the year resulting in
substantial re-measurement losses for that period. Additional detail regarding
Other Income/Loss follows:
o We are required by EITF 96-19 to record the extinguishment of the
July 31, 2006 senior convertible notes as valued at January 18,
2007, resulting in a gain of $11,571,860.
o With respect to all three of our senior convertible note financing
transactions that took place between July 2007 and August 2007, as
prescribed by SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, we are required to
account for the warrants and the embedded conversion feature
associated with the transactions as liabilities at their respective
estimated fair values. In connection with the forced conversion of a
portion of the notes which took place in the third quarter of 2007,
the main portion of the M-1 and M-2 warrants became due to
investors. Therefore, starting in the third quarter of 2007, we
included the impact of the valuation of M-1 and M-2 Warrants. We are
also required to adjust the estimated fair values of these
liabilities at each period-end, with the resultant gain or loss
recorded against earnings. For the year 2007, ending December 31,
the price of our common stock decreased by $0.27 from $0.94 per
share at January 1, 2007 to $0.67 per share at December 31, 2007,
resulting in a gain of $18,956,186. In 2006, we charged an amount of
$9,080,794 in connection with the adjustment of fair values of these
liabilities regarding conversions and warrants. The warrants and
conversion feature are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing
-29-
model. We believe that the closing price of our common stock, the
estimated life of the financial instrument and the applicable
volatility rates are the key assumptions used in the valuation
calculation. In connection with our three separate senior
convertible note financing transactions, we have expensed the excess
value of the debt discount over the proceeds of the notes totaling
$12,304,909 for a total amount of $24,557,055. In July 2006, an
amount of $2,499,794 representing the excess value of the debt
discount over the $5,000,000 in proceeds from the 2006 note was
written off.
o The total net discount cost associated with our senior convertible
notes amounted to $12,304,909 and is amortized over the lifetime of
the respective notes. The total charge for 2007 amounts to
$6,073,699. In 2006, we incurred $1,041,666 in discount cost
amortization expense.
o In connection with the restructuring of the July 31, 2006 financing,
we agreed to increase the principal amount of the related senior
convertible notes by $2,204,909 and recorded this increase of
principal after deduction of interest for a total restructuring
amount of $2,089,284 as a cost of financing our senior convertible
notes in January 2007.
o Interest expense increased from $346,049 in 2006 to $941,839 in
2007. The primary reason for this difference is the increased amount
of convertible notes which are subject to interest payments on a
quarterly basis. In 2006, the convertible notes outstanding in the
period of July 30, 2006 to December 31, 2006 amounted to $5,000,000.
In 2007, the outstanding amount during the entire year was on an
average basis, approximately $9,164,363.
THIRD QUARTER 2007 RESTATEMENT
On July 30, 2007 we effected a mandatory conversion in the amount of
$2,707,475 carrying a corresponding conversion feature, valued at $3,607,648. In
our third quarter 2007 statement of operations this amount was recognized as a
gain to "other income/loss" whereas this amount should have been accounted for
as an increase to "additional paid in capital" (APIC). This restatement was
corrected in our fourth quarter of 2007 financial statements as filed with our
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for December 31, 2007. The adjustments in the
fourth quarter of 2007 regarding the third quarter 2007 did not affect the our
cash position. For further details on this matter, please see explanations under
"Third Quarter 2007 Restatement" in Note 1 to our consolidated financial
statements on Page F-23 of this prospectus.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our independent registered public accounting firms have qualified their
opinion with respect to our financial statements to include an explanatory
paragraph related to our ability to continue as a going concern in their report
for each of our fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Reports of
independent registered public accounting firms questioning a company's ability
to continue as a going concern generally are viewed very unfavorably by analysts
and investors. There are a number of risks and challenges associated with such a
qualified report including, but not limited to, a significant impediment to our
ability to raise additional capital or seek financing from entities that will
not conduct such transactions in the face of such increased level of risk of
insolvency and loss, increased difficulty in attracting talent, and the
diversion of the attention of executive officers and other key employees to
raising capital or financing rather than devoting time to the day-to-day
operations of our business. We urge potential investors to review the report of
our independent registered public accounting firm and our consolidated financial
statements and related notes beginning on page F-1 of this prospectus and the
cautionary statements included in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 6
of this prospectus and to seek independent advice concerning the substantial
risks related thereto before making a decision to invest in us, or to maintain
an investment in us.
-30-
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred a net loss of
$19,237,555. Since our inception, we have realized negligible revenues and have
financed our operations almost exclusively from cash on hand raised through the
sale of our securities and borrowings. As of June 30, 2008, we had a deficit in
working capital of $30,484,863 of which $25,787,454 relates to the fair value of
derivative financial instruments.
Our management has attempted and continues to attempt to address these
financial conditions by seeking additional debt and equity financing to fund our
continuing operations, as more fully described below. We currently have no
commitments for any additional financing and there can be no assurance that we
will be able to obtain requisite financing on acceptable terms, if at all. If we
do not experience a significant increase in revenues through October 2008 or
sooner, structural changes to our business model that have been under
consideration (and previously disclosed in our public filings), including but
not limited to strategic partnerships, joint ventures, intellectual property
collaboration, and shifting from an operating to a licensing model may become
necessary to continue our operations. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to consummate such a business transition and/or a shift in business model
successfully, if at all, and should we be unable to do so, our investors could
lose their entire investment in us.
JULY 2006 SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING
On July 30, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
three institutional accredited investors in connection with a private placement
transaction providing for, among other things, our issuance of senior
convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5 million, Series L
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 17,065,623 shares of our common stock
and Series M Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,395,103 shares of our
common stock. We received aggregate gross proceeds of $5 million from the
investors for our issuance of these notes and warrants.
We subsequently entered into Amendment and Exchange Agreements, dated
January 18, 2007 and amended and restated on January 22, 2007, with the
investors from the July 30, 2006 private placement providing for certain
amendments to the senior convertible notes, Series L Warrants, Series M Warrants
and registration rights agreement. These amendments include, but are not limited
to, an increase in the principal amount of the notes from an aggregate of $5
million to an aggregate of approximately $7.2 million, an increase in the
aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series
L Warrants by 5,688,540 (from an aggregate of 17,065,623 shares to an aggregate
of 22,754,163 shares), and a reduction in the exercise price of the Series L
Warrants and the Series M Warrants from $0.5054 per share to $0.43948 per share.
We also modified our registration obligations to require that we initially
register 15,267,292 shares of our common stock underlying the senior convertible
notes with the SEC, with the remaining shares underlying the senior convertible
notes and the shares underlying the Series L Warrants and Series M Warrants to
be registered by subsequent registration statements to be filed at a later date
as permitted by the SEC. We did not receive any additional cash consideration
for these amendments. The amendments provided for by the Amendment and Exchange
Agreements were reflected by our issuance of amended and restated notes, our
issuance of Series L-1 Warrants and Series M-1 Warrants that replaced the Series
L and Series M Warrants and our entry into an amended and restated registration
rights agreement with the investors.
In addition, the Amendment and Exchange Agreements provided for an
additional private placement transaction with one of the investors, which
resulted in our issuance of an additional senior convertible note in the
principal amount of $1.6 million, Series L-2 Warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 7,281,332 shares of our common stock and Series M-2 Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 2,366,433 shares of our common stock. We received aggregate gross
proceeds of $1.6 million from the investor for our issuance of these additional
note and warrants.
-31-
JULY 2007 SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING
On July 31, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with
three investors for total gross proceeds of $3.5 million in a private placement
transaction providing for our issuance on August 1, 2007 of Senior Secured
Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million, Series N
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,909,636 shares of our common stock,
Series O Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of up to 1,891,263 and Series P
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,246,987 shares of our common stock.
We also entered into a security agreement granting the investors a first
priority perfected security interest in all of our assets and our subsidiary has
guaranteed our obligations under the July 2007 notes.
In addition, we have entered into private placement transactions with
these same investors in July 2006 and January 2007, as described under the
caption "July 2006 Senior Convertible Note Financing" above, and in April 2008
and July 2008, as described under the captions "April 2008 Senior Secured
Convertible Note Financing" and "July 2008 Senior Secured Convertible Note
Financing" below.
The July 2007 notes carry an interest rate of 9.25% per annum, which rate
may be increased to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default, and mature
on August 1, 2010. This date may be extended, at the option of the investors, by
up to two years. Interest will be payable quarterly, starting October 1, 2007.
The July 2007 notes are immediately convertible and had an initial conversion
price of $1.2029 per share. However, pursuant to the full-ratchet anti-dilution
provisions described below, our subsequent issuance of securities in our April
2008 private placement has resulted in a reduced conversion price of $0.50 per
share. The entire outstanding principal balance and any outstanding fees or
interest shall be due and payable in full on the maturity date. Under certain
conditions, we may require investors to convert up to either 50% or 100% of the
outstanding balances of the July 2007 notes at any time shares of our common
stock are trading at or above $1.80435 or $2.105075, respectively.
The N Warrants, O Warrants and P Warrants each carried an initial strike
price of $1.2029 per share. However, pursuant to the full-ratchet anti-dilution
provisions of the warrants, our subsequent issuance of securities in our April
2008 private placement has resulted in a reduced strike price of $0.50 per share
and an increased number of shares issuable under the warrants as follows: N
Warrants - 7,000,000 shares, O Warrants - 4,550,000, P Warrants - 3,000,000. The
N Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of August 1,
2016 or seven years after the date all of the shares issuable upon conversion of
the July 2007 notes have been included on an effective registration statement.
The O Warrants will only become exercisable by an investor if we conduct
mandatory conversions, and then only to the extent of 65% of the number of
shares issued to such investor upon each mandatory conversion. The O Warrants
expire on the earlier of August 1, 2016 or seven years after the date all of the
shares issuable upon conversion of the July 2007 notes have been included on an
effective registration statement. The P Warrants are immediately exercisable and
expire on the earlier of the maturity date of the July 2007 notes of August 1,
2010, which date may be extended by up to two years at the option of the
investors, and the date we have satisfied our payment obligations under the
warrant holder's 2007 Secured Note.
In the event of a default or upon the occurrence of certain fundamental
transactions as defined in the July 2007 notes, the investors will have the
right to require us to redeem the July 2007 notes at a premium. In addition, at
any time on or after August 1, 2010, the investors may accelerate the partial
payment of the July 2007 notes by requiring that we convert at the lower of the
then conversion price or a 7.5% or 10.0% discount to the recent volume weighted
average price of our common stock, or at our option, redeem in cash, up to an
amount equal to 20% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock
over the prior 20-trading day period.
-32-
The conversion price of the July 2007 notes and the exercise price of the
N Warrants, O Warrants and P Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution
provisions for stock splits and the like, and are also subject to full-ratchet
anti-dilution protection such that if we issue or are deemed to have issued
certain securities at a price lower than the then applicable conversion or
exercise price, then the conversion or exercise price will immediately be
reduced to such lower price.
The July 2007 notes and the N Warrants, O Warrants and P Warrants contain
certain limitations on conversion or exercise, including that a holder of those
securities cannot convert or exercise those securities to the extent that upon
such conversion or exercise, that holder, together with the holder's affiliates,
would own in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock (subject
to an increase or decrease, upon at least 61-days' notice, by the investor to
us, of up to 9.99%).
We have agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the July
2007 notes, N Warrants, O Warrants and P Warrants. If we fail to meet the filing
or effectiveness requirements, subject to certain grace periods, we may be
required to pay liquidated damages of $70,000 on the date of such failure and on
every 30th day thereafter until such failure is cured. The total liquidated
damages payable by us for failure to meet the filing and effectiveness
requirements are capped at $437,500.
APRIL 2008 SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING
On March 31, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with
three investors, which closed on April 1, 2008, for total gross proceeds of
$3.125 million, which agreement provided for the issuance of Senior Secured
Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3.125 million, Series Q
Warrants and 3,125,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement
transaction. We also entered into a security agreement granting the investors a
first priority perfected security interest in all of our assets and our
subsidiary has guaranteed our obligations under the April 2008 notes.
In addition, we have entered into private placement transactions with
these same investors in July 2006, January 2007, July 2007 and July 2008 as
described under the captions "July 2006 Senior Convertible Note Financing" and
"July 2007 Senior Secured Convertible Note Financing" above and under the
caption "July 2008 Senior Secured Convertible Note Financing" below.
The April 2008 notes carry an interest rate of 10% per annum, which rate
may be increased to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default. Interest in
the amount of $625,000, representing two years of interest, was prepaid to the
investors on April 1, 2008. The April 2008 notes mature on March 31, 2010. This
date may be extended, at the option of the investors, by up to two years. The
April 2008 notes are immediately convertible and had an initial conversion price
of $1.00 per share. However, pursuant to the full-ratchet anti-dilution
provisions described below, our subsequent issuance of securities in our July
2008 private placement has resulted in a reduced conversion price of $0.50 per
share. The entire outstanding principal balance and any outstanding fees or
interest shall be due and payable in full on the maturity date.
The Series Q Warrants initially covered the purchase of 6,250,000 shares
of our common stock at an initial strike price of $1.00 per share. However,
pursuant to the full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions of the Series Q Warrants,
our subsequent issuance of securities in our July 2008 private placement
increased the number of shares issuable under the Series Q Warrants to
12,500,000 and resulted in a reduced strike price per share equal to the lower
of (i) $0.50 and (ii) 75% of the weighted average market price of our common
-33-
stock during certain measuring periods prior to the date a registration
statement covering the shares underlying the Series Q Warrants is declared
effective by the SEC. In addition, as part of the July 2008 private placement,
the Series Q Warrants were amended to permit us to force the holders of the
Series Q Warrants to effect a cash exercise of the warrants under certain
circumstances. The Series Q Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on
March 31, 2017.
In the event of a default or upon the occurrence of certain fundamental
transactions as defined in the April 2008 notes, the investors will have the
right to require us to redeem the April 2008 notes at a premium. In addition, at
any time on or after September 30, 2008, the investors may accelerate the
payment of the April 2008 notes by requiring that we convert, or at our option,
redeem in cash, up to an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate dollar trading
volume of our common stock over the prior 20-trading-day period. If we elect to
use shares of our common stock to satisfy an accelerated payment, we must
deliver shares to the investors in an amount equal to the accelerated payment
amount divided by the lower of the conversion price and a 15% discount to the
recent volume weighted average price of our common stock.
The conversion price of the April 2008 notes and the exercise price of the
Series Q Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions for stock
splits and the like, and are also subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution
protection such that if we issue or are deemed to have issued certain securities
at a price lower than the then applicable conversion or exercise price, then the
conversion or exercise price will immediately be reduced to such lower price.
The April 2008 notes and the Series Q Warrants contain certain limitations on
conversion or exercise, including that a holder of those securities cannot
convert or exercise those securities to the extent that upon such conversion or
exercise, that holder, together with the holder's affiliates, would own in
excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock (subject to an
increase or decrease, upon at least 61-days' notice, by the investor to us, of
up to 9.99%).
We have agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the April
2008 notes and Series Q Warrants. If we fail to meet the filing or effectiveness
requirements of our registration obligations, subject to certain grace periods,
we may be required to pay liquidated damages of $62,500 on the date of such
failure and on every 30th day thereafter until such failure is cured. The total
liquidated damages payable by us for failure to meet the filing and
effectiveness requirements are capped at $390,625.
JULY 2008 SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING
On July 28, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with
three investors for total gross proceeds of $1.25 million, which agreement
provided for the issuance of Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $1.25 million, Series R Warrants, replacement warrants (the
"Replacement Warrants") and 1,250,000 shares of our common stock in a private
placement transaction. We also entered into an amended and restated security
agreement granting the investors a first priority perfected security interest in
all of our assets, an amended and restated pledge agreement, and an amended and
restated guaranty.
In addition, we previously entered into private placement transactions
with these same investors in July 2006, January 2007, July 2007, and April 2008
as described under the captions "July 2006 Senior Convertible Note Financing,"
"July 2007 Senior Secured Convertible Note Financing," and "April 2008 Senior
Secured Convertible Note Financing" above.
The July 2008 notes carry an interest rate of 10% per annum, which rate
may be increased to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default. Interest in
the amount of $250,000, representing two years of interest, was prepaid to the
investors on July 28, 2008. The July 2008 notes mature on July 28, 2010. This
date may be extended, at the option of the investors, by up to two years. The
July 2008 notes are immediately convertible at a conversion price of $1.00 per
share. The entire outstanding principal balance and any outstanding fees or
interest shall be due and payable in full on the maturity date.
-34-
The Series R Warrants carry a strike price of $0.50 per share and are
immediately exercisable. The Series R Warrants expire on July 28, 2015. The
Replacement Warrants become exercisable, on a one-for-one basis, upon each share
of common stock issued upon exercise of a Series Q Warrant held by the same
investor. The Replacement Warrants carry a strike price per share equal to the
lower of (i) $0.50, (ii) 75% of the weighted average market price of our common
stock during certain measuring periods prior to the date a registration
statement covering the shares underlying the Series Q Warrants is declared
effective by the SEC and (iii) 75% of the weighted average market price of our
common stock during certain measuring periods prior to the date the Series Q
Warrants are exercised.
In the event of a default or upon the occurrence of certain fundamental
transactions as defined in the July 2008 notes, the investors will have the
right to require us to redeem the July 2008 notes at a premium. In addition, at
any time on or after January 28, 2009, the investors may accelerate the payment
of the July 2008 notes by requiring that we convert, or at our option, redeem in
cash, up to an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of
our common stock over the prior 20-trading-day period. If we elect to use shares
of our common stock to satisfy an accelerated payment, we must deliver shares to
the investors in an amount equal to the accelerated payment amount divided by
the lower of the conversion price and a 15% discount to the recent volume
weighted average price of our common stock.
The conversion price of the July 2008 notes and the exercise price of the
Series R Warrants and Replacement Warrants are subject to customary
anti-dilution provisions for stock splits and the like, and are also subject to
full-ratchet anti-dilution protection such that if we issue or are deemed to
have issued certain securities at a price lower than the then applicable
conversion or exercise price, then the conversion or exercise price will
immediately be reduced to such lower price. The July 2008 notes and the Series R
Warrants and Replacement Warrants contain certain limitations on conversion or
exercise, including that a holder of those securities cannot convert or exercise
those securities to the extent that upon such conversion or exercise, that
holder, together with the holder's affiliates, would own in excess of 4.99% of
our outstanding shares of common stock (subject to an increase or decrease, upon
at least 61-days' notice, by the investor to us, of up to 9.99%).
We have agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the July
2008 notes and Series R Warrants and Replacement Warrants. If we fail to meet
the filing or effectiveness requirements of our registration obligations,
subject to certain grace periods, we may be required to pay liquidated damages
of $25,000 on the date of such failure and on every 30th day thereafter until
such failure is cured. The total liquidated damages payable by us for failure to
meet the filing and effectiveness requirements are capped at $156,250.
The foregoing raises during fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and
2007 and the second and third quarter of 2008 have enabled us to support our
continuing operations.
We currently have no commitments for any additional financing and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain requisite financing on
acceptable terms, if at all. If we do not experience a significant increase in
revenues through October 2008 or sooner, structural changes to our business
model that have been under consideration (and previously disclosed in our public
filings), including but not limited to strategic partnerships, joint ventures,
intellectual property collaboration, and shifting from an operating to a
licensing model may become necessary to continue our operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to consummate such a business transition and/or a
shift in business model successfully, if at all, and should we be unable to do
so, our investors could lose their entire investment in us.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, we incurred $6,464 and
$45,160, respectively, in capital expenditures for property and equipment.
Capital expenditures during 2007 were mostly related to the purchase of computer
and engineering test equipment, while in 2006 capital expenditures related to
general furniture and office purchases.
-35-
Effective August 1, 2007, we extended the lease for our corporate
headquarters in Santa Ana, California. The lease has a scheduled termination
date of July 31, 2009. The base rent as of August 1, 2007 is $23,348 per month
($2.10 per rentable square foot). On August 1, 2008, the monthly rent will
increase to $24,126 ($2.17 per rentable square foot), which will be the monthly
rate until termination of the lease on July 31, 2009. .

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We were organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 22,
2001 under the name Pacific InterMedia, Inc. We originally were engaged in the
business of offering EDGAR filing services to companies outsourcing the
formatting and electronic filing of registration statements, periodic reports
and other forms with the SEC, but generated minimal revenues from these
operations. On October 17, 2003, we completed a business combination transaction
with Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., a California corporation ("Raptor"),
whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Raptor in
a cashless common stock share-for-share exchange in which Raptor became our
wholly-owned subsidiary.
Upon the completion of this acquisition transaction, we changed our name
to Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., terminated our EDGAR filing services
operations and, by and through our subsidiary Raptor, became engaged in the data
network switching industry. Since that time, our focus has been to design,
produce and sell standards-based, proprietary high-speed network switching
technologies. Our "distributed network switching technology" allows users to
upgrade their traditional networks with our switches to allow for more efficient
management of high-bandwidth applications. The implementation of our products in
a user's network provides increased speed and greater capacity and, we believe,
a cost-effective alternative to existing switching and routing technologies.
We have designed a family of modular network switch products branded the
"Ether-Raptor" line, which consist of core and edge switch products that operate
together in a unique and highly-efficient manner. In a sharp departure from
traditional, centralized, chassis-based switch architectures that were
originally designed to handle latency (a time delay in the transfer of data)
insensitive traffic such as email and block data transfers, we have developed
the ability to "bind" physically separated network switches into a common
"virtual chassis," creating the ability for a single network switch to exist in
multiple locations at distances spanning over 1,000 kilometers and to transport
data over that network at very high speeds. This functionality is essential to
new high-bandwidth applications such as Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP"),
streaming video, Internet Protocol Television ("IPTV") and high-speed digital
access, none of which existed when traditional chassis-based network switch
designs were created. We believe that our Ether-Raptor architecture and
associated products may redefine the manner in which data distribution occurs
for service providers offering VOIP, streaming video, IPTV and other
high-bandwidth applications. Due to the full, open-standards compatibility of
our Ether-Raptor product line, our network switches have nearly universal
applicability on legacy as well as newly-installed Ethernet networks where
speed, high bandwidth, redundancy and high reliability are essential.
We believe the unique features of our products can best be summarized as
follows:
o we were first to market with "distributed common core fabric," a
network switch technology that eliminates dependency on complex and
costly chassis products;
o our simplified architectures improve redundancy and resiliency;
o the reduced complexity, tighter hardware integration, and common
components (including common software components) of our products
provides users the opportunity for economies of scale and reduced
costs;
o the open standards of our products provide for compatibility with
legacy products;
-37-
o our products' low transport latency can support emerging converged
video, voice and data applications without sacrificing
Quality-of-Service; and
o the Layer 2-7 Classification of our products provides full feature
sets across a user's network.
We remain an early stage technology company and, commencing with our
inception, have operated, and are now operating, at a significant loss. We
currently have no commitments for any additional financing and there can be no
assurance that we will be able to obtain requisite financing on acceptable
terms, if at all. If we do not experience a significant increase in revenues
through October 2008 or sooner, structural changes to our business model that
have been under consideration (and previously disclosed in our public filings),
including but not limited to strategic partnerships, joint ventures,
intellectual property collaboration, and shifting from an operating to a
licensing model may become necessary to continue our operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to consummate such a business transition and/or a
shift in business model successfully, if at all, and should we be unable to do
so, our investors could lose their entire investment in us.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Distributed computing and accelerating use of the Internet for information
access as well as communication have driven an exponential expansion in the use
of internetworking for more than thirty years. Most of today's networks were
engineered based upon standards and technology optimized for handling a single
data type - character data, which was previously the prevalent form of data.
However, today's sophisticated applications often require multiple data types
with speed and bandwidth requirements so high that prevailing network technology
is simply not up to the task. Often times the system upgrades required to
support these new applications is not cost justifiable, thereby slowing the rate
of adoption and utilization of advanced network applications.
New applications such as video on demand, remote synchronous data storage
mirroring, global server clustering, business continuity, disaster recovery and
distance collaboration are just a few of the high-bandwidth network applications
that can have great value to an enterprise embracing them. However, the cost to
replace or upgrade existing networks with the requisite efficient,
high-bandwidth infrastructure to support these new applications is, in many
cases, financially prohibitive. For example, a typical chassis-based upgrade,
the type of which is offered by some of our competitors, involves replacing the
power supplies, management units, backplane, fan trays and interconnect blades
in the unit being upgraded. It is not unusual for the upgrade to cost as much or
more than the original machine.
OUR STRATEGY
Our answer to the cost barrier to the adoption of high-bandwidth (full 10
Gigabit) networking is the introduction of next-generation networking products
that are fundamentally less complex, more architecturally flexible, compatible
with legacy products, and faster than traditional chassis-based alternatives.
The core philosophy underlying our technological approach is to strive to
do at Layer 2 (the Data Link Layer) in hardware what traditional network switch
architectures require Layer 3 protocols (the Network Layer) in software to
-38-
achieve. Our "distributed switch fabric" approach provides a means to achieve
seamless and coherent peer-to-peer communication between physically separated
switches at Layer 2. The result is, effectively, a single network switch
consisting of a cluster of standalone, high-performance blades physically
separated from one another by currently up to 120 kilometers per hop (in line
with what optics technology allows; this distance can be increased using lighted
fiber). This flexibility permits the use of unique network topologies that allow
for highly-robust, super-redundant networks to be designed and implemented that
provide data transport at wire-speed (the maximum speed at which the equipment
is built to operate) with the versatility to run the new latency-sensitive data
applications (such as VoIP or streaming video) at a cost-effective price without
sacrificing quality.
The ultimate goal in networking is to maximize effective transport
bandwidth without sacrificing quality. In our architecture, Quality-of-Service
is maintained by providing for intelligent management of the different data
types traveling from the same source to the same destination. Latency variations
caused by heavy traffic can be devastating to certain data types and
applications. In traditional centralized architectures, latency problems are
resolved with the costly deployment of dedicated parallel networks, increasing
system complexity and hampering system scalability. Our technology optimizes the
handling of all data packets on a single, common network by monitoring and
differentiating between data types and adjusting transport parameters
accordingly, thus assuring low latency on common transport paths.
Our proprietary Raptor Adaptive Switch Technology ("RAST") provides an
innovative new way to connect local and wide area networks, allowing users new
options in the way they design their distribution networks. Simply stated, RAST
allows discrete network elements, separated in distance by more than 1,000
kilometers, to "bind" into a common "virtual switch," providing for ultra-fast
Layer 2 transport across those distances. Compatible with existing open
standards legacy products, RAST allows customers to add significant capability
to converge voice, video, and all data types on to their existing network
without the need for expensive, end-to-end upgrades. RAST also allows
highly-resilient networks to be created at lower costs, both in terms of initial
capital expenditure and ongoing operating costs, than traditional legacy
chassis-based systems. Because RAST allows virtually any network size and
topology to be engineered from our common "building block" switches, the cost of
adoption, as well as the cost of support, is minimized.
One of the most difficult data types for networks to handle is VoIP. By
optimizing the handling of all data packet types on a given network, treating
them as though they were all video data, our architecture enables the
construction of true wire-speed networks and achieves multiple objectives for
the user community. First, it allows for voice, video, storage, and other
sophisticated applications that can improve operations and establish new revenue
streams. Second, it augments, rather than replaces, the existing internetworking
infrastructure already in place, leveraging the user's existing capital
investment and minimizing the incremental capital outlay required to support
these new applications.
We have filed patents with respect to both distributed fabric over long
range distances and for certain security features of our products. We believe
the combination of these pending patents gives us a competitive advantage
because of the added level of security these technologies provide to our
products. Users increasingly require high security for their distributed
networks and our products provide additional security because of both the
patented distributed fabric technology and the additional security features now
submitted for a patent.

OUR PRODUCTS
Our flagship product is a core switch, the Ether-Raptor-1010 ("ER-1010),
which is a combination 10Gb/GbE switch. In line with what we believe to be
current market requirements, in June 2007 we cancelled development and
production of a pure 10GbE core switch, the ER-1818, a product the release of
which we had previously postponed on several occasions. In late 2006 we started
development of an advanced version of the ER-1010, the ER-1010E, which was
finalized and became available for shipment in late March 2008. We also offer a
pure edge switch, the Ovi-Raptor-1048 ("OR-1048") and three types of NIC cards.
All our switches are based upon a common family of merchant silicon and embedded
software.
ER-1010/ER-1010E
Our ER-1010 1Gb/GbE and 10Gb/GbE network switch significantly reduces the
cost of adoption of ten gigabit networking by allowing for the construction of
an entire network from a series of our common, high performance "building
blocks." The ER-1010 consists of 24 ports of 1Gb/GbE and six ports of 10Gb/GbE.
The ER-1010 is built in a 1U high, self-powered, self-managed enclosure. Unlike
the large and complex chassis-based switches from which they evolved, our
network switches are physically placed near the devices or clients they serve.
When these switches are then subsequently connected together, either over copper
or fiber links, they collectively "bind" into a single "virtual" network switch.
This patent-pending "distributed virtual switch" architecture, filed under
Raptor Networks Technology, Inc.'s name, scales linearly, reduces inter-network
disconnects and moves data at very high speeds. Because the topology consists of
a collection of self-managed, interconnected building blocks of identical
composition, the architecture of the ER-1010 improves redundancy, keeps latency
very low across broad distances, allows for simpler management, and is priced
lower than chassis-based alternatives.
The ER-1010E enhances the ER-1010 performance substantially. The CPU
speed, which was 300 Mhz in the ER-1010, is now 1GHz in the ER-1010E, resulting
in lower latency and higher performance, including stacking capabilities. In
addition, memory has been increased by 400% and functionality of the system's
user interface has been substantially improved. We have also completed the
development of an ER-1010E version with dual redundant power supply
capabilities.
OR-1048
The OR-1048 is a 48-port 1GbE edge switch with the option for two 10GbE
uplinks and four optional 1GbE fiber ports. The OR-1048's standard features
include comprehensive management functions and Web management.

NETWORK INTERFACE CARDS (NICS)
Raptor provides three types of NIC cards providing users with 2, 4, or 6
1Gigabit Ethernet ports for hooking up personal computers and servers to the
network through Ethernet switches.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We spent $1,336,518 and $1,356,326 in 2006 and 2007, respectively, on
research and development.
We commenced our transition into the data network switching industry in
October 2003. From October 2003 until early 2005, we worked to develop our first
flagship product, the ER-1010. By the end of the third quarter of 2004, our
design team had finalized the design work on a fiber based RAST card. This card
enables all of our network switching systems employed in a network connected
through fiber to work as one "virtual chassis" system, even if such systems are
located up to 120 kilometers apart. In September and October 2004, we developed
a 10-Giga-fiber card, which enables our systems to communicate with other brands
of network switches.
During 2005, our research and development resources were mainly focused on
adding features to the ER-1010, such as Data Management Software (software
enabling analysis of data flows handled by the ER-1010) and other enriching
functions. Throughout 2005, substantial testing of the ER-1010 was carried out
internally for the purpose of ensuring that product features worked as expected
and extensive external testing was conducted to validate the quality of our
products. In the fourth quarter of 2005, certain parts of the ER-1010 were
upgraded, including the replacement of certain cables to reduce manufacturing
costs, and an upgrade to a more powerful processor. We also made significant
progress in 2005 debugging software included in the ER-1010, resulting in
substantial improvement of the ER-1010's performance in terms of reduced
failover time, increased stacking possibilities, and smooth running of jumbo
frames.
-42-
During 2006, our research and development team completed various
enhancements to the ER-1010, resulting in an improvement of the control plane
and increasing memory and processing power. We also began work on upgrading the
ER-1010 to be a more powerful product. During the second half of 2006, we
continued testing various applications to better position our products for
various markets.
In 2007, the research and development team also spent considerable time on
developing the ER-1010E, an enhanced version of the ER-1010 as described above
under the caption "Our Products." In addition, we developed a redundant power
supply version of the ER-1010E and designed various new boards, which improved
the stability of the ER-1010 and ER-1010E and suitability of our core system for
the data storage market. In 2007, our software development group upgraded our
software to include additional protocols addressing various customer-reported
issues.
In the first half of 2008, we finished the development of the ER-1010E,
including the redundant power supply version, which we made available for
shipment in late March 2008. During the remainder of 2008, we expect to begin
development on a number of new products aimed at addressing the needs of those
markets where we have been successful in 2007, such as the cable service
provider industry and the Federal Government sector. Features considered for
development are IPv6, MPLS and various security-related enhancements.
None of our research and development to date has been customer specific.
Therefore, we have not billed any of our customers for non-recurring engineering
or other research and development expenses. In the future, we expect that there
may be periodic opportunities to engage in customer specific projects for which
we can bill a portion of our research and development expenses to such
customers.
SALES AND MARKETING
We market and sell our products to customers through a combination of
direct sales to end users and sales through resellers. Our sales offices are
located at our principal headquarters in Santa Ana, California and we have sales
employees in California and Virginia. In addition, we have finder's
fee and consulting agreements in place with a number of independent third
parties to facilitate the sale of our products in other markets.
We anticipate that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may eventually
constitute another important sales channel. Potential OEMs may include our
product in their offerings to end users and system integrators. While we are
currently pursuing multiple OEM relationships, at this time none have been
secured and there can be no assurance that we will succeed in securing such
relationships.
COMPETITION
We believe the key competitive factors in today's network switching
market are, in order of priority: price, speed, capacity, level of security,
brand recognition and interoperability (compatibility with legacy products). Our
products offer architectural performance, resiliency and power efficiency
advantages at a price that cannot be matched by today's centrally-architected
legacy networks alternatives. We seek to gain and expand a market presence
through aggressive marketing and sales efforts. However, our market continues to
evolve and we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future
competitors.
-43-
We operate in a competitive industry with many established and
well-recognized competitors. In particular, Cisco Systems maintains a dominant
position in our industry and several of its products compete directly with our
products. We also compete with, among others, Extreme Networks, Nortel Networks,
Enterasys Networks, 3Com, Huawei Technologies, Force 10 Networks, Juniper
Networks and Alcatel. Most of our competitors (including all of the competitors
referenced above) have substantially greater market leverage, distribution
networks and vendor relationships, longer operating histories and industry
experience, greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources,
more name recognition and larger installed customer bases than we do and can be
expected to react strongly to our marketing efforts.
In addition, many competitors exist who, because of their substantial
resources, distribution relationships and customer base, could temporarily drop
prices to stave off a potential successful market launch by us. Other
competitive responses might include, without limitation, intense and aggressive
price competition and offers of employment to our key marketing or management
personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in the face of
increasing competition from existing or new competitors, or that competition
will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Competitive pressures and other factors, such as new product or new
technology introductions by us or our competitors, may result in price or market
share erosion that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance
that our products and services will achieve broad market acceptance or will
successfully compete with other products targeting the same customers.
-44-
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS
Our success will depend on partnerships in both technology and related
support. Our primary technology provider is Broadcom Corporation. Broadcom's 10
Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and fast Ethernet transceivers provide the
Ethernet and 10 Gigabit switching fabric in our distributed architecture.
Another major supplier is TTM Corporation, which supplies PCB fabrication and
PCB design and analyses support. Our operating system is based on WindRiver's
VxWorks, which is widely used throughout the information technology industry.
All of our manufacturing activities have been outsourced to Express
Manufacturing Inc. ("EMI"), a subcontractor located in the same vicinity as our
principal headquarters. EMI's manufacturing activities for us consist of printed
circuit board assembly and final assembly of our products. All of our inventory
is stored at our principal headquarters and we supply it to EMI as needed to
meet our orders. We currently conduct final systems testing at our principal
headquarters.
We utilize high-quality providers of merchant silicon, embedded software,
production circuit boards, and loss-free interconnects to craft our switch
products. No extraordinary investments in custom ASICs, software or
infrastructure was required to engineer our family of products. In furtherance
of our dedication to cost consciousness, in August 2004 we relocated our
operations to a Federal Empowerment Zone and local enterprise zone, directly
between EMI, our contract manufacturer, and Broadcom, our merchant silicon
provider, in order minimize facility costs and speed the design-to-production
transition of new silicon switching innovations.
EMPLOYEES
As of July 31, 2008 we had 25 full-time employees. None of our employees
are a party to any collective bargaining agreements with us. We consider our
relations with our employees to be good.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, AND LICENSING AGREEMENTS
We have nine U.S. patent applications pending, one allowed, two foreign
applications pending, and ten additional U.S. provisional applications pending
with broad claim sets covering numerous aspects of our Ethernet Distributed
Switch Fabrics. Due to delays at the patent office, the latest three
applications were filed using the new accelerated examination procedure. The
foreign applications pending are in Europe (EPO) and Japan.
While we believe that the technology encompassed in the Ethernet
Distributed Switch Fabrics patent applications is neither infringed upon by any
third party, nor infringes on any prior art of any third party, we are unable to
assess the validity, scope, or defensibility of our patent applications, and any
challenge to or claim of infringement relating to one or more of the patent
applications could materially and adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
We have not entered into any licensing or franchising agreements for
revenue generating purposes.
ORGANIZATION
We were organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 22,
2001 under the name Pacific InterMedia, Inc. We originally were engaged in the
business of offering EDGAR filing services to companies outsourcing the
formatting and electronic filing of registration statements, periodic reports
and other forms with the SEC, but generated minimal revenues from these
operations. On October 17, 2003, we completed a business combination transaction
with Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., a California corporation ("Raptor"),
whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Raptor in
a cashless common stock share-for-share exchange in which Raptor became our
wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Raptor Acquisition").
-45-
Immediately prior to the Raptor Acquisition, we had 4,034,000 shares of
common stock issued and outstanding. Of those shares, 3,000,000 were "restricted
securities," as defined in Rule 144 ("Rule 144") under the Securities Act, held
by our founder, Tina Bogani, who was our sole officer and director immediately
prior to the Raptor Acquisition. The remaining 1,034,000 shares were sold and
issued by us pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the
Commission on May 22, 2002 (Registration No. 333-74846) and were held by
approximately 25 holders as of the Raptor Acquisition.
Raptor was organized under the laws of the State of California on July 24,
2003. At the time of the Raptor Acquisition, Raptor was a start-up, development
stage company working on the design and development of data network switching
technologies based on the pre-incorporation design efforts of its founders.
Immediately prior to the Raptor Acquisition, Raptor had 19,161,256 shares of its
common stock issued and outstanding, all of which were "restricted securities"
as defined under Rule 144. Of those shares, 10,000,000 were held by Raptor's
three founders in the following amounts: Lyle Pearson, 4,000,000 shares; Eddie
Hoffman, 3,000,000 shares; and Ananda Perera, 3,000,000. The remaining 9,161,256
shares were issued to private investors and service providers in reliance upon
the exemption from registration available under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act, among others, as transactions not involving a public offering, and were
held by approximately 32 holders as of the Raptor Acquisition.
The Raptor Acquisition was structured as a share-for-share exchange
whereby we issued to Raptor's shareholders, on a one-for-one basis, an aggregate
of 19,161,256 shares of our authorized but previously unissued common stock in
exchange for the 19,161,256 shares of Raptor common stock collectively held by
them. As a material term of the Raptor Acquisition, we redeemed the 3,000,000
shares of our common stock held by Tina Bogani in consideration for us
transferring to Ms. Bogani all of the assets held by us immediately prior to the
Raptor Acquisition. As a result of these transactions, Raptor became our
wholly-owned subsidiary, with the former shareholders of Raptor owning
19,161,256, or 94.9%, of our issued and outstanding common stock.
Concurrently with the Raptor Acquisition, Tina Bogani appointed Raptor's
directors, Lyle Pearson and Edwin Hoffman, as our directors and, immediately
thereafter, Ms. Bogani resigned as our officer and director. Concurrently with
Ms. Bogani's resignation, Lyle Pearson and Edwin Hoffman, in their capacity as
directors, appointed the officers of Raptor as our officers as follows: Lyle
Pearson, President and Chief Executive Officer; Edwin Hoffman, Vice President
and Chief Technical Officer; Ananda Perera, Vice President of Engineering; and
Bob van Leyen, Chief Financial Officer.
As of the date of the Raptor Acquisition, both we and Raptor were
start-up, development stage companies and had each realized negligible revenues.
We are unable to locate any documentation or other information regarding how the
value of our common stock or Raptor's common stock was calculated in determining
that the stock be exchanged on a one-for-one basis in the Raptor Acquisition. In
addition, there was no public market for either our or Raptor's stock at the
time of the Raptor Acquisition on which to base such an evaluation. We have no
reason to believe the Raptor Acquisition was not an arms-length transaction or
that the terms of the Raptor Acquisition were not reasonable at the time the
transactions were entered into. However, we can provide no assurance that our
common stock or Raptor's common stock was not over-valued or under-valued in the
Raptor Acquisition.
-46-
Based on our review of the Raptor Acquisition documentation, our
discussions with Edwin Hoffman, Ananda Perera and Bob van Leyen (each of which
was an officer of Raptor as of the date of the Raptor Acquisition), and our
communications with various other parties related to the Raptor Acquisition, we
believe that the Raptor Acquisition was planned and structured for the most part
by our former CEO and President, Lyle Pearson, while he was CEO and President of
Raptor prior to the Raptor Acquisition.
Mr. Pearson resigned as our officer and director on March 12, 2004,
however, we were able to contact Mr. Pearson to confirm certain details
surrounding the Raptor Acquisition as follows: Mr. Pearson informed us that his
actions in conjunction with the Raptor Acquisition were based on advice he
received from one of the early investors in Raptor, Mr. Mirco Teta. Mr. Teta,
who we are informed later deceased in 2005, informed Mr. Pearson approximately
in July 2003 that he would be able to secure investors and funding for Raptor
contingent upon the consummation of Raptor's reverse merger with a publicly
traded company. Mr. Teta then introduced Mr. Pearson to Mr. Keith Webb who, in
turn, set up meetings with, and introduced Mr. Pearson to, Sierra West Capital
("Sierra") and an attorney, Mr. Randall Lanham, to assist Raptor in finding a
suitable publicly traded "shell" company with which Raptor could enter into a
reverse merger transaction.
It is our understanding that Sierra enabled Mr. Pearson to make contact
with our pre-Raptor Acquisition management, who together with Mr. Pearson and
Mr. Lanham negotiated the terms of the Raptor Acquisition. It is our belief that
Marc Bogani, brother to Tina Bogani, also had some involvement in bringing us
and Raptor together and facilitating the Raptor Acquisition. As consideration
for the services rendered by them in connection with the Raptor Acquisition, we
granted Keith Webb a total of 250,000 shares of our common stock and we granted
Jeff Chatfield (a representative of Sierra) and Mark Bogani each warrants to
purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per
share. Messrs. Chatfield and Bogani each exercised their respective warrants in
December 2003. To our knowledge, other than (i) the shares granted to Mr. Webb,
(ii) the warrants granted to Messrs. Chatfield and Bogani, (iii) the payment of
attorneys' fees, and (iv) the issuance of 19,161,256 shares of our common stock
in exchange for an equal number of shares of Raptor, no other consideration was
paid by us in conjunction with the Raptor Acquisition.
The issuances of shares and warrants in connection with the Raptor
Acquisition were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration available
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, among others, as transactions not
involving a public offering. This exemption was claimed on the basis that these
transactions did not involve any public offering and the purchasers in each
offering were accredited or sophisticated and had sufficient access to the kind
of information registration would provide. In each case, appropriate investment
representations were obtained and certificates representing the securities were
issued with restrictive legends.
Upon the completion of the Raptor Acquisition, we changed our name to
Raptor Networks Technology, Inc., terminated our EDGAR filing services
operations and, by and through our subsidiary Raptor, became engaged in the data
network switching industry. The Raptor Acquisition has been treated as a reverse
merger, with Raptor being considered the acquiring entity for accounting
purposes.
LEGAL MATTERS
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits,
disputes with third parties, actions involving allegations of discrimination, or
breach of contract actions incidental to the operation of our business. However,
we are not currently involved in any litigation which we believe could have a
materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

CODE OF ETHICS
Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form
8-K relating to amendments to or waivers from provisions of these codes that
relate to one or more of the items set forth in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-B by
describing on our Internet website, located at www.raptor-networks.com, within

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who
beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, to file initial reports of
ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. These officers,
directors and shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with
copies of all such reports that they file.
Based solely upon a review of copies of these reports furnished to us
during 2007 and thereafter, or written representations received by us from
reporting persons that no other reports were required, we believe that all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our reporting persons during
2007 were complied with.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
GENERAL
Our 2005 Stock Plan was approved by our Board of Directors on April 7,
2005, approved by our shareholders on June 9, 2005, and amended and restated as
the First Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Plan ("2005 Plan") by our Board of
Directors on June, 29, 2007. We filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with
the SEC in May 2007 to cover the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common
stock underlying options and stock purchase rights authorized for issuance under
the 2005 Plan and qualified for issuance the underlying securities with the
California Department of Corporations in July, 2007.
All stock options issued prior to shareholder approval of our 2005 Plan
were granted outside of a formal stock option plan ("Non-Plan Options"). As of
July 31, 2008, options to purchase a total of 1,145,000 shares of common stock
were outstanding under Non-Plan Options. As of July 31, 2008, there were
1,585,500 outstanding options to purchase common stock under the 2005 Plan.
Excluding these 1,585,500 outstanding options, 1,414,500 shares remain available
for issuance under the 2005 Plan, subject to the limitations of authorized
common stock. We anticipate that future stock options will be issued pursuant to
our 2005 Plan or other stock option plans as may be approved by our Board and
shareholders in the future.
-53-
SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance
under the 2005 Plan. Any shares of common stock that are subject to an award but
are not used because the terms and conditions of the award are not met, or any
shares that are used by participants to pay all or part of the purchase price of
any option, may again be used for awards under the 2005 Plan.
ADMINISTRATION
The 2005 Plan is to be administered by our Board of Directors or an
appropriate committee of our Board of Directors. It is the intent of the 2005
Plan that it be administered in a manner such that option grants and exercises
would be "exempt" under Rule 16b-3 of Exchange Act.
Our Board of Directors or an appropriate committee is empowered to select
those eligible persons to whom options shall be granted under the 2005 Plan, to
determine the time or times at which each option or stock purchase right shall
be granted, whether options will be incentive stock options ("ISOs") or
nonqualified stock options ("NQOs"), and the number of shares to be subject to
each option, and to fix the time and manner in which each such option may be
exercised, including the exercise price and option period, and other terms and
conditions of such options, all subject to the terms and conditions of the 2005
Plan. Our Board of Directors or an appropriate committee has sole discretion to
interpret and administer the 2005 Plan, and our decisions regarding the 2005
Plan are final.
The 2005 Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified,
suspended or terminated at any time and from time to time by our Board of
Directors. Neither our Board of Directors nor any committee may materially
impair any outstanding options without the express consent of the optionee or
increase the number of shares subject to the 2005 Plan, materially increase the
benefits to optionees under the 2005 Plan, materially modify the requirements as
to eligibility to participate in the 2005 Plan or alter the method of
determining the option exercise price without shareholder approval. No option
may be granted under the 2005 Plan after April 7, 2015.
OPTION TERMS
ISOs granted under the 2005 Plan must have an exercise price of not less
than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the ISO is
granted and must be exercised, if at all, within ten years from the date of
grant. In the case of an ISO granted to an optionee who owns more than 10% of
our total voting securities on the date of grant, the exercise price may not be
less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
grant, and the option period may not exceed five years. NQOs granted under the
2005 Plan must have an exercise price of not less than 85% of the fair market
value of the common stock on the date the NQO is granted.
Options may be exercised during a period of time fixed by our Board of
Directors or an appropriate committee, except that no option may be exercised
more than ten years after the date of grant. In the discretion of our Board of
Directors or an appropriate committee, payment of the purchase price for the
shares of stock acquired through the exercise of an option may be made in the
manner and for the type of consideration determined by our Board of Directors or
an appropriate committee, which may include cash, check, one or more promissory
notes, shares of our common stock, consideration received under a cashless
exercise program implemented in connection with the 2005 Plan, or any
combination of the foregoing.
-54-
STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS
Stock purchase rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in
tandem with other awards granted under the 2005 Plan and/or cash awards made
outside of the 2005 Plan. After the administrator determines that it will offer
stock purchase rights under the 2005 Plan, it must advise the offeree in writing
or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the
offer, including the number of shares that the person will be entitled to
purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which the person must accept
the offer by execution of a restricted stock purchase agreement.
Unless the administrator determines otherwise, the restricted stock
purchase agreement will grant us a repurchase option exercisable upon the
voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser's service with us for any
reason. The purchase price for shares repurchased pursuant to the restricted
stock purchase agreement will be the original price paid by the purchaser. The
purchase price may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser
to us. The repurchase option will lapse at a rate determined by the
administrator. Except with respect to shares purchased by officers, directors
and consultants, the repurchase option will in no case lapse at a rate of less
than 20% per year over five years from the date of purchase.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Holders of NQOs do not realize income as a result of a grant of the
option, but normally realize compensation income upon exercise of an NQO to the
extent that the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of
exercise of the NQO exceeds the exercise price paid. We will be required to
withhold taxes on ordinary income realized by an optionee upon the exercise of a
NQO. In the case of an optionee subject to the "short-swing" profit recapture
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the optionee realizes income
only upon the lapse of the six-month period under Section 16(b), unless the
optionee elects to recognize income immediately upon exercise of his or her
option.
Holders of ISOs will not be considered to have received taxable income
upon either the grant or the exercise of the option. Upon the sale or other
taxable disposition of the shares, long-term capital gain will normally be
recognized on the full amount of the difference between the amount realized and
the option exercise price paid if no disposition of the shares has taken place
within either two years from the date of grant of the option or one year from
the date of exercise. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the
end of the one-year or two-year periods, the holder of the ISO must include the
gain realized as ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of the fair market
value of the option stock minus the option price, or the amount realized minus
the option price. Any gain in excess of these amounts, presumably, will be
treated as capital gain. We will be entitled to a tax deduction in regard to an
ISO only to the extent the optionee has ordinary income upon the sale or other
disposition of the option shares.
Upon the exercise of an ISO, the amount by which the fair market value of
the purchased shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option price will be an
"item of tax preference" for purposes of computing the optionee's alternative
minimum tax for the year of exercise. If the shares so acquired are disposed of
prior to the expiration of the one-year and two-year periods described above,
there should be no "item of tax preference" arising from the option exercise.
Stock purchase rights will generally be taxed in the same manner as NQOs.
However, restricted stock is generally purchased upon the exercise of the stock
purchase rights. At the time of purchase, restricted stock is subject to a
"substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of Section 83 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"). As a result, the purchaser
will not recognize ordinary income at the time of purchase. Instead, the
-55-
purchaser will recognize ordinary income on the dates when the stock ceases to
be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The stock will generally cease
to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture when it is no longer subject
to our right to repurchase the stock upon the purchaser's termination of
service. At those times, the purchaser will recognize ordinary income measured
as the difference between the purchase price and the fair market value of the
stock on the date the stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture.
The purchaser may accelerate to the date of purchase his or her
recognition of ordinary income, if any, and the beginning of any capital gain
holding period by timely filing an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the
Code. In that event, the ordinary income recognized, if any, is measured as the
difference between the purchase price and the fair market value of the stock on
the date of purchase and the capital gain holding period commences on that date.
The ordinary income recognized by a purchaser who is an employee will be subject
to tax withholding by us.
THE TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION
ONLY AND IS BASED UPON PRESENT LAW. EACH HOLDER OF OPTIONS UNDER THE 2005 PLAN
SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF
THE TRANSACTION TO HIM OR HER, INCLUDING APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL,
STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN FEDERAL
OR OTHER LAWS.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporations Act (the "Colorado
Act") authorizes a Colorado corporation to indemnify any director against
liability incurred in any proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Unless limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation, Section
7-109-105 of the Colorado Act authorizes a director to apply for indemnification
to the court conducting the proceeding or another court of competent
jurisdiction. Unless limited by the articles of incorporation, Section 7-109-107
of the Colorado Act extends this same right to officers of a corporation as
well.
Unless limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation, Section
7-109-103 of the Colorado Act requires that a Colorado corporation indemnify a
director who was wholly successful in defending any proceeding to which he or
she was a party against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Unless limited by the articles of incorporation, Section 7-109-107 of the
Colorado Act extends this same protection to officers of a corporation as well.
Pursuant to Section 7-109-104 of the Colorado Act, a Colorado corporation
may advance a director's expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking and a written affirmation of his or her good
faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct specified in Section
7-109-102 described above. Unless limited by the articles of incorporation,
Section 7-109-107 of the Colorado Act extends this same protection to officers
of a corporation as well.
Regardless of whether a director or officer has the right to indemnity,
Section 7-109-108 of the Colorado Act allows a Colorado corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on such directors or officers behalf against liability
resulting from his or her role as director or officer.
-56-
Our Articles of Incorporation do not limit any of the rights afforded to
our directors and officers under the Colorado Act and Article VI of our Bylaws
states that any director or officer who is involved in litigation by reason of
his or her position with us as a director or officer shall be indemnified and
held harmless by us to the fullest extent authorized by law as it now exists or
may subsequently be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights). Our directors and officers are also presently covered
by an insurance policy indemnifying them against certain liabilities, including
certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which might be incurred by
them in such capacities and against which they may not be indemnified by us. We
believe that the indemnification and insurance provided to our directors and
officers is necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers.
To the extent indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons under
the above provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
There were no related party transactions in 2007 that require disclosure.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth, as of July 31, 2008, certain information
with respect to the beneficial ownership of our stock by (i) each of our named
executive officers, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each person known to us to
be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of each class of our outstanding voting
securities, and (iv) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and includes voting or investment
power with respect to the securities. To our knowledge, except as indicated by
footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons
named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to

stock underlying derivative securities, if any, that currently are exercisable
or convertible or are scheduled to become exercisable or convertible for or into
shares of common stock within 60 days after the date of the table are deemed to
be outstanding in calculating the percentage ownership of each listed person or
group but are not deemed to be outstanding as to any other person or group.
Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 69,811,316 shares of common stock
outstanding as of July 31, 2008.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
This prospectus covers the offer and sale by the selling security holders
of up to an aggregate of 16,300,000 shares of common stock underlying warrants.
The following table sets forth, to our knowledge, certain information about the
selling security holders as of July 31, 2008, the date of the table, based on
information furnished to us by the selling security holders. Except as indicated
in the footnotes or private placement description following the table, each
selling security holder has indicated to us that it is acting individually, not
as a member of a group, and none of the selling security holders or their
affiliates has held any position or office or had any other material
relationship with us in the past three years.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the
Commission, and includes voting or investment power with respect to the
securities. To our knowledge, except as indicated by footnote, and subject to
community property laws where applicable, the persons named in the table below
have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock
shown as beneficially owned by them. Shares of common stock underlying
derivative securities, if any, that currently are exercisable or convertible or
are scheduled to become exercisable or convertible for or into shares of common
stock within 60 days after the date of the table are deemed to be outstanding in
calculating the percentage ownership of each listed person or group but are not
deemed to be outstanding as to any other person or group. Shares shown as
beneficially owned after the offering assume that all shares being offered are
sold.
The terms of the senior convertible notes, as well as the warrants held by
the selling security holders, prohibit conversion of the convertible notes or
exercise of the warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would
result in the holder, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning in
excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. The holder may raise
or lower this 4.99% limitation to an amount not to exceed 9.99% upon 61-days'
prior written notice to us. Pursuant to this right, one of the selling security
holders, Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd., increased its beneficial ownership
limitation to 9.99% effective August 1, 2007 with respect to certain senior
convertible notes and warrants held by it.
These limitations do not preclude a holder from converting a senior
convertible note or exercising a warrant and selling shares underlying the note
or warrant in stages over time where each stage does not cause the holder and
its affiliates to beneficially own shares in excess of the limitation amount.
The number of shares shown in the third column of the table below as being
offered for sale by each selling security holder does not reflect these
limitation and thus the number of shares being offered by each selling security
holder under this prospectus is in excess of the amount of shares issuable to
that holder without such holder's waiver of the conversion and exercise
limitations discussed above. Two of the selling security holders, Cedar Hill
Capital Partners Onshore, LP, and Cedar Hill Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd.,
are affiliates and, therefore, pursuant to the terms of the beneficial ownership
limitation, their ownership of our common stock is aggregated for purposes of
calculating the limitation amount.
The shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus may be
offered for sale from time to time during the period the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part remains effective, by or for the accounts of
the selling security holders described below.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT THROUGH WHICH THE SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS OBTAINED BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP OF THE OFFERED SHARES
All of the shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus were
issued, or are issuable upon the exercise of warrants and the conversion of
senior convertible notes that were issued, in the below-described private
placement transactions. The descriptions of the agreements discussed below are
qualified by reference to the complete text of those agreements. However, the
representations, warranties, covenants and other provisions of those agreements
are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual
information about our current state of affairs. Rather, investors and the public
should look to other disclosures contained in our reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act").
FIRST FINANCING - JULY 2006/JANUARY 2007 SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING
On July 30, 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with
three institutional accredited investors, Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd.,
Cedar Hill Capital Partners Onshore, LP, and Cedar Hill Capital Partners
Offshore, Ltd. (each an "Investor" and collectively the "Investors"), in
connection with a private placement transaction providing for, among other
things, our issuance of senior convertible notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $5 million, Series L Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
17,065,623 shares of our common stock and Series M Warrants to purchase up to an
aggregate of 7,395,103 shares of our common stock. We received aggregate gross
proceeds of $5 million from the Investors from our issuance of the notes and
warrants. We also entered into a registration rights agreement with the
Investors that required us to register up to 130% of the shares underlying the
notes, Series L Warrants and Series M Warrants with the SEC.
We subsequently entered into amendment and exchange agreements, dated
January 18, 2007 and amended and restated on January 22, 2007, with the
Investors providing for certain amendments to the senior convertible notes,
Series L Warrants, Series M Warrants and registration rights agreement. These
amendments included, but were not limited to, an increase in the principal
amount of the notes from an aggregate of $5 million to an aggregate of
approximately $7.2 million, an increase in the aggregate number of shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series L Warrants by 5,688,540 (from
an aggregate of 17,065,623 shares to an aggregate of 22,754,163 shares), and a
reduction in the exercise price of the Series L Warrants and the Series M
Warrants from $0.5054 per share to $0.43948 per share. We also modified our
registration obligations to require that we initially register 15,267,292 shares
of common stock underlying the senior convertible notes with the SEC, with the
remaining shares underlying the senior convertible notes and the shares
underlying the Series L Warrants and Series M Warrants to be registered by
subsequent registration statements to be filed by us at a later date as
permitted by the SEC. We did not receive any additional cash consideration for
these amendments. The amendments provided for by the amendment and exchange
agreements were reflected by our cancellation of the existing notes, Series L
Warrants and Series M Warrants and our issuance of amended and restated senior
convertible notes, Series L-1 Warrants and Series M-1 Warrants and by entering
into an amended and restated registration rights agreement with the Investors.
In addition, the amendment and exchange agreements provided for an
additional private placement transaction with Castlerigg Master Investments
Ltd., resulting in our issuance of an additional senior convertible note in the
principal amount of $1.6 million, Series L-2 Warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 7,281,332 shares of common stock and Series M-2 Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 2,366,433 shares of common stock. We received aggregate gross
proceeds of $1.6 million from Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd. for its
issuance of the additional note and warrants.

The following is a summary of the July 30, 2006 private placement, as
amended by the January 2007 amendment and exchange agreements (as amended, the
"First Financing").
FIRST FINANCING AMENDED PURCHASE AGREEMENT
As described above, the securities purchase agreement, as amended by the
amendment and exchange agreements (as amended, the "Amended Purchase
Agreement"), provided for the issuance to the Investors of senior convertible
notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $8.8 million
(collectively, the "First Financing Notes"), Series L-1 Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 22,754,163 shares of common stock, Series M-1 Warrants to purchase

Series L-1 Warrants, Series M-1 Warrants, Series L-2 Warrants and Series M-2
Warrants collectively referred to as the "First Financing Warrants"). We
received aggregate gross proceeds of $6.6 million from the Investors for our
issuance of the First Financing Notes and First Financing Warrants.
The Amended Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties
made by us and the Investors which are typical for transactions of this type.
The representations and warranties made by us in the Amended Purchase Agreement
are qualified by reference to certain exceptions contained in disclosure
schedules delivered to the Investors. Accordingly, the representations and
warranties contained in the Amended Purchase Agreement should not be relied upon
by others who have not reviewed those disclosure schedules and the documentation
surrounding the transaction as a whole.
The Amended Purchase Agreement contains commitments by us that we will not
engage in certain activities which are typical for transactions of this type, as
well as the following covenants:
o We will not, while the First Financing Notes are outstanding,
directly or indirectly redeem or pay any cash dividend or
distribution on our common stock, without the consent of the
Investors.
o We will not issue any additional senior convertible notes or
any form of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable
securities with a price that varies or may vary with the
market price of our common stock, and we will not conduct any
securities offerings until all First Financing Additional
Registration Statements (as defined below) are declared
effective by the SEC.
o We will not file any registration statements, other than
registration statements on behalf of the Investors, with the
SEC within 120 business days following the date any First
Financing Additional Registration Statement is declared

to any solicitations, negotiations or discussion regarding any
other securities offering within 120 business days following
the date any First Financing Additional Registration Statement
is declared effective by the SEC.
o We will offer to the Investors, until the date on which none
of the First Financing Notes are outstanding, the opportunity
to participate in any of our subsequent securities offerings.
-63-
FIRST FINANCING NOTES
The First Financing Notes had an original aggregate principal amount of
approximately $8.8 million and are convertible into shares of our common stock
at an initial conversion price of $0.43948 per share, subject to adjustment (the
"First Financing Conversion Price"). The maturity date of the First Financing
Notes is July 31, 2008, subject to the right of the Investors to extend the
payment due date for any installment of principal (as described below). The
First Financing Notes bear interest at the rate of 9.25% per annum, which rate
may be adjusted to 7.0% per annum at the beginning of each calendar quarter if
certain conditions are satisfied. The interest rate is increased to 15% upon the
occurrence of an event of default (as described below).
REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL
The principal amount of the First Financing Notes is to be repaid on a
monthly basis. The amount of each payment is equal to the quotient of (a) the
aggregate outstanding principal of the First Financing Notes divided by (b) the
number of months until the maturity date. Principal payments will be paid in
shares of our common stock (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including, but not limited to, the shares of common stock issued as payment
being eligible for immediately resale pursuant to an effective registration
statement or pursuant to Rule 144 ("Rule 144") of the Securities Act) or, at our
option, in cash or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.
When we use common stock to make a principal payment, we must deliver
shares to the Investors in an amount equal to the principal payment amount
divided by the lower of the First Financing Conversion Price and a 10% discount
(which may be lowered to a 7.5% discount upon the satisfaction of certain
conditions) to the volume weighted average market price of our common stock
measured during certain periods before and after the date of payment in shares.
During the period between January 2007 through June 2008, we paid
$2,879,687 of principal through the issuance of 6,550,213 shares of common
stock. We have not paid any principal payments in cash.
Subject to our right to require the Investors to convert all or a portion
of the First Financing Notes, which is discussed below under the caption
"Conversion," an Investor may, upon notice to us, elect to defer principal
payments for a period of up to two years from the date such installment was
originally due. Pursuant to this right, Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd. has
deferred each of the principal payments due to it between June 2007 and June
2008 to a date two years from the original respective due date of such payments
and both Cedar Hill Capital Partners Onshore, LP and Cedar Hill Capital Partners
Offshore, Ltd. have deferred each of the principal payments due to them between
July 2007 and July 2008 to October 1, 2008.
PAYMENT OF INTEREST
Interest on the First Financing Notes is payable quarterly. The portion of
each interest payment that relates to principal amounts paid by us in shares of
common stock may, at our option, also be paid through our issuance of common
stock or in cash. The other portion of each interest payment must be paid in
cash. Our ability to make interest payments in shares of common stock is subject
to the same conditions for the payment of principal payments in shares of common
stock. Any shares of common stock used to pay interest are valued at the lower
of the First Financing Conversion Price and a 10% discount (which may be lowered
to a 7.5% discount upon the satisfaction of certain conditions) to the volume
weighted average market price of our common stock measured during certain
periods before and after the interest payment date.
-64-
During the period between January 2007 through June 2008, we paid
$745,441 of interest in cash and $22,787 of interest through the issuance of
51,851 shares of common stock.
CONVERSION
HOLDER CONVERSION
The First Financing Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the
holders into shares of common stock at the First Financing Conversion Price. In
June 2008, Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd. converted $171,212 in principal
and $1,917 in interest under the First Financing Notes held by them into 393,942
shares of our common stock.
COMPANY CONVERSION
Subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the shares
of common stock to be issued upon conversion being covered by an effective
registration statement, we may require the Investors to convert up to 50%,
subject to certain limitations, or 100%, of the First Financing Notes at any
time when the market price of our common stock is at or above $0.65922 per share
in the case of a conversion of up to 50% of the First Financing Notes or at or
above $0.76909 per share in the case of a conversion of up to 100% of the First
Financing Notes. Pursuant to this right, we effected a mandatory conversion of
the First Financing Notes in the aggregate amount of $1,943,215 on July 30,
2007, resulting in the issuance of 4,421,623 shares of common stock to the
Investors.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The First Financing Notes contain a variety of events of default which are
typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following events:
o The failure of any First Financing Additional Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 60 days
after the date required by the amended and restated
registration rights agreement or the lapse or unavailability
of such registration statement for more than 10 consecutive
days or more than an aggregate of 30 days in any 365-day
period (other than certain allowable grace periods).
o The suspension from trading or failure of our common stock to
be listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or another
eligible market for more than 5 consecutive trading days or
more than an aggregate of 10 trading days in any 365-day
period.
o Our failure to issue shares upon conversion of a First
Financing Note for more than 10 business days after the
relevant conversion date or a notice of our intention not to
comply with a request for conversion.
o Our failure for 10 consecutive business days to have reserved
for issuance the full number of shares issuable upon
conversion of the First Financing Notes.
Upon an event of default, the Investors have the right to redeem all or
any portion of the First Financing Notes, at a premium above the then
outstanding amount of principal, interest and fees.
-65-
CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION
The Investors may accelerate the partial payment of the First Financing
Notes by requiring that we convert, or at our option, redeem in cash, up to an
amount equal to 20% of the aggregate market trading volume of our common stock
over the prior 20-trading-day period. If we use common stock to make the
acceleration payment, we must deliver shares to the Investors in an amount equal
to the principal amount divided by the lower of the First Financing Conversion
Price and a 10% discount (which may be lowered to a 7.5% discount upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions) to the volume weighted average market price
of our common stock measured during a certain period prior to the payment date.
COVENANTS
The First Financing Notes contain a variety of obligations on our part not
to engage in certain activities, which are typical for transactions of this
type, as well as the following:
o We are required to reserve a number of shares equal to 130% of
the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the First Financing Notes and exercise of the First
Financing Warrants.
o We will not incur other indebtedness, except for certain
permitted indebtedness.
o We will not incur any liens, except for certain permitted
liens.
o We will not redeem, repurchase or pay any dividend or
distribution on our capital stock without the consent of the
Investors.
FIRST FINANCING WARRANTS
The Series L-1 Warrants and Series L-2 Warrants are immediately
exercisable and, in the aggregate, entitle the holders thereof to purchase up to
30,035,495 shares of our common stock. The Series M-1 Warrants and Series M-2
Warrants, in the aggregate, entitle the holders thereof to purchase up to
9,761,536 shares of our common stock. The Series M-1 Warrants and Series M-2
Warrants became partially exercisable as a result of our July 30, 2007 mandatory
conversion referenced under the caption "Conversion" above. The remaining Series
M-1 Warrants and Series M-2 Warrants became exercisable in connection with the
Third Financing (as defined below). All of the First Financing Warrants have an
exercise price of $0.43948 per share and expire 84 months after a registration
statement covering the shares underlying the respective First Financing Warrants
is declared effective by the SEC.
FIRST FINANCING AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
The amended and restated registration rights agreement required that we
file a registration statement with the SEC on or before January 29, 2007 (the
"First Financing Initial Registration Statement") for the resale by the
Investors of at least 15,267,292 shares of our common stock underlying the First
Financing Notes and have it declared effective on or before April 30, 2007. We
filed the First Financing Initial Registration Statement (file no. 333-140178)
with the SEC on January 24, 2007 and it was declared effective on April 30,
2007. On April 22, 2008, the remaining shares of common stock covered by
registration statement file no. 333-140178 were deregistered pursuant to a
post-effective amendment filed pursuant to the request of the Investors as
described under the caption "Third Financing Registration Rights Agreement"
under the discussion of the Third Financing below.
-66-
We also may be required to file additional registration statements (each a
"First Financing Additional Registration Statement") for the resale by the
Investors of the common stock underlying the First Financing Notes and First
Financing Warrants, which are to be filed with the SEC within 30 days of the
request of an Investor. Investor requests may be made at any time on or after
the five-month anniversary of the effective date of the most recent registration
statement covering shares underlying the First Financing Notes or First
Financing Warrants. Each First Financing Additional Registration Statement is
required cover the maximum number of shares permitted by the SEC. Each First
Financing Additional Registration Statement must be declared effective by the
SEC within 60 days of the applicable Investor request (or 90 days if there is a
full review by the SEC of the applicable First Financing Additional Registration
Statement). Our obligation to file First Financing Additional Registration
Statements continues until either all of the shares of common stock underlying
the First Financing Notes and First Financing Warrants have been covered by a
registration statement or all such shares are eligible for immediate resale by
the Investors without restriction under Rule 144.
Subject to certain grace periods, the First Financing Initial Registration
Statement and each First Financing Additional Registration Statement must remain
effective and available for use until the earlier of the date the Investors can
sell all of the securities covered by the registration statement without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and the date all such securities have been sold
pursuant to the registration statement. If we fail to meet our filing or
effectiveness requirements of the First Financing Initial Registration Statement
or any First Financing Additional Registration Statement, subject to certain
grace periods, we are required to pay liquidated damages to the Investors of
$132,000 on the date of such failure and on every 30th day thereafter until such
failure is cured. The total penalties payable by us for our failure to meet
these filing and effectiveness requirements are capped at $825,000. The amended
and restated registration rights agreement provides for customary
indemnification for us and the Investors.
SECOND FINANCING - JULY 2007 SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING
On July 31, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement and a
registration rights agreement with the Investors in connection with a private
placement transaction (the "Second Financing") providing for, among other
things, the issuance of senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $3.5 million (the "Second Financing Notes") and Series N
Warrants, Series O Warrants and Series P Warrants (collectively, the "Second
Financing Warrants"). We received aggregate gross proceeds of $3.5 million from
our issuance of the Second Financing Notes and Second Financing Warrants.
SECOND FINANCING SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The securities purchase agreement provided for the purchase by the
Investors of the Second Financing Notes and the Second Financing Warrants. The
securities purchase agreement contains representations and warranties by us and
the Investors which are typical for transactions of this type. The
representations and warranties made by us in the securities purchase agreement
are qualified by reference to certain exceptions contained in disclosure
schedules delivered to the Investors. Accordingly, the representations and
warranties contained in the securities purchase agreement should not be relied
upon by third parties who have not reviewed those disclosure schedules and the
documentation surrounding the transaction as a whole.
The securities purchase agreement contains covenants by us that are
typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following covenants:
-67-
o We will not, while the Second Financing Notes are outstanding,
directly or indirectly redeem or pay any cash dividend or
distribution on our common stock, without the consent of the
holders of the Second Financing Notes.
o For so long as any Investor beneficially owns any Second
Financing Notes, Second Financing Warrants or shares of common
stock issued upon the conversion of the Second Financing Notes
or exercise of the Second Financing Warrants, we will not
issue any form of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable
securities with a price that varies or may vary with the
market price of our commons stock.
o Until August 1, 2009, we will offer the Investors the
opportunity to participate in any subsequent securities
offerings by us.
SECOND FINANCING NOTES
REPAYMENT
The Second Financing Notes mature on August 1, 2010, which date may be
extended at the option of the Investors by up to two years. No principal
payments are due until the maturity date, upon which date the entire outstanding
principal balance and any outstanding fees or interest is due and payable in
full. The Second Financing Notes bear interest at the rate of 9.25% per annum,
which rate may be increased to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default
(as described below). Interest on the Second Financing Notes is payable
quarterly.
SECURITY INTEREST
Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, in April 2008
we entered into a security agreement granting the Investors a first-priority
perfected security interest in all of our assets.
CONVERSION
The Second Financing Notes are convertible into shares of our common
stock. The conversion price on the date of issuance was $1.2029 per share,
subject to adjustment (the "Second Financing Conversion Price"). However,
pursuant to the "full ratchet" anti-dilution provisions of Second Financing
Notes, described below under the caption "General Terms Applicable to the First,
Second, Third and Fourth Financings - Anti-Dilution Protection," our issuance of
securities in the Third Financing reduced the Second Financing Conversion Price
to $0.50 per share.
HOLDER CONVERSION
The Second Financing Notes are convertible at any time the option of the
holders into shares of common stock at the Second Financing Conversion Price.
COMPANY CONVERSION
Subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the shares
of common stock to be issued upon conversion being covered by an effective
registration statement, we may require the Investors to convert up to 50%,
subject to certain limitations, or up to 100%, of the Second Financing Notes at
any time when the market price of our common stock is at or above $1.80435 per
share in the case of a conversion of up to 50% of the Second Financing Notes or
at or above $2.105075 per share in the case of a conversion of up to 100% of the
Second Financing Notes.
-68-
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The Second Financing Notes contain a variety of events of default which
are typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following events:
o The failure of any registration statement required by the
Second Financing registration rights agreement to be declared
effective by the Commission within 60 days after the date
required by the registration rights agreement or the lapse or
unavailability of any such registration statement for more
than 10 consecutive days or more than an aggregate of 30 days
in any 365-day period (other than certain allowable grace
periods).
o The suspension from trading or failure of our common stock to
be listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or another
eligible market for more than 5 consecutive trading days or
more than an aggregate of 10 trading days in any 365-day
period.
o Our failure to issue shares upon conversion of a Second
Financing Note for more than 10 business days after the
relevant conversion date or a notice of our intention not to
comply with a request for conversion.
o Our failure for 10 consecutive business days to have reserved
for issuance the full number of shares issuable upon
conversion of the Second Financing Notes.
o Our failure to maintain the Investors' first priority security
interest in all of our assests.
Upon an event of default, the Investors have the right to redeem all or
any portion of the Second Financing Notes at a premium above the then
outstanding amount of principal, interest and fees.
CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION
At any time on or after August 1, 2010, the Investors may accelerate the
partial payment of the Second Financing Notes by requiring that we convert, or
at our option, redeem in cash, up to an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate
dollar trading volume of our common stock over the prior 20 trading day period.
When we use common stock to make the acceleration payment, we must deliver
shares to the Investors in an amount equal to the principal amount divided by
the lower of the Second Financing Conversion Price and a 10.0% discount to the
volume weighted average market price of our common stock during a measuring
period prior to the payment date; provided that the discount will be reduced to
7.5% if the volume weighted average market price is above $1.00 per share.
COVENANTS
The Second Financing Notes contain a variety of covenants by us that are
typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following covenants:
o We will at all times reserve a number of shares equal to 130%
of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Second Financing Notes and exercise of the
Second Financing Warrants.
o We will not incur other indebtedness, except for certain
permitted indebtedness.
o We will not incur any liens, except for certain permitted
liens.

SECOND FINANCING WARRANTS
When originally issued, the Series N Warrants, Series O Warrants and
Series P Warrants were exercisable for up to an aggregate of 2,909,636,
1,891,263 and 1,246,987 shares of our common stock, respectively, and each
carried an initial exercise price of $1.2029 per share. However, pursuant to the
"full ratchet" anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, described below under
the caption "General Terms Applicable to the First, Second, Third and Fourth
Financings - Anti-Dilution Protection," our subsequent issuance of securities in
the Third Financing resulted in a reduced exercise price of $0.50 per share and
an increased number of shares issuable under the warrants as follows: N Warrants
- - 7,000,000 shares, O Warrants - 4,550,000, P Warrants - 3,000,000.
The N Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of
August 1, 2016 or seven years after the date all of the shares issuable upon
conversion of the Second Financing Notes have been included on an effective
registration statement. The O Warrants only become exercisable if we effect a
mandatory conversion of the Second Financing Notes, and then only to the extent
of 65% of the number of shares issued upon each mandatory conversion. The O
Warrants expire on the earlier of August 1, 2016 or seven years after the date
all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Second Financing Notes have
been included on an effective registration statement. The P Warrants are
immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of the maturity of the Second
Financing Notes and the date we have satisfied our payment obligations under the
Second Financing Notes.
SECOND FINANCING REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
The registration rights agreement granted the Investors holding a majority
of the securities covered by the registration rights agreement the right to
request that we withdraw the First Financing Initial Registration Statement
(file no. 333-140178). A right to request the withdrawal of the First Financing
Initial Registration Statement was also granted to the Investors under the Third
Financing registration rights agreement. As described under the caption "Third
Financing Registration Rights Agreement" below, an Investor exercised such right
under the Third Financing registration rights agreement and the remaining shares
of common stock covered by registration statement file no. 333-140178 were
deregistered effective April 22, 2008.
The Second Financing registration rights agreement provides that, at any
time after the withdrawal or deregistration of registration statement file no.
333-140178, any Investor may request that we file a new registration statement
("Second Financing Initial Registration Statement") covering shares of common
stock underlying the Second Financing Notes and Second Financing Warrants up to
the maximum amount permitted by the SEC. We are required to file the Second
Financing Initial Registration Statement with the SEC within 30 days of
receiving the Investor request, provided that the filing date will not be
earlier than (i) the date that is 30 days after substantially all of the shares
covered by the First Financing Initial Registration Statement have been sold,
and (ii) the date that is 30 days after the withdrawal of the First Financing
Initial Registration Statement is effective with the SEC.
If all of the shares of common stock underlying the Second Financing Notes
and Second Financing Warrants are not covered by the Second Financing Initial
Registration Statement (whether by decision or rule of the SEC or for another
reason), upon the request of an Investor we are required to file additional
registration statements (each a "Second Financing Additional Registration
Statement") to cover the remaining shares underlying the Second Financing Notes
and Second Financing Warrants up to the maximum amount permitted by the SEC. The
Investors may make a request for the filing of a Second Financing Additional
Registration Statement any time on or after the later of (i) five months after
the effective date of the most recent registration statement covering shares
underlying the Second Financing Notes or Second Financing Warrants and (ii) 30
-70-
days after the date substantially all of the shares covered by the most recent
registration statement covering shares underlying the Second Financing Notes or
Second Financing Warrants have been sold. We are required to file each Second
Financing Additional Registration Statement within 30 days of receiving the
Investor request. Our obligation to file Second Financing Additional
Registration Statements continues until all of the shares of common stock
underlying the Second Financing Notes and Second Financing Warrants have been
covered by one or more registration statements declared effective by the SEC or
until all such shares are eligible for immediate resale by the Investors without
restriction under Rule 144.
The Second Financing Initial Registration Statement and each Second
Financing Additional Registration Statement must be declared effective by the
SEC within 60 days (or within 90 days if the registration statement is reviewed
by the SEC) of their respective filing date or filing deadline, whichever comes
first. Subject to certain grace periods, the Second Financing Initial
Registration Statement and each Second Financing Additional Registration
Statement must remain effective and available for use until the earlier of the
date the Investors can sell all of the securities covered by the registration
statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and the date all such
securities have been sold pursuant to the registration statement. If we fail to
meet the filing or effectiveness requirements of the Second Financing Initial
Registration Statement or any Second Financing Additional Registration
Statement, subject to certain grace periods, we are required to pay liquidated
damages of $70,000 on the date of such failure and on every 30th day thereafter
until such failure is cured. The total penalties payable by us for our failure
to meet these filing and effectiveness requirements are capped at $437,500. The
registration rights agreement provides for customary indemnification for us and
the Investors.
THIRD FINANCING - APRIL 2008 SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING
On March 31, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement and a
registration rights agreement with the Investors in connection with a private
placement transaction (the "Third Financing") providing for, among other things,
the issuance of 3,125,000 million shares of our common stock (the "Third
Financing Stock"), senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $3.125 million (the "Third Financing Notes") and Series Q Warrants to
purchase shares of our common stock (the "Third Financing Warrants"). We
received aggregate gross proceeds of $3.125 million from the Third Financing,
which closed on April 1, 2008.
THIRD FINANCING SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The securities purchase agreement provided for the purchase by the
Investors of the Third Financing Stock, Third Financing Notes and Third
Financing Warrants. The securities purchase agreement contains representations
and warranties by us and the Investors which are typical for transactions of
this type. The representations and warranties made by us in the securities
purchase agreement are qualified by reference to certain exceptions contained in
disclosure schedules delivered to the Investors. Accordingly, the
representations and warranties contained in the securities purchase agreement
should not be relied upon by third parties who have not reviewed those
disclosure schedules and the documentation surrounding the transaction as a
whole.
The securities purchase agreement contains covenants by us that are
typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following covenants:
o We will not, while the Third Financing Notes are outstanding,
directly or indirectly redeem or pay any cash dividend or
distribution on our common stock, without the consent of the
holders of the Third Financing Notes.
-71-
o For so long as any Investor beneficially owns any Third
Financing Notes, Third Financing Warrants or shares of common
stock issued upon the conversion of the Third Financing Notes
or exercise of the Third Financing Warrants, we will not issue
any form of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable
securities with a price that varies or may vary with the
market price of our common stock.
o Other than limited exceptions pursuant to the registration
rights agreement, we will not file any registration statements
other than on behalf of the Investors.
o While the Third Financing Notes are outstanding, we will not
conduct any other securities offerings or be party to any
solicitations, negotiations or discussion regarding any other
securities offerings, except for offerings solely in which
each Investor was given the opportunity to participate.
THIRD FINANCING NOTES
REPAYMENT
The Third Financing Notes mature on March 31, 2010, which date may be
extended at the option of the Investors by up to two years. No principal
payments are due until the maturity date, upon which date the entire outstanding
principal balance and any outstanding fees or interest is due and payable in
full. The Third Financing Notes bear interest at the rate of 10.00% per annum,
which rate may be increased to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default
(as described below). Interest in the amount of $625,000, representing two years
of interest, was prepaid by us in cash to the Investors on the April 1, 2008
closing of the Third Financing.
SECURITY INTEREST
Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, we entered
into a security agreement granting the Investors a first-priority perfected
security interest in all of our assets.
CONVERSION
The Third Financing Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the
holders into shares of our common stock. The conversion price on the date of
issuance was $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the "Third Financing
Conversion Price"). However, pursuant to the "full ratchet" anti-dilution
provisions of Third Financing Notes, described below under the caption "General
Terms Applicable to the First, Second, Third and Fourth Financings -
Anti-Dilution Protection," our issuance of securities in the Fourth Financing
reduced the Third Financing Conversion Price to $0.50 per share.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The Third Financing Notes contain a variety of events of default which are
typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following events:
o The failure of any registration statement required by the
Third Financing registration rights agreement to be declared
effective by the SEC within 60 days after the date required by
the registration rights agreement or the lapse or
unavailability of any such registration statement for more
than 10 consecutive days or more than an aggregate of 30 days
in any 365-day period (other than certain allowable grace
periods).
-72-
o The suspension from trading or failure of our common stock to
be listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or another
eligible market for more than 5 consecutive trading days or
more than an aggregate of 10 trading days in any 365-day
period.
o Our failure to issue shares upon conversion of a Third
Financing Note for more than 10 business days after the
relevant conversion date or a notice of our intention not to
comply with a request for conversion.
o Our failure for 10 consecutive business days to have reserved
for issuance the full number of shares issuable upon
conversion in accordance to the terms of the Third Financing
Notes.
o Our failure to maintain the Investors' first priority security
interest in all of our assets.
o We receive an oral or written request for information from the
Enforcement Division of the SEC, or receive written notice
that the SEC has commenced a formal investigation of, or
enforcement action against, us or our subsidiary, officers, or
directors.
Upon an event of default, the Investors have the right to redeem all or
any portion of the Third Financing Notes at a premium above the then outstanding
amount of principal, interest and fees.
CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION
At any time on or after September 30, 2008, the Investors may accelerate
the partial payment of the Third Financing Notes by requiring that we convert,
or at our option, redeem in cash, up to an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate
dollar trading volume of our common stock over the prior 20 trading day period.
When we use common stock to make the acceleration payment, we must deliver
shares to the Investors in an amount equal to the principal amount divided by
the lower of the Third Financing Conversion Price and a 15.0% discount to the
volume weighted average market price of our common stock during a measuring
period prior to the payment date.
COVENANTS
The Third Financing Notes contain a variety of covenants by us that are
typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following covenants:
o We will at all times reserve a number of shares equal to 130%
of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Third Financing Notes and exercise of the
Third Financing Warrants.
o We will not incur other indebtedness, except for certain
permitted indebtedness.
o We will not incur any liens, except for certain permitted
liens.
THIRD FINANCING WARRANTS
The Third Financing Warrants initially provided for the purchase of up to
an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise
price of $1.00 per share. However, pursuant to the "full ratchet" anti-dilution
provisions of the Third Financing Warrants, described below under the caption
"General Terms Applicable to the First, Second, Third and Fourth Financings -
Anti-Dilution Protection," our subsequent issuance of securities in the Forth
Financing increased the number of shares issuable under the Third Financing
-73-
Warrants to 12,500,000 and resulted in a reduced exercise price per share equal
to the lower of (i) $0.50 and (ii) 75% of the weighted average market price of
our common stock during certain measuring periods prior to the date a
registration statement covering the shares underlying the Third Financing
Warrants is declared effective by the SEC. In addition, as part of the Fourth
Financing, the Third Financing Warrants were amended to permit us to require, no
more than once during any thirty day period, the Investors to effect a cash
exercise of the Third Financing Warrants, provided that the number of shares of
our common stock into which we can require the Third Financing Warrants to be
exercised does not exceed 15% of the 20-day trading volume and on each of the 20
consecutive trading days prior to the date of delivery of the notice of forced
exercise the weighted average market price of our common stock exceeds the
exercise price of the Third Financing Warrants. The Third Financing Warrants are
immediately exercisable and expire on March 31, 2017.
THIRD FINANCING REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
The Third Financing registration rights agreement granted the Investors
holding a majority of the securities covered by the registration rights
agreement the right to request that we withdraw the First Financing Initial
Registration Statement (file no. 333-140178). The Investor holding a majority of
such securities exercised this right on April 10, 2008, ultimately resulting in
the deregistration of the remaining shares of common stock covered by the First
Financing Initial Registration Statement pursuant to a post-effective amendment
declared effective by the SEC on April 22, 2008.
The Third Financing registration rights agreement provides that, at any
time after the withdrawal or deregistration of registration statement file no.
333-140178, any Investor may request that we file a new registration statement
("Third Financing Initial Registration Statement") covering the Third Financing
Stock and the shares of common stock underlying the Third Financing Notes and
Third Financing Warrants up to the maximum amount permitted by the SEC. We are
required to file the Third Financing Initial Registration Statement with the SEC
within 30 days of receiving the Investor request, provided that the filing date
will not be earlier than (i) the date that is 30 days after substantially all of
the shares covered by the First Financing Initial Registration Statement have
been sold, and (ii) the date that is 30 days after the withdrawal of the First
Financing Initial Registration Statement is effective with the SEC.
If all of the Third Financing Stock and shares of common stock underlying
the Third Financing Notes and Third Financing Warrants are not covered by the
Third Financing Initial Registration Statement (whether by decision or rule of
the SEC or for another reason), upon the request of an Investor we are required
to file additional registration statements (each a "Third Financing Additional
Registration Statement") to cover the remaining shares of Third Financing Stock
and remaining shares of common stock underlying the Third Financing Notes and
the Third Financing Warrants up to the maximum amount permitted by the SEC. The
Investors may make a request for the filing of a Third Financing Additional
Registration Statement any time on or after the later of (i) five months after
the effective date of the most recent registration statement covering shares
underlying the Third Financing Notes or Third Financing Warrants and (ii) 30
days after the date substantially all of the shares covered by the most recent
registration statement covering shares underlying the Third Financing Notes or
Third Financing Warrants have been sold. We are required to file each Third
Financing Additional Registration Statement within 30 days of receiving the
Investor request. Our obligation to file Third Financing Additional Registration
Statements continues until all of the Third Financing Stock and the shares of
common stock underlying the Third Financing Notes and Third Financing Warrants
have been covered by one or more registration statements declared effective by
the SEC or until all of the Third Financing Stock and the shares of common stock
underlying the Third Financing Notes and Third Financing Warrants not previously
registered may be sold by the Investors without the requirement to be in
compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation
pursuant to Rule 144.]
-74-
The Third Financing Initial Registration Statement and each Third
Financing Additional Registration Statement must be declared effective by the
SEC within 60 days (or within 90 days if the registration statement is reviewed
by the SEC) of their respective filing date or filing deadline, whichever comes
first. Subject to certain grace periods, the Third Financing Initial
Registration Statement and each Third Financing Additional Registration
Statement must remain effective and available for use until the earlier of the
date the Investors can sell all of the securities covered by the registration
statement without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and
otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and the date
all such securities have been sold pursuant to the registration statement. If we
fail to meet the filing or effectiveness requirements of the Third Financing
Initial Registration Statement or any Third Financing Additional Registration
Statement, subject to certain grace periods, we are required to pay liquidated
damages of $62,500 on the date of such failure and on every 30th day thereafter
until such failure is cured. The total penalties payable by us for our failure
to meet these filing and effectiveness requirements are capped at $390,625. The
Third Financing registration rights agreement provides for customary
indemnification for us and the Investors.
FOURTH FINANCING - JULY 2008 SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING

date the Investors can sell all of the securities covered by the registration
statement without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and
otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and the date
all such securities have been sold pursuant to the registration statement. If we
fail to meet the filing or effectiveness requirements of the Fourth Financing
Initial Registration Statement or any Fourth Financing Additional Registration
Statement, subject to certain grace periods, we are required to pay liquidated
damages of $25,000 on the date of such failure and on every 30th day thereafter
until such failure is cured. The total penalties payable by us for our failure
to meet these filing and effectiveness requirements are capped at $156,250. The
registration rights agreement provides for customary indemnification for us and
the Investors.
GENERAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO THE FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH FINANCINGS
In addition to the terms described above, the following provisions apply
equally to the First Financing Notes, Second Financing Notes, Third Financing
Notes, and Fourth Financing Notes (collectively, the "Notes") and to the First
Financing Warrants, Second Financing Warrants, Third Financing Warrants, and
Fourth Financing Warrants (collectively, the "Warrants").
FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS
We may not enter into a transaction involving a change of control unless
the successor entity is a public company and it assumes our obligations under
the Notes, Warrants and related transaction documents. Upon the occurrence of a
permitted transaction involving a change of control:
-78-
o the holders of the Notes have the right, among others, to
force the redemption of the Notes at a premium above the then
outstanding amount of principal, interest and fees; and
o the holders of the Warrants have the right, among others, to
have the Warrants repurchased for a purchase price equal to
the Black-Scholes value of the then unexercised portion of the
Warrants.
PARTICIPATION RIGHTS
The holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any dividends paid or
distributions made to the holders of our common stock on an "as if converted" to
common stock basis.
PURCHASE RIGHTS
If we issue stock, options, convertible securities, warrants or similar
securities to holders of our common stock, the holders of the Notes and Warrants
have the right to acquire the same as if they had converted their Notes or
exercised their Warrants.
ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION
The conversion price of the Notes is subject to adjustment for stock
splits, combinations or similar events. The conversion price of the Notes is
also subject to a "full ratchet" anti-dilution adjustment which, in the event
that we issue or are deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower
than the then applicable conversion price, immediately reduces the conversion
price to equal the price at which we issue or are deemed to have issued common
stock.
The exercise price of the Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustments for stock splits,
combinations or similar events. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants
and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to a
"full ratchet" anti-dilution adjustment which, in the event that we issue or are
deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower than the then
applicable exercise price, immediately reduces the exercise price of the
Warrants to equal the price at which we issue or are deemed to have issued our
common stock and increases the number of shares exercisable under the Warrants
by a ratio equal to the old exercise price divided by the new reduced exercise
price.
LIMITATIONS ON CONVERSION/EXERCISE
The Notes and Warrants contain certain limitations on conversion or
exercise. For example, they provide that no conversion or exercise may occur if,
after giving effect to the conversion or exercise, the holder, together with its
affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares
of common stock. This percentage may, however, be raised or lowered to an amount
not to exceed 9.99% at the option of the holder upon at least 61-days' prior
notice to us. Pursuant to this right, Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd.
increased its beneficial ownership limitation to 9.99% with respect to the First
Financing Notes and First Financing Warrants effective August 1, 2007.
-79-
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering shares of common stock previously issued, shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, and shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of principal and/or interest of senior secured
convertible notes to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the
holders of the shares, warrants and convertible notes from time to time after
the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the
sale by the selling security holders of the shares of common stock. We will bear
all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of
common stock.
The selling security holders may sell all or a portion of the shares of
common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time
directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the
shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the
selling security holders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or
commissions or agent's commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in
one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the
time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at
negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may
involve crosses or block transactions,
o on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the
securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
o in the over-the-counter market;
o in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the
over-the-counter market;
o through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an
options exchange or otherwise;
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o short sales;
o sales pursuant to Rule 144;
o broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
o a combination of any such methods of sale; and
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
-80-
If the selling security holders effect such transactions by selling shares
of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders or
commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act
as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or
commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in
excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection
with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling security
holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in
turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of
hedging in positions they assume. The selling security holders may also sell
shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this
prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in
connection with such short sales. The selling security holders may also loan or
pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such
shares.
The selling security holders may pledge or grant a security interest in
some or all of the convertible notes, warrants or shares of common stock owned
by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations,
the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock
from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this
prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling security holders to include the
pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling security holders
under this prospectus. The selling security holders also may transfer and donate
the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees,
donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial
owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling security holders and any broker-dealer participating in the
distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any
discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a
particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus
supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate
amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering,
including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts,
commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling security
holders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or
paid to broker-dealers.
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may
be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless
such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an
exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling security holder will sell any
or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling security holders and any other person participating in such
distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including,
without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing
of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling
security holders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also
restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of
common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of
common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of
common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
-81-
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock
pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be approximately
$125,000 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange
Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue
sky" laws; provided, however, that a selling security holder will pay all
underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the
selling security holders against liabilities, including some liabilities under
the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or
the selling security holders will be entitled to contribution. We may be
indemnified by the selling security holders against civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written
information furnished to us by the selling security holder specifically for use
in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights
agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.
ONCE SOLD UNDER THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, OF WHICH THIS PROSPECTUS
FORMS A PART, THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL BE FREELY TRADABLE IN
THE HANDS OF PERSONS OTHER THAN OUR AFFILIATES.
-82-
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to
200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock, no par value per share. As of July 31, 2008, there
were 69,811,316 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, no shares of
preferred stock issued and outstanding, and no series or rights, powers or
preferences of our preferred stock have been established.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including
the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights.
Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to
vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for
election, if they so choose. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to
any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to
receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board of
Directors out of legally available funds. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in
the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the
payment of all of our debts and our other liabilities, subject to the prior
rights of any preferred stock then outstanding. Holders of our common stock have
no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights and there are no
redemption or sinking funds provisions applicable to our common stock. All
outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock is
required to designate one or more series of preferred stock and to fix the
number of shares, designations, preferences, powers, and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights and the qualifications or
restrictions thereof. Thereafter, our Board of Directors has the authority to
issue the preferred stock from time to time without any further action by our
stockholders. The preferences, powers, rights and restrictions of different
series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts
payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions,
sinking fund provisions, and purchase funds and other matters. The issuance of
preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for
distribution to holders of our common stock or adversely affect the rights and
powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock, and may
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our
Company. The existence of authorized but unissued preferred stock may enable our
Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to
obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest
or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations,
our Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in our
best interests, our Board of Directors could cause shares of preferred stock of
a series previously approved by our stockholders to be issued without further
stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that
might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent
stockholder or stockholder group.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is First American
Stock Transfer. Its telephone number is (602) 485-1346.
-83-
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus
will be passed upon by Moye White LLP, Denver, Colorado.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of Raptor Networks Technology,
Inc., as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 (restated), included in
this prospectus and in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part, have been audited by Comiskey & Company, P.C., independent registered
public accounting firm, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their
report thereon appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, and are included in
reliance upon such report, given on the authority of Comiskey & Company, P.C.,
as experts in auditing and accounting.
The consolidated financial statements of Raptor Networks Technology,
Inc., as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in this
prospectus and in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part,
have been audited by Mendoza Berger & Company, LLP, independent registered
public accounting firm, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their
report thereon appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, and are included in
reliance upon such report, given on the authority of Mendoza Berger & Company,
LLP, as experts in auditing and accounting.
CHANGE IN CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On July 6, 2007, we notified Comiskey & Company, P.C. ("Comiskey"), the
independent registered public accounting firm that was engaged as our principal
accountant to audit our consolidated financial statements, that we intended to
engage new certifying accountants and thereby were dismissing Comiskey. The
reason for the change was to allow us to engage a larger firm with offices in
our local area that we believe has greater resources to provide us with the
auditing and tax services we require.
The audit report dated March 17, 2007, except for paragraph 7 of Note 1,
which is dated August 14, 2007, of Comiskey on our consolidated financial
statements and consolidated financial statement schedules as of and for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principles, except that the audit report contained a
separate paragraph stating:
The accompanying financial statements are presented assuming we will
continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial
statements, we have sustained accumulated losses from operations totaling more
than $60,700,000 at December 31, 2006. This condition, and the fact that we have
had no significant sales of our products to date, raises substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to address these
conditions are also set forth in Note 1 to the financial statements. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments which might be
necessary if we are unable to continue.
During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the subsequent
interim period through July 6, 2007, there were no disagreements with Comiskey
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which disagreements, if not resolved
to Comiskey's satisfaction, would have caused Comiskey to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.
Also on July 6, 2007, we engaged Stonefield Josephson, Inc. ("Stonefield")
as our new independent auditors.
-84-
On October 1, 2007, we notified Stonefield Josephson, Inc. ("Stonefield"),
the independent registered public accounting firm that was engaged as our
principal accountant to audit our consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, that we intended to engage new certifying
accountants and therefore were dismissing Stonefield.
Our decision to change accountants was approved by our audit committee and
board of directors, based on our desire to engage an alternative firm that we
believe has similar resources to provide us with the auditing and tax services
we require on a basis that we believe is more cost-effective for an entity with
our financial profile.
During the interim period from July 6, 2007 through October 1, 2007, there
were no disagreements with Stonefield on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which
disagreements, if not resolved to Stonefield's satisfaction, would have caused
Stonefield to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with the report that we would have requested Stonefield to render in
the future on our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2007.
Also on October 1, 2007, we engaged Mendoza Berger & Company, L.L.P.
("Mendoza") as our new independent auditors. We have not consulted with Mendoza
during the two most recent fiscal years and through October 1, 2007 regarding
the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated
transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our
consolidated financial statements or as to any disagreement or event as
described in Item 304 (a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-B under the Securities Act.

1. GENERAL
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Raptor
Networks Technology, Inc. (the "Company") without audit (unless otherwise
indicated) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules
and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements
include all of the adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The
December 31, 2007 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited
financial statements as of December 31, 2007. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements at December 31,
2007 included in the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB. Results
of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year
or for any other period.
GOING CONCERN
- -------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The
company has incurred a net loss of $5,295,258 and $19,237,555 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The Company used $3,432,312 cash
in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, the Company
also has an accumulated deficit of $89,435,877 and a working capital deficit of
$30,484,863 as of June 30, 2008, of which $25,787,454 relates to the fair value
of derivative financial instruments.
The above factors, among others, raise substantial doubts about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company's financial resources are
insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute
its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict
whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or
another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional
capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these
events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion,
repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive
pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on
its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and
reclassification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
Should financing sources fail to materialize, management would seek alternate
funding sources such as the sale of common and/or preferred stock, the issuance
of debt, or other means. The Company plans to attempt to address its working
capital deficiency by increasing its sales, maintaining strict expense controls
and seeking strategic alliances.
In the event that these financing sources do not materialize, or the Company is
unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and profits, the Company will be forced
to further reduce its costs, may be unable to repay its debt obligations as they
become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances
would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. Additionally, if these funding sources or
increased revenues and profits do not materialize, and the Company is unable to
secure additional financing, the Company could be forced to reduce or curtail
its business operations unless it is able to engage in a merger or other
corporate finance transaction with a better capitalized entity.
For additional information about our ability to continue as a going concern, see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis" on page 1 of this 10-Q.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
- -----------------
Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the
Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------------------------------------------
For a complete discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies,
please refer to the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007.
EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
- ----------------------
The Company accounts for modifications of the terms of its convertible debt
pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-19, "Debtor's
Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments" and EITF Issue
No. 06-6, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible
Debt Instruments." A modification of debt is considered substantial if any of
the following criteria are met:
1. The present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new
debt instrument is at least 10% different from the present
value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the
original instrument;
2. The fair value of the embedded conversion option immediately
before and after the modification is at least 10% of the
carrying amount of the original debt instrument immediately
prior to the modification; or
3. The modification adds a substantive conversion option or
eliminates a conversion option that was substantive at the
date of the modification.
Modifications of debt that are considered substantial are accounted for as an
extinguishment of debt whereby the new debt instrument is initially recorded at
fair value. The change in the fair value plus any fees paid or received
associated with the old debt instrument are recorded as gain or loss on the
extinguishment debt and are included in other income (expense) in the statements
of operations. If the modification is not substantial, a new effective rate is
calculated and any fees paid or received associated with the old debt are
amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the remaining term of the
debt.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- --------------------------------
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Statement No. 157, "Fair
Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157
were adopted January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP") No. 157-2 "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP FAS
157-2"). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually). The provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 are effective for the Company's
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the
impact the adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 will have on its results or operations,
financial position or cash flows.
FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
under FAS 157 are described below:
F-7
RAPTOR NETWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible
at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that
are observable, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are
both significant to the fair value measurement and
unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities
measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by
FAS 157, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
FAIR VALUE AT JUNE 30, 2008

TOTAL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3

=========== ============ ========= ===========
$25,787,454 $ -- $ -- $25,787,454
=========== ============ ========= ===========
The Company's cash instrument is classified within Level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash
instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets are
primarily money market securities and U.S. Treasury securities.
The Company's detachable warrant and conversion option liabilities are valued
using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value
similar instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by
its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of
inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit
spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. These financial
liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot
generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment. Such
instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the
Company's Level 3 financial liabilities (detachable warrants and conversion
option liabilities) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159"). FAS 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value, with the objective of improving financial reporting by mitigating
volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. The provisions of FAS 159 were adopted January 1, 2008. The Company
did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or
liabilities, and therefore, the adoption of FAS 159 had no impact on the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 ("FAS 161"), DISCLOSURES ABOUT
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT
NO. 133. FAS 161 establishes disclosure requirements for derivative instruments
and hedging activities and amends and expands the disclosure requirements of
SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. This
statement requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for
using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and of
gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk
related contingent features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 is effective for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Disclosures
for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption are
encouraged, but not required. In the years after initial adoption, comparative
disclosures are required only for periods subsequent to initial adoption. The
Company has not yet determined the impact the adoption of FAS 161 will have on
its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 ("FAS 162"), THE HIERARCHY OF
GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. FAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements that are presented in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. FAS
162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, THE MEANING OF
PRESENT FAIRLY IN CONFORMITY WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. The
adoption of FAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
2005 STOCK PLAN
The Company has one stock-based compensation plan, the 2005 Stock Plan (the
"2005 Plan"). Under the 2005 Plan, 3,000,000 shares of stock were reserved for
issuance to eligible employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants.
In May 2007, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the SEC
to cover the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock underlying
options and stock purchase rights authorized for issuance under the 2005 Plan.
The 2005 Plan is administered by the board of directors or committee of the
board of directors, who have sole discretion to set vesting, expiration and
F-9
RAPTOR NETWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
other terms of awards under the 2005 Plan. As of June 30, 2008, the 2005 Plan
had a total of 1,335,500 options outstanding and 1,664,500 shares available for
future grants.
NON-PLAN OPTIONS
Prior to approval of the 2005 Plan, the Company granted stock options
out-of-plan. These non-plan options provided for the periodic issuance of stock
options to employees and non-employee members of the board of directors. The
vesting period for the non-plan stock options was over a three-year term,
commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The maximum
contractual term of stock options granted under these out-of-plan options was
eight years. As of June 30, 2008, there were 1,145,000 non-plan options
outstanding.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value
recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 123 (revised 2004), "Shared Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123(R)") using the
Black-Scholes Option pricing model. Under SFAS No. 123(R), all stock-based
compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the
award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
The following table sets forth the weighted-average key assumptions used to
determine the fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended
June 30:
2008 2007
---- ----
Dividend Yield 0.00% 0.00%
Risk-Free Interest Rate 3.25% 4.56%
Expected Life 5.00 years 3.22 years
Expected Volatility 109.11% 115.71%
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized $44,598
and $176,729, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs as a result of the
issuance of options to employees. These costs were calculated in accordance with
SFAS No. 123(R) and are reflected in operating expenses.
Stock option activity was as follows for the six months ended June 30:

4. SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Company entered into three separate securities purchase agreements (the
"2006 SPA," the "2007 SPA" and the "2008 SPA," collectively the "SPAs") with
three institutional investors in connection with private placement transactions
that provided for, among other things, the issuance of senior convertible notes
(the "2006 Notes," the "2007 Notes" and the "2008 Notes," collectively the
"Notes"), warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the "2006 Warrants," the
"2007 Warrants" and "the 2008 Warrants," collectively the "Warrants") and the
issuance of common stock (the "2008 Stock"). Following is a summary of the

The Company allocated the proceeds of the 2008 Notes to the individual financial
instruments included in the transaction based on their relative estimated fair
values as follows:
Total proceeds $ 3,125,000

-----------
6,527,813
Allocation to debt discount (3,125,000)
-----------
Cost of financing senior convertible notes $ 3,402,813
===========
The fair value of the common stock was based on the closing market price of the
Company's common stock on the date of the transaction. The fair values of the
warrants and conversion options were based on the Black-Scholes Option pricing
model. All of the SPAs require the Company to maintain authorized shares of at
least 130% of the sum of the maximum number of common shares issuable upon
conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants.
All of the SPAs contain registration rights agreements which require the Company
to file registration statements with the SEC for the resale of the shares of
common stock underlying all of the Notes, Warrants, amd common stock issued. The
Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statements
through the latest date at which the Notes can be converted or the Warrants can
be exercised. Notwithstanding other remedies available under the SPAs, the
Company will be required to pay liquidated damages equal to 2% of the principal
amount of the Notes on the date of failure and 2% of the principal amount of the
Notes every 30th day thereafter (or for a pro rated period if less than 30 days)
for failure to timely file the registration statements or have them declared
effective by the SEC and failure to maintain the effectiveness of the
registration statements, subject to certain grace periods. Any liquidated
damages not paid timely will accrue interest at the rate of 2% per month. The
total registration penalties under the 2006, 2007 and 2008 SPAs are capped at
12.5% of the principal amount of the respective Notes, or $1,100,614, $437,500
and $390,625 for the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Notes, respectively.
The Company accounts for its registration rights agreements pursuant to FPS EITF
Issue No. 00-19-2, which requires the Company to assess its potential liability
with respect to registration rights agreements according to FAS 5. Registration
statements for the 2006 and 2007 SPAs have been declared effective by the SEC.
On May 29, 2008, the investors agreed to delay payments in connection with the
registration rights agreement contained in the 2008 SPA and the registration of
the shares underlying the L-1 and L-2 warrants, which are to be registered
pursuant to the terms of the 2008 registration statement. The extended deadline
is the earlier to occur of the date that is 30 days following the Company's
receipt of guidance from the SEC with respect to the Company's ability to avail
itself of a registration statement consistent with the SEC's interpretation of
Rule 15 or August 31, 2008. The Company believes the likelihood of failing to
maintain the effectiveness of the registration statements is remote.
Accordingly, no liability related to the registration rights agreements has been
recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Significant events of default under the SPAs include:
o The failure of any registration statement to be declared
effective by the SEC within 60 days after the date required by
the applicable registration rights agreement or the lapse or
unavailability of such registration statement for more than 10
consecutive days or more than an aggregate of 30 days in any
365-day period (other than certain allowable grace periods).
o The failure to issue unlegended certificates within 3 trading
days after the Company receives documents necessary for the
removal of the legend.

JUNE 30, 2008
In January 2007, the Company amended the 2006 SPA (the "2006 Amended SPA"). The
amendments included, but were not limited to, a waiver of all fees, penalties
and defaults as of January 19, 2007 which related to registration statement
filing failures and/or effectiveness failures, as described in the 2006 SPA, an
increase in the principal amount of the 2006 Notes from an aggregate of $5
million to an aggregate of $7.2 million, issuance of an additional 5,688,540 of
2006 Warrants which increased the aggregate number of shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the Series L-1 Warrants from an aggregate of
17,065,623 shares to an aggregate of 22,754,163 shares, and a reduction in the
exercise price of the Series L-1 Warrants and the Series M-1 Warrants from
$0.5054 per share to $0.43948 per share. The Company did not receive any
additional cash consideration for these amendments.
Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Amended SPA, the Company entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement with one of the existing institutional
investors in a private placement transaction providing for, among other things,
the issuance of senior convertible notes (the "2006 Amended Notes) in the
principal amount of $1.6 million, Series L-2 Warrants to purchase up to
7,281,332 shares of common stock and Series M-2 Warrants to purchase up to
2,366,433 shares of common stock. The Series L-2 Warrants were immediately
exercisable. The Series M-2 warrants were to become exercisable only upon a
mandatory conversion of the 2006 Notes, as defined in the 2006 Notes. Both the
Series L-2 Warrants and Series M-2 Warrants have an exercise price of $0.43948
per share and expire on July 31, 2011.
The 2008 SPA amended the 2007 Notes and the 2007 Warrants. Pursuant to the 2008
SPA, the conversion price of the 2007 Notes and the exercise price of the 2007
Warrants were reduced from $1.20 to $0.50. The 2008 SPA had no effect on the
2006 Notes.
Since the modifications of the 2006 Notes and the 2007 Notes resulted in terms
that, pursuant to EITF Issue No. 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification
or Exchange of Debt Instruments" and EITF Issue No. 06-6, "Debtor's Accounting
for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments," were
substantially different from the terms of the previous 2006 Notes, the
modification was recorded as an extinguishment of debt. After eliminating all
liabilities related to the 2006 and 2007 SPAs, a gain on the extinguishment debt
of $11,571,860 was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and a loss on the extinguishment of
debt of $4,828,957 was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
The 2008 SPA also amended the terms of the Series M-1 and M-2 warrants to
eliminate the contingency provisions and therefore, the Series M-1 and Series
M-2 warrants became immediately exercisable upon the effective date of the 2008
SPA. Pursuant to EITF Issue No. 96-19, the modifications to these warrants were
not considered substantial and the Company did not record any gain or loss
related to the amendments. However, the Company recorded the portion of expense
related to the warrants that became immediately exercisable of $1,146,033 for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
The conversion price of the Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants are
subject to customary anti-dilution provisions for stock splits and the like, and
are also subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection such that if the
Company issues or is deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower
than the then applicable conversion or exercise price, then the conversion or
exercise price will immediately be reduced to such lower price.
The Notes and the Warrants contain certain limitations on conversion or
exercise, including that a holder of those securities cannot convert or exercise
those securities to the extent that upon such conversion or exercise, that
holder, together with the holder's affiliates, would own in excess of 4.99% of
the Company's outstanding shares of common stock (subject to an increase or
decrease, upon at least 61-days' notice, by the investor to the Company, of up
to 9.99%).

(2) Fixed conversion price reflects the effect of anti-dilution provision
as a result of the April 2008 SPA.
(3) The interest rate may be reduced to 7.00% at the beginning of each
quarter if certain conditions are met. No such conditions have been met
to date.
(4) The interest rates increase to 15.00% upon the occurrence of an event

$312,500 is included in current assets and $234,375 is included in
non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
June 30, 2008. Interest expense was $78,125 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008.
The Company may elect to make monthly installment payments in cash or in shares
of the Company's common stock.
The maturity date of the Notes may be extended at the option of the investors so
long as there is not an event of default. The investor in $5,922,946 of the 2006
Notes has deferred the required monthly payments and/or conversions beginning
with the payment due in June 2007 for a period of 2 years such that the next
payment will be due in June 2009. The investors in $2,881,963 of the 2006 Notes
have deferred the required monthly payment and/or conversions beginning with the
July 2007 payment such that the next payment was due in October 2008.
Despite the maturity dates and past deferrals of required payments and/or
conversions, the Notes are classified as current liabilities in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets because the investors have the right to accelerate
conversion of the Notes up to an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate dollar
trading volume of the Company's common stock over the prior 20 trading day
period. In addition, the Company has the right to call a forced conversion under
certain conditions.
The 2006 and 2007 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at the
option of the holder at the lower of the fixed conversion price or the optional
conversion price, defined as 90% of the arithmetic average of the
weighted-average price of the common stock for the 5 consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the conversion date. However, if the weighted average
price for the 20 trading days preceding the date of conversion exceeds $1.00,
the conversion price is computed as 92.5% of the weighted average price of the
common stock for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the
conversion date. However, the Company may, at its option, redeem in cash, up to
an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Company's
common stock over the prior 20-trading day period on the 2007 Notes.

Subject to certain conditions, the Company may require the investors to convert
up to 50%, of the 2006 Notes after the SEC has declared effective the initial
registration statement at any time when the shares of the Company's common stock
are trading at or above 150% of the initial conversion price or convert up to
100%, of the notes after the SEC has declared effective the initial registration
statement at any time when the shares of the Company's common stock are trading
at or above 175% of the initial conversion price. The 2006 Notes contain certain
limitations on optional and mandatory conversion.
The entire outstanding principal balance of the 2007 Notes and any outstanding
fees or interest shall be due and payable in full on the maturity date. Interest
is payable quarterly, beginning October 1, 2007. Under certain conditions, the
Company may require investors to convert up to either 50% or 100% of the
outstanding balances of the 2007 Notes at any time the Company shares are
trading at or above $1.80 or $2.11, respectively
The 2008 Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at the lower of the
fixed conversion price or the optional conversion price, defined as 85% of the
arithmetic average of the weighted-average price of the common stock for the 5
consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. However,
following the disclosure of an SEC event, as defined in the 2008 Notes, the
conversion price will be computed using the lowest of (i) 50% of arithmetic
average of the weighted average price for the 30 trading days preceding the date
of conversion; (ii) 50% of the closing price of the common stock on the trading
day preceding the date of conversion; or (iii) 50% of the closing price of the
common stock on the date preceding the SEC event.
The 2008 Notes are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in
all of the Company's assets and the common stock of the Company's subsidiary.
Additionally, the Notes are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiary.
Significant events of default under the Notes include:
o The failure of any registration statement to be declared
effective by the SEC within 60 days after the date required by
the applicable registration rights agreement or the lapse or
unavailability of such registration statement for more than 10
consecutive days or more than an aggregate of 30 days in any
365-day period (other than certain allowable grace periods).
o The suspension from trading or failure of the common stock to
be listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or another
eligible market for more than 5 consecutive trading days or
more than an aggregate of 10 trading days in any 365-day
period.
o The failure to issue shares upon conversion of the Notes or
for more than 10 business days after the relevant conversion
date or a notice of the Company's intention not to comply with
a request for conversion.
o The Company's failure to pay any amount of principal,
interest, late charges or other amounts when due.
If there is an event of default, then the investors have the right to redeem all
or any portion of the Notes, at the greater of (i) up to 125% of the sum of the
outstanding principal, interest and late fees, depending on the nature of the
default, and (ii) the product of (a) the greater of (1) the closing sale price
for the Company's common stock on the date immediately preceding the event of
default, (2) the closing sale price for the Company's common stock on the date
immediately after the event of default and (3) the closing sale price for the
Company's common stock on the date an investor delivers its redemption notice
for such event of default, multiplied by (b) 130% of the number of shares into
which the notes (including all principal, interest and late fees) may be
converted.
In the event of a default or upon the occurrence of certain fundamental
transactions as defined in the 2007 Notes, the investors will have the right to
require the Company to redeem the 2007 Notes at a premium. In addition, at any

time on or after August 1, 2010, the investors may accelerate the partial
payment of the 2007 Notes by requiring that the Company convert at the lower of
the then conversion price or a 7.5% or 10.0% discount to the recent volume
weighted average price of the Company's common stock, or at the option of the
Company, redeem in cash, up to an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate dollar
trading volume of the Company's common stock over the prior 20-trading day
period.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, $171,212 of principal on
the 2006 Notes and $1,918 of accrued interest on the 2006 Notes were converted
into 393,942 shares of common stock.

(1) All information presented reflects amendments made in January 2007.
(2) Current exercise price reflects the effect of anti-dilution provision
as a result of the April 2008 SPA.
(3) The 2008 SPA modified the warrants to eliminate the contingency
provision.
(4) The term begins as of the effective date of the registration statement.
(5) The fair value of the O warrants has not yet been recorded since the
contingency provisions have not been met.
(6) Additional warrants were granted in April 2008 due to the anti-dilution
provisions in the 2007 SPA.
The holders' right to exercise the 9,761,536 Series M warrants was contingent on
a mandatory conversion of the 2006 Notes at the option of the Company. A
mandatory conversion for a portion of the 2006 Notes took place on July 30, 2007
entitling investors to exercise up to 7,646,361 M warrant shares. The 2008 SPA
contained a provision which removed the contingency on the remaining M warrants
such that they are immediately exercisable. The Company recognized $1,146,063 of
expense related to the M warrants for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008. The value of these M warrants were measured at fair value on January 18,
2007 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Since conversion of the Series O warrants is contingent on a mandatory
conversion of the 2007 Notes, the total charge was measured as of the date of
issuance of the Series O warrants. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 98-5, this
charge will not be recognized until the mandatory conversion "contingency" has
been satisfied. The fair value of the Series O warrants at inception was
$1,493,341.

The Company has an agreement with a placement agent that provides compensation
for services provided by the placement agent. For each successful financing, the
Company will pay the placement agent a cash fee of 6% of the gross proceeds of
the financing. Additionally, the Company will issue warrants to purchase a
number of common shares equal to 4% of the gross proceeds at an exercise price
equal to the price in the financing.
In connection with the 2006 SPA, the Company issued to the placement agent
warrants with a term of five years to purchase 600,710 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price of $0.44. In connection with the 2007 SPA, the
Company will issue warrants to purchase 116,385 shares of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $1.20. In connection with the 2008 SPA, the
Company will issue warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $1.00. All placement agent warrants are
immediately exercisable.
The placement agent warrants were measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. During 2008 and 2007 the Company capitalized $40,113 and
$148,236 as debt issuance cost, respectively. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, the Company amortized $92,525 and $126,801, respectively,
$53,905 of which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
JULY 2008 SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING
On July 28, 2008, pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement with
our investors involved in the July 2006, January 2007, July 2007, and April 2008
transactions, for total gross proceeds of $1.25 million we issued Senior Secured
Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.25 million ("Secured
Notes"), Series R warrants and 1,250,000 shares of the our common stock in a
private placement transaction. In addition, in exchange for the issuance of
replacement warrants and amending certain terms and conditions of the our Series
Q Warrants, the investors agreed to permit us to cause the investors to exercise
our Series Q Warrants under certain circumstances. The replacement warrants are
only exercisable on a one-for-one warrant share basis upon the exercise of any
Series Q Warrants. The securities purchase agreement also required us to enter
into an amended and restated security agreement, renewing with the investors a
first priority perfected security interest in all of our assets, as well as an
amended and restated pledge agreement and amended and restated guaranty. The
Secured Notes and accompanying warrants are or may become convertible into or
exercisable for the following number of shares of the Company's common stock:
Notes: 1,250,000
R Warrants: 2,500,000
Replacement Warrants: 12,500,000(1)
----------
Total: 16,250,000
The Secured Notes carry an interest rate of 10.00% per annum, which rate may be
increased to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default, and mature on July
28, 2010. This date may be extended, at the option of the investors, by up to
two years. Interest representing two years of interest on the Secured Notes was
prepaid to the investors at the closing. The Secured Notes are immediately
convertible at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The entire outstanding
principal balance and any outstanding fees or interest (if any) shall be due and
payable in full on the maturity date.
The Series R Warrants carry a strike price of $0.50 for each share, are
immediately exercisable, and expire on July 28, 2015. The Amended and Restated Q
- ----------
(1) The replacement warrants are only exercisable on a one-for-one warrant share
basis upon the exercise of any Series Q Warrants.
F-22
RAPTOR NETWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
Warrants amend certain terms and conditions of our Series Q Warrants, such that
the warrants now have an initial exercise price equal to the lower of (i) $0.50
and (ii) 75% of number equal to the lesser of (w) the 15-day weighted average
price of our common stock, (x) the lowest 30-day weighted average price of our
common stock, (y) the weighted average price of our common stock during the
first three (3) consecutive day period thirty days prior to the date of
exercise, and (z) the weighted average price of our common stock during the last
three (3) consecutive day period thirty days prior to the date of exercise. The
replacement warrants become exercisable, on a one-for-one basis, for every
Amended and Restated Q Warrant that the investors exercise. The replacement
warrants expire on July 28, 2015, and have an exercise price equal to the lower
of (i) $0.50 and (ii) 75% of number equal to the lesser of (w) the 15-day
weighted average price of our common stock, (x) the lowest 30-day weighted
average price of our common stock, (y) the weighted average price of our common
stock during the first three (3) consecutive day period thirty days prior to the
date of exercise, and (z) the weighted average price of our common stock during
the last three (3) consecutive day period thirty days prior to the date of
exercise.
In the event of a default or upon the occurrence of certain fundamental
transactions as defined in the Secured Notes, the investors will have the right
to require us to redeem the Secured Notes at a premium. In addition, at any time
on or after January 28, 2009, the investors may accelerate the partial payment
of the Secured Notes by requiring that we convert at the lower of the then
existing conversion price, or 15.0% discount to the recent volume weighted
average price of our common stock, or at our option, redeem in cash, up to an
amount equal to 100% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock
over the prior 20-trading day period.
The conversion price of the Secured Notes, and the exercise price of the Series
R Warrants, the Amended and Restated Q Warrants, and the replacement warrants,
are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions for stock splits and the like,
and are also subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection such that if we
issue or are deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower than the
then applicable conversion or exercise price, then the conversion or exercise
price will immediately be reduced to such lower price.
The Secured Notes, and the Series R Warrants, the Amended and Restated Q
Warrants, and the replacement warrants contain certain limitations on conversion
or exercise, including that a holders of those securities cannot convert or
exercise those securities to the extent that upon such conversion or exercise,
that holder, together with the holder's affiliates, would own in excess of 4.99%
of our outstanding shares of common stock (subject to an increase or decrease,
upon at least 61-days' notice, by the investor to us, of up to 9.99%).
We have agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the Secured
Notes and warrants issued. If we fail to meet the filing or effectiveness
requirements, subject to certain grace periods, we may be required to pay
liquidated damages of $25,000 on the date of such failure, and on every 30th day
thereafter until such failure is cured. The total liquidated damages payable by
us for failure to meet the filing and effectiveness requirements are capped at
$156,250.
The descriptions of the documents and agreements discussed above are qualified
by reference to the complete text of those documents and agreements. However,
those documents and agreements, including without limitation the
representations, warranties, covenants and other provisions of those documents
and agreements, are not intended as documents for investors and the public to
obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to
those documents and agreements. Rather, investors and the public should look to
other disclosures contained in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
OPTIONS ISSUED
Subsequent to June 30, 2008, the Company granted 250,000 common stock options to
certain employees that vest at the rate of 33 1/3% on each of the first, second
and third anniversaries of the date of grant and expire on the eight-year
anniversary of the date of grant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders'
of Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. and Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Raptor Networks
Technology, Inc. (a Colorado corporation) as of December 31, 2007, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated
financial statements of Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. for the year ended
December 31 2006, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 17,
2007, except paragraph 7 of Note 1, which is August 14, 2007, expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements (the March 17, 2007, which is August 14,
2007, except paragraph 7 of Note 1, report was modified related to the
uncertainty of the Company's ability as a going concern), have been furnished to
us.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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
consolidated 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 audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement
presentation. We believe that our 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 Raptor Networks
Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented assuming the
company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained accumulated
losses from operations totaling $70,200,000 at December 31, 2007. This
condition, and the fact that the Company has had no significant sales of its
products to date, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans to address these conditions are also set forth
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments which might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Raptor Networks Technology, Inc.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Raptor Networks Technology,
Inc. as of December 31, 2005 (not presented) and 2006, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.). 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 audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As more fully described in paragraph 7 of Note 1 to the financial statements,
the Company has restated its 2006 financial statements to account for a change
in its method of accounting for value assigned to a beneficial conversion
feature of senior convertible notes and warrants.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Raptor Networks
Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the consolidated results
of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for
the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements are presented assuming the company will
continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company has sustained accumulated losses from operations
totaling more than $60,700,000 at December 31, 2006. This condition, and the
fact that the Company has had no significant sales of its products to date,
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans to address these conditions are also set forth in Note 1 to
the financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include
any adjustments which might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION
- -----------
The Company is a provider of integrated high-speed Ethernet switching systems
which enable new emerging high bandwidth critical applications. The data network
market areas that the Company is targeting include video, storage, Internet
Protocol telephony, and technology refresh. The Company is currently focusing on
the United States market. Principal operations have commenced, although minimal
revenues have been recognized to date.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado on January
22, 2001 under the name Pacific InterMedia, Inc. ("Pacific"). The principal
office of the corporation is 1241 E. Dyer Rd., Suite 150, Santa Ana, California
92705.
On October 17, 2003, Pacific completed a business combination transaction with
Raptor Networks Technology, Inc. ("Raptor"), a closely-held California
corporation, through acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common
stock of Raptor in exchange for authorized but previously unissued restricted
Common Stock of Pacific. Immediately prior to completion of the acquisition
transaction, Pacific had a total of 4,034,000 shares of its Common Stock issued
and outstanding comprised of 1,034,000 registered shares held by approximately
25 stockholders and 3,000,000 shares of restricted stock held by Pacific's
founder and sole officer and director.
As a material aspect of the acquisition, Pacific re-acquired and cancelled the
3,000,000 restricted shares as consideration for transfer of its remaining
assets consisting of cash and office equipment to the officer and director,
leaving only the registered common stock, 1,034,000 shares, as all of its issued
and outstanding capital stock prior to completion of the Raptor acquisition.
Pursuant to terms of the acquisition agreement, all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of Raptor, 19,161,256 shares, was acquired by Pacific,
share-for-share, in exchange for its authorized but previously unissued common
stock. Upon completion of the acquisition, Raptor became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Pacific and the Raptor shareholders became shareholders of
Pacific. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in these financial
statements to "the Company" include Pacific and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Raptor. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. On December 3, 2003,
Pacific changed its name to Raptor Networks Technology, Inc.
The acquisition transaction has been treated as a reverse merger, with Raptor
considered the accounting acquirer. The Company's reporting year end was
subsequently changed from August 31 to December 31.
RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIODS
- ----------------------------
Restatement of December 2006
- ----------------------------
The Company has restated its prior period financial results because of an error
in our interpretation of accounting treatment for derivatives issued in the
private placement transactions in July 2006 and January 2007. These restatements
are included in the year to date numbers of this 10-KSB. The restatements were
required because the Company capitalized as deferred debt costs the fair value
of the conversion features and warrants in excess of the face value of the debt
host instrument whereas this cost of financing should have been expensed at the
time of closing the financing.

Third quarter 2007 Restatement
- ------------------------------------
On July 30, 2007, we effected a mandatory conversion in the amount of $2,707,475
entitling the holders to 4,387,798 shares of Raptor common stock. The amount of
the conversion carried a corresponding conversion feature, valued at $3,607,648.
This amount was recognized in our statement of operations as a gain to "other
income/loss". As this transaction related to a conversion of a portion of the
senior convertible note, the valuation amount of $3,607,648 should have instead
been properly accounted for as an increase to our "Additional paid-in capital"
(APIC) account on our balance sheet. As such, our September 30, 2007 Net
income/loss and Additional paid-in capital were understated by $3,607,648.
This accounting restatement was addressed in the fourth quarter of 2007
and appropriate corrections were made such that the financial data for the 2007
fiscal year as included in this 10-KSB are consistent with our
restatement. The adjustments are cash neutral and did not affect the
Company's cash position.
The affect of the restatement to Additional paid-in capital, Change in fair

REVENUE RECOGNITION
- -------------------
The Company records revenues when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price
to the customer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection of the sales price
is reasonably assured. Delivery occurs when goods are shipped and title and risk
of loss have passed to the customer. Revenue is deferred in all instances where
the earnings process is incomplete. The Company recognizes revenue from
distribution sales when all contingencies are satisfied and upon persuasive
evidence of a sale to end users until such time that historical sell through
ratios have been developed.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
- -------------------------
The Company considers all short-term marketable securities with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
- -------------------------------------------------------
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear
interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of
the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts
receivable. The Company establishes provisions for losses on accounts receivable
when it is probable that all or part of the outstanding balance will not be
collected. The Company regularly reviews collectability and establishes or
adjusts the allowance as necessary using the specific identification method.
INVENTORY
- ---------
Inventory is recorded at the lower of average cost or market. When required, a
provision is made to reduce excess and obsolete inventory to estimated net
realizable value. Inventory at December 31, 2007 consists of raw materials, work
in process and finished goods.
LICENSE FEES
- ------------
The Company capitalizes software license fees of third party software which is
included in its systems. These costs will be amortized and charged to cost of
sales over the projected number of systems expected to be sold incorporating the
capitalized software. Amortization of the license fees included in cost of sales
for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 totaled $20,824 and $7,800
respectively.
PREPAID EXPENSES
- ----------------
Prepaid expenses represent amounts paid in advance for contracts extending past
the period end date.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
- ----------------------
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets'
estimated useful lives as follows: computer equipment, furniture and fixtures
and testing equipment are depreciated over three years, office equipment is
depreciated over seven years and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
term of the lease.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007
DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS
- --------------------
Debt issuance costs reflect fees incurred to obtain financing. Debt issuance
costs are amortized (included in interest expense using the straight-line method
over the life of the related debt. Amortization expense for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $119,240 and $38,413 respectively.
DEPOSITS
- --------
Deposits represent amounts paid under the Company's office space lease and
various other arrangements with state agencies.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
- -----------------------
Repairs and maintenance of a routine nature are charged as incurred, while those
which extend or improve the life of existing assets are capitalized.
MARKETING COSTS
- ---------------
Marketing costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2007
and 2006, marketing costs were $97,237 and $229,381 respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
- ------------------------------
Research and development (R&D) costs, which are expensed as incurred, are
comprised of the following costs incurred in performing R&D activities: labor,
product design cost including rental of design tools, consumables, and costs of
prototypes.
COMPENSATED ABSENCES
- --------------------
The Company maintains a personal time off policy. Employees of the Company are
entitled to compensated absences depending on their length of service to a
maximum of 25 days. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 the balance
owed for compensated absences was $120,108 and $108,752 respectively.
IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
- -------------------------------------------
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles for
impairment periodically, and whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When
necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the
best information available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either
appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows.
Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash
flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.
No assets were considered impaired for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006.
USE OF ESTIMATES
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
the enacted federal, state, and local income tax rates and laws that are
expected to be in effect when the differences reverse.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48), which supplements SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," by defining the confidence level that a tax
position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The
Interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if
it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained based solely on its technical
merits as of the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not threshold represents a
positive assertion by management that a company is entitled to the economic
benefits of a tax position, If a tax position is not considered
F-33
RAPTOR NETWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007
more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. No
benefits of the tax position are to be recognized. Moreover, the
more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period
to support continued recognition of a benefit. With the adoption of FIN 48,
companies are required to adjust their financial statements to reflect only
those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Any necessary
adjustment would be recorded directly to retained earnings and reported as a
change in accounting principle.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
- -----------------------------------
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair value of all reported assets and
liabilities which represent financial instruments (none of which are held for
trading purposes) approximate the carrying values of such instruments.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
- -----------------
Certain previous year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings,
financial position or cash flows.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
- ------------------------
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value
recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 123 (revised 2004), "Shared Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123(R)") using the
Black-Scholes Option pricing model. Under SFAS No. 123(R), all stock-based
compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the
award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
For the year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company
recognized $360,058 and $168,214 respectively, in stock based compensation costs
related to the issuance of options to employees. These costs were calculated in
accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) and are reflected in operating expenses. The
total stock options for the 2005 Plan and non-plan options in the amounts of
626,000 and 1,175,000, respectively, results in a total of 1,801,000 options
outstanding at December 31, 2007.
2005 Stock Plan
- ---------------
The Company's 2005 Stock Plan was approved by the Company's Board of Directors
on April 7, 2005, approved by the Company's shareholders on June 9, 2005, and
amended and restated as the First Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Plan ("2005
Plan") by the Company's Board of Directors on June, 29, 2007. The Company filed
a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") in May 2007 to cover the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of common
stock underlying options and stock purchase rights authorized for issuance under
the 2005 Plan and qualified for issuance the underlying securities with the
California Department of Corporations in July, 2007. Prior to that time, the
Company issued only non-plan stock options. The 2005 Plan is now the Company's
only formal plan for providing stock-based incentive compensation to the
Company's eligible employees, non-employee directors and certain consultants.
The Board of Directors or committee of the Board of Directors administering the
2005 Plan has discretion to set vesting, expiration and other terms of awards
under the 2005 Plan. As of December 31, 2007, the 2005 Plan had a total of
626,000 options outstanding and 2,374,000 shares reserved for future grants.
Non-Plan Options
- ----------------
Prior to approval of our 2005 Plan, the Company granted stock options
out-of-plan. These non-plan options provided for the periodic issuance of stock
options to our employees and non-employee board of directors. The vesting period
for the non-plan stock options is three equal annual installments commencing on
the first anniversary of the date of grant. The maximum contractual term of
stock options granted under these out-of-plan options was eight years. As of
December 31, 2007, there were 1,175,000 non-plan options outstanding.

CONSIDERATION OF OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME ITEMS
- -------------------------------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 requires companies to present comprehensive
income (consisting primarily of net income plus other direct equity changes and
credits) and its components as part of the basic financial statements. For the
year ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company's
financial statements do not contain any changes in equity that are required to
be reported separately in comprehensive income.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
- ---------------------
From time-to-time, the Company maintains cash balances in excess of FDIC insured
limits. The amount of such excess at December 31, 2007 was approximately
$834,600.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- --------------------------------
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108"), FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONSIDERING THE
EFFECTS OF PRIOR YEAR MISSTATEMENTS WHEN QUANTIFYING MISSTATEMENTS IN CURRENT
YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS." SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year
misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements
in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the
current year's financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 provides
that once a current year misstatement has been quantified, the guidance in SAB
No. 99, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MATERIALITY, should be applied to determine
whether the misstatement is material and should result in an adjustment to the
financial statements. Under certain circumstances, prior year financial
statements will not have to be restated and the effects of initially applying
SAB 108 on prior years will be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to
beginning Retained Earnings on January 1, 2006, with disclosure of the items
included in the cumulative effect. The Company applied the provisions of SAB 108
with the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements for the
calendar year ended December 31, 2006. The application of the provisions of SAB
108 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2007.
In November 2006, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-7, "Issuer's Accounting
for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument
When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB
Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("EITF No. 06-7"). At the time of issuance, an embedded conversion option in a
convertible debt instrument may be required to be bifurcated from the debt
instrument and accounted for separately by the issuer as a derivative under SFAS
No. 133, based on the application of EITF No. 00-19. Subsequent to the issuance
of the convertible debt, facts may change and cause the embedded conversion
option to no longer meet the conditions for separate accounting as a derivative
instrument, such as when the bifurcated instrument meets the conditions of EITF
No. 00-19 to be classified in stockholders' equity. Under EITF No. 06-7, when an
embedded conversion option previously accounted for as a derivative under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 no longer meets the
bifurcation criteria under that standard, an issuer shall disclose a description
of the principal changes causing the embedded conversion option to no longer
require bifurcation under SFAS No. 133 and the amount of the liability for the
conversion option reclassified to stockholders' equity. EITF No. 06-7 should be
applied to all previously bifurcated conversion options in convertible debt
instruments that no longer meet the bifurcation criteria in SFAS No. 133 in
interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, regardless of
whether the debt instrument was entered into prior or subsequent to the
effective date of EITF No. 06-7. The adoption of EITF 06-7 did not have a
material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2006, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-6, Application of EITF
Issue No. 05-7, `Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in
Debt Instruments and Related Issues ' ("EITF 06-6"). EITF 06-6 addresses the
modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an
embedded conversion option and the subsequent recognition of interest expense
for the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a
debt extinguishment pursuant to EITF 96-19. The Company does not expect the
adoption of EITF 06-6 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2006, FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2 was issued. This FASB
Staff Position (FSP) addresses an issuer's accounting for registration payment
arrangements. This FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to make future
payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment
arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision
of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized
and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statements No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 150,
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others, to include scope exceptions for registration payment
arrangements. This FSP further clarifies that a financial instrument subject to
a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with
other applicable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) without regard
to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the
registration payment arrangement. The Company follows the guidance in FSP
00-19-2 in assessing its liabilities related to the liquidated damages arising
from the Company's default position on the convertible financing arrangements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 ("FAS 159") which expanded
FAS No. 157, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ," which defines fair value, establishes
guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value
measurements. FAS 159 does not require any new fair value measurements but
rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting
pronouncements. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007. Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the company has not yet issued
financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 159, but does not expect the
adoption of FAS 159 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue No. 06-11, "Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on
Share-Based Payment Awards" ("EITF 06-11"). EITF 06-11 requires companies to
recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents
that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for non-vested
equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to
additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after September 15, 2007. While the Company is currently evaluating the
provisions of EITF 06-11, the adoption is not expected to have any significant
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, " ACCOUNTING FOR
UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, AN INTERPRETATION OF FAS 109 "("FIN 48") which
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in
accordance with FAS 109, " ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES." FIN 48 is a
comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and
disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company
has taken or expects to take on a tax return. If an income tax position exceeds
a more likely than not (greater than 50%) probability of success upon tax audit,
the company will recognize an income tax benefit in its financial statements.
Additionally, companies are required to accrue interest and related penalties,
if applicable, on all tax exposures consistent with jurisdictional tax laws.
This interpretation is effective as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of this
statement does not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This standard
also responds to investors' requests for expanded information about the extent
to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information
used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on
earnings. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit)
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand
the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years; therefore, the Company expects to
adopt SFAS No. 157 at the beginning of fiscal 2008. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this standard.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities--Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115". SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many
?nancial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to
improve ?nancial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value
measurement, which is consistent with the FASB's long-term measurement
objectives for accounting for ?nancial instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as
of the beginning of an entity's ?rst ?scal year that begins after November 15,
2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.
PRESENTATION AS A GOING CONCERN
- -------------------------------
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
The company has sustained net losses of $9,509,247 and $19,078,578 for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Net cash used in
operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $6,214,835. The Company also
has an accumulated deficit of $70,198,322 and a working capital deficit of
$14,158,731 at December 31, 2007, of which $12,990,976 relates to the fair value
of derivative financial instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007
The items discussed above raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. If the Company's financial resources are
insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute
its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict
whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or
another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional
capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these
events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion,
repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive
pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on
its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and
reclassification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
Should financing sources fail to materialize, management would seek alternate
funding sources such as the sale of common and/or preferred stock, the issuance
of debt, or other means.
The Company plans to attempt to address its working capital deficiency by
increasing its sales, maintaining strict expense controls and seeking strategic
alliances.
In the event that these financing sources do not materialize, or the Company is
unsuccessful in increasing its revenues and profits, the Company will be forced
to further reduce its costs, may be unable to repay its debt obligations as they
become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances
would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations. Additionally, if these funding sources or
increased revenues and profits do not materialize, and the Company is unable to
secure additional financing, the Company could be forced to reduce or curtail
its business operations unless it is able to engage in a merger or other
corporate finance transaction with a better capitalized entity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007
In November 2006, the Company determined that it would not be able to obtain an
effective registration statement by the contractually required date of December
1, 2006 and the Company and investors agreed to restructure the financing.
In connection with the restructuring the Company entered into Amendment and
Exchange Agreements, dated January 18, 2007 and amended and restated on January
22, 2007, with the investors from the July 30, 2006 private placement providing
for certain amendments to the senior convertible notes, Series L-1 Warrants,
Series M-1 Warrants and registration rights agreement. These amendments include,
but are not limited to, a waiver of all fees, penalties and defaults as of
January 19, 2007 which related to registration statement filing failures and/or
effectiveness failures, as described in the July 30, 2006 agreements, an
increase in the principal amount of the notes from an aggregate of $5 million to
an aggregate of approximately $7.2 million, a 5,688,540 increase in the
aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series
L-1 Warrants from an aggregate of 17,065,623 shares to an aggregate of
22,754,163 shares, and a reduction in the exercise price of the Series L-1
Warrants and the Series M-1 Warrants from $0.5054 per share to $0.43948 per
share. The Company did not receive any additional cash consideration for these
amendments.
Additionally, on January 18, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement with one of the existing institutional investors in
connection with a private placement transaction providing for, among other
things, our issuance of senior convertible notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $1.6 million, Series L-2 Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of
7,281,332 shares of our common stock and Series M-2 Warrants to purchase up to
an aggregate of 2,366,433 shares of our common stock. The Series L-2 Warrants
are immediately exercisable. The Series M-2 warrants become exercisable only
upon a mandatory conversion of the notes at the option of the Company. The
Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $1.6 million from the investors for
our issuance of these notes and warrants. Both the Series L-2 Warrants and
Series M-2 Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.43948 per share and
expire on July 31, 2011.
The Company may elect to make monthly installment payments in cash or in shares
of the Company's common stock.
All notes mature on July 31, 2008 (the "Maturity Date"), subject to the right of
the investors to extend the date for the payment of any installment of principal
(as described below). The notes bear interest at the rate of 9.25% per annum,
which rate may be adjusted to 7.0% per annum at the beginning of each calendar
quarter if certain conditions are satisfied. The interest rate is increased to
15% upon the occurrence of an event of default.
Pursuant to the terms of the convertible note private placement agreements, the
Company is required to file a registration statement with the SEC registering
for resale certain shares of common stock underlying all of the convertible
notes, Series L-1 and L-2 Warrants (together the "Series L Warrants") and Series
M-1 and M-2 Warrants (together the "Series M Warrants").
Some important events of default follow:
o The failure of any registration statement required by the Amended
Registration Rights Agreement to be declared effective by the SEC
within 60 days after the date required by the Amended Registration
Rights Agreement or the lapse or unavailability of such registration
statement for more than 10 consecutive days or more than an aggregate
of 30 days in any 365-day period (other than certain allowable grace
periods).

RAPTOR NETWORKS TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007
o The suspension from trading or failure of the Common Stock to be listed
for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or another eligible market for
more than 5 consecutive trading days or more than an aggregate of 10
trading days in any 365-day period.
o The failure to issue shares upon conversion of a Note for more than 10
business days after the relevant conversion date or a notice of the
Company's intention not to comply with a request for conversion.
If there is an event of default, then the investors have the right to redeem all
or any portion of the notes, at the greater of (i) up to 125% of the sum of the
outstanding principal, interest and late fees, depending on the nature of the
default, and (ii) the product of (a) the greater of (1) the closing sale price
for the Company's Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the event of
default, (2) the closing sale price for the Company's Common Stock on the date
immediately after the event of default and (3) the closing sale price for the
Company's Common Stock on the date an investor delivers its redemption notice
for such event of default, multiplied by (b) 130% of the number of shares into
which the notes (including all principal, interest and late fees) may be
converted.
Subject to certain conditions, the Company may require the investors to convert
up to 50%, of the notes after the SEC has declared effective the initial
registration statement at any time when the shares of the Company's Common Stock
are trading at or above 150% of the initial Conversion Price or convert up to
100%, of the notes after the SEC has declared effective the initial registration
statement at any time when the shares of the Company's Common Stock are trading
at or above 175% of the initial Conversion Price. The notes contain certain
limitations on optional and mandatory conversion. For example, they provide that
no conversion may be made if, after giving effect to the conversion, the
investor would own in excess of 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of
Common Stock. This percentage may, however, be increased up to 9.99% at the
option of the investor upon 61-days prior notice to the Company.
The terms of the Amendment and Exchange Agreement, dated January 18, 2007 and
amended and restated on January 22, 2007, with the investors from the July 30,
2006 private placement including the financing of $1.6 million result in the
following accounting treatment:
The restructuring of our July 30, 2006 debt which took place in January 2007
constitutes, as per SFAS No. 15, non-troubled debt and therefore is subject to
the accounting treatment as provided in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
96-19. In SFAS No. 15 it is stated "a debt constitutes a troubled debt
restructuring if the creditor grants a concession to the debtor". As no
concessions were granted in our January 2007 debt restructuring, troubled debt
accounting rules do not apply. In accordance with EITF 96-19 we determined that
the amended agreements differ substantially from the original July 31, 2006
financing agreements and therefore the restructuring of our original senior
convertible notes should be accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. This
treatment resulted in the recognition, on January 18, 2007, of an $11,571,860
gain after eliminating all liabilities related to the July 31, 2006 financing.
The terms of the amended convertible notes include certain conversion features
that represent derivative financial instruments under paragraph 12 of SFAS No.
133. These conversion features could result in a required number of shares to be
issued upon conversion that is greater than the currently authorized number of
shares and therefore the convertible note does not qualify as conventional
convertible debt as defined by EITF 05-02. As such, in accordance with paragraph
4 of EITF 00-19, the Company has classified the conversion feature as a
liability on its balance sheet measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The initial amount of this conversion liability on January
18, 2007 was valued at $10,858,880. SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 further require
the Company to account for the conversion feature using the fair value method at
the end of each quarter, with the resultant gain or loss recognition recorded
against earnings. The fair market value of the conversion feature at December
31, 2007 after applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model was determined to
be $3,929,462 and was recognized by recording a gain of $849,975 to Other
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the year ended December
31, 2007, the carrying value of the conversion feature was also decreased by
$6,079,443. This amount represents the fair value associated with the reduction
of 6,160,638 shares in connection with the conversion of a portion of the notes
totaling $2,707,475. In connection with this conversion the Company also issued
a total of 13,665 shares of common stock as payment for accrued interest due on
the converted amounts. The Note holders have elected to make certain deferrals
for their June 1, 2007 through December 1, 2007 standard conversions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007
The key assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
determine the fair value at December 31, 2007 are as follows:
Stock price of $0.67
Exercise price of $0.44
Volatility of 79.2 %
Expected life 0.60 years
Interest rate of 3.46%
The combined fair value of the conversion feature and the detachable L warrants
at January 18, 2007 was $27,138,117. The face value of the related senior
convertible note was $8,804,909. Therefore, the Company has recognized the
excess of $18,333,208 as a charge to the Cost of Financing in January 2007.
Amortization of the $8,804,909 debt discount liability equals $5,473,312 for the
year ended December 31, 2007.
With respect to the Series L Warrants and the Series M Warrants, it is noted
that the conversion feature as mentioned before could result in a required
number of shares to be issued upon conversion that is greater than the currently
authorized number of shares. This condition, which is outside of the Company's
control, could impact the Company's ability to maintain the appropriate level of
reserved shares in place required for the Series L Warrants and the Series M
Warrants. This could result in the need for the Company to obtain approval from
its shareholders to increase its authorized share capital to accommodate
appropriate reserves for shares issuable upon exercise of the Series L Warrants
and Series M Warrants. Since shareholder approval for this increase of
authorized share capital cannot be guaranteed, the Series L Warrants and Series
M Warrants, in accordance with EITF 00-19, need to be classified as a liability
on the Company balance sheet, measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.
The initial amount of the detachable L Warrants on January 18, 2007 was valued
at $16,279,237. SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, further require the Company to
account for the detachable warrant conversion feature using the fair value
method at the end of each quarter, with the resultant gain or loss recognition
recorded against earnings. The fair market value of the detachable L warrants at
December 31, 2007 after applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model was
determined to be $6,526,349 and was recognized by recording a $9,752,888 gain to
Other Expenses during the year ended December 31, 2007. The key assumptions used
in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value
are as follows:
Stock price of $0.67
Exercise price of $0.44
Volatility of 79.2 %
Expected life 0.60 years
Interest rate of 3.46%

December 31, 2006 and 2007
The holders' right to exercise the 9,761,536 Series M Warrants was contingent on
a mandatory conversion of the notes at the option of the Company. A mandatory
conversion for a portion of the notes took place on July 30, 2007 entitling
investors to exercise up to 7,646,361 M warrant shares. The fair value of these
7,646,361 Series M warrant shares, measured at January 18, 2007 using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model is $4,144,328. As prescribed by paragraph 13
of EITF 98-5, this $4,144,328 has been recognized as a charge to the Cost of
Financing in the third quarter of 2007. SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, further
requires the Company to account for the now exercisable 7,646,361 Series M
warrant shares using the fair value method at the end of each quarter, with the
resultant gain or loss recognition recorded against earnings. The fair market
value at December 31, 2007 of the M Warrants after applying the Black-Scholes
option pricing model was determined to be $2,169,841 and was recognized by
recording a $1,974,487 gain to Other Expenses during the year ended December 31,
2007. At December 31, 2007, an amount of 2,115,175 Series M Warrants remain
contingent until there is a further mandatory conversion of the notes. The value
of these remaining warrants measured at fair value on January 18, 2007 using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model is $1,146,425 and will be recognized upon a
mandatory conversion at the option of the Company, if any.
In connection with the $8,804,909 private placement, the Company issued to the
placement agent warrants with a term of five years to purchase 600,710 shares of
the Company's common stock. These placement agent warrants are immediately
exercisable and have an exercise price of $0.43948 per share. The placement
agent warrants were measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The resulting net debt issuance cost at December 31, 2007 was
$66,490. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company amortized $109,615
to interest expense.
These senior convertible notes are classified as short-term because investors
have the right to accelerate conversion of their notes up to an amount equal to
20% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Company's common stock over
the prior 20 trading day period. In addition, the Company has the right to call
a forced conversion under certain conditions. Therefore, the Company believes
the conversion of the notes will take place within a year. This accelerated
conversion also applies to the deferred conversions by the note holders.

August 1, 2007 of Senior Secured Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $3.5 million ("Secured Notes"), Series N Warrants, Series O Warrants
and Series P Warrants in a private placement transaction. The agreement also
requires the Company to enter into a security agreement granting the investors a
first priority perfected security interest in all of the Company's assets and
requires the Company's subsidiary to guaranty the Company's obligations under
the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes and accompanying warrants are or may become

Total: 8,957,522
The Secured Notes carry an interest rate of 9.25% per annum, which rate may be
increased to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default, and mature on
August 1, 2010. This date may be extended, at the option of the investors, by up
to two years. Interest will be payable quarterly, starting October 1, 2007. The
Secured Notes are immediately convertible at a conversion price of $1.2029 per
share. The entire outstanding principal balance and any outstanding fees or
interest shall be due and payable in full on the maturity date. Under certain
conditions, the Company may require investors to convert up to either 50% or
100% of the outstanding balances of the Secured Notes at any time the Company
shares are trading at or above $1.80435 or $2.105075, respectively.
The N Warrants carry a strike price of $1.2029 for each share and are
immediately exercisable. The N warrants expire on the earlier of August 1, 2016
or seven years after the date all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the
Secured Notes have been included on an effective registration statement.
The O Warrants also carry a strike price of $1.2029 for each share. The O
Warrants will only become exercisable by an investor if the Company conducts
mandatory conversions, and then only to the extent of 65% of the number of
shares issued to such investor upon each mandatory conversion. The O Warrants
expire on the earlier of August 1, 2016 or seven years after the date all of the
shares issuable upon conversion of the Secured Notes have been included on an
effective registration statement.
The P Warrants carry a strike price of $1.2029 for each share and are
immediately exercisable. The P Warrants expire on the earlier of the maturity
date of the Secured Notes of August 1, 2010, which date may be extended by up to
two years at the option of the investors, and the date the Company has satisfied
its payment obligations under the warrant holder's Secured Note.
In the event of a default or upon the occurrence of certain fundamental
transactions as defined in the Secured Notes, the investors will have the right
to require the Company to redeem the Secured Notes at a premium. In addition, at
any time on or after August 1, 2010, the investors may accelerate the partial
payment of the Secured Notes by requiring that the Company convert at the lower
of the then conversion price or a 7.5% or 10.0% discount to the recent volume
weighted average price of the Company's common stock, or at the option of the
Company, redeem in cash, up to an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate dollar
trading volume of the Company's common stock over the prior 20-trading day
period.
The conversion price of the Secured Notes and the exercise price of the N
Warrants, O Warrants and P Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution
provisions for stock splits and the like, and are also subject to full-ratchet
anti-dilution protection such that if the Company issues or is deemed to have
issued certain securities at a price lower than the then applicable conversion
or exercise price, then the conversion or exercise price will immediately be
reduced to such lower price.
The Secured Notes and the N Warrants, O Warrants and P Warrants contain certain
limitations on conversion or exercise, including that a holders of those
securities cannot convert or exercise those securities to the extent that upon
such conversion or exercise, that holder, together with the holder's affiliates,
would own in excess of 4.99% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock
(subject to an increase or decrease, upon at least 61-days' notice, by the
investor to the Company, of up to 9.99%).
The Company has agreed to register the shares of common stock underlying the
Secured Notes, N Warrants, O Warrants and P Warrants, If the Company fails to
meet the filing or effectiveness requirements, subject to certain grace periods,
the Company may be required to pay liquidated damages of $70,000 on the date of
such failure and on every 30th day thereafter until such failure is cured. The
total liquidated damages payable by the Company for failure to meet the filing
and effectiveness requirements are capped at $437,500.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2007
The terms of the Secured Notes include certain conversion features that
represent derivative financial instruments under paragraph 12 of SFAS No. 133.
These conversion features could result in a variable number of shares to be
issued upon conversion and therefore the Secured Notes do not qualify as
conventional convertible debt as defined by EITF 05-02. As such, in accordance
with paragraph 4 of EITF 00-19, the Company has classified the conversion
feature as a liability on its balance sheet measured at fair value using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The initial amount of this conversion
liability on July 30, 2007 was valued at $2,297,449. SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19
further require the Company to account for the conversion feature using the fair
value method at the end of each quarter, with the resultant gain or loss
recognition recorded against earnings. The fair market value of the conversion
feature at December 31, 2007 after applying the Black-Scholes option pricing
model was determined to be $150,428 and was recognized by recording a gain of
$2,147,021 to Other Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007. The key
assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine
the fair value at December 31, 2007 are as follows:
Stock price of $0.67
Exercise price of $1.2029
Volatility of 79.2%
Expected life 0.60 years
Interest rate of 3.46%
The combined fair value of the conversion feature and the detachable N warrants
and P warrant at July 30, 2007 was $5,579,518. The face value of the related
Secured Notes was $3,500,000. Therefore, the Company has recognized the excess
of $2,079,518 as a charge to the Cost of Financing in July 2007. Amortization of
the $3,500,000 debt discount liability equals $486,110 for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
With respect to the Series N Warrants and the Series P Warrants, it is noted
that the conversion feature could result in a variable number of shares to be
issued upon conversion. This condition, which is outside of the Company's
control, could impact the Company's ability to maintain the appropriate level of
reserved shares in place required for the Series N Warrants and the Series P
Warrants. This could result in the need for the Company to obtain approval from
its shareholders to increase its authorized share capital to accommodate
appropriate reserves for shares issuable upon exercise of the Series N Warrants
and Series P Warrants. Since shareholder approval for this increase of
authorized share capital cannot be guaranteed, the Series N Warrants and Series
P Warrants, in accordance with EITF 00-19, need to be classified as a liability
on the Company balance sheet, measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. On July 30, 2007 the initial amount of the detachable N
Warrants and P Warrants combined was valued at $3,282,069. SFAS No. 133 and EITF
00-19, further require the Company to account for the detachable warrant
conversion feature using the fair value method at the end of each quarter, with
the resultant gain or loss recognition recorded against earnings. The fair
market value of the detachable warrant at December 31, 2007 after applying the
Black-Scholes option pricing model was determined to be $214,896 and was
recognized by recording a $3,067,173 gain to Other Expenses during the year
ended December 31, 2007. The key assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes
option pricing model to determine the fair value are as follows:
Stock price of $0.67
Exercise price of $1.2029
Volatility of 79.2%
Expected life 0.60 years
Interest rate of 3.46%
Since conversion of the Series O Warrants is contingent on a mandatory
conversion of the Secured Notes at the option of the Company the total charge
was measured as per the date of issuance of these warrants; however, this charge
will not be recognized until the mandatory conversion "contingency" has been
removed as allowed under paragraph 13 of EITF 98-5. The value of the Series O
Warrants measured at fair value on July 30, 2007 using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model is $1,493,341.

2009 and had an original exercise price of $3.50 per share. However, pursuant to

9. INCOME TAXES
The Company computes and records taxes payable based upon determination of
taxable income which is different from pre-tax financial statement income. Such
differences arise from the reporting of financial statement amounts in different
periods for tax purposes. The timing differences are a result of different
accounting methods being used for financial and tax reporting.

A valuation allowance has been established against the realization of the
deferred tax assets since the Company has determined that the operating loss
carryforwards may not be realized.
The Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $54,000,000 expiring between 2023 and 2027.
Upon adoption of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, the Company had no gross
unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the
effective income tax rate in future periods. At December 31, 2007 the amount of
gross unrecognized tax benefits before valuation allowances and the amount that
would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods after
valuation allowances were zero. These amounts consider the guidance in FIN 48-1,
"Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48". The Company has not
accrued any additional interest or penalties as a result of the adoption of FIN
48.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporations Act (the "Colorado
Act") authorizes a Colorado corporation to indemnify any director against
liability incurred in any proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Unless limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation, Section
7-109-105 of the Colorado Act authorizes a director to apply for indemnification
to the court conducting the proceeding or another court of competent
jurisdiction. Unless limited by the articles of incorporation, Section 7-109-107
of the Colorado Act extends this same right to officers of a corporation as
well.
Unless limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation, Section
7-109-103 of the Colorado Act requires that a Colorado corporation indemnify a
director who was wholly successful in defending any proceeding to which he or
she was a party against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Unless limited by the articles of incorporation, Section 7-109-107 of the
Colorado Act extends this same protection to officers of a corporation as well.
Pursuant to Section 7-109-104 of the Colorado Act, a Colorado corporation
may advance a director's expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking and a written affirmation of his or her good
faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct specified in Section
7-109-102 described above. Unless limited by the articles of incorporation,
Section 7-109-107 of the Colorado Act extends this same protection to officers
of a corporation as well.
Regardless of whether a director or officer has the right to indemnity,
Section 7-109-108 of the Colorado Act allows a Colorado corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on such directors or officers behalf against liability
resulting from his or her role as director or officer.
Our Articles of Incorporation do not limit any of the rights afforded to
our directors and officers under the Colorado Act and Article VI of our Bylaws
states that any director or officer who is involved in litigation by reason of
his or her position with us as a director or officer shall be indemnified and
held harmless by us to the fullest extent authorized by law as it now exists or
may subsequently be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights). Our directors and officers are also presently covered
by an insurance policy indemnifying them against certain liabilities, including
certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which might be incurred by
them in such capacities and against which they may not be indemnified by us. We
believe that the indemnification and insurance provided to our directors and
officers is necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and
officers.
To the extent indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons under
the above provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
During the period between November 2004 and February 2005, we issued
convertible notes (the "10% Notes") to forty-one accredited investors in the
aggregate principal amount of $2,360,000 in exchange for $2,360,000 in cash. Our
net proceeds were $2,124,000, after the payment of a 10% placement agent fee to
Burnham Hill Partners, a division of Pali Capital, Inc., who acted as placement
agent for the financing. The 10% Notes bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum.
Pursuant to the terms of the 10% Notes, on August 25, 2005 the outstanding
principal amount of these loans, together with all accrued but unpaid interest
thereunder, automatically converted into 6,023,932 shares of our common stock
and 1,505,989 Series G-BH Warrants to purchase common stock. The Series G-BH
Warrants have an exercise price of $2.50 per share of common stock, expire
August 25, 2010, and, so long as certain other conditions are met, are callable
by us the first day after the 30-trading-day average price of our common stock
exceeds $3.50 per share. In addition, the 10% Note holders were issued 1,416,000
Series E Warrants. These Series E Warrants had an original exercise price of
$0.60 per share of common stock and expire five years from the respective
noteholder's 10% Note issuance date. However, pursuant to the anti-dilution
provisions of the Series E Warrants, our subsequent issuances of securities have
resulted in a reduced exercise price of $0.51 per share as of July 31, 2008. In
the event the closing bid price of our common stock exceeds $2.50 per share and
certain other conditions are met, 50% of the Series E Warrants are callable by
us during the first two years after the date of issuance of the Series E
Warrants, and 100% of the Series E Warrants are callable by us thereafter.
During the period between February 2005 and April 2005, we secured private
debt financing from ten accredited investors in the original aggregate principal
amount of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000). Our net proceeds were Five
Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand Dollars ($528,000) after the payment of a 12%
placement agent fee to Brookstreet Securities Corporation, who acted as
placement agent for the financing. The debt was evidenced by thirteen
Convertible Bridge Notes (the "8% Notes"), which bore interest at a rate of 8%
per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the terms of the 8% Notes, on July 15, 2005
the outstanding principal amount of these loans, together with all accrued but
unpaid interest thereunder, automatically converted into 1,540,244 shares of our
common stock.
During the period between April 2005 and November 2005, we sold a
combination of common stock and warrants in a private placement transaction to
189 accredited investors (the "2005 Private Placement"). The common stock and
warrants were sold as "units," with each unit consisting of four shares of
common stock and one Series G Warrants to purchase common stock. The price per
unit was $2.00. We raised aggregate gross proceeds of $7,128,375 under this
private placement transaction and issued 14,256,750 shares of common stock and
II-2
Series G Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,564,188 shares of common stock.
The Series G Warrants have an exercise price of $2.50 per share of common stock,
expire five years from their respective date of issuance, and, so long as
certain other conditions are met, are callable by us the first day after the
30-trading-day average price of our common stock exceeds $3.50 per share. Our
net proceeds from the 2005 Private Placement were $6,272,970 after the payment
of $855,405 in placement agent fees to Brookstreet Securities Corporation, who
acted as placement agent for the transaction.
In July 2005, we issued 200,000 Series I Warrants to designees of Burnham
Hill Partners, a division of Pali Capital, Inc., for financial advisory services
rendered. The Series I Warrants have an issuance date of February 11, 2005. The
Series I Warrants had an original exercise price of $0.60 per share of common
stock and expire on February 11, 2010. However, pursuant to the anti-dilution
provisions of the Series I Warrants, our subsequent issuances of securities have
resulted in a reduced exercise price of $0.51 per share as of July 31, 2008.
In August 2005, we issued 602,393 Series J placement agent warrants to
designees of Burnham Hill Partners, a division of Pali Capital, Inc., for
placement agent services provided in conjunction with the 10% Note financing
described above. The Series J Warrants had an original exercise price of $0.50
per share of common stock and expire August 25, 2010. However, pursuant to the
anti-dilution provisions of the Series J Warrants, our subsequent issuances of
securities have resulted in a reduced exercise price of $0.47 per share as of
July 31, 2008.
In January 2006, we issued 231,036 Series F placement agent warrants to
Brookstreet Securities Corporation and its designees for placement agent
services provided in conjunction with the 8% Note financing described above. The
Series F Warrants have a grant date of April 23, 2005. The Series F Warrants
have an exercise price of $0.40 per share of common stock and expire on the
earlier of April 23, 2010 or upon a merger, acquisition, consolidation, sale of
voting control or sale of substantially all of our assets in which our
shareholders do not own a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving
corporation.
In January 2006, we issued Series H placement agent warrants to acquire up
to 2,138,513 shares of common stock to Brookstreet Securities Corporation and
its designees for placement agent services rendered in conjunction with the 2005
Private Placement described above. The Series H Warrants had an original
exercise price of $0.50 per share of common stock, which was subsequently
reduced to as low as $0.47 per share pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of
the warrants. All previously unexercised Series H Warrants expired in accordance
with their terms on November 23, 2007.
In July 2006, we issued senior convertible notes in the original principal
amount of $5,000,000 to three accredited investors. The senior convertible notes
had a maturity date of July 31, 2008 and an initial conversion price of $0.43948
per share of common stock. In January 2007, we amended the terms of these senior
convertible notes to, among other things, increase the principal amount from
$5,000,000 to $8,804,909. As part of the same July 2006 transaction, we also
issued the accredited investors Series L Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
17,065,623 shares of our common stock and Series M Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 7,395,103 shares of our common stock. In January 2007, we increased
the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series L Warrants
to 22,754,163. The Series L Warrants are immediately exercisable and Series M
Warrants become exercisable only upon us requiring a mandatory conversion of
certain amounts of the senior convertible notes. On July 30, 2007, we conducted
mandatory conversions of an aggregate of $1,943,215 of principal and interest
underlying senior convertible notes issued in July 2006 and January 2007 into an
aggregate of 4,421,623 shares of common stock. As a result, 7,646,361 shares of
common stock underlying Series M-1 and M-2 Warrants became exercisable. Both the
Series L Warrants and the Series M Warrants had an initial exercise price of
II-3
$0.5054 per share of common stock and expired on July 31, 2011. In January 2007,
we amended the terms of these Series L Warrants and Series M Warrants to have a
reduced exercise price of $0.43948 per share of common stock and to expire 84
months after the date a registration statement covering shares of common stock
underlying the respective warrant is declared effective by the SEC.
In July 2006, we issued a warrant to the Montgomery 2006-5 Partnership, as
a designee of Montgomery & Co., LLC, to purchase 455,084 shares of our common
stock as partial consideration for placement agent services provided by

financing described above. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.43948 per
share of common stock and expires on July 31, 2013.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, we issued 46,979 shares of common stock

common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $54,400 upon the cash exercise
of outstanding warrants.

principal amount of $1,600,000 to an accredited investor. The senior convertible

$0.43948 per share of common stock. We also issued the accredited investor a
Series L-2 Warrant to purchase an aggregate of 7,395,103 shares of our common
stock and a Series M-2 Warrant to purchase an aggregate of 2,366,433 shares of
our common stock. The Series L-2 Warrant was immediately exercisable and the
Series M-2 Warrant became exercisable upon the mandatory conversion we conducted
in July 2007 as described above. Both the Series L-2 Warrant and the Series M-2
Warrant have exercise price of $0.43948 per share of common stock and expire 84
months after the date a registration statement covering shares of common stock
underlying the respective warrant is declared effective by the SEC.
In January 2007, we issued a warrant to the Montgomery 2007-1 Partnership,
as a designee of Montgomery & Co., LLC, to purchase 145,627 shares of our common
stock as partial consideration for placement agent services provided by

financing described above. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.43948 per
share of common stock and expires on January 19, 2014.
In March 2007, we issued 100,000 warrants to purchase common stock to
Newport Capital Consultants, Inc. for services rendered. The warrants have an

In July 2007, we issued a total of 60,000 common shares related to the
cash exercise of Series E Warrants for total proceeds of $31,200.
In August 2007, we issued senior secured convertible notes in the original
principal amount of $3.5 million to three accredited investors. The senior
secured convertible notes have a maturity date of August 1, 2010 and had an
initial conversion price of $1.2029 per share of common stock. Pursuant to the
full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions of the notes, our subsequent issuance of
securities in our April 2008 private placement has resulted in a reduced
conversion price of $0.50 per share. We also issued the accredited investors
Series N Warrants, Series O Warrants and Series P Warrants that initially
entitled the holders to purchase 2,909,636, 1,891,263 and 1,246,987 shares of
our common stock, respectively, at an initial exercise price of $1.2029 per
share. However, pursuant to the full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions of the
notes, our subsequent issuance of securities in our March 2008 private placement
has resulted in an increase in the number of shares purchasable under the
warrants to 7,000,000, 4,550,000 and 3,000,000, respectively, and a reduced
exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Series N and Series P Warrants are
immediately exercisable. The Series O Warrants will only become exercisable by a
holder if we conduct mandatory conversions of the notes, and then only to the
extent of 65% of the number of shares issued to such holder upon each mandatory
conversion. The Series N and Series O Warrants expire on the earlier of August
1, 2016 or seven years after the date all of the shares issuable upon conversion
of the notes have been included on an effective registration statement. The
Series P Warrants expire on the earlier of the maturity date of the notes of
August 1, 2010, which date may be extended by up to two years at the option of
the note holders, and the date we have satisfied our payment obligations under
the warrant holder's note.

II-5
During the second quarter of 2008, we issued 393,942 shares of common
stock upon the conversion of $171,212 in principal and $1,917 in unpaid interest
under convertible notes we issued in July 2006 and January 2007.
In April 2008, we issued 3.125 million shares of common stock, senior
convertible notes and Series Q Warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.125
million. The senior secured convertible notes have a maturity date of March 31,
2010 and had an initial conversion price of $1.00 per share of common stock.
Pursuant to the full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions of the notes, our
subsequent issuance of securities in our July 2008 private placement has
resulted in a reduced conversion price of $0.50 per share. The Series Q Warrants
initially entitled the holders to purchase 6,250,000 shares of common stock and
had an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share. However, pursuant to the
full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions of the Series Q Warrants, our subsequent
issuance of securities in our July 2008 private placement increased the number
of shares issuable under the Series Q Warrants to 12,500,000 and resulted in a
reduced strike price per share equal to the lower of (i) $0.50 and (ii) 75% of
the weighted average market price of our common stock during certain measuring
periods prior to the date a registration statement covering the shares
underlying the Series Q Warrants is declared effective by the SEC. The Series Q
Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on March 31, 2017.
In July 2008, we issued 1.25 million shares of common stock, senior
secured convertible notes in to original principal amount of $1.25 million,
Series R Warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock, and Replacement
Warrants to purchase 12,500,000 shares common stock to three accredited
investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.25 million. The senior secured
convertible notes have a maturity date of July 28, 2010 and an initial
conversion price of $1.00 per share of common stock. The Series R Warrants are
immediately exercisable, have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expire on
July 28, 2015. The Replacement Warrants become exercisable, on a one-for-one
basis, for every Series Q Warrant that the investors exercise, and expire on
July 28, 2015. The Replacement Warrants carry a strike price per share equal to
the lower of (i) $0.50, (ii) 75% of the weighted average market price of our
common stock during certain measuring periods prior to the date a registration
statement covering the shares underlying the Series Q Warrants is declared
effective by the SEC and (iii) 75% of the weighted average market price of our
common stock during certain measuring periods prior to the date the Series Q
Warrants are exercised.
The issuances of our securities described above were made in reliance upon
the exemption from registration available under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act, among others, as transactions not involving a public offering. This
exemption was claimed on the basis that these transactions did not involve any
public offering and the purchasers in each offering were accredited or
sophisticated and had sufficient access to the kind of information registration
would provide. In each case, appropriate investment representations were
obtained and certificates representing the securities were issued with
restrictive legends.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration fee" table in
the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA
FIDE offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the
registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than
registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in
reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser
with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such date of first use.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that for the purpose of
determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any
purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering
of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means
of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities
to such purchaser:
II-11
(1) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned
registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(2) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or
on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned registrant;
(3) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its
securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(4) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14 hereof, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-12
