1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Applied Energetics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ionatron Technologies, Inc. and North Star Power Engineering, Inc. as of September 30, 2011 (collectively, "company," "Applied Energetics," "we," "our" or "us"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been made. The results for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2011, may not be indicative of the results for the entire year. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company's audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following unaudited condensed financial statements are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its assumptions on historical experiences and on various other estimates that it believes 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. In addition, management considers the basis and methodology used in developing and selecting these estimates, the trends in and amounts of these estimates, specific matters affecting the amount of and changes in these estimates, and any other relevant matters related to these estimates, including significant issues concerning accounting principles and financial statement presentation. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future, as more information becomes known which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Significant estimates include revenue recognition under the percentage of completion method of contract accounting, estimating costs at completion on a contract, the valuation of inventory, carrying amount of long-lived assets, expected forfeiture rate on stock-based compensation and measurements of income tax assets and liabilities.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents are investments in money market funds or securities with an initial maturity of three months or less. These money market funds are invested in government and U. S. Treasury based securities.

FAIR VALUE OF CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The carrying amount of the accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment”. The objective of ASU 2011-08 is to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defied as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. ASU 2011-08 is effective for us for reporting periods after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements, as we currently do not have goodwill recorded on our financial statements.

Land	$	410,728		$	410,728

Buildings and improvements, leasehold improvements		2,313,004			2,246,153

Less accumulated depreciation and amortization		(3,680,679	)		(3,506,259	)

Net property and equipment	$	2,460,119		$	2,507,814

We review long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

We assess the recoverability of such long-lived assets by determining whether the amortization of the balances over their remaining lives can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows. The assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets will be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved. We conducted an impairment test for property and equipment in February 2011 for the December 31, 2010 reporting period and concluded that the carrying value of these assets is recoverable through expected future operating cash flows.

5.	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-Based Compensation – Employees and Directors

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, share-based compensation expense totaled approximately $51,000 and $156,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, share-based compensation expense totaled approximately $237,000 and $814,000, respectively.

- 7 -

There was no related income tax benefit recognized because our deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the compensation committee granted options to purchase 16,000 shares of our common stock to members of our Senior Advisory Board pursuant to the terms of their independent consultant agreements. As of September 30, 2011, $230,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock and restricted stock units is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.34 years.

We determine the fair value of share-based awards at their grant date, using a Black-Scholes-Merton Option-Pricing Model applying the assumptions in the following table.

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010
Expected life (years)	2.5 years			2.9 - 3 years
Dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected volatility		93.6	%		93.6	%
Risk free interest rates		0.85 - 1.12	%		1 - 1.5	%
Weighted average fair value of options at grant date	$	0.40		$	0.37

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 34,415 shares of restricted stock vested or were forfeited, options to purchase 48,084 shares were exercised, and options to purchase 190,247 shares were forfeited.

Warrants – Non-Employees

At September 30, 2011, there were no outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock as all previously outstanding warrants expired unexercised on August 8, 2011. At December 31, 2010, there were outstanding warrants to purchase approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock, which were issued in connection with the August 2006 financing. The exercise price of the warrants was $9.15.

6.	SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

Approximately 53% and 99% of revenues for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are generated from either the U.S. Government or contractors to the U.S. Government. Approximately 90% and 99% of revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are generated from either the U.S. Government or contractors to the U.S. Government.

7.	NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period before giving effect to stock options, stock warrants, restricted stock units and convertible securities outstanding, which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to convertible preferred stock, stock options, warrants and restricted stock units. Contingently issuable shares are included in the computation of basic loss per share when issuance of the shares is no longer contingent. Due to the losses from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, basic and diluted loss per common share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.

- 8 -

Potentially dilutive securities not included in the diluted loss per share calculation, due to net losses from continuing operations, were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010
Options to purchase common shares		4,028,590		4,245,255
Warrants to purchase common shares		-		1,024,939
Unvested restricted stock units		291,221		-
Convertible preferred stock		107,172		107,172

Total potentially dilutive securities		4,426,983		5,377,366

DIVIDENDS

As of September 30, 2011, we had 107,172 shares of our 6.5% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. A dividend was declared and paid in common stock on November 1, 2011 to the holders of record as of October 15, 2011.

Dividends on Preferred Stock are accrued when the amount and kind of the dividend is determined and are payable quarterly on the first day of February, May, August and November, in cash or shares of common stock, at the discretion of the company.

9.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION

On or about January 14, 2010, NewOak Capital Markets LLC ("NewOak"), formerly known as J. Giordano Securities, LLC, the placement agent for our October 2005 private placement of preferred stock, filed a Statement of Claim against us with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). NewOak alleges that we made material misrepresentations between May 2005 and May 10, 2006 concerning the status of our products.

NewOak was seeking indemnification and recovery for alleged breach of contract, unjust enrichment, quantum meruit, fraudulent misrepresentation, tortious interference with prospective economic relations and violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks an award of monetary damages in excess of $50,000,000, plus punitive damages and attorney’s fees and costs.

On July 13, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit dismissed the arbitration.

NewOak has advised us that it will continue to pursue its claim. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously in any legal proceeding, and believe we have substantial defenses to the claims. No accrual for loss has been established in connection with this potential matter as a reasonable estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.

In addition, we may from time to time be involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. As of the date of this report, we have not received notice of any other legal proceedings.

10.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We performed an evaluation of subsequent events and determined that no events required disclosure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures included elsewhere herein and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to the historical or current facts, and can be identified by the use of forward looking words such as "may", "believe", "will", “would”, “could”, “should”, "expect", "project", "anticipate", “estimates", “possible”, "plan", "strategy", "target", "prospect" or "continue" and other similar terms and phrases. These forward looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could significantly affect our current plans and expectations, as well as future results of operations and financial condition and may cause our actual results, performances or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations are described in Item 1A. (Risk Factors) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010. In making these forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe-harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.

OVERVIEW

Applied Energetics develops and manufactures applied energy systems for military and commercial applications. Through our technology development efforts, we have gained expertise and proprietary knowledge in high performance lasers and high-voltage electronics. We have delivered innovative technologies and systems to address urgent military requirements, including neutralizing improvised explosive devices (“IEDs”) and other high priority missions of U.S. military forces. Additionally, we develop and manufacture high-voltage and ultrafast laser systems for government and commercial customers for a range of applications.

Early in the third quarter of 2011, we initiated cost reduction measures that included reductions in force of non-critical personnel and reductions in employee, executive and board compensation. These reductions were intended to enable us to preserve resources and better weather the current government fiscal policy as we waited for official results of our C-IED technology from the US Marine Corps (“USMC”). Later in the third quarter, we were informed that the USMC was re-evaluating their plan for fielding direct electrical discharge technology for C-IED and would not be funding further procurement of our tested system. As of the date of this filing, we have not received official communications from the USMC regarding further C-IED efforts.

Also during the third quarter of 2011, we were issued a patent for an invention relating to igniting explosive devices through electric and/or electromagnetic discharge following the removal of a secrecy order. The patent claims priority to, and the benefit of, the earlier filing date from our provisional patent application filed on May 3, 2005.

In addition, we received an increase in funding of $379,000 from our customer, the U.S. Army’s Armament Research, Development and Engineering Command, to improve high voltage systems and optics to advance the Laser Guided Energy (“LGE”) technology toward a fielded system for testing at military installations.

We continued work on our High Voltage project for the Air Force Research Laboratory Phase II SBIR. This project utilizes our nested high voltage generator architecture to power a compact Marx generator for U.S. Air Force High Power Microwave applications. The project has a value of $746,000.

Our proprietary ultrafast laser systems, which are a commercial adaptation of our military development activities, offer better performance for high pulse energy, high average power or high repetition rate than other commercial ultrafast lasers for micromachining and other commercial applications. Micromachining applications include drilling, cutting, and engraving metals, composites and ceramics. During the third quarter of 2011, we completed our ultrafast laser application center, which is a major part of our strategy for the development of customers and partners for our new ultrafast laser products into the commercial industrial markets. This new application center enables potential customers and strategic partners to use our ultrafast laser systems to demonstrate and validate new and emerging applications prior to purchasing our ultrafast lasers systems. In the short time our ultrafast laser application center has been operational, we have processed samples of stainless steel, quartz, glass, graphite, copper and polymer materials. In addition, we have entered into a cooperative work agreement with Laser Light Technologies, a leading contract manufacturer in the commercial micromachining market, to jointly develop ultra-short pulse lasers and processes for the laser micromachining market.

In the High Voltage product area, we have developed equipment that produces electron beams based on our proprietary nested high voltage generator design and components that are readily scalable to increasing power levels on the order 1 million volts of electricity and above. The small form factor for the power levels achievable from our equipment should be an advantage in a range of commercial applications that utilize electron beam radiation. This system can be used in a variety of commercial applications including materials processing, cross-linking of polymers, and electron beam sterilization. We have constructed an Electron Beam application center to demonstrate our compact nested high voltage generator products to potential manufacturing customers who use electron and ion beams in their manufacturing processes, and so they can appreciate the significantly smaller size of the system compared to other commercially available systems with similar capabilities. This center enables these potential customers and strategic partners to use our nested high voltage generator system to develop and validate new and emerging applications prior to purchasing new Electron Beam systems.

We continuously evaluate the commercial viability of each of our technologies and, if we determine that the commercial viability of a technology is not justified by the investment needed to generate meaningful revenues, we may determine to discontinue such efforts.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue includes manufacturing labor, benefits and overhead, and an allocation of allowable general and administration and research and development costs in accordance with the terms of our government contracts.

Cost of revenue decreased by approximately $2.4 million to $633,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in cost of revenue is mostly tied to the decrease in sales, but includes an obsolete inventory adjustment charge of approximately $36,000 and increased cost relating to our High Voltage product line, causing a loss on this line of approximately $47,000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $432,000 to $844,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $412,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase is attributable to the lack of absorption of $1.2 million of applied labor and overheads previously charged to government contracts, and an increase in litigation expense of $28,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in salaries, wages and benefits of $535,000, professional services of $157,000, non-cash compensation costs $90,000, and depreciation and amortization expense of $14,000.

SELLING AND MARKETING

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $86,000 to $221,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $135,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in sales and marketing is mostly tied to increases in business development expenses of $33,000 associated with the introduction of our new products into the commercial market and bid and proposal expenses of $53,000.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses increased by $622,000 to $678,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $56,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the third quarter of 2011, we accelerated development of commercial applications for our ultrafast laser technologies and our Electron Beam Nested High Voltage technologies. These two key projects involve establishing commercial product lines for ultrafast Lasers offering higher energy and average power than currently available and for our nested high voltage electron beam gun technologies to enable a wider range of commercial applications.

INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was lower by approximately $1,000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

NET LOSS

Our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in a net loss of approximately $1.8 million, an increase of approximately $1.4 million compared to the $329,000 loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

LGE product line revenue decreased $750,000 to $1.6 million, and the ultrafast laser revenue decreased by $484,000 to $181,000. Offsetting these decreases was the increase in the High Voltage product line revenue of $427,000 to $478,000.

COST OF REVENUE

Cost of revenue decreased approximately $4.9 million to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in cost of revenue is mostly tied to the decrease in sales.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $728,000 to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is attributable to the lack of absorption of $2.3 million of applied labor and overheads previously charged to government contracts. There was also an increase in litigation professional fees of $105,000. These increases were partially offset by reductions in salaries, wages, benefits and temporary help of $818,000, in non-cash compensation costs of approximately $553,000, in professional services of $241,000, and supplies and building related expenses of $57,000.

SELLING AND MARKETING

INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was lower by approximately $4,000 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

NET LOSS

Our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in a net loss of approximately $4.7 million, an increase of approximately $2.7 million compared to the $2.0 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our net loss attributable to common stockholders per common share – basic and diluted - increased by $0.03 per share, largely due to an increase in our net loss.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2011, we had approximately $5.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. Our cash position decreased during the first nine months of 2011 by approximately $3.5 million. During the first nine months of 2011, we received approximately $6.0 million in cash from customers, and paid approximately $9.4 million to our suppliers and employees. Investing activities resulted in net cash outflow of approximately $211,000 and financing activities resulted in net cash inflow of approximately $24,000.

We anticipate that short-term funding needs will be provided by existing cash and cash equivalents. Based upon our current level of cash expenditures, we anticipate net cash outflows in the range of $1.8 – 2.7 million during the next twelve month period ending September 30, 2012. We expect to continue to have negative cash outflows until such time, if ever, that we begin to generate meaningful sales of our non-defense commercial products. We believe that we have sufficient working capital to fulfill existing contracts and expected contracts for at least the next twelve months.

BACKLOG OF ORDERS

At September 30, 2011, we had a backlog (workload remaining on signed contracts) of approximately $925,000, to be completed within the next twelve months.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about January 14, 2010, NewOak Capital Markets LLC ("NewOak"), formerly known as J. Giordano Securities, LLC, the placement agent for our October 2005 private placement of preferred stock, filed a Statement of Claim against us with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). NewOak alleged that we made material misrepresentations between May 2005 and May 10, 2006 concerning the status of our products.

On July 13, 2011 the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit dismissed the arbitration.

NewOak has advised us that it will continue to pursue its claim. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously in any legal proceeding, and believe we have substantial defenses to the claims.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors are applicable to our commercial laser operations:

The long sales cycles for our products may cause us to incur significant expense without offsetting revenues.

Our potential customers are likely to view the purchase of our products as a significant and strategic decision. As a result, we expect them to expend significant effort in evaluation, testing and qualifying our products before making a decision to purchase them, resulting in a lengthy initial sales cycle. While our customers are evaluating our products and before they place an order with us, we may incur substantial sales and marketing and research and development expenses to customize our products to the customers’ needs. We may also expend significant management efforts, increase manufacturing capacity and order long lead-time components or materials prior to receiving an order. Even after this evaluation, a potential customer may not purchase our products. As a result, these long sales cycles may cause us to incur significant expenses without ever receiving revenue to offset such expense.

Our commercial laser systems are complex in design and may contain defects that are not detected until installed and operated by our customers, which could increase our costs and reduce our revenues.

Laser systems are inherently complex in design and require ongoing regular maintenance. The manufacture of our lasers involves a highly complex and precise process. As a result of the technological complexity of our products, changes in our or our suppliers’ manufacturing processes or the inadvertent use of defective materials by us or our suppliers could result in a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields and product reliability. To the extent that we do not achieve and maintain our projected yields or product reliability, our business operating results, financial condition and customer relationships would be adversely affected.

Our customers may discover defects in our products after the products have been fully installed and operated under the end user’s peak stress conditions. In addition, some of our products are combined with products from other vendors, which may contain defects. As a result, should problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem, If we are unable to identify and fix defects or other problems, we could experience, among other things:

Loss of customers;

Increased costs of product returns and warranty expenses;

Damage to our brand reputation

Failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance;

Diversion of development and engineering resources; and

Legal actions, including for personal injury and property damage, by our customers and/or their end users.

- 15 -

The occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing factors could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The commercial markets for our laser products are unpredictable and characterized by rapid technological changes and evolving standards demanding a significant investment in research and development, and, if we fail to address changing market conditions, our business and operating results will be harmed.

The photonics industry is characterized by extensive research and development, rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, changes in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. Because this industry is subject to rapid change, it is difficult to predict its potential size or future growth rate. Our success in generating revenues in this industry will depend on, among other things:

Building our relationships with our customers;

the education of potential end-user customers about the benefits of lasers and laser systems; and

our ability to accurately predict, and develop our products to meet, industry standards.

We cannot assure you that our expenditures for research and development will result in the introduction of new products or, if such products are introduced, that those products will achieve sufficient market acceptance or to generate sales to offset the costs of development. Our failure to address rapid technological changes in our markets could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
