NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited financials statements have been prepared by Lightwave Logic, Inc. (the Company). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of its normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting polices described in the Summary of Accounting Policies included in the 2008 Annual Report. Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally indicated in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company firmly believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim operating results for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2009 may not be indicative of operating results expected for the full year.

Loss per Share

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 260, “Earnings per Share”, resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for each of the three and nine months ending September 30, 2009 and 2008, common stock equivalents consisting of options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the basic and diluted net loss per share for each of these periods was the same.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the September 30, 2008 financial statements to conform to the September 30, 2009 presentation. The most significant is the non-cash cost of a consulting agreement in conjunction with the warrants purchase agreement valued at $976,193 issued during the second quarter of 2008. The expense was reclassified from research and development to general and administrative expense due to a change in allocation methodology.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this standard relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, it provides a one-year deferral of the effective date for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. The Company adopted this standard for financial assets and financial liabilities and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities disclosed or recognized at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) as of January 1, 2008. The Company adopted the standard for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard in each period did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

FASB ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. This standard also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This standard is not currently applicable to the Company.

FASB ASC 810-10 requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The standard establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that does not result in deconsolidation and expands disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard is not currently applicable to the Company.

FASB ASC 815-10 is effective January 1, 2009. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities to allow for a better understanding of their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Among other things, this standard requires disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and associated gains and losses in a tabular formant. This standard is not currently applicable to the Company since the Company does not have derivative instruments or hedging activity.

In April 2008, FASB ASC 350-30 and 275-10 amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASC 260-10 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not currently have any share-based awards that would qualify as participating securities. Therefore, application of this standard is not expected to have an effect on the Company's financial reporting.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 470-20 which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The standard includes guidance that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion should be separated between the liability and equity components, with each component being accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest costs are recognized in subsequent periods. This standard is currently not applicable to the Company since the Company does not have any convertible debt.

FASB ASC 815-10 and 815-40 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception for the purpose of determining whether the instrument is classified as an equity instrument or accounted for as a derivative instrument which would be recognized either as an asset or liability and measured at fair value. The standard shall be applied to outstanding instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this standard is initially applied. Any debt discount that was recognized when the conversion option was initially bifurcated from the convertible debt instrument shall continue to be amortized. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principles shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2009, and was not required to reclassify any of its warrants as liabilities.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 825-10 which requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods. This standard is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 320-10 which amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt and equity securities. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This standard is currently not applicable to the Company since the Company does not have any investments in debt and equity securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855-10 which is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. However, since the Company is a public entity, management is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that financial statements are issued and disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as the date the financial statements were issued. This standard was adopted for its interim period ending June 30, 2009. Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 13, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial reporting.

As of September 30, 2009, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through No. 2009-12. None of the ASU’s have had an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

As of September 30, 2009, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted which would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow during the development stage. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company is in the development stage at September 30, 2009. With the $455,000 of proceeds from exercise of warrants that were exercised in October, 2009, the Company should have funds to maintain its operations through May 2010. Currently, the remaining outstanding warrants if exercised before their expiration should supply the necessary funds to maintain its operations through September 2010. The Company has developed and completed one of its two prototype modulator concepts in October 2009 and is in evaluation and testing. The Company continues to develop and test its next generation Electro-Optic material platform. Management is in the process of finalizing a business plan that it believes will be attractive enough to investors to raise the necessary capital. The successful completion of the Company’s prototypes could lead to adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieve a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s business plan for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing and/or equity investment or achieve an adequate sales level.

NOTE 3 – DEFERRED CHARGES

Deferred charges represent the unamortized fair value of the issuance of common stock and warrants for future services to non-employees which was accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 505.50, as follows with the deferred charge fully amortized at September 30, 2009:


			September 30, 2009		December 31, 2008

Common stock		$	2,811,400	$	2,811,400

Depreciation expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $10,662 and $12,213.

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

This represents legal fees and patent fees associated with the registration of patents. The Company has not recorded any amortization expenses since the patents have yet to be declared effective. Once issued, the cost of the patents will be amortized over their legal lives, which is generally 20 years.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 since management has determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of January 1, 2009, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, or any tax related interest of penalties. There were no changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended September 30, 2009. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2009 related to unrecognized tax benefits. Tax years from 2005 through 2008 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our Company’s Articles of Incorporation, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue series of preferred stock with any designations, rights and preferences as they may from time to time determine. The rights and preferences of this preferred stock may be superior to the rights and preferences of our common stock; consequently, preferred stock, if issued could have dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the common stock. Additionally, preferred stock, if issued, could be utilized, under special circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our business or a takeover from a third party.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

Common Stock and Warrants

The stockholders’ deficit at January 1, 2004 has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the reverse acquisition at July 14, 2004 after giving effect to the difference in par value with the offset to additional paid-in-capital.

In July 2004, the Company issued to related parties 1,600,000 shares of its common stock for professional services valued at $256,000, fair value.

In August 2004, the Company issued 637,500 shares of its common stock for professional services to related parties valued at $75,000, fair value.

In December 2004, the Company converted a note payable of $30,000 into 187,500 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.16 per share.

In April 2005, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement for proceeds of $1,000,000.

On May 4, 2005, the Company converted the notes payable of $499,000 into 3,118,750 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.16 per share.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our plans and financial condition. The following selected financial information is derived from our historical financial statements and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere herein and the "Forward-Looking Statements" explanation included herein.

Overview

Lightwave Logic, Inc., formerly, Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc., formerly, PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc., formerly Eastern Idaho Internet Service, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1997, where we engaged in the business of marketing Internet services until June 30, 1998 when our operations were discontinued. We were then inactive until we acquired PSI-TEC Corporation as our wholly owned subsidiary on July 14, 2004, at which time our name was changed to PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. On October 20, 2006, we completed a parent-subsidiary merger with PSI-TEC Corporation whereby we were the surviving corporation of the merger, and our name was changed to Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc. On March 10, 2008, we changed our name to Lightwave Logic, Inc. to better suit our strategic business plan and to facilitate stockholder recognition of our Company and its business.

We are a developmental stage company that has developed and continues to develop high-activity, high-stability electro-optic polymers (plastics) that we believe could have a broad range of applications in the electro-optic device market. We engineer our proprietary electro-optic plastics at the molecular level for superior performance, stability, cost-efficiency and ease of processability. We expect our electro-optic plastics to broadly replace more expensive, lower-performance materials that are currently used in fiber-optic ground, wireless and satellite communication networks.

In order to transmit digital information at extremely high-speeds (wide bandwidth) over the Internet, it is necessary to convert the electrical signals produced by a computer into optical signals for transmission over long-distance fiber-optic cable. The actual conversion of electricity to an optical signal may be performed by a molecularly-engineered material known as an electro-optic plastic.

We are currently developing electro-optic plastics that promise performance many times faster than any technology currently available and that have unprecedented thermal stability. High-performance electro-optic materials produced by our Company have demonstrated stability as high as 350 degrees Celsius. Stability above 300 degrees Celsius is necessary for vertical integration into many semi-conductor production lines. Recent results, independently confirmed by the University of Arizona, have demonstrated that the molecular performance of some of our Company's molecular designs perform 650% better than competitive electro-optic compounds.

-27-

Our revenue model relies substantially on the assumption that we will be able to successfully develop electro-optic products for applications within the industries described below. When appropriate, we intend to create specific materials for each of these applications and use our proprietary knowledge base to continue to enhance its discoveries.

Satellite Reconnaissance

Navigational Systems

Radar Applications

Telecommunications

Optical Interconnects

Optical Computing

Entertainment

Medical Applications

To be successful, we must, among other things:

Develop and maintain collaborative relationships with strategic partners;

Continue to expand our research and development efforts for our products;

Develop and continue to improve on our manufacturing processes and maintain stringent quality controls;

Produce commercial quantities of our products at commercially acceptable prices;

Rapidly respond to technological advancements;

Attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and

Obtain and retain effective intellectual property protection for our products and technology.

We believe that Moore's Law (a principle which states the number of transistors on a silicon chip doubles approximately every eighteen months) will create markets for our high-performance electro-optic material products.

Plan of Operation

Since our inception, we have been engaged primarily in the research and development of our polymer materials technologies and potential products. We are devoting significant resources to engineer next-generation electro-optic plastics for future applications to be utilized by electro-optic device manufacturers, such as telecommunications component and systems manufacturers, networking and switching suppliers, semiconductor companies, aerospace companies and government agencies. We expect to continue to develop products that we intend to introduce to these rapidly changing markets and to seek to identify new markets. We expect to continue to make significant operating and capital expenditures for research and development activities.

As we move from a development stage company to a product vendor, we expect that our financial condition and results of operations will undergo substantial change. In particular, we expect to record both revenue and expense from product sales, to incur increased costs for sales and marketing and to increase general and administrative expense. Accordingly, the financial

-28-

condition and results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements are not expected to be indicative of our future financial condition and results of operations.

On August 8, 2006, we contracted with Triple Play Communications Corporation, a design and market consulting company, to deliver a comprehensive market opportunity assessment report for high speed 40G (commercial) & 100G+ (military/aerospace) modulators and system applications.

In August, 2006 we entered into a co-location agreement with InPlane Photonics, a New Jersey-based micro-optics company that allowed our scientists to establish a pre-production line in order to test and integrate our organic materials into waveguide devices and system prototypes as a first step toward product commercialization. This agreement was terminated at the end of January 2007 so that we could focus on pursuing a strategic relationship with Photon-X LLC, a Pennsylvania-based firm with extensive experience in polymer waveguide processing. We entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Photon-X, LLC in December 2006 to work towards creating a “fee for services” agreement with Photon-X, LLC to design, develop, produce and market electro-optic components based upon our polymer technology, which we ultimately finalized in March 2007. This agreement with Photon-X, LLC enables our Company access to a full suite of fabrication facilities capable of producing commercial quantities of precision micro-optic devices such as high-speed (40GHz) telecom modulators, optical filters, and optical interconnects important to military and civilian global information movement and management markets.

On September 25, 2006 we obtained independent laboratory results that confirmed the thermal stability of our Perkinamine electro-optic materials. Thermal stability as high as 350 degrees Celsius was confirmed, significantly exceeding many other commercially available high performance electro-optic materials, such as CLD-1 which exhibits thermal degradation in the range of 250 degrees Celsius to 275 degrees Celsius. This high temperature stability of our materials eliminates a major obstacle to vertical integration of electro-optic polymers into standard microelectronic manufacturing processes (e.g. wave/vapor-phase soldering) where thermal stability of at least 300 degrees Celsius is required. In independent laboratory tests, ten-percent material degradation, a common evaluation of overall thermal stability, did not occur until our Perkinamine material base was exposed to temperatures as high as 350 degrees Celsius, as determined by Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The test results supported our Company's progress to introduce our materials into commercial applications such as optical interconnections, high-speed telecom and datacom modulators, and military/aerospace components.

In July 2007, our Company developed an innovative process to integrate our unique architecture into our anticipated commercial devices, whereby dendritic spacer systems are attached to its core chromophore. In the event we are successful in developing a commercially viable product, we believe these dendrimers will reduce the cost of manufacturing materials and reduce the cost and complexity of tailoring the material to specific customer requirements.

In January 2008, we retained TangibleFuture, Inc., a San Francisco based technology analysis and business development consulting company, to generate an independent assessment

-29-

of our business opportunities in the fiber-optic telecommunications and optical computing sectors and develop strategies to penetrate those potential markets.

In March 2008, we commenced production of our first prototype photonic chip, which we delivered to Photon-X, LLC to fabricate a prototype polymer optical modulator and measure its technical properties. As a result of delays caused by engineering setbacks related to our material production, the production of our first prototype photonic chip was temporarily halted, along with the completion of our proof of concept tests that were being administered by Dr. Robert Norwood at the University of Arizona Photonics Department. In order to address this issue, Dr. David Eaton’s role and responsibilities with the Company were significantly expanded, and we added two veteran synthetic chemists to our science and technology team. We have since overcome a majority of these engineering setbacks and we are currently in the continual process of extensive testing for material performance, including, among other tests, the (r33) Teng-Man testing protocol. In June 2009 we released test results conducted by Dr. C.C. Teng that re-confirmed our previous test results, and we intend to deliver completed independent validated material performance test results, including the (r33) Teng-Man testing protocol, as they become ripe for release.

In August 2009, Photon-X, LLC commenced a compatible study, process sequences, and fabricated wafers/chips containing arrays of phase modulators. The first one hundred plus modulators were completed at the end of October 2009, and are currently being characterized for insertion loss, Vpi, modulation dynamic range and initial frequency response. We expect these tests to be completed sometime during the fourth quarter 2009. The multi-step manufacturing process we utilized to fabricate our modulators involved exposing our proprietary Perkinamine material to extreme conditions that are typically found in standard commercial manufacturing settings. Our step-by-step analysis throughout the fabrication process demonstrated to us that our Perkinamine material can successfully withstand each step of the fabrication process without damage. We anticipate completing the development and building of functional prototype 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s modulators during the first and second quarter of 2010. However, we may incur delays in this process due to slower than expected material production within our laboratories and/or delays caused by the production of the modulator and testing procedures.

In August 2009, we retained Perdix, Inc. to help us identify and build prototype products for high growth potential target markets in fiber optic telecommunications systems. During October 2009, we initiated the development and production of our prototype amplitude modulator, which can ultimately be assembled into 1- and 2- dimensional arrays that are useful for optical computing applications, such as encryption and pattern recognition. We expect our initial prototype amplitude modulator to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter 2009.

We ultimately intend to use our next-generation electro-optic plastics for future applications vital to the following industries. We expect to create specific materials for each of these applications as appropriate:

Satellite Reconnaissance

Navigational Systems

Radar Applications

-30-

Telecommunications

Optical Interconnects

Optical Computing

Entertainment

Medical Applications

In an effort to maximize our future revenue stream from our electro-optic polymer products, we are currently evaluating each of or some combination of the following approaches:

Licensing our technology for individual specific applications;

Entering into collaborative or joint venture agreements with one or a number of partners; or

Selling our products directly to commercial customers.

Additionally, we must create an infrastructure, including operational and financial systems, and related internal controls, and recruit qualified personnel. Failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to support our operations.

We have incurred substantial net losses since inception. We have satisfied our capital requirements since inception primarily through the issuance and sale of our common stock. During 2004 we raised approximately $529,000 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, of which $30,000 was converted into common stock of the company during 2004 and the remaining $499,000 converted in 2005. Also, during 2005, we raised an aggregate of $1,000,000 from the private sale of our common stock. During 2006, we raised approximately $425,000 from the private sale of our common stock, of which $200,000 was rescinded during 2007. During 2007, we raised approximately $2,301,524 from the private sale of our common stock. During 2008, we raised approximately $414,000 from the private sale of our common stock and $375,270 upon the exercise of existing warrant holder’s warrants. Through June 30, 2009, we raised approximately $855,000 from the sale of our private stock. We have also issued shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for services rendered to our company, including professional services. During October 2009 we obtained proceeds of $455,000 from the exercise of existing warrant holder’s warrants.

Award

On September 26, 2006, we were awarded the 2006 Electro-Optic Materials Technology Innovation of the Year Award by Frost & Sullivan. Frost & Sullivan's Technology Innovation of the Year Award is bestowed upon candidates whose original research has resulted in innovations that have, or are expected to bring, significant contributions to multiple industries in terms of adoption, change, and competitive posture. This award recognizes the quality and depth of our Company's research and development program as well as the vision and risk-taking that enabled us to undertake such an endeavor.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months ended September 30, 2009 to three months ended September 30, 2008

Revenues

We had no revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 since we are a development stage company that has yet to commence revenue creating operations.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses were $617,762 and $1,195,974 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for a decrease of $578,212. This decrease in operating expenses was due primarily to a decrease in management fees, executive compensation and stock option amortization.

Included in our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $258,626 for research and development expenses compared to $525,792 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, for a decrease of $267,166. This is primarily due to a reduction in employee stock option amortization offset by an increase in laboratory expenses and material testing expenses.

Research and development expenses currently consist primarily of compensation for employees engaged in internal research and product development activities; laboratory operations, outsourced prototype E.O. device development and processing work; material testing; fees; costs; and related operating expenses.

We expect to continue to incur substantial research and development expense to develop and commercialize our electro-optic material platform. These expenses could increase as a result of continued development and commercialization of our electro-optic materials technology; subcontracting work to build prototypes; expanding and equipping in-house laboratories; hiring additional technical and support personnel; pursuing other potential business opportunities; and incurring related operating expenses.

Employee stock option amortization decreased $283,099 from $396,328 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $113,229 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Wages and salaries decreased $18,138 from $87,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $69,462 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

General and administrative expenses decreased $311,046 to $359,136 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $670,182 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease is due primarily to our decreases in management fees, market research fees, executive compensation, which were offset by an increase in accounting and administrative fees.

Management fees decreased $83,001 to $0 from $83,001 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 since the Company decided not to renew its management contract on February 28, 2009. Included in results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is amortization of warrants of $53,365 for accounting and administrative services. Legal fees decreased $5,987 to $16,732 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $22,719 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Market research, investor relations and public relation fees were $31,645 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. During the three month period ending September 30, 2009, the Company entered into a contract for market research, investor relations and public relations.

Executive compensation decreased $309,991 from $497,606 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $187,615 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to common stock awarded to the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer as part of the employment agreement executed in August 2008.

We expect general and administrative expense to increase in future periods as we increase the level of corporate and administrative activity, including increases associated with our operation as a public company; and significantly increase expenditures related to the future marketing, production and sales of our products.

Net Loss

Net loss was $617,843 and $1,194,101 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for a decrease of $576,258, primarily resulting from reduction in management fees, executive compensation and stock option amortization.

Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2009 to nine months ended September 30, 2008

The ($17,931) for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008 was due to a ($35,145) adjustment in accounts payable in 2008.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and support costs for management staff, and for other general and administrative costs, including executive, marketing, investor relations, accounting and finance, legal, consulting and other operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased $1,414,549 to $1,071,105 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2,485,654 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease is primarily due to warrant agreements for consulting services during the nine month period ending September 30, 2008 valued at $976,193. There were also decreases in management fees, executive compensation, legal fees and market research fees, which were offset by an increase in accounting, administrative and other costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Management fees decreased $293,006 to $55,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $348,336 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 since the Company decided not to renew its management contract on February 28, 2009.

Legal fees decreased $79,686 to $80,090 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $159,776 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was due to the Company filing its first Form 10K-SB with the SEC in March 2008.

Market research, investor relations and public relation fees decreased $107,942 to $33,307 from $141,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Executive compensation decreased $151,084 to $529,618 from $680,702 mostly due to common stock awarded to the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer as part of the employment agreement executed in August 2008.

Accounting including administrative fees increased $40,943 to $68,500 from $27,557 since the operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included fees associated with startup, preparation of the 2008 10-K, resolution of prior payroll tax filing issues primarily associated with the October 2006 reorganization and other accounting issues. Included in results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is amortization of warrants of $124,518 for accounting and administrative services. Management fees previously discussed for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $348,336 included accounting and administrative services.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 consists primarily of the settlement of a lawsuit in the amount of $47,500.

Net Loss

Net loss was $2,053,443 and $3,680,813 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for a decrease of $1,627,370, primarily resulting from the reduction in consulting expense and management fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us

-35-

to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe 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. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

We believe our critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 contains a discussion of these critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2008. See our Note 1 in our unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as set forth herein.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $795,833 and net cash used in investing activities was $73,703, which was due primarily to the Company’s research and development activities and general and administrative expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,232,872. At September 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $451,561, our assets totaled $861,381, our liabilities totaled $97,174, and we had stockholders’ equity of $764,207.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our future expenditures and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including: the progress of our research and development efforts; the rate at which we can, directly or through arrangements with original equipment manufacturers, introduce and sell products incorporating our plastic materials technology; the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; market acceptance of our products and competing technological developments; and our ability to establish cooperative development, joint venture and licensing arrangements. We expect that we will incur approximately $250,000 to $350,000 of expenditures through the remainder of 2009. Our cash requirements are expected to increase at a rate consistent with the Company’s path to revenue growth as we expand our activities and operations with the objective of commercializing our electro-optic plastic technology during the latter portion of 2009. The Company has completed prototype phase modulators and expects to complete the amplitude modulator by the end of the fourth quarter of 2009.

Our business does not presently generate the cash needed to finance our current and anticipated operations. We believe we have raised sufficient capital to finance our operations through May 2010, and outstanding warrants, if exercised before their expiration in April, 2010, could supply the necessary funds to maintain our operations through September 2010. However, we will need to obtain additional future financing after such time or times to continue to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities. Such future sources of financing may include cash from exercise of warrants, equity offerings,

-36-

exercise of stock options and proceeds from debt instruments; but we cannot assure you that such equity or debt financing will be available to us or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, or if planned revenues are not generated, we may be required to substantially limit our operations. This limitation of operations may include reductions in capital expenditures and reductions in staff and discretionary costs. The successful completion of the Company’s prototype should lead to adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieve a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s business plan for the foreseeable future.

We expect that our cash used in operations will increase during the remainder of 2009 and beyond as a result of the following planned activities:

The addition of management, sales, marketing, technical and other staff to our workforce;

Increased spending for the expansion of our research and development efforts, including purchases of additional laboratory and production equipment;

Increased spending in marketing as our products are introduced into the marketplace;

Developing and maintaining collaborative relationships with strategic partners;

Developing and improving our manufacturing processes and quality controls; and

Increases in our general and administrative activities related to our operations as a reporting public company and related corporate compliance requirements.

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2009 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the last quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
