PART
I
Item
1. Business
Waytronx,
Inc. (sometimes hereafter referred to as “Waytronx” or “the Company”) is a
Colorado corporation organized on April 21, 1998. The Company’s
principal place of business is located at Waytronx, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue,
Tualatin, Oregon 97062.
In May
2008, Waytronx formed a wholly owned subsidiary that acquired the assets of CUI,
Inc., a provider of electromechanical components and industrial controls for OEM
manufacturing. Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering
quality products, extensive application solutions, and superior personal
service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message
are a hallmark in the industry.
Through
the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company obtained 352,589 common shares
representing a 10.47% interest in Test Products International, Inc., a provider
of handheld test and measurement equipment.
The
Company is primarily focused on the commercialization of its innovative thermal
cooling technology, WayCoolTM, as
well as the continued expansion of the CUI product offering and market
reach.
WayCool
Thermal Management Technology
Utilizing
its patented hybrid mesh architecture, Waytronx can enhance system performance
and remove thermal barriers caused by "microwarming" in today's advanced
computing devices. The Waytronx architecture incorporates a variety
of patented and patent pending designs of a new scientific approach to
addressing intense heat generated in electronic systems, including central and
graphics processors, solar energy devices and power supplies. The
technology uses a capillary network of microchannels to transport fluid at a
rapid rate to move heat away from the source instead of traditional passive heat
transference through solid materials; thus, WayCool’s efficiency is not limited
to the thermal conductivity of the material. This fluid transport
ensures active removal of hot fluid from the area in contact with the heat
source and replacement with colder fluid. The result is a more even
temperature across the entire body of the cooling device
(isothermicity). As micro electronics components run at higher speeds with
more computing capacity, the primary gating factor is thermal management;
WayCool technology offers a highly scalable and cost effective
alternative.

Waytronx,
Inc. Business Strategy
The
implemented Company business strategy includes an expanding basis of innovative
ideas and products based on its thermal cooling technology,
WayCool™.
Licensing
The
Company has begun to implement a broad intellectual property licensing program
for select products to commercialize WayCoolTM. Through
this program, the WayCool thermal management cooling technology is intended to
be exploited through the development of worldwide license and royalty
agreements. This strategy has been adopted for several
reasons:
|
·
|
It
is considerably less capital intensive than developing manufacturing and
marketing capabilities.
|
|
·
|
It
provides revenue streams immediately through advance licensing
fees.
|
|
·
|
It
provides an opportunity to fund further research and to build/develop the
intellectual property portfolio of the
Company.
|
|
·
|
It
can provide continuous long-term revenue
streams.
|
|
·
|
It
provides a more rapid adaptation and proliferation of the WayCool thermal
management cooling technology.
|
|
·
|
It
expedites finding potential corporate
“partners”.
|
|
·
|
It
provides the opportunity for greater
margins.
|
These
benefits are intended to be used as the primary method for promoting rapid
adoption of WayCoolTM (Please
see above the section “WayCool Thermal Management Technology”) through licensing
agreements with various suppliers in the microprocessor-based electronics
markets. These include potential licensing relationships with chip
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original development manufacturers
(ODMs), as well as potential relationships with companies serving the
after-market retail market segment. It is intended that a worldwide
licensing strategy for WayCool will open significant business opportunities for
this technology in a number of vertical market applications. More
technical details of WayCool are discussed above in the section entitled WayCool
Thermal Management Technology.
Direct
Distribution
The May
2008 union of CUI with Waytronx makes readily available to Waytronx the existing
CUI electromechanical components and industrial controls manufacturing,
distribution and marketing network. This synergy opens to WayCool the
worldwide CUI personal relationships, and customer base.
Intellectual
Property Ownership of Waytronx Technology
The
following describes the evolution of the license and ownership of the Waytronx
technology patents:
·
|
On or about July 23,
2001, the Company entered into a Contract and License Agreement (hereafter
the “License Agreement”) with the inventor of the Company’s technology
that underlies the WayCool technology which agreement guaranteed the
inventor a minimum royalty of $50,000 the first year, $100,000 the second
year and $250,000 each year
thereafter.
|

|
·
|
On
January 10, 2005 and February 16, 2005, the inventor/owner of the
technology patent conveyed ownership of the WayCool and WayFast patents to
CH Capital, a related party of the Company, for value
received. CH Capital is a California general partnership
controlled by Bradley J. Hallock, currently a shareholder, Corporate
Secretary and William Clough, currently a shareholder, President/CEO and
director.
|
|
·
|
On
February 16, 2005, in consideration for the payment of two hundred
thousand dollars ($200,000), CH Capital conveyed the technology patent
rights to the Company.
|
|
·
|
On
March 24, 2006, CH Capital assigned to the Company all right, title and
interest to the WayCool patent in consideration for eight hundred thousand
dollars ($800,000) and a three year warrant to purchase 7,040,485 common
shares at a per share price of $0.20. The $800,000 amount
represents reimbursement for the time and money CH Capital spent acquiring
and developing the WayCool technology. This assignment has been
recorded and is a matter of record with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office. The Company now owns all right, title and
interest of the WayCool patent.
|
|
·
|
On
May 2, 2008, CH Capital assigned to the Company all right, title and
interest in the WayFast patent. WayFast is a next
generation developmental application of
WayCool.
|
Fusion
Three, LLC Settlement
During
May 2006 Fusion Three, LLC relinquished all rights and claims to any revenues
and fees of the Company in consideration for a three year warrant authorizing
Fusion Three, LLC to purchase up to five million six hundred thousand
(5,600,000) shares of our common stock at a per share price of $0.20 plus a
warrant to purchase up to one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of
our common stock at a per share price of $0.35 for 300,000 shares; $0.50 for
300,000 shares; $0.75 for 300,000 shares and $1.00 for 300,000 shares before
November 15, 2007. In compliance with the settlement agreement, the
common shares underlying these warrants were included in a registration
statement that was effective October 26, 2007.
Waytronx
Intellectual Property Protection
The
Company relies on various intellectual property laws and contractual
restrictions to protect its proprietary rights in products and
services. These include confidentiality, invention assignment and
nondisclosure agreements with its employees, contractors, suppliers and
strategic partners. The confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements
with employees, contractors and suppliers are in perpetuity or for a sufficient
length of time so as to not threaten exposure of proprietary
information. The Company retained Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear,
LLP, Banner & Witcoff, Ltd. and Law Offices of William W. Haefliger to
manage its current interests relative to the prosecution of the national and
international patents. The Company intends to pursue the registration
of our trademarks and service marks in the United States and

Patent and Trademark Office permitted our registration of the following
trademarks: RediAlert, Rapid Dispatch Emergency Signs, RediAd, Living Window and
OnScreen Technology. We are required to disclaim the unitary
expression because the individual component words of a complete descriptive
phrase are not registerable. This disclaimer does not impair the
“OnScreen” trademark or the “OnScreen technology” words when used in conjunction
with the trademark.
During
2006 and 2007 we filed applications with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office to register the following trademarks: WayCool, WayCoolant, WayFast and
Waytronx.
The
Company continuously reviews and updates the existing patent and trademark
filings and files new documentation both nationally and internationally (Patent
Cooperation Treaty) in a continuing effort to maintain up to date patent and
trademark protection of its intellectual property.
For those
applications pending, there is no assurance that the patents and trademark
registrations will be granted. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to
the risk that other parties may claim the Company infringes their existing
patent and trademark rights, which could result in the Company’s inability to
develop and market its products unless the Company enters into licensing
agreements with the technology owner or could force the Company to engage in
costly and potentially protracted litigation.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2008, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, had
forty-seven full-time and five part-time employees. None of its
employees is represented by a labor union. The Company considers its
relations with its employees to be good. The Company plans to add
additional staff as needed to handle all phases of its
business.

Item
1A. Risk
Factors
The
Company’s limited operating history makes evaluating its business and prospects
difficult.
The
Company has recently begun to direct its efforts to commercialization of the
WayCool thermal management cooling technology. The Company’s limited
operating history in this industry and the unique nature of the WayCool
technology makes evaluation of its future prospects very
difficult. To date commercialization of the WayCool technology has
not achieved profitability and the Company cannot be certain that it will
sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the
future. One should carefully consider the Company’s prospects in
light of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage
companies in new and rapidly evolving technology.
In May
2008, the Company acquired the assets of CUI, Inc., an Oregon based provider of
electronic components for Original Equipment Manufacturers. It is the
intention of management that the marketing, sales and distribution organization
of CUI will be beneficial to the future of the WayCool
technology. Notwithstanding that CUI has in recent years generated
positive cash flow, there is no assurance that the synergy between the Company
and CUI will result in a financial advantage for future
operations. Because of the newness of this business combination
future profitability is an uncertainty.
The
Company has all the risks of a new product developer in the technology
business.
The
Company, as the owner of the WayCool thermal management cooling technology
patents, assumed the responsibility for completing the development of the
WayCool thermal management cooling technology and determining which products to
commercialize utilizing the WayCool technology. Because this is a new
technology, there is a risk that the technology, operation and development of
products could be unsuccessful or that the Company will not be successful in
marketing any products developed with the WayCool technology. Such
failures would negatively affect the Company’s business, financial condition and
results of operations.
There is no assurance the
Company will achieve profitability.
To date
the Company has not received significant revenue from the WayCool thermal
management cooling technology. The Company has focused its scope of
operation to the commercialization of the innovative thermal cooling technology,
WayCool. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had a net
loss of $1,830,367. The Company will need to generate significant
revenues from the WayCool product line and CUI product offering to offset
current operational and development losses if the Company is to cover its
current overhead expenses, including further development costs and marketing
expenses. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve
profitability.
During
2007 and 2008, the Company funded its operations with net proceeds of
approximately $8.9 million it received from financing activities. The
Company believes that additional equity financing or debt will be necessary to
fund its operations until revenue streams are sufficient to fund operations;
however, the terms and timing of such additional equity or debt cannot be
predicted. The Company cannot assure that its revenues will be
sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses of the
Company. If revenues are not sufficient to cover all operating and
other expenses, the Company will require additional
funding.
9
The Company will be
dependent on third parties and certain relationships to fulfill its
obligations.
Because
it is the intention of the Company to license the manufacturing and distribution
of the WayCool technology to unrelated companies that are better equipped
financially and technologically to design and manufacture WayCool technology end
products, the Company will be heavily dependent on these third parties to
adequately and promptly provide the end product. The Company will be
dependent upon its ability to maintain the agreements with these designers and
manufacturers and other providers of raw materials and components who provide
the necessary elements to fulfill the Company’s product delivery obligations at
the negotiated prices.
The
market for electronics is
extremely competitive.
Because
the electronics industry is highly competitive, the Company cannot assure that
it will be able to compete effectively. The Company is aware of
several other companies that offer similar products, utilizing different
technology than its WayCoolTM technology. Many
of these competitors have been in the electronics business longer than the
Company and have significantly greater assets and financial resources than are
currently available to the Company. The Company expects competition
to intensify as innovation in the electronics industry advances and as current
competitors expand their market into the thermal management
sector. The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to compete
successfully against current or future competitors. Competitive
pressures could force the Company to reduce its prices and may make it more
difficult for the Company to attract and retain customers.
The
Company depends on key personnel and will need to recruit new personnel as its
business grows.
As a
small company, Waytronx, Inc. is currently dependent on the efforts of a limited
number of management personnel. The Company believes that given the
large amount of responsibility being placed on each member of its management
team, the loss of the services of any member of this team at the present time
would harm its business.
If the
Company is successful in expanding its product and customer base, the Company
will need to add additional key personnel as its business continues to
grow. If the Company cannot attract and retain enough qualified and
skilled staff, the growth of its business may be limited. The
Company’s ability to provide services to customers and expand its business
depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain staff with professional
experiences that are relevant to technology development and other functions the
Company performs. Competition for personnel with these skills is
intense. The Company may not be able to recruit or retain the caliber
of staff required to carry out essential functions at the pace necessary to
sustain or expand its business.
The
Company believes its future success will depend in part on the
following:
|
·
|
the
continued employment and performance of its senior
management,
|
|
·
|
its
ability to retain and motivate their officers and key employees,
and
|
|
·
|
its
ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain, and motivate other
highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing, sales and customer
service personnel.
|
If the Company fails to
adequately protect its patents, trademarks and proprietary rights, its business
could be harmed.
The
Company regards its patents, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual
property as critical to its success. The Company relies on trademark
and patent law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license
agreements with their employees, customers, partners and others to protect its
proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for
a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use the Company’s intellectual
property without its authorization. There is no assurance its pending
trademark applications for WayCool, WayCoolant, Waytronx, and WayFast will be
approved. Effective trademark, patent and trade secret protection may
not be available in every country in which the Company may in the future offer
its products. Therefore, the Company may be unable to prevent third
parties from infringement on or otherwise decreasing the value of its
trademarks, patents and other proprietary rights.
10
If the Company is to remain
competitive, the Company must be able to keep pace with rapid technological
change.
Because
the Company competes in the highly volatile electronics industry, the Company’s
future success depends, in part, on its ability to develop or license leading
technologies useful in its business, enhance the ease of use of existing
products, develop new products and technologies that address the varied needs of
customers, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards
and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. If the Company is
unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to incorporate new
technology in new features or products, the Company may not be able to adapt in
a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer
requirements.
The Company may infringe
intellectual property rights of third parties.
Litigation
regarding intellectual property rights is common in the technology
industry. The Company may, in the future, be the subject of claims
for infringement, invalidity or indemnification claims based on such claims of
other parties' proprietary rights. These claims, whether with or
without merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert
the Company’s attention and resources, or require the Company to enter into
royalty or licensing agreements. There is a risk that such licenses
would not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. Although the
Company believes it has full rights to use its current intellectual property
without incurring liability to third parties, there is a risk that its products
infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties.
Third parties may infringe
on the Company’s intellectual property rights
There can
be no assurance that other parties will not infringe on our intellectual
property rights with respect to its current or future
technologies. The Company expects that participants in its markets
will be increasingly subject to infringement claims as the number of services
and competitors in its industry segment grows. Any such claim, with
or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, create
service upgrade delays or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing
agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements might not be
available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. As a result,
any such claim of infringement by the Company could have a material adverse
effect upon its business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
The Company’s Common Stock
price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for individual
stockholders.
The
market price for the Company’s Common Stock is volatile and subject to wide

The Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation limits director liability, thereby making it difficult to bring
any action against them for breach of fiduciary duty.
The
Company is a Colorado corporation. As permitted by Colorado law, the
Company's Articles of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director's
fiduciary duty, with certain exceptions. These provisions may
discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of
fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by
shareholders on behalf of the Company against a director.
The Company may be unable to
meet its future capital requirements.
The
Company is dependent on receipt of additional capital to effectively execute its
business plan. If adequate funds are not available to the Company on
favorable terms, the Company will not be able to develop new products or enhance
existing products in response to competitive pressures, which could affect its
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot be certain
that additional financing will be available to it on favorable terms when
required, or at all. If the Company raises additional funds through
the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, such securities may
have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of its
common stock and its stockholders may experience additional
dilution.
Penny
stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of our
stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has adopted regulations
which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a
market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of
less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. As a
result, the Company’s Common Stock is subject to rules that impose additional
sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally
those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000,
or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by
these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written
consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the
delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by
the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer
must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the
broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this
fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the
market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules
may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities.
For the
foreseeable future, the Company’s securities will likely have a trading price of
less than $5.00 per share and will not be traded on any exchanges; therefore, we
will be subject to Penny Stock Rules. As a result of the aforesaid
rules regulating penny stocks, the market liquidity for our securities could be
severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell
our securities and the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the
secondary market.

The Company has never paid
dividends on its Common Stock and does not expect to pay any in the foreseeable
future. Preferred Shares impose restrictions on our ability to pay
Common Stock dividends.
A
potential purchaser should not expect to receive a return on their investment in
the form of dividends on our Common Stock. The Company has never paid
cash dividends on its Common Stock and the Company does not expect to pay
dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends on
our Common Stock is restricted by the terms of our agreements with the holders
of our Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of
our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to annual dividends of
10%. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has 50,543 Series A
Convertible Preferred shares outstanding and no Series B Convertible Preferred
shares outstanding. In the past, the Company has fulfilled its
dividend obligations on the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
through a combination of the issuance of additional shares of its Series A
Convertible Preferred and/or Common Stock and cash payments.
On
December 31, 2007 dividends payable for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
was $5,054 and on December 31, 2008 the dividends payable for the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock was $5,054. Holders of the Company’s
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to annual dividends of $1.00
per share. As of this filing, all Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock had been converted to common shares.
Substantial
sales of our Common Stock could cause our stock price to rapidly
decline.
The
market price of our Common Stock may fall rapidly and significantly due to sales
of our Common Stock from other sources such as:
|
·
|
Common
Stock underlying the conversion rights of our Series A and Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock.
|
|
·
|
Common
Stock underlying the exercise of outstanding options and
warrants.
|
|
·
|
Common
Stock, which are available for resale under Rule 144 or are otherwise
freely tradable and which are not subject to lock-up
restrictions.
|
|
·
|
Common
Stock available on the secondary
market.
|
|
·
|
Pledging
stock to hedge funds or other corporate lenders as security to borrow
money could result in short selling, encumbrance, stock pledge, transfer
or sale to procure a hedge against adverse market
conditions.
|
Any sale
of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the
perception that these sales might occur, whether as a result of the sale of
Common Stock received by shareholders upon conversion of our Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, exercise of outstanding warrants or options or
otherwise, could lower the market price of our Common
Stock. Furthermore, substantial sales of our Common Stock in a
relatively short period of time could have the effect of depressing the market
price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through
the sale of additional equity securities.
The
covenants with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shareholders restrict
our ability to incur debt outside the normal course, acquire other businesses,
pay dividends on our Common Stock, sell assets or issue our securities without
the consent of holders of a majority of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
outstanding. Such arrangements may adversely affect our future
operations or may require us to make additional concessions to the holders of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in order to enter into transactions or
take actions management deems beneficial and in the best interests of the
holders of our Common Stock.
13
Note conversions could
result in dilution of common stock
The
conversion of outstanding promissory notes may result in substantial dilution to
the interests of other holders of common stock, since the investors may
ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion under the
notes. To the extent the selling stockholders convert their notes and
then sell their common stock into the market, the common stock price may
decrease due to the additional shares in the market. As of December
31, 2008, $1,350,000 principal of outstanding promissory notes and 12% per annum
simple interest accruing thereon are convertible to
equity. $1,000,000 of these convertible promissory notes plus the
interest accruing thereon are convertible at a floating per share price
based at 80% of the average closing bid price 10 days preceding conversion
date. There is, however, a $0.20 per share minimum conversion price,
which means that there is a maximum number of 5,000,000 shares related to the
principal conversion plus an additional amount related to interest accrued at
the time of conversion that the company may be obligated to issue related to the
conversion of the $1,000,000 of convertible promissory notes. The
remaining $350,000 of outstanding convertible promissory notes plus the interest
accrued thereon are convertible at $0.25 per share, which means that there is a
maximum number of 1,400,000 shares related to the principal conversion plus an
additional amount related to the interest accrued at the time of conversion that
the Company may be obligated to issue related to the conversion of the $350,000
of convertible promissory notes. Additionally, as a portion of the
CUI, Inc. asset purchase consideration, the Company has outstanding a
$17,500,000 convertible promissory note that accrues annual simple interest at a
rate of 1.7% which could convert to Company common stock at a per share
conversion of $0.25. The convertible $17,500,000 promissory note is
convertible to the equivalent of 70,000,000 shares plus an additional amount
related to the interest accrued at the time of conversion that the Company may
be obligated to issue.
Downward pressure on the
stock price could encourage short selling
The
significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling
stockholders convert and sell material amounts of common stock could encourage
short sales by the selling stockholders or others. This could place
significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock.
In
finance, short selling or “shorting” is a way to profit from the decline in
price of a security, such as stock or bond. A short sale is generally
a sale of a stock you do not own. Investors who sell short believe
the price of the stock will fall. If the price drops, you can buy the
stock at the lower price and make a profit. If the price of the stock
rises and you buy it back later at the higher price, you will incur a
loss.
When you
sell short, your brokerage firm loans you the stock. The stock you
borrow comes from either the firm’s own inventory, the margin account of another
of the firm’s clients or another brokerage firm. As with buying stock
on margin, you are subject to the margin rules. Other fees and
charges may apply. If the stock you borrow pays a dividend, you must
pay the dividend to the person or firm making the loan.

Description of
Securities
The
Company currently has authorized 325,000,000 common shares $0.001 par value and
10,000,000 preferred shares $0.001 par value. Of the 10,000,000
authorized preferred shares, 5,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A
Convertible Preferred, 30,000 shares have been designated as Series B
Convertible Preferred and 10,000 shares have been designated as Series C
Convertible Preferred. As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s
outstanding shares consisted of 166,208,406 issued and outstanding shares of
common stock, 50,543 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and no
shares of Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. As of
December 31, 2008, the Company had in excess of 3,000 shareholders of
record.
The
description of the Company’s capital stock does not purport to be complete and
is subject to and qualified by its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws,
amendments thereto, including the Certificates of Designation for its Series A,
Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and by the provisions of
applicable Colorado law. The Company’s transfer agent is
Computershare Trust Company, Inc., 350 Indiana Street, Suite 800, Golden,
Colorado 80401.
The
holders of Common Stock and Series A and Series C Convertible Preferred are
entitled to one vote per share and holders of Series B Convertible Preferred
shares are entitled to one thousand votes per share for all purposes and do not
have cumulative voting rights. There is a restriction on the payment
of any common stock dividends because any cumulative preferred stock dividends
are required to be paid prior to the payment of any common stock
dividends. Also, the retained earnings of the Company would be
restricted upon an involuntary liquidation by the cumulative unpaid preferred
dividends to the preferred stockholders and for the $1.00 per share Series A and
$240 per share Series B liquidation preferences. Holders of the
Company’s Common Stock do not have any pre-emptive or other rights to subscribe
for or purchase additional shares of capital stock, no conversion rights,
redemption, or sinking-fund provisions.
The
Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock since inception and
expects to continue to retain all earnings generated by its operations for the
development and growth of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash
dividends to its common shareholders in the foreseeable future. The
payment of future dividends on the common stock and the rate of such dividends,
if any, will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in light of its
earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other
factors.
Set forth
below is a summary of the current outstanding securities, transactions and
agreements, which relate to 31,366,359 shares of common stock the Company is
required to reserve for potential future issuances. As of December
31, 2008, there are 380,704 shares of the Company’s common stock available under
the 2008 Equity Incentive Stock Plan.
Convertible Preferred
Shares
As of
December 31, 2008, the Company had 50,543 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred stock outstanding and no shares of Series B and Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series A preferred shares convert to
common shares at a ratio of four common shares plus one common bonus share for
each share of Series A Preferred. As of December 31, 2008, there is
$5,054 in accrued Series A Preferred dividends that convert into 25,271 shares
of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $0.20 for certain
shareholders who elected to convert accrued dividends to common
shares.
16
April 24,
2007, pursuant to Section 7-106-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act,
the Board of Directors designated ten thousand (10,000) shares of the authorized
ten million shares of Preferred Stock as Series C Preferred
Stock. These shares became effective on May 15, 2007 upon filing
appropriate documentation with the Colorado Department of State. The
Series C Preferred Stock was created to fulfill the terms of a funding agreement
with Central Finance, LLC. On May 9, 2007, Central Finance, LLC
agreed to loan to the Company one million dollars ($1,000,000) in five monthly
loans of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) each. Twelve percent
(12%) per annum simple interest is payable monthly and the principal payment to
be determined at the time of each monthly loan. This loan was
conditioned on a sale to Central Finance, LLC, by two of our former directors,
of five hundred thousand (500,000) restricted common shares for a per share
price of $0.15. As a further condition, ten thousand (10,000)
restricted common stock owned by Central Finance, LLC may be exchanged, on a one
for one ratio, for the newly created 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred
stock. These preferred shares may, at any time, at the election of
Central Finance, LLC, be re-exchanged back to common stock at the same, one for
one, ratio. The Series C Preferred stock has the exclusive right to
elect three (3) directors to three (3) newly created board
seats. Clifford Melby, a former corporate officer of Waytronx, is a
member of the LLC.
Promissory
Notes
During
2005 and the first quarter of 2006, the Company privately placed $10,300,000 of
12% convertible promissory notes. These notes are convertible to
common stock at $.25 per share with piggyback registration rights for the
Company’s common shares underlying the conversion feature of the
notes. Note holders who purchased $500,000 or more of these notes
received 100,000 additional common shares. The note holders include
one current director, three former directors and a former Chief Financial
Officer. All of the notes were converted into 41,200,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock during the second quarter of 2006. In
addition, the Company issued to such note holders warrants to acquire 10,300,000
shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share within three
(3) years. All of the shares of the common stock issued upon the
conversion of the notes and the shares of common stock underlying the common
stock purchase warrants were included in the Form SB-2 registration statement
that became effective October 26, 2007. Warrants representing 125,000
common shares have not yet been exercised as of December 31, 2008.
During
the last three quarters of 2006 through 2008, the Company privately placed
approximately $3,450,000 of 12% promissory notes. $1,650,000
($650,000 of this amount has been repaid) of these notes are convertible to
common stock at a per share price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average
closing bid price of one share of Company common stock for 10 days preceding the
Conversion Date. There is, however, a $0.20 per share minimum limit
on the conversion price, which means that there is a limit on the number of
shares that the company may be obligated to issue. Additionally, each
investor was issued a warrant to purchase at any time within three (3) years
following the date of investment, at a per share price of one cent ($0.01), that
number of shares of Waytronx, Inc. common stock as is equal in value to one
tenth the principal investment. Such value to be determined by the
average per share closing bid price of Waytronx, Inc. common stock for the 10
days preceding the date of investment. Of the remaining $1,800,000
notes, $700,000 ($350,000 of this amount has been repaid) of these notes are
convertible to common stock at a per share price of $0.25 and $1,100,000
($100,000 of this amount has been repaid) are not convertible. As of
December 31, 2008, 13,368,992 common shares were issued pursuant to the
conversion of these promissory notes and exercise of the warrants; 6,400,000
common shares are held in reserve as issuable upon the conversion of the balance
of the promissory notes and the shares of common stock underlying the common
stock purchase warrants and common share underlying the
warrants.
17
A
$17,500,000 convertible promissory note related to the acquisition of CUI, Inc.,
with 1.7% annual simple interest and a 2.3% annual success fee, permitting payee
to convert any unpaid principal, interest and success fee to Waytronx common
stock at a per share price of $0.25 and at the end of the three year term (May
15, 2011) giving to Waytronx the singular, discretionary right to convert any
unpaid principal, interest and success fee to Waytronx common stock at a per
share price of $0.25. This note also provides a right of first
refusal to the note payee, International Electronic Devices, Inc., relating to
any private capital raising transactions of Waytronx during the term of the
note. There is a discount on debt relating to this note of
$5,711,395. The net long term balance of this note is
$11,788,605.
The
Company has the intention and a reasonable basis to believe that it will have
the financial ability to make all payments on the Promissory Notes.

Losses from Operations;
Accumulated Deficit; Negative Net worth and Going Concern.
Historically,
the Company has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to self-fund
its capital and operating requirements. These factors raise
substantial doubt concerning its ability to continue as a going
concern. However, following the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the company
is generating significant revenues that it expects will provide the Company with
the ability to self-fund its capital and operating requirements. If
that is not possible, the Company will seek additional working capital from
funding that will primarily include equity and debt
placements.

Overview
Waytronx,
Inc. has pioneered and is working to commercialize innovative thermal management
solutions capable of revolutionizing the semiconductor, solar and electronic
packaging industries, among others. This advanced technology involves
the use of fluid displacement to move heat away from the source instead of
traditional passive heat transference through solid
materials. Utilizing its patented WayCool hybrid mesh architecture,
Waytronx can enhance system performance and remove thermal barriers caused by
"microwarming" in today's advanced computing devices. The Company's
proprietary cooling solutions for central and graphics processors, solar energy
devices and power supplies provide more cost effective and efficient thermal
management to the electronics industry.
In May
2008, Waytronx formed a wholly owned subsidiary that acquired the assets of CUI,
Inc., a provider of electromechanical components and industrial controls for
original equipment manufacturing (OEM). Since its inception in 1989,
CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions, and
superior personal service. CUI's solid customer commitment and honest
corporate message are a hallmark in the industry.
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company continued to incur significant
losses from operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,830,367
for the year ended December 31, 2008. This net loss includes non-cash
charges of $740,785 for compensation and services expense including amortization
of deferred compensation related to equity given or to be given to employees and
consultants for services provided, $2,153,577 of non-cash amortization of the
intrinsic value of convertible debt, amortization of debt offering costs and the
warrant related debt discount, $247,617 of non-cash loss for the impairment of
patents, and $1,620 non-cash loss on securities available for sale.
Management
has continued to raise the capital needed to fund the development and marketing
of the Company’s products during 2008.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that have a significant impact on the results the
Company will report in the Company's financial statements. Some of
the Company's accounting policies require the Company to make difficult and
subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters
that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Asset
Impairment
The
Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair
value and may not be recoverable. In performing the review for
recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result
from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of
the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is
less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as
the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Otherwise, an
impairment loss is not recognized. Management estimates the fair
value and the estimated future cash flows expected. Any changes in
these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the
impairment.
22
Valuation of Non-Cash
Capital Stock Issuances
The
Company values its stock transactions based upon the fair value of the equity
instruments. Various methods can be used to determine the fair value
of the equity instrument. The Company may use the fair value of the
consideration received, the quoted market price of the stock or a
contemporaneous cash sale of the common or preferred stock. Each of
these methods may produce a different result. Management uses the
method it determines most appropriately reflects the stock
transaction. If a different method was used it could impact the
expense and equity stock accounts.
Patent
Costs
The
Company estimates the patent applications it has filed will have a future
beneficial value to the Company, thus it capitalizes the costs associated with
filing for its patents. At the time the patent is issued, the patent
costs associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the
patent. If the patent is not issued, at that time the costs will be
expensed. A change in the estimate of the patent having a future
beneficial value to the Company will impact the other assets and expense
accounts of the Company.
Revenue
Recognition
The
recognition of the Company’s revenues requires judgment, including whether a
sale includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective
evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements. Customers
may receive certain elements of our products over a period of
time. These elements could include licensing rights to manufacture
and sell our proprietary patent protected products. The ability to
identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements
could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned
revenue. The Company does not have any history as to the costs
expected to be incurred in granting licensing rights relating to its
products. Therefore, revenues may be recorded that are not in
proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these
services.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
General
The
Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2008 are $599,200
and a net working capital at December 31, 2008 of
$165,996. Operations and investments in equipment and the acquisition
of CUI, Inc. have been funded through cash from operations, equity financings
and borrowings from private parties as well as related parties.
Cash used in
operations
The
Company’s operating requirements generated a negative cash flow from operations
of $313,473 during 2008.
During
2008 and 2007, the Company has used stock and warrants as a form of payment to
certain vendors, consultants and employees. For 2008 and 2007,
respectively, the Company recorded a total of $740,785 and $287,356 for
compensation and services expense including amortization of deferred
compensation related to equity given or to be given to employees and consultants
for services provided.
23
During
2008, the Company recorded three additional significant non-cash entries -
$2,831,688 change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, $2,153,577 of
non-cash interest expense, including amortization of the beneficial conversion
value, amortization of debt offering costs, warrant related debt
discounts and intrinsic value of convertible debt and amortization of debt
discount, $247,617 of non-cash loss for the impairment of patents
As the
Company focuses on the WayCool technology and CUI product lines during 2009, it
will continue to fund research and development related to these products
together with related sales and marketing efforts for WayCool as well as its
other electromechanical products. The Company does not expect to
record significant revenue from the WayCool technology until this product line
is fully developed and licensing agreements for the manufacture and sale of its
products are in place and operational.
Capital Expenditures and
Investments
During
2008, the Company invested $128,922 in fixed assets. The Company
anticipates further investment in fixed assets during 2009 in support of its
on-going business and continued development of product lines.
The
Company invested $88,672 in patent costs during 2008. The Company
expects its investment in patent costs will continue throughout 2009 as it
invests in patents to protect the rights to use its product
developments.
Effective
May 16, 2008, Waytronx acquired CUI, Inc. The funding for this
acquisition was provided by a $6,000,000 bank note, a $14,000,000 seller’s note,
and a $17,500,000 convertible seller’s note. The following details

During
2008, $700,000 of proceeds were received from unsecured convertible notes,
$6,000,000 from a bank loan, $99,600 from the exercise of warrants, $1,160 from
the exercise of options and $500,000 from the sale of common
stock. The Company also utilized $1,044,628 from a bank operating
line of credit to fund daily operations during 2008. Waytronx plans
on raising the capital needed to fund the further development and marketing of
its products as well as payment of its debt obligations.
24
Recap of liquidity and
capital resources
The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial
statements as of December 31, 2008 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing
uncertainty with respect to our ability to continue as a going
concern. Prior to the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company was not
generating significant revenues to fund operations. Subsequent to the
acquisition of CUI, Inc., management believes the Company will be able to
generate sufficient revenues to fund operations in the first full year of
operations that include CUI. As of December 31, 2008 the Company had
an accumulated deficit of $50,548,086.
The
Company may seek to raise additional capital for the commercialization of its
WayCool technology product lines and CUI product lines. The Company
believes its operations and existing financing structure will provide sufficient
cash to meet its short-term working capital requirements for the next twelve
months. As the Company continues to expand and develop its technology
and product lines, additional funding sources may be required. The
Company will attempt to raise these funds through borrowing instruments or
issuing additional equity.
As of
December 31, 2008 CUI Inc. maintained a line of credit with Key Bank granting
borrowings of up to $3,000,000 with interest payable monthly at the bank’s prime
lending rate less 0.25 percentage points.
Management
expects the WayCool technology to be commercialized during 2009. The
Company cannot assure that it will generate material revenues by that date or
that its revenues will be sufficient to cover all operating and other
expenses. The Company expects the revenues from CUI, Inc. to help
cover the operating and other expenses. If revenues are not
sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses, additional funding will be
required. There is no assurance the Company will be able to raise
such additional capital. The failure to raise additional capital or
generate product sales in the expected time frame will have a material adverse
effect on the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
As of
December 31, 2008, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Results
of Operations
The
accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of the Company for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Revenue
During
the year ended 2008, revenue was $19,555,935 and $157,258. The
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 is comprised of $19,218,109 from
CUI products, $122,299 for freight, $10,000 for a cancellation fee, $58,975 from
Living Window™ products and related add-ons, $143,722 from RediAlert™ products
and $2,830 from other income. For the year ended December 31, 2007,
revenue was comprised of $91,070 from RediAlert™ products, $48,823 from Living
Window™ products and related add-ons, and $17,365 from other.
During
2008, 39% of revenues were derived from three customers at 33%, 3% and
3%.
During
2007, 70% of revenues were derived from three customers at 43%, 14% and
13%.
Cost of
revenue
The cost
of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $11,874,250 and
$2,318,602, respectively. The significant increase during 2008
compared to the prior year is primarily the result of the acquisition of CUI,
Inc. and its related operations. In 2007, the Company incurred an
inventory write-down of $2,048,538 for the impairment of inventory to net
realizable market value.
25
Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses
Selling,
General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses includes such items as wages,
consulting, general office expenses, business promotion expenses and costs of
being a public company including legal and accounting fees, insurance and
investor relations.
SG&A
expenses increased to $7,615,737 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from
$1,888,098 for the same period during 2007. This increase of
$5,727,639 is primarily the result of the acquisition of CUI, Inc. and its
related operations.
The
Company anticipates its sales and marketing expenditures and general and
administrative expenses will further increase in 2009 as the Company will
experience a full year of CUI operations.
Research and
Development
The
research and development costs are related to the technology for which Waytronx
acquired the licensing rights as well as research and development expenses for
CUI products. Research and development costs were $513,671 for the
year ended December 31, 2008 and $1,191,854 for the same period during
2007. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in
expenditures towards the development of the WayCool technologies during
2008. The Company expects that research and development expenses will
increase during 2009 as the Company continues to expand its product offering and
continues to fund the development of its WayCool thermal management
technology.
Impairment
Loss
The
Company recorded a $247,617 impairment loss during 2008 related to
patents.
Bad Debt
Bad debt
expense increased to $163,770 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $18,470
for the same period ended 2007. The bad debt expense relates to a
note receivable from the settlement gain from Mobil Magic and miscellaneous
other customers as well as an addition made for the allowance for bad
debts. Mobil Magic remains in default on the note, and Waytronx has
not received a payment on this note since January of 2008. The
Company has reserved fully for the note and is pursuing collection of the
balance of $91,500 but the outcome of the collections process is
uncertain.
Other
Income
Other
income for the year ended December 31, 2008, consisted of $2,831,688 in
derivative income associated with the change in value of the derivative
liability recognized for the potential conversion of warrants, options and
convertible debt into common stock, $138,477 for services billed to a related
party, $20,107 for interest income, $10,897 for foreign exchange gain, and
$7,881 in income.
Investment
Income
The
company recognized a loss on equity investment in an affiliate of $1,620 for the
year ended December 31, 2008.
26
Financing
Fees
During
2008, the Company paid financing fees of $28,158 related to the $3,000,000 bank
line of credit and the $6,000,000 bank loan. During 2007, there were
no financing fees recorded.
During
April 2006 the Company negotiated the terms of a full and final settlement with
Fusion Three, LLC whereby Fusion Three, LLC relinquishes all rights and claims
to any revenues and fees in consideration for the Company issuing to Fusion
Three, LLC a three year warrant authorizing Fusion Three, LLC to purchase up to
5,600,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.20. The
Company also agreed to issue Fusion Three, LLC a warrant to purchase up to
1,200,000 shares of common stock at per share price of $0.35 for 300,000 shares;
$0.50 for 300,000 shares; $0.75 for 300,000 shares and $1.00 for 300,000 shares
before November 15, 2007. During the second quarter of 2006, the
Company recorded a net settlement loss of $2,780,000 associated with this
transaction. The Company recorded a settlement gain during the fiscal
year 2007 of $76,831.
Change in value of warrant
liability
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, a gain of $2,831,688 was recorded for the
change in fair value of derivative liabilities.
Non-cash interest expense,
amortization of beneficial conversion value, amortization of debt offering
costs, warrant related debt discounts, intrinsic value of convertible debt
and
amortization of warrant related debt discount
The
Company recorded an expense of $2,153,577 during 2008 and $338,361 during 2007,
for non-cash interest expenses, including amortization of beneficial conversion
value, amortization of debt offering costs, warrant related debt discounts and
intrinsic value of convertible debt and amortization of debt
discount. The increase in this expense is primarily associated with
the debts incurred related to the acquisition of CUI, Inc.
Interest
Expense
The
Company incurred $1,362,416 and $283,657 of interest expense during 2008 and
2007, respectively. Interest expense for 2008 is for interest on the
secured convertible notes, secured and unsecured promissory notes, and the bank
line of credit. Interest expense of $283,657 in 2007 is for interest
on the secured convertible notes payable and secured and unsecured promissory
notes.
Net Loss
The net
loss of $1,830,367 for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased $3,916,301
compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in net loss during
2008 compared to 2007 is mainly the result of the addition of CUI, Inc.
operations and the decrease in operating expenses related to
Waytronx.
Preferred Stock
Dividends
During
the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock dividends of $0 and $0,
respectively.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No.
51”. This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and
transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in
its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting
standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties
other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to
the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and
presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a
parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial
interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former
subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient
disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160
affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one
or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160
is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”
(SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial
reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative
instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all
derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items,
bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and
qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161
must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative
disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure
implications of this statement.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting
principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles
used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity
with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed
to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level
of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below
industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are
not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be
directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following
the SEC’s approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating Consistency
of Financial Statements (AS/6). The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity
exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by
insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and
measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance
enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured
event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an
insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about
financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure
requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided
to users of financial statements. SFAS 163 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB 163 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position.

Evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures.
Pursuant
to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”),
the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s
management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief
Accounting Officer (“CAO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting
officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the
end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the
Company’s CEO and CAO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange
Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and
CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Changes in internal controls
over financial reporting.
Immediately
following the acquisition of CUI, Inc., Daniel N. Ford assumed the Chief
Financial Officer position for both Waytronx, Inc. and its subsidiary CUI,
Inc. We have note identified any significant deficiency or
material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no
corrective actions taken.
Management’s Report on
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Internal
control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Effective May 15, 2008, The Company
appointed Daniel N. Ford as Chief Financial Officer of Waytronx and its wholly
owned subsidiary, CUI, Inc. There has been no change in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting during the year ended
December 31, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
29
The
Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CAO, does not expect that
the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal
controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered
relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have
been detected.
Management
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in our Audit Committee Charter and
Audit Committee Policy and Procedures. Based on this evaluation, management
concluded that the company’s internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of December 31, 2008. A copy of our Audit Committee
Charter can be viewed on our Website: www.waytronx.com.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered
public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report
in this annual report.

Item
10. Directors,
Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
Our
Bylaws permit the number of directors to be fixed by resolution of the Board of
Directors, but to be no less than one. The Board of Directors has set
the maximum number of members to no more than eight
members. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by
the holders of Common and Preferred Stock and serve two year terms or until
their successors have been elected and qualified or until their earlier
resignation or removal. Currently, there are six (6)
directors. The standards relied upon by the Board of Directors in
determining whether a director is “independent” are posted on our website at
www.waytronx.com.
By April
24, 2007 Board of Directors resolution, the owners of Series C preferred stock
have the exclusive right to appoint three board members. See above,
Section Convertible Preferred
Shares in Item 5, Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters
and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Subject
to terms of their employment agreements, if any, officers of the Company hold
office until their successors are elected and qualified, subject to earlier
removal by the Board of Directors.
30
The Board
of Directors has four standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation
Committee, Nomination Committee and Business Advisory Board. No
incumbent director attended fewer than 100% of the total number of meetings held
by all committees on which such director served. Our board currently
appoints the members of the committees. Our Audit Committee and
Compensation Committee each have a written charter approved by our
board. Copies of the current committee charters and a description of
our Nomination Committee are posted on our website at

Committee
Cory

Because
Waytronx is a small entity, the Company is dependent on the efforts of a limited
number of management personnel. The Company believes that because of
the large amount of responsibility being placed on each member of its management
team, the loss of services of any member of this team at the present time would
harm its business. Each member of its management team supervises the
operation and growth of one or more integral parts of its business.

Shareholder
Communications
Company
shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or an
individual director may write to Waytronx, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue,
Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300 or to the attention of an
individual director. Your letter should indicate that you are a
shareholder and whether you own your shares in street name. Letters
received will be retained until the next Board meeting when they will be

Certain
Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Colorado Business Corporation
Act Relating to Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The
Colorado General Corporation Act provides that each existing or former director
and officer of a corporation may be indemnified in certain instances against
certain liabilities which he or she may incur, inclusive of fees, costs and
other expenses incurred in connection with such defense, by virtue of his or her
relationship with the corporation or with another entity to the extent that such
latter relationship shall have been undertaken at the request of the
corporation; and may have advanced such expenses incurred in defending against
such liabilities upon undertaking to repay the same in the event an ultimate
determination is made denying entitlement to indemnification. The Company's
bylaws incorporate the statutory form of indemnification by specific
reference.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities may be invoked to disclaim liability for
damages arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities
Act of 1934 (collectively, the "Acts"), as amended, it is the position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Acts and are therefore, unenforceable.
Reports
to Shareholders
We intend
to voluntarily send annual reports to our shareholders, which will include
audited financial statements. We are a reporting company, and file
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including this Form
10-K as well as quarterly reports under Form 10-Q. The public may
read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference
Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information
on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC
at 1-800-SEC-0330. The company files its reports electronically and
the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information
statements and other information filed by the company with the SEC
electronically. The address of that site is
http://www.sec.gov.
The
company also maintains an Internet site, which contains information about the
company, news releases and summary financial data. The address of
that site is http://www.waytronx.com.

Our
Corporate Governance Practices
We have
always believed in strong and effective corporate governance procedures and
practices. In that spirit, we have summarized several of our
corporate governance practices below.
35
Adopting Governance
Guidelines
Our board
of directors has adopted a set of corporate governance guidelines to establish a
framework within which it will conduct its business and to guide management in
its running of your Company. The governance guidelines can be found
on our website at www.waytronx.com and are summarized below.
Monitoring Board
Effectiveness
It is
important that our board of directors and its committees are performing
effectively and in the best interest of the Company and its
stockholders. The board of directors and each committee are
responsible for annually assessing their effectiveness in fulfilling their
obligations.
Conducting Formal
Independent Director Sessions
At the
conclusion of each regularly scheduled board meeting, the independent directors
meet without our management or any non-independent directors.
Hiring Outside
Advisors
The board
and each of its committees may retain outside advisors and consultants of their
choosing at our expense, without management's consent.
Avoiding Conflicts of
Interest
We expect
our directors, executives and employees to conduct themselves with the highest
degree of integrity, ethics and honesty. Our credibility and
reputation depend upon the good judgment, ethical standards and personal
integrity of each director, executive and employee. In order to
provide assurances to the Company and its stockholders, we have implemented
standards of business conduct which provide clear conflict of interest
guidelines to its employees and directors, as well as an explanation of
reporting and investigatory procedures.
Providing
Transparency
We
believe that it is important that stockholders understand our governance
practices. In order to help ensure transparency of our practices, we
have posted information regarding our corporate governance procedures on our
website at www.waytronx.com.
Communications with the
Board of
Directors
Although
we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the board of
directors, stockholders may communicate with the board of directors by writing
to the Company at Waytronx, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062,
phone (503) 612-2300. Stockholders who would like their submission
directed to a member of the board may so specify, and the communication will be
forwarded, as appropriate.
Standards of Business
Conduct

to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or waiver of a provision
there from, on our website at www.waytronx.com.
Ensuring Auditor
Independence
We have
taken a number of steps to ensure the continued independence of our independent
registered public accounting firm. That firm reports directly to the
Audit Committee, which also has the ability to pre-approve or reject any
non-audit services proposed to be conducted by our independent registered public
accounting firm.
36
Code of Ethics
The
Company Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics for Principal Executives and
Financial Officers that describes the required conduct of honest and ethical
behavior in the conduct of their duties. This code does not cover
every issue that may arise, but sets out basic principles relating to conflict
of interest, corporate opportunities, insider trading, confidentiality,
protection and proper use of company assets, compliance with laws, rules and
regulations, reporting of illegal or unethical behavior and
accountability. The Code of Ethics is available for viewing on our
website at www.waytronx.com. Copies of our Code of Business Conduct
and Ethics will be provided free of charge upon written request to Waytronx,
Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300 or on

Audit
Committee
The Audit
Committee is established pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for the
purposes of overseeing the company’s accounts and financial reporting processes
and audits of its financial statements. The Audit Committee is
directly responsible for, among other things, the appointment, compensation,
retention and oversight of our independent Registered Public Accounting firm,
review of financial reporting, internal company processes of business/financial
risk and applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements.
The Audit
Committee is currently comprised of the Company Board of
Directors. Sean P. Rooney serves as committee Chairman and
Thomas A. Price serves as Deputy Chairman. Both Mr. Rooney and Mr.
Price are independent in accordance with applicable rules promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ listing standards. Mr.
Rooney and Mr. Price have an understanding of generally accepted accounting
principles and have experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating
financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of
accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breath and complexity of
issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the financial statements
of the Company, including our balance sheet, income statement and cash flow
statement. They have an understanding of internal controls and
procedures for financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee
functions as well as the ability to access the general application of such
accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals
and reserves. The Board of Directors has determined that Messers
Rooney and Price are “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Section
401(h) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange
Act. Our Audit Committee acts pursuant to a written charter, a copy
of which is available from the Company and is posted on our website at
www.waytronx.com. The Audit Committee has established a procedure to
receive complaints regarding accounts, internal controls and auditing
issues.
Audit
Committee Report
The Audit
Committee reviews the financial information that will be provided to the
shareholders and others, the systems of internal controls established by
management and the Board and the independence and performance of the Company’s
audit process.
The Audit
Committee has:
|
1.
|
Reviewed
and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in
the Company’s Annual Report and Form
10-K;
|
37
|
2.
|
Discussed
with Webb & Company, P.A. the Company’s independent auditors, the
matters required to be discussed by statement of Auditing Standards No.
61, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board;
|
|
3.
|
Received
the written disclosures and letter from Webb & Company, P.A. as
required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1;
and
|
|
4.
|
Discussed
with Webb & Company, P.A. its
independence.
|
Based on
these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee has recommended that the
audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Audit Committee has
also considered whether the amount and nature of non-audit services provided by
Webb & Company, P.A. is compatible with the auditor’s
independence.
Nominating
Committee
The
nominating committee consists of all of the members of the Board of Directors
who are "independent directors" within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the
Nasdaq Stock Market. The nominating committee is responsible for the
evaluation of nominees for election as director, the nomination of director
candidates for election by the shareholders and evaluation of sitting directors.
The Board has not developed a formal policy for the identification or
evaluation of nominees. In general, when the Board determines that
expansion of the Board or replacement of a director is necessary or appropriate,
the nominating committee will review, through candidate interviews with members
of the Board and management, consultation with the candidate's associates and
through other means, a candidate's honesty, integrity, reputation in and
commitment to the community, judgment, personality and thinking style,
willingness to invest in the Company, residence, willingness to devote the
necessary time, potential conflicts of interest, independence, understanding of
financial statements and issues, and the willingness and ability to engage in
meaningful and constructive discussion regarding Company issues. The
committee would review any special expertise, for example, that qualifies a
person as an audit committee financial expert, membership or influence in a
particular geographic or business target market, or other relevant business
experience. To date the Company has not paid any fee to any third
party to identify or evaluate, or to assist it in identifying or evaluating,
potential director candidates.
The
nominating committee will consider director candidates nominated by shareholders
during such times as the Company is actively considering obtaining new
directors. Candidates recommended by shareholders will be evaluated based
on the same criteria described above. Shareholders desiring to suggest a
candidate for consideration should send a letter to the Company's Secretary and
include: (a) a statement that the writer is a shareholder (providing evidence if
the person's shares are held in street name) and is proposing a candidate for
consideration; (b) the name and contact information for the candidate; (c) a
statement of the candidate's business and educational experience; (d)
information regarding the candidate's qualifications to be director, including
but not limited to an evaluation of the factors discussed above which the Board
would consider in evaluating a candidate; (e) information regarding any
relationship or understanding between the proposing shareholder and the
candidate; (f) information regarding potential conflicts of interest; and (g) a
statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as
director if nominated and elected. Because of the small size of the
Company and the limited need to seek additional directors, there is no assurance
that all shareholder proposed candidates will be fully considered, that all
candidates will be considered equally, or that the proponent of any candidate or
the proposed candidate will be contacted by the Company or the Board, and no
undertaking to do so is implied by the willingness to consider candidates
proposed by shareholders.

Compensation
Philosophy
General
Philosophy
Our
compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining and
motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common
objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and
rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in
determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as
the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance, the use of
equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual
contributions, teamwork and performance, each executive’s total compensation
package, and internal pay equity. We strive to accomplish these
objectives by compensating all employees with total compensation packages
consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and incentive
compensation.
Pay for
Performance
At the
core of our compensation philosophy is our strong belief that pay should be
directly linked to performance. We believe in a pay for performance
culture that places a significant portion of executive officer total
compensation as contingent upon, or variable with, individual performance,
Company performance and achievement of strategic goals including increasing
shareholder value.
The
performance based compensation for our executives may be in the form of (i)
annual cash incentives to promote achievement of, and accountability for,
shorter term performance plans and strategic goals, and (ii) equity grants,
designed to align the long-term interests of our executive officers with those
of our shareholders, by creating a strong and direct link between executive
compensation and shareholder return over a multiple year performance
cycle. Long term incentive equity awards are granted in restricted
stock. These shares/units generally vest over a two-year
period. This opportunity for share ownership was provided in order to
provide incentive and retain key employees and align their interests with our
long term strategic goals.
40
Base Compensation to be
Competitive within Industry
A key
component of an executive’s total compensation base salary is designed to
compensate executives commensurate with their respective level of experience,
scope of responsibilities, sustained individual performance and future
potential. The goal has been to provide for base salaries that are
sufficiently competitive with other similar-sized companies, both regionally and
nationally, in order to attract and retain talented leaders.
Compensation
Setting Process
Management’s Role in the
Compensation Setting Process.
Management
plays a significant role in the compensation-setting process. The most
significant aspects of management role are:
|
·
|
Assisting
in establishing business performance goals and
objectives;
|
|
·
|
Evaluating
employee and company performance;
|
|
·
|
CEO
recommending compensation levels and awards for executive
officers;
|
|
·
|
Implementing
the Board approved compensation plans;
and
|
|
·
|
Assistance
in preparing agenda and materials for the Committee
meetings.
|
The Chief
Executive Officer and General Counsel generally attend the Committee
meetings. However, the Committee also regularly meets in executive
session. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations with respect to
financial and corporate goals and objectives and makes non CEO executive
compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee based on company
performance, individual performance and the peer group compensation market
analysis. The Compensation Committee considers and deliberates on
this information and in turn makes recommendations to the Board of Directors,
for the Board’s determination and approval of the executives’ and other members
of senior management’s compensation, including base compensation, short-term
cash incentives and long-term equity incentives. The Chief Executive
Officer’s performance and compensation is reviewed, evaluated and established
separately by the Compensation Committee and ratified and approved by the Board
of Directors.
Setting Compensation
Levels
To
evaluate our total compensation is competitive and provides appropriate rewards
to attract and retain talented leaders, as discussed above, we may rely on
analyses of peer companies performed by independent compensation consultants and
on other industry and occupation specific survey data available to us. Our
general benchmark is to establish both base salary and total compensation for
the executive officers at the 50th
percentile of the peer group data, recognizing that a significant portion of
executive officer total compensation should be contingent upon, or variable
with, achievement of individual and Company performance objectives and strategic
goals, as well as being variable with stockholder value. Further, while
the objective for base salary is at the 50th
percentile of the peer group data, executives’ base salaries are designed to
reward core competencies and contributions to the Company, and may be increased
above this general benchmark based on (i) the individual’s increased
contribution over the preceding year; (ii) the individual’s increased
responsibilities over the preceding year; and (iii) any increase in median
competitive pay levels.
41
Setting Performance
Objectives
The
Company’s business plans and strategic objectives are generally presented by
management at the Company’s annual board meeting. The board engages in an
active discussion concerning the financial targets, the appropriateness of the
strategic objectives, and the difficulty in achieving same. In
establishing the compensation plan, our Compensation Committee then utilizes the
primary financial objectives from the adopted business plan, operating cash
flow, as the primary targets for determining the executive officers’ short-term
cash incentives and long term equity incentive compensation. The Committee
also establishes additional non-financial performance goals and objectives, the
achievement of which is required for funding of a significant portion, twenty
five percent, of the executive officers’ incentive compensation. In
2008, these non financial performance goals and objectives included achieving
accurate financial reporting and timely SEC filings; demonstrating full
compliance and superior performance in the Company’s environmental, health and
safety practices; performing appropriate SOX/404 remediation activities and
achieving successful testing of and compliance with SOX requirements; and
general and administrative expense management.
Annual
Evaluation
The Chief
Executive Officer recommends the actual incentive award amounts for all other
executives based on actual company performance relative to the targets as well
as on individual performance, and recommends the executives’ base salaries
levels for the coming year. The Compensation Committee considers these
recommendations generally at the end of each fiscal year in determining its
recommendations to the Board of Directors for the final short-term cash
incentive and long-term equity award amounts for each executive and for the
executive’s base salary levels. The actual incentive amounts awarded
to each executive are ultimately subject to the discretion of the Compensation
Committee and the Board of Directors.
Additional
equity-based awards may be also granted to executives, as well as other
employees, upon commencement of employment, for promotions or special
performance recognition, or for retention purposes, based on the recommendation
of the Chief Executive Officer. In determining whether to recommend
additional grants to an executive, the Chief Executive Officer typically
considers the individual’s performance and any planned change in functional
responsibility.
Elements
of Executive Compensation
Total
Compensation
Total
compensation for our executives consists of three elements: (i) base salary;
(ii) incentive cash award based on achieving specific performance targets as
measured by cash flow and other objectives; and (iii) equity incentive award,
which is also performance based and paid out over a future period in the form of
restricted stock or warrants. Base salaries are the value upon which both
the incentive compensation percentage targets are measured against. For
evaluation and comparison of overall compensation of the executives, and to
assist it in making its compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee
reviews an executive compensation summary, which sets forth for each executive:
current compensation and current equity ownership holdings as well as the
projected value of each and all such compensation elements, including
distributions and dividends there from.
Base
Salaries
Base
salaries are designed to compensate executives commensurate with their
respective level of experience, scope of responsibilities, and to reward
sustained individual performance and future potential. The goal has been
to provide for base salaries that are sufficiently competitive with other
similar-sized companies, both regionally and nationally, in order to attract and
retain talented leaders.
42
Incentive
Compensation
Incentive
compensation is intended to align compensation with business objectives and
performance and enable the company to attract, retain and reward high quality
executive officers whose contributions are critical to short and long-term
success of the Company. The executives’ incentive awards are based upon
three key performance metrics: 1) the Company’s operating cash flow; 2)
achievement of agreed-upon strategic and corporate performance goals; and 3)
each executive’s departmental and individual goals and performance. The
actual incentive amounts awarded to each executive are ultimately subject to the
discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors
Incentive Plan
Compensation
Incentive
awards are paid out in cash, restricted common stock or warrant/option
awards. The incentive award targets for the executives are established at
the beginning of the year as a percentage of their base salary, and the actual
awards are determined at the following year’s Annual Board of Directors meetings
based on actual company performance relative to established goals and
objectives, as well as on evaluation of the executive’s relevant departmental
and individual performance during the past year. The award of restricted
common stock generally vests over a two year term in four equal six months
traunches. The award of restricted common stock purchased through
warrants generally vests immediately upon issuance of the warrant which
generally has a validity of three years and a per share purchase price of the
fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The
awards are intended to serve as a means of incentive compensation for
performance.
Retirement
Plans
Following
the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company now maintains a 401(k)
plan. There are no other supplemental retirement benefits to our
senior executives.
Change in Control
Agreements
Our
executives are not awarded any type of protection upon a change in control
unless specifically provided in an employment contract.
Perquisites
The
Company does not provide for any perquisites or any other benefits for its
senior executives that are not generally available to all
employees.
Compensation
Committee Report
We have
reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis with

Equity Compensation Plan
Information
On August
25, 2005 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies,
Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and authorized
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to fund the Plan. At the 2005 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders held on December 13, 2005, the Equity Incentive Plan was
approved by the Company shareholders.
On May
15, 2008 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Waytronx, Inc. 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and authorized 1,500,000 shares of
Common Stock to fund the Plan. At the 2008 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders held on September 15, 2005, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved
by the Company shareholders.
Both the
2005 and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plans are intended to: (a) provide incentive
to employees of the Company and its affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward
the continued success of the Company and to operate and manage the business in a
manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the
Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by employees, directors and independent
contractors by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in
the Company by acquiring shares of Stock or to receive compensation which is
based upon appreciation in the value of Stock; and (c) provide a means of
obtaining and rewarding employees, directors, independent contractors and
advisors.
Both
Equity Incentive Plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options
(ISOs) and Non Statutory Options (NSOs) to employees, directors and independent
contractors of the Company. The Board shall determine the exercise
price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such
price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value
in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder. In the case of
an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one
share of stock on the date the option is granted. Unless otherwise
determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under the both plans have a
maximum duration of 10 years.
Equity compensation plans
not approved by security holders
The
Company has outstanding at December 31, 2008, the following options issued under
equity compensation plans not approved by security holders:
50
During
2004, the Company issued options to various employees and a director for the
right to acquire 1,700,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of
$0.25. The options are fully vested and expire during
2009.
During
2006, the Company issued options to various employees, directors, consultants
for the right to acquire 2,828,001 shares of its common stock at exercise prices
ranging from $0.01 to $0.61. The options expire during 2009 to 2011
are fully vested.
During
2007, the Company issued options to a consultant for the right to acquire 50,000
shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25. The options
are fully vested and expire during 2010.
During
2008, the Company issued to investors, directors and an employee warrants for
the right to purchase 6,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price
of $0.01. The warrants vested 50% at issuance, 25% at the first
anniversary and 25% at the second anniversary and expire during
2011.
During
2008, the Company issued warrants for the right to purchase 390,000 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 to a consultant pursuant to a
consulting agreement. The warrants are fully vested and expire during
2011.
Item
13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director
Independence
Except as
set forth herein, none of the Company’s directors or officers nor any person who
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the
voting rights attached to its outstanding shares, nor any relative or spouse of
any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in
any transaction in any presently proposed transaction which has or will
materially affect the Company.
During
fiscal year 2008, three executive officers were employed under employment
agreements currently being finalized with the Company. For
description of the employment agreements, see “Executive Compensation” and
“Employment Agreements”.
On
October 4, 2005, the Company paid $50,000 to extend a letter of intent for the
sale and purchase of certain intellectual property. William J.
Clough, CEO/President and Director, and Bradley J. Hallock, Senior Vice
President, have a controlling interest in the company (CH Capital) that was
named as the seller of the intellectual property. The letter of
intent gave the Company the right to acquire the WayCool technology for $800,000
and the issuance of warrants to acquire five percent of the Company’s fully
diluted equity securities after giving effect to the Company’s fund raising
efforts. The warrants have the same pricing and terms issued in
connection with the Company’s private equity fund raising. On March
24, 2006, CH Capital assigned to the Company all right, title and interest to
the WayCool patent in consideration for $800,000 and a three year warrant for
7,040,485 common shares at a per share price of $0.20. The $800,000
amount represents reimbursement for the time and money CH Capital spent
acquiring and developing the WayCool technology. This assignment has
been recorded and is a matter of record with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office. For a more detailed explanation, please see the
section above entitled “Intellectual Property Rights to WayCool Thermal
Management Technology”.
In April
of 2007 a three-month promissory note was entered into with a director and
proceeds received totaling $80,000. Interest accrues at 12% per annum
until the maturity of this note, at which time the principal is
due. In July 2007, $40,800 of principal and interest was repaid, and
the remaining principal and interest of $42,000 was repaid in August
2007.
51
In
January 2008 the Company negotiated a sale of one million registered shares of
common stock to three individuals in consideration of two hundred fifty thousand
dollars ($250,000). The $0.25 per share price was calculated from a
ten per cent (10%) discount to the average trailing close price for the last 30
trading days of 2007. Because the Company did not have available the
one million registered shares, a shareholder agreed to accommodate the Company
by conveying the registered shares from his personal portfolio and accepting one
million restricted shares from the Company as reimbursement. Because
of the value differential between the registered versus restricted stock, the
Company agreed to convey to the shareholder one hundred thousand additional
restricted common shares.
In May
2008 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary into which CUI, Inc., an
Oregon corporation, merged all of its assets. The consideration paid
by the Company is summarized as follows:
|
·
|
$6,000,000
cash loan from Commerce Bank of Oregon, term of 3 years, interest only,
prime rate less 0.50%, secured by Letters of
Credit.
|
|
·
|
$14,000,000
promissory note to CUI shareholders, payable monthly over three years at
$30,000 per month including 1.7% annual simple interest with a balloon
payment at the thirty sixth monthly payment, no prepayment penalty, annual
success fee of 2.3% payable within three years, right of first refusal to
the note payees relating to any private capital raising transactions of
Waytronx during the term of the
note.
|
|
·
|
$17,500,000
convertible promissory note plus 1.7% annual simple interest and 2.3%
annual success fee, permitting payees to convert any unpaid principal,
interest and success fee to Waytronx common stock at a per share price of
$0.25 and at the end of the three year term giving to Waytronx the
singular, discretionary right to convert any unpaid principal, interest
and success fee to Waytronx common stock at a per share price of
$0.25. This note also provides a right of first refusal to the
note payees relating to any private capital raising transactions of
Waytronx during the term of the
note.
|
|
·
|
Appointment
by note payees of three members to Board of Directors for so long as there
remains an unpaid balance on the above described promissory
notes.
|
In May
2008, in consideration for posting Letters of Credit in favor of the Commerce
Bank of Oregon, the Company issued to the individuals who supplied the Letters
of Credit warrants to purchase, within 3 years at a per share price of $0.01,
one Waytronx common share for each dollar of the Letters of
Credit. Fifty percent (50%) of the warrants for each investor vest
upon the Date of Issuance; twenty five percent (25%) of the warrants vest at the
one year anniversary of the Date of Issuance and twenty five percent (25%) of
the warrants vest at the two year anniversary of the Date of
Issuance. Should the underlying debt to the Commerce Bank of Oregon
be satisfied or all, or any portion, of the Holder’s Letter of Credit is
released prior to any vesting as noted above, then any remaining warrant shares
shall not vest to the Holder under the terms of the Warrant.
Following
the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company moved its facilities to the CUI, Inc.
facility at 20050 SW 112th Avenue,
Tualatin, Oregon 97062. This facility is leased from a related party,
Barakel, LLC. Barakel, LLC is majority owned by James McKenzie, a
majority holder of the $17,500,000 convertible note related to the CUI, Inc.
acquisition and Matt McKenzie, COO and Director of the Company. For
further discussion of the lease, please see the Leases footnote to the financial
statements.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of:
Waytronx,
Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Waytronx, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007, and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity
(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2008
(consolidated) and 2007. 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 (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
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.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all
material respects, the financial position of Waytronx, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007 and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,830,367 and cash used in
operations of $313,473 and an accumulated deficit of $50,548,086 at December 31,
2008. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these
matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

NATURE
OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
|
Waytronx,
Inc. (formerly known as OnScreen Technologies, Inc.) has pioneered and is
commercializing innovative thermal management solutions capable of
revolutionizing the LED display, semiconductor and electronic packaging
industries. Utilizing patented and patent-pending thermal technologies and
architecture we have developed highly advanced, proprietary LED display
solutions and cooling applications. Waytronx is primarily focused on
the commercialization of their innovative thermal cooling technology,
WayCool.
Effective
May 16, 2008, Waytronx, Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Waytronx
Holdings, Inc., to acquire the assets of CUI, Inc., a Tualatin, Oregon based
provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers,
converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs). The wholly owned subsidiary was renamed CUI, Inc.
following the close of the acquisition.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that
Waytronx will continue as a going concern. As reflected in these
financial statements, we had a net loss of $1,830,367 and cash used in
operations of $313,473 and an accumulated deficit of $50,548,086 for the year
ended December 31, 2008. The ability to continue as a going concern
is dependent upon the ability to bring the WayCool products to market, generate
increased sales, obtain positive cash flow from operations and raise additional
capital as well as grow CUI sales. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
If
necessary, we will continue to raise additional capital to provide sufficient
cash to meet the funding required to commercialize our technology product
lines. As we continue to expand and develop technology and
product lines, additional funding may be required. There have been
negative cash flows from operations and incurred net losses in the past and
there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which additional
financing and capital might be available if needed.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, 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. Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include estimates
used to review the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment, inventory
valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances, valuations of
derivatives and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Principles of
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements for 2008 include the accounts of Waytronx,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary CUI, Inc. (for the period May 16, 2008 to
December 31, 2008), the financial statements for 2007 include the accounts of
Waytronx, Inc., hereafter referred to as the
“Company”. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
F-9
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures of information about the fair value
of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial
instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or
liquidation.
Management
believes the carrying amounts of the short-term financial instruments, including
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, prepaid expense
and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, deferred
compensation and other liabilities reflected in the accompanying balance sheet
approximate fair value at December 31, 2008 due to the relatively short-term
nature of these instruments.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Cash
includes deposits at financial institutions with maturities of three months or
less. The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC
insurance limits and places its temporary cash investments with high credit
quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2008, the Company had
no cash balances at financial institutions which were in excess of the FDIC
insured limits. However, at December 31, 2008, the Company held
$100,458 in the CUI Europe foreign bank account.
Accounts Receivable and
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Accounts
receivable consist of the receivables associated with the revenue derived from
product sales. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is recorded to
allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, based on an analysis of prior
collection experience, customer credit worthiness and current economic
trends. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $135,000 at December 31, 2008 is considered
adequate. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the
payment terms of original invoices. The Company grants credit to its
customers, with standard terms of Net 30 days. The Company routinely
assesses the financial strength of its customers and, therefore, believes that
its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.
Inventory
Inventories
consist of finished products and are stated at the lower of cost or market;
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method as a cost flow
convention. At December 31, 2008 inventory is valued at
$4,077,367.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
Cash is
maintained in bank deposit and financial institution deposit accounts, which, at
times, exceed federally insured limits. These accounts may also be
held in foreign bank accounts. We have not experienced any losses in
such accounts through December 31, 2008.
F-10
Furniture, Equipment and
Software
Furniture,
equipment and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures,
which increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.
Maintenance,
repairs and minor replacements are charged to expenses when
incurred. When furniture and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed
of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this
account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of
operations.
The cost
of furniture, equipment and software is depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated
useful lives and accumulated depreciation for furniture, equipment and software
are as follows:
Estimated
Useful
Life
|
|
Furniture and equipment
|
5 to 7 years
|
Software
|
3 to 5 years
|
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets and certain identifiable assets related to those assets are periodically
reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that
there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. If the non-discounted future cash flows of the
enterprise are less than their carrying amount, their carrying amounts are
reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. The
Company recorded an impairment expense of $247,617 related to capitalized
patents during 2008.
Identifiable Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and
impairment. Intangible assets other than goodwill, technology rights
and patents are amortized over an estimated useful life of 15
years. Technology rights are amortized over a twenty year life and
are reviewed for impairment annually. Patent costs are amortized over
the life of the patent. Any patents not approved will be expensed at
that time.
Intangible
assets consist of the following as of December 31, 2008 and
2007:

over a twenty year life.
As of
December 31, 2008, $584,344 of costs related to filing patent applications have
been capitalized. When patents are approved, the costs are amortized
over the life of the patent. Any patents not approved will be
expensed at that time.
As of
December 31, 2008, $2,044,646 of debt offering costs related to the warrants
issued for the personal guarantees provided on behalf of the Company to secure
the $6,000,000 bank loan. The debt offering costs are amortized over
the life of the loan.
As of
December 31, 2008, $32,282,686 of costs related to Goodwill have been
capitalized. Goodwill is reviewed regularly for impairment by
management.
As of
December 31, 2008, $72,933 of costs related to other intangible assets have been
capitalized and are being amortized over their useful lives.
Investment – Equity
Method
Through
the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company obtained 352,589 common shares
representing a 10.47% interest in Test Products International, Inc., hereafter
referred to as TPI. TPI is a provider of handheld test and
measurement equipment. The Company also has a demand receivable from
TPI of $187,569 as of December 31, 2008. The Company enjoys a close
association with this affiliate through common Board of Director membership and
participation, that allows for a significant amount of influence over affiliate
business decisions. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes,
the Company accounts for its investment in this affiliated entity under the
equity method.
A summary

December 31, 2008 is as follows:

Asset
Impairment
The
Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair
value and may not be recoverable. In performing the review for
recoverability, the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the
asset and its eventual disposition are estimated. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less
than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the
excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Otherwise, an
impairment loss is not recognized. Management estimates the fair
value and the estimated future cash flows expected. Any changes in
these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the
impairment.
Patent
Costs
The
Company estimates the patents it has filed have a future beneficial value;
therefore it capitalizes the costs associated with filing for its
patents. At the time the patent is approved, the patent costs
associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the
patent. If the patent is not approved, at that time the costs will be
expensed. A change in the estimate of the patent having a future
beneficial value will impact the other assets and expense accounts.
Derivative
Liabilities
The
Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants
pursuant to SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities”, which requires a periodic valuation of the fair value of derivative
instruments and a corresponding recognition of liabilities associated with such
derivatives. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance
of shares of common stock is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance, at
the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds
is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of
convertible debt is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance as a debt
discount, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over
the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the fair value of
the derivative liabilities is recognized as other expense or other income,
respectively. The reclassification of a contract is reassessed at each balance
sheet date. If a contract is reclassified from permanent equity to an asset or a
liability, the change in the fair value of the contract during the period the
contract was classified as equity is accounted for as an adjustment to equity.
If a contract is reclassified from an asset or liability to equity, gains or
losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that
contract was classified as an asset or a liability are not reversed but instead
are accounted for as an adjustment to equity.
F-13
Stock-Based
Compensation
On
January 1, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised 2004)
(“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment” was implemented, which replaced SFAS 123
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and superseded APB Opinion No. 25,
“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) requires the
fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be
recorded as an expense over the related vesting period. The statement
also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any
unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of
adoption. Employee stock compensation is recorded at fair value using
the Black Scholes Pricing Model. In adopting SFAS 123(R), the
modified prospective application (“MPA”) was used. MPA requires all
new stock compensation to employees to be accounted for using fair
value.
See Note
14, for additional disclosure and discussion of the employee stock plan and
activity.
Equity
instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the
basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by SFAS No.
123(R). EITF Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments
That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services,” defines the measurement date and recognition
period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when
either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier
of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are
vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized
over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as
defined in the EITF.
Revenue
Recognition
The
recognition of revenues requires judgment, including whether a sale includes
multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE)
of fair value exists for those elements. Customers receive certain
elements of Waytronx products over a period of time. These elements
include licensing rights to manufacture and sell our proprietary patent
protected products. The ability to identify VSOE for those elements
and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount
of earned and unearned revenue. Waytronx does not have any history as
to the costs expected to be incurred in granting licensing rights relating to
its products. Therefore, revenues may be recorded that are not in
proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these
services.
Revenues
from warranty and maintenance activities is recognized ratably over the term of
the warranty and maintenance period and the unrecognized portion is recorded as
deferred revenue.
F-14
Revenues
in connection with electronic devices and component sales by CUI, Inc. are
recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer, collectability is
reasonably assumed, the price is fixed and determinable and persuasive evidence
of arrangement exists.
Shipping and Handling
Costs
Amounts
billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling
represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in sales, and
were $169,079 and $2,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The Company expenses inbound shipping and handling
costs as cost of revenues.
Warranty
Reserves
A
warranty reserve liability is recorded based on estimates of future costs on
sales recognized. There was no warranty reserve recorded at December
31, 2008 or 2007.
Advertising
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Executive Committee Statement of Position
93-7, costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are charged to
operations as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $421,096 and $0, respectively.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS
109”). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Valuation
allowances have been established against deferred tax assets due to
uncertainties in the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in
future periods to make realization of such assets more likely than
not. An income tax benefit has not been recognized for its operating
losses generated during 2008 and 2007 based on uncertainties concerning the
ability to generate taxable income in future periods. There was no
income tax receivable at December 31, 2008 and 2007. In future
periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when
management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than
not.
Net Loss Per
Share
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings
per Share”, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss
available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per
share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the period. Common equivalent shares outstanding as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, which consist of options, warrants, convertible
notes and convertible preferred stock, have been excluded from the diluted net
loss per common share calculations because they are
anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as
basic net loss per share for 2008 and 2007. The following table
summarizes the potential common stock shares at December 31, 2008 and 2007,
which may dilute future earnings per share.

Foreign Currency
Translation
The
financial statements of the Company's foreign offices have been translated into
U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation (SFAS
52). All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in
effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated
using an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the year. The
translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates during
2008 have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, except for
gains and losses resulting from the translation of intercompany receivables and
payables, which are included in earnings for the period.
Segment
Reporting
Upon the
acquisition of CUI, Inc. in 2008, the Company has identified four operating
segments based on the products offered. The four segments are
External Power, Internal Power, Industrial Controls and Other. The
External Power segment is focused primarily on sales of external power supplies
and related components. The Internal Power segment is focused
primarily on sales of internal power supplies and related
components. The Industrial Controls segment is focused primarily on
sales of encoding devices and related components. The Other category
represents activity of segments that do not meet the threshold for segment
reporting and are combined. The Company did not have any segment at
December 31, 2007.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No.
51”. This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and
transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in
its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting
standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties
other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to
the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and
presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a
parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial
interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former
subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient
disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the
parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160
affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one
or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160
is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”
(SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial
reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative
instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all
derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items,
bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and
qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161
must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative
disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure
implications of this statement.
F-17
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting
principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles
used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity
with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed
to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level
of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below
industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are
not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be
directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following
the SEC’s approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating Consistency
of Financial Statements (AS/6). The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity
exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by
insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and
measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance
enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured
event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an
insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about
financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure
requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided
to users of financial statements. SFAS 163 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB 163 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position.

During
the last three quarters of 2006 through 2008, the Company privately placed
approximately $3,450,000 of 12% promissory notes. $1,650,000
($650,000 of this amount has been repaid) of these notes are convertible to
common stock at a per share price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average
closing bid price of one share of Company common stock for 10 days preceding the
Conversion Date. There is, however, a $0.20 per share minimum limit
on the conversion price, which means that there is a limit on the number of
shares that the company may be obligated to issue. Additionally, each
investor was issued a warrant to purchase at any time within three (3) years
following the date of investment, at a per share price of one cent ($0.01), that
number of shares of Waytronx, Inc. common stock as is equal in value to one
tenth the principal investment. Such value to be determined by the
average per share closing bid price of Waytronx, Inc. common stock for the 10
days preceding the date of investment. Of the remaining $1,800,000
notes, $700,000 ($350,000 of this amount has been repaid) of these notes are

Employee Stock Options and
Warrants
On
January 1, 2006, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised
2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment” was implemented, which replaced
SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and superseded APB Opinion
No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R)
requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to
employees be recorded as an expense over the related vesting
period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation
expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at
the date of adoption. During 2006, all employee stock compensation is
recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes Pricing Model. In
adopting SFAS 123(R), the modified prospective application (“MPA”) was
used. MPA requires all new stock compensation to employees to be
accounted for using fair value. For any portion of awards made prior
to January 1, 2006 for which the requisite service has not been rendered and the
options remain outstanding as of January 1, 2006, compensation cost for that
portion of the award the requisite service was rendered on or after January 1,
2006 was recognized. The fair value for these awards was determined
based on the grant-date. As of January 1, 2006, accrued compensation
payable in common stock of $469,112 previously classified as a liability was
reclassified as equity due to the implementation of SFAS 123(R).
On June
26, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies,
Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the
issuance of incentive stock options (ISO’s) to any individual who has been
employed by the Company for a continuous period of at least six
months. The Plan also provides for the issuance of Non Statutory
Options (NSO’s) to any employee who has been employed by the Company for a
continuous period for at least six months, any director, or consultant to the
Company. The Company may also issue reload options as defined in the
Plan. The total number of common shares of common stock authorized
and reserved for issuance under the Plan is 600,000 shares. The Board
shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time
an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value
or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater
stockholder. In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be
less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is
granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISO’s and NSO’s
granted under the Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.
F-29
On August
25, 2005 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies,
Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and authorized
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to fund the Plan. At the 2005 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders held on December 13, 2005, the Equity Incentive Plan was
approved by the Company shareholders.
On May
15, 2008 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Waytronx, Inc. 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and authorized 1,500,000 shares of
Common Stock to fund the Plan. At the 2008 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders held on September 15, 2005, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved
by the Company shareholders.
Both the
2005 and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plans are intended to: (a) provide incentive
to employees of the Company and its affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward
the continued success of the Company and to operate and manage the business in a
manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the
Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by employees, directors and independent
contractors by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in
the Company by acquiring shares of Stock or to receive compensation which is
based upon appreciation in the value of Stock; and (c) provide a means of
obtaining and rewarding employees, directors, independent contractors and
advisors.
Both
Equity Incentive Plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options
(ISOs) and Non Statutory Options (NSOs) to employees, directors and independent
contractors of the Company. The Board shall determine the exercise
price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such
price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value
in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder. In the case of
an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one
share of stock on the date the option is granted. Unless otherwise
determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under the both plans have a
maximum duration of 10 years.
At
December 31, 2008 there are no shares of common stock available under the 2005
Equity Incentive Stock Plan. At December 31, 2008, there are 380,704
shares of common stock available under the 2008 Equity Incentive Stock
Plan.

During
the years ended 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded compensation expense
of $79,545 and $5,456, respectively, for stock options that the requisite
service was performed during the year. The compensation expense
is recorded over the vesting period based upon fair market value of the
options using the Black-Scholes option model in accordance with SFAS
123(R) as discussed in section Employee Stock Options
and Warrants.

Waytronx, agreed to transfer 1,000,000 registered shares to one of the
purchasing parties and accept 1,000,000 restricted shares as
reimbursement. Because of the difference in value between the
registered versus restricted sales, Waytronx agreed to issue an additional
100,000 shares to the former officer.
During
2008, the Company extended 2,000,000 existing warrants with CH Capital an
additional two years in exchange for the rights to certain
patents. The company valued the transaction at $91,190 using the
Black Scholes Pricing Model with the following assumptions on the date of
extension; $0.20 exercise price, volatility of 75%, risk free interest rate of
2.01% and a term of 2.833 years.

INCOME
(LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
|
|
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
“Earnings per Share”, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the
net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net
loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
period. Common equivalent shares outstanding as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, which consist of options, warrants, convertible notes and
convertible preferred stock, have been excluded from the diluted net loss
per common share calculations because they are
anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the
same as basic net loss per share for 2008 and 2007. The
following table summarizes the potential common stock shares at December
31, 2008 and 2007, which may dilute future earnings per
share.

INCOME
TAXES
|
The
Company recognized losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes during
each of the periods in the accompanying statements of
operations. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes and/or
deferred income taxes payable has been provided for in the accompanying
financial statements.
F-34
An income
tax benefit has not been recognized for operating losses generated in prior
periods based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income
in future periods. At December 31, 2008, the Company has available
net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $36,190,000. These
operating loss carry-forwards expire in various years through the year ending
December 31, 2028; however, because the Company has incurred significant
operating losses, utilization of the tax loss carry-forwards are not
assured. The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended
December 31, 2008 was approximately $1,390,000. As a result, the
non-current deferred income tax asset arising from these net operating loss
carry-forwards and from other temporary differences are not recorded in the
accompanying balance sheets because a valuation allowance was established
to fully reserve such assets due to the uncertainty of the Company’s realization
of this benefit.
After
consideration of all the evidence management has determined that a full
valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount
that will more likely than not be realized.
In future
periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when
management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than
not.
The
Company’s tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for the periods
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, computed by applying the Federal Corporate tax
rate of 34% to loss before taxes, as follows:

STOCK-BASED
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
|
On May
16, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the Waytronx, Inc. 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”) for 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to
attract, retain and motivate employees, to encourage employees, directors and
independent contractors to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make
monetary payments to certain employees based upon the value of the Company’s
stock, and provide employees, directors and independent contractors with an
incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the
shareholders. The 2008 Plan provides for the issuance of Incentive
Stock Options and Non Statutory Options. The Administrator of the
plan shall determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is
granted, but the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on
the date the option is granted. Stock options granted under the 2008
Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.
On August
25, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (“2005
Plan”) for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2005
Plan provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate
employees, to encourage employees, directors and independent contractors to
acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain
employees based upon the value of the Company’s stock, and provide employees,
directors and independent contractors with an incentive to maximize the success
of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders. The 2005
Plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Stock Options and Non Statutory
Options. The Administrator of the plan shall determine the exercise
price per share at the time the option is granted, but the exercise price shall
not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is
granted. Stock options granted under the 2005 Plan have a maximum
duration of 10 years.
F-36
On June
26, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies,
Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the
issuance of incentive stock options (ISO’s) to any individual who has been
employed by the Company for a continuous period of at least six
months. The Plan also provides for the issuance of Non Statutory
Options (NSO’s) to any employee who has been employed by the Company for a
continuous period of at least six months, and any director or consultant to the
Company. The Company may also issue reload options as defined in the
plan. The total number of common shares of common stock authorized
and reserved for issuance under the Plan is 600,000 shares. The Board
shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time
an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value
or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater
stockholder. In the case of a NSO, the exercise price shall not be
less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is
granted. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISO’s and NSO’s
granted under the Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.
There
were no non-vested stock options at December 31, 2007. The fair value
of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes
Pricing Model. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the company
granted 1,020,000 stock options to employees under the 2008 Plan with the
following assumptions; exercise price of $0.19, volatility of 78%-99%, risk free
interest rate of 0.03% - 1.64% and a term of 0.25 - 2 years.

DERIVATIVE
LIABILITY
|
On May
15, 2008, the Company acquired CUI, Inc. and entered into a convertible seller’s
note payable of $17,500,000 convertible at $0.25 per common share, totaling
70,000,000 shares. This caused an insufficient amount of authorized
shares to be available for the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and
convertible debt. Accordingly, on May 15, 2008, the Company was not
able to assert that it had a sufficient number of authorized but un-issued
shares to satisfy its obligations under outstanding options and warrant
agreements and convertible debt. Therefore, the Company accounted for
all of its outstanding options, warrants and the convertible features of debt as
derivative contracts and recorded a corresponding liability based on the fair
value of such derivatives at the measurement dates. The Company
recognized a derivative liability on the seller’s notes payable of
$8,028,838.
The
Company computed fair value of the outstanding freestanding options, warrants
and convertible debt and embedded conversion features, at their measurement
date, using the Black Scholes valuation model with the following
assumptions:

reclassification and were revalued using the above model assumptions to
$3,257,291 at September 15, 2008 when additional shares were authorized to
sufficiently satisfy existing obligations under outstanding options and warrant
agreements and convertible debt. Upon authorization of the additional
shares, the company closed the related derivative liability based on the fair
value of such derivatives at the measurement dates. During the year
ended December 31, 2008, the company reclassified $10,841,928 of derivative
liabilities to equity.
