PART I

Item 1.  Business

Corporate Overview
Waytronx, Inc., formerly known as OnScreen Technologies, Inc., is a Colorado corporation organized on April 21, 1998.  The Company’s principal place of business is located at 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300.

CUI - Subsidiary
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). 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. 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. The Company does not expect any organizational changes to CUI’s operations in the U.S., China or Sweden.

The consideration for the CUI asset purchase transaction included two promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of thirty one million five hundred thousand dollars ($31,500,000).  In May 2009, Waytronx and the holder of the $17,500,000 convertible promissory note, IED, Inc., agreed to amend the convertible promissory note by reducing the conversion rate from $0.25 to $0.07 per share to reflect the stock price for the ten day trailing average preceding April 24, 2009, the date of the agreement.  The agreement specifically retains the total maximum convertible shares at 70,000,000 as stated in the original Note.  This amendment effectively reduced the Note principal from $17,500,000 to $4,900,000.  As a result, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain on the extinguishment of this debt of $11,808,513 and a reduction in the related discount of debt of $791,487.  As of December 31, 2009, there is a discount on debt related to this note of $2,773,555 and the net long term balance of this note is $2,126,445.

Through CUI’s capabilities and extensive contacts throughout Asia, this acquisition allows Waytronx to continue to identify, acquire, and commercialize new proprietary technologies, including its proprietary thermal management technology. Waytronx will use CUI’s market partners and global distribution capabilities to bring other products to market, including the Digital Power Modules, GASPT2, and other proprietary devices, described below. CUI’s testing and R&D capabilities allow Waytronx to commercialize and prototype its products more efficiently and economically.

CUI defines its product into three categories:  components including connectors, speakers and buzzers; control solutions including encoders and sensors; and power solutions known as V-Infinity.  These offerings, combined with the Waytronx portfolio of cooling solutions, provide a technology architecture that addresses cooling and power to industries ranging from consumer electronics to defense and alternative energy.

Digital POL Modules
CUI’s power division, V-Infinity, is developing a line of digital point-of-load (POL) modules that will utilize Powervation’s digital power-conversion ICs. The new Novum series will be focused on providing complete, easy-to-use solutions to make digital power accessible to a wide array of users. The modules will combine high power density in a compact footprint and offer a wide array of digital control and power management functions. It will utilize Powervation’s patented Auto-control™ technology which will allow the new modules to work in real time ensuring stability and improved transient responsiveness. A wide array of digital power control functions will be supported including current monitoring, temp sensing, margining and voltage sequencing.

Digital Power Patent License Agreement with Power-One, Inc.
CUI entered into a non-exclusive Field of Use Agreement with Power-One, Inc. (NASDAQ: PWER) to license Power-One’s Digital Power Technology patents.  The license provides access to Power-One’s portfolio of Digital Power Technology patents for incorporation into CUI’s new line of digital point of load power modules.  CUI, through its V-Infinity power division, manufactures a range of embedded and external power electronics devices for OEM manufacturers.

Philanthropic Philosophy
In an industry first, CUI has chosen that, in addition to sales commission, sales rep firms will also receive a charity commission to be donated to charities of their choice.  One of CUI’s core values is generosity which includes philanthropic giving.  We give in our local community and we want to also give in the communities in which we do business.  This program will allow us to give more than $50,000 next year to communities outside of our own.

ISO 9001:2008 Accreditation
CUI, Inc. has been certified to the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems standards and guidelines.  CUI has been assessed and registered as conforming to the requirements of standard: ISO 9001:2008, The Quality Management System is applicable to Design, Development and Distribution of electro-mechanical components for OEM manufacturing.  ISO 9001 is accepted worldwide as the inclusive international standard that defines quality.

Becoming certified as ISO 9001:2008 compliant, CUI underwent a stringent evaluation process that included quality management system development, documentation review, pre-audit, initial assessment, and clearance of non-conformances, all of which work to identify corrective actions that eliminate non-conformance to the quality management standard.  The certification of compliance with ISO 9001:2008 recognizes that our policies, practices and procedures ensure consistent quality in the design services, technology and products we provide our customers.

Comex - Subsidiary
Effective July 1, 2009, Waytronx acquired CUI Japan (formerly Comex Instruments, Ltd.) and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. that includes an associated distribution network, both companies are Japanese based DSP providers of digital to analog and analog to digital test and measurement systems and electronic components for OEM research and development.  These acquisitions provide a manufacturing component which allows Waytronx to manufacture some of its own products, such as the AMT encoder, in Japan.

CUI-GAS – Subsidiary
Through an exclusive licensing contract with GL Industrial Services UK, Ltd. (GL), formerly British-based Advantica, Ltd., Waytronx owns exclusive rights to manufacture, sell and distribute a Gas Quality Inferential Measurement Device (GASPT2) designed by GL on a worldwide basis.  Waytronx, Inc. intends to form a wholly owned subsidiary, CUI-GAS, Inc. to acquire from Waytronx the GASPT2 licensing contract.  That subsidiary should be created and fully functioning in Fourth Quarter 2010.

Our GASPT2 Product
The GASPT2, designed by GL, is a low cost solution to measuring gas quality.  It can be connected to a natural gas system to provide a fast, accurate, close to real time measurement of the gas physical properties, such as thermal conductivity, speed of sound and carbon dioxide content.  From these measurements it infers an effective gas mixture comprising four components: methane, propane, nitrogen, and measured carbon dioxide and then uses ISO6976 to calculate the gas quality characteristics of calorific value (CV), Wobbe index (WI), relative density (RD), and compression factor (Z).  Through Bluetooth Technology, this information can be provided to a remote, centralized monitoring facility.  This licensing contract anticipates a minimum of between $35,000,000 and $40,000,000 in sales during the first four years of the agreement.  According to our review, the market studies commissioned by GL and GL's experience in the natural gas industry all demonstrate that these contract numbers are conservative and achievable.  We expect to deliver product during the third quarter of 2010. On January 1, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Terry Williams, former GL Industrial Services Project Director, to serve as the Company’s Project Director and Lead Engineer for the GASPT2 device.  The consultant will be compensated a base monthly fee and will receive commissions on sales of the GASPT2 device.

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Proposal Pending
We continue our efforts to develop and commercialize our relationship with BAE Systems and have submitted a joint Seedling Proposal with BAE to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ("DARPA").  That Seedling Proposal is under review by the new Director of DARPA, recently appointed by the Obama Administration.  BAE Systems is a British defense, security and aerospace company headquartered in England that has global interests, particularly in North America through its subsidiary BAE Systems Inc.  BAE is the world's second-largest defense contractor and the largest in Europe.

WayCool
Waytronx, Inc. continues to commercialize thermal management technology of particular use to the semiconductor, solar and electronic packaging industries that involve the use of fluid displacement to move heat away from the source instead of traditional passive heat transference through solid materials. This technology can enhance system performance and remove thermal barriers caused by "microwarming" in today's advanced computing devices.  This proprietary hybrid mesh architecture solutions for central and graphics processors, solar energy devices and power supplies provide more cost effective and efficient thermal management to the electronics industry.

The thermal management technology can be universally adapted to any device with cooling requirements. Applications Waytronx has currently identified for WayCool include graphics processing units, central processing units, power supply units, solar energy, medical monitors, test appliances and home electronics displays.

Our business strategy includes a basis of intellectual property licensing through which the thermal management cooling technology is intended to be exploited through the development of license and royalty agreements because it is considerably less capital intensive than developing manufacturing and marketing capabilities and it provides continuous long-term revenue streams and immediate revenue through advance licensing fees.  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.

The Carbon Block Technology
The goal of all cooling technologies is to remove heat from a concentrated source (for example a one-inch square microprocessor chip may generate 200 Watts) and distribute it into the general ambient environment.  A copper plate interface has traditionally been used to quickly transfer the heat away from the source and then move it to the general environment.  Waytronx developed carbon technology with a heat transfer rate up to four times that of copper plates, but with the low cost and adaptable size and form factor advantages of copper plates.  The impact of carbon block is to once again make the cooler itself the performance limiter for removing heat, but at much higher heat removal rates.

The U300DT and U400DT Designs
The WayCool U300DT and U400DT Reference Designs for CPUs provide up to 300 Watts or 400 Watts of thermal management capacity and replaces liquid or air CPU coolers.  The U300DT and U400DT Reference Designs provide:

·
Enhanced performance: Beyond other high performance air-only CPU coolers
 
·
Upgradeability: Supporting current dual core and future quad core CPUs
 
·
Less noise: Quieter than today's air-based coolers
 
·
Compactness: Hybrid liquid-air cooling in a smaller form factor
 
·
Enhanced thermal transfer: Improved results through WayCool Carbon technology in direct contact with WayCool Mesh and the CPU

Employees
As of December 31, 2009, the Company, together with its consolidating subsidiaries, had seventy-six full-time and twelve 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.

Intellectual Property
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.

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 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 internationally.

Under the Trademark Act of 1946, as amended, the United States 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. The following trademark applications filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office are pending: WayCool, WayCoolant, WayFast, Waytronx, V-Infinity, CUI INC, CUI Europe and CUI.

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.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Important Note about Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and un-audited 10-Q filings for the first three quarters of 2009 and the notes thereto, all of which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.  In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Form 10-K contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

The statements that are not historical constitute "forward-looking statements".  Said forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, express or implied by such forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of such terms and phrases as "expects", "intends", "goals", "estimates", "projects", "plans", "anticipates", "should", "future", "believes", and "scheduled".

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. 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.

Effective July 1, 2009, Waytronx acquired Comex Instruments Ltd. and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. that includes an associated distribution network, both companies are Japanese based DSP providers of digital to analog and analog to digital test and measurement systems for OEM research and development.  The Comex acquisition provides a manufacturing component which will allow Waytronx to manufacture some of its own products, such as the AMT encoder, in Japan.

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.

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

Financing activities
During 2009, $284,373 of proceeds were received from bank loans, and $9,808 of proceeds were received from the exercise of warrants.  The Company also utilized $777,772 from bank operating lines of credit to fund daily operations during 2009.

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.

Recap of liquidity and capital resources
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of December 31, 2009 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.  Management believes the Company to be generating sufficient revenues to fund operations.  As of December 31, 2009 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $54,757,578.

 
20

 

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 as well as retire debt, 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, 2009 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 plus 1.50 percentage points.  At December 31, 2009, the Company is out of compliance with a debt covenant related to this loan.  The Company is actively working to resolve this situation.  In January 2010, the working capital line of credit was extended to May 1, 2010.

Management expects the WayCool technology to be commercialized in the next twenty-four months.  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, 2009 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, 2009 and 2008

Revenue
During the year ended 2009, revenue was $28,851,750 and $19,555,935 for the same period during 2008.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, revenue was comprised of $26,145,223 from CUI products, $2,575,902 from CUI Japan and Comex Electronics products, $103,733 from freight, and $26,892 from RediAlert™ products.  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.

During 2009, 42% of revenues were derived from five customers at 31%, 4%, 3%, 2% and 2%. During 2008, 39% of revenues were derived from three customers at 33%, 3% and 3%.

Cost of revenue
The cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $18,191,840 and $11,874,250, respectively.  The significant increase during 2009 compared to the prior year is primarily the result of the acquisition of CUI, Inc. and its related operations being included for the full year and the acquisitions of CUI Japan and Comex Electronics and their related operations, effective July 1, 2009.  The previous year results included a partial year of CUI Inc. and its related operations as it was acquired in May 2008.

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.

 
21

 

SG&A expenses increased to $10,839,425for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $7,615,737 for the same period during 2008.  This increase of $3,223,688 is primarily the result of the full year operations of CUI, Inc. as well as the operations of CUI Japan and Comex Electronics since acquisition in July 2009.

The Company anticipates its sales and marketing expenditures and general and administrative expenses will further increase in 2010 as the Company will experience a full year of CUI Japan and Comex Electronics 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 $56,042 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $513,671 for the same period during 2008.  The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in expenditures towards the development of the WayCool technologies during 2009.  The Company expects that research and development expenses will increase during 2010 as the Company continues to expand its product offering and technologies.

Impairment Loss
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.  During the year ended December 31, 2009 the company recorded impairment charges of $10,698,169 related to goodwill and $136,811 related to patents.  During the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company recorded impairment charges of $247,617 related to patents.

Bad Debt
Bad debt expense decreased to $144,834 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $148,573 for the same period ended 2008.  The bad debt expense relates to miscellaneous customers.

Other Income
Other income for the year ended December 31, 2009, consisted of $103,500 for services billed to a related party, $54,543 for foreign exchange gain, $18,012 for interest income, $14,340 of rental income, and $3,670 in 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 other income.

Investment Income
The Company recognized a loss on equity investment in an affiliate of $41,424 and $1,620 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Financing Fees
During 2009, the Company paid financing fees of $21,000 related to the extension received on a note payable.  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.

Change in value of warrant liability
During 2009, there was no change in the 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 $3,096,641 during 2009 and $2,153,577 during 2008, 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 full year impact of the debts incurred related to the acquisition of CUI, Inc.

Interest Expense
The Company incurred $1,552,419 and $1,362,416 of interest expense during 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Interest expense is for interest on the secured convertible notes, secured and unsecured promissory notes, and the bank line of credit.

Net Loss
The Company had a net loss of $4,209,492 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to a net loss of $1,830,367 for the prior year ended 2008.  The increase in net loss as compared to the prior year is primarily the result of the following items: impairment charges on goodwill and patents increased $10,587,363, derivative income of $0 as compared to $2,831,688 in 2008, a $754,267 increase in interest expense – intrinsic value of convertible debt, amortization of debt offering costs and amortization of debt discounts, the $190,003 increase in interest expense, and the extraordinary gain on debt extinguishments of $11,834,055.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 855 “Subsequent Events” (“FASB ASC 855”). FASB ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FASB ASC 855 sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. FASB ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 “Transfers and Servicing” (“FASB ASC 860”). FASB ASC 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC 860 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 “Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”). FASB ASC 810 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FASB ASC 860 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. FASB ASC 810 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC 810 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 105 “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“FASB ASC 105”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FASB ASC 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB ASC 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The adoption of FASB ASC 105 did not impact the financial statements.

Item 9A(T) Controls and Procedures

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. in 2008, Daniel N. Ford assumed the Chief Financial Officer position for both Waytronx, Inc. and its subsidiary CUI, Inc.  We have not identified any significant deficiency or material weaknesses in our internal controls; 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, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, 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, 2009.  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 9B.  Other Information

There are no matters to be reported under this Item.

PART III

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, four of whom are “independent” in accordance with applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and within the meaning of Rule 4200(a) (15) of the Nasdaq Stock Market. 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.

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.

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, governance documents and summary financial data.  The address of that site is http://www.waytronx.com.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers, directors and persons owning more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These reporting persons are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely upon a review of copies of these filings received, we believe that all filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 with the exceptions noted below:
A late Form 4 report was filed for Colton Melby, William Clough, Thomas Price, Sean Rooney, Matthew McKenzie and Daniel Ford on July 27, 2009 to report their receipt of Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) 2009 options effective 1/1/2009.
A late Form 4 report was filed for Colton Melby and Thomas Price on July 27, 2009 to report their receipt of warrants effective May 15, 2008.

We have made all officers and directors aware of their reporting obligations and have appointed an employee to oversee Section 16 compliance for future filings.

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.

 
29

 
 

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 our 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.

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
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.

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.

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.

Code of Ethics
The Company Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics for all of our employees, directors, 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 our website at www.waytronx.com.

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 Sean P. Rooney and Thomas A. Price.  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;
 
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, 2009.  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.

Submitted by:   Sean P. Rooney and Thomas A. Price,
Audit Committee

Nominating Committee
The nominating committee consists of all of the members of the Board of Directors four of whom 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 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.

 
31

 

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.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Committee Members
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is appointed by the Board of Directors to discharge the Board's responsibilities with respect to all forms of compensation of the Company's executive officers, to administer the Company's equity incentive plans, and to produce an annual report on executive compensation for use in the Company's Form 10-K.  The Compensation Committee consists of two members of the board of directors, Messers Colton Melby and Corey Lambrecht, both of whom are "independent directors" within the meaning of Rule 4200(a) (15) of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Role of Committee
The Compensation Committee discharges the Board’s responsibilities relating to general compensation policies and practices and to compensation of our executives.  In discharging its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee establishes principles and procedures in order to ensure to the Board and the shareholders that the compensation practices of the Company are appropriately designed and implemented to attract, retain and reward high quality executives, and are in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.  In this context, the Compensation Committee’s authority, duties and responsibilities are to:

·
Periodically review market and industry data to assess the Company’s competitive position, and to retain any compensation consultant to be used to assist in the evaluation of directors’ and executive officers’ compensation.

·
Review and discuss with management, the Compensation Disclosure and Analysis (CD&A), and determine the Committee’s recommendation for the CD&A’s inclusion in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC.

Committee Meetings
Our Compensation Committee meets as often as necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities.  The Compensation Committee held three meetings during fiscal 2009.  On an as requested basis, our Compensation Committee receives and reviews materials prepared by management, consultants or committee members, in advance of each meeting.  Depending on the agenda for the particular meeting, these materials may include:
 
·
Minutes and materials from the previous meeting(s);
 
·
Reports on year-to-date Company and Partnership financial performance versus budget;
 
·
Reports on progress and levels of performance of individual and Company performance objectives;
 
·
Reports on the Company’s financial and stock performance versus a peer group of companies;
 
·
Reports from the Committee’s compensation consultant regarding market and industry data relevant to executive officer compensation;
 
·
Reports and executive compensation summary worksheets, which sets forth for each executive officer: current total compensation and incentive compensation target percentages, current equity ownership holdings and general partner ownership interest, and current and projected value of each and all such compensation elements, including distributions and dividends there from, over a five year period.

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.

 
33

 

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’s 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 generally attends 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.

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 2009, 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.

 
34

 

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.

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 EBIDA; 2) achievement of agreed-upon strategic and corporate performance goals; and 3) existing Employment Agreement. 

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.  In many instances the award of restricted common stock vests over a four year term in equal periodic traunches.  The award of restricted common stock purchased through warrants generally vests immediately upon exercise of the warrant and generally has a validity of up to ten years and a per share purchase price, of no less than, 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
Our wholly owned subsidiary, CUI, Inc., maintains a 401(k) plan.  The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan that allows employees to contribute to the plan after they have completed 3 months of service and are 21 years of age.  The Company matches the employee’s contribution up to 6% of total compensation.  Total employer contributions, net of forfeitures, were $153,996 and $174,534, for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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.

2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive)
On January 5, 2009 the Company Board of Directors received and approved a written report and recommendations of the Compensation Committee which included a detailed executive equity compensation report and market analysis and recommendations of Compensia, Inc., a management consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services to compensation committees and senior management of knowledge-based companies.  The Compensation Committee used the report and analysis as a basis for its formal written recommendation to the board.  Pursuant to a January 8, 2009 board resolution, the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, was created and funded with 4,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock.  The Compensation Committee was appointed as the Plan Administrator to manage the plan.

The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of Incentive Non Statutory Options to attract, retain and motivate executive and management employees and directors and to encourage these individuals to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain management employees and directors based upon the value of the Company’s stock and to provide these individuals with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders.  The Administrator of the plan is authorized to determine the exercise price per share at the time the option is granted, but under the terms of the 2009 Plan, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted.  Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The written report and recommendations of Compensia, Inc., as noted above in the section, 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), upon which the Compensation Committee relied, also included a detailed director and committee compensation report and market analysis.  The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate directors as well as other management personnel.

The Compensation Committee concluded that, after giving consideration to the directors’ obligation in representation of the shareholders, the high standard of ethics and talent required, increasing workloads, greater exposure, more stringent director independence standards and the SEC's disclosure rules, directors and committee members should be compensated fairly for time and value delivered and the compensation should be sufficient to attract and retain qualified competent individuals to serve on our board.  The Compensation Committee adopted the recommendations of Compensia and approved a director and committee compensation plan.

The Compensation Committee further concluded that the appropriate compensation should be in the form of options granted in an amount equal to the 50th percentile for similar companies, but discounted by a factor of 10% at an option strike price of $0.25 per share.  This price reflects the true value of the directors’ work, provides adequate incentive to each director and does not unfairly penalize the directors for current market conditions.  Moreover, the $0.25 strike price reflects the price at which much of the underlying funding and CUI transaction was originally priced.  The director compensation plan, in summary, provides:

Equity Compensation Plans Approved by Shareholders
On August 25, 2005 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies, Inc. 2005 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 and authorized 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock to fund the Plan.  At the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 15, 2008, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company shareholders.  At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of common shares issuable under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000.  All of these shares have been registered under Form S-8.

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 Shareholders
In January 2009 the Company Board of Directors received and approved a written report and recommendations of the Compensation Committee which included a detailed executive equity compensation report and market analysis and the recommendations of Compensia, Inc., a management consulting firm that provides executive compensation advisory services to compensation committees and senior management of knowledge-based companies.  The Compensation Committee used the report and analysis as a basis for its formal written recommendation to the board.  Pursuant to a board resolution the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive), a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, was created and funded with 4,200,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock.  The Compensation Committee was appointed as the Plan Administrator to manage the plan.

The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) provides for the issuance of stock options to attract, retain and motivate executive and management employees and directors and to encourage these individuals to acquire an equity interest in the Company, to make monetary payments to certain management employees and directors based upon the value of the Company’s stock and to provide these individuals with an incentive to maximize the success of the Company and further the interest of the shareholders.  The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of Incentive Non Statutory Options.  The Administrator of the plan is authorized to 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 2009 Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

The Company has outstanding at December 31, 2009, the following options issued under equity compensation plans not approved by security holders:

During 2005, the Company issued to a former officer a five year option for the purchase of 2,000,000 common shares at the price of $0.01 per share as a bonus.  The option is fully vested and expires during 2010.

During 2006, the Company issued options to a former employee a five year option for the purchase of 350,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.01 per share as a bonus.  The options expire during 2011 and are fully vested.

During 2009, the Company issued under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (Executive) to officers and directors options to purchase restricted common stock at $0.25 per share as follows: 2,550,273 fully vested shares; 864,000 shares that vest over four years, 25% at year one and thereafter in equal monthly installments; and 594,000 shares that fully vest after one year.

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, since the beginning of fiscal year 2009, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or in any presently proposed transaction where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 which has or will materially affect the Company.

In May 2006, the Company obtained an eighteen month convertible promissory note from a related party totaling $1,000,000 that accrues interest at 12% per annum, payable monthly, until the maturity of the note at which time the principal is due.  This note was extended through November 2011.

At December 31, 2007, twenty-four month secured promissory notes totaling $1,100,000 were outstanding.  $1,000,000 of these promissory notes were from an entity controlled by a related party.  During calendar year 2009 the related party portion in the amount of $125,000 was extinguished.  The Company paid the related party $100,000 and recognized a gain on the extinguishment of $25,542 related to the remaining principal and accrued interest.  During calendar year 2009 the Company paid $250,000 in principal.  There is $625,000 remaining outstanding.  Interest accrues at 12% per annum, payable monthly, until the maturity of these notes at which time the principal is due.  In December 2009, the Company obtained an extension to June 30, 2010 on the balance remaining.

Effective May 16, 2008 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary into which CUI, Inc., an Oregon corporation, merged all of its assets.  The funding for this acquisition was provided by a bank note, a seller’s note and a convertible seller’s note.  Matthew McKenzie, COO and Daniel Ford, CFO each were partial owners in CUI, Inc. prior to the acquisition.  The consideration paid by the Company is summarized as follows:

 
45

 

 
·
$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. In May 2009, Waytronx and the debt holder of the $17,500,000 convertible promissory note, IED, Inc., agreed to amend the convertible promissory note related to the acquisition of CUI, Inc. by reducing the conversion rate from $0.25 to $0.07 per share to reflect the stock price for the ten day trailing average preceding April 24, 2009, the date of the agreement.  The agreement specifically retains the total maximum convertible shares at 70,000,000 as stated in the original Note.  This amendment effectively reduced the Note principal from $17,500,000 to $4,900,000. As a result, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain on the extinguishment of this debt of $11,808,513 and a reduction in the related discount of debt of $791,487.  As of December 31, 2009, there is a discount on debt related to this note of $2,773,555 and a net long term balance of this note is $2,126,445.
 
·
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.

During 2009, $450,000 in principal and interest payments were made in relation to the promissory notes issued to CUI shareholders.

The $6,000,000 bank note as noted above was secured by personal guarantees in the form of Letters of Credit in favor of the Commerce Bank of Oregon.  In consideration for posting the Letters of Credit, the Company issued to each individual 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.  The warrants vest 50% at date of issuance and 25% at the first anniversary and 25% at the second anniversary date.  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. A former officer of the Company, Clifford Melby received 300,000 warrants (225,000 fully vested), John Rouse, a former director, received 300,000 warrants (225,000 fully vested), Colton Melby, Chairman of the Board of Directors, received  400,000 warrants (300,000 fully vested), and Thomas A. Price, a member of the Board of Directors received 700,000 warrants (525,000 fully vested).

As a part of the CUI asset acquisition, the Waytronx, Inc. corporate offices were relocated to the CUI location at 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062.  CUI and Waytronx occupy the 61,380 square feet of offices and warehouse premises under a ten year non-cancelable lease agreement beginning September 1, 2006 with Barakel, LLC at a base monthly rent subject to periodic base payment increases plus real property taxes, utilities, insurance and common area maintenance charges.  During the period January 1 through August 31, 2009, the monthly base rent was $39,900.  For the period September 1 through December 31, 2009, the monthly base rent was $40,000.  Barakel, LLC is controlled by James McKenzie, majority owner of CUI, Inc. prior to acquisition and Matt McKenzie, COO and Director of the Company.

During 2009, the Company provided services and billed for those services to a related party controlled by James McKenzie.  During 2009, the revenue for those services is reported as other income totaling $103,500.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:
Waytronx, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Waytronx, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Waytronx, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated 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 $4,198,701 and an accumulated deficit of $54,757,578 at December 31, 2009. 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.

Waytronx, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008

1.
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.

Effective July 1, 2009, Waytronx acquired CUI Japan (formerly Comex Instruments, Ltd.) and 49% of Comex Electronics Ltd. that includes an associated distribution network, both companies are Japanese based DSP providers of digital to analog and analog to digital test and measurement systems and electronic components for OEM research and development. These acquisitions provide a manufacturing component which allows Waytronx to manufacture some of its own products, such as the AMT encoder, in Japan.

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 consolidated net loss of $4,198,701 and an accumulated deficit of $54,757,578 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to bring additional technologies and products to market, generate increased sales, obtain positive cash flow from operations and raise additional capital. 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 2009 and 2008 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 2009 include the accounts of Waytronx, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary CUI, Inc. for the full year, and the partial year results of its wholly owned subsidiary CUI Japan and 49% owned Comex Electronics since acquisition on July 1, 2009. 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.  Waytronx, Inc., is hereafter referred to as the “Company”.  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 825 (“FASB ASC 825”), “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, 2009 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, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no cash balances at financial institutions which were in excess of the FDIC insured limits.  However, at December 31, 2009, the Company held $26,166 in European foreign bank accounts and $112,223 in Japanese foreign bank accounts.  At December 31, 2008, the Company held $100,458 in European foreign bank accounts.

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, 2009 and 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 and un-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, 2009 and 2008 inventory is valued at $3,661,994 and $4,077,367, respectively.

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:

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 $10,698,169 related to goodwill and $136,811 related to capitalized patents during 2009.  During 2008, an impairment expense of $247,617 related to capitalized patents was recorded.

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, 2009 and 2008:

As of December 31, 2009, $107,724 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 $181,313 as of December 31, 2009.  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 of the unaudited financial statements of the affiliate for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are 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.  During the years ended 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded impairment charges of $136,811 and $247,617 related to capitalized patents.

Derivative Liabilities
The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 815 (“FASB ASC 815”), “Derivatives and Hedging ”, 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.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation using FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 (“FASB ASC 718”), “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.  FASB Codification No. 718 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.

See Note 14, for additional disclosure and discussion of the employee stock plan and activity.

Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by FASB ASC 505, which is measured as of the date required by FASB ASC 505, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. In accordance with FASB ASC 505, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

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.

 
F-13

 

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.

Revenues in connection with electronic devices, component, and test and measurement equipment 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 $103,733 and $122,299 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2009 or 2008.

Advertising
The costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are charged to operations as incurred.  Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $544,146 and $421,096, respectively.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740 (“FASB ASC 740”), “Income Taxes”, .  Under FASB ASC 740, 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 2009 and 2008 based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods.  There was no income tax receivable at December 31, 2009 and 2008.  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 FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 (“FASB ASC 260”), “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, 2009 and 2008, 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 2009 and 2008.  The following table summarizes the potential common stock shares at December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (FASB ASC 830). 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 2009  and 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., CUI Japan and Comex Electronics, Waytronx now has operating segments to report.  The Company has identified five operating segments based on the products offered.  The five segments are External Power, Internal Power, Industrial Controls, Comex/CUI Japan 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 Comex/CUI Japan segment is focused on the sales of Comex and CUI Japan products.  The Other category represents activity of segments that do not meet the threshold for segment reporting and are combined.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 855 “Subsequent Events” (“FASB ASC 855”). FASB ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FASB ASC 855 sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. FASB ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 860 “Transfers and Servicing” (“FASB ASC 860”). FASB ASC 860 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC 860 will have on its financial statements.

 
F-16

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 810 “Consolidation” (“FASB ASC 810”). FASB ASC 810 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FASB ASC 860 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. FASB ASC 810 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FASB ASC 810 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 105 “Generally Accepted Accounting Principless” (“FASB ASC 105”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FASB ASC 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB ASC 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The adoption of FASB ASC 105 did not impact the financial statements.

ACQUISITION

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.

In May 2009, Waytronx and the debt holder of the $17,500,000 convertible seller’s note, IED, Inc., agreed to amend the $17,500,000 convertible seller’s note related to the acquisition of CUI, Inc. by reducing the conversion rate from $0.25 to $0.07 per share to reflect the stock price for the ten day trailing average preceding April 24, 2009, the date of the agreement.  The agreement specifically retains the total maximum convertible shares at 70,000,000 as stated in the original Note.  This amendment effectively reduces the Note principal from $17,500,000 to $4,900,000. As a result, the Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of this debt of $11,808,513 and a reduction in the related discount of debt of $791,487.

On July 1, 2009, Waytronx acquired Comex Instruments, Ltd. and 49% of Comex Electronics, Ltd., for approximately $260,000.  Comex Instruments, Ltd. shall become CUI Japan, Ltd.  The acquisition was secured by an initial payment of approximately $103,589 to acquire Comex Instruments and 49% of Comex Electronics.  The terms of the acquisition call for three equal annual payments over the next three years to acquire the remaining 51% of Comex Electronics.  In accordance with the Company’s charter, Waytronx maintains two of the three Comex Electronics board positions and therefore has effective control.

Employee Stock Options and Warrants
The Company accounts for employee stock options and warrants in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 (“FASB ASC 718”), “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related vesting period.  FASB ASC 718 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 was recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes Pricing Model.  In adopting FASB ASC 718, 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 ofFASB ASC 718.

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.

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, 2008, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company shareholders.  At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of common shares issuable under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000.  All of these shares have been registered under Form S-8.

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.

During the years ended 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded compensation expense of $35,942 and $79,545, 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 FASB ASC 718 as discussed in section Employee Stock Options and Warrants.

In May 2009, Waytronx and the holder of the $17,500,000 convertible promissory note, IED, Inc., agreed to amend the convertible promissory note by reducing the conversion rate from $0.25 to $0.07 per share to reflect the stock price for the ten day trailing average preceding April 24, 2009, the date of the agreement.  The agreement specifically retains the total maximum convertible shares at 70,000,000 as stated in the original Note.  This amendment effectively reduced the Note principal from $17,500,000 to $4,900,000.  As a result, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain on the extinguishment of this debt of $11,808,513 and a reduction in the related discount of debt of $791,487.  As of December 31, 2009, there is a discount on debt related to this note of $2,773,555 and the net long term balance of this note is $2,126,445.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Codification 260, “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, 2009 and 2008, 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 2009 and 2008.  The following table summarizes the potential common stock shares at December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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-32

 

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, 2009, the Company had available net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $34,360,000.  These operating loss carry-forwards expire in various years through the year ending December 31, 2029; however, because the Company has incurred significant operating losses, utilization of the tax loss carry-forwards are not assured.  The decrease in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $186,000.  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, 2009 and 2008, 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.

At the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 29, 2009, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of common shares issuable under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000.  All of these shares have been registered under Form S-8.

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.

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.

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, 2009, the Company granted 4,373,273 stock options to employees and directors with the following assumptions; exercise price of $0.19 - $0.25, volatility of 99% - 135%, risk free interest rate of 0.73% - 0.93% and a term of 2 years.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company granted 1,020,000 stock options to employees 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:

The aggregate fair value of the warrants, options and convertible notes embedded conversion features reclassified during the year ended December 31, 2008 amounted to approximately $6,121,526 at the date of their issuance or 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.
