PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED FEBRUARY 17, 2006
MATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
77,382,077 SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK
This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholder of up to 77,382,077 shares of our common stock, including up to 72,646,330 shares of common stock underlying convertible debentures, up to 4,000,000 issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants and 735,747 shares of common stock issued to one of the selling stockholders. The convertible debentures are convertible into the number of our shares of common stock equal to the dollar amount of the debentures being converted multiplied by 110, less the product of the conversion formula multiplied by 100 times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted, which is divided by the conversion formula. The conversion formula for the convertible debentures is the lesser of (i) $0.70, (ii) eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion or (iii) eighty percent of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the conversion. The warrant is exercisable into 4,000,000 shares of common stock for a period of three years at an exercise price of $1.09 per share. The selling stockholder may sell common stock from time to time in the principal market on which the stock is traded at the prevailing market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholder may be deemed an underwriter of the shares of common stock, which it is offering. We will pay the expenses of registering these shares.
Our common stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is listed on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "MTNA". The last reported sales price per share of our common stock as reported by the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on February 16, 2006, was $.15.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "risk factors" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements.
MATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
We are engaged in research and development of metal fatigue detection, measurement, and monitoring technologies. As such, we are developing several monitoring devices for metal fatigue detection and measurement. We are a development stage company doing business as Tensiodyne Scientific Corporation.
Our efforts are dedicated to developing devices and systems that indicate the true fatigue status of a metal component. We have developed two products. The first is a small, extremely simple device that continuously integrates the effect of fatigue loading in a structural member, called a Fatigue Fuse. The second is an instrument that detects very small cracks in metals, The Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor. It has demonstrated that it can detect cracks, in the laboratory, as small as 10 microns (0.0004 inches), which is smaller than any other practical crack detection technology, as acknowledged by the United States Air Force and confirmed by Rockwell Scientific Corporation. We hold the patents on the Fatigue Fuse and license the technology on the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor from the University of Pennsylvania.
For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we generated revenue in the amount of $139,346and $146,932, respectively, and a net loss of $20,749,260 and $25,495,291, respectively. As a result of our substantial need for working capital and other factors, our auditors in their report dated January 31, 2006, have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as going concern.
Our principal offices are located at 11661 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 707, Los Angeles, California 90049 and our telephone number is (310) 208-5589. We are a Delaware corporation.

To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (“Golden Gate”) on December 16, 2005, as amended by that certain Addendum to Convertible Debenture, Warrant to Purchase Common Stock and Securities Purchase Agreement, and that certain Addendum to Convertible Debenture and Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, each dated as of December 16, 2005, for the sale of (i) $40,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to buy 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. This prospectus relates to the resale of the common stock underlying these convertible debentures and warrants. The investors provided us with an aggregate of $40,000 upon the execution of final definitive agreements.
The debentures bear interest at 5¼%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholder’s option. The convertible debentures are convertible into the number of our shares of common stock equal to the dollar amount of the debentures being converted multiplied by 110, less the product of the conversion formula multiplied by 100 times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted, which is divided by the conversion formula. The conversion formula for the convertible debentures is the lesser of (i) $0.70, (ii) eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion or (iii) eighty percent of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the conversion. Accordingly, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into which the debenture may be converted. Golden Gate has agreed that, beginning in the first full calendar month after the registration statement is declared effective, it shall convert at least 5%, but no more than 10%, of the debentures per calendar month, provided that the common stock is available, registered and freely tradable; provided that, if, at any time during the applicable month, the volume weighted average price is below $.10, Golden Gate is not obligated to convert any portion of the debenture during that month. However, in the event that our volume weighted average price is less than $.20, we will have the option to prepay the debenture at 130% rather than have the debenture converted. If we elect to prepay the debenture, Golden Gate may withdraw its conversion notice. Golden Gate has agreed that, beginning in the first full calendar month after the registration statement is declared effective, it shall exercise at least 5%, but no more than 10%, of the warrants per calendar month, provided that the common stock is available, registered and freely tradable; provided that, if, at any time during the applicable month, the volume weighted average price is below $.10, Golden Gate is not obligated to exercise any portion of the warrant during that month. If Golden Gate exercises more than 5% of the warrants in any calendar month, the excess over 5% shall be credited against the next month’s minimum exercise amount. In the event Golden Gate does not exercise at least 5% of the warrants in any particular calendar month, it shall not be entitled to collect interest on the debenture for that month. The warrant is exercisable into 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.09 per share
The selling stockholder has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert its debenture or exercise its warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
On December 8, 2005 and February 7, 2006, we entered into Investor Relations Services Agreements with Lynx Consulting (“Lynx”), in which we engaged Lynx as our consultant to provide investor relations services to our company. In accordance with the Investor Relations Services Agreements, Lynx was provided with piggyback registration rights for 735,747 the shares of common stock it received as compensation for services performed by Lynx under the Agreements. Accordingly, we are registering 735,747 shares of common stock issued to Lynx pursuant to this prospectus.
See the "Selling Stockholders" and "Risk Factors" sections for a complete description of the convertible debentures.

RISK FACTORS
This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business:
We have a history of losses which may continue, requiring us to seek additional sources of capital which may not be available, requiring us to curtail or cease operations.
We incurred net losses of $20,749,260 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $25,495,291 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our monthly burn rate is approximately $100,000 per month and, accordingly, we will need to raise approximately $1,200,000 over the next 12 months in order to sustain our current operations. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, we will continue to incur losses. We will continue to incur losses until we are able to market and sell our products. Our possible success is dependent upon the successful development and marketing of our products, as to which there is no assurance. Any future success that we might enjoy will depend upon many factors, including factors out of our control or which cannot be predicted at this time. These factors may include changes in or increased levels of competition, including the entry of additional competitors and increased success by existing competitors, changes in general economic conditions, increases in operating costs, including costs of supplies, personnel and equipment, reduced margins caused by competitive pressures and other factors. These conditions may have a materially adverse effect upon us or may force us to reduce or curtail operations. In addition, we will require additional funds to sustain and expand our sales and marketing activities, particularly if a well-financed competitor emerges. Based on our current funding arrangement with Golden Gate, upon the effectiveness of this prospectus, which will allow Golden Gate to convert its convertible debenture and exercise its warrants and, in turn, provide us with funding, we do not anticipate that we will require additional funds to continue our operations for the next 6 months. In the event that our financing arrangement with Golden Gate is terminated or if we need additional financing, there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain sufficient funds from operations or external sources would require us to curtail or cease operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
Our Independent Auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
In their report dated January 31, 2006, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of cash flow constraint, an accumulated deficit of $60,783,746 at December 31, 2005 and recurring losses from operations. We continue to experience net losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net losses and stockholders’ deficit increases the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
Our products are in the final development stage and there can be no assurance that we will ever bring any of our products into the commercial marketplace.
Our products are in the final development stage. Unexpected problems, technological or specifications changes: (i) may make our technologies obsolete; (ii) may affect our products' overall feasibility; or (iii) may delay completion and increase costs of development and testing. The time required to bring our products to market is uncertain. Market acceptance of our products cannot be determined until product development is complete. There can be no assurance that we will ever bring any of our products into the commercial marketplace.
Since our products are not yet distributed to a commercial market, we do not have a sales force or distribution network to bring our products to market and it may be difficult for us to establish a sales and distribution network in the future.
5
We have generated revenues to date from our government and research contracts. We cannot give any assurances that we will be able to generate any significant revenues from our products if and when they become commercialized, nor can we provide assurances that our contract revenue will continue to any extent.
Our revenue generated to date has been limited to revenue received from our government and research contracts. We have not yet developed our products for distribution or sale to multiple customers. Our operating results will depend on our ability to increase and replace our sources of contract revenue through product sales and to market our products to a variety of potential customers rather than relying in large measure on contract revenues. We cannot give any assurances that we will be able to generate any significant revenues from our products if and when they become commercialized, nor can we provide assurances that our contract revenue will continue to any extent.
We currently have a limited number of employees to develop and market our products.
We currently only have four employees, Robert M. Bernstein, president, a part-time engineer, a part-time vice president and a secretary. There is a substantial risk that we may not have funds to hire additional employees that may be needed to complete the development and marketing of our products. Without the ability to market products we have developed, our business and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
We rely heavily on our President and CEO, management consultants and outside advisors. Our business and prospects may be adversely affected if we are unable to retain the services of our President and CEO, and our consultants and advisors.
Our success largely depends on the performance of our president and chief executive officer, Robert M. Bernstein, and the various independent consultants, and advisors we rely on for consulting services. Our consultants provide us with technological advice and guidance, product development expertise and financial advice and services. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, we issued 3,440,435 shares of our common stock, valued at $3,405,507 to compensate these consultants for their services since we are unable to compensate them in any other manner.. Loss of these consultants or our inability to continue compensating these consultants by issuing shares of our common stock to them could seriously impair our ability to develop and market our products. Moreover, failure to attract and retain key consultants, advisors, and employees with necessary skills could have a materially adverse impact on our ability to bring our products to market and continue operating.
Our products and technologies may not be as competitive as other fatigue measuring processes that have been in use for up to 40 years and offer advantages of being accepted in the marketplace.
The metal fatigue measuring industry has significant competition. Other technologies exist which indicate the presence of metal fatigue damage. Single cracks larger than a certain minimum size can be found by non-destructive inspection methods such as dye penetrant, radiography, eddy current, acoustic emission, and ultrasonics. Tracking of load and strain history, for subsequent estimation of fatigue damage by computer processing, is possible with recording instruments such as strain gauges and counting accelerometers. These methods have been in use for up to 40 years and offer the advantage that they have been accepted in the marketplace, whereas our products will remain largely unproven for some currently indeterminable time. Other companies with greater financial and technical resources and larger marketing organizations than ours pose a potential threat if they commence competing in our market segment. We are unaware of any other companies developing technology similar to our technology and our patents protect our unique technologies. On the other hand, companies marketing alternative technologies addressing the same market needs as our products, include Magnaflux Corporation, Kraut-Kremer-Branson, Dunegan-Endevco, and MicroMeasurements. These companies have more substantial assets, greater experience, more human and other resources than ours, including but not limited to established distribution channels and an established customer base.
Our patents covering our fatigue fuse products and technologies have been encumbered as security to certain of our lenders. We may lose our patent protection, as we have defaulted on one of our lending commitments.
We hold patents on our fatigue fuse technology. Our patents are encumbered by certain liabilities as described under the heading of this prospectus, "Business." A first priority security interest in our patents is held by

There are a large number of shares underlying our convertible debentures, and warrants that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may depress the market price of our common stock.
As of February 16, 2006, we had 178,658,464 and 600,000 shares of Class A and Class B common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, and convertible debentures outstanding that may be converted into an estimated 48,430,887 shares of common stock at current market prices, and outstanding warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding convertible debentures may increase if the market price of our stock declines. All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures and upon exercise of our warrants, may be sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our convertible debentures could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our convertible debentures is essentially limitless. The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of our convertible debentures (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price, as of February 16, 2006 of $0.15.
Effective Number % of
% Below Price Per Conversion of Shares Outstanding
Market Share Price Issuable Stock
25% $.1125 $.09 44,888,889 20.08%
50% $.075 $.06 69,333,333 27.96%
75% $.0375 $.03 142,666,667 44.40%
As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our convertible debentures will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.
The continuously adjustable conversion price feature of our convertible debentures may encourage investors to make short sales in our common stock, which could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock.
Golden Gate is contractually required to exercise its warrants on a concurrent basis. The issuance of shares in connection with the exercise of the warrants and conversion of the convertible debentures results in the issuance of shares at an effective 20% discount to the trading price of the common stock prior to the conversion. The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling stockholder converts and sells material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by investors. This could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The selling stockholder could sell common stock into the market in anticipation of covering the short sale by converting their securities, which could cause the further downward pressure on the stock price. In addition, not only the sale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise of debentures, warrants and options, but also the mere perception that these sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
8
If We Are Required for any Reason to Repay Our Outstanding Convertible Debentures, We Would Be Required to Deplete Our Working Capital, If Available, Or Raise Additional Funds. Our Failure to Repay the Convertible Debentures, If Required, Could Result in Legal Action Against Us, Which Could Require the Sale of Substantial Assets.
In December 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale of an aggregate of $40,000 principal amount of convertible debentures, which are presently outstanding. The convertible debentures are due and payable, with 5¼ % interest, three years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of our common stock. In addition, any event of default could require the early repayment of the convertible debentures at a price equal to 130% of the amount due under the debentures. We anticipate that the full amount of the convertible debentures, together with accrued interest, will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the convertible debentures. If we are required to repay the convertible debentures, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the debentures when required, the debenture holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease operations.
9
If We Fail to Remain Current on Our Reporting Requirements, We Could be Removed From the OTC Bulletin Board Which Would Limit the Ability of Broker-Dealers to Sell Our Securities and the Ability of Stockholders to Sell Their Securities in the Secondary Market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we will receive the sale price of any common stock we sell to the selling stockholder upon exercise of the warrants in the amount up to $4,360,000 and we received an aggregate of $40,000 in connection with the issuance of the convertible debenture to the selling stockholder. We have used the $40,000 for the general working capital purposes. We expect to use the proceeds received from the exercise of the warrants, if any, for general working capital purposes.

HOLDERS
As of February 16, 2006, we had approximately 1,492 holders of our Class A common stock and 1 holder of our Class B common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. The transfer agent of our common stock is Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to stockholders in the foreseeable future. In addition, any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other factors as the Board of Directors deem relevant.

Overview
We research and develop technologies that detect and measure metal fatigue. We have developed two products. Our two products are the Fatigue Fuse and Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor. We do not generate any revenue from the sale of our products, and thus we are a development stage company. We do generate revenue from research and development services provided to third parties, primarily one defense contractor, however our revenues are minimal.
Our biggest challenge is funding the continued research and development of our products, and then the marketing of our products, until they generate sufficient revenue to support our operations. We try to keep our overhead low and utilize outside consultants as much as possible in order to reduce expenses, and thus far we have been successful in raising enough capital through loans and the sale of our common stock to fund operations. For the foreseeable future, we will continue to raise capital in this manner.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2004
Introduction
Our revenues for the fourth quarter of 2005 were substantially similar to the fourth quarter of 2004 and the third quarter of 2005, and were limited exclusively to our research contracts with Northrop Grumman. Most of our research and development costs in both years are related to the recorded cost of stock issued to third party consultants.

Introduction
In 2005, our revenues were limited exclusively to our research contracts with Northrop Grumman, and totaled $139,346. In 2004 we generated only $46,932 from our contracts with Northrop Grumman, but also generated $100,000 of our income for the year from research contract with URS Corporation. We continued to fund the majority of our operations through the issuance of our stock, resulting in large expenses in the areas of research and development and consulting. The amount of cash used our operations was relatively consistent at approximately $1.05 million in 2005 and $1.32 million in 2004. We anticipate that we will continue to fund a substantial portion of our operations through the issuance of stock until such time as we can begin to generate revenue from the sale of our products, and we do not have an estimate of when such revenues will begin.

The realized/unrealized loss on securities relates to the Langley investment. In 2004, the shares experienced a sharp decline, which leveled off in 2005. As a result, the loss recognized to operations was much larger in 2004.
The change in fair value of investments derivative liability relates to our investment in Birchington. This value represents the value of the downside price protection shares that we would be required to sell to Birchington based on the value of our shares as of December 31, 2005. The Birchington transaction was new in 2005.
Of the $6,493,345 in interest expense incurred in 2005, $5,917,188 was related to the fair values of derivative and warrant liabilities related to the GGI Notes and $399,420 pertained to the amortization of the debt discount related to the beneficial conversion feature of the Palisades Debentures. In addition, $45,354 was accrued on the note due the University of Pennsylvania, $127,010 was accrued on the actual outstanding principal balance of the Palisades Debentures, and $4,373 was accrued on our other interest-bearing obligations.
Of the $605,980 in interest expense incurred in 2004, $122,827 was accrued on the note due to the University of Pennsylvania, $93,119 was accrued on the actual outstanding principal balance of the convertible debenture, $326,161 pertains to the amortized portion of the discount attributed to the conversion feature of the debenture, and $59,500 was paid to the holder of a past due note as additional consideration. The $59,500 was paid through the issuance of 25,000 shares of our common stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the year ended December 31, 2005, we did not generate positive cash flow. As a result, we funded our operations through the sale of marketable securities that we obtained in a financing transaction, the sale of our common stock, the issuance of our common stock for services, and loans.
Our cash, investments in marketable securities held for trading, investments in marketable securities available for sale, prepaid services, prepaid expenses and other current assets, total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2005, as compared to December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, were as follows:

Cash Requirements
For the year ended December 31, 2005, our net cash used in operations was $(1,053,380), compared to $(1,321,389) for the year ended December 31, 2004. Negative operating cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2005, were primarily created by a net loss from operations of $20,749,260, offset by non-cash stock related expenses of $10,837,657, an adjustment for the fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities arising out of a financing transaction of $5,917,188, an other-than temporary impairment of marketable securities held for sale of

Sources and Uses of Cash
Net cash provided by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, were $679,962 and $395,379, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the net cash came primarily from the sale of marketable securities in the amount of $1,589,588 and $1,205,611, respectively, offset by the amount for purchase of securities of $(907,028) and $(900,000), respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, were $319,963 and $979,146, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the net cash came primarily from the sale of common stock and warrants in the amount of $325,239. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the net cash came primarily from the sale of common stock in the amount of $212,025, and proceeds from convertible debentures and other notes of $785,000.
We are not generating sufficient cash flow from operations to fund growth. We cannot predict when we will begin to generate revenue from the sale of our products, and until that time, we will need to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities. If we are unsuccessful in raising the required capital, we may have to curtail operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified four accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management's most difficult, subjective judgments.
The first critical accounting policy relates to revenue recognition. Income from our research is recognized at the time services are rendered and billed for.
The second critical accounting policy relates to research and development expense. Costs incurred in the development of our products are expensed as incurred.
The third critical accounting policy relates to the valuation of non-monetary consideration issued for services rendered. We value all services rendered in exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, which ever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration is valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.
Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance to EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or
17
The fourth critical accounting policy is our accounting for conventional convertible debt. When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by us as a debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF 98-05”), “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be record net of the discount related to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
The fifth critical account policy relates to the accounting for non-conventional convertible debt and the related stock purchase warrants. In the case of non-conventional convertible debt, we bifurcate our embedded derivative instruments and records them under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, and EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” These embedded derivatives include the conversion feature, liquidated damages related to registration rights and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that we record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, as a result of entering into the non-conventional convertible debenture, we are required to value and classify all other non-employee stock options and warrants as derivative liabilities at that date and mark them to market at each reporting date thereafter. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, we will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, we will record non-operating, non-cash income. We value our derivatives primarily using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The derivatives are classified as long-term liabilities.
The sixth critical accounting policy relates to the recording of marketable securities held for trading and available-for-sale. Marketable securities purchased with the intent of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted to their fair value, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on dispositions are based upon the net proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the specific identification method, and are recorded as realized gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations. Marketable securities that are not classified as trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are initially recorded at cost. Available-for-sale securities with quoted market prices are adjusted to their fair value, subject to an impairment analysis (see below). Any change in fair value during the period is excluded from earnings and recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any decline in value of available-for-sale securities below cost that is considered to be “other than temporary” is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of the security and is included in the statement of operations as a write down of the market value (see below).
The seventh critical accounting policy is our accounting for the fair market value of non-marketable securities we have acquired. Non-marketable securities are originally recorded at cost. In the case of non-marketable securities we acquired with our common stock, we value the securities at a significant discount to the stated per share cost based upon our historical experience with similar transactions as to the amount ultimately realized from the sale of the shares. Such investments are reduced when we have indications that a permanent decline in value has occurred. At such time as quoted market prices become available, the net cost basis of these securities will be reclassified to the appropriate category of marketable securities. Until that time, the securities will be recorded at their net cost basis, subject to an impairment analysis (see below).
In accordance with the guidance of EITF 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” we assess any decline in value of available-for-sale securities and non-marketable securities below cost as to whether such decline is “other than temporary.” If a decline is determined to be “other than temporary,” the decline is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of the security and is included in the statement of operations as an impairment write down of the investment.

BUSINESS
Introduction
We are engaged in research and development of metal fatigue detection, measurement, and monitoring technologies. As such, we are developing several monitoring devices for metal fatigue detection and measurement. We are a development stage company doing business as Tensiodyne Scientific Corporation.
Our efforts are dedicated to developing devices and systems that indicate the true fatigue status of a metal component. We have developed two products. The first is a small, extremely simple device that continuously integrates the effect of fatigue loading in a structural member, called a Fatigue Fuse. The second is an instrument that detects very small cracks in metals, the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor. It has demonstrated that it can detect cracks, in the laboratory, as small as 10 microns (0.0004 inches), which is smaller than any other practical crack detection technology, as acknowledged by the United States Air Force and confirmed by Rockwell Scientific Corporation. We hold the patents on the Fatigue Fuse and license the technology on the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor from the University of Pennsylvania.
We were formed as a Delaware corporation on March 4, 1997. We are the successor to the business of Material Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, also doing business as Tensiodyne Scientific, Inc. Material Technology, Inc. was the successor to the business of Tensiodyne Corporation that began developing the Fatigue Fuse in 1983. Our two predecessors, Tensiodyne Corporation and Material Technology, Inc. were engaged in developing and testing the Fatigue Fuse and, beginning in 1993, developing the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor.
As of December 31, 2005, our investments in our subsidiary companies represented less than 10% of our total assets. We have controlling interests in each of our subsidiary companies and members of our management also serve as officers and directors of each subsidiary.
Our Technologies
The Fatigue Fuse
The Fatigue Fuse is designed to be affixed to a structure to give warnings as pre-selected portions of the fatigue life have been used up (i.e., how far to failure the structure has progressed). It warns against a condition of widespread generalized cracking due to fatigue.
The Fatigue Fuse is a thin piece of metal similar to the material being monitored. It consists of a series of parallel metal strips connected to a common base, much as fingers are attached to a hand. Each “finger” has a different geometric pattern, called “notches,” defining its boundaries. Each finger incorporates an application-specific notch near the base. By applying the laws of physics to determine the geometric contour of each notch, the fatigue life of each finger is finite and predictable. When the fatigue life of a finger (Fuse) is reached, the Fuse breaks.
By implementing different geometry for each finger in the array, different increments of fatigue life are observable. Typically, notches will be designed to facilitate observing increments of fatigue life of 10% to 20%. By mechanically attaching or bonding these devices to different areas of the structural member of concern, the Fuse undergoes the same fatigue history (strain cycles) as the structural member. Therefore, breakage of a Fuse indicates that an increment of fatigue life has been reached for the structural member. The notch and the size and shape of the notch concentrate energy on each finger. The Fuse is intimately attached to the structural member of interest. Therefore, the Fuse experiences the same strain and wear history as the member. Methods are available for remote indication of Fuse fracturing.
In a new structure, we generally assume there is no fatigue and can thus design the Fatigue Fuse for 100% of its life potential. But in an existing structure, one that has experienced loading and wear, we must determine the fatigue status of that structural member so we can design the Fatigue Fuse to monitor the remaining fatigue life potential.
We believe that the Fatigue Fuse is of value in monitoring aircraft, ships, bridges, conveyor systems, mining equipment, cranes, etc. No special training is needed to qualify individuals to report any broken segments of the Fatigue Fuse to the appropriate engineering authority for necessary action. The success of the device is contingent upon our successful marketing of the Fatigue Fuse, and no assurance can be given that we will be able to
19
The Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (“EFS”)
The EFS is a device that employs the principle of electrochemical/mechanical interaction to find cracks. It is an instrument that detects very small cracks and has the potential to determine crack growth rates. The Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor has demonstrated in the laboratory that it can detect cracks as small as 10 microns (0.0004 inches), which is smaller than any other practical technology, as acknowledged by the United States Air Force and Rockwell Scientific Corporation. We believe that nothing comparable to this instrument currently exists in materials technology.
The EFS functions by treating the location of interest (the target) associated with the structural member as an electrode of an electrochemical cell. By imposing a constant voltage-equivalent circuit as the control mechanism for the electrochemical reaction at the target surface, current flows as a function of stress action. The EFS is always a dynamic process; therefore stress action is required, e.g. to measure a bridge structural member it is necessary that cyclic loads be imposed, as normal traffic on the bridge would do. The results are a specific set of current waveforms and amplitudes that characterize and indicate fatigue damage i.e., fatigue cracks.
Development of our Technologies
Currently, our primary focus is on the development and commercialization of the EFS. Due to our limited resources, efforts in the development and testing of the Fatigue Fuse have been delayed.

The development and application sequence for the Fatigue Fuse and EFS is (a) basic research, (b) exploratory development, (c) advanced development, (d) prototype evaluation, (e) application demonstration, and (f) commercial sales and service. The Fatigue Fuse came first. The inventor, Professor Maurice Brull, conducted the basic research at the University of Pennsylvania. We conducted the advanced development, including variations of the adhesive bonding process, and fabricating a laboratory-grade remote recorder for finger separation events that constitute proper functioning of the Fatigue Fuse. The next step, prototype evaluation, encompasses empirical tailoring of Fatigue Fuse parameters to fit the actual spectrum loading expected in specific applications, and needs to be done. The tests associated with further development of the Fatigue Fuse include full-scale structural tests with attached Fatigue Fuses. A prototype of the Fatigue Fuse has been designed, fabricated, and successfully demonstrated. The next tasks will be to prepare an analysis for more efficient selection of Fatigue Fuse parameters and to conduct a comprehensive test program to prove the ability of the Fatigue Fuse to accurately indicate fatigue damage when subjected to realistically large variations in measuring stresses and strains in fatiguing metal. The final tasks prior to marketing will be an even larger group of demonstration tests.
The Fatigue Fuse is at its final stages of testing and development. To begin marketing the Fatigue Fuse, it is our belief that it will take from six to 12 months and cost approximately $600,000, including technical and beta testing and final development. If testing, development, and marketing are successful, we estimate we should begin receiving revenue from the sale of the Fatigue Fuse within a year of completing development. However, we cannot estimate the amount of revenue that may be realized from sales of the Fuse, if any.
To date, certain organizations have included our Fatigue Fuse in test programs. We have already completed the tests for welded steel civil bridge members conducted at the University of Rhode Island. In 1996, Westland Helicopter, a British firm, tested the Fatigue Fuse on helicopters. That test was successful with the legs of the Fatigue Fuses failing in sequence as predicted.
The Fatigue Fuse has been at this stage for the past several years as we have not had the necessary financial resources to finalize our development and commence marketing. At the present time we have elected to defer future development of the Fatigue Fuse and apply our resources to pursue the EFS technology.
Status of the EFS
The existence of very small cracks can be determined by EFS, and in this regard it appears superior in resolution to other current non-destructive testing techniques. It has succeeded in regularly detecting cracks as small
20
Commercial Markets for our Products and Technologies
No commercial application of our products has been arranged to date, but we believe it can be applied to certain markets. Our technology is applicable to many market sectors such as bridges and aerospace as well as ships, cranes, railways, power plants, nuclear facilities, chemical plants, mining equipment, piping systems, and heavy iron.
Application Of Our Technologies For Bridges
Our EFS and Fatigue Fuse products primarily address the detection of fatigue in structures such as bridges. In the United States alone there are more than 610,000 bridges of which over 260,000 are rated by the Federal Highway Administration as requiring major repair, rehabilitation, or replacement. Our EFS and Fatigue Fuse products can be effectively used as fatigue detection devices for all metal bridges located within the United States. Our detection devices also address maintenance problems associated with bridge structures.
Although there are normal business imperatives, the bridge market is essentially macro-economically and government policy driven. In our opinion, only technology can provide the solution. The need for increased spending accelerates significantly each year as infrastructure ages. The Federal government has recently mandated bridge repair and detection through the passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation and Efficiency Act in 1991 and again in the $200 billion, 1998 Transportation Equity Act. We do not currently have contracts in place to install our fatigue detection products on bridge structures within the United States.
Our Patent Protections
We are the assignee of four patents originally issued to Tensiodyne Corporation. The first was issued on May 27, 1986, and expired on May 27, 2003. It is titled “Device for Monitoring Fatigue Life” and bears United States Patent Office Number 4,590,804. The second patent, titled “Metal Fatigue Detector” was issued on August 24, 1993 and expires on August 24, 2010, United States Patent Number 5,237,875. The third patent, titled “Device for Monitoring the Fatigue Life of a Structural Member and a Method of Making Same,” was issued on June 14, 1994 and expires on June 14, 2011, United States Patent Number 5,319,982. In addition, we own a fourth patent, titled “Device for Monitoring the Fatigue Life of a Structural Member and a Method of Making Same,” which was issued June 20, 1995, United States Patent Number 5,425,274, and expires June 20, 2012.
Our Patents are Encumbered
The patents described in the preceding section are pledged as collateral to secure the repayment of loans extended to us or indebtedness that we currently owe. On August 30, 1986, we entered into a funding agreement with the Advanced Technology Center, whereby ATC paid $45,000 to us for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicensing revenue. The royalty is limited to the $45,000 plus an 11% annual rate of return. At December 31, 2005, the future royalty commitment was limited to approximately $344,000. The payment of future royalties is secured by equipment we use in the development of technology as specified in the funding agreement, however, no lien against our equipment or our patents in favor of ATC vests until we generate royalties from product sales.
On May 4, 1987, we entered into a funding agreement with ATC whereby ATC provided $63,775 to us for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicensing revenue. The agreement was amended August 28, 1987, and as amended, the royalty cannot exceed the lesser of (1) the amount of the advance plus a 26% annual rate of return or, (2) total royalties earned for a term of 17 years. As with our first agreement with ATC, no lien or encumbrance against our assets, including our patents, vests in favor of ATC until we generate royalties from product sales. If we were to default on these payments to ATC, our obligations relating to these agreements then
21
On May 27, 1994, we borrowed $25,000 from Sherman Baker, one of our shareholders. We gave Mr. Baker a promissory note due May 31, 2002 and we pledged our patents as collateral to secure the repayment of this note. As of the date of this prospectus, there is a first priority security interest in our patents as collateral for the repayment of the amounts we owe to Mr. Baker. As additional consideration for this loan, we granted to Mr. Baker a 1% royalty interest in the Fatigue Fuse and a 0.5% royalty interest in the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor. We are in default of the repayment terms of the note held by Mr. Baker, and at December 31, 2005, we owe Mr. Baker $53,515 in principal and accrued interest. Mr. Baker has not taken any action to foreclose his interest in the collateral and we are in discussions with Mr. Baker, with the expectation that we will cure any default in the note he holds and avoid any foreclosure of his security interest held in our patents. We believe that although we have not yet cured our defaults on the loans to Mr. Baker, our current communications with him suggest that Mr. Baker does not have the present intention of foreclosing on the patents as collateral or the pursuit of legal action against us to collect the balance due under our note.
Distribution of our Products
Subject to available financing, we intend to exhibit the Fatigue Fuse and the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor at various trade shows and intend to also market our products directly to end users including certain state regulatory agencies charged with overseeing bridge maintenance, companies engaged in manufacturing and maintaining large ships and tankers, and the military. Although we intend to undertake marketing, dependent on the availability of funds, within and without the United States, no assurance can be given that any such marketing activities will be implemented.
Competition
Other technologies exist which measure and indicate fatigue damage. Single cracks larger than a minimum size can be found by nondestructive inspection methods such as dye penetrate, radiography, eddy current, acoustic emission, and ultrasonics. Tracking of load and strain history, to subsequently estimate fatigue damage by computer processing, is possible with recording instruments such as strain gauges and counting accelerometers. These methods have been used for 40 years and also offer the advantage of having been accepted in the market, whereas our products remain largely unproven. Companies marketing these alternate technologies include Magnaflux Corporation, Kraut-Kermer-Branson, Dunegan-Endevco, and Micro Measurements. These companies have more substantial assets, greater experience, and more resources than ours, including, but not limited to, established distribution channels and an established customer base. The familiarity and loyalty to these technologies may be difficult to dislodge. Because we are still in the development stage, we are unable to predict whether our technologies will be successfully developed and commercially attractive in potential markets.
EMPLOYEES
We have four employees, Robert M. Bernstein, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a Secretary, and two part time engineers. In addition, we retain consultants for specialized work.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
We lease an office at 11661 San Vicente Blvd., Suite 707, Los Angeles, California, 90049. The space consists of 830 square feet and will be adequate for our current and foreseeable needs. The total rent is payable at $2,348 per month on a month-to-month basis. Either party may cancel the lease on 30 days notice.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 15, 2005, we filed a Complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court, State of California, case number BC336689, against Gem Advisors, Inc., GEM Global Emerging Markets, and Global Emerging Markets of North America, Inc., seeking a declaration regarding certain agreements we entered into with the parties. We did not seek monetary damages. On November 16, 2005, Gem Advisors, Inc. filed an Answer and Cross-Complaint, seeking approximately $1.9 million in damages arising out of finders fees for certain transactions. On November 30, 2005, default judgments were entered against the other defendants who failed to respond to our Complaint. No discovery has been taken. We intend to pursue our Complaint and defend the Cross-Complaint vigorously and anticipate that discovery will commence shortly.

Farber did not issue a report in either of the last two years, as they were engaged only to perform reviews of the our interim financial statements for each of the three quarters in the period ended September 30, 2004. The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Board of Directors. There were no disagreements with Farber on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure from the time of their appointment as our certifying accountant through January 20, 2005.
We engaged Corbin & Company, LLP (hereinafter "Corbin") as the principal accountants to audit our financial statements effective as of January 21, 2005. We, during our most recent fiscal year and any subsequent interim period to the date hereof, did not have discussions nor has we consulted with Corbin regarding the following: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion to be rendered on the our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to us nor oral advice was provided that Corbin concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matters that were the subject of a "disagreement", as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-B, or a reportable event.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of February 16, 2006
29
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES BEING REGISTERED
COMMON STOCK
We are authorized to issue up to 1,699,400,000 and 600,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001, and Class B Common Stock, par value $.001, respectively. As of February 16, 2006, we had approximately 1,492 holders of our common stock and 1 holder of our Class B common stock. Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to 2,000 votes per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. The Class B common stock is convertible to common stock on a one-for-one basis. Holders of common stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our company, the holders of common stock and Class B Common Stock common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets which are legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities and liquidation preference of any outstanding common stock or Class B Common Stock common stock. Holders of common stock and Class B Common Stock common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock and Class B Common Stock common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We have engaged Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117, as independent transfer agent or registrar.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for
30
Our By Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize us to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification rights to persons other than directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act" or "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholder and any of its pledgees, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
The selling stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholder shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling stockholder or its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling stockholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling stockholder cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the selling stockholder, but excluding brokerage commissions or underwriter discounts.
The selling stockholder, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into.
31
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder, or their transferees or assignees, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the selling stockholder or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
If the selling stockholder notifies us that it has a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling stockholder and the broker-dealer.
PENNY STOCK
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
32
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling stockholder. We will receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. Assuming all the shares registered below are sold by the selling stockholder, it will not continue to own any shares of our common stock.
The following table also sets forth the name of each person who is offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may be sold in this offering and the number of shares of common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered.
Total |
* These columns represents the aggregate maximum number and percentage of shares that the selling stockholder can own at one time (and therefore, offer for resale at any one time) due to their 9.9% limitation.
**Less than 1%.
The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of the common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table.
(1) Includes a good faith estimate of the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise of warrants, based on current market prices. Because the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures is dependent in part upon the market price of the common stock prior to a conversion, the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon conversion will fluctuate daily and cannot be determined at this time. Under the terms of the convertible debentures, if the convertible debentures had actually been converted on February 15, 2006, the conversion price would have been $.0839. The actual number of shares of common stock offered in this prospectus, and included in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, includes such additional number of shares of common stock as may be issued or issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise of the related warrants by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction involving the common stock, in accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933. However the selling stockholder has contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert their convertible debentures or exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock set forth in the table for the selling stockholder exceeds the number of shares of common stock that the selling stockholder could own beneficially at any given time through their ownership of the convertible debentures and the warrants. In that regard, the beneficial ownership of the common stock by the selling stockholder set forth in the table is not determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
33
(3) Includes 72,646,330 (150%) shares of common stock underlying our $40,000 convertible debenture and 4,000,000 shares of common stock underlying common stock purchase warrants issued to Golden Gate Investors, Inc.
(4) Assumes that all securities registered will be sold, which does not represent all of the shares of common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture held by Golden Gate at current market prices.
(5) The selling stockholder is an unaffiliated third party. In accordance with rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Michael Sobeck and Chris Lipa may be deemed control persons of the shares owned by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder has notified us that they are not broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers and that they believe they are not required to be broker-dealers.
(6) Includes shares of common stock issued to the selling stockholder pursuant to that certain Investor Relations Services Agreements dated as of December 8, 2005 and February 7, 2006 as compensation for investor relations services performed by the selling stockholder under said agreements.
Terms of Convertible Debentures
To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (“Golden Gate”) on December 16, 2005, as amended by that certain Addendum to Convertible Debenture, Warrant to Purchase Common Stock and Securities Purchase Agreement, and that certain Addendum to Convertible Debenture and Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, each dated as of December 16, 2005, for the sale of (i) $40,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to buy 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. This prospectus relates to the resale of the common stock underlying these convertible debentures and warrants. The investors provided us with an aggregate of $40,000 upon the execution of final definitive agreements.
The debentures bear interest at 5¼%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholder’s option. The convertible debentures are convertible into the number of our shares of common stock equal to the dollar amount of the debentures being converted multiplied by 110, less the product of the conversion formula multiplied by 100 times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted, which is divided by the conversion formula. The conversion formula for the convertible debentures is the lesser of (i) $0.70, (ii) eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion or (iii) eighty percent of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the conversion. Accordingly, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into which the debenture may be converted. Golden Gate has agreed that, beginning in the first full calendar month after the registration statement is declared effective, it shall convert at least 5%, but no more than 10%, of the debentures per calendar month, provided that the common stock is available, registered and freely tradable; provided that, if, at any time during the applicable month, the volume weighted average price is below $.10, Golden Gate is not obligated to convert any portion of the debenture during that month. However, in the event that our volume weighted average price is less than $.20, we will have the option to prepay the debenture at 130% rather than have the debenture converted. If we elect to prepay the debenture, Golden Gate may withdraw its conversion notice. Golden Gate has agreed that, beginning in the first full calendar month after the registration statement is declared effective, it shall exercise at least 5%, but no more than 10%, of the warrants per calendar month, provided that the common stock is available, registered and freely tradable; provided that, if, at any time during the applicable month, the volume weighted average price is below $.10, Golden Gate is not obligated to exercise any portion of the warrant during that month. If Golden Gate exercises more than 5% of the warrants in any calendar month, the excess over 5% shall be credited against the next month’s minimum exercise amount. In the event Golden Gate does not exercise at least 5% of the warrants in any particular calendar month, it shall not be entitled to collect interest on the debenture for that month. The warrant is exercisable into 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.09 per share.
The selling stockholder has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert or exercise its warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
34
The convertible debentures are convertible into the number of our shares of common stock equal to the dollar amount of the debentures being converted multiplied by 110, less the product of the conversion formula multiplied by 100 times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted, which is divided by the conversion formula. The conversion formula for the convertible debentures is the lesser of (i) $0.70, (ii) eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion or (iii) eighty percent of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the conversion. For example, assuming conversion of $40,000 of debentures on February 15, 2006, a conversion price of $0.0839 per share, the number of shares issuable upon conversion would be:
($40,000 x 110) ($.0839 x (100 x $40,000)) = 3,888,000 /$.0839 = 48,430,887
The following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of the principal amount of our convertible debentures, based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price, as of February 16, 2006 of $0.15.
Effective Number % of
% Below Price Per Conversion of Shares Outstanding
Market Share Price Issuable Stock
25% $.1125 $.09 44,888,889 20.08%
50% $.075 $.06 69,333,333 27.96%
75% $.0375 $.03 142,666,667 44.40%
LEGAL MATTERS

The financial statements referred to above are included in this prospectus with reliance upon the auditors’ opinion based on their expertise in accounting and auditing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Material Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Material Technologies, Inc. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the cumulative data from October 21, 1983 (inception) to December 31, 2003 in the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows, which were audited by other auditors whose reports dated March 7, 2003 and March 16, 2004, which expressed unqualified opinions (the March 16, 2004 report was modified related to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern) have been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the cumulative period from October 21, 1983 (inception) to December 31, 2003 is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinions. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Material Technologies, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and for the period from October 21, 1983 (inception) through December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and has yet to be successful in establishing profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Material Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was organized on October 21, 1983, under the laws of the state of Delaware.
The Company is in the development stage, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises,” with its principal activity being research and development in the area of metal fatigue technology with the intent of future commercial application.
On January 22, 2003, the Company formed Matech International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“International”). International was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to advertise, market and sell the Company’s videoscope technology which is presently utilized in the inspection of stress and crack points in turbine engines on the wings of airplanes. At the present time there is no activity in International and the Company does not anticipate nor reasonably foresee any business activity in International in the near future.
On March 13, 2003, the Company formed Matech Aerospace, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Aerospace”). Aerospace was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to advertise, market and sell all manufacturing and marketing rights to the Company’s products and technologies in all commercial markets within the United States. During 2003, Aerospace sold shares of its common stock to investors. As of December 31, 2005, the Company holds a 99% interest in Aerospace. At the present time there is no activity in Aerospace and the Company does not anticipate nor reasonably foresee any business activity in Aerospace in the near future.
Unless otherwise noted, common stock refers to the Company’s Class A common stock.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception (October 21, 1983). In addition, the Company has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations. Further, at December 31, 2005, the deficit accumulated during the development stage amounted to approximately $61 million.
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION, continued
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements and the success of its future operations. The Company has entered into a $215,000 contract to provide research services, of which approximately $67,000 remains to be billed and approximately $71,000 was owed as of December 31, 2005. During 2005, the Company netted approximately $683,000 from sale of marketable securities and as of December 31, 2005 had approximately $300,000 of marketable securities held for trading. Additionally, in December 2005, the Company issued warrants to a note holder to purchase 4,000,000 shares of its common stock at price of $1.09 per share, which the noteholder has agreed to convert at the rate of at least 5% per calendar month (200,000 warrants for $218,000) once the related registration statement is declared effective (see Note 9). The Company anticipates that the registration statement will be declared effective by mid 2006. To date, the Company has received $10,000 as an advance toward the future exercise of the warrants. The Company also continues to raise funds through the sale of its common stock through private offerings which management expects to continue in 2006, and the Company continues its attempt to develop its technologies for commercial application. Management believes that these sources of funds and current liquid assets will allow the Company to continue as a going concern through the end of 2006. Management of the Company will need to raise additional debt and/or equity capital to finance future activities beyond 2006. However, no assurances can be made that current or anticipated future sources of funds will enable the Company to finance future periods’ operations. In light of these circumstances, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of Material Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The minority owners’ interests in a subsidiary have been reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
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. Significant estimates include the fair value of marketable and non-marketable securities, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the amount of the deferred tax valuation allowance. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Investments
Marketable securities purchased with the intent of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted to their fair value, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on dispositions are based upon the net proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the specific identification method, and are recorded as realized gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations. Marketable securities that are not classified as trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are initially recorded at cost. Available-for-sale securities with quoted market prices are adjusted to their fair value. Any change in fair value during the period is excluded from earnings and recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any decline in value of available-for-sale securities below cost that is considered to be “other than temporary” is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of the security and is included in the statement of operations as an impairment loss.
Non-marketable securities consist of equity securities for which there are no quoted market prices. Such investments are initially recorded at their cost. In the case of non-marketable securities acquired with the Company’s common stock, the Company values the securities at a significant discount to the stated per share cost based upon the Company’s historical experience with similar transactions as to the amount ultimately realized from the sale of the shares. For the investment in Birchington shares (see Note 3), the Company has applied an 80% discount to the stated per share cost. At such time as quoted market prices become available, the net cost basis of these securities will be reclassified to the appropriate category of marketable securities. Until that time, the securities will be recorded at their net cost basis, subject to an impairment analysis (see below). At December 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize any impairment of its non-marketable securities because there have been no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment, and the Company determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investment.
In connection with the Birchington securities, the Company has placed in escrow, for a period of one year from the closing date of each transaction, a total of 3,555,000 shares of its own common stock. If at the expiration of the one-year period, the market price of the Company’s common stock is below the Closing Price, as defined in the Birchington Agreements, the Company is required to sell to Birchington, at a price of $0.01 per share, a portion of the shares held in escrow determined by the formula specified in the Birchington Agreements. The Company bifurcates the fair value of the shares it would be required to sell to Birchington at December 31, 2005, if such requirement existed, and has reflected the resulting amount in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
In accordance with the guidance of EITF 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” the Company assesses any decline in value of available-for-sale securities and non-marketable securities below cost as to whether such decline is “other than temporary.” If a decline is determined to be “other than temporary,” the decline is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of the security and is included in the statement of operations as an impairment write down of the investment. Since the Company does not reasonably foresee the price of its common stock increasing above its year end closing price by the time the Langley shares are released from escrow, the Company has recognized an “other-than-temporary” impairment charge of $1,918,587 as of December 31, 2005, representing the value of Langley shares the Company would be required to offer for sale back to Langley at a nominal price. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recognized an “other than temporary” impairment charge (related to the decline in market value of the Langley shares) on its available-for-sale investments totaling $4,284,760.
Receivable Due on Research Contract
Accounts receivable are reported at the customers’ outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not accrue interest on overdue accounts receivable.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. As of December 31, 2005, management believes all accounts receivable are collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.
The Company depreciates its property and equipment using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Machinery 5 years
Computer equipment 3-5 years
Office equipment 5 years
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents, license agreements and website design costs and are recorded at cost. Patents and license agreements are amortized over 17 years and website design costs are amortized over five years.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of December 31, 2005, the Company does not believe there has been any impairment of its long-lived assets.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary 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. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.
Convertible Debentures
If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF 98-05”), “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Derivative Financial Instruments
In the case of non-conventional convertible debt, the Company bifurcates its embedded derivative instruments and records them under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, and EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the non-conventional notes (“Notes”) entered into with Golden Gate Investors (“GGI”) on December 16, 2005 (see Note 9). These embedded derivatives include the conversion feature, liquidated damages related to registration rights and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement ($5,917,188 recorded as interest expense and $40,000 recorded as debt discount) and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. Derivatives were valued primarily using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, annual volatility of 185%, and risk free interest rate of 4.3%. As the Notes were entered into near the end of the year, the value of the related derivative liabilities were not substantially different from the values derived at December 16, 2005. Hence the Company did not record any changes in fair value as of December 31, 2005. The derivatives are classified as long-term liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, convertible debentures and derivative and warrant liabilities. Pursuant to SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments at the balance sheet date. The Company cannot determine the estimated fair value of the convertible debentures as instruments similar to the convertible debentures could not be found. Other than these items, the Company considers the carrying values of its financial instruments in the financial statements to approximate their fair values.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the Company’s contracts relating to the further development of the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (“EFS”). Revenue on the contracts is recognized at the time services are rendered. The Company bills monthly for services pursuant to these contracts at which time revenue is recognized for the period that the respective invoice relates. In October 2003, the Company entered into a contract to provide research services to a third party in connection with the application of the Company’s EFS to detect stress on military vehicles. The contract has an approved budget of $215,281. The balance due the Company on this contract at December 31, 2005 amounted to $70,825. This gross amount includes out-of pocket expenses relating to third party engineering and other related costs.
In the past, the Company has received research and development funding from various agencies of the U.S. government. U.S. government contracts are subject to government audits. Such audits could lead to inquiries from the government regarding the allowability of costs under U.S. government regulations and potential adjustments of contract revenues. To date, the Company has not been involved in any such audits.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
Net Loss per Share
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“EPS”). SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or losses of the entity. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, since the calculation of diluted per share amounts would result in an anti-dilutive calculation that is not permitted and therefore not included. If such shares were included in diluted EPS, they would have resulted in weighted-average common shares of 180,800,861 and 144,246,012, in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Such amounts include shares potentially issuable pursuant to shares held in escrow (see Note 12), convertible debentures (see Note 9), and outstanding “in-the-money” options and warrants (see Note 14).
Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration
All issuances of the Company's stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a per share amount equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration received pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and has been valued at the market value of the shares on the dates issued. In certain instances, the Company has discounted the values assigned to the issued shares for illiquidity and/or restrictions on resale (see Note 12).
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" and EITF 00-18, "Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees." The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance to EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company recorded the fair value of the common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in its consolidated balance sheet (see Note 4).
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and DisclosureAn amendment to SFAS No. 123.” These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123 and 148, the cost of stock-based employee compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized no compensation expense under SFAS No. 123 as no options were issued to employees.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. From time to time, the Company’s cash balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. Management believes the risk of loss of cash balances in excess of the insured limit to be low.
The Company’s 2005 revenues were generated from one customer and its 2004 revenues were generated by two customers.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the December 31, 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2005 presentation. Such reclassification had no effect on net loss as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement 3.” This statement replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20 (“APB No. 20”), Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Reporting.” APB No. 20 required that most voluntary changes in an accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 generally requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of changes in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective in the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” This statement requires that the assets, liabilities and results of the activities of variable interest entities be consolidated into the financial statements of the company that has a controlling financial interest. It also provides the framework for determining whether an entity should be consolidated based on voting interest or significant financial support provided to it. In general, for all entities that were previously considered special purpose entities, FIN 46R should be applied in periods ending after December 15, 2003. Otherwise, FIN 46R is applicable to all public entities for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion 29, Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions.” The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have "commercial substance." The provisions in SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2005. The adoption of the statement did not cause a significant change in the current manner in which the Company accounts for its exchanges of non-monetary assets.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
The FASB has issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” The new rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. This statement precludes the recognition of compensation expense under APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method. Public entities will be required to apply Statement 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Since the Company has been accounting for its share-based compensation under SFAS No. 123, management believes SFAS No. 123R should not have a significant impact on the way it accounts for its stock-based compensation.
NOTE 3 INVESTMENTS
Langley
On October 1, 2004, the Company consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Langley Agreement”) with Langley Park Investments, PLC (“Langley”), a corporation organized under the laws of England and Wales. The Langley shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”). Pursuant to the Langley Agreement, the Company issued 8,666,666 shares of its common stock in exchange for 7,158,590 shares of Langley common stock. The number of Langley shares issued was based on the Company’s shares having a value of $1.50 per share and the Langley shares having a value of one British Pound Sterling per share and the conversion rate of the British Pound Sterling to the U.S. Dollar in effect as of the close of business on the day preceding the closing date. The Company initially recorded the Langley shares at $12,973,513. This amount was determined by multiplying the number of Langley shares issued by the market value of the Langley shares of one British Pound Sterling and the applicable exchange rate. The Langley Agreement further provides that of the Langley shares purchased, one half of the shares (3,579,295) are immediately saleable and the remaining half, to which the Company has legal title, will be held in an escrow account for a period of two years. For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers the 3,579,295 shares held in escrow as shares available for sale.
If, at the end of the two-year period, the shares of the Company do not have a market price greater than or equal to the Company’s original closing price, as defined in the Langley Agreement, the Company will be required to sell back some or all of its Langley shares held in escrow at a nominal price, based on a formula as defined in the Langley Agreement. However, if at the end of the two-year period, the market value of the Company’s common stock exceeds the closing price, the Langley shares will be released from escrow.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company sold 2,579,295 of its Langley trading shares for net proceeds of $1,005,606 and recognized a loss on these sales of $3,668,850, which was charged to operations. The Company determined that $4,284,760 of the decline in the value of available-for-sale investments in 2004 was other than temporary and therefore, included the decline in 2004 operations as an impairment charge. The Company charged the remaining $1,167,616 decline in market value of the Langley trading shares that was considered temporary at December 31, 2004 to other comprehensive loss.
NOTE 3 INVESTMENTS, continued
In 2005, the Company sold its remaining currently saleable shares for $285,516 and recognized a loss from the sale totaling $3,474. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s common stock closing price was less than the closing price. Based upon the formula in the Langley Agreement, the Company would be obligated to offer to sell back approximately 3,100,000 of the escrow shares to Langley at a nominal price. The Company does not reasonably foresee the price of its common stock increasing above its December 31, 2005 closing price by the end of the two-year period (October 1, 2006). Therefore, the Company has recognized an “other-than-temporary” impairment of $1,918,587 during the year ended December 31, 2005. The unrealized loss balance of $121,217 at December 31, 2005 relates to the temporary decline in the market value of the Langley shares.
Birchington
In 2005, the Company entered into two agreements (the “Birchington Agreements”) with Birchington Investments Limited (“Birchington”), a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Birchington shares are listed, but not yet traded, on the Dublin Stock Exchange. On April 7, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement (the “April Birchington Agreement”) to purchase 8,307,000 shares of Birchington for 5,850,000 shares of its common stock. Additionally, the Company reserved 1,755,000 shares of its common stock in escrow (reflected as issued but not outstanding at December 31, 2005 see Note 12) as downside price protection, as defined in the April Birchington Agreement.
On September 27, 2005, the Company entered into another agreement (the “September Birchington Agreement”) to purchase 9,606,000 shares of Birchington common stock for 6,000,000 shares of its common stock. Additionally, the Company reserved 1,800,000 shares of its common stock in escrow (reflected as issued but not outstanding at December 31, 2005 see Note 12) as downside price protection, as defined in the September Birchington Agreement.
The Company shares are restricted from sale by Birchington for a period of one year. If the price of the Company’s common stock is below the closing price (as defined) on the anniversary of the closing date of these transactions, then Birchington shall be entitled to purchase out of escrow a percentage of the escrowed shares equal to the percentage of such decline for a price of $0.01 per share. Any shares remaining in escrow will then be returned to the Company. Based on the Company’s closing price at December 31, 2005, Birchington would be entitled to purchase 3,082,817 shares out of escrow, if the requirement existed at December 31, 2005. The Company has bifurcated the downside price protection feature of the Birchington Agreements and has valued this feature at its fair value, totaling $585,735 at December 31, 2005. This value is recorded as investments derivative liability in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and will be marked to market each reporting period.
NOTE 3 INVESTMENTS, continued
The Company valued the original purchase of the Birchington common shares at $0.20 per share, an 80% discount to the stated value of $1.00 per share. The per share price was determined by the Company based upon the current non-marketability of the Birchington shares and its experience with similar transactions in the past. The Company has reviewed the recorded value of the Birchington shares for impairment as of December 31, 2005, pursuant to EITF 03-1. The Company does not believe that there has been any permanent impairment to the value of the Birchington shares as of December 31, 2005.
In connection with the Birchington Agreements, the Company issued 1,185,000 shares of its common stock to consultants. These shares were reflected as a dilution to the value per share recorded by the Company in the Birchington transactions.
Mutual Fund
As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s investment in an open-end mutual fund approximated its cost of $302,841. The Company considers its investment in this account as being held for trading. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company sold $1,304,062 of this investment and recognized a net loss on the transactions totaling $115, which was charged to operations.

NOTE 4 PREPAID SERVICES
In August 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant. The agreement has a one-year term and provides for compensation of 250,000 nonforfeitable shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares were valued at their quoted market price at the date of issuance totaling $525,000. As of December 31, 2005, $306,250 of the unamortized compensation cost was included in prepaid services in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and $218,750 of amortized compensation cost was included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 7 LICENSE AGREEMENT
The Company has entered into a license agreement with the University of Pennsylvania (the “University”) for the development and marketing of EFS. EFS is designed to measure electrochemically the state of fatigue damage in a metal structural member. The Company is in the final stage of developing EFS.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued to the University 13 shares of its common stock, and a 5% royalty on sales of the product. The Company valued the license agreement at $6,250. The license terminates upon the expiration of the underlying patents, unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement. The Company is amortizing the license over 17 years.
In addition to the license agreement, the Company also agreed to sponsor the development of EFS. Under the sponsorship agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the University development costs totaling approximately $200,000, to be paid in 18 monthly installments of $11,112. Under the agreement, the Company reimbursed the University $10,000 in 1996 for the cost it incurred in the procurement and maintenance of its patents on EFS.
The Company and the University agreed to modify the terms of the license and sponsorship agreements and related obligation. The modification of the license agreement increased the University's royalty to 7% of the sale of related products and provided for the issuance of additional shares of the Company's common stock to equal 5% of the outstanding stock of the Company as of the effective date of the modification, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The modification of the sponsorship agreement included paying the University 30% of any amounts raised by the Company in excess of $150,000 (excluding amounts received on government grants or contracts) up to the amount owing to the University.
The parties agreed that the balance owed on the sponsorship agreement was $200,000 and commencing September 30, 1997, the balance accrued compound interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (19.6% effective annual rate) until maturity on December 16, 2001, when the loan balance and accrued interest became fully due and payable.
In August 2005, the parties entered into an agreement (the “Workout Agreement”) that again modified the terms of the Company’s obligation under the sponsorship agreement. Pursuant to the Workout Agreement, retroactive to January 1, 2005, interest will be charged only on the December 31, 2004 balance of $760,831 (“Remaining Obligation”) at a monthly rate of 0.5% simple interest. The Company is obligated to pay $25,000 annually due on the anniversary date of the Workout Agreement. Further, the Company is also obligated to pay within ten days following the filing of the Company’s Forms 10-Q or 10-K an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s net income before extraordinary items and income taxes as reflected in the quarterly and annual filings. Under the revised terms of the Workout Agreement, Mr. Bernstein’s, the Company’s president, annual cash salary is capped at $250,000. The Company agreed to pay the University an amount equal to any cash salary paid to Mr. Bernstein in excess of the $250,000, which will be credited against the Remaining Obligation. In accordance with the terms of the Workout
NOTE 7 LICENSE AGREEMENT, continued
Agreement, the Company issued 4,552,000 shares of its common stock to the University in September 2005, representing 5.25% of the Company's outstanding shares as of the date of the Workout Agreement. The University cannot sell the shares for 18 months. The Company valued the shares at $7,738,400, which was charged to operations to other expense as a modification of its research and development sponsorship agreement. The shares were valued at their quoted market price on the date of issuance less a 15% discount for the sales restriction.
Interest expense charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $45,354 and $122,828, respectively. The balance of the obligation (including accrued interest) at December 31, 2005 was $781,185 and is reflected in research and development sponsorship payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The current portion represents the minimum annual payment under the Workout Agreement, while the remaining balance is reflected as non-current as the Company does not expect to be required to make additional payments during 2006.
NOTE 8 NOTES PAYABLE
On May 27, 1994, the Company borrowed $25,000 from a shareholder. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at 6.5 percent. The note is secured by the Company’s patents and matured on May 31, 2002. The loan has not been paid and is now in default. As additional consideration for the loan, the Company granted to the shareholder a 1% royalty interest in the Fatigue Fuse and a 0.5% royalty interest in EFS (see Note 11). The balance due on this loan as of December 31, 2005 was $53,515. Interest charged to operations for both 2005 and 2004 was $1,623.
In October 1996, the Company borrowed $25,000 from an unrelated third party. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 11% and matured on October 15, 2000. The Company issued warrants to the lender for the purchase of 25 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. The loan balance as of December 31, 2005 was $25,000. Interest charged to operations on this loan was $2,750 in both 2005 and 2004. The Company did not pay any principal amounts due on this note when it matured on October 15, 2000 and the note is in default. In 2004, the Company issued the note holder 25,000 shares of its common stock as additional compensation for the failure to pay off the indebtedness. The shares are subject to a three-year lockup agreement and were valued at $59,500 and charged to interest expense (see Note 11).
On April 28, 2003, the Company borrowed $10,000 from an unrelated third party. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.
NOTE 9 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
Palisades
On September 23, 2003, the Company entered into a Class A Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Debentures”) with Palisades Capital, LLC or its registered assigns (“Palisades”), pursuant to which Palisades agreed to loan the Company up to $1,500,000. On December 1, 2003, after Palisades had funded $240,000 of the original Debentures, the Company entered into additional Class A Secured Convertible Debentures with two additional investors, pursuant to which such investors would loan the Company up to $650,000 each, and the Company agreed that Palisades would not make additional advances under the Debentures. At December 31, 2005, the Company has received a total of $1,125,000 under the Debentures.
Under the Debentures, each holder has the option to convert the principal amount of all monies loaned under the Debentures, together with accrued interest, into common stock of the Company at the lesser of (i) 50% of the average ten closing prices for the Company’s common stock for the ten days immediately preceding the conversion date or (ii) $0.10 (the lesser of the two being referred to as the “Conversion Price.”) In addition, the Debentures provide that in the event the conversion price is less than $0.10 per share when the holder elects to convert, the Company would have the right, at any time during the 75 days following the date of the holder’s notice of conversion, to prepay all or a portion of the Debentures that have been requested to be converted and the Company would therefore not be required to issue the conversion shares.
Since the Debentures allow the holders to convert the outstanding principal amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount to fair value, the Company recorded the fair value of the conversion feature of $1,125,000 in 2004. The amount was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized as interest expense over the life of the Debentures. Total interest expense related to the amortization of the discount was $399,420 and $326,161 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There was no change in the fair value of the conversion feature (included in derivative liabilities) during 2005 and 2004.
The Company’s president entered into a voting agreement and irrevocable proxy, which provides that as of September 23, 2006, if an event of default (as defined in the Debentures) continues for a period of not less than 30 days, all Class B common stock which Mr. Bernstein owns of record, or becomes the owner of record in the future will be voted in accordance with the direction of a third party named in the Debentures (an affiliate of Palisades) or his designated successor. This loss of Mr. Bernstein’s voting rights would affect a change in the voting control of the Company.
NOTE 9 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, continued
The Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 10%, are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and mature on September 23, 2006, when all principal and accrued interest becomes payable. Advances to the Company totaled $0 and $785,000 during the years ended December 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The balance of the Debentures, including accrued interest, at December 31, 2005 was $951,043 (net of unamortized discount of $399,420). Interest expense on the Debentures, excluding amortization of the discount, was $127,010 and $93,119 during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
GGI
To obtain funding for ongoing operations, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) and various amendments to the SPA with Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (“GGI”) on December 16, 2005 for the sale of (i) $40,000 in unsecured convertible debentures (the “Notes”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Notes bear interest at 5.25% per annum, mature three years from the date of issuance and are convertible into the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the dollar amount of the Notes being converted multiplied by 110, less the product of the conversion formula multiplied by 100 times the dollar amount of the Notes being converted, which is divided by the conversion formula. The conversion formula is the lesser of (i) $0.70, (ii) eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty trading days prior to the conversion or (iii) eighty percent of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the conversion. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into which the Notes may be converted. The Company has agreed to register the shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the related warrants.
Beginning in the first full calendar month after the registration statement is declared effective, GGI has agreed to convert at least 5%, but no more than 10% of the face value of the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. If GGI converts more than 5% of the Notes in any calendar month, the excess over 5% shall be credited against the subsequent month’s minimum conversion amount. If GGI fails to convert at least 5% of the face amount of the Notes in any given calendar month, GGI will not be entitled to collect interest on the Notes for that month. If the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock is below $0.20, the Company shall have the right to prepay that portion of the Notes that GGI is required to convert, plus any accrued but unpaid interest at 130% of such amount. If at any time during the calendar month, the volume weighted average price is below $0.10, GGI shall not be obligated to convert any portion of the Notes during that month.
Beginning in the first full month after the registration statement is declared effective, GGI has agreed to exercise at least 5%, but no more than 10%, of the warrants per calendar month at an exercise price of $1.09 per share. If GGI exercises more than 5% of warrants in any calendar month, the excess over 5% shall be credited against the subsequent month’s minimum exercise amount. If GGI fails to exercise at least 5% of the warrants in any given calendar month, GGI will not be entitled to collect interest on the Notes for that month. The warrants are exercisable through the maturity date of December 16, 2008.
NOTE 9 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, continued
At any time prior to the registration statement being declared effective, GGI may demand repayment of 130% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in cash within 10 days of such demand. Additionally, the Company will be required to issue and pay to GGI 50,000 shares of common stock and $15,000 in cash for each 30-day period, or portion thereof, that the Registration Statement is not effective. The cash payment increases to $20,000 for each 30-day period, or portion thereof, after the first 90-day period.
The full principal amount of the Notes is due upon a default under the terms of the agreement. The Company plans to file a registration statement within 60 days of closing, which will include the common stock underlying the Notes and the warrants. If the registration statement is not declared effective within 120 days from the date of filing, the Company will be required to pay a penalty to GGI (see above). In the event the Company breaches any representation or warranty in the SPA, the Company is required to pay in cash, 130% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
For a period of one year after the effective date of the SPA, GGI has agreed to restrict their ability to convert their Notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
The Notes include certain features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments, such as the conversion feature, events of default and a variable liquidated damages clause. These features are described below, as follows:
NOTE 9 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, continued
In conjunction with the Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock. The accounting treatment of the derivatives and warrants requires that the Company record the warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement, which totaled $326,600.
The initial fair value assigned to the embedded derivatives and warrants was $5,957,188. The Company recorded the first $40,000 of fair value of the derivatives and warrants to debt discount (equal to the total proceeds received as of December 31, 2005), which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. No amortization was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005. The remaining balance of $5,917,188 was recorded as interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The market price of the Company’s common stock significantly impacts the extent to which the Company may be required or may be permitted to convert the unrestricted and restricted portions of the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. The lower the market price of the Company’s common stock at the respective times of conversion, the more shares the Company will need to issue to convert the principal and interest payments then due on the Notes. If the market price of the Company’s common stock falls below certain thresholds, the Company will be unable to convert any such repayments of principal and interest into equity, and the Company will be forced to make such repayments in cash. The Company’s operations could be materially adversely impacted if the Company is forced to make repeated cash payments on the Notes.
Future minimum principal payments are as follows under the Debentures and Notes for the years ending December 31:

NOTE 10 INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of the following for the years ended December 31:
2005 | 2004 | |
Current: | ||
Federal | $ - | $ - |
State | 800 | 800 |
800 | 800 | |

- | - | |
$ 800 | $ 800 | |
=========== | =========== |
Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effects of temporary differences in the reporting of income for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes and arise principally from net operating loss carryforwards and unrealized and “other than temporary” losses on marketable securities.
The components of the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:
Deferred tax asset | $ 24,249,000 |
Less valuation allowance | (24,249,000) |
$ - | |
=========== |
The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal and state statutory rates due to warrant and derivative deductions not being deductible for income tax purposes and the valuation allowance recorded for the deferred tax asset due to unused net operating loss carryforwards. An allowance has been provided for by the Company which reduced the tax benefits accrued by the Company for its net operating losses to zero, as it cannot be determined when, or if, the tax benefits derived from these operating losses will materialize.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $47,000,000 for federal and state purposes which expire in various years through 2025 and 2019 for federal and California purposes, respectively. The Company’s use of its net operating losses may be restricted in future years due to the limitations pursuant to IRC Section 382 on changes in ownership.
NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Royalties
On December 24, 1985, to provide funding for research and development of the Fatigue Fuse, the Company entered into various agreements with the Tensiodyne 1985-I R & D Partnership (the “Partnership.”) These agreements were amended on October 9, 1989, and under the revised terms, obligated the Company to pay the Partnership a royalty of 10% of future gross sales. The Company's obligation to the Partnership is limited to the capital contributed to it by its partners of approximately $912,500 plus accrued interest.
On August 30, 1986, the Company entered into a funding agreement with the Advanced Technology Center (“ATC”), whereby ATC paid $45,000 to the Company for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicense revenue. The royalty is limited to the $45,000 plus an 11% annual rate of return. At December 31, 2005, the future royalty commitment is approximately $344,000. The payment of future royalties is secured by equipment used by the Company in the development of technology as specified in the funding agreement.
On May 4, 1987, the Company entered into another funding agreement with ATC, whereby ATC provided $63,775 to the Company for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicense revenues. The agreement was amended August 28, 1987, and as amended, the royalty cannot exceed the lesser of (1) the amount of the advance plus a 26% annual rate of return or, (2) total royalties earned for a term of 17 years. At December 31, 2005, the total future royalty commitments, including the accumulated 26% annual rate of return, were approximately $6,142,000. If the Company defaults on the agreement, then the obligation relating to this agreement becomes secured by the Company's patents, products, and accounts receivable that are related to the technology developed with the funding.
In 1994, the Company issued to Variety Investments, Ltd. of Vancouver, Canada ("Variety") a 22.5% royalty interest on the Fatigue Fuse in consideration for the cash advances made to the Company by Variety. In December 1996, in exchange for the Company issuing 250 shares of its common stock to Variety, Variety reduced its royalty interest to 20%. In 1998, in exchange for the Company issuing 733 shares of its common stock to Variety, Variety reduced its royalty interest to 5%.
As discussed in Note 8, the Company granted a 1% royalty interest in the Company's Fatigue Fuse and a 0.5% royalty interest in EFS to a shareholder as partial consideration on a $25,000 loan made by the shareholder to the Company.
NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued

** The Company granted 12% royalties on sales from sublicense. These royalties are also limited to specific rates of return as discussed above.
Through December 31, 2005, the Company owes no royalties under any agreements, as sales of the products have not yet begun.
Operating Leases
The Company leases its existing office on a month-to-month basis. Rental expense charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $28,176 and $28,171, respectively, which consisted solely of minimum rental payments.
Litigation
In July 2002, the Company settled its pending lawsuit related to a contract dispute with Mr. Stephen Beck. Mr. Beck has recently contacted the Company concerning an alleged breach of the above settlement. No lawsuit has been filed and negotiations regarding these matters are ongoing.
The Company has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit alleging breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to pay certain amounts due to a consultant for services. The Company asserts that the contract was unenforceable due to a number of factors. The lawsuit is in the early stages and no discovery has yet occurred. Legal counsel has advised the Company that it is premature to estimate the outcome or the range of damages that may occur if the case is not settled in the Company’s favor.
NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, continued
In the ordinary course of business, The Company may be from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Indemnities and Guarantees
During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include certain agreements with the Company’s officers under which the Company may be required to indemnify such person for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. They also include indemnities made to the holders of the convertible debentures and the sellers of investments in securities. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company would be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations and no liability has been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
NOTE 12 STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Class A Preferred Stock
The holders of the Class A convertible preferred stock have a liquidation preference of $720 per share. Such amounts shall be paid on all outstanding Class A preferred shares before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the common stock or any other stock of any other series or class ranking junior to the shares as to dividends or assets.
These shares are convertible to shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $0.72 ("initial conversion price") per share of Class A preferred stock that will be adjusted depending upon the occurrence of certain events. The holders of these preferred shares shall have the right to vote and cast that number of votes which the holder would have been entitled to cast had such holder converted the shares immediately prior to the record date for such vote. The holders of these shares shall participate in all dividends declared and paid with respect to the common stock to the same extent had such holder converted the shares immediately prior to the record date for such dividend.
NOTE 12 STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT, continued
Class B Preferred Stock

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, provide to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of such director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated, is to eliminate our rights and our shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Our By Laws also provide that the Board of Directors may also authorize us to indemnify our employees or agents, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to our directors and officers. As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Board of Directors has not extended indemnification rights to persons other than directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (“Golden Gate”) on December 16, 2005, as amended by that certain Addendum to Convertible Debenture, Warrant to Purchase Common Stock and Securities Purchase Agreement, and that certain Addendum to Convertible Debenture and Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, each dated as of December 16, 2005, for the sale of (i) $40,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to buy 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. This prospectus relates to the resale of the common stock underlying these convertible debentures and warrants. The investors provided us with an aggregate of $40,000 upon the execution of final definitive agreements.
The debentures bear interest at 5¼%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholder’s option. The convertible debentures are convertible into the number of our shares of common stock equal to the dollar amount of the debentures being converted multiplied by 110, less the product of the conversion formula multiplied by 100 times the dollar amount of the debenture being converted, which is divided by the conversion formula. The conversion formula for the convertible debentures is the lesser of (i) $0.70, (ii) eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion or (iii) eighty percent of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the conversion. Accordingly, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into which the debenture may be converted. Golden Gate has agreed that, beginning in the first full calendar month after the registration statement is declared effective, it shall convert at least 5%, but no more than 10%, of the debentures per calendar month, provided that the common stock is available, registered and freely tradable; provided that, if, at any time during the applicable month, the volume weighted average price is below $.10, Golden Gate is not obligated to convert any portion of the debenture during that month. However, in the event that our volume weighted average price is less than $.20, we will have the option to prepay the debenture at 130% rather than have the debenture converted. If we elect to prepay the debenture, Golden Gate may withdraw its conversion notice. In addition, the selling stockholder is obligated to exercise no less than 5%, and no more than 10%, of the outstanding warrant beginning in the first full month after the Securities and Exchange Commission declares this prospectus effective; provided that, if, at any time during the applicable month, the volume weighted average price is below $.10, Golden Gate is not obligated to exercise any portion of the warrant during that month. The warrant is exercisable into 4,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.09 per share.

(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement, and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
48
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
