PART I


ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.


General Lines of Business


Since its inception in November 1996, VLYF has positioned itself to develop and acquire advanced technologies.  Between 1996 and approximately 2003, the Company won numerous contracts to produce various mechanical devices for special aerospace projects.  Historically, all of the Company’s revenues have been derived from such projects, and this continues to be true through the filing date of this Form 10-K.


Since September 11, 2001 the Company has focused much of its energy on the development and commercialization of its counter-terrorism products.  Such products include an advanced detection capability for illicit narcotics, explosives, and bio-chemical weapons hidden in cargo containers, the THOR LVX photonuclear detection system (“THOR”).  The Company also has a distributor agreement to sell a passenger weapons scanning device, the ODIN-ULDRIS (Ultra-Low Dose Resonance Imaging System), and has contributed to the commercial development and testing of ODIN.


VLYF is also actively engaged in the electronic components business.  We manufacture prototype mechanical and electronic devices to customer specifications.  The Company has been engaged in this business in excess of eight years.  Our recent manufacturing activities have involved the development of bearings and star cameras for aerospace applications.  Although this is an established business segment, the Company’s primary focus remains with the development of counter-terrorism products.


THOR


At present, and for the last six years, the Company has focused on the acquisition of the rights to manufacture and distribute THOR in the United States and to certain other countries and to develop THOR.  THOR is based on a high energy miniature particle accelerator.  THOR creates photo nuclear reactions in carbon and nitrogen isotopes present in modern explosive devices as well as in oxygen present in narcotics.  The reactions follow a predictable determined pattern or chemical signature that can



3




be used to identify the substance.  THOR can also be enhanced with a fast neutron detector in order to detect fissile material.


To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no existing device can effectively screen for explosives, drugs, micro organisms and nuclear materials, such as plutonium and weapons grade uranium. The Company’s partners for the development of next generation Explosives Detection Systems (“EDS”) are the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (“LLNL”), which has been designated the “Center of Excellence” for EDS technologies, and the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute (“LPI”), the premiere physics laboratory in the Russian Federation, which has developed THOR, a device that clearly exceeds current requirements for screening of explosives and is the only system of its kind.


Because of its small size and demonstrated effectiveness at detecting explosive, narcotic and bio weapon substances concealed in attempted concealment barriers, the THOR technology can be applied in many security contexts including the external scanning of an entire cargo container or truck container, and can be outfitted to scan airport bags, land mines, and for protection of high value targets.  The data produced can be instantly transmitted to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other agencies for accurate threat detection, assessment, and knowledge dissemination.

 

Technology Protection


The Company holds the exclusive worldwide rights to THOR until 2014, but not the rights to manufacture or sell THOR in the former Soviet Union.  The Company has an option to indefinitely extend its rights to THOR.  The Company estimates that is has at least five year’s advantage over any competition who may attempt to build and bring to market a particle accelerator of similar size and function.  This is because THOR has ten years of research and development behind its prototype.  Each THOR unit is estimated to have an operational life of ten years.  Thus, once THOR is introduced to the market and implemented in the field, the Company believes that THOR owners for several years are more likely than not to not purchase a competitive product.  In the meantime, the Company will be taking steps to improve THOR and to customize it for new applications.


Research and Development


The Company was previously awarded a $1.8 million grant from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for continued research, design, and production of the first THOR unit.  The grant funds were allocated to the LLNL and have been reflected in the Company's financial statements as research and development costs.  The Company has contributed research and development expenses to facilitate the commercialization of THOR.  These expenses are set forth in the Company’s financial statements in this Form 10-K.


The technology used to manufacture the THOR units is made possible through an exclusive rights agreement with the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.  Production equipment for initial accelerator detector complex (ADC) units, the heart of our detection systems, is in place and operational, and a prototype unit has been designed.


The THOR technology is still under review by the LLNL, but the project completion awaits only the receipt from LPI of final payment of grant funding and LPI’s release to LLNL of its final progress report.  Since THOR represents a new technology, there are no available standards by which to evaluate its safe operation.  Meanwhile, the Company has been working to create such standards for DOE’s use, but there is no set timetable when such standards may be enacted.  The Company will need DOE approval of THOR’s compliance with the newly written standards and possibly Transportation Safety Administration approval before THOR can be commercially developed for use at airports in the United States of



4




America.  However, such approvals are not required for the Company to build and sell THOR units to other U.S. customers abroad or foreign buyers, but U.S. Department of State approval will be required to sell a unit to a foreign buyer.


Delay in Development


Projected completion of THOR has been delayed a total of more than two years due to factors beyond our control.  As the U.S. commercial development partner in the agreement between LLNL and LPI, we are subject to delays caused by unforeseeable bureaucratic events in two countries, and we are usually the last to receive notice of delays.  Cumulative delays have been a function of LLNL’s failure to pay timely LPI for its work progress, resulting in work stoppage by LPI.  We learned recently that LLNL had failed to pay LPI for a period of over one year due to an internal reorganization at LLNL.  Final payment to LPI is currently delayed due to governmental issues internal to the Russian Federation, but such issues are anticipated to be soon resolved.


Raw Material Sources and Availability


THOR materials and parts can be manufactured to the Company’s specifications on an as needed basis from a variety of sources in the United States of America.  Accordingly, the Company does not expect to encounter problems in acquiring the commercial quantities of components required to build THOR.

 

Homeland Security


The Company expects that design and manufacture of homeland security and anti-terrorism systems will grow to become the major component of the Company’s business over the next five years as the U. S. Department of Homeland Security and the United States Military launch and ramp up efforts to protect ports, rail, truck, and airline cargo, high value assets, and ships from terrorists.  The THOR technology is designed to detect all typical chemical, nuclear, and bio weapon threats to these strategic interests.


The THOR Market


Each year more than 16 million cargo containers arrive in the United States by ship, truck, and rail with no effective EDS machines currently available to inspect them. Demand for accurate inspection units is increasing monthly.  Ensuring the security of the maritime trade system is essential, given that approximately 90 percent of the world's cargo moves by container.  The United States Government will increase technology spending 8.5% through FY08.  That is $68.2 billion in five years, up from $45.5 billion.  Most important, the Administration's funding priorities dovetail well with the critical mission areas established in the national homeland security strategy.

 

The likely market for THOR includes:

·  Ports, cargo hubs, and rail yards

·  World-wide express cargo facilities

·  United States postal facilities

·  United States border crossings

·  United States military field applications

·  World-wide markets; and

·  Technology licensing opportunities.

Major Customer Dependency and Competition


The Company’s successful production and sales of THOR will initially depend to a great extent on the United States Government’s interest in THOR.  The Company will seek other buyers worldwide both to increase market share and to reduce its dependence on the United States Government and of any branch or agency of the United States Government.  The Company believes that it will have a competitive advantage over every known product available on the market today.  The Company’s THOR is more powerful than any known competitor’s products, is portable, and is less expensive to operate.  There is no way to estimate customer dependency at this time.


Traditional detection systems are based on X-rays of various energy levels, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Quadropole Magnetic Resonance (QMR).  However, it has been determined that X-rays lack sufficient strength to penetrate all barriers and are often absorbed or deflected before they can properly penetrate a container.  Utilizing high-energy gamma rays overcomes this problem and as a result the Company’s device can penetrate any container.  To generate these high-energy gamma rays, a particle accelerator is required.


Typical high energy particle accelerators are generally the size of a warehouse.  Russian scientists, through decades of dedicated research, have developed a miniature particle accelerator the size of a small table top.  The special performance of this machine cannot be stressed enough.  It takes focused energy to penetrate 8 feet through a cargo container and to return a discernable signal.  To the Company’s knowledge, only the Company’s EDS system can generate the necessary power levels and generate the necessary return signals to accurately determine the amount and composition of explosives, drugs or other illicit material.  Rather than using weak X-ray sources or low level gamma energies created by radioactive isotopes, the Company utilizes its miniature particle accelerator to create high energy gamma rays capable of penetrating any barrier and detecting explosives, unlike any other available device.  As a comparison, typical EDS machines operate at 0.5 to 1.5 million electron volts (MeV). The Company’s THOR generates 55 MeV.

 

Equally important, the Company’s device, via photo-nuclear reactions, can also determine the exact chemical nature and quantity of any explosives within the sealed container.  The system accurately penetrates concealment media and performs to 99.6% accuracy.

 

THOR can be fully automated including the scanning and analysis of the nature and volume of explosive materials, devices or their components, meaning that no human operator is required, and it can be operated from a remote location.  This reduces the operation costs of THOR compared to any other product.  Also, THOR’s energy consumption is approximately 30 kilowatts vs. 50 kilowatts consumed by other detection systems.

 

Distribution of THOR


The Company intends to sell THOR through direct sales means in the United States, Canada, and Europe.  The Company anticipates that it will sell THOR units through unaffiliated dealers in the Middle East and Far East.  The Company does not have any written distribution agreements.


Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations


There is no effect on the Company's potential sales arising from government regulations, and the Company does not anticipate any change to this in the future.

Research and Development Cost Estimate


The Company estimates that during 2008, 2007, and 2006 it incurred $0, $0, and $600,000, respectively, on research and development activities.


Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws


The Company has incurred no costs nor suffered any effects to maintain compliance with any environmental laws.


Environmental Impact


Food and other objects scanned with the THOR prototype have returned to below background radiation levels within approximately fifteen minutes.  No long term effects were evidenced.

 

ODIN-ULDRIS


ODIN-ULDRIS is a Russian technology that is used as the airport passenger weapons scanning system in several airports in Russia.  The Company believes the technology is more accurate than any system in use in the United States (articles hidden inside or on the backside of a passenger are detected in a single scan with near medical quality imaging), is faster (each passenger is scanned in five seconds), and is less inconvenient (passengers do not need to remove clothing or shoes).  Between approximately April 2007 and February 2008, the Company developed a prototype of ODIN for employment at U.S. airports and passenger terminals.  In February 2008 ODIN passed independent radiation examination by the Radiation Safety Academy and is certified as ANSI/NIST compliant.  Compliance with ANSI/NIST standards means that ODIN is classified as “uncontrolled” and can be sold domestically and internationally without additional TSA or Department of Energy permission.  All results for operator, cabinet leakage, bystander exposure, and person being examined were well below U.S. Government guidelines and standards.


Raw Material Sources and Availability


Most ODIN materials and parts are available on an as needed basis from a variety of sources in the United States of America and Western Europe Accordingly, the Company does not expect to encounter problems in acquiring the commercial quantities of components required to maintain ODIN.


The ODIN Market


Because ODIN has both anti-terrorism and anti-crime applications, the potential ODIN market extends to include potentially every civilian application where quick, accurate, full-body non-intrusive personnel scanning is necessary.  Applications could include use at schools, government offices, sports complexes, passenger cruise liners, airports, rail and bus terminals, corporate offices, and any number of other circumstances where security screening is important.  However, a single ODIN unit requires ample floor and ceiling space and can be utilized only in suitable locations.  ODIN units are competitively priced but are not inexpensive and therefore are suitable primarily for institutional and large enterprise applications.


Major Customer Dependency and Competition


The Company believes that the ODIN is the best available personnel screening device.  ODIN is more accurate and more efficient than any known competitor’s product.  However, the Company has not made



7




its first sale; so there is no way to estimate customer dependency at this time.  Also we compete with many established systems for which the owners may not be willing or may be unable to justify incurring the significant per unit expense to replace their existing screening technology.  Further, our competition is often from large or well-financed domestic manufacturers able to spend large amounts of funds on advertising, and having established sales forces with existing clientele.  Therefore, we expect to have significant domestic competition.  We have, however, focused our marketing efforts abroad where domestic U.S. manufacturers are not as well accepted and where European manufactured systems such as ODIN may have easier acceptance.


We do have competition internationally.  ODIN is manufactured in Russia.  A Chinese company is licensed by the manufacturer to sell a version of ODIN in China.  We do not believe that the Chinese company represents a competitive threat because we do not anticipate marketing ODIN in the Russian Federation or China.  The ODIN manufacturer is a potential threat to our international sales because it has competed with us directly.  However, potential international buyers have indicated to us that they prefer to buy from an American company; we offer better technical support and a warranty, and our prototype unit is a better product overall than the version marketed by the manufacturer.  


Distribution of ODIN


The Company intends to sell ODIN through direct sales means in Eurasia and India, but sales are anticipated to be made through unaffiliated dealers in the Middle East.  The Company’s three-year  reseller agreement with Advanced Technology Development, Inc. (“ATD”), dated April 30, 2007, which granted the Company a three-year exclusive license to sell ODIN in the United States, Canada, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, Morocco, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Lebanon, Oman, and Egypt, was terminated by ATD in January 2009. However, after the reporting period, on February 1, 2009, the Company entered into an exclusive three-year distribution agreement with a company in Saudi Arabia.


Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations


There is no effect on the Company's potential sales arising from government regulations, and the Company does not anticipate any change to this in the future.


Research and Development Cost Estimate


The Company estimates that during 2008 it incurred $226,769 on research and development activities.


Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws


The Company has incurred no costs nor suffered any effects to maintain compliance with any environmental laws.


Environmental Impact


No environmental impact has been identified.


Employees


The Company has four employees, of which two are executive managers; one is an administrator, and



8




one is a salesman.  Louis J. Brothers is the Company’s only full-time managerial employee.  Larry K. Wilhide, an officer and a director, is a part-time employee.  Rosemary A. Brothers, the wife of Louis J. Brothers, is currently the Company’s only administrative employee. The Company has a fourth home-based employee who concentrates on sales of products.


Former Shell Company

 

During fiscal year 2006, Quetzal Capital 1, Inc. (“Quetzal”), a shell company domiciled in Florida, executed a share exchange agreement with the shareholders of Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, whereby the shareholders of the Pennsylvania corporation took control of Quetzal, and the Pennsylvania corporation became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quetzal.  The share exchange transaction occurred on July 6, 2006.  Quetzal’s common stock was registered pursuant to section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, on or about August 1, 2005.


As a result of the share exchange, Quetzal’s status as a shell corporation ceased, and the consolidated company’s business was that of the Pennsylvania subsidiary.  Simultaneously with the share exchange, the sole director of Quetzal resigned, and the Pennsylvania corporation’s management assumed control of Quetzal. Also on July 6, 2006, Quetzal changed its name to Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation.  (Hereafter, in this Form 10-K, the consolidated operations of the parent and subsidiary will be referred to as the “Company” or “VLYF”).  The Company has not materially reclassified, merged, consolidated, purchased or sold any significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business, and the Company has not been the subject of any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.



Risks Relating to an Investment in the Company


Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.  Investors should carefully consider the possibility that he or she may lose his or her entire investment.  Given this possibility, we encourage investors to evaluate the following risk factors and all other information contained in this report and its attachments factors, in addition to other publicly available information in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), before engaging in transactions in our securities.  Any of the following risks, alone or together, could adversely affect our business, our financial condition, or the results of our operations, and therefore the value of your Company securities.


·  

Because the Company had a net loss from operations of $1,643,502 and $1,998,412 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, we face a risk of insolvency.

·  

The Company has never earned substantial operating revenue. We have been dependent on equity financing to pay operating costs and to cover operating losses.

·  

Because we have no significant sales history and are substantially dependent on a major contractor to generate future sales, our future is uncertain if our relationship with that major contractor fails.

·  

The auditors’ reports for our December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 financial statements include additional paragraphs that identify conditions which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which means that we may not be able to continue operations unless we obtain additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

·  

The Company had no sales revenues in 2005 and 2007.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business


There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern due to insufficient revenues to cover our operating costs.

 

Our independent auditors included a going concern paragraph in their reports issued in connection with their audits of our December 31, 2008, December 31, 2007 and 2006 financial statements.  The auditors noted in their reports that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations.  The Company had accumulated deficits of $6,267,598 and $4,418,843 as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.  The Company had working capital of $148,258 and $201,225 at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, largely due to proceeds received from a private offering of its securities.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 


We incurred a net loss for the year end results for December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.  To the extent that we do not generate revenue from the sale of THOR or ODIN units, then the Company may not have the ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements which accompany this report do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


We are dependent on agencies of the U.S. Government and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to timely fund the development of our THOR technology. We are also dependent on the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute to release the THOR prototype unit in their possession. This has resulted in significant delay in the introduction of the THOR technology to the marketplace. Delays beyond our control have also negatively impacted our ability to project when the THOR project will be completed.


The centerpiece of our homeland security technology product line is THOR. We believed in 2006 that necessary federal government testing and approvals would be completed before year end 2006.  Our projections were optimistic, but we perceived no reason for delay in obtaining approvals.  In hindsight, we were naïve, because the government review process is entirely out of our control.  


The federal government’s approval process for THOR depends on the Livermore Lab’s timely payment to LPI to complete research reports.  We have learned that LPI has stopped work on more than one occasion due to the failure of the Livermore Lab to pay them.  However, we are not privy to when payments are made or when a work stoppage has occurred in Russia. At present, we understand that LPI is owed a mere $20,000 from the original $1.8 million in grant money allocated for the THOR project.  We have not been assured when the final payment will be made.


Completion of THOR depends on the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory releasing funds on a timely basis to the Russian counter-part of the development team, LPI. Once the final research report is released by LPI to the Livermore Lab, we expect that the Livermore Lab will conclude the THOR project. Approval by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is anticipated, but cannot be guaranteed, to follow immediately thereafter.


Our inability to know when a delay in research or payment has occurred or is occurring has hindered our ability to predict with accuracy when the project will be completed.  On more than one occasion we have received incorrect information and have believed that payments were being made automatically only to learn months later that LPI had stopped work for non-payment.  Thus, investors should be concerned that until the completion of the THOR project has been announced they cannot rely entirely on management’s information about when the project should be completed.






10




The reason that Livermore Lab and not the Department of Homeland Security is the primary approving authority in the United States is because the gamma ray technology used in THOR is regulated primarily by the Department of Energy of which the Livermore Lab is a part. Once the Department of Energy concludes the THOR project, we anticipate that the Department of Homeland Security will authorize THOR for sale to institutions that it closely regulates, such as airports, ports, and border crossings.


The sales and production of our ODIN personnel screening technology are dependent on the approvals of foreign governments, which are out of our control.


The Company’s prototype personnel screening device is being marketed for sale in foreign countries, particularly in the Middle East, Asia Minor, and India.  Obtaining the permission of foreign governments has been challenging and slow.  Certain countries in the Middle East prohibit non-Muslims from doing business directly with their governments, and we are required to negotiate with government-authorized middle men. This adds an additional layer of bureaucracy that we must penetrate in order to sell our products. Middle men also will resell ODIN units at a price higher than we would charge for direct sales, making ODIN less competitive on a price basis to other screening products.


Due to personal privacy concerns, in its current version, ODIN will not be saleable in the United States and perhaps other countries.


Although we believe ODIN to be a best of breed technology, and having passed United States radiation safety tests, personal privacy issues prevent us from selling the current prototype ODIN in the United States and perhaps other countries. This is because the prototype ODIN provides a near medical quality image that reveals the contours of the person being scanned.  Without software modification, ODIN will not be saleable in the United States and perhaps other countries that share its citizens’ personal privacy concerns.  At this time, we have no intention of modifying the current prototype ODIN to meet personal privacy concerns, although we may do so in the future.


Delays in the introduction of THOR and ODIN may have significantly impacted our ability to compete for market share for these technologies.


Because we have not sold any THOR or ODIN units, other vendors of less sophisticated but competing screening technologies may be selling their products and limiting our potential market share. Due to budgetary concerns or other factors, such customers may not be interested in purchasing THOR or ODIN units when they become available until their existing units are retired. This will hurt our ability to penetrate the screening technology market when we are ready to do so.  


Because we do not have an exclusive license to develop or market or distribute ODIN, we compete against the manufacturer and possibly other competitors who may have ODIN units and may be redeveloping them for commercial use.


The manufacturer of ODIN is in Russia. To our knowledge, no other person or entity outside of Russia or China possesses an ODIN unit or possesses an exclusive license to develop or distribute ODIN in any geographic region other than the Russian Federation or China. Nevertheless, it is possible that potential competitors could acquire and develop an ODIN unit and compete against us. We have encountered one instance where the ODIN manufacturer directly competed with us for an ODIN purchase and sale contract.

.


We expect to experience significant growth in the future and may not be able to adapt our management and operational systems to adequately handle the potential demand for the THOR system without unanticipated significant disruption or expense.


We anticipate a very positive reception from potential customers to the introduction of our THOR units into the security marketplace.  It is possible that the demand for our product will outpace our ability to meet timely the market demand.  Since we currently have a few full time employees, our management and labor capacity could experience a disruption in our ability to service our customer demands, and we may not be able to resolve this situation without significant disruption or expense.  This in turn could negatively impact our image and the value of our common stock.


We are dependent on key personnel, specifically Louis J. Brothers and Larry K. Wilhide, and have no employment agreements with them.


We are a small company with a few employees and are dependent on the services of Louis J. Brothers, our president, and Larry K. Wilhide, our vice-president.  Messrs. Brothers and Wilhide are equal shareholders and their combined voting rights are equal to 75.6% of our outstanding common stock.  We do not have employment agreements with them, and losing either of their services would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct business.  Messrs. Brothers and Wilhide serve as Officers and Directors of the Company.  Messrs. Brothers and Wilhide are our founders.  Both men have contributed to the survival and growth of the Company for eleven years.  Mr. Brothers’ government and scientific contacts are essential to the Company’s ability to diversify its product line, including our ability to license, develop, and market future additional products unrelated to the THOR technology.  Mr. Wilhide’s engineering and drafting capabilities are essential to our ability to manufacture the technology that we license.  Therefore, there is a risk that if either Mr. Brothers or Mr. Wilhide left the Company, there is no guarantee that we could survive.


We cannot predict our future capital needs and may not be able to secure additional funding.


We may need to raise additional funds within the next twelve months in order to fund our installation of manufacturing facilities and dealer network.  We expect that the majority of these funds will come from the sale of our common shares to public or private investors, which could result in a significant dilution of ownership interests by the holders of our common stock.  Also, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the funding we deem necessary to sustain our operations.


Failure on our part to anticipate, identify, and respond effectively to changing marketplace demands for the THOR technology may open doors for competitors to manufacture a similar technology or to manufacture peripheral items used to implement the THOR in various situations. 


If we are unable to obtain raw materials, or find manufacturing facilities, or respond to our customers’ intended uses for their THOR units, our financial condition may be harmed.  Presently, we do not own any manufacturing facilities and are searching for suitable sites.  The materials used to build THOR units could become scarce as supply issues may develop from time to time.  We do not have long term contracts with any suppliers, and even if we did, there is no guarantee that any particular supplier would not have its own supply or financial difficulties making it hard for them to perform their contracts.  Similarly, our customers’ intended applications for their THOR units may require the manufacture and delivery of peripheral items that we are unable to produce or deliver timely.  Any of these situations could be detrimental to our overall business and could encourage competitors to attempt to service our customer base and reduce our market share.  Any of these situations could negatively impact our stock price.



12




Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain key employees in order to support our existing business and future expansion.


We are actively recruiting qualified candidates to fill key executive positions within the Company.  There is substantial competition for experienced personnel, which we expect to continue.  We will compete for experienced personnel with companies who have substantially greater financial resources than we do.  If we fail to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel, it could harm our business and limit our ability to be successful.


If we are not able to successfully protect our intellectual property, our ability to capitalize on the value of the THOR technology may be impaired.


Even though we believe that there is no competitor currently close to being able to introduce a security technology with the portability and accuracy of the THOR technology, it is certain that imitators will appear who may create adaptive technologies that achieve similar results to THOR.  We have tried to minimize the deconstruction and adaptation of the THOR technology by potential competitors by deliberately not patenting the core technology because we do not want to make a public record available that will allow anyone to easily see our methods.  However, it is certain that new technologies will appear in the marketplace eventually, and we cannot know for certain how long our lead time will be over potential competition.  If we are not successful at protecting our intellectual property, our ability to capitalize on the value of the THOR technology may be impaired.

 

Our products and technologies may not qualify for protection under the SAFETY Act.

 

Under the “SAFETY Act” provisions of The Homeland Security Act of 2002, the federal government provides liability limitations and the “government contractor” defense applies if the Department of Homeland Security “designates” or “certifies” technologies or products as “qualified anti-terrorism technologies,” and if certain other conditions apply.  We may seek to qualify some or all of our products and technologies under the SAFETY Act’s provisions in order to obtain such liability protections, but there is no guarantee that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will designate or certify our products and technologies as a qualified anti-terrorism technology.  To the extent we sell products not designated as qualified anti-terrorism technology, we will not be entitled to the benefit of the SAFETY Act’s cap on tort liability or U.S. government indemnification.  Any indemnification that the U.S. government may provide may not cover certain potential claims.

 

Risks Related to Investment


We expect the price of our common stock to be volatile. As a result, investors could suffer greater market losses in a down market than they might experience with a more stable stock. Volatility in our stock may also increase the risk of having to defend a securities class action suit, which could be expensive and divert management’s attention from managing our business.

 

The stock markets generally, and the Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) Bulletin Board in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated and disproportionate to the operating performance of a particular company.  These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions or interest rate or international currency fluctuations, may adversely affect the market for the common stock of the company.  In the past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies after periods of volatility in the market price of their securities.  If such a class action suit is brought against the Company, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would hurt business operations.

Our stock value is dependent on our ability to generate net cash flows.


A large portion of any potential return on our common stock will be dependent on our ability to generate net cash flows.  If we cannot operate our business at a net profit, there will be no return on shareholders’ equity, and this could result in a loss of share value.  No assurance can be given that we will be able to operate at a net profit now or in the future.


Our common stock value may decline after the exercise of warrants or from the Company’s future capital raising events.


As of December 31, 2008, there are 2,800,000 Class A warrants, 958,500 Class B warrants, 1,000,000 Class C warrants, and 1,857,146 Class D warrants outstanding that remain unexercised..  It is our belief that warrant holders will begin to exercise their warrants and sell their underlying shares when the Company begins selling its ODIN units or when the Company obtains its final approval and certification from the U.S. Department of State to manufacture and sell the THOR LVX in the United States and abroad, or when the Company receives its first contract to purchase THOR LVX units, or other factors may trigger warrant exercises, provided that the price of our common stock exceeds the strike price on outstanding warrants.  Regardless of the conditions or events that trigger the exercise of the warrants, if a large warrant exercise event occurs, there will certainly be an increase in supply of our common stock available and a corresponding downward pressure on our stock price.  The sales may also make it more difficult for the Company or its investors to sell current securities in the future at a time and price that the Company or its current investors deem acceptable or even to sell such securities at all.  The risk factors discussed in this “Risk Factors” section may significantly affect the market price of our stock.  A low price of our stock may result in many brokerage firms declining to deal in our stock.  Even if a buyer finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and other selling costs may exceed the selling price.  Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of this stock as collateral for loans.  Thus, investors may be unable to sell or otherwise realize the value of their investments in our securities.


We may also enter the capital markets to raise money by selling securities.  The number of shares that could be issued for our immediate capital requirements could lead to a large number of shares being placed on the market which could exert a downward trend on the price per share.  If the supply created by these events exceeds the demand for purchase of the shares the market price for the shares of common stock will decline.


The number of shares to be made available in the registered offering could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to a future decline in the price of our stock.


In our circumstances, the provision of a large number of common shares to be issued upon the exercise of warrants or sold outright by existing shareholders has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock, such as ours.  This would be especially true if the shares being placed into the market exceeds the market’s ability to take up the increased number of shares or if the Company has not performed in such a manner to encourage additional investment in the market place.  Such events could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock.  As a result of the number of shares that could be made available on the market, an opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price.  Persons engaged in short-sales first sell shares that they do not own and, thereafter, purchase shares to cover their previous sales.  To the extent the stock price declines between the time the person sells the shares and subsequently purchases the shares, the person engaging in short-sales will profit from the transaction, and the greater the decline in the stock price the greater the profit to the person engaging in such short-sales.  If there are significant short-sales of our stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause our share price to



14




decline even further, which could cause any existing shareholders of our stock to sell their shares creating additional downward pressure on the price of the shares.  It is not possible to predict how much the share price may decline should a short sale occur.  In the case of some companies that have been subjected to short-sales the stock price has dropped to near zero.  This could happen to our securities.


Our stock may be subject to significant restrictions on resale due to federal penny stock regulations.


Our common stock differs from many stocks because it is a “penny stock.”  The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate penny stocks.  These rules require that a broker or dealer, prior to entering into a transaction with a customer, must furnish certain information related to the penny stock.  The information that must be disclosed includes quotes on the bid and offer, any form of compensation to be received by the broker in connection with the transaction and information related to any cash compensation paid to any person associated with the broker or dealer.


These rules may affect your ability to sell our shares in any market that may develop for our stock.  Should a market for our stock develop among dealers, it may be inactive.  Investors in penny stocks are often unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold it to them.  The mark-ups or commissions charged by broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller can make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold it to them. In some cases, the stock value may fall quickly.  Investors may be unable to gain any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.


Potential investors should be aware that, according to the SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  These patterns include:


·    

control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

·    

manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·    

“boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

·    

excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·    

the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.


Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or Pink Sheet securities.  As a result, investors may not be able to buy or sell our securities at the times they may wish.


Even though our common stock is presently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our investors may not be able to sell securities when and in the manner that they wish.  Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, they are often conducted via telephone.  In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders.  When investors place market orders to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and its execution.



15




Our warrants may not develop a trading market before their time of expiration.


Only our common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market.  We are not aware of any over-the-counter market for our warrants, although a private sale of our warrants has occurred.  Purchasers of a Class A or Class B warrant may not be able to resell the warrant before it expires.  The six-month lifetime of our Class B warrants has been extended by the Company to April 4, 2009, and Class A warrants have a lifetime of two (2) years from May 13, 2010, the date that the Form SB-2 registration statement in which they were registered was declared effective by the SEC.  There is no guarantee that the Company will extend the expiration of either the Class A or Class B warrants.  In the event a warrant is acquired by a new purchaser, that purchaser may not be able to resell the warrant, and, if the purchaser does not exercise the warrant before the expiration date then in effect, the purchaser will suffer a complete capital loss of his or her entire investment in the warrant.


If we fail to remain current on the reporting requirements that apply to us, 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.


Companies with securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board.  If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, shares of our common stock could be removed from quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.  As a result of that removal, 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.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.


Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.


ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.


Not Applicable.


ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.


The Company does not own or lease a manufacturing facility for production of THOR.  The Company intends to build at least one assembly facility in the United States.  The Company has located several suitable sites; however, negotiations for a lease and facility construction have ceased pending receipt of required U.S. Government approval.

 

The Company’s projection for the timing of production is dependent on receiving necessary government approvals to commence production, the Company’s ability to build or obtain at least one suitable production facility, and the ability to obtain additional capital if necessary to meet then current production goals.  In the coming months, the Company will sharpen its estimates of its capital requirements based on the quantities of THOR units ordered and will then be able to better project the timing of production.  Initial market demand for THOR will determine the Company’s labor and physical plant requirements.


The Company’s headquarters office operates from leased space.  On September 1, 2006, the Company entered into a lease of 2,985 square feet of office space located at 50 E. River Center



16




Boulevard, Suite 820, Covington, Kentucky.  The space is built without need of alteration.  The minimum annual lease payments are $2,039 for 2007; $18,540 for 2008; $19,080 for 2009, and $19,575 for 2010.  The term of the lease is for five years beginning on the first day of September, 2006 and ending on the last day of August, 2011.  The annual base rent increases every 12 months starting at approximately $40,484 and ending at approximately $53,730.  Under the terms of the lease, additional rent for operating expenses of the building shall also be payable by the Company at a pro rata share deemed to be 0.928%.  These expenses are anticipated to increase at a rate of 3% per year.  Minimum annual lease payments are: $43,387 for 2007; $49,680 for 2008; $51,163 for 2009; $52,695 for 2010; and $35,820 for 2011.  Therefore, the Company’s minimum cumulative lease obligation is $232,745 for the full five year lease period.


On December 1, 2007, the Company entered into a lease of 2,700 square feet of rentable warehouse space located at 1895 Airport Exchange Blvd, Building A, Erlanger, Kentucky.  The space is built without need for alteration.  The purpose of the lease is to enable the Company to house and permit viewings of its ODIN prototype unit.  The term of the lease is for 37 months beginning on the first day of December, 2007 and ending on the last day of December, 2010.  Minimum annual lease payments are: $2,039 for 2007; $18,540 for 2008; $19,080 for 2009, and $19,575 for 2010.


In the opinion of Management, the Company’s property and equipment are adequately insured under its existing liability policy.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.


On March 18, 2008, the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky against National Concept Licensing, Inc., Marvin Moore, Cindy L. Seide, and Richard S. Gold, jointly and severally, seeking the recovery of $105,000 in funds paid to the defendants to produce a television commercial and to obtain suitable time slots for a national television advertising campaign.  The services promised by the defendants were not delivered.  The Company seeks, in addition to the $105,000 paid to the defendants, special or consequential damages, costs, pre-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees, and such other and further relief that the court deems just and proper. The suit is pending.


On August 29, 2008, the Company filed suit in Kenton Circuit Court, Covington, Kentucky, against Randall and Mary Katherine Broadright, two former employees of the Company.  The suit sought injunctive relief for the return of proprietary Company property and the prevention of sale of the defendants’ Company stock and for compensatory damages. The defendants removed the suit to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky and filed a counter-claim against the Company for back pay and damages for the refusal of the Company to release their Company common stock.  The case settled after the reporting period in March 2009.

Registration Statement and Use of Proceeds


On May 14, 2007, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form SB-2 (the “Registration Statement”) which registered for re-sale 1,296,500 units (comprised of one share of common stock and one Class B warrant), 1,296,500 shares of common stock underlying the warrants, 1,296,500 common shares and Class B warrants, respectively, contained in the units, all of which were owned by various investors; 5,000,000 shares of common stock owned by promoters; and 3,000,000 Class A warrants and 3,000,000 shares underlying the Class A warrants, owned by Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc. (“CTCEG”), a Company consultant.  Pertaining to the units registered in the Registration Statement, the unit offering investment agreements contained use of proceeds restrictions.


The Company received $1,296,500 in proceeds between August 2006 and November 2006 from the exempt offering of units.  The unit offering agreements contained use of proceeds restrictions, with a minimum of 80% being mandated for working capital and up to 20% being allowable for salary expense.  The Company used the proceeds during 2006 and 2007 as required by the limitations contained in the unit purchase agreements.  As of December 31, 2008, 338,000 Class B warrants have been exercised netting $507,000 in proceeds to the Company, which were applied with the same 80/20 working capital/salary expense limitation provided in the investor agreements.


Common Stock


On July 20, 2007, the Company's common stock began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "VLYF".


We have 59 shareholders of record.  The Company has one class of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and has 100,000,000 authorized shares.  There were 52,882,016 shares of common stock issued but 51,415,349 shares outstanding at December 31, 2008 due to a cancellation of shares.  The common stock holds voting rights of one vote per share, is entitled to dividends when and if declared out of funds legally available therefor, but has no preemptive rights.  In each of the two most recent fiscal years we did not issue or declare any dividends, and we did not issue any securities under an equity compensation plan.  

During 2008 and 2007, in each quarterly period the high and low price per share transacted on the OTC Bulletin Board of our common stock was:

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


During 2008, 2007, and 2006, we sold securities in various private, unregistered transactions.

21




stock valued at $1.00 per share, or Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc. may apply amounts due toward the cash exercise of its Class A Warrants.  The sale was conducted in a private transaction exempt from registration pursuant to pursuant to Sections 4(2) or 4(6) of the Securities Act.


Other Securities


Our Class A warrants are held by a consultant, CTCEG and two of its former shareholders.  There are 2,800,000 unexercised Class A warrants with each warrant being exercisable for one share of common stock.  One million Class A warrants are exercisable when the market price per share of our common stock reaches $1.00; one million Class A warrants are exercisable when the market price per share of our common stock reaches $1.50, and one million Class A warrants are exercisable when the market price per share of our common stock reaches $2.00.  The Class A warrants expire two years after the registration statement registering these warrants for sale becomes effective, which is May 14, 2009. On February 8, 2008, the Board of Directors extended the consulting and warranty agreement until May 13, 2010. CTCEG is not required to pay cash to exercise in-the-money warrants.  The full text of the Consulting Agreement and the Warrant Agreement that describes the Class A warrants in detail are incorporated by reference as Exhibits (see List of Exhibits).


The Company issued 1,296,500 Class B warrants as part of a unit offering in 2006.  A unit contains one share of restricted common stock and one restricted Class B warrant.  These Class B warrants are exercisable at $1.50 per share and do not contain the cashless exercise rights provided to CTCEG.  The Class B warrants, if not exercised, expire on April 4, 2009 by extension of the contractual expiration date by the Company’s board of directors.  The full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement that describes the Class B warrants in detail is incorporated by reference as an Exhibit (see List of Exhibits).  The units had price protection rights for a period of six (6) months from May 14, 2007, while the common stock contained in the units have price protection rights until May 14, 2008.  The price protection mechanism enabled the holder of the common stock and/or warrant to receive additional shares and/or warrants if during the operative time period the price at which future common stock or warrants are sold is less than the price per unit paid for his or her unit.  The price protection mechanism has not been triggered and has expired.


On September 29, 2008 the Company granted seven-year Series D Warrants to MKM and related parties to purchase 1,857,146 shares of common stock at a price of $0.75 per share.  The sale was conducted in a private transaction exempt from registration pursuant to pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D Rule 506.  

On July 3, 2008, the Company granted to MKM seven-year Series C Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.61.  The sale was conducted in a private transaction exempt from registration pursuant to pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D Rule 506.  


Neither the warrants nor the units have a market at the present time.  The Class A and Class B warrants are freely assignable by the buyers. The Class C, D, and E warrants are restricted securities and are assignable by the buyers in transactions compliant with exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.


The Company may offer additional securities during fiscal year 2008 as our capital requirements dictate or as suitable funding opportunities present themselves.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation (MD&A) contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, or implied, by those forward-looking statements.  You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words may, will, should, could, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, intends, potential, proposed, or continue or the negative of those terms.  These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risk factors outlined below.  These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements.  Although we believe that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.


We believe that the impact of inflation and changing prices on our net sales and revenues and on income from continuing operations has been inconsequential.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, our capital requirements have largely been met through sales of securities. We recorded $132,000 from a sale of a momentum wheel to NASA in May, 2008.  Until we are able to generate significant revenues from our core homeland security-related detection technologies, we anticipate being dependent on sales of securities to finance our ongoing capital requirements. The following liquidity events describe the amounts and sources of our capital resources and describe how we have paid our expenses.


We have incurred losses for the past two fiscal years and had a net loss of $1,848,755 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern.

 

Historically, we have relied on revenues, debt financing and sales of our common stock to satisfy our cash requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2008 we received cash proceeds of $123,400 from revenues, $343,000 from sales of our common stock and $1,260,000 in debt financing.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2007, we received cash proceeds from debt financing of $160,000 and sales of our common stock of $914,000.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2008 we issued 4,459,516 shares. For the year ended December 31, 2007 we issued 659,333 shares for services. Management anticipates that we will continue to issue shares for services in the short term.

 

Management intends to finance our 2009 operations primarily with the revenue from product sales and any cash short falls will be addressed through equity financing, if available. Management expects revenues will be realized but not to the point of profitability in the short term. We will need to continue to raise additional capital, both internally and externally, to cover cash shortfalls and to compete in our markets. At our current revenue levels management believes we will require an additional $1,000,000 during the next 12 months to satisfy our cash requirements of approximately $83,333 per month. These



23




operating costs include cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, salaries and benefits and professional fees. We have insufficient financing commitments in place to meet our expected cash requirements for 2009 and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain financing to fund our operations in 2009, then we may be required to reduce our expenses and scale back our operations.

 

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

The Company leases office and warehouse spaces in Covington, KY and Erlanger, KY under a five-year and 37 month non-cancelable operating lease, expiring August 2011 and December 2010, respectively. Base rent is $5,807 per month with an annual rent escalator of 3%. At December 31, 2008, future minimum payments for operating leases related to our office and manufacturing facilities were $178,333 through August 2011.

 

Our total current liabilities increased to $615,415 at December 31, 2008 compared to $612,939 at December 31, 2007. Our total current liabilities at December 31, 2008 included accounts payable and accrued expenses of $246,857, convertible debentures of $42,000 and a loan from shareholder of $326,558.

Our operating expenses have generally increased from the year ended December 31, 2008 compared with the year ended December 31, 2007.  The major components of our operating expenses consist of selling and administrative expense and stock based consulting for the comparable reporting periods.  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our selling and administrative expenses were $1,560,984 and $1,230,244, respectively, while our stock based consulting expenses were $142,450 and $284,900, respectively. 


The Company only recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, receipt of goods by the customer occurs, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and upon the customer acceptance of the goods.

 



24




Persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists upon the Company’s receipt of a signed purchase order from the customer, the Company’s shipment of the goods as specified in the purchase order and the customer’s receipt of the goods ordered.

 

A sales agreement is initiated when the customer submits a signed purchase order which states the product(s) ordered, price, quantity and the terms and conditions of sale. Acceptance occurs upon the earlier of: (1) the Company’s receipt of a written acceptance of the goods from the customer; or (2) expiration of the time period stated in each purchase order for final payment which may vary with each order. The customer has a right of return from the date that the shipment occurs until the final payment date stated in the purchase order. Revenue is only recognized upon completion of product testing by the customer, but not later than 180 days after product shipment occurs.

Totals per financial statements:

Our total operating expense was $1,703,434 and $1,998,412 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.


Our average monthly cost of operations from January 2008 through December 2008 was $154,063. Excluding, non-cash charges of $142,450 for stock based consulting, $415,269 for issuances of common stock for services, and $26,250 in stock based compensation, the monthly cost of operations from January 2008 through December 2008 was $105,399.

 

As of December 31, 2008, we have approximately $305,179 in cash remaining. Of this amount, $305,179 is available for use as payroll expense pursuant to the terms of the investment agreements entered into with purchasers of units in the Unit Offering.

 

At this rate, and barring any material changes to our capital requirements, we anticipate being able to sustain our operations for seven months, at which time we will have to obtain additional capital funding. Thus, our ability to sustain ourselves on our current cash position depends almost entirely on: (1) how long the government approval process may take and how high the initial market demand is for the THOR system, and (2) how long it takes to realize revenue from sales of the ODIN ULDRIS unit; and (3) whether additional cash infusions are obtained via the exercise of outstanding warrants or from other sources. While the receipt of purchase orders for the THOR will dictate our initial production needs, the timing of the government approval process is largely out of our control. Likewise, we have just begun to market the ODIN ULDRIS system and do not have a forecast of how long it may take to realize revenues from any sales of such units.



25





Other than for general operational and payroll expenses, which may also include the payment of additional research and development and marketing expenses, the Company’s day-to-day operations are not expected to change materially until such time as we obtain the necessary government approvals to commence production and then the delivery of the first commercial THOR devices. We do not anticipate having significant additional research and development expenses during the next twelve months, but such expenses may be necessary to facilitate the obtaining of U.S. Government approvals before we can commence production of the THOR system or may be necessary to facilitate the execution of our recent contract with NASA.

 

In the coming months, the Company will sharpen its estimates of its capital requirements based on the quantities of THOR and ODIN ULDRIS units ordered and based on reliable information enabling us to better predict when government approvals might be obtained for the THOR system.


Description of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, Going Concern, and Fair Value of Financial Instruments


This section of our Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies as they pertain to: the Company’s business as a going concern, our use of estimates, our fair valuation of financial instruments, our revenue recognition policy, and to the effect on our financial statements of recent accounting pronouncements.  A more comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies, and certain additional accounting policies, can be found in Note 1 to the financial statements.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company.  The Company’s financial statements are consolidated with the results of its subsidiaries.  All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. 


Our financial statements have been prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In preparing these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  We evaluate these estimates on an on-going basis.  We base these estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  At this point in our operations, subjective judgments do not have a material impact on our financial statements except as discussed in the next paragraph.

  

Going Concern 

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The attainment of sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations is dependent on certain future events.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



26




 

Use of Estimates 

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, security deposits, due to shareholders, accounts payables, accrued expenses and a convertible debenture.  The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair value due to their short term maturities.

 

Revenue Recognition 

 

The Company only recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, receipt of goods by the customer occurs, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and upon the customer acceptance of the goods.

 

Persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists upon the Company’s receipt of a signed purchase order from the customer, the Company’s shipment of the goods as specified in the purchase order and the customer’s receipt of the goods ordered.

 

A sales agreement is initiated when the customer submits a signed purchase order which states the product(s) ordered, price, quantity and the terms and conditions of sale.  Acceptance occurs upon the earlier of; (1) the Company’s receipt of a written acceptance of the goods from the customer; or (2) expiration of the time period stated in each purchase order for final payment which may vary with each order.  The customer has a right of return from the date that the shipment occurs until the final payment date stated in the purchase order.  Revenue is only recognized upon completion of product testing by the customer, but not later than 180 days after product shipment occurs.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

The Company does not believe that recent accounting pronouncements will have a material affect on the content or presentation of its financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Board of Directors

Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year 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 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 audit 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, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VALLEY FORGE COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008


NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of the Business


The Company’s primary operating subsidiary has been Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, which was incorporated in Pennsylvania on November 21, 1996. On August 7, 2007, Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, was re-domiciled as a Florida corporation and changed its name to Valley Forge Detection Systems, Inc. (“VFDS”).  Simultaneously, the business segments of the former Pennsylvania company were split into new Florida corporations, with VFDS’ aerospace segment assigned to Valley Forge Aerospace, Inc. (“VFA”); VFDS’ personnel screening technologies assigned to Valley Forge Imaging, Inc. (“VFI”), and VFDS’ development and commercialization of potential new product lines assigned to Valley Forge Emerging Technologies, Inc. (“VFET”).  The Company is the 100% shareholder of its four subsidiaries.


The primary activity of VFI is to market and sell a personnel screening device known as ODIN-ULDRIS (Ultra Low Dose Radiographic Imaging System).  On April 30, 2007, the Company signed an agreement to become a re-seller of the ODIN-ULDRIS.


VFA is actively engaged in the design and manufacture of attitude control instruments for small satellites, in particular, mini momentum reaction wheels based on VFA’s propriety composite and bearing technology.  


VFET evaluates miscellaneous scientific technologies not matching the Company’s aerospace and anti-terrorism business segments for potential commercialization.


Between 1996 and 2003, through VFDS, the Company won numerous contracts to produce various mechanical devices for special projects. Since September 11, 2001 the Company has focused much of its energy on the development and commercialization of its counter-terrorism products.  Such products include an advanced detection capability for illicit narcotics, explosives, and bio-chemical weapons using photo-nuclear reactions to initiate secondary gamma quanta the result of which is a unique and distinguishable signal identifying each component of a substance.  This product is known as the THOR LVX photonuclear detection system (“THOR”).  The development and commercialization of THOR is the present focus of VFDS.


On July 6, 2006, Quetzal Capital 1, Inc., a Florida corporation (“QC1”) entered into a share exchange agreement with VFDS’ predecessor Pennsylvania corporation. Under the share exchange agreement, QC1 issued 40,000,000 shares of its common stock to VFDS shareholders for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of VFDS.  For financial accounting purposes, the exchange of stock was treated as a recapitalization of VFDS with the former shareholders of QC1 retaining 5,000,000 shares (or approximately 11%) of the public company.  Prior to the merger, QC1 was a reporting shell corporation with no operations. The share exchange was approved by QC1 and its sole shareholder, Quetzal Capital Funding I, Inc. (“QCF1”), and by VFDS’ board of directors and a majority of its shareholders.   QC1 changed its name to Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation, and is referred to throughout this report as the “Company.”



35





NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Several related agreements were also made with parties associated or affiliated with QC1 in connection with the approval of the share exchange. These agreements involved the approval of a consulting agreement and a warrant agreement with Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc. (“CTCEG”), a company owned by the same shareholders who owned QC1’s sole corporate shareholder, QCF1, and a registration rights agreement for QCF1, CTCEG and private placement unit holders. On March 14, 2007, QCF1 was dissolved by unanimous decision of its three shareholders, Charles J. Scimeca, George Frudakis, and Tony N. Frudakis. This resulted in the Company gaining two additional shareholders due to the splitting of QCF1's share of the Company’s common stock between the three individual shareholders of QCF1.


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.


Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The attainment of sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations is dependent on certain future events. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty (See Note 2).


Use of Estimates


In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Comprehensive Income


The Company follows the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income, comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, security deposits, due to shareholders, accounts payables, accrued expenses and a convertible debenture. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair value due to their short term maturities.




36





NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Concentration of Credit Risk


Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash investments in high credit quality financial institutions. At various times, the Company has deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts. At December 31, 2008, the Company’s cash deposits exceeded the FDIC insured limits by $76,473.


Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all short-term securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2008, the Company held no cash equivalent securities.


Inventories


The Company’s accounts for finished goods inventory by applying the lower of cost or market method, on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventories consist of the following:

Property and Equipment


Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.


Computers and Equipment

                                      5 years

Furniture and fixtures

                                                  7 years


Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs of the assets are charged to expense as incurred.


Loan Fees


Loan fees are stated at cost.  Amortization on loan fees is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the loans.

 

Revenue Recognition


The Company only recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, receipt of goods by the customer occurs, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and upon the customer acceptance of the goods.


Persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists upon the Company’s receipt of a signed purchase order from the customer, the Company’s shipment of the goods as specified in the purchase order and the customer’s receipt of the goods ordered.




37




A sales agreement is initiated when the customer submits a signed purchase order which states the product(s) ordered, price, quantity and the terms and conditions of sale. Acceptance occurs upon the earlier of: (1) the Company’s receipt of a written acceptance of the goods from the customer; or (2) expiration of the time period stated in each purchase order for final payment which may vary with each order. The customer has a right of return from the date that the shipment occurs until the final payment date stated in the purchase order. Revenue is only recognized upon completion of product testing by the customer, but not later than 180 days after product shipment occurs.


Income Taxes


Under the asset and liability method of FASB Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.


Loss per common share


In accordance with SFAS No 128 “Earnings Per Share,” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. For the periods below the Company excludes potentially dilutive securities such as convertible warrants and the convertible debenture from the loss per share calculations as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.


The following sets forth the computation of earnings per share.

Share Based Payments


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Under SFAS No. 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees or independent contractors are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or “SAB 107”. SAB 107 expresses views of the staff regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods. On April 14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R). Companies may elect to apply this statement either prospectively, or on a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under SFAS 123.


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company has fully adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and related interpretations as provided by SAB 107. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively. Prior to January 1, 2006, neither VFDS nor QC1 had any stock-based compensation plans.


On July 6, 2006 the Company granted 3,000,000 Class A warrants in connection with a two-year consulting agreement beginning July 6, 2006 to CTCEG. These warrants granted in connection with the consulting agreement include the following provisions: 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share when the per share market value closes at or above $1.00 for up to two years from the effective date of the registration statement registering the underlying shares; 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share when the per share market value closes at or above $1.50 for up to two years from the effective date of the registration statement registering the underlying shares; and, 1,000,000 warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per share when the per share market value closes at or above $2.00 for up to two years from the effective date of the registration statement registering the underlying shares.  On February 8, 2008, the Board of Directors extended the consulting and warranty agreement until May 13, 2010.  A total of $569,800 was allocated to these warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: share price of $1.00; strike prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.00 per share; time to expiration (days) of 638; expected volatility of 52.86%; no dividends; and an annual interest rate based on 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill of 4.81%.  Twelve months consulting expense in the amount of $142,450 was attributed to the grant of these warrants through the period ended December 31, 2008. A reconciliation of these related warrants issued and outstanding at December 31, 2008 is as follows:

Warranties


Some of the Company’s product lines will be covered by an annual renewable warranty effective only with the purchase of the Company’s annual maintenance contract agreement. The Company expects the annual maintenance contract agreement fees will total 15% to 20% of the original purchase price of the products.


Revenue from periodic maintenance agreements shall be recognized ratably over the respective maintenance periods provided no significant obligations remain, and collectability of the related receivable is probable.


Recent accounting pronouncements


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard.  Additionally, companies are required to provide enhanced disclosure regarding financial instruments in one of the categories, including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances separately for each major category of assets and liabilities.  In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, which delays by one year the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain types of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.  As a result, SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008, for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, and on July 1, 2009, for non-recurring non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on July 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, with no material impact on its financial statements.  The Company is currently determining what impact the application of SFAS 157 on July 1, 2009 for non-recurring non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value will have on its financial statements.


In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”).  FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157, which the Company adopted as of July 1, 2008, in cases where a market is not active.  The Company has considered the guidance provided by FSP 157-3 as of December 31, 2008, and the impact was not material.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115, (“SFAS 159”), which permits an entity to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS 159 amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. The Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe the acceptance of SFAS 159 has a material impact on the financial statements.




40




In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS No. 161 requires additional disclosures related to the use of derivative instruments, the accounting for derivatives and the financial statement impact of derivatives.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will not impact the Company's financial statements.


In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” We do not currently expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.


In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis.


In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF No. 03-6-1”).  Under FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.


The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Research and Development Costs


Research and development costs, which relate primarily to the development, design and testing of products, are expensed as incurred, until such time as management determines the research and development will have a future use and at that time, such expense are capitalized and amortized over their useful life.  Research and development expense, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were  $226,769 in 2008 and $50 for 2007.  Capitalized research and development costs were $244,091 in 2008 and $0 in 2007.

 NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN


As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $6,267,598 at December 31, 2008, net losses in the period ended December 31, 2008 of $1,848,755 and cash used in operations during the period ended December 31, 2008 of $741,901. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.


The attainment of sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations is dependent on certain future events. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management may attempt to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering of its securities. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to improve sales volume and its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.


Since its inception in 1996, the Company was involved in the development and sales of advanced scientific technologies. Sales through the years were sporadic but had high margins. The Company’s limited financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its products and services to achieve consumer recognition. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan to generate increased revenues and to raise additional funds.


In 2003, the Company entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement for the development and commercialization of the THOR system, which is more fully described in Note 4.


While the Company is attempting to increase sales in general, the growth has not been significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


The Company also seeks the acquisition, development, and commercialization of other advanced technologies. The ultimate success of the Company in attaining sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations is dependent upon the successful development and commercialization of these advanced technologies including the THOR and Odin systems together with obtaining sufficient capital or financing to support management plans. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues and to raise additional funds provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – INCOME TAXES


There was no income tax expense for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 due to the Company’s net losses.


Deferred income taxes reflect the net income tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income taxes.  The Company’s deferred income tax assets and liabilities consist of the following at December 31, 2008:


Net operating loss carryforwards

Net operating loss carryforwards totaled approximately $3,746,000 at December 31, 2008.  The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in the year 2028 if not utilized.  After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has recorded a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 due to the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $719,000 for the year ended December 2008. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are limited based on changes in ownership as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382.


Under the asset and liability method of FASB Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has recorded a full valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets. Utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards are limited based on changes in ownership as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Due to ongoing losses and the establishment of a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets, the Company did not record a tax provision for the period ended December 31, 2008.

 

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109’’ (‘‘FIN 48’’), which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is ‘‘more likely than not’’ that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has evaluated its tax positions taken through December 31, 2007 and determined that no uncertain tax positions existed as of December 31, 2008 requiring recognition in accordance with FIN 48.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


At December 31, 2008 the Company owed Louis J. Brothers, the Company’s president and major shareholder, $326,558 for advances made to the Company. Such amount, which is included in the due to shareholders balance on the balance sheet at December 31, 2008 earns 6% annual interest compounded quarterly, and is due on demand.


On August 11, 2006, Coast to Coast Equity Group, Inc., a Company warrant holder, loaned the Company $42,000 as described in Note 6.


NOTE 5 - DESCRIPTION OF LEASING ARRANGEMENTS

River Center Boulevard, Suite 820, Covington, Kentucky. The term of the lease shall be for five years beginning on the first day of September, 2006 and ending on the last day of August, 2011.


Under the terms of the lease, the Company shall pay additional rent to cover operating expenses of the property at a pro rata share deemed to be 0.928%, which will total approximately $19,402 for the initial twelve months.  These expenses are anticipated to increase at a 3% rate annually for the remaining term of the agreement.


On December 1, 2007, the Company entered into a lease of 2,700 square feet of rentable space located at 1895 Airport Exchange Blvd, Building A, Erlanger, Kentucky. The term of the lease shall be for 37 months beginning on the first day of December, 2007 and ending on the last day of December, 2010.

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE


On August 11, 2006, the Company issued a convertible debenture to Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc. (“CTCEG”), in the amount of $42,000 in exchange for cash received.  This debenture matures upon the earlier of twelve months from the date of the closing of the merger between VFDS and CTCEG, which occurred on July 6, 2006, or upon the date of an “event of default” which would include any proceedings by VFDS to seek protection due to insolvency. On August 10, 2007, the Company and CTCEG agreed to extend the agreement for an additional twelve months ending July 6, 2008.  The stated interest rate is 4% per annum. The amounts due may be paid in cash or, upon mutual agreement of the parties, cash equivalents including but not limited to payment in the form of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.00 per share; or upon mutual agreement of the parties, CTCEG may apply amounts due toward the cash exercise of the 3,000,000 Class A warrants granted to CTCEG as stated in detail within the Consulting agreement as Share Based Payments which is described in Note 1.




44




NOTE 7 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY


On July 6, 2006, the Company issued 3,000,000 Class A warrants in exchange for consulting services rendered. The Company valued these warrants at the fair market value on the dates of the grant as referred to in Note 1. The Company recorded stock based consulting expense of $142,450 for the period ending December 31, 2008.


During the period August 2006 through November 2006, the Company sold in private placement transactions 1,296,500 units at $1.00 per unit which consist of 1 share of common stock and 1 Class B warrant which can be exercised at $1.50 per share within 6 months from the effective date of a registration statement registering the units and the underlying shares reserved for the exercise of the warrants. A registration statement was required to be filed within 30 days from the date that the Company attains a shareholder base of 35 shareholders. This filing occurred on November 14, 2006 and was declared effective on May 14, 2007.  The Class B warrants’ contractual expiration date of November 13, 2007 has been extended several times by the board of directors, with the most recent extension occurring on December 23, 2008. The Class B warrants currently expire on April 4, 2009.


The Company established a price protection provision relating to the selling unit holders of the private placement securities named in the registration statement. The provision states that parties to the agreement are entitled to receive additional stock or warrants if the Company sells shares of stock or warrants for less than $1.00 per share of common stock and $1.50 per warrant prior to the time limitations specified which are one (1) year from the effective date of the Registration Statement for common stock issued and six (6) months from the effective date of the Registration Statement for warrants issued. The Company did not offer any additional securities that would have caused this provision to become effective prior to the applicable time limitations of the provisions, which expired in May 2008. Accordingly, the Company believes that the price protection provision will have no accounting impact.


Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc., and Charles J. Scimeca, George Frudakis, and Tony N. Frudakis (formerly the shareholders of Quetzal Capital Funding 1, Inc.), are protected from dilution of their percentage ownership of the Company. Non-dilution rights, as defined by the registration rights agreement (incorporated by reference herein), mean that these parties shall continue to have the same percentage of ownership and the same percentage of voting rights of the class of the Company’s common stock regardless of whether the Company or its successors or its assigns may thereafter increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock or increase or decrease the number of shares issued and outstanding. The non-dilution rights, by the terms of the registration rights agreement, will continue in effect for a period of two years from the effective date of the registration statement and are assignable in private transactions, provided that the shares are not sold in market transactions. The Company does not anticipate that it will offer any additional securities which would cause this provision to become effective prior to the applicable time limitations of the provisions. Accordingly, the Company believes that the non-dilution provision will have no accounting impact. Nevertheless, on February 8, 2008, the board of directors implicitly extended the termination date of the non-dilution protection to May 14, 2010 by extending the Consulting Agreement, the Warrant Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement for an additional three years.


Common Stock Warrants


On July 3, 2008, the Company secured a financing arrangement with MKM Opportunity Master Fund, LLC ("MKM") an unaffiliated accredited institutional investor. The financing consists of a $500,000 Convertible Note, with a conversion price of $0.50 per share, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per year, payable on a quarterly basis and has a term of three years due on July 3, 2011. In connection with the financing, MKM was also issued Series C Warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of 1.61 per share. In connection with this financing arrangement, the Company recorded an initial debt discount of $500,000 to be amortized over the term of the note and charged $82,648 to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2008.

 



45




On September 29, 2008, the Company secured a financing arrangement with MKM and several securities purchasers unrelated to MKM. The financing consists of a $650,000 Convertible Note, with a conversion price of $0.35 per share, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per year, payable on a quarterly basis and has a term of three years due on September 29, 2011. In connection with the financing, MKM and other unrelated individuals were also issued Series D Warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 1,857,146 shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of .75 per share. In connection with this financing arrangement, the Company recorded an initial debt discount of $650,000 to be amortized over the term of the note and charged $55,799 to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2008.

NOTE 8 - REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT


Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into on July 6, 2006, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the securities issued to CTCEG and to private securities purchasers (the unit purchasers), and to register for resale the 5,000,000 shares owned by Charles J. Scimeca, George Frudakis, and Tony N. Frudakis (formerly QCF1), no later than 30 days after the Company obtains a shareholder base of 35 shareholders, and to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective with the SEC within 180 days of the filing date. If the Company did not meet the scheduled filing date, it had agreed to pay liquidated damages as required in the registration rights agreement. Similar registration rights applied to the Company’s sales of securities in a private placement transaction occurring between August 2006 and November 2006. Management timely filed the Form SB-2 registration agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 14, 2006, and the SEC declared the registration effective on May 14, 2007, which was the first business day after the 180-day period expired. Accordingly, liquidated damages have not been accrued as of the balance sheet date.  Subsequently, on February 8, 2008, the expiration date of the Registration Rights Agreement was extended to May 14, 2010 by the board of directors.


Pursuant to the terms of the August-November 2006 private placement agreement, the Company agreed to obtain a trading symbol from the NASD within three (3) months after the effective date of the



46




Company’s registration statement registering the private placement securities, and, if it failed to do so, the Company agreed that it would undertake to locate and merge with a company having a public quote for its common stock within the seven (7) month period following the effective date of the Company’s Registration Statement, and, failing the ability to merge timely with a trading company, the Company had agreed to rescind the Purchaser’s investment. The Company obtained a trading symbol for its common stock on July 9, 2007.  Accordingly, damages have not been accrued as of the balance sheet date.

NOTE 12 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE


The Company’s current accounts payable and accrued expenses include $77,979 borrowed on revolving credit lines utilizing corporate credit cards which bear interest at an average rate of 12.49% per annum and call for total minimum monthly installment payments of $1,932 as of December 31, 2008. However, since amounts may be due on demand and it is the Company’s intent to pay such balances in their entirety during 2008, such amounts have been classified as current.  


The remaining accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist of ordinary administrative expenses which were incurred in the operations of the Company.


NOTE 13 – NOTES PAYABLE


On December 19, 2007, the Company borrowed $160,000 from a financial institution at a rate of 5.00% with a maturity date of June 15, 2008.  The note was secured by a personal guarantee of an officer and employee of the Company.  As of December 31, 2008 the balance outstanding was $0.


On July 3, 2008, we received gross proceeds of $500,000 ($415,202 net proceeds) in connection with a financing provided by MKM, an unaffiliated accredited institutional investor.  The note matures on July 7, 2011 and bears an interest rate at 8% per year, with interest payable on a quarterly basis.  Pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement that we entered into with MKM in connection with the financing, we issued a secured convertible promissory note to MKM with an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share.


In connection with the promissory note, seven-year Series C Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.61 per share were issued.  These warrants are treated as a discount on the promissory note and were valued at $500,000 and will be amortized over a 36-month period.  The fair value of each stock warrant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in accordance with SFAS No. 157 using the following weighted average assumptions:  expected divided yield 0%; risk free interest rate of 2.82%; volatility of 106% and an expected term of 3 years.


On September 29, 2008, we received gross proceeds of $650,000 ($509,822 net proceeds) in connection with a financing provided by MKM, an unaffiliated accredited institutional investor and other unrelated individuals. The note matures on September 29, 2011 and bears an interest rate at 8% per year, with interest payable on a quarterly basis.  Pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement that we entered into with MKM in connection with the financing, we issued a secured convertible promissory note to MKM with an initial conversion price of $0.35 per share.


In connection with the promissory note, seven-year Series D Warrants to purchase 1,857,146 shares of common stock at a price of $0.75 per share.  These warrants were treated as a discount on the promissory note and were valued at $650,000 and will be amortized over a 36-month period.  The fair value of each stock warrant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in accordance with SFAS No. 157 using the following weighted average assumptions:  expected divided yield 0%; risk free interest rate of 2.82%; volatility of 125% and an expected term of 3 years.

The Company established a price protection provision relating to the selling price of common stock per the agreement. The provision states that parties to the agreement are entitled to receive additional stock if the Company sells shares of stock for less than $1.50 per share of common stock to an investor prior to the time limitations specified which is one (1) year from the effective date of the agreement.

This rescission has no impact on the Statement of Operations or Shareholders’ Equity.


NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company’s Board of Directors on April 8, 2009 was made aware that certain shareholders, particularly certain shareholders who purchased our units in the fall of 2006 and Charles Scimeca who is the president of Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc. and a direct shareholder and Class A warrant holder, may wish to sue the Company and/or its board of directors for the Company’s failure to complete the development of THOR and its failure to sell an ODIN unit and may allege that Mr. Brothers promised certain individual shareholders that the products would be finished and sales made by dates certain. However, no specific allegations have been made, nor have any legal theories of liability been presented to the Company, except that Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc. has indicated that it may also seek approximately $50,000 in claimed unreimbursed expenses for consulting services in addition to claims it may seek as a shareholder. The Company is evaluating the merits and materiality of these unasserted claims and its options.  No amounts have been reserved for these unasserted claims.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES.


During 2005 and up to July 6, 2006, Morison Cogen, LLP was the independent auditing firm of Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation.  On July 6, 2006, following the Share Exchange transaction, the company elected to continue to use Sherb & Co., LLP as its independent auditing firm.  (During 2005 and 2006, Sherb & Co., LLP was the independent auditing firm of the shell company that acquired the Pennsylvania corporation.) There were no disagreements with Morison Cogen, LLP.


Change of Independent Auditors:


On March 2, 2009, Sherb & Co., LLP. was dismissed as the certifying accountant for the Company.  On March 5, 2009, the Company engaged Hawkins Accounting as its principal independent accountant.  This decision to engage Hawkins Accounting was ratified by the full Board of Directors of the Company.


Pertaining to Sherb & Co., LLP’s accountant’s report on the financial statements for the past two years, management of the Company has not had any disagreements with Sherb & Co., LLP related to any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Sherb & Co., LLP, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.


Because the Company has no standing audit committee, the Company’s full Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent accountants.


In connection with its review of financial statements through September 30, 2008, there have been no disagreements with Sherb & Co., LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Sherb & Co., LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements.


During the two most recent audit periods and the interim period up to September 30, 2008, there have been no reportable events with the Company as set forth in Item 304(a)(i)(v) of Regulation S-K.


The Company requested that Sherb & Co., LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our Form 8-K filed on March 6, 2009.


New Independent Auditors:


The Company engaged Hawkins Accounting as its new certifying accountant as of March 5, 2009.  Prior to such date, the Company did not consult with Hawkins Accounting regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered, or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event between the Company and its former auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2008. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc.’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc.’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting of the Company includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairy reflect the transactions of the company.

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error or circumvention through collusion of improper overriding of controls. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.

 

The management of Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc. assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSD) in Internal-Control-Integrated Framework and implemented a process to monitor and assess both the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this annual report.



52




Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2008. In connection with such evaluation, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred since the beginning of the Company’s fourth quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

From 1978 to 1994 Mr. Brothers was an assistant product manager and then the product manager of two to four product lines at Quaker Chemical, located in Conshohosken, Pennsylvania. Mr. Brothers holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Interdisciplinary Sciences from the University of Cincinnati.

 

Larry K. Wilhide


Larry K. Wilhide is a founder of VLYF, and since its inception in 1997 has been a director and the vice-president of engineering. On July 6, 2006, Mr. Wilhide became a director of the Company upon the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement. Mr. Wilhide is a part-time employee of VLYF and since 2000 continues to work for SKF Bearing, Inc. in Hanover, Pennsylvania as a sub-contractor where he performs general engineering and design services.


Mr. Wilhide has worked as a design engineer on projects for aerospace bearings for over 25 years including cage, retainer design and spherical bearing refurbishing. He has supported general machining and grinding operations. He was team leader for computer aided design and computer numerical control programming. Additionally, Mr. Wilhide served in the U.S. Army in Korea where he held primary responsibility for arming nuclear warheads. Mr. Wilhide holds a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering.


Andrew T. Gilinsky


Andrew T. Gilinsky has consented to becoming a director of the Company. Mr. Gilinsky is a certified public accountant and has been employed since 1987 by Clairmont Paciello & Co., P.C., located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.  Clairmont Paciello & Co., P.C. serves as the Company’s outsourced accounting staff.  

 

Eugene Breyer


Eugene Breyer has consented to becoming a director of the Company.  Mr. Breyer’s spouse is the sister of Mr. Brother’s spouse. From December 1999 through the present, Mr. Breyer has been employed as the director of human resources for Cincinnati State Technical and Community College.


Dr. Victor E. Alessi


Dr. Victor E. Alessi has consented to becoming a director of the Company. From 1999 until September 2007, Dr. Alessi was the Chief Executive Officer of the United States Industry Coalition, an Arlington, Virginia based non-profit organization comprised of American businesses, organizations, and research institutions dedicated to non-proliferation through the commercialization of technology emanating from the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union.

Richard S. Relac has consented to becoming a director of the Company. Mr. Relac is a professional linguist and since January 2006 has been self-employed in this capacity.  From 1983 to January 2002, Mr. Relac served the National Security Agency as an intelligence analyst and reporter, customer relations officer, and senior editor.

Corporate Governance


The Board of Directors held formal meetings in August, September, October, November, and December 2008. Meetings of the board have been conducted by telephone.  We have never held an annual meeting of shareholders because all actions requiring shareholder approval have been conducted by the written consent of our majority shareholders, Messrs. Brothers and Wilhide.  We anticipate that we will begin to hold annual shareholder meetings when we enter into the operational phase of our core business plan.  


Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert


We do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert sitting on the board.  Due to our stagnant growth during 2008, we did not expand our board of directors as expected to include an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert.  It is not likely that we will expand the board in 2009 to include an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert unless and until we enter into the operational phase of our core business plan.


Board of Directors Nominating Committee


We do not have a standing board of directors nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions.  Messrs. Brothers and Wilhide at all times from the inception of VLYF to March 2008 have been the only directors of the Company.  In March and April 2008, Messrs. Brothers and Wilhide appointed five directors to serve indefinitely. We do not anticipate needing a nominating committee at least until we choose to add additional directors or to fill a vacant position.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act


Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of its equity securities file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of its common stock and other equity securities.  Executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.  Based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, the Company believes that during 2008 the filing requirements applicable to its newly appointed directors were delinquent.  The Company believes that the filing requirements for its existing executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners were met.


The following reports were filed late for newly appointed directors’ Section 16(a) disclosures:


Forms 3 for Andrew T. Gilinsky, Eugene Breyer, Dr. Victor E. Alessi, Raul A. Fernandez, and Richard S. Relac.



55





Code of Ethics


In August 2006, the Company adopted a Code of Ethics.  The Code of Ethics applies to the Company’s officers, director level employees and certain other designated employees and independent contractors.  A copy of the Code of Ethics, our Code of Conduct, and our Insider Trading Policy are available on our website at www.VLYF.com under the “Investor Relations” tab.

Compensation Committee Report


Our board of directors has not reviewed or discussed with Management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K.


The members of our board of directors, as of December 31, 2008, were Louis J. Brothers, Larry K. Wilhide, Andrew T. Gilinsky, Eugene Breyer, Dr. Victor E. Alessi, Raul A. Fernandez, and Richard S. Relac.


Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Our bylaws contain the broadest form of indemnification for our officers and directors permitted under Florida law.  Our bylaws generally provide as follows:


The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by, or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he or she acted in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of no contenders or its equivalent shall not create, of itself, a presumption that the person did not act in good faith or in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.


To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in any defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

Any indemnification shall be made only if a determination is made that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above. Such determination shall be made either (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) by the shareholders who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding.  If neither of the above determinations can occur because the Board of Directors consists of a sole director or the Company is owned by a sole shareholder, which is controlled by the sole officer and director, then the sole officer and director or sole shareholder shall be allowed to make such determination.


Expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided above upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined that she is entitled to be indemnified by the Company.


The indemnification provided shall be in addition to the indemnification rights provided pursuant to Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.



57





Director Compensation


The following table summarizes all compensation paid to our directors during 2008.

Transactions with Promoters


On July 6, 2006, Quetzal Capital 1, Inc., a Florida corporation (“QC1”) entered into a share exchange agreement with VFDS’ predecessor Pennsylvania corporation. Under the share exchange agreement, QC1 issued 40,000,000 shares of its common stock to VFDS shareholders for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of VFDS.  For financial accounting purposes, the exchange of stock was treated as a recapitalization of VFDS with the former shareholders of QC1 retaining 5,000,000 shares (or approximately 11%) of the public company.  Prior to the merger, QC1 was a reporting shell corporation with no operations. The share exchange was approved by QC1 and its sole shareholder, Quetzal Capital Funding I, Inc. (“QCF1”), and by VFDS’ board of directors and a majority of its shareholders.   QC1 changed its name to Valley Forge Composite Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation, and is referred to throughout this report as the “Company.”  The three shareholders of QC1 were the same shareholders of Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc., which entered into a consulting agreement with the newly merged Company.


The Company has a consulting contract with Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc.  The contract is for a two-year period.  The full text of the contract is attached to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on July 11, 2006 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The terms of the contract generally provide that Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc. will not be paid cash but will be paid three million warrants to purchase up to three million shares of Company common stock.  The warrant agreement also is attached to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on July 11, 2006 and is incorporated herein by reference.


Coast To Coast Equity Group, Inc., Charles, J. Scimeca, Tony N. Frudakis, and George Frudakis are protected from dilution of their percentage ownership of the Company.  Non-dilution rights, as defined by the registration rights agreement (the full text of the agreement is attached to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on July 11, 2006 and is incorporated herein by reference), mean that these parties shall continue to have the same percentage of ownership and the same percentage of voting rights of the class of the Company’s common stock regardless whether the Company or its successors or its assigns may thereafter increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock or increase or decrease the number of shares issued and outstanding.  The non-dilution rights, by the terms of the registration rights agreement, will continue in effect for a period two years from May 14, 2007, the effective date of the Form SB-2 registration statement which registers their Company securities for re-sale.


On August 11, 2006, the Company issued a convertible debenture to CTCEG in the amount of $42,000 in exchange for cash received.  The interest rate is 4% per annum and runs from August 11, 2006.  The amounts due may be paid in cash or cash equivalents, including but not limited to payment in the form of the Company’s common stock valued at $1.00 per share, or CTCEG may apply amounts due toward the cash exercise of its Class A Warrants.  The sale was conducted in a private transaction exempt from registration pursuant to pursuant to Sections 4(2) or 4(6) of the Securities Act.


On August 22, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with CTCEG to sell 333,333 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share on demand of the Company.  The Company established a price protection provision relating to the selling price of common stock per the agreement.  The provision states that parties to the agreement are entitled to receive additional stock if the Company sells shares of stock



60




for less than $1.50 per share of common stock to an investor prior to the time limitations specified which is one (1) year from the effective date of the agreement.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company had sold 271,333 shares for $407,000.  The Company has the right to sell an additional 62,000 shares with a value of $93,000 to CTCEG by August 21, 2008.


For a transaction on February 15, 2008, the Company on August 8, 2008 issued CTCEG 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to reimburse it for its assignment of 200,000 registered Class A warrants to Debra Elenson without compensation from Ms. Elenson. On or about February 15, 2008, Ms. Elenson exercised the warrants. The issue was conducted in a private transaction exempt from registration pursuant to pursuant to Sections 4(2) or 4(6) of the Securities Act.


For a May 8, 2008 transaction, the Company on August 8, 2008 issued 1,200,000 shares of restricted common stock to reimburse CTCEG’s principals Charles Scimeca and Tony Frudakis for their sale of 1,200,000 shares of registered Company stock to Daniel Katz at a discount to market to induce Mr. Katz to enter an investment banking agreement. The Company issued an additional 360,000 shares to CTCEG to compensate it for its federal tax liability. The issue was conducted in a private transaction exempt from registration pursuant to pursuant to Sections 4(2) or 4(6) of the Securities Act.
