NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    Interim Financial Statements
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2009 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management of the Company, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for such interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to From 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X for smaller reporting companies.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by  U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current period presentation.
 
   Basis of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalNano, Inc. (“NaturalNano” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”) a Delaware corporation. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   Description of the Business
 
NaturalNano (the “Company”), located in Pittsford, New York, is a development stage company engaged in the development and commercialization of material science technologies with an emphasis on additives to polymers and other industrial and consumer products by taking advantage of technology advances developed in-house and through licenses from third parties. The Company’s current activities are directed toward research, development, production and marketing of its proprietary technologies relating to the treatment and separation of nanotubes from halloysite clay and the development of related commercial applications for:
 
·
polymers, plastics and composites
 
·
cosmetic and personal care items,
 
·
household products, and
 
·
agrichemical products.
 
NaturalNano is domiciled in the state of Nevada as a result of the merger with Cementitious Materials, Inc., (“CMI”), which was completed on November 29, 2005.
 
   Liquidity
 
Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $426,096 and had negative working capital of $5,667,291 and a stockholders' deficiency of $5,323,692 at March 31, 2009. Since inception the Company’s growth has been funded through combination of convertible debt from private investors and from cash advances from its former parent Technology Innovations, LLC. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing and, ultimately, to attain successful operations.

On April 3, 2009, the Company entered into two 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes for an aggregate borrowing of $171,126. These notes are referred to as the “2009 Promissory Notes.” As of March 31, 2009, the Company had received advances of $144,441 in connection with the 2009 Promissory Notes. The proceeds from the 2009 Promissory Notes were provided for general working capital purposes and cannot be used to redeem or make any payment on account of any securities due to the Lenders. The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in full on June 30, 2009. On April 3, 2009 the Company received the balance of the proceeds in the amount of $26,685. On April 21 and May 12, 2009, the Company entered into additional 8% Senior Secured Promissory Note for $5,000 and $15,000, respectively.

Management is actively assessing the Company's operating structure with the objective to reduce ongoing expenses, increasing sources of revenue and is negotiating the terms of additional debt or equity financing.  The Company will continually evaluate funding options including additional offerings of its securities to private and institutional investors and other credit facilities as they become available. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing alternatives might be available.
  
   Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.  The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.  For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and then is revalued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.  For stock based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model, adjusted for management’s assessment of the probability of exercise, to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.  The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.  Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
 
   Loss Per Share
 
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to dilutive preferred stock, convertible debt, options and warrants outstanding during the period. Shares to be issued upon the exercise of these instruments have not been included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive based on the net loss incurred. There were 1,025,555,385 and 63,472,738 potentially dilutive shares underlying convertible debt, outstanding options and warrants which would have been considered in the calculation for March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, if the Company had generated earnings in the period.

   Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) EITF 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock. EITF 07-05 applies to any free-standing financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. The adoption of EITF 07-05 had a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations as the Company has financial instruments with the characteristics which meet the definition of a derivative instrument in accordance with the provisions of this pronouncement.   See Note 3 for additional disclosure regarding the adoption of EITF 07-05.

   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

2. DEBT AGREEMENTS
 
8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes
On April 3, 2009, the Company entered into two 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes for an aggregate borrowing of $171,126. These notes are referred to as the “2009 Promissory Notes.” As of March 31, 2009, the Company had received advances of $144,441 in connection with the 2009 Promissory Notes. The proceeds from the 2009 Promissory Notes were provided for general working capital purposes and cannot be used to redeem or make any payment on account of any securities due to the Lenders. The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in full on June 30, 2009. On April 3, 2009 the Company received the balance of the proceeds in the amount of $26,685.

The proceeds from the 2009 Promissory Notes were provided for general working capital purposes and cannot be used to redeem or make any payment on account of any securities due to the Lenders. The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in full on June 30, 2009.

 On April 21 and May 12, 2009, the Company entered into additional 8% Senior Secured Promissory Note for $5,000 and $15,000, respectively. The terms and conditions of the May 12, 2009 note are consistent with the terms and conditions of the April 3, 2009 notes.

   8% Senior Secured Convertible Debt
As of March 31, 2009 the consolidated balance sheet reflects a current liability of $3,152,028 for Senior Secured Convertible debt net of $656,972 of discount. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock at the price of $0.005 per share, which will be adjusted if there are future issuances of common stock at a price less than this conversion price. These notes have been classified as a current due to the Company’s default on certain provisions of the agreement including those related to the payment of interest and the registration rights agreement (described further below.) The lenders have signed a forbearance agreement related to these default provisions through August 31, 2009.  Subsequent to March 31, 2009, 675,000 shares of common stock were issued to the holders of the notes for payment of a portion of the outstanding accrued interest amounting to $3,375.

On February 6, 2009, the Company received a Notice of Conversion from Longview Special Financing Inc. requesting the conversion and issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock in payment of $2,500 in outstanding principal on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible notes. In accordance with the debt agreement, these shares were issued to Longview on March 19, 2009. Subsequent to March 31, 2009 an additional $2,500 was converted into 500,000 shares of common stock

The discount on these notes will be amortized using a straight line method and classified as interest during the term of the Notes through the period ending January 31, 2010. The Company has determined the use of the straight-line method for the amortization of the discount is an appropriate effective yield method as required by EITF 98-5 as the principal of the note is due in full at maturity, the interest in not compounding and therefore this method appropriately matches the interest expense to the cash flow of the note.
  
As of December 31, 2008 the Company has a deferred income tax liability of $150,189 which consists of the tax effect of the difference in the basis between GAAP and tax purposes for the beneficial conversion feature in connection with the Notes entered into during 2008 with the offset recorded through Additional Paid in Capital as an offset to the beneficial conversion feature.  This deferred tax liability will decrease with a corresponding increase to Additional Paid in Capital as the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the term of the Notes. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded a reduction of $34,122 to Deferred Tax Liabilities and a corresponding charge to Additional Paid in Capital in connection with the tax attributes associated with the amortization of this beneficial conversion feature.
 
   Registration Rights Agreement
 
On March 7, 2007, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file within 60 days of the March 7, 2007 agreement, a registration statement for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, in payment of interest on, or upon conversion of, the Notes. The Company further agreed to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective 120 days following the March 7, 2007 agreement date, or within 150 days if the Company receives a comment letter from the SEC, and to maintain such Registration Statement for the two year period following this date. This agreement allows for liquidated damages based on a daily amount of 0.0333% of the principal amount of the notes relating to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes included in the Registration Statement.

 
- 7 - -

 
 
The lender has the option to settle the liquidated damages in common stock valued at the average price for the five days prior to the end of a payment period. As of the fourth quarter of 2008, the registration statement had not updated with the requisite SEC filings and as such, the Company was in default of this provision of the Registration Rights Agreement. The lenders have provided the Company a forbearance agreement related to this default through August 31, 2009.
 
3. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In June 2008, the FASB finalized Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock,” which was adopted effective January 1, 2009.  Under EITF 07-05, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments.  The Company evaluated their instruments as described below.

The Company issued warrants to Platinum Advisors LLC in 2007 as consideration for due diligence services in connection with the Loan and Security Agreement as described in Note 2 above. In connection with these services, the Company has outstanding warrants for the purchase of 162,093,910 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.005 per share. These warrants contain anti-dilution provisions that would be triggered if the Company issued instruments with rights to the Company’s common stock at prices below this exercise price (described in Note 2.)  None of these warrants have been exercised as of March 31, 2009.

In addition, the Company issued a warrant agreement to Technology Innovations LLC (“TI”) in August 2008, described in Note 4.  The warrant was determined not to have a fixed settlement provision as the exercise price will fluctuate based upon the number of shares fully diluted outstanding.

The convertible debt contains anti-dilution provisions that would be triggered if the Company issued instruments with rights to the Company’s common stock at prices below this exercise price (described in Note 2.)

The Company included these anti-dilution provisions in order to protect the warrant and debt holders from the potential dilution associated with future financings.  In accordance with EITF 07-05, the warrants and debt conversion feature have been recognized as a derivative instrument and have been re-characterized as derivative liabilities. SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”) requires that the fair value of these liabilities be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
 
The derivative liabilities were valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions on the following dates, adjusted based on probability of various scenarios for each instrument:

Expected volatility
    267 %     242 %
Expected life (in years)
    0.83       1.08  
Expected dividend yield
    -       -  

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the U.S. treasury yield. The Company’s expected volatility was based on the volatility of the Company’s stock price using a look-back basis.  The expected life of the warrants was determined by the expiration date of the warrants.  The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact the Company has not historically paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

EITF 07-05 was implemented in the first quarter of 2009 and is reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.  As a result, the cumulative effect on the accounting for the warrants was as follows:

 
Derivative Instrument
 
Decrease in
Additional 
Paid-in-Capital
   
Increase(decrease)
in Accumulated
Deficit

Platinum Advisors warrants

    -       514,427     $ 14,427  
Total
  $ 501,018     $ 71,761     $ 572,779  

The Platinum Advisor warrants were originally recorded at $501,018, their relative fair value on the date of grant, as an increase to additional paid-in-capital.  Changes in Accumulated Deficit include $71,761 in gains resulting from the decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities through December 31, 2008.  The derivative liability amount reflects the fair value of each derivative instrument as of the January 1, 2009 date of implementation. The derivative liability associated with the debt conversion feature is classified as short term as the associated debt matures January 30, 2010.  The Platinum Advisor and TI warrants classified as derivative liabilities mature in 2011 and accordingly are presented as long term liabilities.
 
   Fair Value Measurement

Valuation Hierarchy

FAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.  A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using certain quoted market prices and estimated factors such as volatility and probability and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The following table provides a roll forward of the liabilities carried at fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3).

4. WARRANT AGREEMENT WITH TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS, LLC
 
Prior to September 26, 2008, Technology Innovations LLC (“TI”) was our principal stockholder with a beneficial ownership of 56.3% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2007. TI is a New York limited liability corporation established in 1999 to develop intellectual property assets. TI founded NaturalNano, Inc., a Delaware corporation on December 22, 2004.
  
On August 1, 2008 $900,000 of principal outstanding to TI, along with $129,600 of accrued and unpaid interest, was satisfied in exchange for a warrant resulting in a gain on extinguishment of liabilities with a shareholder recorded as an increase in additional-paid-in-capital. Under the warrant agreement, TI may purchase up to that number of shares that would give TI a beneficial ownership of not more than 4.99% of the Company.   If the purchase occurs after February 13, 2009 and before the warrant expires on February 11, 2011, the purchase price shall be computed as $40 million divided by the fully diluted common shares outstanding on the date of exercise.  Based on the terms of the warrant conversion agreement TI has the right to purchase up to 83,318,235 shares at an exercise price of $0.0237 per share as of March 31, 2009.
 
5. CREDITOR CONCESSIONS
 
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company entered into five agreements with certain vendors to settle accounts payable that were outstanding as of December 31, 2008 for amounts less than the liability that was recorded in the accompanying balance sheet.  As a result of these agreements liabilities of $137,052 were satisfied for revised payment terms of $53,385.  The resulting vendor concessions of $83,667 have been treated as a gain in the first quarter of 2009 which is the period that the agreements were reached.
 
6. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
 
As of March 31, 2009 the Company was authorized to issue up to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had 67,507,045 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding.

On February 6, 2009, the Company received a Notice of Conversion from Longview Special Financing Inc. requesting the conversion and issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock in payment of $2,500 in outstanding principal on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible notes. In accordance with the debt agreement, these shares were issued to Longview on March 19, 2009.

The Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock to certain consultants and debt holders. As of March 31, 2009 there were common stock warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate 162,534,651 shares of common stock respectively (excluding the shares available under the Technology Innovations LLC warrant which is described in Note 4) pursuant to various warrant grant agreements.

7. INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS

Under the Company’s 2005 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”), the Amended and Restated 2007 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and the 2008 Incentive Stock Plan (the”2008 Plan”), officers, employees, directors and consultants may be granted options to purchase the Company’s common stock at fair market value as of the date of grant. Options become exercisable over varying vesting periods commencing from the date of grant and have terms of five to ten years. The plan also provides for the granting of performance-based and restricted stock awards.  The shares of common stock underlying the plans are reserved by the Company from its authorized, but not issued common stock.

Legal Proceedings

On March 24, 2009 the Company received a demand notice from an attorney representing a group of certain former employees of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s former President and Chief Financial Officer, demanding immediate payment of $331,265 for certain deferred compensation, severance and vacation benefits. Each of the former employees cited in the demand notice, as well as other former employees, had executed written agreements during 2008 that allowed the Company to defer certain of these compensation payments. The Company is evaluating the components of this demand notice and is working to respond to this demand. Due to the Company’s current cash and liquidity position discussed above and the current evaluation of the items in the demand notice, the timing of future payment of these outstanding amounts in uncertain. The Company has accrued for earned and unused vacation benefits and deferred payroll costs for amounts electively deferred by these and other former employees in the amount of $480,453 as of December 31, 2008, which includes $261,265 of the total amount demanded by the employees included in the demand notice.

We have received certain other demands from venders for payment of outstanding balances, all of which have been included as a liability in the accompanying balance sheet.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports that we file with the SEC contain statements that are considered forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These include statements about our expectations, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” and similar expressions. Such forward looking statements include statements addressing operating performance, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to revenue realization, revenue growth, earnings, earnings per share, or similar projections. These statements estimates involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed for the reasons described in this report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
You should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors such as:

the ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of our technology;
 
the timeline for customer accreditation for product formulations;
 
our ability to enter into strategic partnering and joint development agreements;
 
our ability to competitively market our Pleximer and filled tube products;
 
the terms and timing of product sales and licensing agreements;
 
the timing and approval of filed and pending patent applications;
 
the ability to raise additional capital to fund our operating and research activities until we generate adequate cash flow from operations;
 
our ability to attract and retain key personnel and;
 
general market conditions.
 
Our actual results may differ materially from management’s expectations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements included herewith.  This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue in the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating performance in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
 
The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
 
General
Since inception, December 22, 2004 the Company has been and in 2009 we will continue to be, a development stage company. Our primary mission is to develop and exploit technologies in the area of advanced materials science, with a special emphasis on additives to polymers and other industrial and consumer products, taking advantage of technological advances we have developed in-house and licensed from third parties. These technologies include a specific focus on nanoscale materials using modifications to tubular and spherical materials found in clay. Our strategy is to develop patentable processes and technologies related to these nanoscale materials and to develop products in the polymers and plastics industries as well as the composites, cosmetics, household products and agrichemical industries. Our near-term goal is to commercialize our core technology and application processes utilizing nanotubes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $426,096 and had negative working capital of $5,667,291 and a stockholders' deficiency of $5,323,692 at March 31, 2009. Since inception the Company’s growth has been funded through combination of convertible debt from private investors and from cash advances from its former parent Technology Innovations, LLC. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing and, ultimately, to attain successful operations.
  
On April 3, 2009, the Company entered into two 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes for an aggregate borrowing of $171,126. These notes are referred to as the “2009 Promissory Notes.” As of March 31, 2009, the Company had received advances of $144,441 in connection with the 2009 Promissory Notes. The proceeds from the 2009 Promissory Notes were provided for general working capital purposes and cannot be used to redeem or make any payment on account of any securities due to the Lenders. The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in full on June 30, 2009. On April 3, 2009 the Company received the balance of the proceeds in the amount of $26,685. On April 21 and May 12, 2009, the Company entered into additional 8% Senior Secured Promissory Note for $5,000 and $15,000, respectively.

Management is actively assessing the Company's operating structure with the objective to reduce ongoing expenses, increasing sources of revenue and is negotiating the terms of additional debt or equity financing.  The Company will continually evaluate funding options including additional offerings of its securities to private and institutional investors and other credit facilities as they become available. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing alternatives might be available.
 
Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $80,052 and $129,221, respectively. The net loss generated in the first quarter of 2009 of $426,096 reflects a reduction of $1,157,407 when compared to the net loss incurred during the first quarter of 2008. Non-cash items (depreciation, amortization and the vesting of stock options) were $684,171 lower in 2009 than the prior period in 2008. The decrease in non-cash items reflects a credit during the first quarter of 2009 for stock option costs due to an increase in forfeitures and cancellations for previously granted unvested stock options resulting from to the employee turnover experienced in the first quarter of 2009. Reductions in depreciation and amortization expense reflect the asset impairment charges taken in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The Company realized lower amortization expenses relating to debt discount and deferred financing costs during the first quarter of 2009, compared with the prior year period, as a result of the extension of the amortization period to January 31, 2010 coincident with the financing received in the third quarter of 2008.

The decrease in the net loss for the three month ended March 31, 2009 reflects reduced spending in the first quarter of 2009 as the Company continues to evaluate opportunities to reduce expenses and improve its liquidity position. We expect that all spending categories will be reduced throughout 2009, although we will continue to invest in product and commercialization efforts as our cash position and liquidity allow.
 
Investing activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2209 and 2008 was $6,600 and $39,718, respectively. Our capital investment during the first quarter of 2009 reflects the buy out on a capital lease for equipments used in our research and development lab. Leasehold improvements of $39,718 made in the first quarter of 2008 relate to investments in our production and laboratory facility.

Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided from financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $126,056 and $31,897, respectively. The cash flows from financing activities in the first quarter of 2009 reflect the receipt of $144,441 in proceeds from the 8% senior secured promissory notes. During 2009, we received cash advances of $2,782 from affiliated entities for shared services agreements compared to $53,207 in 2008 representing a reduction in services used by us.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we made capital lease payments of $21,167 and $21,310, respectively.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
We believe, that of the significant accounting policies described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, the following policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity and accordingly; these policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Instruments Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) EITF 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock. EITF 07-05 applies to any free-standing financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. The adoption of EITF 07-05 had a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations as the Company has financial instruments with the characteristics which meet the definition of a derivative instrument in accordance with the provisions of this pronouncement.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company has earned nominal operating revenue since inception (December 22, 2004). This revenue was generated from funded development and the delivery of Pleximer and sample products specifically formulated for customer applications and as such has been reported as operating revenue for financial reporting purposes. The Company earns and recognizes such revenue to the extent such development activities are completed or when the shipment of the sample products has occurred and when no further performance obligation exists.

Share Based Payments
 
The Company accounts for stock option awards granted under the Plans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, (“SFAS 123(R)”). Under SFAS 123R, compensation expense related to stock based payments are recorded over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value of the awards.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

 
- 14 - -

 

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement
 
Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between income and expenses reported for financial reporting and tax reporting. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS   109”) requires that a valuation allowance be established when management determines that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets on an annual basis and any additional valuation allowances are provided or released, as necessary. Since the Company has had cumulative losses in recent years, the accounting guidance suggests that we should not look to future earnings to support the realizability of the net deferred tax asset. As a result, as of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its gross deferred tax assets to zero in accordance with SFAS 109. In addition, as of December 31, 2008 the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability of $150,189, which consists of the tax effect of the difference in the basis between GAAP and tax purposes for the beneficial conversion feature. In connection with  the Notes entered into during 2008 with the offset recorded through Additional Paid in Capital as an offset to the beneficial conversion feature. This deferred tax liability will decrease with a corresponding increase to Additional Paid in Capital as the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the term of the Notes. See Footnote 6 for further analysis.
 
As of March 31, 2009 the Company had a deferred income tax liability of $116,067, which consisted of the tax effect of the difference in basis between GAAP and tax purposes for the beneficial conversion feature in connection with the Notes entered into during August and September of 2008 with the offset recorded through additional paid-in capital as an offset to the beneficial conversion feature.  This deferred tax liability will decrease with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital as the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the term of the Notes.
 
Comparison of Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
 
Revenue and Gross Profit
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded $31,375 and $2,950, respectively in revenue from shipments of halloysite product samples. The related cost of goods sold was $1,474 and $1,443 for this sample shipments completed in the quarter. Gross margin of $ 29,901 and $1,507 was realized for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
The Company recognizes revenues through the sales and shipment of samples of Pleximer product, halloysite processing, as well as funding for development of specific applications for our proprietary halloysite technologies in consumer products and other industries.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Total research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $63,220 as compared to $635,970 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in spending on research and development reflects the staff and officer resignations in the fourth quarter of 2008.  During the first quarter of 2009, the new management has been focused on the evaluation of current technology developed and available for market introduction and the assessment of related market opportunities.  These conditions resulted in no salary or consultant related expenses during this first quarter of 2009. This staff turnover also resulted in credits for unvested stock option forfeited during the period.

Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $18,774 as compared to $361,153 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in spending on general and administrative expenses reflects the staff and officer resignations in the first quarter of 2009.  The current officers have not received compensation from the Company for the first quarter 2009 and the Company has no signed compensation agreements with these officers and as such no compensation was accrued in the first quarter of 2009. This staff turnover also resulted in credits for stock option vesting during the period. During the fourth quarter of 2008 and continuing into the first quarter of 2009, management implemented ongoing cost reductions.  Management will continue to actively assess the Company's operating structure with the objective to reduce ongoing expenses, increase sources of revenue. During the first quarter 2009 the Company received $14,865 in amended state income tax refunds for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007; and upon receipt of these refunds the Company recorded the amount as a reduction to general and administrative expenses. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company received a QETC Facilities, Operations and Training tax rebate in the amount of $257,000 from the State of New York. Upon receipt of this rebate, the Company recorded the amount as a reduction to general and administrative expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recognized asset impairment to its carrying value of its intangible assets, and as a result the amortization expense in 2009 is notably lower than the amounts recognized in 2008.

Other (Expense) Income
 
Other expense consists of interest expense on convertible and promissory notes outstanding and other debt related financing and amortization expenses considered components of interest expense for financial reporting.
 
As described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, interest expense includes the amortization of the debt discount, interest on the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, amortization of related financing costs and the registration rights obligation – of which are associated with the Initial and New Notes issuance on March 7, 2007 and September 29, 2008. Interest costs resulting from capital lease obligations and the 2009 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes are also included in Other Expense.
 
On August 1, 2008 in connection of a new financing agreement, TI agreed to cancel and forgive all principal, interest, fees and expenses accrued pursuant it Line of Credit Agreement with the Company (Note 4) thereby resulting in a reduction in interest expense in the first quarter of 2009 when compared to the prior year quarter.
 
 
Interest was earned on cash balances held at certain financial institutions during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in interest income earned reflects the decline in cash on-hand during the first quarter of 2009.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company entered into five agreements with certain vendors to settle accounts payable that were outstanding as of December 31, 2008 for amounts less than the liability that was recorded in the accompanying balance sheet.  As a result of these agreements liabilities of $137,052 were satisfied for revised payment terms of $53,385.  The resulting vendor concessions of $83,667 have been treated as a gain in the first quarter of 2009 which is the period that the agreements were reached.

During the first quarter of 2009 and in accordance with EITF 07-05, certain warrants and the embedded conversion of feature associated with the 8% convertible debt were recognized as a derivative instruments and as such were re-characterized as derivative liabilities.  SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) requires that the fair value of these liabilities be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations. The re-measurement of these derivative liabilities resulted in a charge of $8,398 during the first quarter of 2009.

ITEM 4T - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated with our management in evaluating 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 the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, and in light of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 these officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  The material weaknesses consist of an insufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with segregation of duties and ineffective controls associated with identifying and accounting for complex and non-routine transactions in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  During the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 the Company experienced the resignations in the positions of controller, Chief financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer.  These roles were filled in the first quarter of 2009 part time and contract staffing. To address the material weaknesses we performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 There can be no assurance, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

An evaluation was performed under the supervision of the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d), of whether any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the first quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(jointly and severally, the "Borrower") to Platinum Long Term Growth IV, LLC (the "Lender"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given in the Notes.
 
The Borrower has requested that the Lender forbear from exercising its various rights and remedies under the Notes and other related documents (collectively, the "Loan Documents") that may otherwise be exercised by the Lender on the date hereof, in order to provide the Borrower with additional time during which it may resolve its current financial problems.
 
The Lender is prepared to forbear from demanding payment of principal on the Notes on the Maturity Date of the Notes, or taking any other action to collect the principal amount of the Notes until the earlier of August 31, 2009 (unless extended by the Lender in its discretion) or the termination of the Forbearance Period pursuant to the terms of this Letter Agreement (such period, the "Forbearance Period"), provided the Borrower accepts and agrees to the terms, conditions and covenants set forth herein, and communicates such acceptance (by delivering a signed copy of this Letter Agreement) to the Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. on May 20, 2009; provided further it is understood that Borrower is obligated to make all interest payments required under the Notes during the Forbearance Period.
 
Upon execution by the Borrower, this letter shall be a binding agreement among the respective parties hereto (referred to as the "Letter Agreement").

2.            Amount Due. The Borrower does not contest the amounts outstanding under the Notes as set forth in the Lender's books and records (the "Outstanding Amount"). The Borrower shall also be responsible for reimbursing the Lender for all costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of legal counsel that may be incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Letter Agreement, which, if incurred, shall be added to the Outstanding Amount. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Outstanding Amount, plus interest accrued thereon, shall be due and owing upon termination of the Forbearance Period.
 
3.            No Defenses. The Borrower has no defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Lender, its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, legal representatives or affiliates (collectively, the "Lender Group"), directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected with, any transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act, or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted, or began prior to the execution of this Letter Agreement and accrued, existed, was taken, permitted or begun in accordance with, pursuant to, or by virtue of the Notes or any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Documents, or which directly or indirectly relate to or arise out of or in any manner are connected with the Notes or any of the Loan Documents; TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DEFENSES, AFFIRMATIVE OR OTHERWISE, RIGHTS OF SETOFF, RIGHTS OF RECOUPMENT, CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXIST, SUCH DEFENSES, RIGHTS, CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARE HEREBY FOREVER WAIVED, DISCHARGED AND RELEASED.

6.            Forbearance. During the Forbearance Period, the Lender agrees that it will not take any further action against the Borrower or exercise or move to enforce any other rights or remedies provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it, at law or in equity, by virtue of the occurrence and/or continuation of any default or Event of Default under the Notes existing on the date hereof, including any default relating to the Borrower's failure to maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement (the "Existing Defaults"), or take any action against any property in which the Borrower has any interest.
