ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

Nighthawk Systems, Inc. (“Nighthawk” or the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a provider of intelligent wireless power control and emergency notification products that enable the immediate and simultaneous remote activation or deactivation of equipment or display of messages, on demand. We save our customers time, effort and money by extending their reach, giving them the ability to wirelessly access and control assets and systems that may be widely dispersed or remotely located, eliminating the cost and inconvenience of sending personnel to manually perform tasks that are often unscheduled. These inexpensive and reliable products are shipped fully programmed and are ready and easy to use. Nighthawk has been selling its telemetry products to a national customer base for more than seven years.

Our power control products automate the manual process of pushing a power button, flipping a switch or plugging in/unplugging an electrical cord. A wireless signal is sent to the Nighthawk unit, which turns on or off the item or starts or stops the process, much like a household garage door opener is used. However, Nighthawk units utilize existing public and private wireless networks that cover well over 90% of the United States. The command codes can be easily generated from any telephone (landline or cellular), or via the Internet, so Nighthawk units can be placed and accessed from almost anywhere.

There is an abundance of wireline and wireless monitoring services available to companies and consumers today. Information supplied by these services typically notifies the user that something needs to be done, though the timing of that notification and the resultant required task often cannot be predicted. Nighthawk technology allows customers to avoid the time, expense and inconvenience of sending vehicles and personnel to offsite locations to perform tasks that can now be performed remotely. Nighthawk devices also lower exposure to liability claims from accidents that often occur while manually performing tasks that could otherwise be automated using Nighthawk devices.

Nighthawk power control products are intelligent – through the use of proprietary firmware, several functions can be carried out by multiple units by sending a single, short digital message. For example, a single message could be utilized to contact multiple units across the United States, instructing those units to turn on and off at various intervals, several times per day. This eliminates the need to stay in constant contact with a Nighthawk device. Nighthawk technology also enables messages to be sent wirelessly to multiple alarms and signs or printers to print or display custom messages associated with particular events. As such, Nighthawk units are a perfect fit for public or emergency notification applications.

On October 11, 2007, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Set-Top Box (“STB”) business of Eagle Broadband, Inc. (“Eagle Broadband”) for $4,750,000 in cash. The assets acquired included all accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets and intangibles. This acquisition was funded by a $6.0 million sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to Dutchess Private Equities Fund Ltd. (“Dutchess”). The Set-Top Box business designs, manufactures and markets its proprietary MediaPro IP set-top boxes. Either standalone or in conjunction with various third-party middleware software, the MediaPro set-top boxes deliver a full range of high quality, standard and high definition entertainment and information services, including IPTV and Video on Demand services, that can generate revenues for telecom service providers and the hospitality industry.

At the time of the acquisition, STB had a backlog of orders for 2,050 units from a hospitality services integrator. These orders were placed with Eagle Broadband in conjunction with a purchase agreement that had been executed between Eagle Broadband and the customer. While the customer was not obligated to make any purchases under the agreement, the agreement provided a pricing schedule for future purchases based on the customers stated need for up to 30,000 total units. This acquisition was made primarily in an effort to enhance the future cash flows of the Company based on potential inflows from the STB business, and to reduce or eliminate monthly operating cash flow deficits. Although no assurance may be given that it will be able to do so, Company management believes that this operation may be able to generate sufficient cash flows at some point during 2008 to cover the Company’s overall operating cash flow requirements, and eliminate the requirement for additional funding from third parties.

Nighthawk currently has customers in 46 states, as well as several foreign countries. Customers include, but are not limited to, more than fifty electric utilities, as well as state departments of transportation, state and municipal agencies, fire departments, wireless communications companies, digital display companies and traffic control equipment providers. Nighthawk’s customer base includes many fortune 500 enterprise accounts.

BACKGROUND

Nighthawk was formed from the 2002 merger of Peregrine Control Technologies, Inc. (“PCT”, a private Colorado company) and LSI Communications (a Nevada public shell). PCT, a paging repair company, recognized an opportunity in 1999 to supplement declining demand for its services by manufacturing control products that utilized paging technology to wirelessly control electrical appliances.

Since that time, Nighthawk has evolved from a custom job shop to a Company capable of developing, manufacturing and selling wireless telemetry solutions on a large scale basis to growing markets. Today, with a team of 11 employees, Nighthawk designs, builds and markets intelligent power control and emergency notification products that are inexpensive, reliable and can remotely control almost any device from almost any location. Its proprietary wireless products offer customers many compelling features and functionality.

NIGHTHAWK TECHNOLOGY

POWER CONTROL PRODUCTS

Nighthawk has designed and developed the PT1000, its own proprietary single board computer that is shipped preprogrammed and fully capable of interpreting wireless instructions and turning multiple devices on and off. To our knowledge, the PT1000 is the only single board device that is capable of doing so. Nighthawk has taken separate functions historically carried out by a combination of multiple circuit boards requiring customized programming and packaged it together on a single circuit board that is preprogrammed and ready for use by the customer on its arrival.

The PT1000 is connected to existing power at the customer location. This power can be traditional electric power or solar or battery power. The PT1000 utilizes this power to drive a microprocessor which interprets instructions sent wirelessly by the customer. Based on these instructions, the PT1000 can drive up to eight independent relays, allowing the customer to turn on or off eight items.

All other Nighthawk products described below are variations of the PT1000. Based on customer feedback and experience gained in selling the PT1000, Nighthawk has taken the PT1000 and modified its physical characteristics and capabilities to fit into custom enclosures that are best suited for specific, widespread applications within certain markets and industries. The broad capabilities of the PT1000 are often not needed by customers, who may want to disconnect a single device for a preset time period, and therefore have no need for the ability to manipulate up to eight relays for variable time periods. Custom enclosures enable customers to receive a true “plug and play” Nighthawk product that is ready to use out of the box for their particular application.

FIRMWARE

A key feature of the PT1000 is its operating firmware, written and owned by Nighthawk, which resides in an on-board microprocessor and is utilized to operate the PT1000. This firmware allows all necessary functions to take place on a single circuit board, reducing the size of the overall product and eliminating any programming or engineering by the customer. This on-board firmware provides the customer with an intelligent product that is capable of receiving a single wireless message consisting of only a few characters and carrying out multiple tasks. For instance, installed in a fire station, a single message sent by the 911 operator to a PT1000 could simultaneously: 1) turn on lights in the firehouse for 20 minutes; 2) sound an audible alarm for 1 minute; 3) permanently turn off an electric stove; 4) change a traffic signal to red outside of the firehouse for two minutes; 5) open a voice channel for communications with the 911 operator; 6) open the bay doors and subsequently shut them; 7) lock the doors to the firehouse; and 8) enable a security system after five minutes. Because Nighthawk products can utilize alphanumeric messages for activation, a message could also be sent to a printer giving details of the emergency, which is known as the “rip and run” feature.

Nighthawk’s firmware also allows customers to group their assets in up to 99 different groups, meaning that a single message can be used to activate multiple devices in custom groups. This feature provides for the most efficient and effective way for multiple devices at the same time, and makes Nighthawk products, particularly the emergency alerting products, the most effective mass notification tools in the market today.

Nighthawk’s PT1000 firmware is modified to operate all of its application-specific, plug and play products described below.

WIRELESS ACCESS

The Nighthawk single board computer, found in all of its products, is designed to interface with various wireless networks, whether public or private. Nighthawk currently supports applications on traditional paging networks, CDMA cellular networks, and ReFLEX narrowband PCS networks. Nighthawk is developing new wireless interfaces that will allow Nighthawk products to be deployed on spread-spectrum networks such as commercial grade WiFi/WiMAX networks and mesh networks that support new protocols such as Zigbee. These interfaces will open up a greater marketplace for Nighthawk to penetrate. It is Nighthawk’s desire to produce a product that is agnostic to wireless protocols to support as many applications as possible, regardless of the type of network utilized or maintained by the customer.

However, Nighthawk should not be defined by the wireless method used to touch its products remotely but by the applications performed by remotely switching power. The simplicity of a being able to remotely cycle power at a moment’s notice presents Nighthawk with many high density device opportunities. Most customers care about the ability to turn something on or off at a moment’s notice – they care much less about how it is done, as long as it is affordable. Some companies desire telemetry solutions, but are paralyzed by the fear of choosing a wireless technology that may become outdated with the next advance in wireless technology.

Nighthawk is nimble enough to create custom wireless interfaces that can meet the specific application needs of its customers. This positions Nighthawk not only as a manufacturer but a solutions partner, leading to the opportunity to sell multiple products to the same customer over long periods of time.

During 2007, Nighthawk developed its Utility WebConnect^TM software platform. Nighthawk electric utility customers that purchase this service are able to access the program, which is hosted on a Nighthawk-owned server, to use to manage and activate their Nighthawk units. The software program contains a database of all of the customer’s units, and allows the customers to “point and click” to access the units instead of dialing a phone number and manually entering in instructions. Passwords, codes and relevant instructions are encoded into the platform, making Nighthawk’s CEO700 much easier to manage and use. The database is interfaced to the proper wireless network, so the customer never sees or communicates directly to the underlying wireless services carrier that is utilized for their units. During 2008, Nighthawk plans to extend this service, under a different name, to non-utility customers using other Nighthawk power control products.

MARKETS AND PRODUCTS

We believe the success that Nighthawk has enjoyed over the past two years in gaining traction in its core markets has the Company well positioned to take advantage of surging demand for Machine to Machine (“M2M”) related products. There are more than 50 billion machines inhabiting the planet today (Source: Wofgang Grulke, Chairman of Future World), and technology experts such as Forrester Research have predicted that “There will be more invisibly connected machines and physical objects than visible humans from 2005 onward.” Historically, M2M communication technology has been referred to by many names, such as telemetry, pervasive internet, remote monitoring and telemanagement. Simply put, M2M technologies enable communication, wired and wireless, between two electric devices. The outlook for the M2M marketplace varies by source, but overall the outlook is extremely positive over the next five years. Some examples include the following:

“By 2007, there will be between 100 million and 160 million machine-to-machine connections worldwide that use wireless mobile phone networks.” (Source: Gartner Group)

“Machine-to-machine communications could grow by 49% per year until 2010, with revenues surpassing $270 billion and more than 100 billion objects communicating wirelessly.” (Source: IDATE)

“The M2M market is expected to grow to $270 billion by 2010 as industries look to harness today’s massive computing power and apply it to everyday electronic devices.” (Source: Ray Jones, head of IBM’s Sensors and Actuators division)

While the number of potential uses of Nighthawk products across many markets is virtually unlimited, Nighthawk has historically focused on three primary markets: electric utilities, wireless service providers and transportation/emergency notification. Each has differing needs, but the applications in these markets are all characterized not only by the need to save the time and/or money associated with a problem that they know will occur, but also the inability to predict exactly when that problem will occur. Within each of these markets, Nighthawk has identified recurring, common problems that its technology can eliminate or resolve. In an effort to provide the least expensive, easiest to use products for these applications, Nighthawk has simplified the capabilities of its PT1000 control board described above, and created a plug and play product in a standard enclosure that is ready to use upon delivery to the customer. The units arrive fully programmed specifically for the application that they are being purchased for.

The most basic M2M application today is the need to be able to control power to devices in order to turn them on, off, or cycle power to them. This basic functionality is at the core of every Nighthawk device and application.

ELECTRIC UTILITIES

As energy prices continue to soar, utility providers are increasingly searching for technologies and products that will facilitate the optimal distribution of power and effectively lower costs associated with doing business. Slowly but surely, state and federal agencies are pushing the burden of energy conservation and near real-time reconnection of previously delinquent energy accounts onto the utility provider and their customers as well. Within the utility industry, Nighthawk’s whole house disconnect product (CEO700) and load-control units (PT1LC) have been extremely well-received in recent years and are gaining increased traction.

CEO700

Ideal for troubled accounts, seasonal use buildings, student apartment complexes, and remote safety disconnect, the CEO700 is a completely integrated wireless remote power connect/disconnect package that does not interfere with automated meter reading (“AMR”) programs.

The CEO700 provides a significant Return on Investment (“ROI”) case for utility customers due to its ability to greatly reduce costs and security concerns associated with manually deploying field technicians in order to disconnect and reconnect service to a particular customer.

In many cases, a utility provider will make up to three visits to a delinquent paying customer. The utility provider will typically send field personnel once, to warn the customer of upcoming disconnection, a second time to disconnect power, and a third to reconnect power once payment is made. Hard costs associated with this process range from $20 to $250 per visit depending on a number of factors such as customer location and number of utility personnel deployed to execute a particular task. In many cases, more than one service technician must be deployed at one time due to concerns for the employee’s well-being. Nighthawk products are ideal for this application due to their ability to allow for the remote connect/disconnect of energy for delinquent accounts as well as for seasonal residences which may require multiple visits each year and customers in remote rural locations.

ROI for this application is quite easy to calculate by simply multiplying the total number of off-cycle trips taken each year to execute related tasks by the average cost of each visit.

A 2004 survey of 118 utilities conducted by utility industry research firm Chartwell Inc. found that only 3% of electric utilities had adopted a remote disconnect technology, but more than 50% of electric utilities planned-to-use, or were considering using technologies that would allow for the remote connect/disconnect of energy meters. Additional findings from the report estimate that approximately 2.3% of the United States’ electric meters were individually disconnected and reconnected on more than four occasions resulting in estimated costs of nearly $1.2 billion dollars for utility providers. Nighthawk was one of the few companies providing remote wireless disconnect solutions back in 2004. Due to its expertise and experience in deploying wireless remote control solutions, and the number of electric utilities that have already successfully implemented remote disconnect programs using the CEO700, Nighthawk is extremely well-positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities within the utilities industry.

PT1LC

Load control programs are commonly put in place at electric utilities to avoid power shortages within their grids during peak demand periods and the need to purchase expensive energy on the spot market. Designed for utility load control programs, the PT1LC remote control switch uses wireless signals from commercial and private networks for wide area control of residential and commercial loads. Northern utilities typically install load control devices on electric hot water heaters, while Southern utilities typically place them on air conditioners.

Nighthawk solutions enable utility providers to save energy, shift power, and manage power more efficiently by remotely controlling the “on” and “off” functions of thousands of electric devices. For example, a utility provider can utilize the “group call” function of Nighthawk’s one-way communication system to transmit a digital message that would disconnect 10,000 air conditioning units for 10 minutes in order to save energy, reconnect energy to the initial 10,000 units, and then disconnect power to another 10,000 air conditioning units in another area of the organization’s power grid. The Nighthawk solution is also capable of activating or de-activating all or some of the units in a particular power grid and is able to dictate how long particular units will be shutdown manually or remotely, all with a click of a mouse.

Nighthawk currently serves more than 50 electric utility customers in 23 states, and continues to view the utility market as the largest near-term source of revenues. As Utilities continue to expand automation and decrease manpower, Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and Remote Disconnect are becoming important parts of a utility company’s strategy. While AMR systems have been offered for over 20 years, it is only in the last 3 to 4 years that they have become commonplace. The same is being seen now for remote disconnect.

The North American Electrical Utilities currently consists of 3,300 utilities serving approximately 120 million end customers. Of the 3,300 Utilities only the top 500 serve more then 20,000 customers with the remaining 2,800 representing small population centers, typically in rural areas. Nighthawk currently focuses on solutions for the high cost accounts that require excessive utility resources to manage. While the need to manage these accounts has always been an issue, two key factors have significantly raised its visibility. Those factors are deregulation, which will make it increasingly difficult for utilities to absorb these costs, and the availability of a viable cost effective solution.

Deregulation has forced new awareness of costs that may have been previously ignored. In a regulated market it was much easier of a utility to summarize all of their costs, including those associated with problem accounts, and present this to the local board of public utilities to justify a service rate that would still return them a profit. In essence, these bad accounts were subsidized by the good accounts in the utilities service area. Deregulation and subsequent competition have forced a change in the way this is managed.

Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) has also brought with it a renewed interest in the metering aspect of the business. Utilities are looking for ways to gather better information about customer demand other then the monthly consumption total. AMR will allow the users to gather information from meters at any point in time, to offer variable billing schemes to promote usage in non-peak hours and for immediate outage notification.

The pace of technology deployment continues to escalate as utilities are now looking even beyond AMR to Advanced Meter Intelligence (AMI). AMI will offer tools to the utility to not only read the meter but to offer Time of Use rates that will vary during the day as demand nears the capacity a utility has to deliver power and more importantly the ability to control loads. AMI will incorporate

two-way communications with sizable bandwidth, meters with a disconnect switch incorporated under the glass, and Zigbee local RF communication. While this will likely impact our opportunities for disconnect at large investor-owned utilities, it will open up a much larger opportunity for both utility and customer-controlled load management products. The electric utility will most likely evolve into a communications portal, capable of communicating with other energy consuming devices on the customer’s premise and reporting usage and billing information to the utility on a more frequent basis.

The opportunities for Nighthawk in the Utility market will vary. We believe we will continue to see the increasing demand for the CEO wholehouse disconnect products as part of or in some cases as the primary strategy for cost reduction. We will also, however, see a dramatically expanded market potential for load shed devices as AMI takes hold. Nighthawk holds a potentially valuable position in this arena because of the abilities of the PT1000, which can be utilized to control multiple appliances from a single device, and with a single message. Nighthawk is the only company, to our knowledge, whose primary business has been turning on and off multiple devices that may lie beyond the meter on the customer’s premise.

WIRELESS SERVICE PROVIDERS

The proliferation of wireless, IP-based communication networks (WiFi and WiMax) has created a growing need for the ability to control remotely located digital equipment, primarily routers. The devices are plagued by software and hardware ‘lockups’ due to poor power availability, static, viruses, etc. Routers, as well as other digital equipment such as cameras or servers, are often placed at retail sites such as strip malls where the power glitches are frequent, or outside on poles where they are subject to weather changes and static electricity that can affect their performance. The very nature of IP-based equipment makes it susceptible to ‘trash’ from the Internet which may hinder its performance. Industry experts have stated that over 80% of computer-related issues can be solved through a simple equipment reboot.

Nighthawk solutions are valued in this market because they provide an “out-of-band” control solution. While numerous IP-based control solutions exist, the ability to reach those control solutions is sometimes negated by the fact that the IP network itself is unavailable. The value of such an out-of-band solution was evidenced by the order of over 3,000 Nighthawk rebooting devices by Mercury Online Solutions (now owned and operated by 3M) in order to control power to thousands of digital display kiosks for AT&T Wireless. The Nighthawk solutions are also valued in this market because on-call technicians can access the units from almost anywhere via a telephone (landline or cellular), and do not have to have Internet access in order to command the unit to reboot.

The products that have been developed and deployed for this market segment include:

NH100

The NH100 allows a user to remotely control power to any device that can be plugged into a standard household outlet. It can be accessed from a telephone, and come programmed with a power cycling function that allows the user to call it once, and have the unit power down and subsequently power up a device. As such, the unit is often used to reboot routers. The preset timing for the power cycle is one minute, but the interval can be increased or decreased through commands sent over the telephone. The NH100’s smaller size and its ability to incorporate an external antenna make it perfect for inclusion with telecom equipment in an enclosure on a pole or tower. To our knowledge, the NH100 is the only commercially available wireless rebooting unit available today.

NH8

Designed with the ISP, Data Center, or computer user in mind, the NH8 also allows the user to reboot locked up equipment remotely. However, with 8 individual time-delay programmable 15-amp outlets, customers using the NH8 are capable of full power-off reboots of eight different devices. The NH8 comes standard in a 19” rack mount, 2U form factor.

TRANSPORTATION/EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION

Because Nighthawk products allow the easy and immediate activation of single or multiple devices, they are often used to activate sirens and alarms. Their ability to receive and display or print messages also has them well positioned for use in a wide variety of traffic control and emergency notification applications. The extremely low power drain of the Company’s PT1000 makes it a perfect solution for remote signage and alarm applications, where the amount of power available is limited, often coming from solar panels or batteries.

Nighthawk solutions enable the remote activation of intermittent warning signs such as “ICY ROAD” and “LOW VISIBILITY AHEAD” and also allow the customer to remotely manage weigh station accessibility and activate processes such as bridge de-icing systems. The PT1000 is commonly used as an affordable method of activating flashing beacon signs used in conjunction with weather warnings, construction and highway advisory radio systems. The Company plans to grow this segment of its business over the next few years as demand for product continues to grow.

Because the Company’s products enable on-demand activation of alarms and signs, as well as the ability to push a message through to a printer or digital display, the company views the civil defense industry as a key area for future growth and has solutions in the development and completed stages that will interface with existing emergency notification systems in order to optimally notify all necessary parties of a potential natural disaster/emergency.

The majority of first responders across the United States are fire/EMS departments. According to the National Directory of Fire Chiefs there are 28,921 fire departments with a total number of firefighters at 939,473. There are an additional 451,424 emergency personnel. The majority of these departments are small and 71% are strictly volunteer. Many of these fire stations need upgrades to the existing systems to address the ever-growing need for reliability, quick response and accuracy. These upgrades include:

Firehouse Automation & Alerting

Volunteer Alerting

Public Emergency Notification

EMS Automation & Alerting

Weather/Threatening Incident Alerting

Emergency notification is most commonly associated with the efforts undertaken by all levels of government, such as state and federal departments of transportation, and first responders to improve communication networks after September 11, 2001. However, there are emergencies that occur daily that require timely and accurate dissemination of information and alerts like fire station alarms, weather sirens and amber alerts. Nighthawk products currently address the growing needs of public and private sectors to deploy communication solutions that will provide timely, accurate and responder-specific warnings, messages or instructions in times of crisis in order to save lives, maximize public safety and expedite emergency response.

Emergency notification is a rapidly developing marketplace where officials at all levels of government and industry are responding to the demand for improved emergency notification networks. They are concerned about the timeliness and accuracy of emergency messaging and are looking for solutions that are responsive to these needs. Although this market has grown much more slowly than the need suggests, state and local governmental agencies have now begun to spend money for system upgrades and new systems.

We believe a reason Nighthawk has become a preferred solution is that our emergency notification products work seamlessly with most CAD systems, particularly with Motorola, due to the ability of CAD systems delivering TAP (Telecator Alpha Protocol) messaging for alpha/numeric paging. TAP is one of the earliest protocols for alpha/numeric paging to hit the commercial subscriber paging industry dating back to the early 1980’s. TAP is accepted universally on an international basis. Some of the applications for which first responders integrate the Nighthawk products into their CAD systems include early warning systems for civil defense, tsunami sirens, lighting detection systems, and tornado sirens. In addition, we have other products deployed for this market segment to include:

FAS8

The FAS8, which is a modified PT1000 placed in a custom enclosure for easy placement in a firehouse, is currently the flagship product for firehouse automation. It is capable of activating up to 8 electric devices within a firehouse or any other facility simultaneously or individually. If additional devices require management, the user simply deploys another Nighthawk unit. In firehouse environments, where hearing and understanding human verbal commands is extremely difficult with the presence of excessive noise, Nighthawk products are able to activate and de-activate a number of critical devices such as public address systems, wake-up alarms, bay door control systems, emergency lighting systems and electric stoves. The FAS8 enables the simultaneous transmission of a digital message to a serial printer within a firehouse directly from the 911 system operator. By transmitting valuable information related to the type of emergency at hand, location of the emergency, and driving directions to a serial printer, the Nighthawk solution essentially creates a “rip and run” environment where emergency personnel simply need to wake-up, get dressed, and collect a document from the printer while exiting the station for an emergency.

EA1

Designed with rural and smaller urban volunteer fire districts in mind, the EA1 is the perfect solution for alerting fire fighters at the station or volunteers in their homes. The EA1 will activate a built-in audible alarm and any 15 amp electrical device such as a lamp that is plugged into the faceplate outlet. At the same time, it can print out instructions to the firefighter. Other options include a strobe light and digital message delivery to an LED sign or a printer. The Company has recently begun receiving inquiries into using the EA1 for in-factory emergency notification.

EAU

The Emergency Alert Unit (“EAU”) serves multiple purposes within the broader emergency notification market. It serves primarily as a more effective method of alerting large groups of people in public locations or security offices of public facilities. In this application, the EAU is generally desk or wall mounted and is installed in high-traffic locations or security offices. When paged from

dispatch, the device will emit an unmistakable audible alarm and activate a scrolling message on the LED sign. The EAU is the Company’s newest product for emergency notification of the general public and customers indicate it will be used for a variety of emergency situations such as extreme weather, chemical spills, and terrorist threats.

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT/PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS

As a result of increased exposure of our products across all of our markets, Nighthawk often receives requests for products to solve new problems in various markets. To date, Nighthawk has been careful to consider only requests that utilize its core technology and that may lead to additional sales opportunities across a large market. For example, Nighthawk has developed the Hydro 1, a remote control product for commercial irrigation managers and water utilities. The development the Hydro 1 was paid for entirely by a grant from the State of New Mexico’s Water Innovation Fund.

Nighthawk continues to take steps to ensure that it meets the needs of its target markets and customers. In order to be responsive to customer requests and to take advantage of commercial opportunities, the Company hired a Director of Engineering and Product Development in October 2006. This individual brings to Nighthawk more than 20 years of expertise in networks, protocols, embedded devices and advanced wireless technologies. He has integrated wireless devices with enterprise systems in the United States, Canada, Europe and South America. As revenues continue to grow and the customer base expands, Nighthawk will hire, or engage on a contract basis, additional engineering resources to provide ongoing product development, and pre- and post-sales support. During 2006 and 2007, the Company expensed approximately $101,160 and $53,950, respectively, on research and development efforts.

One area of current focus is the consumer market for remote power control and emergency notification products for both personal and residential uses that are just now beginning to emerge. Historically, most consumers have thought of remote control in a recreational sense, such as turning on or off a television or stereo. However, Nighthawk products take remote power control to new levels as they provide ways to save money and lower the risk of liability by replacing processes that require human intervention with processes that can be controlled remotely. Opportunities exist for companies that provide intelligent wireless solutions both with respect to remote power control, but also emergency notification into the home. Through strategic relationships, Nighthawk intends to enter this marketplace with consumer-centric products.

During 2007, the Company began implementing a plan to consolidate its capabilities used in the PT1000, NH100 and CEO700 onto a single circuit board. Historically, Nighthawk has used separate printed circuit boards for each of these products, its most commonly sold products. During 2008, the Company expects to begin utilizing a single printed circuit board design that is not only capable of meeting the needs of the applications that typically require Nighthawk products, but that will have enhanced capabilities as well. Utilizing one common board will allow Nighthawk to order a larger quantity of the boards from manufacturers at a lower per-board price, in spite of having increase functionality on the board. This board will also be capable of hosting several different wireless radios that utilize both one-way (Pocsag and Flex paging) and two-way (ReFlex, Cellular and Zigbee) protocols.

PATENTS PENDING

During 2006 and 2007, the Company decided to abandon efforts to obtain two patents on power control products that had been underway for over 5 years. Rather than continuing to pursue and incur costs related to those efforts, management has decided to pursue the development of next-generation products that it feels will be more proprietary in nature and more easily patented.

COMPETITION

Competition is found in each of the vertical markets where Nighthawk has a presence although in most instances, the competitor’s devices operate on completely separate communications platforms. It is interesting to note that most of these competitors provide solutions for a single industry rather than applying their knowledge and technology to other applications. Competition is more defined in the utility industry as there are multiple companies offering similar or more technologically-advanced products.

Competition in the emergency notification industry continues to evolve as the Department of Homeland Security and its regional, state and local offices struggle to determine how to improve their capabilities and identify budgets to support needed upgrades. While this is being resolved, Nighthawk’s Advisors are working to position the Company so that its products will be among those utilized by agencies at all levels of government rather than other competitors products.

From a rebooting perspective, the industry terminology for remote reboot applications is telemanagement applications. The telemanagement market place is a billion dollar industry. The industry standard for remote reboot applications is IP-based solutions. IP based rebooting solutions are very robust in terms of multilayer applications for monitoring and needs. IP-based solutions also provide two-way communication via IP/WAN/LAN connectivity. IP solutions can be deployed on many different network configurations such as LAN, WAN, WiFi, and other wireless networks. IP-based solutions can monitor power and network connectivity for routers, servers, and other equipment that may need a power cycle to reboot/reset/remotely control the equipment for simple power on/off applications. The biggest advantage of an IP-based solution is the ability to do a soft reboot for computer servers that may need to shut down mission critical applications before a hard power cycle where the server is turned off before being powered back up. Another major advantage

with an IP-based solution is the ability for two-way communication for data acquisition. Two-way will allow the products to be automated through network application software (off-the-shelf or customized) so functions/data acquisition can be performed by criteria programmed into the application-based software to meet the IP requirements/needs.

There also are several disadvantages to an IP-based solution that have many IT departments looking for new “out-of-band” solutions. The main problem with an IP-based solution is that the solution rides their existing network infrastructure. This presents some challenges when the device is behind a router that is down. In this example, the IT department will need to perform a manual reboot which could mean that a field technician will need to simply walk across a room or campus to perform a manual reboot or it could mean that an IT department will need to “roll” a truck to fix the problem. Based on input from customers, this cost is estimated anywhere from $50 to $500 to perform the simple function of powering down/powering up a router or server. The other challenge for IT departments is that they have to be on-line to touch the IP devices. Technicians do not always have access to the internet to access their devices when they are in need of a power cycle.

Nighthawk devices can remedy both of these situations because they ride on a wireless network providing an “out-of-band” solution with access 24/7 whether or not the device sits behind a router that may be down. Technicians can also access Nighthawk devices via traditional land line telephone services and cellular phones services. The benefits to the IT professional that an “out-of-band” solution provides include lowering costs to maintain products in the field due to lower labor and vehicle costs because the service call is handled remotely. In addition, it provides quicker response time to bring a network back up resulting in less down time to LAN/WAN/WiFi networks. For Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) this is an invaluable solution because it means less down time for their subscribers.

Here is the landscape of what Nighthawk faces in the realm of competition:

Utility Competition

Comverge and Cannon Technologies advertise that they provide complete, end-to-end solutions for utility load management. Their services are expensive and must be engineered into the utility’s network. Both of these organizations have worked hard to position themselves as part of major AMI or load management schemes. Comverge operates several systems where they have deployed equipment at their own cost and collect revenue by offering Peak Shaving during times of high demand. In addition, Comverge has positioned themselves with several major OEMs such as Cellnet to offer a load shed option along with standard AMR to meet the newly formed demands of AMI.

BLP is a provider of paging-based control boards and represents the closest direct competitor to Nighthawk. BLP offers both Flex and POCSAG paging technologies combined with a network software solution. Excluding Centerpoint, BLP has in excess of 5,000 units operating in the field. Currently however, BLP‘s efforts have been redirected and their focus is not on the utility market.

Carina Technology offers several solutions for two-way remote disconnect focusing on CDMA technology. The two-way feature of their products have gained them good attention from major IOU’s however it also comes with a relatively high cost. They also promote outage management and Pre payment features although we are not aware of any utilities deploying these products to date.

Telemetric is a small, yet active competitor within the Electric Utilities market, but their product is more expensive due to the fact that it utilizes cellular technology, and it also does not offer the coverage that paging does.

Emergency Notification Competition

Motorola has historically been active in all phases of technology related to public safety. They are a major producer of two-way radios, computer-aided dispatch systems (CAD), and historic two-tone alerting systems. Motorola has developed a variety of cutting edge products for dispatch centers, CAD systems, radio based alerting and fire equipment communications. For Nighthawk’s purposes, Motorola can be described as the best type of competition. Their products are very expensive and generally do more than what most fire departments need or can afford. Their focus on two-way radios and CAD systems is actually complementary to the Nighthawk suite of products.

The Emergency Broadcast System, which utilizes sirens to direct people to turn into specific radio and TV stations for information are effective for those that hear them. The great limitation for cities that have siren systems is that the activation of them means only one thing to the population and that generally is tornado warning. The siren simply cannot communicate any other message. In limited cases, communities surrounding nuclear plants would understand that the siren carries a very different message. New siren systems are being deployed that have very loud voice commands detailing the nature of the emergency. This is effective as long as you can hear the message clearly. Siren systems are not an effective or efficient method of alerting rural citizens or those in less densely populated areas. Today few siren systems exist that are outside tornado or tsunami prone areas.

Reverse 911 systems are effective as long as a person answers the phone and understands the message. The major limits to this method are that only people near relevant phones get the message. Also a complete community wide notification takes significant time. Other message based notification systems only alert those that are on a specific list.

Firehouse Automation

WestNet Systems, a California-based company has recently entered the firehouse notification market with a central microprocessor-based alerting center accompanied by a suite of peripheral firehouse products. These include lights, wake up alarms, digital displays and wiring kits. WestNet has concentrated primarily on what happens within the house and is not focused on the communications medium. They have a very impressive appearance and have invested heavily in marketing. Sales appear to be doing very well and the company appears to be benefiting significantly from strong marketing initiatives. However, the product is expensive and by our estimation Nighthawk will compete well and be able to gather a significant market share.

Telemanagement/Remote Reboot Competition

DataProbe manufactures a product called iBoot. The iBoot solution includes several models for Single Point (iBoot) and Multi-point (iBootBar) applications. The iBoot solution supports both AC/DC power requirements. However, customers have switched to Nighthawk to gain an out-of-band solution. In addition, they were unhappy with the iBoot because often times it reboots itself with no commands from a technician.

Western Telematic is another major competitor in this field. They are one of the largest manufactures in the industry for rebooting solutions. Western Telematic manufactures single and multipoint solutions that support AC/DC power requirements.

Nighthawk is confident that current devices it has or will develop will provide the much sought after “out-of-band” solution.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

During 2007, Nighthawk decided to focus the majority of its sales and marketing efforts in the electric utility industry, primarily on sales of its CEO700 product. This is because sales of the Company’s CEO700’s are typically higher-volume sales as opposed to sales of other Nighthawk products, and management determined that sales and marketing dollars spent in this area were more likely to produce better returns for each dollar spent.

Following is an outline of the current and future sales and marketing strategies:

Sales Strategy -- External

In efforts to contain personnel costs, Nighthawk has an extended outside salesforce through resellers and agents that have been engaged to represent all Nighthawk products. These categories of representatives are defined as such:

Electric Utility Resellers and Distributors – Nighthawk’s Vice President, Utility Division, hired in October 2006, spent significant time throughout 2007 establishing a network of regional resellers and distributors that have had longstanding relationships with electric utility companies. These resellers and distributors are typically paid a commission on each sale brought to Nighthawk, although some are provided product at a wholesale price and are allowed to mark up the selling price to the end customer. The effort in 2007 was to bring in larger unit sales utilizing this network.

Paging Resellers – Companies such as paging carriers that are willing to identify opportunities within their customer base and potential new customers. With minimal support from Nighthawk, these companies are capable of closing the sale of our products. Once the order is received, the reseller orders the products from Nighthawk and bills the customer directly. In addition, if customer service is needed, the customer will contact the reseller initially. Currently, Nighthawk is actively engaged with American Messaging, one of the largest paging carriers in the United States. Nighthawk also has agreements with over 10 regional and local paging companies.

Agents – Companies such as electrical equipment distributors that are willing to identify opportunities within their customer base. Most often times, a Nighthawk sales representative becomes very involved in the sales process for the initial and subsequent orders. These customers are billed directly by Nighthawk and will call directly to Nighthawk for customer service support. Currently Nighthawk has formal agreements with 5 of the largest electrical wholesale distributors in the United States.

Sales Strategy -- Internal

Inside sales representatives are responsible for:

Cold call follow-up (lists and timing based on marketing activities)

Mining the existing Nighthawk database

Web inquiries

Referrals

Call-ins

Making Webinar presentations

Currently, the inside sales representatives are responsible for understanding and presenting the Nighthawk products in all three vertical markets on which Nighthawk focuses: utilities, emergency notification/public safety, and IT/telecommunications. Pricing tiers have been tested to determine the most viable threshold to garner higher quantity sales while producing healthy profit margins.

Dependent upon the size of the opportunity, the sales person either closes the sale over the phone or engages a senior Nighthawk representative to continue the conversation. If the potential customer is interested in a pilot program, the inside sales representative has the ability to secure a minimal order for the program within any industry to which Nighthawk markets its products. It has been found that to substantially increase the orders from a specific customer following a successful pilot program, a face-to-face meeting is required. This meeting is currently conducted by Nighthawk senior executives and/or the direct sales representative in the utility market which has proven to be very successful.

Understanding that Nighthawk has customers that will only order a limited number of devices, usually for rebooting, because they only have a need for a few devices, these efforts will continue to be a focus for the inside sales representatives. Although these opportunities are limited, they are provided the same customer service and follow up communication so as to gain referrals, if possible.

In addition to the inside sales effort, Nighthawk utilizes the expertise of its Vice President, Utility Products Division to focus on the growth of the utility business. He is very knowledgeable in the utility industry bringing with him strong contacts, relationships, and information concerning opportunities in the marketplace. He will be responsible for designing and managing a reseller network with the United States for the Company’s utility products.

As sales continue to grow, additional sales representatives, both inside and industry-specific direct, will be added to the Nighthawk staff. In addition, a sales coordinator will become paramount in Nighthawk’s sales efforts by managing the sales order process, production updates and customer follow-up, so that the salespeople can focus on generating revenue.

CUSTOMER CARE

At the heart of the Nighthawk sales strategy, both currently and in the future, is customer care. This is a very high priority and includes a follow-up process on closed orders for which the sales representative:

confirms ship dates with production;

informs the customer of ship date via e-mail and/or telephone;

contacts the customer to confirm receipt of the product and answer any questions within 3 days of the expected delivery date;

contacts the customer to see if they have installed the product and poll their satisfaction two weeks following delivery of the product;

contacts the customer to see how the products are working and determine incremental needs within sixty days following delivery of the product; and

continue to touch base with the customer at least every 90 days to continue building a relationship with them.

CURRENT MARKETING STRATEGY

Nighthawk utilizes a customer relationship management (“CRM”) tool to gather and cultivate better information for the company to ultimately enhance sales efforts and achieve sales goals. By collecting data on potential customers in as much detail as possible, the process of marketing to these prospects becomes more efficient and cost-effective. In addition, tracking potential sales opportunities becomes more succinct allowing for senior management to determine the most effective team sales effort to meet and exceed the company goals. Salesforce.com, an internet-based CRM tool, is currently utilized to allow Nighthawk personnel in the San Antonio, Dallas, Denver and New Jersey offices the ability to share information in one centralized database.

The current marketing programs being executed with a strategic follow-up plan is measured for success utilizing the CRM tool. Marketing activities include:

TRADE SHOWS

Display at industry-specific trade shows for the utility and public safety sectors – at least 6 national and 6 regional shows

Provide on-going support for Resellers/Agents at trade shows providing customized materials and attendance by Nighthawk representatives to promote our products

Follow-up on leads gathered at trade shows is conducted through written communications sent via mail or e-mail. All mailings/e-mailings are timed to allow our inside sales representatives the opportunity to follow up with a phone call in a reasonable amount of time.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

New marketing communication vehicles have been developed to re-brand and strengthen the Nighthawk image thus building a stronger, more recognizable brand. Critical elements of this function are:

Website -- The appearance, quality and operability of the web site is of paramount importance. Currently in progress is development of a search engine optimization plan that will be implemented beginning in the second quarter of 2008. This critical element is key to the growth of the rebooting market for which most of Nighthawk customers seek out its solution over the internet as they are IT decision makers. Visitors of the Nighthawk website, www.nighthawksystems.com, can request additional information concerning featured products. All web inquiries feed directly into the Nighthawk CRM tool allowing for immediate follow-up for which we have about an 80% close rate for these leads.

Print Advertising – Half-page ads that are relevant to the targeted audience are placed in industry-specific publications based on editorial content. Additional distribution of the publications in which Nighthawk advertises occurs at trade shows at which we exhibit. The purpose for advertising is to drive traffic to the newly-designed website and continue to strengthen brand presence in key industries. In addition, the print publications gather leads from its readers that are provided to Nighthawk for follow-up.

Direct Mail/E-mail – Event-specific and industry-specific direct mail campaigns are utilized to introduce Nighthawk products, follow up on leads, re-engage old customers, and build brand awareness. Pertinent lists are identified and pulled based on availability on the Internet or through purchase of existing organization lists. The inside sales representatives then follow up in a reasonable time frame to discuss the mailing and inquire about product interest.

Internet Product Features – Product placement on industry-specific websites will be utilized to gather new leads. In addition to the search engine optimization efforts, the hosts of these websites execute their own campaigns for which Nighthawk will benefit. The placements feature product photos, deployment examples and product information.

Webinars - for both training sales representatives and assisting in selling Nighthawk products. A large number of customers or sales agents can be reached through Webinars making our flow of information more efficient while cutting travel expenses.

ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP

Nighthawk executives participate on key association committees such as the Emergency Communications Committee for the American Association of Paging Carriers (AAPC) which provides continuous exposure to key players in targeted industries. Membership in these associations provides Nighthawk with access to the other members to promote its products and identify potential resellers.

Expansion of our marketing efforts to more clearly reinforce Nighthawk as an industry expert in wireless remote control devices are currently being developed to include:

Quarterly Newsletter

Customer Survey for the development of case studies and opportunity to ask for referrals

Speaking Engagements within speakers’ bureaus and at conferences/trade shows for Nighthawk senior management

Round table discussions hosted by Nighthawk for senior-level executives (as a stand-alone event or in conjunction with a larger event as a sponsorship)

SET-TOP BOX (“STB”) PRODUCTS

MARKETS AND PRODUCTS

Nighthawk designs, manufactures and markets the MediaPro IP5000HD and the MediaPro IP3000HD set-top boxes. The STB’s deliver full video and computing functionality in a compact footprint in a very quiet, fanless package that enables a wide range of on demand, IP-based applications including high speed Internet access, streaming IP video, digital audo/music, video on demand, 3D gaming, video conferencing and more. Either standalone or in conjunction with various third-party middleware software, the STB products deliver a full range of high quality, standard and high definition entertainment and information services that can generate revenues to hotel and casino owners, as well as to telecom service providers, hospitals, apartment/condominium owners, schools and

other similar entities. The STB’s also enable telecommunication service providers to deliver IP-based broadband and television services to their customers. Currently, the Company’s primary market is the hospitality industry, which is in the midst up upgrading in-room video and television services technology.

The IP5000HD was the Company’s original high definition STB and is an MPEG-2 high definition hospitality box with a hard drive and IPTV PVR (Personal Video Recorder) capabilities. To the Company’s knowledge, it was the first high definition IP set top box on the market to ship and be deployed in volume when it was installed at a major Las Vegas hotel in mid-2005. The IP5000HD was designed to be a high-end, premium unit that would command a premium price, because it includes a complete Intel-based PC (running either Windows XP or Linux), as well as set-top box functionality capable of delivering a full range of video, Internet and other interactive services which hotels are increasingly demanding to satisfy the needs of their guests. The IP5000 includes Intel-based PC infrastructure, so it is a more expensive unit to manufacture than the newer System-On-a-Chip STB’s, such as the IP3000HD model described below, which combine both graphics processing and computing processing into a single chip architecture. While the IP5000HD is currently being sold in hospitality markets, it’s also in the early stages of exploiting a secondary market opportunity as an IPTV PVR STB. This secondary market for the IP5000HD is expected to continue until its PVR capability is superseded by a modified version of the IP3000 in which we expect add a hard drive to go after the IPTV PVR market more cost effectively.

The IP3000HD, Nighthawk’s newest STB, is a leading-edge MPEG-2 / MPEG-4 high definition box which debuted at the June 2007 HiTec Hospitality Technology Show. It offers an Opera browser and Java Script capabilities allowing servers to dynamically download applications to run remotely on the box.

Since its acquisition of the STB business on October 11, 2007, Nighthawk has been selling the IP3000HD to one of the largest providers of hospitality broadband services whose installations total over 500,000 rooms in over 3,000 hotels worldwide under the terms of an agreement that provides per unit pricing for in excess of 25,000 units.

A number of major network integrators that supply in-room entertainment systems to the hospitality industry are potential Nighthawk STB customers. The IP3000HD and the IP5000HD give Nighthawk enough flexibility to cover the wide variety of needs of the lower to upper tier hotel and casino properties throughout the world in an economic fashion.

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT/PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS

Based on discussions with the various integrators of IP and television services to the hospitality industry, Nighthawk is constantly reviewing requests for the addition of new features and capabilities to its existing line of STB’s. In late 2007, Nighthawk began working with Verimatrix, Inc. to become one of the first set-top box providers in the hospitality industry to offer digital watermarking, and process through with video streams would be encoded with a watermark that would be visible if the content were recorded and removed from the hotel premise in an unauthorized fashion. Such watermarking would allow for stolen video to be traced to its point of origin, and would serve as a deterrent for unauthorized use of video content provided in hotels and casinos. In 2008, Nighthawk will begin offering its own Software Developers Kit to potential customers in an effort to create sales opportunities for the STB’s. From its acquisition of the STB business on October 11, 2007 through December 31, 2007, Nighthawk expensed $33,573 in research and development costs related to the STB business.

PATENTS

Nighthawk received two patents with the acquisition of the STB business. The first is for an improved patch antenna for a set-top box. Using a patch antenna as the set-top box’s antenna advantageously solves the problem of interference that could result from the metal enclosure if other types of antennas were used. Using a patch antenna and locating the patch antenna behind the bezel hides the antenna from the user’s reach, and thereby advantageously avoids the user from having to carefully place or adjust the antenna.

The second patent is an electronic system that includes control logic that causes input and output ports to be disabled during the interruption windows of the initialization process, and subsequently to be selectively disabled or enabled after completion of the initialization process. This is done to prevent interruption of the initialization process by the user. The input and output ports are disabled or enabled, after completion of the initialization process, to control access to content sorted on, or made available by, the electronic system. This process prevents the Company’s software from being used on non-Nighthawk set-top boxes.

COMPETITION

Amino Technologies, based in England, designs and supplies set-top boxes for a wide variety of applications, including for use within the hospitality industry. Amino has a larger current market share than Nighthawk, primarily based upon the use of its standard definition set-top boxes.

Advanced Digital Broadcast (“ADB”) is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. ADB on its website claims to have more than 700 employees and to have sold more than 10 million digital set-top boxes worldwide since 1995.

Motorola manufactures set-top boxes that are used by telecom service providers such as AT&T for use in retail consumer service offerings, but to date does not have a large presence within the hospitality industry with high definition set-top boxes.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

Nighthawk currently utilizes the services of an outside consultant as well as one in-house sales person to sell its STB’s. Products are built and shipped directly to customers from one of several manufacturing sites in Asia.

CURRENT MARKETING STRATEGY

Nighthawk’s current strategy is to build on its recent success with both the IP3000HD and the IP5000HD boxes to attract new hotel services integrators as customers. The two engineers hired as part of the acquisition of the STB business each have excellent reputations with several integrators within the industry. As discussed above, to the Company’s knowledge, it was the first Company to ship and deploy a high definition IP set top box in volume when it was installed at a major Las Vegas hotel in mid-2005. It has also gained traction in the market with the current customer that is purchasing the IP3000HD. Nighthawk’s staff has developed a positive reputation for providing proactice customer support in the installation and integration of its STB’s, and is currently in negotiation with several potential customers that would like for the Company to design a set-top box to fit their particular needs.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION AND IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OPERATIONS.

Our auditors, GHP Horwath, P.C., included an explanatory paragraph in their Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements indicating that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will require additional funds in the future, and any independent auditors report on our future financial statements may include a similar explanatory paragraph if we are unable to raise sufficient funds or generate sufficient cash from operations to cover the cost of our operations. The existence of the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect our relationship with prospective customers, suppliers and potential investors, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

OUR CONTINUED EXISTENCE IS DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WHICH MAY NOT BE READILY AVAILABLE.

From inception, we have generated funds to cover operating cash flow deficits primarily through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of debt that is convertible into securities. We may not be able to continue to sell additional securities. We expect to raise funds in the future through sales of our debt or equity securities until a time, if ever, that we are able to operate profitably. We may not be able to obtain funds in this manner or on terms that are beneficial to us. If we are unable to obtain needed funding, it can be expected to have a material adverse effect on our operations and our ability to achieve profitability.

WE DEPEND ON CERTAIN CUSTOMERS AND IF WE LOSE ONE OF OUR SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS, OUR REVENUES MAY SUBSTANTIALLY DECREASE AND OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, one customer that purchases STB’s from us accounted for 30% of our total revenues for the year. Additionally, a second customer that resells our products to electric utilities accounted for 13% of our revenues in 2007. If either of these two customers stop generating orders for us altogether, and we are unable to obtain comparable orders from other customers, our revenues would decrease and it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

WE DEPEND ON KEY PERSONNEL AND OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF THEY WERE TO DEPART.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our key management and technical personnel. Our business requires highly skilled hardware and software engineering personnel. H. Douglas Saathoff currently serves as both our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and has experience in raising capital for small cap companies and providing financial oversight that is vital to our ongoing success. We do not currently have employment agreements with Mr. Saathoff or any of our engineering staff that prohibit them from competing with us upon termination of their employment. In addition, it may be difficult to replace Mr. Saathoff or engineering staff if one or more of these individuals left the Company. Our business may not be successful if, for any reason, any of these skilled employees ceased to be employees of the Company.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company's executive, sales and marketing offices are located in 1,144 square feet of leased office space at 10715 Gulfdale, Suite 200, San Antonio, Texas under a two-year lease agreement that expires in April 2008.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 contained elsewhere in this Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

The Company's financial results include the accounts of Nighthawk Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned, non-operating subsidiary, Peregrine Control Technologies, Inc. ("PCT"). On October 11, 2007, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Set-Top Box business of Eagle Broadband, Inc. for $4,750,000 in cash. The assets acquired included all accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and intangibles. This acquisition was funded by a $6.0 million sale of Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants to Dutchess. This acquisition was made primarily to enhance the future cash flows of the Company in and effort to reduce or eliminate monthly operating cash flow deficits.

Nighthawk is a provider of intelligent devices and systems that allow for the centralized, on-demand management of assets and processes. Nighthawk products are used throughout the United States in a variety of mission critical applications, including remotely turning on and off and rebooting devices, activating alarms, and emergency notification, including the display of custom messages. Nighthawk’s IPTV set-top boxes are utilized by the hospitality industry to provide in-room standard and high definition television and video on demand.

COMPARISON OF 2007 AND 2006

REVENUE

The components of revenue and their associated percentages of total revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:


	Years Ended December 31,
		2007			2006
Set-Top Box	$	510,275	31%	$	-	-
Utility products		737,736	44%		348,895	39%
General power control products		356,925	22%		509,944	57%
Airtime and access services		50,162	3%		40,336	4%
	$	1,655,098	100%	$	899,175	100%

Revenues for 2007 were $1,655,098 as compared to $899,175 for the prior year, an increase of 84% between periods. A large portion of this increase, $510,275, was produced from sales of IPMediaPro 3000HD set top boxes. With the purchase of the Set-Top Box operation on October 11, 2007, the Company assumed responsibility for the production of approximately 2,050 boxes that has been ordered from Eagle Broadband in prior months. The day after the acquisition was completed, the Company received an additional order from its primary customer for an additional 2,150 units. During the three month period ending December 31, 2007 the Company was able to produce and ship approximately 2,190 set-top box units.

Sales of all of the Company's Utility products increased 111% from $348,895 in 2006 to $737,736 in 2007. Prior to the acquisition of the Set-Top Box operation, the Company put added emphases on selling its utility products and decreased the emphasis on selling its rebooting and specialty power control products. Sales to electric utility customers are typically higher volume sales as compared to sales of other products, and Company management felt that limited marketing and personnel resources were better utilized within this market. Throughout 2007 and in an effort to increase visibility of its products within the electric utility market, the Company focused on assembling a reseller and distribution network for the utility products. During each fiscal quarter of 2007, the Company produced quarterly year over year revenue growth from sales of its CEO700 remote disconnect product. Given the pace of order flow throughout the year, spurred by both market conditions and a deliberate increase in our sales effort, the Company anticipates that this trend will continue and possibly accelerate.

Sales of the Company’s general power control products decreased from 2006 to 2007. Individual sales to customers of these products are usually for a smaller number of units as compared to sales of utility products. However, during 2006, the Company had recorded revenue of approximately $128,000 on a single purchase of logic boards by a customer. Management believes that the potential for similar larger orders still exists, but did not spend significant marketing effort and dollars in this area during 2007. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Company received an order from a customer for power control units to be produced during fiscal 2008. This single order would generate revenues approximately equal in size to total revenues produced by general power control products during fiscal 2007.

Airtime revenues, generated on a recurring basis by reselling wireless access to units purchased by customers, increased 24%, from $40,336 in 2006 to $50,162 in 2007. The increase in airtime revenues is a direct result of more of the Company’s units being purchased and placed into operation by customers.

Cost of goods sold includes parts and pre-manufactured components as well as allocated overhead for production personnel and facilities costs for products produced in-house, and parts and a per-unit finished product cost for products made by sub-contract manufacturers. Cost of goods sold increased by $738,121 or 137% for 2007 from $538,692 for the prior year to $1,276,813 for 2007, and increased as a percentage of revenues between the periods from 60% in 2006 to 77% in 2007. Because of the increased volume of business from sales of set-top boxes and from sales of the CEO700, the Company produced more gross margin dollars in 2007 than it did in 2006. However, the Company’s overall gross margin decreased from 40% to 23%. This was due primarily to the large contribution of the set-top box operation during the fourth quarter of 2007. As mentioned above, the Company inherited orders to produce in excess of 2,000 units with the acquisition of the business. These orders had originally been placed with Eagle Broadband, and the customer was originally expecting to receive the units in October and November of 2007. In an effort to deliver units to the customer as quickly as possible, the Company had to pay expedite fees related to acquiring component parts and for shipping of the finished units as well. These additional costs reduced the margins that the Company expects to ultimately be able to produce on set-top boxes during 2008. The gross margin produced in 2006 was also higher than normal due the sale of logic boards to one customer as mentioned above. The Company makes more margin dollars on the sale of its PT1000 logic boards than on any other product, and 31% of its revenues were produced by the sales of these boards in 2006 as compared to only 13% in 2007.

In an effort to lower its cost of producing power control products, the Company is in the process of designing a printed circuit board (“PCB”) that can be used within most of the Company’s power control products, within the utility products markets and the other major markets as well. By using a common PCB for multiple applications, management believes it can lower its per unit cost of producing its power control products due to higher volume production runs.

Management is also currently in discussions with alternate contract manufacturers for it’s Set-Top Box products and believes that the opportunity exists to lower the per-unit cost of producing the products. Additionally, management believes that the same manufacturer may be utilized to produce both set-top boxes and power control products, resulting in lower per-units costs of production due to an increase in the overall volume of business awarded to the manufacturer.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2007 decreased by $232,532 or 8% to $2,589,872 from $2,822,404 for 2006. During 2006, the Company recognized approximately $489,000 related to a note issued to Dutchess in exchange for consulting services performed during the year. No comparable expense was incurred in 2007. This decrease was also due to decreases in expenses associated with research and development costs between the periods presented. The Company also recognized less legal fees during the current year period as it decreased the number of associated financing transactions from the 2006 period to the 2007 period. These cumulative decreases more than offset approximately $285,000 in noncash expense associated with options awarded to employees, as well as to a Company board member, that was recognized during the 2007 period, as well as $100,750 in amortization expense recognized in 2007 related to identified intangibles acquired with the STB business.

Interest expense incurred on non-related party debt decreased $134,974 or 11% between the years presented. The amount owed to Dutchess and to a shareholder decreased a total of approximately $1.3 million during 2007, so the Company incurred less interest expense in 2007 than in 2006 on the corresponding convertible debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s financial statements for 2007 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 includes a "going concern" explanatory paragraph which means that the auditors stated that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Since 2004, the Company has relied on an investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities , II, L.P. (“Dutchess”) to obtain funds to cover its operating cash flows and deficits. This arrangement expired in December 2007. The Company remains in discussions with Dutchess about the Company’s operating cash requirements but presently has no formal agreement with Dutchess to provide additional funding to the Company.

Effective October 11, 2007, the Company acquired the Set-Top Box operations of Eagle Broadband for cash of $4,750,000. This acquisition was funded by a $6.0 million sale of Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants to Dutchess. This acquisition was made primarily to reduce or eliminate the Company’s monthly operating cash flow deficits. Although no assurance may be given that it will be able to do so, Company management believes that this operation may be able to generate sufficient cash flows during 2008 to cover the Company’s overall operating cash flow requirements, and eliminate the requirement for additional funding from third parties. Management also believes that improved operating results from internal growth and the contribution of the Set-Top Box business will enhance its ability to obtain new funding from outside parties. As of the date of this report, the Company has continued to receive orders for boxes, and has identified the opportunity to reduce production costs for the boxes which it believes will have a positive impact on future cash flows and operating results if the Company continues to receive orders of a similar or greater magnitude in the future.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.8 million. Major cash outlays during the period were approximately $933,000 for payroll/employee benefits, $377,500 for public relations efforts, and $94,000 for sales and marketing efforts. In addition, the Company acquired the Set-Top Box operations of Eagle Broadband for cash of $4,750,000, and paid a stockholder $150,000 to reduce the amount owed to him under convertible notes. To finance its operations, pay down the debt to the stockholder and to purchase Set-Top Box, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Dutchess under a convertible debenture and borrowed additional net proceeds during the year of $311,219 under notes payable that are secured by accounts receivable. The Company also issued common stock to Dutchess for net cash proceeds of $271,761 and issued 600,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to Dutchess in return for net cash proceeds of $5,942,000. The majority of the cash proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock were used to pay the $4,750,000 cash purchase price for the Set-Top Box business and $250,000 was paid to Dutchess for interest owed on outstanding notes. The remainder of the cash proceeds were and are being used to fund the consolidated operations of the Company after the acquisition was made.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Although our financial statements necessarily make use of certain accounting estimates by management, except as described below, we believe no matters that are the subject of such estimates are so highly uncertain or susceptible to change as to present a significant risk of a material impact on our financial condition or operating performance. Moreover, except as described below, the Company does not employ any critical accounting policies that are selected from among available alternatives or require the exercise of significant management judgment to apply.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenue from product sales is recognized when all significant obligations of the Company have been satisfied. Revenues from equipment sales are recognized upon shipment of the equipment to the customer, depending on the Company's contractual obligations. The Company is often prepaid for airtime services and is also occasionally prepaid for its products. These amounts are recorded as deferred revenue until the airtime services are provided or until the products have been manufactured.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Beginning in 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of, and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 - revised 2004 ("SFAS 123R") "Share-Based Payment" which replaced SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company elected the

modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified.

We account for stock options granted to non-employees on a fair-value basis in accordance with SFAS 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL, INTANGIBLES AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived, tangible and intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives, such as property and equipment and acquired customer relationships, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. As a result of the STB acquisition we consummated in the fourth quarter of 2007, we had approximately $1.5 million in identifiable intangible assets at December 31, 2007. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for such long-lived assets is based on the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to write downs charged to results of operations only when its carrying amount is determined to be more than its estimated fair value based upon impairment tests that are required to be made annually or more frequently under certain circumstances. The fair value of our reporting unit used in determination of the goodwill impairment is evaluated based on historical performance and/or expected present value of associated future cash flows. As a result of the acquisition we completed in 2007, we have approximately $3.4 million in goodwill at December 31, 2007.

ACCOUNTING FOR OBLIGATIONS AND INSTRUMENTS POTENTIALLY SETTLED IN OUR CAPITAL STOCK

We account for obligations and instruments potentially to be settled in our capital stock in accordance with EITF No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled In a Company's Own Stock. This issue addresses the initial balance sheet classification and measurement of contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, our own stock, primarily as these relate to warrants issued to Laurus.

Under EITF No. 00-19 contracts are initially classified as equity or as either assets or liabilities, depending on the situation. All contracts are initially measured at fair value and subsequently accounted for based on the then- current classification. For contracts initially classified as equity, we do not recognize subsequent changes in fair value as long as the contracts continue to be classified as equity. For contracts classified as assets or liabilities, we report changes in fair value in earnings and disclose these changes in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as assets or liabilities. If contracts classified as assets or liabilities are ultimately settled in shares, any previously reported gains or losses on those contracts continue to be included in earnings. The classification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141 (R)”) which becomes effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires all business combinations completed after the effective date to be accounted for by applying the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method). Companies applying this method will have to identify the acquirer, determine the acquisition date and purchase price and recognize at their acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. In the case of a bargain purchase the acquirer is required to reevaluate the measurements of the recognized assets and liabilities at the acquisition date and recognize a gain on that date if an excess remains. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this statement may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51 (“SFAS 160”) which becomes effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The statement requires ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. The statement also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest with disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. In addition this statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation and requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement of accounting for financial instruments. The fair value option established by this statement permits all entities to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact adoption of SFAS No. 159 may have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for non-financial assets and liabilities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 for financial assets and liabilities. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 may have on its financial statements

ITEM 8A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO Framework").

Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2007. Our principal Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded we have a material weakness in our ability to produce financial statements free from material misstatements. Management reported a material weakness resulting from the combination of the following significant deficiencies:

a lack of segregation of duties in accounting and financial reporting activities; and

a lack of a sufficient number of qualified accounting personnel; and

a lack of documentation and review of financial information by accounting personnel with direct oversight responsibility.

Our Chief Executive Officer has also served as our Chief Financial Officer since September 2005. We believe that the lack of a full-time Chief Financial Officer has resulted in a significant deficiency in internal controls over financial reporting due to the lack of qualified accounting personnel with sufficient time to regularly and adequately review complex, nonrecurring transactions, such as those involving the issuance of debt and equity securities. In addition, the Company employs only one individual that is responsible for the processing of all recurring transactions. While management is actively involved in the daily activities of the Company, including the review of transactions, it is difficult to adequately segregate accounting duties within the Company in a manner to prevent a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting.

In order to remediate the material weaknesses described above, management is considering the possibility of a) hiring and full-time Chief Financial Officer, b) hiring additional accounting personnel, and c) utilizing outside consultants to review particular transactions as well as to design and implement additional procedures to mitigate risks associated with a lack of segregation of duties within the accounting department. However, we may not be able to fully remediate the material weaknesses described above until our cash flows improve sufficiently to allow us to hire additional personnel or utilize outside consultants. Management will continue to actively monitor and assess the costs and benefits of these remedial efforts.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 8B. OTHER INFORMATION

The Company has not filed audited financial statements related to the purchase of the Set-Top Box business from Eagle as required by Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act because it has been unable to obtain assistance or information from Eagle that would be required for such disclosure. The Company is presently unable to predict if and when such disclosure will be provided as Eagle has limited available personnel with knowledge of or access to historical Set-Top Box financial results, and Eagle has not had an audit performed on their fiscal 2007 operations, which includes Set-Top Box results. On November 14, 2007, Eagle and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

PART III

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

Nighthawk Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nighthawk Systems, Inc. and subsidiary ("the Company") as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007. 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. 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 the 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 Nighthawk Systems, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common stockholders of approximately $5.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2007, and has a working capital deficiency of approximately $1.6 million at December 31, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NIGHTHAWK SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

1. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Nighthawk Systems, Inc. ("the Company") is a provider of intelligent devices and systems that allow for the centralized, on-demand management of assets and processes. Nighthawk products are used throughout the United States in a variety of mission-critical applications, including remotely turning on and off and rebooting devices, activating alarms, and emergency notification, including the display of custom messages. In October 2007, the Company purchased a Set-Top Box business (discussed below). Nighthawk’s IPTV set top boxes are utilized by the hospitality industry to provide in-room standard and high definition television and video on demand.

The financial statements of the Company also include its non-operating subsidiary, Peregrine Control Technologies, Inc. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The Company incurred a net loss applicable to common stockholders of approximately $5.9 million during 2007, and had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1.6 million as of December 31, 2007. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on the success of management’s plans to overcome these conditions and ultimately achieve positive cash flows from operations and profitability.

Since 2004, the Company has relied on an investment agreement with Dutchess Private Equities, II, L.P. (“Dutchess”) to obtain funds to cover its operating cash flows and deficits. This arrangement expired in December 2007. The Company remains in discussions with Dutchess about the Company’s operating cash requirements, but presently has no formal agreement with Dutchess to receive additional funding.

In October 2007, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the business known as Set-Top Box from Eagle Broadband, Inc. (“Eagle”, a publicly-traded company) for cash of $4,750,000 (Note 3). This acquisition was funded by a $6.0 million sale of Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants to Dutchess. This acquisition was made primarily to reduce or eliminate the Company’s monthly operating cash flow deficits. Although no assurance may be given that it will be able to do so, management believes that this operation may be able to generate sufficient cash flows during 2008 to cover the Company’s overall operating cash flow requirements, and eliminate the requirement for additional funding from third parties.

In January 2008, the Company engaged a third party to act as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with a potential offering of securities to a financial or strategic partner. Although management believes that the recently acquired Set-Top Box operations may eliminate its need for outside funding, management believes that enhanced operating results may allow the Company to attract more favorable financing options than those utilized in the past. The Company, with the assistance of the financial advisor, is currently exploring opportunities to raise sufficient funds to meet its operating requirements, as well as to redeem some or all of its outstanding obligations to Dutchess, and some portion of the Series B preferred stock as well, in an effort to reduce monthly interest costs and further dilution of its current shareholder base.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unsuccessful in implementing these plans, or otherwise be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has recorded transactions that include the issuance of options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The accounting for such securities is based upon fair values of our equity securities and other valuation criteria that were determined by the Company. Management believes these estimates of fair value are reasonable. Other significant estimates made by the Company include those related to fair values of acquired goodwill and intangible assets, as well as

F-6

property and equipment (including assumptions and estimates used in evaluating these assets for impairment), and the establishment of an allowance for estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable.

CONCENTRATIONS

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. Trade receivables arising from sales to customers are not collateralized and, as a result, management continually monitors the financial condition and its relationships with its customers to reduce the risk of loss. The maximum loss that might be sustained if customer receivables are not collected is limited to the carrying amount of the accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Approximately $271,200 of accounts receivable at December 31, 2007, or 86%, was from two customers and was collected in full subsequent to December 31, 2007.

Trade accounts receivable are carried, net of an appropriate allowance, at their estimated collectible value. Since customer credit is generally extended on a short-term basis, trade receivables do not bear interest. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectibility, and an allowance for doubtful accounts (less than$1,000 at December 31, 2007) is provided based primarily on customers’ past credit history and current financial condition and on current general economic conditions. Accounts for which no payment has been received within 30 days are considered delinquent and customer collection efforts are initiated. Accounts for which no payments have been received for three months are written off.

During 2007, two customers accounted for approximately 30% and 13% of total revenue, respectively. During 2006, two customers accounted for approximately 14% and 11% of total revenue, respectively.

During 2007, the Company's four largest suppliers accounted for approximately 26%, 21%, 15% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's purchases of pre-manufactured component materials. During 2006, the Company's s four largest suppliers accounted for approximately 51%, 12%, 11%, and 10% of the Company's purchases of pre-manufactured component materials. As the pre-manufactured components are a crucial integral component of the Company's product, the loss of one or more of the Company's major suppliers could have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to maintain production of its products on a cost effective basis in the future.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of parts and pre-manufactured component materials ($314,036 at December 31, 2007) and finished goods ($45,600 at December 31, 2007). Inventories are valued at the lower of cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market. The elements of cost in inventories include materials, labor and overhead.

FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Furniture, fixtures and equipment (Note 4) are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Management reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, to determine whether there are any indications of impairment.

Amortizable intangibles (Note 5) are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives of seven years for patents, five years for the non-compete agreement and three years for the customer relationships.

Impairment of furniture, fixtures and equipment and other long-lived assets is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to expected future cash flows to be generated by the asset. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The Company plans to test goodwill acquired during the fourth quarter of 2007 (Note 3) for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter each year, or more frequently if other indications of impairment arise. Based on management’s analysis, an impairment charge of $19,550 and $12,144 was recorded in 2007 and 2006, respectively, to write off certain patent costs. The impairment was based on management’s decision to abandon efforts to obtain two patents on power control products.

DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the terms of the respective loans (4 to 5 years) using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method.

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For 2007 and 2006, advertising costs were approximately $28,200 and $34,700, respectively.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R using the modified prospective method. Previously, the Company used the intrinsic method of valuing employee stock-based compensation pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the 2006 net loss increased by $106,377 (less than $0.01 per share).

The Company accounts for stock options granted to non-employees on a fair-value basis in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant date fair value of an award. The Company used the graded vesting attribution method to recognize expense for all options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R in 2006, the Company also changed to the straight-line attribution method to recognize expense for new options granted. However, this change had no effect on the reported net loss for 2006 separate from that reported above, and expense associated with the unvested portion of the pre-adoption grants has continued to be expensed using the graded vesting attribution method.

The estimated fair value of option granted in 2007 and 2006 were calculated using the following assumptions:


	2007		2006

Expected volatility		1.66%		1.117-1.376%
Expected term (in years)		5-6.5 years		2 years
Risk-free interest rate		4.46-4.55%		4.50%
Dividend yield		0%		0%

The expected volatility was based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividend on common stock over the expected life of the stock options. The Treasury bill rate for the expected life of the stock options was utilized to determine the risk-free interest rate. The expected life of stock options represents the period of time the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company does not have historical exercise trends to analyze. Therefore, the expected term used by management was calculated in accordance with the Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”) for “plain-vanilla” options.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

In connection with the issuances of equity instruments or debt, the Company may issue options or warrants to purchase common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as liabilities, rather than as equity. In addition, the equity instrument or debt may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options or listing requirements, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative liability instrument. The Company accounts for derivative instruments under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

ACCOUNTING FOR OBLIGATIONS AND INSTRUMENTS POTENTIALLY SETTLED IN THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK

The Company accounts for obligations and instruments potentially settled in the Company’s stock in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting For Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock. This issue addresses the initial balance sheet classification and measurement of contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, the Company’s stock. Under EITF 00-19, contracts are initially classified as equity or as either assets or liabilities, depending on the situation. All contracts are initially measured at fair value and subsequently accounted for based on the then current classification. Contracts initially classified as equity do not recognize subsequent changes in fair value as long as the contracts continue to be classified as equity. For contracts classified as assets or liabilities, the Company reports changes in fair value in earnings and discloses these changes in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as assets or liabilities. If contracts classified as assets or liabilities are ultimately settled in shares, any previously reported gains or losses on those contracts continue to be included in earnings. The classification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their short duration. Notes payable to unrelated parties with floating or fixed interest rates approximate their fair values based on current market rate information. The fair values of notes payable to related parties are not practicable to estimate based upon the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

SALES TAXES

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified the consensus of EITF Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation) EITF 06-3. EITF 06-3 concluded that the presentation of taxes imposed on revenue-producing transactions (sales, use, value added and excise taxes) on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy that should be disclosed. The Company adopted EITF 06-3 during the year ended December 31, 2007, and it did not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Company’s policy is to present taxes imposed on revenue-producing transactions on a net basis.

LEGAL DEFENSE COSTS

The Company does not accrue for estimated future legal and related defense costs, if any, to be incurred in connection with outstanding or threatened litigation and other disputed matters, but rather, records both as period costs when the services are rendered.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS

The Company records shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue, and shipping and handling costs incurred with the delivery of its products as cost of sales.

INCOME TAXES

In 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). Based on management’s evaluation, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits, and there was no effect on the Company’s opening deficit, current operations or cash flows, or its net operating loss carryforwards and related deferred tax asset valuation allowance as a result of implementing FIN 48. The Company is no longer subject to tax examinations for years before 2004. The Company will recognize any tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

For 2007 and 2006, the effect of the inclusion of dilutive shares (18,514,638 in 2007 and 16,953,347 in 2006) would have resulted in an anti-dilutive decrease in loss per share. Accordingly, the weighted average shares outstanding have not been adjusted for potentially dilutive shares, and no diluted loss per share is presented.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

that date if an excess remains. Management is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this statement may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51 (“SFAS 160”) which becomes effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The statement requires ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. The statement also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest with disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. In addition this statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation and requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment to FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement of accounting for financial instruments. The fair value option established by this statement permits all entities to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Management is currently assessing the impact adoption of SFAS No. 159 may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for non-financial assets and liabilities, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 for financial assets and liabilities. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 may have on the Company’s financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain minor reclassifications in the 2006 consolidated financial statement amounts have been made to conform to the 2007 presentation.

3. ACQUISITION OF SET-TOP BOX BUSINESS

On October 11, 2007, the Company acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of the business known as Set-Top Box of Eagle for $4,750,000 in cash. Dutchess is a creditor of Eagle and presented this acquisition opportunity to the Company. The assets acquired included all accounts receivable, inventory, furniture and fixtures and equipment (Note 4) and intangibles (Note 5).

The Set-Top Box business designs, manufactures and markets its proprietary MediaPro IP set-top boxes. Either stand-alone or in conjunction with various third-party middleware software, the MediaPro set-top boxes deliver a full range of high quality, standard and high definition entertainment and information services, including Internet protocol television (“IPTV”) and video-on-demand services, that can generate revenues for telecom service providers and the hospitality industry.

A preliminary allocation of the purchase price has been made by the Company among the specific assets and liabilities acquired, as well as among intangible assets identified as acquired by the Company. The purchase price allocation is not considered final as of the date of this report, as management is still reviewing all of the underlying assumptions and calculations used in the allocation. However, management believes the final purchase price allocation will not be materially different than that presented herein. The values allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired were as follows:

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

At December 31, 2007, all goodwill and intangible assets relate to the acquisition of the Set-Top Box business. Goodwill was $3,397,537, which is deductible for income tax purposes. Identified intangible assets are as follows:


Patents	$	128,490
Non-compete agreement		314,930
Customer relationships		867,920
		1,311,340

2010	$ 330,676
2011	$ 113,696
2012	$ 113,696

6. LEASES

The Company leases office and warehouse space in Denver, Colorado and San Antonio, Dallas and Houston, Texas. Rent expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, was approximately $40,700 and $34,200, respectively. The Denver, Dallas and Houston leases are on a month-to-month basis, and aggregate rent is $3,150 per month. The San Antonio lease expires in April 2008, and monthly rent is $1,395. Minimum rental payments are approximately $5,600 through April 2008.

7. INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are carried on the balance sheet with the presumption that they will be realizable in future periods when pre-tax income is generated. A valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2007, the Company has approximately $13.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards, which expire from 2014 through 2027. The net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to certain restrictions in the future, particularly in the event of a change in ownership under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

Significant deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future impact of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company's deferred tax assets have been completely reduced effectively by a valuation allowance because management does not believe realization of the deferred tax assets is sufficiently assured at the balance sheet date.

The deferred tax assets and associated valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 is as follows:


Deferred tax assets (liabilities), non-current:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	5,295,000
Stock-based compensation		122,000
Intangible assets		6,000
Valuation allowance		(5,423,000)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-

Income tax provision (benefit) consists of the following:

8. LINE OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE (ALL CURRENT)

The Company has$18,892 outstanding at December 31, 2007 under a $20,000 unsecured line of credit with a bank. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at an annual rate of 10.25% at December 31, 2007. Interest is due monthly. The line of credit is guaranteed by three stockholders and an officer of the Company.

At December 31, 2007, notes payable consist of the following:


Unsecured note with a financial institution; 17.49% interest rate; interest and principal due monthly through November 2008	$	4,635

Note payable to a financial institution; 12.75% interest rate; unsecured; due on demand		8,685

Convertible notes payable to an unrelated party minority stockholder; 8% interest rate; in default; collateralized by all assets of the Company; during 2007, the Company paid $150,000 to the stockholder, and the stockholder converted an additional $100,000 into 1,180,556 shares of common stock		75,000

Note payable to Dutchess; collateralized by accounts receivable; 36% interest rate; due February 2008; in default; during 2007, the Company received a total of $825,000 in exchange for three promissory notes that were collateralized by accounts receivable, of which $355,000 was paid back during the year; as of December 31, 2007, $470,000 is outstanding on the third note; of this amount, $55,000 was repaid during 2007, and the Company is in default on the remainder of the balance		470,000
	$	558,320

Convertible notes payable to Dutchess: 10% interest rate; maturities between December 2009 and June 2012; net of discount of $833,117 at December 31, 2007 (A)	$	635,061
Convertible note payable to Dutchess (B)		500,000
	$	1,135,061

(A) During 2007, the Company borrowed a total of $500,000 (net of offering costs and discounts, discussed below) from Dutchess in exchange for one convertible debenture, convertible at anytime at the option of Dutchess, bearing interest at 10%, which matures in June 2012. Along with the debenture, the Company issued warrants (valued at $100,000) to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.001 per share which expire in 2014.

During 2006, the Company borrowed a total of $2,050,000 (net of in offering costs and discounts, discussed below) from Dutchess in exchange for 11 convertible debentures, convertible at anytime at the option of Dutchess, bearing interest at 10%, and maturing between January 2007 and October 2011. Along with eight of the debentures, the Company issued 5,353,666 incentive shares valued at $337,980; along with three of the debentures, the Company issued warrants (valued at $130,000) to purchase up to 3,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.001 per share and expiring in 2013.

During 2007, approximately $1,648,993 of debentures were converted into or paid down by the issuance of 40,724,940 shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2006, approximately $1,727,163 of debentures were converted into or paid down by the issuance of 24,837,371 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, ten debentures issued in 2007 or prior years have principal balances and accrued interest outstanding as of December 31, 2007. Seven of the debentures are convertible at the lower of 75% of the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the conversion or at exercise prices ranging from $0.0354 to $0.08, and the other three are convertible at the lower of 70% of the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of conversion at prices ranging from $0.02 to $0.09 per share.

F-13

Due to the nominal exercise price of the warrants issued with the four debentures described above, the Company has accounted for the warrants as if they were shares of stock. As such, the value of the warrants is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date the debenture is issued. The cost of the warrants is recorded as debt issue costs, and the amounts are amortized to interest expense over the lives of the respective debentures.

Upon issuance of each debenture, the Company made an assessment in order to determine if the conversion option embedded in the debenture required bifurcation. Based on this assessment, on each occasion it was determined that the conversion feature did not require bifurcation and therefore the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature pursuant to EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27, which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debenture. The total aggregate beneficial conversion feature amount recorded in 2007 was $214,826 and the total amount amortized to interest expense was $491,364. The total aggregate beneficial conversion feature amount recorded in 2006 was $1,544,667, and the total amount amortized to interest expense was $384,472. Total interest expense in 2007 related to the Dutchess debentures, which included amortization of beneficial conversion feature and $24,856 of early redemption penalties, was $1,001,453, which represented an effective interest rate of 39%. Total interest expense in 2006 related to the Dutchess debentures, which included amortization of the beneficial conversion features and $42,145 of early redemption penalties was $1,168,657, which represented an effective interest rate of 44%.

Although Dutchess has not provided any indication it will do so, each of the debenture agreements outstanding at December 31, 2007 contain a provision under which Dutchess may request the Company to make amortizing payments on a monthly basis in an amount to be determined by the Company and Dutchess. As such, the total amount of the debentures outstanding is classified as a current liability. All of the debentures outstanding at December 31, 2007, contain a clause calling for an early redemption penalty of 20%.

(B) In 2005, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement with Dutchess Advisors LLC (“Dutchess Advisors”), an entity affiliated with Dutchess, under which Dutchess Advisors provided consulting services. As compensation under the agreement, the Company paid Dutchess Advisors cash of $10,000 per month, and for$3,000 sold Dutchess Advisors a $500,000, 5% convertible debenture that matures in December 2010. This note is convertible into shares of common stock at the lesser of 75% of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion or$0.0354 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2006, $488,717 was expensed related to this arrangement. The consulting contract was canceled prior to December 31, 2006 but the note remains outstanding through December 31, 2007.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

On October 9, 2007, the Company issued to Dutchess 600,000 shares of perpetual, non-redeemable Series B convertible preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred”), along with warrants to purchase up to 10 million shares of common stock in return for net cash proceeds of $5,942,000 (net of $58,000 of issuance costs). These proceeds were used for the acquisition of the Set-Top Box operations of Eagle, to pay Dutchess $250,000 for interest owed on outstanding notes and for working capital requirements of the Company subsequent to the acquisition.

The Series B Preferred provides for a cumulative annual dividend of 12%, payable quarterly. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the greater of (i) $13.00 worth of common stock based on the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the twenty trading day period immediately preceding the date of the conversion, or (ii) 100 shares of common stock. The number of common shares into which the Series B Preferred may be converted by Dutchess is limited to 4.99% of the total shares issued and outstanding on the conversion date. The Series B Preferred has a call right in which the Company has the right, solely at its option, to request the Series B Preferred holder to sell a specified number of its shares back to the Company at $13.00 per share. The Series B Preferred holder may, at its sole discretion, determine whether to accept or decline the call notice, as defined. The Series B Preferred also has registration rights which may require the Company to file a registration statement covering the registration of all or any part of the common shares underlying the Series B Preferred. No penalties are associated with the timing of such a registration statement filing.

Management evaluated whether the embedded conversion feature in the Series B Preferred required bifurcation and determined, in accordance with paragraph 12 of SFAS No. 133, that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion feature in the Series B Preferred were clearly and closely related to the underlying common stock. In conducting this evaluation, the Company recognized that the Series B Preferred had the following equity like characteristics: the Series B Preferred is perpetual and not redeemable; the Series B Preferred does not have a stated maturity or redemption date; and the right of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to receive payments, including the liquidation preference, is not secured by any collateral. Consequently, when all of the economic characteristics and risks of the Series B Preferred are considered as a whole, the Company concluded that the Series B Preferred is more akin to equity than debt and, as a result, the Company concluded that bifurcation was not required under SFAS No. 133.

Pursuant to the guidance in EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,

F-14

the Company allocated the proceeds from the Series B Preferred financing between the Series B Preferred and the warrants based upon their estimated fair values as of the closing date resulting in $5,310,000 being allocated to the Series B Preferred and $690,000 being allocated to the warrants. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the Series B Preferred was then calculated. The beneficial conversion feature value of $2,490,000 was recognized as an additional discount on the Series B Preferred, which amount was immediately accreted and treated as a deemed dividend to the holder of the Series B preferred, as all of the Series B Preferred was eligible for conversion upon issuance.

COMMON STOCK

During 2007, the Company issued Dutchess 3,661,529 shares of common stock in exchange for cash of $251,262 and 5,985,508 shares of common stock in order to reduce the amount of convertible debt and accrued interest owed to them by $398,373. The Company also issued 434,885 shares of common stock as commissions on these transactions, as well as for shares issued to Dutchess in 2006.

The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock to consultants during 2007 in exchange for services valued at $270,000. Company employees exercised options during 2007 to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock in exchange for $20,500 in cash proceeds.

During 2006, the Company issued 8,925,000 unregistered shares of common stock to consultants for services to be performed. The Company recognized $237,000 in expense related to these contracts during 2006, and recorded an additional $197,500 in prepaid expense related to two of the contracts as of December 31, 2006. The prepaid balance at December 31, 2006, was related to a 3.5 month consulting services agreement with a third party, in which this party agreed to provide public relations services. Compensation consisted of $50,000 in cash (of which $25,000 was paid in December 2006 and $25,000 was accrued at December 31, 2006, and paid in January 2007) and 4,000,000 non-forfeitable, fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $160,000 (based on a closing market price of $0.04 per share at the measurement date, the date the transaction was entered into). The deferred cost was amortized on a straight-line basis as earned over the 3.5-month period from the date of the agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately $197,500 and $31,700, respectively, was expensed.

In 2006, the Company exchanged of 3,256,666 shares of its outstanding common stock previously issued to Dutchess for seven-year warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of Company common stock for $0.001 per share.

WARRANTS

In connection with the Series B Preferred offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 10 million shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable immediately at $0.05 per share for a term of seven years. The relative fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $690,000 based on a Black Scholes pricing model utilizing a volatility of 164%, a contractual term of seven years, a risk free interest rate of 4.99%, and a dividend yield of 0. During the term of the warrants, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement covering the resale of the common shares underlying the warrants. The Company also issued warrants with a contractual term of seven years to Dutchess for the purchase of up to 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock for $0.001 per share along with a $500,000 debenture. Due to the nominal exercise price of the warrants issued with the debenture, the Company has accounted for the warrants as if they were shares of stock. As such, the value of $100,000 assigned to the warrants is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date the debenture was issued. The cost of the warrants is recorded as debt issue costs, and the amounts are amortized to interest expense over the life of the five-year debenture.

Common stock warrant transactions during 2006 and 2007 are summarized below:

The weighted average grant date fair value of the warrants issued in 2007 and 2006 was $0.08 and $0.045 per warrant, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the warrants outstanding at December 31, 2007 of $707,610 represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on December 31, 2007 of $0.07 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money warrants) that would have been received by the warrant holders, had all the warrant holders been able to and in fact, had exercised their options on December 31, 2007. The weighted average remaining contractual term of the warrants outstanding at December 31, 2007 is 6.3 years.

OPTIONS

Most of the employee options vest over three years, which is considered to be the requisite service period. Stock options issued in exchange for consultant services vest over the period defined in the contract. During the year ended December 31, 2007, two employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, were granted a total of 3,500,000 options, one third of which vested immediately, one third of which vested on June 30, 2007 and one third of which vested on December 31, 2007. The Company’s board member was also awarded 500,000 options, half of which vested immediately, and half of which vested in January 2008.

The amount of stock-based compensation recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term “forfeitures” is distinct from “cancellations” or “expirations” and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered option.

The Company currently expects, based on an analysis of historical forfeitures as of December 31, 2007, that approximately 96% of options will actually vest, and therefore has applied a forfeiture rate of 4% per year to all unvested options as of December 31, 2007. This analysis is re-evaluated periodically, and the forfeiture rate is adjusted as necessary. Ultimately, the actual expense recognized over the vesting period will only be for those shares that vest.

A summary of stock option activity of options to employees and directors for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, is presented below:

Exercisable at December 31, 2007		10,735,000	$	0.09		5.2	$	7,500

The weighted average grant date fair value of options awarded in 2007 and 2006 was $0.067 and $0.024 per option, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, there were 1,000,000 non-vested options outstanding that had a weighted average exercise price of $0.06 and a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.045 per share. A total of approximately $28,000 in unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested options is expected to be recognized in full by September 30, 2009. The total fair value of options vested during 2007 and 2006 was approximately $280,000. The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on December 31, 2007 of $0.07 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders, had all option holders been able to and in fact, had exercised their options on December 31, 2007.
