Guardian 8 Holdings

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Note 1 - Company Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Guardian 8 Corporation (“Guardian 8”) was incorporated in Nevada on June 8, 2009 as Guardian 6 Corporation. In August of 2009, the Company changed its name to Guardian 8 Corporation. The Company’s principle offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Effective November 30, 2010, we merged with Global Risk Management & Investigative Solutions (“Global Risk”), a public company with its common stock registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company merged into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Global Risk, with the Company being the surviving corporation. Post merger, Global Risk changed its name to Guardian 8 Holdings.

Principles of Consolidation

For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company was consolidated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guardian 8 Corporation. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Development Stage Enterprise

The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities” and is in the process of designing and introducing a new category of personal security products, called Enhanced Non-Lethal Devices (ENL). These products incorporate layered defensive measures to help security professionals and consumers protect themselves against personal attacks, while capturing critical images to defend against personal liability

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had no revenues, and limited operations were focused on final testing of initial manufacturing units and building out manufacturing and distribution operations.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances in non-interest bearing accounts and money-market accounts. The Company places its temporary cash investments with quality financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were cash equivalents of $246,699 and $0 respectively.

Revenue recognition

It is the Company’s policy that revenues will be recognized in accordance with ASC subtopic 605-10, “Revenue Recognition”. The company will therefore recognize revenue from sales of product upon delivery to its customers where the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Cash payments received in advance will be recorded as deferred revenue. Extended warranties will be recorded as deferred revenue and amortized according to the number of months in service. There were no revenues for the three-months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, or from June 8, 2009 (inception) through March 31, 2013.

Warranty

The Company intends to offer a 90-day limited warranty on our core product with an opportunity to upgrade to a one year limited warranty (for a fee) on our device. These fees are intended to cover the handling and repair costs and include a profit. Extended warranties which provide additional coverage beyond the limited warranty, ranging from one to four years, are anticipated to be offered for specified fees. Revenue derived from the sale of extended warranties will be deferred and amortized over the duration of the warranty period with the customer. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no warranty deferrals or expense recorded.

Table of Contents

Research and Development costs

The Company expenses all costs of research and development as incurred. There are R&D costs included in other general and administrative expenses of $46,312 and $189,064 for the three-months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of respective assets are expensed.

The Company depreciates its property and equipment for the financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives of the assets:

	Tooling (will be depreciated once the assets are approved for placement into service)	5 years
	Furniture and fixtures	5 years

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and amounts due to related party. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand. See Note 10 for further details.

Impairment of long-lived assets

ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of”, requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future new cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. The Company did not have any impaired assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, or from June 8, 2009 (inception) through March 31, 2013.

Loss per share

Loss per share is provided in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC 260-10, any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the denominator in the diluted earnings per share computation is the same as the denominator for basic earnings per share due to the anti-dilutive effect of the warrants on the Company’s net loss.

Dividends

We do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. See Note 11 for further details.

Recent pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all new accounting pronouncements as of the issue date of these financial statements and has determined that none have or will have a material impact on the financial statements or disclosures.

Note 2 - Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,959,257, and the Company’s current liabilities exceed current assets by $303,595.

The Company’s activities since inception have been financially sustained by issuance of common stock and related party loans. The Company intends to raise additional funding to continue its operations through contributions from the current shareholders and stock issuance to other investors.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the value of its assets or satisfy its liabilities.

Note 3 - Property and equipment

Property and equipment consists of the following:

	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Tooling	$	94,865	$	86,210
Leasehold Improvements		2,559		-
Furniture and fixtures		5,005		5,005
		102,429		91,215
Less accumulated depreciation		1,660		918
	$	100,769	$	90,297

As of March 31, 2013, the Company committed approximately $108,000 to future capital expenditures for the completion of production tooling and fixtures. As of March 31, 2013, not all tooling was complete and the remaining commitment was not been recorded as a liability. $94,865 of the total commitment has been paid as of March 31, 2013 and is recorded as tooling on these financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company began working with a consultant to design and install an integrated information resource system. In preparation, initial cabling and routing equipment were purchased and installed. The Company intends to continue investing significant resources in computer technology, both hardware and software to run its operations and establish inventory and sales tracking systems.

No depreciation has been or will be recorded on the tooling assets or production equipment until all final adjustments and enhancements have been completed, and the Company is running final production for sales and distribution. As of the date of this filing a limited quantity of units were run on the equipment for internal quality and reliability testing. In addition, we ran a limited quantity for product demonstrations, and for sale to one foreign customer enabling them to preview and establish necessary import classification documentation and protocols.

Note 4 - Deposit on Inventory

On January 4, 2013, the Company paid $43,136 for a deposit on inventory of its finished personal security devices. As part of an agreement, the Company has a commitment to pay an additional $172,544 at various points of production of the product.

Note 5 - Notes payable

In October of 2011, the Company received $100,000 from a related party to issue a convertible note payable, bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum, and maturing in April of 2012.

Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets that are required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC Topic 820-10 did not impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. The Company had no level three assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012; therefore, a reconciliation of the changes during the year is not shown.

The following table presents a reconciliation of all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012:

Note 11 - Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”) for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company’s operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 resulted in losses, thus no income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards that may be used to reduce future income taxes payable. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net benefit recorded in the financial statements related to this deferred asset. The valuation allowance is deemed necessary as a result of the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss since inception to March 31, 2013. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2012. Further, management does not believe it has taken the position in the deductibility of its expenses that creates a more likely than not potential for future liability under the guidance of FIN 48.

On April 25, 2013, subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company shipped its first test and evaluation order to a foreign distributor. These units are being used to facilitate the import process into their country, as well as allow the customer the opportunity to preview the product in preparation for deployment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We were incorporated in Nevada on June 8, 2009 as Guardian 6 Corporation. In August of 2009, we changed our name to Guardian 8 Corporation. Our principle offices are located in Scottsdale, Arizona. We are a development stage company in the process of designing and introducing a new category of personal security devices, Enhanced Non-Lethal Devices (ENL), that incorporate layered defensive measures to help security professionals and consumers protect themselves against personal attacks, while capturing critical images to defend against personal liability.

Effective November 30, 2010 we merged with Global Risk Management & Investigative Solutions (“Global Risk”), a public company, with its common stock registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. We merged into a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Global Risk, with Guardian 8 Corporation being the surviving corporation. Post merger, Global Risk changed its name to Guardian 8 Holdings.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company was consolidated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guardian 8 Corporation. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Since inception, our team of engineers and executives has been focused on developing and patenting our first commercial product, (the Guardian 8 Pro V2) as well as the key functions that create market differentiation. We have also been formalizing marketing and manufacturing strategies as well as building customer distribution channels in preparation for our first product launch into the Private Security Market. As of the date of this filing, initial production units were processed on hard tools, assembled by contract manufacturing employees, and are in the final stages of comprehensive quality and reliability testing. We anticipate our first customer orders will ship in the second and third quarters of 2013.

During the last six months we also hired key personnel. These hires include an experienced Vice President of Customer Service and our lead manufacturing engineer. We also intend to expand our sales and marketing staff during the next few months enabling us to reach key customers and shorten the sales cycles.

As of the date of this report, our initial production run of 200 devices is being validated to ensure the reliability of the design, and adherence to our manufacturing quality standards. Once these units are approved and our tooling is signed off for full-scale production, we anticipate ordering up to several thousand finished units for sale domestically. The majority of this first run will be used to fulfill test and evaluation orders, in the second and third quarters of 2013. We believe the majority of these units will be purchased at the end of our standard thirty-day trial period, however, we will not recognize sales from these units until we have either been paid by our customer, or when collectability is probable.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified several accounting principles that we believe are key to the understanding of our financial statements. These important accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

Development Stage Enterprise

We are a development stage enterprise, as defined in ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.”

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Net Loss Per Share

We adopted ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded.

Going Concern

Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to locate sources of capital, and attain future profitable operations. Our management is currently initiating their business plan. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Revenue Recognition

It is the Company’s policy that revenues will be recognized in accordance with ASC 605-10, “Revenue Recognition”. The company will therefore recognize revenue from sales of product upon delivery to its customers where the amount is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Cash payments received in advance will be recorded as deferred revenue. Extended warranties will be recorded as deferred revenue and amortized according to the number of months included in service. There were no revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 or from June 8, 2009 (inception) through March 31, 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2013 and 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and amounts due to related party. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Recent Developments

We completed the initial design of the first product under development in 2011. We tested these prototypes through a number of different venues and collected feedback and input on suggested design changes. As a result we incorporated significant upgrades and modified the initial design to improve reliability, durability and efficiencies. We introduced the new design in the first quarter of 2012, receiving a strong response from potential customers. The product is in its final testing stages, and will be shipping to customers in the second and third quarters of 2013.

In March of 2012 we filed with the Depository Trust Company (DTC) for electronic clearing of our common stock, with the assistance of C. K. Cooper & Company and Legent Clearing. We received DTC approval for electronic clearing on May 7, 2012. Along these same lines, our board of directors intends to file a registration statement on Form S-1 to register 100% of the shares held by stockholders of record upon completion of our 2013 common stock raise. This is intended to make it easier and more efficient for our stockholders to trade our shares and brokerage firms to accept the shares for deposit.

On April 20, 2012, we appointed Kathleen Hanrahan, a current member of our board of directors, to serve as our interim chief financial officer. Ms. Hanrahan has extended the term of her agreement until such time as the Company finds a suitable replacement or, by the end of March, 2014.

On February 7, 2013, we filed a Form 8-A to register our common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

Therefore, our stockholders have been unable to rely on Rule 144 of the Act for the public sale of our securities. Our stockholders will be able to rely on Rule 144 of the Act following the 90th day from filing of the Form 8-A described above.

Further, the other consultant has agreed to purchase $25,000 of our shares of our common stock on a monthly basis during the six month term at $0.40 per share.

On March 1, 2013, we entered into a one year agreement with Kraves PR to assist with public relations as we move into scaled production and distribution. The contract will be executed on a project by project basis, beginning with media assistance at an industry conference held in April 2013.

On March 4, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with our CEO/president, C. Stephen Cochennet, and amended the agreement with our interim CFO, Kathleen Hanrahan.

On March 26, 2013, we received $50,000 from a director, Corey Lambrecht, in the form of an unsecured 90-day promissory note. The note bears interest at 12% per annum and is payable on June 24, 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we agreed to sell 872,500 shares of common stock for $349,000, which included private placement fees of $46,121. We issued 150,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services in the amount of $58,500.

We entered into five employment contracts during the past six months, in which employees of the Company receive vested shares either at set times, or if the Company meets certain criteria in the respective time periods of their contract. As of March 31, 2013, 239,200 common shares vested per these contracts, for a total expense of $91,464. These shares were owed but not issued as of March 31, 2013.

We generated net losses of $579,864 and $477,848 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our losses were generated from general and administrative expenses; however, did include research and development costs related to our ProV2 device of $46,312 and $189,064 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

We anticipate continued losses from operations until such time as we generate revenues through the sale of our device.

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.

Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through the issuance of common stock for cash and services, as well as both convertible and non-convertible term notes. In June of 2009 through March 31, 2013, we raised $1,570,379 through the sale of our common stock, $61,750 from the exercise of 247,000 warrants in conjunction with notes payable, and an additional $1,129,500 through the issuance of notes payable. As of March 31, 2013, our cash balance was $246,699. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through the funds from additional offerings of our common stock, sales of additional convertible notes and third party financings. We anticipate potential sales-generated income in the second quarter of 2013, but may not generate sufficient amounts of revenues to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to make appropriate plans to ensure sources of additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities.

As we continue to expand operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of revenues from our product sales, and will be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and debt borrowings, giving consideration to loans and working diligently to move sales ahead to the extent necessary to provide working capital.

We anticipate incurring operating losses over the majority of the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of our cash requirements and our lack of revenues, we anticipate continuing to issue stock in exchange for loans and/or equity financing, which may have a substantial dilutive impact on our existing stockholders.

Summary of any product research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan of operation.

We expense all costs of research and development as incurred. There are research and development costs included in other general and administrative expenses of $46,312 and $189,064 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We anticipate expending up to $500,000 on additional significant product research and development for our consumer device.

Table of Contents

In addition to investments in research and development expenditures, we have also retained the services of a patent attorney to assist us with the filing and protection of key utility applications, as well as future technologies to be incorporated in next generation products for the commercial security and consumer markets. Costs associated with the filing of intellectual property has been capitalized and will be amortized over the 20-year life of the patents when issued.

Changes in the number of employees.

We are a development stage company and currently have four full-time employees, Stephen Cochennet, Chief Executive Officer, Paul Hughes, Chief Operations Officer, Jose Rojas, Vice President of Customer Support, and Daniel Silva our Lead Manufacturing Engineer for Guardian 8 Corporation. We utilize the services of several contract personnel, engineers and other professionals on an as needed basis. We are currently managed by C. Stephen Cochennet, Kathleen Hanrahan and Paul Hughes with the assistance of our board of directors. We look to Mr. Cochennet, Ms. Hanrahan and Mr. Hughes for entrepreneurial, organizational and management skills. We plan to continue to use consultants, legal and patent attorneys, design and mechanical engineers, engineers and accountants as necessary. We intend to hire sales and operations employees in 2013 to facilitate go to market activities. A portion of any employee compensation likely would include direct stock grants, or the right to acquire stock in the company, which would dilute the ownership interest of holders of existing shares of our common stock.

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.

We anticipate investing significant resources in the purchase of a plant and equipment in the near future; as we will begin to scale production operations throughout 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital is summarized and compared as follows:

	March 31, 2013			March 31, 2012

	$	(303,595	)	$	(366,055	)

Changes in cash flows are summarized as follows:

We had a net loss of $579,864 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This loss was offset by non-cash items such as stock issued for services of $58,500, stock issued for compensation of $91,464, and depreciation and amortization of $2,825. We had cash used by the increase in deposits on inventory of $43,136, and the increase in inventory of $700. We had cash provided due to the decrease in prepaid expenses of $29,367, the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $24,615, the increase in accrued payroll of $62,500, the increase in payroll taxes payable of $17,373, the increase in accrued interest to related parties of $8,400, and the increase in customer deposits of $1,308.

We had cash provided by financing activities of $552,879 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This included proceeds from the sale of common stock of $302,879 and proceeds from notes payable to related parties of $250,000.

We had a net loss of $477,848 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This included non-cash items such as stock issued for services of $22,250, stock issued for compensation of $102,000, depreciation and amortization of $2,249 and the amortization of discounts on notes payable of $43,930.

We had cash used by investing activities of $5,005 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to the purchase of property and equipment, and the Company’s website.

We had cash provided by financing activities of $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to proceeds from notes payable to related parties.

Table of Contents

As a result, we are in immediate need for additional working capital and are forced to seek additional equity or debt financing to meet our ongoing working capital needs. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending receipt of revenues from product sales. Additionally we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing through either convertible or non-convertible notes payable, to the extent necessary to augment our working capital. We are also evaluating sources of inventory financing that may be available once orders for our product are received.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
