VISUALANT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	ORGANIZATION

Visualant, Inc. (the “Company” or “Visualant”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 8, 1998 with authorized common stock of 500,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value. On September 13, 2002, 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 were authorized by the shareholders. There are no preferred shares issued and the terms have not been determined. The Company’s executive offices are located in Seattle, Washington.

The Company has invented a way to shine light at a material (solid surface, liquid, or gas) and measure the amount of light that is reflected back. The pattern of this reflected light is compared to other patterns the Company has captured and this allows the Company to identify, detect, or diagnose materials that cannot be identified by the human eye. The Company refers to this pattern of reflected light as a ChromaID™. The Company designs ChromaID Scanner devices made with electronic, optical, and software parts to produce and capture the light.

The Company’s first product, the ChromaID F12 Lab Kit, scans and identifies solid surfaces. The Company is marketing this product to customers who are considering licensing the technology. Target markets include, but are not limited to, commercial paint manufacturers, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers, process control companies, currency paper and ink manufacturers, security card, reader, and scanner manufacturers, food processing, and electronic gaming.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc., based in Aurora, Oregon, the Company provides value added security and authentication solutions to corporate and government security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States.

On June 10, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and Voting Agreement with Special Situations and forty other accredited investors pursuant to which we issued 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for a total of $5,230,000, which amount includes the conversion of $500,000 in outstanding debt of the Company owed to one of its officers. As part of the transaction which closed on June 14, 2013, the Company issued to the investors (i) five year Series A Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share; and (ii) five year Series B Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share. The transaction was entered into to strengthen our balance sheet, complete the purchase of our TransTech subsidiary, and provide working capital to support the rapid movement of our ChromaID technology into the marketplace.

The Company has a Joint Development Agreement through December 31, 2013 with Sumitomo Precision Products Co., Ltd., which focuses on the commercialization of the ChromaID™ technology as well as a License Agreement providing SPP with an exclusive license of the ChromaID™ technology in identified Asian territories. SPP is publicly traded in Japan and has operations in Japan, United States, China, United Kingdom, Canada and other parts of the world.

To date, the Company been issued five patents by the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks. See page 9 for more detailed information regarding the Company's patents and business.

2.	GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred net losses of $5,462,678 and $2,725,692 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Our net cash used in operating activities was $2,468,603 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company anticipates that it will record losses from operations for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2013, our accumulated deficit was $19,378,609. The Company has limited capital resources, and operations to date have been funded with the proceeds from private equity and debt financings and loans from Ronald P. Erickson, our Chief Executive Officer. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The audit report prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm relating to our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2012 includes an explanatory paragraph expressing the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

3.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Inter-Company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Beginning December 31, 2010 and through December 31, 2013, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the balance of the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.

VISUALANT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified within the portfolio. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if payments from customers are significantly delayed, additional allowances might be required.

INVENTORIES - Inventories consist primarily of printers and consumable supplies, including ribbons and cards, badge accessories, capture devices, and access control components held for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories are considered available for resale when drop shipped and invoiced directly to a customer from a vendor, or when physically received by TransTech at a warehouse location. The company records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory whenever an impairment has been identified. There is a $10,000 reserve for impaired inventory as of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

EQUIPMENT - Equipment consists of machinery, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and software, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the relevant asset, generally 2-10 years, except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over 5-20 years.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY – The Company amortizes the intangible assets and intellectual property acquired in connection with the acquisition of TransTech, over sixty months on a straight - line basis, which was the time frame that the management of the Company was able to project forward for future revenue, either under agreement or through expected continued business activities. Intangible assets and intellectual property acquired from RATLab LLC and Javelin are recorded likewise.

GOODWILL – Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. With the adoption of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Reporting units are one level below the business segment level, but are combined when reporting units within the same segment have similar economic characteristics. Under the criteria set forth by ASC 350, the Company has one reporting unit based on the current structure. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performs annual assessments and has determined that no impairment is necessary.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS – The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

VISUALANT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Total	$	-	$	4,184,000	$	-	$	4,184,000

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:

Exercise price	$	0.15-0.20
Expected term (years)	3-5 years
Dividend yield		-
Expected volatility		82	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.3	%

The risk-free rate of return reflects the interest rate for the United States Treasury Note with similar time-to-maturity to that of the warrants.

The recorded value of other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at June 30, 2013 and 2012 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.

Derivative Instruments - Warrants

The Company issued 104,600,000 warrants in connection with the June 2013 Private Placement of 52,300,000 shares of common stock. The strike price of these warrants is $0.15 to $0.20 per share. These warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. These warrants were issued with a down-round provision whereby the exercise price would be adjusted downward in the event that additional shares of the Company’s common stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for the Company’s common stock were issued at a price less than the exercise price. Therefore, the fair value of these warrants were recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet and are marked to market each reporting period until they are exercised or expire or otherwise extinguished.

The proceeds from the Private Placement were allocated between the Common Shares and the Warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement based upon their estimated fair values as of the closing date at June 14, 2013, resulting in the aggregate amount of $2,494,710 to the Stockholders’ Equity and $2,735,290 to the warrant derivative. During 2013, the Company recognized $1,448,710 of other expense resulting from the increase in the fair value of the warrant liability at June 30, 2013.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – TransTech revenue is derived from other products and services. Revenue is considered realized when the services have been provided to the customer, the work has been accepted by the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Furthermore, if an actual measurement of revenue cannot be determined, we defer all revenue recognition until such time that an actual measurement can be determined. If during the course of a contract management determines that losses are expected to be incurred, such costs are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Revenues are deferred when cash has been received from the customer but the revenue has not been earned. The SPP License fee is being recorded as revenue over the life the Joint Development Agreement discussed below. The Company recorded deferred revenue of $0 and $666,667 as of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION - The Company has share-based compensation plans under which employees, consultants, suppliers and directors may be granted restricted stock, as well as options to purchase shares of Company common stock at the fair market value at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation cost is measured by the Company at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, over the requisite service period. For options issued to employees, the Company recognizes stock compensation costs utilizing the fair value methodology over the related period of benefit. Grants of stock options and stock to non-employees and other parties are accounted for in accordance with the ASC 505.

VISUALANT, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INCOME TAXES - Income tax benefit is based on reported loss before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws where that company operates out of. The Company recognizes refundable and deferred assets to the extent that management has determined their realization. As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company had refundable tax assets related to TransTech of $30,045 and $29,316, respectively.

NET LOSS PER SHARE – Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net 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 or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The common stock equivalents have not been included as they are anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2013, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 11,005,000 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 112,357,050 common shares, and an undetermined number shares of common stock related to convertible debt, which could potentially dilute future earnings per share. As of June 30, 2012, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 9,020,000 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 4,977,051 common shares, and an undetermined number shares of common stock related to convertible debt, which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

DIVIDEND POLICY - The Company has never paid any cash dividends and intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

The pattern of this reflected light is compared to other patterns the Company has captured and this allows the Company to identify, detect, or diagnose materials that cannot be identified by the human eye. The Company refers to this pattern of reflected light as a ChromaID™. The Company designs ChromaID scanning devices made with electronic, optical, and software parts to produce and capture the light.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Determining Fair Value Under ASC 505

The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model for estimating fair value of stock options granted under our plan. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock options on a ratable basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company estimates the volatility of our common stock based on the historical volatility of its own common stock over the most recent period corresponding with the estimated expected life of the award. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model and adjusts share-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience. The effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed.

Stock Option Activity

Stock option grants totaling 5,100,000 shares of common stock have been made to three directors and four employees for services provided during 2012. These options were authorized for issuance under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan and were effective March 21, 2013, when the Company was authorized to issue options up to 14,000,000 shares under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan at the Annual Stockholder Meeting.

There are currently 11,005,000 options to purchase common stock at an average exercise price of $0.131 per share outstanding at June 30, 2013 under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company recorded $221,692 and $232,567 of compensation expense, net of related tax effects, relative to stock options for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 in accordance with ASC 505. Net loss per share (basic and diluted) associated with this expense was approximately ($0.00).

The following summarizes our plans for our ChromaID™ technology, which is expected to provide the majority of net revenues in future years. TransTech currently provides the majority of our net revenues. There is no government regulation to our business at this time.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc. or TransTech, based in Aurora, Oregon, we provide value added security and authentication solutions to corporate and government security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States.

Our ChromaID™ Technology

We have invented a way to project light at a material (solid surface, liquid, or gas) and measure the amount of light that is reflected back. The pattern of this reflected light is compared to other patterns we have captured and this allows us to identify, detect, or diagnose materials that cannot be identified by the human eye. We refer to this pattern of reflected light as a ChromaID™. We design ChromaID scanning devices made with electronic, optical, and software parts to produce and capture the light.

Our first product, the ChromaID F12 Lab Kit, scans and identifies solid surfaces. We are marketing this product to customers who are considering licensing the technology. Target markets include, but are not limited to, commercial paint manufacturers, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers, process control companies, currency paper and ink manufacturers, security card, reader, and scanner manufacturers, food processing, and electronic gaming.

Our Acquisition of TransTech Systems, Inc.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech is based in Aurora, Oregon, and was founded in 1994. TransTech provides value-added security and authentication solutions to corporate and government security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States. With recorded revenues of $7.6 million in 2012, TransTech has a respected national reputation for outstanding product knowledge, sales and service excellence.

We closed the acquisition of TransTech on June 8, 2010. This acquisition is expected to accelerate market entry and penetration through well-operated and positioned dealers of security and authentication systems, thus creating a natural distribution channel for products featuring the company’s proprietary ChromaID technology.

Products

TransTech products are as follows:

ID Systems & Components: Provision of ID personalization systems to the security industry. These systems include components such as ID cards, printers, software, supplies, data collection devices, document scanners, photo capture products, document authentication devices, and signature capture products.

Logical and Physical Access Control: Logical access readers used for logging onto computer networks and VPNs, physical access control readers used to gain access into buildings or secure areas, software such as visitor management & temporary card solutions, and additional applications outside of security.

Radio Frequency Identification and Tracking: These products include RF scanner, readers, cards, tags, labels, tracking software, and even video surveillance cameras to tie video clips of the asset or article movement to the personnel using them or to record other events surrounding asset and article movement.

Markets

Regions: Revenues are derived from over 400 distributors and national account customers in the United States, with the majority in the Western region.

Route to Market: TransTech’s focus is on its reseller channel. Approximately 90% of sales are through the reseller channel and government prime vendors. The remaining approximately 10% is direct to end users.

Distribution Network Development: TransTech is exploring a closer position with its direct channel for tighter market feedback, insurance against manufacturer’s policies, and for financial benefits. This exploration includes partnering, LLCs, Joint Ventures, and potential acquisitions.

Applications and Verticals: The primary use of TransTech products is for security applications. These fit within many verticals, including but not limited to, commercial industries, manufacturing, distribution, transportation, government, health care, education, entertainment. In recent years there has been growth into several non-security applications such as gaming/player’s cards, loyalty cards, gift cards, direct marketing, certifications, amusement, payment, and guest cards.

Key Partners

Customers: We currently do not have any customer concentrations where one customer exceeds 10% of net revenues on an annual basis.

Suppliers: Evolis, Fargo, Magicard and NiSCA, are major vendors whose products account for approximately 70% of TransTech’s revenue. Our products do not have any limit on availability, subject to proper payment of outstanding invoices.

THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK

Our common stock trades on the OTCQB Exchange under the symbol “VSUL.”

KEY MARKET PRIORITIES

Currently, our key market priorities are, among other things, to:

Our Developing Markets and Customers.

Our plan is to develop markets and customers who have a need to identify, detect, or diagnose flat surface materials which include, but are not limited to, commercial paint manufacturers, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers, process control companies, currency paper and ink manufacturers, security card, reader, and scanner manufacturers, food processing, and electronic gaming.

Future market opportunities might include identification, detection, or diagnosis of:

Powders for law enforcement applications,

Drugs and drug container seals for protection against contamination and counterfeiting for pharmaceutical applications.

Fruit and vegetable ripeness for agriculture applications,

Noninvasive skin analysis for discovery of certain diseases or conditions for medical applications.

Our Commercialization Plans for our ChromaID Technology.

The current path to commercialization for the markets stated above is to sell a ChromaID F12 Lab Kit which includes:

ChromaID F12 Scanner. A small device made with electronic, optical, and software parts which shine light onto a flat material and measures the amount of light that is reflected back. The device is the size of a flashlight (5.5” long and 1.25” diameter).

ChromaID Lab Software. A software application that runs on a Windows Personal Computer. This software configures and controls the ChromaID F12 Scanner, displays the captured ChromaID Profile, and compares it to known ChromaID Profiles.

The ChromaID F12 Scanner allows customers to evaluate the technology and determine if it is appropriate for their application. The main electronic and optical parts of the ChromaID scanner can be supplied to customers to put in their own products, these parts are called the ‘Scanhead’. A set of ChromaID Developer Tools are also available, which allows customers to develop their own products based on the ChromaID technology.

The ChromaID profile must be stored, managed, and readily accessible. The database can be owned and operated by the end customer, but in the case of thousands of ChromaID profiles database management may be outsourced to Visualant or a third party provider. These database services can be made available on a per-access transaction basis or on a monthly or annual subscription basis. The actual storage location of the database can be cloud-based or local depending on the requirements of access, size of the database and security as defined by the customer. As a result, large databases can be accessed by cell phone or other mobile technologies.

Based on the commercialization plans outlined above, revenue can be derived from several sources:

Sale of the ChromaID F12 Lab Kit and ChromaID Developer Tools.

Licensing of the ChromaID technology,

Sales of the Scanhead and associated licensing and royalties.

ChromaID database administration and management services.

Our Acceleration of Business Development in the United States and Japan.

We are coordinating the sales and marketing efforts of both Visualant and SPP to leverage market data and information in order to focus on specific target vertical markets which have the greatest potential for early adoption. The ChromaID F12 Lab Kit provides a means for us to demonstrate the technology to customers in these markets.

Development of License, Royalty and Other Opportunities

Our plan is to develop license and royalty producing opportunities and partners, including major companies in the US, Europe and Asia. We expect to develop our patent portfolio by continually extending the reach and application of our intellectual property.

Our first major license was signed May 31, 2012 with SPP. Our Business Development team is pursuing other license opportunities with customers in our target markets.

Improve our operations, including the following:

Improve TransTech revenue with new product lines for distribution, including radio frequency ID tracking products and new document authentication products. Visualant and TransTech are working together to expand and promote our capabilities, products and services to their respective markets. TransTech has long standing business relationships in many sectors of the security industry and those relationships are being leveraged to introduce key industry personnel to the ChromaID technology. Visualant sales efforts are also uncovering additional markets and customers that are of interest and potential revenue to TransTech. Additionally, as the Visualant technology is incorporated into more products TransTech expects to be able to pair these products with others to offer expanded solutions for distribution into the security market space improving the profitability of TransTech and the company.

Enhance our investor relation activities.

PRIMARY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

We are exposed to various risks related to our need for additional financing, the sale of significant numbers of our shares and a volatile market price for our common stock. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail below in Part II, Item 1A.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 increased $621,000 to $720,000 as compared to $99,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to commercialization of Visualant’s ChromaID technology and the expenses incurred for the Joint Development Agreement with SPP.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 increased $818,000 to $3,572,000 as compared to $2,754,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to increased business develop, public relations and investor relation activities. Business development, public relation and investor relation expenditures include cash and share issuances to develop markets, license agreements and an investor base for us.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded non-cash expenses of $965,000.

OTHER INCOME/EXPENSE

Other expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $2,728,000 as compared to other expense of $109,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 included $1,449,000 related to loss on the change in derivative liability for the warrants issued on June 14, 2013, $1,150,000 loss on the purchase of warrants and additional investment right, $154,000 for interest expense, offset by $25,000 in other income. The other expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 included interest expense of $129,000, offset by other income of $20,000.

NET LOSS

Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $5,463,000 as compared to a net loss of $1,925,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 for the reasons discussed above. The net loss included non-cash expenses of $3,264,000. We expect losses to continue as we commercialize our ChromaID™ technology.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had cash of $1,710,000 and net working capital of approximately $164,000 (excluding the derivative liability- warrants of $4,184,000) as of June 30, 2013.

We have financed our corporate operations and our technology development through the issuance of convertible debentures, the sale common stock, issuance of common stock in conjunction with an equity line of credit, and loans by our Chief Executive Officer (from April 1, 2013 to June 14, 2013).

We finance TransTech operations from operations and a Secured Credit Facility with BFI Finance Corp.

On June 10, 2013, we entered into a Purchase Agreement, Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and Voting Agreement or the Transaction with Special Situations and forty other accredited investors pursuant to which we issued 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for a total of $5,230,000, which amount includes the conversion of $500,000 in outstanding debt of the Company owed to one of its officers. As part of the Transaction which closed June 14, 2013, we issued to the Investors (i) five year Series A Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share; and (ii) five year Series B Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share. The Transaction was closed to strengthen our balance sheet, to pay the liabilities discussed below, and provide working capital to support the rapid movement of our ChromaID technology into the marketplace. In addition, we have Special Situations as an investor. If exercised, the warrants are expected to provide the following liquidity (before fees):

Series A Warrant- up to $7,845,000

Series B Warrant- up to $10,460,000

The net proceeds from the above-referenced Transaction with Special Situations and the other Investors which closed June 14, 2013, were used in part to pay the obligations discussed previously to: (i) James Gingo to pay the final note payment to James Gingo related to the TransTech stock acquisition, (ii) Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. for the warrant repurchase, (iii) Ascendiant Capital Markets for the option exercise price, and (iv) Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. for the June 30, 2013 payment under the AIR Termination Agreement. The balance of the proceeds from the Transaction will be used by us for technology development, operating expenses and to pay our debts.

We expect to need to obtain additional financing in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may need to restructure our operations, and divest all or a portion of our business.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $2,487,000. This amount was primarily related to a net loss of $5,463,000, an increase in inventory of $346,000 and a reduction in deferred revenue of $667,000, offset by depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses of $3,264,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $264,000.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $12,000. This amount was primarily related to capital expenditures of $24,000, offset by proceeds from the sale of equipment of $12,000.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $3,067,000. This amount was primarily related to net proceeds the issuance of common stock of $4,852,000, proceeds from the line of credit of $109,000, offset by repayment of debt of $1,900,000.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we issued the following:

52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for a total of $5,230,000, which amount includes the conversion of $500,000 in outstanding debt of the Company owed to one of its officers.

19,771,000 shares related to financing transactions with Gemini and Ascendiant that we previously discussed.

993,000 shares to Ascendiant and received $100,000 under the equity line of credit that we previously discussed.

We committed to acquire the Gemini warrant, 4,000,000 Ascendiant shares and the Gemini AIR termination rights as discussed above. This decision was made based on the expected closing of the private placement which closed June 14, 2013 and the need to eliminate the dilution under the Gemini and Ascendiant financing transactions.

Our contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2013 are summarized in the table below:

			Less Than						Greater Than

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded as of June 30, 2013 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting discussed immediately below.

Identified Material Weakness

A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Management identified the following material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting:

Audit Committee: While we have an audit committee, we lack a financial expert. During 2013, the Board expects to appoint an additional independent Director to serve as Audit Committee Chairman who is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and as adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

b) Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during this fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a materially affect, on our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There are certain inherent risks which will have an effect on the Company’s development in the future and the most significant risks and uncertainties known and identified by our management are described below.

WE EXPECT TO NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO SUPPORT OUR TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND ONGOING OPERATIONS AND PAY OUR DEBTS.

We expect that we will need additional financing to implement our business plan and to service our ongoing operations and pay our current debts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure any needed funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed, we may have to restructure our operations.

If we raise additional capital through borrowing or other debt financing, we will incur substantial interest expense. Sales of additional equity securities will dilute on a pro rata basis the percentage ownership of all holders of common stock. When we raise more equity capital in the future, it will result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders.

THE SALE OF A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK COULD DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

Sales or issuances of a large number of shares of common stock in the public market or the perception that sales may occur could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of August 14, 2013, there were approximately 166.7 million shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. If all 18,000,000 of the Series A Warrant shares issued in connection with the private placement with Special Situations are issued, approximately 184,700,000 of the Company’s currently authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock will be issued and outstanding.

In addition, assuming approval of the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company following the special meeting of stockholders as discussed in Business below, an additional 34,300,000 shares will be subject to issuance upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, and 52,300,000 shares will be subject to issuance upon exercise of the Series B Warrants. If all such shares are issued, there would be 271,300,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

The Company has also issued 5,230,000 placement agent warrants and is obligated to issue up to 5,230,000 additional placement agent warrants under certain circumstances as more fully described in the description of the Transaction in “Business” below, which has the potential to add an additional 10,460,000 shares to the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Significant shares of common stock are held by our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders. As affiliates as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or Rule 144 of the Company, our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders may only sell their shares of common stock in the public market pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144.

Some of the present shareholders have acquired shares at prices as low as $0.001 per share, whereas other shareholders have purchased their shares at prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.75 per share.

In addition, as of August 14, 2013, there are also options outstanding for the purchase of 11.0 million common shares at a $0.131 average strike price, and warrants for the purchase of 112.4 million common shares at a $0.173 average exercise price.

These options and warrants could result in further dilution to common stock holders and may affect the market price of the common stock.

OUR PRIVATE PLACEMENT WHICH CLOSED JUNE 14, 2013 MAY REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT IN THE PRICE OF THE WARRANTS ISSUED

The warrants issued in connection with the recent transaction with Special Situations may require an adjustment in the exercise price of the warrants if we issue common stock, warrants or equity below the price that is reflected in the warrants. This adjustment may affect the market price of the common stock.

WE MAY ENGAGE IN ACQUISITIONS, MERGERS, STRATEGIC ALLIANCES, JOINT VENTURES AND DIVESTITURES THAT COULD RESULT IN FINANCIAL RESULTS THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN EXPECTED.

In the normal course of business, we engage in discussions relating to possible acquisitions, equity investments, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures. Such transactions are accompanied by a number of risks, including:

- Use of significant amounts of cash;

- Potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities on potentially unfavorable terms;

- Incurrence of debt on potentially unfavorable terms as well as impairment expenses related to goodwill and amortization expenses related to other intangible assets; and

- The possibility that we may pay too much cash or issue too many of our shares as the purchase price for an acquisition relative to the economic benefits that we ultimately derive from such acquisition.

The process of integrating any acquisition may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The areas where we may face difficulties include:

- Diversion of management time, during the period of negotiation through closing and after closing, from its focus on operating the businesses to issues of integration;

- Decline in employee morale and retention issues resulting from changes in compensation, reporting relationships, future prospects or the direction of the business;

- The need to integrate each Company's accounting, management information, human resource and other administrative systems to permit effective management, and the lack of control if such integration is delayed or not implemented;

- The need to implement controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public Company that may not have been in place in private companies, prior to acquisition;

- The need to incorporate acquired technology, content or rights into our products and any expenses related to such integration; and

- The need to successfully develop any acquired in-process technology to realize any value capitalized as intangible assets.

From time to time, we have also engaged in discussions with candidates regarding the potential acquisitions of our product lines, technologies and businesses. If a divestiture such as this does occur, we cannot be certain that our business, operating results and financial condition will not be materially and adversely affected. A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including our ability to:

- Effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to any purchaser;

- Identify and separate the intellectual property to be divested from the intellectual property that we wish to retain;

- Reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business; and

- Collect the proceeds from any divestitures.

In addition, if customers of the divested business do not receive the same level of service from the new owners, this may adversely affect our other businesses to the extent that these customers also purchase other products offered by us. All of these efforts require varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations.

If we do not realize the expected benefits or synergies of any divestiture transaction, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and stock price could be negatively impacted.

WE MAY INCUR LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.

We have experienced net losses since inception. As of June 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $19.4 million. There can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability.

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN AND MAY CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE.

The market price of our common stock has been and is likely in the future to be volatile. Our common stock price may fluctuate in response to factors such as:

	•	Announcements by us regarding liquidity, significant acquisitions, equity investments and divestitures, strategic relationships, addition or loss of significant customers and contracts, capital expenditure commitments and litigation;
	•	Issuance of convertible or equity securities and related warrants for general or merger and acquisition purposes;
	•	Issuance or repayment of debt, accounts payable or convertible debt for general or merger and acquisition purposes;
	•	Sale of a significant number of shares of our common stock by shareholders;
	•	General market and economic conditions;
	•	Quarterly variations in our operating results;
	•	Investor and public relation activities;
	•	Announcements of technological innovations;
	•	New product introductions by us or our competitors;
	•	Competitive activities; and
	•	Additions or departures of key personnel.

These broad market and industry factors may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

TRADING IN THE COMPANY’S STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC’S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS.

Our stock is categorized as a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than US$ 5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than US$ 5.00 per share, subject to certain exclusions, none of which apply to our stock (e.g., net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000 or average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years). Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Finally, broker-dealers may not handle penny stocks under $0.10 per share.

These disclosure requirements reduce the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock to current and future investors, resulting in limited ability for investors to sell their shares.

FINRA SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A SHAREHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SALE OUR STOCK.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

The penny stock rules may discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock to current and future investors, resulting in limited ability for investors to sell their shares.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of key management and other personnel, some of whom could be difficult to replace. We do not maintain key man life insurance covering certain of our officers. Our success will depend on the performance of our officers, our ability to retain and motivate our officers, our ability to integrate new officers into our operations, and the ability of all personnel to work together effectively as a team. Our officers do not have employment agreements. Our failure to retain and recruit officers and other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

WE HAVE LIMITED INSURANCE.

We have limited directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and commercial liability insurance policies. Any significant claims would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

OUR JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH SUMITOMO PRECISION PRODUCTS CO. LTD IS IMPORTANT TO OUR OPERATIONS AND IS SUBJECT TO EXPIRATION.

On May 31, 2012, we entered into a Joint Research and Product Development Agreement with SPP for the commercialization of our ChromaID technology. The term of the Joint Development Agreement was extended to December 31, 2013. This Joint Development Agreement focuses on the commercialization of the Company’s ChromaID™ technology. The Company’s failure to operate in accordance with the terms of the Joint Development Agreement could result in the agreement not being renewed at the expiration of its current term.

WE NEED TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IF OUR BUSINESS IS TO SUCCEED.

Our financial statements and notes for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 indicate that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report result from net losses, negative working capital, and the need for additional financing to implement our business plan and service our debt repayments. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR IP RIGHTS, WHICH WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS.

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to protect our IP rights.

There can be no assurance that:

•	any of our existing patents will continue to be held valid, if challenged;
•	patents will be issued for any of our pending applications;
•	any claims allowed from existing or pending patents will have sufficient scope or strength to protect us;
•	our patents will be issued in the primary countries where our products are sold in order to protect our rights and potential commercial advantage; or
•	any of our products or technologies will not infringe on the patents of other companies.

If we are enjoined from selling our products, or if we are required to develop new technologies or pay significant monetary damages or are required to make substantial royalty payments, our business and results of operations would be harmed.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL REQUIREMENTS, AND OUR COSTS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE WITH, OR OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH EXISTING AND FUTURE REQUIREMENTS, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

We must comply with corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as additional rules and regulations currently in place and that may be subsequently adopted by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These laws, rules, and regulations continue to evolve and may become increasingly stringent in the future. We are required to include management’s report on internal controls as part of our annual report pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We strive to continuously evaluate and improve our control structure to help ensure that we comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The financial cost of compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations is expected to remain substantial.

Our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

While we have an audit committee, we lack a financial expert. During 2013, the Board expects to appoint an additional independent Director to serve as Audit Committee Chairman who is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the SEC and as adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with these laws, rules, and regulations that address corporate governance, internal control reporting, and similar matters. Failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations could materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition, and the value of our securities.

THE OFFERING MAY NOT COVER ALL DEBTS DUE IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.

The funds received by the Company in the Special Situations transaction may not cover all debts and other obligations due in the coming months. We may need additional financing within the next six months. If we raise additional capital through borrowing or other debt financing, we will incur substantial interest expense. Sales of additional equity securities will dilute on a pro rata basis the percentage ownership of all holders of common stock. When we raise more equity capital in the future, it will result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders.

WE MAY ISSUE PREFERRED STOCK THAT COULD HAVE RIGHTS THAT ARE PREFERENTIAL TO THE RIGHTS OF COMMON STOCK THAT COULD DISCOURAGE POTENTIALLY BENEFICIAL TRANSACTIONS TO OUR COMMON SHAREHOLDERS.

An issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could result in a class of outstanding securities that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over our common stock and could, upon conversion or otherwise, have all of the rights of our common stock. Our Board of Directors' authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve. The issuance of preferred stock could impair the voting, dividend and liquidation rights of common stockholders without their approval.

IF THE COMPANY WERE TO DISSOLVE OR WIND-UP, HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY NOT RECEIVE A LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTION.

If we were to wind-up or dissolve the Company and liquidate and distribute our assets, our shareholders would share ratably in our assets only after we satisfy any amounts we owe to our creditors. If our liquidation or dissolution were attributable to our inability to profitably operate our business, then it is likely that we would have material liabilities at the time of liquidation or dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot give you any assurance that sufficient assets will remain available after the payment of our creditors to enable you to receive any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares you may hold.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we had the following unregistered sales of equity securities.

On April 26, 2013, Ascendiant was issued a total of 4,565,068 shares of common stock as a result of Ascendiant’s cashless exercise of a warrant. On January 23, 2013, we agreed to repurchase the Ascendiant Warrant for a purchase price of $300,000, payment of which was due by March 31, 2013; however, we did not complete that purchase, thereby enabling Ascendiant to exercise the Ascendiant Warrant on April 26, 2013. A notice filing under Regulation D was filed with the SEC May 3, 2013.

We entered into an Option Agreement with Ascendiant dated April 26, 2013, pursuant to which we had the option to purchase from Ascendiant 4,000,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000. On May 31, 2013, the Company exercised its option to purchase the 4,000,000 Option Shares from Ascendiant and paid to Ascendiant the $300,000 purchase price. To date, Ascendiant has delivered only 2,284,525 of the 4,000,000 Option Shares purchased by the Company, and has failed to deliver the remaining 1,715,475 Option Shares. On June 17, 2013, we filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against Ascendiant in the Orange County Superior Court of California (Case No. 30-2013-00656770-CU-BC-CJC) for breach of contract, seeking damages, specific performance and injunctive relief against Ascendiant. In its Complaint, we alleged that Ascendiant breached its obligations under the Option Agreement by delivering to us only 2,284,525 of the 4,000,000 Option Shares and failing to deliver the remaining 1,715,475 Option Shares. The Company has filed a motion for preliminary injunction with the California Superior Court , seeking preliminary injunctive relief requiring Ascendiant to transfer the remaining 1,715,475 Option Shares to Visualant or, in the alternative, enjoining Ascendiant from transferring, selling, or otherwise encumbering the Option Shares. The Compliant is currently being reviewed by the California Superior Court.

On April 30, 2013, we issued 120,000 shares of restricted common stock to David Markowski for services related to the acquisition of TransTech. The shares were valued at $0.10 per share. We expensed $12,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The shares do not have registration rights. A notice filing under Regulation D was filed with the SEC May 16, 2013.

On June 10, 2013, we entered into a Purchase Agreement, Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement and Voting Agreement or the Transaction with Special Situations and forty other accredited investors pursuant to which we issued 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share for a total of $5,230,000, which amount includes the conversion of $500,000 in outstanding debt of the Company owed to one of its officers. As part of the Transaction which closed June 14, 2013, we issued to the Investors (i) five year Series A Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share; and (ii) five year Series B Warrants to purchase a total of 52,300,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share. Since we currently have an insufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to permit the exercise of all of the Warrants, the Warrants were issued subject to authorization and approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company by its stockholders at a special meeting of the stockholders to be held in August 2013. A notice filing under Regulation D was filed with the SEC June 18, 2013.

We also issued 5,230,000 placement agent warrants exercisable at $0.10 per share to GVC Capital, with an obligation to issue up to 5,230,000 additional placement agent warrants exercisable at $0.15 per share. The $0.15 placement agent warrants shall issue only upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants by the Investors, and are issuable ratably based upon the number of Warrants exercised by the Investors. The placement agent warrants have a term of five years from the date of closing of the Transaction.
