PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
          We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company in 1998, organized and began operations on January 1, 1999 and converted into a Delaware corporation on April 25, 2000. Our current business focus is to develop hydrogen fuel cartridge technology and designs as well as hydrogen batteries comprised of a fuel cell and our proprietary hydrogen storage technology for use in portable electronic devices for the military, industrial, medical and consumer electronics markets. We license our fuel cartridge technology and designs to companies who develop fuel cell systems. We also develop hydrogen batteries and intend to produce and sell these products. We believe our hydrogen fuel cartridge technology with a licensee’s fuel cell is a portable power source that can offer runtime, weight, safety and cost advantages versus existing battery solutions. On December 29, 2006, we acquired Gecko Energy Technologies, Inc, a fuel cell company to provide us with the ability to deliver a complete hydrogen battery product to customers.
Our Hydrogen Fuel Cartridge Technology
          Our hydrogen fuel cartridge technology provides a unique way to safely store and deliver hydrogen energy in a “battery” sized package. Systems that utilize our proprietary Hydrogen on Demand® technology provide what we believe to be an excellent value proposition for a number of high performance applications. In one architecture of our system, the energy is stored in a sodium borohydride fuel blend, which, when exposed to a catalyst releases hydrogen (stored energy) instantly. The fuel blends used in our hydrogen battery technology are comprised of a combination of water, sodium borohydride and other chemicals. Other methods of hydrogen generation using sodium borohydride and other chemical hydrides are under development and may use different catalysts and/or fuel blends.
          The hydrogen produced by our hydrogen fuel cartridge technology is converted into electricity by a fuel cell. A fuel cell transforms hydrogen and oxygen directly into electrical power and produces power as long as the hydrogen and oxygen are supplied to it. There are two main categories of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells that we currently work with: “active” fuel cells and “passive” fuel cells. The main difference between active and passive fuel cells is that active fuel cells require more active components such as pumps, compressors and heat exchangers to reach optimal performance and increased robustness while passive fuel cells are designed to work with little to no active components. As a result of this difference, passive fuel cells are much less expensive to produce and smaller, but cannot operate in extreme conditions. Accordingly, for applications that demand a low cost or very small fuel cell, passive fuel cells will be the preferred solution. Higher performance applications which require additional robustness and higher power output (over 30 watts) will generally need an active fuel cell. Both types of fuel cells are fully compatible with our hydrogen fuel cartridge technology and we partner with companies to integrate the appropriate fuel cells with our hydrogen battery technology to fully address applications in our target markets.
          We co-develop hydrogen fuel cell systems that are comprised of a combination of our partners’ fuel cells and disposable fuel cartridges based on our technology. The fuel cells in some cases will be integrated into the electronics of the device and in other cases external to the device, depending on the application requirements. Hydrogen is supplied to the fuel cell by our safe, easy-to-use disposable fuel cartridges which will in many devices fit into the existing rechargeable battery bay.
          In the beginning of 2006, the Company established relationships with Jadoo Power Systems, a private California based company that manufactures and sells fuel cell power products for first responder, broadcast video, and military applications. We are developing a single, standard fuel canister based on our proprietary Hydrogen on Demand® technology which can be used with all of Jadoo’s existing fuel cell products. We expect that the Company’s solution will deliver the same runtime as the current hydrogen canister offered by Jadoo at less than half of the weight. The Company expects that the Hydrogen on Demand® canisters will be manufactured initially in whole or in part by Millennium Cell with Jadoo providing key interconnect components. Under a program funded by the Special Operations Command (“SOCOM”), we expect to deliver fuel canisters which are compatible with Jadoo’s IFS24 radio power system to SOCOM for evaluation in the first quarter of 2007. As this product further evolves, we expect to supply up to 250 fuel canisters in mid-2007 as part of the Greater Columbia Fuel Cell Challenge. These canisters will provide the hydrogen fuel for Jadoo’s line of N-Gen and XRT Fuel Cell Power Units targeted for use with emergency responders, Homeland Security and other “off-grid” power applications in Columbia, South Carolina. We believe this will be the largest field evaluation of products currently using our technology. Should we receivable favorable test results, commercial product introduction by Jadoo could begin before the end of 2007.

Our Fuel Cell Technology
          In December 2006 we acquired Gecko Energy Technologies, Inc. (“Gecko”), a fuel cell company that was founded in 2004 to develop low-cost, longer-lasting power sources for a wide range of applications. The acquisition was structured as a merger in which Gecko merged with and into our wholly owned subsidiary, M.C.E. Venture, L.L.C., with M.C.E. Venture L.L.C. surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (changing its name to Gecko Energy Technologies, LLC). We issued an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to the founding stockholders of Gecko as merger consideration. Prior to the acquisition, the company was a party to a joint development program with Gecko under which the company had acquired approximately 34.8% of Gecko’s shares and was obligated to increase its equity ownership to approximately 48% in exchange for a cash payment of $1,500,000 by the end of 2006. The agreement governing the joint development program and the related stock purchase agreement were terminated as a result of our acquisition of Gecko.
          We believe that Gecko has the ability to develop efficient and consistently performing, thin, planar Proton Exchange Membrane (“PEM”) fuel cells that we expect will ultimately become a standard component in many portable devices as the need for improved runtime increases.
          Gecko has developed a breakthrough fuel cell design that can increase design flexibility for electronic device designers. PowerSkin™ is a trademark of Gecko that describes how a fuel cell can be designed into the exterior of a portable device with virtually no loss of internal volume. This internal volume can then be fully utilized by storing more energy in the form of hydrogen (stored either in a chemical hydride or metal hydride canister) than is possible with current battery chemistries and form factors. Unlike a traditional battery, this allows for separation of the power and energy components and facilitates scaling of the energy component to meet different application requirements.
          We believe that the promise of fuel cell technology has not yet been fully realized because of numerous engineering challenges that have resulted in system complexity and increased cost. A fuel cell requires air to operate and the temperature, humidification, and flow rate of the air are critical factors in the fuel cell’s performance. For these reasons, designers of fuel cells have had to add additional components to control air flow, temperature, and humidification. As a result, most of the space required by small portable fuel cell power systems is comprised of what is commonly referred to in the fuel cell industry as “Balance of Plant” or “BOP”. This BOP consists of pumps, fans, valves and other devices that are used to control the movement of liquid fuel, air flow, temperature, and humidity. To greatly reduce the cost and challenge associated with commercializing fuel cell systems, Gecko’s fuel cell design eliminates the mechanical BOP and replaces it with a proprietary electronic control system, thus reducing cost and system complexity by eliminating pumps, fans and compressors. Gecko’s fuel cell design employs known electronic circuitry and proprietary control algorithms to ensure stable operation of the low cost fuel cell system. Another benefit of the Gecko approach versus competing fuel cell technology is the use of much less volume within a device. By replacing a number of mechanical BOP components with electronics, the fuel cell occupies a small fraction of the volume traditionally required. Although the control algorithm software is proprietary, the electronics used are conventional and scalable, which we believe reduces the overall development risk of new products.
          In addition to BOP costs, another major economic challenge of fuel cells lies in the process of manufacturing the cells themselves. Conventional fuel cell stacks are comprised of many discrete mechanical parts, fragile membranes and compressed gas seals. The assembly process requires skilled labor to hand assemble fuel cell stacks and systems. Each stack must then be tested and sometimes reassembled to ensure proper performance. Gecko has addressed these manufacturing and assembly concerns by designing a thin, planar array fuel cell that has fewer parts than conventional fuel cells and can be assembled and sealed in a single step. Gecko uses proven production technologies such as lamination and injection molding to produce light, inexpensive and reliable plastic fuel cells. The manufacturing processes can be scaled to produce numbers of cells from hundreds to millions. Manufacturing scalability is an important characteristic of the Gecko PowerSkin™ technology that most competing technologies do not possess.
Business Strategy
          Our primary business model is to license our technology to fuel cell manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other product-focused entities so that they can integrate fuel cells with our fuel technology to develop hydrogen batteries that meet their specifications. With the addition of Gecko, we plan to develop and sell products directly to customers in our target markets within 24 months. Additionally, we expect we will manufacture fuel cartridges for our licensees initially at low volumes but we do not expect to continue manufacturing production longer term in higher volumes. We will continue to license our fuel cartridge technology to companies that are interested and able to distribute replacement cartridges in sufficient quantities and locales to meet mass market users’ needs.
          To date, we have secured key fuel cell partnerships that cover all four of our key market segments: portable power sources for military, industrial, medical and consumer electronics devices. These companies with whom we have partnered have different

technologies with different strengths that we expect to utilize to fully address our focus markets. Some of these partners focus on active fuel cell products that are generally higher power and are robust enough for professional and military use, but are too large and costly for most consumer use. For other applications, there are inexpensive and thin fuel cells that are suitable for lighter duty which we plan to address with Gecko fuel cells. We believe that ultimately there are opportunities in our target markets for both active and passive fuel cells and each are compatible for use with our hydrogen storage technology.
          Strategic Relationship with The Dow Chemical Company
          To accelerate the path towards product commercialization, we entered into a strategic relationship with The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) on April 25, 2005. Dow is a leader in science and technology, providing innovative chemical and plastic products and services to many essential consumer markets. With annual sales of $46 billion, Dow serves customers in more than 175 countries and a wide range of markets. In this three-year collaboration, the Company and Dow are striving for the commercialization of Millennium Cell’s hydrogen battery technology in the military and/or consumer electronics markets. Dow is supplying product design, chemical and material analysis, and product development resources to help create products that are successful for these markets. Upon achievement of defined milestones towards these goals, the joint development program provides for Dow’s increase in its human resource contribution and will earn its equity ownership in Millennium Cell.
          The Dow joint development agreement describes a series of four milestones involving military and/or consumer electronics applications. Each milestone is achieved upon our successful completion of one of either the defined military objectives or consumer objectives for such milestone. Completion of all milestones is designed to culminate in a finished cartridge and fuel cell system that is commercially available for either military or consumer use. The military objectives necessary to achieve the first milestone under the Dow joint development agreement were completed in April 2006 upon delivery by Protonex Technology Corporation of the final prototype system of a 30-watt power source for field testing by the US Air Force and/or the US Army. We believe that the second milestone will likely be achieved by June 2007, which we expect will result from a higher number of test units ordered and delivered to the U.S. Air Force and/or the U.S. Army. See “Licensees and Development Programs.”
          Licensees and Development Programs
          Our first licensee in the military market was Protonex Technology Corporation. In 2004, Millennium Cell and Protonex entered into a joint development and licensing agreement that resulted in collaborative efforts towards the military market. Under the agreement, Protonex licensed Millennium Cell’s technology for use in the manufacture and sale of complete hydrogen batteries to customers. The objective of the agreement is to combine Protonex active fuel cells with Millennium Cell’s hydrogen storage technology to create a hydrogen fuel cell system that is lighter and less expensive than the most commonly used military batteries.
          Millennium Cell is a sub-contractor to Protonex in the development of a 30-watt power source (“P2”) for the US Air Force Research Laboratory (“USAFRL”) and the US Army Research Office (“USARO”) under two separate funded programs. According to our research, the Protonex P2 is 62% lighter and 20% less expensive over the course of 30 missions as compared with the lithium sulfur dioxide battery used today for this application. Today, a soldier on a 72-hour mission needs to carry 13 batteries that weigh an aggregate of about 29 pounds. Our solution would be comprised of a fuel cell module accompanied by 3 fuel cartridges and would collectively weigh about 12 pounds. Additionally, our system is expected to have the ability to monitor the amount of energy (run-time) remaining in the fuel cartridge at any given time. This is significant for a military operation as soldiers returning from missions with partially depleted batteries will often dispose of them in favor of a fresh battery when going on the next mission. This is a significant waste of energy and adds unnecessary cost.
          Protonex delivered the initial prototype systems for field testing by the US Air Force and/or the US Army in the first quarter of 2006. Throughout 2006, Protonex and Millennium Cell have used the feedback from these initial tests to further refine and ruggedize the system. Currently, a number of systems are under evaluation by the Department of Defense’s Fuel Cell Test and Evaluation Center in Johnstown, PA. The results of this testing have not yet been reported. We plan to use this fuel cell system as a platform to enter the industrial and medical markets. Once system evaluation is complete, together with Protonex we plan to sample these systems to potential customers later in 2007.
          In February 2006, we entered into a joint development and licensing agreement with Jadoo Power Systems, Inc. As part of the agreement, Jadoo licensed Millennium Cell’s technology for use in certain industrial and military applications. Similar to our agreement with Protonex, Jadoo and Millennium Cell are working together to combine Jadoo’s fuel cells with our hydrogen storage technology to create a hydrogen fuel cell system. Jadoo is currently a manufacturer of fuel cell power systems that are used today in broadcast video and surveillance applications and Jadoo has recently introduced a product for first responders called the XRT. The XRT is designed to provide emergency power in the field for first responders to charge radios and power other critical devices. The current hydrogen storage technology being used in Jadoo’s products is metal hydride technology.

Table of Contents

          In 2006, Jadoo also subcontracted Millennium Cell to develop a standard prototype fuel canister for a military radio power source called the IFS 24 which is under development by Jadoo for the Special Operations Command (“SOCOM”). This fuel cell system is expected to be delivered for evaluation in March 2007. Since we are developing a standard Hydrogen on Demand® fuel canister that can work with all of Jadoo’s fuel cell systems, we believe that commercialization of these systems will likely be rapid once product development is complete. Our canisters will provide 50% weight savings without any loss of performance and functionality as compared to the metal hydride canisters Jadoo’s systems use today. Millennium Cell has agreed to manufacture and deliver up to 250 fuel canisters to the State of South Carolina in mid-2007 to support alpha testing of this new product. If these tests are successful, we anticipate sales of fuel canisters could begin as early as late 2007.
          Market Opportunity for Our Licensees Products
          As portable electronic devices continue to become more advanced and look to offer greater capabilities and functionality, device manufacturers, service providers and consumers are seeking significantly increased power and energy from portable power sources. Since we believe that batteries presently used in these devices are approaching their technological limits, the power gap that already exists between ever-increasing energy demands of electronic applications and the amount of energy in the batteries will increase even more. We believe that since hydrogen batteries have greater energy density and in many cases are more affordable than current battery technology, hydrogen batteries using our technology should provide a major technological leap over current battery technology.
          Our Gecko PowerSkin products are being designed to significantly increase device run time compared to existing lithium-ion batteries using the same volume and less weight. Our technology eliminates the need to become tied to an electrical wall outlet for recharging by providing an instantaneous replacement through the use of disposable fuel cartridges. Upon commercial success of our products, portable electronics devices will be “truly wireless”, capable of going anywhere, anytime with no need to plug in or wait for a recharge.
          Due to the scalability of our technology from milliwatts to kilowatts, we have the ability to address a number of significant markets without the need to develop alternative pathways to deliver the energy. We believe this is a substantial advantage over many competing energy technologies.
          Target Markets
          We are addressing the military portable power market first with our licensees Protonex and Jadoo. The military is well known as a proving ground for new technologies and is facing problems for which we believe that our technology is an attractive solution. A recent Frost and Sullivan report indicated that a profound problem facing the military today is the steady increase in energy demand driven by the power hungry new equipment used by soldiers. (Frost and Sullivan 2004) Such equipment includes laser-designators, chemical-biological sensors, uniform ventilators, exoskeleton enhancements, night vision systems and communication equipment. Considering the military’s 72-hour mission duration requirements for certain applications, the capabilities of traditional batteries have been far exceeded. From our alliances with Protonex, Gecko, Jadoo and other future partners, we expect hydrogen fuel cell systems will deliver better performance at a lower cost than the batteries used today. Each year in peacetime conditions, the military uses more than $150 million worth of batteries for soldier power in training missions.(Frost and Sullivan 2004). In wartime, the expenditure on batteries can be much larger. We expect this market to grow as the soldiers of the future utilize more high tech equipment. We are also considering other applications within the military that could benefit from our technology, such as low power wireless sensors, battery chargers and unmanned vehicles.
          We plan to use the products developed for the military with Protonex as one platform for entering medical and industrial markets, each of which has a diverse customer base with unique energy storage needs and challenges. We also plan to leverage our newest licensee, Jadoo, and our development activities with Gecko, to penetrate these markets further. The energy demand for portable medical and industrial equipment has seen a sharp rise and shows no signs of leveling off. Driven by an aging population, an increase in decentralized care centers and a need for equipment and services closer to patients’ required point of treatment, the total battery market for medical equipment is approaching $500 million and continues to grow (Frost and Sullivan 2004). Portable diagnostic equipment, mobile medical carts and patient mobility equipment such as wheelchairs and scooters are some examples of medical equipment that need extended runtime and lighter energy sources. The current battery market for industrial equipment is equally as large at approximately $500 million (Frost and Sullivan 2004). Examples of target applications within the industrial market are battery chargers, wireless sensors and ruggedized information technology devices.
          The “power gap” between what current battery technology can provide versus what portable electronic devices require is growing rapidly in the consumer electronics market as well. Our hydrogen battery technology provides a major technological leap as compared to current battery technology in terms of energy density, lightweight operation and in many cases affordability. Our

solutions can be integrated into devices, which other fuel cell related technologies have to date been unable to demonstrate. We believe that Millennium Cell’s energy dense fuel cartridge together with a flat, passive fuel cell (such as the one offered by Gecko) have the potential to meet the user demand for increased mobility in consumer markets as well as in certain industrial, medical and military applications.
          The total market for rechargeable batteries in consumer electronics currently stands at nearly $6 billion and is growing at an annual rate of more than 10% (Frost and Sullivan 2004). At more than $1 billion, (Frost and Sullivan 2004) the laptop computer market is in need of an extended runtime power source. Within the next several years, laptop computer shipments are projected to overtake desktop shipments (Frost and Sullivan 2004), further intensifying the demand for extended runtime solutions. There is also a growing need for instant connectivity and increased runtime in handheld computers, personal digital assistants, cellular phones, and other crossover devices that provide increased mobility, connectivity and new functionality for consumers and other highly mobile and professional users such as first responders and military personnel. Wireless handset chargers for these types of devices is a relatively new device category that is growing and can be addressed by our technology.
          Gecko’s planned market approach is to utilize available technology and product development opportunities from military applications to mature the technology to the point of commercial readiness, then to introduce products into commercial markets — primarily industrial and medical. These markets are highly segmented, which we believe provides Gecko with an opportunity to gain valuable customer experience in lower volume, custom product applications. If success is achieved in these markets, we expect Gecko will expand into consumer electronics markets that can provide additional revenue for the company.
Fuel Distribution and Infrastructure
          We intend to evolve the fueling and refueling supply chain for hydrogen batteries based on customer need and convenience. Today, consumer electronic device power requirements are satisfied by the purchase of self-contained solid-state disposable batteries and rechargeable battery systems. In the future, we expect that the hydrogen battery supply chain will be similar to that used by disposable batteries today. Millennium Cell’s technology is designed to integrate well with diverse customer fueling requirements because of the unique safety and convenience in storing, transporting, distributing, and using sodium borohydride fuel. Depending on which of the company’s hydrogen storage methods and fuel formulations are chosen for a particular application, Millennium Cell may need to develop and implement proper fuel cartridge handling, recycling and/or disposal procedures to ensure that discharged fuel cartridges are handled according to local, state and federal regulations.
          An important attribute of our technology is our development of a variety of novel sodium borohydride fuel blends. Our fuel is non-flammable and safe when handled appropriately. Our fuel can be utilized in solid or liquid forms and we expect that hydrogen fuel cartridges for each fuel type will become successful for different applications to best meet our customers’ needs. We are currently working to obtain the required approvals from the appropriate regulatory organizations that will enable our technology to gain broader acceptance in applications where consumers would desire the ability to carry or use hydrogen batteries in passenger aircraft. We believe this is limiting to only certain applications in consumer electronics markets and thus will not affect product introductions in other markets. We have a plan in place to secure these approvals in sufficient time so as to not delay our timetable for consumer electronics market entry.
Research and Development
          We continue to develop new technologies which will produce higher energy density and enable longer device runtimes. These new technologies will also have indefinite shelf life and other attractive characteristics. These technologies are at various stages of development but we expect to consider them for integration into our licensees’ and our own products within the next few years.
          Our research programs are funded through a variety of sources including the U.S. Department of Energy, various branches of the U.S. Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation. These programs together represent a significant portion of our overall revenues and cost-shared program reimbursements. As the U.S. government represents a single customer, the loss of one or more of these programs could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
Intellectual Property Rights
          Our hydrogen fuel cartridge technology is the culmination of work reflected in more than 125 patents (either granted or pending) that, we believe, collectively position us as a leader in system and fuel blend technologies used to convert sodium borohydride to hydrogen energy for use in portable electronic device applications.

Table of Contents

          We own 19 U.S. and 11 non-U.S. patents, which cover a wide variety of devices, systems, uses and applications for various boron chemistries. We have filed an additional 34 U.S. and 39 non-U.S. patent applications. Our earliest patent expires in 2015 and the most recently filed applications, if issued, will not expire until 2026.
          Our intellectual property strategy is to select key Millennium Cell inventions and take appropriate measures to protect our rights to practice and license these inventions. We rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and license and confidentiality agreements to protect and derive income from our proprietary technology.
          We use patents as the frontline means of protecting our technological advances and innovations, such as our proprietary hydrogen generators, components, materials, operating techniques and systems and, therefore, the enforcement of our patents is critical to our business. We have adopted a proactive approach to identifying patentable inventions and securing patent protection through the timely filing and aggressive prosecution of patent applications. Patent applications are filed in the United States and internationally, in countries carefully chosen based on the likely value and enforceability of intellectual property rights.
          There are other companies who claim to be working on the generation of hydrogen or electricity from sodium borohydride. We believe we are strongly positioned in these areas as a result of several years of intellectual property and know-how development. We actively monitor competitive activity and will enforce our patent rights to the fullest extent.
Competition
          We expect hydrogen fuel cell systems that utilize our technology to compete with fuel cell based power systems that utilize both direct and indirect energy conversion methods. Direct conversion may involve fuels such as methanol, ethanol and sodium borohydride that are converted into electrons through a direct fuel cell system. The indirect method of energy conversion is to generate hydrogen and convert it to electricity through a fuel cell in a two-step process. This is the method utilized by Millennium Cell’s Hydrogen on Demand® technology. There are competing solutions which also use an indirect method based on another fuel such as methanol. Our primary competitors are companies developing hydrogen storage and generation technologies such as Lynntech, Trulite and Seiko. Secondary competitors include companies developing small fuel cells for the portable electronics market such as Ultracell, MTI Micro Fuel Cells, Smart Fuel Cells and Medis Technologies.
          We believe other large electronic device companies may also be developing fuel cells based on competing fuel sources for the portable electronics market. Toshiba Corporation, NEC Corporation, Hitachi, Ltd., Casio Computer Co. Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Sony Corporation have all publicly disclosed information about their fuel cell development programs. Those companies all possess greater financial resources than Millennium Cell. We believe that there are other companies that we may not know of that are also developing fuel cells and competing fuel sources for portable electronic devices.
          We also expect indirect competition from companies who manufacture and design existing battery products (both disposable and rechargeable). Existing battery products are the incumbent solution with the significant advantage of having commercially available products today. These companies are continuously investing in further research and development to improve their existing products and explore alternative technologies.
          We expect hydrogen fuel cell systems to compete on the basis of reduced volume and weight, increased length of operating time, greater convenience and lower cost.
Raw Materials
          Sodium borohydride is manufactured from a base material called borax. According to our estimates, there are approximately 600 million metric tons of borax raw materials worldwide, and the United States is among the largest holders of borax reserves in the world. Borax is most commonly found in dried lakes or sea beds, and it is mined at the surface using drag lines, whereby buckets are continuously dragged across the ground scraping borax from the surface. Currently, a limited number of manufacturers make sodium borohydride as a specialty chemical. Despite the great quantities of reserves and current annual production of borax, there are few commercial applications that require sodium borohydride today. The most common application for sodium borohydride is for use as a bleaching agent in the paper industry. Up until now, the relatively limited commercial uses of sodium borohydride have allowed manufacturing to continue using technology from the early 1950s. We believe there are significant opportunities to improve this manufacturing technology which are being pursued under our research programs with the U.S. Department of Energy and others.
          In as much as we intend to focus primarily on research and development, and not on large scale manufacturing, we do not believe that our costs to comply with federal, state and local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, will have a material effect on our capital

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
          If any of the factors or conditions summarized in the following risks actually occurs, our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed, and the trading price of our common stock could decrease. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we currently believe may materially affect us. Other sections of this Annual Report may include additional factors that could have an effect on our business and financial performance. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are unaware or which we currently deem immaterial also may become important factors that affect us, our business and our prospects.
          Risks Relating To Our Business
We are a development stage company, which has only been in business for a limited time.
          We completed our initial public offering in August 2000. Due to the nature of the emerging industries in which we compete, some aspects of our business plan rest on the beliefs formed by our management and have not necessarily been supported by independent sources. As a result, there can be no guarantee as to the adequacy of our business plan and there is a limited basis for evaluating us.
We have incurred substantial losses and expect continued losses for the next 18 to 24 months. There can be no assurance that we can achieve profitability, and even if we do become profitable, that we can sustain profitability.
          We have incurred substantial losses since our formation and had an accumulated deficit equal to $108,206,472 as of December 31, 2006. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the next 18 to 24 months as we continue to make significant investments in commercialization activities. It continues to be difficult to predict accurately the timing and rate of market adoption, if any, of products using our technology. Accordingly, we cannot determine with certainty when or if we will achieve profitability, and even if we do achieve profitability, whether we can sustain or increase profitability.
We may need future capital to complete our product development and commercialization plans. If we are able to raise additional capital, it may dilute our existing stockholders or restrict our ability to operate our business.
          Our working capital requirements continue to be significant. To date, we have been dependent primarily on the net proceeds of our initial public offering and private placements of convertible debt and equity securities. Although we recently (in February 2007) sold $6,000,000 of our unsecured convertible debentures, our working capital requirements depend and will continue to depend on numerous factors, including the timing of revenues, the expense involved in commercializing our products, realizing cost reductions on our technology, and the cost involved in protecting our proprietary rights. Accordingly, the proceeds from our recent financing and our other existing capital resources may not be sufficient to fund our future operations. We currently have no committed sources of, or other arrangements with respect to, additional financing. If additional working capital is required, it may dilute our existing stockholders or restrict our ability to run our business.
We expect our future operating results to vary from quarter to quarter, and increase the likelihood that we may fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts and investors at any given time.
          We expect our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition, the Company will be required to incur interest expense upon conversion of the unsecured convertible debentures or preferred stock into common stock at the time of, and to the extent of, such conversion. As a result of each of the foregoing, quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenues, interest expense and operating results may not be meaningful. In addition, due to our stage of development, we cannot predict our future revenues or results of operations accurately. It is possible that in one or more future quarters our operating results will fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. If this happens, the trading price of our common stock may decline.
We may be subject to litigation resulting from common stock volatility, which may result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources and could have a negative effect on our business and results of operations.
          The stock market has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Many factors may cause the market price for our common stock to decline, perhaps substantially, including:
—    failure to meet our product development and commercialization milestones,

8


Table of Contents

—     demand for our common stock,
 
—    technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies,
 
—    investor perception of our industry or our prospects, or
 
—    general technology or economic trends.
          In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. As a result, we may be involved in a securities class action litigation in the future. Such litigation often results in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources and could have a negative effect on our business and results of operation.
If we or our collaborative partners fail to perform under our joint development and research agreements, our ability to commercialize our proposed products could be impaired.
          Our success depends upon maintaining our relationships with our current collaborative partners and other parties with whom we have strategic and other relationships and obtaining additional joint research and development partners for the development, testing, manufacturing, marketing and commercialization of their and our proposed products. In addition, we may depend on our partners’ and other parties’ expertise and dedication of sufficient resources to develop and commercialize our proposed products. We have granted, and may in the future grant, to our research and development partners, rights to license and commercialize products developed under research and development arrangements. Under these arrangements, our research and development partners may control key decisions relating to the development of such products. The rights of our research and development partners would limit our flexibility in considering alternatives for the commercialization of our products. If we fail to successfully develop these relationships, or if our research and development partners fail to successfully develop or commercialize any of our products, it may delay or prevent us from developing or commercializing our proposed products in a competitive and timely manner and would have a material adverse effect on our business.
We rely on government funding for certain research and development and technology demonstration projects.
          We receive reimbursement from government sources for certain of our research and development and technology demonstration projects, particularly from the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. Loss of any of such funding for any reason or a material decrease in funding for research may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Our future plans could be adversely affected if we are unable to attract or retain key personnel.
          We have attracted a highly skilled management team and specialized workforce, including scientists, engineers, researchers and marketing professionals. Our future success is dependant in part on attracting and retaining qualified management and technical personnel. Our inability to hire qualified personnel on a timely basis, or the departure of key employees, could materially and adversely affect our development and commercialization plans and therefore, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to continue to complete prototype development and engineering of commercially viable hydrogen batteries, we will not be able to build our business as anticipated.
          We have developed a number of prototype systems and are continuing our efforts to improve their overall performance, reduce their cost and to ensure they are safe to operate. In addition, while we are conducting tests to predict the overall life of our systems, we have not yet demonstrated all of the cost and performance requirements required for commercialization of products that utilize our technology. Accordingly, if we are unable to complete prototype development and engineering of commercially viable hydrogen battery, we will not be able to develop our business as anticipated.
Failure to meet milestones and performance goals with potential customers could delay or impede commercialization of our technology. Potential purchasers of our systems may decline to purchase our technology or choose to purchase alternate technologies.
          We have established product development and commercialization milestones and a timeline for achieving development goals related to product specifications and system cost parameters. Delays and/or missed milestones may have a material impact on our

Table of Contents

commercialization schedule and may result in breaches of certain development agreements in connection with our established relationships. If any such breach or other non-performance causes a customer to terminate our relationship, potential customers may choose alternative technologies or result in delays that could allow potential competitors to gain market advantages.
Our hydrogen fuel cartridge technology may only be commercially viable as a component of other companies’ products, and these companies may choose not to include our systems in their products.
          To be commercially viable, our hydrogen fuel cartridge technology must be integrated in most cases into products manufactured by OEMs. Such OEMs may not be able to manufacture appropriate products or, if they do manufacture such products, may choose not to use our technology. Any integration, design, manufacturing or marketing problems encountered by OEMs could adversely affect the market for our hydrogen generation systems and our financial results.
Any perceived problem while conducting demonstrations of our technology could hurt our reputation and the reputation of our products, which could impede the development of our business.
          We have demonstrated our hydrogen fuel cartridge technology in the past and we plan to conduct additional demonstrations in public and in private in the future. We also expect our customers to conduct field testing and pilot programs to evaluate products which utilize our technology. Although to date we have not experienced significant problems in demonstration or testing, future demonstrations and testing could encounter problems for a number of reasons, including the failure of our technology, the failure of the technology of others, the failure to combine these technologies properly and the failure to maintain and service the test systems properly. Many of these potential problems and delays are beyond our control. In addition, field test programs, by their nature, involve delays and modifications. Any problem or perceived problem with our field tests could hurt our reputation and the reputation of our products, which could impede the development of our business.
          Our failure to obtain, maintain or protect the right to use certain intellectual property may negatively affect our business.
          Our future success and competitive position depends in part upon our ability to obtain or maintain certain proprietary intellectual property to be used in our principal products. This may be achieved in part by prosecuting claims against others who we believe are infringing on our rights and by defending claims of intellectual property infringement by our competitors. While we are not currently engaged in any material intellectual property litigation, we could become subject to lawsuits in which it is alleged that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others or we could commence lawsuits against others who we believe are infringing upon our rights. Our involvement in intellectual property litigation could result in significant expense to us, adversely affecting the development of sales of the challenged product or intellectual property and diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not such litigation is resolved in our favor. In the event of an adverse outcome as a defendant in any such litigation, we may, among other things, be required to:
  —    pay substantial damages,
 
  —    cease the development, manufacture, use, sale or importation of products that infringe upon other patented intellectual property,
 
  —    expend significant resources to develop or acquire non-infringing intellectual property,
 
  —    discontinue processes incorporating infringing technology, or
 
  —    obtain licenses to the infringing intellectual property. An adverse outcome as plaintiff, in addition to the costs involved, may, among other things, result in the loss of the patent in a suit by a holding of invalidity or unenforceability, significantly increase competition as a result of the holding, and require the payment of penalties resulting from counterclaims by the defendant.
          Accordingly, we cannot assure you that:
  —    any of the patents owned by us or other patents that other parties license to us in the future will not be invalidated, circumvented, challenged, rendered unenforceable or licensed to others,
 
  —    any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued with the breadth of claim coverage sought by us, if issued at all, or

10


Table of Contents

  —    any patents owned by or licensed to us, although valid, will not be dominated by a patent or patents to others having broader claims.
 
      In addition, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable, limited or not applied for in certain foreign countries.
 
      We also seek to protect our proprietary intellectual property, including intellectual property that may not be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach or that such persons will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of these relationships.
Any accidents involving our products or the raw materials used in our products could impair their market acceptance.
          Certain sodium borohydride fuel solutions used by our technology have a high pH, and may be corrosive and harmful to human skin. In powder form, it can be fatal if swallowed and may cause skin burns in contact with moist skin. The long-term health effects of the fuel have not been evaluated. If spilled in the ground or water it could adversely impact plant, marine or animal life. Furthermore, if pure sodium borohydride comes into contact with water, it could generate flammable hydrogen gas. In solid form, pure sodium borohydride is also combustible and could produce hazardous and/or flammable decomposition products in a fire.
     Risks Relating To Our Securities
If we fail to comply with certain obligations in respect of our convertible securities, we may be subject to mandatory redemption obligations at the option of certain creditors and preferred stockholders which, if exercised, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our business.
          In the event that we fail to comply with certain obligations regarding the conversion of convertible securities and preferred shares or the authorization and registration of shares of common stock issuable upon such conversion, then in addition to financial penalties that may be payable by us, the holders of our Unsecured Debentures and Series C Preferred Stock may at their option require us to redeem the affected shares at a premium price. In addition, if any such redemption event occurs with respect to holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, then the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, pursuant to the terms thereof, shall have a right to require us to redeem their shares up to an amount equal to the percentage of Series C Preferred Stock so redeemed. If we are required to redeem a significant number of shares of our preferred stock in a short period of time, such event may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our business.
Our outstanding debentures are subject to mandatory prepayments at the option of the holders thereof upon certain conditions which, if exercised, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our business.
          Our outstanding debentures are subject to mandatory prepayments at the option on the holders thereof upon certain conditions, including the occurrence of an event of default. Such prepayment obligations are exercisable by the holders of the debentures at prepayment amounts up 120% of the principal amount of such outstanding debentures, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon and other applicable costs and expenses.
          The election by the holders of our outstanding debentures to exercise any such prepayment obligations may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our business. We believe that generally, an event of default with respect to our outstanding debentures will only occur at a time, if at all, that we are experiencing other financial difficulties and, accordingly, any election of a mandatory prepayment obligation may have a compounding material adverse effect on our ability to handle such difficulties.
We may be required to issue more shares of common stock upon adjustment of the conversion price of our outstanding preferred stock and unsecured convertible debentures or the exercise price of our outstanding warrants, resulting in dilution of our existing stockholders.
          The conversion or exercise of some or all of our outstanding preferred stock, convertible debentures, options and warrants will dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. If we sell common stock or common stock equivalents (excluding certain specified types of issuances) at a price per share that is below the then-applicable conversion price of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or unsecured convertible

11


Table of Contents

debentures, and/or below the then-applicable exercise price of certain of our outstanding warrants, then the conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, of such securities may adjust downward and, as a result, the amount of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of such securities would increase. As a result of the foregoing, we may be required to issue more shares of common stock than previously anticipated which would result in the dilution of our existing stockholders.
Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could reduce the market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us and our stockholders to sell our equity securities in the future.
          A substantial number of shares of our common stock have been registered for resale in connection with the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debentures and warrants to private and accredited institutional investors. Resale of a significant number of these registered shares into the public market could depress the trading price of our common stock and make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell equity securities in the future. In addition, to the extent other restricted shares become freely available for sale, whether through an effective registration statement or under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or if we issue additional shares that might be or become freely available for sale, our stock price could decrease.
We do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock.
          We have not declared and paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not intend to declare and pay any dividends on our common stock. Earnings, if any, will be re-invested in our business. We have dividend payment obligations on our Series B Preferred Stock and our Series C Preferred Stock, each of which have priority in the payment of the dividends over our common stock.
     Risks Relating To Our Industry
A mass market for our products may never develop or may take longer to develop than we anticipate.
          A mass market may never develop for hydrogen batteries, or may develop more slowly than we anticipate. Fuel cells and products that utilize hydrogen to generate energy represent an emerging category of power sources, and we cannot know certainty to what extent, if any end-users will want to purchase and use them. The development of a mass market for these systems may be affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:
  —    the acceptance in mass markets of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source,
 
  —    the cost competitiveness of our hydrogen generation systems,
 
  —    acceptance of fuel cells as a reliable cost competitive energy source,
 
  —    the emergence of newer, more competitive technologies and products,
 
  —    the future cost of sodium borohydride,
 
  —    regulatory requirements,
 
  —    consumer perceptions of the safety of our products, and
 
  —    consumer reluctance to try a new product.
          If a mass market fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, we may be unable to recover the losses we will have incurred in the development of our products and we may never achieve profitability.
We will continue to face intense competition from energy technology companies and may be unable to compete successfully.
          Our products face and will continue to face significant competition. New developments in technology may negatively affect the development or sale of some or all of our products or make our products uncompetitive or obsolete. A large number of corporations, national laboratories and universities in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia are pursuing alternative hydrogen storage and delivery technologies. These entities, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do, are currently engaged in the development of products and technologies that are similar to, or may be competitive with, certain of our products and technologies.

12


Table of Contents

          As others learn of the potential of fuel cells to replace existing power sources and the benefits provided when hydrogen is used to power those fuel cells, we expect there to be increased competition in the hydrogen delivery and storage product market. This competition will come from current storage technologies, from improvements to current storage technologies and from new storage technologies. We intend to compete in each of our target markets based on that market’s desired product characteristics, such as safety, cost, size, environmental impact, ease of use and a variety of other attributes. Depending on the specific desired attributes of each market and application, our technology may or may not be able to compete successfully. Failure to compete in each of our target markets will have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

In 2005 and 2006, we entered into a one-year sublease agreements to rent to a third party approximately 5,000 square feet of office space in our facility. Additionally, Gecko Energy Technologies, our wholly owned subsidiary since December 29, 2006, currently occupies approximately 2,000 square feet of combined office and lab space. We believe that the current facilities will be sufficient for our operations in the foreseeable future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
          The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
General
          We were formed as a Delaware limited liability company on December 17, 1998, and organized and began operations on January 1, 1999 (inception date). We were converted into a Delaware corporation on April 25, 2000 when all of the outstanding equity interests of the limited liability company were converted into shares of common stock of the corporation. On December 29, 2006, we acquired Gecko Energy Technologies, LLC (“Gecko”), a fuel cell company.
Overview
          We are engaged in the development of hydrogen batteries for use primarily in portable electronic devices for the military, medical, industrial and consumer markets. We are developing this technology in partnership with corporate and government entities. Hydrogen on Demand® is the trademarked name for our proprietary hydrogen energy storage and delivery technology. PowerSkin™ is the trademarked name for Gecko’s fuel cell technology. As a result of our acquisition of Gecko, our combined technology is based on the culmination of work reflected in more than 125 patents (granted or pending) that collectively provide us with significant patent protection in planar fuel cells and the system and fuel blend technology used to convert sodium borohydride to hydrogen energy for use in portable electronic device applications.
          Our losses have resulted primarily from costs associated with product development and research and development activities as well as non-cash amortization of preferred stock and non-cash charges related to the issuance of stock awards to employees and third parties. As a result of planned expenditures in the areas of research, product development and marketing and additional non-cash charges relating to stock awards, we expect to incur additional operating losses for the foreseeable future. See also, “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.
Results of Operations
     Year Ended December 31, 2006 versus 2005
          Revenues. We recorded $221,910 of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with revenues of $416,902 in 2005, a decrease of $194,992. Revenues in both periods were earned from engineering and design. While in the development stage, our revenues are expected to fluctuate from year to year with the timing of prototype development and design services.
          In the near-term, revenues are expected to be derived substantially from catalyst sales, up-front license fees, research contracts with various federal, state and local agencies, collaborations with other companies, management services, and royalty payments or joint venture revenue from licensees or strategic partnerships. Revenues will be recognized in the period in which technology is delivered, licensing revenues are earned, or as services are performed.
          Cost of Revenues. We recorded cost of revenues of $217,802 during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared with $382,318 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $164,516. Cost of revenues during the development stage include the Product Development and Marketing expenses and Research and Development expenses associated with the revenues earned, as well as the costs associated with services or product deliveries.
          Product Development and Marketing Expense. Product development and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $2,981,931 compared to $3,580,729 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $598,798. The expenses decreased due to increased cost reimbursements under an increased number of government funded programs as compared to the prior year.
          General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses were $3,894,577 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $5,396,694 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $1,502,117. The decrease was mainly the result of the non-recurrence of professional fees associated with strategic and financial transactions in the prior year.
          Non-Cash Charges. Non-cash charges were $3,536,083 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $3,519,991 for

17


Table of Contents

the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $16,092. We issued 138,150 and 155,724 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Dow as part of the joint development agreement in 2006 and 2005, respectively. This resulted in a non-cash charge of $2,113,695 in 2006 and $2,413,722 in 2005 which was recorded as a product development expense. We also recorded $1,229,678 in 2006 and $1,079,269 in 2005 in non-cash charges for the issuance of stock awards to employees and non-employees, as well as board of directors.
          The following is a breakdown by function of non-cash charges as of December 31:
                 
    2006     2005  
Product development expense
  $ 2,176,812     $ 2,556,423  
General and administrative expense
    1,336,731       920,499  
Research and development expense
    22,540       43,069  
 
           
Total
  $ 3,536,083     $ 3,519,991  
 
           
          Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $497,994 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $291,649 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $206,345. This increase was mainly attributable to our decision to not maintain some of the patents in our portfolio valued at approximately $60,000 and amortization expense of $120,000 for the acquisition of Gecko’s intellectual property.
          Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses were $902,273 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $609,534 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $292,739. The increase is primarily due to one-time In-Process Research and Development charges of $400,000 related to the purchase of Gecko in December 2006. This was slightly offset by increased cost reimbursements under programs with the Department of Energy.
          Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $677,661 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to net interest expense of $1,623,118 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $945,457. The decrease in net interest expense was caused mainly by reduced charges related to fewer conversions of convertible instruments into common stock during 2006 than in 2005. Interest expense is comprised of interest on the Series C Preferred Stock dividends, debenture principal, charges for beneficial conversion features, amortization of original issue discounts and issue costs on convertible debentures and preferred stock.
          The components of interest expense were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (in millions):
                 
    2006     2005  
Beneficial conversion feature (BCF)
  $ 0.1     $ 0.2  
Amortization of debt discount
    0.2       0.9  
Amortization of debt issue costs
    0.1       0.4  
Other interest, net
    0.3       0.1  
 
           
Total Interest Expense
  $ 0.7     $ 1.6  
 
           
          We expect a higher amount of conversions in 2007, which will result in higher interest expense.
          Benefit from Income Taxes. Benefit from income taxes was $550,647 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $386,692 in 2005. This benefit was derived from our participation in the New Jersey Emerging Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Program. This program allows certain companies to transfer New Jersey net operating losses to other companies. The amount allowed for sale each year varies and cannot be accurately predicted. This program, if continued by the state in future years, may provide us with similar cash inflows each year if we continue to incur net operating losses.
Results of Operations
     Year Ended December 31, 2005 versus 2004
          Revenues. We recorded $416,902 of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared with revenues of $198,474 in 2004, an increase of $218,428. The increase was mainly attributable to revenues earned from engineering and design services rendered under our contract with Concurrent Technologies Corporation (“CTC”) that began in the fourth quarter of 2004, and design services rendered under a new contract signed with Electronic Machining s.r.l. in the third quarter of 2005, which provided us

an additional $80,000 in revenue.
          Cost of Revenues. We recorded cost of revenues of $382,318 during the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared with $198,474 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $183,844. The increase was mainly attributable to the addition of the CTC program in the fourth quarter of 2004. Gross margin realized in 2005 was a result of design services revenue rendered for Electronic Machining, a new customer in 2005. Cost of revenues during the development stage represent the Product Development and Marketing expense and Research and Development expense associated with the revenues earned.
          Product Development and Marketing Expense. Product development and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $3,580,729 compared to $3,396,469 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $184,260. This increase is mostly attributable to an increase in the marketing staff in the first quarter of 2005, as well as costs incurred to update our corporate image and to create a new company website.
          General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses were $5,396,694 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $4,262,066 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $1,134,628. The increase was mainly the result of the professional fees associated with the consummation of the joint development arrangement with The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”), the Series C Preferred Stock private placement consummated with certain institutional investors, and the exchange offers with respect to our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. We also incurred higher legal costs associated with intellectual property development.
          Non-Cash Charges. Non-cash charges were $3,519,991 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $796,286 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $2,723,705. The non-cash charge increase is a result of the issuance of 155,724 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Dow as part of the joint development arrangement. This resulted in a non-cash charge of $2,413,722 which was recorded as a product development expense.
          The following is a breakdown by function of non-cash charges as of December 31:
                 
    2005     2004  
Product development expense
  $ 2,556,423     $ 100,738  
General and administrative expense
    920,499       673,100  
Research and development expense
    43,069       22,448  
 
           
Total
  $ 3,519,991     $ 796,286  
 
           
          Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $291,649 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $516,172 for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $224,523. This decrease was mainly attributable to more assets becoming fully depreciated in fiscal 2005 than were added during the year.
          Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses were $609,534 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $474,609 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $134,925. The increase is primarily due to increased number of employees in our research and development department and professional fees as compared to the prior year. We are reimbursed for expenses under the Department of Energy (“DOE”) program for the joint research of electrochemical pathways to manufacture sodium borohydride, which are recorded as a reduction to research and development expense. Reimbursements under the DOE program totaled $825,183 and $860,750 for 2005 and 2004, respectively.
          Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $1,623,118 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to interest expense of $1,770,102 for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $146,984. The decrease in net interest expense was caused mainly by reduced charges for beneficial conversion features and fewer conversions of convertible instruments into common stock during 2005 than in 2004. Interest expense is comprised of interest on the Series C Preferred Stock dividend, debenture principal, charges for beneficial conversion features, amortization of original issue discounts and issue costs on convertible debentures and preferred stock.

This benefit was derived from our participation in the New Jersey Emerging Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Program. This program allows certain companies to transfer New Jersey net operating losses to other companies. The amount allowed for sale each year varies and cannot be accurately predicted. This program, if continued by the state in future years, may provide us with similar cash inflows each year if we continue to incur net operating losses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     General
          Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through our initial public offering in August 2000 and private placements of equity and debt securities. The net proceeds from our initial public offering totaled approximately $29.9 million and we generated net proceeds from private placement transactions in 2002 and 2003 totaling $14.1 million. In 2004, we received net proceeds of approximately $9.4 million from a separate private placement transaction. In April 2005, we received net proceeds of approximately $9.6 million for the issuance of redeemable Series C Preferred Stock. In May 2006, we received proceeds of $1.25 million in a private placement of Series B Preferred Stock. In February 2007, we received net proceeds of $6.0 million in a private placement of unsecured debentures.
          We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and cash from our cost-sharing agreements will be sufficient to fund our operations through the first half of 2008. We may raise additional funds through public or private financing, collaborative relationships or other arrangements. We cannot be assured that additional funding, if sought, will be available or will be on terms favorable to us. Further, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Our failure to raise capital when needed may harm our business and operating results.
     Convertible Debentures
          On November 8, 2005, we issued a $2.4 million secured convertible debenture with a maturity date of September 30, 2007. In accordance with EITF 00-27 (“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”) and EITF 98-5 (“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”), we record a Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) if the unsecured debentures are converted into common stock at a discount. In 2006, we converted $1.95 million of the unsecured debentures in exchange for 1,352,462 shares of our common stock and recorded a BCF charge of $136,500 associated with the conversions. In January and February of 2007, we converted $300,000 of the unsecured debentures in exchange for 305,148 shares of our common stock and recorded a BCF charge of $21,000 associated with the conversion.
     Series C Preferred Stock
          On April 25, 2005, we consummated a private placement financing transaction with seven institutional and accredited investors pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement with such investors. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the investors paid $10 million in cash for 10,000 shares of our redeemable Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C”). Each Series C share is convertible into 500 shares of our common stock, at any time, at an initial conversion price equal to $2 per share subject to adjustment based upon customary anti-dilution provisions, or lower based upon the market price of our common stock during the ten trading days preceding conversion. The shares of Series C bear a 7% cumulative dividend payable quarterly in shares of common stock or cash, at our option, and are junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in liquidation preference. The Series C is subject to mandatory redemption by us three years after issuance and can be settled in cash or with our common stock. As a result, the Series C is recorded as a liability in accordance with FAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. Additionally, we issued to the investors three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.25 million

20


Table of Contents

shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $2 per share, subject to adjustment based on customary antidilution protections. The warrants were valued at $1,021,928 at the date of issuance and were recorded as a discount to debt and as additional paid-in-capital and is being amortized as interest expense throughout the term of the Series C or as they are converted, whichever comes first. During 2006 and 2005, we recorded $208,339 and $593,844, respectively for the amortization of the discount. We amortize the financing fees incurred for the Series C transactions throughout the term of the Series C or as they are converted, whichever comes first.
          Under the Series C purchase agreement with the investors, we are required to restrict funds for future dividends to be paid with respect to the Series C. As a result, these funds, which amounted to approximately $1,800,000 at issuance, were classified as restricted cash on the balance sheet. According to the Series C purchase agreement, as dividends are issued or paid, and conversions are executed, the restricted cash is released ratably to our non-restricted cash accounts. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $5.1 million of the Series C have been converted into 2,677,795 shares of our common stock and we have transferred $1,396,880 from the restricted cash account for the conversions that were executed.
          As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, we issued 303,710 and 54,117 shares valued at $397,686 and $109,128, respectively in satisfaction of the quarterly dividend payments with respect to Series C. Total dividends of $360,134 and $374,819, which include dividends paid in cash and common stock, were recorded as interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, since the Series C was recorded as a liability.
          On February 15, 2007, we entered into agreements with each holder of Series C pursuant to which we agreed, between the date of such agreement and June 15, 2007, deliver Company Interim Conversion Election Notices (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series C) to convert 50% of such holder’s shares of Series C into shares of our common stock over a four month period, at our option. As provided in the Certificate of Designations of the Series C, the closing sale price for our common stock on the date immediately preceding the date of each Company Interim Conversion Election Notice must be at least 114% in excess of the conversion price (if the applicable closing sale price is $1.25 or less), or 108% in excess of the conversion price (if the applicable closing sale price is greater than $1.25), in order for us to cause such conversion. As a result, these conversions would result in BCF charges in accordance with EITF 00-27 (“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”) and EITF 98-5 (“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”) since the conversion price would be lower than the market price of our common stock on the date of the conversion.
Series A and Series B Preferred Stock
          On April 25, 2005, we consummated the first closing under a joint development arrangement with The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”). In connection with the closing, we issued 155,724 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”) to Dow, each share of which was initially convertible into ten shares of our common stock. As a result of the Series A issuance in exchange for services rendered by Dow in conjunction with the joint development arrangement, we recorded a non-cash charge of $2,413,722 as product development expense based on the market value of the underlying common stock as of April 25, 2005. The Series A has substantially the same rights of our common stock, therefore the Series A was valued based on the closing price of our common stock on April 25, 2005.
          The purpose of the joint development arrangement is for the two companies to jointly develop portable power solutions based on our Hydrogen on Demand® energy systems coupled with a fuel cell. The joint development arrangement has a three-year term and each party may terminate the joint development arrangement under certain conditions. The joint development arrangement contemplates a series of four milestones designed to culminate in a commercially available product in military or consumer electronics applications. The milestones are focused on military and/or consumer electronics applications.
          Upon the successful completion of each of the four milestones, Dow has a right, but not an obligation, to purchase a number of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B”) which is convertible into a number of shares of our common stock that could be purchased for $1,250,000 (based upon a purchase price equal to the volume weighted average price for the 30-trading day period prior to the date of issuance). If Dow purchases shares of our Series B, Dow will also receive warrants to purchase a number of shares of our common stock that equals 25% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B. If Dow elects to purchase shares of our Series B, we will also issue to Dow additional shares of Series A at market value such that Dow will own a certain percentage of our capital stock as of the date of issuance as provided in the Dow Stock Purchase Agreement. If Dow elects not to purchase shares of our Series B upon completion of any milestone, we will issue to Dow a lesser number of additional shares of Series A at market value.
          On May 3, 2006, the first milestone under the joint development agreement was met. Dow elected to purchase 71,429 shares of Series B for $1,250,000, and received detachable warrants to purchase 178,571 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $2.10 per share which was recorded as a discount to Series B for $159,227 based on the fair value of the warrants at the date of the

issuance. Series B was initially convertible into ten shares of our common stock. The shares of Series B bear a 6% cumulative dividend payable in shares of common stock or cash, at our option and are junior to Series A. In accordance with the joint development arrangement and achievement of the first milestone, we also issued 138,150 shares of Series A that were earned by Dow through human resource and intellectual property contributions toward achievement of the first milestone. As a result of the issuance of Series A, we recorded a non-cash charge of $2,113,695 as product development expense based on the market value of the underlying common stock as of May 26, 2006.
          Effective December 16, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Dow whereby Dow waived anti-dilution adjustments for a period of one year in exchange for a reduction in their exercise price of warrants from $2.10 to $1.25.
     Gecko
          On February 15, 2006, we entered into a three-year joint development program with Gecko Energy Technologies, Inc. (“Gecko”) to collaborate on the development and commercialization of portable fuel cell systems for use in military, medical, industrial and consumer electronics applications. These products will pair the company’s patented Hydrogen on Demand® technology with Gecko’s thin planar Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells to create a hydrogen battery that is lighter, smaller and less expensive than traditional batteries for a variety of applications. Gecko’s efforts are focused on the development of an easy-to-manufacture fuel cell that provides portable device makers with design flexibility by allowing the thin power source to be part of the exterior surface of the device itself.
          In addition to the joint development program through July 2006, we acquired approximately 34.8% of the outstanding common stock of Gecko in exchange for $1.0 million in cash and a one-year commitment to provide services and facilities valued at $0.5 million based on direct expenses to be incurred by us throughout 2006.
          On December 29, 2006, the Company through M.C.E. Venture, L.L.C. (“MCE”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Millennium Cell, entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 65.2% of common stock of Gecko (“the Acquisition”). Under the terms of the agreement, each selling stockholder received 1,000,000 shares (2,000,000 shares total) of our common stock.
          Upon the Acquisition, MCE’s name was changed to Gecko Energy Technologies, LLC (“Gecko LLC”). The former president and chief operating officer of Gecko were named the president and the chief operating officer of Gecko LLC, pursuant to employment agreements they each entered into with Gecko LLC on December 29, 2006, in connection with the Acquisition (the “Employment Agreements”). The Employment Agreements have the same material terms as the Employment Agreements had with Gecko prior to the Acquisition, and provide for a base salary of $144,000 per year for each officer. In addition, the vesting of certain restricted stock awards that we had granted to the former president and chief operating officer (75,000 shares each) under consulting agreements that existed prior to the Acquisition were accelerated as a result of the Acquisition.
          Following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the effective date of the acquisition:
         
Cash
  $ 79,461  
Plant and equipment
    58,999

Net assets acquired

     Convertible Debentures
          On February 16, 2007, we privately sold to six institutional and accredited investors $6,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our unsecured convertible debentures due 2009 (“the 2007 Debentures”), and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,824,105 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.14 per share. Interest will accrue on the 2007 Debentures at the prime rate (currently 8.25%) and is payable on a quarterly basis in shares of common stock or, if the company satisfies certain conditions, it may elect to pay interest in cash. The 2007 Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.42 and, under certain circumstances, at a conversion price equal to 91% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the applicable notice of conversion. The discounted portion of these conversions would result in BCF charges in accordance with EITF 00-27 (“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”) and EITF 98-5 (“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”).

          In connection with this private sale, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors under which we agreed to file a registration statement to register under the Securities Act the resale of the shares underlying the 2007 Debentures (including any shares issued as payment of interest) and the warrants. If we do not file the registration statement with the SEC within 45 days of the closing or if the registration statement is not effective by the 120th day after the closing, we agreed to pay the investors liquidated damages (for each 30 days period in which we fail to file the registration statement or such registration statement is not effective, as applicable) in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price for the 2007 Debentures. The terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the 2007 Debentures, the warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement are summarized in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on February 16, 2007.
          This private placement was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided for in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each purchaser represented to us in the Securities Purchase Agreement that it is an accredited investor, as defined by Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act, and certificates representing the 2007 Debentures and the warrants contain appropriate legends to reflect the restrictions on transfer imposed by the Securities Act.
     Sources and Uses of Cash
          As of December 31, 2006, we had $4,358,040 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1,020,812. Cash used in operations totaled $7,265,437, $8,356,591 and $7,271,862 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and related to funding our net operating losses.
          Excluding changes in restricted cash, investing activities used cash of $1,363,479, $194,286 and $143,642 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Investing activities in 2006 consisted mainly of our acquisition of Gecko, while in 2005 and 2004, consisted of mainly patent registration costs. Restricted cash is comprised of $0.4 million as security on Series C Preferred dividends and $0.6 million of cash used for collateral as security deposit held by our landlord in connection with the amended lease agreement. These funds will not be available for use in operations until the letters of credit have been reduced or terminated. The $0.4 million of restricted cash related to the Series C Preferred will be available to us ratably as dividends are paid to the holders or as they are converted, whichever comes first.
     Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
          We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2006.
     Commitments and Contingencies
          In April 2001, we amended our main operating lease for our facility to provide for additional space for our principal operating offices and laboratories. The amended lease will expire in 2008 and contains options to renew for an additional eight years, and will require us to pay our allocated share of taxes and operating costs in addition to the annual base rent payment. Future minimum annual lease commitments, excluding estimated allocated taxes and maintenance under the amended operating leases, are noted below.
          In connection with the amended lease agreement, we issued a letter of credit to the landlord for $588,972 in lieu of a cash security deposit. We collateralized the letter of credit with a portion of our cash and classified the letter of credit as Restricted Cash. The funds used for collateral will not be available for use in operations.
          Between January 1999 and April 2000, we received an aggregate of $227,522 from a recoverable grant award from the State of New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology. The funds were used to partially fund costs directly related to development of our technology. The recoverable grant is required to be repaid when we generate net sales in a fiscal year. The repayment obligation, which began in June 2001, escalates from 1% to 5% of net sales over a ten-year period. We are obligated to repay the unpaid amount of the original grant at the end of the ten-year period. As of December 31, 2006, we have repaid approximately $70,611 and an additional $13,197 was paid in the first quarter of 2007.

          We received net proceeds from the sale of New Jersey net operating losses (NOLs) in conjunction with the New Jersey Emerging Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Program of $550,647, $386,692 and $410,726 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This program allows certain companies to apply to transfer New Jersey NOLs to other companies. This program, if continued by the state in future years, may provide us with similar cash inflows if we continue to incur NOLs.
Critical Accounting Policies
     Application of Critical Accounting Policies
          The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and other financial information. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. In addition, our reported financial condition and results of operations could vary due to a change in the application of a particular accounting standard.
          We regard an accounting estimate underlying our financial statements as a “critical accounting estimate” if the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of estimation and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used in the current period, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, would have had a material effect on the presentation of financial condition, changes in financial condition, or results of operations.
          Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. Not all of these significant accounting policies, however, require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments or estimates. Our management has discussed our accounting policies with the audit committee of our board of directors, and we believe that our estimates relating to revenue recognition, convertible debt and stock options described below fit the definition of “critical accounting estimates.”
     Revenue Recognition
          Our near-term revenues will be derived substantially from contracts that require the Company to deliver hydrogen generation or fuel cell technology, management services, system design and prototype systems and licensing of technology for test and evaluation. Revenues are recognized in the period in which the technology is delivered or licensed revenue is earned.
     Convertible Debt
          We account for the issuance and conversion of convertible debt in accordance with APB No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.” As a result, we have and will record original issue discounts to the extent the fair value of the debt is below the face value of the instrument and amortize the discount over the life of the instrument. To the extent

24


Table of Contents

conversions of debt into common stock are made prior to the maturity date of the instrument, we will record as interest expense a ratable proportion of the discount associated with the face value of the debt converted.
          We account for issuances of convertible debt in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF No. 00-27”), and EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF No. 98-5”). As a result of certain conversion price discounts included within our outstanding debt instruments, we will record interest expense resulting from BCFs as described under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.
     Stock Based Compensation
          We sponsor a stock-based compensation plan pursuant to which non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards are granted to eligible employees. Through the year ended December 31, 2005, we followed the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (“SFAS 123”), and, accordingly, accounted for awards under these plans pursuant to the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB 25”) and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123. Under APB 25, compensation expense was recognized in the financial statements relating to awards of stock. However, no compensation expense was recorded in the financial statements for stock option grants, as all options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
          Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS 123R revises SFAS 123, supersedes APB 25 and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Under that transition method, compensation expense is now recognized in the financial statements on a go forward basis for (a) all share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based upon the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) share-based payments granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based upon the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The grant-date fair value of awards expected to vest is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related awards. Under the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated.
          The grant-date fair value of stock awards is based upon the underlying price of the stock on the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of stock option awards must be determined using an option pricing model. Option pricing models require the use of estimates and assumptions as to (a) the expected term of the option, (b) the expected volatility of the price of the underlying stock, (c) the risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option and (d) pre-vesting forfeiture rates. For stock options granted, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula for determining the grant-date fair value of such awards.
          The expected term of the option is based upon the contractual term and expected employee exercise and expected post-vesting employment termination behavior. The expected volatility of the price of the underlying stock is based upon the historical volatility of our stock computed over a period of time equal to the expected term of the option. The risk free interest rate is based upon the implied yields currently available from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for issues with a remaining duration equal to the expected term of the option. Pre-vesting forfeiture rates are estimated based upon past voluntary termination behavior and past option forfeitures.
          The following table sets forth the weighted-average assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31:
                         
    2006   2005   2004
Expected stock price volatility
    .80       .89       .57  
Risk free interest rate(s)
    4.89 %     4.45 %     3.48 %
Expected life of options (years)
    10.0       5.0       5.0  
          Changes in any of these assumptions could impact, potentially materially, the amount of expense recorded in future periods related to stock-based awards.

25


Table of Contents

          As of December 31, 2006, there was $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
          In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation increases the relevancy and comparability of financial reporting by clarifying the way companies account for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring such tax positions for financial statement purposes. The interpretation also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied under other accounting principles that require or permit fair value measurements, as this is a relevant measurement attribute. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk.
          Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, operating results or cash flows due to changes in U.S. interest rates. This exposure is directly related to our normal operating activities. Our cash and cash equivalents are invested with high quality issuers and are generally of a short-term nature. As a result, we do not believe that near-term changes in interest rates will have a material effect on our future results of operations.
          Our system’s ability to produce energy depends on the availability of sodium borohydride, which has a limited commercial use and is not manufactured in vast quantities. There are currently only two major manufacturers of sodium borohydride and there can be no assurance that the high cost of this specialty chemical will be reduced. Once we commence full operations in the future, we may need to enter into long-term supply contracts to protect against price increases of sodium borohydride. As a result, we may be subject to commodity price risk in the future and there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into agreements to protect against such risk.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
See Index to Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedule in Item 15.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
           None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
          We maintain a system of internal and disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
          Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer they have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to us required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

          Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of any changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter. That evaluation did not identify any significant changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Millennium Cell Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Millennium Cell Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years then ended, and for the period of January 1, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments”, applying the modified prospective method at the beginning of fiscal 2006.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Millennium Cell Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years then ended, and for the period January 1, 1999 (inception) through December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
          Millennium Cell Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated on December 17, 1998 and organized on January 1, 1999 (inception). The Company is a development stage company, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.” The Company is focused on commercialization of hydrogen batteries for use primarily in portable electronic devices for the military, medical, industrial and consumer markets. These hydrogen batteries offer runtime, weight, safety and cost advantages in an attractive form factor versus traditional batteries. Millennium Cell is developing this technology in partnership with corporate and government entities.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
     Principles of Consolidation
          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and.M.C.E. Venture, L.L.C (“MCE”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Millennium Cell. On December 29, 2006, MCE acquired Gecko Energy Technologies, Inc. (“Gecko”). MCE’s name was formally changed to Gecko Energy Technologies, LLC (“Gecko LLC”). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
     Cash and Cash Equivalents
          The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
     Accounts Receivable
          Accounts receivable — trade represents amounts due from customers. Accounts receivable - government represents amounts due under the Company’s cost-sharing programs.
     Concentration of Credit Risk
          Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash investments, trade receivables and government receivables. The Company places its cash investments with highly rated financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company’s limited customer base increases its concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade and government receivables. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers.
     Long-Lived Assets
          The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted estimated cash flows to be generated by the related assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets.
     Property and Equipment
          Property and equipment are stated at cost. Machinery and equipment and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets or initial lease terms, whichever is shorter. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

     Intangible Assets
          The Company’s intangible assets consist of the intellectual property acquired by the Company on December 29, 2006 and patents and licenses. The intellectual property is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 years. The costs associated with obtaining patents and licenses are capitalized as incurred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 to 17 years unless the asset is determined to be impaired. Amortization of such costs begins once the patent has been issued. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its intellectual property and patents when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted estimated cash flows to be generated by the related assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets.
     Restricted Cash
          Cash that is pledged as collateral under the Company’s amended facilities lease agreement and restricted funds for future dividends on the Redeemable Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C”) is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet.
     Revenue Recognition
          Revenues over the past three fiscal years were derived primarily from engineering and design services. While in the development stage, the Company’s revenue is expected to fluctuate from year to year with the timing of prototype development and design services.
          The Company’s near term revenues will be derived substantially from contracts that require the Company to deliver engineering, design and management services, fuel cell and hydrogen battery technology, prototype systems and licensing of technology. Revenues are recognized in the period in which the services are performed, technology and/or prototype is delivered or licensed revenue is earned.
     Cost-Sharing Programs
          The Company participates in a number of government programs which provide the Company with funding to offset the costs of product development and research. As the Company’s full costs are not billable under these programs, the billable costs are shown as reductions of operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the costs are incurred on a time and materials basis.
The following table is a breakdown of the reduction of operating expenses as a result of the cost-sharing programs, by function for the year ended December 31:
                         
    2006     2005     2004  
Product development expense

     Stock-Based Compensation
          The Company sponsors a stock-based compensation plan pursuant to which non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards are granted to eligible employees. These plans are described more fully in Note 11.
          Through the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company followed the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (“SFAS 123”), and, accordingly, accounted for awards under these plans pursuant to the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB 25”) and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123. Under APB 25, compensation expense was recognized in the financial statements relating to awards of stock. However, no compensation expense was recorded in the financial statements for stock option grants that were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
          Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS 123R revises SFAS 123, supersedes APB 25 and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements on a prospective basis for (a) all share-based payments granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based upon the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) share-based payments granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based upon the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The grant-date fair value of awards expected to vest is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related awards. Under the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods are not restated.
     Income Taxes
          The Company is subject to state and federal income taxes and accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Accordingly, net deferred tax assets and an offsetting valuation allowance of $36,420,000 and $33,609,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, have been recorded due to the uncertainty regarding the realization of such deferred tax assets. The significant items giving rise to the deferred income taxes were primarily tax loss and credit carryforwards and depreciation.
     Use of Accounting 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.
     Earnings Per Share
          Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares actually outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS 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 then shared in the earnings of the Company. All such securities were anti-dilutive for all periods presented.
          In accordance with EITF No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share”, contingently convertible debt instruments are subject to the if-converted method under SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” regardless of the contingent features included in the instrument. The Company’s convertible debentures and Series C Preferred Stock are contingently convertible debt instruments that are potentially convertible into approximately 5,446,000, 4,600,000 and 3,700,000 shares of common stock at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These contingently convertible shares have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as their effects would have been anti-dilutive. Please see Notes 9 and 10 for more information.

          Options to purchase 3,911,655, 3,994,769 and 4,017,191 shares of common stock have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as their effects would have been anti-dilutive. Please see Note 11 for more information.
          Warrants to purchase 627,169, 2,066,015 and 1,405,391 shares of common stock have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as their effects would have been anti-dilutive. Please see Note 10 for more information.
     Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards
          In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation increases the relevancy and comparability of financial reporting by clarifying the way companies account for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring such tax positions for financial statement purposes. The interpretation also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied under other accounting principles that require or permit fair value measurements, as this is a relevant measurement attribute. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
     Reclassifications
          Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.
Note 3 — Supplemental Cash Flow Information
          The Company funded its vested matching contributions in connection with its 401(k) plan for employees with 154,314, 110,952 and 60,211 shares of common stock with a market value of $252,700, $164,031 and $103,772 in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

          In March 2006 and 2005, the Company issued 465,400 and 474,800 shares of restricted stock to employees with a fair market value of $763,256 and $1,044,560, respectively. These shares will cliff vest in five years, or earlier, upon meeting certain accelerated vesting criteria, as defined. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded $277,998 and $543,171 in non-cash charges for restricted stock issued to employees that includes the amortization of restricted stock issued in March 2006 and 2005, and the vesting of 189,920 shares of restricted stock during March 2005 based on the Company’s performance of certain acceleration of vesting features in the restricted stock plan. The Company will recognize additional non-cash charges of $986,646 through 2010, or earlier if other accelerated vesting features are met.
          Interest paid during 2006, 2005 and 2004 totaled $160,658, $128,493 and $88,749, respectively. Non-cash interest during 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $272,377, $297,394 and $142,517, respectively. The Company also issued preferred stock and debentures in 2006 and 2005 which resulted in non-cash transactions. Please see Notes 9 and 10 for more information.

Note 5 — Acquisition of Gecko
          On February 15, 2006, the Company entered into a three-year joint development program with Gecko Energy Technologies, Inc. (“Gecko”) to collaborate on the development and commercialization of portable fuel cell systems for use in military, medical, industrial and consumer electronics applications. These products will pair the company’s patented Hydrogen on Demand® technology with Gecko’s PowerSkin™ thin planar Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells to create a hydrogen battery that is lighter, smaller and less expensive than traditional batteries for a variety of applications. Gecko’s efforts are focused on the development of an easy-to-manufacture fuel cell that provides portable device makers with design flexibility by allowing the thin power source to be part of the exterior surface of the device itself.
          In addition to the joint development program through July 2006, the Company acquired approximately 34.8% of the outstanding common stock of Gecko in exchange for $1.0 million in cash and a one-year commitment to provide services and facilities valued at $0.5 million based on direct expenses to be incurred by the Company throughout 2006. The Company’s investment in Gecko throughout 2006 was accounted for using the equity method of accounting as the investment gave the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Gecko. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recorded $334,822 in equity losses of affiliates for their proportion of Gecko’s losses in 2006.
          On December 29, 2006, the Company, through their wholly-owned subsidiary MCE, acquired the remaining 65.2% of Gecko’s outstanding common stock (“the Acquisition”). Under the terms of the Acquisition, each of Gecko’s selling stockholders received 1,000,000 shares (2,000,000 shares total) of the Company’s common stock which had a market value of approximately $1.9 million on December 29, 2006. On the Acquisition date, Gecko was a developmental stage company, as defined, and the Acquisition is accounted for as an asset acquisition and a business acquisition, which although similar to accounting for a business combination pursuant to SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”), no goodwill is recorded.
          On the date of the Acquisition, the selling stockholders were named the president and the chief operating officer of Gecko LLC pursuant to employment agreements they each entered into with Gecko LLC. In accordance with the purchase agreement, the vesting of certain restricted stock awards that were granted to the selling stockholders (75,000 shares each) under consulting agreements that existed prior to the Acquisition immediately vested and had a fair value of approximately $0.06 million on December 29, 2006.

          The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of fair values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a preliminary independent valuation obtained by management. No portion of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill since Gecko was a developmental stage company on the Acquisition date and did not meet the definition of a business in accordance with SFAS 141. Management is in the process of finalizing the valuation studies necessary to finalize the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Gecko and the related allocation of purchase price, and expects adjustments to the preliminary fair values which may include those related to intangibles and in-process research and development acquired.

          The income tax benefits recorded for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were derived from the Company’s participation in the New Jersey Emerging Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Program. This program allows certain qualified companies to be compensated for the transfer of their New Jersey net operating losses to other companies.
          Significant components of the Company’s net deferred taxes as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:
                 
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2006     2005

          The Company has provided a full valuation allowance in 2006 and 2005 for its deferred tax assets since the realization of these future benefits is not considered more likely than not. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to change based on estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period. If the Company achieves profitability, these deferred tax assets would be available to offset future income taxes. The Company assesses the need for the valuation allowance at each balance sheet date based on all available evidence.
          As of December 31, 2006, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $69,200,000 for federal income tax purposes and approximately $44,500,000 for state income tax purposes. The federal carryforwards will begin to expire in 2020, and the state carryforwards will begin to expire in 2007. In addition, at December 31, 2006 the Company had available federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1,244,000 that begin to expire in 2020 and state research and development credits of approximately $422,000.

In January and February of 2007, the Company converted $300,000 of the Debentures in exchange for 305,148 shares of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in a BCF charge of $21,000 during the first quarter of 2007.
Note 10 — Private Placement Transactions
     Redeemable Series C Preferred Stock
          On April 25, 2005, the Company consummated a private placement financing transaction with seven institutional and accredited investors pursuant to the terms of a securities purchase agreement with such investors. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the investors paid $10 million in cash for 10,000 shares of our redeemable Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C”). Each Series C share is convertible into 500 shares of our common stock, at any time, at an initial conversion price equal to $2 per share subject to adjustment based upon customary anti-dilution provisions, or lower based upon the market price of our common stock during the ten trading days preceding conversion. The shares of Series C bear a 7% cumulative dividend payable quarterly in shares of common stock or cash, at our option, and are junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in liquidation preference. The Series C is subject to mandatory redemption by the Company three years after issuance and can be settled in cash or with the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Series C is recorded as a liability in accordance with FAS 150 (“Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”). Additionally, the Company issued to the investors three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.25 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $2 per share, subject to adjustment based on customary antidilution protections. The warrants were valued at $1,021,928 at the date of issuance and were recorded as a discount to debt and as additional paid-in-capital and is being amortized as interest expense throughout the term of the Series C or as they are converted, whichever comes first. During 2006 and 2005, we recorded $208,339 and $593,844, respectively for the amortization of the discount. The Company amortizes the financing fees incurred for the Series C transactions throughout the term of the Series C or as they are converted, whichever comes first.
          Under the Series C purchase agreement with the investors, the Company is required to restrict funds for future dividends to be paid with respect to the Series C. As a result, these funds, which amounted to approximately $1,800,000 at issuance, were classified as restricted cash. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company issued 303,710 and 54,117 shares valued at $397,686 and $109,128, respectively in satisfaction of the quarterly dividend payments with respect to Series C. Total dividends of $360,134 and $374,819, which include dividends paid in cash and common stock, were recorded as interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, since the Series C was recorded as a liability. According to the Series C purchase agreement, as dividends are issued or paid, and conversions are executed, the restricted cash is released ratably to the Company’s non-restricted cash accounts. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $5.1 million of the Series C have been converted into 2,677,795 shares of the Company’s common stock and we have transferred $1,396,880 from the restricted cash account for the conversions that were executed.
          On February 15, 2007, the Company entered into agreements with each holder of Series C pursuant to which the Company agreed, between the date of such agreement and June 15, 2007, deliver Company Interim Conversion Election Notices (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series C) to convert 50% of such holder’s shares of Series C into shares of the Company’s common stock over a four month period at the Company’s option. As provided in the Certificate of Designations of the Series C, the closing sale price for the Company’s common stock on the date immediately preceding the date of each Company Interim Conversion Election Notice must be at least 114% in excess of the conversion price (if the applicable closing sale price is $1.25 or less) or 108% in excess of the conversion price (if the applicable closing sale price is greater than $1.25), in order for the Company to cause such conversion. As a result, these conversions would result in BCF charges in accordance with EITF 00-27 (“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”) and EITF 98-5 (“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”) since the conversion price would be lower than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the conversion.

     Series A and Series B Preferred Stock
          On April 25, 2005, the Company consummated the first closing under a joint development arrangement with The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”). In connection with the closing, the Company issued 155,724 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”) to Dow, each share of which is initially convertible into ten shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Series A issuance in exchange for services rendered by Dow in conjunction with the joint development arrangement, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $2,413,722 as product development expense based on the market value of the underlying common stock as of April 25, 2005. The Series A has substantially the same rights of our common stock, therefore the Series A was valued based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 25, 2005.
          The purpose of the joint development arrangement is for the two companies to jointly develop portable power solutions based on our Hydrogen on Demand® energy systems coupled with a fuel cell. The joint development arrangement has a three year term and each party may terminate the joint development arrangement under certain conditions. The joint development arrangement contemplates a series of four milestones designed to culminate in a commercially available product in military or consumer electronics applications. The milestones are focused on military and/or consumer electronics applications.
          Upon the successful completion of each of the four milestones, Dow has a right, but not an obligation, to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B”) which is convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock that could be purchased for $1,250,000 (based upon a purchase price equal to the volume weighted average price for the 30-trading day period prior to the date of issuance). If Dow purchases shares of the Company’s Series B, Dow will also receive warrants to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock that equals 25% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B. If Dow elects to purchase shares of the Company’s Series B, the Company will also issue to Dow additional shares of Series A at market value such that Dow will own a certain percentage of the Company’s capital stock as of the date of issuance as provided in the Dow Stock Purchase Agreement. If Dow elects not to purchase shares of the Company’s Series B upon completion of any milestone, the Company will also issue to Dow a lesser number of additional shares of Series A at market value.
          On May 3, 2006, the Company and Dow agreed that the first milestone under the joint development agreement was met. Dow elected to purchase 71,429 shares of Series B for $1,250,000, and received detachable warrants to purchase 178,571 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $2.10 per share which were recorded as a discount to Series B for $159,227 based on the fair value of the warrants at the date of the issuance. Series B is initially convertible into ten shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares of Series B bear a 6% cumulative dividend payable in shares of common stock or cash, at the Company’s option and are junior to Series A. In accordance with the joint development arrangement and achievement of the first milestone, the Company also issued 138,150 shares of Series A that were earned by Dow through human resource and intellectual property contributions toward achievement of the first milestone. As a result of the issuance of Series A, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $2,113,695 as product development expense based on the market value of the underlying common stock as of May 26, 2006.
          Effective December 16, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Dow whereby Dow waived anti-dilution adjustments for a period of one year in exchange for a reduction in their strike price of warrants issued on May 3, 2006 from $2.10 to $1.25.
Note 11 — Stock Options, Employee Benefit Plans and Other
     Stock-Based Compensation
          In July 2000, the Company adopted the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan and reserved 6,000,000 shares of common stock, which includes shares that are allotted under the 401(k) plan. The plan provides for the granting of the following types of awards: stock options, stock warrants, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance unit awards and stock bonus awards. Options and warrants issued under this plan have a life of ten years and generally vest ratably over three years. The specific terms and conditions of awards granted under the plan are specified in a written agreement between the Company and the participant.
          Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense 2006 included compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after December 31, 2005 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123. In 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense based upon the number of stock options and restricted stock awards expected to vest, which was determined based on historical turnover experience of the Company. The Company reviews its forfeiture rate at each balance sheet date and revises its compensation expense, if necessary. The Company generally recognizes these compensation costs using the cliff vesting method over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of three years.
          The impact to the consolidated financial statements, as a result of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R compared to continued recognition of stock-based compensation under APB 25, was an increase to net loss of $497,023 for 2006. The increase in the net loss resulted in a $0.01 increase on the net loss per share to both basic and diluted earnings per share in 2006. The increase to net loss that resulted from the adoption of SFAS 123R reflected the stock-based compensation expense associated with the unvested stock option awards as of December 31, 2005 and grants made in 2006.
          Stock-based compensation expense previously recognized in accordance with APB 25 for restricted stock awards, remains essentially unchanged under the provisions of SFAS 123R. Restricted stock awards are issued at the fair value of the stock on the grant date. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, unearned compensation for grants of restricted stock equivalent to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant was recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and subsequently amortized to compensation expense over the awards’ vesting period. In accordance with FAS 123R, shareholders’ equity is credited commensurate with the recognition of compensation expense. All unamortized unearned compensation at January 1, 2006 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
          The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.”:
                 
    Year Ended December 31,

          The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
                 
    Year Ended December 31,
    2005   2004

Expected stock price volatility
    .89       .57  
Risk-free interest rate
    4.45 %     3.48 %
Expected option term
  5 years     5 years  
          Based upon the above assumptions, the weighted average fair value of stock options granted were $1.28 and $1.14 in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Stock Options
          The Company has awarded stock options to certain employees and directors. Stock options awarded to directors vest immediately. Stock options awarded to employees typically vest over three years. The Company granted 150,000 stock options to a director during 2006 and the fair value of the award was recorded as stock compensation expense on the grant date. The Company did not issue options to employees during 2006. The fair value of the options issued to directors in 2006 were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: fair value option price — $1.02; risk-free interest rate — 4.59%; dividend yield — 0%; expected volatility (based on historical volatility) — 75%; and expected life — 10 years.
          Option activity for all outstanding options, vested and nonvested, from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 was as follows:

          The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on the last trading day of 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2006. The intrinsic value changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.
          As of December 31, 2006, there was $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
Restricted Stock Awards
          Restricted stock awards will vest in five years, or earlier, upon meeting certain accelerated vesting criteria, as defined. Restricted stock awards are stock-based awards for which the employee or director does not have a vested right to the stock (“nonvested”) until the requisite service period has been rendered or the required financial performance factor has been reached for each pre-determined vesting date. Restricted stock awards are generally subject to forfeiture if the employee is not employed or a director is not a member of the board of directors on the vesting date. Prior to vesting, restricted stock awards have all of the rights of common stock (other than the right to sell or otherwise transfer). The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award.
          In 2006 and 2005, the Company issued 465,400 and 474,800 shares of restricted stock to employees with a fair market value of $763,256 and $1,044,560, respectively. These shares will vest in five years, or earlier, upon meeting certain accelerated vesting criteria, as defined. The Company recorded $277,998 and $543,171 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively in non-cash charges for restricted stock issued to employees. The Company will recognize additional non-cash charges of $277,998 in 2007 and an additional $708,649 will be recorded through 2010, or earlier if other accelerated vesting features are met.
          The Company issued 50,000 shares of restricted stock in 2006 and 2005 and 100,000 shares of restricted stock in 2004 to the chief executive officer under an employment agreement. The Company recorded $89,500, $85,450 and $199,900 during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, in non-cash charges for restricted stock issued to the chief executive officer.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
          During 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of restricted stock awards to the principal shareholders of Gecko (See Note 5). The issuance was made pursuant to two consulting agreements between the Company and those individuals. The initial 50,000 shares of the restricted stock had a fair value of $72,500 on the date of grant and are fully vested as of June 30, 2006. 150,000 shares of the restricted stock had a fair value of $232,500 on the date of grant and were vesting on a graded basis over three years, however based on the Acquisition, these shares fully vested on December 29, 2006. The Company recorded non-cash charges of $193,333 associated with these shares during the year ended December 31, 2006. As prescribed by EITF No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” these restricted stock awards issued to the principal shareholders of Gecko when they were non-employees were re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. As a result, the Company recorded for both grants non-cash charges for the vested portion of the restricted stock awards to date and marked to market the unvested portion of the remaining unvested restricted stock awards throughout 2006.
          Changes in nonvested restricted stock awards for the year ended December 31, 2006 were as follows:
                 
            Weighted-  
            Average Grant  
    Number of     Date Fair  
    Shares     Value

    (11,400 )     1.85  
 
           
Nonvested at December 31, 2006
    736,480     $ 1.88  
 
           
          As of December 31, 2006, there was $1.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards. This expense is expected to be recognized as the shares vest.
          The Company also incurred non-cash charges of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to the fair value of warrants issued to affiliates and a board member. The accounting methodology for these warrants requires a re-valuing of the warrants at each period ending market price using a Black-Scholes pricing model. Due to the variable nature of this accounting methodology, it is difficult to predict the amount of additional non-cash charges the Company will incur related to these warrants during future periods.
     Savings Plan
          In December 2000, the Company enacted a savings plan that complies with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows employees to contribute a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis in accordance with specified guidelines. The Company matches in company stock in July and December of each fiscal year, on a one-to-one basis, the vested portion of employee contributions up to 6% of eligible compensation. Employee contributions to this plan began in January 2001. Employer matching stock contributions vest ratably over three years. The Company funded the vested matching contributions to the plan with 154,314, 110,952 and 60,211 shares of common stock with an issued market value of $252,700, $164,031 and $103,772 in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     Other
          In December of 2006, the company cancelled 1,617,417 in exchange for a $400,000 payment which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital.
Note 12 — Rabbi Trust
          In 2003, the Company established a deferred compensation arrangement whereby a portion of certain Board of Directors fees could be withheld and placed in a Rabbi Trust at their option. The Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 97-14 “Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangement Where Amounts Are Earned and Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested” which requires the Company to consolidate into its financial statements the net assets of the trust. The deferred compensation obligation has been classified as a current liability. The fair value of the Rabbi Trust was $116,273 and is payable in cash or the Company’s common stock upon the holders’ request.

Note 13 — Grant Obligation
          Between January 1999 and April 2000, the Company received an aggregate of $227,522 from a recoverable grant award from the State of New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology. The funds were used to partially fund costs directly related to development of the Company’s technology. The recoverable grant is required to be repaid when the Company generates net sales in a fiscal year. The repayment obligation, which began in June 2001, escalates from 1% to 5% of net sales over a ten-year period. The Company is obligated to repay the unpaid amount of the original grant at the end of the ten-year period. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has repaid approximately $70,611 and an additional $13,197 was paid in the first quarter of 2007.
Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies
          In April 2001, the Company amended its main operating lease to provide for additional space for the Company’s principal operating offices and laboratories. The amended lease will expire in 2008 and will contain options to renew for an additional eight years and will require the Company to pay its allocated share of taxes and operating cost in addition to the annual base rent payment. Future minimum annual lease commitments, excluding estimated allocated taxes and maintenance under the amended operating leases, are as follows:
         
2007
    484,310  
2008
    443,950  
 
     
Total
  $ 928,260  
 
     
          Rent expense under the operating lease was approximately $571,466, $649,956 and $640,523 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In 2006 and 2005, the Company subleased 5,000 square feet of facility space to an unrelated third party. The current sublease expires in November 2007. In 2006 and 2005, the lessee paid $111,300 and $27,825 with respect to the sublease, which were recorded as a reduction to rent expense.
          In connection with the amended lease agreement, the Company issued a letter of credit to the landlord for $588,972 in lieu of a cash security deposit. The letter of credit was collateralized with a portion of the Company’s cash and is classified as Restricted Cash. The funds used for collateral will not be available for use in operations.
          In connection with the Acquisition, the Company is obligated to pay 5% of Gecko’s net sales to Motorola, Inc. for a licensing fee. In connection with the agreement with Motorola, licensing fees paid by the Company cannot exceed $1.5 million per year and shall not exceed $22.0 million over the life of the agreement.
          From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that any such litigation would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
Note 15 — Related Party Transactions
          In October 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a financial advisory services agreement with Andersen, pursuant to which Andersen is to act as the Company’s Senior Financial Advisor. As Senior Financial Advisor, Andersen is required to support the Company’s efforts to raise capital through transactions that contemplate issuances of debt, equity and/or convertible securities by the Company to strategic entities and financial investors. In consideration therefore, the Company paid Andersen a non-refundable retainer in the amount of $62,500 in 2004. Further, upon the execution and delivery of definitive agreements with respect to a strategic transaction in 2005, Andersen was entitled to and received fee equal to $62,500 payable which was paid in shares of restricted Common Stock.

          In December 2005, Zoltan Merszei, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, was awarded 100,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.48 per share. These options will vest ratably over three years. In December 2005, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $126,258 based on the fair value of the options. The options were awarded by the Board of Directors in recognition of Mr. Merszei’s contributions towards the negotiation of the joint development arrangement with Dow, which was executed in April 2005 (see Note 10). Mr. Merszei is a former member of the Board of Directors of Dow and has a family member who is currently employed there as well.
          In 2005 and 2004, respectively, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement and a Restricted Stock Grant Agreement with Mr. H. David Ramm, a member of the Board of Directors, and the Chief Executive Officer, and an Agreement with DKRW Energy LLC (“DKRW”), a limited liability company of which Mr. Ramm is a member. The Company made a grant to Mr. Ramm of 50,000 and 100,000 shares of restricted stock in 2005 and 2004, respectively in accordance with the restricted stock agreement. Under the DKRW agreement, the Company agreed to pay a monthly retainer of $12,500 and $25,000 to DKRW in connection with Mr. Ramm’s serving as the Chief Executive Officer in 2005 and 2004, respectively. In 2006, the Company entered into a similar employment agreement directly with Mr. Ramm, which also included the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted stock.
Note 16 — Subsequent Events
     Convertible Debentures
          On February 16, 2007, the Company sold to six institutional and accredited investors $6,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our unsecured convertible debentures due 2009 (“the 2007 Debentures”), and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,824,105 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.14 per share. Interest will accrue on the 2007 Debentures at the prime rate (currently 8.25%) and is payable on a quarterly basis in shares of common stock or, if the Company satisfies certain conditions, it may elect to pay interest in cash. The 2007 Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.42 and, under certain circumstances, at a conversion price equal to 91% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days preceding the applicable notice of conversion. The discounted portion of these conversions would result in BCF charges in accordance with EITF 00-27 (“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”) and EITF 98-5 (“Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”).
          In connection with this private sale, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors under which the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register under the Securities Act the resale of the shares underlying the 2007 Debentures (including any shares issued as payment of interest) and the warrants. If the Company does not file the registration statement with the SEC within 45 days of the closing or if the registration statement is not effective by the 120th day after the closing, the Company agreed to pay the investors liquidated damages (for each 30 days period in which the Company fails to file the registration statement or such registration statement is not effective, as applicable) in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price for the 2007 Debentures.

(2)   The fourth quarter of 2006 includes $0.4 million and $0.1 million of charges for in-process research and development and amortization expenses, respectively. These charges are in connection with the investments in Gecko which began in the first quarter of 2006 and concluded with the Acquisition of Gecko on December 29, 2006. The Company retained a valuation specialist to assist them with the purchase price allocation in December 2006 which resulted in the determination of the aforementioned charges which were not deemed material to prior 2006 quarters.
