PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information regarding our company, the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed under “risk factors,” and our financial statements and the accompanying notes.
 
NaturalNano, Inc.
 
NaturalNano is a development stage company and we expect to remain so for at least the next twelve months. Our primary mission is to develop and commercialize material science technologies with a special emphasis on additives to polymers and other industrial and consumer products by taking advantage of technological advances we have developed in-house and through licenses from third parties. These technologies focus primarily on nanoscale materials using modifications to tubular materials found in halloysite clay. Our strategy is to develop proprietary and patentable processes and technologies related to these nanoscale materials and to commercialize these through product sales or license agreements to companies in the polymers, plastics and composites, cosmetics and personal care products, household products, and agrichemical industries.   We hold over twenty issued or pending patents and proprietary know-how for extraction and separation processes of halloysite and other nanotubes, in combination with other materials. We began our current line of business on December 22, 2004. From that date through December 31, 2006, we have incurred cumulative net losses of $11,536,635. We have relied almost entirely on sales of our securities and related party advances to fund our operations.

NOTE REGARDING MERGER
 
Prior to November 29, 2005, we were a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) known as “Cementitious Materials, Inc.” Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 26, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Cementitious Acquisitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and NaturalNano, Inc., now known as NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”), on November 29, 2005 Merger Sub was merged with and into NN Research, with NN Research surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, we changed our name to “NaturalNano, Inc.” As a result of the Merger, we ceased being a shell company. Except where the context indicates otherwise, all references in this prospectus to “us”, “NaturalNano” or “the Company” refer, with respect to periods prior to the Merger, to NN Research and, with respect to periods after the Merger, to the consolidated enterprise consisting of NaturalNano, Inc. and NN Research.
 
NOTE REGARDING STOCK SPLIT
 
On February 8, 2006 we effected a two-for-one stock split. All references in this prospectus to the number of shares of our Common Stock and to related per-share prices (including references to periods prior to the effective date of the stock split) reflect this stock split.
 
 
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These include statements about our expectations, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” and similar expressions. These statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed for the reasons described in this prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
You should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors such as:
 
·
the successful implementation of research and development programs;
 
·
the ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of our technology;
 
·
the timeline for customer accreditation for product formulations;
 
·
our ability to enter into strategic partnering and joint development agreements;
 
·
our ability to competitively market our Pleximer and filled tube products;
 
·
the terms and timing of product sales and licensing agreements;
 
·
the timing and approval of filed and pending patent applications;
 
·
the ability to raise additional capital to fund our operating and research activities until we generate adequate cashflow from operations;
 
·
our ability to attract and retain key personnel and;
 
·
general market conditions.
 
The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the following material risk factors as well as all other information set forth or referred to in this prospectus before purchasing shares of our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The Company believes all material risk factors have been presented below. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business operating results and financial condition would likely suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to purchase our common stock.
 
Risks Related to our Business
 
We have a limited operating history, no material revenues to date and therefore a high risk of potential business failure unless we can overcome the various obstacles inherent to a development stage business.
 
We are a development stage company with limited prior business operations. Our primary mission is to develop and commercialize material science technologies with a special emphasis on additives to polymers and other industrial and consumer products by taking advantage of technological advances we have developed in-house and through licenses from third parties. Because of our limited operating history, you may not have adequate information on which you can base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Investors should be aware of the difficulties, delays and expenses normally encountered by an enterprise in its development stage, many of which are beyond our control, including unanticipated research and development expenses, employment costs, and administrative expenses. We cannot assure our investors that our proposed business plans as described herein will materialize or prove successful, or that we will be able to finalize development of our products or operate profitably.
 
From our inception on December 22, 2004 through December 31, 2006, we have incurred cumulative losses of $11,536,635. As a result of the start-up nature of our business, we expect to sustain substantial expenses before generating significant revenues. There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability in the immediate future or at any time. Management has taken actions to ensure that the Company will continue as a going-concern through December 31, 2007, including the completion of a private placement of $3,347,500 of 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes on March 7, 2007 which, net of fees provided working capital proceeds of $3,132,500. Management believes this funding vehicle will enable the company to continue as a viable business through the end of 2007.
 
We are dependent on continued funding and the successful development and marketing of our products. Investors should be aware of the increased risks, uncertainties, difficulties and expenses we face as a research and development company and that an investment in our common stock may become worthless if our business fails.
 
If we cannot achieve commercial application of our nanoscale materials, we may not achieve profitability.
 
We must develop commercial applications for halloysite nanotubes, which we intend to develop through joint development agreements in specific market segments in identified potential fields of use. If we fail to establish such collaborative relationships or if we are unable to develop sufficiently attractive commercial uses for our nanoscale materials or if we are unable to produce these materials at a competitive cost, we may not achieve profitability.
 
We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, which could slow or prevent our ability to achieve profitability.
 
The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our development and growth strategy will require effective planning. Significant rapid growth could strain our internal resources and delay or prevent our efforts to achieve profitability. We expect that our efforts to grow will place a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to successfully attract, train, motivate, retain and manage new employees and continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively slower growth is likely to occur and thereby slowing or negating our ability achieve and sustain profitability.
 
We may not be able to fully protect our proprietary rights and we may infringe the proprietary rights of others which could result in costly litigation.
 
Our future success depends on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary rights related to our technology and resulting products. We have the rights to over twenty issued or pending patents relating to processes and technologies and expect to continually invest in the growth of our intellectual property portfolio through in-house development and through third party licensing and joint venture research. We cannot assure you that we will be able to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property rights and technology without our authorization. The Company intends to pursue aggressively all efforts to obtain patent protection for our technology. The Company also relies on trade secrets, common law trademark rights and trademark registrations, as well as confidentiality and work for hire, development, assignment and license agreements with employees, consultants, third party developers, licensees and customers. Our protective measures for these intangible assets afford only limited protection and may be flawed or inadequate.
 
-4-

Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and some foreign laws do not provide the same level of protection as U.S. laws. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or patents that we may obtain, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.
 
In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. In particular, there has been an increase in the filing of suits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressure defendants into entering settlement arrangements quickly to dispose of such suits, regardless of their merits. Other companies or individuals may allege that we infringe on their intellectual property rights. Litigation, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights, is costly and the outcome is inherently uncertain. In the event of an adverse result, we could be liable for substantial damages and we may be forced to discontinue our use of the subject matter in question or obtain a license to use those rights or develop non-infringing alternatives.
 
We may not have opportunities to enter into future joint development agreements for the commercialization of our technologies, which could have a severe negative impact on our ability to market our products.
 
Leveraging strategic partnerships is an important part of our business plan. We plan to achieve product commercialization through joint development agreements as these relationships will help us to validate and expand our technology and offer insight into and definition of additional application opportunities and develop future sales channels. We intend to continue our development of these strategic partnerships with research teams at leading industry manufacturers, and suppliers in order to develop the manufacturing and marketing efforts that we believe will be required to commercialize our products. If we are unable to enter into additional strategic alliances and joint development agreements in the future, we may be unable to complete the commercialization of our products as effectively as we currently envision.
 
The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and has relatively low barriers to entry. Increased competition could result in margin erosion, which would make profitability even more difficult to achieve and sustain.
 
We expect that our future product offerings will provide new capabilities and superior performance compared to existing materials. However, many of our current and prospective competitors are larger and have greater financial resources, which could create significant competitive advantages for those companies. Our future success depends on our ability to compete effectively with other manufacturers of material additives that may have internal development programs. As a result, we may have difficulty competing with larger, established competitor companies. Generally, these competitors have:
 
·  
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources;
·  
larger customer bases;
·  
better name recognition; and
·  
potentially more expansive product offerings.

Many existing and potential competitors have greater financial resources and are likely to command a larger market share, which may enable them to establish a stronger competitive position than we may have, in part through greater marketing opportunities. If we fail to address competitive developments quickly and effectively, we may not be able to remain a viable entity.
 
Our business could be negatively affected by any adverse economic developments in the advanced materials industry and/or the economy in general.
 
We depend on the demand for the application of our technology and nanoscale materials and as such our business is susceptible to downturns in the advanced materials industry and the economy in general. Any significant downturn in the market or in general economic conditions would likely result in additional investments in research and marketing and thereby increase our costs to bring our products to market.
 
-5-

Our future success depends on retaining our existing key employees and hiring and assimilating new key employees. The loss of key employees or the inability to attract new key employees could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in lost sales and a slower rate of growth.
 
Our success depends in part on our ability to retain key employees including our executive officers. Although we have certain employment agreements in effect with our executives, each executive can terminate his or her agreement generally with 90 days notice. It would be difficult for us to replace any one of these individuals. In addition, as we grow we may need to hire additional key personnel. We may not be able to identify and attract high quality employees or successfully assimilate new employees into our existing management structure.
 
Technology Innovations, LLC has a 49.6% ownership of our outstanding shares and there may be circumstances that give rise to conflicts of interests between the Company and our principal stockholder.
 
Because of the nature and development stage of the Company and the business objectives of Technology Innovations, LLC, there may be circumstances of potential conflicts of interest and differing objectives between these entities. Any potential conflicts may not be resolved in a manner that is considered favorable to all stockholders, considering Technology Innovations voting influence. We do not believe it is possible to predict the precise circumstances under which future potential conflicts may arise and therefore intend to address potential conflicts on a case-by-case basis. Our disinterested board members will make all determinations and decisions relating to issues involving Technology Innovations, LLC.
 
Because one of our directors is a significant equity owner and manager of Technology Innovations, LLC, our principal stockholder, there may be conflicts of interest.
 
Michael L. Weiner, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is the Manager and a 42.74% beneficial equity member of Technology Innovations LLC, (“TI”) a company engaged in the business of identifying and acquiring intellectual property for investment and exploitation. TI beneficially owns 49.6% of our outstanding common stock. Further, Mr. Weiner is on the board of Nanolution, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Biophan Technologies, Inc., an entity with which we have entered into a joint research agreement. Because of the nature of our business and the business of these other entities, the relationships of Mr. Weiner with these other entities may give rise to conflicts of interest with respect to certain matters affecting us. All potential conflicts may not be resolved in a manner that is favorable to us. We believe it is impossible to predict the precise circumstances under which future potential conflicts may arise and therefore intend to address potential conflicts on a case-by-case basis. Under Nevada law, directors have a fiduciary duty to act in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the corporation. Our disinterested board members will make all determinations and decisions relating to Technology Innovations and other affiliates as they may arise.
 
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
 
We have a history of operating losses and expect to report future losses that may cause our stock price to decline.
 
For the operating period since inception (December 22, 2004) through December 31, 2006, we have incurred a net cumulative loss of $11,536,635. We expect to continue to incur losses as we spend additional capital to develop and market our technologies and establish our infrastructure and organization to support anticipated operations. We cannot be certain whether we will ever earn a significant amount of revenues or profit, or if we do, that we will be able to continue earning such revenues or profit. Also, any economic weakness or global recession may limit our ability to develop and ultimately market our technologies. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and result in you losing a portion or all of your investment.
 
Our research and development efforts may not result in commercially viable products which could result in a decline of our stock price and a loss of your investment.
 
Our technologies are in the development stage. Further research and development efforts will be required to develop these technologies to the point where they can be incorporated into commercially viable or saleable products. We may not succeed in developing commercially viable products from our technologies. If we are not successful in developing commercially viable products or if such products become obsolete, our ability to generate revenues from our technologies will be severely limited. This would result in the loss of all or part of your investment.
 
We may need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail.
 
Because we are a development stage company and have no material revenues, we need to secure on-going funding. The private placement of $3,347,500 of 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes which, net of fees, provided working capital proceeds of $3,132,500 in the first quarter of 2007, may not be sufficient to carry out all of our plans and to fund our operating losses until we are able to generate enough revenues to sustain our business. If we are unable to obtain adequate funding, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our products and our business will most likely fail. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities. Under these circumstances, we may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms or at all.
 
-6-

Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations which would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely result in a lower stock price.
 
Our common stock has experienced in the past, and is expected to experience in the future, significant price and volume volatility, which substantially increases the risk that you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price that you pay for the shares.
 
Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
·  
variations in our quarterly operating results;
·  
our ability to complete the research and development of our technologies;
·  
the development of a future market for our products;
·  
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·  
announcement by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
·  
additions or departures of key personnel; and
·  
fluctuations in stock market price and volume.

Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price regardless of our operating performance. The historical trading of our common stock is not necessarily an indicator of how it will trade in the future and our trading price as of the date of this prospectus is not necessarily an indicator of what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future.
 
In the past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies' common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.
 
Our issuance of common stock at a price below prevailing trading prices at the time of issuance may cause our stock price to decline.
 
As of May 4, 2007 there were outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 14,124,000 shares of our common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $1.44 per share with a weighted average exercise price of $0.20 per share. There were also outstanding warrants for the purchase of 30,076,254 shares of our common stock, having exercise prices ranging from $0.22 to $1.01 per share with a weighted average exercise price of $0.39 per share. These options and warrants, as well as other options and warrants that we may issue in the future, may also result in shares being issued for consideration that is less than the trading price of our common stock at the time the shares are issued.
 
We may also issue shares in the future at a discount to the trading price of our common stock. Any such below market issuances, or the potential for such issuances, could cause our stock price to decline.
 
Shares of our common stock may be subject to price illiquidity and volatility because our shares may continue to be thinly traded and may never become eligible for trading on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange.
 
Although a trading market for our common stock exists, the trading volume has not been significant and an active trading market for our common stock may never develop. There currently is no analyst coverage of our business. The volume of shares in our public “float” will continue to be limited due to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws on shares issued to the former stockholders of NaturalNano and the fact that significant portions of our outstanding shares are held by our officers, directors or our principal stockholder. As a result of the thin trading market for our common stock and the lack of analyst coverage, the market price for our shares may continue to fluctuate significantly and will likely be more volatile than the stock market as a whole. There may be a limited demand for shares of our common stock due to the reluctance or inability of certain investors to buy stocks quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB), lack of analyst coverage of our common stock, and a negative perception by investors of stocks traded on the OTCBB. As a result, even if prices appear favorable, there may not be sufficient demand to complete a stockholder’s sell order. Without an active public trading market or broader public ownership, shares of our common stock are likely to be less liquid than the stock of most public companies, and any of our stockholders who attempt to sell their shares in any significant volumes may not be able to do so at all, or without depressing the publicly quoted bid prices for our shares.

While we may at some point be able to meet the requirements necessary for our common stock to be listed on one of the Nasdaq stock markets or on a national securities exchange, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve a listing of our common stock on Nasdaq or on a national securities exchange. Initial listing on one of the Nasdaq markets or one of the national securities exchanges is subject to a variety of requirements, including minimum trading price and minimum public “float” requirements, and could also be affected by the general skepticism of such markets concerning companies that are the result of mergers with inactive publicly-held companies. There are also continuing eligibility requirements for companies listed on public trading markets. If we are unable to satisfy the initial or continuing eligibility requirements of any such market, then our stock may not be listed or could be delisted. This could result in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit your ability to sell your shares, any of which could result in you losing some or all of your investments.
 
The so-called "penny stock rule" could make it cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our common stock, making the market for our common stock less liquid which could cause the price of our stock to decline.
 
Trading of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board may be subject to certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading in our stock will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers.
 
These may require a broker-dealer to:
 
·  
make a special suitability determination for purchasers of our shares;
·  
receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase; and
·  
deliver to a prospective purchaser of our stock, prior to the first transaction, a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock. Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.
 
A recapitalization through a reverse merger transaction is often heavily scrutinized by the SEC and we may encounter difficulties or delays in obtaining future regulatory approvals.
 
Historically, the SEC and NASD have not generally favored transactions in which a privately-held company merges into a largely inactive company with publicly traded stock. Therefore, there is a significant risk that we may encounter difficulties in obtaining the regulatory approvals necessary to conduct future financing or acquisition transactions, or to achieve a listing of shares on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange. On June 29, 2005, the SEC adopted rules dealing with private company mergers into dormant or inactive public companies. It is likely that we will be scrutinized carefully by the SEC and possibly by the National Association of Securities Dealers or Nasdaq, which could result in difficulties or delays in achieving SEC clearance of any future registration statements or other SEC filings that we may pursue, in attracting NASD-member broker-dealers to serve as market-makers in our stock, or in achieving admission to one of the Nasdaq stock markets or any other national securities market. As a consequence, our financial condition and the value and liquidity of your shares may be negatively impacted.
 
 
Our amended Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Such shares will have terms, conditions, rights, preferences and designations as the Board may determine. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of discouraging a person from acquiring a majority of our outstanding common stock.
 
-8-

It may be difficult for a third party to acquire us, and this could depress our stock price.
 
Nevada corporate law includes provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company or our management. These provisions could discourage information contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. For example:
 
 
(i)
without prior stockholder approval, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those of common stock and to determine the rights, privileges and inference of that preferred stock;
 
(ii)
there is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and
  (iii)
stockholders cannot call a special meeting of stockholders.
 
 
The resale by the selling stockholders of 42,756,710 shares of our common stock (representing approximately 26% of our outstanding shares as of May 4, 2007 on a pro forma basis (assuming full conversion and exercise of the derivative securities held by Platinum LTG, Longview and Platinum Advisors)) as contemplated by this prospectus will increase the number of our publicly traded shares and could depress the market price of our common stock. The mere prospect of resales by the selling stockholders as contemplated by this prospectus could also depress the market price for our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
 
The issuance to Platinum LTG, Longview and Platinum Advisors of shares of our common stock upon conversion and exercise of the derivative securities held by them will result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
 
The issuance of shares to Platinum LTG, Longview and Platinum Advisors will dilute the equity interest of existing stockholders and could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares which would contribute to a decline in the price of our common stock. The Company estimates that the common stock ownership, held by existing stockholders, will be diluted by 26% if all of the shares of common stock included in this prospectus are issued.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares registered in this offering.
 
NATURE OF TRADING MARKET
 
The Company’s common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol NNAN.
 
The high and low share prices for the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC: BB for each quarterly period during 2006 is presented below. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. Because our shares had traded only on a limited and sporadic basis prior to the November 29, 2005 Merger, there is no meaningful history of reported trades in the public market before that date and we therefore have not included a price history of our trades prior to this date.

Products
 
Our unique value-added technologies are directed to the production of our first innovative product, Pleximer TM as well as a related manufacturing solution utilizing advances in material science and chemistry to enhance and simplify current polymer manufacturing processes. Pleximer has been designed to address the manufacturing process challenges encountered by many polymer and plastics compounders in meeting end-user demands for stronger, lighter and lower cost polymer-based products. Pleximer is a turn-key halloysite nanotube polymer concentrate that can be added directly to a polymer extruder. Pleximer is formulated using NaturalNano’s proprietary and patent-pending processes that offer improved performance properties when compared to conventional fillers. The Pleximer product will be produced in pellet or flake form, sold in tons and designed to be added directly into a final stage polymer extruder with better cost and performance characteristics compared to conventional fillers.
 
Our future success with Pleximer will be dependent on our ability to tailor products and system-solutions in close cooperation with our potential customers. A further success factor will be our ability to solve our customer’s manufacturing problems quickly, within their manufacturing environment, and tailored to their market definitions and constraints. We believe a joint development approach with one or more customers will offer us opportunities to extend the range of Pleximer to a family of related products and new application solutions. We believe our initial commercialization of Pleximer will occur in the fourth quarter of 2007 and will most likely be within the transportation, packaging, sporting equipment or the commercial products industry.
 
We do not currently manufacture any products and do not expect to engage in large scale manufacturing activities in-house in the foreseeable future. We will make capital investments for lab scale equipment to produce prototype batches of Pleximer for customer attribute validation and characterization testing. This investment may allow us to produce manufactured materials for high margin, small volume niche market applications. Typically, we will utilize toll manufacturers or joint development partners in instances where our customer requires a finished formulation of Pleximer for incorporation into their manufacturing process.
 
-11-

We envision that in some customer instances, we will license our technology and thus incorporate our know-how and patented processes in the areas of functionalized nanotubes into the customer’s manufacturing process. In instances of licensing agreements, our customer (a materials compounder or polymer supplier, as an example) could then directly produce the functionalized materials for each of their specific applications. Our licensing strategies will focus on segmenting applications by (i) manufacturing technology used currently by the customer, (ii) the market addressed by the customer/licensee and (iii) the complexity of the processing application. We have not entered into any licensing agreements to date and believe that future agreements will be tailored based upon the customer’s industry segment and the complexity of the traditional processing alternatives available.
 
Pleximer
 
NaturalNano’s first family of products will center on our initial product, Pleximer, which is scheduled for market introduction in the fourth quarter of 2007. Pleximer is a turn-key halloysite nanotube polymer concentrate that can be added directly to a polymer extruder. Pleximer is formulated using NaturalNano’s proprietary and patent-pending processes that offer improved performance properties to polymer composites. The Pleximer product will be produced in pellet or flake form, sold in tons and designed to be added directly into a polymer extruder or molder with superior cost and performance characteristics compared to conventional fillers.
 
Today, most nanocomposites used in the plastics industry are made with “platy nanoclay” materials that are often challenging and expensive to process. Platy nanoclays, such as montmorillonite, contain layered two-dimensional sheets held together by an intermediary layer. These clay sheets must be exfoliated (chemically separated) to produce a nanoparticulate filler with uniform dispersion characteristics within a polymer matrix. Today’s platy nanoclay composite production processes require multiple processing steps including: surface treatments, incorporation of nanoclay into the polymer synthesis process, and additional extrusion steps before the final polymer extruder or molding, in order to achieve the uniform dispersion required for most polymer composite products. These multiple manufacturing processes lead to complexity, increased cost and dispersion quality challenges. Even with the manufacturing processes described above, today’s nanoclays are only viable in a limited number of polymer families due to specialized chemistry and manufacturing requirements. We believe the up-front capital investment, in specialized manufacturing equipment and quality issues associated with exfoliation, are the biggest market barrier to the growth in the nanoclay market segment today.
 
NaturalNano’s Pleximer family of products will open significant opportunities for our potential customers, the polymer compounders and molders and other end-users, to introduce nanocomposite products without significant capital investment. NaturalNano began manufacturing scale production testing for Pleximer during the second half of 2006. Manufacturing scale tests, product specific attribute design and attribute validation will continue through 2007.
 
Filled tube products
 
NaturalNano’s second generation halloysite nanotube (“HNT TM”) products will involve filling HNTs with active agents for use in the polymer composites, health and beauty, household product, and agrichemical industries. Halloysite nanotubes are unique nanomaterials, since the tube can be filled with active agents of interest to add a feature or property to a material. The filled tube product, planned for introduction in 2008, would be a second generation Pleximer product, which contains a material of interest within the tubes, such as an antimicrobial compound. Additional products planned for later in 2008 and 2009 would move into new markets, such as health and beauty, household products, and agrichemical. For example, HNTs can be filled with fragrances which, through our extended release technology under development, will elute out of the tube slowly over time. This would be of interest for household products such as laundry detergents, or health and beauty products. The filled tube technology provides potential for longer lasting treatments, with lower levels of active agents. In agrichemical applications, the tubes can be filled with pesticides for treatment of crops, thus providing a longer lasting treatment with lower levels of pesticides and a smaller environmental footprint.
 
The approaches for filling the tubes are covered by patents licensed from the U.S. Department of the Navy, and additional pending patents for specific applications of interest such as cosmetics and agricultural. In 2008, NaturalNano intends to obtain one or more JDA partners to work with us in the development of filled tube products for use in health and beauty, household, or agrichemical products.
 
Technology
 
We own or have the licensed rights to technology related to the extraction of halloysite nanotubes (which is taking the nanotube components out of a mixture of various minerals which are often found in halloysite clay) from processed halloysite clay that is provided by one or more halloysite mining companies. Halloysite clays differ in the concentration and physical characteristics, meaning the size and geometric shape, of tubular material content compared to platy clays. Classification of the halloysite nanotubes, for example by size and length, is important for certain applications. For example, longer HNTs will provide improved reinforcement compared to shorter HNTs in polymer composite applications. Therefore separating the longer tubes for use in polymer composites will result in better properties at lower fill levels, and therefore a lower weight nanocomposite. Classification will also be important for filled tube applications where determination of the loading potential of the halloysite nanotubes (which is the expected amount of active ingredients that may be placed in the hollow inner opening of the tubes) and determination of the resulting release characteristics of filled halloysite nanotubes (which is the amount of time required for a given quantity of active ingredient to flow from the nanotube) will provide control over the final properties. Many of the technologies related to extraction and classification of halloysite nanotubes are patent-pending and we expect to continue research in these areas which may lead to additional patent applications in the future.
 
-12-

Various treatments can be made to the halloysite nanotubes to prepare them for use in each end-use application. Examples of these treatments include: coating the outer surfaces of the nanotubes, metalizing outer and/or inner surfaces, loading or filling the nanotubes with active ingredients for possible controlled or extended release, and use of complementary technologies for further encapsulation of single or multiple functionalized nanotube. The combination of these technologies may present our prospective customers with significant and unique high-value-added niche market opportunities for their product offerings.
 
Our proprietary technologies include processing methods, formulations and specific surface treatments that enable the halloysite nanotubes to be classified and functionalized and thus be ready for use in a wide range of applications. The Company has the right to patented technologies as well as patents pending for processing methods, formulations and other surface treatment technologies.
 
Strategy
 
The NaturalNano commercialization strategy is focused on the development and introduction of a halloysite nanotube polymer concentrate, the Pleximer family of products, for commercial sale in the fourth quarter of 2007. This turn-key designed product, currently in the pilot and manufacturing scale testing phase of development, introduces a lower cost nanoclay alternative to the polymers and composites market segment. The Company’s researchers believe the unique characteristics of halloysite clay allow for the development of a novel process and material compound that will provide the stronger and lighter characteristics currently available from nanoclays, with a low cost processing structure relative to current nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and platy nanoclays. This low cost benefit results from naturally occurring materials (HNTs) that can be run in today’s manufacturing process; thereby capitalizing on a significant market that can not currently run nanocomposites. Market research indicates that the combination of stronger, lighter and less expensive materials is a high priority for companies producing products in the growing nanocomposites industry.
 
The critical milestones associated with the commercialization of the Pleximer family of products include: advanced pilot and manufacturing scale trials, application definitions and formulation optimization which will occur in combination with the customer validation and accreditation processes. The Company’s scientific advisory and commercialization leadership team includes experienced polymer extrusion and supply chain consultants as well as accomplished nanotube product development experts to advise NaturalNano in the commercialization and product development process.
 
Market Opportunities
 
The Company believes its technologies can provide benefits across many industry segments. Specific industries where management believes halloysite nanotubes may enhance products through controlled and extended release of active ingredients or through other treatments provided on the surfaces of the tubes include:
 
·
Polymers, plastics and composites
·
Agricultural products
·
Household products
·
Cosmetics, health and beauty products
·
Performance sporting equipment
 
The potential markets for our technologies are significant and are projected to continue growing as future developments in material science and customer demands develop.
 
·
The American Composites Manufacturers Association projected in 2004 that composite manufacturers alone generated over $13 billion in revenues and impacted over $45 billion in revenues from related composite suppliers and manufacturers.
 
·
According to Plasticnews.com, BCC Research estimated the North American plastics compounding production in 2006 at 65.7 billion pounds and estimates growth to 79.5 billion pounds by 2011. This market segment was estimated by Plasticnews.com to be $10.6 billion in 2006.
 
-13-

 
·
The total estimated North American market for polymers and plastics, as presented by the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) in 2004, was approximately $345 billion in shipments.
 
·
The worldwide market for cosmetics and household care products, measured by Euromonitor International in 2003, estimated these markets at $201 billion and $83 billion, respectively.
 
·
The Freedonia Group, Inc. has estimated the U.S. nanomaterials demand in 2003 at $263 million and projects growth in this market to $1.36 billion in 2008 and $34 billion by 2020.
 
Polymer, Plastics and Composites
 
Composites are used in numerous market segments including: transportation, construction, and performance sporting goods. As cited above, the U.S. polymer composites market is currently estimated at $13 billion with nanocomposites highlighted as the fastest growing segment within the polymer composites market. NaturalNano believes that these markets will evolve into even larger market opportunities, as production cost and quality hurdles are resolved.
 
The Company’s nanomaterials can be used to replace conventional composite fillers in the production of a wide array of consumer and commercial products over numerous market segments. Conventional fillers are used in products to reduce weight, increase strength, improve machine efficiency, increase water and chemical resistance as well as to improve film integrity. The NaturalNano research indicates that our halloysite-based products will replicate or exceed the current performance standards achieved by conventional fillers and platy clays, and can be produced in a less-capital intensive process and therefore at a lower unit cost. The Company believes the introduction of the Pleximer family of products will result in stronger, lighter and less expensive nanocomposite materials.
 
Nanocomposite Market
 
Our prioritization of the nanocomposite market for our initial product introduction is based on a total world-wide market in 2005, measured by BCC Research in June 2006, at approximately $273 million. This market study projects the nanocomposite market will grow to $741 million by 2010 and identifies the fastest growing component of the nanocomposite market as the nanoclay segment. We believe our Pleximer product offers significant product opportunities and advantages to current products within this segment and have therefore, prioritized our first product introduction in the nanocomposite market.
 
We believe Pleximer offers a unique solution, in that it is a turnkey solution using standard manufacturing equipment, and provides features that include high product strength, lower product weight and lower production cost. We believe these improved quality and cost characteristics will be available as a result of our unique patent pending processes and technologies. Our manufacturing and lab scale testing and research indicate that our technology and processing techniques could be applied in numerous applications that currently cannot utilize platy nanoclay solutions due to processing and chemical limitations.
 
Raw Materials and Processing
 
On December 29, 2004, we contracted with Atlas Mining Company for the purchase of 500 tons of processed halloysite nanotubes. We paid $250,000 to a designated distributor of Atlas Mining, with an additional $100,000 payable when commercial shipments in excess of $250,000 are achieved. Payments made under this agreement are presented as prepaid expenses and will be recorded as inventory upon receipt of the processed nanotubes. Operating expenses are recognized in the period the nanotubules are used in the development of proprietary applications or as customer shipments are made. As additional consideration, we agreed to pay an additional 10% of the resale cash proceeds upon receipt from unaffiliated third parties in instances where the purchase price is in excess of $700 per ton up to a maximum of $2,000 per ton.
 
We believe this supply of halloysite clay will be sufficient to meet the Company’s research and commercialization needs for the next twenty four months. Atlas Mining Company operates what is generally considered to be the largest commercial halloysite mine in the United States. NaturalNano has identified other halloysite sources that we believe are suitable as alternate suppliers of raw materials, and as such, we will not be solely dependent upon Atlas Mining Company for the supply of raw materials.
 
We believe that halloysite clay does not require any special handling, storage, or disposal and can be treated like any other clay product.
 
Our process begins with raw or minimally processed halloysite material from the mine. The halloysite would then be separated and treated utilizing our proprietary technologies and would be surface treated, optimized for the polymer of interest. This refined and treated material may be shipped to a partner company or a designated toll manufacturing facility in the form of a dry powder or slurry mixture. Pleximer would be manufactured from the HNTs either at a partner company, toll manufacturer, or in-house (for small scale quantities) and would typically be shipped to the customer in pellet or flake form, although the customer’s specific requirements will determine the final form of delivery. NaturalNano can add further value to the refined and classified nanotubes by either adding material to the surface of the nanotubes or loading the lumen (hollow opening) of the nanotubes with active materials. The resulting intermediary materials can then be shipped to customers for use in their individual manufacturing processes.
 
-14-

These pellets, flakes, powders or suspensions will be designed as an intermediate component of a customer’s finished product. Typically, these materials would be incorporated with other ingredients to produce the finished product that our customer would sell, for instance providing a strengthening agent or extended release agent to be added to the partner’s existing materials or products.
 
If requested by a customer, we will evaluate and select suitable toll manufacturers in the targeted industry segment. Toll manufacturing is a contractual arrangement with a third-party firm that has existing equipment and personnel for manufacturing materials to specifications and utilizing technologies and materials provided by NaturalNano. The use of tolling arrangements would allow the Company to limit our capital investment requirements and direct manufacturing hiring. Any future tolling arrangements will include non-complete and non-disclosure agreements.
 
Customers
 
Our plan for 2007 includes our first projected revenues in the fourth quarter. The first market introductions for the Pleximer products are expected to be for transportation, packaging, sporting equipment, electronics or another commercial product application. The Company believes these 2007 operating revenues will be generated from the sale of processed and functionalized HNT products in a polymer-based pellet or flake under the product name “Pleximer.” It is most probable that the first delivered tons of Pleximer will be in conjunction with a joint development partner in the compounding or molding industry. Management anticipates that future results of manufacturing-scale testing, with joint development partners, will identify instances for common development that could offer both parties new market offerings to solve strength and dispersion issues that result from traditional nanoclay formulations. Management believes that the unique manufacturing solutions, generated from Pleximer technologies, will also lead to licensing opportunities in a variety of such customer circumstances.
 
Sales
 
The Company’s executive team is currently responsible for developing relationships with prospective customers and future joint research and development partners. We intend to recruit sales, marketing and product development employees and consultants with chemical, manufacturing and engineering experience to assist with the design and commercialization of system-solutions to generate product and licensing revenues for the Company.
 
Strategic partnerships and joint development agreements (“JDA”) are an important element of our commercialization strategy. We have entered into two JDAs and are in the preliminary stages of joint development projects under those JDAs. The first, with Nylon Corporation of America, Inc. focuses on the development and commercialization of nylon-based Pleximer products. The second, with Cascade Engineering, Inc., addresses the development and commercialization of polypropylene-based Pleximer products.
 
We will continue evaluating additional JDA partners for additional product applications. We anticipate that our JDA partners will help us to validate and expand our technology, develop and optimize extrusion (melt blending) processes, offer insight into additional application opportunities, as well as assist in the development of future sales channels.
 
Competition
 
Competitors in the nanotechnology industry include large public firms where nanotechnology may be a business unit and private firms that may focus solely on nanomaterials and nanotechnologies.
 
Many of our current and prospective competitors are larger and have greater financial resources, which could create significant competitive advantages for those companies. Our future success depends on our ability to compete effectively with other manufacturers of material additives that may have internal development programs. As a result, we may have difficulty competing with larger, established competitor companies. Generally, these competitors have:
 
·
substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources;
·
larger customer bases;
·
better name recognition; and
·
potentially more expansive product offerings.
 
-15-

Many of these potential competitors have greater financial resources and are likely to command a larger market share, which may enable them to establish a stronger competitive position than we may have, in part through greater marketing opportunities. If we fail to address competitive developments quickly and effectively, we may not be able to remain a viable entity.
 
Larger companies that have nanotechnology business units or divisions that are working with nanotechnology, such as: Air Products and Chemicals, BASF, Cabot Corp., Dow, E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Company, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, IBM, Mitsubishi Chemical, Sumitomo Chemical, 3M, and others; have substantial resources. They have the capability to produce nanomaterials for their own internal use as well as for sale on the open market. Private firms include: Hyperion Catalysis International, Inc., Inframat Corporation, Nanogate AG, Nanogram Corporation, and Qinetiq Nanomaterials Limited. These firms may be considered competitive in the general field of supplying nanoscale materials for use by firms that NaturalNano may also consider as prospective customers.
 
NaturalNano’s Pleximer is a HNT polymer concentrate designed to provide stronger, lighter, and less expensive materials for the polymer composite industry. Competitive products that provide similar mechanical property improvements include nanomaterial concentrates containing either carbon nanotubes or nanoclay platelets. As one example Hyperion Catalysis International, Inc. provides concentrates of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in various polymers. However, the CNT raw materials are very expensive; typically 1000x the cost of nanoclay materials, so NaturalNano believes that we will be cost advantaged.
 
Pleximer will compete most directly with compounding (polymer melt-blending) companies marketing nanoclay concentrates, or master batches, such as PolyOne Corporation and NanoCor, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of AMCOL International Corporation.). However, products of PolyOne and NanoCor are currently limited to platy clay materials, which as described previously, are typically challenging and expensive to process. Research in nanocomposites has been ongoing for 5-10 years; however, limited products exist on the market currently, due to the manufacturing issues associated with processing the materials. Current solutions are used in specialized, high margin applications within the transportation, sporting equipment, electronics, and high-end commercial markets. NaturalNano believes that our lower processing costs (relative to platy nanoclays) will allow us to maintain higher margins for the next several years.
 
Today’s nanoclays are only viable in a limited number of polymer families due to specialized chemistry and manufacturing requirements. The compatibility of HNTs with a broader range of polymers will provide an opportunity for NaturalNano to compete in the polymer composite industry in segments where platy clays cannot currently be used. NaturalNano intends to develop joint development partnerships with compounding companies to enter directly into the supply chain and bring the product to the end user through our partners.
 
NaturalNano’s second generation products will involve filling HNTs with active agents for use in the agrichemical industries, health and beauty, and household products markets. There are very few companies, that we are aware of, that are working with HNTs for this purpose. NanoDynamics, Inc. is working with HNTs in the building materials segment for wallboard and paperboard applications. This is not a target market for NaturalNano, and we believe that the activities in an alternate industry will help to strengthen the market validation of this material, without competing directly. The ability to fill tubes is unique to HNTs, and will thereby generate high margin, value-added product opportunities.
 
The nanoclay segment of the nanocomposite market, which includes halloysite, is expected to grow from $75M today, to $348M in 2010 (according to a study released in June 2006 by BCC Research). Therefore there is a large opportunity for growth and market share for multiple companies in this segment.
 
Employees
 
As of April 30, 2007, the Company had eight full-time and two part-time employees. Management anticipates the addition of two research staff within the next twelve months in connection with the product development and commercialization of the Pleximer product. Our evaluation of human resource needs often results in our use of experienced part-time consultants in various functional areas in lieu of the immediate hiring of full-time employees.
 
 
Intellectual Property
 
Numerous applications for halloysite purification, formulation, processes, and applications have been identified to date and are potential opportunities for our intellectual property development. NaturalNano assesses potential development opportunities through consultation with its Scientific Advisory Board, direct contact with prospective customers and evaluation of market research generally sourced from research reports and through internal discussion of potential product development concepts. As research and development continues, we intend to seek patent protection for new developments and technologies in the United States and in strategic foreign markets, in addition to licensing-in patents to augment our development opportunities.
 
-16-

The Company has the rights to over twenty issued or pending patents related to our processes and technologies and expects to continually invest in the growth of the intellectual property portfolio through in-house development of unique concepts and processes as well as through third party licensing and research programs. NaturalNano intends to continually strengthen this group of intangible assets through patent filings and through the development of proprietary knowledge and trade-secrets. At December 31, 2006, our intellectual property portfolio included applications in the areas of material processing, new compositions of matter and specific applications for the use of functionalized materials. The Company also uses trademark protection for current and anticipated products.

Patent Assignment modifying License Agreement with Technology Innovations, LLC
 
During the first quarter of 2007, our principal stockholder, Technology Innovations LLC (“TI”) assigned us all rights, title, interests in, and improvements to various issued patents and pending applications which TI had previously licensed to us.
 
License with Naval Research Laboratory
 
On August 12, 2005, we entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with the United States Department of the Navy, as represented by the Naval Research Laboratory (“NRL”) for non-exclusive rights and a license to patented technologies in the fields of halloysite clay and nanotubules. The license had an original term of six months during which time the parties would actively negotiate a partially exclusive license within specific fields of use. This agreement allows for the extension of the original term for the purpose of completing license negotiations. The license is not transferable or assignable and does not allow sub-licenses. The NRL and the Company are engaged in negotiations in connection with the completion of a partially exclusive license and anticipate the completion of such an agreement in 2007. The current agreement includes a non-refundable license issue fee of $10,000, paid at signing, and annual minimum license fees of $5,000 in each of the calendar years 2006 and 2007, and $10,000 for calendar year 2008 and each year thereafter throughout the period of the license. The annual license fees are not refundable and shall be credited toward payment of royalties earned during the calendar year following such payment.
 
License Agreement with Ambit Corporation
 
On December 31, 2005, we entered into a License Agreement with Ambit Corporation (the “Ambit License”) for the rights to a patented technology in the field of electronics shielding. On November 13, 2006, the parties signed an amended and restated license agreement, effective October 1, 2006, modifying the terms of the original agreement. The amended agreement changes the scope of the license from exclusive to non-exclusive and changes the original royalty stream to 20% royalty payments upon the sale of licensed products utilizing the technology or in instances of sublicense agreements. The amended agreement also includes annual reporting progress made on product development and various confidentiality elements. This agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration date of the last to expire related patent that is covered by the agreement, which is projected to be in fiscal 2014. In consideration for the rights granted under the original agreement, the Company paid $100,000 in cash and issued to Ambit 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.45 per share in connection with the original agreement. In connection with the November 13, 2006 amendment, the purchase price was modified and the 200,000 shares issued to Ambit were returned to the Company.
 
Government Regulation
 
There are relatively few laws or regulations specifically addressing nanotechnology. As a result, the manner in which existing laws and regulations will be applied to nanotechnology in general, and how they relate to our business in particular, is unclear in many cases. We expect new laws and regulations to be adopted that may be directly applicable to our activities and we may anticipate the possibility that future products we develop may be subject to governmental approvals of some type. We believe that our technologies will be incorporated into various products by major manufacturers and that these manufacturers will be responsible for obtaining regulatory approvals required for studies and marketing of their products. Any existing or new legislation applicable to us could expose us to substantial liability, including significant expenses necessary to comply with such laws and regulations and could dampen the growth in the use of nanotechnology in general.
 
 
Our primary business operations are conducted from leased office space located at 15 Schoen Place in Pittsford, New York. The Schoen Place lease calls for annual rent of $44,000 for each the first two years of the lease term, with annual rent increases of 5% for years three through five and annual increases of 3% for years six through fifteen. The lease agreement provides for our use of the office space through April 30, 2022 (subject to our right to terminate under certain conditions, including landlord re-leasing of the property, after March 1, 2009 with 90 days notice). The landlord is responsible for all real property taxes for the first 38 months of the term; thereafter, the landlord will absorb the first 3% of any increases and half of the remaining 97% will be reimbursed by the Company based on its proportionate share (17%) of the building usage. In addition to being responsible for utilities within our leased space, we have agreed to pay our proportionate share of utility charges for common area within the building.
 
-18-

We currently lease approximately 3,000 square feet of laboratory space in Rochester, New York under a two year agreement that expires on January 31, 2008. This agreement includes a one-year renewal option that allows for the extension of this agreement through January 31, 2009. The annual base rent under this agreement is $46,187, plus a pro rata share of the operating expenses, for each of the first two years and increases to $47,687 for the optional renewal year.
 
We believe our current office and laboratory facilities will be adequate for our anticipated needs for the next twelve months. We believe that appropriate insurance coverage is in place and effective for these facilities and related business needs.
 
Company History
 
We were originally organized in Idaho on May 6, 1971 as Hall Mountain Silver Mines, Inc. For a period after inception, Hall Mountain was involved in the ownership and operation of certain mining claims, but operations discontinued in 1981 and we were inactive until 1989. In June 1989 we changed our name to Network Videotex Systems, Inc. and in November 1989 we changed our name to Wessex International, Inc. On May 22, 1991, we acquired Ocean Express Lines, Inc., a Florida corporation engaged in the business of operating a scheduled steamship between Miami, Florida and ports in the Western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. In connection with this transaction, we changed our name to Ocean Express Lines, Inc. We did not achieve profitability and ceased operating activities in 1992. On February 18, 2000, we relocated our domicile of incorporation from Idaho to the Nevada. On June 19, 2003, we changed our corporate name to American Thorium, Inc. On October 10, 2003, in connection with all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cementitious Material Technologies, Inc. (“CMTI”), we changed our corporate name to Cementitious Materials, Inc. It was our intent that following the acquisition of CMTI we would engage in the business of licensing, marketing and promoting new construction materials based on CMTI’s proprietary technology. However, shortly after the acquisition it was determined by the parties involved that it would be in the best interest of all concerned to rescind the acquisition and accordingly, in April 2004, the acquisition of CMTI was rescinded. As a result of the rescission, we ceased conducting business operations and became a shell company.
 
NaturalNano, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 22, 2004. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 26, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Cementitious Materials, Inc., Cementitious Acquisitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and NaturalNano, Inc., now known as NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”), Merger Sub was merged with and into NN Research, with NN Research surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Cementitious Materials, Inc. changed its name to “NaturalNano, Inc.” As a result of the Merger, we ceased being a shell company.
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we issued 89,838,756 shares of our authorized but previously unissued common stock to the stockholders of NN Research in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of NN Research. An additional 20,939,200 shares of our authorized but previously unissued common stock were issued in consideration for the conversion of outstanding NN Research convertible debt. The shares issued to the former stockholders and note holders of NN Research represented, in the aggregate, approximately 91.7% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company immediately following the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we also issued options and warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 14,400,000 shares of our common stock to the holders of outstanding NN Research options and warrants, in consideration of the cancellation of such options and warrants.
 
Because the shares issued to NN Research’s stockholders and note holders in the Merger represented a controlling interest in the Company, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization, and NN Research was considered the acquirer for accounting purposes.
 
Technology Innovations, LLC
 
Technology Innovations, LLC (“TI”), a privately held New York limited liability company, is the beneficial owner of approximately 49.6% of our common stock. TI was founded in 1999 by Harold Robbins, former patent counsel for Bausch and Lomb, and Michael L. Weiner, a marketing and software executive formerly with Xerox Corporation and Microlytics. TI is managed by a team of entrepreneurs, investment bankers and patent attorneys engaged in the development of, and investment in, business opportunities based on a foundation of intellectual property. The TI intellectual property portfolio includes issued and pending patents in technology areas from electronics to biotechnology. In addition to its ownership interest in NaturalNano, TI also holds direct or indirect interests in Biomed Solutions, LLC, Biophan Technologies, Inc., OncoVista Inc., Myotech, LLC, Nanocomp, LLC, and Progenitech.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
General
 
We are a development stage company and expect to remain so for at least the next twelve months. Our primary mission is to develop and exploit technologies in the area of materials science, with a special emphasis on additives to polymers and other industrial and consumer products, taking advantage of technological advances we have developed in house and licensed from third parties. These technologies include a specific focus on nanoscale materials using modifications to tubular and spherical materials found in clay. Our strategy is to develop patentable processes and technologies related to these nanoscale materials and to develop products in the polymers, plastics and composites, cosmetics, household products and agri-chemical industries. Our near-term goal is to commercialize our core technology and application processes utilizing halloysite nanotubes.
 
We do not expect to generate significant revenues in 2007 during which time we will engage in significant research, development and commercialization efforts. We project total spending of approximately $3 million (including capital investments of $256,300 and $100,000 in licensing investments) in 2007.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
We believe, that of the significant accounting policies described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, the following policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity and accordingly; these policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We have earned only nominal operating revenue since our inception (December 22, 2004). This revenue was generated from the delivery of sample products requested by consumer product manufacturers in connection with early product development evaluations. The Company earns and recognizes such revenue when the shipment of the sample products has occurred and when no further performance obligation exists.
 
 
Overview
 
As of December 31, 2006 the Company had a cash balance of $139,638 and negative working capital of $940,605, which reflects $600,000 of advances made under the 2006 Line of Credit Agreement with Technology Innovations, LLC, our principal shareholder. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations. Since inception on December 22, 2004, the Company’s growth has been funded through a combination of convertible debt from private investors and cash advances from Technology Innovations, LLC.
 
Management has taken actions to ensure that the Company will continue as a going-concern through December 31, 2007, including the completion of a private placement of $3,347,500 of 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes on March 7, 2007 which, net of fees of $215,000, provided working capital proceeds of $3,132,500 in the first quarter of 2007. Management believes this funding vehicle will enable the company to continue as a viable business through the end of 2007. During 2007, we plan to fund our research and development and commercialization activities by utilizing the proceeds of this private placement funding.
 
 
Line of Credit Agreements with TI
 
As further described in Note 3 “Agreements with Technology Innovations, LLC” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, our principal shareholder Technology Innovations, LLC provided us with a $1 million line of credit (the “2006 line of credit”). TI is headed by Michael L. Weiner, the Chairman of our Board of Directors who is a 42.7% owner of TI. Under the 2006 line of credit agreement, the Company initiated and received advances of $600,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006 and an additional $300,000 through February 14, 2007. Amounts borrowed under the line bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The 2006 TI line of credit was established on terms we believe to be competitive with comparable transactions involving unaffiliated parties and was approved by the disinterested members of our Board of Directors.

On March 7, 2007 in connection with the Loan and Security Agreement (the ”Loan and Security Agreement”) with Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV, Longview Specialty Financing, Inc. and Platinum Investors LLC., TI agreed as long as any notes were outstanding under this Agreement, that TI would not demand repayment on the 2006 line of credit, except as specifically permitted under the Loan and Security Agreement.
 
Sale of Atlas Mining Warrants - August 9, 2006
 
On August 9, 2006, we entered into a Warrant Purchase Agreement with a third party to sell the Atlas Mining warrant for $562,500, less fees of $56,250. We received net cash proceeds of $506,250 from this Warrant Purchase Agreement upon the transfer of the warrant on August 22, 2006.
 
March 7, 2007 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants
 
On March 7, 2007, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for $3,347,500 with Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV (“Platinum”), Longview Special Financing, Inc. (“Longview”) and Platinum Advisors LLC (the “Agent”), for its own account and as agent for the other investors.
 
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued $3,250,000 face amount of 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to Platinum and Longview. The holders of the Notes may elect to convert the Notes at any time into shares of our common stock based upon a price of $0.22 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Notes contain anti-dilution protection that will automatically adjust the Conversion Price should we issue equity or equity-linked securities at a price per common share below the Conversion Price to the price at which we issue such equity or equity-linked securities. Interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Notes is payable quarterly at a rate of 8% per annum, payable at our option in cash or in shares of our common stock registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). If we elect to make an interest payment in common stock, the number of shares issuable by us will be based upon the 85% of the 20-day trailing volume weighted average price per share as reported on Bloomberg LP (the “VWAP”). Principal on the Notes is due and payable on March 7, 2009. If the closing price of our common stock on the principal market or exchange on which our stock is traded (currently the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board) is at least $1.00 for twenty consecutive trading days, we can compel conversion of the Notes at the Conversion Price.
 
Our obligations under the Notes are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of our assets and substantially all of the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”). In connection with the grant of these security interests, on March 7, 2007, we entered into a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which we granted to the investors and the Agent a security interest in all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of NN Research. In connection with the grant of these security interests, on March 7, 2007, NN Research entered into the Patent Security Agreement (the “Patent Security Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which NN Research granted to the investors and the Agent a security interest in all of NN Research’s patent interests.
 
As further consideration, on March 7, 2007 we issued to Platinum and Longview two series of warrants, for the purchase at any time on or before March 7, 2011, of an aggregate of 22,159,092 shares of our common stock. The first series of warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) covers the purchase of an aggregate of 11,079,546 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share. The second series of warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) covers the purchase of an additional aggregate of 11,079,546 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. If the closing price of our common stock on the principal market or exchange on which our stock is traded (currently the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board) is at least $0.75 for twenty consecutive trading days, we can compel exercise of the Series A Warrants. Each series of Warrants contain anti-dilution protection that will automatically adjust the exercise price of such series of Warrants should we issue equity or equity-linked securities at a price per common share below the exercise price of such series to the price at which we issue such equity or equity-linked securities.
 
On March 7, 2007, as consideration for due diligence services in connection with the Purchase Agreement, we paid to the Agent a cash fee of $97,500 and issued to that firm (i) a Note (identical in form to the Notes issued to the other investors) in the principal amount of $97,500, (ii) Series A warrants for the purchase of 332,387 shares of our common stock at $0.22 per share, (iii) Series B Warrants for the purchase of a total of 1,473,581 shares of our common stock at $0.33 per share, and (iv) a warrant (the “Series C Warrant”) for the purchase at any time on or before March 7, 2011 of 1,141,194 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share.
 
-21-

On March 7, 2007, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, in payment of interest on, or upon conversion of, the Notes, or, at the option of the investors, in satisfaction of certain liquidated damages provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, NN Research entered into Patent Assignment agreements (the “Patent Assignments”) with Technology Innovations, LLC (“TI”), our principal stockholder, on March 2 and 5, 2007, pursuant to which TI assigned to NN Research all of its rights, title and interest in certain issued patents and pending patent applications, with respect to which TI had previously granted NN Research licenses. This assignment relinquishes TI’s rights under the license agreement and results in the Company’s receipt of the marketable title to the patents, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances and eliminates future license fees and royalty payments as defined in the license.
 
TI also agreed, in a letter to the Agent and the other investors dated March 7, 2007 (the “Lock-Up Letter”), that for a period of two years from the date of the Lock-Up Letter it will not (except as permitted under the Lock-Up Letter in certain limited circumstances) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of our common stock. TI further agreed, in a letter to the Agent and the other investors dated March 7, 2007 (the “Standstill Letter”), that it would not demand repayment by us or NN Research of any obligations for money borrowed except as permitted under Section 7.20 of the Purchase Agreement.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the stock option expensing rules of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” using the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for stock options already granted. The Company utilized the modified prospective approach of adoption under SFAS No. 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated. The Company previously accounted for its employee stock option plan under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in the statement of operations in reporting periods prior to the first quarter of 2006, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded stock-based compensation costs of $2,970,959 in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R).
 
 
Research and Development Expenses and Capital Expenditures
 
Research and development expenditures consist primarily of:
 
·
Salaries and related benefit costs for our research and development employees,
·
Collaborative consulting fees and reimbursements of costs for product and manufacturing evaluations and testing,
·
Legal fees to file, renew and expand our intellectual property portfolio,
·
Investments in the expansion of our laboratory and testing facilities, including investments in capital and specialized leased assets, and
·
Licensing fees for access to technologies developed by others.
 
Our research and development plans for the next twelve months include material characterization and formulation testing in the areas of:
 
·
Use of halloysite as an additive in composites and polymers,
·
Halloysite characterization, purification and separation, and
·
Extended release properties of HNTs in polymers, health and beauty, and household product applications.
 
-22-

We anticipate our spending in support of research, product development and intellectual property will continue as our characterization testing expands to commercial formulations which, we believe, will result in our product sales in the fourth quarter of 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we incurred costs of $2,034,426 and $660,284, respectively, in our research and development programs. Capital expenditures relating to research and development efforts aggregated $140,206 during year ended December 31, 2006.
 
During 2007, we anticipate investments of $362,400 and $256,300, respectively, for collaborative research and licensing agreements and capital investments, for our research and development programs. Research and development expenses for this twelve month period will include: testing and validation costs associated with product design and attribute validation, manufacturing scale experiments and research support, lab materials, and employee costs. We project total research and development spending of approximately $1,878,300 (including capital investments of $256,300 and $100,000 in licensing investments) in 2007.

The leased office and laboratory space are subject to certain escalations for our proportionate share of increases on the buildings operating costs.
 
Investment in Capital Expenditures
 
We expect our capital requirements will increase progressively over the next several years as we commence new research and development efforts and increase our business and administrative structure. Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the levels and costs of our research and development initiatives, the nature of our strategic partners infrastructure and the cost and timing of the growth in our business development and staffing.
 
Accounting for Income Taxes
 
We are a development stage company with an accumulated deficit of $11,536,635 through December 31, 2006. As a result, our accounting for income taxes is not significant to our results of operations. We will utilize net operating loss carryforwards as an offset to future taxable net income until the tax effect of this accumulated deficit is exhausted.

Comparison of Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
 
Revenues
 
Revenues of $15,000 and $500 were generated in 2006 and 2005, respectively, from the delivery of specifically formulated sample products, requested by consumer product manufacturers, in connection with early product development evaluations. These revenues are not recurring in nature, as they reflect delivery of processed halloysite based on defined attributes for evaluation purposes.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Total research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $2,034,426, which reflects an increase of $1.4 million over total research and development expenses of $660,284 in the comparable period in 2005. The most significant component of this increase is the non-cash expense of $1,038,631 in incentive compensation expenses recognized in 2006 compared to non-cash stock option expenses of $77,280 for 2005. Additional investments in headcount and laboratory supplies and technical halloysite testing also contributed to the year-over-year increase in research and development expenses. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively we employed 4 and 3 employees on our technical research team.
 
Total general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $4,078,776, which reflects an increase of $2.1 million over general and administrative expenses of $2,017,291 in the comparable period in 2005. The most significant component of this increase is the non-cash expense of $1,932,328 in incentive compensation expense reflecting the vesting of stock options in 2006 compared to non-cash stock option expenses of $192,802 for 2005. Increases in salaries and benefits as well as legal and audit fees also contributed to the year-over-year increase in general and administrative expenses in 2006 compared to 2005.
 
 
Interest income (net) for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $5,821, which reflects a decrease of $8,314 compared to $14,135 in the comparable period in 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company realized a reduction in net interest income earned reflecting the lower average cash balance available for interest income and the accrued interest expense incurred on advances made under the 2006 TI line of credit beginning in the third quarter of 2006. During 2006, the Company realized $22,566 in interest income on money market accounts and accrued $16,745 in interest expense on the 2006 TI line of credit. During 2005, the Company realized $26,028 in earnings on money market accounts and paid $11,893 in interest expense on the 2004 TI line of credit.
 
On January 28, 2005, NaturalNano was granted a two-year warrant for the right to acquire 750,000 shares of Atlas Mining common stock at $.40 per share. The Company accounted for this warrant as a free-standing derivative and recorded an asset and recognized other income of $180,000 upon receipt. On August 9, 2006, the Company entered into a Warrant Purchase Agreement with a third party to sell the Atlas Mining warrant for $562,500 less fees of $56,250. The Company received the net cash proceeds of $506,250 as a result of this agreement on August 22, 2006. Prior to the sale of the warrant in 2006, the Company accounted for this warrant as a free-standing derivative and, accordingly, had recorded the warrant at its fair market value which resulted in non-cash unrealized gains, in 2005, of $90,000.
 
Financing fees for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $3,006,786, which reflects an increase of $2.7 million compared to $273,442 in the comparable period in 2005. These non-cash expenses reflect the fair market value of warrants granted during each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 at amounts valued utilizing the Black-Scholes model, as further described below.
 
On July 9, 2006, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 4,770,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.75 to $1.30 per share (with a weighted average exercise price of $1.02 per share) to SBI Brightline XIII, LLC. This warrant was fully vested on the date of grant, expires on March 30, 2009 and has been valued using the Black-Scholes model on the date of grant. This valuation resulted in a third quarter 2006 charge of $3,006,786 included in the caption “Financing fees” in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
 
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company received $225,000 in financial consulting services from SBI USA, LLC for which payment was satisfied through the issuance of 4,500,000 common stock warrants. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.115 per share, were fully vested as of the March 31, 2005 issuance date and had an original expiration date of March 31, 2006. On December 19, 2005, the Board of Directors extended the expiration date of this instrument to March 31, 2007. As a result, the Company recorded $48,442 as an incremental cost for these services reflecting the estimated fair market value associated with the term extension, as calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The consulting expenses relating to these warrants were provided during the first quarter of 2005 and were included in financing fees in the accompanying Statements of Operations. These warrants expired unexercised on March 31, 2007.

Comparison of Statement of Cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
 
Operating activities
 
Total cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2,740,292, which reflects an increase of $500,000 over the total cash used in operations of $2,225,051 in 2005. The Net loss realized in 2006 and 2005, adjusted for non-cash expenses relating to grants of options and warrants accounted for the majority of the 2006 increase in cash used in operations. Non-cash items consisted of depreciation and amortization on capitalized assets and license agreements, the fair market value of warrants granted for services received, and the vesting of stock option grants in accordance with SFAS 123 (R). The Atlas Mining warrants, received by the Company in January 2005, were recorded as a free standing derivative and as such, unrealized non-cash gains were marked-to market and included in the operating results during 2006 and 2005. The net change in operating assets and liabilities since 2005 reflects the prepayment of the halloysite clay in 2005 and the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2006.
 
 
Net cash provided from investing activities in 2006 was $350,726, which resulted primarily from the net cash proceeds of $506,250, received in August 2006, upon the sale of the Atlas Mining warrants. Cash used for capital expenditures during 2006 reflect investments in our laboratory of $140,206 and in office furniture and equipment of $15,318. The Company made capital investments of $39,500 for furniture and computer equipment during 2005.
 
Financing activities
 
Net cash provided from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $810,839, which reflects a decrease of approximately $3,300,000 compared to the total cash provided from financing activities of $4,082,916 in 2005. During 2006, the Company entered into a line of credit with TI and initiated advances in accordance with this agreement aggregating $600,000. During 2006, the Company received net cash inflows, from affiliated entities for shared services agreements, of $169,539. During 2005 the Company had net disbursements of $73,084 in connection with affiliate service agreements. During 2006, several participants in the Company’s Incentive Stock Plan exercised their options and provided $41,300 in cash inflows. During 2005, the Company received $4,156,000 in cash in connection with the issuance of convertible bridge notes. These bridge notes were converted in common stock as a result of the November 29, 2005 merger with Cementitious Materials, Inc.

The Board and Committees of the Board
 
The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. The Board does not currently have a nominating committee and has not established specific procedures for selecting candidates for director. However, directors are currently nominated by a majority vote of the Board. There is also no established procedure for shareholder communications with members of the Board or the Board as a whole. However, shareholders may communicate with the investor relations department of the Company and such communications are either responded to immediately or are referred to the president or chief financial officer of the Company for a response.
 
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is currently composed only of Mr. Katz as Chairman. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are more fully set forth in the Audit Committee Charter which the Board adopted in December 2005. The Audit Committee Charter has been posted on our website at www.naturalnano.com. The Audit Committee reviews with the independent accountants the results of the audit engagement, approves professional services provided by the accountants including the scope of non-audit services, if any, and reviews the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. The Board has determined that Mr. Katz meets the qualifications as an audit committee financial expert.
 
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Weiner and Katz. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are more fully set forth in the Compensation Committee Charter which the Board adopted in December 2005.

The Chairman of our Board of Directors, Michael L. Weiner is the manager and significant equity holder of Technology Innovations, LLC, which owns approximately 49% of our outstanding common stock. Mr. Weiner and Technology Innovations are significant equity holders of Biomed Solutions LLC, a company engaged in the business of identifying and acquiring for exploitation technologies in the biomedical field.

Steven Katz is a member of our board of directors and serves as the Chairman of our Audit Committee. Until March 9, 2007, Mr. Katz also served on the board of directors of Biophan Technologies, Inc.
 
Because of the nature of our business and the business of these other entities, the relationships of all of the members of our Board of Directors with these other entities may give rise to conflicts of interest with respect to certain matters affecting us. Potential conflicts may not be resolved in a manner that is favorable to us. We believe it is not possible to predict the precise circumstances under which future potential conflicts may arise and therefore intend to address potential conflicts on a case-by-case basis. Under Nevada law, directors have a fiduciary duty to act in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the corporation.
 
-27-

Our disinterested directors will make all determinations and decisions relating to issues involving Technology Innovations, LLC and other affiliates that have been described above, without the vote of Mr. Weiner (in matters involving Technology Innovations) or of Messrs. Weiner and Lanzafame (in matters involving Biophan Technologies, Inc.). In addition, our Board continually acts to ensure that all directors discharge their obligations to NaturalNano in accordance with their fiduciary duties to the Company. To the best of our knowledge, no other person or entity affiliated with any of our directors, executive officers or 10% stockholders holds any beneficial interest in NaturalNano, Inc.
 
Although we are not subject to the rules or requirement of the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), we have, generally speaking, looked to those rules for guidance as to which members of our Board qualify as “independent directors.” Under these rules, an “independent director” is a person, other than an officer or employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, who has been affirmatively determined by our Board of Directors not to have a material relationship with us that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. As determined by AMEX, the following persons would not be deemed independent:
 
 
a)
a director who is, or during the past three years was, employed by the Company or by any parent or subsidiary of the Company, other than prior employment as an interim Chairman or CEO;
 
 
b)
a director who accepts or has an immediate family member who accepts any payments from the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company in excess of $100,000 during the current or any of the past three fiscal years, other than compensation for board service, compensation paid to an immediate family member who is a non-executive employee, non-discretionary compensation, certain requirement payments and a limited number of other specified types of payments;
 
 
c)
a director who is an immediate family member of an individual who is, or has been in any of the past three years, employed by the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as an executive officer;
 
 
d)
a director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments (other than those arising solely from investments in the Company’s securities or payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs) that exceed 5% of the organization’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, in any of the most recent three fiscal years;
 
 
e)
a director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, employed as an executive officer or any other entity where at any time during the most recent three fiscal years any of the Company’s executive officers serve on that entity’s compensation committee; and
 
 
f)
a director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor who worked on the Company’s audit at any time during any of the past three years.
 
Our Board has determined that each of Messrs. Katz, Lanzafame and Mikesell is an “independent director.”
 
 
Directors who are also our employees do not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board or its committees. Non-employee directors, for their services as directors, are paid an annual fee of $8,000. Mr. Katz receives an additional $5,000 annually for serving as the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Otherwise, no additional compensation is paid to any director for serving as a member of any committee of the Board. In addition, non-employee directors receive an automatic annual option grant of 50,000 common stock options as provided under the Company’s 2005 Incentive Stock Plan. All directors are reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending all board meetings. We maintain directors and officers liability insurance.

(2) The reported amounts reflect the dollar amounts recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with FAS 123R, of awards pursuant to our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and may include amounts from awards granted both in and prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

This option becomes fully vested and exercisable on the earlier of (i) completion of one year of service as a director measured from the date of grant or (ii) continuation of such service through the day immediately preceding the first annual shareholders meeting following the date of grant. This option has a termination date of July 19, 2016.

These options required (i) completion of one year of service as a director measured from the date of grant or (ii) continued such service through the day immediately preceding the first annual shareholders meeting following the date of grant. Because Mr. Kenzie resigned before satisfaction of the vesting requirements, these options terminated without becoming exercisable.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
 
On July 1, 2005, the Company granted to TI an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. This exercise price reflects the estimated fair market value of these options on the date of grant as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. This option has a ten-year term and as such expires on July 1, 2015.
 
On March 2, 2007, TI assigned all rights, title, interests in, and improvements to, the applications of various issued patents and pending applications to NaturalNano. This assignment relinquishes TI’s rights, under the April 27, 2005 license agreement, and results in the Company’s receipt of the marketable title to the patents, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances and eliminates future license fees and royalty payments as defined in the license. The April 27, 2005 exclusive, field of use limited license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Technology Innovations, LLC granted the Company an exclusive world-wide license to make, use and sell the products developed under these patents. The License Agreement covered several patent applications and provisional patents owned by Technology Innovations LLC that will expire at various future dates.
 
On June 28, 2006, we entered into a Line of Credit agreement with TI pursuant to which TI committed to make advances in an aggregate amount of $1 million. Under the Line of Credit Agreement, advances were allowed in such amounts and at such times upon 15 days, notice except that no more than $300,000 could be advanced in any 30-day period. Amounts borrowed bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The Agreement contains conventional terms, including provisions relating to events of default. Amounts borrowed under this agreement are to be used for general working capital needs. As of December 31, 2006 and February 14, 2007, $600,000 and $900,000, respectively, had been advanced under the Line of Credit Agreement. The TI line of credit was established on terms we believed to be competitive with comparable transactions involving unaffiliated parties and was approved by the independent members of our Board of Directors. The repayment obligation under the Line of Credit Agreement and the Note were originally scheduled to expire on March 31, 2007, at which time TI would be able to demand repayment upon 15 days notice. In connection with the March 7, 2007 issuance of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”), TI agreed not to demand repayment as long as any amounts were outstanding on the Notes. The 2006 line of credit agreement was established on terms we believe to be competitive with comparable transactions involving unaffiliated parties and was approved by the disinterested members of our Board of Directors. See Note 11, “Subsequent Event” for additional description of the terms and conditions of the issuance of these Notes.
 
On December 29, 2004 the Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement and a Promissory Note with TI that allowed for borrowings of up to $500,000 for working capital purposes and included an interest rate of 8% per annum. This agreement expired and all outstanding advances were repaid as of December 31, 2005.
 
On May 25, 2005, the Company entered into a joint research agreement with Nanolution, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Biophan. Biophan is related to the Company’s principal stockholder, Technology Innovations, LLC, through common ownership. This agreement covers the exchange of ideas in support of a new drug delivery capability. The term of this agreement shall continue until the desired technology becomes commercially viable or until mutually terminated by both parties.   All medical uses and inventions that arise as a result of this agreement will be owned by Nanolution, LLC and all purification processes for raw halloysite and non-medical applications will be owned by the Company.

Sections 78.411 through 78.444 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provide, in general, that a stockholder acquiring more than 10% of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation subject to the statutes (Interested Stockholder) may not engage in certain “Combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years subsequent to the date on which the stockholder became an Interested Stockholder.
 
Section 78.416 defines the term “Combination” to encompass a wide variety of transactions with or caused by an Interested Stockholder in which the Interested Stockholder receives or could receive a benefit on other than a pro rata basis with other stockholders, including mergers, certain asset sales, certain issuances of additional shares to the Interested Stockholder or transactions in which the Interested Stockholder receives certain other benefits.
 
These provisions could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our company. Our stockholders, by adopting an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, may elect not to be governed by these provisions. Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws currently excludes us from these restrictions.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The securities being offered hereunder are being offered by the selling stockholders identified below. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus up to an aggregate of 42,553,830 shares of our common stock.
 
Each selling stockholder may from time to time offer and sell any or all of its shares that are registered under this prospectus. Because no selling stockholder is obligated to sell its shares, and because the selling stockholders may also acquire publicly traded shares of our common stock, we cannot estimate how many shares each selling stockholder will own after the offering.
 
All expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the common stock covered by this prospectus will be borne by us, but we will not be obligated to pay any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or other expenses incurred by any selling stockholder in connection with its sale of shares. We estimated the expenses to be borne by us in connection with the registration statement to be $80,000.
 
The following table sets forth, with respect to each selling stockholder (i) the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of May 4, 2007 and prior to the offering contemplated hereby, (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock which may be sold by the selling stockholder under this prospectus, and (iii) the number of shares of common stock which will be owned after the offering by the selling stockholder.
 
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the tale below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock as beneficially owned.
 
We have based our calculation of beneficial ownership on the 121,900,740 shares of common stock outstanding on May 4, 2007. Except as specifically disclosed, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting and investment powers with respect to shares. Shares issuable within 60 days after May 4, 2007 upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and other convertible securities are included in the number of shares beneficially owned by an individual selling stockholder and are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of beneficial ownership of the person holding such options, warrants, or other convertible securities, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of any other selling stockholder. The number of shares being offered by the selling stockholders assumes (i) the conversion of an aggregate face amount of $3,347,500 of our outstanding 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes due March 7, 2009 (the “Convertible Notes”) into an aggregate of 15,215,910 shares of common stock to be sold by selling stockholders in this offering, (ii) the exercise of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 25,106,254 shares of common stock to be sold by selling stockholders in this offering, and (iii) the issuance of an aggregate of 2,434,546 shares of common stock (at an assumed price of $0.22 per share) in payment of interest accruing under the Notes through March 7, 2009, to be sold by selling stockholders in this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
General
 
Shares of common stock offered through this prospectus may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholders, including their transferees, pledgees, donees or successors. The shares may be sold directly or, alternatively, through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the applicable selling stockholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agents’ commissions. Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Sales may be effected in transactions (which may involve block transactions) (i) in the over-the-counter market, (ii) on any securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, (iii) in transactions otherwise than in the over-the-counter market or on such exchanges or services, or (iv) through the writing of options.
 
The selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with respect to our shares with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell our common stock short and deliver shares to close out short positions, or loan or pledge shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such securities. Material amounts of short selling of our common stock could contribute to progressive declines in the trading price of our common stock.
 
Each selling stockholder will act independently from us in making decisions with respect to the manner, timing, price and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell the shares in any manner permitted by law, including one or more of the following:
 
·
a block trade in which a broker-dealer engaged by a selling stockholder will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account under this prospectus;
·
an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the OTC Bulletin Board;
·
ordinary brokerage transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and
·
privately negotiated transactions.
 
In the event that the sale of any shares covered by this prospectus qualifies for an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such shares may be sold pursuant to that exemption rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
 
 
If a selling stockholder effects sales of shares through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). Any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
 
If a selling stockholder sells shares through an underwriter, broker, dealer or agent, the selling stockholder may agree to indemnify such underwriter, broker, dealer or agent against certain liabilities arising from such sale, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have been informed by each selling stockholder that there are no existing arrangements between it and any underwriter, broker, dealer or agent relating to the distribution of the shares.
 
Selling Stockholders’ Obligations
 
The selling stockholders have each agreed to comply with applicable state and federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated there under in connection with its sale of the shares. Each selling stockholder will pay all commissions and its own expenses, if any, associated with the sale of the shares, other than the expenses associated with preparing this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities including liabilities under the Securities Act and each selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities including liabilities under the Securities Act.

TRANSACTIONS WITH SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
On March 7, 2007, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the selling stockholders, Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV (“Platinum”), Longview Special Financing, Inc. (“Longview”) and Platinum Advisors LLC (the “Agent”), for its own account and as agent for the other investors. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued $3,250,000 face amount of 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to Platinum and Longview. The holders of the Notes may elect to convert the Notes at any time into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.22 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Notes contain anti-dilution protection that will automatically adjust the Conversion Price should we issue equity or equity-linked securities at a price per common share below the Conversion Price to the price at which we issue such equity or equity-linked securities. Interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Notes is payable quarterly at rate of 8% per annum, payable at our option in cash or in shares of our common stock registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). If we elect to make an interest payment in common stock, the number of shares issuable by us will be based upon the 85% of the 20-day trailing volume weighted average price per share as reported on Bloomberg LP (the “VWAP”). Principal on the Notes is due and payable on March 7, 2009. If the closing price of our common stock on the principal market or exchange on which our stock is traded (currently, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board) is at least $1.00 for twenty consecutive trading days, we can compel conversion of the Notes at the Conversion Price.

Our obligations under the Notes are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of our assets and substantially all of the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”). In connection with the grant of these security interests, on March 7, 2007, we entered into a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which we granted to the investors and the Agent a security interest in all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of NN Research. In connection with the grant of these security interests, on March 7, 2007, NN Research entered into Patent Security Agreement (the “Patent Security Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which NN Research granted to the investors and the Agent a security interest in all of NN Research’s patent interests.

As further consideration, on March 7, 2007 we issued to Platinum and Longview two series of warrants, for the purchase at any time on or before March 7, 2011, of an aggregate of 22,159,092 shares of our common stock. The first series of warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) covers the purchase of an aggregate of 11,079,546 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share. The second series of warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) covers the purchase of an additional aggregate of 11,079,546 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. If the closing price of our common stock on the principal market or exchange on which our stock is traded (currently the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board) is at least $0.75 for twenty consecutive trading days, we can compel exercise of the Series A Warrants. Each series of Warrants contain anti-dilution protection that will automatically adjust the exercise price of such series of Warrants should we issue equity or equity-linked securities at a price per common share below the exercise price of such series to the price at which we issue such equity or equity-linked securities.

On March 7, 2007, as consideration for due diligence services in connection with the Purchase Agreement, we paid to the Agent a cash fee of $97,500 and issued to that firm (i) a Note (identical in form to the Notes issued to the other investors) in the principal amount of $97,500, (ii) a Series A Warrant for the purchase of 332,387 shares of our common stock, (iii) Series B Warrants for the purchase of a total of 1,473,581 shares of our common stock, and (iv) a warrant (the “Series C Warrant”) for the purchase at any time on or before March 7, 2011 of 1,141,194 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share.

On March 7, 2007, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, in payment of interest on, or upon conversion of, the Notes, or, at the option of the investors, in satisfaction of certain liquidated damages provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is being filed by us in satisfaction of our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on March 2 and 5, 2007, NN Research entered into Patent Assignment agreements (the “Patent Assignments”) with Technology Innovations, LLC (“TI”), our principal stockholder, pursuant to which TI assigned to NN Research all of its rights, title and interest in certain issued patents and pending patent applications, with respect to which TI had previously granted NN Research licenses. TI also agreed, in a letter to the Agent and the other investors dated March 7, 2007 (the “Lock-Up Letter”), that for a period of two years from the date of the Lock-Up Letter it will not (except as permitted under the Lock-Up Letter in certain limited circumstances) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of our common stock. TI further agreed, in a letter to the Agent and the other investors dated March 7, 2007, that it would not demand repayment by us or NN Research of any obligations for money borrowed except as permitted under Section 7.20 of the Purchase Agreement.

LEGAL MATTERS
 
The validity of the issuance of the common stock offered hereby has been passed upon for us by Nixon Peabody LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.
 
EXPERTS
 
The financial statements appearing in this prospectus have been audited by Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP, Certified Public Accountants, as set forth in their report thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such reports given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
 
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

We have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the Nevada Revised Statutes. The Nevada Revised Statutes permit a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in cases brought against the director or officer in his capacity as such, provided the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. The exceptions include a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing a violation of law, and improper personal benefit. Our Bylaws contain a provision implementing this statute.
 
In addition, our bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on our behalf, to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, if our board of directors authorizes the proceeding for which such person is seeking indemnification (other than proceedings that are brought to enforce the indemnification provisions pursuant to the bylaws). We maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance.

No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers

The indemnification provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, as well as the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant's executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
NaturalNano, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NaturalNano, Inc. and Subsidiary (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency/equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the cumulative amounts from December 22, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2006. These 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NaturalNano, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the cumulative amounts from December 22, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2006 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

NaturalNano, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006
 
1.   PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NaturalNano, Inc. (“NaturalNano”), a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary NaturalNano Research Inc. (“NN Research”) a Delaware corporation. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Description of the Business
 
NaturalNano (the “Company”), located in Pittsford, New York, is a development stage company engaged in the discovery, refinement and commercialization of naturally occurring nanoscale materials. The Company’s current activities are directed toward research, development, production and marketing of its proprietary technologies relating to the treatment and separation of nanotubes from halloysite clay and the development of related commercial applications for:

 
·
material additives for polymers, plastics and composites,
 
 
 
 
·
health and beauty and household products, and

 
·
agrichemical products.
 
NaturalNano is domiciled in the state of Nevada as a result of the merger with Cementitious Materials, Inc., (“CMI”), which was completed on November 29, 2005.

Cash Equivalents
 
Cash equivalents consist of money market securities with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

Liquidity
 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss from operations and negative cash flows from operations. Since inception (December 22, 2004), the Company’s growth was funded through a combination of convertible debt from private investors and cash advances from Technology Innovations, LLC. Management has taken notable actions to ensure that the Company will continue as a going-concern through December 31, 2007, including the completion of a private placement of $3,347,500 of 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes on March 7, 2007 which, net of fees of $215,000, provided working capital proceeds of $3,132,500. Management believes this funding vehicle will enable the Company to continue as a viable business through 2007. See Note 11 “Subsequent Event” for disclosures relating to the terms of the March 7, 2007 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes and related Warrants issued to Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV, Longview Special Financing, Inc. and Platinum Advisors LLC.

The Company will continually evaluate funding options including additional offerings of its securities to private and institutional investors and other credit facilities as they become available. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing alternatives might be available.

Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed in the period the expenditures are incurred. Capital assets acquired in support of research and development are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life and related depreciation expense is included in research and development expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006
 
Intangible Assets
 
Licenses are initially measured and recorded based on their fair market value at the date of their acquisition. The Company evaluates the recoverability of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in market value of the asset or a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used. The evaluation of potential asset impairment requires significant judgments about future cash flows over the life of the asset under evaluation and actual future results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment, at cost, consists of the following:

$
34,752
     
 
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Costs of internally developed intellectual property rights with indeterminate lives are expensed as incurred.

Deferred Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply when the differences are expected to be realized. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is anticipated that some or all of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.

Loss Per Share
 
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share gives effect to dilutive options and warrants outstanding during the period. Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the outstanding options and warrants are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. There were 19,934,000 shares underlying outstanding options and warrants which have been excluded from the calculation at December 31, 2006.

Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates by management. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Stock Options
 
The Company has a stock option plan which provides for the granting of up to 14,000,000 nonqualified or incentive stock options to officers, key employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms and vesting schedules for share-based awards vary by type of grant and the employment status of the grantee. Generally, option awards vest based upon time-based conditions and are granted at exercise prices based on the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the stock option expensing rules of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” using the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for stock options already granted. The Company utilized the modified prospective approach of adoption under SFAS No. 123R which resulted in the recognition of $2,035,912 of employee compensation cost and $935,047 in consultant related option costs for the year ended December 31, 2006. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

The Company previously accounted for its employee stock option plan under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in the statement of operations in reporting periods prior to the first quarter of 2006, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under FAS 123, the Company’s net loss and per share results would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The fair value of each stock option grant has been determined using the Black-Scholes model. The Black-Scholes method was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Such option valuation methods require various subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics different from those of traded options and because changes in the assumptions can materially affect their fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options. No income tax benefits were recognized due to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward position. The Company’s Board of Directors estimated the fair market value of stock option grants made during the first quarter of 2005 at $0.05 per share.

Stock Split
 
On January 27, 2006, the Company pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors acting under Section 78.207 of the Nevada General Corporation law filed a Certificate of Change to its Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 100 million shares to 200 million shares. This correspondingly increased the number of issued and outstanding shares of its common shares held by each stockholder of record as of February 8, 2006, the effective date of the Certificate of Change. The $0.001 par value was not changed as a result of this action. In conjunction with this resolution, the board authorized a two-for-one stock split of common stock effected in the form of a stock dividend to holders of record on February 8, 2006. Accordingly, all references to numbers of shares and to per share information in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
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”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting standards that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Companies will be required to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 108"). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of determining whether the current year's financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 is effective as of the end of the Company's 2006 fiscal year, allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2006, for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB No. 108. The Company does not believe that SAB No. 108 had a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

In December 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2. This FSP addresses an issuer's accounting for registration payment arrangements and specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB No. 5. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statements 133 and 150 and FASB Interpretation No. 45 to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements. This FSP further clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt this EITF in the first quarter of 2007 in connection with the issuance of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes and related warrants. See Note 11, “Subsequent Event.”

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

For comparability, certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2006. 


2.   RELATED PARTY RESEARCH AGREEMENT

On May 25, 2005, the Company entered into a joint research agreement with Nanolution, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Biophan Technologies, Inc. (“BTI”). BTI is related to the Company’s principal stockholder, Technology Innovations, LLC, through common ownership. This agreement covers the exchange of ideas in support of a new drug delivery capability. The term of this agreement shall continue until the desired technology becomes commercially viable or until mutually terminated by both parties. All medical uses and inventions that arise as a result of this agreement will be owned by Nanolution, LLC and all purification processes for raw halloysite and non-medical applications will be owned by the Company.

3.   AGREEMENTS WITH TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS, LLC

Technology Innovations, LLC (“TI”) is our principal stockholder with an equity ownership of 49% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2006. TI is a New York limited liability corporation established in 1999 to develop intellectual property assets. The Chairman of our Board of Directors is the managing member of TI and has a 42.74% ownership of TI. TI founded NaturalNano, Inc., a Delaware corporation on December 22, 2004, with an initial cash contribution of $100,000 for all the outstanding shares of common stock.

On July 1, 2005, the Company granted 1 million stock options to TI with an exercise price of $0.05 per share. This exercise price reflects the estimated fair market value of these options on the date of grant as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. This option grant has a ten-year term and as such expires on July 1, 2015. Under the vesting schedule, the options vest one-half on the date of grant and the balance on the first anniversary of the grant.

On March 2, 2007, Technology Innovations assigned all rights, title, interests in, and improvements to, the applications of various issued patents and pending applications to NaturalNano. This assignment relinquishes TI’s rights, under the April 27, 2005 license agreement, and results in the Company’s receipt of the marketable title to the patents, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances and eliminates future license fees and royalty payments as defined in the license. The April 27, 2005 exclusive, field of use limited license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Technology Innovations, LLC granted the Company an exclusive world-wide license to make, use and sell the products developed under these patents. The License Agreement covered several patent applications and provisional patents owned by Technology Innovations LLC that will expire at various future dates.

On June 28, 2006, we entered into a Line of Credit agreement with TI pursuant to which TI committed to make advances in an aggregate amount of $1 million. Under the Line of Credit Agreement, advances were allowed in such amounts and at such times upon 15 days, notice except that no more than $300,000 could be advanced in any 30-day period. Amounts borrowed bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The Agreement contains conventional terms, including provisions relating to events of default. Amounts borrowed under this agreement are to be used for general working capital needs. As of December 31, 2006 and February 14, 2007, $600,000 and $900,000, respectively, had been advanced under the Line of Credit Agreement. The TI line of credit was established on terms we believed to be competitive with comparable transactions involving unaffiliated parties and was approved by the independent members of our Board of Directors. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of the debt approximates the carrying amount. The repayment obligation under the Line of Credit Agreement and the Note were originally scheduled to expire on March 31, 2007, at which time TI would be able to demand repayment upon 15 days notice. In connection with the March 7, 2007 issuance of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”), TI agreed not to demand repayment as long as any amounts were outstanding on the Notes. See Note 11, “Subsequent Event” for additional description of the terms and conditions of the issuance of these Notes.

On December 29, 2004 the Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement and a Promissory Note with TI that allowed for borrowings of up to $500,000 for working capital purposes and included an interest rate of 8% per annum. This agreement expired and all outstanding advances were repaid as of December 31, 2005.

During the first quarter of 2005, TI paid $10,400 in fees for licensing and business strategy consultations, to a firm owned by the Company’s former president. During fiscal 2005, the Company’s former President and former Chief Technology Officer provided technical consultations to an affiliate, Biophan Technologies, Inc. (“Biophan”). Biophan is an entity related to TI through common ownership. In connection with these consulting services, Biophan reimbursed the Company $16,500 and $5,077 for these services respectively which represented the cost of the salary and benefits for the proportionate time spent consulting.

 4.   AMBIT LICENSE AGREEMENT

On December 31, 2005, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement for the rights to a patented technology in the field of electronics shielding. On November 13, 2006, the parties signed an amended and restated non-exclusive license agreement, effective October 1, 2006, modifying the terms of the original agreement. The amended license agreement calls for 20% royalty payments upon our sale of licensed products utilizing the technology or in instances of sublicense agreements and eliminates the original requirement calling for minimum royalty payments. The amended agreement includes annual reporting of progress made on product development and various confidentiality elements. This agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration date of the last-to-expire related patent that is cited in the agreement, which is currently projected to be in fiscal year 2014.

In consideration for the rights granted to NaturalNano under the original agreement, the Company paid $100,000 in cash and issued 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.45 per share. In connection with the amendment, the purchase price was modified and as a result the 200,000 shares issued to Ambit under the original agreement were returned to the Company.

The license was recorded as a non-current asset and is amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of nine years ending in fiscal year 2014. Amortization expense of $40,788 was recognized for this license agreement in 2006 and will be $33,152 annually for each year beginning in 2007 through 2014. Future royalty payments resulting from this agreement will be expensed as incurred.

 5.   TRANSACTIONS WITH ATLAS MINING COMPANY

On December 29, 2004, the Company contracted with Atlas Mining Company (OTC BB: ALMI) in Utah for the purchase of 500 tons of processed halloysite nanotubes. The Company paid $250,000 to a designated distributor of Atlas Mining with an additional $100,000 payable when commercial shipments in excess of $250,000 are achieved. As additional consideration, NaturalNano will pay 10% of the resale cash proceeds received from unaffiliated third parties in instances where the purchase price is in excess of $700 per ton up to a maximum of $2,000 per ton.

The Company estimates that approximately 30 tons of processed halloysite will be utilized under this supply agreement in the next twelve months. The remaining tonnage available under this agreement is expected to be used by the Company for customer order fulfillment and in research during periods beyond 2007. Accordingly, the balance sheet at December 31, 2006 presents $15,000 of this prepaid contract as a current asset and the balance as a non-current asset to reflect this material sourcing. Research and development expenses are recognized in the period the nanotubules are used in the development of proprietary applications and processes and cost of goods sold will be charged as customer shipments are made.

NaturalNano has identified various sources of halloysite that are considered suitable as alternate suppliers of this raw material, and as such, is not solely dependent upon Atlas Mining Company for delivery of halloysite materials.
 
On January 28, 2005, NaturalNano was issued a two-year warrant for the right to acquire 750,000 shares of Atlas Mining common stock at $.40 per share. The Company accounted for this warrant as a free-standing derivative and, accordingly, had recorded the warrant as an asset, at its fair market value and recognized Other income of $180,000 upon receipt. On August 9, 2006, the Company entered into a Warrant Purchase Agreement with a third party to sell the Atlas Mining warrant for $562,500 less fees of $56,250. The Company received the net proceeds of $506,250 as a result of this agreement on August 22, 2006.

The fair value of the Atlas Mining warrant was measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model on January 28, 2005 and December 31, 2005 and was estimated at $180,000 and $270,000, respectively. The Black-Scholes assumptions used in estimating fair market value of the warrant at each of these dates are as follows:

In connection with the merger, TI, the Company’s principal stockholder, exchanged each of its outstanding shares for 4.492 shares of Cementitious stock for an aggregate of 89,838,756 shares. Each of the Company’s previously outstanding options and warrants were cancelled and replaced with the same number of options and warrants of Cementitious with rights to acquire common stock at economic and contractual terms consistent with the rights as defined in the original NaturalNano option and warrant agreements. The original options were not modified to accelerate vesting or extend the term of the new options.

Convertible Bridge Notes
 
As a result of the merger on November 29, 2005, $4,156,000 of Convertible Bridge Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) were converted into 20,939,200 shares of the Company’s common stock. These bridge notes included a mandatory conversion feature whereby $800,000 in debt was converted into 4,159,200 common shares and $3,356,000 in debt was converted into 16,780,000 shares of common stock in connection with the Cementitious Materials, Inc. merger which was completed on November 29, 2005. The Bridge Notes included an accrued interest provision of 8% per annum, generally beginning six months after the date of issuance. No interest was accrued or paid on these notes since all of this outstanding debt was satisfied with the conversion into common stock coincident with the merger.

These bridge notes were converted using a per share conversion price of $0.20 which was the estimated fair market value of the common stock on the date this debt was issued, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The closing market price per common share on November 29, 2005 was $0.625.

Common Stock Issuances
 
On February 1 and 9, 2006 we issued an aggregate of 314,700 shares of our common stock to three entities in settlement of liabilities accrued for services and assets received by the Company during 2005. On February 1 and 9, 2006 we issued: (i) 40,000 shares to High Technology of Rochester, Inc., our previous landlord, in consideration for certain leasehold improvements and rent concessions to our office facilities, (ii) 74,700 shares to Medienimpuls GmbH as payment for consulting services, and (iii) 200,000 shares to Ambit Corporation in connection with the license of certain patented technology in the field of electronic shielding. The 200,000 shares to Ambit Corporation were returned to the Company during the fourth quarter of 2006 in connection with the November 13, 2006 amended license agreement. The value of the common stock issued and received in connection with these transactions has been valued based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of these issuances and receipts.

Warrant Grants
 
As of December 31, 2006, there were common stock warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate 9,470,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the warrant grants described below.

On December 27, 2006, the Company granted 200,000 warrants to PR Financial Marketing, LLC (“PRM”) with an exercise price of $0.28 per share in connection with a consulting services agreement. This warrant was fully vested on the date of grant and expires on December 27, 2008. The value of the services received in connection with this agreement, have been measured utilizing the Black-Scholes model as of the date of the warrant grant. The assumptions used in this valuation included: (i) risk-free interest rate of 4.7%, (ii) weighted average expected term of two years; (iii) weighted average expected stock volatility 109% and (iv) expected dividends of zero. This valuation resulted in a fourth quarter 2006 charge of $32,460 included in the Statement of Operations.

On July 9, 2006, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 4,770,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.75 to $1.30 per share (with a weighted average exercise price of $1.01 per share) to SBI Brightline XIII, LLC. This warrant was fully vested on the date of grant and may not be exercised if and to the extent that, immediately following such exercise the holder thereof would beneficially own 5% or more of the Company’s common stock. The warrant may be exercised in cash or by cashless exercise in lieu of cash. The warrant expires on March 30, 2009 and has been valued, using the Black-Scholes model, as of the date of grant. The assumptions used in this valuation included: (i) risk-free interest rate of 5.1%, (ii) weighted average expected term of 2.7 years, (iii) weighted average expected stock volatility 90% and (iv) expected dividends of zero. This valuation resulted in a third quarter 2006 charge of $3,006,786 included in the caption “Financing fees” in the accompanying Statement of Operations. None of these warrants had been exercised as of December 31, 2006. Neither these warrants nor the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company received $225,000 in financial consulting services from SBI USA, LLC for which payment was satisfied through the issuance of 4,500,000 common stock warrants. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.115 per share, were fully vested as of the March 31, 2005 issuance date and had an original expiration date of March 31, 2006. On December 19, 2005, the Board of Directors extended the expiration date of this instrument to March 31, 2007. As a result, the Company recorded $48,442 as an incremental cost for these services reflecting the estimated fair market value associated with the term extension, as calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The assumptions used in this valuation were as follows: (i) risk-free interest rate of 4.49%, (ii) expiration date of the warrant of March 31, 2007, (iii) expected volatility of 113.2%, and (iv) expected dividends of zero. The consulting expenses relating to these warrants were provided during the first quarter of 2005 and were included in Financing fees in the accompanying Statements of Operations. None of these warrants had been exercised as of December 31, 2006. Neither these warrants nor the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
 8.   INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

Under the NaturalNano 2005 Incentive Stock Plan, officers, employees, directors and consultants may be granted options to purchase the Company’s common stock at fair market value as of the date of grant.

The fair value of stock options granted to consultants (including the options granted to Technology Innovations, LLC) has been recorded as an expense of $935,047 for the year ended December 31, 2006, and reflects changes in fair market value since the prior reporting period, calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The Black-Scholes model utilizes the undiscounted quoted market price of the Company’s common stock and considers assumptions related to exercise price, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected term of the stock option grants. Expected volatility assumptions utilized in the model were based on volatility of the Company’s stock price, the risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. treasury yield and the Company used a weighted average expected term.

As of December 31, 2006, unvested compensation cost for stock options previously issued to employees was approximately $853,000 and will be recognized in future years through 2009. The unvested cost of stock options previously issued to consultants was approximately $181,000 as of December 31, 2006 and will be revalued quarterly and charged to operations as the vesting occurs, during the periods through 2008, which is when the required performance by the consultants is complete.

In addition to options granted under the NaturalNano, Inc. 2005 Incentive Stock Plan, the Company has made certain option grants, for an aggregate of 90,000 common stock options, outside of this plan. These grants include vesting criteria commencing from the grant date, an exercise price of $0.10 per share and expiration dates varying from five to ten years from the date of grant. The cost of the fair value of these stock options has been determined utilizing the Black-Scholes model as described above.
 
9.   COMMITMENTS AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS

On August 12, 2005 we entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with the United States Department of the Navy, as represented by the Naval Research Laboratory (“NRL”) for non-exclusive rights and a license to patented technologies in the fields of halloysite clay and nanotubules. The license had an original term of six months during which time the parties would actively negotiate a partially exclusive license within specific fields of use. The agreement allows for the extension of the original term from the effective date for the purpose of completing license negotiations. The license is not transferable or assignable and does not allow sub-licenses. The NRL and the Company are engaged in negotiations in connection with the completion of a partially exclusive license and anticipate the completion of such an agreement in 2007. The current agreement includes a non-refundable license issue fee of $10,000, paid at signing, and annual minimum license fees of $5,000 in each of the calendar years 2006 and 2007, and $10,000 for calendar year 2008 and each year thereafter throughout the period of the license. The annual license fees are not refundable and shall be credited toward any payment of royalties earned during the calendar year following such payment.

The Company leases office and laboratory space as well as certain research and development equipment under the terms of various operating leases. Certain of the equipment leases contain purchase options at prices representing the fair market value of the related equipment at the expiration of the term of the lease.

On February 1, 2006, the Company entered into a two year lease agreement that included a one year renewal option that expires on January 31, 2009. This space, representing approximately 3,000 square feet of laboratory space, has been used in establishing our research facility and is located in Rochester, New York. The annual rent for each of the initial two years of the agreement is $46,187 and increases to $47,687, if the final year option is exercised. The Company is also responsible for a pro rata allocation of the operating costs of this facility, to be assessed annually by the landlord. The Company utilizes approximately 4% of the total facility.

On September 19, 2006, the Company entered into a lease agreement covering approximately 2,250 square feet for office space. This lease expires on April 30, 2022 subject to our right to terminate at any time after March 1, 2009 upon 90 days notice. For lease years commencing March 1, 2007 and 2008, we will pay an annual base rent of $44,000. For each year commencing on March 1, 2009 and continuing through April 30, 2011, the base rent will increase by 5% over the previous year’s rent. For each year beginning March 1, 2009 and continuing through April 30, 2017, the base rent will increase by 3% over the previous year’s rent. The landlord is responsible for all real property taxes for the first 38 months of the term; thereafter, the landlord will absorb the first 3% of any increases and half of the remaining 97% will be reimbursed by the Company based on our proportionate share (17%) of the building usage. In addition to being responsible for utilities within our leased space, we have agreed to pay our proportionate share of utility charges for common areas within the building. This facility lease provides for scheduled increases in base rent and as such, rent expense will be charged ratably over the term of the lease resulting in deferred rent payable, which will represent cumulative rent expense charged to operations from inception of the lease in excess of required lease payments.

On May 13, 2005, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for office space expiring May 31, 2008. The lease allowed for the termination at any time after May 31, 2006 upon ninety days prior written notice to the landlord. In accordance with this provision, the Company provided notice to the landlord terminated this agreement during the first quarter of 2007 coincident with the relocation of our primary business operations, described above.

Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $79,728 and $ 31,970 respectively.

10.   STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH SBI

On July 9, 2006 we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with SBI Brightline XIII, LLC (“SBI”), pursuant to which SBI agreed to purchase up to 15,321,154 shares of our Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15,500,000. The shares are to be sold in eighteen (18) tranches at increasing per share purchase prices ranging from $0.75 to $1.30, for a weighted average price of $1.01 per share. Except for the requirement to sell the tranches in order and the requirement that the resale of the shares be covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, there is no limitation on when we require SBI to purchase the shares. We are not obligated to sell any shares to SBI unless and until we make an election to do so. SBI is not obligated to purchase shares, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, unless the resale of the shares have been registered under the Securities Act. On July 11, 2006, we filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 covering the shares issuable to SBI under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The registration had not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission when, on March 1, 2007 the Company formally withdrew the registration statement due to management’s continuing concern as to the viability of this financing agreement. No securities have been sold to SBI in connection with this Purchase Agreement.

11.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes and related Warrants

On March 7, 2007, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for $3,347,500 with Platinum Partners Long Term Growth IV (“Platinum”), Longview Special Financing, Inc. (“Longview”) and Platinum Advisors LLC (the “Agent”), for its own account and as agent for the other investors.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued $3,250,000 face amount of 8% Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to Platinum and Longview. The holders of the Notes may elect to convert the Notes at any time into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.22 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Notes contain anti-dilution protection that will automatically adjust the Conversion Price should we issue equity or equity-linked securities at a price per common share below the Conversion Price to the price at which we issue such equity or equity-linked securities. Interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Notes is payable quarterly at rate of 8% per annum, payable at our option in cash or in shares of our common stock registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). If we elect to make an interest payment in common stock, the number of shares issuable by us will be based upon 85% of the 20-day trailing volume weighted average price per share as reported on Bloomberg LP (the “VWAP”). Principal on the Notes is due and payable on March 7, 2009. If the closing price of our common stock on the principal market or exchange on which our stock is traded (currently, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board) is at least $1.00 for twenty consecutive trading days, we can compel conversion of the Notes at the Conversion Price.

Our obligations under the Notes are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of our assets and substantially all of the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, NaturalNano Research, Inc. (“NN Research”). In connection with the grant of these security interests, on March 7, 2007, we entered into a Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which we granted to the investors and the Agent a security interest in all of the outstanding shares of the common stock of NN Research. In connection with the grant of these security interests, on March 7, 2007, NN Research entered into the Patent Security Agreement (the “Patent Security Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which NN Research granted to the investors and the Agent a security interest in all of NN Research’s patent interests.

As further consideration, on March 7, 2007 we issued to Platinum and Longview two series of warrants, for the purchase at any time on or before March 7, 2011, of an aggregate of 22,159,092 shares of our common stock. The first series of warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) covers the purchase of an aggregate of 11,079,546 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share. The second series of warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) covers the purchase of an additional aggregate of 11,079,546 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. If the closing price of our common stock on the principal market or exchange on which our stock is traded (currently the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board) is at least $0.75 for twenty consecutive trading days, we can compel exercise of the Series A Warrants. Each series of Warrants contain anti-dilution protection that will automatically adjust the exercise price of such series of Warrants should we issue equity or equity-linked securities at a price per common share below the exercise price of such series to the price at which we issue such equity or equity-linked securities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006
 
On March 7, 2007, as consideration for due diligence services in connection with the Purchase Agreement, we paid to the Agent a cash fee of $97,500 and issued to that firm (i) a Note (identical in form to the Notes issued to the other investors) in the principal amount of $97,500, (ii) Series A warrants for the purchase of 332,387 shares of our common stock at $0.22 per share, (iii) Series B Warrants for the purchase of a total of 1,473,581 shares of our common stock at $0.33 per share, and (iv) a warrant (the “Series C Warrant”) for the purchase at any time on or before March 7, 2011 of 1,141,194 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share.

On March 7, 2007, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Agent and the other investors, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, in payment of interest on, or upon conversion of, the Notes, or, at the option of the investors, in satisfaction of certain liquidated damages provisions in the Registration Rights Agreement.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on March 2 and 5, 2007, NN Research entered into Patent Assignment agreements (the “Patent Assignments”) with Technology Innovations, LLC (“TI”), our principal stockholder, pursuant to which TI assigned to NN Research all of its rights, title and interest in certain issued patents and pending patent applications, with respect to which TI had previously granted NN Research licenses. TI also agreed, in a letter to the Agent and the other investors dated March 7, 2007 (the “Lock-Up Letter”), that for a period of two years from the date of the Lock-Up Letter it will not (except as permitted under the Lock-Up Letter in certain limited circumstances) sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of our common stock. TI further agreed, in a letter to the Agent and the other investors dated March 7, 2007 (the “Standstill Letter”), that it would not demand repayment by us or NN Research of any obligations for money borrowed except as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

Prospectus
 
_________, 2007
 
Until                     , 2007 (25 days after the commencement of this offering), all dealers that buy, sell or trade the common stock may be required to deliver a prospectus, regardless of whether they are participating in this offering. This is in addition to the dealers’ obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.
 


 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
 
Under Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.138, a director or officer is generally not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that:
 
·
his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and
 
·
his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
 
This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. As a consequence of this provision, stockholders of NaturalNano will be unable to recover monetary damages against directors or officers for action taken by them that may constitute negligence or gross negligence in the performance of their duties unless such conduct falls within one of the foregoing exceptions. The provision, however, does not alter the applicable standards governing a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or limit the right of NaturalNano or any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other type of non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of fiduciary duty.
 
As permitted by Nevada law, NaturalNano’s By-Laws include a provision which provides for indemnification of a director or officer by NaturalNano against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of claims against the director or officer arising from the fact that he was a director or officer, provided that the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of NaturalNano. NaturalNano has purchased insurance under a policy that insures both NaturalNano and its officers and directors against exposure and liability normally insured against under such policies, including exposure on the indemnities described above.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 28. Undertakings .
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(1) It will file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
 
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and
 
(iii) Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
 
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
 
(3) It will remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
II-8

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
