PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the common stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section and the financial statements and related notes.


About BlastGard International, Inc.


BlastGard International, Inc. creates, designs, develops, manufactures and markets proprietary blast mitigation materials. Our patent-pending BlastWrap® technology effectively mitigates blast effects and suppresses post-blast fires. This unique technology can be used to create new, finished products or be used to retrofit to existing products. While the need for this technology has always been present, the security and safety concerns resulting from the September 11, 2001 acts and the subsequent development of Homeland Security make the timing of our emergence even more important. Our core market focus is on blast effects mitigation for the commercial sector, military, law enforcement and government agencies. BlastWrap® is based upon well-defined principles and suppresses blast pressures by 50% or more. BlastWrap® products are made from two flexible films arranged one over the other and joined by a plurality of seams filled with attenuating filler material (volcanic glass bead or other suitable two-phase materials), configurable (designed for each application) with an extinguishing coating that offers a revolutionary blast protection system against Blast & Fire/burn threats. BlastWrap® is a blast mitigation assembly that can be wrapped around or conform to any shape. BlastWrap® is a concept (not a chemical compound) from which blast protection products are built to save lives and reduce damage to valuable assets from explosions.


Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “BlastGard” refer to BlastGard International, Inc., a Colorado corporation. Our principal offices are located at 12900 Automobile Blvd., Suite D, Clearwater, Florida 33762. Our telephone number is (727) 592-9400. The address of our website is www.blastgardintl.com.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and documents incorporated by reference contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to our future operations. They estimate the occurrence of future events and are not based on historical facts. Forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as:

believes

intends

projects

forecasts

predicts

may

will

expects

estimates

anticipates

probable

continue

This list is not comprehensive. Similar terms, variations of those terms, and the negative of those terms may also identify forward-looking statements.

The risk factors discussed in this prospectus are cautionary statements. They identify some of the factors that could cause actual results to be significantly different from those predicted in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements were compiled by BlastGard International, Inc. based upon assumptions it considered reasonable. These assumptions are subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, forecasted and actual results will likely vary, and these variations may be material.

There can be no assurance that the statements, estimates, and projections contained in this prospectus will be achieved. Thus, we make no representation or warranty as to their accuracy or completeness. In addition, we cannot guarantee that any forecast in this prospectus will be achieved.

These forward-looking statements were compiled as of the date of this prospectus. We do not intend to update these statements, except as required by law. Therefore, you should evaluate them by considering any changes that may have occurred after the date these forward-looking statements appear.

We cannot guarantee the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Therefore, while these forward-looking statements contain our best good faith estimates as of the date of this prospectus, we urge you and your advisors to review these forward-looking statements, to consider the assumptions upon which they are based, and to ascertain their reasonableness.

 

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves major risks. Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that there are various risks, including those described below. You should carefully consider these risk factors together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock.


Purchase of our stock is a highly speculative and you could lose your entire investment.  We have been operating at a loss since inception, and you cannot assume that our plans and business prospects described herein will either materialize or prove successful.  Accordingly, you may lose all or a substantial part of your investment.  The purchase of our stock must be considered a highly speculative investment.

Table of Contents


We can provide no assurances we will be able to continue as a going concern or raise additional financing in the future. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred recurring losses, and have negative working capital and a net capital deficiency at December 31, 2006.  These factors, among others, may indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basi s and ultimately to attain profitability. While we completed a plan of financing and raised $3,968,810 in April/May 2007, we will likely require additional financing in the future. We can provide no assurances that financing will be available to us on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, or that we will be able to continue as a going concern. See “Notes to our Financial Statements.”


We have total liabilities at September 30, 2007 of $1,261,414, net of unamortized discount of $505,676 and may not be able to meet our obligations as they become due. At September 30, 2007, we have total liabilities of $1,261,414, net of unamortized discount of $505,676, which when added together results in obligations of $1,767,090. Substantially all of this debt was owed to our secured debt holders who have security interests in all our tangible and intangible assets. At November 30, 2007, we currently have secured debt of $1,250,752 convertible into common shares at $.30 per share which we are obligated to pay principal and interest periodically through June 22, 2008. Our debt agreements provide for certain events of default that may trigger acceleration of the principal of our debt and the payment of additional sums of money in the event we are in default. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to meet our debt obligations as they come due. Further, the holder s of our secured debt have certain registration rights with respect to the common stock underlying the debentures and warrants held by them. In the event we do not obtain and maintain an effective registration statement of all their underlying common stock for resale in accordance with certain registration rights agreements, we would become in default under our agreements with certain holders of our secured debt. We can provide no assurances that our efforts to obtain and maintain an effective registration statement with respect to their registrable securities will be successful. See “Notes to our Financial Statements.”


We have incurred substantial losses from inception and we have only recently begun to generate revenues; failure to achieve significant revenues and profitability in the future would cause the market price for our common stock to decline significantly.  We have generated net losses from inception. We have an accumulated retained deficit of $10,047,408 and a shareholders’ equity of $1,088,149 as of September 30, 2007, and we have only recently begun to generate limited revenues.  As we experience anticipated growth and an expansion of our operations, we are likely to experience an increase in operating expenses and costs of doing business.  If we don’t immediately achieve significant revenues and profitability in the near future, the market price for our common stock could decline significantly.


If we are unable to compete effectively with our competitors, we will not be successful generating revenues or attaining profits. The blast mitigation industry is highly competitive. Our ability to generate revenues and profitability is directly related to our ability to compete with our competitors. Currently, we believe that we have a competitive advantage because of our unique technology, our product performance, product mix and price. Our beliefs are based only on our research and development testing and we currently have only four completed and finished products. We face competition in our markets from competing technologies and direct competition from additional companies that may enter this market with greater financial resources than we have.  If we are unable to compete effectively, we will not be successful in generating revenues or attaining profits.


We have not yet hired sales and marketing personnel, which may hinder our ability to generate revenues. Our primary sales focus is to distribute our products through strategic partners, direct sales and through information and education by our executive officers. Through our executive officers, we have entered into agreements with several strategic partners and our officers have been working with them to attempt to generate significant sales, although we can provide no assurances that these efforts will be successful. In the future, we may develop our own sales and marketing department in the event that management believes that such efforts would be meaningful and within our budget requirements. The failure to form a sales and marketing department and hire qualified sales personnel may adversely affect our sales efforts and could cause us not to meet operating projections.

Table of Contents


Loss of key personnel could cause a major disruption in our day-to-day operations and we could lose our relationships with third-parties with whom we do business.  Our future success depends in a significant part upon the continued service of our executive officers as key management personnel.  Competition for such personnel may be intense, and to be successful we must retain our key managerial personnel.  The loss of key personnel or the inability to hire or retain qualified replacement personnel could have cause a major disruption in our day-to-day operations and we could lose our relationships with third-parties with whom we do business, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.


If future market acceptance of our products is poor, we will not be able to generate adequate sales to achieve profitable operations.  Our future is dependent upon the success of the current and future generations of one or more of the products we sell or propose to sell.  Since inception, we have had limited sales of any of our products.  If future market acceptance of our products is poor, we will not be able to generate adequate sales to achieve profitable operations.


Dependence on outside manufacturers and suppliers could disrupt our business if they fail to meet our expectations.  Currently, we rely on outside manufacturers and suppliers for our finished products and intend to rely on outside supplies for our other intended products.  We have entered into preliminary agreements with several outside suppliers and with a contract manufacturer for the manufacture of our products. In the event that any of our suppliers or manufacturers should become too expensive or suffer from quality control problems or financial difficulties, we would have to find alternative sources.


Our products may be subject to technological obsolescence, which would adversely affect our business by increasing our research and development costs and reducing our ability to generate sales.  Considerable research is underway into blast mitigation. Discovery of another new technology could replace or result in lower than anticipated demand for our products and could materially adversely effect our operations.


We may not be able to successfully use or defend our intellectual property rights, which would prevent us from developing an advantage over our competitors.  We rely on a combination of patent applications, trademarks, copyright and trade secret laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect our intellectual property rights, which we believe will give us a competitive advantage over our competitors. However, we have not been granted any patents and we may never be granted any patents if our applications are denied.  Even if a patent is issued, use of our technology may infringe upon patents issued to third-parties, which would subject us to the cost of defending the patent and possibly requiring us to stop using the technology or to license it from a third party.  If a third party infringes on a patent issued to us, we will bear the cost of enforcing the patent. If we are not able to successfully use or defend our intellectual property r ights, we may not be able to develop an advantage over our competitors.


We do not expect to be able to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, so you should not make an investment in our stock if you require dividend income.  The payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future rests within the discretion of its Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements and our financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. We have not paid or declared any cash dividends upon our Common Stock since our inception and by reason of our present financial status and our contemplated future financial requirements does not contemplate or anticipate making any cash distributions upon our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.  


We have a limited market for our common stock which causes the market price to be volatile and to usually decline when there is more selling than buying on any given day.  Our common stock currently trades on the over the counter bulletin board under the symbol “BLGA.”  However, at most times in the past, our common stock has been thinly traded and as a result the market price usually declines when there is more selling than buying on any given day. As a result, the market price has been volatile, and the market price may decline immediately if you decide to place an order to sell your shares.

Table of Contents


The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and several factors that are beyond our control, including our common stock being historically thinly traded, could adversely affect its market price.  Our common stock has been historically thinly traded and the market price has been highly volatile.  For these and other reasons, our stock price is subject to significant volatility and will likely be adversely affected if our revenues or earnings in any quarter fail to meet the investment community’s expectations. Additionally, the market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to:


§

announcements of new products or sales offered by BlastGard® or its competitors;

§

actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

§

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

§

changes in the market’s perception of us or the nature of our business; and

§

sales of our common stock.


Future sales of common stock into the public market place will increase the public float and may adversely affect the market price.  As of November 30, 2007, we have outstanding 39,136,553 shares of common stock 22,534,632, including approximately 27,700,000 outstanding shares held by non-affiliated persons. Of the 27,700,000 outstanding shares, we have registered 14,702,306 restricted securities for resale in the Prospectus. In general, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, a person who has held restricted common stock for one year may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of shares which is not greater than one percent of the then outstanding shares of common stock.  Under certain circumstances, the sale of shares which have been held for two years by a person who is not affiliated with us is also permitted without limitation under Rule 144(k). In November 2007, the SEC approved certain changes which when they be come effective will allow non-affiliated persons to resell their restricted common shares without restriction after a holding period of six months so long as the company is current with all reports under the Exchange Act. The holding period under Rule 144(k) will be reduced from two years to one year. Future sales of common stock or the availability of common stock for sale may have an adverse effect on the market price of our thinly traded common stock, which in turn could adversely affect our ability to obtain future funding as well as create a potential market overhang.  


“Penny Stock” regulations may adversely affect your ability to resell your stock in market transactions. The SEC has adopted penny stock regulations which apply to securities traded over-the-counter.  These regulations generally define penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an equity security of an issuer with net tangible assets of less than $5,000,000 as indicated in audited financial statements, if the corporation has been in continuous operations for less than three years.  Subject to certain limited exceptions, the rules for any transaction involving a penny stock require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that contains certain information describing the nature and level of risk associated with investments in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the register ed representative and current quotations for the securities.  Monthly account statements must be sent by the broker-dealer disclosing the estimated market value of each penny stock held in the account or indicating that the estimated market value cannot be determined because of the unavailability of firm quotes. In addition, the rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000).  These practices require that, prior to the purchase, the broker-dealer determined that transactions in penny stocks were suitable for the purchaser and obtained the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction.  


Our common stock is currently subject to the penny stock regulations.  Compliance with the penny stock regulations by broker-dealers will likely result in price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market for the common stock, and may make it difficult for you to resell your stock in market transactions.  


USE OF PROCEEDS


We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling security holders. Any net proceeds from the exercise of warrants are intended to be used for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


General

BlastGard® International, Inc., a Colorado corporation, operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, BlastGard Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation established in September 2003. BlastGard® International, Inc. acquired BlastGard Technologies, Inc. effective January 31, 2004, in a transaction that was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, which is a capital transaction and not a business combination.

We have developed and designed proprietary blast mitigation materials. Patent-pending BlastWrap® has been designed to mitigate blasts and suppress flash fires resulting from explosions, regardless of the material or compound causing the explosion. We believe that this technology can be used to create new finished products or designed to retrofit existing products. While the need for this technology has always been present, the security and safety concerns resulting from the September 11, 2001 terrorist acts make the timing of BlastGard’s emergence even more important.

Company History

We were incorporated as IDMedical.com, Inc. in June 1999 under the laws of the State of Colorado for the purpose of developing and storing personal medical histories on the Internet. The online medical records business was unsuccessful, and in February 2002, IDMedical.com, Inc. acquired a technology provider, as described below.

In February 2002, IDMedical.com, Inc. acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of ToolTrust Corporation, a Nevada corporation, from the shareholders of ToolTrust, in a share exchange pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated October 19, 2001 (the “Reorganization”). At the time of the Reorganization, ClearDialog Communications, Inc. and LocalToolbox Corporation were wholly-owned subsidiaries of ToolTrust. In May 2002, IDMedical.com, Inc. entered into share exchange agreements with certain former shareholders of ClearDialog and LocalToolbox, who were parties to the Reorganization. Pursuant to the share exchanges, the former shareholders are deemed to have reacquired their shares of ClearDialog and LocalToolbox in exchange for the return of shares of IDMedical.com, Inc. common stock. As a result of the transactions, ToolTrust no longer owned ClearDialog and LocalToolbox. IDMedical.com, Inc. form ed a subsidiary, IDMedical, Inc., as part of the Reorganization for the purpose of attempting to salvage the online medical records business, but was unsuccessful in its efforts to do so. The IDMedical, Inc. subsidiary is no longer in business.

In September 2002, IDMedical.com, Inc. changed its name to Opus Media Group, Inc. During 2002, the ToolTrust Corporation subsidiary was unsuccessful in its efforts to pursue a joint venture music label with recording artist Michael J. Jackson. Due in large part to the perceived negative public scrutiny surrounding Mr. Jackson, the company was unable to raise the necessary funds to launch the music label. The ToolTrust Corporation subsidiary is no longer in business. In September 2003, the name was changed again to Opus Resource Group, Inc.

In February 2003, Opus Resource Group, Inc. entered into an agreement with a separate company called BlastGard, Inc., which was formed in 2000 by The Verde Partners Limited Partnership, C&L Trust, and James F. Gordon (who held a 33% minority interest). The principals of Verde Partners were Steven Stucker and Sam Gettle, and the principal of C&L Trust was Charles D. McPhail. In 2002, John L. Waddell, Jr. and Michael J. Gordon became officers and directors of BlastGard, Inc. As described in more detail below, Messrs. James F. Gordon, Michael J. Gordon and John L. Waddell, Jr. subsequently in 2003 formed BlastGard Technologies, Inc., which is now a subsidiary of BlastGard® International, Inc., and these individuals are now officers and directors of BlastGard® International, Inc.

Pursuant to the agreement with BlastGard, Inc., Opus Resource Group issued 66,667 shares (adjusted to reflect stock splits) of restricted stock to BlastGard, Inc. in exchange for the right to distribute and sell BlastGard, Inc. products in China. BlastGard, Inc. held licenses from Verde Partners Limited Partnership to use two patents for a technology intended to mitigate blasts and suppress flash fires resulting from explosions. After the date of the agreement with Opus, BlastGard, Inc.’s license agreement to utilize patents owned by Verde Partners was not renewed because management of BlastGard, Inc. and Verde Partners could not agree on the value of the Verde Partners technology. Opus Resource Group never distributed or sold any BlastGard, Inc. products. As a result, Opus Resource Group and BlastGard, Inc. mutually agreed to rescind their agreement and the 66,667 shares of common stock issued to BlastGard, Inc. were returned to Opus Resource Group and cancelled in January 2004. There has been no continuing relationship with Verde Partners or its principals. A lawsuit involving Verde Partners as Plaintiff and us and certain of our officers as defendants is described under “Legal Proceedings” herein.

In September 2003, James F. Gordon, John L. Waddell, Jr. and Michael J. Gordon formed a new company called BlastGard Technologies, Inc. for the purpose of pursuing a new technology that was created by James F. Gordon and John L. Waddell, Jr. for use in the blast mitigation solutions industry. These individuals chose to use the “BlastGard” name solely because of their personal affinity for the name. BlastGard Technologies is a development stage company that was created to develop, design, manufacture, and market proprietary blast mitigation materials. In September 2003, BlastGard Technologies had granted a license to BlastGard, Inc. to permit BlastGard Inc. to manufacture and sell products utilizing BlastGard Technologies new technology, but BlastGard, Inc. failed to secure adequate funds to perform under the agreement and the agreement was cancelled in December 2003.

BlastGard Technologies is in the blast mitigation solutions industry, as was BlastGard, Inc., but BlastGard, Inc. is not a predecessor to BlastGard Technologies. BlastGard, Inc. attempted to commercialize a 12 year old technology that was different from BlastGard Technologies’ new technology, but BlastGard, Inc. was never successful. BlastGard, Inc. had no material business and no material assets. BlastGard, Inc. ceased all activities in 2003, was formally dissolved in 2004 and is no longer in business. As described below, in January 2004, BlastGard Technologies was acquired by Opus Resource Group and the management of BlastGard Technologies became the management of Opus Resource Group, and in February 2004 Opus Resource Group acquired all of the intellectual property relating to the name “BlastGard” from BlastGard, Inc.

On January 31, 2004, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Opus Resource Group, Inc. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of BlastGard Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation, from BlastGard Technologies’ shareholders, in exchange for an aggregate of 18,200,000 (adjusted to reflect a subsequent stock split) shares of Opus Resource Group common stock. The reorganization was a reverse acquisition which resulted in the former shareholders of BlastGard Technologies (including three of our executive officers, namely, John L. Waddell, Jr., James F. Gordon, and Michael J. Gordon) having a controlling interest in Opus Resource Group, and BlastGard Technologies became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Opus Resource Group. On March 31, 2004, Opus Resource Group changed its name to BlastGard® International, Inc.

In July 2003 Opus Resource Group had loaned $245,000 to BlastGard, Inc. to be used to make license payments to Verde Partners. By February 2004, BlastGard, Inc. had no resources to repay the $245,000 loan. Because Opus Resource Group had just acquired BlastGard Technologies, Inc. and because our new management team had a personal affinity for the name “BlastGard,” Opus Resource Group acquired from BlastGard, Inc. all of the intellectual property relating to the BlastGard name (i.e., the trademark, copyright material, artwork, logo design, and web site domain name), and in exchange Opus Resource Group forgave $45,000 in debt owned to Opus Resource Group by BlastGard, Inc. The $45,000 value was arbitrarily determined by management and agreed upon by BlastGard, Inc. BlastGard, Inc. ceased all activities in 2003, was formally dissolved in 2004 and is no longer in business. We wrote-off the remaining $200,000 as bad debt when BlastGard, Inc . was dissolved.

Since January 31, 2004, we have focused exclusively on the business plan of BlastGard Technologies. BlastGard Technologies’ patent-pending BlastWrap® technology is designed to mitigate blasts and suppress fires resulting from explosions. BlastGard Technologies acquired a patent application for BlastWrap®, in January 2004, from co-inventors John L. Waddell, Jr., our Chief Operating Officer and President, and James F. Gordon, our Chief Executive Officer, who assigned the patent application to BlastGard Technologies in consideration of the consummation of the Reorganization Agreement. For accounting purposes, we assigned no monetary value to the patent application that was assigned to BlastGard Technologies. Our current management team was the management team of BlastGard Technologies prior to the reorganization.


Introduction


An explosion results from the rapid conversion of chemical energy into rapidly expanding high-pressure gases. The rapidly expanding gases compress the surrounding air much like a piston and create a shock wave that travels ahead of the explosive gases. The “overpressure” (pressure above ambient) in a shock wave acts to “pre-condition” the air as it passes through to make the following accelerated gas “piston” more damaging. This high intensity, short duration overpressure wave transfers impulse (momentum) stresses, damages or destroys structures in its path. Impulse follows the shock wave but lingers and decays with time. The negative phase is a partial vacuum that “whips” lighter structures to magnify damage. A shock wave can be likened to an initial hard punch, while the impulse is more like a powerful bulldozer. Any reduction in the effective power of the shock wave will increase the target’s capability to withstand the d estructive impulse.

Blast Solutions

Blast management solutions generally fall into one of two categories: hardening or mitigation. Hardening is a method of blast mitigation by which an object is placed around an explosive material to contain the blast, and is generally accomplished through the use of armor, mass or both. Armor is used primarily for its ballistic properties, with enhanced protection levels achieved by increasing mass (thickness and/or weight). Hardening solutions include steel armor plate, various synthetic fibers such as Kevlar and Spectra and fiber-reinforced composites. Most blast containment systems employ hardening.


Although some energy is absorbed through deformation, hardening systems have the negative effect of reflecting blast, which by the laws of physics actually magnifies blast effect up to eight times. This is because the shock waves reflecting off a solid surface add to the incident waves creating a destructive synergism of much greater gas density, temperature, pressure, and overpressure duration— all contributing to impulse (the “piston”). Reflected energy is a significant problem, particularly in confined spaces. Hardening, which essentially is trying to overmatch or resist a blast, has been widely practiced throughout the years even though it is limited in its capabilities.

Mitigation or attenuation of blast effects is the dissipation of blast energy so that acoustic and shock waves, peak overpressure, reflected peak overpressure, impulse and afterburn (the rapid burning of combustible materials in the “hot zone”, including soot, occurring so fast that it adds to blast effect from the original explosive) are reduced. This reduction is accomplished through both physical and chemical processes that are triggered when a blast occurs. The remaining energy is transmitted at a slower, more sustainable level. The amount of reflected energy is significantly reduced with mitigation. Unlike hardening systems, the performance of our products is not related directly to material thickness and therefore we believe our products have a greater range of uses producing the same or better effectiveness against blast effects.

 BlastWrap® Background

BlastWrap® is a concept for assemblies (not a chemical compound) from which blast protection products are built to save lives and reduce damage to valuable assets from explosions. BlastWrap® is designed to not only substantially reduce blast impulse and pressure (including reflected pressure and impulse), but quenches fireballs and suppresses post-blast fires. Lethal fragments may be captured by adding anti-ballistic armor layers on the product surface away from a blast.

Table of Contents


Our BlastGard® technology is designed to mitigate blast and rapid combustion phenomena through numerous mechanisms. The relative contribution of each mechanism depends upon the intensity and nature of the impinging hazard. Shock wave attenuation, for example, is dominant in mitigating mechanical explosions. Our products attempt to emulate unconfined conditions and accelerate attenuating processes that occur in free air. Thus BlastWrap® does not try to resist blasts (which physically intensify blast phenomena); it mitigates them. BlastWrap® can be used as part of confining assemblies (containers and blast walls). In effect, BlastWrap® is a ‘virtual vent’.

BlastWrap® Technology Components

Our BlastWrap™ products are made from two flexible films arranged one over the other and joined by a plurality of seams filled with attenuating filler material (volcanic glass bead or other suitable two-phase materials), configurable (designed for each application) with an extinguishing coating. Together, this combination of materials is designed to mitigate a blast while at the same time eliminate fireballs or flame fronts produced by the blast.

We believe that this system is unique because it:

1. Works 24 hours a day

2. Quenches fireballs and post blast fires

3. Reduces blast impulse and pressure

4. Does not dispense chemical extinguishants

5. Uses neither alarms, sensors, nor an activation system

6. Is nontoxic and ecologically friendly

Our BlastGard® Technology extracts heat, decelerates both blast wind and shock waves, and quenches the hot gases in all blasts and fireballs. BlastWrap® does not interact with the explosive elements, and is therefore not altered by them. However, after a single intense detonation, BlastWrap® must be replaced.

For blasts that produce fireballs or intense hot gases at higher pressures, BlastGard® Technology has the ability, through testing, to cool the blast zone rapidly, thereby reducing structural damage.

In detonation of high explosives, where at least half of the energy released is in the shock wave, attenuation occurs even more rapidly, and in doing so substantially reduces explosion phenomena.

Environmentally friendly, non-toxic core materials

Key BlastWrap® Benefits

BlastWrap® is light in weight. It can be used to protect against outdoor explosions. Because of the Montreal protocols banning production of Halon extinguishing agents, BlastWrap® technology offers a light weight and environmentally acceptable blast suppression means available for most applications; and, it can even be adapted to function underwater.

BlastWrap® products are inherent sound absorbers and thermal insulators, and are typically fire-tolerant. Any or all of these qualities are readily enhanced by bonding to common materials, thereby further extending the wide range of applications which BlastWrap® can fulfill through a single product.

The performance of BlastWrap® proprietary technology is independent of scenario and environment, which means that it does not matter where the physical location is, how the basic product form is used or the environment in which the event takes place. The basic product form can be used as a stand-alone material (as linings, curtain barriers, or as structural material), or can be laminated or otherwise affixed to a wide range of product forms such as insulation (thermal and acoustic), ballistic armor such as KEVLAR™ (a DuPont trademark), decorative stone, or packaging materials. BlastWrap® products can thus provide blast and fire protection in flooring, wall, and roof constructions, in packaging, in storage cabinets and other containment structures, and aboard all types of vehicles, ships, and aircraft.


Intellectual Property Rights

Explosive devices are increasingly being used in asymmetric warfare to cause destruction to property and loss of life. These explosive devices sometimes can be disrupted, but often there is insufficient warning of an attack. Our BlastWrap® products were created around this core concept. The BlastWrap® patent application was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on July 31, 2003. The BlastWrap® patent application was filed with Argentina on March 12, 2004; with Kuwait on July 28, 2004, and with the European market, China, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Indonesia, Korea, India, Australia, Israel, and Canada on February 27, 2004 and we also filed an application for this technology under the Patent Cooperation Treaty on February 27, 2004. Under this treaty, we expect to have patent protection in most industrialized countries when the patent is issued in each indiv idual country. A substantial number of countries have been added to the list of the treaty members, including almost all of the former Soviet republics and China; thus the new claims will be protected in more than 40 countries. A second patent application for “Blast mitigating container assemblies” was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on April 29, 2004 and a new U.S. Continuation-In-Part patent application for “Blast mitigating container assemblies” on January 26, 2005. We also filed an application for this “Blast mitigating container assemblies” technology under the Patent Cooperation Treaty on January 26, 2006.

BlastWrap® Testing

BlastWrap® prototypes have been evaluated in different test series, which have ranged from semi-quantitative screenings to third-party instrumented trials. We have consistently observed blast effect reductions of at least 50% in virtually every activity in which BlastWrap® has been involved. These tests have indicated that impulse (momentum transfer) and peak pressure are reduced by nearly 50%. Impulse is the most destructive explosive-related hazard for structures and vehicles. We have also conducted further development design and testing of a series of products for blast mitigation protection of rapid deployment barriers, walls, revetments and bunkers (including overhead protection from inbound mortars) for the United States military.

Significance of Test Results


No BlastWrap® tests have been in small-scale. Every test series has involved standard products or test facilities simulating service conditions—munitions containers, air cargo containers, steel vessels comparable in size to commercial aircraft fuel tanks and large secondary storage units, and vehicles, all with charge weights reflecting actual hazards. Management believes that the test results provide evidence that BlastWrap® can protect vehicles, structures, and ships against very intense blasts. Tests have also shown that certain design features (such as deflectors), combined with additional BlastWrap® material, can accomplish protection against larger blasts.

Government Awards


As a result of tests to date, our patent-pending blast-mitigating technology, BlastWrap®, and its BlastGard® Mitigating Trash Receptacles were designated as Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies and placed on the “Approved Products List for Homeland Security.” We were issued the “Designation” and “Certification” for our technology by the Department of Homeland Security under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (the SAFETY ACT) in July of 2006.


The SAFETY ACT “Designation” and “Certification” are intended to support effective technologies aimed at preventing, detecting, identifying, or deterring acts of terrorism, or limiting the harm that such acts might otherwise cause. The criteria technologies must meet to be awarded “Designation” and “Certification” status include: the availability of the technology for immediate deployment in public and private settings; the magnitude of risk exposure to the public if the technology is not deployed; the evaluation of scientific studies being feasibly conducted to assess the technology’s capability to substantially reduce risks of harm; and the technology’s effectiveness in facilitating the defense against acts of terrorism. BlastWrap is designed to mitigate the blast effects of an explosion by rapidly extinguishing the fireball, eliminating burns and post-blast fires, and reducing the subsequent overpressures by more than 50%, thus reducing damage to people and property.


The SAFETY ACT legislation was designed to encourage the development and rapid deployment of life-saving antiterrorism technologies by providing manufacturers or sellers with limited risk to legal liability. It was also designed to harness the nation’s scientific and technological resources to provide federal, state, and local officials with the technology and capabilities to protect the United States from terrorist acts. One area of focus for the Department of Homeland Security is catastrophic terrorist threats to the nation’s security that could result in large-scale loss of life and major economic impact. The SAFETY ACT fosters research of technologies to counter threats both by evolutionary improvements to current capabilities and development of revolutionary, new capabilities.


GSA Approved Product


General Services Administration enters into contracts with commercial firms to provide supplies and services at stated prices. This streamlined procurement vehicle is available to federal agencies and other organizations to obtain engineering and environmental services from pre-qualified vendors. GSA has completed federally mandated contracting requirements—competition, pricing, small business and other contracting evaluations—normally required prior to obtaining services. Some of BlastGard’s finished products are in the GSA System.


Applications


Our BlastGard® Technology works indoors or out, vented or un-vented, wet or dry, clean or dirty, damaged or intact, and against strong or weak blasts from solid explosives or flammable fluids. It is a lightweight, space-efficient custom-engineered technology that can be produced with additional layers for insulation, fragment/ballistic protection, environmental protection or impact and cushioning barriers. Significantly, no new or high-cost fabrication technologies or materials are required to produce BlastWrap®. In addition, because of the Montreal protocol’s ban of Halon extinguishing agents, we believe that our BlastGard® Technology is the only blast and fire suppression means available for most applications, including adaptation for underwater use. It is an inherently effective sound absorber and thermal insulator.

Various Product Lines Identified For BlastWrap®- We have Several Completed and Finished Products

We are currently manufacturing our core product, BlastWrap®, for research and development testing by non-affiliated third-parties. The primary application for BlastWrap® is as an intermediate good for different applications and uses.

Our technology can be customized to fit the need of an industry or a specific customer. We have examined the various markets susceptible to explosions, and have developed finished products to market to businesses and agencies at risk. While designing finished products engineered with BlastWrap®, we have taken into account that some products must be portable, while others will remain at a fixed location. Some products have been designed to contain identified explosive agents, while others are designed to mitigate unidentified explosive threats.

All products can be designed to conform to the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm’s requirements for explosive materials. These requirements outline the design parameters for any container based upon the explosive material to be housed, as follows:

Type 1: Boxes for permanent storage of high, low explosives and blasting agents.

Type 2: Boxes for portable storage of high, low explosives and blasting agents.

Type 3: Boxes for temporary storage of high, low explosives and blasting agents.

Type 4: Boxes for only low explosives, blasting agents and electric blasting caps.

Type 5: Boxes for only electric blasting caps.

 With these standards in mind, we have developed the following product lines to address the needs of customers and targeted markets:

Mitigated Bomb Receptacle

Explosive Storage Unit (ESU)

BlastMags of type dependant upon customer requirements

•      Blast Mitigated Unit Load Device (“BMULD”) – LD3 Container

Lining – Aircraft

Insensitive Munitions (IM) Weapons Container

Mitigated Trash Receptacle

Blast and Thermal Suppression (“BATS”) system products for vehicle improvised explosive device (IED), land mine protection and over-head protection from mortar and rocket attack for temporary accommodation units.

MBR 300

The BlastGard Mitigated-Bomb Receptacle (MBR 300) is intended to provide airport security personnel with an effective tool, if and when an explosive is discovered. The MBR 300 will dramatically contain and protect against all lethal threats posed by the detonation of an improvised explosive device (IED); namely, primary fragments, secondary fragments, mechanical effects (shock/blast pressure) and thermal effects (contact and radiation burn) from the fireball, afterburn and resultant post-blast fires. If a suspect package or bomb is discovered, the airports can use the MBR 300 as a safe means of securing that package until the bomb squad arrives.

Table of Contents


The United States Transportation Security Administration has worked hard to secure U.S. airports against a range of threats that includes attacks against both aircraft and ground facilities. The largest and most visible investment made by the agency has been in enhancing the passenger screener force and in massively expanding the number of explosive detection systems (EDS) required to examine checked luggage for bombs. Effective security, therefore, includes not only deterrent and preventive measures but all efforts to mitigate casualties, damage, and disruption. Since deterrence and prevention are sometimes difficult to achieve given the nature of terrorism and the inherent vulnerabilities of public transportation, great emphasis is also placed upon the mitigation of casualties through design of facilities and upon effective, rapid response that ensures safety while minimizing disruption. We believe that the MBR 300 is an ideal pre-incident sec urity technology for airport security when dealing with bomb threats and suspicious objects or packages.

Explosive Storage Units

The explosives storage units safely store highly detonable materials in a container, which prevents sympathetic detonation and afterburn. Additional customized uses of this product are foreseen in the research, such as for explosives storage and transport/handling and US Department of Defense contract markets. Future designs will incorporate the best practices of contracts concluded, thus creating a shorter product development timeline for future finished products.

BlastMags

With several of these magazines already in service at several locations, there are numerous applications in similar plants worldwide as well as product variants for many other industries including military, law enforcement, mining, fireworks, research facilities, and munitions manufacturing/handling.

Twin-Aisle (containerized) Aircraft – Blast Mitigated Unit Load Devices (BMULDs)

LD3 Cargo Containers are used primarily on twin aisle/wide body aircraft such as the B747. These luggage or cargo containers are manufactured by a few well-established companies throughout the world. The market is extremely competitive with low margins. In accordance with an agreement with Nordisk Aviation Products, we have combined our BlastWrap® blast-mitigating technology with Nordisk’s LD3 containers to create superior blast mitigating products for the air cargo and unit loading device (ULD) market called BlastGard BMULD. ULDs are pallets and containers used to load luggage, freight, and mail onto wide-body aircraft that facilitate the bundling of cargo into large units. The alliance has developed a new line of ULDs that include BlastWrap®. The introduction of this product line enables us to provide the airline industry an important new line of defense to increase airline safety of passengers and crewmembe rs. This revolutionary new container design incorporating BlastWrap® will prevent shock holing of the fuselage, effectively retaining the structural integrity of the aircraft; prevent post-blast fires and conflagration in the hold; and add little or only negligible weight to the ULD.

Lining – Single-Aisle (non-containerized) Aircraft

Working in conjunction with aircraft and shipping manufacturers, we are designing products and component assemblies to be used in the cargo holds of single-aisle aircraft. Due to the heightened security surrounding aircraft safety, we are diligently working to demonstrate the effectiveness of our product on this large sector which is estimated at about 70% of the commercial fleet.

Insensitive Munitions (IM) Weapons Containers

Weapons containers require specialty design. We have developed several of these containers for evaluation and testing by United States, United Kingdom and other military clients. Although we do not have a development or supply contract with any military agencies at this time, we anticipate important prototype testing of these designs will ensue in 2007. This product line will have numerous products for military weapons including bombs, rockets, medium and large caliber ammunition and missiles.

Trash Receptacles

We have four models of mitigated trash receptacles, the BlastGard® MTR 81, MTR 91, MTR 96 and MTR 101. These containers have been designed and proof tested to drastically mitigate blast pressures and thermal output and to capture bomb fragments.

Vehicle Improvised Explosive Devices and Mine Protection

Military vehicles (such as HMMWVs, HEMMT, M915 and FMTV) are or can be “up-armored” for improvised explosive devices and land mine protection. BlastGard® and Colt Rapid Mat LLC have developed and are now offering a new product called BATS. These specialty Colt RapidMat fiberglass-cased BlastWrap® products are easy to retro-fit to armored vehicles to provide protection for occupants from blast thermal output and head, neck and spine injuries from blast pressures.  Initial durability testing of BATS by the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) for the Office of Naval Research has been concluded successfully.  Blast testing will ensue in 2007.

Rapid Deployment Fortification Wall (RDFW™), Bunker and Over-Head Protection from Mortars and Rockets for Temporary Accommodation Units

This product uses special BATS posts as a facing for fortification walls and revetments and top covering for the roof of bunkers and temporary accommodations/barracks and various other structures such as Hesco Bastion Concertainer® barriers, “Jersey barriers” and “Texas barriers”. Successful testing has been concluded for large, in-contact bare charge blasts on RDFW™ walls, and for 81mm mortar threats on bunkers.  Additional tests will proceed in Spring 2007 on large vehicle borne IED (“VBIED”) threats against various structures. In these applications, the BATS system is designed to mitigate blast pressures, rapidly quench blast thermal output and stop all VBIED fragments.

We have developed either finished products or working prototypes of BlastWrap® products for each of the product lines described above. All of these products have been and will continue to be tested and evaluated in-house, by third-parties and by interested clients and strategic partners. Prototypes may require further modifications based on the test results and client and partner feed-back. However, we have the following products that are completed and finished products, available for sale that we are currently manufacturing and marketing:

our core product BlastWrap®;

the BlastGard® MTR (mitigated trash receptacle);

BlastGard MBR 300;

the BMULD;

the BATS wall posts for RDFW™ walls, bunkers, overhead protection and other structure protection products.; and

the BATS modules / casings made by Colt RapidMat LLC for vehicle protection.

Manufacturing

We have three distinct production types:

Serial Production – items that can be produced in quantity in an efficient, high-speed assembly line fashion.

Contract Manufacturing – items that require special design or custom features requiring separate and special manufacturing processes.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Production – items that are licensed to OEM manufacturers enabling greater control over design, quality and production requirements specific to their industry.

Serial Production

Manufacturing is sub-contracted to a BlastGard-licensed and qualified production facility, ideally in close proximity to the customer. This method facilitates customer interaction in design, quality and distribution to affect the greatest level of satisfaction and usefulness of the BlastWrap® product. BlastWrap® products likely to be built using Serial Production include:

BlastMags – The basic unit design of the small, especially plastic versions of this product line will use existing ready boxes and retrofit them with BlastWrap® protection. These products can be produced at existing fabricators trained and licensed to use BlastGard® Technology or can be sub-contracted to existing BlastGard® sub-contract production facilities.

Even though the sizes of a magazine will vary based on each customer’s needs, the basic design remains the same and can be produced at an existing magazine fabrication facility (which receives training and licensing from BlastGard®) or at a BlastGard® sub-contract production facility near the customer.

Contract Manufacturing

Although the Production/Engineering team in BlastGard’s Technology Center will design these items, we will sub contract manufacturing and assembly. This will be at our discretion to ensure quality and adherence to custom design requirements. BlastWrap® products likely to be built with contract manufacturing include:

Explosive Storage Units will be fabricated at a sub-contract facility with oversight by our engineers due to the nature of the highly customized and regulated design parameters required by the US Department of Defense and other regulating entities. In addition, designs may require testing, which will need to be administered by our personnel.

BlastMags – Design and production of this product will take place at BlastGard®’s preferred sub-contractor due to complex design requirements and the need for BlastGard® personnel to test product designs.


Original Equipment Manufacturer Production

Original equipment manufacturer production requires licensing agreements with contractors for a specific industry product. There will be several licensing agreements issued on a limited and non-exclusive basis to provide end-users with an appropriate number of well-located original equipment manufacturer producers. Once qualified and licensed by BlastGard®, original equipment manufacturer producers will be directed to produce and maintain quality standards per end user requirements. BlastWrap® products to be manufactured with original equipment manufacturer production will likely include:

Lining – Aircraft (B747- 400- Royalty)- Once design and testing has been completed by our engineering and design team, we will work closely with the certified and widely dispersed air frame sub-contractors to integrate the use of BlastWrap® into their internal systems, such as fuel tanks, cargo holds, cabin and fuselage. Aircraft manufactures, similar to auto manufactures, typically require several suppliers of each part. Therefore the license agreement for air frame sub-contractors will need to be limited and non-exclusive providing us royalties on a per-unit basis as well as continued design, manufacturing, and installation consulting.

Insensitive Munitions (IM) Weapons Containers – Once the design and testing of each product is complete, we will license and train personnel on the fabrication of the various products within the line. The Contractor chosen will manufacture this product line in-house for each specific munition / weapon system. The contractor is expected to pay a per unit royalty to us for use of the design and of the patented product. In return, we will be retained on a consulting and design basis as part of the license agreement.

Current manufacturing arrangements for finished products

Currently, we have several products that we consider to be completed and finished products. Manufacturing arrangements for those products follow:

Pro-Form Packaging, Inc., located in Dunellen, New Jersey manufactures BlastWrap® and the MTR and MBR lids and ships to Centerpoint Manufacturing for installation.

Centerpoint Manufacturing, Inc., located in Robertsdale, Alabama manufactures the BlastGard® MTR receptacles and will manufacture the BlastGard Mitigated Bomb Receptacles (MBR 300) as well. We entered into a five year exclusive alliance agreement with Centerpoint Manufacturing in October 2004 for the joint development of reinforced, blast mitigated trash receptacles. We are not contractually bound to use Pro-Form Packaging to manufacture the receptacle lids, and we believe that there are alternative manufacturers in the United States.

Geocell Systems, Inc. of San Francisco, California manufactures the RDFW™ for walls, revetments and bunkers in Park Hills, Missouri. Geocell is the exclusive manufacturer of this patented product and they are committed to working closely with BlastGard® International on the mutual efforts noted above. It may become desirable for BlastGard® to establish a contract for this manufacturing and commercial arrangement with Geocell Systems, Inc. in 2007 for the BATS product.

Colt Rapid Mat LLC is the manufacturer of the Blast and Thermal Suppression (BATS) in their plant in Delhi, Louisiana, which is for use on tops of bunkers, revetments and under vehicles. We are not contractually bound to use Colt Rapid Mat LLC to manufacture the BATS, and we believe that there are alternative manufacturers in the United States. It may become desirable for BlastGard® to establish a contract for this manufacturing and commercial arrangement with Colt Rapid Mat LLC in 2007.

 Quality Assurance

Sub-contractors and OEM producers have been and will continue to be trained, qualified and monitored to obtain and sustain a license from BlastGard®. We will ensure through continuous review of qualified producers and sub-contractors, and through end user/customer surveys, that design and quality standards are being maintained to specification. Licensing agreements will stipulate that we will have the right to withhold future contracts until mutually agreed upon standards of quality are achieved. End-users and customers will be partnered in agreeing to and setting quality standards for end products.

Purchasing

We rely on various suppliers to furnish the raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of our products. Management believes that there are numerous alternative suppliers for all of the key raw material and virtually all component needs.

Marketing Analysis

Overall Market

The market for blast solutions includes commercial industries (accidental explosions of chemicals, terrorist threats, demilitarization), militaries (weapons storage and transport, barriers, revetments and bunkers and vehicle protection), and governments and municipalities (bomb explosions and threats). We have examined each of these markets to identify areas and industries within each that will benefit most from BlastGard® Technology.

We have divided the commercial market into nine viable sectors as follows:

1. Energetic Materials (blasting agents, propellants, explosives)/Explosive Manufacturers/ Pyrotechnic Manufacturers

“Energetic materials” is a term used to encompass a wide range of materials that release intense heat during decomposition or combustion reactions.

Manufacturers of such devices are in need of protection against hazardous explosive situations in the manufacture, transport and storage of these materials.

While energetic manufacturers are a focus for BlastGard® technology, the related industries are also target markets. For all groups, both regulatory and insurance factors require strict storage and handling measures that involve confinement or separation, BlastWrap® products being specifically conceived for such roles. The propellant, pyrotechnic, and explosive manufacturing groups are viewed as prime markets for BlastWrap®.

2. Oil and Gas/Petrol Chemical/Chemical/Process Industries

To combat the unique explosions associated with oil, gas and chemical companies, BlastWrap® can be updated and deployed to clients in these sectors to address the problems involving explosive materials specific to the oil and gas industry with a convenient structural and/or architectural technology that would suppress explosions and minimize post-blast fire hazards with the following features:

Are always active and require no maintenance;

Comprised of flexible film formed by plurality of seams and filled with attenuating fillers that slow and cool impinging flame fronts;

Act as ‘virtual blast vents’ without requiring actual wall penetration; and

Light structure at less than .4 pounds per square foot of a 1” thickness.

 3. Manufacturing of Munitions

The full range of our products, from wall protection, barriers, and partitions to containers, can be used to enhance the safety and productivity of facilities that manufacture explosives, propellants, munitions and pyrotechnics. A number of specialty units are being designed to meet the needs of this market segment, such as the weapons container. Additionally, BlastWrap® is easily retrofitted into existing containers and storage magazines.

Table of Contents


4. Commercial Transport

Throughout the world, commercial companies ship explosive materials via air, train, bus or sea vessel. As determined by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, roughly 10% of goods shipped (in terms of tonnage) are classified as hazardous, meaning they can cause damage to other materials being transported, the transport container and supporting personnel. Such shipped products not only require insurance but also risk loss of money and injury.

We believe that BlastWrap® offers the ability to convert these standardized shipping containers into explosives storage units complying with the technical requirements of the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms Type 2 magazines. This would be accomplished through universally available containers for which numerous trailers, lift systems, stacking provisions, and international standards exist.

While actively searching for and detecting explosives is a right step in the protection of our ports, it is clear that it cannot be the only step. BlastWrap® provides a solution that is not dependent on identifying the threat ahead of time, and therefore we believe a significant opportunity is present.

5. Commercial Aviation

Testing in the United Kingdom by an agency of the Ministry of Defence under the auspices of the UK Civil Aviation Authority proved that our technology performs better than any other system tested in blast effect mitigation. BlastWrap® deals with all of the blast effects – the incident and reflected shocks, the Mach Stem shocks, the blast impulse, the blast flame front and blast after-burn. In spite of the many dollars expended in this area, political, governmental and scientific differences of opinion between United Kingdom and United States authorities on the best way to address these threats have simply stymied any meaningful solution being implemented for twin-aisle aircraft luggage containers.

BlastWrap® is not armor; however, properly configured, it does prevent fuselage shock holing, the critical factor in an aircraft’s structural survival. In addition, BlastWrap® quenches thermal output very rapidly thereby addressing the other critical aircraft survival factor. Rapid cooling is critical, as any spilled flammable fluids or materials as well as escaping gas will re-ignite if heat is present. Our new container design addresses both of these critical factors. In addition, it is a much lower capital cost than the “hardened containers” on the market. Finally, our design has a very small weight penalty, drastically lower overall weight gain (compared to the “hardened containers”) from standard LD3 containers thereby reducing the fuel and/or cargo penalty. The operating cost impact will be extremely low with our LD3.

There are numerous other applications within the commercial aviation market for our BlastGard® Technology, from lining the interior of an aircraft to providing an on-board ‘detonation center’ (e.g. outfitting a bathroom with BlastWrap® in the event a bomb, such as a shoe bomb, were to make its way onto a plane). While we will continue to pursue these various applications of the technology, we believe the best and most direct approach for sales within this market will be to market our new LD3 cargo containers lined with BlastWrap®.

There are an estimated 600,000 containers in service in the fleet today. There are approximately 40,000 units sold each year and each unit has an average useful life of 5 years. The total number of units in service will likely continue to rise over the next 10 years.

Working with the world’s largest LD3 container manufacturer, Nordisk Aviation Products, Inc. we have developed a low-cost highly effective solution for a new class of “semi-hardened” blast mitigation LD3 containers. Blast mitigating LD3 containers do not yet exist. Over the last 10 years, the FAA, Galaxy and TelAir, have built and tested “hardened LD3 containers” (containers that fully contain the blast inside the container walls). However, these products are simply not commercially viable due to the extremely high capital and operating costs associated with the materials utilized and the significant excess weight.

Our new design differs from the hardened containers in the following ways:



21



Table of Contents


Like hardened LD3’s, they prevent shock holing of the aircraft fuselage

They quench/kill afterburn and subsequent post-blast fires

They are light-weight, weighing about 225 pounds

They are affordable, with an expected retail price under $5,000

6. Research Facilities/Laboratories

Universities and research facilities work with explosive elements on a daily basis, from conducting tests to exploring new materials and compounds. Such installations are in need of mitigation protection in storage and to prevent sympathetic detonation or damage to property or persons. These products can reduce potential damage for personnel and property during the use and storage of the explosive elements.

While an interesting and possibly large market, due to the specific requirements and needs of each facility/laboratory, we believe sales opportunities the next two years are limited, as sales personnel and resources must be dedicated to this market space.

7. Entertainment

We believe that BlastWrap® offers a unique ability to protect actors, stunt people, sets, and valuable equipment against blast effects. One specialty firm that creates explosions and fireballs for movies informed BlastGard® that roughly one stunt person is hurt each day in incidents involving explosives and pyrotechnics. The former California State Fire Marshal informed BlastGard® management that studios wished to conduct larger explosions on sound stages near Hollywood to keep production costs down, but are not able to do so because of severe constraints on charge sizes. With competition to create ever-greater blast effects in movie and television spectaculars, we believe that BlastGard® can capitalize on this opportunity by allowing industry players the ability to safely perform such events on Hollywood, California back-lots.

BlastGard® Technology can be used to create an assortment of props and structures, either as integral walls or worked into the landscape or sound stage. Most Hollywood explosions use black powder and gasoline in various combinations, with some additives or special-purpose materials such as detonating cord. The low explosive power of these materials would make BlastWrap®’s protection role, including protection of cameras, relatively simple.

BlastGard® can also provide blast protection of vehicles. Vehicle flipping or vehicle destruction is fairly commonplace in films, and the charges used in connection with these stunts are comparatively small. BlastWrap® can protect stunt personnel and can be concealed or disguised, thereby enabling dramatic destruction sequences without injuring the performers.

As attractive as this market may be, it is not part of our initial marketing strategy. Total sales, in terms of quantity, are not likely large; however, we will respond to inquiries from the entertainment industry, and are aware of the promotional value for BlastWrap® products that are used in connection with “blockbuster” movies.


 8. Mining

Mining is a potentially significant market for our products. In this industry, large quantities of detonators and explosives are used every day. All of these require suitable storage and transport. High explosives are used in some fields, especially in metallurgical ores, which have harder formations.



22



Table of Contents


The greater mining industry opportunity is in the mines themselves, where BlastWrap® can be used as it would be in the oil industry: stopping and suppressing dust and gas explosions before significant injury and damage can develop. For example, methane gas is a very real and challenging hazard in coalmines. The cutting machinery and electrical power components can easily ignite flammable dusts and dust/gas mixtures, leading to disasters.

Mining will not be an initial target market for us. Profit margins are estimated to be low when compared to the potential of numerous other industries.

Military Market

It is understood in the defense industry that keeping up with cutting edge technology is crucial for the protection of military personnel. We are actively seeking the opportunity to showcase BlastWrap® to the military high command.

BlastWrap® does not distinguish between accidents and hostile action; it always functions when there is blast pressure and when a fireball is generated.

We believe that using BlastWrap® in buildings, onboard ships, or in vehicles, barrier walls, revetments, barracks, bunkers and command posts can efficiently achieve effective blast mitigation at a low cost. In addition, BlastWrap® can be used in a variety of ways within each of these categories. From lining compartments in research and testing facilities to encasing engines to insulating launch installations, we believe that BlastWrap® will provide protection across a variety of platforms.

Other BlastWrap® uses would include munitions manufacturing, handling, (load/assembly/pack facilities) and storage (a very broad range from large depots to small magazines), explosives/munitions transport (again a wide array of small caliber ammunition to large rockets and missiles), military structures (wide range), military vehicles ((improvised explosive devices) and land mine protection), shields/revetments and broad demilitarization efforts. Although this market is huge, it is difficult to assess since typical military mind-set has been to accept the dangers of Q-D (quantity/distance offsets) in transport and use, and even in storage when in any conflict.

We have divided the Military Market into the following sectors:

1. Military Logistics

In times of both war and peace, military institutions require a substantial sealift capability to transport potentially explosive and hazardous materials.

As an example of the amount of munitions carried on a single ship, the average US-flag ship carried an average 23,390 tons of dry cargo per ship in the Gulf War—the equivalent of 1,772 containers using the above 13.2 tons/container number. Thus, the loss of any of the sealift ships mentioned above would result in the loss of a month’s worth (or more) of munitions for the group conducting the shipping. BlastGard® Technology can be used to protect these sealifts from sympathetic detonation within, offensive attacks from the enemy or friendly fire mistakes.

2. Defense/Storage of On-Base Munitions

The US Department of Defense components are all major prospective markets for BlastWrap®. Additionally, demilitarization (“demil”—the destruction of excess or spent munitions) is a major activity at numerous bases, munitions facilities, and test ranges. Most important to our marketing plan is to take advantage of the numerous, substantial opportunities created by base closures and “dense-packing” of munitions, people, and high-value assets.



23



Table of Contents


Our products make munitions storage a large potential market because munitions stored within BlastWrap®-lined spaces would be shifted from the type 1.1 (mass-detonating) category, which triggers the requirement for maximum separation, to the type 1.2 (non-mass-detonating) or 1.4 (insensitive) categories. The 1.2 and 1.3 categories require much less stringent storage requirements.

3. Military Vehicles

Our products offer a means of protecting vehicles against ground mine blasts, regardless of vehicle type or size, from small mini-pickups to heavy tractor-trailer combinations, both armored and “soft-skinned”.

Since World War 2, the majority of vehicle losses have been due to ground mines. Since the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, more than 90% of vehicles lost have been due to mines, however, in the War on Terror, we have seen in recent years a significant increase in vehicle loss due to improvised explosive devices.

The trend in all modern armies is toward smaller and lighter vehicles, with thinner armor or none at all. This trend reflects the worldwide conflict situation, where hostilities involve guerilla or other dismounted forces widely scattered in friendly terrain (the 1990-1 Persian Gulf campaign was the last major clash of heavy armored forces). These smaller vehicles, such as the HMMWV “Humvee”, are almost always destroyed by modern mines. Truck cabs of all sizes are also destroyed by almost every type of anti-vehicle mine, not just damaged. Since these vehicles are predominant in “peace-keeping” forces and rapid deployment groups, the fatality and major injury percentage is very high compared with tanks.

We believe that BlastWrap® in a simple casing offers the capability of mitigating all seven mechanisms for achieving a vehicle “kill”. These mechanisms include total vehicle destruction (major disintegration, internal explosion, fire), incapacitating the crew (“g”-force accelerations that cause serious injury), loss of mobility (destroying wheels, tracks, and/or drive train), loss of vehicle control (steering damage or severe vehicle deformation), and immobilizing through fuel loss (fuel tank or fuel line rupture). There are numerous locations for BlastWrap® products that would provide the necessary protection, including exterior attachments, substitutions for existing vehicle “skins”, and behind-armor BlastWrap® material to mitigate internal blast effect and suppress internal fires. Our efforts with Colt Rapid Mat LLC are specifically focused on this application, espe cially for the United States Marine Corps.

4. Defense/Combat Systems

An additional area of focus for us is in the Defense market is major US Department of Defense system developments and upgrades. This includes the Air force’s production of combat aircraft, the Navy’s combat fleet and the Army’s “Future Combat Systems” family of C-130 air-transportable vehicles. While the US Department of Defense presents a viable market for the use of blast mitigation products that offer substantial system survivability, reduced weight, and other advantages, the organization’s purchase cycles are too uncertain and invariably prolonged, and the cost of participation for a contractor is very high.

We are quite interested in participating in aircraft and vehicle programs when its efforts and materials are paid as a subcontractor, and/or when there is tangible marketing value that can be clearly defined if we are involved in such programs. One such area is in retrofits and replacement programs for the Army’s medium and heavy truck fleets (dominated by Oshkosh and Stewart & Stevenson).

We have limited influence within this market.

5. Naval Vessels

Newer warships primarily use gas turbine engines, which use the same fuel as jet aircraft. These engines are confined in a noise/heat reducing enclosure. Most of the remaining types use diesel engines, as do most military vehicles and trucks.

Diesel or kerosene-type fuels’ vapors can generate explosive pressure in confined spaces. This is less of a problem in ground combat vehicles (where pool fires are more of a threat), but is a serious problem aboard a ship. Both accidents and hostile action can generate a fuel mist in a confined space, which can then ignite the flammable mix. The most likely severe hazard scenario is a fireball involving a fuel mist.

 

BlastWrap® in locations distributed around a shipboard or a vehicle engine compartment can suppress fireballs and minimize heating of metal surfaces by a flash fire. Using BlastWrap® can manage fireballs and flash fires created in fuel mists that could rapidly incapacitate personnel in the compartment. If the compartment is open to outside air (through a hull rupture, missile entrance, or to another compartment), any Halon fire systems, if used, will rapidly escape and the compartment fire will rapidly become uncontrollable.

While BlastWrap® can be effectively applied on board and throughout naval ships, this target market will not be pursued during our initial marketing efforts.

Government/Municipal Market

We have divided the Government/Municipal Market into the following sectors:

1. Government Buildings/Structures (Embassies)

The explosion, that ripped through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 killed 168 people, injured more than 500 others and damaged more than 300 buildings. While the probability of becoming the victim of a terrorist attack has changed recently, it still remains low, but the cost of such an attack continues to skyrocket. According to The Sentinel (Vol. 1, No. 3, Third Quarter 1993), a publication of the Industrial Risk Insurers, explosion has the highest average dollar loss of all hazardous events. Therefore, another cost factor entering today’s construction and building operation economy is blast mitigation costs. Since September 11, 2001, insurance costs have risen dramatically as the threat of terrorism becomes a reality. We believe that BlastWrap® may help companies reduce these costs and related liabilities from unexpected explosions.


2. Research Facilities and Laboratories

Research facilities deal with a large amount of explosive and hazardous materials. Both universities and government facilities work with explosive elements on a daily basis, from conducting tests to exploring new materials and compounds. Such installations are in need of mitigation protection in storage and to prevent sympathetic detonation or damage to property or persons. BlastWrap® is ideally suited for these environments. These products can reduce potential damage for personnel and property during the use and storage of the explosive elements.

Marketing Strategy

We believe that we are positioned to fill the expansive needs associated with blast and fire mitigation across numerous industries throughout the world. We have only begun to address the many uses and designs in which BlastWrap® can be effectively applied.



25



Table of Contents


We believe that our BlastGard® Technology can provide blast mitigation solutions for numerous industries across various market segments. However, we recognize that some industries will have significant barriers to entry and/or long lead times or conversely, provide an immediate revenue source. Having limited resources, we have researched each target market, ranked each market and divided the markets into two groups; markets that will require a strategic partnership to penetrate and markets we will sell directly to. We have developed a three-pronged approach to market our BlastGard® Technology.

The three-pronged approach will maximize market penetration while minimizing cost. Our approach is to:

Develop Strategic Partners in existing well-defined markets.

Initiate a Direct Sales Approach. We intend to hire four market focused sales representatives to work with the top four markets, which we currently consider to be (1) military, (2) aviation industry, (3) oil and gas industry and (4) homeland defense. In addition, we will retain commercial representatives who will be licensed to sell BlastGard® Technology to specific markets.

Inform and Educate. Our marketing team, through the Director of Marketing, will seek to create awareness of BlastGard® Technology in the public, commercial and private sectors.


Agreement With G & H Enterprises


On September 19, 2006, we entered into a strategic business agreement with G & H Enterprises, LLC who will provide services as advisors to the Company based on business planning issues, such as Department of Defense (DoD) budget trends, acquisition policies, service priorities, changes in war fighting doctrines, and future program opportunities within the U.S. Government.  G & H will also assist BlastGard in developing strategies and plans for integrating the various activities and programs within the Company to ensure a coordinated, system-oriented approach to capture future business from the DoD and other governmental agencies. Additionally, G & H will assist BlastGard International’s management team in recruiting and hiring highly-talented individuals for senior positions to complement its existing team. G & H Enterprises, LLC is a consultancy firm founded by two highly decorated and retired veterans of the U.S. Armed forces, Lieutenant Gen eral Jay M. Garner and Lieutenant General Ronald V. Hite.  Their complementary expertise comes from having held a variety of corporate and advisory positions through their career.  


General Garner has held positions as Director of the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance to assist the Iraqi people in the immediate aftermath of combat operations, President of SY Technology, Inc., a member of the Army Science Board and a member of the Commission to Assess United States National Security Space Management and Organization.  He has also served as Commanding General of the U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command (USASSDC), the Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Force Development, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans, and Deputy Commanding General, V Corps Frankfurt Germany. Other assignments include Commanding General, Joint Task Force Bravo – Operation Provide Comfort in northern Iraq, Deputy Commanding General, U.S. Army Air Defense School, commanding at Brigade and Battalion level in VII Corps in Europe and serving two tours in Viet Nam, 1967-68, 1971-72.  General Garner’s last assign ment in the Army was as Assistant Vice Chief of the Army.

Lieutenant General Ronald V. Hite retired July 1, 1997, from the United States Army after 33 years of service. Upon retirement from the military, General Hite joined Cypress International and retired as the Chairman & CEO in January 2005.  He has served the Board of Directors for Cirrus Technology, Inc. since November 2005. General Hite has held positions as Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research, Development and Acquisition, the Senior Military Advisor to the Army Acquisition Executive and the Army Chief of Staff on all research, development and acquisition programs. He has testified as the principal military witness for Research, Development and Acquisition appropriations with Congress, supervised the Program Executive Officer System, and served as the Director, Army Acquisition Corps. General Hite served as the Program Executive Officer, Combat Support, where he was responsible for development, production and fielding of the Arm y’s High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, medium/heavy truck fleets and commercial construction equipment and served as the Deputy Program Executive Officer for Future Systems, Armored Systems Modernization responsible for establishing development programs for the self-propelled howitzer, line of sight antitank system, and combat engineer, ammunition re-supply, and  infantry fighting vehicles.  General Hite has also had successive command tours as the Commanding General at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, and United States Army Test and Evaluation Command in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.


Business Prospects/Recent Developments


In March 2007, the UK Defence Ordnance Safety Group (DOSG) completed testing of and are currently analyzing the results of several variants BlastGard has submitted (which use BlastWrap® as the key ingredient) of a new class of insensitive munitions (IM) packaging solutions. These novel packaging systems are designed to prevent mass detonations in ammunition and/or weapons storage and transport by the elimination of sympathetic detonation (SD) leading to catastrophic mass detonation.  This results when one detonating unit or energetic material initiates the next, and so on, in a chain reaction. It is also anticipated these IM solutions will dramatically improve fast cook off (the initiation of a unit of ammunition or other energetic store in the event of a fuel fire) and slow cook off performance (the initiation of a unit of ammunition or energetic material by a slowly increasing sustained temperature) as well as meet all of the other IM pa ckaging specifications of NATO and the United States military. Testing of these solutions is nearly always classified, and these programs are also extremely slow to develop


We are currently developing IM solutions for several weapons with the PHST Group at the Naval Weapons Station Earle and from the Defense Ammunition Center, McAlester. The results of three tests using BlastWrap at the Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center AMRDEC) on the TOW missile have generated “impressive results”. In addition, AMRDEC has recently ordered another lot of BlastWrap® for testing with another (unnamed) weapon system.


BlastGard will team with Day & Zimmermann, one of the oldest and largest US weapons plant Load, Assemble and Pack (LAP) contractors to attract funding for IM packaging product development from the National Warheads and Energetics Consortium (NWEC) / Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC) for funding of IM packaging systems to be submitted this Fall. The U. S. Army Defense Ammunition Center in McAlester, OK is one of three government-owned, government-operated ammunition (GOGO) facilities in the US, serving as a Tier 1 ammunition depot. Managing and improving major QD / SD issues at McAlester could generate huge usage there, and could spread to other GOGO and GOCO facilities. They are currently reviewing specific potential test options for BlastWrap®.

We have conducted further development design and testing of a series of products for improved blast mitigation protection of rapid deployment barriers, walls, revetments and bunkers (including overhead protection from inbound mortars) for the United States military.  Two other companies involved with BlastGard in these wall and bunker developments are Geocell Systems, Inc. of San Francisco and Colt Rapid Mat LLC of Hartford, CT.  The three companies sponsored successful testing of the wall protection system at the US Marine Corps base at 29 Palms, CA on October 27, 2006.  On November 13, 2006, we received the initial contract from the Marines for shipment of wall and bunker system test articles to the Marine Warfighting Lab at Quantico, VA for more extensive and instrumented testing.  Military Structures – BGI and its partners have done extensive and successful testing in this product area.  Although from the outset the primary customer ta rget has been the United States Marine Corps, there is substantial potential for sales of these products in various international markets as well.  Lancer Systems is actively pursuing the reinforcement of protective walls from Qassam rocket threats in the Israeli towns bordering the Gaza Strip, especially at schools. BGI has designed a retrofit RDFW wall and BATS system to enhance the existing walls.


We have extended our development of vehicle protection systems.  We are teamed with Colt Rapid Mat LLC as well as VSE Corporation in blast protection systems for tactical wheeled military vehicles.  VSE Corporation, a publicly traded company has provided more than $2 billion in diversified engineering and technical support services to the U.S. Government. VSE has been ranked among the top 100 defense contractors, top 10 foreign military sales contractors, and top 50 Navy contractors in the nation. Initial durability tests of an OEM blast mitigation system were successful in December 2006 at the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) outside Carson City, NV.  In addition, the Wise Company is preparing BlastWrap-protected seat systems for heavy G-load testing by Force Protection, Inc., the leading MRAP supplier (i.e. the Buffalo, Cougar and Cheetah).  


In early 2006, BlastGard submitted proposals to the Nigerian Army, which requested BlastWrap®, to be used as a temporary solution for IM packaging.  In addition, we offered to provide ATO training, design, support and procedures for facilities, including new, “state of the art” facilities to protect against further disastrous blast events in their weapons depots.   As previously reported, BlastGard conducted a series of successful demonstrations for the Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps, demonstrating the effectiveness of BlastWrap® in reducing blast pressure and impulse and for preventing sympathetic detonation. BlastGard submitted proposals for BlastWrap®, for IM packaging, for training programs, for rapid deployment wall and bunker systems, for fire resistance products, and will offer oil pipeline protection systems soon for initial funding by the Nigerian government. Although the 2006 Nigerian government budget includes a line item for initial BlastWrap® requirements, these contracts have not yet been placed. The Nigerian Army is still considering use of 536,000 sq, ft. of BlastWrap and standard plywood weapons crates for a repackaging of their munitions in their weapons cantonments throughout the country.  All steps preparatory to funding this requirement are concluded. Upon government funding, negotiation of final terms will ensue.


To assess the vulnerability of oil and gas pipelines to explosive attack, the Company conducted a series of explosive tests at Bakersfield, CA. The tests graphically illustrate the phenomenon of high explosive shock holing (breaching) of oil pipelines. We tested 24” OD X .375” wall API-5L X42 grade steel line pipe with welded .375” thick end plates (to seal the pipe). The assembly was then filled with water to represent the appropriate hydraulic shock transmission characteristics of a filled oil transmission line. A 2 pound charge of C4 was placed directly on the surface of the pipe and detonated. The charge punched a 6” diameter hole in the side of the pipe and produced a high pressure hydraulic wave in the fluid in the tube which split the end plate welds and distorted the plates. This is a classic example of steel “shock holing” and hydraulic shock transmission.  We then placed a 10-1/8” square section of 3” thick BlastWr ap® onto an identical section of (filled) line pipe, and placed a second 2 pound charge of C4 directly onto the BlastWrap®, and fired the charge. The pipe was only slightly dented and neither of the end plates was deformed or exhibited split welds. We expect to develop this protection system with an impenetrable tough surface armor, which will make it very difficult for terrorists to destroy exposed oil pipelines (or wellheads and other production equipment) using current methods. The tests we have done prove that BlastWrap® does prevent shock holing, and this capability can be applied to many applications: aircraft fuselages, bridge pillars, suspension cables for bridges, electricity substations and “hardened” buildings.  Although the anticipated pipeline protection system development proposal has been delayed, recommencement of this high priority project will likely commence in the second half of 2007. What remains is the manufacturing of a ful l scale pipeline protection system for severe ballistic and blast testing.

In June 2006, we introduced a new line of aviation products. In accordance with a five-year alliance agreement with Nordisk Aviation Products, Inc. (“Nordisk”) signed in October 2005, BlastGard has combined its BlastWrap® blast-mitigating technology with Nordisk’s LD3 containers to create superior blast mitigating products for the air cargo and unit loading device (ULD) market. ULDs are pallets and containers used to load luggage, freight, and mail onto wide-body aircraft that facilitate the bundling of cargo into large units. The introduction of this product line enables the Company to provide the airline industry an important new line of defense to increase airline safety of passengers and crewmembers. Nordisk is headquartered in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Nordisk is a manufacturer, repair and leasing company of Unit Loading Devices (“ULD”) engaged in developing, supplying and supporting ULD equipment for the commercial passenger and air f reight/cargo airline industry as well as the military, including its engineering support, and Worldwide Service Network. The purpose of the Alliance is to combine Nordisk Services products with the BlastGard® Technology to offer enhanced blast mitigated products to the ULD marketplace with respect to both existing ULD’s and newly manufactured ULD’s. There are an estimated 600,000 containers in service in the fleet today with approximately 40,000 new units sold each year. Each unit has an average useful life of about 5 years, and we estimate that the total number of units in service will continue to rise over the next 10 years. We are working with the largest ULD container manufacturer in the world to develop a low-cost solution for ‘semi-hardened’ blast mitigation ULD containers that may vastly improve the chances of aircraft survival in the event of a reoccurrence of an airplane explosion in midair as occurred in Lockerbie, Scotland. Initial technical meetings with the pr imary US flag carriers commenced in August 2006.  Current assessment of those meetings along with direction from TSA officials will dictate the next steps.  Contacts with international carriers will follow these initial efforts. Continental Airlines was both interested and enthusiastic about the value proposition BGI presented for its light weight TwinTex Blast-mitigated ULD. The capital cost is dramatically lower than the hardened containers of Galaxy and Telair, and the operating cost will actually pay back the unit capital expenditure in .8 years, saving fuel and/or increasing freight capacity/revenue thereafter. We are standing by while DHS/TSA considers the next testing and certification issues on these products. We also briefed the lead engineer of Strategic Projects for a major air/ground service company and there are three potential project initiatives being considered for their over 600 aircraft fleet – (1) airframe lining with BlastWrap for shock holing protection, (2) container (ULD ) retrofit with the BGI system, and (3) Least Resistant Bomb Location (LRBL) packaging options, including a fire/small explosives packaging product manufactured by VIZIMAGE LLC in Minnesota.  We have sent samples to them for initial evaluation.


In July 2006, we introduced a new product for Airport Security, the BlastGard® Mitigated-Bomb Receptacle (MBR 300).  The MBR 300 provides airport security personnel with an effective tool, if and when an explosive is discovered. It will contain and protect all lethal threats posed by the detonation of an improvised explosive device (IED); namely, primary fragments, secondary fragments, mechanical effects (shock/blast pressure) and thermal effects (contact and radiation burn) from the fireball, afterburn and resultant post-blast fires. If a suspect package or bomb is discovered, the airports need a means of securing that package and rendering the scene safe until the bomb squad arrives. The largest and most visible investment made by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been in enhancing the passenger screener force and in massively expanding the number of explosive detection systems (EDS) required to examine checked luggage for bombs. Effective security, therefore, includes not only deterrent and preventive measures but all efforts to mitigate casualties, damage, and disruption. Given the nature of terrorism and the inherent vulnerabilities of public transportation, deterrence and prevention are sometimes difficult to achieve; therefore, great emphasis is also placed upon the mitigation of casualties through the design of facilities and upon effective, rapid response that ensures safety while minimizing disruption. The MBR 300 is an ideal pre-incident security technology for airports in dealing with bomb threats and suspicious objects or packages.

The American Public Transportation Association (http://www.apta.com/) (“APTA”) is the leading force in advancing public transportation. Every transit, bus and airport authority in the USA is a member of APTA as is 80% of Europe. APTA has established a Transit Security Infrastructure Work Group.  The focus of the Transit Security Infrastructure Work Group is to develop industry standards for transit related infrastructure.  Transit infrastructure is defined as passenger, maintenance and operations facilities, and their related assets; rights-of-way, including tunnels, elevated structures, and bridges; fixed assets, such as track, signals, traction power substations, and interlockings.  The Working Group has initially focused on the types and placement of security-conscious trash receptacles.  We expect these specifications will be published very soon, which should substantially set apart and enhance our MTR product line.  ASTM will lik ely follow with testing specifications for these products, and the Company will have a representative active in that effort as well.  


We continue our efforts with the Australian Department of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO).  DSTO is designing tests for the BlastWrap® we have shipped them.  Substantial efforts are underway to attain Australian DoD approval and usage of numerous BlastGard products.  


On October 29, 2007, we announced that we entered into a strategic business agreement with Lancer Systems LP (“Lancer”). Lancer was recently created by Green, Tweed's ownership to focus solely on the defense industry. Lancer provides manufacturing, marketing/sales and program management capabilities to service the domestic and international Military market.  Lancer also has support and sales organizations within Israel to support the military and security markets in that country. Lancer and BlastGard have agreed to enter into an exclusive arrangement for the manufacture, marketing, and sale of BlastGard products for two defined business opportunities: 1) military weapons containers for shipment and storage; and 2) under and side armor of General Dynamics Stryker vehicle program. The Company has also granted to Lancer a limited exclusive right to sell all BlastGard products in the State of Israel on defined and agreed projects. Lancer intends to use B lastGard products for container and baggage storage for aircraft, public and specifically school safety as well as various military applications within Israel.


Competition


The market for blast containment and mitigation is not well defined. Competitors range from niche architectural and engineering firms that provide specialized design and construction techniques for buildings to fire systems manufacturers. We have identified the top nine established companies that offer blast mitigation solutions, each of which may be a potential competitor in one or more of the various markets that we are pursuing. Each of these companies has been in business longer, and has substantially greater resources than BlastGard®:

AISIS Ltd.

CINTEC

Corus Group PLC

Firexx Corporation

General Plastics Manufacturing

Line-X

Mistral Security, Inc.

Suppress X-S, LLC

Terre-Armee Israel Co.


Governmental Regulation

We are not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations that would affect our business, except to the extent that we voluntarily design products to meet various governmental guidelines. For example, our products can be designed to conform to the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm’s requirements for the containment of explosive materials.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We do not own any real estate properties. Until June 2007, we were recently headquartered and located in a 6,000 square foot facility comprised of approximately 1,260 square feet of air conditioned office space and 4,740 square feet of non air-conditioned warehouse space located at 12900 Automobile Blvd., Suites C-D, Clearwater, Florida 33762. We paid a base monthly rent of $2,782, which included rent, common area maintenance, and real estate taxes. Formerly, we paid rent pursuant to a sublease from Michael J. Gordon, an officer and director, which expired on December 31, 2005. A new lease was entered into directly between the landlord and us. The term of the new Lease commenced on January 1, 2006 and expired on December 31, 2006. Our lease for 2007 until June 2007 was month-to-month. Effective July 1, 2007, we entered into a one-year lease for approximately 150 square feet of office space for our headquarters located in Clearwater , Florida. We are paying $600 per month over a term of one year under the lease. We also have satellite offices for our executive officers located in Houston, Texas and Toronto, Canada. In connection with these satellite offices, we currently pay an affiliated company office rent of an aggregate of approximately $1,200 per month. Management believes that suitable facilities will be obtained that are adequate for our current and anticipated needs.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


On September 12, 2005, we were served with a lawsuit that was filed in the Second Judicial District Court in Washoe County, Nevada as case number CV-05-02072. The plaintiff in the lawsuit was Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership. The lawsuit makes a variety of claims and contends that BlastGard and certain officers of BlastGard misappropriated certain technology, including two patents, and seeks damage “in excess of $10,000”. The action was removed to federal court in Nevada. We filed a motion to have the case dismissed as to BlastGard International, Inc., and all other defendants, for lack of personal jurisdiction. There was also a motion for a more definite statement in that three of the claims by Verde are conclusory, vague and ambiguous.

On July 14, 2006, the United States District Court rendered its decision in this case. It was ordered and adjudged that the motion to dismiss the individual defendants and the motion to dismiss the BlastGard defendants was granted. Defendants’ motion for a more definite statement is moot. The Court entered judgment on July 17, 2006 in favor of all Defendants and against the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff had 30 days from the date of the judgment (July 17) to file a notice of appeal and no filing was made.

On July 19, 2006, we filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida. The Defendants in the lawsuit are Sam Gettle, Guy Gettle and Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership (“Verde”). The lawsuit contends that the Defendants have committed defamatory acts against BlastGard International and its products. The lawsuit also asks for a declaration that BlastGard International is not liable for the acts complained of in the Nevada action. On BlastGard’s affirmative claims for defamation, the Florida action seeks injunctive relief and damages in excess of $15,000, exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs.

Introduction

On January 31, 2004, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of BlastGard Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation, from BlastGard Technologies’ shareholders, in exchange for an aggregate of 18,200,000 (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock split) shares of our common stock. BTI is a development stage company that was created to develop, design, manufacture, and market proprietary blast mitigation materials. BlastGard Technologies’ patent-pending BlastWrap® technology is designed to effectively mitigate blasts and suppress fires resulting from explosions. As a result of the Reorganization Agreement, a change in control and change in management of the Company occurred and BTI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Reorganization Agreement also provided that the Company hold a shareholders meeting to (i) change the name of the corporation to BlastGard® International, Inc., and (ii) approve a reverse split of the outstanding common stock on a 5:1 basis. A Special Shareholder meeting was held on March 12, 2004, and both proposals were approved. The name change and the reverse split of the outstanding common stock became effective on March 31, 2004.

We intend to focus exclusively on the business plan of BlastGard Technologies. BlastGard Technologies was formed on September 26, 2003, and is a development stage company. BTI acquired its only significant asset, a patent application for BlastWrap®, in January 2004, from co-inventors John L. Waddell, Jr., our Chief Operating Officer, and President, and James F. Gordon, our Chief Executive Officer, who assigned the patent to BlastGard Technologies in consideration of the consummation of the Reorganization Agreement. For accounting purposes, we assigned no monetary value to the patent application that was assigned to BlastGard Technologies. Our current management team, which was the management team of BlastGard Technologies prior to the reorganization, had operated a corporation called BlastGard, Inc., which was dissolved in 2004. BlastGard, Inc. had a license from a third-party to certain t echnology which is different from the technology owned by BlastGard Technologies.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, BlastGard Technologies became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. However, for accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a recapitalization of BlastGard Technologies, with our company the legal surviving entity.

Development Stage

Management changed the manner in which it presents our operating results and cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2005. Management no longer considers us in the development stage as defined by the FASB Statement of Standards No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development State Enterprises.” As a result, cumulative operating results and cash flow information are no longer presented in the accompanying financial statements. This change does not affect our operating results or financial position.


Results of Operations


2006 vs. 2005


Since emerging from our development stage operations in 2005, our BlastGard MTR blast mitigated trash receptacles have been sold to six government service advantage (“GSA”) clients located in the United States. In this respect, in February 2006, we received an order for 190 BlastGard® MTR blast mitigated trash receptacles from the National Railroad Passenger Corporation also known as Amtrak. The blast mitigated trash receptacles were installed at twelve different Amtrak stations throughout the United States. Amtrak took delivery and installation of the trash receptacles during 2006. We recognized approximately $828,000 in gross revenue from this initial order. In addition, we received other orders for MTRs from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, GSA for Federal Buildings and for BlastWrap® from the Naval Weapons Station Earle, Sandia National Labs, and several domestic and international entitie s. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized sales of $925,880 and a gross profit of $234,415.

In 2005, we emerged from our development stage operations and had sales of $1,129,271 and gross profit of $297,929 from the sale of our BlastGard MTR blast mitigated trash receptacles to five government service advantage (“GSA”) clients located in the United States.

Operating expenses in 2006 were $2,196,040 or 237% of sales as compared to $1,756,994 or 156% of sales for 2005.  Operating expenses increased in 2006 over 2005 by $439,046 due to increases in stock based compensation of approximately $425,000 and increases in general and administrative expenses of approximately $125,000 partially offset by decreases in research and development expenses of $105,000.

Our net loss for 2006 was $2,451,476 as compared to a 2005 net loss of $1,771,306, an increase of $680,170. This increase in our 2006 net loss was primarily due to decreased gross profit of $63,514, increased operating expenses of $439,046 and increased interest expense of $444,059.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 vs. 2006

Since emerging from our development stage operations in 2005, our BlastGard MTR blast mitigated trash receptacles have been sold to six government service advantage (“GSA”) clients located in the United States. We received orders for MTRs from the National Railroad Passenger Corporation also known as Amtrak., the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, GSA for Federal Buildings, NYC Transit and for BlastWrap® from the Naval Weapons Station Earle, Sandia National Labs, and several domestic and international entities. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized sales of $258,264 and a gross profit of $36,165, as compared to sales of $4,406 and a negative gross profit of $(3,047) for the comparable period of the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized sales of $375,700 and a gross profit of $53,982, as compared to sales and gross profit of $867,741 and $197,035 for the comparable period of the prior ye ar.


For the quarter ended and nine months ended September 30, 2007, our overall operating and non operating expenses, including interest expense and gain on derivative liability, were relatively constant over the comparable period of the prior year. In October 2007, we took measures to reduce our monthly operating costs by approximately $30,000 from approximately $210,000 per month to an estimated $180,000 per month.


Our net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $890,540 as compared to $708,747 for the comparable period of the prior year. Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $2,860,548 as compared $1,603,149 for the comparable period of the prior year.

BlastGard’s products are currently being tested (or have recently been tested) and evaluated by many military and defense contractors and commercial companies in the United States and abroad as described under Business Prospects. As we experience anticipated growth and expansion of our operations, we will experience an increase in operating expenses and costs of doing business.

Markets Identified For BlastWrap®

We are currently manufacturing our core product, BlastWrap®, for sale in various forms to non-affiliated third-parties. The primary application for BlastWrap® is as an intermediate good for numerous civilian and military applications and uses.

Our technology is being customized for specific industries and applications. We have examined the various markets where explosions occur, selected targeted applications and focused on development of products for those businesses and agencies at risk. While designing finished products engineered with BlastWrap®, we have taken into account that some products must be portable, while others will remain at a fixed location. Some products have been designed to contain identified explosive agents, while others are designed to mitigate unidentified explosive threats.  With these standards in mind, we have developed or are developing the following product lines to address the needs of customers and targeted markets:

·

Mitigated Bomb Receptacles

·

Insensitive Munitions (IM) Weapons Container

·

Blast and Thermal Suppression (“BATS”) system products for vehicle improvised explosive device (IED), land mine protection and over-head protection from mortar and rocket attack for temporary accommodation units and barriers

·

Low-cost, high performance widely available basalt fiber-based armor

MBR 300

The BlastGard Mitigated-Bomb Receptacle (MBR 300) is intended to provide airport security personnel with an effective tool, if and when an explosive is discovered. The MBR 300 will dramatically contain and protect against all lethal threats posed by the detonation of an IED; namely, primary fragments, secondary fragments, mechanical effects (shock/blast pressure) and thermal effects (contact and radiation burn) from the fireball, after burn and resultant post-blast fires. If a suspect package or bomb is discovered, the airports will use the MBR 300 as a safe means of securing that package until the bomb squad arrives, or remove the suspicious device from the area, allowing airport operations to continue.

The United States Transportation Security Administration has worked hard to secure U.S. airports against a range of threats that includes attacks against both aircraft and ground facilities. The largest and most visible investment made by the agency has been in enhancing the passenger screener force and in massively expanding the number of explosive detection systems (EDS) required to examine checked luggage for bombs. Effective security, therefore, includes not only deterrent and preventive measures but also efforts to mitigate casualties, damage, and disruption. Since deterrence and prevention are sometimes difficult to achieve given the nature of terrorism and the inherent vulnerabilities of public transportation, great emphasis is also placed upon the mitigation of casualties through design of facilities and upon effective, rapid response that ensures safety while minimizing disruption. We believe that the MBR 300 is an ideal incident / security management technology for airports when dealing with bomb threats and suspicious objects or packages, especially in passenger carryon baggage.

Insensitive Munitions (IM) Weapons Containers

Weapons containers require specialty design. We have developed several of these containers for evaluation and testing by the United States, United Kingdom and other military clients. Although we do not have a development or supply contract with any military agencies at this time, we anticipate important prototype testing of these designs will ensue in the second half of 2007 with our strategic partner Lancer Systems and with the National Warheads and Energetics Consortium (NWEC) / Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC). This product line will have numerous versions for military weapons including bombs, rockets, medium and large caliber ammunition and missiles.

Vehicle Improvised Explosive Devices and Mine Protection

Military vehicles (such as MRAPs, HMMWVs, HEMMT, M915 and FMTV) are or can be “up-armored” for improvised explosive devices and land mine protection. BlastGard® and Colt Rapid Mat LLC have developed and are now offering a new product called BATS. These specialty Colt Rapid Mat fiberglass-cased BlastWrap® products are easy to retro-fit to armored vehicles to provide protection for occupants from blast thermal output and head, neck and spine injuries from blast pressures.  Initial durability testing of BATS by the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) for the Office of Naval Research has been concluded successfully.  Further testing awaits selection and funding by NATC/ONR for blast testing.   An important additional partner in these vehicle applications is Cellular Materials International, Inc. which has a periodic cellular material shown to be effective in managing the heavy G-l oads typical of under-vehicle blast threats.

Rapid Deployment Fortification Wall (RDFW™), Bunker and Over-Head Protection from Mortars and Rockets for Temporary Accommodation Units

This product (Rapid Deployment Fortification Walls (“RDFW™”) uses BATS posts as a facing for fortification walls and revetments and top covering for the roof of bunkers and temporary accommodations/barracks.  Successful testing has been concluded for large, in-contact bare charge blasts on RDFW™ walls, and for 81mm mortar threats on bunkers.  Additional tests by the US Marine Corps on large vehicle borne IED (“VBIED”) threats against these three structures have just been concluded.  The classified results are being compiled and a full report prepared. In these applications, the RDFW™ / BATS system is designed to mitigate blast pressures, rapidly quench blast thermal output and stop all VBIED fragments.  Extensive marketing efforts are underway for application of these products in several international markets, and we believe that meaningful contracts may result.

In summary, we have developed either finished products or working prototypes of BlastWrap® products for each of the product lines described above. All of these products have been successfuly  tested and evaluated in-house, by third-parties and by interested clients and strategic partners. Prototypes may require further modifications based on the test results and client and partner feed-back. However, we have the following products that are completed and finished products, available for sale that we are currently manufacturing and marketing:

The core product, BlastWrap®;

BlastGard® MTR (mitigated trash receptacle);

BlastGard MBR 300 (mitigated bomb receptacle);

BMULD (Blast Mitigated Unit Load Device - LD3 Container);

BATS wall posts for RDFW™ walls, bunkers, overhead protection from mortar and rocket attack for temporary accommodation units and other structure protection products.; and

BATS modules / casings made by Colt Rapid Mat LLC for vehicle IED and land mine protection.

Business Prospects/Recent Developments

Incorporated herein by reference in its entirety is the information contained in “Business Prospects/Recent Developments” under “Business.”


Liquidity and Capital Resources.


At September 30, 2007, we had cash of $1,721,353, working capital of $1,037,843, an accumulated deficit of $10,047,408 and shareholder equity of $1,088,149.  


For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $1,871,638 primarily due to our net loss of $2,860,548. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we used cash in investing activities to purchase property and equipment of $746 and for payment of deferred costs of $16,306. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash was provided by financing activities due to debt proceeds totaling $3,968,810, offset by debt issue costs of $491,648 and principal payments on convertible debt of $251,022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash used in operating activities was $997,235 primarily due to our net loss of $1,603,149. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we used cash in investing activities to purchase property and equipment of $4,761 and for payment of deferred costs of $45,322.


At December 31, 2006, we had cash of $12,293, a retained deficit of $7,185,365 and a shareholder deficit $1,074,143.  During 2006, net cash was used in operating activities of $1,322,276. This resulted primarily from our net loss of $2,451,476, partially reduced by a stock based compensation non-cash charge of $673,159 and depreciation and amortization of $165,808.  During 2006, net cash was used in investing activities of $4,989, primarily to purchase property and equipment.


At December 31, 2005, we had cash of $361,225, a retained deficit of $4,733,889 and a shareholder deficit $407,120.  During 2005, net cash was used in operating activities of $1,397,591.  This resulted primarily from our net loss of $1,771,306, partially reduced by a stock based compensation non-cash charge of $253,750 and depreciation and amortization of $194,691.  During 2005, net cash was used in investing activities of $62,472, primarily to purchase property and equipment of $46,449.


We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to finance our accounts receivable and inventories, and from the need to fund our growth from operations, current debt obligations and capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements is expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional capital from the sale of equity and/or debt securities. While we secured approximately $4,000,000 through an equity financing in April/May 2007, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or obtain additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, to remain a going concern. In this respect, see “Note 1 – Going Concern” in our financial statements for additional information as to the possibility that we may not be able to continue as a “going concern.”


At September 30, 2007, we have cash of $1,721,353 and we owed $600,000 pursuant to our June 2006 Debt and approximately $1,000,000 pursuant to our December 2004 Debt. In October 2007, we reduced our monthly cash budget from an average of approximately $210,000 to an estimated $180,000. In the absence of significant revenues or debt conversions, the Company will not have sufficient cash to meet its obligations to pay the holders of the December 2004 Debt when it comes due on March 20, 2008 or the holders of the June 2006 Debt when it becomes due and payable in June 2008.  Robert F. Rose Investments and certain other non-affiliated parties (collective the “Purchasers”) entered into an agreement with the holders of the June 2006 Debt to purchase the remaining June 2006 Debt from the debt holders, which transaction is personally guaranteed by Mr. Rose.  Upon the completion of said transaction, the Purchasers had agreed to automatically convert their Jun e 2006 Debt into shares of our Common Stock at $.30 per share.  To date, the Purchasers have closed on $795,000 of the $1,200,000 and the June 2006 Debt has been reduced in principal to $405,000. While it is outstanding,  we continue to make interest payments on the June 2006 Debt. We estimate that we will require at least an additional $2,400,000 in additional financing and cash flow from operations to support our operations and to meet our debt obligations as they become due and payable over the next 15 months of operations. We can provide no assurances that cash generated from operations will occur or additional financing will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, or that additional debt conversions will occur.

To date, we have relied on management’s ability to raise capital through equity private placement financings to fund our operations. We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to finance our accounts receivable and inventories, and from the need to fund our growth from operations, current debt obligations and capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional capital from the sale of equity and/or debt securities.


2007 Private Placement and Related Agreements


Between April 20, 2007 and May 4, 2007, the Company completed two concurrent Offerings and raised a total of $3,968,810 as described below.


The Company sold 11,529,368 units, each unit consisting of one share of its unregistered Common Stock at $.30 per share and one-half warrant, with a full warrant exercisable at $.45 per share in an offshore offering to non-US Persons through D &D Securities Company, its placement agent. The offering raised $3,458,810 in gross proceeds through the issuance of 11,529,368 shares and 5,764,684 warrants.  In addition, the Company issued broker warrants to purchase 1,322,937 units. Exemption from registration is claimed under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


The Company also sold 1,700,000 shares of its unregistered Common Stock at $.30 per share and issued 850,000 warrants exercisable at $.45 per share, pursuant to a Regulation D offering. The offering raised $510,000 in gross proceeds. Exemption from registration is claimed under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All of the aforementioned securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The securities sold pursuant to its concurrent plans of financing contain certain registration rights and penalty warrants for failure to meet certain registration or trading conditions by October 15, 2007. Since the Company did not register these securities or have them listed on one of two Canadian Exchanges by October 15, 2007, the Company issued to each inv estor an additional 10% in shares of Common Stock and an additional 10% Warrants on what they purchased in the 2007 Private Placement.

In March 2007, we entered into a new Waiver and Modification Agreement with the holders of the December 2004 Debt. Pursuant to said agreement, they waived their right of first refusal to participate in our recently completed financing. Further, the holders of the December 2004 Debt agreed to extend the maturity date of their notes to March 20, 2008 and to refrain for a period of ten months from March 20, 2007 from taking any action to foreclose on its security interest unless the holders, in their sole discretion, determined that the securities are in danger of being compromised. The holders of the December 2004 Debt also agreed to reduce the exercise price and call price of their Class F Warrants to $.50 per share and $.73 per share, respectively, and to waive any increase in the number of warrant shares that would otherwise be called for pursuant to the Class F Warrants. In addition, such holders agreed with us to lower the exercise price of their Class A and Class B Warrants to $.45 per share (and the conversion price of their notes to $.30 per share). The new Waiver and Modification Agreement became effective on April 20, 2007.  Source Capital Group and its related persons, each of whom own Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Warrants agreed to modify the exercise price of each series of Warrants to $.45 per share, the Class F Warrants to $.50 per share with a call price of $.73 per share and to waive any increase in the number of warrant shares that would otherwise be called for pursuant to each class of Warrants. Source Capital also waived its rights of first refusal in connection with our recently completed 2007 financing.


In April 2007, the holders of the June 2006 Debt agreed to waive their right of first refusal in connection with our recently completed offerings in exchange for 150,000 restricted shares of Common Stock with “piggyback” registration rights contemporaneously with their entering into the April 2007 Agreement.  As a result of the financing above, the conversion price of the June 2006 debt and the exercise price of C, D, E and F warrants held by the holders of the 2006 debt were adjusted to $0.30 per share and the number of warrants were adjusted from 1,200,000 for Class C & D, 600,000 for Class E and 1,066,666 for Class F to 4,000,000 for Class C & E, 6,000,000 for Class D and 2,666,667 for Class F.  The increase in the number of warrants was in an inverse relation to the decrease in the exercise price.  Pursuant to an agreement dated August 7, 2007, the holders of the June 2007 Debt agreed to retroactively cancel the increase in the numb er of warrant shares effective April 20, 2007 and to adjust the exercise prices of the Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Warrants to $.45, $.45, $.45 and $.50 per share, respectively, and to adjust the call price of the Class F Warrants to $.73 per share.  Effective August 7, 2007, the holders of the June 2007 Debt also agreed to cancel all of their Class D and Class E Warrants, thereby reducing the number of Warrants held by them to 1,200,000 Class C Warrants and 1,066,666 Class F Warrants. On the same date, the holder of June 2006 Debt entered into agreements which had the following affect:


·

to sell their Class C and Class F Warrants and June 2006 Debt to certain non-affiliated parties;

·

to terminate Andrew McKinnon’s (currently BlastGard’s Chief Executive Officer) prior obligation to purchase the aforementioned securities; and

·

to have a first closing occur on August 8, 2008 as to one-half  the securities and a second closing to occur no later than September 22, 2007. The purchasers of the June 2006 Debt agreed to convert their Debentures into shares of our Common Stock at $.30 per share effective at each closing. As of November 30, 2007, closings have occurred on two-thirds of the securities subject to contract, thereby reducing our outstanding June 2006 Debt to a principal amount of $405,000.


During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company borrowed $97,000 against its $100,000 credit line, which was secured by its Chief Financial Officer. In April 2007, the Company retired this short-term loan.

Other Recent Financings


December 2004 Debt Financing

In December 2004, we raised $1,420,000 from five investors in a convertible debt financing, and issued to the investor’s secured convertible notes due October 31, 2007 and common stock purchase warrants.  The notes each bear an interest rate of 8% per annum. Aggregate monthly payments of 1.2% of the principal amount were due commencing November 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006, then aggregate monthly payments of 3% of the principal amount were scheduled for payment commencing May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006, and then aggregate monthly payments of 6% of the principal amount were scheduled for payment commencing November 1, 2006 through October 31, 2007. Payments are applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. The balance of the unpaid principal and any unpaid interest is due on October 31, 2007. In June 2006, the holders of the December 2004 debt agreed to modify their rights t o receive interest only from June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007 and thereafter to resume the original payment schedule from June 1, 2007 through the due date of their notes on October 31, 2007. The note holders have the right, at their option, to convert the principal amount of the note, together with all accrued interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of and upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in the note, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock at as adjusted conversion price of $.75 per share, subject to further adjustment in certain circumstances if the notes are then outstanding, such as a stock split, combination or dividend; or in the event we issue shares of common stock for consideration of less than the exercise price. On March 16, 2006, the exercise price of the notes was originally reduced from $1.50 per share to $1.00 per share as we failed to achieve gross revenues of at least $15 million or net profits of at least $1 million fo r the year ended December 31, 2005 and on June 22, 2006, the conversion price was reduced to $.75 per share. On April 20, 2007, the conversion price of the notes was reduced to $.30 per share.

We can require the holders of the December 2004 debt to convert their notes into shares of common stock if a registration statement for the resale of the underlying shares is effective and the common stock has traded above $2.50 per shares for ten consecutive days. The amount that the holders can be required to convert is limited to the aggregate dollar volume traded over the past seven trading days (pro-rated among all holders), but no holder is required to convert an amount that result in the holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock on the date of conversion. The notes are secured by all of the assets of BlastGard® International, Inc, and its wholly-owed subsidiary, BlastGard Technologies, Inc., until the notes have been fully paid or fully converted into common stock.

Also in connection with the December 2004 debt, we issued the note holders two types of warrants to acquire shares of our common stock. We issued to the investors “Class A” Common Stock Purchase Warrants which entitle the investors to acquire an aggregate of 473,336 shares of our common stock currently exercisable at a price of $.45 per share through December 2009 and contain a “cashless exercise” provision that applies only in the event that a registration statement for the resale of the shares is not effective.

We also issued to the investors “Class B” Common Stock Purchase Warrants entitling them to acquire an aggregate of 141,999 shares of our common stock currently exercisable at a price of $.45 per share through December 2007 and contain a “cashless exercise” provision that applies only in the event that a registration statement for the resale of the shares is not effective.

Andrew Garrett, Inc., acted as placement agent in this transaction. The placement agent was paid a cash fee of $99,400, which represented 7% of the gross proceeds. Andrew Garrett is also entitled to a 5% fee upon exercise of warrants by the investors, if any. We also issued the placement agent a warrant to acquire an aggregate of 82,834 shares of our common stock currently exercisable at a price of $.45 per share, and a warrant to acquire 4,970 shares of our common stock currently exercisable at a price of $.45 per share. The placement agent’s warrants are exercisable for a period of five years and contain a “cashless exercise” provision that applies only in the event that a registration statement for the resale of the shares is not effective.

In addition, such holders agreed with us to lower the exercise price o f their Class A and Class B Warrants to $.45 per share (and the conversion price of their notes to $.30 per share). The new Waiver and Modification Agreement became effective on April 20, 2007.

June 2006 Debt Financing

On June 22, 2006, we entered into a series of simultaneous transactions with two investors, whereby we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000 due June 22, 2008 and issued to the investors subordinated convertible 8% notes (secured by the assets of our company and subsidiary) and we issued the following series of warrants:

(i)

Five-year Class C warrants purchasing an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares originally exercisable at $1.00 per share;

(ii)

Five-year Class D warrants purchasing an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares originally exercisable at $1.50 per share;

(iii)

Five-year Class E warrants to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares originally exercisable at $2.00 per share; and

 (iv)

Five-year Class F warrants purchasing an aggregate of 1,066,666 shares originally exercisable at $.75 per share. The Class F warrants were originally redeemable at a nominal price under certain circumstances if the volume weighted average price for our common stock is at least $1.10 for ten consecutive trading days. The Class C warrants, Class D warrants, Class E warrants and Class F warrants contain anti-dilution protection in the case of stock splits, dividends, combinations, reclassifications and the like and in the event that we sell common stock below the applicable exercise price. The warrants also contain immediate registration rights and cashless exercise provisions in the event that there is no current registration statement commencing one year after issuance. An additional 666,667 Class F warrants were issued in connection with this transaction to the holders of our December 2004 debt to consent to this financing transaction and to agree to modify certain of their existing rights.

The aforementioned notes and warrants are protected against dilution in the event of certain events including, without limitation, the sale of common stock below the applicable conversion or exercise price as the case may be.

In April 2007, the then holders of the June 2006 Debt agreed to waive their right of first refusal in connection with our recently completed offerings in exchange for 150,000 restricted shares of Common Stock with “piggyback” registration rights contemporaneously with their entering into the April 2007 Agreement.

Source Capital Group, Inc. acted as a finder in connection with the June 2006 transaction. Source Capital was paid 25,000 shares of restricted common stock, a cash fee of $72,000, which represents 6% of the gross proceeds and a 6% fee of each class of warrants issued in connection with the June 2006 debt financing, which warrants were issued by us and not deducted from those issued to any other party.   Each Class of their Warrants are presently exercisable at $.45 per share except for the Class F Warrants which are exercisable and callable at $.50 and $.73, respectively.

Registration Statements

Our recent debt and equity financings are described above. We have in the past and currently relied principally on external financing to maintain our company as a going concern. All of our assets have been used as collateral to secure our indebtedness. Among the many risks of our business and an investment in our company, is the possibility that we will not be able to meet our obligations as they come due and remain as a going concern. We have also agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale by the holders of the June 2006 debt, the number of shares of common stock issuable to them upon conversion of their notes and exercise of their warrants (the obligation to the holders of the June 2006 Debt are collectively referred to as the “Registrable Securities”), as well as to register for resale by Source Capital (and its transferees) and the holders of the December 2004 debt, the shares of common stock issuable upon exerc ise of their warrants.  In September 2006, we obtained an effective registration statement pertaining to (i) a portion of the Registrable Securities, including the (x) shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the June 2006 Debt based upon a conversion price of $.75 per share and (y) warrant shares underlying the (x) Class C and Class F Warrants held by the holders of the June 2006 Debt and (ii) all shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by Source Capital (and its transferees).  In September 2006, an amended agreement was entered into by and among the Company and the holders of the June 2006 Debt. This amendment requires us to register with the SEC the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D and Class E Warrants and an additional 30% of the original Registrable Securities (as defined) upon receipt, in writing, of a written demand from such persons holding at least 51% of the outstanding Registrable Securities. To date, no such written demand has been received by us. Our original Registration Rights Agreement with the holders of the 2006 Debt (except as otherwise amended) requires us to maintain an effective Registration Statement pertaining to all Registrable Securities until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, or may be sold, without volume restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”). If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 90% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then we are required to file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the 30th day following the date on which we first know, or should reasonably have known, that such additional Registration Statement is required, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the holders of not less than 130% of the number of such Registrable Securities. The agr eement further provides that we may require each selling holder of Registrable Securities to furnish us a certified statement as to the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each holder and that during any period that we are unable to meet our obligations under the Registration Statement for the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any holder fails to furnish us information within three trading days of our request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time to such selling holder only shall be tolled and that any event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such holder only, until such information is delivered to us.


This Prospectus is part of a Registration Statement which acts as a post-effective amendment to our Registration Statement that became effective in May 2006 and relates to 556,170 shares to be continuously offered by Selling Security Holders plus the new registration of 21,978,462 outstanding common shares recently issued to the then holders of the June 2006 Debt in connection with its waiver of a right of first refusal as described herein.

We have no standing or nominating committees of the Board of Directors or committees performing similar functions. In February 2006, we established a Compensation Committee and Audit Committee and in March 2007, we established a Management Committee.

 

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of its members, namely, James F. Gordon, Joel Gold and one vacancy due to the resignation of Arnold I. Burns. Our Compensation Committee has such powers and functions as may be assigned to it by the Board of Directors from time to time; however, such functions shall, at a minimum, include the following:

to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to senior executive compensation, evaluate senior executive performance in light of those goals and objectives, and to set the senior executive compensation levels based on this evaluation;

to approve employment contracts of its officers and employees and consulting contracts of other persons;

to make recommendations to the Board with respect to incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans, including, without limitation, the Company’s stock options plans; and

to administer the Company’s stock option plans and grant stock options or other awards pursuant to such plans.

Audit Committee

The members of our audit committee consist of Joel Gold. Management believes that Mr. Gold is an independent director and that Mr. Gold may be deemed to be a “Financial Expert” within the meaning of Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, as amended. The definition of “independent director” is defined in Rule 4200(a)(14) of the NASD’s Listing Standards. The NASD’s listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of the Company, who does not have a relationship with the Company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. The term “Financial Expert” is defined as a person who has the following attributes: an understanding of generally accepted accounting principals and financial statements; has the ability to assess the general application of such principals in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and r eserves; experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities; an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and an understanding of audit committee functions.

Effective February 16, 2006, the Board adopted a written charter for its Audit Committee. The charter includes, among other things:

annually reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of the committee’s formal charter;

reviewing the annual audited financial statements with the Company’s management and its independent auditors and the adequacy of its internal accounting controls;

reviewing analyses prepared by the Company’s management and independent auditors concerning significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of its financial statements;

being directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent auditor, which shall report directly to the Audit Committee, including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditors regarding financial reporting for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

reviewing the independence of the independent auditors;

 

reviewing the Company’s auditing and accounting principles and practices with the independent auditors and reviewing major changes to its auditing and accounting principles and practices as suggested by the independent auditor or its management;

reviewing all related party transactions on an ongoing basis for potential conflict of interest situations; and

all responsibilities given to the Audit Committee by virtue of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (which was signed into law by President George W. Bush on July 30, 2002) and all amendments thereto.


Management Committee

In March 2007, our Board of Directors established a Management Committee and adopted a written charter. The members of our Management Committee consist of James F. Gordon, John L. Waddell, Jr. and Andrew R. McKinnon. The charter includes, among other things, the following responsibilities of the Management Committee:

·

Administer the business of the Corporation and generally supervise its day-to-day activities.

·

Control and manage the funds and other property of the Corporation and have general oversight of business matters affecting the Corporation, consistent with the strategic directions established by the Board of Directors.

Reflects the dollar amount expensed by the Company during 2006 for financial statement reporting purposes. Stock award expense recognized during the period is based on the value of share-based awards that are expected to vest during the period. Stock award expense in 2006 includes compensation expense for the share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R.  2006 stock award also includes expense for the share-based awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, but vested subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in determining the estimated fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding certain highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.


Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25. Under the intrinsic value method that was used to account for stock-based awards prior to January 1, 2006, which had been allowed under the original provisions of SFAS 123, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the option’s exercise price.


(2)    Reflects dollar amount expensed by the company during applicable fiscal year for financial statement reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 123R.  FAS 123R requires the company to record its options at fair market value as of the date of grant and doing so, we utilize the Black-Scholes method of valuation, and to then expense that value over the service period over which the options become exercisable (vest).  As a general rule, for time-in-service-based options, the company will immediately expense any option or portion thereof which is vested upon grant, while expensing the balance on a pro rata basis over the remaining vesting term of the option.  For a description FAS 123 R and the assumptions used in determining the value of the options under the Black-Scholes model of valuation, see the notes to the financial statements included with this Prospectus.

(3)    Excludes awards or earnings reported in preceding columns.

Includes all other compensation not reported in the preceding columns, including (i) perquisites and other personal benefits, or property, unless the aggregate amount of such compensation is less than $10,000; (ii) any “gross-ups” or other amounts reimbursed during the fiscal year for the payment of taxes; (iii) discounts from market price with respect to securities purchased from the company except to the extent available generally to all security holders or to all salaried employees; (iv) any amounts paid or accrued in connection with any termination (including without limitation through retirement, resignation, severance or constructive termination, including change of responsibilities) or change in control; (v) contributions to vested and unvested defined contribution plans; (vi) any insurance premiums paid by, or on behalf of, the company relating to life insurance for the benefit of the director; (vii ) any consulting fees earned, or paid or payable; (viii) any annual costs of payments and promises of payments pursuant to a director legacy program and similar charitable awards program; and (ix) any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards that are not factored into the grant date fair value required to be reported in a preceding column.

2005 Employee and Consulting Compensation Plan

On November 30, 2005, we established an Employee Benefit and Consulting Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”) covering 5,000,000 shares.  Since stockholder approval of the 2005 Plan will not be obtained by November 30, 2006, then no Incentive Stock Options may be granted after that date under the 2005 Plan. As of November 30, 2007, there were non-statutory stock options to purchase 3,420,000 shares outstanding under the 2005 Plan, excluding cancelled options at an average exercise price of $.84 per share.

Table of Contents


Administration


Our Board of Directors, Compensation Committee or both, in the sole discretion of our Board, administer the 2005 Plan. The Board, subject to the provisions of the 2005 Plan, has the authority to determine and designate officers, employees, directors and consultants to whom awards shall be made and the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to each award (including, but not limited to, the option price, any restriction or limitation, any vesting schedule or acceleration thereof, and any forfeiture restrictions). The Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of awards. The Board of Directors must approve all grants of Options and Stock Awards issued to our officers or directors.   


Types of Awards


The 2005 Plan is designed to enable us to offer certain officers, employees, directors and consultants of us and our subsidiaries equity interests in us and other incentive awards in order to attract, retain and reward such individuals and to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such individuals and our stockholders. In furtherance of this purpose, the 2005 Plan contains provisions for granting non-statutory stock options (and originally incentive stock options which have now become non-statutory stock options) and Common Stock Awards.  


Stock Options


 A “stock option” is a contractual right to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock at a price determined on the date the option is granted.  The option price per share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a stock option and the time or times at which such options shall be exercisable shall be determined by the Board at the time of grant. Such option price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The option price must be paid in cash, money order, check or Common Stock of the Company. The Options may also contain at the time of grant, at the discretion of the Board, certain other cashless exercise provisions.


Options shall be exercisable at the times and subject to the conditions determined by the Board at the date of grant, but no option may be exercisable more than ten years after the date it is granted. If the Optionee ceases to be an employee of our company for any reason other than death, any option granted as an incentive stock option exercisable on the date of the termination of employment may be exercised for a period of thirty days or until the expiration of the stated term of the option, whichever period is shorter. In the event of the Optionee’s death, any option originally granted as an incentive stock option exercisable at the date of death may be exercised by the legal heirs of the Optionee from the date of death until the expiration of the stated term of the option or six months from the date of death, whichever event first occurs.  In the event of disability of the Optionee, any Options granted as an incen tive stock option shall expire on the stated date that the Option would otherwise have expired or 12 months from the date of disability, whichever event first occurs.  The termination and other provisions of a non-statutory stock option shall be fixed by the Board of Directors at the date of grant of each respective option.  


Common Stock Award


“Common Stock Award” are shares of Common Stock that will be issued to a recipient at the end of a restriction period, if any, specified by the Board if he or she continues to be an employee, director or consultant of us. If the recipient remains an employee, director or consultant at the end of the restriction period, the applicable restrictions will lapse and we will issue a stock certificate representing such shares of Common Stock to the participant. If the recipient ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of us for any reason (including death, disability or retirement) before the end of the restriction period unless otherwise determined by the Board, the restricted stock award will be terminated.


Eligibility


Our officers, employees, directors and consultants of BlastGard® International and our subsidiaries are eligible to be granted stock options, and Common Stock Awards. Eligibility shall be determined by the Board; however, all Options and Stock Awards granted to officers and directors must be approved by the Board.

Table of Contents


Termination or Amendment of the 2005 Plan


The Board may at any time amend, discontinue, or terminate all or any part of the 2005 Plan, provided, however, that unless otherwise required by law, the rights of a participant may not be impaired without his or her consent, and provided that we will seek the approval of our stockholders for any amendment if such approval is necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws or rules or regulations.

Awards

To date, no options to purchase common shares have been exercised under the 2005 Plan. Unless sooner terminated, the 2005 Plan will expire on November 30, 2015 and no awards may be granted after that date. It is not possible to predict the individuals who will receive future awards under the 2005 Plan or the number of shares of Common Stock covered by any future award because such awards are wholly within the discretion of the Board. The table below contains information as of August 30, 2007 on the known benefits provided to certain persons and group of persons under the 2005 Plan.

Other Transactions

December 2004 Debt

In December 2004, we raised $1,420,000 from five investors in a convertible debt financing, and issued to the investors, secured convertible notes due October 31, 2007 and common stock purchase warrants.



60



Table of Contents


The notes each bear an interest rate of 8% per annum. Aggregate monthly payments of 1.2% of the principal amount were due commencing November 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006, then aggregate monthly payments of 3% of the principal amount were scheduled for payment commencing May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006, and then aggregate monthly payments of 6% of the principal amount were scheduled for payment commencing November 1, 2006 through October 31, 2007. Payments are applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. The balance of the unpaid principal and any unpaid interest is due on October 31, 2007. In June 2006, the holders of the December 2004 debt agreed to modify their rights to receive interest only from June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007 and thereafter to resume the original payment schedule from June 1, 2007 through the due date of their notes on October 31, 2007. The no te holders have the right, at their option, to convert the principal amount of the note, together with all accrued interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of and upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in the note, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock at as adjusted conversion price of $.75 per share, subject to further adjustment in certain circumstances if the notes are then outstanding, such as a stock split, combination or dividend; or in the event we issue shares of common stock for consideration of less than the exercise price. On March 16, 2006, the exercise price of the notes was originally reduced from $1.50 per share to $1.00 per share as we failed to achieve gross revenues of at least $15 million or net profits of at least $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. On June 22, 2006, the conversion price was reduced to $.75 per share and on April 20, 2007, the conversion price was reduced to $.30 per share.

We can require the holders of the December 2004 debt to convert their notes into shares of common stock if a registration statement for the resale of the underlying shares is effective and the common stock has traded above $2.50 per shares for ten consecutive days. The amount that the holders can be required to convert is limited to the aggregate dollar volume traded over the past seven trading days (pro-rated among all holders), but no holder is required to convert an amount that result in the holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock on the date of conversion. The notes are secured by all of the assets of BlastGard® International, Inc, and its wholly-owed subsidiary, BlastGard Technologies, Inc., until the notes have been fully paid or fully converted into common stock.

Also in connection with the December 2004 debt, we issued the note holders two types of warrants to acquire shares of our common stock. We issued to the investors “Class A” Common Stock Purchase Warrants which entitle the investors to acquire an aggregate of 473,336 shares of our common stock currently exercisable at a price of $.45 per share through December 2009 and contain a “cashless exercise” provision that applies only in the event that a registration statement for the resale of the shares is not effective.

We also issued to the investors “Class B” Common Stock Purchase Warrants entitling them to acquire an aggregate of 141,999 shares of our common stock exercisable at a price of $.45 per share through December 3, 2007. These Class B Warrants expired unexercised on December 3, 2007.

Andrew Garrett, Inc., acted as placement agent in this transaction. The placement agent was paid a cash fee of $99,400, which represented 7% of the gross proceeds. Andrew Garrett is also entitled to a 5% fee upon exercise of warrants by the investors, if any. We also issued the placement agent a five-year warrant to acquire an aggregate of 82,834 shares of our common stock currently exercisable at a price of $.45 per share, and a three-year warrant to acquire 4,970 shares of our common stock exercisable at a price of $.45 per share. The three-year Warrants expired on December 3, 2007.


The following table sets forth, with respect to each holder of December 2004 debt, the amount due under the convertible promissory note as of November 30, 2007 and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of warrants owned by them. We have registered herein for resale the common stock underlying the Class A Warrants described below. The Class B Warrants described below expired on December 3, 2007.

These warrants were issued to holders of December 2004 Debt in connection with our issuance of the June 2006 Debt and the modification of certain rights held by the holders of the December 2004 Debt.


 In March 2007, we entered into a new Waiver and Modification Agreement with the holders of the December 2004 Debt. Pursuant to said agreement, they waived their right of first refusal to participate in our planned financing to raise up to $6,000,000. Further, the holders of the December 2004 Debt agreed to extend the maturity date of their notes to March 20, 2008 and to refrain for a period of ten months from March 20, 2007 from taking any action to foreclose on its security interest unless the holders, in their sole discretion, determined that the securities are in danger of being compromised. The holders of the December 2004 Debt also agreed to reduce the exercise price of their Series F Warrants to $.50 per share and to waive any increase in the number of warrant shares that would otherwise be called for pursuant to the Warrant. In addition, such holders agreed with us to lower the exercise price of their Class A and Class B Warrants to $.45 per share (and the conversion price of their notes to $.30 per share). The new Waiver and Modification Agreement became effective on April 20, 2007.


June 2006 Debt

On June 22, 2006, we entered into a series of simultaneous transactions with two investors, whereby we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000 due June 22, 2008 and issued to the investors subordinated convertible 8% notes (secured by the assets of our company and subsidiary) and we issued the following series of warrants:

(i)

Five-year Class C warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares originally exercisable at $1.00 per share;

(ii)

Five-year Class D warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares originally exercisable at $1.50 per share;

(iii)

Five-year Class E warrants to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares originally exercisable at $2.00 per share; and

(iv)

Five-year Class F warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,066,666 shares originally exercisable at $.75 per share. The class F warrants were redeemable at a nominal price under certain circumstances if the volume weighted average price for our common stock is at least $1.10 for ten consecutive trading days. The Class C warrants, Class D warrants, Class E warrants and Class F warrants contain anti-dilution protection in the case of stock splits, dividends, combinations, reclassifications and the like and in the event that we sell common stock below the applicable exercise price. The warrants also contain immediate registration rights and cashless exercise provisions in the event that there is no current registration statement commencing one year after issuance. An additional 666,667 Class F warrants were issued in connection with this transaction to the holders of our December 2004 debt to consent to this financing transaction and to agree to modify certain of their existing rights.

Table of Contents


The notes issued on June 22, 2006 bear an interest rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, in stock or cash at our discretion, in registered Common Stock, at 90% of the average of the 10 days volume weighted average price immediately prior to the interest payment date as long as the stock price is not below the conversion price.


In April 2007, the holders of the June 2006 Debt agreed to waive their right of first refusal in connection with our recently completed offerings in exchange for 150,000 restricted shares of Common Stock with “piggyback” registration rights contemporaneously with their entering into the April 2007 Agreement.  As a result of the financing above, the conversion price of the June 2006 debt and the exercise price of C, D, E and F warrants held by the holders of the June 2006 debt were adjusted to $0.30 per share and the number of warrants were adjusted from 1,200,000 for Class C & D, 600,000 for Class E and 1,066,666 for Class F to 4,000,000 for Class C & E, 6,000,000 for Class D and 2,666,667 for Class F.  The increase in the number of warrants was in an inverse relation to the decrease in the exercise price.  Pursuant to an agreement dated August 7, 2007, the holders of the June 2007 Debt agreed to retroactively cancel the increase in the number of warrant shares effective April 20, 2007 and to adjust the exercise prices of the Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Warrants to $.45, $.45, $.45 and $.50 per share, respectively, and to adjust the call price of the Class F Warrants to $.73 per share.  Effective August 7, 2007, the holders of the June 2007 Debt also agreed to cancel all of their Class D and Class E Warrants, thereby reducing the number of Warrants held by them to 1,200,000 Class C Warrants and 1,066,666 Class F Warrants. On the same date, the then holders of June 2006 Debt entered into agreements which had the following affect:


·

to sell their Class C and Class F Warrants and June 2006 Debt to certain non-affiliated parties;


·

to terminate Andrew McKinnon’s (BlastGard’s Chief Executive Officer) prior obligation to purchase the aforementioned securities; and

·

to have a first closing occur on August 8, 2008 as to one-have the securities and a second closing to occur no later than September 22, 2007. The purchasers of the June 2006 Debt agreed to convert their Debentures into shares of our Common Stock at $.30 per share effective at each closing. As of November 30, 2007, closings have occurred on approximately two-thirds of the securities resulting in a reduction of the principal amount of outstanding June 2006 Debt from $1,200,000 to $405,000.

In April 2007, the then holders of the June 2006 Debt agreed to waive their right of first refusal in connection with our recently completed offerings in exchange for 150,000 restricted shares of Common Stock with “piggyback” registration rights contemporaneously with their entering into the April 2007 Agreement.

Source Capital Group, Inc. acted as a finder in connection with this transaction. Source Capital was paid 25,000 shares of restricted common stock, a cash fee of $72,000, which represents 6% of the gross proceeds and a 6% fee of each class of warrants issued in connection with the June 2006 debt financing, which warrants were issued by us and not deducted from those issued to any other party. The following table sets forth with respect to each person the number of shares underlying warrants issued to Source Capital and its associated persons.

We are registering shares for resale by the selling security holders in accordance with the registration rights granted to the selling security holders. We will pay the registration and filing fees, printing expenses, listing fees, blue sky fees, if any, and fees and disbursements of our counsel in connection with this offering, but the selling security holders will pay any underwriting discounts, selling commissions and similar expenses relating to the sale of the shares, as well as the fees and expenses of their counsel. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify the selling security holders and certain affiliated parties, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the offering. Certain selling security holders have agreed to indemnify us against certain losses. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors or officers, or persons con trolling our Company, we have been informed 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.

We will file a prospectus supplement to name any successors to any named selling security holder who are able to use the prospectus to resell the securities.

All of the shares being registered for resale by the selling security holders were acquired from the Company in private placement transactions from a non-affiliated third party, which are summarized under “Certain Transactions” under the heading  “June 2006 Debt.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Security Holder of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Security Holder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer 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 the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.

Table of Contents


In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling security holders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling security holders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented o r amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling security holders who are each a broker/dealer or affiliated with a broker/dealer and are each an underwriter, include the following:   (i) Steven Gold is the son of Joel Gold, who is affiliated with Andrew Garrett, Inc., a broker/dealer; and (ii) Matthew Sullivan, Jamie Mitchell, Revan R. Schwartz and Andrew G. Sycoff  who are also registered representatives of Andrew Garrett.   Each of the aforementioned persons purchased his or its registered shares in the ordinary course of his or its business and at the time of his or its purchase, he or it had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute his or its registered shares.

All other selling security holders not named in the preceding paragraph and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares on behalf of all selling security holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Security Holder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling security holders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because certain selling security holders identified above are underwriters and other selling security holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling security holders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling security holders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling security holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling security holders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

BlastGard International, Inc. is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of its common stock, $.001 par value, and 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share. As of November 30, 2007, there were 39,136,553 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of common stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock will be able to elect the entire Board of Directors and, if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors.

Shareholders have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock or other securities. The common stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of liquidation of our company, the shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities.

The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 1,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share. The preferred stock may be divided into and issued in one or more series as may be determined by resolution of the board of directors. The board of directors is authorized, without any further action by the shareholders, to determine dividend rates, liquidation preferences, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions, conversion rights, voting rights, and other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any wholly unissued series of preferred stock and the number of shares constituting any such series. In addition, such preferred stock could have other rights, including voting and economic rights senior to the common stock so that the issuance of such preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of the common stock. The creation of one or more series of preferred stock also may have the effect of delaying, def erring or preventing a change in control of our company without any action by shareholders.

INDEMNIFICATION DISCLOSURE FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

We have directors and officers liability insurance with an aggregate limit of liability (inclusive of defense costs) of $2 million. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the company pursuant to the Colorado Business Corporation Act or the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for the indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the company 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 company 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders:

Blastgard International, Inc.


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


We have audited the balance sheet of Blastgard International, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.  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 audits 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blastgard International, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses, has used significant cash in support of its operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Further information and management’s plans in regard to this uncertainty are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BLASTGARD INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements


(1)

Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization and Basis of Presentation


Blastgard International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 26, 2003 as Blastgard Technologies, Inc. (“BTI”) in the State of Florida.  The Company creates, designs, develops and markets proprietary blast mitigation materials.  The Company’s patent-pending BlastWrap® technology effectively mitigates blast effects and suppresses post-blast fires.  The Company sub-contracts the manufacturing of products to licensed and qualified production facilities.


The Company went public through a shell merger on January 31, 2004.  On March 31, 2004, the Company changed its name to Blastgard International, Inc.


Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses, and has negative working capital and a net capital deficiency at December 31, 2006.  These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern.


The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability.  The Company plans to generate the necessary cash flows with increased sales revenue over the next 12 months.  However, should the Company’s sales not provide sufficient cash flow, the Company has plans to raise additional working capital through debt and/or equity financings.  There are currently no formal committed financing arrangements to support the Company’s projected cash shortfall.  There is no assurance the Company will be successful in producing increased sales revenues or obtaining addit ional funding through debt and equity financings.


Development Stage


The Company emerged from the development stage during the year ended December 31, 2005.  Management no longer considers the Company in the development stage as defined by the FASB Statement of Standards No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”


Use of Estimates


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


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.  The Company had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2006.



F-6



Table of Contents


BLASTGARD INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements


Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.  Debt obligations are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the prevailing market rate for similar instruments.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers (mostly government agencies) based in the United States and abroad.  The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2006, management believes an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable in the amount of $3,873 is adequate.


Inventory


Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  Inventory consists of materials used to manufacture the Company’s BlastWrap® product and finished goods ready for sale as follows:


Finished goods

$

247,859

Materials and supplies

 

18,456

Total inventory

$

266,315



Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven years.  Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the year of disposal.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  Statement No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.   If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.

Debt Issue Costs


The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the lives of the related debt.  The straight-line method results in amortization that is not materially different from that calculated under the effective interest method.



F-7



Table of Contents


BLASTGARD INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements


Deferred Costs


Patent and trademark application costs are capitalized as deferred costs.  If a patent or trademark application is denied or expires, the costs incurred are charged to operations in the year the application is denied or expires.  Amortization commences once a patent or trademark is granted.


Revenue Recognition


Sales revenue is recognized upon the shipment of product to customers.  Allowances for sales returns, rebates and discounts are recorded as a component of net sales in the period the allowances are recognized.  


Research and Development


Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.


Advertising


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs of $150,855 and $110,971 were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.


Income Taxes


Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes.


Stock-based Compensation


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment.” Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) we accounted for stock option grants using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for stock option grants.


As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), our income from operations before taxes, net increase in net loss and basic earnings per share were approximately $572,441, and $0.06 lower, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006 than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 for our stock option grants.


The impact on our income from operations before taxes, net increase in net assets, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share had we accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R) in 2005 would have been $263,736, and $0.04 lower, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005. Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard and there is no cumulative effect.

Notes to Financial Statements



The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant, using assumptions for volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company has used one grouping for the assumptions as our option grants are primarily basic with similar characteristics. The expected term of options granted has been derived based upon our history of actual exercise behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Historical data was also used to estimate option exercises and employee terminations. Estimated volatility is based upon our historical market price at consistent points in a period equal to the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and the dividend yield is based on the historical dividend yield.


Pro forma information regarding the results of operations is determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options using the fair-value method. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method.  Pro forma disclosures have been included in Note 5.  


Loss per Common Share


Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents.  Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents.  As of December 31, 2006, there were 3,825,750 vested common stock options outstanding, which were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share-diluted because they were antidilutive.  Also excluded from the calculation of net loss per share-diluted were 953,139 outstanding common stock warrants, which would also be antidilutive.  In addition, at December 31, 2006 the Company had 5,970,472 warrants outstanding issued in connection with convertible promissory notes that were convertible into approximately 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Shares issued resulting from the conversion would also be antidilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155 (SFAS 155), Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and No. 140. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement.  The adoption of SFAS 155 is expected to affect the recording of future convertible deb t. The Company has not revalued any previously issued financial instruments.

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156 (“SFAS 156”), Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, which requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under certain circumstances.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to materially impact our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to materially impact our financial position or results of operations.


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to materially impact our financial position or results of operations


In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.  This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company has not determined the affect of adopting this standard.

Each note carries a default interest rate of 15% per annum. Aggregate monthly payments of 1.2% of the principal amount are due commencing November 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006, then aggregate monthly payments of 3% of the principal amount are due commencing May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006, and then aggregate monthly payments of 6% of the principal amount are due commencing November 1, 2006 through October 31, 2007. However, as a result of the June 22, 2006 debt financing, the payment arrangements were modified. Monthly payments of interest only (8%) based on the principal amount is due commencing June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007, and then aggregate monthly payments of 6% of the principal amount is due commencing June 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007.  Payments will be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. The balance of the unpaid principal and any unpaid interest is due on October 31, 2007.  All accrued interest had been paid in f ull as of December 31, 2006.


The individual note holders have the right, at their option, to convert the principal amount of the note, together with all accrued interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of and upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in the note, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $.75 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances if the notes are then outstanding, such as a stock split, combination or dividend; or in the event the Company issues shares of common stock for consideration of less than the exercise price.


The Company can require the holders to convert the notes into shares of common stock if a registration statement for the resale of the underlying shares is effective and the common stock has traded above $2.50 per shares for ten consecutive days. The amount that the holders can be required to convert is limited to the aggregate dollar volume traded over the past seven trading days (pro-rated among all holders), but no holder is required to convert an amount that results in the holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock on the date of conversion.

 

The notes are secured by all of the Company’s assets until the notes have been fully paid or fully converted into common stock.

Detachable common stock warrants issued with convertible promissory notes


The fair value of detachable Class “A” and Class “B” warrants issued with the convertible notes was charged to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding discount on the convertible notes payable. The discount is amortized over the life of the debt.  As the discount is amortized, the reported outstanding principal balance of the notes will approach the remaining unpaid value ($1,320,497 at December 31, 2006).


As part of a debt financing conducted in June 2006 (see Note 4), the Company re-priced the warrants and issued and additional 666,667 Class “F” warrants.  The exercise price on the 473,336 Class “A” warrants was reduced from $2.09 to $1.00 per share.  The exercise price on the 141,999 Class “B” warrants was reduced from $3.00 to $1.50 per share.  The fair value of the warrants was increased by $45,630 as follows:

Carrying value of subordinated, convertible notes payable


The conversion of the subordinated, convertible notes payable is fixed at $0.75 per share of the Company’s common stock.  Pursuant to SFAS 133, options embedded in contracts containing the price of a specific equity instrument are not clearly and closely related to an investment in an interest-bearing note and the embedded derivative must be separated from the host contract.  As a result, the Company has bifurcated the option resulting from the conversion feature and has classified it as a derivative liability pursuant to SFAS 133.  The following table presents the allocation of proceeds from the financing:

Derivative Financial Instrument


The Company generally does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. However, certain other financial instruments, such as embedded conversion features, where an embedded option in a debt security contains the price of a specific equity instrument, are bifurcated and are classified as derivative liabilities. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period.

Options are granted at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options generally become fully vested after one year from the date of grant and expire five years from the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we granted 1,600,000 and 745,000 options to purchase shares of common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.48 and $0.80 per option, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $0.37 and $0.80, respectively.


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment.” Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we accounted for stock option grants using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for stock option grants.


Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123(R) applies to new awards granted subsequent to the date of adoption, January 1, 2006. Compensation cost recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation cost for all share based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard, and there is no cumulative effect.


The following table illustrates the impact SFAS 123(R) has had on our net loss and related per share information for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the pro forma effects on our net loss and related per share information for the year ended December 31, 2005 had SFAS 123(R) been in effect in 2005.

Notes to Financial Statements



The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant. The assumptions employed in the calculation of the fair value of share-based compensation expense for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006 were calculated as follows:


  

 

Expected dividend yield — based on the Company’s historical dividend yield.

  

 

Expected volatility — based on the Company’s historical market price at consistent points in a period equal to the expected life of the options.

  

 

Risk-free interest rate — based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

  

 

Expected life of options — calculated using the simplified method as prescribed in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, where the expected life is equal to the sum of the vesting period and the contractual term divided by two.


The following table summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Related Party Transactions


In October 2006, several officers contributed 625,000 back to the company to be issued for a sales consulting agreement.  


In the second quarter of 2006, an officer advanced to the Company on a short-term basis $105,000 for working capital, which was repaid prior to June 30, 2006.  The advances carried no interest rate.


On June 29, 2005, the Company entered into an Advisory Agreement with The November Group Ltd. (“TNG”), an affiliated company (the CEO of The November Group is a director of the Company).  Under the terms of the agreement, TNG will provide the Company with marketing and advisory services in exchange for:


a.

100,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock;

b.

a fee equal to 6% of net revenue paid to the Company by new clients or persons directly introduced by TNG; and

c.

a fee equal to 2.5% of net revenue paid to the Company by any third party not introduced by TNG, if the Company requests in writing TNG’s participation with the relationship.


The 100,000 common shares were issued effective June 29, 2005.  On that date, the traded market value of the common stock was $1.48 per share.  The Company’s Board of Directors valued the issuance at $1.25 per share, the estimated fair value of the transaction, due to the restricted nature of the common stock issued, among other factors.

Notes to Financial Statements


At December 31, 2006, deferred tax assets consisted of a net tax asset of approximately $2,700,000, due to operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,200,000, which was fully allowed for, in the valuation allowance of $2,700,000.  The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 totaled approximately $920,000 and $660,000 respectively.  The current tax benefit also totaled $920,000 and $660,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2006, respectively.  The net operating loss carryforward expires through the year 2026.


The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized.  At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.


Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.

(8)

Concentration of Credit Risk for Cash


The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in a financial institution, which may at times exceed the amounts covered by insurance provided by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  At December 31, 2006 the Company did not have any funds in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.

Commitments and Contingencies


Office Lease


The Company entered into a noncancellable office lease agreement on January 10, 2006. The lease runs from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.  The rent for 2007 is month to month and the rental payments for 2007 are $2,600 per month plus $182 in taxes.  Rental expense for 2006 and 2005 was $30,000 each year.


Litigation


Prisma Capital Markets, LLC


On May 25, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Prisma Capital Markets, LLC, appointing Prisma as an exclusive distributor of our products in Kuwait.  Prisma also agreed to arrange for, and pay the costs and expenses related to, the testing and demonstration of the Company’s products in Kuwait, in exchange for 300,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.  The Company also granted Prisma warrants entitling Prisma to purchase up to 4,401,720 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.062 per share, which would be exercisable only upon Prisma’s meeting various sales goals totaling $30,000,000 in sales.  In July 2004, the Company notified Prisma that the agreement was cancelled due to Prisma’s failure to arrange for the testing of products in Kuwait, and demanded the return of the certificates representing the common stock and the warrants.  In February 2005, the Company filed a laws uit against Prisma in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, for breach of contract, and demanded the return of the securities issued to Prisma and $100,000 in actual damages.  In February 2006, the Company was granted a motion for summary judgment in its favor.  On July 6, 2006, the Company received a court order declaring the cancellation of the 300,000 shares.

Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership


The Company was served with a lawsuit that was filed on September 12, 2005 in the Second Judicial District Court in Washoe County, Nevada as case number CV-05-02072. The plaintiff in the lawsuit is Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership (“Verde”). The lawsuit makes a variety of claims and contends that the Company and certain officers of the Company misappropriated certain technology, including two patents, and seeks damages “in excess of $10,000”.  The action was removed to federal court in Nevada.  A motion was pending to have the case dismissed as to Blastgard International, Inc., and all other defendants, for lack of personal jurisdiction.  There was also a motion pending for a more definite statement in that three of the claims by Verde are conclusory, vague and ambiguous.  


On July 14, 2006, the United States District Court rendered its decision in this case. It was ordered and adjudged that the motion to dismiss the individual defendants and the motion to dismiss the BlastGard defendants was granted. Defendants’ motion for a more definite statement is moot. The Court entered judgment on July 17, 2006 in favor of all Defendants and against the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff had 30 days from the date of the judgment (July 17) to file a notice of appeal. No notice was filed.  


On July 19, 2006, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida. The Defendants in the lawsuit are Sam Gettle, Guy Gettle and Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership (“Verde”). The lawsuit contends that the Defendants have committed defamatory acts against the Company and its products.  The lawsuit also asks for a declaration that the Company is not liable for the acts complained of in the Nevada action.  On the Company’s affirmative claims for defamation, the Florida action seeks injunctive relief and damages in excess of $15,000, exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs.

Q-4



Table of Contents


Each note carries a default interest rate of 15% per annum. Aggregate monthly payments of 1.2% of the principal amount are due commencing November 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006, then aggregate monthly payments of 3% of the principal amount are due commencing May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006, and then aggregate monthly payments of 6% of the principal amount are due commencing November 1, 2006 through October 31, 2007. However, as a result of the June 22, 2006 debt financing, the payment arrangements were modified. Monthly payments of interest only (8%) based on the principal amount is due commencing June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007, and then aggregate monthly payments of 6% of the principal amount is due commencing June 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007.  Payments will be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal. The balance of the unpaid principal and any unpaid interest is due on October 31, 2007.  All accrued interest had been paid in f ull as of September 30, 2007.


The individual note holders have the right, at their option, to convert the principal amount of the note, together with all accrued interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of and upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in the note, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $.30.- $.05 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances if the notes are then outstanding, such as a stock split, combination or dividend; or in the event the Company issues shares of common stock for consideration of less than the exercise price.


The Company can require the holders to convert the notes into shares of common stock if a registration statement for the resale of the underlying shares is effective and the common stock has traded above $2.50 per shares for ten consecutive days. The amount that the holders can be required to convert is limited to the aggregate dollar volume traded over the past seven trading days (pro-rated among all holders), but no holder is required to convert an amount that results in the holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock on the date of conversion.

 

The notes are secured by all of the Company’s assets until the notes have been fully paid or fully converted into common stock.


Detachable common stock warrants issued with convertible promissory notes


The fair value of detachable warrants issued with the convertible notes was charged to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding discount on the convertible notes payable.  The discount is amortized over the life of the debt.  As the discount is amortized, the reported outstanding principal balance of the notes will approach the remaining unpaid value ($999,475 at September 30, 2007).  


As part of a debt financing conducted in April 2007, the Company re-priced all classes of warrants as follows:

Subordinated Convertible Notes Payable


On June 22, 2006, the Company entered into agreements to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000 and to issue to the investors’ subordinated, convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants.  In April 2007, the Company lowered the exercise price on the conversion and the warrants and revalued warrants and the associated discount on the convertible debt. On August 8, 2007, one half of the debt was acquired by unrelated parties.  


These new holders converted their half of the debt to stock at $0.30 per share.  All the holders agreed to unwind the changes made in April to reduce the number of warrants outstanding to previous levels and to reset the exercise price to amounts consistent with the other convertible debt and warrants.  Also, the holders of the 2006 convertible debt agreed to cancel their “D” and “E” warrants.


The Company’s subordinated, convertible promissory notes payable consist of the following at September 30, 2007:


$600,000 subordinated, convertible promissory note

 

     issued June 22, 2006, due on June 22, 2008,

 

     8% annual interest rate, net of unamortized

                   260,367

                 (260,367)

 

 $                        -  


These notes are subordinated to the convertible promissory notes listed above, which are collateralized by all of the Company’s assets until the notes have been fully paid or fully converted into common stock.




Q-6



Table of Contents


The individual note holders have the right, at their option, to convert the principal amount of the note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances if the notes are then outstanding, such as a stock split, combination or dividend; or in the event the Company issues shares of common stock for consideration of less than the exercise price.


Carrying value of subordinated, convertible notes payable


The conversion of the subordinated, convertible notes payable is fixed at $0.30 per share of the Company’s common stock.  Pursuant to SFAS 133, options embedded in contracts containing the price of a specific equity instrument are not clearly and closely related to an investment in an interest-bearing note and the embedded derivative must be separated from the host contract.  At September 30, 2007, one-half of the subordinated convertible notes were still outstanding and were a portion of the warrants.  As a result, the Company has bifurcated the option resulting from the conversion feature and has classified it as a derivative liability pursuant to SFAS 133.  The following table presents the allocation of proceeds from the financing and the subsequent revaluation of the warrants and derivative liability.

The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years.  The additional discount associated with the change above was $92,760.  This change was limited by the value of the underlying debt.


The fair value for the warrants was estimated at the date of revaluation using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


 

 

Risk-free interest rate

4.54%

Dividend yield

0.00%

Volatility factor

116.16%

Weighted average expected life

 2.0 years 


The warrants are detachable and are valued separately from the convertible notes payable.  Therefore, the total fair value of the warrants, $1,200,000, was charged to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding discount on the convertible notes payable.  Changes to the value of the warrants are also charged to additional paid-in-capital and discount on convertible notes payable. The remaining discount will be amortized over the life of the debt.  As the discount is amortized, the outstanding principal balance of the notes will approach the face value of remaining convertible notes payable.

Derivative Financial Instrument


The Company generally does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. However, certain other financial instruments, such as embedded conversion features, where an embedded option in a debt security contains the price of a specific equity instrument, are bifurcated and are classified as derivative liabilities. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the close of each reporting period.

Litigation


Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership


The Company was served with a lawsuit that was filed on September 12, 2005 in the Second Judicial District Court in Washoe County, Nevada as case number CV-05-02072. The plaintiff in the lawsuit is Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership (“Verde”). The lawsuit makes a variety of claims and contends that the Company and certain officers of the Company misappropriated certain technology, including two patents, and seeks damages “in excess of $10,000”.  The action was removed to federal court in Nevada.  A motion was pending to have the case dismissed as to Blastgard International, Inc., and all other defendants, for lack of personal jurisdiction.  There was also a motion pending for a more definite statement in that three of the claims by Verde are conclusory, vague and ambiguous.  


On July 14, 2006, the United States District Court rendered its decision in this case. It was ordered and adjudged that the motion to dismiss the individual defendants and the motion to dismiss the BlastGard defendants was granted. Defendants’ motion for a more definite statement is moot. The Court entered judgment on July 17, 2006 in favor of all Defendants and against the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff had 30 days from the date of the judgment (July 17) to file a notice of appeal. No notice was filed.  


On July 19, 2006, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida. The Defendants in the lawsuit are Sam Gettle, Guy Gettle and Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership (“Verde”). The lawsuit contends that the Defendants have committed defamatory acts against the Company and its products.  The lawsuit also asks for a declaration that the Company is not liable for the acts complained of in the Nevada action.  On the Company’s affirmative claims for defamation, the Florida action seeks injunctive relief and damages in excess of $15,000, exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs.


As of October 31, 2007 there has been no progress on the lawsuit.


(8)          Subsequent Events


In April and May 2007, the Company sold stock under Regulation S and regulation D.  This stock was offered with the condition that the Company would register the shares by October 15, 2007.  The Company was not able to complete the registration by the date specified and issued 1,322,938 additional shares, equal to 10% of the shares sold, as a penalty for not completing the registration. 


During the quarter ended September 30 2007, the Company had entered into negotiations to acquire a Michigan company (the target) for stock and acquisition of debt.  The Company lent the target company $140,000 during negotiations and paid $10,000 for the option to purchase the target.  On October 22, 2007 the Company notified the target that it would not exercise its option to purchase the target.  The Company has placed an allowance in the amount of $140,000 on the loan to the target as of September 30, 2007 but is pursuing collection of the loan.  


The Company entered into employment agreements with five corporate officers effective April 1, 2007.  The employment agreements contain provisions for the grant of options to purchase 15,900,000 shares as performance bonuses based on certain sales volumes. On November 8, 2007, our five executives agreed to amend their employment agreements to cancel 10,600,000 of the performance based option incentives.

All five persons were accredited investors. Included in these were shares issued to Robert P.

(64,760 shares (valued at $.40 per share) were issued in settlement of a $25,000 loan and $904 in accrued interest). All five persons were accredited investors. The Company believes these transactions were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933. The transactions did not involve a public offering, no sales commissions were paid, and a restrictive legend was placed on the certificates evidencing the shares.

2. On January 31, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of BlastGard Technologies, Inc, a Florida corporation (“BTI”), from the nine shareholders of BTI in exchange for an aggregate of 18,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. This transaction was a recapitalization that was accounted for as the sale of the shares of BTI for the net liabilities of the public company of $606,412. All nine shareholders were accredited investors. The Company believes this private placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and /or Rule 506 of Regulation D. The transaction did not involve a public offering, no sales commissions were paid, and a restrictive legend was placed on each security.

3. In February 2004, the Company sold 200,000 shares of its restricted common stock to five accredited investors, with gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000. The Company believes this private placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933. The transaction did not involve a public offering, no sales commissions were paid, and a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate evidencing the shares.

4. During the quarter ending June 30, 2004, the Company sold 629,367 shares of its restricted common stock to thirty four accredited investors, with gross proceeds to the Company of $944,050. We believe this private placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. The transaction did not involve a public offering, no sales commissions were paid, and a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate evidencing the shares.

5. On May 25, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Prisma Capital Markets, LLC, appointing Prisma as an exclusive distributor of the Company’s products in Kuwait. Prisma also agreed to arrange for, and pay the costs and expenses related to, the testing and demonstration of the Company’s products in Kuwait, in exchange for 300,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. The shares were valued at $450,000, based upon contemporaneous private placement stock sales at $1.50 per share to third-party investors. The Company also granted Prisma warrants entitling Prisma to purchase up to 4,401,720 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.062 per share, which would be exercisable only upon Prisma’s meeting various sales goals totaling $30,000,000 in sales. Prisma was an accredited investor. The Company believes this transaction was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933. The transaction did not involve a public offering, no sales commissions were paid, and a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate evidencing the securities. In February 2005, we filed a lawsuit against Prisma in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, for breach of contract, and demanded the return of the securities issued to Prisma and $100,000 in actual damages. Prisma was served a summons on February 7, 2005; and because we have not received a response as of March 12, 2005, we can now file a motion to have a default judgement entered against Prisma.

6. During the quarter ending September 30, 2004, the Company sold 128,834 shares of its restricted common stock to twelve accredited investors, with gross proceeds to the Company of $193,250.50. We believe this private placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. The transaction did not involve a public offering, no sales commissions were paid, and a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate evidencing the shares.

7. In December 2004, we raised $1,420,000 from five investors in a convertible debt financing, and issued to the investors secured convertible notes and common stock purchase warrants.

The individual note holders have the right, at their option, to convert the principal amount of the note, together with all accrued interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of and upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in the note, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock at a current conversion price of $.30 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances if the notes are then outstanding, such as a stock split, combination or dividend; or in the event we issue shares of common stock for consideration of less than the exercise price.

Also in connection with this sale, we issued the note holders two types of warrants to acquire shares of our common stock. We issued to the investors “Class A” Common Stock Purchase Warrants which entitle the investors to acquire an aggregate of 473,336 shares of our common stock currently at an exercise price of $.45 per share, are exercisable for a period of five years and contain a “cashless exercise” provision that applies only in the event that a registration statement for the resale of the shares is not effective.

We issued to the investors “Class B” Common Stock Purchase Warrants entitling them to acquire an aggregate of 141,999 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.45 per share.

Andrew Garrett, Inc., acted as placement agent in this transaction. The placement agent was paid a cash fee of $99,400, which represents 7% of the gross proceeds, and is also entitled to a 5% fee upon exercise of warrants by the investors, if any. We also issued the placement agent a warrant to acquire an aggregate of 82,834 shares of our common stock at a currently exercise price of $.45 per share, and a warrant expiring December 2007 to acquire 4,970 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.45 per share. The placement agent’s warrants are exercisable for a period of five years and contain a “cashless exercise” provision that applies only in the event that a registration statement for the resale of the shares is not effective.

Pursuant to a Modification and Waiver Agreement dated as of December 6, 2005, the note holders and the Company agreed that the note holders would waive exercising their remedies and rights available to them for events of default only as they relate to the late filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including the right to receive liquidated damages and the non-payment of principal amounts of the notes and interest due through December 31, 2005, including the right to receive the default interest rate of 15% in lieu of 8% per annum. These waivers by the note holders of their rights and remedies saved the Company approximately $50,069 in liquidated damages and default interest. In consideration of these waivers, the Company agreed to issue 314,280 restricted shares of Common Stock in exchange for the conversion of principal amounting to $34,080 and accrued interest totaling $123,064 through December 31, 2005 at a conversion rate of $.50 per share. By virtue of the Modification and Waiver Agreement, the note holders have also agreed that an event of default has not occurred and the effect of this is to reinstate the non-current portion of the notes payable to long-term debt due October 31, 2007. The aforementioned 314,288 shares were granted piggy-back registration rights and are available for sale as restricted securities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See “Notes to Financial Statements.”

We believe this private placement and the shares issued pursuant to the Modification and Waiver Agreement were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. The transaction did not involve a public offering and a restrictive legend was placed on each convertible note and each warrant.

8. In December 2004, we raised $1,020,000 from one investor by selling 680,000 shares of restricted common stock (at $1.50 per share) to one investor, and we also issued to the investor a “Class B” common stock purchase warrant to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock at a currently exercise price of $.45 per share (the other terms of the warrant are described above.).

Basic Investors, Inc., acted as placement agent in this transaction. The placement agent was paid a cash fee of $132,600, which represents 13% of the gross proceeds. We also issued to Basic Investors, Inc. a warrant to acquire 150,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for five years, at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, payable in cash or on a “cashless exercise” basis. We also agreed to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the investor’s warrant and the placement agent’s warrant.

 

We believe this private placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. The transaction did not involve a public offering and a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate and each warrant.

9. On June 29, 1005, Howard Safir was appointed to fill a vacancy on the board or directors. Contemporaneously with the appointment of Mr. Safir, we entered into an agreement with The November Group, Ltd., an entity controlled by Mr. Safir, to serve as an advisor to render strategic and consulting services to us, primarily in connection with the commercialization of our proprietary BlastGard technology. We agreed to compensate The November Group, Ltd. by issuing to it 100,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $125,000. We believe this private placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. The transaction did not involve a public offering, no sales commissions were paid, and a restrictive legend was placed on each certificate evidencing the shares.

10. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” regarding outstanding options granted to officers, directors, employees and consultants. We believe that the transactions described above were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and/or Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. Each transaction did not involve a public offering and an appropriate restrictive legend was placed on each security. Also, no commissions were paid in connection with the sales of any of the aforementioned unregistered securities of our company.

11. On June 22, 2006, we entered into a series of simultaneous transactions with two investors, whereby we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000 due June 22, 2008 and issued to the investors subordinated convertible 8% notes (secured by the assets of our company and subsidiary) and the following series of warrants:

(i)

Five-year Class C warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares originally exercisable at $1.00 per share;

(ii)

Five-year Class D warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares originally exercisable at $1.50 per share;

(iii)

Five-year Class E warrants to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares originally exercisable at $2.00 per share; and

(iv)

Five-year Class F warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,066,666 shares originally exercisable at $.75 per share. The Class F warrants were originally redeemable at a nominal price under certain circumstances if the volume weighted average price for our common stock is at least $1.10 for ten consecutive trading days. The Class C warrants, Class D warrants, Class E warrants and Class F warrants contain anti-dilution protection in the case of stock splits, dividends, combinations, reclassifications and the like and in the event that we sell common stock below the applicable exercise price. The warrants also contain immediate registration rights and cashless exercise provisions in the event that there is a current registration statement commencing one year after issuance. An additional 666,667 Class F warrants were issued in connection with this transaction to our December 2004 secured note holders to consent to this financing transaction and to agree to modify certa in of their existing rights.

Each note holder has the right, at its option, to convert the principal amount of the note, together with all accrued interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of and upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in the note, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock at an amended conversion price of $.30 per share, subject to adjustment for dividends, stock splits, combinations, reclassifications and the like or in the event we issue shares of common stock for consideration of less than the conversion price. In the event of default, the notes can be called by the holders at 115% of the outstanding principal amount (200% in the case of a change in control) plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Source Capital Group, Inc. acted as a finder in connection with this transaction. Source Capital was paid 25,000 shares of restricted common stock, a cash fee of $72,000, which represents 6% of the gross proceeds and a 6% fee of each class of warrants issued in connection with the June 2006 debt financing, which warrants were issued by us and not deducted from those issued to any other party.

We believe that the transactions described above were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and/or Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. Each transaction did not involve a public offering and an appropriate restrictive legend was placed on each security. Also, no commissions were paid in connection with the sales of any of the aforementioned unregistered securities of our company. However, a finder’s fee was paid to Source Capital Group in connection with such transactions.

12. In July 2006, we issued 75,000 shares of our common stock to The Investor Relations Group, Inc. We believe that the transactions described above were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) and/or Section 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D. Each transaction did not involve a public offering and an appropriate restrictive legend was placed on each security. Also, no commissions were paid in connection with the sales of any of the aforementioned unregistered securities of our company.

13.   Between April 20, 2007 and May 4, 2007, the Company completed two concurrent Offerings and raised a total of $3,968,810 as described below.


The Company sold 11,529,368 units, each unit consisting of one share of its unregistered Common Stock at $.30 per share and one-half warrant, with a full warrant exercisable at $.45 per share in an offshore offering to non-US Persons through D &D Securities Company, its placement agent. The offering raised $3,458,810 in gross proceeds through the issuance of 11,529,368 shares and 5,764,684 warrants.  In addition, the Company issued broker warrants to purchase 1,322,937 units. Exemption from registration is claimed under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.


The Company also sold 1,700,000 shares of its unregistered Common Stock at $.30 per share and issued 850,000 warrants exercisable at $.45 per share, pursuant to a Regulation D offering. The offering raised $510,000 in gross proceeds. Exemption from registration is claimed under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All of the aforementioned securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The securities sold pursuant to its concurrent plans of financing contain certain registration rights and penalty warrants for failure to meet certain registration or trading conditions by October 15, 2007. Since the Company did not register these securities or have them listed on one of two Canadian Exchanges by October 15, 2007, the Company issued to each investor an additional 10% in shares of Common Stock and an additional 10% Warrants on what they purchased in the 2007 Private Placement pursuant to the same exemptions from registration described above.


14.  On August 8, 2007, $600,000 in principal indebtedness was converted by certain non-affiliated persons into 2,000,000 restricted common shares. Exemption is claimed under sec 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, inasmuch as no commissions were paid in connection with said conversions.

UNDERTAKINGS

(a)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant, hereby requesting acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement under Rule 461 under the Securities Act, hereby undertakes to include the following:

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has 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. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of the expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the small business issuer 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 small business issuer 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

You have requested our opinion, as counsel for BlastGard International, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the resale of  22,534,632 shares (the “Registered Shares”) of common stock, $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), by the selling security holders named in the Registration Statement, including 21,978,462 newly registered outstanding shares of Common Stock and 556,170 shares (originally registered under File # 333-121455), for which the Registration statement acts as a Post-Effective amendment pursuant to Rule 429. Of the 22,534,632 shares, 14,702,306 shares represent issued and outstanding shares and 7,832,326 shares represent shares that will be issued upon exerci se of outstanding warrants that have an exercise price of $.45 per share.


We have examined such records and documents and made such examinations of law as we have deemed relevant in connection with this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.


Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that 14,702,306 shares of common stock that are issued and outstanding are duly authorized, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The 7,832,326 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, when issued in the manner described in the Registration Statement, are duly authorized and upon issuance, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.


We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We hereby further consent to the reference to us under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.


 

 

 

Sincerely,
