PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
Our Company

We are a privately-held Minnesota corporation incorporated on July 10, 2000. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have 132 shareholders of record. Our current ownership is concentrated in our four (4) founding shareholders, John Bjelland, James Bjelland, Boris Gelfand and Donald Armstrong (the “Founders”), who collectively own, as of the date of this Prospectus, 47.6% of the currently issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Our offices are located in Eden Prairie and St Paul, Minnesota.

Our Business

We are engaged in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing, and eventually selling commercially, database technology for computer information processing in the commercial marketplace. We refer to this technology as the Infobionics Cellular Database Management System (“CDBMS”), or a “5th Generation Data Management Technology.” As a 5th Generation Data Management Technology, CDBMS is really a superset of the four major commercial database technologies that have preceded it: (i) the hierarchical databases of the 1950’s (IMS); (ii) the network databases of the 1960’s (IDMS); (iii) the relational databases of the 1970’s (Oracle, Sybase, DB2); and (iv) the object-oriented databases of the 1990’s (Objectivity).
 
Our first CDBMS product is in the beta (testing) stage. Release 1 of our product has been completed and delivered to customers for evaluation beginning in June 2008. The Release 1 beta product is an early stage product and was given to potential customers for the purpose of gaining immediate feedback on product function, features and performance. Release 2 of our CDBMS product also has been completed and recently delivered to potential customers for evaluation. Release 2 incorporates product enhancements requested by a potential customer along with functional and performance enhancements. We cannot market our CDBMS product and gain additional customers until the beta testing has been completed and our product is fully developed. It is uncertain when this will occur, if at all. Furthermore, there is no assurance that, when fully developed and we are able to commence marketing activities, the product will gain market acceptance. Failure to complete the development of our product on a timely basis (or at all) or inability to gain market acceptance of our product will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Our Cellular Database Management System” beginning on page 25 of this Prospectus for a more detailed discussion of our product and its development.

We have generated revenues of $154,938 in 2007 and $275,000 in 2006 resulting from customer testing and development of our CDBMS product. All of this revenue came from two customers only, one of which is a stockholder of the Company. The stockholder, In-Q-Tel, Inc. (“In-Q-Tel”), a related party, generated revenues for us of $55,000 in 2007 and $275,000 in 2006. The other customer, the U.S. Navy, generated revenue of $99,938, all in 2007. All work has been performed under our contracts with these customers and, currently, we have no agreements in place with In-Q-Tel or the U.S. Navy (or any other party) pursuant to which we will receive any additional revenue. Although our arrangements with In-Q-Tel and the U.S. Navy assisted us in developing our CDBMS product, we do not believe that continuing contractual arrangements with either of these parties is material to the overall future success of the Company. Nonetheless, we currently have no agreements in place pursuant to which the Company expects to generate future revenues. If we are unable to attract new customers and generate additional revenue in the future, we may not be able to continue operations and the value of your investment may be lost. See “Introduction” in “Our Cellular Database Management System” for a discussion of our product development. In addition, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of funds needed over the next 12 months in order to continue developing and to market the product.
 
Although there can be no assurances, based solely on management’s research and experience in this area, it is our opinion that the CDBMS innovation could be one of the most important and economically significant data management products since the commercialization of relational databases (approximately 30 years ago). Substantial improvements in performance, flexibility, ease and speed of configuration and cost of ownership are the keys to its disruptive capability. We have received two patents from the U.S. Patent Office covering an aggregate of 26 patentable claims for the cellular database design incorporated into CDBMS.

Our goal is to become a dominating force in the database market for managing intelligence and computational processes involving complex data management and information analysis where, we believe, current database technologies cannot match the capabilities of our product. Such opportunities occur in: business intelligence, governments (defense), biotech and life sciences and intelligence management. We further seek to penetrate legacy markets through the ability to absorb existing databases and their applications and still preserve existing investments in current information management assets.

Our Product - The Infobionics Cellular Database Management System (CDBMS)

We have designed CDBMS to be a simple, fast, elegant and highly functional database that incorporates a novel “cellular design” mimicking some of the functions of neurons and synapses found in the human brain in order to emulate the brain’s storage, search and retrieval of data capability. Similar to the mechanics of the brain, the technology functions by placing small amounts of data in individual information cells, and then linking this data through specialized link cells that connect data into sets that are associated by certain characteristics. This technology keeps data and relationships separate, which allows users the flexibility to revise and add data and relationships with ease, without compromising the integrity of access to the data or the database performance, and also allows data to belong to many sets simultaneously. Our research indicates that, currently, these characteristics are not adequately addressed in any commercially available database technology of which we are aware. The Company has obtained patents on the CDBMS which incorporate these characteristics.

As supported by the Company’s patents, the CDBMS is built upon a significantly different database design from other database designs commercially available today of which we are aware. Based solely on internal testing by the Company, in our opinion, CDBMS is far more dynamic and readily adapts to understand and store data without predefined organization (e.g., static data tables), which we believe constricts functionality of current database technologies. CDBMS is agile, flexible and does not need or use long drawn-out design procedures. There are no tables and no fixed data structures to normalize, and the technology works to combine or eliminate redundancies. CDBMS has the potential to manage digital data of any size and any format with equal facility, including numbers, text, video, voice and graphics, and will accommodate emerging formats as well. An integrated data dictionary provides associative properties to link, relate, categorize and search all digital data.

The first version of our product will run on top of existing databases while a future product is targeted to be a complete stand-alone product. The future product will take longer to develop, yet, if we do go forward with developing this product, we expect it will yield impressive gains in performance and functionality that we believe will be in demand in the future.

The Private Placement

Beginning in October 2006 and continuing until December 21, 2007, we offered (the “Private Placement”), through Mercer Capital Ltd., a Texas Partnership (the “Placement Agent”), One Million One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand (1,125,000) units of our equity securities at Four Dollars ($4.00) per unit to accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act ), for a maximum offering amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000). Each unit (a “Unit”) consisted of four (4) shares of Common Stock, two (2) callable warrants, each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock and is exercisable for a period of forty-two (42) months after the termination of the Private Placement at two dollars ($2.00) per share (the “Callable Warrants”), and two (2) non-callable warrants, each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock and is exercisable for a period of forty-two (42) months from the date of issuance at four dollars ($4.00) per share (the “Non-Callable Warrants”, and together with the Callable Warrants, the “Investor Warrants”). The Callable Warrants are callable by the Company at any time after September 1, 2008 if certain conditions are satisfied, including, without limitation, if the value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds Two Dollars ($2.00) per share. As of the date of this Prospectus, the conditions have not been satisfied and, accordingly, the Callable Warrants are not callable by the Company at this time. We raised a total of $4,027,500 in the Private Placement.
 
Registration of Securities
 
In accordance with the terms of the Private Placement, if we raised a minimum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) in the Private Placement, then within six (6) months after the date on which the Company raised this amount, we were required to file with the SEC a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the securities underlying the Units sold in the Private Placement and the shares underlying the Investor Warrants and the warrants issued to the Placement Agent. As of June 30, 2007, we had raised $4,027,500 in the Private Placement. Accordingly, we were required to file the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part by no later than December 31, 2007. We filed the Registration Statement on December 31, 2007. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement and as agreed to with the Placement Agent, the Registration Statement must be declared effective by the SEC by no later than January 31, 2009 (subject to extension by the Placement Agent) or the purchase price of the Investor Warrants will be reduced by 25% for each 30 day period or part thereof that the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC.

RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information in this Prospectus or included with this Prospectus, you should consider carefully the following factors in evaluating Infobionics and our business before purchasing Common Stock:
 
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Common Stock
 
a.   It may be difficult for you to resell the Common Stock due to a lack of an established public trading market.
 
There presently is no public trading market for the Common Stock, we have not applied for a trading symbol or quotation, and it is unlikely that an active public trading market can be established or sustained for an extended period of time. We intend to locate a market maker and apply to have the Common Stock quoted on the OTCBB upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur. Until there is an established trading market, holders of the Common Stock may find it difficult to sell their stock or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of the Common Stock. If a market for the Common Stock does develop, the stock price may be volatile.

b.   If you purchase shares of Common Stock, you run the risk of losing your entire investment.    

Only persons who can bear the economic risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time and can afford the total loss of their investment in Common Stock should consider the purchase of shares of Common Stock.
 
c.   The Common Stock price may be subject to significant volatility that could result in losses to investors.  
 
A variety of factors could cause the price of  Common Stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially, including: announcements of developments related to our business; fluctuations in the operating results and order levels of Infobionics or its competitors; general conditions in the computer industry or the worldwide economy; announcements of technological innovations; new products or product enhancements from us or our competitors; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; developments in patent, copyright or other intellectual property rights; developments in our relationships with our customers, distributors and suppliers; legal proceedings brought against the Company or its officers; and significant changes in our senior management team. In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the market for shares of equity securities of many high technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and the value of your investment in the Company.
 
d.   You may experience difficulty selling shares of Common Stock because broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in Common Stock shares as they are considered penny stocks and are subject to the penny stock rules.

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on NASD broker-dealers who make a market in “penny stocks”. A penny stock generally includes any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The Common Stock is not traded on NASDAQ or on any other exchange, and it currently is not quoted on the OTCBB. Following the date that the Registration Statement in which this Prospectus is included becomes effective, we hope to find a broker-dealer to act as a market maker for the Common Stock and file on our behalf with the NASD an application on Form 15c(2)(11) for approval for the Common Stock to be quoted on the OTCBB. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have not engaged a market maker to file such application for us. If we are successful in finding such a market maker and successful in applying for quotation on the OTCBB, it is very likely that the Common Stock will be considered a “penny stock”. In that case, purchases and sales of shares of Common Stock will be generally facilitated by NASD broker-dealers who act as market makers for the shares of Common Stock. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Common Stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede your ability to sell shares of Common Stock in the secondary market.

 
3

 

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.

In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

e.   Investors that need to rely on dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares of Common Stock because we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future and shares of Common Stock may be difficult for you to sell.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends on the Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Investors who need to rely on dividend income should not invest in the Common Stock, as any income would only come from any rise in the market price of the Common Stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable. Investors who require liquidity also should not invest in our Common Stock. There is no established trading market and should one develop, it will likely be volatile and subject to minimal trading volumes.

f.   Because we can issue additional shares of common stock at any time without shareholder approval, purchasers of Common Stock may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.

We are authorized to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock. As of November 30, 2008, there were 12,605,510 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, including the Common Stock. Our Board of Directors has the authority to approve the issuance of additional shares of common stock without consent of any of our shareholders. Consequently, shareholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of Infobionics in the future.

g.   Since our officers and directors own a significant percentage of our issued and outstanding common stock, any future sales of their shares may result in a decrease in the price of the Common Stock and the value of your investment.

Our executive officers and directors currently own an aggregate of 6,136,821 shares of the total 12,605,510 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Collectively, they own approximately 48.7% of our total outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Company’s Founders (which include some executive officers and other persons) collectively own approximately 47.6% of our total outstanding shares of Common Stock. Those shares of common stock which are owned by our executive officers and directors will be available for resale to the public in accordance with Rule 144 of the Act. Under Rule 144 as currently in effect, after certain holding periods are met, our executive officers and directors would be entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: 1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding which, in this case, will currently equate to approximately 126,055 shares in the aggregate; or the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

The possibility of future sales of significant amounts of shares held by them could decrease the market price of the Common Stock if the marketplace does not orderly adjust to the increase in shares in the market. In such case, the value of your investment in the Company will decrease.
 
h.   The exercise price of our warrants and stock options may be substantially below the market price of the Common Stock at the time of exercise, which may cause dilution of the value of your investment in the Company and cause the price or your shares of Common Stock to decline.
 
We have warrants outstanding that are exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $0.12 per share to $4.00 per share. We also have stock options outstanding that are exercisable at $0.01 per share. Subject to certain exceptions, these conversion ratios and exercise prices are subject to downward adjustment in the event we issue additional shares of common stock at prices below the then-current conversion ratio or exercise price. Exercises of warrants and stock options are only likely to occur at such times as the exercise price is lower than the current market price for our common stock. Issuance of common stock at a price below our current market price would have a dilutive effect on current shareholders (including you if you invest in the Company) and could potentially have a negative impact on the price of the Common Stock.

Risks Related to Our Business.
 
a.  We have not completed the development of our CDBMS product. If we are unable to complete development of the product and gain market acceptance of the product, the value of your investment in the Company will be substantially impaired.

Our CDBMS product is in the beta (testing) stage. Release 1 of our product has been completed and delivered to customers for evaluation beginning in June 2008. Although we have received positive feedback from customers with respect to the first release of our beta product, evaluation of our product by customers is in the initial stages and there is no assurance that the feedback will continue to be positive or that we will be able to continue developing the product and take it to market in the near future or any time at all. We also have completed and released Release 2 of our product and are awaiting feedback from potential customers. We cannot market our CDBMS product and gain additional customers until the beta testing has been completed and our product is fully developed. It is uncertain when this will occur, if at all. Furthermore, there is no assurance that, when fully developed and we are able to commence marketing activities, the product will gain market acceptance. Failure to complete the development of our product on a timely basis (or at all) or inability to gain market acceptance of our product will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
b.  Since our inception, we have generated revenue from only two customers. We have performed all obligations required under our contracts with these customers and all revenue for these services has been received by us. If we do not attract new customers we will be unable to generate revenue and the value of your investment in the Company will be impaired.

The Company has generated revenues of only $154,938 in 2007 and $275,000 in 2006. All of this revenue has been generated from only two customers, one of which is a shareholder of the Company (In-Q-Tel). In-Q-Tel has generated revenues for us of $55,000 in 2007 and $275,000 in 2006. The other customer, the U.S. Navy, generated revenue for us of $99,938, all in 2007. We have no agreements currently in place with In-Q-Tel or the U.S. Navy (or any other party) pursuant to which we will receive any additional revenue.   In order to generate sufficient revenues to be successful, we must attract new customers. There can be no assurance that our marketing efforts will be successful in attracting new customers or that we will perform any additional revenue-generation services for either In-Q-Tel or the U.S. Navy. If we are unable to attract additional customers and substantially increase our sources of revenues, the Company may not be able to obtain additional funding and continue operations. Furthermore, the value of your investment in the Company will be impaired. 
 
c.   We have a limited operating history, and, accordingly, you will not be able to examine our past performance in order to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objectives.

We were incorporated in Minnesota on July 10, 2000 and are now in the early stages of operations. We are subject to all of the risks inherent in an early stage business enterprise. We have only begun to generate revenue from the sale of our products (recently we generated revenue for services provided in connection with the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement; See “In-Q-Tel Development Agreement”). The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with an early stage business enterprise and the competitive environment in which we will operate. Since inception, our efforts have been limited primarily to assembling a management and operations team, developing our software products and attempting to form strategic relationships with potential customers and others. Our operating history is insufficient for an investor to rely on in making a judgment as to our future performance. We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully implement such strategy.

d.   We have a history of incurring substantial losses and negative cash flow and do not expect to achieve profitability in the near future; accordingly, the price of the Common Stock is unlikely to increase and may decline.    

Since inception, we have incurred substantial losses and experienced negative cash flow. Because we expect our losses to continue and increase as we expand our operations, we do not believe that we will achieve profitability in the foreseeable future. We expect our losses and negative cash flow to continue and increase as we continue to develop and market our products to meet market needs and incur sales and marketing expenses, increase our staff to undertake additional marketing, development and other activities necessary to achieve market momentum.

e.   Because our future operating results are unpredictable, there can be no assurance you will receive any return on your investment.    
 
Due to our lack of operating history and the potentially disruptive nature of our CDBMS technology, it is not possible to accurately forecast our future revenues, or results of operations. We have no meaningful historical financial data upon which to base planned operating and capital expenditures, and our sales and operating results are difficult to forecast. A variety of factors may cause our future operating results to fluctuate significantly. Many of these factors are outside of our control. They include: (i) the successful completion and use of our products; (ii) the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; (iii) market acceptance of our services and products; (iv) the amount and timing of our operating costs and capital expenditures; (v) introductions by our competitors of new or enhanced services or products; (vi) availability of sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us; (vii) changes in our management team and key personnel; and (viii) fluctuations in general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to our industry. One or more of these factors could materially and adversely affect gross margins and operating results in future periods. Given our stage of operations, there can be no assurance as to the attainability of the estimates provided herein, the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based, or that we will, at any point, attain profitability.

 
5

 

f.   The costs of software development can be high, which could affect our ability to realize profits from our development efforts.    
 
We must continue to develop our software products before we can bring them to market. The costs associated with software are increasing, including the costs of recruiting and retaining engineering talent and acquiring or licensing new technologies. Our continued investment in new and existing market opportunities before we are able to generate revenue from these new opportunities might adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
g.   Because we anticipate a significant portion of our revenue may be derived from license royalties, our success, and the value of your investment, will be dependent upon the ability of our customers to develop and penetrate new markets successfully, among other things.    

Because we anticipate that many of our products will be embedded in end-user products developed and marketed by our future customers, we anticipate that we will receive royalty fees for each copy of our products embedded in our customers’ products. Therefore, our anticipated royalty revenues depend both upon our ability to successfully negotiate royalty agreements with customers and, in turn, upon our customers’ successful commercialization of their underlying products. If our customers are not successful with their products or do not accurately report use of their products to us, our anticipated royalty revenues may be affected adversely.

h.   If we are unable to adequately protect the intellectual property underlying our products, our ability to compete and, accordingly, our potential for success, may be adversely impacted.
 
Our success is dependent upon the proprietary CDBMS technology contained in our products. Currently, we are pursuing patent protection to establish and protect our intellectual property rights in our technology and products. As of the date of this Prospectus, two (2) United States Patents (with an aggregate of 26 patentable claims) have been granted to the Company. We cannot be certain that the steps we are taking in this regard will adequately protect our rights, that others will not independently develop or otherwise acquire equivalent or superior technology, or that we can maintain our technology as trade secrets. In addition, discovery and investigation of unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult. Software piracy is difficult to detect and can be a persistent problem, particularly in those foreign countries where the laws may not protect our intellectual property as fully as in the United States. Employees, consultants and others who participate in the development of our products may breach their agreements with us regarding our intellectual property. We might not have adequate remedies for any such infringement or breach. Furthermore, the cost of prosecuting infringement claims could be significant, and no assurance can be given that we will have the financial ability to prosecute any such claims. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

i.   We anticipate requiring additional financing in early fiscal 2009. If we are unable to obtain all the financing we need our ability to continue developing our product and to market our product will be materially and adversely impacted. Should this occur, the value of your investment will be impaired.
 
We will need additional capital for additional technical development on our product, sales and marketing operations, other operating expenses and for general corporate purposes in early fiscal 2009. Although our needs may change, we anticipate that we will require between $2.5 to $4.0 million in order to fund our operations over the next 12 months. We anticipate that we will initiate one or more additional funding rounds prior to the end of the first calendar quarter in 2009, although the timing and amount of any such additional funding are uncertain. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may not have sufficient capital to implement our business plan and fund operations. The failure to secure adequate financing could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

 j.   We are dependent upon our key personnel for future success, and any loss of key personnel could impair the value of your investment in the Company.

We are in the early stages of operations and our success may depend upon the experience, quality, and stability of current and future management. Our success to date has been highly dependent upon certain of our key management and technical personnel who have played key roles in the founding of the Company, the development of our technology and/or our promotion. The loss of the services of any of them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. All of our employees, including our executive officers, are “at-will” employees. As a result, either the Company or a particular employee can terminate his or her employment at any time. There can be no assurance that any of these persons will remain with us in the future due to circumstances within or outside of our control. In addition, competition for qualified personnel in general, and in the technology field in particular, is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to hire or retain additional qualified personnel, including engineers and technical personnel. Any inability to attract and retain qualified personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 
 
k.   Rapid growth may significantly strain the resources of the Company and negatively impact our ability to implement our business plan, which may impair the value of your investment in the Company.

 
6

 
 
If we are able to achieve rapid and successful market acceptance of our current and future products, we may undergo a period of rapid growth. This expansion may significantly strain management, financial, customer support, operational and other resources. To accommodate this anticipated growth, we are continuing to implement a variety of new and upgraded operating and financial systems, procedures and controls, including the improvement of our internal management systems. There can be no assurance that such efforts can be accomplished successfully. Any failure to expand these areas in an efficient manner could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Moreover, there can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future operations.

l.   We intend to become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs will negatively affect our ability to earn a profit.
 
Following the effective date of the Registration Statement in which this Prospectus is included, we will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. In order to comply with such requirements, our independent registered auditors will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major affect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.
 
m.   If our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting are not effective, the price of our stock may be adversely affected.
 
While we believe we currently have adequate internal control over financial reporting, we cannot guarantee that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. In designing our control systems, management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further the design of a control system must reflect the necessity of considering the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of inherent limitations in any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of wrongdoing, if any, that may affect our operations, will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake and that controls may be circumvented by individual acts by some person, by collusion of two or more people or by management’s override of the control. The design of any control system also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of a potential future event, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in cost-effective control systems, misstatements due to error or wrongdoing may occur and not be detected. Over time, it is also possible that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions that could not be, or were not, anticipated at inception or review of the control systems. Any breakdown in our control systems, whether or not foreseeable by management, could cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy of our financial reporting and may have an adverse impact on our business and on the market price for the Common Stock.

Risks Related to Our Products and Our Market

a.   If our products do not become profitable or attain market acceptance, the value of your investment in the Company may be impaired.

In order to market our services and products successfully, we will need to build-out and demonstrate the feasibility of CDBMS, and enter into agreements, including, without limitation, software product licensing agreements, wholesale and/or joint venture agreements with strategic partners, third parties, and customers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into such agreements on terms acceptable to us or that our products and services will be profitable. Our failure to finish and demonstrate the feasibility of our products, and maintain relationships with these parties may have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, and the results of operations. There can be no assurance that (i) our products will attain market acceptance, (ii) potential customers using competitive products will be willing to change to our products or (iii) that our future customers might not change to a competitor’s products.

           b.   Our technology has not been fully tested in the commercial marketplace, and if it fails to perform in the market place, our ability to realize revenues and earnings will be substantially impaired.

The implementation of our technology and the future operation of our products are subject to completion of our CDBMS technology and execution of this technology in our products. No assurances can be given that (i) our products will perform adequately for our future customers, (ii) the development, operation and/or utilization of our products will not require items that have not yet been developed and/or that are not unreasonably expensive to develop, (iii) the development by us of the products will not result in material cost overruns, or (iv) the products will perform as expected. You should be aware that software is complex and requires all portions to be compatible.

c.   We face significant competition in the general database technology marketplace and, if our products are unable to compete effectively, the value of your investment in the Company may be impaired.

We will encounter competition in the markets where we will present our products. Our competitors are generally much better financed than we are, and may have or develop new technologies, services, and products that are superior to our products. In fact, some of our largest competitors are some of the largest companies in the world. Such developments could render our products less competitive or obsolete, and could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition, and the results of operations. We expect that competition will increase as technology improves and the market matures. There can be no assurances that we will be able to compete effectively against current or future competitors, succeed in adapting more rapidly and effectively to changes in technology, changes in the market or in developing or marketing products and services that will be widely accepted.
 
d.   Our software products could contain defects and could be subject to potential release delays, which could result in lost revenues and the inability to implement our business plan in a timely manner which, ultimately, will adversely impact the value of your investment in the Company.
 
Software products frequently contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. Although we have not experienced any significant adverse effects resulting from any such defects or errors to date, there can be no assurance that, despite testing by us and current and potential customers, defects and errors will not be found in current versions, new versions or enhancements after commencement of commercial shipments, resulting in loss of revenues, delay in market acceptance, or unexpected re-programming costs, which could have an adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition. Additionally, if the release dates of any future Infobionics product line additions or enhancements are delayed or if, when released, the products fail to achieve market acceptance, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows would be adversely affected.
 
e.   The markets in which our products will compete could be subject to technological change, which may result in increased development costs, product obsolescence and our inability to realize revenues and earnings. Should this occur, the value of your investment in the Company will be adversely impacted.
 
The markets in which our products will compete may be subject to technological change, frequent introductions of new and enhanced products, changes in customer demands and evolving industry standards. The introduction of products embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of customers by developing new product functionality and enhancements that keep pace with technological developments, emerging industry standards and customer requirements.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our products will be perceived in the marketplace as technologically advantageous or that we will not experience difficulties that delay or prevent the sale of enhancements to existing products that meet with a significant degree of market acceptance. If the release dates of any future product enhancements, or new products are delayed or if when released they fail to achieve market acceptance, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.
 
f.   We are dependent on acceptance of our products as well as the growth of the market to be successful. If either or both of these should not occur, you may lose your entire investment in the Company.
 
We have not yet attempted to market our products broadly since we are continuing to develop our products. There can be no assurance that our products will be accepted in the marketplace or that, if accepted, the market for our products will continue to grow. If markets for our products fail to exist or grow more slowly than we currently anticipate, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The selling security holders (which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock received after the date of this Prospectus from a selling security holder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer) (the “Selling Security Holders”) may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded (if any) or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at the prevailing market price for the shares, at prices related to such market price, at varying prices or at negotiated prices.
 
The Selling Security Holders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares of Common Stock or interests therein:

 
·

·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares of Common Stock 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;

·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The Selling Security Holders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, under this Prospectus, or under an amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Act, amending the list of Selling Security Holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Security Holders under this Prospectus. The Selling Security Holders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.
 
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 Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out short positions entered into after the date the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC, 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 of Common Stock, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Security Holders from the sale of the Common Stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock. Each of the Selling Security Holders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.

 
10

 
 
The Selling Security Holders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
 
The Selling Security Holders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Act. Selling Security Holders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act will be subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Act.
 
To the extent required, the shares of Common Stock to be sold, the names of the Selling Security Holders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement that includes this Prospectus.
 
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Common Stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through brokers or dealers registered or licensed in these jurisdictions. In addition, in some states the Common Stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
 
We have advised the Selling Security Holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Security Holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this Prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Security Holders for the purpose of satisfying the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Security Holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Act.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

There are 117 Selling Security Holders, as follows:

·           113 accredited investors who purchased an aggregate of 1,006,875 Units in the Private Placement comprised of (i) 4,027,500 shares of our Common Stock, (ii) callable warrants for 2,013,750 shares of our Common Stock; and (iii) non-callable warrants for 2,013,750 shares of our Common Stock;

·           our Placement Agent which has been issued 402,750 shares of our Common Stock and non-callable warrants to purchase 519,125 shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Private Placement;

·           our initial customer (In-Q-Tel, Inc.) and an affiliated entity (In-Q-Tel Employee Fund, LLC) which, collectively, have been issued 75,000 shares of Common Stock and a non-callable warrant to purchase 147,059 Units comprised of (i) 588,236 shares of Common Stock; (ii) callable warrants for 294,118 shares of Common Stock and (iii) non-callable warrants for 294,118 shares of Common Stock (see footnote 8 to the table of Selling Security Holders on page 13 of this Prospectus); and

·           a transferee of the Placement Agent who holds non-callable warrants to purchase 85,000 shares of our Common Stock.

The Units in the Private Placement were sold at a price of $4.00 per Unit.  We received a total of $4,027,500 in gross proceeds in the Private Placement.

The Common Stock is being offered by the named Selling Security Holders below. The table below assumes the exercise of all warrants to purchase Common Stock owned by the Selling Security Holders. Whether or not the warrants are exercised may depend on a number of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the other rights associated with the terms of the warrant agreements, whether there is a specific exemption to registration under federal and state securities laws for the exercise, and the specific exercise price of the securities held by each Selling Security Holder and its relation to the market price of the Common Stock.

The Selling Security Holders may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this Prospectus, up to an aggregate of 4,505,250 shares of our Common Stock they now own, and an aggregate of 5,808,097 shares of our Common Stock issuable to the Selling Security Holders upon exercise of the warrants (callable and non-callable). The Selling Security Holders may, from time to time, offer and sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock that are registered under this Prospectus, although they are not obligated to do so.

We do not know when or in what amounts the Selling Security Holders may offer the shares of Common Stock described in this Prospectus for sale. The Selling Security Holders may decide not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock that this Prospectus covers. The Selling Security Holders may offer all or some of the shares pursuant to this Prospectus. For purposes of the following table, we have assumed that, after completion of the Offering, the Selling Security Holders will sell all of the securities that this Prospectus covers.

The table below presents certain information about persons for whom we are registering the shares of our Common Stock, registered pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The table lists as of the date of this Prospectus:

1.   the name of each Selling Security Holder;
 
2.   the number of shares each Selling Security Holder beneficially owns;
 
3.   how many shares of Common Stock the Selling Security Holder may dispose of under this Prospectus; and
 
4.   assuming each Selling Security Holder sells all the shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, the number of shares of Common Stock each Selling Security Holder will beneficially own after completion of the Offering.
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. This table is based upon information supplied to us by the Selling Security Holders. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the persons or entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We may require the Selling Security Holders to suspend the sales of the shares of Common Stock offered by this Prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this Prospectus or the related Registration Statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading. We may amend or supplement this Prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change this list of Selling Security Holders and shares which may be resold.

7 In-Q-Tel, Inc’s four member Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees (“Investment Committee”) has voting and investment control with respect to shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to In-Q-Tel, Inc. pursuant to currently issued In-Q-Tel Warrants (discussed below) held by In-Q-Tel, Inc., and has delegated that authority to the following executive officers of In-Q-Tel, Inc.: Christopher Darby, Steve Bowsher, Troy Pearsall, Bruce A. Adams, Patrick Ciganer and Matthew Strottman.

8 As discussed in the “In-Q-Tel Development Agreement” section of Description of Our Business, beginning on page 20 of this Prospectus, In-Q-Tel, Inc. and the In-Q-Tel Employee Fund, LLC hold warrants (the “In-Q-Tel Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 147,059 Units, where each Unit consists of 4 shares of Common Stock, 2 Callable Warrants and 2 Non-Callable Warrants, as was the case in the Company’s Private Placement. Accordingly, pursuant to the In-Q-Tel Warrants, In-Q-Tel, Inc. and the In-Q-Tel Employee Fund, LLC collectively have the right to purchase up to 588,236 shares of Common Stock and 588,236 Investor Warrants to purchase Common Stock (half of which are Callable Warrants and the other half of which are Non-Callable Warrants). These shares of Common Stock and Investor Warrants are allocated 75% to In-Q-Tel, Inc. and 25% to the In-Q-Tel Employee Fund. The In-Q-Tel Warrants are currently exercisable by In-Q-Tel, Inc. and the In-Q-Tel Employee Fund, LLC at a price of $3.40 per Unit. We have allocated 75% of the aggregate Common Stock and Investor Warrants issuable upon exercisable of the In-Q-Tel Warrants to In-Q-Tel, Inc. (for a combined total of 882,354 shares and shares issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants) and 25% to the In-Q-Tel Employee Fund, LLC (for a combined total of 294,118 shares and shares issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants).

9 In-Q-Tel, Inc., is the manager of the In-Q-Tel Employee Fund, LLC and, as such, has voting and investment control of the shares held by In-Q-Tel Employee Fund, LLC, and has delegated that authority to the executive officers of In-Q-Tel, Inc. identified in footnote 7 above.

Private Placement

Beginning in October 2006 and continuing until December 21, 2007, the Company offered (the “Private Placement”), through Mercer Capital Ltd., a Texas Partnership (the “Placement Agent”), One Million One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand (1,125,000) units of our equity securities at Four Dollars ($4.00) per Unit to accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act), for a maximum offering amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00). Each unit (a “Unit”) consisted of four (4) shares of our common stock (the “Common Stock”), two (2) callable warrants, each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock and is exercisable for a period of forty-two (42) months after the termination of the Private Placement at two dollars ($2.00) per share (the “Callable Warrants”), and two (2) non-callable warrants, each of which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock and is exercisable for a period of forty-two (42) months from the date of issuance at four dollars ($4.00) per share (the “Non-Callable Warrants”, and together with the Callable Warrants, the “Investor Warrants”). The Callable Warrants are callable by the Company at any time after September 1, 2008 if certain conditions are satisfied, including, without limitation, if the value of a share of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds Two Dollars ($2.00) per share. These conditions have not been satisfied and, accordingly, as of the date of this Prospectus, the Callable Warrants are not callable by the Company. The Investor Warrants are subject to protection for stock splits, combinations and dividends and weighted average protection for issuance by the Company of capital stock without consideration or below the conversion price or fair market value except for (i) conversion of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Investor Warrants; or (ii) shares of common stock issued pursuant to employment agreements and the Company option plans in amounts that shall be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Placement Agent.

We raised a total of $4,027,500 in the Private Placement.

Resale Registration Statement

In accordance with the terms of the Private Placement, if we raised a minimum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) in the Private Placement, then within six (6) months after the date on which the Company raised this amount, we were required to file with the SEC the Registration Statement covering the securities underlying the Units sold in the Private Placement including the shares underlying the Investor Warrants and the Placement Warrant (defined below). As of June 30, 2007, we had raised $4,027,500 in the Private Placement. Accordingly, we were required to file the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part by no later than December 31, 2007. The Company filed the Registration Statement with the SEC on December 31, 2007.

Furthermore, if, after the Registration Statement has been filed, it has not been declared effective by the SEC by no later than January 31, 2009 (subject to extension by the Placement Agent), then the exercise price of the Investor Warrants will be reduced by 25% for each 30 day period or part thereof that the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC. However, if the Placement Agent, acting in good faith, determines that the Company has acted in a timely fashion with respect to filing and ensuring the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with the SEC, then the Placement Agent shall waive any reduction in the exercise price of the Investor Warrants that otherwise might apply.

Right of First Refusal

If and when the shares of the Company’s Common Stock have commenced trading in the public market (over-the-counter or otherwise), then the Company will not seek to raise any capital (debt or equity) for up to One Hundred Eighty (180) days after such trading begins, without first granting the investors in the Private Placement a right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”) to purchase additional securities of the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in any term sheet received by the Company in connection with the sale by the Company of additional securities within ten (10) business days of receipt by the Company of any such term sheet. The investors in the Private Placement will have ten (10) business days after being notified by the Company in which to exercise or decline to exercise this Right of First Refusal.

The Placement Agent

a.    Cash Compensation and Expenses. For its services in connection with the Private Placement, we have paid the Placement Agent the following consideration: (i) fees equal to Ten Percent (10%) of the aggregate gross proceeds received by us from the sale of Units ($402,750), and (ii) Three Percent (3%) of the aggregate gross proceeds received by us from the sale of Units as a non-accountable expense allowance ($120,825), for a total cash payment of $523,575.

b.   Shares.   We have issued the Placement Agent 402,750 shares of Common Stock, based on an aggregate of 4,027,500 Units sold in the Private Placement.

c.   The Placement Warrant. We also have issued to the Placement Agent a non-callable warrant (the “Placement Warrant”) to purchase that number of shares of our Common Stock equal to Fifteen Percent (15%) of the aggregate number of Shares underlying the Units sold or 604,125 shares based on 4,027,500 shares underlying the Units sold in the Private Placement. The Placement Warrant is exercisable by the Placement Agent on a cashless basis at Two Dollars ($2.00) per share for a period of five (5) years from the termination of the Private Placement (December 21, 2007).

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS
  
Business of Infobionics

We are a privately-held Minnesota corporation organized on July 10, 2000. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have 132 shareholders of record. Our current ownership is concentrated in our four (4) founding shareholders; John Bjelland, James Bjelland, Boris Gelfand and Donald Armstrong (the “Founders”), who, collectively, own, as of the date of this Prospectus, approximately 47.6% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Our offices are located in Eden Prairie and St. Paul, Minnesota.

During the period commencing on our incorporation through 2002, we received initial capital contributions of approximately One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) which, supplemented with certain loan proceeds, we used to fund our initial operations, including continued research and development, patent prosecution, etc. Once those initial funds were depleted (beginning in 2002), we scaled back our operations in order to focus our efforts and limited resources on the pursuit of our patent applications and to engage an initial customer or test contract for our Cellular Database Management System. With the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement entered into in April 2006 (discussed below), we had our initial customer and test contract. In addition, on March 21, 2006, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted the patent application for Data Cell and Data Cell Generation, with a total of fourteen (14) patentable claims. On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted the patent application for “Data Cells and a Method for accessing Data in a Data Cell”, with a total of twelve (12) patentable claims. Also, the United States Patent Office, acting as the International Preliminary Examining Authority, has issued an opinion that our international patent application (which includes inventions of the two (2) United States patent applications), is substantially acceptable to it.

We are engaged in the business of researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing, and eventually selling database technology for computer information processing in the commercial marketplace. We refer to this technology as the Infobionics Cellular Database Management System (“CDBMS), or a “5th Generation Data Management Technology.” As a 5th Generation Data Management Technology, the CDBMS is really a superset of the four major commercial database technologies that have preceded it: (i) the hierarchical databases of the 1950’s (IMS); (ii) the network databases of the 1960’s (IDMS); (iii) the relational databases of the 1970’s (Oracle, Sybase, DB2); and (iv) the object-oriented databases of the 1990’s (Objectivity).

Although there can be no assurances, based solely on management’s experience in this field, we believe that the CDBMS innovation could be one of the most important and economically significant data management products since the advent of relational databases (approximately 30 years ago). Substantial improvements in performance, flexibility, ease and speed of configuration and cost of ownership are the keys to its disruptive capability. We have received two (2) patents from the U.S. Patent Office covering an aggregate of 26 patentable claims for the cellular database design incorporated into the CDBMS.

Although there can be no assurances, our goal is to become a dominant force in the database market for managing intelligence and computational processes involving complex data management and information analysis. It is our opinion that such opportunities occur in: business intelligence, governments (defense), biotech and life sciences and intelligence management. We further seek to penetrate legacy markets through the ability to absorb existing databases and their applications and still preserve existing investments in current information management assets.

In-Q-Tel Development Agreement
 
In-Q-Tel, Inc. (“In-Q-Tel”) is a private, independent, not-for-profit strategic investor established by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Launched in 1999, In-Q-Tel states that its mission is to identify and invest in companies developing cutting-edge technologies that serve United States national security interests. Working from what In-Q-Tel describes as an evolving strategic blueprint defining the intelligence community's critical technology needs, we understand that In-Q-Tel engages with entrepreneurs, growth companies, researchers and venture capitalists to identify, adopt and deliver technology solutions to support the mission of the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the larger U.S. intelligence community (the “Intelligence Community”). It is our understanding that In-Q-Tel concentrates its efforts in three broad commercial technology areas: software, infrastructure and materials science, and that, to date, it has engaged with more than 90 companies and delivered more than 130 technology solutions to the Intelligence Community.

On April 21, 2006, the Company entered into a Development Agreement with In-Q-Tel (the “In-Q-Tel Development Agreement”). Pursuant to the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement, In-Q-Tel agreed to fund a work program to develop additional functionality in our CDBMS technology and to test its performance characteristics. We agreed to provide In-Q-Tel with certain design documents, test plans, demonstrations, test results and software (the “In-Q-Tel Deliverables”), and to make available to   In-Q-Tel, the CIA and other intelligence agencies installation, training and on-going maintenance and support services for a five-year period. The product licenses granted for this period are limited to 100 concurrent users in total. The Company has installed a beta version of its CDBMS software at In-Q-Tel’s laboratory, which is the first installation of our software outside of the Company. In addition, we have installed or have been in discussions to install the beta version of our CDBMS software in the laboratories of several other government agencies and contractors. Please see discussion below in the section entitled “Installations of CDBMS Beta Software” on page 22.

Sales to In-Q-Tel accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenues in 2006 ($275,000) and approximately 35% of the Company’s revenues in 2007 ($55,000).

We also have granted to In-Q-Tel, the CIA and other participating intelligence agencies a specific number of worldwide, perpetual, software licenses for evaluation and testing, for designing, developing and delivering solutions, as well as the right to use, reproduce and create applications based on the In-Q-Tel Deliverables. Lastly, the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement grants to the United States government an option to acquire licenses on commercially reasonable terms to be agreed upon between us and the United States government.

More specifically with regard to client and server software licenses, we have granted a limited number of licenses to In-Q-Tel, the CIA and other participating intelligence agencies. The terms include use of such software on test, development and production servers with a specified number of concurrent end-users. Lastly, permission to use such software is limited to licenses described above and cannot not be used in conjunction with additional licenses under any other license of such software.
 
In accordance with the terms of the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement, we have received total consideration of $330,000 for the services provided and the In-Q-Tel Deliverables. At this time, we have no further contractual arrangements with In-Q-Tel and do not anticipate any additional revenue from In-Q-Tel in the near future. If we are unable to attract new customers and generate additional revenue in the near future, we may not be able to continue operations.
 
In connection with the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement, we have issued a total of 75,000 shares of Common Stock to In-Q-Tel and the In-Q-Tel Employee Fund, LLC (collectively, the “Fund”) and we have granted to In-Q-Tel and the Fund warrants to purchase equity securities in the Company(the “In-Q-Tel Warrants”). As a result of the Private Placement, pursuant to the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement, In-Q-Tel and the Fund have the right to purchase from the Company up to a maximum of 147,059 Units, comprised of an aggregate of 588,236 shares of Common Stock, 294,118 Callable Warrants and 294,118 Non-Callable Warrants, at an exercise price equal to $3.40 per Unit (85% of the purchase price of a Unit in the Private Placement), for a maximum investment of $500,000. The shares of our Common Stock, the Callable Warrants and Non-Callable Warrants that In-Q-Tel and the Fund would receive were they to exercise their rights under the In-Q-Tel Warrants, would be identical in all respects to those included in the Units which were sold in the Private Placement, including, without limitation, the exercise period (in the event the exercise periods vary among the Investor Warrants, the Investor Warrants issued under the In-Q-Tel Warrants will have the same exercise period as the most favorable exercise period provided to any investor in the Private Placement) and exercise prices applicable to the Callable Warrants and the Non-callable Warrants.

The In-Q-Tel Warrants also include cashless exercise or conversion rights, pursuant to which In-Q-Tel and the Fund could convert all or a portion of the In-Q-Tel Warrants into a certain number of Units at any time during the exercise period of the In-Q-Tel Warrants without paying us any additional cash or other consideration. The aggregate number of Units that In-Q-Tel and the Fund could receive in any such cashless conversion is limited by the overall investment cap of $500,000. Assuming that each Unit has a fair market value equal to $4.00, if In-Q-Tel were to elect to convert all of the In-Q-Tel Warrants into Units, it would be entitled to 22,059 Units. The greater the fair market value of the Units (as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors), the greater the number of Units In-Q-Tel and the Fund could receive upon the conversion or cashless exercise of the In-Q-Tel Warrants, subject to a maximum number of Units that would result from the $500,000 investment cap.

Subject to the specific terms contained in the In-Q-Tel Warrants, the In-Q-Tel Warrants must be exercised by April 20, 2011, at which time they will terminate.

Existing Teaming Agreements and Future Teaming Arrangements

As a relatively new company, we recognize the importance and value that teaming arrangements with larger, well-established companies in the information management and technology industries can provide. This is particularly important with respect to federal contracting matters and prospective federal contracts. Consequently, we have dedicated significant time and effort in developing such teaming arrangements.

One such teaming arrangement has been entered into with International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), through its Business Consulting Services-Federal Division. Pursuant to this Teaming Agreement, dated November 29, 2005, IBM and Infobionics have agreed to work together in connection with engagements generated from the Intelligence Community.

We also have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of April 4, 2006, with RABA Technologies, LLC (“RABA”), a software and technology solutions provider. Pursuant to this Memorandum of Understanding (which is similar to a Teaming Agreement), RABA has agreed to work with us with respect to the development of imbedded security features in our CDBMS products, state-of-the-art multi-user capabilities, Intelligence Community consulting arrangements, and other matters.

We also are pursuing additional Teaming Agreements with other companies which management believes could add significant value to the Company. Some of the companies with which we have had preliminary discussions regarding possible teaming arrangements include Raytheon Company, a world leader in developing defense technologies and Northrop Grumman, a leading defense contractor. There can be no assurance, however, that these or other discussions will result in agreements with these or other companies.

Department of the Navy

In December 2006, the Office of Naval Research, Department of the Navy awarded the Company a Small Business Innovative Research (“SBIR”) grant. The Company was one of three companies awarded grants under this first phase of the project. First phase funding for this proposal was $70,000. This phase of the project focused on identifying new database technologies for the military intelligence community. In addition, we performed additional work for Phase I under a supplemental provision worth approximately $30,000 in connection with specific opportunities for the use of the Company’s technology by the U.S. Navy. All services to be performed by the Company under the grant have been performed and the Company has been paid in full for these services. At this time, we have no further orders or contractual arrangements with the U.S. Navy and do not anticipate any additional revenues from the U.S. Navy in the near future. If we are unable to attract new customers and generate additional revenue in the near future, we may not be able to continue operations.

Phase II funding for the Navy SBIR has been suspended by the Department of the Navy and it is unclear at this time when, or if, it will be reactivated. 

Sales to the U.S. Navy generated revenue of approximately 65% of our revenue in 2007 ($99,938). No sales were made to the U.S. Navy in 2006.

National Reconnaissance Office

The National Reconnaissance Office (“NRO”) builds and operates reconnaissance satellites for the United States. It is part of the Intelligence Community and plays a primary role in achieving information superiority for the U. S. government and Armed Forces.

The NRO has selected the Company to install its current prototype software in a laboratory that works on various government projects and with various national defense contractors. In particular, the NRO has requested that the Company install our current prototype software in a laboratory operated by The Aerospace Corporation (“Aerospace”). Aerospace is a provider of independent technical and scientific research, development, and advisory services to the U.S. national-security space programs and operates a federally-funded research and development center for the U. S. Air Force and the NRO supporting all national-security space programs.

The Company installed a prototype version of our cellular database in Aerospace’s laboratory during October 2007. We will be working with Aerospace to determine where the cellular database technology can be applied within the intelligence community in the near and long term. Our goal will be to demonstrate to Aerospace the significant potential that our technology has to offer in managing data base applications requiring advanced query and analysis capabilities.

USJFCOM and DTO Presentation

The Company was requested by the U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) (one of the U.S. Department of Defense’s nine combatant commands with key roles in transforming the U.S. military’s capabilities), in conjunction with the Disruptive Technology Office (DTO) (a funding agency within the U.S. Intelligence Community), to participate in a 3 day conference in Suffolk Virginia during the last week of September 2007. The conference was intended to bring together companies that USJFCOM and DTO believe have the most compelling technologies to address the immediate and future needs for data collection, management and analysis. We gave a presentation of our cellular database technology, and met with potential strategic partners, provided demonstrations at a Company booth and had access to many analysts and program specialists within the Intelligence Community who attended this conference.

Installations of CDBMS Beta Software

To date, the Company has a beta software of its CDBMS installed at In-Q-Tel, Aerospace Labs, BAE Systems, Spadac Corp., Rutgers University, and University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute. In addition, plans are in place to deliver the beta software to the Department of the Navy and the CIA, subject to agency staff resource availability. Other government agencies (the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency) have expressed an interest in evaluation of our software, but due to the current resource limitations, we have not solidified any arrangements with any of these other government agencies.

Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions

The inventor of our cellular database technology, Boris Gelfand, and several other contributors to the development of this technology have spent over fourteen (14) years researching and developing the core technology of CDBMS. Much of this work preceded our formation and was conducted by Mr. Gelfand and others while employed by another company. However, all rights to the core technology that this other company may have claimed, if any, have been assigned to Mr. Gelfand. Further, pursuant to a Technology Assignment Agreement, dated December 18, 2000, Mr. Gelfand has assigned to us all of his right, title and interest in the technology underlying the Company’s CDBMS, including, without limitation, all patent applications.

 
22

 

Two (2) United States patents and one (1) international patent (which include inventions of the two (2) United States patent applications) were applied for in connection with our CDBMS, with over fifty (50) claims to protect our intellectual property rights in the CDBMS technology. The two (2) United States patent applications are named as follows: “Data Cell and Data Cell Generation”, and “Data Cells and a Method for accessing Data in a Data Cell”. Together, these two (2) patents address our core cellular database concepts incorporated into our CDBMS.

On March 21, 2006, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted the patent application for Data Cell and Data Cell Generation, with a total of fourteen (14) patentable claims. On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted the patent application for “Data Cells and a Method for accessing Data in a Data Cell” with a total of twelve (12) patentable claims. In addition, the United States Patent Office, acting as the International Preliminary Examining Authority, has issued an opinion that our international patent application (which includes inventions of the two (2) United States patent applications), is substantially acceptable.
 
We believe that for any database design to overcome the numerous limitations of relational (and all other) databases, it must use a fine-grain data element, or cell-type construct, with mechanisms to order them into relationships. As a result, we have focused our patent protection on the fundamental design of the ‘cell’ and dynamically arranging cells in models, rather than the whole database. We believe that this strategy is similar to one employed by Mr. Singer, who patented ‘the hole in the needle at the pointy end’ rather than the whole machine, which resulted in nearly every sewing machine manufacturer having to license his patent in order to manufacture a sewing machine.

We anticipate filing additional United States and international patent applications in order to further protect our intellectual property. We will be engaged in the patent protection process for the foreseeable future, however there can be no guarantee that we will succeed in obtaining complete patent protection for all elements of the CDBMS technology.

We have not entered into any franchise agreements or other contracts that have given, or could give rise to, obligations or concessions.

Existing or Probable Government Regulations

There are no existing government regulations, nor are we aware of any regulations being contemplated, that would adversely affect our ability to operate.

Research and Development Activities and Costs

Approximately 10% of our current spending in the development area is dedicated to further research. This research falls into two categories: improved performance and flexibility of the CDBMS database engine and research into potential application areas or platforms where the database can have the biggest impact.

Performance and flexibility are critical attributes because of the explosion of data that is being collected in the marketplace. There is also a need to analyze the data to better understand the dynamics of the market or conditions from which the data is being collected. During the past 10 years the market has gone from analyzing hundreds of gigabytes of data to analyzing tens of terabytes of data. These numbers are estimated to routinely reach into the petabyte realm within the next decade.1

We believe that there are also several important recent developments with respect to hardware driven by nanotechnology that will dramatically impact hardware profiles of computer systems in the not too distant future. We plan on taking advantage of these developments and believe that we are in a good position to do so because we are not encumbered by a design that is wedded to any particular hardware profile.

Compliance with Environmental Laws

We are not aware of any environmental laws that have been enacted, nor are we aware of any such laws being contemplated for the future, that address issues specific to our business.

Facilities
 
We lease offices at 7700 Equitable Drive, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 which serve as our main offices. Our address for correspondence is 756 Goodrich Ave., St. Paul, Minnesota, 55105.
 
 Employees

Infobionics is a fully-operational company with 10 full-time employees and 6 independent contractors. This includes a full time management team comprised of John Bjelland (Chairman of the Board and CEO), Carl Bonta (President and COO) and David Haggerty (VP of Development). William Brady (CFO) assists the Company in an oversight capacity. Currently, he does not receive any compensation from the Company for his services. We have a full-time bookkeeper who reports directly to Mr. Bjelland and also is subject to oversight by Mr. Brady. Boris Gelfand, the inventor of the CDBMS technology, has advised us that he is available to the Company to consult on an ad hoc basis. We also have a number of software engineers and infrastructure IT engineers, most of whom work as full-time employees. The activities of these engineers are software architecture programmers/analysts activities, server and network support activities and product testing and documentation activities. Finally, we also have engaged part-time contractors to assist with administrative tasks.
 
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees, particularly senior management, engineering, direct sales and support personnel. The competition for such employees is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting or retaining key employees. Any failure we have in attracting and retaining qualified senior management, engineering, direct sales, and support personnel could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any work stoppage. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Reports to Security Holders

We will voluntarily make available to securities holders an annual report, including audited financials, on Form 10-KSB or 10-K. Currently, we are not a fully reporting company, but upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, we will be required to file reports with the SEC for a certain period of time pursuant to the Exchange Act (e.g., quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB or 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K).

The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at www.sec.gov.

OUR CELLULAR DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

“A 5th   Generation Data Management Technology”

Introduction    
 
We have designed CDBMS to be a simple, fast, elegant and highly functional database that incorporates a novel “cellular design” mimicking some of the functions of neurons and synapses found in the human brain in order to emulate the brain’s storage, search and retrieval of data capabilities. Similar to the mechanics of the brain, the technology functions by placing small amounts of data in individual information cells, and then linking this data through specialized link cells that connect data into sets that are associated by certain characteristics. Unlike any other database technology commercially available today of which we are aware, this technology keeps data and relationships separate, which allows users the flexibility to revise and add data and relationships with ease, without compromising the integrity of access to the data or the database performance, and also allows data to belong to many sets simultaneously.

CDBMS is built upon a uniquely different database design from what is commercially available today. It is far more dynamic and readily adapts to understand and store data without predefined organization (e.g., static data tables), which we believe constricts functionality of current database technologies. CDBMS is agile, flexible and does not need or use long drawn-out design procedures. There are no tables and no fixed data structures to normalize, and the technology works to combine or eliminate redundancies and indicate errors.
 
Release 1 of our CDBMS product has been completed and delivered as a beta product to potential customers for evaluation starting in June 2008. Release 2 of our product also has been completed and recently delivered to potential customers for evaluation as well. To date, our CDBMS product has been installed at the Aerospace Labs (NRO and Aerospace testing), In-Q-Tel Labs (In-Q-Tel & CIA testing), BAE Systems, Spadac Corp., Rutgers University and the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute. We also are in discussions with other government agencies and commercial concerns regarding additional beta product installations.

The Release 1 beta product is an early stage product and was given to potential customers for the purpose of gaining immediate feedback on product function, features and performance. Feedback from potential customers to date has been positive and is on-going.

Release 2 of our CDBMS, which also has been completed and delivered to evaluation customers, incorporates product enhancements request by a potential customer along with functional and performance enhancements including:

 
·
Enhanced data storage features for improved speed and efficiency

 
·
Various features to the core database engine like data aggregation and target list expressions

 
·
Minimal graphical interface items for end users

 
·
Minimal technical documentation
 
Delivery of Release 3 of our CDBMS product is planned for the final quarter of 2008. The following are the enhancements currently planned for Release 3:

 
·
New graphical user interface program for maintenance and demonstration of our CDBMS product

 
·
Conversion from Berkeley DB JE to Berkeley DB Core for improved data storage speed and efficiency

 
·
Improved capability to navigate dataset links

 
·
Additional data types to support geographic information system (GIS) applications

We anticipate being able to deliver the above enhancements and features during the time-frames mentioned using our current employees and contractors. However, this is based on current development activity planning projections, which are subject to change and estimating errors. Additional labor resources may be required in order to meet target dates.

Although uncertainty exist as to the exact level of functional capability and performance required for our products to gain initial market acceptance, we currently expect to begin seeing initial product sales during the last quarter of 2008 or in early 2009.
 
The team continuing to further develop our technology is well experienced in the design and implementation of all generations of databases and particularly relational databases. Using this experience, the team studied the significant intrinsic problems with the theoretical design and implementation of relational database theory. The team recognized real world practicalities: the challenges in creating valid data models for applications, the intense design effort to make data structures performant, and the burden of ongoing support and maintenance. We concluded that current commercial database technologies are often too expensive to build and maintain, and too inflexible and difficult for non-technical people to use with ease. The team attributed this to the fundamental design, and was convinced that adding more complexity to a relational database would only compound the problem, and that a fresh ground-up approach was required.

We found inspiration in the human brain. The human brain recognizes new information with ease, has the capacity to relate seemingly unrelated data, can store partial information and revisit and change it as necessary, and can search and discover unknown patterns. The brain’s dynamic capability and the associative memory processes provided the breakthrough ideas. It has taken many years of research and development to formulate and fully develop the concepts, and then rigorously test them in computer code. As a result, we began in September 2000 with an extremely meticulous design backed up by a substantial amount of research code and test cases that we believe have proven that this design overcomes all major technical hurdles.

The first version of our product will run on top of an existing database while the future product is targeted to be a complete stand-alone product with its own database. A possible future product may be a stand-alone release that will take longer to develop, yet, if we do develop it, we expect it will yield impressive gains in performance and functionality that we believe will be in demand in the future. We expect that the next version of CDBMS (Release 3) will be available in December 2008. Although we are considering developing a stand-alone product, we have not begun development on that product and its release, if any, will depend on the Company’s financial resources and market demand for this type of product.

  Most of the critical features in our product are currently functioning and indicate the product design will function as expected. This includes all basic functionality to enter cell structures, populate them with data, build relationships between sets of data, write and read the data to disk, and query the data.

During the last 30 years, the relational database market has expanded rapidly.1 As a result, based solely on our opinion, we believe that the use and storage of electronic information by businesses and individuals will continue to grow, as will the overall database market. Relational databases comprise a substantial portion of this market. We believe, however, that new activities in rapidly growing life sciences areas such as bioinformatics and genome research, and the information explosion on the worldwide web demand greater flexibility, more agility, and increased capacity to handle new data streams. We believe relational databases cannot improve substantially to take full advantage of these new opportunities.

Relational databases store data in two-dimensional tables and impose rigid relationships between rows, columns, and other tables. However, the world is not two-dimensional and its information needs don’t fit neatly into these rigid relationships. As a result, relational database designers “daisy-chain” relational tables to mimic multiple dimensions, and data and relationships end up in very complex structures that render relational databases neither agile nor flexible. Once they contain large amounts of data, it becomes difficult to change their definition (rows/columns/tables). Only experts (database analysts) can maintain and manipulate large and sophisticated relational databases. To extract data, user applications must ask explicit data questions or ‘queries’ (based on a command language called SQL — Structured Query Language) using the exact names of the tables containing the data to be accessed, in exact technical ordered sequences to extract the data. Relational databases work best when the tables are pre-designed to answer questions that are known in advance.

Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft have very good relational databases that have served the marketplace well up to a point. However, the Company believes that relational database technology has reached its fundamental design limits. We believe that, even if database engineers were to provide ‘add-ons,’ or ‘turbochargers,’ relational technology lacks the flexibility, agility, and ‘carrying’ capacity to support the increasing needs of the market.

We believe that CDBMS has the potential to be faster and take less skill to build and maintain than database technology that has preceded it. It is very user-friendly and in most instances it should not require technical assistance to add data or perform queries. This is because we developed the cellular design with very fine granularity of data contained in individual data cells and specialized link cells that connect and associate data together. Its database management functions keep data and relationships separate, allowing users the flexibility to change data or relationships at any time without compromising the integrity of the access or database performance. This technology is protected by the Company’s patents and, based on our research and the patents themselves, no database technology of which we are aware currently supports this functionality in this manner. We believe that this technology is a necessity in order to provide computing functions that are agile enough to keep up with the speed of business and to provide an infrastructure capable of supporting new developments in the Internet, as well as self-healing systems. We believe that some of the main competitive advantages of our new database technology include:

 
a.
It will be substantially less expensive to build and maintain than current commercial databases,

b.
A wide spectrum of low skilled people can use it easily to find answers in data,
 
 
c.
It finds answers in data and relationships that may be very difficult to find using current databases (for example, a user, without knowing upfront exactly what he or she is looking for could ask, “What do the two following datasets have in common?”)

 
d.
It can work just like a current relational database (so all the same SQL-based experience tools still work) and at the same time provide new features and capability, and

 
e.
It can intrinsically ‘better-manage’ pictures, x-rays, video, voice, and standard numbers/text.

In our opinion, with current relational database systems, finding solutions for many information management requirements can be very time-consuming and complex as to be of little practical use. With relational database systems, there is a practicality that must be understood in terms of the challenge in creating valid data models for applications, the intense design effort to make data structures performant, the speed with which changes can be implemented, and a realization of the effort required for ongoing support and maintenance. Relational databases have served their purposes well for 30 years. But now, we are bringing the 5th Generation Database to the market; a new technology that has been designed to leverage all that has been learned about relational databases and significantly improve upon the design to better serve today’s information explosion.

Technical Summary of CDBMS
 
CDBMS technology provides a simple way to organize, store and search data. Symbolically, CDBMS incorporates a list of cells that can be easily organized and searched. Each cell is comprised of 4 parts: the data value itself (e.g., a particular employee’s social security number) plus 3 numbers that characterize that value. The first of these 3 numbers designates a unique group (or set) to which the value belongs (e.g., 100). Collections of cells with matching group (or set) numbers form a set. The second number represent the entity type (e.g., employee), and the third number establishes the attribute for the entity (e.g., name). Combining the 3 numbers, or identifiers, provides a unique index and logical address in the database for each data value - analogous to XYZ coordinates. Consequently, the CDBMS indexes every data value automatically and guarantees optimum performance without the need for external intervention by technical experts. In fact, we believe that the CDBMS is the first data management technology that manages performance and structure internally without the need for high cost technical help.

CDBMS manages digital data of any size and any format with equal facility, including numbers, text, video, voice and graphics, and will accommodate emerging formats as well. This is because the data slot in a CDBMS data cell can accommodate the different formats and sizes of data. An integrated data dictionary provides associative properties to link, relate, categorize and search all digital data.

Another critical component of our CDBMS technology is the “link” cell. Link cells define associations or relationship between data sets. Connecting a data value to multiple data groups occurs simply by adding link cells to the list (note that the order in which a link cell is placed in the “list of cells” would be unimportant). In order to fully support and control data cells, CDBMS provides forward and backward look-up or linking techniques. As a result, cells have a way to find each other since CDBMS intrinsically understands the linking information.

Utilizing separate data cells and link cells, CDBMS keeps data and relationships separate, which allows for ad hoc changes and additions to the database without negatively impacting performance, access to data or the structural integrity of the database. By doing so, our technology ensures that ad hoc changes to either one will not spoil performance, data access, or structural integrity. This separation, combined with CDBMS’s unique, automatic indexing of all data cells helps the system rapidly match raw data to the analysts’ queries, without slow, computer resource-intensive operations such as relational table joins. Before touching raw data, CDBMS first uses indices (a very performance oriented way to represent relationships) to find out the data set or sets that are required and then, because it knows the precise storage location of every data element, it pulls only what it needs from the disk. This elegant and simple mechanism yields better query performance than today's approaches that are forced to sort through data and relationships after unnecessary volumes of data are retrieved. These mechanisms also assure that as the size of the database grows and data complexities increase, query performance scales in a near linear manner. The Company believes that such flexible grouping and linking is a simple, yet unconstrained way to build any data model, no matter how complex.

 
27

 
 
CDBMS stores data in very natural ways that people can readily understand and query. Any piece of data can belong to any number of groups (or sets) at the same time, and link cells provide extremely fast pathways to locate any data or data sets from any start point. The Company believes that this is an elegantly simple database technology, which will provide easy, yet very powerful, data modeling resulting in faster, more intuitive query processing than all previous database technologies. CDBMS permits non-technical people to quickly sift through data because it accepts free form queries in the natural and incisive way that most people search, complete with ambiguities, unknowns, unclear parameters with respect to data and relationships (e.g., “anything red”). CDBMS responds with what it knows in response to any inquiry, and the user then can ask a new question based on the results making it easy and intuitive to hone in on the precise answer. Our CDBMS technology is based on a new, patented database design with three distinct and very important functional attributes that, based on our research, we believe differentiate it from any database technology currently in existence, including the current market leader - relational databases. These attributes are:

·    Expressiveness - CDBMS can answer many inquiries and perform certain commands that current databases cannot perform. Data inquiries are subtler, more compendious and plainly usable and cross type barriers (e.g., combining ordinary data with metadata).

·    Flexibility - CDBMS can change and restructure both data model and data "on-the-fly". We believe that CDBMS combines more flexibility and agility than any current commercial database. In particular, CDBMS frees the database designer from committing to a structural design that is only valid until the next application requirement (as is the case with current relational and object databases).

·    Granularity - CDBMS can answer queries, update data and perform database commands with more precision, completeness and simplicity than is possible with both relational and other historical databases. This is in part due to CDBMS’s finer internal granularity, controlling many aspects of the database at the “data cell” level. Other databases use a much broader and less precise granularity (e.g., a record, page or table). For example, CDBMS’s granularity can support locking out all other users when doing updates at a precise single data cell (e.g., single data field level). In addition, it provides the key building block (a single data cell) of cells to build the historical data tables, networks of objects or records needed for compatibility with all prior database technologies (including relational and object databases). Finally, we consider this cell granularity to be a key component or structure necessary to build tomorrow’s future advance knowledge capabilities.

We believe that our CDBMS technology will excel in an environment where people ask many and varied questions that are not necessarily planned in the original database design, and in any environment where the data, and relationships between the data, can be expected to change. Management believes that CDBMS’s true value is in its extreme agility and flexibility. This agility and flexibility is inherent in the CDBMS design and allow anything in or about the database to be changed as needed without long drawn-out procedures, making all changes immediately available with a powerful and easy to use search capability. The flexibility of the data model does not require detailed definitions of the application ahead of time. With relational databases, as a general rule, the application must be defined before building the application. With CDBMS, new data can be added easily to accommodate changing requirements. We believe CDBMS’s relatively simple set-up and built-in optimizing processes should result in significantly reduced labor costs for any company to own and operate.
 
We anticipate that CDBMS should result in lower cost of ownership for its users through significant reductions in specialized high-skilled staff to manage the database, and should remove significant expenses and inefficiencies from the duplicate methods of distributing the same data in any entity. It also should facilitate quicker and easier entry and turnaround of timely and accurate data from which customers will be able to make important decisions. For example, a company may be interested in data analysis to detect fraud from patterns in sales data, or to quantify the results of a sales coupon campaign with quick feedback to restock inventories in the correct demographic locations. In the area of bioinformatics, CDBMS would provide significant agility and flexibility in connection with data modeling of complex information sources that can be changed and updated as quickly as scientists make new discoveries and develop insights. We anticipate that CDBMS can assist in the efforts of drug discovery and development companies worldwide that are attempting to craft tactical homegrown solutions to bridge the gap between ‘static’ relational databases, and a work environment that must extract and integrate complex scientific data from diverse sources such as gene banks, test data, and microbiological structural data. Furthermore, we believe that the CDBMS technology will be extremely valuable in database applications where companies cannot provide highly trained database engineers (e.g., schools, small and local business operations, government, etc.).

Summary of Main Technical Capabilities and Advantages

Our CBDMS has a neurologically-inspired design based on data cells and link cells (similar to neurons and synapses found in the human brain). This elegantly simple design results in powerful features for much simpler data modeling, updating, associative searching and performance improvements that could revolutionize information management and result in significant benefits to those companies and other organizations that employ the system. CDBMS’s key technical advantages include:

1.   A cellular database model is simple and natural to develop and deploy. It is agile and flexible and does not need long, drawn-out design procedures.

2.   Cellular modeling is so powerful that that CDBMS can be both a cellular database and a relational database at the same time.

3.   One data model meets the needs of all users and applications (the organization and structure of data does not affect the access to data).

 
28

 

4.   CDBMS provides an excellent platform for data warehouse staging.

5.   CDBMS contains an integrated data dictionary which inventories and controls all data and relationships.

6.   CDBMS provides an extensive query capability that is easy to use and, unlike current database technologies, is not restricted by specific SQL criteria or indexing choices.
 
7.   CDMBS manages all digital data of any size, including numbers, text, video, voice and graphics, and will accommodate emerging formats.

8.   CDBMS automatically indexes all instances of data values with three efficient indices.
 
9.   CDBMS could become the “unified data storage system”, acting as a superset of all previous databases. Data from the older systems could be imported into a CDBMS and users would be able to take advantage of new data types, dynamic addition of new data, etc. Updates would be accommodated via new data access layers or APIs consistent with the historical database’s API, thus allowing the use of the old query tools and the running of the older database applications. Additionally, CDBMS also could accommodate the storage and management of “objects”, inclusive of access layer(s) for application usage of these objects.
 
10.   CDBMS can integrate structured and unstructured data from disparate data sources.
 
11.   CDBMS can be a cornerstone for the next breakthrough in data management as a result of its associative data relationships, “change on the fly” capabilities, fuzzy logic inferencing, etc.
 
12.   CDBMS could provide significant improvements (on the level of orders of magnitude) in data access at the disk storage level, reducing data access times and data flow from the disk controller to the CPU.Our CDBMS technology provides an extensive query capability that is easy to use and, unlike current commercially available relational database technologies of which we are aware, is not restricted by specific SQL criteria or indexing choices. This will allow users to query for data without having to know the particular data structure and metadata, yet retain the benefits of a structured database. Essentially, users will be able to query data in a way that is similar to how Web search engines query the internet for data. We believe that this is a groundbreaking approach to querying structured data that should have a significant impact in the database application market. One way to understand the potential importance of this facet of our CDBMS technology is to consider the following illustration. If you were interested in searching the Web for information on the Battle of Normandy in World War II you can simply type “Battle of Normandy” in the Internet search engine. We tested this recently using the Google search engine and came up with approximately 2,030,000 hits. Obviously, it would be necessary to refine this search further in order to make use of any of this data. So, we refined our search with the term “U.S. casualties”. This resulted in approximately 433,000 hits. Of these hits, the search engine determined that 814 were unique in some way and the remaining 432,186 were deemed similar to those hits. The search engine displayed the 814 unique hits and provided us with the ability to access the remaining hits.
 
Then, clicking on a number of the 814 unique hits, we found that it was necessary to search even further within the data in order to reach the relevant information and, in some cases, the information could not be located at all.
 
This example illustrates a drawback of “unstructured” databases, such as the Web. The database is essentially in free form text and it is difficult for the search engine to make enough sense of the information requested to return only relevant hits.

A solution to this problem is to put data into a structured database. Such a database allows for more precise queries that can render results which are more relevant. However, one of the issues faced with traditional structured databases, including relational, is that you need to know the structure and metadata of the database in order to query it. For example, if the data is stored in a relational system a query to find this same information might look something like this:

“Select Casualties from WarInfo where War like “World War II” and Battle like “Normandy” and Country like “U.S.”

In a relational system, this query must be very precise and include certain definitions such as the following:

Table name: WarInfo
Attribute names: Casualties, War, Battle, and Country
Data Strings: “World War II”, “Normandy”, and “U.S.”

If any of this information is incorrect or misspelled an error will occur. This means that the user must have a precise knowledge of the structure of the data as well as the metadata. Nonetheless, if conducted properly, the result will yield a precise answer to a query for U.S. casualties at Normandy in World War II very quickly without the user having to read through lengthy web pages to find the answer. This is the power of structured data.
 
However, in a traditional relational database, the user would need to know a lot about the data structure and metadata in order for this query to bring back successful results. It would be much easier if we could query the system using normal language and syntax such as:

“Retrieve U.S. casualties at Normandy”

This is how a query would be made using our CDBMS technology. We believe this search capability, along with the other facets of our CDBMS technology represents an important breakthrough in structured database technologies and could have a significant impact on the database application market.

THE MARKET FOR CDBMS
 
Market Need and Opportunity

The demand for what many in the industry refer to as ‘data discovery’ products or business intelligence products is growing.1 This is in part because the amount of electronically stored data is growing at an increasingly rapid rate. This is true for both structured data (e.g. traditionally relational table data) and unstructured data (documents, pictures, etc.). Industry observers have noted that the ability to collect data is growing faster than current technology can analyze it.2 And, we have determined based on the experience of Company management and research in this area, that one of the main problems in the current database environment is that this growing body of data is trapped in its own data structures and formats such that it cannot be easily retrieved, accessed and interrogated except with substantial effort and cost. We believe that today’s tools and techniques do not measure up to the task of today’s end users’ need for both (i) traditional data discovery and (ii) the need to easily make ‘intelligence’ out of the growing mass of stored data.
 
As a result, based solely on our opinion, we believe that what is needed in this area cannot be accomplished with today’s technology. Rather, it will require rethinking both the hardware and software necessary for effective data management. We believe that our cellular database may be a key component in the future of data discovery, data analysis and data management.

Databases are integral to some of the most powerful computer applications in all aspects of industry, commerce, government, and other fields. They are found in e-commerce, customer relationship management, banking, insurance, the movie industry, manufacturing, federal agencies, governments, life sciences research, and so on. Today, the relational database is the industry standard and dominates a large market. We believe that the principal factors around which database companies currently compete and will continue to compete in the future are functionality, scalability, ease-of-use, product architectures, scope, reliability, market specialization, and brand name recognition.
 
Within the huge database market, we have identified “intelligence management” as a primary target market of our CDBMS products. We believe that CDBMS’s features bring such compelling advantages over existing database technologies that considerable market opportunities can best be described as "low hanging fruit." In particular, biotech and life sciences data management, government intelligence and security applications and corporate business intelligence all offer significant opportunities for us.

Furthermore, we believe that CDBMS is suitable for deployment in additional market segments which involve very complex data and knowledge applications. This could occur by adding incremental features to CDBMS for advanced knowledge management related to ‘fuzzy-logic’ and ‘inferencing’.

a.   The Business Intelligence Market - Government and Commercial Sectors

Based on our own market research, we believe that the burgeoning intelligence management market is currently one of the primary growth drivers in database sales3.  Business intelligence involves helping enterprises store, sort, search, and analyze vast amounts of internally and externally generated data to make smarter, more effective decisions. For example, retailers often must conduct intense ‘data discovery’ to search sales data to get fast answers to questions about who's buying what and when, so they can determine inventory and product markdown policies. Unlike other commercially available database technologies of which we are aware, our CDBMS technology is unencumbered by rigid database structures to negotiate (such as data-tables) and has simple, but far more powerful, query capabilities. These features ensure business people can answer questions without having to rely on expensive, often unresponsive technical help.
 
b.   The Bioinformatics Market

In addition to the business intelligence market, we believe that CDBMS’s cellular database can make a valuable contribution in support of the emerging bioinformatics field in the biotech and life sciences markets. Based solely on our opinion, we believe that most of the current database technologies are not well suited to exploit the financial potential of converting research flowing from, for example, the genome project and pharmaceutical drug engineering, into revenue. Needs are complex, they change rapidly, and the IT infrastructure must tolerate many different data sources, computer tools, and analysis techniques to leverage the current data assets. The database must be agile, highly scalable, and present many different aspects of the same data for scientists developing hypotheses. In our opinion, the Company’s CDBMS technology meets all of these requirements.

In our view, current products in this market offer short-term tactical solutions without addressing some fundamental issues that are needed to help the researcher ‘work the data’. The researcher wants to examine the data in all manner of combinations, to integrate new sources, to dissect, recombine, and remodel the data in a quest to uncover hidden knowledge. Using current database technologies this requisite ‘flexibility’ for managing data is elusive. Whereas, once again we believe that CDBMS provides this all-important flexibility.

c.   Imbedded Database Market and OEM Market

We also plan to deliver our CDBMS cellular database solution into the embedded database (original equipment manufacturer or OEM) market. In our opinion, sales through pre-packaged software applications appear to be driving growth of database sales in this segment of the market. This market is characterized by software vendors creating specific business solutions with a database at its core. Marketing to this segment will focus on the unique technical features available in our CDBMS and not available in existing database systems. An example of a vendor in this market segment would be a company which is in the business of creating software applications for the movie industry to manage video and audio clips. Managing the attributes to sufficiently describe these assets requires custom solutions. A company in this industry has looked with interest at our cellular approach and its built-in functionality to manage these attributes. We have also approached other companies in other industries that we believe could benefit from CDBMS to ‘dynamically’ attribute data. Other examples in this segment include companies needing to manage metadata or the “data about the data”. Another company that provides financial consolidation and business intelligence products to the marketplace examined our metadata management capabilities. This company and others have stated that one of their serious challenges is to develop a system to manage metadata that is continuously changing and growing. This company and others have looked at our cellular approach and expressed that they were very impressed with the cellular database’s dynamic functionality with respect to managing metadata. It is our opinion that many of these vendors do not like using relational databases because of their limitations and are looking for the capabilities delivered in our product.

Management initially has identified several OEM market areas where the features of our CDBMS may be especially compelling: manufacturing for operational control; medical records and patient accounting; collaborative research and document management; workflow and document processing; profitability analysis and reporting; logistics and delivery (activity and delivery based costing); market research analysis and tracking; and critical success factor analysis and reporting. We believe that there may very well be many other OEM market areas that will be particularly well suited for our CDBMS products as well.
 
d.   Intelligent Storage Market

We are aware of several potential customers for our CDBMS products in the intelligence storage market, which involves large storage and disk drive manufacturing. We have had preliminary discussions with two of these potential customers to consider installing portions of the software into the hardware or microcode to bring ‘intelligent storage’ devices to market. Such devices may behave as special purpose combinations of hardware and software called ‘storage appliances’ and must include agile management of metadata that storage management software must use to manage and optimize constantly changing data.

Although there can be no assurances, we believe that, within the intelligence storage industry, the ultimate and most economically valuable implementation of application independence is likely to be in a Virtual Database Appliance (VDA) - a hardware and software device that both manages a user's database and provides all necessary storage functions. Accessible locally or on a wide area network, this appliance is a requirement for the deployment of true, networked storage utilities. Yet it has eluded development efforts in the storage industry due to the interdependency between storage, database, and application/data layers of the computing architecture and the still inadequate application awareness of middleware.

We understand that a Virtual Database Appliance has been the goal of the storage industry for many years, as well as the objective of extensive development, but, as far as we are aware, a commercially-viable solution has eluded the industry due to the lack of any mechanism that is application and data format independent. Application independence, through the mechanism of our new, patented cellular database structure incorporated into our CDBMS product, provides an elegantly simple path to the Virtual Database Appliance goal.
 
Market Strategy

We are pursuing the development of a single product at this time and may consider a second version of the product at some time in the future. The first version of the product runs on top of an existing database while the other will be a complete stand-alone product. With respect to our first product, we have chosen to use a 3rd party imbedded product due to the cost-effectiveness of a buy strategy (vs. build in house strategy) and the improvements in the functionality provided by 3rd party solution partners. This will allow us to deliver a more complete and performant product on a timely and cost effective basis. We are programming our solution in Java which should be well received by the market as Java is very popular in the information technology marketplace.

A possible second product may be developed which we anticipate would be a stand-alone product that, if we do go forward with developing, we expect will take longer to develop, yet we believe should yield impressive gains in performance and functionality. We anticipate that the next release (Release 3) of our first product will be available during December 2008, while the stand-alone version’s release, if any, will depend on our financial resources and market demand for the product .

 
31

 

Although there can be no assurances, we anticipate achieving market-traction using these two product approaches over the next 3 to 5 years. This will involve delivering our CDBMS solutions to the corporate business intelligence, government, bioinformatics, and the embedded database markets.

We have had preliminary discussions with many companies which could be potential purchasers of our CDBMS products. To date, over 20 companies have expressed an interest in testing our CDBMS. These companies vary from small startups to very large corporations, and run the gamut of the sales landscape that we have been approaching for managing intelligence (as discussed above). If we ultimately were successful in engaging only a fraction of these companies to purchase the CDBMS solution from us, then we believe we could gain the necessary market traction to achieve eventual profitability.
 
During our initial marketing stages, we anticipate proving the CDBMS technology and its myriad of benefits to a select number of trial accounts. Additionally we already have received expressions of interest in this regard from many well-respected organizations in the bioinformatics market.

Initial Marketing Efforts

We have conducted many successful presentations to various government intelligence and defense agencies. Included among these was an invitation to present at an NRO technology briefing. This briefing was attended by senior members of government organizations and several large defense contractors. In follow-up visits, senior technology scouts have reviewed the technical underpinnings of our cellular database and determined that, although there can be no assurances, it may play an important role in future government applications digging deeper into the product. We understand that these individuals are on the front-end of a multi-billion-dollar effort to build the next generation computational infrastructure for solving the security problems associated with Homeland Defense. Based on our discussions with representatives from various government agencies, discovery of unknown patterns, linkages between groups, individuals and events, time-based cause and effects, and integrating disparate unknown data are all issues for these agencies.

We are also in the process of developing relationships within the government and leading government contractors such as Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, RABA and IBM. Although there can be no assurances, each of these companies has expressed interest in working with us on various potential government opportunities. In fact, we have entered into agreements with both IBM and RABA. See Section above entitled “Existing Teaming Agreements and Future Teaming Arrangements”.

We also have discussed the cellular database with several pharmaceutical firms. Most have expressed a keen interest in participating in an early trial of the cellular database as a key component in the technical infrastructure for a drug research workbench tool. Currently, physicians typically select drugs for patients based upon individual knowledge, experience and the sales and marketing influence of drug companies. We understand that the DNA makeup of an individual is the critical factor in determining the efficacy of any drug. The premise is that better techniques for choosing the most effective drug on an individual basis will occur if researchers can correlate personal characteristics. Additionally, researchers are developing discovery techniques to find the useful side-effects of current drugs that can be marketed successfully. The work that drug researchers need to perform requires a computationally efficient and agile data management environment to identify significant data relationships. For example, in ‘personalizing’ drug choices, characteristics that correlate could be shoe size, blood pressure, eye color, cholesterol, ethnicity, etc. In our opinion, using existing database technologies, this would be a laborious, time-intensive, and extensively manual process.

We also believe our CDBMS technology holds significant promise in the management of bioinformatics related to micro-array analysis. Micro-array technology is a revolutionary technology that has become an indispensable tool for global gene expression. DNA micro-arrays are used to measure gene expression for thousands of genes simultaneously, in a single experiment, and to compare expression profiles of different samples. DNA micro-arrays provide a high-throughput method of determining genetic alterations underlying disease etiology and response to treatment. DNA micro-arrays produce a large amount of heterogeneous data, including array images, experimental protocols, statistical analysis, graphs and plots and values for other variables. Based solely on our opinion, we believe that current databases are not geared for managing micro-array data. The unique characteristics of our CDBMS database to handle structured and unstructured data in dynamically changing data models make it exceptionally suitable for storing and searching micro-arrays.

Another example of possible use of our CDBMS is in the biotech and life sciences field for data storage access, pathing, and retrieval of scientific knowledge. It is our opinion that current large scale database repositories are very limited in the flexibility to provide both uniquely-modeled data and uniquely pathed data by an individual researcher. Based solely on our own research and experience in this field, we believe that the current ‘state-of-the-art’ solutions are inadequate to handle the data configurability, data changeability, and data relationship complexities of the large research communities. We believe that current solutions also lack sophisticated data pathing and data presentation features needed to support both the general need and the individual knowledge researchers need. CDBMS addresses these shortcomings.

Sales Model and Strategy

Our initial sales strategy is based primarily around potential customers that already are known to us. This does not require a traditional sales force, and involves far lower expenses for marketing, sales, and administration; assuring an organizationally lean company while we prepare the first version of the product, and penetrate early accounts. We intend to establish ‘lighthouse’ accounts in the business intelligence and data discovery areas — the ‘sweet spot’ for growth of a successful company. Many large information management projects require the staging and mining of data for corporate, sales, and insurance data. We believe that we can isolate customers wanting to leverage the uniqueness of the cell-based database applications to give interesting answers about the data and its context, and who need to achieve results in less time with lower information technology (IT) labor costs.

We anticipate hiring more staff appropriately, particularly a senior Sales VP, as opportunities and sales revenues increase. Ultimately, to penetrate intelligence opportunities, we plan on operating a direct sales force for North America that, eventually, will be extended to Europe. Other locations such as Asia and Latin America could require an indirect sales channel. We do not expect to make inroads into international markets until we have established ourselves in the U.S. market. The sales model is a predominantly product-based model with separate annual maintenance revenues and services supplied by us for implementations, consulting, and training.

We expect to develop operational channels through the myriad independent systems integrators that will supply some or all of the following: sales and marketing; systems implementation and integration; customization; and ongoing consulting, training, service and technical support. In addition, we will leverage the sales capabilities of value added resellers and OEM software vendors in the target markets, particularly where their advantage comes from domain specialization.

We anticipate that the marketing and sales departments will sell the solution to those integrators and introduce them to opportunities within their scope. After introducing the benefits of our products, and lured by a substantial project, we expect that integrators may be able to deliver new opportunities to us. However sound we think this tactic might be, during the early days of penetrating a vertical market we will supply a quick start program to ensure a stronger forward momentum. This ‘push-pull’ strategy and associated tactics is characterized by us pushing the product to the integrator channel and at the same time encouraging demand (or the pull) from the end-user community.

Our sales strategy provides opportunities for marketing, joint venture, or strategic relationships. The CDBMS database allows any provider of software products built around a database to improve its market success by offering increased flexibility and substantially improved performance, in addition to lowering its development costs and improving time-to-market. We can support a number of such relationships with little disruption to operations. Typically, such strategic partners have their own distribution and implementation channels that will be aggressively leveraged. We have received interest from software companies in the medical services and manufacturing industries. We are prepared to offer qualified and constrained exclusivity to such niche market players with the appropriate commercial terms.

For this type of technology in its early stages, we expect that the sales cycle will be six to eighteen months or more in duration. This estimate is subject to a number of variables which we may be able to influence but cannot control. These variables include customers’ budgeting constraints, fiscal budgeting cycles, and internal acceptance review procedures. We anticipate large-scale deployments to take longer to close. We also anticipate protracted sales cycles in advance of customer acceptance of the technology prior to the successful completion of the first implementations. We also expect many small trial orders for combined products and services.

Potential Competitors

Our competition will be defined by how we position CDBMS in the marketplace. We do not intend to position CDBMS as a generalized database to compete head-on with Oracle, IBM, or Microsoft. For example, we do not expect to market CDBMS for use in an airline reservation system where the task is very well understood and can be well structured within current relational technologies. In the pure intelligence markets, there is a sometimes competitive and sometimes complementary situation with the business intelligence applications and tool vendors. This could include venders such as Hyperion and Cognos, which are among the largest players in this market. Others include Computer Associates, Business Objects, Brio Technologies, Crystal Decisions (Seagate), Hummingbird, and MicroStrategy. Although there can be no assurances, we may approach one or more of these companies as strategic partners that can use our technology as the engine that drives their solutions.

In the bioinformatics and knowledge management field, CDBMS provides a comprehensive database that is suitable for day-to-day researchers having diverse and complex information. As a result, this need for more comprehensiveness in features will temper the competition from the database market majors. Moreover, with potential partners, we will provide the information technology infrastructure and tools integration in a scientific ‘workbench’ for knowledge discovery and new product development. In our opinion, this market is very immature, offering competition primarily from in-house IT activities to develop integration middleware. We believe that, currently, none of the major companies in this field offer good solutions and there is no other dominant player in the market with an adequate solution.
 
Recently, however, we have become aware of several new companies entering this marketplace (in particular the business intelligence/data warehouse segments). At least one of these potential competitors is believed to be a foreign company. We believe that most of these companies are start-up companies and only a few of them actually have developed products. To our knowledge, none of these potential competitors, however, has a product or is working on a product that contains all of the elements of our CDBMS. Although there can be no assurances that this is the case, we believe that the most integral and commercially valuable elements of the CDBMS are protected in the United States by our U.S. patents. We also have filed for European patent protection, although those applications remain pending. We believe that it is too early to determine whether or not any of these companies will, in fact, become real competitors of the Company and our CDBMS products. We continue to monitor the progress of these companies and intend to aggressively protect our patented intellectual property rights should that become an issue with any potential competitors.
 
The following is a summary of the advantages that we believe are offered by our CDBMS in the bioinformatics and knowledge management field:

1.   The ability to change, alter or adapt the data model real time. Thus we no longer must have a complete and comprehensive data model meeting the numerous rules of   a relational database before initiating use of the database. This is a database that can change every day to reflect what we learned yesterday.
 
2.   The ability to create far richer search capabilities for data query and mining that are both more powerful and significantly easier than today’s products with your ‘cellular’ search capabilities.
 
3.   The databases’ integrated and feature rich data dictionary/Meta data dictionary that can be simultaneously searched by users, and combined with raw data searches, to provide better answers to user queries.
 
4.   The ability to richly interface with a variety of databases and file structures. In particular, the ability to interface cells of data in this database to ‘cells’ of data at a researcher’s desktop, in a manner far beyond what is capable today.
 
5.   The ability to easily manage multiple views of data. That is the ability to both manage individual user views of the data (including additions of their unique data) while also managing a company or research group’s wide view of the same data.
  
6.   Compatibility with ANSI SQL (& ODBC) and relational database technology to both provide rich integration to current systems and also to allow use of tools developed for relational technology

The discussion below in this Prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the database industry in general and the market for database technology for computer information processing, in particular, and on certain assumptions made by the Company’s management. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those set forth herein and in the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risk Factors.” Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Introduction
 
We are a Minnesota corporation incorporated on July 10, 2000. We are engaged in the business of researching and developing, manufacturing, marketing and eventually commercially selling, a new and potentially disruptive database technology for computer information processing in the commercial marketplace. We refer to this technology as the Infobionics Cellular Database Management System (“CDBMS”), or a “5th Generation Data Management Technology.” As a 5th Generation Data Management Technology, the CDBMS is really a superset of the four (4) major commercial database technologies that have preceded it: (i) the hierarchical databases of the 1950’s (IMS); (ii) the network databases of the 1960’s (IDMS); (iii) the relational databases of the 1970’s (Oracle, Sybase, DB2); and (iv) the object-oriented databases of the 1990’s (Objectivity).
 
We are focused on continuing to develop our products. We already have provided a test product to In-Q-Tel, Inc., a private, independent, not-for-profit venture group established by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Our contractual arrangement with In-Q-Tel, Inc. also provided for the purchase of CDBMS software licenses for a limited number of servers on behalf of In-Q-Tel, and three other federal agencies. Although we do not currently expect to receive any additional revenue from In-Q-Tel, Inc. at this time, our original agreement with In-Q-Tel requires that we provide on-going support for a limited period of time. See “In-Q-Tel Development Agreement”. We also were awarded a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant from the Department of the Navy and have performed all services required in connection therewith and have received all revenue provided for from the grant. In addition, we have requests and arrangements to install our current prototype software in a variety of laboratories that work on various government projects and with various national defense contractors. In total, based on the above agreements and/or other arrangements, the prototype software is planned to be installed in the laboratories of six agencies and the US Navy Intelligence Labs. Currently two of the labs have this software installed with others in the installations being arranged. Infobionics Incorporated also has a number of teaming agreements with larger, well-established companies in the information management and technology industries.
 
Our corporate mailing address is 756 Goodrich Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55105 and our telephone number there is (651) 221-0965. Our main office is 7700 Equitable Drive, Suite 102, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, 55344 and the telephone number at that office is (952)767-2927. Our website address is http://www.infobionics.com.

Sales
 
The Company generates sales revenue from software license sales and related services. Sales to date have been based upon U.S. federal government contracts. Total sales revenue in fiscal 2007 was $154,938, a decrease of $120,002 from fiscal 2006, which was $275,000. The decrease in revenue was due to our fluctuating contracts with the U.S. government. Based upon our current status, we anticipate that our revenues will continue to fluctuate in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009. Although, currently, we have no agreements in place pursuant to which we will receive revenue from customers, we expect that revenue from our continuing sales efforts will become much more significant over the next several years.
  
Operating Expenses
 
Operating Expenses are comprised primarily of expenses in the Software Engineering (R&D), Sales and Marketing and General and Administrative functions of the Company. Expenses in all areas increased in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006 as the Company placed additional focus and effort on establishing, developing, and formalizing the business operations. This included the use of outside contractors in all areas until such time that the Company could formally establish and implement a permanent staffing strategy. Non-personnel related costs increased as the Company placed effort on securing its first government contract in fiscal 2006, continued finalizing patent application documents and dedicated effort to the Software Engineering (R&D) function.
 
Included in these expenses are the legal and professional expenses necessary to support the business initiatives as they relate to our internal efforts in the areas of patent documentation, general legal requirements and overall accounting matters.
 
As shown in our Nine-Month financial period comparison (below), the Operating Expenses will continue to rise in fiscal 2008. We anticipate that to continue through the balance of fiscal 2008 and into fiscal 2009 and beyond as the Company builds its infrastructure in support of the business.
 
Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net. Non-Operating Income (Expense) consists primarily of interest income. For fiscal year 2007, Net Non-Operating Income was $36,444. For fiscal year 2006, Net Non-Operating Expense was ($55,520). The net change in Net Non-Operating Income (Expense) from fiscal year 2006 to 2007 of $91,964 was primarily due to an increase in interest income due to our investment strategy. The 2007 net number includes $101,644 of interest income during the fiscal year. The interest income is due to the ability to invest proceeds from the Private Placement until such time as such funds would be utilized by the business operations. Based on continued use of existing debt, we anticipate that Non-Operating Expense will continue to increase in fiscal 2008 while Non-Operating Income will decrease as we use our funds in the business.

Provision for Income Taxes. For fiscal years 2006 and 2007, we recorded no state, federal or foreign tax provisions due to reported net losses. We expect the same to be the case in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009.

Sales
 
Historically, the Company generates sales revenue from software license sales and related services on a contract or grant basis. These amounts tend to be periodic and not on a consistent basis.
 
Total sales revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was $0. The total sales revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 was $70,000.
 
Based upon proposals submitted, we anticipate that our revenues will continue to fluctuate in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009. We expect revenue from database software sales will become more significant over the next several years.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 were $1,419,611, an increase of $667,997 over Operating Expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 of $751,614. These expenses are comprised of our Software Engineering (R&D), Sales and Marketing, and our General and Administrative expenses. The increase was due to the expansion of business operations in support of our product development and commitment to building our cellular data base system. We increased our initiatives in all areas to include establishing our Software Engineering (R&D) facility, continued focus on Sales and Marketing to the U.S. government, and the formalization of the Company through improvement in its internal accounting and reporting systems.

Additionally, the Company developed a staffing strategy that shifted our hiring from independent contractors to full-time dedicated resources. Our independent contractor expenses are decreasing due to this strategy as we find full-time staff to fulfill our needs. We have implemented accounting, human resource, and benefits systems and procedures across the Company as part of that strategy. We will continue to expend resources in these areas, as needed, in order to attract and retain talented professionals. We are striving to be highly competitive in our compensation and benefits offerings in order to attract the necessary key talent.
 
Included in these expenses are the legal and professional expenses necessary to support the business and its growth as part of its general business requirements and its complexity, as they relate to patent documentation, general legal, and accounting and other regulatory matters.
 
 
37

 
 
Based upon our ongoing efforts in these key areas of our business, we anticipate the operating expenses will continue to increase in fiscal 2008 and beyond.
 
Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net. Non-Operating Income (Expense) consists primarily of interest income or interest expense for the periods presented. Interest income is primarily due to interest earned on the proceeds of the Company’s Private Placement which was completed in December 2007. Interest expense is due to interest accrued on outstanding notes payable. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, Net Non-Operating Income (Expense) was ($14,844), and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, Net Non-Operating Income (Expense) was $22,312. This increase in Net Non-Operating Income (Expense) of ($37,156) was due primarily to a reduction in cash and certificates of deposit as the proceeds from the private placement were utilized in the business operations. Based upon the continuing use of these proceeds, a decline in investment interest rates and continued accrual of interest expense on outstanding notes payable, we anticipate that Net Non-Operating Income (Expense) will continue to be a net expense for the balance of fiscal 2008 and in fiscal 2009.
 
Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded no state, federal or foreign tax provisions, due to reported net losses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. We anticipate that no provision for income taxes will be required for the balance of fiscal 2008 or in fiscal 2009.
  
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2008, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit (collectively, “cash”) of $891,202, compared to $2,238,331 at December 31, 2007, and $2,637,510 at September 30, 2007. Accounts receivable at September 30, 2008 were $0 compared to $87,017 at December 31, 2007 and $27,148 at September 30, 2007.
 
Cash decreased by $1,347,129 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 when compared to year end of fiscal 2007. The majority of this net decrease was the result of cash being utilized to fund business operations. Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and full year (year end) fiscal 2007, was $0 and $1,777,601, respectively. During the nine month period ending September 30, 2007 the Company received $1,750,479 in cash from financing activities from the sale of stock. The net decrease in cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 over fiscal year 2007 was primarily due to the fact that the Company has closed out the Private Placement. Therefore, no sales of our common stock occurred pursuant to the Private Placement in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 .
 
We expect that the cash balance will fund Infobionics’ operations until early fiscal 2009. Thereafter, we will need additional financing in order to fund our operating losses and other working capital requirements. Currently, we do not have a bank facility or other working capital credit line under which we may borrow funds. We expect to obtain further financing through additional sales of our securities to investors, as well as the exercising of options and warrants by the holder of such options and warrants. We do not, however, have any commitments from any third parties to provide additional financing at this time.
 
Based on our current cash flow budget, our anticipated minimum cash requirements or capital needs over the next 12 months will be approximately $2.5 to $4.0 million.  The lower end of the range would fund operations as they are today and the higher end of the range would allow us to expand further into areas such as sales and marketing, training, and consulting for our customers.  The high end of the range also allows us to begin the development of our second product in the next 12 months if we decide to go forward with the development of a stand-alone product.  The precise amount within the range will depend on customer acceptance of the product in the marketplace and the necessary functions to support that acceptance.  The significant portion (in excess of 85%) of our cash needs is for personnel and personnel-related costs in the functions of software engineering (R&D); sales and marketing; and in the general and administrative areas that support the business.  The majority of the remaining amount will be used for equipment, software, licensing, and other technologies in support of product development.
 
Future liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors including the level of business from operations and our ability to raise additional financing. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet our working capital needs for any future period. 

Material Variations - Known Trends or Circumstances

The Company is unaware of any other known trends, events or circumstances which could reasonably have a material impact on the Company’s operations or liquidity other than those presented above. Should the Company fail to secure additional financing in early fiscal 2009, the business itself may need to be curtailed or even cease its operations until such financing can be secured. There are no material commitments for capital expenditures or any other material financial commitments at this time. The Company is dependent upon the acceptance of its product in the market. Until such time, that acceptance cannot be predicted with any certainty. The Company’s product is currently being evaluated by key potential customers. That evaluation may or may not lead to market acceptance. The Company has a unique and patented approach to storing and retrieving all forms of data to include text, video, and other file formats. With an ever increasing demand for effective storage and retrieval of data,1 the Company believes that its product will offer a means to provide those functions in a manner not provided in the market at this time.

Key Performance Measures

The key performance measures that assist the Company in measuring its progress and in evaluating its acceptance in the market include the monitoring and reporting of its cash utilization and sources/uses of cash. They also include tracking open contracts, reviewing customer RFP’s (Requests for Proposal), deriving feedback on our customer product evaluations, and monitoring our internal expense budgets to stay within our annual budget parameters. The Company has implemented and maintains effective systems and procedures for project management, accounting, and management reporting.

Qualitative/Quantitative Factors Discussion:
 
We maintain a formal cash budget. To date, our monthly and annual cash spending has been in line or even less than the budget. Effective use of cash is a key item as part of our ongoing operations. We utilize formal reporting to measure our status every month. And, if necessary, we adjust the timing of expenditures to stay within budget on an annual basis.

During fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 and for the interim period through September 30, 2008, the Company had varying amounts of cash for purposes of budgeting and expenditures. From January through March, 2006, we budgeted and spent less than $500. Upon receipt of a customer payment in April, 2006, we budgeted and spent approximately $95,000 over the next seven months (October, 2006) in connection with developing our CDBMS product and to raise further capital through a private placement of our Common Stock. Upon the first receipt of private placement funds in November 2006, the Company began to further staff it business functions. As noted above, approximately 85% of our cash spending has been personnel-based. Therefore, we increased our budgets and spending in line with our staffing plan.

In December 2006, we started spending approximately $30,000 per month using the proceeds from our private placement and have increased our budgeted spending and actual spending to approximately $150,000 per month through September, 2008 as we have increased staff and added to our business complexity. Our current plan calls for spending of approximately $180,000 per month as we near the end of fiscal year 2008. As stated earlier, we have enough funds available for the business and budgeted to take us into the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
 
Management is satisfied with the level of expenditures through the periods presented. As noted above, cash spending has been in line or even less than the budgets. We anticipated that further funding would be needed by the end of fiscal 2008, but we have been able to extend available cash into the first quarter of fiscal 2009 through effective planning and utilization. We are aware of the need for further sources of cash by the end of the first quarter 2009 and are planning for another funding raise prior to the end of the first quarter 2009.

Follow RFP to Order Status

Qualitative/Quantitative Factors Discussion:
 
Even with little revenue to date, we must track the status of anticipated orders from our current and prospective customers. This type of measure goes through phases from customer interest through trial usage through RFP (Request for Proposal) release through order award. We track our customer interest through these phases, even though we may not yet have a firm order. This allows us to anticipate and be prepared for the possibility of a custom order. There are a number of companies and organizations that have advised us that they are interested in our product at this time although no firm commitments have been received. As a corollary, we have had prospective customers budget for an expenditure with us in one fiscal period, only to delay purchase due to their internal budget issues. This performance measure allows us to track the “starts and stops” of just such activity.

As discussed in the “Description of Our Business” section of this Prospectus, in April 2006, we entered into a Development Agreement with In-Q-Tel, a private, not-for-profit strategic investor established by the CIA. In addition, in December 2006, we were awarded a Small Business Innovative Research grant from the Office of Naval Research, Department of the Navy. All deliverables under each of these agreements have been satisfied and we have received all revenue required under the applicable agreements. In-Q-Tel and the U.S. Navy have been our only revenue-generating customers to date.

Prospective customer interest has increased over the periods presented. In early 2006, we had identified approximately six direct companies or government agencies that expressed interest in reviewing and testing our database at the appropriate time. That number has more than doubled over the timeframe presented. Although we currently have no firm commitments from any prospective customers, there is a high level of interest in our CDBMS product. Please see the discussion in the “Installations of CDBMS Beta Software” section of “Description of Our Business”, on page 20 of this Prospectus.

Management is satisfied with the Company’s performance under both the In-Q-Tel and U.S. Navy agreements and our ability to monitor these contracts as they were being performed. Management also is satisfied with the growth in the number of organizations interested in our product. We further expect this number to grow as we are able to have the product tested in the market.

Project Tracking
 
Milestone Measurements
 
Project Mgmt Software
 
Approve/Revise

Qualitative/Quantitative Factors Discussion:
 
We formally track our project performance to ensure that we meet our schedule and our commitments to our prospective customers. We utilize a phased methodology with a detailed work breakdown structure. Tasks have deliverables as an indicator of completion. Each database developer is assigned tasks at a measurable level. Effort is tracked and adjusted as needed. We are satisfied with this performance measure and our ability to track projects to date.

Our projects are quantifiably tracked using an estimate of labor hours and of tasks that need to be performed. The effort was nominal in early 2006 and increased significantly once the Company received the In-Q-Tel contract and the U.S. Navy grant. See the discussion above regarding Open Contracts/RFP Tracking. Currently, we are utilizing approximately 1,200 work hours per month in connection with the development of our CDBMS database.

The level of effort is in line with management expectations based upon our staffing and availability of resources. As we get closer to market release, we expect to see additional effort applied and directly toward testing, customer installation, and documentation. These items will be planned and tracked as resources become available.

Product Acceptance
 
Determine Functional Acceptance by Customer
 
Communications/Walkthroughs
 
Revise Design, as needed

Qualitative/Quantitative Factors Discussion:
 
Each of our product-related projects has key milestones indicating the release level of the product. For example, we currently have a beta product. Our product acceptance program follows a software release life cycle with the following phases:
 
1. Pre-alpha
2. Alpha
3. Beta
4. Release candidate
5. RTM - Release to Manufacturing
6. GA - General Availability
7. Production/Live release

As to a quantifiable measurement, we track the phase of the software release life cycle. As stated, we started with the project in phase 1, a Pre-Alpha release in early fiscal 2006. Currently, we are in phase 3, Beta Release, ultimately working toward phase 7, Live Release. Please see the “Installations of CDBMS Software” section in “Description of Our Business” on page 20 of this Prospectus. Management is satisfied with the current phase of the project.

As stated above, we are at the Beta phase with our product. We are moving toward the Live Release phase. In the Live Release phase, we provide working models of the product to prospective customers for their evaluation against their stated and requested functionality. Customer input is communicated to us in a number of ways to include system walkthroughs. Product functions are then adjusted based upon this input. To date, we have had only a few product installations. Customer input has been provided to us from these installations and we have adjusted product functions based on this input.

Overall Budget Performance
 
Actual Compared to Annual and Monthly Budget
 
a. Internal Budget
b. Annual Plan
 
Track, Report and Revise

Qualitative/Quantitative Factors Discussion:
 
We maintain an annual budget (expense and capital) and track our expenses against that budget. Budgets are by function and expense category. We track our business by the areas of Software Development, Sales and Marketing, and General and Administrative. Our expense categories include all anticipated expenditures. To date, we have maintained our expenditures within budget.
 
Our budget was very limited in early 2006 due to limited cash availability. See Cash Utilization/Flow in item 1 above. Our financial plans in that timeframe reflected that limited cash. Our budgets now reflect our current spending of approximately 60% for Software Development, 10% for Sales and Marketing, and 30% for General and Administrative activities. Management sees these levels as in line with expectations due to the current stage of the Company’s maturity. For example, the General and Administrative expenses are a higher percentage than what is anticipated in the future due to the higher proportion of management, accounting, and legal fees at this time in connection with the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. As the Company matures, we anticipate a higher percentage expended in the areas of Software Development and in the Sales and Marketing functions, with a lower percentage on General and Administrative activities.

Investment Performance
 
Track Utilization of Investments to Maximize non-Operating Earnings
 
a. Investment Evaluation Software
b. Investment Performance Tools
 
Deploy Funds, as Available and as Needed

Qualitative/Quantitative Factors Discussion:    
 
Historically, we have planned and measured our investment performance to maximize earnings from our stock proceeds. Using various tools, including custom-developed tools, we have been able to provide additional cash for use in Company operations by tracking utilization of investments. This has assisted us greatly in reducing the need for additional outside financing.
 
The Company has generated over $150,000 in interest income from the investment of the proceeds from the Company’s private placement throughout the periods presented (beginning in fiscal 2006 and continuing through interim periods of fiscal 2008). This has increased funds available for Company use. Management has maximized its investment returns through the use of its software and tools while maintaining a low risk profile by investing in only money market or CD funds. This is line with the overall investment strategy of the Company.

Industry Trends
 
Understanding the Database Market
 
Various Information Sources to Include Articles, Reports, and Industry emails
 
Review/Circulate Relevant Information

Qualitative/Quantitative Factors Discussion:
 
The Company tracks industry information related to the database market. Sources include market reports, articles about new product technologies, and industry emails and web sites. Based on this information, we believe that the trend is for the continued need of sophisticated database products to capture, store and retrieve massive amounts of data in a highly organized and efficient manner. We are encouraged by the trends to date and believe that our product will serve the database market very effectively. We do not anticipate that there will be any change in these trends at this time.
 
The Company has increased its sources and knowledge base of industry trends over the periods presented. In early 2006, our information was more informal and from varied sources. While not necessarily quantifiable, we have increased our market research and intelligence sources through increasing our purchase of industry reports, monitoring various websites and newsletters, and attending various conferences, meetings, and symposiums. Management recognizes that these are good sources of market information as to industry trends, yet, we also realize we are challenged in this area due to the fact that there is little or no reference to the proprietary technology incorporated into our CDBMS product. We will remain vigilant in this area in order to track and monitor market activities related to the database market.

While we maintain a small staff of less than approximately two dozen professionals at any one time, we consider ourselves to be formal and professional in the development and implementation of key performance measures. We also utilize outside professionals, in a judicious and necessary manner, to assist us in the areas of technology, project management, sales and marketing, accounting, legal, and other business matters. As a leading edge technology company, we also maintain advisory relationships within the academic community at various universities around the country. They assist us in the performance measurement area with their knowledge and input from various sources to include information that ranges from accepted technologies to research.

It should also be noted that, as a company focused almost exclusively on bringing our database to market at this time, many potential measures and trends are not generally material to us at this time. As the Company grows, its sophistication and complexity will follow suit in this area. As such, we anticipate increasing both the breadth and depth of our key performance measures over time.

In summary, about 85% of our expenditures go toward staff and staff benefits. And, to date, we have little or no revenue when compared to our level of expenditure in any fiscal month or quarter. With that in mind, the most important measures are the tracking of our cash usage, our expense budget, and the project performance of our database software team. We believe that these key performance measures provide management with valuable information regarding the operations of the Company and are very satisfied with what these performance measures have told us about our operations to-date.
 
Related Party Transactions

The Company has notes payable outstanding to four Company officers, each of whom also is a shareholder of the Company and three of whom are Company Founders. Of the total $357,338 in notes payable outstanding, $271,206 is due and payable to John Bjelland, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, in the form of two notes, one for $80,000 and another for $191,206. These notes are reflected on the Company’s financial statements as current liabilities (notes payable to related parties, $357,338 as of September 30, 2008) and liability for accrued interest in connection therewith ($283,867 as of September 30, 2008). The maximum amount outstanding with respect to these related party notes was $357,338. Below is a summary of the terms of these notes payable:

All but one of these notes originally were issued to the persons listed above for either money advanced by that person to the Company to cover then-current operating expenses or to evidence amounts owed to such persons for Company expenses incurred and paid by the note holders in connection with Company business. The one exception is the $80,000 demand note now held by John Bjelland (the “3rd   Party Note”). In 2001, the $80,000 Note originally was issued to an independent third party who was (and remains) unrelated to the Company. At the time, the Company had depleted all of its cash and additional funds were needed very quickly in order to meet payroll and other Company obligations. The Company located an individual who was willing to loan the Company $80,000 payable in 1 year, with 15% interest, certain warrant rights and a personal guarantee from John Bjelland. When the 3rd Party Note became due one year later, the Company still had no funds available to pay the Note. Instead of default on the 3rd Party Note, John Bjelland paid the principal and accrued interest thereon to the original holder of the 3rd Party Note and the Company now is indebted to Mr. Bjelland for this amount.

All of these notes were issued during the period from 2001 through 2006, during which period the Company had depleted its cash and was unable to locate any other source of capital. The 3rd Party Note was an arms-length transaction with terms considered reasonable by the Company at the time due to the Company’s financial situation and lack of alternatives for funding. This also was the case with the other notes listed above, all of which originally were issued during the same period commencing in October 2001 and ending in 2002. The 3rd Party Note and the other notes all were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors after evaluating the Company’s financial situation, lack of alternative sources of funding and the overall fairness of the transactions to the Company in light of its circumstances, including, without limitation, the 15% interest rate applicable to the 3rd Party Note and the 12% interest rate applicable to all of the other notes. The terms of the notes are all identical, except for the interest rate. The 3rd Party Note, which was the result of an arms-length negotiation with an unrelated third party, has a higher interest rate than the other notes. As a result, the Company believes that, at the time that these transactions were entered into, they were more favorable to the Company than what the Company could have obtained form independent third parties, except for with respect to the 3rd Party Note which was negotiated with an independent third party.

All of the notes are demand notes which are due and payable by the Company upon demand of the note holder. Although each note holder has the ability to demand payment of his note at any time, the Company is not aware of any intention on the part of any of the note holders to do so. Nonetheless, the Company believes that it could repay each of the notes, other than those held by John Bjelland, from funds currently available and anticipated to be available in the near future, if payment were demanded. Furthermore, John Bjelland has indicated that he does not intend to demand payment of his notes until such time as the Company receives additional financing or other sources of funds. As shareholders of the Company, each note holder has a vested interest in the success of the Company and demanding payment of the notes at this time (or at any time prior to additional financing) would likely have a negative impact the value of their investment in the Company. This is particularly true with respect to the notes held by John Bjelland, a Founder of the Company and the holder of 26.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

Concentrations of Risk
 
In 2007, approximately 35% ($55,000) of the Company’s total revenue ($154,938) resulted from sales to In-Q-Tel, Inc., (“In-Q-Tel”), a stockholder of the Company. The remaining 65% ($99,938) resulted from sales to the U.S. Navy. In 2006, 100% of the Company’s revenue ($275,000) resulted from sales to In-Q-Tel.
 
In 2007, 100% of our accounts receivable due from customers ($29,938) resulted from sales to the U.S. Navy. In 2006, 100% of our accounts receivable ($50,000) resulted from sales to In-Q-Tel.
 
In-Q-Tel, Inc. is a private, independent, not-for-profit venture group established by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Launched in 1999, In-Q-Tel states that its mission is to identify and invest in companies developing cutting-edge technologies that serve United States national security interests. In connection with the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement entered into between In-Q-Tel and the Company, the Company has issued 23,863 and 51,137 shares of common stock to In-Q-Tel and its affiliate during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Although the relationship with In-Q-Tel and the U.S. Navy has been important to the Company, the Company will not be relying on sales to In-Q-Tel or the U.S. Navy in the future. All amounts due and payable to the Company have been paid by both In-Q-Tel and the U.S. Navy. Although currently, we have no agreements in place with In-Q-Tel or the U.S. Navy (or any other party) pursuant to which we will receive any additional revenue, we anticipate continuing discussions with these parties regarding possible additional revenue-generating arrangements in the future. It should be noted, however, that we are continuing to provide database software to In-Q-Tel under the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement. It is our intention, and a requirement for the Company to succeed going forward, to develop a much larger broader customer base to achieve our financial objectives. To date, our customers have reviewed a prototype or beta version of the product. Our development efforts today are to finalize the product so that it may be sold commercially to that larger and broader customer base. The contracts with both In-Q-Tel and the U.S. Navy assisted us in developing our CDBMS product, but we never have considered them material to the overall success of the Company. We maintain a strong professional relationship with both In-Q-Tel and the U.S. Navy. The lack of any future revenue from these entities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results. This is because no material future revenue was ever anticipated from either entity. Our arrangements with In-Q-Tel and the U.S. Navy were for specific product deliverables and we have complied with the applicable contract requirements. Nonetheless, we currently have no agreements in place pursuant to which the Company expects to generate future revenue. If we are unable to attract new customers and generate additional revenue in the near future, we may not be able to continue operations.

The Company has granted warrants (In-Q-Tel Warrants) to In-Q-Tel and its affiliate that were part of the contractual terms of the Development Agreement with In-Q-Tel. The In-Q-Tel Warrants have an exercise price of 85% of the Private Placement shareholder price of $4 per Unit ($3.40 per Unit) with a limit of an overall investment of $500,000 and are exercisable for 147,059 Units issued in the Private Placement. This equates to 588,236 shares and 588,236 Callable and Non-Callable Warrants. The IQT Warrants expire April 2011 and include cashless exercise or conversion rights.  The Callable Warrants for 294,118 shares are exercisable at $2 per share and the Non-Callable Warrants are exercisable for 294,118 shares at $4 per share. These warrants expire June 2009.

A discussion of the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement also is presented in the subsection entitled “In-Q-Tel Development Agreement” in the “Description of Our Business” section of the Prospectus and in NOTE 9 - STOCK WARRANTS in our notes to financial statements presented elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance-sheet arrangements currently in effect or that were in effect during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, including, but not limited to, any guarantee contracts that have the characteristics defined in paragraph 3 of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (November 2002), as amended; any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement, any obligation that could be accounted for as a derivative instrument, or any obligation arising out of a variable interest (as referenced in FASB Interpretation No. 46, as amended). We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make certain estimates and apply judgment that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. On an ongoing basis, management reviews our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. While management believes that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, actual results could differ from our estimates, and such differences could be material. Our significant accounting policies are described in note 1 of the Notes to our audited Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 included elsewhere in this Prospectus. There have been no changes in our accounting policies or estimates since our incorporation.
 
The discussion in this section of “critical” accounting estimates or assumptions is according to the disclosure guidelines of the SEC, wherein:
 
 
1.
the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and
 
 
2.
the impact of the estimates and assumptions on the company's financial condition or operating performance is material.
 
Additionally, the Company makes many other accounting estimates and assumptions in preparing its financial statements and related disclosures. Although not associated with "highly uncertain matters," these estimates and assumptions are also subject to revision as circumstances warrant, and materially different results may sometimes occur.

 
43

 

Due to the nature of our business, we have relatively few critical accounting policies and estimates. Also, generally, they are not material. Our business is comprised mainly of personnel payroll expenses and the costs associated with maintaining our staff. It should be noted that we do not need to estimate or codify, via policy, many traditional items. They do not exist for our business today. Our critical policies and estimates are described in the following table:
  
Item
Critical Accounting Policy (“CAP”) Area
      
Company Estimate/Position
1.
Deferred Tax Assets
 
While we have noted deferred tax assets of $1,154,000 in 2007 and $677,000 in 2006 in the notes to our financial statements, we have maintained a valuation allowance which eliminates the asset from being reported on the statements themselves. We will recognize the deferred tax asset only as we generate taxable income. Therefore, there is no exposure of asset write-down or impairment with our current policy.
2.
Retirement Benefits/Unfunded Liability
 
The Company provides a 401(k) employee benefit plan to assist employees with saving for their retirement. The fund is funded immediately at each payroll. There is no corporate match at this time and there are no unfunded liabilities.
3.
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
The Company owns no buildings or land. Equipment assets are minimal and asset lives are based primarily on technology lives of three to five years. We bear minimal risk of impairment charges to equipment. Total impairment exposure is under $60,000.
4.
Patents
 
Patents are estimated at their useful lives. The investment is subject to impairment through technological obsolescence. The total impairment exposure is under $40,000.
5.
Sales Revenue/Accounts Receivable
 
Sales revenue is recognized via a written contract and not until product is delivered to the customer. Accounts receivable are recorded at contract price, upon delivery of product.
6.
Warranty
 
The current warranty policy is that the product is sold as-is. We have no unfunded or any other warranty liabilities at this time.
7.
Equity Instrument Pricing
 
As a private company, we have faced the challenge of how to price our various equity instruments. Over the years, we have used formal and established practices in determining Common Stock, option and warrant values. Further information regarding our equity pricing is presented in Note 8 to our audited financial statements included in this Prospectus. Set forth below is a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimated with respect to estimating the value of our Common Stock, stock options and warrants.
 
Common Stock
 
In the past, we have utilized an internal valuation approach as permitted by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to determine the fair value of our Common Stock. Specifically, we selected the ”early-stage company or illiquid start-up”, a safe-harbor exemption under Section 409A as our approach to valuing our Common Stock. The Company meets the following criteria for using this valuation approach: 

 
·
We have been in business for less than 10 years,
 
·
We have no publicly traded class of securities,
 
·
We have not reasonably anticipated a change in control within 90 days of the prepared report,
 
·
We have not reasonably anticipated a public offering of its stock within the next 180 days of the prepared report, and
 
·
Our stock is not subject to any put or call.
 
   
In accordance with this valuation approach, we took into account a number of general valuation factors for purposes of valuing our Common Stock at each valuation date, including the following:

 
·
The value of our tangible and intangible assets,
 
·
Our cash flows,
 
·
The market value of stock or equity interests in substantially similar corporations, and
 
·
Control premiums and discounts due to lack of marketability.

   
In addition, we also have reviewed and evaluated potential valuations based upon some or all of the following factors: the Company’s historical income, projected future earnings, and a distressed or liquidation sale of our assets.
 
The Company’s Chief Financial Officer at the time prepared two Common Stock valuation reports in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, one dated December 2005 and the other dated May 2006. The December 2005 valuation concluded that our Common Stock had a value of $0.01 per share. This value was used until the Company’s next valuation report was prepared.
 
Our last valuation report within the registration period of fiscal years 2006 and 2007 was conducted in May 2006 (also in accordance with Section 409A noted above) and concluded that our Common Stock had a value of $0.12 per share.  
 
44

 
   
In accordance with Section 409A, the following valuation methods were considered by the Company for purpose of valuation our Common Stock in both the December 2005 valuation report and the May 2006 valuation report:
       
 
Company Section 409A (IRC) Report Valuation and Stock Price
per Share

December 2005

2 Book Value
  $ 0.00     $ 0.00    
   
3 Future Earnings
  $ 0.00     $ 0.00    
   
4 Last Meaningful Stock Transaction
  $ 0.01     $ 0.01    
   
5 New Financing
  $ 0.00     $ 0.12    
   
6 Distress Sale of the Assets
  $ 0.00     $ 0.00    

   
At each valuation date, the Company had no historical income, negative book value, no expectation of future earnings, and no expectation of realizing any profit from a distress sale of the Company’s assets given its comparative significant date and unfinished product. Accordingly, none of these methods of valuing our Common Stock was an appropriate method for valuation our Common Stock. When the December 2005 valuation report was prepared, there also was no expectation of new financing. Accordingly, the “last meaningful stock transaction” was the only method remaining and the method used by the Company for valuing its Common Stock in December 2005 valuation report.
 
In the December 2005 report, the last meaningful transaction dated back to a stock buy-back by the Company at $0.01 per share in the year 2002. No Common Stock transactions occurred between the 2002 buy-back and the December 2005 valuation date.  
 
   
For purposes of the May 2006 valuation report, the last meaningful transaction was still $0.01 per share based on the 2002 Common Stock buy-back. In addition, the April 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with In-Q-Tel, Inc., which included the issuance of shares of Common Stock to In-Q-Tel and a warrant. For purposes of the warrant, the warrant exercise price was set at $0.35 per share if the Company didn’t obtain qualified financing (as defined in the agreement with In-Q-Tel) by a certain date. If the Company did receive qualified financing within the applicable period, then the warrant exercise price would be determined by the terms of the qualified financing. Taking this into account and taking into account that the Company had no foreseeable prospects for qualified financing and that the funds received by the Company from In-Q-Tel ($330,000 in total revenue) were insufficient to complete the Company’s first database product, the Company discounted the $0.35 valuation 66% to $0.12 per share. The Company made this determination within the guidelines of Section 409A.
 
The valuation methodology used by the Company under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code was comprehensive, effective, and efficient. As such, in our judgment, we concluded that it was not necessary to consider any other methodologies, alternative facts, or other assumptions to valuation other than prescribed in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and included in the two valuation reports.
 
Subsequent discussions between the Company and the Placement Agent in connection with the Private Placement which commenced in October 2006 set the value of our Common Stock at $1.00 per share in the Private Placement. We raised a total of $4,025,000 in the Private Placement at $4.00 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of 4 shares of our Common Stock, two callable warrants and two non-callable warrants.   
 
Stock Options
 
We have set forth below and discussed in Note 8 to our financial statements included in this Prospectus (see page F-13 below), a summary of the procedures used by the Company to estimate the value of our stock options during fiscal years 2006 and 2007.
 
We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model in valuing our stock options. The fair value of these options was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 5%, an expected life of five years, an expected volatility of 10% and a dividend rate of 0%. We used a value of $0.01 per share of our Common Stock in the model. This value was taken from the December 2005 valuation report above. The Company did not issue any stock options in 2007.  The stock options which were issued in 2006 all were issued prior to the preparation of the May 2006 valuation report. No adjustments were made to the $0.01 fair value of the Company’s Common Stock for purposes of the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model due to factors such as illiquidity discounts, minority discounts or any other factor.
 
Based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, management determined the value of the Company’s stock options to be insignificant.
 
45

 
  
 
Since there is no market for our stock options or the Common Stock underlying those options, no data was available to the Company for implied or historical volatility for purposes of the pricing model. As such, we chose a large range of volatility assumptions (from 3% to 75%) to test the pricing model. In each instance, the value of our stock options was negligible using this pricing model. For example, the option value using a volatility of 10% was $0.0014 per option and using a volatility of 75% the option value from the model was $0.0047 per option. Since neither value reflected even one cent, management concluded that the Company’s stock options have negligible value. As a result, management elected to use volatility of 10% in the pricing model, in order to recognize some volatility and a limited potential for gain, but to remain conservative in its assumptions. Management exercised its own judgment in the volatility assumption recognizing the minimal differences in stock option value at different volatilities, the lack of historical information available, and the lack of comparable company data. We worked with our outside management accounting firm in arriving at these assumptions and calculating the value of our stock options. We do not believe that the stock option values have a significant bearing on our financial statements.

   
As of December 31, 2007, there were a total of 102,500 stock options outstanding, all of which were issued in 2006, are fully-vested and have exercise prices of $0.01 per share.
 
Warrants
 
The Company didn’t use the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model in order to value our warrants. In all cases, the warrant exercise price (“strike price”) of our issued and outstanding warrants was equal to or greater than the then current stock value or price. Therefore, the Company always has considered its warrants to have no intrinsic value.
 
As of the date of this Prospectus, there are warrants to purchase a total of 5,832,496 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. Of that amount, 2,013,750 are callable warrants that were issued in connection with the Company’s Private Placement with strike prices of $2 per share, 2,013,750 are non-callable warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement with strike prices of $4 per share,  604,125 were issued to our Placement Agent with strike prices of $2 per share, 294,118 are callable warrants that were issued to In-Q-Tel with strike prices of $2 per share and 294,118 are non-callable warrants that were issued to In-Q-Tel with strike prices of $4 per share. Units in our Private Placement were sold for $4 and were comprised of 4 shares of Common Stock, 2 callable warrants and 2 non-callable warrants. Each share of Common Stock was valued at $1 in the Private Placement. As a result, no value was assigned to the warrants.
 
Accordingly, management determined that the intrinsic value of the Company’s warrants is insignificant. We don't believe that the warrant values have a significant bearing on our financial statements.
 
Summary
 
Until such time as there is a public market for our stock, we expect to have annual, independent appraisals performed to assist us in valuation of the Company’s equity instruments. It will soon be more than 10 years since the Company was incorporated. As such, the valuation methods allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A no longer will be available to us.
 
 
It should be noted that that the Company has no inventory, and thus runs no risk of inventory write-downs or obsolescence. In addition, we maintain no off balance sheet relationships of any type. In summary, our critical accounting policy areas are few and, we believe, comparatively immaterial at this time. We anticipate an increase in policies/estimates and the potential for greater exposure as the Company grows in size and complexity.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 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 No. 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, with an early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities - including an amendment of SFAS No. 115, which provides all entities, including not-for-profit organizations, with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge accounting. Certain specified items are eligible for the irrevocable fair value measurement option as established by SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s year beginning after January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes the principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

1 Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC.

Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise noted, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable.

1During 2007, John Bjelland, Carl Bonta and William Brady each were paid salary at the rate of $150,000 per year. Mr. Bjelland’s and Mr. Bonta’s salaries commenced in August, 2007 and Mr. Brady’s salary commenced in December 2007. Prior to that time, commencing in 2006, each of these persons was paid as an independent contractor to the Company and not employees earning a salary. See footnote 3 below.

2The Company issued the following non-callable warrants to the following Named Executive Officers in 2005 and 2006 (no warrants were issued to any Named Executive Officers in 2007):

At the time that these warrants were issued, the Company was either insolvent or near insolvent, with no reasonable expectation of funding sufficient to complete development of our product. As a result, management determined that the warrants had no intrinsic value. All of these warrants have been exercised and none are outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.

3Represents compensation paid as independent contractors to the Company. During 2006 and up until August 2007, John Bjelland was an independent contractor to the Company, and not an employee. Carl Bonta was an independent contractor, and not an employee during 2006 and up until September 2007. Bill Brady was an independent contractor, and not an employee, during 2006 and up until December 2007. The functions that John Bjelland, Carl Bonta and William Brady fulfilled as independent contractors during 2006 and during the relevant portions of 2007, were the same as those they now fulfill as salaried officers of the Company. John Bjelland was compensated as an independent contractor during this period at the rate of $2,880 per week for his services as the Chairman and CEO of the Company; Carl Bonta was compensated as an independent contractor during this period at the rate of $2,880 per week for his services as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company; and William Brady was compensated as an independent contractor during this period at the rate of $2,880 per week for his services as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the engagement of each of these individuals as independent contractors to the Company, including their rates of compensation. As is often the case with start-up companies, management believed that the compensation being paid to John Bjelland and Carl Bonta was below market for the services to be performed by them. Accordingly, their compensation was supplemented by non-callable warrants as discussed in footnote 2 above.

Employment Agreements and Termination and Change of Control Arrangements

There are no employment agreements between the Company and any of its employees, including any of the executive officers named above in the Summary Compensation Table. The Company has, however, provided the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table and listed below with offer letters which state the compensation to which each such person is entitled. The offer letters contemplate that each such individual first will work for the Company as an independent contractor and then transition over to employee status in summer 2007 (which has occurred, although Mr. Brady has returned to independent contractor status). Set forth below is a summary of the compensation payable to those persons named in the Summary Compensation Table who are executive officers of the Company:

The Company has entered into Non-competition, Nonsolicitation, Confidentiality and Inventions Agreements with its employees (including the Named Executive Officers) which protect the Company’s confidential information and grant to the Company certain rights with respect to inventions. These Agreements also restrict employees’ rights to compete with us or solicit or induce our employees to terminate their relationships with us or otherwise interfere with our relationships with customers, suppliers and others.

Except for our 401(k) Retirement Plan, as of December 31, 2007, there were no agreements between the Company and any of the Named Executive Officers that provide for the payment of retirement benefits or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement, including but not limited to tax-qualified defined benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, tax-qualified defined contribution plans and nonqualified contribution plans. In addition, there are no agreements or arrangements that provide for payments to Named Executive Officers at, following or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of such person or a change in control of the Company or otherwise.

401(k) Retirement Plan

The Company offers an employee benefit plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Employees who have attained the age of 18 are immediately eligible to participate. At our discretion, we may match contributions; however, we have not elected to do so in the past and do not have any immediate plans to do so in the near future.
 
Restricted Stock Plan

On February 27, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a restricted stock plan to provide equity incentives to the Company’s executives, including the Named Executive Officers. One Million (1,000,000) shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Restricted Stock Plan for fiscal year 2008. Thereafter, the Board of Directors will approve the number of shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance under the Restricted Stock Plan on an annual basis.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Amounts Due from Officers, Directors and Principal Shareholders.  
 
Except for advances of reimbursable expenses, we have made no other loans to executive officers, directors, shareholders or other affiliates. Any such loan must be approved by a majority of those Board members who are independent of and have no interest in the transaction.
 
Other Relationships
 
The Company has entered into a Development Agreement with In-Q-Tel, Inc. pursuant to which In-Q-Tel agreed to fund a work program to develop additional functionality in our CDBMS technology and we agreed to provide a number of deliverables to In-Q-Tel. See “In-Q-Tel Development Agreement”. We have received consideration of $330,000 from In-Q-Tel pursuant to the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement. We also have issued a total of 75,000 shares of Common Stock to In-Q-Tel and an affiliate and granted to In-Q-Tel and its affiliate warrants to purchase up to a maximum of 147,059 Units, comprised of an aggregate of 588,236 shares of Common Stock, 294,118 Callable Warrants and 294,118 Non-Callable Warrants, at an exercise price equal to $3.40 per Unit (85% of the purchase price of a Unit in the Private Placement), for a maximum investment of $500,000. The shares of our Common Stock, Callable Warrants and Non-Callable Warrants that In-Q-Tel and its affiliate would receive were it to exercise its rights under the In-Q-Tel Warrants, would be identical in all respects to those included in the Units which were sold in the Private Placement, including, without limitation, the exercise period (in the event the exercise periods vary among the Investor Warrants, the Investor Warrants issued under the In-Q-Tel Warrants will have the same exercise period as the most favorable exercise period provided to any potential investor) and exercise prices applicable to the Callable Warrants and the Non-callable Warrants.

The Company has notes payable to related parties totaling $357,338 as of December 31, 2007 (and as of the date of this Prospectus). The details are as follows:

All but one of these notes originally were issued to the Company officers (and shareholders) listed above for either money advanced by that person to the Company to cover then-current operating expenses or to evidence amounts owed to such persons for Company expenses incurred and paid by the note holders in connection with Company business. All of the notes are demand notes which are due and payable by the Company upon demand of the note holder.

All of these notes were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors after evaluating the Company’s financial situation, lack of alternative sources of funding and the overall fairness of the transactions to the Company in light of the circumstances, including, without limitation, the applicable interest rates. The terms of the notes are all identical, except for the interest rate. The Company believes that, at the time that these transactions were entered into, they were more favorable to the Company than what the Company could have obtained from independent third parties, except for with respect to the 3rd Party Note which was negotiated with an independent third party. The interest rate applicable to all of the notes other than the 3rd Party Note is 12%. The interest rate applicable to the 3rd Party Note is 15%. As discussed above in the “Related Party Transactions” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” commencing on page 35 of this Prospectus, the 3rd Party Note originally was issued to an unrelated third party as a result of arms-length negotiations. All other notes were issued to related parties with an interest rate more favorable to the Company (12%) than the interest rate the Company was able to obtain from the unrelated third party (15%). Accordingly, the Company concluded that the terms of the notes were fair and reasonable to the Company.

The principal amount of the notes payable to related parties has never exceeded the amount outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus ($357,338). The Company has not made any payments of principal or accrued interest on any of these notes.
 
Please see additional disclosure regarding these notes in the “Related Party Transactions” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, commencing on page 41 of this Prospectus.
 
Except as described in the preceding paragraphs, we have not entered into any transaction nor are there any proposed transactions in which any director, executive officer, shareholder of Infobionics, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is expected to have a direct or indirect material interest.
 
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation (the Articles”) limit the liability of our directors to the maximum extent permitted by Minnesota law. Minnesota law provides that a corporation’s articles of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for (i) any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, or (iv) any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, our bylaws (the “Bylaws”) call for us to indemnify our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. We believe that such indemnification covers negligence and gross negligence. Our Bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity (subject to certain exclusions), regardless of whether the Bylaws permit indemnification.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

Currently there is no public trading market for our common stock, and we have not applied to have our common stock listed on any stock exchange. We intend to engage a market maker, however, to make a market in the Common Stock and to apply to have the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). No trading symbol has yet been assigned to the Company.

Rules Governing Low-Price Stocks

Quotations on the OTCBB reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not reflect actual transactions. Our Common Stock may be subject to certain rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks generally are securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that the exchange or system provides current price and volume information with respect to transaction in such securities. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
 
The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

Common Shareholders of Record
 
As of November 30, 2008, we had 132 shareholders of record. However, this number does not include any shareholders whose shares may be held in trust by other entities, and the total number of beneficial shareholders of our shares could be greater than the number of shareholders of record. This number also excludes shareholders whose stock may be held in nominee or street name by brokers.
 
Dividends
 
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
 
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

In October 2006, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “Plan”) that includes Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options in order to enable us to attract and retain qualified employees, directors and consultants. The shares subject to options under the Plan are shares of our common stock, originally not to exceed 470,000 shares. The Plan provides that the option price for Incentive Stock Options would be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date such option is granted and, for Non-Statutory Stock Options the option price will be no less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date such option is granted. The Plan was amended on March 24, 2008 to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan from 470,000 shares to 1,470,000 shares. The Plan, as amended, has been approved by the shareholders of the Company.
 
The following table provides the specified information as of December 31, 2007 with respect to compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance, aggregated as follows: (i) all compensation plans previously approved by our shareholders; and (ii) all compensation plans not previously approved by our shareholders.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Our Articles authorize the issuance of 40,000,000 shares of capital stock, all of which are voting shares of common stock. As of November 30, 2008, we had issued and outstanding a total of 12,605,510 shares of common stock. Our Board of Directors may establish one or more classes or series of capital stock, without shareholder approval (including holders of the Common Stock), with such rights, preferences and privileges as our Board may determine. We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the near future. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and any shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of options and warrants will be, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
 
A total of 5,808,097 shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Security Holders in this Prospectus are offered pursuant to warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement (including the Placement Warrant) and to our initial customer. Subject to certain exceptions, the price for which the warrants are exercisable is subject to adjustment if we issue shares of Common Stock for less than the exercise price of the warrants at the time such additional shares of our Common Stock are issued.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
Our Articles eliminate a director’s personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for any monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of such director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under the Minnesota Business Corporations Act, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper benefit.
 
Our Articles also provide that the Company will indemnify to the full extent authorized by law any person, testator or intestate made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company or any predecessor of the Company or serves or served any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Company or any predecessor of the Company.
 
Furthermore, the Articles provide that neither any amendment nor repeal of the provisions providing for indemnification or elimination of personal liability under the Articles nor the adoption of any provision inconsistent with such provisions shall eliminate or reduce the effect of the right of indemnification or elimination of personal liability provided under the Articles in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim accruing or arising prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

Our Bylaws provide that the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by the Minnesota Business Corporations Act, will indemnify any director, officer or employee whom it shall have power to indemnify against any expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by the Minnesota Business Corporations Act.
 
Additionally, the Articles and the Bylaws also provide that the Company will pay expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in the Articles of Incorporation or the relevant section of the General Corporation Law of the State of Minnesota.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of Infobionics, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

We have not hired or retained any experts or counsel on a contingent basis, who would receive a direct or indirect interest in our Company, or who is, or was, a promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee, of Infobionics.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Infobionics Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Infobionics Incorporated as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Infobionics Incorporated management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Infobionics Incorporated as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Infobionics Incorporated (the Company) was formed on July 10, 2000 and was engaged in the business of researching and developing a database technology for computer information processing in the commercial marketplace throughout the United States. The Company began making sales and became operational during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Certificates of Deposit

Certificates of deposit include short-term interest bearing investments with maturities of less than one year but greater than three months when purchased. These investments are readily convertible to cash and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable

The Company uses the allowance method to account for bad debts. This method provides allowances for doubtful receivables equal to the estimated losses that will be incurred in the collection of receivables. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the normal course of business. The Company writes off uncollectible accounts after they have exhausted the collection process. Trade receivables are considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days beyond terms. No interest is charged on past due trade receivables. There was no allowance as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. The present values of capital lease obligations are classified as long-term debt and the related assets are included in equipment. Amortization of equipment under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Accelerated methods and rates are used for tax reporting purposes. Future income taxes resulting from depreciation and amortization temporary differences have been provided for.

Patents

The Company has two patents, the first was capitalized in 2006 and the second was capitalized in 2007. These patents relate to the Company’s database technology used for its computer information processing for its customers. Patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 to 20 years. Amortization expense for 2007 and 2006 totaled $956 and $797, respectively. Amortization for each of the succeeding five years is as follows: 2008 - $956; 2009 - $956; 2010 - $956; 2011 - $956 and 2012 - $956.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for 2007 and 2006 totaled $0 and $13,800, respectively.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided for by the liability method wherein deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating losses, tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, and Related Implementation Issues (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for 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, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company had no changes in the carrying value of its tax assets or liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company’s policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax expense in the statements of operations. There have been no interest or penalties recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amount for all financial instruments approximates fair value.

Net Operating Losses

The Company has incurred net operating losses (NOL) each year since its inception. The net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are $2,550,000 and $1,495,000, respectively.

The NOL are carried forward for a period of 20 years and will start expiring in 2020.

The Company has a general business credit from its research and development activities for 2007 in the amount of $44,000. The credit may be carried forward for a period of 20 years and will expire on December 31, 2027.

The deferred tax asset has been reserved on the financial statements as there is uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates

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

Research and Development

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, was $682,267 and $158,386, respectively.

Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company accounts for income (loss) per share in accordance with Statements on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised utilizing the treasury stock method. As the Company incurred losses in both 2007 and 2006, no adjustments for stock options or warrants are made because they are anti-dilutive.

Stock Based Compensation

Before 2006, the Company accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation costs were reflected in operations, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. If the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, to stock-based employee and director compensation, the value of the options would have been insignificant.

The Company follows the provisions of Statements on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) effective January 1, 2006. As permitted by SFAS 123R, the Company accounts for stock option awards using the calculated value method. The provisions of SFAS 123R are applicable to options awarded by the Company beginning in 2006. Under SFAS 123R, the Company is required to recognize the compensation expense for options granted in 2006 and thereafter.

Reclassifications

Management has revised the classification of expenses in the operating expense categories as reported in the statement of operations as of December 31, 2006. There was no effect on net loss or loss per share as a result of such expense reclassifications.

NOTE 6 - NONCASH STOCK TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the In-Q-Tel Development Agreement (See Note 9), the Company has issued 23,863 and 51,137 shares of common stock to In-Q-Tel and its affiliate during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

402,750 shares of common stock were issued in 2007 in accordance with the terms of compensation for the private placement agent.

Included in contracted sales agent compensation, 6,600 shares of common stock valued at $1 per share were issued upon completion of the terms in 2007.

Shareholders converted $45,511 of accrued interest into common stock in 2006.

NOTE 7 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM

At October 10, 2006, the Company offered for sale, to accredited investors only, up to 1,125,000 units of its securities at $4 per unit. Each unit consists of four shares of common stock, two callable common stock warrants and two non-callable common stock warrants. The callable warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock and are exercisable for a period of 42 months at $2 per share. The non-callable warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock and are exercisable for 42 months at $4 per share. The callable warrants are callable by the Company at any time after September 1, 2008 if certain conditions are satisfied including, without limitation, if the value of a share of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $2 per share. During 2007, 515,000 units were sold. As of December 31, 2006, 491,875 units were sold. Selling fees for the units were 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds up to $450,000 and 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds as non-accountable expenses up to $135,000.

Six months after the Company raised a minimum of $4,000,000 in this offering, it prepared and filed a Resale Registration Statement covering the securities underlying the units sold in the offering with the SEC. In addition, the Company was obligated to ensure that the Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective within six months after the date it was filed with the SEC (subsequently extended to September 15, 2008). Additionally, the six month term could have been extended by the placement agent in monthly increments if the Company is progressing toward the objectives in good faith. The offering was to terminate 120 days after the date of the memorandum but was extended by offering an additional 515,000 units after December 31, 2006. The Company extended its offering through December 21, 2007.

The shares of common stock underlying the units and the issuable warrant shares upon exercise of the warrants had mandatory registration rights since the minimum of $4,000,000 in units were sold by the Company.

At any time after the Company’s shares of common stock have commenced trading in the public market (over-the-counter or otherwise), the Company shall not raise any capital (debt or equity) for up to one hundred eighty (180) days after such trading begins, without first granting to all purchasers of units in the offering (including the purchaser) a right of first refusal, to purchase additional securities of the Company on the same terms and subject to the same conditions contained in any term sheet received by the Company in connection with the sale by the Company of its securities.

 
F-12

 

NOTE 8 - STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company has a stock option plan that includes Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options effective April 2001 to enable the Company and its stockholders to attract and retain persons of ability as employees, directors and consultants. A committee shall select the recipient individuals from Eligible Persons. The committee may either be the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board consisting of two or more directors that are appointed from time to time by the Board. Eligible Persons include individuals who are salaried employees including, without limitation, officers and directors who are also employees of the Company, non-employee directors, or consultants to the Company.

The shares subject to options under the plan are shares of the Company’s authorized common stock, without par value, not to exceed 470,000 shares. The option price should be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of granting of such options for the Incentive Stock Options and 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of granting of such options for the Non-Statutory Stock Options. The Company has the authority whether to determine an option will be exercisable in full at any time, from time to time during the term of the option, or in installments not to exceed 10 years. All outstanding options are exercisable and expire May 2011.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The fair value of these options was calculated using a risk-free interest rate of 5%, an expected life of five years, an expected volatility of 10% and a dividend rate of 0%. The Company used a stock price of $0.01 per share in the model based upon a valuation report prepared in December 2005 by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer at the time, as allowed under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. There is no active external or internal market for the Company's common stock. Thus, it was not possible to estimate the expected volatility of the Company's stock price in estimating fair value of options granted. Accordingly, as a substitute for such volatility, the Company chose a range of volatility assumptions (from 3% to 75%) to test the pricing model. In each instance, the value of the Company’s stock options was negligible using this pricing model. The option value using a volatility of 10% was $0.0014 per option and using a volatility of 75%, the option value from the model was $0.0047 per option. Since the option value under the pricing model was less than $0.005 using volatilities anywhere between 3% and 75%, the Company concluded that its options have negligible value. As a result, the Company elected to use volatility of 10% in order to recognize some volatility and a limited potential for gain, but to remain conservative in its assumptions. Management exercised its own judgment in the volatility assumption recognizing the minimal differences in option value at different volatilities, the lack of historical information available, and the lack of comparable company data. Based on these calculations, the Company determined that the value of its options was insignificant. The Company does not believe the value of its stock options has a significant bearing on the financial statements.
 
All options are exercisable, and the weighted average time to expiration was 3.35 and 4.35 years at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The stock option activity is summarized in the following table:

NOTE 9 - STOCK WARRANTS

The Company has granted warrants (In-Q-Tel Warrants) to In-Q-Tel and an affiliate that were part of the contractual terms of the April 19, 2006 agreement with In-Q-Tel. The In-Q-Tel Warrants have exercise prices of 85% of the private placement shareholder price of $4 per unit  with a limit of an overall investment of $500,000 and are exercisable for 147,059 units issued in the private placement. This equates to warrants for 588,236 shares of Common Stock and 588,236 callable and non-callable warrants, at $3.40 per unit.  The callable and non-callable warrants contain the same terms as those issued in the private placement, including the expiration date (April 2011) and cashless exercise or conversion rights. The callable warrants are for 294,118 shares at $2 per share and the non-callable warrants are for 294,118 shares at $4 per share. These In-Q-Tel Warrants will expire April 2011.

In May 2006, the Company approved warrants to purchase up to 66,781 shares of common stock for the Founders, if and when such Founders loaned additional funds to the Company. Each warrant equals the right to purchase three shares of common stock for each dollar loaned to the Company, with an exercise price of $.12 per share of Common Stock.

The Company issued to the private placement agent a warrant (the Placement Warrant) to purchase an amount of shares of common stock equal to 15% of the aggregate number of shares underlying the units sold in the private placement memorandum (see Note 7). The warrants issued were for 309,000 and 295,125 shares in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Placement Warrant will be exercisable by the placement agent on a cashless basis at $2 per share for a period of five years from the termination of the offering.

All warrants are exercisable, and the weighted average time to expiration is 2.83 and 3.85 years at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 10 - LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company entered into a lease for its principal office on January 29, 2007. The lease term ends January 2010. The lease may be terminated after 24 monthly rent payments have been made with a buyout of $9,885. Building rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $28,061 and $0, respectively.

The following is a schedule by year of future minimum lease payments required under the leases:

The lease rent was calculated on an escalating, incremental scale. An accrued expense is recognized when the payment amount is lower than the average monthly rental amount. The monthly rent was computed at an average rate over the life of the lease. The average rent rate is $2,490 per month. The accrued rent expense was $12,849 and $0 at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution retirement 401(k) plan in effect for its employees who meet certain age and service requirements. Employees may elect to contribute up to the IRS maximum allowable limit. The Company contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Board of Directors. There were no Company contributions in 2007 or 2006.

NOTE 13 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 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 No. 157 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, with an early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities - including an amendment of SFAS No. 115, which provides all entities, including not-for-profit organizations, with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge accounting. Certain specified items are eligible for the irrevocable fair value measurement option as established by SFAS No. 159. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s year beginning after January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes the principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe this statement will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.
 
NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 27, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a Restricted Stock Agreement as an executive equity incentive plan. The Board also approved a Warrant Compensation Plan for the Board members. There are a total of one million shares reserved for these plans.

Effective March 24, 2008 the Company made the following resolutions and changes at its stockholders’ meeting:

 
1.
The Company increased the shares authorized under the stock option plan to 1,470,000.
  
2.
The Company increased the number of authorized shares to 40,000,000.

In 2008 the Company began incurring costs on a third patent. No date of approval or capitalization has been determined.

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
Our Articles of Incorporation eliminate a director’s personal liability to the Company or its shareholders for any monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of such director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under applicable sections of Minnesota Business Corporations Act, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper benefit.

Our Articles of Incorporation also provide that the Company shall indemnify to the full extent authorized by law any person, testator or intestate made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company or any predecessor of the Company or serves or served any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Company or any predecessor of the Company.
 
Furthermore, the Articles of Incorporation provide that neither any amendment nor repeal of the provisions providing for indemnification or elimination of personal liability under the Articles of Incorporation nor the adoption of any provision inconsistent with such provisions shall eliminate or reduce the effect of the right of indemnification or elimination of personal liability provided under the Articles of Incorporation in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim accruing or arising prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
 
Our Bylaws provide that the Company, to the maximum extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Minnesota, including, without limitation, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Minnesota (as that Section may be amended and supplemented from time to time), indemnify any director, officer or trustee which it shall have power to indemnify against any expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by that Section. The Bylaws further provide that such indemnification (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement or vote of Shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, (ii) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and (iii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Pursuant to the Bylaws the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification under the Bylaws shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Company or any other person.
 
Additionally, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws, respectively, also provide that the Company shall pay expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in the Articles of Incorporation or the relevant section of the General Corporation Law of the State of Minnesota, respectively.

All of the above offerings and sales were deemed to be exempt under Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering any of the securities.  All certificates evidencing the securities issued in such transactions bear restrictive legends as securities issued in non-registered transactions that may only be resold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The applicable subscription documents relating to such transactions contained acknowledgments by the purchaser of such securities that the securities being acquired had not been registered, were restricted securities, could only be resold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the certificates evidencing such securities would bear restrictive legends.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
1. To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in 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 with respect to the plan of distribution.
           
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be an initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
3. To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
 
4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i) Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii) Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
 
(iii) The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
 
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant in the purchaser.
 
5. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
6. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(i) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of Prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
II-4

 
(ii) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of Prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
7. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
 
(i) If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
 
(A) Each Prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed Prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
(B) Each Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of Prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the Prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that Prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
 
(ii) If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
