This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements that have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs, and assumptions made by management.  Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," 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 and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements.

PART I

Item 1.  Business

Waytronx, Inc. (sometimes hereafter referred to as “Waytronx” or “the Company”) is a Colorado corporation organized on April 21, 1998.  The Company’s principal place of business is located at Waytronx, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062.

In May 2008, Waytronx formed a wholly owned subsidiary that acquired the assets of CUI, Inc., a provider of electromechanical components and industrial controls for OEM manufacturing.  Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions, and superior personal service.  CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry.

Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company obtained 352,589 common shares representing a 10.47% interest in Test Products International, Inc., a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment.

The Company is primarily focused on the commercialization of its innovative thermal cooling technology, WayCoolTM, as well as the continued expansion of the CUI product offering and market reach.

WayCool Thermal Management Technology
Utilizing its patented hybrid mesh architecture, Waytronx can enhance system performance and remove thermal barriers caused by "microwarming" in today's advanced computing devices.  The Waytronx architecture incorporates a variety of patented and patent pending designs of a new scientific approach to addressing intense heat generated in electronic systems, including central and graphics processors, solar energy devices and power supplies.  The technology uses a capillary network of microchannels to transport fluid at a rapid rate to move heat away from the source instead of traditional passive heat transference through solid materials; thus, WayCool’s efficiency is not limited to the thermal conductivity of the material.  This fluid transport ensures active removal of hot fluid from the area in contact with the heat source and replacement with colder fluid.  The result is a more even temperature across the entire body of the cooling device (isothermicity). As micro electronics components run at higher speeds with more computing capacity, the primary gating factor is thermal management; WayCool technology offers a highly scalable and cost effective alternative. 

WayCoolTM Applications
 
WayCool can be universally adapted to any device with cooling requirements.

 
5

 

Applications Waytronx has currently identified for WayCool include:
 
·
Graphics Processing Units ("GPU")
 
·
Central Processing Units ("CPU")
 
·
Power Supply Units ("PSU")
 
·
Solar Energy
 
·
Medical Monitors
 
·
Test Appliances
 
·
Home Electronics Displays

Waytronx, Inc. Business Strategy
The implemented Company business strategy includes an expanding basis of innovative ideas and products based on its thermal cooling technology, WayCool™.

Licensing
The Company has begun to implement a broad intellectual property licensing program for select products to commercialize WayCoolTM.  Through this program, the WayCool thermal management cooling technology is intended to be exploited through the development of worldwide license and royalty agreements.  This strategy has been adopted for several reasons:
 
·
It is considerably less capital intensive than developing manufacturing and marketing capabilities.
 
·
It provides revenue streams immediately through advance licensing fees.
 
·
It provides an opportunity to fund further research and to build/develop the intellectual property portfolio of the Company.
 
·
It can provide continuous long-term revenue streams.
 
·
It provides a more rapid adaptation and proliferation of the WayCool thermal management cooling technology.
 
·
It expedites finding potential corporate “partners”.
 
·
It provides the opportunity for greater margins.

These benefits are intended to be used as the primary method for promoting rapid adoption of WayCoolTM (Please see above the section “WayCool Thermal Management Technology”) through licensing agreements with various suppliers in the microprocessor-based electronics markets.  These include potential licensing relationships with chip original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original development manufacturers (ODMs), as well as potential relationships with companies serving the after-market retail market segment.  It is intended that a worldwide licensing strategy for WayCool will open significant business opportunities for this technology in a number of vertical market applications.  More technical details of WayCool are discussed above in the section entitled WayCool Thermal Management Technology.

Direct Distribution
The May 2008 union of CUI with Waytronx makes readily available to Waytronx the existing CUI electromechanical components and industrial controls manufacturing, distribution and marketing network.  This synergy opens to WayCool the worldwide CUI personal relationships, and customer base.

Intellectual Property Ownership of Waytronx Technology
The following describes the evolution of the license and ownership of the Waytronx technology patents:
·
On or about July 23, 2001, the Company entered into a Contract and License Agreement (hereafter the “License Agreement”) with the inventor of the Company’s technology that underlies the WayCool technology which agreement guaranteed the inventor a minimum royalty of $50,000 the first year, $100,000 the second year and $250,000 each year thereafter.

·
On January 10, 2005 and February 16, 2005, the inventor/owner of the technology patent conveyed ownership of the WayCool and WayFast patents to CH Capital, a related party of the Company, for value received.  CH Capital is a California general partnership controlled by Bradley J. Hallock, currently a shareholder, Corporate Secretary and William Clough, currently a shareholder, President/CEO and director.
 
·
On February 16, 2005, in consideration for the payment of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), CH Capital conveyed the technology patent rights to the Company.
 
·
On March 24, 2006, CH Capital assigned to the Company all right, title and interest to the WayCool patent in consideration for eight hundred thousand dollars ($800,000) and a three year warrant to purchase 7,040,485 common shares at a per share price of $0.20.  The $800,000 amount represents reimbursement for the time and money CH Capital spent acquiring and developing the WayCool technology.  This assignment has been recorded and is a matter of record with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  The Company now owns all right, title and interest of the WayCool patent.
 
·
On May 2, 2008, CH Capital assigned to the Company all right, title and interest in the WayFast patent.  WayFast is a next generation developmental application of WayCool.

Fusion Three, LLC Settlement
During May 2006 Fusion Three, LLC relinquished all rights and claims to any revenues and fees of the Company in consideration for a three year warrant authorizing Fusion Three, LLC to purchase up to five million six hundred thousand (5,600,000) shares of our common stock at a per share price of $0.20 plus a warrant to purchase up to one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of our common stock at a per share price of $0.35 for 300,000 shares; $0.50 for 300,000 shares; $0.75 for 300,000 shares and $1.00 for 300,000 shares before November 15, 2007.  In compliance with the settlement agreement, the common shares underlying these warrants were included in a registration statement that was effective October 26, 2007.

Waytronx Intellectual Property Protection
The Company relies on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary rights in products and services.  These include confidentiality, invention assignment and nondisclosure agreements with its employees, contractors, suppliers and strategic partners.  The confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, contractors and suppliers are in perpetuity or for a sufficient length of time so as to not threaten exposure of proprietary information.  The Company retained Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear, LLP, Banner & Witcoff, Ltd. and Law Offices of William W. Haefliger to manage its current interests relative to the prosecution of the national and international patents.  The Company intends to pursue the registration of our trademarks and service marks in the United States and internationally.

August 5, 2008 a utility patent was issued relating to the RediAlert aerodynamic light display panel.

During 2005 through 2008 under the Trademark Act of 1946, as amended, the United States Patent and Trademark Office permitted our registration of the following trademarks: RediAlert, Rapid Dispatch Emergency Signs, RediAd, Living Window and OnScreen Technology.  We are required to disclaim the unitary expression because the individual component words of a complete descriptive phrase are not registerable.  This disclaimer does not impair the “OnScreen” trademark or the “OnScreen technology” words when used in conjunction with the trademark.

During 2006 and 2007 we filed applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to register the following trademarks: WayCool, WayCoolant, WayFast and Waytronx.

The Company continuously reviews and updates the existing patent and trademark filings and files new documentation both nationally and internationally (Patent Cooperation Treaty) in a continuing effort to maintain up to date patent and trademark protection of its intellectual property.

For those applications pending, there is no assurance that the patents and trademark registrations will be granted.  Furthermore, the Company is exposed to the risk that other parties may claim the Company infringes their existing patent and trademark rights, which could result in the Company’s inability to develop and market its products unless the Company enters into licensing agreements with the technology owner or could force the Company to engage in costly and potentially protracted litigation.

Employees
As of December 31, 2008, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, had forty-seven full-time and five part-time employees.  None of its employees is represented by a labor union.  The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.  The Company plans to add additional staff as needed to handle all phases of its business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company’s limited operating history makes evaluating its business and prospects difficult.
The Company has recently begun to direct its efforts to commercialization of the WayCool thermal management cooling technology.  The Company’s limited operating history in this industry and the unique nature of the WayCool technology makes evaluation of its future prospects very difficult.  To date commercialization of the WayCool technology has not achieved profitability and the Company cannot be certain that it will sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.  One should carefully consider the Company’s prospects in light of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies in new and rapidly evolving technology.

In May 2008, the Company acquired the assets of CUI, Inc., an Oregon based provider of electronic components for Original Equipment Manufacturers.  It is the intention of management that the marketing, sales and distribution organization of CUI will be beneficial to the future of the WayCool technology.  Notwithstanding that CUI has in recent years generated positive cash flow, there is no assurance that the synergy between the Company and CUI will result in a financial advantage for future operations.  Because of the newness of this business combination future profitability is an uncertainty.

The Company has all the risks of a new product developer in the technology business.
The Company, as the owner of the WayCool thermal management cooling technology patents, assumed the responsibility for completing the development of the WayCool thermal management cooling technology and determining which products to commercialize utilizing the WayCool technology.  Because this is a new technology, there is a risk that the technology, operation and development of products could be unsuccessful or that the Company will not be successful in marketing any products developed with the WayCool technology.  Such failures would negatively affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

There is no assurance the Company will achieve profitability.
To date the Company has not received significant revenue from the WayCool thermal management cooling technology.  The Company has focused its scope of operation to the commercialization of the innovative thermal cooling technology, WayCool.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $1,830,367.  The Company will need to generate significant revenues from the WayCool product line and CUI product offering to offset current operational and development losses if the Company is to cover its current overhead expenses, including further development costs and marketing expenses.  There is no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability.

During 2007 and 2008, the Company funded its operations with net proceeds of approximately $8.9 million it received from financing activities.  The Company believes that additional equity financing or debt will be necessary to fund its operations until revenue streams are sufficient to fund operations; however, the terms and timing of such additional equity or debt cannot be predicted.  The Company cannot assure that its revenues will be sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses of the Company.  If revenues are not sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses, the Company will require additional funding.

 
9

 

The Company will be dependent on third parties and certain relationships to fulfill its obligations.
Because it is the intention of the Company to license the manufacturing and distribution of the WayCool technology to unrelated companies that are better equipped financially and technologically to design and manufacture WayCool technology end products, the Company will be heavily dependent on these third parties to adequately and promptly provide the end product.  The Company will be dependent upon its ability to maintain the agreements with these designers and manufacturers and other providers of raw materials and components who provide the necessary elements to fulfill the Company’s product delivery obligations at the negotiated prices.

The market for electronics is extremely competitive.
Because the electronics industry is highly competitive, the Company cannot assure that it will be able to compete effectively.  The Company is aware of several other companies that offer similar products, utilizing different technology than its WayCoolTM technology.  Many of these competitors have been in the electronics business longer than the Company and have significantly greater assets and financial resources than are currently available to the Company.  The Company expects competition to intensify as innovation in the electronics industry advances and as current competitors expand their market into the thermal management sector.  The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors.  Competitive pressures could force the Company to reduce its prices and may make it more difficult for the Company to attract and retain customers.

The Company depends on key personnel and will need to recruit new personnel as its business grows.
As a small company, Waytronx, Inc. is currently dependent on the efforts of a limited number of management personnel.  The Company believes that given the large amount of responsibility being placed on each member of its management team, the loss of the services of any member of this team at the present time would harm its business.

If the Company is successful in expanding its product and customer base, the Company will need to add additional key personnel as its business continues to grow.  If the Company cannot attract and retain enough qualified and skilled staff, the growth of its business may be limited.  The Company’s ability to provide services to customers and expand its business depends, in part, on its ability to attract and retain staff with professional experiences that are relevant to technology development and other functions the Company performs.  Competition for personnel with these skills is intense.  The Company may not be able to recruit or retain the caliber of staff required to carry out essential functions at the pace necessary to sustain or expand its business.

The Company believes its future success will depend in part on the following:
 
·
the continued employment and performance of its senior management,
 
·
its ability to retain and motivate their officers and key employees, and
 
·
its ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain, and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing, sales and customer service personnel.

If the Company fails to adequately protect its patents, trademarks and proprietary rights, its business could be harmed.
The Company regards its patents, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to its success.  The Company relies on trademark and patent law, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with their employees, customers, partners and others to protect its proprietary rights.  Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use the Company’s intellectual property without its authorization.  There is no assurance its pending trademark applications for WayCool, WayCoolant, Waytronx, and WayFast will be approved.  Effective trademark, patent and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which the Company may in the future offer its products.  Therefore, the Company may be unable to prevent third parties from infringement on or otherwise decreasing the value of its trademarks, patents and other proprietary rights.

 
10

 

If the Company is to remain competitive, the Company must be able to keep pace with rapid technological change.
Because the Company competes in the highly volatile electronics industry, the Company’s future success depends, in part, on its ability to develop or license leading technologies useful in its business, enhance the ease of use of existing products, develop new products and technologies that address the varied needs of customers, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.  If the Company is unable, for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, to incorporate new technology in new features or products, the Company may not be able to adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer requirements.

The Company may infringe intellectual property rights of third parties.
Litigation regarding intellectual property rights is common in the technology industry.  The Company may, in the future, be the subject of claims for infringement, invalidity or indemnification claims based on such claims of other parties' proprietary rights.  These claims, whether with or without merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert the Company’s attention and resources, or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.  There is a risk that such licenses would not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.  Although the Company believes it has full rights to use its current intellectual property without incurring liability to third parties, there is a risk that its products infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties.

Third parties may infringe on the Company’s intellectual property rights
There can be no assurance that other parties will not infringe on our intellectual property rights with respect to its current or future technologies.  The Company expects that participants in its markets will be increasingly subject to infringement claims as the number of services and competitors in its industry segment grows.  Any such claim, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, create service upgrade delays or require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements.  Such royalty or licensing agreements might not be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.  As a result, any such claim of infringement by the Company could have a material adverse effect upon its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The Company’s Common Stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for individual stockholders.
The market price for the Company’s Common Stock is volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors, including the following, some of which are beyond its control, which means its market price could be depressed and could impair its ability to raise capital:
 
·
actual or anticipated variations in its quarterly operating results;
 
·
announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by the Company or its competitors;
 
·
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
 
·
conditions or trends relating to the thermal management cooling technology;
 
·
changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other electromechanical and thermal management related companies;

 
11

 

 
·
conditions or trends relating to the marketing, sale or distribution of electromechanical components and industrial controls to OEM manufacturing customers;
 
·
changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other electromechanical components and industrial controls related companies;
 
·
additions or departures of key personnel;
 
·
fluctuations of the stock market as a whole.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation limits director liability, thereby making it difficult to bring any action against them for breach of fiduciary duty.
The Company is a Colorado corporation.  As permitted by Colorado law, the Company's Articles of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty, with certain exceptions.  These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by shareholders on behalf of the Company against a director.

The Company may be unable to meet its future capital requirements.
The Company is dependent on receipt of additional capital to effectively execute its business plan.  If adequate funds are not available to the Company on favorable terms, the Company will not be able to develop new products or enhance existing products in response to competitive pressures, which could affect its ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to it on favorable terms when required, or at all.  If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of its common stock and its stockholders may experience additional dilution.

Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  As a result, the Company’s Common Stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse).  For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.  Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Commission relating to the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market.  Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities.

For the foreseeable future, the Company’s securities will likely have a trading price of less than $5.00 per share and will not be traded on any exchanges; therefore, we will be subject to Penny Stock Rules.  As a result of the aforesaid rules regulating penny stocks, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 
12

 

The Company has never paid dividends on its Common Stock and does not expect to pay any in the foreseeable future.  Preferred Shares impose restrictions on our ability to pay Common Stock dividends.
A potential purchaser should not expect to receive a return on their investment in the form of dividends on our Common Stock.  The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and the Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.  Our ability to pay dividends on our Common Stock is restricted by the terms of our agreements with the holders of our Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  Holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to annual dividends of 10%.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company has 50,543 Series A Convertible Preferred shares outstanding and no Series B Convertible Preferred shares outstanding.  In the past, the Company has fulfilled its dividend obligations on the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock through a combination of the issuance of additional shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred and/or Common Stock and cash payments.

On December 31, 2007 dividends payable for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was $5,054 and on December 31, 2008 the dividends payable for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was $5,054.  Holders of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to annual dividends of $1.00 per share.  As of this filing, all Series B Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted to common shares.

Substantial sales of our Common Stock could cause our stock price to rapidly decline.
The market price of our Common Stock may fall rapidly and significantly due to sales of our Common Stock from other sources such as:
 
·
Common Stock underlying the conversion rights of our Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
·
Common Stock underlying the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.
 
·
Common Stock, which are available for resale under Rule 144 or are otherwise freely tradable and which are not subject to lock-up restrictions.
 
·
Common Stock available on the secondary market.

Pledging stock to hedge funds or other corporate lenders as security to borrow money could result in short selling, encumbrance, stock pledge, transfer or sale to procure a hedge against adverse market conditions.

Any sale of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, whether as a result of the sale of Common Stock received by shareholders upon conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, exercise of outstanding warrants or options or otherwise, could lower the market price of our Common Stock.  Furthermore, substantial sales of our Common Stock in a relatively short period of time could have the effect of depressing the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

The covenants with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shareholders restrict our ability to incur debt outside the normal course, acquire other businesses, pay dividends on our Common Stock, sell assets or issue our securities without the consent of holders of a majority of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.  Such arrangements may adversely affect our future operations or may require us to make additional concessions to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in order to enter into transactions or take actions management deems beneficial and in the best interests of the holders of our Common Stock.

Note conversions could result in dilution of common stock
The conversion of outstanding promissory notes may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of common stock, since the investors may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion under the notes.  To the extent the selling stockholders convert their notes and then sell their common stock into the market, the common stock price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market.  As of December 31, 2008, $1,350,000 principal of outstanding promissory notes and 12% per annum simple interest accruing thereon are convertible to equity.  $1,000,000 of these convertible promissory notes plus the interest accruing thereon are convertible at a floating per share price based at 80% of the average closing bid price 10 days preceding conversion date.  There is, however, a $0.20 per share minimum conversion price, which means that there is a maximum number of 5,000,000 shares related to the principal conversion plus an additional amount related to interest accrued at the time of conversion that the company may be obligated to issue related to the conversion of the $1,000,000 of convertible promissory notes.  The remaining $350,000 of outstanding convertible promissory notes plus the interest accrued thereon are convertible at $0.25 per share, which means that there is a maximum number of 1,400,000 shares related to the principal conversion plus an additional amount related to the interest accrued at the time of conversion that the Company may be obligated to issue related to the conversion of the $350,000 of convertible promissory notes.  Additionally, as a portion of the CUI, Inc. asset purchase consideration, the Company has outstanding a $17,500,000 convertible promissory note that accrues annual simple interest at a rate of 1.7% which could convert to Company common stock at a per share conversion of $0.25.  The convertible $17,500,000 promissory note is convertible to the equivalent of 70,000,000 shares plus an additional amount related to the interest accrued at the time of conversion that the Company may be obligated to issue.

Downward pressure on the stock price could encourage short selling
The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling stockholders convert and sell material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholders or others.  This could place significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock.

In finance, short selling or “shorting” is a way to profit from the decline in price of a security, such as stock or bond.  A short sale is generally a sale of a stock you do not own.  Investors who sell short believe the price of the stock will fall.  If the price drops, you can buy the stock at the lower price and make a profit.  If the price of the stock rises and you buy it back later at the higher price, you will incur a loss.

When you sell short, your brokerage firm loans you the stock.  The stock you borrow comes from either the firm’s own inventory, the margin account of another of the firm’s clients or another brokerage firm.  As with buying stock on margin, you are subject to the margin rules.  Other fees and charges may apply.  If the stock you borrow pays a dividend, you must pay the dividend to the person or firm making the loan.

Description of Securities
The Company currently has authorized 325,000,000 common shares $0.001 par value and 10,000,000 preferred shares $0.001 par value.  Of the 10,000,000 authorized preferred shares, 5,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred, 30,000 shares have been designated as Series B Convertible Preferred and 10,000 shares have been designated as Series C Convertible Preferred.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s outstanding shares consisted of 166,208,406 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, 50,543 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and no shares of Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company had in excess of 3,000 shareholders of record.

The description of the Company’s capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified by its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, amendments thereto, including the Certificates of Designation for its Series A, Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and by the provisions of applicable Colorado law.  The Company’s transfer agent is Computershare Trust Company, Inc., 350 Indiana Street, Suite 800, Golden, Colorado 80401.

The holders of Common Stock and Series A and Series C Convertible Preferred are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Series B Convertible Preferred shares are entitled to one thousand votes per share for all purposes and do not have cumulative voting rights.  There is a restriction on the payment of any common stock dividends because any cumulative preferred stock dividends are required to be paid prior to the payment of any common stock dividends.  Also, the retained earnings of the Company would be restricted upon an involuntary liquidation by the cumulative unpaid preferred dividends to the preferred stockholders and for the $1.00 per share Series A and $240 per share Series B liquidation preferences.  Holders of the Company’s Common Stock do not have any pre-emptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of capital stock, no conversion rights, redemption, or sinking-fund provisions.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock since inception and expects to continue to retain all earnings generated by its operations for the development and growth of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends to its common shareholders in the foreseeable future.  The payment of future dividends on the common stock and the rate of such dividends, if any, will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in light of its earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

Set forth below is a summary of the current outstanding securities, transactions and agreements, which relate to 31,366,359 shares of common stock the Company is required to reserve for potential future issuances.  As of December 31, 2008, there are 380,704 shares of the Company’s common stock available under the 2008 Equity Incentive Stock Plan.

Convertible Preferred Shares
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had 50,543 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding and no shares of Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.  The Series A preferred shares convert to common shares at a ratio of four common shares plus one common bonus share for each share of Series A Preferred.  As of December 31, 2008, there is $5,054 in accrued Series A Preferred dividends that convert into 25,271 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $0.20 for certain shareholders who elected to convert accrued dividends to common shares.

April 24, 2007, pursuant to Section 7-106-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act, the Board of Directors designated ten thousand (10,000) shares of the authorized ten million shares of Preferred Stock as Series C Preferred Stock.  These shares became effective on May 15, 2007 upon filing appropriate documentation with the Colorado Department of State.  The Series C Preferred Stock was created to fulfill the terms of a funding agreement with Central Finance, LLC.  On May 9, 2007, Central Finance, LLC agreed to loan to the Company one million dollars ($1,000,000) in five monthly loans of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) each.  Twelve percent (12%) per annum simple interest is payable monthly and the principal payment to be determined at the time of each monthly loan.  This loan was conditioned on a sale to Central Finance, LLC, by two of our former directors, of five hundred thousand (500,000) restricted common shares for a per share price of $0.15.  As a further condition, ten thousand (10,000) restricted common stock owned by Central Finance, LLC may be exchanged, on a one for one ratio, for the newly created 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred stock.  These preferred shares may, at any time, at the election of Central Finance, LLC, be re-exchanged back to common stock at the same, one for one, ratio.  The Series C Preferred stock has the exclusive right to elect three (3) directors to three (3) newly created board seats.  Clifford Melby, a former corporate officer of Waytronx, is a member of the LLC.

Promissory Notes
During 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, the Company privately placed $10,300,000 of 12% convertible promissory notes.  These notes are convertible to common stock at $.25 per share with piggyback registration rights for the Company’s common shares underlying the conversion feature of the notes.  Note holders who purchased $500,000 or more of these notes received 100,000 additional common shares.  The note holders include one current director, three former directors and a former Chief Financial Officer.  All of the notes were converted into 41,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock during the second quarter of 2006.  In addition, the Company issued to such note holders warrants to acquire 10,300,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share within three (3) years.  All of the shares of the common stock issued upon the conversion of the notes and the shares of common stock underlying the common stock purchase warrants were included in the Form SB-2 registration statement that became effective October 26, 2007.  Warrants representing 125,000 common shares have not yet been exercised as of December 31, 2008.

During the last three quarters of 2006 through 2008, the Company privately placed approximately $3,450,000 of 12% promissory notes.  $1,650,000 ($650,000 of this amount has been repaid) of these notes are convertible to common stock at a per share price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average closing bid price of one share of Company common stock for 10 days preceding the Conversion Date.  There is, however, a $0.20 per share minimum limit on the conversion price, which means that there is a limit on the number of shares that the company may be obligated to issue.  Additionally, each investor was issued a warrant to purchase at any time within three (3) years following the date of investment, at a per share price of one cent ($0.01), that number of shares of Waytronx, Inc. common stock as is equal in value to one tenth the principal investment.  Such value to be determined by the average per share closing bid price of Waytronx, Inc. common stock for the 10 days preceding the date of investment.  Of the remaining $1,800,000 notes, $700,000 ($350,000 of this amount has been repaid) of these notes are convertible to common stock at a per share price of $0.25 and $1,100,000 ($100,000 of this amount has been repaid) are not convertible.  As of December 31, 2008, 13,368,992 common shares were issued pursuant to the conversion of these promissory notes and exercise of the warrants; 6,400,000 common shares are held in reserve as issuable upon the conversion of the balance of the promissory notes and the shares of common stock underlying the common stock purchase warrants and common share underlying the warrants.

Important Note about Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and un-audited 10-Q filings for the first three quarters of 2008 and the notes thereto, all of which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.  In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Form 10-K contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to factors discussed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

The statements that are not historical constitute "forward-looking statements".  Said forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, express or implied by such forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of such terms and phrases as "expects", "intends", "goals", "estimates", "projects", "plans", "anticipates", "should", "future", "believes", and "scheduled".

The variables which may cause differences include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic and business conditions; competition; success of operating initiatives; operating costs; advertising and promotional efforts; the existence or absence of adverse publicity; changes in business strategy or development plans; the ability to retain management; availability, terms and deployment of capital; business abilities and judgment of personnel; availability of qualified personnel; labor and employment benefit costs; availability and costs of raw materials and supplies; and changes in, or failure to comply with various government regulations.  Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate; therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K will prove to be accurate.

In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any person that the objectives and expectations of the Company will be achieved.

Losses from Operations; Accumulated Deficit; Negative Net worth and Going Concern.
Historically, the Company has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to self-fund its capital and operating requirements.  These factors raise substantial doubt concerning its ability to continue as a going concern.  However, following the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the company is generating significant revenues that it expects will provide the Company with the ability to self-fund its capital and operating requirements.  If that is not possible, the Company will seek additional working capital from funding that will primarily include equity and debt placements.

Overview
Waytronx, Inc. has pioneered and is working to commercialize innovative thermal management solutions capable of revolutionizing the semiconductor, solar and electronic packaging industries, among others.  This advanced technology involves the use of fluid displacement to move heat away from the source instead of traditional passive heat transference through solid materials.  Utilizing its patented WayCool hybrid mesh architecture, Waytronx can enhance system performance and remove thermal barriers caused by "microwarming" in today's advanced computing devices.  The Company's proprietary cooling solutions for central and graphics processors, solar energy devices and power supplies provide more cost effective and efficient thermal management to the electronics industry.

In May 2008, Waytronx formed a wholly owned subsidiary that acquired the assets of CUI, Inc., a provider of electromechanical components and industrial controls for original equipment manufacturing (OEM).  Since its inception in 1989, CUI has been delivering quality products, extensive application solutions, and superior personal service.  CUI's solid customer commitment and honest corporate message are a hallmark in the industry.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company continued to incur significant losses from operations.  The Company incurred a net loss of $1,830,367 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  This net loss includes non-cash charges of $740,785 for compensation and services expense including amortization of deferred compensation related to equity given or to be given to employees and consultants for services provided, $2,153,577 of non-cash amortization of the intrinsic value of convertible debt, amortization of debt offering costs and the warrant related debt discount, $247,617 of non-cash loss for the impairment of patents, and $1,620 non-cash loss on securities available for sale.

Management has continued to raise the capital needed to fund the development and marketing of the Company’s products during 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have a significant impact on the results the Company will report in the Company's financial statements.  Some of the Company's accounting policies require the Company to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Asset Impairment
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.  In performing the review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value.  Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized.  Management estimates the fair value and the estimated future cash flows expected.  Any changes in these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the impairment.

 
22

 

Valuation of Non-Cash Capital Stock Issuances
The Company values its stock transactions based upon the fair value of the equity instruments.  Various methods can be used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument.  The Company may use the fair value of the consideration received, the quoted market price of the stock or a contemporaneous cash sale of the common or preferred stock.  Each of these methods may produce a different result.  Management uses the method it determines most appropriately reflects the stock transaction.  If a different method was used it could impact the expense and equity stock accounts.

Patent Costs
The Company estimates the patent applications it has filed will have a future beneficial value to the Company, thus it capitalizes the costs associated with filing for its patents.  At the time the patent is issued, the patent costs associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the patent.  If the patent is not issued, at that time the costs will be expensed.  A change in the estimate of the patent having a future beneficial value to the Company will impact the other assets and expense accounts of the Company.

Revenue Recognition
The recognition of the Company’s revenues requires judgment, including whether a sale includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements.  Customers may receive certain elements of our products over a period of time.  These elements could include licensing rights to manufacture and sell our proprietary patent protected products.  The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue.  The Company does not have any history as to the costs expected to be incurred in granting licensing rights relating to its products.  Therefore, revenues may be recorded that are not in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2008 are $599,200 and a net working capital at December 31, 2008 of $165,996.  Operations and investments in equipment and the acquisition of CUI, Inc. have been funded through cash from operations, equity financings and borrowings from private parties as well as related parties.

Cash used in operations
The Company’s operating requirements generated a negative cash flow from operations of $313,473 during 2008.

As the Company focuses on the WayCool technology and CUI product lines during 2009, it will continue to fund research and development related to these products together with related sales and marketing efforts for WayCool as well as its other electromechanical products.  The Company does not expect to record significant revenue from the WayCool technology until this product line is fully developed and licensing agreements for the manufacture and sale of its products are in place and operational.

Capital Expenditures and Investments
During 2008, the Company invested $128,922 in fixed assets.  The Company anticipates further investment in fixed assets during 2009 in support of its on-going business and continued development of product lines.

The Company invested $88,672 in patent costs during 2008.  The Company expects its investment in patent costs will continue throughout 2009 as it invests in patents to protect the rights to use its product developments.

Effective May 16, 2008, Waytronx acquired CUI, Inc.  The funding for this acquisition was provided by a $6,000,000 bank note, a $14,000,000 seller’s note, and a $17,500,000 convertible seller’s note.  The following details the acquisition:

Recap of liquidity and capital resources
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing uncertainty with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern.  Prior to the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company was not generating significant revenues to fund operations.  Subsequent to the acquisition of CUI, Inc., management believes the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues to fund operations in the first full year of operations that include CUI.  As of December 31, 2008 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $50,548,086.

The Company may seek to raise additional capital for the commercialization of its WayCool technology product lines and CUI product lines.  The Company believes its operations and existing financing structure will provide sufficient cash to meet its short-term working capital requirements for the next twelve months.  As the Company continues to expand and develop its technology and product lines, additional funding sources may be required.  The Company will attempt to raise these funds through borrowing instruments or issuing additional equity.

As of December 31, 2008 CUI Inc. maintained a line of credit with Key Bank granting borrowings of up to $3,000,000 with interest payable monthly at the bank’s prime lending rate less 0.25 percentage points.

Management expects the WayCool technology to be commercialized during 2009.  The Company cannot assure that it will generate material revenues by that date or that its revenues will be sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses.  The Company expects the revenues from CUI, Inc. to help cover the operating and other expenses.  If revenues are not sufficient to cover all operating and other expenses, additional funding will be required.  There is no assurance the Company will be able to raise such additional capital.  The failure to raise additional capital or generate product sales in the expected time frame will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2008, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Results of Operations
The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Revenue
During the year ended 2008, revenue was $19,555,935 and $157,258.  The revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 is comprised of $19,218,109 from CUI products, $122,299 for freight, $10,000 for a cancellation fee, $58,975 from Living Window™ products and related add-ons, $143,722 from RediAlert™ products and $2,830 from other income.  For the year ended December 31, 2007, revenue was comprised of $91,070 from RediAlert™ products, $48,823 from Living Window™ products and related add-ons, and $17,365 from other.

During 2008, 39% of revenues were derived from three customers at 33%, 3% and 3%.
During 2007, 70% of revenues were derived from three customers at 43%, 14% and 13%.

Cost of revenue
The cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $11,874,250 and $2,318,602, respectively.  The significant increase during 2008 compared to the prior year is primarily the result of the acquisition of CUI, Inc. and its related operations.  In 2007, the Company incurred an inventory write-down of $2,048,538 for the impairment of inventory to net realizable market value.

 
25

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses includes such items as wages, consulting, general office expenses, business promotion expenses and costs of being a public company including legal and accounting fees, insurance and investor relations.

SG&A expenses increased to $7,615,737 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $1,888,098 for the same period during 2007.  This increase of $5,727,639 is primarily the result of the acquisition of CUI, Inc. and its related operations.

The Company anticipates its sales and marketing expenditures and general and administrative expenses will further increase in 2009 as the Company will experience a full year of CUI operations.

Research and Development
The research and development costs are related to the technology for which Waytronx acquired the licensing rights as well as research and development expenses for CUI products.  Research and development costs were $513,671 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $1,191,854 for the same period during 2007.  The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in expenditures towards the development of the WayCool technologies during 2008.  The Company expects that research and development expenses will increase during 2009 as the Company continues to expand its product offering and continues to fund the development of its WayCool thermal management technology.

Impairment Loss
The Company recorded a $247,617 impairment loss during 2008 related to patents.

Bad Debt
Bad debt expense increased to $163,770 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $18,470 for the same period ended 2007.  The bad debt expense relates to a note receivable from the settlement gain from Mobil Magic and miscellaneous other customers as well as an addition made for the allowance for bad debts.  Mobil Magic remains in default on the note, and Waytronx has not received a payment on this note since January of 2008.  The Company has reserved fully for the note and is pursuing collection of the balance of $91,500 but the outcome of the collections process is uncertain.

Other Income
Other income for the year ended December 31, 2008, consisted of $2,831,688 in derivative income associated with the change in value of the derivative liability recognized for the potential conversion of warrants, options and convertible debt into common stock, $138,477 for services billed to a related party, $20,107 for interest income, $10,897 for foreign exchange gain, and $7,881 in income.

Financing Fees
During 2008, the Company paid financing fees of $28,158 related to the $3,000,000 bank line of credit and the $6,000,000 bank loan.  During 2007, there were no financing fees recorded.

During April 2006 the Company negotiated the terms of a full and final settlement with Fusion Three, LLC whereby Fusion Three, LLC relinquishes all rights and claims to any revenues and fees in consideration for the Company issuing to Fusion Three, LLC a three year warrant authorizing Fusion Three, LLC to purchase up to 5,600,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $0.20.  The Company also agreed to issue Fusion Three, LLC a warrant to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock at per share price of $0.35 for 300,000 shares; $0.50 for 300,000 shares; $0.75 for 300,000 shares and $1.00 for 300,000 shares before November 15, 2007.  During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a net settlement loss of $2,780,000 associated with this transaction.  The Company recorded a settlement gain during the fiscal year 2007 of $76,831.

Change in value of warrant liability
During the year ended December 31, 2008, a gain of $2,831,688 was recorded for the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Non-cash interest expense, amortization of beneficial conversion value, amortization of debt offering costs, warrant related debt discounts, intrinsic value of convertible debt and amortization of warrant related debt discount
The Company recorded an expense of $2,153,577 during 2008 and $338,361 during 2007, for non-cash interest expenses, including amortization of beneficial conversion value, amortization of debt offering costs, warrant related debt discounts and intrinsic value of convertible debt and amortization of debt discount.  The increase in this expense is primarily associated with the debts incurred related to the acquisition of CUI, Inc.

Interest Expense
The Company incurred $1,362,416 and $283,657 of interest expense during 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Interest expense for 2008 is for interest on the secured convertible notes, secured and unsecured promissory notes, and the bank line of credit.  Interest expense of $283,657 in 2007 is for interest on the secured convertible notes payable and secured and unsecured promissory notes.

Net Loss
The net loss of $1,830,367 for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased $3,916,301 compared to the same period in 2007.  The decrease in net loss during 2008 compared to 2007 is mainly the result of the addition of CUI, Inc. operations and the decrease in operating expenses related to Waytronx.

Preferred Stock Dividends
During the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends of $0 and $0, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”.  This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS No. 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating Consistency of Financial Statements (AS/6). The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements.  SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Not applicable
 
Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The Financial Statements and the report of Webb & Company, P.A. dated March 26, 2009 are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.  Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

The Company has had no disagreements with Webb & Company, P. A. as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

Not applicable.

Item 9A(T) Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CAO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
Immediately following the acquisition of CUI, Inc., Daniel N. Ford assumed the Chief Financial Officer position for both Waytronx, Inc. and its subsidiary CUI, Inc.   We have note identified any significant deficiency or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Effective May 15, 2008, The Company appointed Daniel N. Ford as Chief Financial Officer of Waytronx and its wholly owned subsidiary, CUI, Inc.  There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 
29

 

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CAO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in our Audit Committee Charter and Audit Committee Policy and Procedures. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.  A copy of our Audit Committee Charter can be viewed on our Website: www.waytronx.com.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Item 9B. Other Information

There are no matters to be reported under this Item.

PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

Our Bylaws permit the number of directors to be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors, but to be no less than one.  The Board of Directors has set the maximum number of members to no more than eight members.  Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of Common and Preferred Stock and serve two year terms or until their successors have been elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.  Currently, there are six (6) directors.  The standards relied upon by the Board of Directors in determining whether a director is “independent” are posted on our website at www.waytronx.com.

By April 24, 2007 Board of Directors resolution, the owners of Series C preferred stock have the exclusive right to appoint three board members.  See above, Section Convertible Preferred Shares in Item 5, Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Because Waytronx is a small entity, the Company is dependent on the efforts of a limited number of management personnel.  The Company believes that because of the large amount of responsibility being placed on each member of its management team, the loss of services of any member of this team at the present time would harm its business.  Each member of its management team supervises the operation and growth of one or more integral parts of its business.

Certain Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Colorado Business Corporation Act Relating to Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Colorado General Corporation Act provides that each existing or former director and officer of a corporation may be indemnified in certain instances against certain liabilities which he or she may incur, inclusive of fees, costs and other expenses incurred in connection with such defense, by virtue of his or her relationship with the corporation or with another entity to the extent that such latter relationship shall have been undertaken at the request of the corporation; and may have advanced such expenses incurred in defending against such liabilities upon undertaking to repay the same in the event an ultimate determination is made denying entitlement to indemnification. The Company's bylaws incorporate the statutory form of indemnification by specific reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities may be invoked to disclaim liability for damages arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1934 (collectively, the "Acts"), as amended, it is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Acts and are therefore, unenforceable.

We intend to voluntarily send annual reports to our shareholders, which will include audited financial statements.  We are a reporting company, and file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including this Form 10-K as well as quarterly reports under Form 10-Q.  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.  Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The company files its reports electronically and the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information filed by the company with the SEC electronically.  The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Our Corporate Governance Practices
We have always believed in strong and effective corporate governance procedures and practices.  In that spirit, we have summarized several of our corporate governance practices below.

 
35

 

Adopting Governance Guidelines
Our board of directors has adopted a set of corporate governance guidelines to establish a framework within which it will conduct its business and to guide management in its running of your Company.  The governance guidelines can be found on our website at www.waytronx.com and are summarized below.

Monitoring Board Effectiveness
It is important that our board of directors and its committees are performing effectively and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.  The board of directors and each committee are responsible for annually assessing their effectiveness in fulfilling their obligations.

Conducting Formal Independent Director Sessions
At the conclusion of each regularly scheduled board meeting, the independent directors meet without our management or any non-independent directors.

Hiring Outside Advisors
The board and each of its committees may retain outside advisors and consultants of their choosing at our expense, without management's consent.

Avoiding Conflicts of Interest
We expect our directors, executives and employees to conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity, ethics and honesty.  Our credibility and reputation depend upon the good judgment, ethical standards and personal integrity of each director, executive and employee.  In order to provide assurances to the Company and its stockholders, we have implemented standards of business conduct which provide clear conflict of interest guidelines to its employees and directors, as well as an explanation of reporting and investigatory procedures.

Providing Transparency
We believe that it is important that stockholders understand our governance practices.  In order to help ensure transparency of our practices, we have posted information regarding our corporate governance procedures on our website at www.waytronx.com.

Communications with the Board of Directors
Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the board of directors, stockholders may communicate with the board of directors by writing to the Company at Waytronx, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300.  Stockholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.

Standards of Business Conduct
The board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all of our employees and directors, including the Company's principal executive and senior financial officers.  You can obtain a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics via our website at www.waytronx.com or by making a written request to the Company at Waytronx, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300.  We will disclose any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or waiver of a provision there from, on our website at www.waytronx.com.

Ensuring Auditor Independence
We have taken a number of steps to ensure the continued independence of our independent registered public accounting firm.  That firm reports directly to the Audit Committee, which also has the ability to pre-approve or reject any non-audit services proposed to be conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm.

 
36

 

Code of Ethics
The Company Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics for Principal Executives and Financial Officers that describes the required conduct of honest and ethical behavior in the conduct of their duties.  This code does not cover every issue that may arise, but sets out basic principles relating to conflict of interest, corporate opportunities, insider trading, confidentiality, protection and proper use of company assets, compliance with laws, rules and regulations, reporting of illegal or unethical behavior and accountability.  The Code of Ethics is available for viewing on our website at www.waytronx.com.  Copies of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be provided free of charge upon written request to Waytronx, Inc., 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062, phone (503) 612-2300 or on our website at www.waytronx.com.

Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is established pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for the purposes of overseeing the company’s accounts and financial reporting processes and audits of its financial statements.  The Audit Committee is directly responsible for, among other things, the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent Registered Public Accounting firm, review of financial reporting, internal company processes of business/financial risk and applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements.

The Audit Committee is currently comprised of the Company Board of Directors.  Sean P. Rooney serves as committee Chairman and Thomas A. Price serves as Deputy Chairman.  Both Mr. Rooney and Mr. Price are independent in accordance with applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ listing standards.  Mr. Rooney and Mr. Price have an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and have experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breath and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the financial statements of the Company, including our balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.  They have an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and an understanding of audit committee functions as well as the ability to access the general application of such accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves.  The Board of Directors has determined that Messers Rooney and Price are “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Section 401(h) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act.  Our Audit Committee acts pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which is available from the Company and is posted on our website at www.waytronx.com.  The Audit Committee has established a procedure to receive complaints regarding accounts, internal controls and auditing issues.

Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee reviews the financial information that will be provided to the shareholders and others, the systems of internal controls established by management and the Board and the independence and performance of the Company’s audit process.

The Audit Committee has:
 
1.
Reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report and Form 10-K;

 
37

 

 
2.
Discussed with Webb & Company, P.A. the Company’s independent auditors, the matters required to be discussed by statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
 
3.
Received the written disclosures and letter from Webb & Company, P.A. as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1; and
 
4.
Discussed with Webb & Company, P.A. its independence.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee has recommended that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The Audit Committee has also considered whether the amount and nature of non-audit services provided by Webb & Company, P.A. is compatible with the auditor’s independence.

Nominating Committee
The nominating committee consists of all of the members of the Board of Directors who are "independent directors" within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Stock Market.  The nominating committee is responsible for the evaluation of nominees for election as director, the nomination of director candidates for election by the shareholders and evaluation of sitting directors.  The Board has not developed a formal policy for the identification or evaluation of nominees.  In general, when the Board determines that expansion of the Board or replacement of a director is necessary or appropriate, the nominating committee will review, through candidate interviews with members of the Board and management, consultation with the candidate's associates and through other means, a candidate's honesty, integrity, reputation in and commitment to the community, judgment, personality and thinking style, willingness to invest in the Company, residence, willingness to devote the necessary time, potential conflicts of interest, independence, understanding of financial statements and issues, and the willingness and ability to engage in meaningful and constructive discussion regarding Company issues.  The committee would review any special expertise, for example, that qualifies a person as an audit committee financial expert, membership or influence in a particular geographic or business target market, or other relevant business experience.  To date the Company has not paid any fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or to assist it in identifying or evaluating, potential director candidates.

The nominating committee will consider director candidates nominated by shareholders during such times as the Company is actively considering obtaining new directors.  Candidates recommended by shareholders will be evaluated based on the same criteria described above.  Shareholders desiring to suggest a candidate for consideration should send a letter to the Company's Secretary and include: (a) a statement that the writer is a shareholder (providing evidence if the person's shares are held in street name) and is proposing a candidate for consideration; (b) the name and contact information for the candidate; (c) a statement of the candidate's business and educational experience; (d) information regarding the candidate's qualifications to be director, including but not limited to an evaluation of the factors discussed above which the Board would consider in evaluating a candidate; (e) information regarding any relationship or understanding between the proposing shareholder and the candidate; (f) information regarding potential conflicts of interest; and (g) a statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as director if nominated and elected.  Because of the small size of the Company and the limited need to seek additional directors, there is no assurance that all shareholder proposed candidates will be fully considered, that all candidates will be considered equally, or that the proponent of any candidate or the proposed candidate will be contacted by the Company or the Board, and no undertaking to do so is implied by the willingness to consider candidates proposed by shareholders.

39

 

Committee Meetings
Our Compensation Committee meets as often as necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities.  The Compensation Committee held three meetings during fiscal 2008.  On an as requested basis, our Compensation Committee receives and reviews materials prepared by management, consultants, or committee members, in advance of each meeting.  Depending on the agenda for the particular meeting, these materials may include:
 
·
Minutes and materials from the previous meeting(s);
 
·
Reports on year-to-date Company and Partnership financial performance versus budget;
 
·
Reports on progress and levels of performance of individual and Company performance objectives;
 
·
Reports on the Company’s financial and stock performance versus a peer group of companies;
 
·
Reports from the Committee’s compensation consultant regarding market and industry data relevant to executive officer compensation;
 
·
Reports and executive compensation summary worksheets, which sets forth for each executive officer: current total compensation and incentive compensation target percentages, current equity ownership holdings and general partner ownership interest, and current and projected value of each and all such compensation elements, including distributions and dividends there from, over a five year period.

Compensation Philosophy
General Philosophy
Our compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance.  Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, we consider all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, our desire to link pay with performance, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of our stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, each executive’s total compensation package, and internal pay equity.  We strive to accomplish these objectives by compensating all employees with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and incentive compensation. 

Pay for Performance
At the core of our compensation philosophy is our strong belief that pay should be directly linked to performance.  We believe in a pay for performance culture that places a significant portion of executive officer total compensation as contingent upon, or variable with, individual performance, Company performance and achievement of strategic goals including increasing shareholder value.

The performance based compensation for our executives may be in the form of (i) annual cash incentives to promote achievement of, and accountability for, shorter term performance plans and strategic goals, and (ii) equity grants, designed to align the long-term interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders, by creating a strong and direct link between executive compensation and shareholder return over a multiple year performance cycle.  Long term incentive equity awards are granted in restricted stock.  These shares/units generally vest over a two-year period.  This opportunity for share ownership was provided in order to provide incentive and retain key employees and align their interests with our long term strategic goals.

Base Compensation to be Competitive within Industry
A key component of an executive’s total compensation base salary is designed to compensate executives commensurate with their respective level of experience, scope of responsibilities, sustained individual performance and future potential.  The goal has been to provide for base salaries that are sufficiently competitive with other similar-sized companies, both regionally and nationally, in order to attract and retain talented leaders.

Compensation Setting Process
Management’s Role in the Compensation Setting Process.
Management plays a significant role in the compensation-setting process.  The most significant aspects of management role are:
 
·
Assisting in establishing business performance goals and objectives;
 
·
Evaluating employee and company performance;
 
·
CEO recommending compensation levels and awards for executive officers;
 
·
Implementing the Board approved compensation plans; and
 
·
Assistance in preparing agenda and materials for the Committee meetings.

The Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel generally attend the Committee meetings.  However, the Committee also regularly meets in executive session.  The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations with respect to financial and corporate goals and objectives and makes non CEO executive compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee based on company performance, individual performance and the peer group compensation market analysis.  The Compensation Committee considers and deliberates on this information and in turn makes recommendations to the Board of Directors, for the Board’s determination and approval of the executives’ and other members of senior management’s compensation, including base compensation, short-term cash incentives and long-term equity incentives.  The Chief Executive Officer’s performance and compensation is reviewed, evaluated and established separately by the Compensation Committee and ratified and approved by the Board of Directors.

Setting Compensation Levels
To evaluate our total compensation is competitive and provides appropriate rewards to attract and retain talented leaders, as discussed above, we may rely on analyses of peer companies performed by independent compensation consultants and on other industry and occupation specific survey data available to us.  Our general benchmark is to establish both base salary and total compensation for the executive officers at the 50th percentile of the peer group data, recognizing that a significant portion of executive officer total compensation should be contingent upon, or variable with, achievement of individual and Company performance objectives and strategic goals, as well as being variable with stockholder value.  Further, while the objective for base salary is at the 50th percentile of the peer group data, executives’ base salaries are designed to reward core competencies and contributions to the Company, and may be increased above this general benchmark based on (i) the individual’s increased contribution over the preceding year; (ii) the individual’s increased responsibilities over the preceding year; and (iii) any increase in median competitive pay levels.

 
41

 

Setting Performance Objectives
The Company’s business plans and strategic objectives are generally presented by management at the Company’s annual board meeting.  The board engages in an active discussion concerning the financial targets, the appropriateness of the strategic objectives, and the difficulty in achieving same.  In establishing the compensation plan, our Compensation Committee then utilizes the primary financial objectives from the adopted business plan, operating cash flow, as the primary targets for determining the executive officers’ short-term cash incentives and long term equity incentive compensation.  The Committee also establishes additional non-financial performance goals and objectives, the achievement of which is required for funding of a significant portion, twenty five percent, of the executive officers’ incentive compensation.  In 2008, these non financial performance goals and objectives included achieving accurate financial reporting and timely SEC filings; demonstrating full compliance and superior performance in the Company’s environmental, health and safety practices; performing appropriate SOX/404 remediation activities and achieving successful testing of and compliance with SOX requirements; and general and administrative expense management.

Annual Evaluation
The Chief Executive Officer recommends the actual incentive award amounts for all other executives based on actual company performance relative to the targets as well as on individual performance, and recommends the executives’ base salaries levels for the coming year.  The Compensation Committee considers these recommendations generally at the end of each fiscal year in determining its recommendations to the Board of Directors for the final short-term cash incentive and long-term equity award amounts for each executive and for the executive’s base salary levels.  The actual incentive amounts awarded to each executive are ultimately subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.

Additional equity-based awards may be also granted to executives, as well as other employees, upon commencement of employment, for promotions or special performance recognition, or for retention purposes, based on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.  In determining whether to recommend additional grants to an executive, the Chief Executive Officer typically considers the individual’s performance and any planned change in functional responsibility.

Elements of Executive Compensation
Total Compensation
Total compensation for our executives consists of three elements: (i) base salary; (ii) incentive cash award based on achieving specific performance targets as measured by cash flow and other objectives; and (iii) equity incentive award, which is also performance based and paid out over a future period in the form of restricted stock or warrants.  Base salaries are the value upon which both the incentive compensation percentage targets are measured against.  For evaluation and comparison of overall compensation of the executives, and to assist it in making its compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee reviews an executive compensation summary, which sets forth for each executive: current compensation and current equity ownership holdings as well as the projected value of each and all such compensation elements, including distributions and dividends there from.

Base Salaries
Base salaries are designed to compensate executives commensurate with their respective level of experience, scope of responsibilities, and to reward sustained individual performance and future potential.  The goal has been to provide for base salaries that are sufficiently competitive with other similar-sized companies, both regionally and nationally, in order to attract and retain talented leaders.

 
42

 

Incentive Compensation
Incentive compensation is intended to align compensation with business objectives and performance and enable the company to attract, retain and reward high quality executive officers whose contributions are critical to short and long-term success of the Company.  The executives’ incentive awards are based upon three key performance metrics: 1) the Company’s operating cash flow; 2) achievement of agreed-upon strategic and corporate performance goals; and 3) each executive’s departmental and individual goals and performance.  The actual incentive amounts awarded to each executive are ultimately subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors

Incentive Plan Compensation
Incentive awards are paid out in cash, restricted common stock or warrant/option awards.  The incentive award targets for the executives are established at the beginning of the year as a percentage of their base salary, and the actual awards are determined at the following year’s Annual Board of Directors meetings based on actual company performance relative to established goals and objectives, as well as on evaluation of the executive’s relevant departmental and individual performance during the past year.  The award of restricted common stock generally vests over a two year term in four equal six months traunches.  The award of restricted common stock purchased through warrants generally vests immediately upon issuance of the warrant which generally has a validity of three years and a per share purchase price of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.  The awards are intended to serve as a means of incentive compensation for performance.

Retirement Plans
Following the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company now maintains a 401(k) plan.  There are no other supplemental retirement benefits to our senior executives.

Change in Control Agreements
Our executives are not awarded any type of protection upon a change in control unless specifically provided in an employment contract.

Perquisites
The Company does not provide for any perquisites or any other benefits for its senior executives that are not generally available to all employees.

Compensation Committee Report
We have reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management.  Based on our review and discussion with management, we have recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
On August 25, 2005 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and authorized 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to fund the Plan.  At the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 13, 2005, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company shareholders.

On May 15, 2008 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Waytronx, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and authorized 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock to fund the Plan.  At the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 15, 2005, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company shareholders.

Both the 2005 and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plans are intended to: (a) provide incentive to employees of the Company and its affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward the continued success of the Company and to operate and manage the business in a manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by employees, directors and independent contractors by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company by acquiring shares of Stock or to receive compensation which is based upon appreciation in the value of Stock; and (c) provide a means of obtaining and rewarding employees, directors, independent contractors and advisors.

Both Equity Incentive Plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and Non Statutory Options (NSOs) to employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company.  The Board shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder.  In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under the both plans have a maximum duration of 10 years.

Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders
The Company has outstanding at December 31, 2008, the following options issued under equity compensation plans not approved by security holders:

 
50

 

During 2004, the Company issued options to various employees and a director for the right to acquire 1,700,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25.  The options are fully vested and expire during 2009.

During 2006, the Company issued options to various employees, directors, consultants for the right to acquire 2,828,001 shares of its common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $0.61.  The options expire during 2009 to 2011 are fully vested.

During 2007, the Company issued options to a consultant for the right to acquire 50,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25.  The options are fully vested and expire during 2010.

During 2008, the Company issued to investors, directors and an employee warrants for the right to purchase 6,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.01.  The warrants vested 50% at issuance, 25% at the first anniversary and 25% at the second anniversary and expire during 2011.

During 2008, the Company issued warrants for the right to purchase 390,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 to a consultant pursuant to a consulting agreement.  The warrants are fully vested and expire during 2011.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

Except as set forth herein, none of the Company’s directors or officers nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to its outstanding shares, nor any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction in any presently proposed transaction which has or will materially affect the Company.

During fiscal year 2008, three executive officers were employed under employment agreements currently being finalized with the Company.  For description of the employment agreements, see “Executive Compensation” and “Employment Agreements”.

On October 4, 2005, the Company paid $50,000 to extend a letter of intent for the sale and purchase of certain intellectual property.  William J. Clough, CEO/President and Director, and Bradley J. Hallock, Senior Vice President, have a controlling interest in the company (CH Capital) that was named as the seller of the intellectual property.  The letter of intent gave the Company the right to acquire the WayCool technology for $800,000 and the issuance of warrants to acquire five percent of the Company’s fully diluted equity securities after giving effect to the Company’s fund raising efforts.  The warrants have the same pricing and terms issued in connection with the Company’s private equity fund raising.  On March 24, 2006, CH Capital assigned to the Company all right, title and interest to the WayCool patent in consideration for $800,000 and a three year warrant for 7,040,485 common shares at a per share price of $0.20.  The $800,000 amount represents reimbursement for the time and money CH Capital spent acquiring and developing the WayCool technology.  This assignment has been recorded and is a matter of record with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  For a more detailed explanation, please see the section above entitled “Intellectual Property Rights to WayCool Thermal Management Technology”.

In April of 2007 a three-month promissory note was entered into with a director and proceeds received totaling $80,000.  Interest accrues at 12% per annum until the maturity of this note, at which time the principal is due.  In July 2007, $40,800 of principal and interest was repaid, and the remaining principal and interest of $42,000 was repaid in August 2007.

 
51

 

In January 2008 the Company negotiated a sale of one million registered shares of common stock to three individuals in consideration of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).  The $0.25 per share price was calculated from a ten per cent (10%) discount to the average trailing close price for the last 30 trading days of 2007.  Because the Company did not have available the one million registered shares, a shareholder agreed to accommodate the Company by conveying the registered shares from his personal portfolio and accepting one million restricted shares from the Company as reimbursement.  Because of the value differential between the registered versus restricted stock, the Company agreed to convey to the shareholder one hundred thousand additional restricted common shares.

In May 2008 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary into which CUI, Inc., an Oregon corporation, merged all of its assets.  The consideration paid by the Company is summarized as follows:
 
·
$6,000,000 cash loan from Commerce Bank of Oregon, term of 3 years, interest only, prime rate less 0.50%, secured by Letters of Credit.
 
·
$14,000,000 promissory note to CUI shareholders, payable monthly over three years at $30,000 per month including 1.7% annual simple interest with a balloon payment at the thirty sixth monthly payment, no prepayment penalty, annual success fee of 2.3% payable within three years, right of first refusal to the note payees relating to any private capital raising transactions of Waytronx during the term of the note.
 
·
$17,500,000 convertible promissory note plus 1.7% annual simple interest and 2.3% annual success fee, permitting payees to convert any unpaid principal, interest and success fee to Waytronx common stock at a per share price of $0.25 and at the end of the three year term giving to Waytronx the singular, discretionary right to convert any unpaid principal, interest and success fee to Waytronx common stock at a per share price of $0.25.  This note also provides a right of first refusal to the note payees relating to any private capital raising transactions of Waytronx during the term of the note.
 
·
Appointment by note payees of three members to Board of Directors for so long as there remains an unpaid balance on the above described promissory notes.

In May 2008, in consideration for posting Letters of Credit in favor of the Commerce Bank of Oregon, the Company issued to the individuals who supplied the Letters of Credit warrants to purchase, within 3 years at a per share price of $0.01, one Waytronx common share for each dollar of the Letters of Credit.  Fifty percent (50%) of the warrants for each investor vest upon the Date of Issuance; twenty five percent (25%) of the warrants vest at the one year anniversary of the Date of Issuance and twenty five percent (25%) of the warrants vest at the two year anniversary of the Date of Issuance.  Should the underlying debt to the Commerce Bank of Oregon be satisfied or all, or any portion, of the Holder’s Letter of Credit is released prior to any vesting as noted above, then any remaining warrant shares shall not vest to the Holder under the terms of the Warrant.

Following the acquisition of CUI, Inc., the Company moved its facilities to the CUI, Inc. facility at 20050 SW 112th Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon 97062.  This facility is leased from a related party, Barakel, LLC.  Barakel, LLC is majority owned by James McKenzie, a majority holder of the $17,500,000 convertible note related to the CUI, Inc. acquisition and Matt McKenzie, COO and Director of the Company.  For further discussion of the lease, please see the Leases footnote to the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:
Waytronx, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Waytronx, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Waytronx, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,830,367 and cash used in operations of $313,473 and an accumulated deficit of $50,548,086 at December 31, 2008. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Waytronx, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007

1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Waytronx, Inc. (formerly known as OnScreen Technologies, Inc.) has pioneered and is commercializing innovative thermal management solutions capable of revolutionizing the LED display, semiconductor and electronic packaging industries. Utilizing patented and patent-pending thermal technologies and architecture we have developed highly advanced, proprietary LED display solutions and cooling applications.  Waytronx is primarily focused on the commercialization of their innovative thermal cooling technology, WayCool.

Effective May 16, 2008, Waytronx, Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Waytronx Holdings, Inc., to acquire the assets of CUI, Inc., a Tualatin, Oregon based provider of electronic components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The wholly owned subsidiary was renamed CUI, Inc. following the close of the acquisition.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that Waytronx will continue as a going concern.  As reflected in these financial statements, we had a net loss of $1,830,367 and cash used in operations of $313,473 and an accumulated deficit of $50,548,086 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability to bring the WayCool products to market, generate increased sales, obtain positive cash flow from operations and raise additional capital as well as grow CUI sales. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

If necessary, we will continue to raise additional capital to provide sufficient cash to meet the funding required to commercialize our technology product lines.   As we continue to expand and develop technology and product lines, additional funding may be required.  There have been negative cash flows from operations and incurred net losses in the past and there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which additional financing and capital might be available if needed.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include estimates used to review the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances, valuations of derivatives and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for 2008 include the accounts of Waytronx, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary CUI, Inc. (for the period May 16, 2008 to December 31, 2008), the financial statements for 2007 include the accounts of Waytronx, Inc.,  hereafter referred to as the “Company”.  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

Management believes the carrying amounts of the short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, deferred compensation and other liabilities reflected in the accompanying balance sheet approximate fair value at December 31, 2008 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes deposits at financial institutions with maturities of three months or less.  The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits and places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions.  At December 31, 2008, the Company had no cash balances at financial institutions which were in excess of the FDIC insured limits.  However, at December 31, 2008, the Company held $100,458 in the CUI Europe foreign bank account.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Accounts receivable consist of the receivables associated with the revenue derived from product sales.  An allowance for uncollectible accounts is recorded to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, based on an analysis of prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends.  Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $135,000 at December 31, 2008 is considered adequate.  Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of original invoices.  The Company grants credit to its customers, with standard terms of Net 30 days.  The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, therefore, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

Inventory
Inventories consist of finished products and are stated at the lower of cost or market; using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method as a cost flow convention.  At December 31, 2008 inventory is valued at $4,077,367.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash is maintained in bank deposit and financial institution deposit accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits.  These accounts may also be held in foreign bank accounts.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2008.

Furniture, Equipment and Software

Furniture, equipment and software are recorded at cost and include major expenditures, which increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.

Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to expenses when incurred.  When furniture and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

The cost of furniture, equipment and software is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.  The estimated useful lives and accumulated depreciation for furniture, equipment and software are as follows:

 
Estimated
Useful Life
Furniture and equipment
5 to 7 years
Software
3 to 5 years

Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable assets related to those assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  If the non-discounted future cash flows of the enterprise are less than their carrying amount, their carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.  The Company recorded an impairment expense of $247,617 related to capitalized patents during 2008.

Identifiable Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment.  Intangible assets other than goodwill, technology rights and patents are amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years.  Technology rights are amortized over a twenty year life and are reviewed for impairment annually.  Patent costs are amortized over the life of the patent.  Any patents not approved will be expensed at that time.

Intangible assets consist of the following as of December 31, 2008 and 2007:

As of December 31, 2008, $4,943,965 of costs related to technology rights acquired since 2003 have been capitalized.  Technology rights are amortized over a twenty year life.

As of December 31, 2008, $584,344 of costs related to filing patent applications have been capitalized.  When patents are approved, the costs are amortized over the life of the patent.  Any patents not approved will be expensed at that time.

As of December 31, 2008, $2,044,646 of debt offering costs related to the warrants issued for the personal guarantees provided on behalf of the Company to secure the $6,000,000 bank loan.  The debt offering costs are amortized over the life of the loan.

As of December 31, 2008, $32,282,686 of costs related to Goodwill have been capitalized.  Goodwill is reviewed regularly for impairment by management.

As of December 31, 2008, $72,933 of costs related to other intangible assets have been capitalized and are being amortized over their useful lives.

Investment – Equity Method
Through the acquisition of CUI, Inc. the Company obtained 352,589 common shares representing a 10.47% interest in Test Products International, Inc., hereafter referred to as TPI.  TPI is a provider of handheld test and measurement equipment.  The Company also has a demand receivable from TPI of $187,569 as of December 31, 2008.  The Company enjoys a close association with this affiliate through common Board of Director membership and participation, that allows for a significant amount of influence over affiliate business decisions.  Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the Company accounts for its investment in this affiliated entity under the equity method.

A summary of the unaudited financial statements of the affiliate for the year ended December 31, 2008 is as follows:

Asset Impairment
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.  In performing the review for recoverability, the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are estimated.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value.  Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized.  Management estimates the fair value and the estimated future cash flows expected.  Any changes in these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the impairment.

Patent Costs
The Company estimates the patents it has filed have a future beneficial value; therefore it capitalizes the costs associated with filing for its patents.  At the time the patent is approved, the patent costs associated with the patent are amortized over the useful life of the patent.  If the patent is not approved, at that time the costs will be expensed.  A change in the estimate of the patent having a future beneficial value will impact the other assets and expense accounts.

Derivative Liabilities
The Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants pursuant to SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which requires a periodic valuation of the fair value of derivative instruments and a corresponding recognition of liabilities associated with such derivatives. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of shares of common stock is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The recognition of derivative liabilities related to the issuance of convertible debt is applied first to the proceeds of such issuance as a debt discount, at the date of issuance, and the excess of derivative liabilities over the proceeds is recognized as other expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Any subsequent increase or decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities is recognized as other expense or other income, respectively. The reclassification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date. If a contract is reclassified from permanent equity to an asset or a liability, the change in the fair value of the contract during the period the contract was classified as equity is accounted for as an adjustment to equity. If a contract is reclassified from an asset or liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that contract was classified as an asset or a liability are not reversed but instead are accounted for as an adjustment to equity.

Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment” was implemented, which replaced SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and superseded APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  SFAS 123(R) requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related vesting period.  The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption.  Employee stock compensation is recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes Pricing Model.  In adopting SFAS 123(R), the modified prospective application (“MPA”) was used.  MPA requires all new stock compensation to employees to be accounted for using fair value.

See Note 14, for additional disclosure and discussion of the employee stock plan and activity.

Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by SFAS No. 123(R).  EITF Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services,” defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments.  In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested.  The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the EITF.

Revenue Recognition
The recognition of revenues requires judgment, including whether a sale includes multiple elements, and if so, whether vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those elements.  Customers receive certain elements of Waytronx products over a period of time.  These elements include licensing rights to manufacture and sell our proprietary patent protected products.  The ability to identify VSOE for those elements and the fair value of the respective elements could materially impact the amount of earned and unearned revenue.  Waytronx does not have any history as to the costs expected to be incurred in granting licensing rights relating to its products.  Therefore, revenues may be recorded that are not in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing these services.

Revenues from warranty and maintenance activities is recognized ratably over the term of the warranty and maintenance period and the unrecognized portion is recorded as deferred revenue.

 
F-14

 

Revenues in connection with electronic devices and component sales by CUI, Inc. are recognized at the time the product is shipped to the customer, collectability is reasonably assumed, the price is fixed and determinable and persuasive evidence of arrangement exists.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in sales, and were $169,079 and $2,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Company expenses inbound shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.

Warranty Reserves
A warranty reserve liability is recorded based on estimates of future costs on sales recognized.  There was no warranty reserve recorded at December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Advertising
In accordance with Accounting Standards Executive Committee Statement of Position 93-7, costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are charged to operations as incurred.  Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $421,096 and $0, respectively.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”).  Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation allowances have been established against deferred tax assets due to uncertainties in the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to make realization of such assets more likely than not.  An income tax benefit has not been recognized for its operating losses generated during 2008 and 2007 based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods.  There was no income tax receivable at December 31, 2008 and 2007.  In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares outstanding as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, which consist of options, warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, have been excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculations because they are anti-dilutive.  Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for 2008 and 2007.  The following table summarizes the potential common stock shares at December 31, 2008 and 2007, which may dilute future earnings per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”.  This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS No. 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

 
F-17

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating Consistency of Financial Statements (AS/6). The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements.  SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Employee Stock Options and Warrants
On January 1, 2006, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payment” was implemented, which replaced SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and superseded APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  SFAS 123(R) requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees be recorded as an expense over the related vesting period.  The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption.  During 2006, all employee stock compensation is recorded at fair value using the Black Scholes Pricing Model.  In adopting SFAS 123(R), the modified prospective application (“MPA”) was used.  MPA requires all new stock compensation to employees to be accounted for using fair value.  For any portion of awards made prior to January 1, 2006 for which the requisite service has not been rendered and the options remain outstanding as of January 1, 2006, compensation cost for that portion of the award the requisite service was rendered on or after January 1, 2006 was recognized.  The fair value for these awards was determined based on the grant-date.  As of January 1, 2006, accrued compensation payable in common stock of $469,112 previously classified as a liability was reclassified as equity due to the implementation of SFAS 123(R).

On June 26, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISO’s) to any individual who has been employed by the Company for a continuous period of at least six months.  The Plan also provides for the issuance of Non Statutory Options (NSO’s) to any employee who has been employed by the Company for a continuous period for at least six months, any director, or consultant to the Company.  The Company may also issue reload options as defined in the Plan.  The total number of common shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan is 600,000 shares.  The Board shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder.  In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISO’s and NSO’s granted under the Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

On August 25, 2005 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and authorized 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to fund the Plan.  At the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 13, 2005, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company shareholders.

On May 15, 2008 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Waytronx, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and authorized 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock to fund the Plan.  At the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 15, 2005, the Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company shareholders.

Both the 2005 and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plans are intended to: (a) provide incentive to employees of the Company and its affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward the continued success of the Company and to operate and manage the business in a manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of the Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by employees, directors and independent contractors by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company by acquiring shares of Stock or to receive compensation which is based upon appreciation in the value of Stock; and (c) provide a means of obtaining and rewarding employees, directors, independent contractors and advisors.

Both Equity Incentive Plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISOs) and Non Statutory Options (NSOs) to employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company.  The Board shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder.  In the case of an NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISOs and NSOs granted under the both plans have a maximum duration of 10 years.

At December 31, 2008 there are no shares of common stock available under the 2005 Equity Incentive Stock Plan.  At December 31, 2008, there are 380,704 shares of common stock available under the 2008 Equity Incentive Stock Plan.

 
During the years ended 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded compensation expense of $79,545 and $5,456, respectively, for stock options that the requisite service was performed during the year.  The compensation expense is recorded over the vesting period based upon fair market value of the options using the Black-Scholes option model in accordance with SFAS 123(R) as discussed in section Employee Stock Options and Warrants.

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares outstanding as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, which consist of options, warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, have been excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculations because they are anti-dilutive.  Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for 2008 and 2007.  The following table summarizes the potential common stock shares at December 31, 2008 and 2007, which may dilute future earnings per share.

INCOME TAXES
The Company recognized losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes during each of the periods in the accompanying statements of operations.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes and/or deferred income taxes payable has been provided for in the accompanying financial statements.
 
F-34

 
An income tax benefit has not been recognized for operating losses generated in prior periods based on uncertainties concerning the ability to generate taxable income in future periods.  At December 31, 2008, the Company has available net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $36,190,000.  These operating loss carry-forwards expire in various years through the year ending December 31, 2028; however, because the Company has incurred significant operating losses, utilization of the tax loss carry-forwards are not assured.  The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $1,390,000.  As a result, the non-current deferred income tax asset arising from these net operating loss carry-forwards and from other temporary differences are not recorded in the accompanying balance sheets because a valuation allowance was established to fully reserve such assets due to the uncertainty of the Company’s realization of this benefit.

After consideration of all the evidence management has determined that a full valuation allowance is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.

The Company’s tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, computed by applying the Federal Corporate tax rate of 34% to loss before taxes, as follows:

On June 26, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the OnScreen Technologies, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options (ISO’s) to any individual who has been employed by the Company for a continuous period of at least six months.  The Plan also provides for the issuance of Non Statutory Options (NSO’s) to any employee who has been employed by the Company for a continuous period of at least six months, and any director or consultant to the Company.  The Company may also issue reload options as defined in the plan.  The total number of common shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan is 600,000 shares.  The Board shall determine the exercise price per share in the case of an ISO at the time an option is granted and such price shall be not less than the fair market value or 110% of fair market value in the case of a ten percent or greater stockholder.  In the case of a NSO, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of one share of stock on the date the option is granted.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board, ISO’s and NSO’s granted under the Plan have a maximum duration of 10 years.

There were no non-vested stock options at December 31, 2007.  The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes Pricing Model.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the company granted 1,020,000 stock options to employees under the 2008 Plan with the following assumptions; exercise price of $0.19, volatility of 78%-99%, risk free interest rate of 0.03% - 1.64% and a term of 0.25 - 2 years.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
On May 15, 2008, the Company acquired CUI, Inc. and entered into a convertible seller’s note payable of $17,500,000 convertible at $0.25 per common share, totaling 70,000,000 shares.  This caused an insufficient amount of authorized shares to be available for the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and convertible debt.  Accordingly, on May 15, 2008, the Company was not able to assert that it had a sufficient number of authorized but un-issued shares to satisfy its obligations under outstanding options and warrant agreements and convertible debt.  Therefore, the Company accounted for all of its outstanding options, warrants and the convertible features of debt as derivative contracts and recorded a corresponding liability based on the fair value of such derivatives at the measurement dates.  The Company recognized a derivative liability on the seller’s notes payable of $8,028,838.

The Company computed fair value of the outstanding freestanding options, warrants and convertible debt and embedded conversion features, at their measurement date, using the Black Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

The aggregate fair value of the warrants, options and convertible notes embedded conversion features reclassified during the year ended December 31, 2008 amounted to approximately $6,121,526 at the date of their issuance or reclassification and were revalued using the above model assumptions to $3,257,291 at September 15, 2008 when additional shares were authorized to sufficiently satisfy existing obligations under outstanding options and warrant agreements and convertible debt.  Upon authorization of the additional shares, the company closed the related derivative liability based on the fair value of such derivatives at the measurement dates.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the company reclassified $10,841,928 of derivative liabilities to equity.
