CIRTRAN CORPORATION
A Nevada Corporation
100,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
$0.001 per share
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 100,000,000 shares (the "Shares")
of common stock of CirTran Corporation, a Nevada corporation. One of our
shareholders, Highgate House Funds, Ltd., (the "Selling Shareholder") is
offering all of the Shares covered by this prospectus. The Selling Shareholder
may receive shares in connection with conversions of our 5% Secured Convertible
Debenture (the "Debenture") sold to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to a
Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), discussed in more
detail herein. The Selling Shareholder may elect to convert, at its option, all
or part of the principal amount, together with accrued interest on the
Debenture, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price discussed in
more detail herein. The Selling Shareholder will receive all of the proceeds
from the sale of the Shares and we will receive none of those proceeds. Highgate
House Funds, Ltd. may be deemed to be an underwriter of the Shares.
-------------------------
Investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should consider
carefully the risk factors beginning on page 7 of this prospectus before
purchasing any of the Shares offered by this prospectus.
-------------------------
CirTran Corporation common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and trades
under the symbol "CIRT". The last reported sale price of our common stock on the
OTC Bulletin Board on September 21, 2005, was approximately $0.03 per share.
Nevertheless, the Selling Shareholders do not have to sell the Shares in
transactions reported on the OTC Bulletin Board, and may offer their Shares
through any type of public or private transactions.
CirTran currently has two concurrent offerings of its shares that will have a
dilutive effect on any purchaser of shares under this prospectus and the
registration statement of which it is a part. A registration statement on Form
SB-2 (SEC File Number 333-104668) covers sales by three of our shareholders of
shares issued in connection with a prior equity line of credit agreement,
described more fully in the section "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Prior
Equity Line of Credit Agreement" below. That equity line of credit agreement has
since terminated, and the Company intends to withdraw the registration
statement. Additionally, a registration statement on Form SB-2 (SEC File Number
333-117466) covers sales by two of our shareholders in connection with a Standby
Equity Distribution Agreement, described more fully in the section "Liquidity
and Capital Resources - Standby Equity Distribution Agreement" below. The
Company terminated the standby equity distribution agreement prior to that
registration statement being declared effective, and the Company intends to
withdraw that registration statement as well. The shares issuable in connection
with the prior equity line of credit agreement and the standby equity
distribution agreement are not covered by this prospectus or the registration
statement of which it is a part.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities
commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or passed upon the

Summary about CirTran Corporation and this offering
CirTran Corporation
CirTran Corporation is a Nevada corporation engaged in providing a mixture of
high and medium size volume turnkey manufacturing services for electronics
original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the communications, networking,
4
peripherals, gaming, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical,
and semiconductor industries. These services include providing design and new
product introduction services, just-in-time delivery on low-volume to
medium-volume turnkey and consignment projects, and other value-added
manufacturing services. Our manufacturing processes include the following:
surface mount technology, ball-grid array assembly and pin-through-hole
technology, which are all methods of attaching electronic components to circuit
boards; manufacturing and test engineering support and design for
manufacturability; and in-circuit and functional test and full-system mechanical
assembly. We also design and manufacture Ethernet cards that are used to connect
computers through fiber optic networks and market these cards through an
international network of distributors, value-added resellers and system
integrators.
We incorporated in Nevada in 1987 under the name Vermillion Ventures, Inc., for
the purpose of acquiring other operating corporate entities. We were largely
inactive until the year 2000, when we effected a reverse split in our common
stock, reducing our issued and outstanding shares to 116,004. In July 2000, we
issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock to acquire, through our wholly owned
subsidiary, CirTran Corporation (Utah), substantially all of the assets and
certain liabilities of Circuit Technology, Inc., a Utah corporation. The shares
we issued to Circuit Technology in connection with the acquisition represented
approximately 98.6% of our issued and outstanding common stock immediately
following the acquisition.
Effective August 6, 2001, we effected a 1:15 forward split and stock
distribution which increased the number of our issued and outstanding shares of
common stock from 10,420,067 to 156,301,005. We also increased our authorized
capital from 500,000,000 to 750,000,000 shares of common stock.
Our address is 4125 South 6000 West, West Valley City, Utah 84128, and our phone
number is (801) 963-5112.
This offering
On May 26, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") with Highgate House Funds, Ltd., a Cayman Island exempted company
("Highgate" or the "Selling Shareholder"), relating to the sale by us of a 5%
Secured Convertible Debenture, due December 31, 2007, in the aggregate principal
amount of $3,750,000 (the "Convertible Debenture").
In connection with the purchase of the Convertible Debenture, we used $2,265,000
to repay two promissory notes to Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("Cornell"), one
in the amount of $1,700,000, and the other in the amount of $565,000.
We also paid a commitment fee of $240,765, a structuring fee of $10,000 to
Highgate, and legal fees of $5,668. As such, of the total purchase amount of
$3,750,000, the net proceeds to us were $1,228,566. We intend to use these
proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, in our discretion.
The Convertible Debenture bears interest at a rate of 5%. Highgate is entitled
to convert, at its option, all or part of the principal amount owing under the
Convertible Debenture into shares of our common stock at a conversion price
equal to the lesser of (a) $0.10 per share, or (b) an amount equal to the lowest
closing bid price of the Common Stock as listed on the OTC Bulletin Board, as
quoted by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date. Except as otherwise set forth in the Convertible Debenture,
Highgate's right to convert principal amounts owing under the Convertible
Debenture into shares of our common stock is limited as follows:
1. Highgate may convert up to $250,000 worth of the principal
amount plus accrued interest of the Convertible Debenture in
any consecutive 30-day period when the market price of our
stock is $0.10 per share or less at the time of conversion;
2. Highgate may convert up to $500,000 worth of the principal
amount plus accrued interest of the Convertible Debenture in
any consecutive 30-day period when the price of our stock is
greater than $0.10 per share at the time of conversion,
5
provided, however, that Highgate may convert in excess of the
foregoing amounts if we and Highgate mutually agree; and
3. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the
Convertible Debenture), Highgate may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate full repayment of all debentures outstanding and
accrued interest thereon or may, notwithstanding any
limitations contained in the Convertible Debenture and/or the
Purchase Agreement, convert the Convertible Debenture and
accrued interest thereon into shares of our common stock
pursuant to the Convertible Debenture.
A chart showing the number of shares issuable upon hypothetical conversions at
particular conversion prices is set forth in the "Risk Factors" section on page
11.
Pursuant to the Convertible Debenture, interest is to be paid at the time of
maturity or conversion. We may, at our option, pay accrued interest in cash or
in shares of common stock. If paid in stock, the conversion price shall be the
closing bid price of the common stock on either (i) the date the interest
payment is due; or (ii) if the interest payment is not made when due, the date
on which the interest payment is made.
The terms of the Convertible Debenture include and set forth other information,
including certain limitations on conversions by Highgate and redemption of the
Convertible Debenture, all discussed more fully below in the Section "5%
Convertible Debenture." Additionally, in connection with the sale of the
Convertible Debenture, we entered into additional agreements with Highgate,
including a registration rights agreement, a security agreement, and an escrow
agreement, all discussed more fully below in the Section "5% Convertible
Debenture."
6
Risk Factors
In addition to the other information in this prospectus, the following risk
factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business before
purchasing any of our shares of common stock. A purchase of our common stock is
speculative and involves significant and substantial risks. Any person who is
not in a position to lose the entire amount of his investment should forego
purchasing our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Operations
We have a history of operating losses preceeding the quarter ended June 30,
200,5 and no assurance that we can stay profitable, which could have a material
adverse impact on our ability to continue operations.
We have had a history of losses preceeding this quarter, and our accumulated
deficit has decreased to $18,535,101 at June 30, 2005, compared to $18,799,602
at December 31, 2004. Our net income for the quarter ending June 30, 2005, was
$466,229, compared to a net loss of ($361,964) for the quarter ended June 30,
2004. Our ability to operate profitably depends on our ability to increase our
sales further and achieve sufficient gross profit margins for sustained growth.
We can give no assurance that we will be able to increase our sales sufficiently
to enable us to operate profitably, which could have a material adverse impact
on our business. Our ability to obtain funding has had a material effect on our
operations.
There is no guarantee that the fluctuations in the volume of our sales will
stabilize or that we will be able to continue to increase our revenues to exceed
our expenses. There are still doubts that we will be able to continue as a going
concern
Our current liabilities exceed our current assets, which causes doubts that we
may continue as a going concern.
Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by ($62,852) as of June 30,
2005, and ($3,558,826) as of December 31, 2004. For the six months ended June
30, 2005 and 2004, we had negative cash flows from operations of ($969,258) and
($1,131,294) respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we had improved the cash flow by
$162,036, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. This trend had
raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Despite obtaining additional financing through operations and investment
capital, there remains a doubt we will be able to meet our obligations as they
come due and will be able to execute our long-term business plans.
The "going concern" paragraph in the reports of our independent registered
public accounting firm for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, raises
doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The independent registered public accounting firm's reports for our financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 include an explanatory
paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. This may have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing for
our operations and to further develop and market our products.
Our volume of sales has fluctuated significantly over the last four years, and
there is no guarantee that we will be able to increase sales. These fluctuations
in sales volume could have a material adverse impact on our ability to operate
our business profitably.
Our sales volume increased in the year of 2004 as compared to 2003. Our sales
volumes for the previous four years have changed as indicated by the following
levels of net sales for the periods indicated: $1,870,848 for the year ended
December 31, 2001; $2,299,668 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and
$1,215,245 for the year ended December 31, 2003. For the year ended December 31,
2004 our sales increased to $8,862,715 which is a 629.3% increase from year
ended December 31, 2003. Net sales increased to $7,229,649 for the six month
period ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $2,603,604 during the same period in
2004, for an increase of 177.7%. This increase indicates an increasing trend in
7
sales volume. There is no guarantee that the fluctuations in the volume of our
sales will stabilize or that we will be able to continue to increase our sales
volume.
We have negotiated settlements with the Internal Revenue Service and the Utah
State Tax Commission. However if we are unable to pay the amounts required under
the agreements, the IRS and the Utah State Tax Commission could bring statutory
foreclosure proceedings against us.
We have entered into agreements with the Internal Revenue Service and the Utah
State Tax Commission with respect to certain tax liabilities. However, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to service our payment obligations. If we
are unable to meet our payment obligations, the Internal Revenue Service and the
Utah State Tax Commission could instigate proceedings against us, including
foreclosure proceedings, pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of
those two entities.
We are involved in numerous legal proceedings that may give rise to significant
liabilities, which could impair our ability to continue as a going concern.
We are involved in legal proceedings, several of which involve lawsuits filed
against us. As discussed in the "Legal Proceedings" section, we are currently
attempting to negotiate with each of these claimants to settle the claims
against CirTran, although in many cases, we have not yet reached final
settlements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in those
negotiations or that, if successful, we will be able to service any payment
obligations which may result from such settlements.
There is substantial risk, therefore, that the existence and extent of these
liabilities could adversely affect our business, operations and financial
condition, and we may be forced to curtail our operations, sell part or all of
our assets, or seek protection under bankruptcy laws. Additionally, there is
substantial risk that our vendors could expand their collection efforts to
collect the unpaid amounts. If they undertake significant collection efforts,
and if we are unable to negotiate settlements or satisfy our obligations, we
could be forced into bankruptcy.
We are dependent on the continued services of our President and other officers,
and the untimely death or disability of Iehab Hawatmeh could have a serious
adverse effect upon our company.
We view the continued services of our president, Iehab Hawatmeh, and our other
officers as critical to the success of our company. Though we have employment
agreements with Mr. Iehab Hawatmeh, Mr. Trevor Saliba, and Mr. Shaher Hawatmeh
(see "Executive Compensation"), and a key-man life insurance policy for Mr.
Iehab Hawatmeh, the untimely death or disability of Mr. Hawatmeh could have a
serious adverse affect on our operations.
Our international business activities subject us to risks that could adversely
affect our business.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, sales of products manufactured in the
United States accounted for 24.7 percent of our total net revenues, and sales of
products manufactured in China accounted for 75.3 percent of our total net
revenues. Our sales of our products manufactured internationally have increased,
and now represents a larger percentage of our sales. As a result, we are subject
to the risks inherent in international operations. Our international business
activities could be affected, limited, or disrupted by a variety of factors,
including:
o the imposition of or changes in governmental controls, taxes,
tariffs, trade restrictions and regulatory requirements;
o the costs and risks of localizing products for foreign
countries;
o longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
o changes in the value of local currencies relative to our
functional currency;
8
o import and export restrictions;
o loss of tax benefits due to international production;
o general economic and social conditions within foreign
countries;
o taxation in multiple jurisdictions; and/or
o political instability, war or terrorism.
All of these factors could harm future sales of our products to international
customers or future production outside of the United States of our products, and
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
We may continue to expand our operations in international markets. Our failure
to effectively manage our international operations could harm our business.
Entering new international markets, including our recent entry into China with
CirTran-Asia, may require significant management attention and expenditures and
could adversely affect our operating margins and earnings. To date, we have only
recently begun to penetrate international markets. To the extent that we are
unable to do so, our growth in international markets would be limited, and our
business could be harmed.
We expect that our international business operations will be subject to a number
of material risks, including, but not limited to:
o difficulties in managing foreign sales channels;
o difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting
receivables through foreign legal systems and addressing other
legal issues;
o longer payment cycles;
o taxation issues;
o differences in international telecommunications standards and
regulatory agencies;
o product requirements different from those of our current
customers;
o fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies; and
o unexpected domestic and international regulatory, economic or
political changes.
A combination of any or all of these risks could have a material adverse impact
both on our international business, and on our core business operations in the
United States.
We are dependent on the continued services of Charles Ho, the President of our
CirTran-Asia subsidiary, and the untimely death or disability of Mr. Ho could
have a serious adverse effect upon our subsidiary and company.
We view the continued services of Charles Ho, the president of our CirTran-Asia
subsidiary, as critical to the success of that subsidiary. Though we have an
employment agreement with Mr. Ho (see "Executive Compensation"), we have no
key-man life insurance policy for Mr. Ho. The untimely death or disability of
Mr. Ho could have a serious adverse affect on our international operations and
our operations overall.
9
Risks Related to Our Industry
The variability of customer requirements in the electronics industry could
adversely affect our results of operations.
Electronic manufacturing service providers must provide increasingly rapid
turnaround time for their OEM customers. We do not obtain firm, long-term
purchase commitments from our customers and have experienced a demand for
reduced lead-times in customer orders. Our customers may cancel their orders,
change production quantities or delay design and production for several factors.
Cancellations, reductions or delays by a customer or group of customers could
adversely affect our results of operations. Additional factors that affect the
electronics industry and that could have a material adverse effect on our
business include the inability of our customers to adapt to rapidly changing
technology and evolving industry standards and the inability of our customers to
develop and market their products. If our customers' products become obsolete or
fail to gain commercial acceptance, our results of operations may be materially
and adversely affected, which could make it difficult for us to continue as a
going concern.
Our customer mix and base fluctuates significantly, and responding to these
fluctuations could cause us to lose business or have delayed revenues, which
could have a material adverse impact on our business.
A percentage of our revenue is generated from our contract manufacturing
services. Our customers include electronics, telecommunications, networking,
automotive, gaming, exercise equipment, and medical device OEMs that contract
with us for the manufacture of specified quantities of products at a particular
price and during a relatively short period of time. As a result, the mix and
number of our clients varies significantly from time to time. Responding to the
fluctuations and variations in the mix and number of our clients can cause
significant time delays in the operation of our business and the realization of
revenues from our clients. These delays could have a material adverse impact on
our business.
Our industry is subject to rapid technological change. If we are not able to
adequately respond to changes, our services may become obsolete or less
competitive and our operating results may suffer.
We may not be able to effectively respond to the technological requirements of a
changing market, including the need for substantial additional capital
expenditures that may be required as a result of these changes. The electronics
manufacturing services industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology
and continuing process development. The future success of our business will
depend in large part upon our ability to maintain and enhance our technological
capabilities and successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes on
a cost-effective and timely basis. In addition, our industry could in the future
encounter competition from new or revised technologies that render existing
technology less competitive or obsolete. If we are unable to respond adequately
to such changes, our business operations could be adversely impacted, which
could make it difficult for us to continue as a going concern.
There may be shortages of required components which could cause us to curtail
our manufacturing or incur higher than expected costs.
Component shortages or price fluctuations in such components could have an
adverse effect on our results of operations. We purchase the components we use
in producing circuit board assemblies and other electronic manufacturing
services and we may be required to bear the risk of component price
fluctuations. In addition, shortages of electronic components have occurred in
the past and may occur in the future. These shortages and price fluctuations
could potentially have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Risks Related to the Offering
10
Holders of CirTran common stock are subject to the risk of additional and
substantial dilution to their interests as a result of the issuances of common
stock in connection with the Convertible Debenture.
The following table describes the number of shares of common stock that would be
issuable, assuming that the full principal amount of the Convertible Debenture
(excluding any interest accrued) was converted into shares of our common stock,
irrespective of the availability of registered shares and any conversion
limitations contained in the Convertible Debenture, and further assuming that
the applicable conversion or exercise prices at the time of such conversion or
exercise were the following amounts:
Hypothetical Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of
Price $3,750,000 Principal Amount of Convertible
Debenture
$0.01 375,000,000
$0.02 187,500,000
$0.03 125,000,000
$0.04 93,750,000
$0.05 75,000,000
$0.10 37,500,000
$0.15 25,000,000
$0.25 15,000,000
$0.50 7,500,000
Given the formula for calculating the shares to be issued in connection with
conversions of the Convertible Debenture, there effectively is no limitation on
the number of shares of common stock which may be issued in connection with
conversions of the Convertible Debenture, except for the number of shares
registered under prospectuses and related registration statements. As such,
holders of our common stock may experience substantial dilution of their
interests to the extent that Highgate converts amounts under the Convertible
Debenture.
Our issuances of shares in connection with conversions of the Convertible
Debenture likely will result in overall dilution to market value and relative
voting power of previously issued common stock, which could result in
substantial dilution to the value of shares held by shareholders prior to sales
under this prospectus.
The issuance of common stock in connection with conversions of the Convertible
Debenture by Highgate may result in substantial dilution to the equity interests
of holders of CirTran common stock other than Highgate. Specifically, the
issuance of a significant amount of additional common stock will result in a
decrease of the relative voting control of our common stock issued and
outstanding prior to the issuance of common stock in connection with conversions
of the Convertible Debenture. Furthermore, public resales of our common stock by
Highgate following the issuance of common stock in connection with conversions
of the Convertible Debenture likely will depress the prevailing market price of
our common stock. Even prior to the time of actual conversions and public
resales, the market "overhang" resulting from the mere existence of our
obligation to honor such conversions or exercises could depress the market price
of our common stock.
Existing shareholders likely will experience increased dilution with decreases
in market value of common stock in relation to our issuances of shares in
connection with the Convertible Debenture, which could have a material adverse
impact on the value of their shares.
The formula for determining the number of shares of common stock to be issued in
connection with conversions of the Convertible Debenture is based, in part, on
the market price of the common stock and are equal to the lower of $0.10 per
share or the lowest closing bid price of our common stock over the twenty
trading days after the conversion notice is tendered by us to Highgate. As a
result, the lower the market price of our common stock at and around the time we

issue shares to Highgate in connection with the Convertible Debenture, the more
shares of our common stock Highgate will receive. Any increase in the number of
shares of our common stock issued upon puts of shares as a result of decreases
in the prevailing market price would compound the risks of dilution described in
the preceding paragraphs.
Highgate will experience immediate and substantial dilution to its holdings as a
result of the issuances of common stock in connection with the Convertible
Debenture.
The potential increase in stockholders' equity if Highgate converted the entire
Convertible Debenture could potentially exceed our net tangible book value of
$2,151,136 at June 30, 2005. Accordingly, Highgate will experience immediate and
substantial dilution between approximately $0.0039 to $0.4901 per share, or
approximately 39.43% to 98.02% of the estimated average conversion price of
$0.01 to $0.50 per share. The dilution at various estimated average conversion
prices is as follows:
Average Conversion Price
Estimated Dilution Per Share Percent Dilution Per Share
$0.01 (1) $0.0039 39.43%
$0.02 (1) $0.0124 62.24%
$0.03 (1) $0.0218 72.57%
$0.04 $0.0314 78.46%
$0.05 $0.0411 82.27%
$0.10 $0.0906 90.59%
$0.15 $0.1404 93.60%
$0.25 $0.2402 96.09%
$0.50 $0.4901 98.02%
(1) At this conversion price, the Company would be required to register
additional shares to convert the entire amount of the Convertible Debenture to
shares of common stock.
There is an increased potential for short sales of our common stock due to the
sales of shares issued to Highgate in connection with the Convertible Debenture,
which could materially effect the market price of our stock.
Downward pressure on the market price of our common stock that likely will
result from sales of our common stock by Highgate issued in connection with
conversions of the Convertible Debenture, could encourage short sales of common
stock by Highgate. A "short sale" is defined as the sale of stock by an investor
that the investor does not own. Typically, investors who sell short believe that
the price of the stock will fall, and anticipate selling at a price higher than
the price at which they will buy the stock. Significant amounts of such short
selling could place further downward pressure on the market price of our common
stock.
The restrictions on the number of shares issued upon conversion of the
Convertible Debenture may have little if any effect on the adverse impact of our
issuance of shares in connection with the Convertible Debenture, and as such,
Highgate may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial dilution to
the value of shares held by our existing shareholders.
Highgate is prohibited, except in certain circumstances, from converting amounts
of the Convertible Debenture to the extent that the issuance of shares would
cause Highgate to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our then outstanding
common stock. These restrictions, however, do not prevent Highgate from selling
shares of common stock received in connection with a conversion, and then
receiving additional shares of common stock in connection with a subsequent
conversion. In this way, Highgate could sell more than 4.99% of the outstanding
common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than
4.99% at one time.
12
The trading market for our common stock is limited, and investors who purchase
shares from Highgate may have difficulty selling their shares.
The public trading market for our common stock is limited. On July 15, 2002, our
common stock was listed on the OTC Bulletin Board. Nevertheless, an established
public trading market for our common stock may never develop or, if developed,
it may not be able to be sustained. The OTCBB is an unorganized, inter-dealer,
over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than other
markets. Purchasers of our common stock therefore may have difficulty selling
their shares should they desire to do so.
It may be more difficult for us to raise funds in subsequent stock offerings as
a result of the sales of our common stock by Highgate in this offering.
As noted above, sales by Highgate likely will result in substantial dilution to
the holdings and interest of current and new shareholders. Additionally, as
noted above, the volume of shares sold by Highgate could depress the market
price of our stock. These factors could make it more difficult for us to raise
additional capital through subsequent offerings of our common stock, which could
have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our common stock is considered a penny stock. Penny stocks are subject to
special regulations, which may make them more difficult to trade on the open
market.
Securities in the OTC market are generally more difficult to trade than those on
the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the major stock
exchanges. In addition, accurate price quotations are also more difficult to
obtain. The trading market for our common stock is subject to special
regulations governing the sale of penny stock.
A "penny stock," is defined by regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an equity security with a market price of less than $5.00 per
share. However, an equity security with a market price under $5.00 will not be
considered a penny stock if it fits within any of the following exceptions:
o the equity security is listed on Nasdaq or a national
securities exchange;
o the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous
operation for less than three years, and either has (a) net
tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, or (b) average annual
revenue of at least $6,000,000; or
o the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous
operation for more than three years, and has net tangible
assets of at least $2,000,000.
If you buy or sell a penny stock, these regulations require that you receive,
prior to the transaction, a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and
associated risks. Furthermore, trading in our common stock would be subject to
Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which relates to non-Nasdaq and non-exchange
listed securities. Under this rule, broker-dealers who recommend our securities
to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a
special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are
exempt from this rule if their market price is at least $5.00 per share.
Penny stock regulations will tend to reduce market liquidity of our common
stock, because they limit the broker-dealers' ability to trade, and a
purchaser's ability to sell the stock in the secondary market. The low price of
our common stock will have a negative effect on the amount and percentage of
transaction costs paid by individual shareholders. The low price of our common
stock may also limit our ability to raise additional capital by issuing
additional shares. There are several reasons for these effects. First, the
internal policies of many institutional investors prohibit the purchase of
low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks
13
to be used as collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin.
Third, some brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual
brokers from dealing in low-priced stocks. Finally, broker's commissions on
low-priced stocks usually represent a higher percentage of the stock price than
commissions on higher priced stocks. As a result, our shareholders will pay
transaction costs that are a higher percentage of their total share value than
if our share price were substantially higher.
The price of our common stock is volatile, and an investor may not be able to
resell our shares at or above the purchase price.
In recent years, the stock market in general, and the OTC Bulletin Board and the
securities of technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price
and trading volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These
broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect our stock price,
regardless of operating results.
There may be additional unknown risks which could have a negative effect on us
and our business.
The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only ones
facing CirTran. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or
that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If
any of the foregoing risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the
trading price of our common stock could decline.
Use of Proceeds
All of the shares of common stock issued in connection with conversions of the
Convertible Debenture, if and when sold, are being offered and sold by the
Highgate as the Selling Shareholder or its pledgees, donnees, transferees, or
other successors in interest. We will not receive any proceeds from those sales.
Under the Convertible Debenture and related purchase agreement, we used
$2,265,000 to repay two promissory notes to Cornell Capital Partners, LP
("Cornell"), one in the amount of $1,700,000, and the other in the amount of
$565,000.
We also paid a commitment fee of $240,765, a structuring fee of $10,000 to
Highgate, and legal fees of $5,668. As such, of the total purchase amount of
$3,750,000, the net proceeds to us were $1,228,566. We intend to use these
proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, at our discretion.
As discussed below in the section "MET Advisors Agreement," we presently have no
acquisitions pending or anticipated. Nevertheless, we will continue to review
potential acquisition candidates as they arise, and we may choose to use the
proceeds of the sale of the Convertible Debenture in connection with future
acquisitions.
Determination of Offering Price
The Selling Shareholders may sell our common stock at prices then prevailing or
related to the then current market price, or at negotiated prices. The offering
price may have no relationship to any established criteria or value, such as
book value or earnings per share. Additionally, because we have not generated
any profits for several years, the price of our common stock is not based on
past earnings, nor is the price of the shares of our common stock indicative of
current market value for the assets we own. No valuation or appraisal has been
prepared for our business or possible business expansion.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
We provide a mixture of high and medium size volume turnkey manufacturing
14
services using surface mount technology, ball-grid array assembly,
pin-through-hole and custom injection molded cabling for leading electronics
OEMs in the communications, networking, peripherals, gaming, law enforcement,
consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical, and semiconductor
industries. Our services include pre-manufacturing, manufacturing and
post-manufacturing services. Through our subsidiary, Racore Technology
Corporation, we design and manufacture Ethernet technology products. Our goal is
to offer customers the significant competitive advantages that can be obtained
from manufacture outsourcing, such as access to advanced manufacturing
technologies, shortened product time-to-market, reduced cost of production, more
effective asset utilization, improved inventory management, and increased
purchasing power.
During 2004, we established a new division, CirTran-Asia, Inc, which has
contributed to a large portion of the increase in revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005. This new division is
an Asian-based, wholly owned subsidiary of CirTran Corporation and provides a
myriad of manufacturing services to the direct response and retail consumer
markets. Our experience and expertise in manufacturing enables CirTran-Asia to
enter a project at any phase: engineering and design, product development and
prototyping, tooling, and high-volume manufacturing.
CirTran has established a dedicated satellite office for CirTran-Asia, and has
retained Mr. Charles Ho to lead the new division. Having proven the value and
reliability of its core products, CirTran Corporation has chosen to expand into
previously untapped product lines. CirTran-Asia will pursue manufacturing
relationships beyond printed circuit board assemblies, cables, harnesses and
injection molding systems by establishing complete "box-build" or "turn-key"
relationships in the electronics, retail, and direct consumer markets.
We have been preparing since 2003 for this strategic move into the Asian market.
Management anticipates that this new division will elevate CirTran to an
international contract manufacturer status for multiple products in a wide
variety of industries, and will, in short order, allow us to target large-scale
contracts. We anticipate that our new clients will be leading manufacturing and
marketing firms in the retail and direct consumer markets.
Information relating to developments in our increasing line of fitness
products is as follows:
On June 7, 2004, we announced that CirTran-Asia had received an initial
purchase order on May 26, 2004, relating to the manufacture of 80,000 abdominal
fitness machines. This order was the first order placed with CirTran-Asia under
the exclusive manufacturing agreement. Subsequently, on June 14, 2004, we
received another order for 80,000 units of the abdominal fitness machines, which
was announced on June 16, 2004, through a separate press release. Since these
announcements, CirTran-Asia has manufactured, shipped, and received payments of
approximately $5,546,000. On August 13, 2004, we also announced that on August
11, 2004 we had received new orders for Wal-Mart. The company shipped to
Wal-Mart the complete order of abdominal fitness machines and received payments
of approximately $400,000 through the date of this Report. The units were
distributed to Wal-Mart stores throughout Canada.
On September 9, 2004, we announced that on September 6, 2004,
CirTran-Asia had been awarded the rights to manufacture a new abdominal fitness
machine under the exclusive manufacturing agreement. This new product is another
type of abdominal fitness machine. Since this announcement, and through the date
of this Report, CirTran-Asia had manufactured and shipped units, and received

payments of approximately $580,000.
On September 30, 2004, we announced that on September 23, 2004,
CirTran-Asia had been awarded the rights to manufacture a pilates fitness
machine under the exclusive manufacturing agreement. Since this announcement,
and through the date of this Report, CirTran-Asia had manufactured and shipped
units, and received payments of approximately $85,000.
On April 28, 2005, CirTran-Asia announced that it has been awarded a
$30 million contract to be the exclusive manufacturer of a new fitness machine
for the sold-on-TV direct response industry. Since then, we have received orders
totaling approximately $700,000 and had expected to complete the shipment of
those orders before the end of June 2005. The contract was extended at the
customer's request to be weekly shipments. Since these announcements,
CirTran-Asia has manufactured and shipped approximately $260,000 worth of these
units.
Information relating to recent developments in new products under
development along with procuring new products for development is as follows:
On August 11, 2004, we announced that CirTran-Asia received a purchase
order on August 10, 2004 relating to the manufacture of a household cooking
appliance for hot dogs and sausages. Since these announcements, and through the
date of this Report, CirTran-Asia had manufactured and shipped units, and
received payments of approximately $775,000.
On October 1, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Transactional
Marketing Partners, Inc. ("TMP"), for consulting services. Pursuant to the
agreement, we engaged TMP to provide strategic planning and for introduction of
new business to us. Under the agreement, we agreed to pay to TMP a fee of ten
percent of the net proceeds received by us from business brought to us by TMP.
The fee is to be paid within 15 calendar days following the end of the month in
which we receive the net proceeds. Additionally, we agreed to pay $7,500 during
each of the first six months of the term of the agreement, with such payments
being viewed as an advance against the fee to be earned. The advance payments
are not refundable, but will be deducted from fees earned by TMP. The agreement
has an initial term of six months, beginning October 1, 2004, and can be
automatically extended for successive six-month periods unless either party
gives written notice at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the term of the
agreement of its intent not to renew. Additionally, we may terminate the
agreement at any time by giving 30 days written notice. In March 2005, we
extended our agreement to an additional 6 months that will expire in early
September 2005. The parties will evaluate the relationship at that time and
decide if there needs to be another extension. To date the relationship has
proven successful, resulting in multiple new manufacturing relationships.
On January 19, 2005, CirTran Corporation signed an Exclusive
Manufacturing Agreement with a company relating to the manufacture of a hair
product in California. Since these announcements, CirTran-Asia has manufactured
and shipped approximately $2,398,000 worth of units of the hair care products.
On July 7, 2005, CirTran Corporation signed an Exclusive Manufacturing
Agreement with a company relating to the manufacture of additional hair product
in California. We have already begun shipment on previous contracts and are
projecting to begin shipping the first shipment of the second hair care product
contract in the third quarter of 2005.

Industry Background
The contract manufacturing industry specializes in providing the program
management, technical and administrative support and manufacturing expertise
required to take products from the early design and prototype stages through
volume production and distribution. The goal is to provide a quality product,
delivered on time and at the lowest cost, to the client. This full range of
services gives the client an opportunity to avoid large capital investments in
plant, inventory, equipment and staffing and to concentrate instead on
innovation, design and marketing. By using our contract manufacturing services,
our customers have the ability to improve the return on their investment with
greater flexibility in responding to market demands and exploiting new market
opportunities.
We believe two important trends have developed in the contract manufacturing
industry. First, we believe customers increasingly require contract
manufacturers to provide complete turnkey manufacturing and material handling
services, rather than working on a consignment basis where the customer supplies
all materials and the contract manufacturer supplies only labor. Turnkey
contracts involve design, manufacturing and engineering support, the procurement
of all materials, and sophisticated in-circuit and functional testing and
distribution. The manufacturing partnership between customers and contract
manufacturers involves an increased use of "just-in-time" inventory management
17
techniques that minimize the customer's investment in component inventories,
personnel and related facilities, thereby reducing costs.
We believe a second trend in the industry, that relates to our electronics
division, has been the increasing shift from pin-through-hole, or PTH, to
surface mount technology, or SMT, interconnection technologies. Surface mount
and pin-through-hole printed circuit board assemblies are printed circuit boards
on which various electronic components, such as integrated circuits, capacitors,
microprocessors and resistors are mounted. These assemblies are key functional
elements of many types of electronic products. PTH technology involves the
attachment of electronic components to printed circuit boards with leads or pins
that are inserted into pre-drilled holes in the boards. The pins are then
soldered to the electronic circuits. The drive for increasingly greater
functional density has resulted in the emergence of SMT, which eliminates the
need for holes and allows components to be placed on both sides of a printed
circuit. SMT requires expensive, highly automated assembly equipment and
significantly more operational expertise than PTH technology. We believe the
shift to SMT from PTH technology has increased the use of contract manufacturers
by OEMs seeking to avoid the significant capital investment required for
development and maintenance of SMT expertise.
Electronics Assembly and Manufacture
At year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 38% of our revenues were
generated by our low-volume electronics assembly activities, which consist
primarily of the placement and attachment of electronic and mechanical
components on printed circuit boards and flexible (i.e., bendable) cables. We
also assemble higher-level sub-systems and systems incorporating printed circuit
boards and complex electromechanical components that convert electrical energy
to mechanical energy, in some cases manufacturing and packaging products for
shipment directly to our customers' distributors. In addition, we provide other
manufacturing services, including refurbishment and remanufacturing. We
manufacture on a turnkey basis, directly procuring any of the components
necessary for production where the OEM customer does not supply all of the
components that are required for assembly. We also provide design and new
product introduction services, just-in-time delivery on low to medium volume
turnkey and consignment projects and projects that require more value-added
services, and price-sensitive, high-volume production. Our goal is to offer
customers significant competitive advantages that can be obtained from
manufacturing outsourcing, such as access to advanced manufacturing
technologies, shortened product time-to-market, reduced cost of production, more
effective asset utilization, improved inventory management and increased
purchasing power.
As part of our electronics assembly and manufacture focus, in April 2004, we
entered into a Preferred Manufacturing Agreement with Broadata Communications,
Inc. ("Broadata"). Under this agreement, we will perform exclusive "turn-key"
manufacturing services handling most of Broadata's manufacturing operations from
material procurement to complete finished box-build. Beginning in May 2005, we
will be handling all of Broadata's manufacturing operations from material
procurement to complete finished box-build. The initial term of the agreement is
three years, continuing month to month thereafter unless terminated by either
party.
Ethernet Technology
Through our subsidiary, Racore Technology Corporation ("Racore"), we design,
manufacture, and distribute Ethernet cards. These components are used to connect
computers through fiber optic networks. In addition, we produce private label,
custom designed networking products and technologies on an OEM basis. Our
products serve major industrial, financial, and telecommunications companies
worldwide. We market our products through an international network of
distributors, value added resellers, and systems integrators who sell, install,
and support our entire product catalogue.
Additionally, we have established, and continue to seek to establish, key
business alliances with major multinational companies in the computing and data
communications industries for which we produce private label, custom designed
networking products and technologies on an OEM basis. These alliances generally
require that Racore either develop custom products or adapt existing Racore
products to become part of the OEM customer's product line. Under a typical
18
contract, Racore provides a product with the customer's logo, packaging,
documentation, and custom software and drivers to allow the product to appear
unique and proprietary to the OEM customer. Contract terms generally provide for
a non-recurring engineering charge for the development and customization
charges, together with a contractual commitment for a specific quantity of
product over a given term.
Contract Manufacturing
Through our subsidiary, CirTran-Asia, we design, engineer, manufacture and
supply (DEMS) a myriad of products in the electronics, consumer products and
general merchandise industries for various marketers, distributors and national
retailers.
Market and Business Strategy
Our goal is to benefit from the increased market acceptance of, and reliance
upon, the use of manufacturing specialists by many OEMs, marketing firms,
distributors and national retailers. We believe the trend towards outsourcing
manufacturing will continue. OEMs utilize manufacturing specialists for many
reasons, including the following:
o To Reduce Time to Market. Due to intense competitive pressures
in the electronics and general manufacturing industry, OEMs are faced with
increasingly shorter product life-cycles and, therefore, have a growing need to
reduce the time required to bring a product to market. We believe OEMs can
reduce their time to market by using a manufacturing specialist's manufacturing
expertise and infrastructure.
o To Reduce Investment. The investment required for internal
manufacturing has increased significantly as products have become more
technologically advanced and are shipped in greater unit volumes. We believe use
of manufacturing specialists allows OEMs to gain access to advanced
manufacturing capabilities while substantially reducing their overall resource
requirements.
o To Focus Resources. Because the electronics industry is
experiencing greater levels of competition and more rapid technological change,
many OEMs are focusing their resources on activities and technologies which add
the greatest value to their operations. By offering comprehensive electronics
assembly and related manufacturing services, we believe manufacturing
specialists allow OEMs to focus on their own core competencies such as product
development and marketing.
o To Access Leading Manufacturing Technology. Electronic
products and electronics manufacturing technology have become increasingly
sophisticated and complex, making it difficult for OEMs to maintain the
necessary technological expertise to manufacture products internally. We believe
OEMs are motivated to work with a manufacturing specialist to gain access to the
specialist's expertise in interconnect, test and process technologies.
o To Improve Inventory Management and Purchasing Power.
Electronics industry OEMs are faced with increasing difficulties in planning,
procuring and managing their inventories efficiently due to frequent design
changes, short product life-cycles, large required investments in electronic
components, component price fluctuations and the need to achieve economies of
scale in materials procurement. OEMs can reduce production costs by using a
manufacturing specialist's volume procurement capabilities. In addition, a
manufacturing specialist's expertise in inventory management can provide better
control over inventory levels and increase the OEM's return on assets.
An important element of our strategy is to establish partnerships with major and
emerging OEM leaders in diverse segments across the electronics industry. Due to
the costs inherent in supporting customer relationships, we focus our efforts on
customers with which the opportunity exists to develop long-term business
partnerships. Our goal is to provide our customers with total manufacturing
19
solutions for both new and more mature products, as well as across product
generations.
Another element of our strategy is to provide a complete range of manufacturing
management and value-added services, including materials management, board
design, concurrent engineering, assembly of complex printed circuit boards and
other electronic assemblies, test engineering, software manufacturing, accessory
packaging and post-manufacturing services. We believe that as manufacturing
technologies become more complex and as product life cycles shorten, OEMs will
increasingly contract for manufacturing on a turnkey basis as they seek to
reduce their time to market and capital asset and inventory costs. We believe
that the ability to manage and support large turnkey projects is a critical
success factor and a significant barrier to entry for the market it serves. In
addition, we believe that due to the difficulty and long lead-time required to
change manufacturers, turnkey projects generally increase an OEM's dependence on
its manufacturing specialist, which can result in a more stable customer base.
In our high volume electronics, consumer products, and general merchandise
manufacturing divisions, we believe we add value by providing turn-key solutions
in design, engineering, manufacturing and supply of products to our clients.
Suppliers; Raw Materials
Our sources of components for our electronics assembly business are either
manufacturers or distributors of electronic components. These components include
passive components, such as resisters, capacitors and diodes, and active
components, such as integrated circuits and semi-conductors. Our suppliers
include Siemens, Muriata-Erie, Texas Instruments, Fairchild, Harris and
Motorola. Distributors from whom we obtain materials include Avnet, Future
Electronics, Digi-key and Force Electronics. Although we have experienced
shortages of various components used in our assembly and manufacturing
processes, we typically hedge against such shortages by using a variety of
sources and, to the extent possible, by projecting our customer's needs.
Research and Development
During 2004 and 2003, CirTran Corporation spent approximately $75,000 and
$52,200, respectively, on research and development of new products and services.
The costs of that research and development were paid for by our customers. In
addition, during the same periods, our subsidiary, Racore, spent approximately
$42,536 and $45,244, respectively. None of Racore's expenses were paid for by
its customers. We remain committed, particularly in the case of Racore, to
continuing to develop and enhance our product line as part of our overall
business strategy.
Beginning in 2004, Racore started working more aggressively on marketing
existing products by simplifying ordering and sales processing to existing
customers. We are also working towards some cost reduced versions of existing
product line and adding new sales channels. We are also in the process of
expanding the current product line, adding new product categories to existing
sales channels, along with products with reduced development costs, quicker time
to market, higher profit margins, greatly reduced support costs, less pressure
from competitors and shorter sales cycles. We are currently developing one new
product that is unique in the market and one new product that will provide us
with a more complete product line.
In the coming months, we anticipate that Racore will introduce several new
products that will include not only cost reduced versions of existing products,
but also similar yet unique products that will satisfy market needs which
currently have no deliverable or affordable solutions. These products will
realize reduced development costs, quicker time to market, higher profit
margins, greatly reduced support costs, less pressure from competitors, and
shorter sales and delivery cycles. These products will leverage our expertise in
the areas of fiber optics, security, and portability.
20
We possess advanced design and engineering capabilities with experienced
professional staffs at both our Salt Lake City and ShenZhen offices for
electrical, software, mechanical and industrial design. This provides the end
client a total solution for original design, re-design and final design of
products.
Sales and Marketing
During 2004, we increased our internal sales staff as well as continued to
pursue sales representative relationships with firms that work as independent
contractors in generating new business. This is advantageous to the company, as
it provides the company with a broad sales network with no direct cost. It is
our intention to continue pursuing sales representative relationships as well as
internal salaried sales executives. The company is considering establishing a
dedicated satellite sales/engineering office in Los Angeles to headquarter all
business development activities companywide.
We are working aggressively to market existing products through current sales
channels. We will also add major new conduits to deliver products and services
directly to end users, as well as motivate our distributors, partners, and other
third party sales mechanisms. We continue to simplify and improve the sales,
order, and delivery process.
Historically, we have had substantial recurring sales from existing customers,
though we continue to seek out new customers to generate increased sales. We
treat sales and marketing as an integrated process involving direct salespersons
and project managers, as well as senior executives. We also use independent
sales representatives in certain geographic areas. We have also engaged
strategic consulting groups to make strategic introductions to generate new
business. This strategy has proven successful, and has already generated
multiple manufacturing contracts.
During the typical sales process, a customer provides us with specifications for
the product it wants, and we develop a bid price for manufacturing a minimum
quantity that includes manufacture engineering, parts, labor, testing, and
shipping. If the bid is accepted, the customer is required to purchase the
minimum quantity and additional product is sold through purchase orders issued
under the original contract. Special engineering services are provided at either
an hourly rate or at a fixed contract price for a specified task.
In 2004, due to our new contract manufacturing division, only 20% of our net
sales were derived from pre-existing customers, whereas during the year ended
December 31, 2003, over 96% of our net sales were derived from customers that
were also customers during 2002. In 2004 80% of our sales were derived from new
business, with the majority of those sales being secured by exclusive
manufacturing contracts. This trend should continue into 2006 and 2007.
Historically, a small number of customers accounted for a significant portion of
our electronics assembly and manufacture division net sales. In 2004, our three
largest customers accounted for approximately 55% of our total sales in the
electronics assembly and manufacture division, compared to 2003 where our three
largest customers accounted for approximately 60% of our total sales.
Our expansion into China manufacturing has allowed us to increase our sales,
manufacturing capacity and output with minimal capital investment required. By
using subcontractors we make strategic investments in Asian manufacturing
facilities capitalizing tooling, molds, equipment etc. in exchange for dedicated
manufacturing responsiveness hence eliminating the costly expense associated
with capitalizing complete proprietary facilities.
Backlog consists of contracts or purchase orders with delivery dates scheduled
within the next twelve months. As of September 21, 2005, our backlog was
approximately $4,200,000 with confirmed deliveries and a total of $80,000,000 of
signed contracts for blanket quantities.
In February 2003, we issued a press release relating to our receiving
Certification Approval under the Joint Certification Program ("JCP") from the
United States/Canada Joint Certification Office, Defense Logistics Information
Service. This is an important recognition for CirTran and is consistent with our
efforts to expand our revenue opportunities. Our approved access to technologies
21
in the U.S. Department of Defense and the Canadian Department of National
Defense will allow us to support the commercial activities of the broad range of
manufacturers working with the U.S. and Canadian governments. We continue to
receive proposals on products to manufacture and were able to build products for
Hill Air Force Base.
In January and March 2004, we issued two press releases relating to our entering
into a Letter of Intent to purchase all the assets of a leading Contract
Electronics Manufacturer (CEM) of printed circuit board assemblies based in
Orange County, California. In March 2004, the Letter of Intent expired by its
terms and we did not pursue the transaction.
In March 2004, we issued two press releases relating to our signing a Letter of
Intent (LOI) to acquire a minority ownership interest in a leading manufacturer
in the Digital Fiber Optic Cable Communications firm based in Southern
California." That Letter of Intent expired and was not renewed.
In December of 2004, we issued a press release relating to our hiring of Mr.
Patrick L. Gerrard Sr. as a director of our corporate Quality Control Systems.
We also announced that we had received an order for the United States Air Force.
The products were built and shipped to them.
Management has continued its internal plan for increasing sales, reducing costs
and restructuring the overall financial condition. As part of this strategy,
sales for the company in 2004 were greater than sales in 2003, and the company
reached an offer in compromise with the Internal Revenue Service and State of
Utah settling most outstanding tax liabilities.
The year 2004 was a critical year for CirTran Corporation. The most significant
event for CirTran in 2004 was the acceptance of the offer in compromise by the
Internal Revenue Service settlement of the Company's prior tax obligation. This
has been a top priority for management and the board of directors as the
Company's viability was in question. With this new milestone, management feels
the Company is financially stable and in position to continue its plan to grow.
In addition, our effort to enter high-volume manufacturing in the electronics,
consumer products and general merchandise industries has had a dramatic impact
to the Company's sales and backlog. Also, management's constant pursuit of
establishing the Company as a world-class manufacturer was recognized with the
Company receiving ISO9001:2000 certification on March 31, 2005. This is an
international monitoring agency that requires all companies who are certified to
comply with a set standard of policies on quality and manufacturing.
Material Contracts and Relationships
We generally use form agreements with standard industry terms as the basis for
our contracts with our customers. The form agreements typically specify the
general terms of our economic arrangement with the customer (number of units to
be manufactured, price per unit and delivery schedule) and contain additional
provisions that are generally accepted in the industry regarding payment terms,
risk of loss and other matters. We also use a form agreement with our
independent marketing representatives that features standard terms typically
found in such agreements.
Cogent Agreement
On September 14, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Cogent Capital Corp.
("Cogent"), under which we engaged Cogent to provide strategic planning and
advisory services relating to acquisitions and with a view to obtaining a
listing on either the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ. In a September 2003
press release, we mentioned that Cogent was assisting us in connection with a
proposed direct investment in CirTran, but that transaction was not closed. We
continue to work with Cogent, and they continue to provide strategic planning
and advice.
22
MET Advisors Agreement
In August 2003, we entered into an agreement with MET Advisors ("MET") under
which we retained MET to identify and provide detailed information on potential
acquisition targets. Pursuant to the MET agreement, we agreed to pay MET a
transaction fee equal to 5% of the total value of the transaction (but not less
than $100,000), together with expenses incurred by MET in connection with the
potential acquisition.
In January and March 2004, we issued press releases relating to a new agreement
with a contract electronics manufacturer. The January 21, 2004, press release
stated that we had entered into a Letter of Intent to purchase all the assets of
a leading contract electronics manufacturer of printed circuit board assemblies
based in Orange County, California. The March 2, 2004 press release was issued
to give an update on the due diligence process. However, the letter of intent
expired on March 5, 2004, and no agreement was reached regarding an extension.
We have decided not to pursue further negotiations relating to this matter.
In March 2004, we issued two additional press releases relating to a our
potential acquisition of an interest in a manufacturer of digital fiber optic
cable equipment. On March 18, 2004, we announced that we had signed a letter of
intent to acquire a minority interest in a manufacturer based in southern
California, and that in connection with the acquisition, we anticipated that we
would enter into an exclusive manufacturing agreement. On March 26, 2004, we
announced that we anticipated that we expected to finalize the acquisition of
the interest and the exclusive agreement. On April 13, 2004, we entered into a
stock purchase agreement with Broadata Communications, Inc., a California
corporation ("Broadata") under which we purchased 400,000 shares of Broadata
Series B Preferred Stock (the "Broadata Preferred Shares") for an aggregate
purchase price of $300,000. The Broadata Preferred Shares are convertible, at
our option, into an equivalent number of shares of Broadata common stock,
subject to adjustment. The Broadata Preferred Shares are not redeemable by
Broadata. As a holder of the Broadata Preferred Shares, we have the right to
vote the number of shares of Broadata common stock into which the Broadata
Preferred Shares are convertible at the time of the vote. Separate from the
acquisition of the Broadata Preferred Shares, we also entered into a Preferred
Manufacturing Agreement with Broadata. Under this agreement, we will perform
exclusive "turn-key" manufacturing services handling most of Broadata's
manufacturing operations from material procurement to complete finished
box-build of all of Broadata's products. The initial term of the agreement is
three years, continuing month to month thereafter unless terminated by either
party.
As of September 21, 2005 we had no other acquisitions planned or anticipated. We
continue to work with MET and Cogent with respect to potential acquisitions.
Competition
The electronic manufacturing services industry is large and diverse and is
serviced by many companies, including several that have achieved significant
market share. Because of our market's size and diversity, we do not typically
compete for contracts with a discreet group of competitors. We compete with
different companies depending on the type of service or geographic area. Certain
of our competitors may have greater manufacturing, financial, research and
development and marketing resources. We also face competition from current and
prospective customers that evaluate our capabilities against the merits of
manufacturing products internally.
We believe that the primary basis of competition in our targeted markets is
manufacturing technology, quality, responsiveness, the provision of value-added
services and price. To remain competitive, we must continue to provide
technologically advanced manufacturing services, maintain quality levels, offer
flexible delivery schedules, deliver finished products on a reliable basis and
compete favorably on the basis of price.
Furthermore, the Asian manufacturing market is growing at a rapid pace.
Particularly in China, therefore, management feels that the Company is
strategically positioned to hedge against unforeseen obstacles and continues its
efforts to increase establishing additional relationships with manufacturing
partners, facilities and personnel.
23
Regulation
We are subject to typical federal, state and local regulations and laws
governing the operations of manufacturing concerns, including environmental
disposal, storage and discharge regulations and laws, employee safety laws and
regulations and labor practices laws and regulations. We are not required under
current laws and regulations to obtain or maintain any specialized or
agency-specific licenses, permits, or authorizations to conduct our
manufacturing services. Other than as discussed in "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings"
concerning delinquent payroll taxes, we believe we are in substantial compliance
with all relevant regulations applicable to our business and operations.
Employees
In our Salt Lake headquarters, we employ 90 persons: 5 in administrative
positions, 2 in engineering and design, 81 in clerical and manufacturing, and 2
in sales. In our CirTran-Asia division, we employ 7 people; 1 administrative, 2
accounting staff, 2 quality engineers, and 2 design engineers. We believe that
our relationship with our employees is good.
Corporate Background
Our core business was commenced by Circuit Technology, Inc. ("Circuit"), in 1993
by our president, Iehab Hawatmeh. Circuit enjoyed increasing sales and growth in
the subsequent five years, going from $2.0 million in sales in 1994 to $15.4
million in 1998, leading to the purchase of two additional SMT assembly lines in
1998 and the acquisition of Racore Computer Products, Inc., in 1997. During that
period, Circuit hired additional management personnel to assist in managing its
growth, and Circuit executed plans to expand its operations by acquiring a
second manufacturing facility in Colorado. Circuit subsequently determined in
early 1999, however, that certain large contracts that accounted for significant
portions of our total revenues provided insufficient profit margins to sustain
the growth and resulting increased overhead. Furthermore, internal accounting
controls then in place failed to apprise management on a timely basis of our
deteriorating financial position.
We were incorporated in Nevada in 1987, under the name Vermillion Ventures,
Inc., for the purpose of acquiring other operating corporate entities. We were
largely inactive until July 1, 2000, when we issued a total of 10,000,000 shares
of our common stock (150,000,000 of our shares as presently constituted) to
acquire, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, CirTran Corporation (Utah),
substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit.
In 1987, Vermillion Ventures, Inc. filed an S-18 registration statement with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") but did not at that
time become a registrant under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act").
From 1989 until 2000, Vermillion did not make any filings with the SEC under the
1934 Act. In July 2000, we commenced filing regular annual, quarterly, and
current reports with the SEC on Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and 8-K, respectively, and
have made all filings required of a public company since that time. In February
2001, we filed a Form 8-A with the SEC and became a registrant under the 1934
Act. We may be subject to certain liabilities arising from the failure of
Vermillion to file reports with the SEC from 1989 to 1990, but we believe these
liabilities are minimal because there was no public market for the common shares
of Vermillion from 1989 until the third quarter of 1990 (when our shares began
to be traded on the Pink Sheets) and it is likely that the statute of
limitations has run on whatever public trades in the shares of our common stock
may have taken place during the period during which Vermillion failed to file
reports.
On August 6, 2001, we effected a 1:15 forward split and stock distribution which
increased the number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock from
10,420,067 to 156,301,005. We also increased our authorized capital from
500,000,000 to 750,000,000 shares.

Description of Property
On December 17, 2003, we entered into a ten-year lease agreement (the "Lease")
with PFE Properties, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the "Lessor"), for
our existing 40,000 square-foot headquarters and manufacturing facility, located
at 4125 South 6000 West in Salt Lake City, Utah. The workspace includes 10,000
square feet of office space to support the Registrant's Administration, Sales,
and Engineering Staff. The 30,000 square feet of manufacturing space includes a
highly secured inventory area, shipping and receiving areas, and manufacturing
and assembly space that support six full surface-mount lines with
state-of-the-art equipment capable of placing over 360 million components per
year.
On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into a Membership Acquisition Agreement
(the "Acquisition Agreement") with Rajayee Sayegh (the "Seller") for the
purchase of one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in PFE
Properties LLC, a Utah limited liability company ("PFE"). Under the Acquisition
Agreement, the Company agreed to issue twenty million (20,000,000) shares of its
restricted common stock, with a fair value of $800,000 on the date of issuance.
No registration rights were granted. The shares were issued without registration
under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
The primary asset of PFE is its rights, titles and interests in and to a parcel
of real property, together with any improvements, rents and profits thereon or
associated therewith, located at 4125 S. 6000 W., West Valley City, Utah, 84128,
where the Company presently has its headquarters and manufacturing facility.
Following the acquisition of the PFE interests, PFE will continue to own the
building, and the Company will continue to make lease payments under the 2003
lease.
Our facilities in Shenzhen, China, constitute a sales and business office. We
have no manufacturing facilities in China. Our office in Shenzhen is
approximately 1,600 square feet. Under the terms of our lease on the space, the
monthly payment is 15,000 Renminbi, which in October 2004 was approximately
$2,100, depending on the exchange rate. The term of the lease is for two years,
running from July 18, 2004.
We believe that the facilities and equipment described above are generally in
good condition, are well maintained, and are generally suitable and adequate for
our current and projected operating needs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
We provide a mixture of high- and medium volume turnkey manufacturing services
using surface mount technology, ball-grid array assembly, pin-through-hole and
custom injection molded cabling for leading electronics original equipment
manufactures ("OEMs") in the communications, networking, peripherals, gaming,
law enforcement, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical, and
semiconductor industries. Our services include pre-manufacturing, manufacturing,
and post-manufacturing services. Through our subsidiary, Racore Technology
Corporation, we design and manufacture Ethernet technology products. Our goal is
to offer customers the significant competitive advantages that can be obtained
from manufacture outsourcing, such as access to advanced manufacturing
technologies, shortened product time-to-market, reduced cost of production, more
effective asset utilization, improved inventory management, and increased
purchasing power.
During 2004, we established a new division, CirTran-Asia, Inc., which has
contributed to a major portion of the increase in revenue for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. This new division
CirTran-Asia is our Asian-based wholly-owned subsidiary of CirTran Corporation
and provides a myriad of manufacturing services to the direct response and
retail consumer markets. Our experience and expertise in manufacturing enables
CirTran-Asia to enter a project at any phase; engineering and design, product
development and prototyping, tooling, and hi-volume manufacturing.
CirTran has established a dedicated satellite office for CirTran-Asia, and has
retained Mr. Charles Ho to lead the new division. Having proven the value and
reliability of its core products, CirTran Corporation has chosen to expand into
previously untapped product lines. CirTran-Asia will pursue manufacturing
relationships beyond printed circuit board assemblies, cables, harnesses and
injection molding systems by establishing complete "box-build" or "turn-key"
relationships in the electronics, retail and direct consumer markets.
We have been preparing for more than a year for this strategic move into the
Asian market. Management anticipates that this new division will elevate CirTran
to an international contract manufacturer status of multiple products in a wide
variety of industries, and will, in short order, allow us to target large-scale
contracts. We anticipate that our new clients will be leading manufacturing and
marketing firms in the retail and direct consumer markets.
Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was recently released by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, requires all companies to include a
discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of
financial statements. Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements contained
in our Annual Report on form 10-KSB/A includes a summary of the significant
accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our Financial
Statements. The following is a brief discussion of the more significant
accounting policies and methods used by us.
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These principles require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Estimated amounts may differ under different
assumptions or conditions, and actual results could differ from the estimates.
26
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. Title passes to the customer or
independent sales representative at the time of shipment. Returns for defective
items are repaired and sent back to the customer. Historically, expenses
experienced with such returns have not been significant and have been recognized
as incurred.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market value. Costs
include labor, material, and overhead costs. Overhead costs are based on
indirect costs allocated among cost of sales, work-in-process inventory, and
finished goods inventory. Indirect overhead costs have been charged to cost of
sales or capitalized as inventory based on management's estimate of the benefit
of indirect manufacturing costs to the manufacturing process.
When there is evidence that the inventory's value is less than original cost,
the inventory is reduced to market value. The Company determines market value on
current resale amounts and whether technological obsolescence exists. The
Company has agreements with most of its customers that require the customer to
purchase inventory items related to their contracts in the event that the
contracts are cancelled. The market value of related inventory is based upon
those agreements.
The Company typically orders inventory on a customer-by-customer basis. In doing
so the Company enters into binding agreements that the customer will purchase
any excess inventory after all orders are complete. Almost 80% of the total
inventory is secured by these agreements.
Related Party Transactions
Certain transactions involving Abacas Ventures, Inc., the Saliba Private Annuity
Trust and the Saliba Living Trust are regarded as related party transactions
under FAS 57. Disclosure concerning these transactions is set out in this
section under "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Liquidity and Financing
Arrangements," and in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
Results of Operations - Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
Sales and Cost of Sales
Net sales increased 629.3% to $8,862,715 for the year ended December 31, 2004,
as compared to $1,215,245 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This sales
increase can be attributed to several factors. The first factor was the
strengthening of the overall market economy. Industry-wide, we are seeing more
OEMs release larger order commitments with extended time tables. The second
significant factor directly related to CirTran is our marketing approach. Most
contract manufacturers approach customers on a job-by-job basis. CirTran
approaches customers on a partner basis. We have developed a program where we
can be more effective when we control the material procurement, purchasing, and
final assembly, providing the customer a final quality product delivered on time
and at a lower market cost. This approach for the electronics assembly and
manufacture division has resulted in sales to new customers of $577,337 during
the year ended December 31, 2004. The biggest factor that contributed to the
increase of net sales during the 2004 was the establishment of the new division
CirTran-Asia, which contributed $5,458,944 of the increase in revenue.
Cost of sales increased by 722.8%, to $7,030,934 during year ended December 31,
2004, from $854,542 during the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in
cost of sales is due to an increase in revenue. Our gross profit margin for the
year ended December 31, 2004, was 20.5%, down from 16.5% from the year ended
December 31, 2003. The decrease is due to the increase of cost of sales for
CirTran-Asia products that have smaller gross margins, but higher sales volume.
The following charts present (i) comparisons of sales, cost of sales and gross
profit generated by our two main areas of operations, i.e., electronics assembly
and Ethernet technology, during 2003 and 2004; and (ii) comparisons during these
27
two years for each division between sales generated by pre-existing customers
and sales generated by new customers.

Inventory
We use just-in-time manufacturing, which is a production technique that
minimizes work-in-process inventory and manufacturing cycle time, while enabling
us to deliver products to customers in the quantities and time frame required.
This manufacturing technique requires us to maintain an inventory of component
parts to meet customer orders. Inventory at December 31, 2004 was $1,453,754, as
compared to $1,247,428 at December 31, 2003. The increase in inventory was
required to facilitate the increase in turnkey sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2004, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $3,362,933 versus $2,402,968 for 2003, a 39.9% increase. The
increase was due to expenses related to the CirTran-Asia division, along with
our efforts to aggressively market our products. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales as of December 30, 2004 were
28
37.9% as compared to 197.7% during 2003. This decrease is due in part to an
increase in sales and better control of expenses.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense for 2004 was $495,637 as compared to $571,044 for 2003, a
decrease of 13.2%. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in interest
expense related the settlement of various notes payable. We also had a gain on
forgiveness of debt in the amount of $1,713,881.
As a result of the above factors, our overall net loss decreased 77.4% to
$658,322 for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to $2,910,978 for the
year ended December 31, 2003.
Results of Operations - Comparison of Periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
Sales and Cost of Sales
Net sales increased to $7,229,649 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005,
as compared to $2,603,604 during the same period in 2004, for an increase of
177.7%. The second quarter sales increase can be attributed to several factors,
including the strengthening of the overall market economy. Industry-wide, we are
seeing more OEMs release larger order commitments with extended time tables. The
second factor directly related to CirTran is our continuing marketing approach.
Most contract manufacturers approach customers on a job-by-job basis. CirTran
approaches customers on a partner basis. We have developed a program where we
can be more effective when we control the material procurement, purchasing, and
final assembly, providing the customer a final quality product delivered on time
and at a lower market cost. Between these new approaches, sales have resulted in
an increase of approximately $145,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
The largest factor contributing to the increase of net sales during the second
quarter was the new division, CirTran-Asia, which has contributed $4,481,045 of
the increase in revenue. CirTran-Asia, the Asian-based wholly owned subsidiary
of CirTran Corporation, provides a myriad of manufacturing services to the
direct response and retail consumer markets. Our experience and expertise in
manufacturing enables CirTran-Asia to enter a project at any phase: engineering
and design, product development and prototyping, tooling, and high-volume
manufacturing. Cost of sales increased by 117.5%, from $1,996,547 during the six
month period ended June 30, 2004, to $4,342,271 during the same period in 2005.
The increase in cost of sales is due to the increase in revenue. Our gross
profit margin for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, was 39.9%, up from
23.3% for the same period in 2004. The majority of the increase is due to a
considerable increase in CirTran-Asia sales which has consistent and more
favorable margins compared to the electronics assembly and Ethernet technology
business operations.
Inventory
We use just-in-time manufacturing, which is a production technique that
minimizes work-in-process inventory and manufacturing cycle time, while enabling
us to deliver products to customers in the quantities and time frame required.
This manufacturing technique requires us to maintain an inventory of component
parts to meet customer orders. Inventory at June 30, 2005, was $1,550,450, as
compared to $1,453,754 at December 31, 2004. The increase in inventory is
required to facilitate the continuing increase in turnkey sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $2,529,142 versus $1,364,576 for the same period in 2004, an 85.3%
increase. The increase was due to expenses related to the CirTran-Asia division,
along with our efforts to aggressively market our products. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales as of June 30, 2005 were 35.0%
as compared to 52.4% during the same period in 2004. This decrease is due in
part to an increase in sales and better control of expenses.
29
Interest Expense
Interest expense for six months ended June 30, 2005, was $262,798 as compared to
$314,593 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of 16.5%. The decrease is
primarily due to the reduction of various notes payable.
As a result of the above factors, we had net income of $264,501 for the six
months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to a net loss of ($945,586) for the six
months ended June 30, 2004. This net profit is attributed to a substantial
increase in sales and better cost controls.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our revenues are currently greater than our expenses. We have had a history of
losses preceeding this quarter, and our accumulated deficit has decreased to
$18,535,101 at June 30, 2005, compared to $18,799,602 at December 31, 2004. Our
net income for the quarter ending June 30, 2005, was $466,229, compared to a net
loss of ($361,964) for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Our current liabilities
exceeded our current assets by ($62,852) as of June 30, 2005, and ($3,558,826)
as of December 31, 2004. The decrease was mostly attributable to settlements of
notes payable, decreasing account payables, and an increase in accounts
receivable and inventory along with acquiring the building and property. For the
six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we had negative cash flows from
operations of ($969,258) and ($1,131,294) respectively. For the six months ended
June 30, 2005, we have improved the cash flow by $162,036, as compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2004.
Cash
We had cash on hand of $679,905 at June 30, 2005, and $81,101 at December 31,
2004.
Net cash used in operating activities was $969,258 for the six months ended June
30, 2005. Cash received from customers of $4,937,533 was not sufficient to
offset cash paid to vendors, suppliers, and employees of $5,906,791. The
non-cash charges were for depreciation and amortization of $161,657 and loan
costs and interest paid from loan proceeds of $67,168. Because the Company has
negative cash flows from operations, it must rely on sources of cash other than
customers to support its operations. It is anticipated that various methods of
equity financing will be required to support operations until cash flows from
operations are positive.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2005,
consisted of deposits and equipment purchases of $336,636 and cash acquired with
PFE acquisition in the amount of $39,331.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,865,367 during the six months
ended June 30, 2005. Principal sources of cash were proceeds of $95,586 from
notes payable to related parties, proceeds from notes payable of $1,732,067, and
proceeds from the exercise of options to purchase common stock of $33,300.
Accounts Receivable
At June 30, 2005, we had receivables of $3,580,834, net of a reserve for
doubtful accounts of $41,117, as compared to accounts receivable of $1,288,719
at December 31, 2004, net of a reserve of $41,143. This increase was primarily
attributed to sales having substantially increased in the last month of the
second quarter as compared to the last two months in 2004. The Company has
implemented an aggressive process to collect past due accounts over the past
several years. As such, the receivables that were past due for a period of
greater than 45 days as of June 30, 2005, were less than 5% of total
receivables. Individual accounts are continually monitored for collectibilty. As
part of monitoring individual customer accounts, the Company evaluates the
adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. Since the implementation of the
new collection process, very few accounts have been deemed uncollectible. In
addition, the majority of the increase in accounts receivable as of June 30,
2005, related to sales that occurred in the last month of the quarter. Therefore
they were not deemed uncollectible.
30
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable were $1,534,049 at June 30, 2005, as compared to $1,104,392 at
December 31, 2004. This increase is primarily attributed to facilitating the
continuing increase in turnkey sales.
Liquidity and Financing Arrangements
We have a history of substantial losses from operations and using rather than
providing cash in operations. We had an accumulated deficit of $18,535,101 and a
total stockholders' equity of $2,151,136 at June 30, 2005. As of June 30, 2005,
our monthly operating costs and interest expenses averaged approximately
$477,000 per month.
In conjunction with our efforts to improve our results of operations, discussed
above, we are also actively seeking infusions of capital from investors. It is
unlikely that we will be able, in our current financial condition, to obtain
additional debt financing; and if we did acquire more debt, we would have to
devote additional cash flow to paying the debt and securing the debt with
assets. We may therefore have to rely on equity financing to meet our
anticipated capital needs. There can be no assurances that we will be successful
in obtaining such capital. If we issue additional shares for debt and/or equity,
this will dilute the value of our common stock and existing shareholders'
positions.
Notes Payable to Equity Line Investor -- During 2003, we borrowed a total of
$1,830,000 from Cornell Capital Partners, LP, pursuant to nine unsecured
promissory notes. The loans were made and the notes were issued from June 2003
through December 2003. In lieu of interest, we paid fees to the lender, ranging
from 5% to 10%, of the amount of the loan. These fees have been recorded as
interest expense. The fees were negotiated in each instance and agreed upon by
us and by the lender and its affiliate. The notes were repayable over periods
ranging from 70 days to 131 days. Each of the notes stated that if we did not
repay the notes when due, a default interest rate of 24% would apply to the
unpaid balance. Through December 31, 2003, we directed the repayment of
$1,180,000 of these notes from proceeds generated under the Equity Line
Agreement, discussed in Note 10 below. At December 31, 2003, the balance owing
on these notes was $650,000. All notes were paid when due or before, and at no
time did we incur the 24% penalty interest rate.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, Cornell loaned us an additional
$3,200,000 pursuant to four additional unsecured promissory notes, $1,700,000 of
which remained outstanding at December 31, 2004. The loans were made and the
notes were issued in January through June 2004, bringing the total aggregate
loans from Cornell to $5,030,000. As before, in lieu of interest, we paid fees
to the lender, ranging from 4% to 5%, of the amount of the loan. The fees were
negotiated in each instance and agreed upon by us and by the lender and its
affiliate. The notes were repayable over periods of 88 days and 193 days. Each
of the notes stated that if we did not repay the notes when due, a default
interest rate of 24% would apply to the unpaid balance.
As noted above, we received proceeds of $5,030,000 from notes payable to
Cornell. We used the proceeds from these notes to fund operating losses of
approximately $2,938,000, pay down accounts payable, notes payable and other
settlements of approximately $1,401,000, purchase equipment and tooling in the
amount of $391,000, and to invest in Broadata in the amount of $300,000. During
January 2005, the Company received proceeds of $565,000 from an additional note
payable to Cornell to fund the settlement with the Internal Revenue Service
With the sale of the Convertible Debenture in May 2005 to Highgate, $2,265,000
of the proceeds were paid to Cornell to repay promissory notes in the amount of
$1,700,000 and $565,000.
Prior Equity Line of Credit Agreement - In conjunction with efforts to improve
the results of our operations, discussed above, on November 5, 2002, we entered
into an Equity Line of Credit Agreement with Cornell. We subsequently terminated
that agreement, and on April 8, 2003, we entered into an amended equity line
agreement (the "Equity Line Agreement") with Cornell. Under the Equity Line
Agreement, we had the right to draw up to $5,000,000 from Cornell against an
equity line of credit (the "Equity Line"), and to put to Cornell shares of our
common stock in lieu of repayment of the draw. The number of shares to be issued
was determined by dividing the amount of the draw by the lowest closing bid
31
price of our common stock over the five trading days after the advance notice
was tendered. Cornell was required under the Equity Line Agreement to tender the
funds requested by us within two trading days after the five-trading-day period
used to determine the market price.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, we drew an aggregate amount of
$2,150,000 under the Equity Line Agreement, pursuant to draws on the Equity
Line, net of fees of $86,000, and issued a total of 57,464,386 shares of common
stock to Cornell under the Equity Line Agreement. At our direction, Cornell
retained the proceeds of the draws under the Equity Line Agreement and applied
them as payments on the notes to Cornell, discussed above.
Pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement, in connection with each draw, we agreed
to pay a fee of 4% of the amount of the draw to Cornell as consideration for its
providing the Equity Line. Total fees paid for the year ended December 31, 2004
were $128,000. Of these payments, $86,000 was offset against additional paid-in
capital as shares were issued under the Equity Line Agreement and $68,000 was
recorded as deferred offering costs for total deferred offering costs of $68,000
at December 31, 2004. These deferred offering costs were expensed as the Equity
Line Agreement was terminated in conjunction with the sale of the Convertible
Debenture in May 2005.
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement - We entered into a Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement (the "Agreement") dated May 21, 2004, with Cornell. Under
the Agreement, we had the right, at our sole discretion, to sell periodically to
Cornell shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $20
million. The purchase price for the shares sold to Cornell was to be equal to
the lowest volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the pricing
period consisting of the five consecutive trading days after we gave an advance
notice. The periodic sale of shares was known as an advance. We could request an
advance, by giving a written advance notice to Cornell, and could not request
advances more frequently than every seven trading days. A closing was to be held
on the first trading day after the end of the pricing period. The maximum
advance amount was one million dollars ($1,000,000) per advance, with a minimum
of seven trading days between advances. In addition, we could not request
advances if the shares to be issued in connection with such advances would
result in Cornell owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock.
Cornell was to retain a commitment fee of 5% of the amount of each advance under
the Agreement.
With the sale of the Convertible Debenture in May 2005, the Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement and related agreements were terminated.
Convertible Debenture - On May 26, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement
with Highgate House Funds, Ltd. ("Highgate") to sale to Highgate a $3,750,000,
5% Secured Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture"). The Debenture is due
December 2007 and is secured by all of the Company's property.
Accrued interest is payable at the time of maturity or conversion. The Company
may, at its option, elect to pay accrued interest in cash or shares of the
Company's common stock. If paid in stock, the conversion price shall be the
closing bid price of the common stock on either the date the interest payment is
due or the date on which the interest payment is made.
At any time, Highgate may elect to convert principal amounts owing on the
Debenture into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal
to the lesser of $0.10 per share, or an amount equal to the lowest closing bid
price of our common stock for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the
conversion date. The Company has the right to redeem a portion or the entire
Debenture then outstanding by paying 105% of the principal amount redeemed plus
accrued interest thereon.
Highgate's right to convert principal amounts into shares of the Company's
common stock is limited as follows:
32
(i) Highgate may convert up to $250,000 worth of the
principal amount plus accrued interest of the Debenture in any
consecutive 30-day period when the market price of the
Company's stock is $0.10 per share or less at the time of
conversion;
(ii) Highgate may convert up to $500,000 worth of the
principal amount plus accrued interest of the Debenture in any
consecutive 30-day period when the price of the Company's
stock is greater than $0.10 per share at the time of
conversion; provided, however, that Highgate may convert in
excess of the foregoing amounts if the Company and Highgate
mutually agree; and
(iii) Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Highgate
may, in its sole discretion, accelerate full repayment of all
debentures outstanding and accrued interest thereon or may
convert the Debentures and accrued interest thereon into
shares of the Company's common stock.
Except in the event of default, Highgate may not convert the Debenture for a
number of shares that would result in Highgate owning more than 4.99% of the
Company's outstanding common stock.
The Company granted Highgate registration rights, pursuant to which the Company
agreed to file, within 120 days of the closing of the purchase of the debenture,
a registration statement to register the resale of shares of the Company's
common stock issuable upon conversion of the debenture. The Company agreed to
register the resale of up to 100,000,000 shares, and to keep such registration
statement effective until all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the
Debenture have been sold. In the event that the Company issues more than
100,000,000 shares of its common stock, it will file additional registration
statements as necessary.
The Company determined that Highgate LLC received a beneficial conversion option
and allocated $441,402 of the proceeds received to the beneficial conversion
option that resulted in an offsetting discount to the note payable. The discount
on the note payable is being amortized to interest expense from the date
proceeds were received through December 2007, and amounted to $16,271 of
accretion of the discount during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
In connection with the sale of the Debenture, $2,265,000 of the proceeds was
paid directly to Cornell to repay promissory notes. Fees of $256,433 were also
withheld from the proceeds. As such, of the total Debenture amount of
$3,750,000, the net proceeds to us were $1,228,567. The proceeds will be used
for general corporate and working capital purposes, at the Company's discretion.
Forward-looking statements
All statements made in this prospectus, other than statements of historical
fact, which address activities, actions, goals, prospects, or new developments
that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such
things as expansion and growth of operations and other such matters are
forward-looking statements. Any one or a combination of factors could materially
affect our operations and financial condition. These factors include competitive
pressures, success or failure of marketing programs, changes in pricing and
availability of parts inventory, creditor actions, and conditions in the capital
markets. Forward-looking statements made by us are based on knowledge of our
business and the environment in which we currently operate. Because of the
factors listed above, as well as other factors beyond our control, actual
results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements.
5% Convertible Debenture
On May 26, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") with Highgate House Funds, Ltd., a Cayman Island exempted company
33
("Highgate" or the "Selling Shareholder"), relating to the sale by us of a 5%
Secured Convertible Debenture, due December 31, 2007, in the aggregate principal
amount of $3,750,000 (the "Convertible Debenture").
In connection with the purchase of the Convertible Debenture, we used $2,265,000
to repay two promissory notes to Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("Cornell"), one
in the amount of $1,700,000, and the other in the amount of $565,000.
We also paid a commitment fee of $240,765.11, a structuring fee of $10,000 to
the Selling Shareholder, and legal fees of $5,668.17. As such, of the total
purchase amount of $3,750,000, the net proceeds to us were $1,228,566.72. We
intend to use these proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes,
in our discretion.
The Convertible Debenture bears interest at a rate of 5%. The Selling
Shareholder is entitled to convert, at its option, all or part of the principal
amount owing under the Convertible Debenture into shares of our common stock at
a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) $0.10 per share, or (b) an amount
equal to the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock as listed on the OTC
Bulletin Board, as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. for the twenty (20) trading days
immediately preceding the conversion date. Except as otherwise set forth in the
Convertible Debenture, the Selling Shareholder's right to convert principal
amounts owing under the Convertible Debenture into shares of our common stock is
limited as follows:
1. The Selling Shareholder may convert up to $250,000 worth of
the principal amount plus accrued interest of the Convertible
Debenture in any consecutive 30-day period when the market
price of our stock is $0.10 per share or less at the time of
conversion;
2. The Selling Shareholder may convert up to $500,000 worth of
the principal amount plus accrued interest of the Convertible
Debenture in any consecutive 30-day period when the price of
our stock is greater than $0.10 per share at the time of
conversion, provided, however, that the Selling Shareholder
may convert in excess of the foregoing amounts if we and the
Selling Shareholder mutually agree; and
3. Upon the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the
Convertible Debenture), the Selling Shareholder may, in its
sole discretion, accelerate full repayment of all debentures
outstanding and accrued interest thereon or may,
notwithstanding any limitations contained in the Convertible
Debenture and/or the Purchase Agreement, convert the
Convertible Debenture and accrued interest thereon into shares
of our common stock pursuant to the Convertible Debenture.
A chart showing the number of shares issuable upon hypothetical conversions at
particular conversion prices is set forth in the "Risk Factors" section on page
11.
Pursuant to the Convertible Debenture, interest is to be paid at the time of
maturity or conversion. We may, in our option, pay accrued interest in cash or
in shares of common stock. If paid in stock, the conversion price shall be the
closing bid price of the common stock on either (i) the date the interest
payment is due; or (ii) if the interest payment is not made when due, the date
on which the interest payment is made.
Under the terms of the Convertible Debenture, except upon an event of default as
defined in the Convertible Debenture, the Selling Shareholder may not convert
the Convertible Debenture for a number of shares of common stock in excess of
that number of shares of common stock which, upon giving effect to such
conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99%
of the outstanding shares of the common stock following such conversion.
Also pursuant to the Convertible Debenture, we have the right to redeem, by
giving 3 days' written notice to the Selling Shareholder, a portion or all of
the Convertible Debenture then outstanding by paying an amount equal to one
hundred five percent (105%) of the amount redeemed plus interest accrued
thereon. In the event that we redeem only a portion of the outstanding principal
amount of the Convertible Debenture, the Selling Shareholder may convert all or
34
any portion of the unpaid principal or interest of the Convertible Debenture not
being redeemed. Additionally, if after the earlier to occur of (x) fifteen (15)
months following the date of the purchase of the Convertible Debenture or (y)
twelve (12) months following the date on which the initial registration
statement is declared effective, all or any portion of the Convertible Debenture
remains outstanding, then we, at the request of the Selling Shareholder, shall
redeem such amount outstanding at the rate of five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000) per each 30-day period. Finally, upon the occurrence of an event of
default as defined in the Convertible Debenture, the Selling Shareholder can
convert all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible
Debenture irrespective of any of the limitations set forth in the Convertible
Debenture and/or the Purchase Agreement, and in such event, all such principal
and interest shall become immediately due and payable.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into an investor
registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the
Selling Shareholder, pursuant to which, we agreed to file, within 120 days of
the closing of the purchase of the Convertible Debenture, a registration
statement to register the resale of shares of the Company's common stock
issuable to the Selling Shareholder upon conversion of the Convertible
Debenture. We agreed to register the resale of up to 100,000,000 shares, and to
keep such registration statement effective until all of the shares issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Debenture have been sold. In the event that we
issue more than 100,000,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of the
Convertible Debenture, we will file additional registration statements as
necessary.
We also entered into a security agreement (the "Security Agreement") with the
Selling Shareholder, pursuant to which we pledged all of our property, including
goods; inventory; contract rights and general intangibles; documents, receipts,
and chattel paper; accounts and other receivables; products and proceeds; and
any interest in any subsidiary, joint venture, or other investment interest to
secure our obligation under the Convertible Debenture and the related
agreements.
We also entered into an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") with the
Selling Shareholder relating to the holding and disbursement of payment of the
purchase price of the Convertible Debenture and cash payments made by us in
payment of the obligations owing under the Convertible Debenture. David Gonzalez
was appointed as the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement.
We sold the Convertible Debenture without registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") in reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933
Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Upon future
conversions, if any, of the Convertible Debenture into shares of our common
stock, we intend to issue the shares without registration under the 1933 Act in
reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. As noted above, we anticipate that any resales by the
Selling Shareholder of the shares issued upon conversion of the Convertible
Debenture will be made pursuant to this registration statement.
Selling shareholder
One of our investors, Highgate House Funds, Ltd., a Cayman Island exempted
company, is the Selling Shareholder in connection with this prospectus and the
registration statement of which it is a part. Highgate is not affiliated in any
way with CirTran or any of our affiliates, except that the escrow agent
appointed in connection with the Purchase Agreement and the Escrow Agreement,
David Gonzalez, is an officer of Cornell Capital Partners, LLP ("Cornell"), an
entity with which we previously entered into two transactions, an equity line of
credit agreement and a standby equity distribution agreement. Both of those
agreements have been terminated. Additionally, as described above, prior to our
entering into the Purchase Agreement with Highgate, Cornell had previously made
two loans to us in the amounts of $1,700,000 and $565,000, respectively, which
loans we repaid with part of the proceeds of the sale of the Convertible
Debenture.
This prospectus, and the registration statement of which it is a part, cover the
resales of the shares to be issued to Highgate, the Selling Shareholder, in
connection with conversions of the Convertible Debenture.
35
The following table provides information about the actual and potential
ownership of shares of our common stock by Highgate in connection with the
Convertible Debenture as of September 21, 2005, and the number of our shares
registered for sale in this prospectus. The number of shares of common stock
issuable to Highgate in connection with conversions of the Convertible Debenture
varies according to the market price at and immediately preceding the date of a
conversion by Highgate. Solely for purposes of estimating the number of shares
of common stock that would be issuable to Highgate as set forth in the table
below, we have assumed a hypothetical conversion by Highgate on September 21,
2005, of the full amount of $3,750,000 principal amount of the Convertible
Debenture at a per share price of $0.03. The actual per share price and the
number of shares issuable upon actual conversions by Highgate could differ
substantially. This prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a
part covers the resale of up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock issuable
to Highgate in connection with conversions of the Convertible Debenture.
Under the terms and conditions of the Convertible Debenture and the Purchase
Agreemenr, Highgate is prohibited from converting amounts under the Convertible
Debenture that would cause Highgate to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the
then-outstanding shares of our common stock following such issuance. This
restriction does not prevent Highgate from receiving and selling shares and
thereafter receiving additional shares. In this way, Highgate could sell more
than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame
while never beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding CirTran
common stock at any one time. For purposes of calculating the number of shares
of common stock issuable to Highgate assuming a conversion of the full amount of
the Convertible Debenture, as set forth below, the effect of such 4.99%
limitation has been disregarded. The number of shares issuable to Highgate as
described in the table below therefore may exceed the actual number of shares
Highgate may be entitled to beneficially own under the Convertible Debenture.
The following information is not determinative of Highgate's beneficial
ownership of our common stock pursuant to Rule 13d-3 or any other provision
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(1) To our knowledge, and based on representations from Highgate's
management, Highgate did not own any shares of our common stock as of September
21, 2005. Highgate House Funds, Ltd., is an entity managed by Yorkville
Advisors, LLC. Adam Gottbetter is the co-portfolio manager of Yorkville
Advisors, LLC.
(2) As noted above, Highgate is prohibited by the terms of the
Convertible Debenture from converting amounts of the Convertible Debenture that
would cause it to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding
shares of our common stock following such put. The percentages set forth are not
determinative of the Selling Shareholder's beneficial ownership of our common
stock pursuant to Rule 13d-3 or any other provision under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(3) The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part
covers up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock issuable in connection with the
Convertible Debenture. Because the specific circumstances of the issuances under
36
the Convertible Debenture are within the discretion of Highgate and are
therefore unascertainable at this time, the precise total number of shares of
our common stock offered by the Selling Shareholder cannot be fixed at this
time, but cannot exceed 100,000,000 unless we file additional registration
statements registering the resale of the additional shares. The amount set forth
below represents the number of shares of our common stock that have been issued
and that would be issuable, and hence offered in part hereby, assuming a
conversion of the full principal amount of the Convertible Debenture (excluding
any interest accrued thereon) as of September 21, 2005. The actual number of
shares of our common stock offered hereby may differ according to the actual
number of shares issued upon such conversions.
(4) Includes:
125,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon a
hypothetical conversion of the full
$3,750,000 principal amount of the
Convertible Debenture as of September 21,
2005. This prospectus registers only up to
100,000,000 shares of common stock issuable
in connection with the Convertible
Debenture. Accordingly, we may not issue
shares in excess of 100,000,000 unless we
file additional registration statements
registering the resale of the additional
shares.
(5) Assumes a hypothetical conversion of the full $3,750,000
principal amount of the Convertible Debenture as of September 21, 2005, and the
issuance of 125,000,000 shares of our common stock, together with the sale by
Highgate of all such shares. There is no assurance that Highgate will sell any
or all of the shares offered hereby. However, Highgate is contractually
prohibited from converting amounts of the Convertible Debenture that would cause
it to hold shares in excess of 4.99% of the then-issued and shares of our common
stock. This number and percentage may change based on Highgate's decision to
sell or hold the Shares. There is no assurance that Highgate will sell any or
all of the shares offered hereby. If Highgate sells all of the shares issued to
it in connection with the Convertible Debenture, the number of shares held
following such sales would be 0 and the percentage of ownership would be 0%.
Plan of Distribution
The Selling Shareholder, its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors
in interest, may from time to time sell the Shares of our Common Stock directly
to purchasers or indirectly to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or
agents. The Selling Shareholder may sell all or part of its shares in one or
more transactions at fixed prices, varying prices, prices at or related to the
then-current market price or at negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholder will
determine the specific offering price of the Shares from time to time that, at
that time, may be higher or lower than the market price of our Common Stock
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The Selling Shareholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents
participating in the distribution of the Shares of our Common Stock may be
deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933,
and any profit from the sale of such shares by the Selling Shareholder and any
compensation received by any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed
to be underwriting discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Shareholder
may agree to indemnify any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent that participates
in transactions involving sales of the Warrants or shares against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Because the Selling Shareholder may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act, the Selling Shareholder will be subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the
Selling Shareholder that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M
promulgated under the Exchange Act may apply to its sales in the market. With
certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the Selling Shareholder, any
affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in
such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any
person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the
distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also
prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a
security in connection with the distribution of that security.
37
The method by which the Selling Shareholder, or its pledgees, donees,
transferees or other successors in interest, may offer and sell their Shares may
include, but are not limited to, the following:
o sales on the over-the-counter market, or other securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is listed at the time of
sale, at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related
to the then-current market price;
o sales in privately negotiated transactions;
o sales for their own account pursuant to this prospectus;
o through the writing of options, whether such options are
listed on an options exchange or otherwise through the
settlement of short sales;
o cross or block trades in which broker-dealers will attempt to
sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a
portion of the block as a principal in order to facilitate the
transaction;
o purchases by broker-dealers who then resell the shares for
their own account;
o brokerage transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers;
o any combination of these methods of sale; and
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
Any Shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale
under Rule 144 or Rule 144A of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 or
Rule 144A rather than under this prospectus. The Shares of our Common Stock may
be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
In addition, in some states, the Shares of our Common Stock may not be sold
unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or the sale is entitled
to an exemption from registration.
The Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions,
broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of our
securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling
Shareholder. The Selling Shareholder may also enter into options or other
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require
the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the
securities offered hereby, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial
institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended
to reflect such transaction).
To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings
between the Selling Shareholder and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent
regarding the sale of Shares of our Common Stock by the Selling Shareholder.
The Selling Shareholder will pay all fees, discounts and brokerage commissions
in connection with any sales, including any fees to finders. We will pay all
expenses of preparing and reproducing this prospectus, including expenses or
compliance with state securities laws and filing fees with the SEC.
Under applicable rules and regulations under Regulation M under the Exchange
Act, any person engaged in the distribution of securities may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities, subject to certain exceptions, with respect
to the securities for a specified period set forth in Regulation M prior to the
commencement of such distribution and until its completion. In addition and with
limiting the foregoing, the Selling Shareholder will be subject to the
applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which
provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the securities by
Selling Shareholder. The foregoing may affect the marketability of the
securities offered hereby.
The Selling Shareholder may be deemed to be an "underwriter" as such term is
defined in the Securities Act, and any commissions paid or discounts or
concessions allowed to any such person and any profits received on resale of the
securities offered hereby may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under
the Securities Act.
38
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "CIRT.OB."
Regulation M
We have informed the Selling Shareholders that Regulation M promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be applicable to them with respect to
any purchase or sale of our common stock. In general, Rule 102 under Regulation
M prohibits any person connected with a distribution of our common stock from
directly or indirectly bidding for, or purchasing for any account in which it
has a beneficial interest, any of the Shares or any right to purchase the
Shares, for a period of one business day before and after completion of its
participation in the distribution.
During any distribution period, Regulation M prohibits the Selling Shareholders
and any other persons engaged in the distribution from engaging in any
stabilizing bid or purchasing our common stock except for the purpose of
preventing or retarding a decline in the open market price of the common stock.
None of these persons may effect any stabilizing transaction to facilitate any
offering at the market. As the Selling Shareholders will be offering and selling
our common stock at the market, Regulation M will prohibit them from effecting
any stabilizing transaction in contravention of Regulation M with respect to the
Shares.
We also have advised the Selling Shareholders that they should be aware that the
anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply
to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders,
and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged
in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the Selling Shareholders
or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to
bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such Selling Shareholders
are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Regulation M may prohibit
the Selling Shareholders from covering short sales by purchasing shares while
the distribution is taking place, despite any contractual rights to do so under
the Agreement. We have advised the Selling Shareholders that they should consult
with their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with Regulation M.
Legal Proceedings
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had accrued liabilities in the amount of
$155,627 for delinquent payroll taxes, including interest and penalties due to
the State of Utah. In November 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with
the Utah State Tax Commission to allow the Company to pay the liability owing to
the State of Utah in equal monthly installments over a two year period. Under
the agreement, the Company would make monthly payments of $4,000 per month
through November 2005. As of September 15, 2005, the Company was current in its
payments to the State of Utah.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had accrued liabilities in the amount of
$500,000 for delinquent payroll taxes, including interest and penalties, owed to
the Internal Revenue Service. The Company, in response to collection notices,
filed a due process appeal with the Internal Revenue Service's Appeals Office.
The appeal was resolved by an agreement with the Appeals Office that allowed the
Company to file an offer in compromise of all federal tax liabilities owed by
the Company based on its ability to pay. The Company filed its offer in
compromise with the IRS in November 2003, and after meeting with IRS personnel,
filed a revised offer in compromise on August 31, 2004. The Company was notified
in November 2004 that the IRS had accepted the offer in compromise. Under the
offer, the Company was required to pay an aggregate amount of $500,000
(representing payments of $350,000 by Circuit Technology, Inc., $100,000 by
CirTran Corporation, and $50,000 by Racore Technology, Inc.), not later than
February 3, 2005. These amounts were paid. Additionally, the Company must remain
current in its payment of taxes for 5 years, and may not claim any NOLs for the
years 2001 through 2015, or until the three companies pay taxes in an amount
equal to the taxes waived by the offer in compromise.
We (as successor to Circuit Technology, Inc.) were a defendant in an action in
El Paso County, Colorado District Court, brought by Sunborne XII, LLC, a
Colorado limited liability company, for alleged breach of a sublease agreement
involving facilities located in Colorado. Our liability in this action was
originally estimated to range up to $2.5 million, and we subsequently filed a
39
counter suit in the same court against Sunborne in an amount exceeding $500,000
for missing equipment. Effective January 18, 2002, we entered into a settlement
agreement with Sunborne with respect to the above-described litigation. The
settlement agreement required us to pay Sunborne the sum of $250,000. Of this
amount, $25,000 was paid upon execution of the agreement, and the balance of
$225,000, together with interest at 8% per annum, was payable by July 18, 2002.
As security for payment of the balance, we executed and delivered to Sunborne a
Confession of Judgment and also issued to Sunborne 3,000,000 shares of our
common stock, which were held in escrow and have been treated as treasury stock
recorded at no cost. Because 75% of the balance owing under the agreement was
not paid by May 18, 2002, we were required to prepare and file with the
Securities & Exchange Commission, at our expense, a registration statement with
respect to the shares that were escrowed. The payment was not made, nor was a
registration statement filed with respect to the escrowed shares.
Pursuant to a Termination of Sublease Agreement dated as of May 22, 2002 among
the Company, Sunborne and other parties, the sublease agreement that was the
subject of our litigation with Sunborne was terminated and a payment of
approximately $109,000 was credited against the amount owed by the Company to
Sunborne under the Company's settlement agreement with them. Sunborne has filed
a claim that this amount was to be an additional rent expense rather than a
payment on the note payable. The Company disputes this claim and intends to
vigorously defend the action.
As of April 8, 2005, the Company was in default of its obligations under the
settlement agreement with Sunborne, i.e., the total payment due thereunder had
not been made, a registration statement with respect to the escrowed shares was
not filed, and the Company did not replace the escrowed shares with registered,
free-trading shares as per the terms of the agreement. Accordingly, Sunborne has
filed the Confession of Judgment and proceeded with execution thereon.
Additionally, Sunborne sold the 3,000,000 shares. The Company is continuing to
negotiate with Sunborne in an attempt to settle the remaining obligation.
C/S Utilities notified the Company that it believes it has a claim against the
Company in the amount of $32,472 regarding utilities services. The claim was
assigned to BC Services, Inc., which obtained a judgment against Circuit
Technology, Inc., for $37,965.84 in El Paso County, Colorado, District Court on
February 13, 2003. The Company is reviewing its records in an effort to confirm
the validity of the claims and is evaluating its options.
We also assumed certain liabilities of Circuit Technology, Inc., in connection
with our transactions with that entity in the year 2000, and as a result we are
defendant in a number of legal actions involving nonpayment of vendors for goods
and services rendered. We have accrued these payables and have negotiated
settlements with respect to some of the liabilities, including those detailed
below, and are currently negotiating settlements with other vendors.
Howard Salamon, dba Salamon Brothers vs. CirTran Corporation, Civil No.
2:03-00787, U.S. District Court, District of Utah. Howard Salamon originally
filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of
New York, seeking finders fees, consisting of shares of the Company's common
stock valued at $350,000, allegedly owed in connection with Salamon's
introducing the Company to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., the Equity Line
Investor. The Company disputes the claims in the complaint. The case was
dismissed in New York and refiled in Utah. The Company has filed its answer in
the Utah case and the lawsuit is proceeding. The Plaintiff sought leave to file
a supplemental complaint, which the court granted. The Company subsequently was
served with the supplemental complaint, in which Salamon seeks additional
finders fees, consisting of shares of the Company's common stock valued at
$1,400,000 (for an aggregate claim of $1,750,000), to which the Company filed
its answer. The case is still in the discovery phase. The Company is also
currently conducting settlement negotiations.
RecovAR Group, LLC vs. CirTran Corporation, Inc., District Court of Maryland.
This matter arises from an agreement between the Company and United Parcel
Services, Inc. ("UPS"). UPS alleges that the Company owes approximately $8,024
for services rendered. RecovAR Group, LLC, brought the action on behalf of UPS.
The Company is continuing its settlement negotiations with RecovAR Group, LLC.

defendant filed its answer and counterclaim, following which, defendant's
counsel withdrew from representation. CirTran Asia notified defendant that under

claims, all related to the Ab King Pro. CirTran Asia and the other plaintiffs
filed their reply to the counterclaim, disputing all of the allegations and
claims. CirTran Asia intends to vigorously pursue this action.
CirTran Asia v. Robinson, Civil No. 050915272, Third Judicial District Court,

personally liable to us or to our stockholders for damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as an officer or director, except for damages for breach of such
duty resulting from (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct,
fraud, or a knowing violation of law, or (b) the unlawful payment of dividends.
Our Bylaws also authorize us to indemnify our officers and directors under
certain circumstances. We anticipate we will enter into indemnification
agreements with each of our executive officers and directors pursuant to which
we will agree to indemnify each such person for all expenses and liabilities
incurred by such person in connection with any civil or criminal action brought
against such person by reason of their being an officer or director of the
Company. In order to be entitled to such indemnification, such person must have

person must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
Commission's Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Our Bylaws provide, among other things, that our officers or directors are not
personally liable to us or to our stockholders for damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as an officer or director, except for damages for breach of such
duty resulting from (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct,

Description of Common Stock
Effective August 6, 2001, our authorized capital was increased from 500,000,000
to 750,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and we also effected,
effective the same date, a 1:15 forward split of our issued and outstanding
shares of common stock through a forward split and share distribution. As of
September 21, 2005, 577,368,569 (post forward-split) shares of our common stock
were issued and outstanding. We are not authorized to issue preferred stock.
44
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to a pro rata share of cash
distributions made to shareholders, including dividend payments, and are
entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters to be voted on by
shareholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of our
directors or any other matter. Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. The
holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if
declared by our board of directors, in its sole discretion, from funds legally
available for such use. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets
remaining available for distribution to them after payment of our liabilities
and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having any
preference in relation to our common stock. Holders of our common stock have no
conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption
provisions applicable to our common stock.
We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our capital stock, nor do we
expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We
currently intend to retain our earnings, if any, for use in our business. Any
dividends declared in the future will be at the discretion of our board of
directors and subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by our lenders.
We have elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of the Nevada
Private Corporations Law that are designed to delay, defer or prevent a change
in control of the Company.
Registration Rights and Related Matters
Pursuant to an agreement dated November 3, 2000, and as part of our debt
settlement with Future Electronics Corporation ("Future"), we granted certain
registration rights to Future with respect to 5,281,050 (352,070 pre-forward
split) shares of our common stock. These rights provide Future with the
opportunity, subject to certain terms and conditions, to include up to 50% of
our common stock that it holds in any registration statement filed by us. Among
other things, we have agreed to pay any costs incurred with the registration of
such stock and to keep any registration statement we file active for a period of
180 days or until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement
has been completed. Future's registration rights are assignable and transferable
to any individual or entity that does not directly compete with us. These
registration rights are not exercisable, however, with respect to registration
statements relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a
company stock plan or relating solely to corporate reorganizations. In addition,
the rights would not be fully exercisable if an underwriter managing a public
offering determined in good faith that market factors required a limitation on
the number of shares that Future (or its assignee) would otherwise be entitled
to have registered.
In connection with our debt settlement with Future, our three largest
shareholders, Iehab Hawatmeh, Raed Hawatmeh and Roger Kokozyon (see "Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management"), entered into lock-up
agreements with Future, whereby they agreed not to sell to the public any shares
of our common stock held by them. Such lock-up agreements expired of their
terms, were not renewed, and are no longer in effect.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
An explanation of the relationship between CirTran and Abacas Ventures, Inc., is
as follows:
Two trusts, the Saliba Living Trust and the Saliba Private Annuity Trust
(collectively, the "Saliba Trusts"), were investors in Circuit Technology, a
Utah corporation and predecessor entity of the Company. The trustees of the
trusts are Tom and Betty Saliba, and Tom Saliba, respectively. (Tom Saliba is
the nephew of the grandfather of Trevor Saliba, one of the directors of
CirTran.) In July 2000, CirTran Corporation merged with Circuit Technology.
Through that merger, the Saliba Trusts became shareholders of CirTran. The
Saliba Trusts are also two of the shareholders of an entity named Abacas
Ventures, Inc. ("Abacas"). At the time of the merger, CirTran was in default on
several of its obligations, including an obligation to Imperial Bank. The Saliba
45
Trusts, through Abacas, purchased the bank's claim against CirTran to protect
their investment in CirTran. Since that time, Abacas has continued to settle
debts of CirTran to improve Abacas's position and to take advantage of certain
discounts that creditors of CirTran offered to settle their claims. On two
occasions, the Abacas shareholders have agreed to convert outstanding debt owed
by CirTran to Abacas into shares of CirTran common stock (discussed below).
Abacas continues to work with the company to settle claims by creditors against
CirTran, and, on occasion, to provide funding. There can be no assurance that
Abacus will agree to convert its existing debt, or any debt it acquires in the
future, into shares of CirTran, or that conversions will occur at a price and on
terms that are favorable to CirTran. If Abacus and CirTran cannot agree on
acceptable conversion terms, Abacus may demand payment of some or all of the
debt. If CirTran does not have sufficient cash or credit facilities to pay the
amount then due and owing by CirTran to Abacus, Abacus may exercise its rights
as a senior secured lender and commence foreclosure or other proceedings against
the assets of CirTran. Such actions by Abacus could have a material adverse
effect upon CirTran and its ability to continue in business.
In January, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Abacas under which
the Company issued an aggregate of 19,987,853 shares of common stock to four of
Abacas's shareholders in exchange for cancellation by Abacas of an aggregate
amount of $1,499,090 in senior debt owed to the creditors by the Company. The
shares were issued with an exchange price of $0.075 per share, for the aggregate
amount of $1,500,000.
In December, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Abacas under which
the Company issued an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of common stock to four of
Abacas's shareholders in exchange for cancellation by Abacas of an aggregate
amount of $1,500,000 in senior debt owed to the creditors by the Company. The
shares were issued with an exchange price of $0.05 per share, for the aggregate
amount of $1,500,000.
During 2002, the Company entered into a verbal bridge loan agreement with
Abacas. This agreement allows the Company to request funds from Abacas to
finance the build-up of inventory relating to specific sales. The loan bears
interest at 24% and is payable on demand. There are no required monthly
payments. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company was
advanced $3,128,281 and $350,000, respectively, and made cash payments of
$3,025,149 and $875,000, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, Abacas completed negotiations with
several vendors of the Company, whereby Abacas purchased various past due
amounts for goods and services provided by vendors, as well as notes payable
(see Note 6). The total of these obligations was $1,263,713. The Company has
recorded this transaction as a $1,263,713 non-cash increase to the note payable
owed to Abacas, pursuant to the terms of the Abacas agreement.
The total principal amount owed to Abacas between the note payable and the
bridge loan was $1,530,587 and $163,742 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The total accrued interest owed to Abacas between the note payable
and the bridge loan was $430,828 and $230,484 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities.
In March 2005, the shareholders of Abacas agreed to cancel $2,050,000 of
principal and accrued interest in return for the Company's issuing 51,250,000
shares of our restricted common stock to certain shareholders of Abacas. No
registration rights were granted.
Additional Information
As of December 31, 2001, Iehab Hawatmeh had loaned us a total of $1,390,125. The
loans were demand loans, bore interest at 10% per annum and were unsecured.
Effective January 14, 2002, we entered into four substantially identical
agreements with existing shareholders pursuant to which we issued an aggregate
of 43,321,186 shares of restricted common stock at a price of $0.075 per share
for $500,000 in cash and the cancellation of $2,749,090 principal amount of our
debt. Two of these agreements were with the Saliba Private Annuity Trust, one of
our principal shareholders, and a related entity, the Saliba Living Trust. The
Saliba trusts are also principals of Abacas Ventures, Inc., which entity
purchased our line of credit in May 2000. Pursuant to the Saliba agreements, the
46
trusts were issued a total of 26,654,520 shares of common stock in exchange for
$500,000 cash and the cancellation of $1,499,090 of debt. We used the $500,000
cash from the sale of the shares for working capital. As a result of this
transaction, the percentage of our common stock owned by the Saliba Private
Annuity Trust and the Saliba Living Trust increased from approximately 6.73% to
approximately 17.76%. Mr. Trevor Saliba, one of our directors and officers, is a
passive beneficiary of the Saliba Private Annuity Trust. Pursuant to the other
two agreements made in January 2002, we issued an aggregate of 16,666,666 shares
of restricted common stock at a price of $0.075 per share in exchange for the
cancellation of $1,250,000 of notes payable by two shareholders, Mr. Iehab
Hawatmeh (our president, a director and our principal shareholder) and Mr. Rajai
Hawatmeh. Of these shares, 15,333,333 were issued to Iehab Hawatmeh in exchange
for the cancellation of $1,150,000 in debt. As a result of this transaction, the
percentage of our common stock owned by Mr. Hawatmeh increased from 19.9% to
approximately 22.18%.
In February 2000, prior to its acquisition of Vermillion Ventures, Inc., a
public company, Circuit Technology, Inc., while still a private entity, redeemed
680,145 shares (as presently constituted) of common stock held by Raed Hawatmeh,
who was a director of Circuit Technology, Inc. at that time, in exchange for
$80,000 of expenses paid on behalf of the director. No other stated or unstated
rights, privileges, or agreements existed in conjunction with this redemption.
This transaction was consistent with other transactions where shares were
offered for cash.
In 1999, Circuit entered into an agreement with Cogent Capital Corp., or
"Cogent," a financial consulting firm, whereby Cogent agreed to assist and
provide consulting services to Circuit in connection with a possible merger or
acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, we issued 800,000
(pre-forward split) restricted shares (12,000,000 post-forward split shares) of
our common stock to Cogent in July 2000 in connection with our acquisition of
the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit. The principal of Cogent was
appointed a director of Circuit after entering into the financial consulting
agreement and resigned as a director prior to the acquisition of Circuit by
Vermillion Ventures, Inc. on July 1, 2000.
Also, as of December 31, 2004 the company owed I&R Properties, LLC, the previous
owner of our principal office and manufacturing facility for unpaid accrued rent
and accrued interest. The Company settled with owed I&R Properties, LLC., on
accrued rent and interest of $400,000 by issuing 10,000,000 shares of
unregistered common stock in March 2005.
Management believed at the time of each of these transactions and continues to
believe that each of these transactions were as fair to the Company as could
have been made with unaffiliated third parties.
Purchase of Interests in Landlord
On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into a Membership Acquisition Agreement
(the "Acquisition Agreement") with Rajayee Sayegh (the "Seller") for the
purchase of one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests in PFE
Properties LLC, a Utah limited liability company ("PFE"). Under the Acquisition
Agreement, the Company agreed to issue twenty million (20,000,000) shares of its
restricted common stock, with a fair value of $800,000 on the date of issuance.
No registration rights were granted. The shares were issued without registration
under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
The primary asset of PFE is its rights, titles and interests in and to a parcel
of real property, together with any improvements, rents and profits thereon or
associated therewith, located at 4125 S. 6000 W., West Valley City, Utah, 84128,
where the Company presently has its headquarters and manufacturing facility.
Prior to the purchase of the membership interests, on December 17, 2003, the
Company had entered into a ten-year lease with PFE for the property. The lease
payments were $16,974. Following the acquisition of the PFE interests, PFE will
continue to own the building, and the Company will continue to make lease
payments under the 2003 lease.

We have not paid, nor declared, any dividends on our common stock since our
inception and do not intend to declare any such dividends in the foreseeable
future. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations imposed by Nevada
law. Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid to the extent the corporation's
assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due
in the usual course of business.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In May 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Highgate
concerning the purchase and sale of the Convertible Debenture. The sale of the
Convertible Debenture to Highgate was made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, as a transaction not involving any public offering. No
advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities, and
the Convertible Debenture was issued to only one investor which represented that
it is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. Through September 21, 2005,
we had issued no shares of our common stock in connection with any conversions
of the Convertible Debentures, and we had received notice of no conversions from
Highgate. This registration statement is filed to register the resale of shares
into the market that Highgate will receive upon conversion of the Convertible
Debenture, and our issuances of shares to Highgate will be madewithout
registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
48
Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we were entitled to put to the
Equity Line Investor, in lieu of repayment of amounts drawn on the Equity Line,
shares of the Company's common stock. Although the Company filed a registration
statement to register the resale by the Equity Line Investor of the shares put
to it by the Company, the issuances of shares to the Company were made in
reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, as a transaction not involving any public offering. No advertising
or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities, and the shares
were issued to only one investor which represented that it is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933. Through December 31, 2003, we issued 64,253,508 shares
of common stock to the Equity Line Investor in connection with draws on the
Equity Line. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, and through August 31, 2004, we
issued an aggregate of 57,464,386 shares of Common Stock to the Equity Line
Investor in connection with draws on the Equity Line. We used the proceeds of
the draws on the Equity Line to pay outstanding liabilities, including notes to
Cornell, the Equity Line Investor, discussed above. As noted above, the Company
has terminated the Equity Line of Credit Agreement.
In December, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Abacas under which
the Company issued an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange
for cancellation of an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 in senior debt owed to the
creditors by the Company. The shares were issued with an exchange price of $0.05
per share, for the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The Company did not grant
registration rights to the four creditors. The shares were issued without
registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
In January, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Abacas under which
the Company issued an aggregate of 19,987,853 shares of common stock in exchange
for cancellation of an aggregate amount of $1,499,090 in senior debt owed to the
creditors by the Company. The shares were issued with an exchange price of
$0.075 per share, for the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The Company did not
grant registration rights to the four creditors. The shares were issued without
registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.
Penny Stock Rules
Our shares of common stock are subject to the "penny stock" rules of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules under this Act. In general
terms, "penny stock" is defined as any equity security that has a market price
less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that
any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is
registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified
criteria set by the SEC, authorized for quotation from the NASDAQ stock market,
issued by a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on
the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on the issuer's net
tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer's net tangible assets
must exceed $3,000,000 if in continuous operation for at least three years or
$5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the issuer's average
revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.
Trading in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice
requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in
general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain
institutional investors. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers
must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security
and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior
to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, the
rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure
document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,
and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be
sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. These rules may
restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our
common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of
shareholders to sell their shares.

2001 Stock Plan
The 2001 Stock Plan has been fully distributed.
2002 Stock Plan
The 2002 Stock Plan has been fully distributed.
2003 Stock Plan
In November 2003, our board approved and adopted our 2003 Stock Plan, or the
2003 Plan, subject to shareholder approval. An aggregate of 35,000,000 shares of
our common stock are subject to the 2003 Plan, which provides for grants to
employees, officers, directors and consultants of both non-qualified (or
non-statutory) stock options and "incentive stock options" (within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). The 2003 Plan
also provides for the grant of certain stock purchase rights, which are subject
to a purchase agreement between us and the recipient. The purpose of the 2003
Plan is to enable us to attract and retain the best available personnel for
positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to such
persons, and to promote the success of our business.
The 2003 Plan is administered by our board of directors, which designates from
time to time the individuals to whom awards are made under the 2003 Plan, the
amount of any such award and the price and other terms and conditions of any
such award. The 2003 Plan shall continue in effect until the date which is ten
years from the date of its adoption by the board of directors, subject to
earlier termination by our board. The board may suspend or terminate the 2003
Plan at any time.
The board determines the persons to whom options are granted, the option price,
the number of shares to be covered by each option, the period of each option,
the times at which options may be exercised and whether the option is an
incentive or non-statutory option. No employee may be granted options or stock
purchase rights under the 2003 Plan for more than an aggregate of 15,000,000
shares in any given fiscal year. We do not receive any monetary consideration
upon the granting of options. Options are exercisable in accordance with the
terms of an option agreement entered into at the time of grant.
The board may also award our shares of common stock under the 2003 Plan as stock
purchase rights. The board determines the persons to receive awards, the number
of shares to be awarded and the time of the award. Shares received pursuant to a
stock purchase right are subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions
determined by the board at the time the award is made, as evidenced by a
restricted stock purchase agreement.
52
As of April 8, 2005, 35,000,000 options to purchase shares of common stock and
no stock purchase rights had been granted under the 2003 Plan. Therefore, the
2003 Plan had been fully distributed.
2004 Stock Plan
In December 2004, our board approved and adopted our 2004 Stock Plan, or the
2004 Plan, subject to shareholder approval. An aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of
our common stock are subject to the 2003 Plan, which provides for grants to
employees, officers, directors and consultants of both non-qualified (or
non-statutory) stock options and "incentive stock options" (within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). The 2004 Plan
also provides for the grant of certain stock purchase rights, which are subject
to a purchase agreement between us and the recipient. The purpose of the 2004
Plan is to enable us to attract and retain the best available personnel for
positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to such
persons, and to promote the success of our business.
The 2004 Plan is administered by our board of directors, which designates from
time to time the individuals to whom awards are made under the 2004 Plan, the
amount of any such award and the price and other terms and conditions of any
such award. The 2004 Plan shall continue in effect until the date which is ten
years from the date of its adoption by the board of directors, subject to
earlier termination by our board. The board may suspend or terminate the 2004
Plan at any time.
The board determines the persons to whom options are granted, the option price,
the number of shares to be covered by each option, the period of each option,
the times at which options may be exercised and whether the option is an
incentive or non-statutory option. No employee may be granted options or stock
purchase rights under the 2004 Plan for more than an aggregate of 15,000,000
shares in any given fiscal year. We do not receive any monetary consideration
upon the granting of options. Options are exercisable in accordance with the
terms of an option agreement entered into at the time of grant.
The board may also award our shares of common stock under the 2004 Plan as stock
purchase rights. The board determines the persons to receive awards, the number
of shares to be awarded and the time of the award. Shares received pursuant to a
stock purchase right are subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions
determined by the board at the time the award is made, as evidenced by a
restricted stock purchase agreement.
As of September 21, 2005, 28,500,000 options to purchase shares of common stock
and no stock purchase rights have been granted under the 2004 Plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Directors and the Stockholders
CirTran Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CirTran
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for
the years then ended. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CirTran Corporation
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company sustained losses from operations,
had an accumulated deficit, had a stockholders' deficit, had negative working
capital, had negative cash flows from operations, and the Company is a defendant
in numerous legal actions. These matters raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards
to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Nature of Operations--CirTran Corporation (the "Company") provides turnkey
manufacturing services using surface mount technology, ball-grid array assembly,
pin-through-hole, and custom injection molded cabling for leading electronics
original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the communications, networking,
peripherals, gaming, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical,
and semiconductor industries. The Company also designs, develops, manufactures,
and markets a full line of local area network products, with emphasis on token
ring and Ethernet connectivity.
In June 2004, the Company incorporated CirTran-Asia, Inc., a Utah corporation,
as a wholly owned subsidiary. CirTran-Asia was formed to manufacture, either
directly or through foreign subcontractors, certain products under exclusive
manufacturing agreements. Other such agreements will be sought in the future.
Principles of Consolidation--The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of CirTran Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Racore
Technology Corporation and CirTran-Asia Inc. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition--Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. Title
passes to the customer or independent sales representative at the time of
shipment. Returns for defective items are repaired and sent back to the
customer. Historically, expenses experienced with such returns have not been
significant and have been recognized as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents--The Company considers all highly-liquid, short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Inventories-- Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market
value. Costs include labor, material and overhead costs. Overhead costs are
based on indirect costs allocated among cost of sales, work-in-process inventory
and finished goods inventory. Indirect overhead costs have been charged to cost
of sales or capitalized as inventory based on management's estimate of the
benefit of indirect manufacturing costs to the manufacturing process.
When there is evidence that the inventory's value is less than original cost,
the inventory is reduced to market value. The Company determines market value on
current resale amounts and whether technological obsolescence exists. The
Company has agreements with most of its customers that require the customer to
purchase inventory items related to their contracts in the event that the
contracts are cancelled.
Property and Equipment--Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate
the cost of depreciable assets to operations over the estimated service lives.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease
or the service life of the improvements. The straight-line method of
depreciation and amortization is followed for financial reporting purposes.
Maintenance, repairs, and renewals which neither materially add to the value of
the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as
incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included
in operating results.
F-8
Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, was
$249,394 and $300,520, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets--The Company reviews its long-lived assets,
including intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company
evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have
occurred that indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of
future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or group of assets
over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. As of
December 31, 2004, the Company did not consider any of its long-lived assets to
be impaired.
Checks Written in Excess of Cash in Bank--Under the Company's cash management
system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in overdraft
balances for accounting purposes. These overdrafts are included as a current
liability in the balance sheets.
Stock-Based Compensation-- At December 31, 2004, the Company had one stock-based
employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 12. The
Company accounts for the plan under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. During the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized compensation expense relating
to stock options and warrants of $226,250 and $137,500, respectively. During the
year ended December 31, 2004, the Company recognized compensation expense
relating to the issuance of common stock of $105,931. The following table
illustrates the effect on net loss and basic and diluted loss per common share
as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:

----------- ------------- ----------- -------------
Basic and diluted loss per common share pro forma $ (0.00) $ (0.01) $ (0.00) $ (0.01)
----------- ------------- ----------- -------------
Income Taxes--The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and the carryforward of operating losses and tax credits
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax
assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will
not be realized. Research tax credits are recognized as utilized.
F-9
Use of Estimates--In preparing the Company's financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Risk-- Financial instruments, which potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts
receivable. The Company sells substantially to recurring customers, wherein the
customer's ability to pay has previously been evaluated. The Company generally
does not require collateral. Allowances are maintained for potential credit
losses, and such losses have been within management's expectations. At December
31, 2004 and 2003, this allowance was $41,143 and $28,876, respectively.
During the year ended December 2004, sales to two customers accounted for 52
percent and 14 percent of net sales. No individual customer account receivable
balance at December 31, 2004 created a concentration of credit risk.
During the year ended December 2003, sales to two customers accounted for 29
percent and 11 percent of net sales. No individual customer account receivable
balance at December 31, 2003 created a concentration of credit risk.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments--The carrying value of the Company's cash
and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable approximates their fair
values due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company's notes
payable also approximates fair value because notes are recorded at fair value
plus any default provisions.
Loss Per Share--Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing loss available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during each period. Diluted loss per share is similarly calculated, except that
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common
shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential
when applicable. The Company had 14,250,500 and 3,850,500 in potentially
issuable common shares at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
potentially issuable common shares at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were excluded
from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effects are
anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Standards--In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs." SFAS No. 151 clarifies
the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted material (spoilage). The Company will be required to apply
this statement to inventory costs incurred after December 31, 2005. The Company
is currently evaluating what effect this statement will have on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchange of Non-monetary
Assets." SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Non-monetary
Transactions," to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar
productive assets. The Company will be required to apply this statement to
non-monetary exchanges after December 31, 2005. The adoption of this standard is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment," which is an amendment to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
F-10
Compensation." This new standard eliminates the ability to account for
share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board (APB)
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and requires such
transactions to be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and the
resulting cost recognized in the Company's financial statements. This new
standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December
15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 123 as revised and
intends to implement it in the first quarter of 2006 and does not anticipate
that the new standard will have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.
NOTE 2 - REALIZATION OF ASSETS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
However, the Company sustained losses of $658,322 and $2,910,978 for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and
2003, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,799,602 and $18,141,280,
respectively, and a total stockholders' deficit of $2,242,033 and $4,915,251,
respectively. The Company also had negative working capital of $3,558,826 and
$5,529,244 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In addition, the
Company used, rather than provided, cash in its operations in the amounts of
$1,680,054 and $1,123,818 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the Company is a defendant in numerous legal actions (see Note 9).
These matters may have a material impact on the Company's financial position,
although no assurance can be given regarding the effect of these matters in the
future.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of
a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its
financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain or replace present
financing, to acquire additional capital from investors, and to succeed in its
future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue in existence.
The Company's plans include working with vendors to convert trade payables into
long-term notes payable and common stock and cure defaults with lenders through
forbearance agreements that the Company will be able to service. During 2004 and
2003, the Company successfully converted trade payables of approximately
$711,894 and $2,986, respectively, into notes. The Company intends to continue
to pursue this type of debt conversion going forward with other creditors.
The Company's plans include working with vendors to convert trade payables into
long-term notes payable and common stock, and to cure defaults with lenders
through forbearance agreements that the Company will be able to service. During
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company successfully converted
trade payables, notes payable, and accrued interest of approximately $1,263,713
and $2,986, respectively, into notes payable to Abacas Ventures, Inc.
("Abacas"). Accrued interest of $27,020 associated with the notes payable was
not converted to the note payable with Abacas; therefore, a gain on forgiveness
of debt was recorded for $27,020 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The
Company intends to continue to pursue this type of debt conversion going forward
with other creditors. As discussed in Note 10, the Company has entered into an
equity line of credit agreement with a private investor. Realization of
F-11
additional proceeds under the agreement is not assured.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES AT COST
On April 13, 2004, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with an
unrelated party under which the Company purchased 400,000 shares of the
investee's Series B Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") for an aggregate
purchase price of $300,000 cash. This purchase was made at fair value. The
Preferred Shares are convertible, at the Company's option, into an equivalent
number of shares of investee common stock, subject to adjustment. The Preferred
Shares are not redeemable by the investee. As a holder of the Preferred Shares,
the Company has the right to vote the number of shares of investee common stock
into which the Preferred Shares are convertible at the time of the vote. The
investment represents less than a 5% interest in the investee. The investment
does not have a readily determinable fair value and is stated at historical
cost, less an allowance for impairment when circumstances indicate an investment
has been impaired. The Company periodically evaluates its investments as to
whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible
impairment. No indicators of impairment were noted for the year ended December
31, 2004.
Separate from the purchase of the Preferred Shares, the Company and the investee
also entered into a Preferred Manufacturing Agreement. Under this agreement, the
Company will perform exclusive "turn-key" manufacturing services handling most
of the investee's manufacturing operations from material procurement to complete
finished box-build of all of investee products. The initial term of the
agreement is three years, continuing month to month thereafter unless terminated
by either party. Sales under this agreement totaled $538,233 for the year ended
December 31, 2004.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
During the 2004, the Company successfully converted five notes payable and
accrued interest of $551,819 into notes with Abacas (see Note 2). Accrued
interest of $27,020 associated with these notes payable was not converted to the
note payable with Abacas; therefore, a gain on forgiveness of debt was recorded
for $27,020 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
In March 2004, the Company settled a note payable with a financial institution.
The outstanding loan balance and accrued interest at the time of settlement was

F-14
Certain of the Company's notes payable contain various covenants and
restrictions, including providing for the acceleration of principal payments in
the event of a covenant violation or a material adverse change in the operations
of the Company. The Company is out of compliance on several notes payable,
primarily due to a failure to make monthly payments. In instances where the
Company is out of compliance, these amounts have been shown as current.
Additionally, all default provisions have been accrued as part of the principal
balance of the related notes payable.
Notes Payable to Equity Line Investor -- During 2003, the Company borrowed a
total of $1,830,000 from Cornell Capital Partners, LP, pursuant to nine
unsecured promissory notes. The loans were made and the notes were issued from
June 2003 through December 2003. In lieu of interest, the Company paid fees to
the lender, ranging from 5% to 10%, of the amount of the loan. These fees have
been recorded as interest expense. The fees were negotiated in each instance and
agreed upon by the Company and by the lender and its affiliate. The notes were
repayable over periods ranging from 70 days to 131 days. Each of the notes
stated that if the Company did not repay the notes when due, a default interest
rate of 24% would apply to the unpaid balance. Through December 31, 2003, the
Company directed the repayment of $1,180,000 of these notes from proceeds
generated under the Equity Line Agreement, discussed in Note 11 below. At
December 31, 2003, the balance owing on these notes was $650,000. All notes were
paid when due or before, and at no time did the Company incur the 24% penalty
interest rate.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company borrowed an additional
$3,200,000, before offering costs of $273,000, from Cornell, pursuant to four
additional unsecured promissory notes. In lieu of interest, the Company paid
fees at closing of 4% to 5% of the loan amount to an affiliate of the lender.
These fees have been recorded as interest expense. The fees were negotiated in
each instance and agreed upon by the Company and by the lender and its
affiliate. The notes were repayable over periods ranging from 88 days to 193
days. Each of the notes stated that if the Company did not repay the notes when
due, a default interest rate of 24% would apply to the unpaid balance. Through
December 31, 2004, the Company directed the repayment of $2,150,000 of these
notes from proceeds generated under the Equity Line Agreement, discussed in Note
7 below. At December 31, 2004, the balance owing on these notes was $1,700,000.
NOTE 7 - LEASES
The Company conducts a substantial portion of its operations utilizing leased
facilities consisting of a warehouse and a manufacturing plant. The lease was
originally with a related party. In December of 2003, the related party sold the
facilities to an unrelated party. The Company entered into a new ten-year lease
agreement with an unrelated party. As described in Note 15, the Company
purchased the entity that owns the building in March 2005 (unaudited).
F-15
The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under the operating
lease:
Year Ending December 31,
-------------------
2005 225,480
2006 215,492
2007 203,688
2008 203,688
Thereafter 1,018,440
-------------------
Total $ 1,866,788
-------------------
The building lease provides for payment of property taxes, insurance, and
maintenance costs by the Company. Rental expense for operating leases totaled
$213,688 and $200,492 for 2004 and 2003, respectively.
NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Notes Payable to Stockholder -- The Company had amounts due to stockholders from
three separate notes. The balance due to stockholders at December 31, 2004 and
2003, was $18,586 and $31,838, respectively. Interest associated with amounts
due to stockholders is accrued at 10 percent. Unpaid accrued interest was $7,976
and $6,900 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and is included in
accrued liabilities. These notes are due on demand.
Notes Payable to Related Party -- The Company had amounts due to Abacas
Ventures, Inc., a related party, under the terms of a note payable and a bridge
loan.
During 2002, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement with Abacas. This
agreement allows the Company to request funds from Abacas to finance the
build-up of inventory relating to specific sales. The loan bears interest at 24%
and is payable on demand. There are no required monthly payments. During the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company was advanced $3,128,281 and
$350,000, respectively, and made cash payments of $3,025,149 and $875,000,
respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, Abacas completed negotiations with
several vendors of the Company, whereby Abacas purchased various past due
amounts for goods and services provided by vendors, as well as notes payable
(see Note 6). The total of these obligations was $1,263,713. The Company has
recorded this transaction as a $1,263,713 non-cash increase to the note payable
owed to Abacas, pursuant to the terms of the Abacas agreement.
The total principal amount owed to Abacas between the note payable and the
bridge loan was $1,530,587 and $163,742 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The total accrued interest owed to Abacas between the note payable
and the bridge loan was $430,828 and $230,484 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities.
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Settlement of Litigation -- During January 2002, the Company settled a lawsuit
that had alleged a breach of facilities sublease agreement involving facilities
located in Colorado. The Company's liability in this action was originally
estimated to range up to $2.5 million. The Company had filed a counter suit in
the same court for an amount exceeding $500,000 for missing equipment.
F-16
Effective January 18, 2002, the Company entered into a settlement agreement
which required the Company to pay the plaintiff the sum of $250,000. Of this
amount, $25,000 was paid upon execution of the settlement, and the balance,
together with interest at 8% per annum, was payable by July 18, 2002. As
security for payment of the balance, the Company executed and delivered to the
plaintiff a Confession of Judgment and also issued 3,000,000 shares of common
stock, which are currently held in escrow and have been treated as treasury
stock recorded at no cost. The fair value of the 3,000,000 shares was less than
the carrying amount of the note payable. Because 75 percent of the balance had
not been paid by May 18, 2002, the Company was required to prepare and file with
the Securities & Exchange Commission, at its own expense, a registration
statement with respect to the escrowed shares. The remaining balance has not
been paid, and the registration statement with respect to the escrowed shares
has not been declared effective and the Company has not replaced the escrowed
shares with registered free-trading shares pursuant to the terms of the
settlement agreement; therefore, the plaintiff filed the Confession of Judgment
and proceeded with execution thereon. The Company is currently negotiating with
the plaintiff to settle this obligation without the release of the shares held
in escrow.
In connection with a separate sublease agreement of these facilities, the
Company received a settlement from the sublessee during May 2002, in the amount
of $152,500, which has been recorded as other income. The Company did not
receive cash from this settlement, but certain obligations of the Company were
paid directly. $109,125 of the principal balance of the note related to the
settlement mentioned above was paid. Also, $7,000 was paid to the Company's
legal counsel as a retainer for future services. The remaining $36,375 was paid
to the above mentioned plaintiff as a settlement of rent expense.
During September 2002, the plaintiff filed a claim that the $109,125 portion of
the payment was to be applied as additional rent expense rather than a principal
payment on the note payable. The Company estimates that the probability of the
$109,125 being considered additional rent expense is remote and disputes the
claim. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action.
On April 14, 2004, an unrelated party filed a claim against the Company alleging
that the Company stopped paying amounts due under a note entered into in June
1998. The suit claimed $90,500 plus fees and costs. During May 2004, the Company
settled this claim by issuing 1,000,000 shares of common which resulted in a
settlement expense of $60,000.
Litigation - During 2000, the Company settled a lawsuit filed by a vendor by
issuing 5,281,050 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $324,284,
paying $83,000 in cash and issuing two notes payable totaling $239,000. During
2002, the vendor filed a confession of judgment, in the amount of $519,052,
claiming that the Company defaulted on its agreement and claims the 2000 lawsuit
was not properly satisfied. At December 31, 2003, the Company owed $60,133 of
principal under the terms of the remaining note payable. During November 2004,
the Company settled the principal and accrued interest of the remaining note
payable for $75,000. The balance was settled for $50,000 in cash and 1,000,000
shares of common stock valued at $25,000, based on the per share fair value of
the Company's common stock on the date of issuance.
During 2003 and 2004, an investment firm filed suits in the U.S. District Court,
District of Utah seeking finders fees, consisting of common stock valued at
$1,750,000 for allegedly introducing the Company to the Equity Line Investor
(Note 11). The case was previously dismissed in a New York court. The Company
estimates that the risk of loss is remote, therefore no accrual has been made.
In December 1999, a vendor of the Company filed a lawsuit that alleges breach of
contract and seeks payment in the amount of approximately $213,000 of punitive
damages from the Company related to the Company's non-payment for materials
provided by the vendor. Judgment was entered against the Company in May 2002 in
F-17
the amount of $213,718. During 2004, this claim was purchased by Abacas and
recorded as an increase to the amount owed to Abacas under the terms of the
bridge loan.
During October 1999, a former vendor of the Company brought action against the
Company alleging that the Company owed approximately $199,600 for materials and
services and pursuant to the terms of a promissory note. The Company entered a
settlement agreement under which the Company is to pay $6,256 each month until
the obligation and interest thereon are paid. This did not represent the
forgiveness of any obligation, but rather the restructuring of the terms of the
previous agreement. At December 31, 2003, the Company owed $183,429 for this
settlement. The Company has defaulted on its payment obligations under the
settlement agreement. During 2004, this claim was purchased by Abacas and
recorded as an increase to the amount owed to Abacas under the terms of the
bridge loan.
Judgment was entered in favor of a vendor during March 2002, in the amount of
$181,342 for nonpayment of costs of goods or services provided to the Company.
At December 31, 2003, the Company had accrued the entire amount of the claim.
During 2004, this claim was purchased by Abacas and recorded as an increase to
the amount owed to Abacas under the terms of the bridge loan.
In December 1999, a vendor of the Company filed a lawsuit that seeks payment in
the amount of $44,269 for the cost of goods provided to the Company. The Company
admits owing certain amounts to the vendor and has accrued the entire amount
claimed as of December 31, 2003. During 2004, this claim was purchased by Abacas
and recorded as an increase to the amount owed to Abacas under the terms of the
bridge loan.
During 2002, a vendor of the Company filed a lawsuit that seeks payment in the
amount of $31,745 for the cost of goods provided to the Company. The Company has
accrued the entire amount claimed. During 2004, this claim was purchased by
Abacas and recorded as an increase to the amount owed to Abacas under the terms
of the bridge loan.
An individual filed suit during January 2001, seeking to recover the principal
sum of $135,941, plus interest on a promissory note. During 2004, this claim was
purchased by Abacas and recorded as an increase to the amount owed to Abacas
under the terms of the bridge loan.
During March 2000, a vendor brought suit against the Company under allegations
that the Company owed approximately $97,000 for the cost of goods or services
provided to the Company for the Company's use and benefit. The Company issued a
note payable to the vendor in settlement of the amount owed and is required to
pay the vendor $1,972 each month until paid. At December 31, 2003, the Company
owed $87,632 on this settlement agreement. During 2004, this claim was purchased
by Abacas and recorded as an increase to the amount owed to Abacas under the
terms of the bridge loan.
A financial institution brought suit against the Company during February 2000,
alleging that the Company owed approximately $439,000 for a loan provided to the
Company for the Company's use and benefit. Judgment was entered against the
Company and certain guarantors in the amount of $427,292 plus interest at the
rate of 8.61% per annum from June 27, 2000. The Company has made payments to the
financial institution, reducing the obligation to $215,516 at December 31, 2003,
plus interest accruing from January 1, 2002. In March 2004, the balance was
settled for $90,000 in cash and 542,495 shares of common stock valued at
$30,000, based on the per share fair value of the Company's common stock on the
date of issuance.
F-18
Suit was brought against the Company during April 2001, by a former shareholder
alleging that the Company owed $121,825 under the terms of a promissory note. A
Stipulation for Settlement and for Entry of Judgment was executed by the parties
wherein the Company agreed to arrange for payment of a principal amount of
$145,000 in 48 monthly installments. The Company made seven payments and then
failed to make subsequent payments, at which time the shareholder obtained a
consent judgment against the Company. In December 2004, the Company settled the
balance outstanding for $120,000 in cash.
A financial institution brought suit against the Company in June 2003 for the
non-payment of $39,367 under the terms of a note payable. The balance was
settled for $10,000 in cash. A gain on forgiveness of debt of $26,902 was
recorded on this transaction.
Various vendors have notified the Company that they believe they have claims
against the Company totaling $147,592. None of these vendors have filed lawsuits
in relation to these claims. The Company has accrued the entire amount of these
claims and they are included in accounts payable.
In addition, various vendors have notified the Company that they believe they
have claims against the Company totaling $159,308. The Company has determined
the probability of realizing any loss is remote. The Company has made no accrual
for these claims and is currently in the process of negotiating the dismissal of
these claims with the various vendors.
The Company is also the defendant in numerous immaterial legal actions primarily
resulting from nonpayment of vendors for goods and services received. The
Company has accrued the payables and is currently in the process of negotiating
settlements with these vendors.
Registration Rights - In connection with the conversion of certain debt to
equity during 2000, the Company has granted the holders of 5,281,050 shares of
common stock the right to include 50% of the common stock of the holders in any
registration of common stock of the Company, under the Securities Act for offer
to sell to the public (subject to certain exceptions). The Company has also
agreed to keep any filed registration statement effective for a period of 180
days at its own expense.
Additionally, in connection with the Company's entering into an Equity Line of
Credit Agreement (described in Note 11), the Company granted to the equity line
investor (the "Equity Line Investor") registration rights, in connection with
which the Company is required to file a registration statement covering the
resale of shares put to the Equity Line Investor under the equity line. The
Company is also required to keep the registration statement effective until two
years following the date of the last advance under the equity line.
Also, in connection with the Company's entering into a standby equity
distribution agreement (described in Note 11), the Company granted to the
investor registration rights, in connection with which the Company is required
to file a registration statement covering the resale of shares put to the
investor under the standby equity distribution agreement. The Company is also
required to keep the registration statement effective until two years following
the date of the last advance under the standby equity distribution agreement.
The Company has not yet had such registration statement declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accrued Payroll Tax Liabilities -- In November 2004, the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) accepted the Company's Amended Offer in Compromise (Offer) to
settle delinquent payroll taxes, interest and penalties. The acceptance of the
Offer required the Company to pay $500,000 by February 3, 2005. Additionally,

the Company must remain current in its payment of taxes for 5 years, and may not
claim any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015, or until the
Company pays taxes in an amount equal to the taxes waived by the offer in
compromise. The Company made the required payment on February 2, 2005. The
outstanding balance of delinquent payroll taxes, interest and penalties was
$1,955,767 on the settlement date. The future cash payments specified by the
offer, including interest and principal, were less than the carrying amount of
the payable; therefore the Company reduced the carrying amount of the liability
to the total future cash payments of $500,000 and recorded a gain $1,455,767.
Further, the Utah State Tax Commission has entered into an agreement to allow
the Company to pay the liability owing to the State of Utah in equal monthly
installments of $4,000 over a two-year period running through December 2005.
Through December 2004, the Company had made the required payments. The balance
owed to the State of Utah as of December 31, 2004, was $223,660, including
penalties and interest.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company had accrued liabilities in the amount of
$2,107,930 for delinquent payroll taxes, including interest estimated at
$393,311 and penalties estimated at $230,927. Of this amount, approximately
$329,739 was due the State of Utah. Approximately $1,767,253 was owed to the
Internal Revenue Service as of December 31, 2003. Approximately $10,939 was owed
to the State of Colorado as of December 31, 2003.
Marketing Agreement -- On October 1, 2004, the Company signed an agreement with
a marketing firm to provide strategic planning advice. The term of the agreement
was for six months from October 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005. The agreement
shall be automatically extended for successive six month periods unless either
party gives written notice of its intent not to renew the agreement. The Company
will pay the marketing firm a commission of ten percent of all net proceeds from
any new business brought to the Company by the marketing firm. Net proceeds are
defined in the agreement as payments actually received by the Company from new
business (net of returns, discounts, and rebates) from which costs of sales is
subtracted. The Company also agreed to pay $7,500 to the marketing firm during
each of the first three months of the agreement. These payments were
nonrefundable, but may be applied toward future commissions earned.
Manufacturing Agreement -- On June 10, 2004, the Company entered into an
exclusive manufacturing agreement with certain Developers. Under the terms of
the agreement, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CirTran-Asia has
the exclusive right to manufacture the certain products developed by the
Developers or any of their affiliates. The Developers will continue to provide
marketing and consulting services related to the products under the agreement.
Should the Developers early terminate the agreement, they must pay the Company
$150,000. Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. Title passes to the
customer or independent sales representative at the time of shipment.
In connection with this agreement the Company has agreed to issue options to
purchase 1,500,000 shares common stock to the Developers upon the sale, shipment
and payment for 200,000 units of a fitness product. In addition, the Company
agreed to issue options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock to the
Developers for each multiple of 100,000 units of the fitness product sold in
excess of the initial 200,000 units within twenty-four months of the agreement
(June 2004). The options will be exercisable at $0.06 per share, vest on the
grant date and expire one year after issuance. As of December 31, 2004, the
Company had sold, shipped and received payment for, 191,702 units of the fitness
product. Because the Developers must provide future services for the options to
vest, the options are treated as unissued for accounting purposes. The cost of
these options will be recognized when the options are earned. See Note 15 for
subsequent issuance of options.
F-20
In connection with the above manufacturing agreement, the Company agreed to
issue various options to purchase shares of common stock to the Developers upon
the sale, shipment, and payment of certain quantities of additional the
products. In addition, the Company agreed to issue additional options to
purchase common stock to the developers for each multiple of units sold in
excess of the initial units within the first twenty-four months of the
agreements. The schedule of units and potential options that will be issued
follows:

As of December 31, 2004, the Company had manufactured only nominal quantities of
the additional products under these agreements. Because the Developers must
provide future services for the options to vest, the options are treated as
unissued for accounting purposes. The cost of these options will be recognized
when the options are earned.
NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
The Company has paid no federal or state income taxes during the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003. The significant components of the Company's deferred
tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2004 and 2003, are as follows:
2004 2003
---------------------- --------------------
Deferred Income Tax Assets:
Inventory reserve $ 266,026 $ 261,177
Bad debt reserve 15,346 10,771
Vacation reserve 26,809 26,177
Research and development credits 27,285 26,360
Net operating loss carryforward 4,597,493 4,465,571
Depreciation 2,668
Intellectual property 115,581 130,067
---------------------- --------------------
Total Deferred Income Tax Assets 5,051,208 4,920,123
Valuation allowance (5,051,208) (4,843,751)
Deferred Income Tax Liability - depreciation - (76,372)
---------------------- --------------------
Net Deferred Income Tax Asset $ - $ -
---------------------- --------------------
F-21
The Company has sufficient long-term deferred income tax assets to offset the
deferred income tax liability related to depreciation. The long-term deferred
income tax assets relate to the net operating loss carryforward and the
intellectual property.
The Company has sustained net operating losses in both periods presented. There
were no deferred tax assets or income tax benefits recorded in the financial
statements for net deductible temporary differences or net operating loss
carryforwards because the likelihood of realization of the related tax benefits
cannot be established. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to
reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero and consequently, there is no income
tax provision or benefit presented for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
tax reporting purposes of approximately $12,325,719. These net operating loss
carryforwards, if unused, begin to expire in 2019. As discussed in Note 9, the
Company may not claim any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015
due to the Offer accepted by the IRS. Utilization of approximately $1,193,685 of
the total net operating loss is dependent on the future profitable operation of
Racore Technology Corporation under the separate return limitation rules and
limitations on the carryforward of net operating losses after a change in
ownership.
The following is a reconciliation of the amount of tax benefit that would result
from applying the federal statutory rate to pretax loss with the benefit from
income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003:
2004 2003
------------------- -------------------
Benefit at statuatory rate (34%) $ (223,829) $ (989,733)
Non-deductible expenses 38,099 37,225

shares and 1,000,000 shares of common stock in 2004 with a fair value of $30,000
and $25,000, respectively, based on the per share fair value of the Company's
common stock on the dates of issuance, as part of a settlement agreements for
notes payable.
As discussed in Note 9, during 2004, the Company settled a legal claim by
issuing 1,000,000 shares of common which resulted in a settlement expense of
$60,000, which was the fair value of the shares issued based on the per share
fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance.
During 2004, the Company issued 45,273,989 shares of the Company's restricted
common stock to officers of the Company. The shares were valued at $543,288
F-22
based on the fair value of the Company's stock on the date of issuance. The
shares were issued as settlement of accrued compensation of $431,770, accrued
interest of $5,587, and compensation of $105,931.
During 2003, the Company issued 500,000 shares of the Company's restricted
common stock to a relative of a director for $10,000 of accrued compensation
owed to the director, based on the per share fair value of $0.02 per share of
the Company's common stock on the date of issuance.
Equity Line of Credit Agreement -On November 5, 2002, the Company entered into
an Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Equity Line Agreement") with Cornell
Capital Partners, LP, a private investor ("Cornell"). The Company subsequently
terminated the Equity Line Agreement, and on April 8, 2003, the Company entered
into an amended equity line agreement (the "Amended Equity Line Agreement") with
Cornell. Under the Amended Equity Line Agreement, the Company has the right to
draw up to $5,000,000 from Cornell against an equity line of credit (the "Equity
Line"), and to put to Cornell shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of
repayment of the draw. The number of shares to be issued is determined by
dividing the amount of the draw by the lowest closing bid price of our common
stock over the five trading days after the advance notice is tendered. Cornell
is required under the Amended Equity Line Agreement to tender the funds
requested by the Company within two trading days after the five-trading-day
period used to determine the market price.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company drew an aggregate amount of
$2,150,000 under the Equity Line Agreement, pursuant to draws on the equity
line, net of fees of $86,000, and issued a total of 57,464,386 shares of common
stock to Cornell under the Equity Line Agreement. At the Company's direction,
Cornell retained the proceeds of the draws under the Equity Line Agreement and
applied them as payments on the notes to Cornell, discussed in Note 6 above.
Pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement, in connection with each draw the Company
agreed to pay a fee of 4% of the amount of the draw to Cornell as consideration
for its providing the Equity Line. Total fees paid for the year ended December
31, 2004 were $128,000. These fees were withheld from proceeds of notes payable
(see Note 6) and are in addition to fees paid in relation to those notes. Of
these payments, $86,000 was offset against additional paid in capital as shares
were issued under the Equity Line Agreement and $68,000 was classified as
deferred offering costs at December 31, 2004.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company drew an aggregate amount of
$1,180,000 under the Equity Line Agreement, pursuant to draws on the equity
line, net of fees of $47,200 and prior offering costs of $44,228, and issued a
total of 64,253,508 shares of common stock to Cornell under the Equity Line
Agreement. At the Company's direction, Cornell retained the proceeds of the
draws under the Equity Line Agreement and applied them as payments on the notes
to Cornell, discussed in Note 6 above.
Pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement, in connection with each draw the Company
agreed to pay a fee of 4% of the amount of the draw to Cornell as consideration
for its providing the Equity Line. Total fees paid for the year ended December
31, 2003 were $73,200. Of these payments, $47,200 was offset against additional
paid in capital as shares were issued under the Equity Line Agreement and
$26,000 was classified as deferred offering costs at December 31, 2003. These
deferred offering costs were offset against additional paid in capital as shares
were issued under the Equity Line Agreement subsequent to December 31, 2003.
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement - The Company entered into a Standby
Equity Distribution Agreement dated May 21, 2004, with Cornell. Under the
Agreement, the Company has the right, at its sole discretion, to draw up to $20
million on the standby equity facility (the "SEDA Facility") and put to Cornell
F-23
shares of its common stock in lieu of repayment of the draws. The number of
shares to be issued in connection with each draw is determined by dividing the
amount of the draw by the lowest volume-weighted average price of our common
stock during the five consecutive trading days after the advance is sought. The
maximum advance amount is $1,000,000 per advance, with a minimum of seven
trading days between advances. Cornell will retain 5% of each advance as a fee
under the Agreement. The term of the Agreement runs over a period of twenty-four
months after a registration statement related to the Agreement is declared
effective or until the full $20 million has been drawn, whichever comes first.
The Company intends to terminate the Equity Line of Credit Agreement and cease
further draws or issuances of shares in connection with the Equity Line
Agreement when it is able to draw against the SEDA Facility, which will be when
the SEC declares effective a registration statement registering resale by
Cornell of shares issued under the SEDA Facility. The SEC has not yet declared
the registration statement effective.
NOTE 12- STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock options issued to
directors, officers and employees under APB No. 25 and related interpretations.
Under APB 25, compensation expense is recognized if an option's exercise price
on the measurement date is below the fair value of the Company's common stock.
For options that provide for cashless exercise or that have been modified, the
measurement date is considered the date the options are exercised or expire.
Those options are accounted for as variable options with compensation adjusted
each period based on the difference between the market value of the common stock
and the exercise price of the options at the end of the period. The Company
accounts for options and warrants issued to non-employees, including the
developers mentioned in Note 5, at their fair value in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123").
Stock Option Plan - During February 2003, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock
Option Plan (the "2002 Plan") with 25,000,000 shares of common stock reserved

reserved for issuance there under. Also, during December 2004, the Company
adopted the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the "2004 Plan") with 40,000,000 shares of

administers the plans and has discretion in determining the employees,
directors, independent contractors and advisors who receive awards, the type of
awards (stock, incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options) granted,
and the term, vesting, and exercise prices.
Non-Employee Grants - During 2004, the Company granted options to purchase
6,500,000 shares of common stock to attorneys for services at exercise prices of
$0.0001 per share. The options were all five year options and vested on the
dates granted. Legal expense of $209,952 was recorded for the fair value of
options issued during 2004. 5,000,000 of these options were exercised in 2004
for cash proceeds of $500. An additional 500,000 of previously issued options
were exercised in 2004 for cash proceeds of $50. A total of 3,000,500
non-employee options were outstanding as of December 31, 2004.
During 2003, the Company granted options to purchase 5,250,000 shares of common
stock to non-employees for services, prepaid services and in settlement of
amounts owed for previous services at exercise prices of $0.0001 per share. The

$0.03 per share. Non-cash compensation relating to the grant of these options
was recognized for $125,000 during 2004, based upon the intrinsic value of
options on the grant date. 14,250,000 of these options were exercised during
2004 for $111,500 of cash, $101,250 of compensation and $61,000 of accrued
compensation. The $101,250 of compensation was recorded in conjunction with the
cashless exercise of 4,500,000 of the options. A total of 11,250,000 employee
options were outstanding as of December 31, 2004.
During, 2003, the Company granted options to purchase 40,750,000 shares of

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
Notes Payable - On January 28, 2005 the Company issued an additional promissory
note to the Equity Line Investor in the amount of $565,000, with a 9% premium of
$50,850, in exchange for $503,500 of cash proceeds and $61,500 of loan costs.
The loan costs will be amortized over the one year life of the note. The note
bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum. Interest only payments are due for
the first six months of the note, after which the Company will be required to
pay $94,167 plus accrued interest, plus a portion of the premium each month
until the note is paid in full.
Stock Options - On January 12, 2005 the Company granted options to purchase
6,000,000 and 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to directors and
employees of the Company, respectively. These options were five year options
that vested immediately and had an exercise price of $0.027 per share. The
exercise price of the options equaled the fair value of the common shares on the
date of grant therefore the options had no intrinsic value. The Company
estimated the fair value of the options at the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used in the
Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the options to purchase a
share of common stock of $0.01: risk-free interest rate of 3.72 percent,
dividend yield of 0 percent, volatility of 278 percent, and expected lives of
0.10 years.
During January 2005, directors and employees exercised options to purchase
8,000,000 shares of commons stock with a weighted average exercise price of
$0.02 per share. These options were exercised for consideration consisting of
$37,500 in cash, $69,000 in compensation, $59,000 in accrued wages and bonuses,
and $18,500 in notes to shareholders.
In connection with the Cirtran Asia manufacturing agreement discussed in Note 9,
the Company agreed to issue options to purchase 1,500,000 shares common stock to
the Developers upon the sale, shipment and payment for 200,000 units of a
fitness product. The Company met this level of sales during January 2005 and the
options were issued at that time. The options are exercisable at $0.06 per
share, vested on the grant date and expire one year after issuance. The Company
estimated the fair value of the options at the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used in the
Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the options to purchase a
share of common stock of $0.043: risk-free interest rate of 4.00 percent,
dividend yield of 0 percent, volatility of 302 percent, and expected lives of
0.10 years. This resulted in $64,581 of expense which has been classified as
cost of sales.
On January 5, 2005, 1,500,000 options to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock, held by the Company's legal councel, were exercised for proceeds of $150.
F-28
Stockholders' Equity - On March 22, 2005, the Company issued 51,250,000 shares
of the Company's restricted common stock for $2,050,000 of principal and accrued
interest related to the related party note payable to Abacas. Because Abacas is
a related party, no gain or loss on forgiveness of debt will be recognized.
On March 22, 2005, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of the Company's
restricted common stock for $400,000 of accrued rent and accrued interest owed
to the former owner of the facilities leased by the Company. The entity that
formerly owned the facilities is a related party through common ownership.
Because the former landlord is a related party, no gain or loss on forgiveness
of debt will be recognized.
On March 31, 2005, the Company purchased a 100% interest in PFE Properties LLC
(PFE). PFE was previously owned by an unrelated party. PFE owns the land and
building in which the Company's manufacturing facilities and administrative
offices are located. The liabilities of PFE on the date of acquisition include a
mortgage note payable of $1,050,000, secured by the building. The Company
acquired PFE by issuing 20,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common
stock with a fair value of $680,000 on the date of acquisition.

Q-5
CIRTRAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Condensed Financial Statements -- The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CirTran Corporation
and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). These financial statements are condensed
and, therefore, do not include all disclosures normally required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. In particular, the
Company's significant accounting principles were presented as Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements in that Annual Report. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included
in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of
only normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations presented in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months
ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full year ending December 31, 2005.
Principles of Consolidation -- On March 31, 2005, Cirtran Corporation acquired a
100% ownership interest in PFE Properties, LLC (see Note 4).
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CirTran
Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Racore Technology Corporation
and CirTran-Asia Inc. The accounts of PFE Properties, LLC have been included as
of June 30, 2005. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Stock-Based Compensation -- At June 30, 2005, the Company has one stock-based
employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 10. The
Company accounts for the plan under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, ("APB 25") and related
interpretations. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company
recognized compensation expense relating to stock options and warrants of
$69,000 and $78,750, respectively. The following table illustrates the effect on
net loss and basic and diluted loss per common share as if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to
stock-based employee compensation:

Patents -- Legal fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining patents in
the United States and other countries are capitalized. Patents costs are
Q-6
amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent. During the six months
ended June 30, 2005, the Company capitalized $35,799 in patent related legal
costs. Amortization expense was $3,837 during the six months ended June 30,
2005.
The realization of patents and other long-lived assets is evaluated periodically
when events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover the
carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying
amount over the fair value of the asset or the group of assets. Fair value is
determined based on expected discounted net future cash flows. The analysis
necessarily involves significant management judgment to evaluate the capacity of
an asset to perform within projections. As required, an evaluation of impairment
was made on the patents as of June 30, 2005. No indicators of impairment were
noted.
NOTE 2 - REALIZATION OF ASSETS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The
Company had net income of $264,501 for the six months ended June 30, 2005,
compared to a net loss of $658,322 for the year ended December 31, 2004. As of
June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$18,535,101 and $18,799,602, respectively, and a total stockholders' equity
(deficit) of $2,151,136 and $(2,242,033), respectively. The Company also had
negative working capital of $62,852 and $3,558,826 as of June 30, 2005, and
December 31, 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company used, rather than
provided, cash in its operations in the amounts of $969,258 and $1,680,054 for
the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the year ended December 31, 2004,
respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the Company is a defendant in numerous legal actions (see Note 7).
These matters may have a material impact on the Company's financial position,
although no assurance can be given regarding the effect of these matters in the
future.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of
a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its
financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain or replace present
financing, to acquire additional capital from investors, and to succeed in its
future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue in existence.
As discussed in Note 10, the Company had entered into an equity line of credit
agreement and a standby equity distribution agreement with a private investor.
With the sale by the Company of the Convertible Debenture in May 2005, this and
all other agreements relating to the equity line and the standby equity
distribution agreement were terminated. (See Note 9.)

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF PFE PROPERTIES, LLC
On March 31, 2005, the Company purchased a 100% interest in PFE Properties LLC
(PFE). PFE was previously owned by a relative of the President and CEO. PFE owns
the land and building in which the Company's manufacturing facilities and
administrative offices are located. The liabilities of PFE on the date of
acquisition include a mortgage note payable of $1,050,000, secured by the
building. The Company acquired PFE by issuing 20,000,000 shares of the Company's
restricted common stock with a fair value of $800,000 on the date of acquisition
and assuming the mortgage note payable of $1,050,000 and accounts payable of
$18,974. The results of operations for PFE have been included beginning March
31, 2005. The additional $800,000 for the purchase of PFE was allocated between
the land and building value.
The balance sheet of PFE as of March 31, 2005 is presented as follows:

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES AT COST
On April 13, 2004, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with an
unrelated party under which the Company purchased 400,000 shares of the
investee's Series B Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") for an aggregate
purchase price of $300,000 cash. This purchase was made at fair value. The
Preferred Shares are convertible, at the Company's option, into an equivalent
number of shares of investee common stock, subject to adjustment. The Preferred
Shares are not redeemable by the investee. As a holder of the Preferred Shares,
the Company has the right to vote the number of shares of investee common stock
into which the Preferred Shares are convertible at the time of the vote. The
investment represents less than a 5% interest in the investee. The investment
does not have a readily determinable fair value and is stated at historical
cost, less an allowance for impairment when circumstances indicate an investment
has been impaired. The Company periodically evaluates its investments as to
whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible
impairment. No indicators of impairment were noted for the six months ended June
30, 2005.
Separate from the purchase of the Preferred Shares, the Company and the investee
also entered into a Preferred Manufacturing Agreement. Under this agreement, the
Company will perform exclusive "turn-key" manufacturing services handling most
of the investee's manufacturing operations from material procurement to complete
finished box-build of all of investee products. The initial term of the
agreement is three years, continuing month to month thereafter unless terminated
by either party. Sales under this agreement totaled $119,842 and $538,233 for
the periods ended June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Notes Payable to Stockholders -- The Company had amounts due to stockholders
from three separate notes. The balance due to stockholders at June 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, was zero and $18,586, respectively. Notes were settled during
the six months ended June 30, 2005 by the exercise of stock options for $23,000.
Notes Payable to Related Party -- During 2002, the Company entered into a verbal
bridge loan agreement with Abacas Ventures, Inc. (Abacas). This agreement allows
the Company to request funds from Abacas to finance the build-up of inventory
relating to specific sales. The loan bears interest at 24% and is payable on
demand. There are no required monthly payments. During the six months ended June
30, 2005, and the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company was advanced $95,586
and $3,128,281, respectively, and made cash payments of zero and $3,025,149,
respectively.
During the March 2005, the Company issued 51,250,000 shares of the Company's
restricted common stock for payment of $2,055,944 in principal and accrued
interest on the note. Because Abacas is a related party, no gain or loss on
forgiveness of debt was recognized.
Q-9
The total principal amount owed to Abacas between the note payable and the
bridge loan was zero and $1,530,587 as of June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004,
respectively. The total accrued interest owed to Abacas between the note payable
and the bridge loan was zero and $430,828 as of June 30, 2005, and December 31,
2004, respectively, and is included in accrued liabilities.
NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Settlement of Litigation -- During January 2002, the Company settled a lawsuit
that had alleged a breach of facilities sublease agreement involving facilities
located in Colorado. The Company's liability in this action was originally
estimated to range up to $2.5 million. The Company had filed a counter suit in
the same court for an amount exceeding $500,000 for missing equipment.
Effective January 18, 2002, the Company entered into a settlement agreement
which required the Company to pay the plaintiff the sum of $250,000. Of this
amount, $25,000 was paid upon execution of the settlement, and the balance,
together with interest at 8% per annum, was payable by July 18, 2002. As
security for payment of the balance, the Company executed and delivered to the
plaintiff a Confession of Judgment and also issued 3,000,000 shares of common
stock, which are currently held in escrow and have been treated as treasury
stock recorded at no cost. The fair value of the 3,000,000 shares was less than
the carrying amount of the note payable. Because 75 percent of the balance had
not been paid by May 18, 2002, the Company was required to prepare and file with
the Securities & Exchange Commission, at its own expense, a registration
statement with respect to the escrowed shares.
As of June 30, 2005, the Company was in default of its obligations under the
settlement agreement and the total payment due thereunder had not been made. A
registration statement with respect to the escrowed shares was not filed and the
Company did not replace the escrowed shares with registered, free-trading shares
as per the terms of the agreement. The plaintiff filed a Confession of Judgment
and proceeded with execution thereon. The shares in escrow were released and
issued as partial settlement of $92,969 on the note payable outstanding.
In connection with a separate sublease agreement of these facilities, the
Company received a settlement from the sublessee during May 2002, in the amount
of $152,500, which has been recorded as other income. The Company did not
receive cash from this settlement, but certain obligations of the Company were
paid directly. $109,125 of the principal balance of the note related to the
settlement mentioned above was paid. Also, $7,000 was paid to the Company's
legal counsel as a retainer for future services. The remaining $36,375 was paid
to the above mentioned plaintiff as a settlement of rent expense.
During September 2002, the plaintiff filed a claim that the $109,125 portion of
the payment was to be applied as additional rent expense rather than a principal
payment on the note payable. The Company estimates that the probability of the
$109,125 being considered additional rent expense is remote and disputes the
claim. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action.
Litigation - During 2003 and 2004, an investment firm filed suits in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Utah seeking finder's fees consisting of
common stock valued at $1,750,000 for allegedly introducing the Company to the
Equity Line Investor (See Note 9). The case was previously dismissed in a New
York court. The Company estimates that the risk of loss is remote; therefore no
accrual has been made.
Various vendors have notified the Company that they believe they have claims
against the Company totaling $147,592. None of these vendors have filed lawsuits
in relation to these claims. The Company has accrued the entire amount of these
claims, and they are included in accounts payable. During the six months ended
June 30, 2005, the Company determined that the statute of limitations had
expired for various venders. Amounts of $75,144 were written off and recorded as
Q-10
a gain on forgiveness of debt. However, there can be no assurance that any or
all of these vendors will agree with the Company's determination, and the
Company may be subject to claims or litigation in the future.
In addition, various vendors have notified the Company that they believe they
have claims against the Company totaling $159,308. The Company has determined
the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote. The Company has
made no accrual for these claims and is currently in the process of negotiating
the dismissal of these claims with the various vendors.
The Company is also the defendant in numerous immaterial legal actions primarily
resulting from nonpayment of vendors for goods and services received. The
Company has accrued the payables and is currently in the process of negotiating
settlements with these vendors.
Registration Rights - In connection with the Company's entering into an Equity
Line of Credit Agreement (described in Note 9), the Company granted to the
equity line investor (the "Equity Line Investor") registration rights, in
connection with which the Company was required to file a registration statement
covering the resale of shares put to the Equity Line Investor under the equity
line. The Company was also required to keep the registration statement effective
until two years following the date of the last advance under the equity line.
In connection with the Company's sale of a convertible debenture (discussed
below), the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, together with all associated
registration rights, was terminated.
Also, in connection with the Company's entering into a standby equity
distribution agreement (described in Note 9), the Company granted to the
investor registration rights, in connection with which the Company was required
to file a registration statement covering the resale of shares put to the
investor under the standby equity distribution agreement. The Company was also
required to keep the registration statement effective until two years following
the date of the last advance under the standby equity distribution agreement.
In connection with the Company's sale of a convertible debenture (discussed
below), the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, together with all associated
registration rights, was terminated.
In May 2005, connection with the Company's sale of a convertible debenture
(discussed below), the Company granted to the purchaser of the debenture
registration rights, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, within 120
days of the closing of the purchase of the debenture, a registration statement
to register the resale of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon
conversion of the debenture. The Company agreed to register the resale of up to
100,000,000 shares, and to keep such registration statement effective until all
of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debenture have been sold. The
Company had not filed the registration statement as of the date of this Report.
Accrued Payroll Tax Liabilities -- In November 2004, the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) accepted the Company's Amended Offer in Compromise (Offer) to
settle delinquent payroll taxes, interest and penalties. The acceptance of the
Offer required the Company to pay $500,000 by February 3, 2005. Company made the
required payment on February 2, 2005. Additionally, the Offer requires the
Company to remain current in its payment of taxes for 5 years, and may not claim
any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015, or until the Company
pays taxes in an amount equal to the taxes waived by the offer in compromise.
The outstanding balance of delinquent payroll taxes, interest and penalties was
$1,955,767 on the settlement date. The future cash payments specified by the
Offer, including interest and principal, were less than the carrying amount of
the payable; therefore the Company reduced the carrying amount of the liability
Q-11
to the total future cash payments of $500,000 and recorded a gain of $1,455,767
during the year ended December 31, 2004.
Further, the Utah State Tax Commission has entered into an agreement to allow
the Company to pay the liability owing to the State of Utah in equal monthly
installments of $4,000 over a two-year period running through December 2005.
Through June 2005, the Company had made the required payments. The balance owed
to the State of Utah as of June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, was $155,627
and $223,660, respectively, including penalties and interest.
Manufacturing Agreement -- On June 10, 2004, the Company entered into an
exclusive manufacturing agreement with certain Developers. Under the terms of
the agreement, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CirTran-Asia,
has the exclusive right to manufacture the certain products developed by the
Developers or any of their affiliates. The Developers will continue to provide
marketing and consulting services related to the products under the agreement.
Should the Developers terminate the agreement early, they must pay the Company
$150,000. Revenue is recognized when products are shipped. Title passes to the
customer or independent sales representative at the time of shipment.
In connection with this agreement the Company agreed to issue options to
purchase 1,500,000 shares common stock to the Developers upon the sale, shipment
and payment for 200,000 units of a fitness product. In addition, the Company
agreed to issue options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock to the
Developers for each multiple of 100,000 units of the fitness product sold in
excess of the initial 200,000 units within twenty-four months of the agreement
(June 2004). The options will be exercisable at $0.06 per share, vest on the
grant date and expire one year after issuance. As of June 30, 2005, the Company
had sold, shipped and received payment for, 257,577 units of the fitness
product. In January 2005, the Company issued 1,500,000 options under the terms
of the agreement. See Note 10.
In connection with the above manufacturing agreement, the Company agreed to
issue various options to purchase shares of common stock to the Developers upon
the sale, shipment, and payment of certain quantities of additional the
products. In addition, the Company agreed to issue additional options to
purchase common stock to the developers for each multiple of units sold in
excess of the initial units within the first twenty-four months of the
agreements. The schedule of units and potential options that will be issued
follows:
Options Each Multiple of Options for
Initial for Initial Units above Each Multiple
Product Units Units Sold Initial Units of Units
------------------------ -------------- ------------------- --------------------- ---------------
1 500,000 500,000 200,000 200,000
2 25,000 500,000 15,000 100,000
3 100,000 500,000 50,000 100,000
4 300,000 1,000,000 100,000 200,000
5 200,000 250,000 100,000 100,000
6 200,000 500,000 100,000 100,000
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had not sold, shipped and received payment for
enough units to require the issuance of options related to the additional
products under these agreements. Because the Developers must provide future
services for the options to vest, the options are treated as unissued for
accounting purposes. The cost of these options will be recognized when the
options are earned.
Q-12
NOTE 8 - NOTES PAYABLE
Notes Payable to Equity Line Investor -- As of December 31, 2004, the Company
owed $1.7 million to Cornell Capital Partners, LP ("Cornell"), pursuant to an
unsecured promissory note. The note was repayable over 193 days and was past due
as of March 31, 2005. The note stated that if the Company did not repay the note
when due, a default interest rate of 24% would apply to the unpaid balance. The
Company recorded accrued interest of $105,074 on the note as of March 31, 2005.
In January 2005, the Company entered into an additional promissory note with
Cornell for $565,000. The Company received proceeds of $503,500, net of loan
costs of $61,500. The terms of the note included a 9% premium or $50,850,
resulting in a total note payable of $615,850. The premium was amortized to
interest expense over the life of the loan. The terms of the loan stated that
interest only payments would be made for the first six months. The Company would
repay the principal, interest, and premium over the next six months. The loan
was due January 2006. The Company amortized $11,057 of the premium as interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
All notes to Cornell were paid on May 27, 2005, with funds acquired from
Highgate House Funds, Ltd., in connection with the sale of a convertible
debenture. (See Note 9.) Payment of accrued interest was not required as part of
the repayment. In connection with the repayment, the remaining premium of
$39,793 was immediately amortized as interest expense. The gain from forgiveness
of debt on both Cornell notes totaled $162,774.
The total principal amount owed to Cornell Capital Partners, LP was zero and
$1,700,000 as of June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Mortgage Note Payable -- In conjunction with the acquisition of PFE, the Company
assumed a mortgage note payable for $1,050,000. The note bears interest at 12.5%
per annum. Interest only payments are required through January 2006. Starting in
February 2006, principal and interest payments will be required based on a
twenty-year amortization of the note. The entire balance of principal and unpaid
interest will be due in December 2008.
NOTE 9 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
On May 26, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with Highgate House
Funds, Ltd. ("Highgate") to sell to Highgate a $3,750,000, 5% Secured
Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture"). The Debenture is due December 2007 and
is secured by all of the Company's property.
Accrued interest is payable at the time of maturity or conversion. The Company
may, at its option, elect to pay accrued interest in cash or shares of the
Company's common stock. If paid in stock, the conversion price shall be the
closing bid price of the common stock on either the date the interest payment is
due or the date on which the interest payment is made.
At any time, Highgate may elect to convert principal amounts owing on the
Debenture into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal
to the lesser of $0.10 per share, or an amount equal to the lowest closing bid
price of our common stock for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the
conversion date. The Company has the right to redeem a portion or the entire
Debenture then outstanding by paying 105% of the principal amount redeemed plus
accrued interest thereon.
Q-13
Highgate's right to convert principal amounts into shares of the Company's
common stock is limited as follows:
(i) Highgate may convert up to $250,000 worth of the principal
amount plus accrued interest of the Debenture in any
consecutive 30-day period when the market price of the
Company's stock is $0.10 per share or less at the time of
conversion;
(ii) Highgate may convert up to $500,000 worth of the principal
amount plus accrued interest of the Debenture in any
consecutive 30-day period when the price of the Company's
stock is greater than $0.10 per share at the time of
conversion; provided, however, that Highgate may convert
in excess of the foregoing amounts if the Company and
Highgate mutually agree; and
(iii) Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Highgate may,
in its sole discretion, accelerate full repayment of all
debentures outstanding and accrued interest thereon or may
convert the Debentures and accrued interest thereon into
shares of the Company's common stock.
Except in the event of default, Highgate may not convert the Debenture for a
number of shares that would result in Highgate owning more than 4.99% of the
Company's outstanding common stock.
The Company granted Highgate registration rights, pursuant to which the Company
agreed to file, within 120 days of the closing of the purchase of the debenture,
a registration statement to register the resale of shares of the Company's
common stock issuable upon conversion of the debenture. The Company agreed to
register the resale of up to 100,000,000 shares, and to keep such registration
statement effective until all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the
debenture have been sold. The Company had not filed the registration statement
as of the date of this Report.
The Company determined that Highgate LLC received a beneficial conversion option
and allocated $441,402 of the proceeds received to the beneficial conversion
option that resulted in an offsetting discount to the note payable. The discount
on the note payable is being amortized to interest expense from the date
proceeds were received through December 2007, and amounted to $16,271 of
accretion of the discount during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
In connection with the sale of the Debenture, $2,265,000 of the proceeds were
paid to Cornell to repay promissory notes. Fees of $256,433 were also withheld
from the proceeds. As such, of the total Debenture purchase price of $3,750,000,
the net proceeds to the Company were $1,228,567. The proceeds will be used for
general corporate and working capital purposes, at the Company's discretion.
NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock Issuances -- During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company
issued 51,250,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock for payment of
principal and accrued interest on the note to Abacus. (See Note 6.)
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares
of the Company's restricted common stock for payment of accrued rent and accrued
interest of $411,402. Because the rent was owed to a related party, no gain or
loss on forgiveness of debt was recognized.
Q-14
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares
of the Company's restricted common stock as partial payment on a note payable
for $92,969. (See Note 7.)
On March 31, 2005, the Company acquired a 100% interest in PFE Properties, LLC
for 20,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. (See Note 4.)
Equity Line of Credit Agreement -On November 5, 2002, the Company entered into
an Equity Line of Credit Agreement (the "Equity Line Agreement") with Cornell.
The Company subsequently terminated the Equity Line Agreement, and on April 8,
2003, the Company entered into an amended equity line agreement (the "Amended
Equity Line Agreement") with Cornell. Under the Amended Equity Line Agreement,
the Company had the right to draw up to $5,000,000 from Cornell against an
equity line of credit (the "Equity Line"), and to put to Cornell shares of the
Company's common stock in lieu of repayment of the draw. The number of shares to
be issued was determined by dividing the amount of the draw by the lowest
closing bid price of the Company's common stock over the five trading days after
the advance notice was tendered. Cornell was required under the Amended Equity
Line Agreement to tender the funds requested by the Company within two trading
days after the five-trading-day period used to determine the market price. Upon
the sale of the Convertible Debenture, the Amended Equity Line Agreement was
terminated.
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement - The Company entered into a Standby
Equity Distribution Agreement dated May 21, 2004, with Cornell. Under the
Agreement, the Company had the right, at its sole discretion, to draw up to $20
million on the standby equity facility (the "SEDA Facility") and put to Cornell
shares of its common stock in lieu of repayment of the draws. The number of
shares to be issued in connection with each draw was determined by dividing the
amount of the draw by the lowest volume-weighted average price of the Company's
common stock during the five consecutive trading days after the advance was
sought. The maximum advance amount was $1,000,000 per advance, with a minimum of
seven trading days between advances. Cornell was to retain 5% of each advance as
a fee under the Agreement. The term of the Agreement was to run over a period of
twenty-four months after a registration statement related to the Agreement was
declared effective or until the full $20 million had been drawn, whichever came
first. The Company had made no draws against the SEDA Facility and issued no
shares in connection with the SEDA Facility.
With the sale of the Convertible Debenture on May 27, 2005, the SEDA Facility
and related agreements were terminated. (See Note 9.)
NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock options issued to
directors, officers and employees under APB No. 25 and related interpretations.
Under APB 25, compensation expense is recognized if an option's exercise price
on the measurement date is below the fair value of the Company's common stock.
For options that provide for cashless exercise or that have been modified, the
measurement date is considered the date the options are exercised or expire.
Those options are accounted for as variable options with compensation adjusted
each period based on the difference between the market value of the common stock
and the exercise price of the options at the end of the period. The Company
accounts for options and warrants issued to non-employees, including the
developers mentioned in Note 7, at their fair value in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123").
Q-15
Stock Option Plan - During November 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Stock
Option Plan (the "2003 Plan") with 35,000,000 shares of common stock reserved
for issuance there under. Also, during December 2004, the Company adopted the
2004 Stock Option Plan (the "2004 Plan") with 40,000,000 shares of common stock
reserved for issuance there under. The Company's Board of Directors administers
the plans and has discretion in determining the employees, directors,
independent contractors and advisors who receive awards, the type of awards
(stock, incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options) granted, and the
term, vesting, and exercise prices.
Non-Employee Options - During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company
granted options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock to counsel for the
Company with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The options were five year
options and vested on the date granted. Legal expense of $40,351 was recorded
for the fair value of options issued. These options and 1,500,000 previously
issued options were exercised by counsel for proceeds of $300.
Employee Options - During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company
granted options to purchase 13,000,000 shares of common stock to directors and
employees of the Company pursuant to the 2004 Plan. These options are five year
options that vested on the date of grant. The related exercise prices were
$0.027 per share. The exercise price equaled the fair value of the common shares
at the time these options were granted; therefore, the options had no intrinsic
value. Eleven million options were exercised during the six months ended June
30, 2005, for $33,000 in cash, $69,000 in compensation, $140,000 in accrued
compensation, and $23,000 as payment on a shareholder note payable. The $69,000
of compensation was recorded in conjunction with the cashless exercise of
3,000,000 of the options.
Developer Options - During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company
granted options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock to developers as
described in Note 7 at exercise prices of $0.06 per share. The options were all
five-year options and vested on the dates granted. Two of the developers were
employees and together were issued 1,000,000 of the options. The exercise price
equaled the fair value of the common shares at the time these options were
granted therefore the options had no intrinsic value. The fair value of these
options of $42,052 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate ranging of 4.00%,
dividend yield of 0.0%, volatility of 302%, and expected average life of .5
years. None of these options were exercised during the six months ended June 30,
2005.
The remaining 500,000 developer options were issued to a non-employee under the
terms described above. Because the developer was a non-employee, cost of goods
sold of $21,526 was recorded for the fair value of options issued during the
three months ended March 31, 2005. These options were valued using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free
interest rate ranging of 4.00%, dividend yield of 0.0%, volatility of 302%, and
expected average life of .5 years. None of these options were exercised during
the six months ended June 30, 2005.
A total of 14,750,000 employee options and 1,500,500 non-employee options were
outstanding as of June 30, 2005.
A summary of the stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2005,
is as follows:

PART II. Information Not Required in the Prospectus
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Bylaws provide, among other things, that our officers or directors are not
personally liable to us or to our stockholders for damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as an officer or director, except for damages for breach of such
duty resulting from (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct,
fraud, or a knowing violation of law, or (b) the unlawful payment of dividends.
Our Bylaws also authorize us to indemnify our officers and directors under
certain circumstances. We anticipate we will enter into indemnification
agreements with each of our executive officers and directors pursuant to which
we will agree to indemnify each such person for all expenses and liabilities
incurred by such person in connection with any civil or criminal action brought
against such person by reason of their being an officer or director of the
Company. In order to be entitled to such indemnification, such person must have
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to criminal actions, such
person must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance And Distribution

common stock by the selling shareholders. The estimated expenses of issuance and
distribution are set forth below.

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In May 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Highgate
concerning the purchase and sale of the Convertible Debenture. The sale of the
Convertible Debenture to Highgate was made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, as a transaction not involving any public offering. No
advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities, and
the Convertible Debenture was issued to only one investor which represented that
it is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. Through September 21, 2005,
we had issued no shares of our common stock in connection with any conversions
of the Convertible Debentures, and we had received notice of no conversions from
Highgate. This registration statement is filed to register the resale of shares
into the market that Highgate will receive upon conversion of the Convertible
Debenture, and our issuances of shares to Highgate will be madewithout
registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we were entitled to put to the
Equity Line Investor, in lieu of repayment of amounts drawn on the Equity Line,
shares of the Company's common stock. Although the Company filed a registration
statement to register the resale by the Equity Line Investor of the shares put
II-1
to it by the Company, the issuances of shares to the Company were made in
reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, as a transaction not involving any public offering. No advertising
or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities, and the shares
were issued to only one investor which represented that it is an "accredited
investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933. Through December 31, 2003, we issued 64,253,508 shares
of common stock to the Equity Line Investor in connection with draws on the
Equity Line. Subsequent to December 31, 2003, and through August 31, 2004, we
issued an aggregate of 57,464,386 shares of Common Stock to the Equity Line
Investor in connection with draws on the Equity Line. We used the proceeds of
the draws on the Equity Line to pay outstanding liabilities, including notes to
Cornell, the Equity Line Investor, discussed above. As noted above, the Company
has terminated the Equity Line of Credit Agreement.
In December, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Abacas under which
the Company issued an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange
for cancellation of an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 in senior debt owed to the
creditors by the Company. The shares were issued with an exchange price of $0.05
per share, for the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The Company did not grant
registration rights to the four creditors. The shares were issued without
registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
In January, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with Abacas under which
the Company issued an aggregate of 19,987,853 shares of common stock in exchange
for cancellation of an aggregate amount of $1,499,090 in senior debt owed to the
creditors by the Company. The shares were issued with an exchange price of
$0.075 per share, for the aggregate amount of $1,500,000. The Company did not
grant registration rights to the four creditors. The shares were issued without
registration under the 1933 Act in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.

Item 28. Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by
our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in
the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
We hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To specify in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
(Section 230.4242(b) of Regulation S-B) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any additional or changed material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
