NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Lightwave Logic, Inc. (the Company). These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of its normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting polices described in the Summary of Accounting Policies included in the 2007 Annual Report. Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally indicated in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company firmly believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim operating results for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2008 may not be indicative of operating results expected for the full year.

Loss per Share

The company follows SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share”, resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. The basic loss per share calculations includes the change in capital structure for all periods presented. Because the Company reported a net loss for each of the three and nine months ending September 30, 2008 and 2007, common stock equivalents consisting of options and warrants were anti-dilutive; therefore, the basic and diluted net loss per share for each of these periods was the same.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with earlier adoption encouraged. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities, but the implementation did not require additional disclosures or have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact the implementation of SFAS 157 will have on the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities which are not recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis. However, the Company does not anticipate that the full adoption of SFAS 157 will significantly impact their consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

During February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The Company has adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 and has elected not to measure any additional financial assets, liabilities or other items at fair value.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and will change the accounting for business combinations on a prospective basis.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. This statement is not currently applicable since it has no majority-owned subsidiaries.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), which is effective January 1, 2009. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities to allow for a better understanding of their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Among other things, SFAS 161 requires disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and associated gains and losses in a tabular formant. SFAS 161 is not currently applicable to the Company since the Company does not have derivative investments of hedging activity.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“FAS 162"). This Standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. FAS 162 directs the hierarchy to the entity, rather than the independent auditors, as the entity is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Standard is effective 60 days following SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles from the auditing standards. FAS 162 is not expected to have an impact on the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 1- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Application of this FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. This FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company does not currently have any share-based awards that would qualify as participating securities. Therefore, application of this FSP is not expected to have an effect on the Company's financial reporting.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) ("FSP 14-1"). FSP 14-1 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The FSP includes guidance that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion should be separated between the liability and equity components, with each component being accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest costs are recognized in subsequent periods. This FSP is not currently applicable to the Company.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FAS Staff Position (FSP) 157-3, "Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active." This is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. This FSP applies to financial assets within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in accordance with Statement 157. This FSP clarifies the application of Statement 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157–3 did not have an impact on the company’s financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the September 30, 2007 financial statements to conform to the September 30, 2008 presentation.

NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT

The accompanying September 30, 2007 financial statements have been restated to reflect the adjusted valuation of warrants issued for management services. Originally the warrant was valued at $288,428 and amortized over the life of the contract, which is one year. The adjusted valuation of the warrant was $348,000. The effect of this restatement was a net increase in the net loss of $14,892 and $34,749 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, for the additional amortization expense associated with the adjusted valuation.

LIGHTWAVE LOGIC, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow during the development stage. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company is in the development stage at September 30, 2008. Currently, the Company has funds to maintain its operations through November 2008. The Company’s development is proceeding on schedule and management hopes to demonstrate a prototype by the end of the first quarter of 2009. Management is in the process of developing a business plan that it believes will be attractive enough to investors to raise the necessary capital. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing and/or equity investment or achieve an adequate sales level. Successful completion of the Company’s prototype could lead to adequate financing to fulfill its development activities and achieve a level of revenue adequate to support the Company’s cost structure for the following three years.

NOTE 4 – DEFERRED CHARGES

Deferred charges represent the unamortized fair value of the issuance of common stock and warrants for future services to non-employees which was accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, as follows:

NOTE 6 – AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES

As described in Note 1, the Company partially adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1

Observe inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2

Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3

Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

NOTE 8 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

This represents legal fees and patent fees associated with the registration of patents. The Company has not recorded any amortization expenses since the patents have yet to be declared effective. Once issued, the cost of the patents will be amortized over their legal lives, which is generally 20 years.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

There is no income tax benefit for the losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 since management has determined that the realization of the net deferred tax asset is not assured and has created a valuation allowance for the entire amount of such benefits.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of January 1, 2008, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, or any tax related interest of penalties. There were no changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended September 30, 2008. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2008 related to unrecognized tax benefits. Tax years from 2005 through 2007 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

NOTE 10– STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our Company’s Articles of Incorporation, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue series of preferred stock with any designations, rights and preferences as they may from time to time determine. The rights and preferences of this preferred stock may be superior to the rights and preferences of our common stock; consequently, preferred stock, if issued could have dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the common stock. Additionally, preferred stock, if issued, could be utilized, under special circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our business or a takeover from a third party.

Common Stock and Warrants

The stockholders’ deficit at January 1, 2004 has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the reverse acquisition at July 14, 2004 after giving effect to the difference in par value with the offset to additional paid-in-capital.

In July 2004, the Company issued 1,600,000 shares of its common stock for professional services valued at $256,000, fair value.

In August 2004, the Company issued 637,500 shares of its common stock for professional services valued at $75,000, fair value.

In December 2004, the Company converted a note payable of $30,000 into 187,500 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.16 per share.

In April 2005, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement for proceeds of $1,000,000.

On May 4, 2005, the Company converted the notes payable of $499,000 into 3,118,750 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.16 per share. An unpaid note payable in the amount of $6,500 has been reflected as a subscription receivable.

NOTE 10 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

Common Stock and Warrants (Continued)

During August 2005, the Company issued 210,000 shares of common stock for professional services rendered valued at $585,500, fair value. Consulting expense of $375,500 was recognized during 2005, and at December 31, 2005, the remaining balance of $210,000 is reflected as a deferred charge on the balance sheet. During 2006, consulting expense of $210,000 was recognized. This agreement ended in May 2006.

In August 2005, in conjunction with a management services contract, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $584,000. Management expense of $265,455 was recognized during 2005, and at December 31, 2005, the remaining balance of $318,545 is reflected as a deferred charge in a contra-equity account. During 2006, management expense of $318,545 was recognized. This agreement ended in June 2006.

During May 2005, the Company issued Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.10 in exchange for consulting services. The warrants are exercisable until May 2008 and vest as follows: 50,000 shares during the first year of the agreement, 25,000 shares during the second year of the agreement, and 25,000 shares during the third year.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “could,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Should one or more risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, expected, planned, intended, estimated, projected or otherwise indicated. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which we have made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our plans and financial condition. The following selected financial information is derived from our historical financial statements and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere herein and the "Forward-Looking Statements" explanation included herein.

Overview

Lightwave Logic, Inc., formerly, Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc., formerly, PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc., formerly Eastern Idaho Internet Service, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1997, where we engaged in the business of marketing Internet services until June 30, 1998 when our operations were discontinued. We were then inactive until we acquired PSI-TEC Corporation as our wholly owned subsidiary on July 14, 2004, at which time our name was changed to PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. On October 20, 2006, we completed a parent-subsidiary merger with PSI-TEC Corporation whereby we were the surviving corporation of the merger, and our name was changed to Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc. On March 10, 2008, we changed our name to Lightwave Logic, Inc. to better suit our strategic business plan and to facilitate stockholder recognition of our Company and its business.

We are a developmental stage company that has developed and continues to develop high-activity, high-stability electro-optic polymers (plastics) that we believe could have a broad range of applications in the electro-optic device market. We engineer our proprietary electro-optic plastics at the molecular level for superior performance, stability, cost-efficiency and ease of processability. We expect our electro-optic plastics to broadly replace more expensive, lower-performance materials that are currently used in fiber-optic ground, wireless and satellite communication networks.

In order to transmit digital information at extremely high-speeds (wide bandwidth) over the Internet, it is necessary to convert the electrical signals produced by a computer into optical signals for transmission over long-distance fiber-optic cable. The actual conversion of electricity to an optical signal may be performed by a molecularly-engineered material known as an electro-optic plastic.

We are currently developing electro-optic plastics that promise performance many times faster than any technology currently available and that have unprecedented thermal stability. High-performance electro-optic materials produced by our Company have demonstrated stability as high as 350 degrees Celsius. Stability above 300 degrees Celsius is necessary for vertical integration into many semi-conductor production lines. Our past results, independently confirmed by the University of Arizona, have demonstrated that the molecular performance of some of our Company's molecular designs perform 650% better than competitive electro-optic compounds.

Our revenue model relies substantially on the assumption that we will be able to successfully develop electro-optic products for applications within the industries described below. When appropriate, we intend to create specific materials for each of these applications and use our proprietary knowledge base to continue to enhance its discoveries.

Plan of Operation

Since our inception, we have been engaged primarily in the research and development of our polymer materials technologies and potential products. We are devoting significant resources to engineer next-generation electro-optic plastics for future applications to be utilized by electro-optic device manufacturers, such as telecommunications component and systems manufacturers, networking and switching suppliers, semiconductor companies, aerospace companies and government agencies. We expect to continue to develop products that we intend to introduce to these rapidly changing markets and to seek to identify new markets. We expect to continue to make significant operating and capital expenditures for research and development activities.

As we move from a development stage company to a product vendor, we expect that our financial condition and results of operations will undergo substantial change. In particular, we expect to record both revenue and expense from product sales, to incur increased costs for sales and marketing and to increase general and administrative expense. Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements are not expected to be indicative of our future financial condition and results of operations.

On August 8, 2006, we contracted with Triple Play Communications Corporation, a design and market consulting company, to deliver a comprehensive market opportunity assessment report for high speed 40G (commercial) & 100G+ (military/aerospace) modulators and system applications.

In August, 2006 we entered into a co-location agreement with InPlane Photonics, a New Jersey-based micro-optics company that allowed our scientists to establish a pre-production line in order to test and integrate our organic materials into waveguide devices and system prototypes as a first step toward product commercialization. This agreement was terminated at the end of January 2007 so that we could focus on pursuing a strategic relationship with Photon-X LLC, a Pennsylvania-based firm with extensive experience in polymer waveguide processing. We entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Photon-X, LLC in December 2006 to work towards creating a "fee for services" agreement with Photon-X, LLC to design, develop, produce and market electro-optic components based upon our polymer technology. Such an agreement with Photon-X, LLC would afford our Company access to a full suite of fabrication facilities capable of producing commercial quantities of precision micro-optic devices such as high-speed (40GHz) telecom modulators, optical filters, and optical interconnects important to military and civilian global information movement and management markets.

On September 25, 2006 we obtained independent laboratory results that confirmed the thermal stability of our Perkinamine electro-optic materials. Thermal stability as high as 350 degrees Celsius was confirmed, significantly exceeding many other commercially available high performance electro-optic materials, such as CLD-1 which exhibits thermal degradation in the range of 250 degrees Celsius to 275 degrees Celsius. This high temperature stability of our materials eliminates a major obstacle to vertical integration of electro-optic polymers into standard microelectronic manufacturing processes (e.g. wave/vapor-phase soldering) where thermal stability of at least 300 degrees Celsius is required. In independent laboratory tests, ten-percent material degradation, a common evaluation of overall thermal stability, did not occur until our Perkinamine material base was exposed to temperatures as high as 350 degrees Celsius, as determined by Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The test results supported our Company's progress to introduce our materials into commercial applications such as optical interconnections, high-speed telecom and datacom modulators, and military/aerospace components.

In July 2007, our Company developed an innovative process to integrate our unique architecture into our anticipated commercial devices, whereby dendritic spacer systems are attached to its core chromophore. In the event we are successful in developing a commercially viable product, we believe these dendrimers will reduce the cost of manufacturing materials and reduce the cost and complexity of tailoring the material to specific customer requirements.

In January 2008, we retained TangibleFuture, Inc., a San Francisco based technology analysis and business development consulting company, to generate an independent assessment of our business opportunities in the fiber-optic telecommunications and optical computing sectors and develop strategies to penetrate those potential markets. We recently received an assessment from TangibleFuture, Inc. whereby they consider the existing high speed, long reach, communication modulator market to approximate $140,000,000 per year.

In March 2008, we commenced production of our first prototype photonic chip, which we delivered to our partner, Photon-X, LLC who will fabricate a prototype polymer optical modulator and measure its technical properties. We hope to be able to demonstrate this prototype prior to the end of the fourth quarter. We intend to utilize the services of Dr. Robert Norwood at the University of Arizona Photonics Department to perform the necessary proof of concept tests, as we have in the past. We may incur delays in this process due to slower than expected material production within our laboratories and/or delays caused by the testing procedures at the University of Arizona. Should these tests produce a functional 10 Gb/s or greater modulator we expect to go forward with product marketing and development in the telecommunication market with partners in the telecommunication field. We cannot anticipate the details of the customer adoption cycle until we have produced a functional prototype to create a credible technology offering.

We ultimately intend to use our next-generation electro-optic plastics for future applications vital to the following industries. We expect to create specific materials for each of these applications as appropriate:

Satellite Reconnaissance

Navigational Systems

Radar Applications

Telecommunications

Backplane Optical Interconnects

Entertainment

Medical Applications

Optical Computing

In an effort to maximize our future revenue stream from our electro-optic polymer products, we are currently evaluating each of or some combination of the following approaches:

Licensing our technology for individual specific applications;

Entering into collaborative or joint venture agreements with one or a number of partners; or

Selling our products directly to commercial customers.

Additionally, we must create an infrastructure, including operational and financial systems, and related internal controls, and recruit qualified personnel. Failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to support our operations.

We have incurred substantial net losses since inception. We have satisfied our capital requirements since inception primarily through the issuance and sale of our common stock. During 2004 we raised approximately $529,000 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, of which $30,000 was converted into common stock of the company during 2004 and the remaining $499,000 converted in 2005. Also, during 2005, we raised an aggregate of $1,000,000 from the private sale of our common stock. During 2006, we raised approximately $425,000 from the private sale of our common stock, of which $200,000 was rescinded during 2007. During 2007, we raised approximately $2,301,524 from the private sale of our common stock. During 2008, we raised approximately $414,000 from the private sale of our common stock. We have also issued shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for services rendered to our company, including professional services.

Award

On September 26, 2006, we were awarded the 2006 Electro-Optic Materials Technology Innovation of the Year Award by Frost & Sullivan. Frost & Sullivan's Technology Innovation of the Year Award is bestowed upon candidates whose original research has resulted in innovations

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 to Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

Revenues

We had no revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 since we are a development stage company that has yet to commence revenue creating operations.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses were $1,195,974 and $701,496 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for an increase of $494,478. This increase in operating expenses was due primarily to the increase in use of consultants, issuance of stock options for board of director members and a new CEO, an increase in the payroll expense, an increase in health insurance, offset by a decrease in accounts payable, decrease in chemicals and materials, decrease in investor relations fees, management fees and legal fees.

Included in our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,032,393 for research and development expenses compared to $371,075 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, for an increase of $661,318. Research and development expenses currently consist primarily of compensation for employees and consultants engaged in internal research and product development activities; laboratory operations, outsourced development and processing work; fees and expenses related to patent applications and intellectual property protection; costs incurred in acquiring and maintaining licenses; and related operating expenses. We expect to continue to incur substantial research and development expense to develop commercial products that utilize our electro-optic plastics. These expenses could increase as a result of continued development and commercialization of our electro-optic materials technology; subcontracting work to potential development partners; expanding and equipping in-house laboratories; hiring additional technical and support personnel; pursuing other potential business opportunities; and incurring related operating expenses.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and support costs for management and administrative staff, and for other general and administrative costs, including executive, investor relations, accounting and finance, legal, consulting and other operating expenses, including laboratory space rental costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased $166,840 to $163,581 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $330,421 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease is due primarily to our decrease in investor relations fees, management fees and legal fees, offset by a payroll expense due to the company hiring a new Chief Executive Officer in August 2008 and issuing stock options for members of the Board of Directors.

There were no fees for investor relations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $37,187 for the same three month period in 2007. This decrease was due to the suspension of the contract with an investor relations firm during April 2008. Management fees decreased $148,999 to $83,001 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $232,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 due to a contract expiring in February 2008 and a new contract becoming effective in February 2008.

Legal fees were $22,719 and $27,767 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The decrease of $5,048 was due to fees associated with the Company completing a registration statement in the third quarter of 2007.

Wages and salaries increased $831,182 from $161,521 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $992,703 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 due to the company hiring a new Chief Executive Officer in August 2008 that was issued a stock grant upon acceptance of this position and the issuance of stock options to members of the Board of Directors.

We expect general and administrative expense to increase in future periods as we increase the level of corporate and administrative activity, including increases associated with our operation as a public company; and significantly increase expenditures related to the future production and sales of our products.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income was $1,873 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, consisting of $2,702 of interest income on cash deposits and short term investments offset by $829 of interest expense compared to other income of $1,719 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, consisting of $2,990 of interest income on cash deposits and short term investments offset by $1,271 of interest expense.

Net Loss

Net loss was $1,195,974 and $701,496 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for an increase of $494,478, primarily resulting from research and development and general and administrative expenses incurred as described above.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

Revenues

We had no revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 since we are a development stage company that has yet to commence revenue creating operations.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses were $3,689,717 and $2,638,363 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for an increase of $1,051,354. This increase in operating expenses was due primarily to the increase in use of consultants, issuance of stock options for board of director members and new CEO, an increase in the payroll expense, increase in health insurance, offset by a decrease in accounts payable, decrease in chemicals and materials, decrease in investor relations fees, management fees and legal fees.

Included in our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $2,847,366 for research and development expenses compared to $1,651,266 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, for an increase of $1,196,100. Research and development expenses currently consist primarily of compensation for employees and contractors engaged in internal research and product development activities; laboratory operations, outsourced development and processing work; fees and expenses related to patent applications and intellectual property protection; costs incurred in acquiring and maintaining licenses; and related operating expenses.

We expect to continue to incur substantial research and development expense to develop commercial products that utilize our electro-optic plastics. These expenses could increase as a result of continued development and commercialization of our electro-optic materials technology; subcontracting work to potential development partners; expanding and equipping in-house laboratories; hiring additional technical and support personnel; pursuing other potential business opportunities; and incurring related operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased $144,746 to $842,351 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $987,097 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease is due primarily to our decrease in investor relations fees, management fees and legal fees, offset by a payroll expense due to the company hiring a new Chief Executive Officer in August 2008 and issuing stock options for new members of the Board of Directors.

Management fees were $348,336 and $541,333 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The decrease of $192,997 was due to a contract expiring in February 2008 and a new contract becoming effective in February 2008.

Legal fees were $159,776 and $136,150 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The increase of $23,626 was primarily due to the company filing its first Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 with the SEC in March 2008, as well as the filing of its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the first two quarterly periods of 2008.

Wages and salaries increased $1,122,843 from $393,670 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $1,516,513 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due to the company issuing a stock grant to the new Chief Executive Officer in August 2008 and Chief Technology Officer in January 2008. This increase is also due to the Company granting stock options to members of the Board of Directors in the third quarter of 2008.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income was $8,904 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consisting of $11,368 of interest income on cash deposits and short term investments offset by $108 in realized loss on investments and $2,356 of interest expense compared to other expense of $46 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, consisting of $4,573 of interest income on cash deposits and short term investments offset by $4,619 of interest expense.

Net Loss

Net loss was $3,689,717 and $2,638,363 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for an increase of $1,051,354, primarily resulting the hiring of additional key personnel and officers.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's accounting policies are more fully described in the Notes to Financial Statements. As disclosed in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The Company believes that, of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment, estimation, or complexity than other accounting policies.

Merger

On July 14, 2004, the Company acquired PSI-TEC Corporation. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the stockholders of PSI-TEC Corporation received 15,600,000 shares of common stock in exchange for its 2,206,280 shares. Following the merger, the Company changed its name to PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the share exchange is considered to be a capital transaction in substance rather than a business combination. That is, the share exchange is equivalent to the issuance of stock by PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. for the net monetary assets of PSI-TEC Corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change of capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the share exchange will be identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except no goodwill will be recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post-reverse acquisition comparative historical financial statements of the legal acquirer, PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc., are those of the legal acquiree, PSI-TEC Corporation, which is considered to be the accounting acquirer. On October 20, 2006, PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. and PSI-TEC Corporation merged and changed its name to Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc.

Stock Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date of grant. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method as permitted under SFAS 123(R). Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the first quarter of 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to but not yet vested as of December 30, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123. In accordance with the modified prospective method of adoption, the Company's results of operations and financial position for prior periods have not been restated.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $1,034,044 and net cash provided by investing activities was $73,432, which was due primarily to the Company applying for patents, the purchase of equipment, and the repayment of notes receivable. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $616,500. At September 30, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $135,339, our assets totaled $444,236, our liabilities totaled $139,821, and we had stockholders' equity of $304,414.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our future expenditures and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including: the progress of our research and development efforts; the rate at which we can, directly or through arrangements with original equipment manufacturers, introduce and sell products incorporating our plastic materials technology; the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; market acceptance of our products and competing technological developments; and our ability to establish cooperative development, joint venture and licensing arrangements. We expect that we will incur in excess of $1 million of expenditures over the next 12 months. Our cash requirements are expected to increase at a rate consistent with revenue growth as we expand our activities and operations with the objective of commercializing our electro-optic plastic technology during 2008.

Our business does not presently generate the cash needed to finance our current and anticipated operations. We believe we have raised sufficient capital to finance our operations for the next three months, however, we will need to obtain additional future financing during 2008 to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities. Such future sources of financing may include cash from equity offerings, exercise of warrants and stock options and proceeds from debt instruments; but we cannot assure you that such equity or borrowings will be available or, if available, will be at rates or prices acceptable to us. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short-term or long-term capital requirements, or if planned revenues are not generated, we may be required to substantially limit our operations. This limitation of operations may include reductions in capital expenditures and reductions in staff and discretionary costs.

We expect that our cash used in operations will increase beyond the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the following planned activities:

The addition of management, sales, marketing, technical and other staff to our workforce;

Increased spending for the expansion of our research and development efforts, including purchases of additional laboratory and production equipment;

Increased spending in marketing as our products are introduced into the marketplace;

Developing and maintaining collaborative relationships with strategic partners;

Developing and improving our manufacturing processes and quality controls; and

Increases in our general and administrative activities related to our operations as a reporting public company and related corporate compliance requirements.

Analysis of Cash Flows

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,034,044 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consisting of payments for management, legal, professional and consulting expenses, rent and other expenditures necessary to develop our business infrastructure, $4,875 in prepaid expenses, $78,270 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by $360,731 in deferred charges, $1,226,211 in warrants issued for services, $694,407 in options issued for services, $435,000 in common stock issued for services and $3,631 in receivables, and prepaid expenses.

Net cash used by investing activities was $73,432 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, consisting of $16,423 for intangibles, as well as the purchase of equipment for $10,207, and the repayment of a note receivable for $100,000, offset by a sale of available for sale securities of $62.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $616,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and consisted of $414,000 of proceeds from the sale of our common stock and $202,500 from the exercise of warrants.

Inflation and Seasonality

We do not believe that our operations are significantly impacted by inflation. Our business is not seasonal in nature.
