PART I
ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Corporate History
 
AeroGrow International Inc. (“AeroGrow”) was formed as a Nevada corporation on March 25, 2002. Wentworth I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wentworth”) organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 6, 2001, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with us (the “Merger Agreement”) on January 12, 2006, which was consummated on February 24, 2006.  Under the Merger Agreement, Wentworth merged with and into AeroGrow, and AeroGrow was the surviving corporation (“Merger”).  Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws prior to the Merger are now those of the surviving company, and the surviving company is governed by the corporate law of the State of Nevada.

Our Business

Our principal business is developing, marketing, distributing, and selling advanced indoor aeroponic garden systems designed and priced to appeal to the gardening, cooking and small kitchen appliance, healthy eating, and home and office décor markets worldwide. Our principal activities since our formation through March 2006 consisted of product research and development, market research, business planning, and raising the capital necessary to fund these activities. We have been issued seven trademarks, one of which has been registered (AeroGarden®), and have an additional 28 trademark applications pending (25 in the United States and 3 internationally).  We have 19 patent applications pending in the United States. To date, we have completed the development of multiple proprietary growing systems and 22 proprietary seed kits. These development activities have in the past, and continue to include, an iterative process of experimentation, consumer testing, and adjustment in consultation with scientists familiar with the technology. Often, these tests are combined with in-home use of our systems by sample consumers picked from our employees and investors. User feedback from these tests is frequently incorporated in next generation products and development.
 
During 2005 we completed development of our initial kitchen garden systems and related “bio-grow” seed pods. We contracted with a third-party manufacturer who commenced production activities in December 2005 and a second manufacturer who began production in the first quarter of calendar 2007. In March 2006, we began sales activities. As of March 31, 2007, we had manufactured and taken delivery of over 140,000 AeroGarden® kitchen garden units from its two manufacturers. We commenced initial marketing and distribution of our products during March 2006 and have expanded these marketing efforts to encompass retail, home shopping, catalogue, international, and direct to consumer sales channels.
 
Our principal products are “kitchen garden” indoor growing systems and proprietary seed kits that allow consumers, with or without gardening experience, the ability to grow cherry tomatoes, cilantro, chives, basil, dill, oregano, mint, flowers, chili peppers, salad greens, vegetables and more throughout the year. Our kitchen garden systems are designed to be simple, consistently successful, and affordable. We believe that our focus on the design and features of our kitchen garden systems made them the first of their kind on the consumer market. This conclusion was reached on the basis of standard market research, including focus groups and potential customer interview techniques, review of potentially competitive products offered at all ranges of functionality and price, and testing of products that may be considered competitive in function although not necessarily competitive in market orientation.
 
We believe that our products will allow almost anyone, from consumers who have no gardening experience, to professional gardeners, to produce year-round harvests of a variety of herbs, vegetables, and flowers, which are provided in our seed kits, regardless of season, weather, or lack of natural light. We believe that our kitchen garden systems’ unique and attractive designs make them appropriate for use in almost any location, including kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and offices.
 
Our kitchen garden systems currently on the market retail at approximately $149 to $169 with variations based on the channel of distribution in which they are sold and the accessory components included with the unit.
 
Until March 2006, we were a development stage company and we did not generate any revenues. Through March 1, 2006, we funded our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities. Since commencing sales of our products, we have begun to increase our reliance on revenues generated from such sales for funding our operations. Prior to March 2006, when we commenced sales of our aeroponic garden systems, we were considered a Development Stage Enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.

 
Hydroponics Industry - Background and Opportunity
 
Hydroponics is the science of growing plants in water instead of soil. Used commercially worldwide, hydroponics is considered an advanced and often preferred crop production method. Hydroponics is typically used inside greenhouses to give growers the ability to better regulate and control nutrient delivery, light, air, water, humidity, pests and temperature. Hydroponic growers benefit by producing crops faster and enjoying higher crop yields per acre than traditional soil-based growers.

Aeroponic technology is derived from hydroponics and occurs when plant roots are suspended in an air chamber and bathed at regular intervals with a nutrient solution. AeroGrow believes that the aeroponic technology used in our kitchen garden systems is a technological advance over hydroponics because plant roots are suspended in a near 100% humidity enclosed air chamber and bathed in a nutrient-rich solution. We believe aeroponic methods ensure the plants not only have sufficient water, nutrients and oxygen, but the temperature inside the root chamber can be easily controlled, ensuring temperature stress of the plant does not limit growth. For this reason, we believe the use of a well designed and maintained aeroponic system can yield increases in growth rate and plant survival when compared to hydroponics systems.
 
From August 2002 through July 2005, we conducted research with approximately 500 individuals who were identified either because they (i) signed-up on our website to pre-order the basic AeroGrow product, (ii) agreed to be beta testers of the basic product, (iii) came to preview meetings concerning the company, or (iv) were friends of employees and consultants of AeroGrow. Persons found our website through referrals, web searches, or as a result of our fund raising and hiring activities. The research consisted of face-to-face and internet interviews/surveys with potential consumers and standard focus groups. From some of the contacts, we obtained a ten-page questionnaire, and in other instances we taped the responses for later review. Persons from approximately 35 states responded to the surveys and participated in focus groups. A professional market research consultant assisted with the design, implementation and analysis of the focus groups, individual interviews, and surveys. From this research, and the initial results of our subsequent product launch, we believe that there is a potential, sizeable national market for our countertop soil-less kitchen garden systems for use indoors in homes and offices. Until the development of our kitchen garden systems, significant barriers have prevented hydroponic or aeroponic technology from being incorporated into mainstream, mass-marketed consumer products, including:
 
·  Consumers generally lack the specialized knowledge required to select, set up, operate and maintain the various components for a typical hydroponic or aeroponic system, including growing trays, irrigation channels, growing media nutrient reservoirs, and nutrient delivery systems consisting of electronic timers, pumps, motors, tubing and nozzles;
 
·  Consumers generally do not possess the specialized knowledge required to select, set up, operate and maintain the varied indoor lighting systems that are necessary to grow plants indoors in the absence of adequate natural light;
 
·  Consumers are unable to properly mix and measure complex hydroponic nutrient formulas, which change depending on the plant variety and the stage of plant growth. In addition, consumers are unable to deal with the problem of nutrient spoilage; and
 
·  Federally-mandated water quality reports show that the water in many large cities is not suitable for hydroponic or aeroponic growing and requires chemical treatments. Consumers generally are unaware of how to adjust the water for healthy plant growth. 

We believe that these complexities have been accepted in existing hydroponic market channels because our research has indicated that hydroponic manufacturers have generally focused their product development and marketing efforts on satisfying the needs of the commercial greenhouse and dedicated hobbyist markets. These users are motivated to gain the specialized knowledge, equipment and experience currently required to successfully grow plants with these products.  Our research has indicated that the hydroponic growing equipment currently available in these markets is bulky, expensive and comprised of many parts
 
We believe that the complexities of currently available commercial hydroponic products fail to address the needs and wants of the mass consumer market, leaving that market unserved. We further believe that our trade secrets, patent-pending inventions and companion technologies have simplified and improved hydroponic and aeroponic technologies have enabled us to create the first indoor aeroponic gardening system appropriate for the mass consumer market.
 
 
Our Proprietary Technology
 
We have spent over four years innovating, simplifying, combining and integrating numerous proprietary technologies and inventions into a family of “plug and grow” aeroponic kitchen garden systems and related seed kits specifically designed and priced for the mass consumer market. We have filed 19 patent applications in the United States to protect our inventions.  Following is a description of our proprietary technologies and inventions that are used in our kitchen garden system and seed kits. The inventions under the patent applications have not been granted patents, and there can be no assurance that patents will be granted. See “Risk Factors - Our intellectual property and proprietary rights give us only limited protection and can be expensive to defend.”
 
Rainforest Nutrient Delivery System. Our “rainforest” nutrient delivery system combines our patent-pending technologies with features from several hydroponic or aeroponic methodologies into a proprietary system designed to provide aeroponic plant growth. These hydroponic or aeroponic methodologies include:
 
·  Drip Technologies. Drip systems create nutrient irrigation by pumping nutrient solution from a reservoir up to the base of the plant and saturating a soil-less growing medium. The growing medium delivers nutrients and moisture to plant roots, which is similar to rainwater as it drips through the soil and past plant roots.
 
·  Ein Gedi Aeroponic Technologies. Plant roots in aeroponic systems are suspended in an air chamber and bathed at regular intervals with nutrient solution. In the Ein Gedi variation of aeroponics, plant roots are allowed to grow directly into nutrient solution after passing through an air space.
 
Our rainforest technology suspends plant roots into a 2-to-4 inch air chamber above an oxygenated nutrient solution. Nutrients are pumped from the nutrient reservoir to the base of each plant where a regulated flow of nutrients drips down through plant roots.
 
Pre-Seeded Bio-Grow Seed Pods. Our proprietary bio-grow seed pods include pre-implanted seeds, a bio-sponge growing medium, removable bio-dome covers and a grow basket to assist with the proper distribution of moisture. We designed our seed pods for use in our kitchen garden systems. We believe consumers may use seeds purchased from other sources in our kitchen garden system, although we do not provide any assurances on germination and growth in such cases.
 
We selected the seeds to pre-implant in our initial bio-grow seed pods after two years of extensive research, which included:
 
·  analyzing thousands of seed varieties,
 
·  growing and testing several hundred varieties of plants in our greenhouse and grow laboratories, and
 
·  testing the taste and appearance of our grown vegetables, herbs and flowers with consumers.

We implant our selected seeds in a bio-sponge growing medium that, based upon our research, facilitates rapid germination and enhanced root growth in comparison to other mediums tested, as well as supports plant roots from germination through maturity and harvest. Our bio-grow domes create a “mini-greenhouse” environment by covering the grow surface to create a near-100% humidity air chamber, which is optimal for most plant germination and initial growth. Bio-grow domes help regulate moisture and temperature to levels optimal for plant germination.
 
Our proprietary bio-grow seed pods are a vital component of our kitchen garden system. Our bio-grow seed pods are packaged along with nutrients in our proprietary seed kits for use in our kitchen garden systems. These seed kits currently include seeds for cherry tomatoes, salad greens, cilantro, chives, basil, dill, oregano, mint, chili peppers and flowers as well as a variety of international herbs for Italian, Japanese, and French cooking. In addition to pre-seeded pods, we also allow consumers to purchase unseeded pods in our Master Gardner Kit, to give them the opportunity to grow their own seeds in our kitchen garden systems. Not all plants, however, are appropriate to grow in the kitchen garden system.
 
  
Microprocessor-Based Control Panel and Nutrient Cycle Delivery System. We believe that certain common problems face both experienced gardeners and beginning gardeners, including:
 
·  improperly watering plants,
 
·  improperly feeding plants, and
 
·  failing to provide plants with sufficient light for healthy growth.
 
To assist consumers, especially inexperienced gardeners, we have developed two patent-pending microprocessor-based technologies that address these common problems. These technologies are designed to:
 
·  regulate the lighting system,
 
·  automatically alert users when it is time to add water and nutrients,
 
·  help simplify and reduce consumers’ time and involvement in caring for plants,
 
·  reduce the variables and errors often made by consumers in plant care, and
 
·  enhance plant growth.
 
We have developed multiple kitchen garden systems, which are described below at “Our Kitchen Garden Systems,” with different control systems. Variations of our microprocessor-based control panel are included as a standard feature on our current kitchen garden system. This control panel includes an electronic nutrient and water reminder system and microprocessor-controlled lights that alert consumers to add water and nutrients when needed and help ensure that plants are properly fed and receive the proper lighting. In addition, with our microprocessor-based nutrient cycle delivery system the consumer selects from four plant types (lettuce, herbs, tomatoes or flowers) and the system then automatically adjusts and optimizes the nutrient, water and lighting cycles based on the plant variety selected.
 
Time-Release Nutrient Tablets. Plants require a balanced mixture of nutrients for optimal growth. Certain nutrient combinations, including calcium nitrate and magnesium sulphate, generally cannot be combined, mixed, or stored in the same container due to specific chemical reactions that bind them together and renders them useless to plants. Hydroponic growers seek to solve this problem by packaging various nutrient concentrations in up to four separate containers, which are individually measured and added as needed by the consumer. These nutrient complexities require consumers using hydroponic systems to:
 
·  understand the blends of nutrient fertilizer that are best suited for the specific variety of plants they are growing,
 
·  understand the nutrient requirements for the specific plant variety at each of three stages of our growth and maturity,
 
·  measure and blend nutrients from up to four different concentrated solutions and add them to specific measured quantities of water, and
 
·  monitor, adjust and re-mix nutrient fertilizers over time.
 
We believe that current plant nutrition processes required for successful hydroponic growing have created barriers to mass consumer use and acceptance because they are cumbersome and complex. To help overcome these barriers, we have developed time-release nutrient tablets designed specifically to deliver the proper nutrients to the plants, while offering consumers a user-friendly nutrient system. The consumer simply adds the plant-specific nutrient tablets to the kitchen garden systems when instructed (usually once every two weeks) by the microprocessor-based nutrient cycle delivery system. The nutrient tablets eliminate the need for measuring and mixing multi-part nutrient formulas and storing various nutrients in separate containers. The nutrient tablets customize multiple nutrients and minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron for specific plant varieties at different stages of their growth.
 
 
Automatic Water Adjustment. Tap water supplied by local municipalities often is not conducive to aeroponic or hydroponic growth. To address these problems, most hydroponic growers monitor and chemically adjust the water they use on a daily or weekly basis.
 
We believe that the problems associated with the wide range of water chemistry found throughout the United States (and possibly internationally), as well as the complexities involved in monitoring water chemistry, are significant barriers to the use of hydroponic gardening by the general public. We have developed a patent-pending formula that automatically adjusts and balances the water to a level capable of sustaining healthy plant growth in an aeroponic environment. This formula is pre-mixed into our time-release nutrient tablet described above, which eliminates the need for consumers to understand water chemistry.
 
Integrated and Automated Lighting System. Hydroponic systems typically do not incorporate built-in lighting systems. Lighting systems must typically be purchased as separate components and assembled by the consumers. Hydroponic lighting systems generally consist of a ballast, reflector hood, lights and an electronic timer. The consumer must suspend the lighting system over the hydroponic unit and then continually raise the lights as the plants grow. Complete lighting systems often cost hundreds of dollars, which is considerably more than the cost of our entire kitchen garden system.
 
Our kitchen garden systems include built-in adjustable grow lights with ballast, reflector hood, lights and an electronic timer. Our integrated lighting systems include high-output compact fluorescent light bulbs that deliver a spectrum and intensity of light designed to help optimize plant growth without natural light. In addition, our lighting system is fully automated and controlled by our microprocessor-based control panel described above. Improvements continue to be made in our proprietary light bulbs to facilitate better growing characteristics at lower manufacturing costs.
 
Adaptive Growth Software. Through research and testing in our grow laboratory, we have determined that better plant growth can be achieved if nutrients, moisture and lighting are adapted and customized to the specific stages of the plants’ growth: germination, initial growth and advanced growth. We have developed a proprietary software technology entitled “adaptive growth technology” which automatically analyzes and adjusts the nutrient delivery schedules based on plant maturity. We have introduced this technology into an upgraded kitchen garden system, which was introduced in the second calendar quarter of 2007.

New Technologies in Development. We continue to improve on our initial development of a methodology to cultivate and ship “live starter plants” in the grow pod mediums that will be able to grow in our kitchen garden systems. We have started market testing this process with strawberries during the first quarter of calendar 2007. We plan to expand our efforts in this area and are developing a portable greenhouse that we believe enables us to scale this methodology both geographically as well as increasing the varieties of plants offered as “live starter plants.” We have also begun development of a new aeroponic based technology that utilizes a new form of proprietary seed pod that will facilitate transfer of water using materials that transfer moisture to the seeds without the need of the pump system. This new technology is anticipated to reduce manufacturing costs with no loss of efficacy. We plan to test market a smaller version of our kitchen garden system in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007 using this new technology with a targeted retail price of $99-$129 based on the channel of distribution in which it is sold and the accessory components included with the unit.
 
 
AeroGrow’s Kitchen Garden Systems
 
AeroGrow’s Kitchen Garden Systems.  We have begun, and in some cases completed, development for multiple kitchen garden systems and have commenced marketing two of these models. Both marketed models feature the rainforest nutrient delivery system and an integrated lighting system (including the microprocessor-based control panel), and a microprocessor-based nutrient cycle delivery system. The initial/standard model of our kitchen garden system retails at approximately $149 with variations based on the channel of distribution in which it is sold and the accessory components included with the unit. In April 2007 we launched the AeroGarden Pro100 which features a stainless steel accented finish as well as our adaptive growth technology (described above) and retails at approximately $169 with variations based on the channel of distribution in which it is sold and the accessory components included with the unit.
 
AeroGrow’s Seed Kits.  We have developed and are producing 22 seed kits for use in our kitchen garden systems. These seed kits include pre-seeded bio-grow seed pods and a three-to-six-month supply of nutrients, including our formula for adjusting water quality. Our seed kits retail at prices ranging from $14.99 to $29.99. Currently developed seed kits include:
 
·  cherry tomato garden,
 
·  chili pepper garden,
 
·  gourmet herb garden,
 
·  salad greens garden,
 
·  grandiflora petunia garden,
 
·  international basil garden,
 
·  Japanese herbs,
 
·  French Herbs, and
 
·  Italian herbs.
 
Our seed kits, time-release nutrient tablets, and replacement light bulbs are also sold to consumers for use with our kitchen garden system. Additionally, with our Master Gardner Kit, seed pods are available for use by consumers who wish to try to grow their own seeds, but we do not give assurance that all varieties of plants will grow with this kit in our kitchen garden system.
 
 
Other Accessories.  To complement and expand the functionality of our kitchen garden systems, we have developed a variety of accessory products. We have developed an Herb Appeal Collection, consisting of an internally produced video and guidebook on the care and uses of herbs and a set of cutting boards. We have also developed two wall bracket systems designed to hold two or more kitchen garden systems for consumers who wish to grow more than one seed kit at a time. We have also developed our own design of a battery operated herb blender and salad dressing maker called the Herb N Serve. These products will be sold individually and will be used as premium “gifts with purchases” to enhance our direct to consumer and retail offerings.
 
Additional Future Products.  In addition to our kitchen garden systems, we are developing and plan to market in the future companion products designed to provide a successful gardening experience for consumers of all experience levels while providing a potentially continuing and profitable revenue stream for us. Our development and production of the following additional products will depend in large part on the revenues generated from future product sales and the availability of additional financings.
 
Children’s Garden. Our children’s garden is designed for simplicity and ease of use. We anticipate introducing this garden system in the toy market.
 
Decorator Office Garden. We are developing a garden system designed specifically for use in offices and work stations to introduce decorative and fragrant living flowers into the workplace.
 
Professional System. A larger-scale garden system is planned for gardening enthusiasts who want to grow large quantities of vegetables, herbs and flowers.
 
Future Seed Kits. We plan to continue development of additional seed kits on an ongoing basis including new varieties for international markets.
  
 
Markets
 
Based on our informal market research consisting of individual consumer interviews, focus groups and Internet survey responses, as well as our “sales to date” experience, we believe that our kitchen garden systems will appeal to a broad spectrum of consumers in the United States and internationally, including Europe and Japan. We believe that our products will appeal to at least four major market segments:
 
·  experienced gardeners,
 
·  “want-to-be” gardeners,
 
·  the kitchen products and small appliances market, and
 
·  the office and home décor markets.
 
Further, based on our discussions with potential distributors, we believe that our kitchen garden systems present opportunities in the specialized toy, educational, gift and hydroponic hobbyist markets.
 
 
Gardener Market. The 2002 National Gardening Survey conducted by the National Gardening Association states that gardening was America’s number one hobby with more than 70 million active gardeners. Based upon this survey, there were estimated to be: 27 million vegetable gardeners, with one out of every four households having a vegetable garden; over 15 million fresh herb gardeners; and over 20 million flower gardeners. We believe that our kitchen garden systems and related products can offer both expert and novice gardeners several major benefits not readily available through traditional gardening methods, including:
 
·  the ability to grow fresh herbs, lettuces, vegetables, tomatoes and flowers year-round, regardless of indoor light levels or seasonal weather conditions,
 
·  the ability to easily start plants indoors during colder months and then transplant them outdoors at the onset of the outdoor growing season,
 
·  the ability to use stem cuttings to propagate multiple reproductions of the desired plants in our kitchen garden systems,
 
·  the reasonable assurance that crops can grow successfully by significantly reducing potential obstacles such as uncertain weather and garden pests,
 
·  the ease of growing hydroponically in contrast to the toil associated with traditional gardening, including preparing the soil, planting, thinning, weeding and watering. 

“Want-to-be” Gardener Market. We believe that many people have an interest in gardening but lack the knowledge, confidence, available space, equipment, or time to garden. We have observed the following barriers to beginning to garden:
 
·  gardening requires an ongoing time commitment,
 
·  apartment, high-rise and condominium dwellers often lack the land needed for a traditional garden,
 
·  gardening requires physical work which can be a significant barrier to older people or people with limited mobility or health issues,
 
·  buying the necessary equipment to garden can be expensive, and
 
·  gardening requires knowledge and expertise.
 
We believe that our kitchen garden systems overcome many of these barriers and provide a simple, convenient way for many current non-gardeners to begin to garden.
 
 
Kitchen Products and Small Appliances Market. We believe that many Americans now enjoy cooking as a form of entertainment or hobby and that these people repeatedly purchase new kitchen appliances and will be motivated to purchase our kitchen garden systems and related seed kits. Consumers in this potential market include:
 
·  people interested in cooking who would appreciate the convenience and satisfaction of having a readily available supply of fresh-cut herbs and basils to flavor soups, salads and other dishes,
 
·  people who prefer the distinctive texture and taste of freshly picked, vine-ripened tomatoes, basils, lettuces and other vegetables over days-old supermarket produce, and
 
·  people interested in healthy, pesticide-free foods for themselves and their families, reflecting both the rapidly growing interest in naturally and organically grown foods and the increasing number of people who, for health or weight concerns, include salads and fresh vegetables as part of their families’ diets.
 
We believe that our kitchen garden systems will be embraced in this market by people who understand the value of having an ongoing supply of fresh herbs and vine-ripened produce throughout the year.
 
Office and Home Decor Market. Flowers are frequently used to brighten homes and offices around the world. It is difficult to readily grow flowers indoors due to a lack of sufficient light and growing knowledge. As a result, people often use cut flowers, which are expensive, short-lived and require ongoing maintenance. Our kitchen garden systems enable colorful and fragrant flowers to be easily grown indoors year-round. Flowers grown with our kitchen garden systems will last for months with minimal care and maintenance. Flowers can be grown in a wide variety of indoor locations, including kitchen and bathroom countertops, living rooms, bedrooms, family rooms, offices, work stations, waiting rooms and lobbies.
 
Specialty Markets. We believe that several specialized markets potentially exist for our garden systems in the future, including:

 Marketing and Sales Strategy
 
We began launching our kitchen garden system in the United States during the first quarter of 2006 with a nationwide public relations campaign. Initial test marketing shipments to retail launch partners, including Sur La Table, Frontgate, and others commenced in March 2006. As launch partners, we agreed to feature Sur La Table and Frontgate in the Company’s public relations efforts. In addition, we paid Sur La Table a $30,000 fee for full page advertisement in Sur La Table’s catalogue distributed to over one million consumers. We granted exclusive rights to Frontgate as a catalogue retailer through December 1, 2006, in exchange for Frontgate’s agreement to provide full page advertisements within their catalogues for the AeroGarden through the end of 2006. We have developed many of our marketing materials, including our website, product brochures, retail packaging and other retail collateral materials, public relations kits, in-store point of purchase supplies, infomercial, and short-form (60 to 120 seconds) television commercials. Our planned marketing strategy is to follow our initial launch with sales of our products through direct marketing vehicles and then expanded distribution through retail channels. We plan to expand our marketing and distribution internationally in the third calendar quarter of 2007. Our direct marketing activities include 30-minute infomercials, 60-second and 120-second television spots, home shopping networks, print advertising, catalogue mailings and Internet-based advertising. Our plan is designed to educate prospective customers while creating widespread awareness of our kitchen garden systems and generating direct sales in four key target markets: the experienced gardener market, the “want-to-be” gardener market, the kitchen products and small appliances markets, and the office and home décor market.
 
 
Competition
 
Aeroponic and hydroponic technologies have historically been limited to ardent hobbyists and commercial growing facilities. We believe that we are the first company to develop and offer a simple soil-less indoor growing system for the mass consumer market.
 
Typical hydroponic manufacturers offer a range of equipment and accessories through distributors or small independent “hydro-shops” in a trade-oriented manner similar to plumbing or electrical suppliers. Purchasers typically mix and match equipment from various suppliers in an “a la carte” fashion to individually customize a large system that they then assemble on their premises. We believe that these products are substantially more expensive than the selling prices of our products.
 
We believe that our simplified and complete kitchen garden systems and current and planned methods of distribution offer significant benefits from these traditional hydroponic industry practices.  However, we recognize that there are companies that are better funded and have greater experience in producing hydroponic products in commercial markets, including, but not limited to, companies such as General Hydroponics and American Hydroponics. These companies could potentially decide to focus on the consumer market with competing products. We could also potentially face competition from gardening wholesalers and large and profitable soil-based gardening companies, including, but not limited to, the Burpee Seed Company and Gardener’s Supply Company, should they decide to produce a competitive product. These companies may have better consumer acceptance and may be better funded than us.
 
Manufacturing
 
We manufacture our products using contract manufacturing sources, which are supervised by our internal engineering and manufacturing teams. Our bio-grow seed pods are currently produced and assembled in our laboratory facilities in Longmont, Colorado.
 
We signed a tri-party manufacturing agreement with Source Plus, Inc. (“Source Plus”), an Alabama corporation, and Mingkeda Industries Co., Ltd. (“Mingkeda”), a Chinese company, for the manufacture of our kitchen garden systems and accessories. Source Plus assisted us in identifying companies in China that had the capability to manufacture our kitchen garden systems. Source Plus advanced monies to Mingkeda for tooling and molds to build our products. To reimburse Source Plus for advances to Mingkeda for tooling, we issued 62,000 shares of our common stock to Source Plus in October 2005 and recorded a $310,000 asset for tooling. Source Plus is also obligated to provide us with quality control inspection services at Mingkeda’s factory. Mingkeda has informed us that it can currently produce 15,000 kitchen garden systems per month and will eventually be able to produce approximately 25,000 kitchen garden systems per month with our existing set of tools. As of March 31, 2007, we have received approximately 85,000 units from Mingkeda with over 20,000 additional units in process. Mingkeda estimates that it can add the additional set of tools and presses within 60 to 90 days following our notification.

We have completed two sets of tooling with a second contract manufacturer, Main Power Electrical Factory Ltd., which is located in China (“Main Power”). During the first calendar quarter of 2007, AeroGrow began receiving delivery of production units built by Main Power. Production capacity at Main Power is estimated to be 50,000 units per month for each set of tools.
 
We produce and assemble our bio-grow seed pods in our laboratory facilities in Longmont, Colorado. The seed pods and kitchen garden systems are shipped to a fulfillment center in Chino, California. A third party service provider provides warehousing, order fulfillment, and shipping for our products.
 
Product Returns and Warranties
 
 We have had limited sales to date and thus, have limited experience dealing with returns. We currently process returns at a third party distribution center and at our facilities in Longmont, Colorado. We anticipate that we will send unopened returned products back into inventory and repair defective products to sell as refurbished products. We are also utilizing a “Destroy in Field” methodology for certain customers as the cost of shipping the return, if used, does not justify the value of the recovered unit. In these cases, the customer is required to cut the power cord ands send it back to obtain a credit.  Our manufacturers will provide us at no charge with replacement part assemblies for products which are deemed defective due to materials or manufacturing complications. We record warranty liabilities at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred under our basic warranty program. The specific warranty terms and conditions vary depending upon the product sold but generally include technical support, repair parts, labor for periods up to one year. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of installed units currently under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims on those units, and cost per claim to satisfy our warranty obligation.

We believe that the technology covered by these patent applications does not infringe on issued patents owned by others. We believe that if we fail to receive patents for any one of these patent applications, our operations will not be materially, adversely affected. We believe that failure to obtain patents, however, will make it easier for competitors to bring competitive products to market. If such competitive products performed better and/or were marketed by companies with greater financial and distribution resources than us, such competitive products may adversely affect our operations. In addition to the patents being sought, we maintain some crucial information about our products as trade secrets. The inventions under the patent applications have not been granted patents, and there can be no assurance that patents will be granted.

Each of our employees, independent contractors and consultants has executed assignment of application agreements and nondisclosure agreements. The assignment of application agreements grant us the right to own inventions and related patents which may be granted in the United States. The nondisclosure agreements generally provide that these people will not disclose our confidential information to any other person without our prior written consent. We have also obtained, both domestically and internationally, the domain names for AeroGrow.com, AeroGarden.com, AeroGarden.net, AeroGarden.tv, AeroGarden.biz, and Getthegarden.com, among others.
 
Governmental Regulation and Certification
 
We believe that we are complying with United States regulations concerning the shipping and labeling of seeds and nutrients. Currently, the components for the kitchen garden system are UL certified. We have filed initial applications for UL certification and ETL certification for the kitchen garden system as a whole and anticipate completion within 60 days. These certifications confirm that the products have been tested and conform to a recognized level of fire and other safety standards for consumers. Such independent third party certification is required for sales of products through many major retailers.


We believe that our costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws will not be material.
 
Personnel
 
As of March 31, 2007, we employed approximately 71 persons - 59 full-time and 12 part-time. In addition, we contract for the services of part-time and project consultants on an “as needed” basis. We believe that our employee relations are good. We also believe that we will hire additional employees and/or consultants in the future as our operations grow. We outsource some activities, in whole or part, such as manufacturing, telemarketing, public relations, infomercial production, fulfillment, and shipping.
 
 
ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 
On July 27, 2006, we entered into a lease with Pawnee Properties, LLC to consolidate our operations, other than our seed kit manufacturing operations, into a 21,012 square foot office space at 6075 Longbow Drive, Boulder, Colorado 80301. The initial rent is $15,759 per month, plus our proportionate share of building taxes, insurance and operating expenses. The initial term continues until January 31, 2012, unless modified under specified circumstances. The agreement contains other standard office lease provisions.
 
We also rent storage and manufacturing space in Longmont, Colorado, pursuant to a month-to-month rental agreement. Effective April 1, 2007, the space rented was increased from approximately 11,000 square feet to 22,000 square feet and the monthly rental was increased from $5,600 to $10,100. AeroGrow uses this space to manufacture our seed pods.
 
While our facilities appear adequate for the foreseeable future, we may add space to meet future growth as needed. Upon expiration of our current leases, we believe that we will be able to either renew our existing leases or arrange new leases in nearby locations on acceptable terms. We believe that these properties are adequately covered by insurance.
 
ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
To the best of our knowledge, there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against us.
 
ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
None.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
The following plan of operation provides information which our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our business, operations, and financial condition. This plan of operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ substantially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements included in this discussion as a result of various factors, including those set forth in “Risk Factors.”
 
Overview
 
We are in the business of developing, marketing, and distributing advanced indoor aeroponic garden systems. Since formation and through our development stage that ended March 1, 2006, our principal activities consisted of product research and development, market research, business planning, and raising the capital necessary to fund these activities. We have completed development of our initial kitchen garden systems and related “bio-grow” seed pods and have contracted with a third-party manufacturers who have commenced production activities. We began sales activities as of March 2006. As of March 31, 2007, we had manufactured and taken delivery of over 140,000 units of our kitchen garden systems and had manufactured over 400,000 seed kits. We commenced initial marketing and distribution of our products during March 2006, and have expanded these marketing efforts to encompass retail, home shopping, catalogue, international, and direct to consumer sales channels. Prior to March 2006 when we commenced sales of our aeroponic garden systems, we were considered a Development Stage Enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.

Our Critical Accounting Policies

Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. When we are the manufacturer, we include in inventory costs raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. We record the raw materials at delivered cost. Standard labor and manufacturing overhead costs are applied to the finished goods based on normal production capacity as prescribed under ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing.” A majority of our products are manufactured overseas and are recorded at cost.

We will determine an inventory obsolescence reserve based on historical experience and will establish reserves against inventory according to the age of the product. As of March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 we had determined that no inventory obsolescence reserve was required.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from product sales, net of estimated returns, when persuasive evidence of a sale exists: that is, a product is shipped under an agreement with a customer; risk of loss and title has passed to the customer; the fees are fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Accordingly, we did not record $451,898 of revenue as of March 31, 2007 related to the unpaid balance due for orders shipped in conjunction with our direct sales to consumers because the consumer has thirty-six days to evaluate the product paying the shipping and handling costs for such products before making the required installment payments after the expiration of the thirty-six day trial period. We also, as of March 31, 2007, did not record $135,459 of product costs associated with the foregoing revenue because the customer is required to return the product in order to cancel further billing, and therefore we are able to recover these costs through resale of the goods. The liability for sales returns are estimated based upon historical experience of return levels.
 
 
We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer and distributor programs and incentive offerings, including promotions and other volume-based incentives. Future market conditions and product transitions may require us to take actions to increase customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the incentives are offered. Additionally, certain incentive programs require us to estimate based on industry experience the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive. At March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, we had accrued $65,385 and $0, respectively, as our estimate for the foregoing deductions and allowances.

Warranty and Return Reserves
We record warranty liabilities at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred under our basic warranty program. The specific warranty terms and conditions vary depending upon the product sold but generally include technical support, repair parts and labor for periods up to one year. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of installed units currently under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims on those units, and cost per claim to satisfy our warranty obligation.  Both manufacturers of our products provide replacement parts for any defective components free of charge for up to 2% of the total units purchased.  Based upon the foregoing, we have recorded a provision for potential future warranty costs of $15,393 as of March 31, 2007. There was no provision required as of March 31, 2006.

We reserve for potential returns from customers and associated refunds or credits related to such returns based upon historical experience. As of March 31, 2007, we have recorded a reserve for customer returns of $238,569. There was no provision required as of March 31, 2006.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are recorded in cost of revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with freight out to customers are also included in cost of revenue. Shipping and handling charges to customers are included in sales.

Stock Based Compensation
 In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” Subsequently, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) provided for a phase-in implementation process for SFAS No. 123R, which required adoption of the new accounting standard no later than January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires accounting for stock options using a fair-value-based method as described in such statement and recognize the resulting compensation expense in the Company’s financial statements. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations, which generally results in no employee stock option expense. We adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006 and do not plan to restate financial statements for prior periods. We plan to continue to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model in estimating the fair value of the stock option awards issued under SFAS No. 123R. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R has increased net loss by $560,859 and $3,315,840 for the year ended March 31, 2007 and the three month transitional period ended March 31, 2006, respectively, as compared to using our prior method under APB 25.

Registration Rights Penalties
             The holders of securities issued in the our 2006 Offering and 2005 Offering (see Note 4 to our Financial Statements) had registration rights for the common stock and for the common stock underlying the convertible debt and the warrants held by them. Liquidated damages for failure to register and maintain registration for such common stock are payable in shares of our common stock under certain circumstances and are equal to 1% of the amount of the outstanding convertible debt per 30-day period up to a maximum of 24% and 1% of the amount of the investment in the 2006 Offering up to a maximum of 18%. In each case, the amount is payable in shares of our common stock valued at a rate of $2.00 per share. We elected to recognize the impact of such registration rights penalties as incurred, which commenced after July 23, 2006. We completed the registration of the foregoing securities on December 22, 2006 and recognized five months of penalty, resulting in the recording of 332,876 shares of common stock to be issued at a value of $5.00 for a total of $1,664,380. On December 21, 2006, the FASB Financial Statement Publication (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2 that addresses the accrual and accounting for registration rights penalties became effective immediately. This FSP addresses the proper accounting of similarly arranged registration rights agreements entered into after the effective date of December 21, 2006.  The Company adopted EITF 00-19-2 as of its effective date and does not expect the adoption to be significantly different from our current policy.
 
 
New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 , “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 48 may have on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 requires that public companies utilize a “dual-approach” to assessing the quantitative effects of financial misstatements. This dual approach includes both an income statement focused assessment and a balance sheet focused assessment. The guidance in SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We believe the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement 157.” We will adopt SFAS 159 in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Having launched our products through multiple channels including retail, home shopping, catalogue, international and direct to consumer sales, our objective over the next 12 months will be to expand our marketing efforts in each of these channels for our kitchen garden systems and peripheral products. Our infomercial, a 30-minute video presentation of the product, has been airing on national cable and local broadcast television stations since September 2006 and we anticipate continued airings through the balance of calendar year 2007.
 
We are also expanding our product development activities to sustain operations beyond our initial product offerings. Development has begun and, in some cases has been completed, for final design and tooling of new models of our AeroGarden kitchen appliances, including models that offer additional features and finishes which are designed for higher price points than our current system, as well models which will have smaller growing capacities and require smaller counter space, designed to sell for lower price points. These lower priced products may be introduced into specialty channels of distribution such as toy channels for a children’s garden, coffee shops for a tea garden, office channels for desktop garden, etc. We also continue to enhance our offerings of seed kits and accessories, with available seed kits growing from the six that were available in March 2006 to over 20 by March 2007, including the sale and distribution of live strawberry plants developed to grow in the AeroGarden system. We have also expanded our line of accessories to include the wall garden, a shelving unit that enables users to mount from one to three AeroGardens systems on the wall vertically in less than 16 inches. Consumers can mount up to three of these wall gardens next to each other using only one electrical outlet (collectively know as “The Wall Farm”), allowing consumers to grow a large abundance of fresh homegrown produce year round. We have also developed and launched our Herb N Serve, a battery operated mixer/blender designed to allow the consumer to make salad dressing using herbs from the AeroGarden and serve it from the same container.
 
We have completed development of many of our marketing materials, including infomercials and short form (60 and 120 seconds) television commercials, multiple websites, product brochures, retail packaging, point of purchase displays and other retail collateral materials and public relations kits. We continue to dedicate financial and management resources to the improvement of our marketing and sales materials and processes.
 
 
Manufacturing
 
We manufacture our products using contract manufacturing sources that are supervised by our internal engineering and manufacturing teams. Our bio-grow seed pods are currently manufactured and assembled in our production facilities in Longmont, Colorado.
 
On September 30, 2005, we entered into a manufacturing agreement with Source Plus, Inc. (“Source Plus”) an Alabama corporation, and Mingkeda Industries Co., Ltd. (“Mingkeda”), a Chinese company located in the Guangdong Province of China that has primarily manufactured light fixtures in the past. Under the terms of this agreement, Source Plus advanced monies to Mingkeda for tooling and molds to build our products. To reimburse Source Plus, we issued 62,000 shares of our common stock to Source Plus in October 2005 and recorded a $310,000 asset for tooling, which we will depreciate over a period of three years to reflect the estimated useful life of the tooling. AeroGrow and Source Plus have agreed to certain selling restrictions on our sale of common stock. Further, in return for a $0.50 per unit price concession from Mingkeda for products we purchase, we issued 10,000 shares of our common stock to Mingkeda in October 2005. These shares are subject to the same selling restrictions as the stock issued to Source Plus. AeroGrow recorded a $50,000 expense for inventory which we charged to cost of sales during the initial year.
 
This agreement provides for payment of the purchase price of products manufactured by Mingkeda as follows: 30% paid 25 days prior to shipment, 50% paid upon shipment, and the remaining 20% paid 20 days after shipment. The purchase price is determined based upon a fixed percentage for profit (14% for light bulbs, 29% for all other products); overhead and labor are applied to actual component costs. We have also agreed to pay to Source Plus a commission of 2% of the total purchases of the product with such payments to be made using the same proportions as our payments to Mingkeda. In addition, Source Plus is entitled to receive 2% of all our purchases of kitchen gardens, from all sources, for a period of 18 months from the date of the initial shipment from Mingkeda. Mingkeda will manufacture and ship the products as and when required by us and will maintain an agreed level of quality. Currently, Mingkeda has the capacity to produce 15,000 per month and has agreed to develop sufficient capacity to manufacture up to 25,000 kitchen garden systems per month. We will have the right to audit Mingkeda’s manufacturing performance periodically and maintain an agent in the Mingkeda plant to inspect our production.
 
The manufacturing agreement with Mingkeda and Source Plus provides for protection of our intellectual property rights. Under the agreement, Source Plus is specifically responsible for working as the liaison between us and Mingkeda with responsibility for oversight of quality control in the manufacturing of the products, review of specifications and Mingkeda’s compliance, monitoring of order fulfillment, and similar tasks related to quality of the finished goods. Source Plus receives a 2% commission for their work. Mingkeda manufactures the product to our specifications at a predetermined line item component and assembly cost that will not change unless there are changes in exchange rate or cost of raw materials. We must approve changes in cost.
 
In order to diversify our risk from having a single manufacturer, as well as provide for capacity beyond that of Mingkeda, we identified and commenced production with an additional contract manufacturing source, Main Power Electrical Factory Ltd (Main Power). We have completed two sets of tooling with Main Power for a production capacity of 100,000 per month of our original kitchen garden units. We have also developed, through Main Power, tooling for a new model, the AeroGarden Pro100, which features a stainless steel accented finish as well as our Adaptive Growth technology. During the first calendar quarter of 2007, we began receiving delivery of production units built by Main Power. Purchasing terms with Main Power are 100% payment upon shipment through commercial bills of exchange. As of March 31, 2007, we have recorded $289,335 in tooling costs related to tooling at Main Power for two models of our AeroGarden. We have paid Main Power $35,736 in deposits toward tooling costs, and we owe $35,736 in additional deposits, we have amortized $7,968 of tooling costs to date and have an additional $210,296 due as of March 31, 2007 to be amortized at the rate of $0.20 per unit.
 
In addition, we have increased research and development and production capacity for seed kits for our kitchen garden systems at our facility in Longmont, Colorado. We expect to continue to dedicate financial and management resources to the improvement of operating efficiencies and production capacity at this facility.
 
 
Retail Marketing and Sales
 
We began testing various direct marketing advertisements during the third and fourth calendar quarter of 2006 including:
 
·  60-second television commercials,
 
·  30-minute infomercials,
 
·  home shopping networks, and
 
·  Internet advertising.
 
We have been airing our infomercial we produced on national cable and broadcast television, spending approximately $2.0 million in media through March 31, 2007. We expect that the exposure for our products that will be generated from the infomercial and other direct response marketing advertising will broaden the AeroGarden brand and product recognition in all channels of distribution.
 
In July 2006, the AeroGarden was featured on QVC, the world’s largest television retailer, and had multiple additional airings since that time, including an airing in April 2007 which featured the Pro100 model of AeroGarden throughout QVC’s broadcast day, a promotion known as “Today’s Special Value” or “TSV.”
 
We have expanded our presence in catalogues from our catalogue launch partner, Frontgate, to multiple catalogues including Brookstone, Plow and Hearth, Improvements and others, all of which we believe add to the growing consumer recognition of their products. We also continue to expand our retail distribution with over 1,350 retail stores to date carrying AeroGarden products nationwide in multiple channels including housewares, culinary, lawn and garden and department stores. Included in the foregoing is Linens ‘n Things with other chain wide distribution anticipated for the remainder of calendar 2007 including JC Penney’s, Sears and others. The AeroGarden has received recognition from retailers such as Amazon.com whose customers voted the AeroGarden the “Most Wished For” home and garden product of 2006, the media, including features in nationally recognized television shows such as the “Today Show” and the “Ellen Degeneres” show and the housewares industry, with the AeroGarden receiving "Best in Category" from the International Housewares Association in the "Food Preparation" category based upon the AeroGarden’s innovative technology, user benefits and market response.
 
We have developed a nationwide network of manufacturer sales representative organizations with experience in each of these retail categories to manage sales activities for these channels. These sales representatives are independent contractors compensated by commission based on the sales they generate. Although our gross profit margins will be lower when selling through retail channels, we will not incur the relatively higher advertising costs associated with our direct response marketing. Our ability to continue to expand and maintain sales through retail channels will depend on the success of our public relations and direct marketing campaigns in generating awareness for our products, the retailers’ ability and willingness to merchandise our products, and continued consumer acceptance for our kitchen garden systems.
 
Distribution
 
Through December 31, 2006, we had contracted with a third party service provider in Reno, Nevada to fulfill, store and ship our products. As of January 1, 2007, we terminated our relationship with the company in Reno, Nevada and relocated our warehousing and fulfillment to a new third party facility,Motivational Fulfillment and Logistics Services (“Motivational”), located in Chino, California. We believe this change has reduced inbound and outbound freight costs as well as fulfillment and handling charges and reduced time to market as a result of our location near the major sea ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, California. Motivational provides warehousing, order packing, and shipping for the products sold (through both direct response channels and retail channels) on primarily a variable cost basis. Costs for warehousing, order packing, and shipping for the products sold through direct response channels are included in the shipping and handling charge paid by the direct response purchaser. For retail distribution, the costs for warehousing, order packing, and shipping are lower because of the efficiencies gained in shipping larger quantities per order. Freight costs will vary significantly depending upon quantity ordered and destination, but range from 3% to 5% of sales net of reimbursement from customers. A different third party service provider, Web-Ideals LLC, also provides payment processing, database management, and customer support services for direct response sales. We manage the majority of our consumer and retailer customer support from our own call center facilities located in our headquarters in Boulder, Colorado.
 
We have contracted with a telemarketing company, LiveOps, Inc. to provide operators who will take calls from consumers responding to our direct response marketing. This contract may be cancelled upon 30 days notice. These orders and the orders received on our website are provided to our third party service provider daily to be fulfilled. Telemarketing costs per order are approximating 4% of direct response sales.
 
 
International Sales
 
We have begun to build our international distributor network and have entered into agreements with distributors in Japan, Mexico and Canada. On September 1, 2006, we retained the services of a consultant in London to assist in developing our international distributor network in Europe and Asia. We anticipate finalizing distribution agreements in key markets such as Germany and the United Kingdom by the end of September 2007 and have obtained electrical approvals and seed kit customs clearance for our kitchen garden products, enabling distribution to commence in Europe and Japan during the early part of the third calendar quarter of 2007. The terms of our international agreements generally provide for a test period commencing from the first shipment of product, usually around 90 to 120 days, during which the distributor will air the infomercial and otherwise evaluate the product potential in their market. Thereafter, if electing to go forward, the distributor will be subject to minimum purchase requirements on a quarterly or semi-annual basis based upon the size of the market and the distribution channels granted the distributor in the market.

Inflation and Seasonality
 
We do not expect inflation to have a significant effect on our operations in the foreseeable future. Because our kitchen garden systems are designed for an indoor gardening experience, it is likely that we may experience slower sales in the United States during June through September when our consumers may tend to garden outdoors. In addition, we had increased sales during the holiday season in the fourth calendar quarter. We have had only one year of operations, but it does appear that we have some seasonality.  We intend to sell to our international distributors in US Dollars thereby minimizing effects from currency fluctuations. Our purchases from China may be affected by changes in valuation of the US Dollar as compared to the Chinese Yuan.
 
Results of Operations

The year ended March 31, 2007 represented our first full year of revenues from operations. Initial shipments of our products began in March 2006.  The following table sets forth, as a percentage of sales, our quarterly financial results for this first 12 months of operations:

For the year ended March 31, 2007, net sales totaled $13,144,037.  In the prior period, which was a transitional three-month period ended March 31, 2006, we recorded our first sales of $35,245. Direct sales are generated as a result of airings of our infomercial, our websites and other direct to consumer advertisements. Retail sales are generated through sales to “brick and mortar” retailers, catalogues and home shopping companies who in turn sell to consumers. In regard to our direct sales, we offer our direct customers thirty-six days to evaluate the product (“Trial Sales”) paying only the shipping and handling costs for such products before making the required installment payments after the expiration of the thirty-six day trial period. Accordingly, we did not record $451,898 of revenue as of March 31, 2007 related to the unpaid balance due for orders shipped in conjunction with these Trial Sales. Also, as of March 31, 2007, we did not record $135,459 of product costs associated with the foregoing Trial Sales because the customer is required to return the product and we are therefore able to recover these costs through resale of the goods.

During the year ended March 31, 2007, we had two retail customers who accounted for 15% ($1,962,968) and 10% ($1,303,899), respectively, of our net sales.
 
 
Cost of revenues for the year ended March 31, 2007 totaled $8,404,507 representing 64% of revenues for the year. Cost of revenues include product costs for purchased and manufactured products, freight costs for inbound freight from manufacturers and outbound freight to customers, costs related to warehousing and the shipping of products to customers and duties and customs applicable to products imported. Throughout the initial year of our product launch, we were able to improve both manufacturing costs and transportation costs as evidenced by the above table. Included in cost of revenue for the year ended March 31, 2007 are costs associated with expedited shipping of approximately 15,000 of our AeroGarden units from our factory in China by air rather than by sea in order to expedite our initial deliveries in April 2006, and to satisfy customer demands in the November/December 2006 holiday timeframe at an incremental airfreight cost of $27 per unit, as well as airfreight costs associated with expediting components parts for our seed kits in the January  2007 timeframe for a total of additional freight cost of approximately $490,000. We also experienced higher than anticipated costs in the startup of our seed kit manufacturing operations which improved throughout the year ended March 31, 2007 as efficiencies in manufacturing seed kits due to improvements in both process and volume were realized.With the additional factory capacity that enables more efficient component purchasing, manufacturing cost reductions related to integration of electrical components, relocation of our distribution facilities to California improving inbound and outbound freight costs and the ability to maintain adequate inventory levels thereby avoiding air  freight costs, we anticipate further reductions in costs of revenues in the next 12 months.

Gross margins vary based upon the factors impacting cost of revenue discussed above as well as the ratio of direct sales versus retail sales. In a direct to consumer sale, we recognize as revenue the full purchase price for the product as opposed to retail sales, where we recognize as revenue the wholesale price for the product charged to the retailer. Media costs associated with direct sales are included in sales and marketing costs. Gross margins for the year ended March 31, 2007 were $4,739,530 representing 36% of revenues. Affecting gross margins for the year ended March 31, 2007, as discussed above, were airfreight costs of $490,000, reducing gross margins by 4%. With the addition of the new manufacturing capability, we expect to have sufficient manufacturing capacity to avoid such airfreight costs in the future. There are further reductions possible from obtaining regulatory approval to produce selected seed kits in China to be shipped with the AeroGarden which would result in up to 60% cost savings for such seed kits as compared to current manufacturing costs in Colorado. At present no assurances can be given that such regulatory approval can be obtained.

Sales and marketing costs for the year ended March 31, 2007 totaled $7,117,613. Sales and marketing costs for the year ended March 31, 2007, the three-month transitional period ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 include all costs associated with the marketing sales and distribution of our products and consists of the following:

Advertising is primarily comprised of media costs for airing of the our infomercial which we consider a key component of our marketing strategy in that in helps build awareness and therefore consumer demand for all channels of distribution as well as generating revenues from direct to consumer sales. We anticipate continued airing of our current infomercial through December 2007. Salaries and related costs consist of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits and other payroll costs for our sales, customer service operations, graphics and marketing departments. Stock based compensation represents charges related to the granting of stock options and grants to employees and consultants that service the foregoing departments.  Infomercial production costs represent costs related to the development, production, editing and revision of our thirty minute infomercial and short form (0:60 and 1:20 second) television commercials. We intend to produce and test market at least two new infomercials for products in development for airing in calendar year 2008. Sales commissions represent commissions 7% of collections from net sales paid to sales representative organizations that assisted us in opening and maintaining our retail customers. We have recently renegotiated the agreements with our sales representative organizations to sliding scales based upon the size of the customers and, as a result, anticipate the aggregate percentage rate of these commissions to decline in the next 12 months.

General and administrative costs for the year ended March 31, 2007 totaled $4,050,312. General and administrative costs for the three month transitional period ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 were $2,010,907 and $2,923,792, respectively. Included in general and administrative costs for the year ended March 31, 2007 were $356,720 in stock based compensation related to employee stock option and restricted stock grants, $362,830 in legal fees and $322,541 of consulting fees. For the three month transitional period ended March 31, 2006, general and administrative costs included $1,332,540 in stock based compensation related to employee stock option and restricted stock grants.
 
 
Research and Development

During the year ended March 31, 2007 we incurred $2,113,255 in research and development costs, inclusive of $336,482 in compensation relating to the granting of restricted stock and stock options during the year. During the three-month transitional period ended March 31, 2006, we incurred $978,539 in research and development costs, inclusive of $573,916 in compensation relating to the granting of stock options granted March 28, 2006.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, we incurred $1,578,833 in research and development costs. We initially focused our efforts on determining if an aeroponic product could be developed for consumer use in the home at attractive prices.  We then focused on developing the design, technology and various prototype models.  In addition, we set up a greenhouse and laboratory to measure the success of growing herbs, vegetables and flowers with various seeds, cuttings and nutrients under different lighting conditions.  Finally, we filed patent applications for certain of the technology used in our kitchen garden systems.

In the next 12 months we intend to continue researching and developing new product designs and product extensions including, but not limited to, nutrient delivery systems and additional seed varieties for our seed kits.  We have also begun development of a methodology to cultivate and ship live “starter” plants in the grow pod mediums that will be able to grow in our kitchen garden systems. We started market testing this process with strawberries during the first quarter of calendar 2007. We have also initiated development of a new aeroponic based technology which utilizes a new form of proprietary seed pod that will facilitate transfer of water using materials that facilitate the transfer of moisture to the seeds without the need of the pump system. This new technology is anticipated to reduce manufacturing costs of our kitchen garden systems with no loss of efficacy. We also plan to introduce a smaller version of our kitchen garden system in the fourth calendar quarter of 2007 using this new technology with a targeted retail price of $99-$129 based on the channel of distribution in which it is sold and the accessory components included with the unit. Partially offsetting future increases in these costs will be cost savings associated with research and development resources available to us through our new manufacturer provided at minimal costs to us including resources for design, prototyping and regulatory approvals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On March 12 and March 15, 2007, we completed a private offering of 833,400 units of our common stock and warrants to purchase common stock and on March 29, 2007, we completed a private offering of 333,360 units of our common stock and warrants to purchase common stock (“2007 Offerings”). Each unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.001, and one five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The units were sold at a per unit price of $6.00. We raised an aggregate of $7,000,000 from the 2007 Offerings, less a placement agent fee in the amount of $700,000 and approximately $100,000 in other expenses related to the 2007 Offerings. The holders of securities issued in the 2007 Offerings had registration rights for the common stock and for the common stock underlying the warrants held by them. Liquidated damages for failure to register and maintain registration for such common stock were payable in cash under certain circumstances and were limited to 1% of the amount of the investment per 30-day period made up to a maximum of 10%. We completed the registration of $5.0 million of the 2007 Offerings on May 11, 2007 and we intend to file a registration statement for the remaining $2.0 million of the 2007 Offerings within the 120 day required time for filing such registration statement.

As of March 31, 2007, we had a cash balance of approximately $5,495,000. We anticipate that existing cash resources will be sufficient for the next 12 months.
 
We anticipates our principal sources of liquidity during the next fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 will be proceeds from sales of our products. We intends\ to use our working capital principally to purchase inventory, fund media advertising, fund product promotion and trade show costs as well as support ongoing product development, overheads and operational costs. In the event retail and/or direct response sales accelerate more rapidly than currently anticipated, we would need to support this growth through additional asset-based or other debt financing or the raising of additional equity. However, no assurance that such financing will be available on attractive terms or at all.
 
As of March 31, 2007, we had generated net proceeds of $23,730,751 from the sale of securities.
 
We have used the funds raised to date to:
 
·  complete the research and development of our kitchen garden systems,
 
·  commence manufacturing of one model of our kitchen garden and ten varieties of seed kits.
 
·  develop our direct response marketing advertisements including one 30-minute infomercial and several 60-second television commercials, and
 
·  launch our public relations campaign.

· launch our initial products through direct response, retail, catalogue and home shopping distribution channels.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 We have certain current commitments under operating leases and have not entered into any capital leases or contracts for financial derivative instruments such as futures, swaps and options.
 
 
RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO OPERATIONS
 
Because we have a limited operating history, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve profitability.
 
We have a limited operating history upon which you can base your evaluation of our prospects and the potential value of our common stock. We recently have begun to produce our garden systems and seed kits. We are confronted with the risks inherent in a start-up company, including difficulties and delays in connection with the production and sales of our kitchen garden systems, reliance on a small number of products, operational difficulties and our potential under-estimation of production and administrative costs. If we cannot successfully manage our business, we may not be able to generate future profits and may not be able to support our operations. We expect to incur substantial additional expenses and losses in the further implementation of our business plan. Because we are in the early stages of implementing our business plan, we cannot predict now if we will ever be profitable. We may not be able to improve operations and therefore may not become profitable.
 
We have incurred substantial losses since inception and may never achieve profitability.
 
Since we commenced operations in 2002 and through March 31, 2007, we have incurred substantial operating losses. For the year ended March 31, 2007, we had a net loss of $10,386,451; for the transition period of the three months ended March 31, 2006, we had a net loss of $7,543,343; for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, we had a net loss of $7,717,577. Since inception, our losses from operations have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $29,792,163 as of March 31, 2007. We expect that our operating expenses will outpace revenues for the near future and result in continued losses. The success of our business will depend on its ability to expand sales and distribution of our AeroGarden™ kitchen garden systems to consumers and develop new product extensions and applications.
 
We are subject to many of the risks common to developing enterprises, including undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to financial and other resources, and lack of revenues to be self-sustaining. There is no assurance that we will ever obtain profitability, which may lead to the loss of your entire investment.
 
If our kitchen garden systems fail to perform properly, our business could suffer with increased costs and reduced income.
 
Although we have been internally testing our products in our laboratories and with users for over three years, our products may fail to meet consumer expectations. We have only limited experience with returns and have no meaningful history with respect to warranty claims for our products. We may be required to replace or repair products or refund the purchase price to consumers. Failure of our products to meet expectations could:


·  damage our reputation,
 
·  decrease sales,
 
·  incur costs related to returns and repairs,
 
·  delay market acceptance of our products,
 
·  result in unpaid accounts receivable, and
 
·  divert our resources to remedy the malfunctions.
 
The occurrence of any of these events would have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
 
 
We will likely need additional capital to fund our growth.
 
We anticipate that we have sufficient capital to satisfy our requirements for the next 12 months. However, we will likely require additional capital to support our growth and cover operational expenses as we expand our marketing and product development. It is possible that none of our outstanding warrants will be exercised and we will therefore not receive any proceeds therefrom. We may need to issue equity, debt or securities convertible into equity. All of which could dilute the current stock ownership in AeroGrow. If we cannot obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, we may not have sufficient capital to operate our business as planned and would have to modify our business plan or curtail some or all of our operations.
 
Our intellectual property and proprietary rights are only filed in the United States and give us only limited protection and can be expensive to defend.
 
Our ability to produce and sell kitchen garden systems exclusively depends in part on securing patent protection for the components of our systems, maintaining various trademarks, and protecting our operational trade secrets. To protect our proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of patents pending (and if granted, patents), trade secrets, and non-disclosure agreements, each of which affords only limited protection. We own the rights to 19 United States patent applications. However, these patent applications may not result in issued patents and even issued patents may be challenged. We are selling our kitchen garden systems prior to receiving issued patents relating to our patent applications. All of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Claims for infringement may be asserted or prosecuted against us in the future and e may not be able to protect our patents, if any are obtained, and intellectual property rights against others. Our former employees or consultants may violate their non-disclosure agreements, leading to a loss of proprietary intellectual property. We also could incur substantial costs to assert our intellectual property or proprietary rights against others.


Our current or future manufacturers could fail to fulfill our orders for kitchen garden systems, which would disrupt our business, increase our costs, and could potentially cause us to lose our market.
 
We currently depend on two contract manufacturers in China to produce our kitchen garden systems. These manufacturers could fail to produce the kitchen garden system to our specifications or in a workmanlike manner and may not deliver the systems on a timely basis. Our manufacturers must also obtain inventories of the necessary parts and tools for production. We own the tools and dies used by our manufacturers. Our manufacturers operate in China and may be subject to business risks that fall outside our control, including but not limited to, political, currency and regulatory risks, each of which may affect the manufacturer’s ability to fulfill our orders for kitchen garden systems. Any change in manufacturers could disrupt our ability to fulfill orders for kitchen garden systems. Any change in manufacturers could disrupt our business due to delays in finding a new manufacturer, providing specifications and testing initial production.
 
If we are unable to assimilate our new managers and recruit and retain key personnel necessary to operate our business, our ability to successfully manage our business and develop and market our products may be harmed.
 
           Several of our executive officers have recently joined us and therefore have limited experience in managing our company. In addition, to expand our business we will also need to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled design, development, management, accounting, sales, merchandising, marketing and customer service personnel. We plan to hire additional personnel in all areas of our business. Competition for many of these types of personnel is intense. As a result, we may be unable to successfully attract or retain qualified personnel. Additionally, any of our officers or employees can terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of any key employee or our inability to attract or retain other qualified employees could harm our business and results of operations.

We rely on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing, warehouse, distribution, order processing, and fulfillment operations. If these parties are unwilling to continue providing services to us, or are unable to adequately perform such services for us on a cost effective basis, our business could be materially harmed.
 
 We engage third parties to perform many critical functions. For example, we have outsourced our manufacturing, warehouse, distribution, order processing, and fulfillment operations. Any disruption in our relationship with any of our vendors could cause significant disruption in our business and we may not be able to locate another party that can provide comparable services in a timely manner or on acceptable commercial terms. In addition, no assurance can be made that these relationships will be adequate to support our business as we follow our business plan.
 
 
RISKS RELATED TO THE RELEVANT MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCT
 
Our future depends on the financial success of our kitchen garden systems. Since we are introducing entirely new products without comparable sales history, we do not know if our kitchen garden systems and seed kits will generate wide acceptance by consumers.
 
We have introduced our kitchen garden systems and seed kits as new products to consumer markets unfamiliar with their use and benefits. In addition, we currently have, and only contemplate having, one product line, indoor garden systems. We cannot be certain that our products will generate widespread acceptance. If consumers do not purchase our products in sufficient numbers, we will not be profitable and you may lose all of your investment. Investors must consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges of attempting to introduce new products with unknown consumer acceptance.
 
Our marketing strategies may not be successful, which would adversely affect our future revenues and profitability.
 
Our revenues and future depend on the successful marketing of our kitchen garden systems. We cannot give assurance that consumers will continue to be interested in purchasing our products. We plan to use direct marketing to sell our products via television commercials, infomercials, magazine and newspaper advertising, and the Internet. Our infomercials and commercials may not generate sufficient income to continue to air them. If our marketing strategies fail to attract customers, our product sales will not produce future revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses or fund our future operations. If this occurs, our business may fail and investors may lose their entire investment.
 
We may face significant competition, and if we are unable to compete effectively, our sales may be adversely affected.
 
           We believe that our simplified and complete kitchen garden systems and planned methods of distribution offer significant benefits as compared to the traditional hydroponic industry practices. We recognize, however, that there are companies that are better funded and have greater experience in producing hydroponic products in commercial markets, including, but not limited to, companies such as General Hydroponics and American Hydroponics. These companies could potentially decide to focus on the consumer market with competing products. We could also face competition from gardening wholesalers and large and profitable soil-based gardening companies, including, but not limited to, the Burpee Seed Company and Gardener’s Supply Company, should they decide to produce a competitive product. In addition, other consumer products companies could develop products to compete with us. These companies may use hydroponic technologies, and may have better consumer acceptance. Such companies may be better funded than us. If any such competing products are successful, their success may adversely impact us.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR CAPITALIZATION
 
If an exemption from registration on that we have relied for any of our past offerings of common stock or warrants are later challenged legally, our principals may have to spend time defending claims, and we would then risk paying expenses for defense, rescission and/or regulatory sanctions.

To raise working capital, we offered common stock and warrants in private transactions that we believed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, as amended, and state securities laws. In 2004 we also conducted a state registered offering in Colorado of common stock and warrants intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, as amended, as an intrastate offering. However, because we are incorporated in Nevada, the offering did not satisfy all of the requirements for an intrastate offering. This could result in investors or regulators asserting that the Colorado offering and/or the private transactions (if the private transactions were integrated with the Colorado offering) violated the Securities Act. There can be no assurance that investors or regulators will not be successful in asserting a claim that these transactions should not be integrated. In the event that one or more investors seeks rescission, with resulting return of investment funds and interest at a market rate, or that state or federal regulators seeks sanctions against us or our principals, we would spend time and financial resources to pay expenses for defense, rescission awards or regulatory sanctions. The use of funds would reduce the capital available to implement our full plan of operation. No assurance can be given regarding the outcome of any such actions.
 
 
There may be substantial sales of our common stock by existing stockholders which could cause the price of our stock to fall.
 
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, if one develops, or the perception that such sales might occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and could impair the value of your investment in our common stock and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. As of March 31, 2007, we had 11,065,609 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 4,917,540 shares may be sold without restriction. See the following risk factor for discussion of additional shares that are subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding warrants, options and convertible debt. Of the remaining shares, (i) 580,136 shares issued to stockholders of Wentworth in the Merger  have registration rights, but of these shares, 396,813 shares are subject to lockup restrictions for periods of 12 to 18 months from the effective date of our registration statement declared effective on December 22, 2006 (the "2006 Registration Statement") and the holders of such shares have waived their right to be included in that registration statement in exchange for our obligation to register all such shares as soon as commercially reasonable after the filing of the next quarterly or annual report or after the declaration of effectiveness of the this registration statement, (ii) 332,876 shares were issued under registration rights agreements, (iii) 5,578,740 shares issued prior to December 31, 2005 that have been held more than one year and may be transferred and sold, subject to the restrictions under Rule 144 or Rule 701, depending on the status of the holder and the holding period as well as lockup agreements, (iv) 148,931 shares granted to employees and directors since December 31, 2005 under our 2005 Equity Compensation Plan. Of the shares identified in the last two categories above, 4,642,326 shares are subject to lockup agreements for periods of 12 to 18 months from the effective date of the 2006 Registration Statement. Also, 333,360 shares and 333,360 shares underlying warrants were issued in March 2007 have yet to be registered. The lockup restrictions may be released by an agreement between us and Keating Securities, LLC (“Keating Securities”). The shares of our common stock underlying the convertible notes and the warrants issued or to be issued to the holders of convertible notes are required to be registered for resale by us and are not subject to lockup restrictions. The sales of our common stock by these stockholders having registration rights or even the appearance that such holders may make such sales once a registration statement becomes effective may limit the market for the common stock or depress any trading market volume and price before other investors are able to sell the common stock. Moreover, a number of shareholders have held their investment for a substantial period of time and may desire to sell their shares, which could drive down the price of our common stock.
 
Our outstanding warrants, options and convertible notes, and additional future obligations to issue our securities to various parties, may dilute the value of your investment and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.
 
 As of March 31, 2007, we are committed to issue up to 7,066,454 additional shares of common stock under the terms of outstanding convertible notes, warrants, options and other arrangements. There are warrants and options outstanding issued prior to June 30, 2005 that can be exercised for 818,858 shares of its common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.005 to $15.00 per share. There are 2,143,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the outstanding warrants issued to investors in our February 2006 private placement offering (the "2006 Offering") exercisable at $6.25 per share. There are 1,166,760 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the outstanding warrants issued to investors in our March 2007 private placement offering (the "2007 Offering") exercisable at $7.50 per share.  There are 600,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants held by the initial holders of the convertible notes with an exercise price of $5.00 per share. There are 594,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, that were issued to holders that elected to convert notes in the principal amount of $2,970,000. There are 60,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants issued in 2005 to Keating Securities or its designees in connection with the convertible notes offering with exercise price of $6.00 per share and 214,800 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants issued to designees of Keating Securities in the 2006 Offering with an exercise price of $6.25 and 116,676 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants issued to designees of Keating Securities in the 2007 Offering with an exercise price of $8.25. As of March 31, 2007, we had granted 1,337,360 options to purchase its common stock pursuant to our 2005 Equity Compensation Plan.
 
We have historically issued shares of its common stock or granted stock options to employees, consultants and vendors as a means to conserve cash, and we may continue to grant additional shares of stock and issue stock options in the future. As of March 31, 2007, 33,386 shares of common stock remain available for issuance under our 2005 Equity Compensation Plan.
 
For the length of time these notes, warrants, and options are outstanding, the holders will have an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock without assuming the risks of ownership. This may adversely affect the terms upon which we can obtain additional capital. The holders of such derivative securities would likely exercise or convert them at a time when we would be able to obtain equity capital on terms more favorable than the exercise or conversion prices provided by the notes, warrants or options.

The market price of the shares may fluctuate greatly. Investors in AeroGrow bear the risk that they will not recover their investment.
 
Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ on June 13, 2007. From January 8, 2007 through June 12, 2007, our common stock traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) using the trading symbol AGWI.OB. Our trading symbol is AERO. No assurance can be made that an active market will develop on the NASDAQ.  Currently, trading in our common stock on NASDAQ is limited, and the per share price is likely to be influenced by the price at which and the amount of shares the selling stockholders are attempting to sell at any time with the possible effect of limiting the trading price or lowering the price to their offering price. Shares such as ours are also subject to the activities of persons engaged in short selling securities, which generally has the effect of driving the price down. Also, the common stock of emerging growth companies is typically subject to high price and volume volatility. Therefore, the price of our common stock may fluctuate widely. A full and stable trading market for our common stock may never develop in which event any holder of such shares may not be able to sell at the time he elects or at all.

Our financial statements appear in a separate section at the end of this Annual Report. Such information is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
On February 24, 2006, we dismissed Hein & Associates LLP (“Hein”) as our independent certified public accountants, the former accountants for Wentworth, the company which merged with and into AeroGrow. The decision was approved by our Board of Directors. We are the “successor issuer” to Wentworth I, Inc. within the meaning of Rule 12(g)-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and became a Section 12(g) reporting company under the Exchange Act.

The reports of Hein on Wentworth’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except the report did contain an explanatory paragraph related to Wentworth’s ability to continue as a going concern.  During Wentworth’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, there were no disagreements with Hein on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hein would have caused Hein to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements for such years. Wentworth requested that Hein furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") stating whether or not it agrees with Wentworth’s statements in this Item 4.01(a). A copy of the letter furnished by Hein in response to that request, dated February 27, 2006 which was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K reporting the change.

Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP (“GHB”) have audited our financial statements annually since inception through March 31, 2007. At a shareholder’s meeting held on February 21, 2006, our shareholder’s ratified the appointment of GHB as auditors for fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the period from January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007 there were no disagreements with GHB on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GHB, would have caused GHB to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the our financial statements. In addition, none of the events described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K occurred during such periods.
 
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to AeroGrow International Inc., and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.
 
 (b) Changes in Internal Controls
 
We have not made any significant changes to our internal controls subsequent to the evaluation date. We have not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses or other factors that could significantly affect these controls, and therefore, no corrective action was taken.

Board Committees and Meetings
 
We have established two standing committees so that some matters can be addressed in more depth than may be possible in a full board meeting: an audit committee and a governance, compensation and nominating committee. These two committees each operate under a written charter. The board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Channer, who was elected by the board and appointed Chairman of these two committees on April 16, 2007, is independent as defined by applicable securities law and NASDAQ corporate governance guidelines. Following is a description of both of these committees.

Audit Committee. The current members of our audit committee are Mr. Channer (chairman), Mr. Jack Walker and Mr. Kenneth Leung. Mr. Channer is considered a financial expert and Messrs Walker and Leung are considered financially literate under the rules of the SEC for audit committee members. The board has affirmatively determined that each of these persons is an independent director as defined by applicable securities law and NASDAQ corporate governance guidelines. As we add additional independent members to our board of directors as required by applicable securities laws or exchange listing guidelines, such independent directors may be appointed to our audit committee or the membership of the committee may be changed. This committee’s charter provides that the committee shall:
 
 
·
oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of the financial statements,
 
 
·
assist the board with oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, its independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and the performance of the independent auditors, and
 
 
·
provide the board with the results of its monitoring.
 
 
Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee. The current members of the governance, compensation and nominating committee are Mr. Channer (chairman) and Mr. Jack Walker and Mr. Kenneth Leung. Each of these persons is an independent director. This committee’s charter provides that the committee shall:
 
 
·
recommend to the board the corporate governance guidelines to be followed,
 
 
·
review and recommend the nomination of board members,
 
 
·
set the compensation for the chief executive officer and other officers, and
 
 
·
administer the equity performance plans of AeroGrow.
 
Meetings. During fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 the board of directors met eight times. Each director attended all of the meetings held by the board during the period that he served as a director of AeroGrow.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our the Company’s common stock, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or 5 with the SEC.  Such executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. 
 
To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from the reporting persons,  Section 16(a) forms for our officers and directors were not timely filed for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as follows:

Any amendment to or waiver of the Code of Ethics will be disclosed promptly following the date of such amendment or waiver in a Current Report on Form 8-K filing with the SEC.
 
 
ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Executive Compensation
 
Executives and Employment Arrangements

ITEM 11.   SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
 
The following table sets forth certain information regarding our common stock beneficially owned on March 31, 2007 by:
 
· each shareholder we know to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock,

· each of our executive officers for whom disclosure is provided in Item 10, “Executive Compensation,” and each of our directors, and

In general, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. To the best of our knowledge, subject to community and marital property laws, all persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares except as otherwise noted. The table assumes a total of 11,065,609 shares of common stock outstanding.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
 
Amended 2003 Stock Option Plan. On January 3, 2003, our board of directors adopted a stock option plan for key employees (including key employees who are directors), non-employee directors, consultants and investors which provided that an aggregate of 400,000 shares of our common stock may be granted under the plan (the “2003 Plan”).  As of December 31, 2005, there were options for 204,869 shares outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $5.00. The remaining 195,131 options were merged into the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan and the 2003 Plan no longer separately exists. Vesting schedules are determined individually for each grant and were all fully vested as of December 2005.
 
Administration. The plan is administered by our Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee, and in the past was administered by the board. The plan provides that it may be administered by either the committee or board, and in its administration it may:
 
 
·  select participants,
 
 
·  determine the date of grant, exercise price and other terms of options,
 
 
·  establish rules and regulations to administer the plan, 

 
·  amend, suspend, or discontinue the plan subject to applicable shareholder approval,
 
 
·  interpret the rules relating to the plan, and
 
 
·  otherwise administer the plan.

Stock Options. The plan provides that the committee may grant both incentive stock options, which can result in potentially favorable tax treatment to the participant, and non-qualified stock options. The committee determines the terms and vesting provisions, including the exercise price. The maximum term of each option and the times at which each option will be exercisable generally are fixed by the committee, except that no option may have a term exceeding ten years. Shares subject to options that expire or otherwise terminate remain available for awards under the plan. Shares issued under the plan may be either newly issued shares or shares which we have reacquired.
 
2005 Equity Compensation Plan. In August 2005 we adopted the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (“2005 Plan”) to promote our interests and the interests of our shareholders by attracting, retaining, and motivating our key officers, employees, directors, and consultants. The Plan was approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held February 23, 2006. Our 2003 stock option plan was merged into this plan in August 2005, which modification was approved by the stockholders in February 23, 2006; the 2003 Plan no longer separately exists. The options for the 204,869 shares issued under the 2003 Plan continue to be governed by their grant agreements but are administered under the 2005 Plan. A total of 1,505,000 shares of our common stock were originally available for grant under the 2005 Plan pursuant to stock options or awards of shares of restricted stock. As of March 31, 2007, we have issued 1,343,554 options to purchase common stock at exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $5.90 and 339,123 shares of common stock at valued at prices ranging from $5.00 to $5.90 and there remain 33,386 unallocated shares that may be the subject of awards in the future.
 
 
Shares Available for Awards. Shares subject to an award that is cancelled, expired unexercised, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise terminated remain available for awards under the plan. Shares issued under the 2005 Plan may be either newly issued shares or shares which we have reacquired. The plan imposes individual limitations on the amount of certain awards in order to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Under these limitations no single participant may generally receive awards in any calendar year that relate to more than $1 million. Awards may generally be adjusted to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits when certain events occur such as a stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, combination, merger, or consolidation.
 
Eligibility. Our employees, directors and consultants may be granted awards under the plan.  As of March 31, 2007, approximately 65 individuals were eligible to participate.
 
Administration. The plan is administered by the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee. Awards to directors serving on the committee are determined and administered by the full board of directors. The committee may:
 
 
·
select participants,
 
 
·
determine the type and number of awards to be granted,
 
 
·
determine the exercise or purchase price, vesting periods and any performance goals,
 
 
·
determine and later amend the terms and conditions of any award,
 
 
·
interpret the rules relating to the plan, and
 
 
·
otherwise administer the plan.
 
 
Stock Options. The committee may grant both incentive stock options, which can result in potentially favorable tax treatment to the participant, and non-qualified stock options. The committee determines the terms and individual vesting schedules for each grant including the exercise price, which may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of the grant.
 
Restricted Shares. The committee may grant restricted shares of common stock. Restricted shares are shares of common stock with transfer restrictions. These restrictions lapse on the basis of performance and/or continued employment as determined in advance by the committee. They may be forfeited by participants as specified by the committee in the award agreement. A participant who has received a grant of restricted shares will be eligible to receive dividends and have the right to vote those shares. Restricted shares may not be transferred, encumbered or disposed of during the restricted period or until after the restrictive conditions are met.
 
 
Other Terms. All outstanding awards vest, become immediately exercisable or payable, and have all restrictions lifted immediately when we experience a change in control. The Board may amend or terminate the plan subject to applicable stockholder approval. The committee may not amend the terms of previously granted options to reduce the exercise price or cancel options and grant substitute options with a lower exercise price than the cancelled options. The committee also may not adversely affect the rights of any award holder without the award holder’s consent.
 
In addition to option grants, during the year ended March 31, 2007, we granted under the 2005 Plan a total of 98,194 shares of common stock at a value of $5.00 to $5.90 per share consisting of 5,000 shares issued to our Chief Financial Officer, 5,000 shares issued to our Vice President of Engineering and Manufacturing, 18,044 shares issued to other employees, 49,150 shares granted to consultants for services, 21,000 shares granted to directors for service on the Board of Directors, Audit Committee and on the Governance Committee. All of the foregoing are included in operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2007 resulting in a total charge of $516,170.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
The following transactions were entered into with our executive officers, directors and 5% or greater shareholders. These transactions may or will continue in effect and may result in conflicts of interest between us and these individuals. Although our executive officers and directors have fiduciary duties to us and our shareholders, we cannot assure that these conflicts of interest will always be resolved in our favor or in the favor of our shareholders.
 
Richard Kranitz, one of our directors, is a member of the law firm of Kranitz and Philipp, which provides legal services to us. During the years ended December 31, 2005, we paid legal fees to Kranitz and Philipp in the amount of $37,438 and issued shares of common stock for services provided valued at $10,000. During the year ended March 31, 2007 and the three-month transition period ended March 31, 2006, we paid $24,000 and $44,472, respectively, to this same firm for legal services.

 During the year ended March 31, 2007, we incurred fees totaling $640,186 for various video and web projects, including production of our infomercial to promote our products, to MedEd Architects LLC a video production company owned 33% by Mr. Seffren. We may incur additional costs in subsequent calendar quarters to MedEd Architects LLC, for editing and production of additional infomercials featuring our products and related video-based products. During the three month transition period ended March 31, 2006, we incurred $131,894 in expenses to MedEd Architects, LLC for video production, printing, duplication, and web design.

  Director Independence
 
Our Board of Directors comprises W. Michael Bissonnette, Richard A. Kranitz, Dennis Channer, Jack J. Walker, and Kenneth Leung.  Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Channer, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Leung are “independent” as that term is defined by NASDAQ.  Under the NASDAQ definition, an independent director is a person who is not an executive officer or employee of the Company and who does not have a relationship with the Company that, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Policy on Accounting Matters; Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in monitoring (i) the integrity of our financial statements and disclosures, including oversight of the accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements, (ii) the compliance by us with our legal, ethical and regulatory requirements and (iii) the independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include, among others, audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full Board regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.

The Audit Committee has considered the provision of non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm to be compatible with maintaining their independence. The Audit Committee will continue to approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services and related services, tax services, and other services.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
 
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors
AeroGrow International, Inc.
Boulder, CO

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of AeroGrow International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2007, the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included  consideration of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as a basis  for  designing  audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the  effectiveness  of the Company's  internal  control over  financial  reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AeroGrow International, Inc. as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2007, the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Description of the Business

AeroGrow International, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 25, 2002.  The Company’s principal business is developing and marketing advanced indoor aeroponic garden systems designed and priced to appeal to the gardening, cooking and small kitchen appliance markets worldwide. The Company’s principal activities since our formation through March 2006 had consisted of the development of the Company’s products business planning and raising the capital necessary to fund these activities. In December 2005, the Company commenced pilot production of our AeroGarden™ system and, in March 2006, began shipping these systems to retail and catalogue customers. Prior to March 2006 when the Company commenced sales of our aeroponic garden systems, the Company was considered a Development Stage Enterprise in accordance FAS No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. Effective March 2006, the Company ceased being considered a development stage enterprise. The Company is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado.

On January 12, 2006, the Company and Wentworth I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wentworth”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) which was consummated on February 24, 2006.  Under the Merger Agreement, Wentworth merged with and into the Company, and the Company was the surviving corporation (“Merger”). The Merger, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, has been accounted as an acquisition of Wentworth by the Company.  As such, the Company was the accounting acquirer in the Merger, and the historical financial statements of the Company will be the financial statements for the Company following the Merger.

Significant Accounting Policies

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

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock
The Company computes net income (loss) per share of common stock in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”).  SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common stock shareholders divided by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common stock (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented. Potential shares of common stock that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
 
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash
 The Company has secured activity related to its corporate credit card purchase account with a restricted money market account. The balance in this account as of March 31, 2007 was $84,363.

 
Concentration of Credit Risk and Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 105, "Disclosure of Information About Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk," requires disclosure of significant concentrations of credit risk regardless of the degree of such risk.  Financial instruments with significant credit risk include cash.  The amount on deposit with a financial institution exceeded the $100,000 federally insured limit as of March 31, 2007, March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.  However, management believes that the financial institution is financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of all financial instruments approximate their fair value.

Customers:
For the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company had two customers who represented 15% and 10% of the Company’s net product sales, respectively.  At March 31, 2007, the foregoing customers accounted for 13% and 2% of the total outstanding accounts receivable, respectively.  In addition, at March 31, 2007, the Company had three additional customers accounting for 15%, 11% and 11%, respectively, of total accounts receivable outstanding.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, one customer represented 93% of the Company’s net product sales.  At March 31, 2006, this customer represented 76% of the total accounts outstanding receivable.

Suppliers:
As of March 31, 2007, the Company had two suppliers each of which accounted for in excess of 10% of total accounts payable consisting of $942,758 and $383,976, or 29.4% and 12.0% respectively, of total outstanding accounts payable. At March 31, 2006, one supplier represented $66,151 or 13.57% of total accounts payable.  In addition, one service provider represented $53,739 or 11.02% of total accounts payable.  For the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company purchased inventories and other inventory related items from these suppliers totaling $2,307,826 and $4,686,403, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company purchased inventory and other inventory related items from one supplier totaling $160,523.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation for financial accounting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the respective assets.  Office equipment and computer hardware are depreciated over five years.  Tooling is depreciated over three years. Leasehold improvements are being amortized over the life of the lease which is five years.

Intangible assets and goodwill
Intangible assets, to date, have consisted of the direct costs incurred for application fees and legal expenses associated with patents and trademarks on the Company's products.  The Company periodically reviews the recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows.  To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss will be evaluated for possible recording.  The Company amortizes its patent and trademarks costs on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of 5 years.

Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method, or market. Included in inventory costs where the Company is the manufacturer are raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. The Company records the raw materials at delivered cost. Standard labor and manufacturing overhead costs are applied to the finished goods based on normal production capacity as prescribed under ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing.”  A majority of the Company’s products are manufactured overseas and are recorded at cost.

The Company will determine inventory obsolescence reserve based on management’s historical experience and establishes reserves against inventory according to the age of the product. As of March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the Company had determined that no inventory obsolescence reserve was required.
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company sells its products to retailers and consumers. Consumer transactions are paid primarily by credit card. Retailer sales terms vary by customer, however, and generally are net 30 days. Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value and net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company's estimate is based on a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable which totaled $80,695 and $14,627 at March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Other receivable
In conjunction with the Company’s processing of credit card transactions and for its direct to consumer sales activities and as security with respect to the Company’s performance for required credit card refunds and chargebacks, the Company is required to maintain a cash reserve with Litle and Company, the Company’s credit card processor. This reserve is equal to 5% of the credit card sales processed over the previous six months of activity. As of March 31, 2007, the balance in this reserve account was $182,221.
 
 
Advertising and Production Costs
The Company expenses all production costs related to advertising as incurred. These costs include actual advertising such as print, television, and radio advertisements which are expensed when the advertisement has been broadcast or otherwise distributed.  Advertising expense for the year ended March 31, 2007, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $2,125,112, $30,000, and $0, respectively.

Research and Development
Research, development, and engineering costs are expensed as incurred, in accordance with SFAS No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.”  Research, development, and engineering expenses primarily include payroll and headcount related costs, contractor fees, infrastructure costs, and administrative expenses directly related to research and development support.


Stock Based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” Subsequently, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) provided for a phase-in implementation process for SFAS No. 123R, which required adoption of the new accounting standard no later than January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires accounting for stock options using a fair-value-based method as described in such statement and recognize the resulting compensation expense in the Company’s financial statements. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method under APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations, which generally results in no employee stock option expense. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006 and does not plan to restate financial statements for prior periods. The Company plans to continue to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model in estimating the fair value of the stock option awards issued under SFAS No. 123R. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material impact on our results of operations. For the year ended March 31, 2007 and the three month transition period ended March 31, 2006, equity compensation in the form of stock options and grants of restricted stock totaled $1,077,029 and $3,734,525, respectively, and is included in the accompanying Statements of Operations in the following categories:

Income taxes
The Company accounts for deferred income taxes in accordance with the liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at the end of each period, based on enacted laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Any liability for actual taxes to taxing authorities is recorded as income tax liability. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against such assets where management is unable to conclude more likely than not that such asset will be realized. For the year ended March 31, 2007 and the three month transition period ended March 31, 2006, and for the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company recognized a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax asset balance.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales, net of estimated returns, when persuasive evidence of a sale exists: that is, a product is shipped under an agreement with a customer; risk of loss and title has passed to the customer; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Accordingly, the Company did not record $451,898 of revenue as of March 31, 2007 related to the unpaid balance due for orders shipped in conjunction with the Company’s direct sales to consumers because the consumer has thirty-six days to evaluate the product, paying only the shipping and handling costs for such products before making the required installment payments after the expiration of the thirty-six day trial period. The Company also, as of March 31, 2007, did not record $135,459 of product costs associated with the foregoing revenue in as much as the customer is required to return the product and the Company is therefore able to recover these costs through resale of the goods. The liability for sales returns is estimated based upon historical experience of return levels.

The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer and distributor programs and incentive offerings, including promotions and other volume-based incentives. Future market conditions and product transitions may require the Company to take actions to increase customer incentive offerings, possibly resulting in an incremental reduction of revenue at the time the incentive is offered. Additionally, certain incentive programs require the Company to estimate based on industry experience the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive. At March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the Company had accrued $65,385 and $0, respectively, as its estimate for the foregoing deductions and allowances.

 
Warranty and Return Reserves
The Company records warranty liabilities at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its basic warranty program. The specific warranty terms and conditions vary depending upon the product sold but generally include technical support, repair parts and labor for periods up to one year. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of installed units currently under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims on those units, and cost per claim to satisfy the Company’s warranty obligation.   Both manufacturers of the Company’s products provide replacement parts for any defective components free of charge up to 2% of the total units purchased.  Based upon the foregoing, the Company has recorded as of March 31, 2007 a provision for potential future warranty costs of $15,393. There was no provision required as of March 31, 2006.

The Company reserves for potential returns from customers and associated refunds or credits related to such returns based upon historical experience. As of March 31, 2007, the Company has recorded a reserve for customer returns of $238,569. There was no provision required as of March 31, 2006.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are recorded in cost of revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with freight out to customers are also included in cost of revenue. Shipping and handling charges to customers are included in sales.

Deferred Rent
In July 2006, the Company entered into a facility lease with a term through January 2012, for its corporate offices in Boulder, Colorado.  At March 31, 2007, the Company had recorded deferred rent related to this agreement in the amount of $53,531, based on the difference between rent expense recorded and the rent payment obligation.
 
Registration Rights Penalties
The holders of securities issued in the Company’s 2006 Offering and 2005 Offering (see Note 4) had registration rights for the common stock and for the common stock underlying the convertible debt and the warrants held by them. Liquidated damages for failure to register and maintain registration for such common stock were payable in common stock of the Company under certain circumstances and were limited to 1% of the amount of the outstanding convertible debt per 30-day period up to a maximum of 24% and 1% of the amount of the investment in the 2006 Offering up to a maximum of 18%. In each case, the amount was payable in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at a rate of $2.00 per share.  The Company elected to recognize the impact of such registration rights penalties as incurred, which commenced after July 23, 2006 (see Note 4 and Note 6). The Company completed the registration of the foregoing securities on December 22, 2006 and recognized five months of penalty, resulting in the recording of 332,876 shares of common stock to be issued at a value of $5.00 for a total of $1,664,380.  On December 21, 2006, the FASB Financial Statement Publication (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2 that addresses the accrual and accounting for registration rights penalties and became effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and immediately for all new arrangements entered into after this date.  The Company adopted this FSP immediately for fiscal 2007.  The Company does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on its current policy.

On March 12 and March 15, 2007, the Company completed a private offering of 833,400 units of its common stock and warrants to purchase common stock and on March 29, 2007, the Company completed a private offering of 333,360 units of its common stock and warrants to purchase common stock (“2007 Offerings”). Each unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.001, and one five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The units were sold at a per unit price of $6.00. The Company raised an aggregate of $7,000,000 from the 2007 Offerings, less a placement agent fee in the amount of $700,000 and approximately $100,000 in other expenses related to the 2007 Offerings. The holders of securities issued in the Company’s 2007 Offerings had registration rights for the common stock and for the common stock underlying the warrants held by them. Liquidated damages for failure to register and maintain registration for such common stock were payable in cash under certain circumstances and were limited to 1% of the amount of the investment per 30-day period made up to a maximum of 10%. The Company completed the registration of $5.0 million of the 2007 Offerings on May 11, 2007 and intends to file a registration statement for the remaining $2.0 million of the 2007 Offerings within the required time for filing such registration statement.

Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131") replaces the industry segment approach under previously issued pronouncements with the management approach.  The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for allocating resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments.  SFAS 131 also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  At present, the Company only operates in one segment.

 
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs consist of consideration paid to third parties with respect to a $3.0 million debt financing in July 2005, including cash payments for legal fees and placement agent fees. Such costs are being deferred and were to be amortized over the term of the related debt, which was one year.  On February 24, 2006, $2,130,000 of the debt associated with these costs converted to 710,009 shares of the common stock (See Note 4, Convertible Debentures).  The pro rata costs associated with the $2,130,000 which converted to common stock was expensed as interest as of the date converted. The amortization of the remaining debt issuance costs will be amortized over the remaining life of the debt.

Beneficial Conversion Feature of Debentures
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios,” and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” the Company recognized the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights gives the debt holder the ability to convert debt into shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than the fair market value of the common stock on the day the loan is made to the Company. The beneficial value was calculated as the intrinsic value (the fair market value of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of the debentures and the related accrued interest and was recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount was subsequently amortized to interest expense over the remaining outstanding period of the related debt using the interest method.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FIN 48 may have on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”  SAB 108 requires that public companies utilize a “dual-approach” to assessing the quantitative effects of financial misstatements. This dual approach includes both an income statement focused assessment and a balance sheet focused assessment. The guidance in SAB 108 must be applied to annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.159,” The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement 157.” We will adopt SFAS 159 in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2008. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 
Note 2 – Merger and 2006 Private Placement
 
The Company entered into a Letter of Intent on January 4, 2006, and a Merger Agreement on January 12, 2006, with Wentworth I, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Wentworth was a non-operating entity without significant assets. On January 12, 2006, Wentworth’s Board of Directors and its shareholders approved the Merger Agreement and the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Merger Agreement. Under the Merger Agreement, Wentworth merged with and into the Company, and the Company was the surviving corporation (“Merger”). The Merger, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, has been accounted as an acquisition of Wentworth by the Company.

As a condition of the closing of the Merger Agreement, the Company was required to complete a private placement offering of its common stock shares and common stock warrants with gross proceeds of not less that $5 million (the “Offering”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid a financial advisory fee of $350,000 to Keating Securities, Wentworth’s financial advisor in the transaction.

The closing of the Merger Agreement occurred on February 24, 2006 and closings of the Offering occurred on February 24, 2006 and March 1, 2006. The Company received gross proceeds of $10,740,000 in the Offering. Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with these Investors, the Company sold 2,148,000 units (“Unit(s)”) in the Offering; each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.25 per share. The price per Unit in the Offering was $5.00. After commissions, expenses and the reverse merger fee payable to Keating Securities, the Company received net proceeds of $8,964,952 in the Offering. This offering required registration of the common stock issued and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. Liquidated damages are payable to investors under the following circumstances: (a) if a registration statement is not filed by the Company on or prior to 45 days after the closing date (such an event, a “Filing Default”); (b) if the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the 150th day after the Closing Date (such an event, an “Effectiveness Default”); and/or (c) if the Registration Statement (after its effectiveness date) ceases to be effective and available to investors for any continuous period that exceeds 30 days or for one or more periods that exceeds in the aggregate 60 days in any 12-month period (such an event, a “Suspension Default” and together with a Filing Default and an Effectiveness Default, a “Registration Default”). In the event of a Registration Default, the Company shall pay as Liquidated Damages, for each 30-day period of a Registration Default, an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the investors  up to a maximum of 18% of the aggregate purchase price paid, provided that liquidation damages in respect of a Suspension Default shall not be payable in relation to any securities not owned by the investors at the time of the Suspension Default and, provided further, that no liquidated damages are due in respect of the warrants. In the event of a Filing Default or an Effectiveness Default, the Liquidated Damages shall be paid by the issuance of additional common stock at the rate of the amount of the liquidated damages due divided by $2.00. In the event of a Suspension Default, the liquidated damages shall be paid in cash. The Company filed the required Registration Statement within the 45 days pursuant to (a) above and completed the registration of the foregoing securities on December 22, 2006. Accordingly, the Company recognized five months of penalty, resulting in the recording of 332,876 shares of common stock to be issued at a value of $5.00 for a total of $1,664,380, inclusive of 74,250 penalty shares issued to investors in the Company’s Convertible Debt Offering (See Note 4).

In the Merger each of the Wentworth’s 3,750,000 shares of outstanding common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.154703 shares of the Company common stock resulting in the issuance of 580,136 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Wentworth stockholders representing 6.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company immediately after the Merger, the Offering and the Note Conversion. Immediately after the closing of the Offering, the investors owned 2,148,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 23.7% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the Merger, the Offering and the Note Conversion.

Note 3 – Due to Factor

On February 9, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Benefactor Group Inc. (“Benefactor”) whereby Benefactor agreed to factor the company’s retail accounts receivable invoices. The term of the agreement is for one year but can be terminated by the Company with 60 days written notice. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, Benefactor will purchase the invoices that it approves for an initial payment of 85% of the amount of the invoice with the remaining 15% paid upon collection less any deductions from the customer. Benefactor charges a commission of 1 ¼% of the gross amount of the invoice and a maintenance fee equal to an annual rate of prime plus 3%, prime being determined by Benefactor based upon either the prime rate published by Benefactor’s bank or the Wall Street Journal, (11.25% at March 31, 2007) charged on a daily basis for the unpaid invoice amounts outstanding. The Company has agreed, beginning May 2007, to factor with Benefactor a minimum of $800,000 of invoices monthly. The Company is responsible for any invoices which are unpaid after 91 days or are subject to other defaults by the customer and this obligation is secured by the Company with a security interest granted to Benefactor on all assets. As of March 31, 2007, Benefactor had advanced the Company $645,151 against invoices totaling $764,338. Fees paid to Benefactor for interest, discounts and other services for the year ended March 31, 2007 totaled $39,556.  The receivables are considered recourse and are shown gross in the balance sheet.

 
Note 4 – Convertible Debentures
 
On May 27, 2005, the Company entered into an exclusive Placement Agreement with Keating Securities, LLC to raise up to $3,000,000, through a private placement offering consisting of up to 300 units at an offering price of $10,000 per unit (the “2005 Offering”). Each unit was comprised of a convertible debenture evidenced by a 10% unsecured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $10,000 (a total of $3,000,000), and 2,000 five-year warrants (a total of 600,000 warrants), each warrant providing for the purchase of one share of the Company's common stock at the exercise price of $5.01 per share. The Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum which was payable quarterly beginning September 30, 2005. The principal was originally due on September 30, 2006. The Company received proceeds of $3,000,000 from this private placement less $419,471 in directly incurred debt issuance costs. In addition to the foregoing, for each share of common stock issuable upon conversion, each note holder received an additional five year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The Company had agreed to registration rights related to both the shares underlying the convertible debt and the related warrants.  In the event the Company failed to fulfill its registration obligations the Company agreed to pay liquidated damages under the following circumstances: (a) if the registration statement was not filed by the Company on or prior to 60 days after the final closing of the 2005 Offering (such an event, a “Filing Default”); (b) if the registration statement was not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to 150 days after the final Closing of the offering (such an event, an “Effectiveness Default”); or (c) if the Company did not file its required periodic reports under the Exchange Act when due (such an event, a “Reporting Default” and together with a Filing Default and an Effectiveness Default, a “SEC Default”). In the event of an SEC Default, the Company shall as liquidated damages pay, for each 30-day period of an SEC Default, an amount equal to 1% of the principal amount of the notes up to a maximum aggregate of 24 months of SEC Defaults. The Company was obligated to pay the Liquidated Damages in shares of common stock, priced at $2.00 per share as follows: (i) in connection with a Filing Default, on the 61st day after the initial closing, and each 30th day thereafter until the registration statement is filed with the SEC; (ii) in connection with an Effectiveness Default, on the 151st day after the initial closing, and each 30th day thereafter until the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; or (iii) in connection with a Reporting Default, on the 31st consecutive day of after a Reporting Default has occurred, provided that if the Reporting Default has been cured, then such days during which a Reporting Default were accruing will be added to any future Reporting Default period for the purposes of calculating the payment of the liquidated damages provided for in this provision. The Company has recorded penalties for an Effectiveness Default with regard to the 2005 Offering through December 22, 2006, the effective date of the registration of the underlying shares, of 74,250 shares of common stock valued at $371,250.
 
In conjunction with the 2005 Offering, the Company recognized at the time of issuance $750,000 of beneficial conversion costs, representing the value of the beneficial conversion rights of the convertible debentures, determined by calculating the difference of the fair market value of the stock at the commitment date, or $5.00 per share, less the conversion exercise price of $4.00 times the number of shares to be issued upon conversion or 750,000 shares. This value is recorded as a discount to the convertible debentures and an addition to additional paid- in capital. This discount was completely amortized as interest expense over the term of the convertible debentures which were originally due, if not converted, by June 30, 2006.
 
Also in conjunction with the 2005 Offering, the Company recognized at the time of issuance $1,059,480 representing the fair value of the five year warrants issued with the convertible debentures. The value of these warrants was determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes pricing model utilizing a historic volatility factor of 129.67%, a risk free interest rate of 5.0% and an expected life for the warrants of five years, resulting in a value of $2.73 per warrant. This value was recorded as an additional discount to the convertible debentures and an addition to additional paid-in capital. This discount was completely amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible debentures which were originally due if not converted by June 30, 2006.
 
Prior to the closings of the Merger and the 2006 Offering but contingent upon their successful completion, in February 2006, the Company entered into agreements with the convertible debt holders of the 2005 Offering whereby certain debt holders converted $2,130,000 of their outstanding debt obligations into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $3.00 per share and certain other debt holders agreed to extend the maturity dates of $840,000 of debt obligations from June 30, 2006 to December 31, 2006. The $2,130,000 of debt that converted immediately resulted in additional beneficial conversion expense of $887,500 to account for the additional fair value attributed to the additional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the change in the conversion price to $3 per share from the original conversion price of $4 per share. The fair value of the foregoing additional shares was based upon a price of $5.00 per share. The converting note holders also were issued, pursuant to the terms of the original note offering, five-year warrants to purchase 426,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. With respect to the $840,000 of convertible debentures that were modified by extension of the due date from June 30, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and modification of the embedded conversion feature from a conversion price of $4.00 per share to a conversion price of $3.50 per share, based on the significant change in the terms of these $840,000 in debentures, the original debt was deemed extinguished and a debt extinguishment loss was recognized. This loss was based on the fair value of the new debt instrument in accordance with EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments and EITF 05-07, Accounting for Modifications to Conversion Options Embedded in Debt Instruments and Related Issues.”  The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $132,578. This loss was determined by calculating the change in net present value of the cash flows from the convertible debt, inclusive of the change in the embedded conversion feature determined by comparing the fair value of the conversion option immediately following such modification with its fair value immediately prior to the modification. This loss was recorded as of February 2006 with a corresponding increase in fair value of the modified convertible debenture balance and is being amortized over the remaining term of these debentures to additional paid in capital. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has accreted $132,578 of the recognized loss on extinguishment of debt to additional paid in capital.  Of the original amount of $3,000,000 in convertible debentures disclosed as outstanding as of December 31, 2005, $2,130,000 converted to common stock in February 2006, $30,000 was repaid in June 2006 and $840,000 converted to common stock in March 2007.
 
 
The holders of securities issued in the private placement offering and the convertible debt offering have registration rights under the common stock and for the common stock underlying the warrants held by them. Liquidated damages for failure to register and maintain registration for the common stock and for the common stock underlying the warrants held by investors are payable under the following circumstances: (a) if a registration statement is not filed by the Company on or prior to 45 days after the closing date (such an event, a “Filing Default”); (b) if the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the 150th day after the Closing Date (such an event, an “Effectiveness Default”); and/or (c) if the Registration Statement (after its effectiveness date) ceases to be effective and available to Investor for any continuous period that exceeds 30 days or for one or more period that exceeds in the aggregate 60 days in any 12-month period (such an event, a “Suspension Default” and together with a Filing Default and an Effectiveness Default, a “Registration Default”). In the event of a Registration Default, the Company shall pay to Investor as Liquidated Damages, for each 30-day period of a Registration Default, an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by Investor pursuant to this Agreement up to a maximum of 18% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the investor, provided that liquidation damages in respect of a Suspension Default shall not be payable in relation to any securities not owned by the investor at the time of the Suspension Default and, provided further, that no liquidated damages are due in respect of the warrants. In the event of a Filing Default or an Effectiveness Default, the Liquidated Damages shall be paid by the issuance of additional common stock at the rate of the amount of the liquidated damages due divided by $2.00. In the event of a Suspension Default, the liquidated damages shall be paid in cash. In summary, the liquidated damages are either settled with common stock in the case of a delay in filing having declared effective a registration statement, or in cash but only related to actual stock issued (excluding common stock underlying warrants) for failure to maintain effectiveness of a registration. The Company filed the required Registration Statement within the 45 days pursuant to (a) above and completed the registration on December 22, 2006. Accordingly, the Company recognized five months of penalty and issued 74,250 penalty shares of common stock in January 2007 to investors in the Company’s Convertible Debt Offering aggregating a total charge to expense of $371,250.
 
The balance presented for the Convertible Debentures, net of discounts, as of March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 is as follows:

Note 5 – Equity Compensation Plans
 
In 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved a Stock Option Plan (the 2003 Plan) pursuant to which nonqualified stock options are reserved for issuance to eligible employees, consultants and directors of the Company.  The 2003 Plan was administered by the Board of Directors, which had the authority to select the individuals to whom awards were to be granted, the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award, the vesting schedule of stock options, and all other terms and conditions of each award.  The Company has granted nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock to certain employees at exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $5.90 per share.  In August 2005, the 2003 Plan was merged into the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan and it no longer separately exists. However, options issued and outstanding under the 2003 Plan continue to be governed by their grant agreements but are administered under the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan.

In August 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the 2005 Plan) pursuant to which both qualified and nonqualified stock options as well as restricted shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to eligible employees, consultants and directors of the Company.  A total of 1,505,000 shares of our common stock may be granted under the 2005 Plan.

The 2005 Plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee which has the authority to select the individuals to whom awards are to be granted, the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award, the vesting schedule of stock options, and all other terms and conditions of each award.  The Company has granted qualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock to certain employees at exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $5.90 per share.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”  Under the recognition principles of APB No. 25, compensation expense related to restricted stock and performance units was recognized in the financial statements. However, APB No. 25 generally did not require the recognition of compensation expense for stock options because the exercise price of these instruments was generally equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, and the related number of shares granted were fixed at that point in time.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.”  In addition to recognizing compensation expense related to restricted stock and performance units, SFAS No. 123(R) also requires recognition of compensation expense related to the estimated fair value of stock options. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation expense recognized subsequent to adoption includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the values estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Consistent with the modified-prospective-transition method, the Company’s results of operations for prior periods have not been adjusted to reflect the adoption of FAS 123(R).
 
 
For the year and three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively, the Company granted 222,131 and 888,153 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at an exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $5.90 per share under the 2005 Plan as follows:

For the option grants issued during the three month transition period ended March 31, 2006 and through December 31, 2006, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions: no dividend yield; expected volatility rate of 129.67%; risk free interest rate of 5%; and average lives of 4 years resulting in a value of $4.12 per option granted. In March 2007, in as much as the Company’s stock had begun trading in the public market but trading history was limited the Company reviewed the assumptions utilized for the volatility rate, researching companies within the consumer products category with comparable market capitalizations, comparable per share prices and with a minimum of five years of trading history, the length of time the options are exercisable. Accordingly, for the options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions: no dividend yield; expected volatility rate of 50.3%; risk free interest rate of 5%; and average lives of 3 years resulting in a value of $2.28 per option granted based upon a market value of $5.90 per share on the date of grant. As a result of recognizing compensation expense for stock options pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the net loss for the year ended March 31, 2007 and the three month transition period ended March 31, 2006, was $560,859 and $3,315,840 greater, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for stock options under APB No. 25. In addition, both basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended March 31, 2007 and for the three month transition period ended March 31, 2006 was $0.06 and $0.37 greater, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for stock options under APB No. 25.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and EPS for the year ended December 31, 2005 if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R:

For purposes of calculating fair value under SFAS 123, the fair value of each option grant for the year ended December 31, 2005 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the followingweighted average assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility rate of 129.67%; risk free interest rate of 5%; and average lives of 5 years.

For the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company incurred additional federal and state operating loss carryforwards of $8,895,243. The loss carry forwards will begin to expire in 2022.  At March 31, 2007, March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the Company has research and development tax credit carryforwards of $362,672, $118,285 and $118,285, respectively, which begin to expire in 2022.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The Company believes that sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets such that valuation allowances equal to the entire balance of the deferred tax assets are necessary.  In accordance with Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, a change in ownership of greater than 50% of a corporation within a three-year period will place an annual limitation on our ability to utilize our existing tax loss and tax credit carry forwards.  The Company did incur such a change in ownership effective in the fourth quarter of 2004.  The result of the section 382 limitation was that the NOL carryover from 2004 and previous years was limited to $1,042,501 per year.  At this time the Company does not anticipate a section 383 limitation as a result of this ownership change.

Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity

On January 31, 2005, the State of Nevada approved the Board of Director's amendment to the articles of incorporation  were amended to increase the authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 75,000,000 shares.  On May 31, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved a one-for-five reverse stock split of all outstanding shares.  The historical share and per share amounts included in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the split.
 
On September 2, 2005, the Board approved the modification of 504,098 warrants whereby the expiration dates of the aforementioned warrants was extended from various dates throughout 2005, through and including December 31, 2005.  The Company recorded the effects of the modification of these terms of the warrants in accordance with variable accounting.  This modification resulted in additional expense of $1,446,200 being recorded in the year ending December 31, 2005. The Company accounted for this modification in warrant terms in accordance with variable accounting in that the extension of the expiration dates of the outstanding warrants results in a new measurement of compensation cost as if the award were newly granted.  Therefore, in applying variable accounting, the Company revalued the warrants as if they were granted on September 2, 2005 and recognized as compensation expense the difference between the fair value determined on September 2, 2005 and the fair value of the warrants determined when originally issued in 2002 and 2003.  The warrants, when originally issued, were determined to have a fair value of $198,844.  The warrants, when re-valued on September 2, 2005, were determined to have a fair value of $1,645,044, or a difference of $1,446,200.  This modification resulted in additional expense of $1,446,200 being recorded in the year ending December 31, 2005. The Black-Scholes valuation model was utilized to value the warrants in accordance with fair value as of both the original warrant issuance date and September 2, 2005.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2005, 1,600 shares of common stock were sold at $5.00 per share to an employee per an employment agreement.  In addition, 38,000 warrants were exercised at $1.25 per share and 64,000 warrants were exercised at $2.50 per share.  As of December 31, 2005, the Company recorded subscriptions receivable of $840,000 representing the exercises of 326,000 warrants at $2.50 per share and 5,000 warrants at $5.00 per share.  This amount was collected in cash in January 2006.

Note 10 – Mandatorily Redeemable Common Stock
 
On September 30, 2005, the Company entered into a manufacturing agreement with Source Plus, Inc. (“Source Plus”) and Mingkeda Industries Co. Ltd. (“Mingkeda”).  Source Plus advanced monies to Mingkeda for tooling and molds to build the Company’s products.  To reimburse Source Plus for its advances to Mingkeda, the Company issued 62,000 shares of common stock to Source Plus in October 2005 with an estimated market value of $5.00 per share.  The Company recorded a $310,000 asset for tooling which is being depreciated over a period of three years to reflect the estimated useful life of the tooling.  If an offering or other transaction to enable Source Plus the ability to register their issued shares was not completed on or before June 1, 2006, Source Plus could have required the Company to repay $310,000 in exchange for its return of the shares of common stock.  In accordance with SFAS No. 150, the Company had recorded the shares issued as a liability until such time as the registration contingency could be removed. The Company completed registration of the shares issued in its 2006 Private Placement on December 22, 2006 and the forgoing shares were reclassified as equity.

Note 11 – Subsequent Events
 
On June 14, 2007, the Company received gross proceeds of $312,500 from the exercise of 50,000 stock purchase warrants having an exercise price of $6.25 per share.

6.3  Certificates delivered to the Warrant Holder upon exercise hereof shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form if such Warrant Shares are not registered at the time of exercise:

 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
 
THIS WARRANT MAY NOT, IN ANY EVENT, BE TRANSFERRED TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY THAT IS NOT AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(c) OF REGULATION D OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
 
7.  REGISTRATION RIGHTS OF WARRANT HOLDER. The initial Warrant Holder (and certain permitted assignees thereof) is entitled to the benefit of registration rights in respect of Warrant Shares in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement executed and delivered by the initial Warrant Holder and the Company.
 

 
8.  ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES DELIVERABLE. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth in this Section 8
 
(a)  If the Company shall (i) issue any shares of its Common Stock as a stock dividend or (ii) subdivide the number of outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares at that time purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased.  If the Company shall reduce the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by combining such shares into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price per Warrant Share shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares at that time purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company shall, at any time during the life of this Warrant, declare a dividend payable in cash on its Common Stock and shall at substantially the same time offer to its stockholders a right to purchase new Common Stock from the proceeds of such dividend or for an amount substantially equal to the dividend, for purposes of this Warrant, all Common Stock so issued shall be deemed to have been issued as a stock dividend.  Any dividend paid or distributed upon the Common Stock in stock of any other class of securities convertible into shares of Common Stock shall be treated as a dividend paid in Common Stock to the extent that shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion thereof.
 
(b)  If the Company shall be recapitalized by reclassifying its outstanding Common Stock, (other than a change in par value or a subdivision or combination as provided in Section 8(a)), or the Company or a successor corporation shall consolidate or merge with or convey all or substantially all of its or of any successor corporation’s property and assets to any other corporation or corporations (any such other corporations being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation” hereinbefore used), then, as a condition of such recapitalization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Warrant Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property which such Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to any such reorganization or reclassification, such Warrant Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrant Holder such that the provisions set forth in this Section 8 (including provisions with respect to adjustment of the Exercise Price and number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
(c)  If the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its property or dissolve, liquidate, or wind up its affairs, lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of any such sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, so that the holder of this Warrant may thereafter receive upon exercise hereof in lieu of each Warrant Share that it would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of any securities or assets as may be issuable, distributable or payable upon any such sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to each share of Common Stock of the Company, provided, however, that in any case of any such sale or of dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the right to exercise this Warrant shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company; such date so fixed to be not earlier than 5:00 p.m., Mountain time, on the 45th day next succeeding the date on which notice of such termination of the right to exercise this Warrant has been given by mail to the registered holder of this Warrant at its address as it appears on the books of the Company.
 
(d)  No adjustment in the per share Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease in the Exercise Price by at least $0.01; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this subsection are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
 
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 8 and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect against impairment of the rights of the Warrant Holder to adjustments in the Exercise Price.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

OF

AEROGROW INTERNATIONAL, INC.

 
AEROGROW INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, _________ (the “Warrant Holder” and collectively with all other holders of Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement defined below, the “Warrant Holders”) is the owner of this Warrant to purchase, at any time during the period commencing on the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 2.1) and ending on the Expiration Date (as defined Section 2.5), up to ________ fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at a per share purchase price equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in Section 1.2) in lawful money of the United States of America.  This Warrant is part of the duly authorized issuance of up to 833,400 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, issued or to be issued by the Company as part of a certain private offering (“Offering”) pursuant a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 12, 2007 between the Buyers (as defined therein) and the Company (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).  The warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement are referred to herein as the “Warrants”.
 
1.  WARRANT; EXERCISE PRICE.
 
1.1  Each share of Common Stock to which the Warrant Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Warrant is referred to herein individually as a “Warrant Share” and severally, the “Warrant Shares.”
 
1.2  The purchase price payable upon exercise (“Exercise Price”) shall be $8.25 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8
 
2.  EXERCISE OF WARRANT; EXPIRATION DATE.
 
2.1  Exercise of Warrant.
 
(a) Exercise for Cash.  This Warrant is exercisable during the period commencing on March 27, 2007 (“Commencement Date”) and ending on the Expiration Date, in whole, or from time to time, in part, at the option of the Warrant Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, or such other person as the Company may designate, together with a duly completed and executed form of exercise attached hereto (indicating exercise by payment of the Exercise Price) and payment of an amount equal to the then applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased upon such exercise.  The payment of the Exercise Price shall be in cash or by certified check or official bank check, payable to the order of the Company.
 

 
(b) Cashless Exercise.  In lieu of exercising the Warrant pursuant to Section 2.1(a), this Warrant may be exercised during any period commencing on the first anniversary of the closing of the Offering and ending on the Expiration Date during which a valid Company prospectus covering the public re-sale of the Warrant Shares is not available to the Warrant Holder, in whole, or from time to time, in part, at the option of the Warrant Holder, upon surrender of the Warrant to the Company, or such other person as the Company may designate, together with a duly completed and executed form of exercise attached hereto (indicating exercise by cashless exercise), specifying the number of shares to be purchased upon exercise.  The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrant Holder upon such cashless exercise shall be computed using the following formula:
 
X = (P)(Y)(A-B)/A
Where
X =
the number of shares of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Warrant Holder for the Warrant being converted.
 
 
P =
the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased on exercise expressed as a decimal fraction.
 
 
Y =
the total number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in full.
 
 
A =
the fair market value of one Warrant Share which shall mean the "last sale price" as determined in accordance with Section 2.4.
 
 
B =
the Exercise Price on the date of conversion.
 
2.2  Effectiveness.  Each exercise of a Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which such Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 2.1.  At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2.3 below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.
 
2.3  Issuance.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant, in full or in part, the Company, at its expense, will use its best efforts to cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Warrant Holder, or, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to such other individual or entity as such Warrant Holder may direct: 
 
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which such Warrant Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Warrant Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof,
 
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, stating on the face or faces thereof the number of shares currently stated on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Warrant Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 2.1 (prior to any adjustments made thereto pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant), and
 
The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall round down to the next whole share.
 
2.4  Price.  “Last sale price” means (i) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq Capital Markets or NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), the closing bid price of the Common Stock in the principal trading market for the Common Stock as reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the case may be, (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), but is traded in the residual over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date in question for which such quotations are reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such quotations, and (iii) if the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot be determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in good faith. 
 
2.5  Expiration Date.  The term “Expiration Date” shall mean 5:00 p.m., Mountain time on March ___, 2012, or if such date shall in the State of Colorado be a holiday or a day on which banks are authorized to close, then 5:00 p.m., Mountain time the next following day which in the State of Colorado is not a holiday or a day on which banks are authorized to close.

3.  REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER ON COMPANY BOOKS.
 
3.1  The Company (or an agent of the Company) will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Warrant Holders.  Any Warrant Holder may change its, his or her address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.
 
3.2  The Company shall register upon its books any transfer of a Warrant upon surrender of same as provided in Section 5.
 

 
4.  RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such Warrant Shares and other stock, securities and property, as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company covenants that all shares of Warrant Shares so issuable when issued will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
 
5.  EXCHANGE, LOSS OR MUTILATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Warrant Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other warrants of different denominations entitling the holder thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder on the same terms and conditions as provided herein.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6, if applicable, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other warrants which carry the same rights upon presentation of such warrants at the Company’s office together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new warrants are to be issued and signed by the Warrant Holder hereof.  The term “Warrant” as used herein includes any warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or exchanged.  Upon receipt by the Company of reasonable evidence of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor and date representing an equal number of shares of Common Stock. 
 
6.  LIMITATION ON EXERCISE AND SALES.
 
6.1  Each Warrant Holder acknowledges that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any successor legislation, and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Warrant, or any Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise, in except in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.2.

6.3  Certificates delivered to the Warrant Holder upon exercise hereof shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form if such Warrant Shares are not registered at the time of exercise:
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
 
THIS WARRANT MAY NOT, IN ANY EVENT, BE TRANSFERRED TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY THAT IS NOT AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(c) OF REGULATION D OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
 
7.  REGISTRATION RIGHTS OF WARRANT HOLDER. The initial Warrant Holder (and certain permitted assignees thereof) is entitled to the benefit of registration rights in respect of Warrant Shares in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement executed and delivered by the initial Warrant Holder and the Company.
 

 
8.  ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES DELIVERABLE. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant to each Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth in this Section 8
 
(a)  If the Company shall (i) issue any shares of its Common Stock as a stock dividend or (ii) subdivide the number of outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares at that time purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately increased.  If the Company shall reduce the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by combining such shares into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price per Warrant Share shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares at that time purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.  If the Company shall, at any time during the life of this Warrant, declare a dividend payable in cash on its Common Stock and shall at substantially the same time offer to its stockholders a right to purchase new Common Stock from the proceeds of such dividend or for an amount substantially equal to the dividend, for purposes of this Warrant, all Common Stock so issued shall be deemed to have been issued as a stock dividend.  Any dividend paid or distributed upon the Common Stock in stock of any other class of securities convertible into shares of Common Stock shall be treated as a dividend paid in Common Stock to the extent that shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion thereof.
 
(b)  If the Company shall be recapitalized by reclassifying its outstanding Common Stock, (other than a change in par value or a subdivision or combination as provided in Section 8(a)), or the Company or a successor corporation shall consolidate or merge with or convey all or substantially all of its or of any successor corporation’s property and assets to any other corporation or corporations (any such other corporations being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation” hereinbefore used), then, as a condition of such recapitalization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Warrant Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property which such Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to any such reorganization or reclassification, such Warrant Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock which were then purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrant Holder such that the provisions set forth in this Section 8 (including provisions with respect to adjustment of the Exercise Price and number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
(c)  If the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its property or dissolve, liquidate, or wind up its affairs, lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of any such sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, so that the holder of this Warrant may thereafter receive upon exercise hereof in lieu of each Warrant Share that it would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of any securities or assets as may be issuable, distributable or payable upon any such sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to each share of Common Stock of the Company, provided, however, that in any case of any such sale or of dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the right to exercise this Warrant shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company; such date so fixed to be not earlier than 5:00 p.m., Mountain time, on the 45th day next succeeding the date on which notice of such termination of the right to exercise this Warrant has been given by mail to the registered holder of this Warrant at its address as it appears on the books of the Company.
 
(d)  No adjustment in the per share Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease in the Exercise Price by at least $0.01; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this subsection are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
 
(e) The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 8 and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect against impairment of the rights of the Warrant Holder to adjustments in the Exercise Price.
 
(f) Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Holder stating the adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
 
9.  VOLUNTARY ADJUSTMENT BY THE COMPANY. The Company may, at its option, at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company and/or extend the date of the expiration of this Warrant.
 
10.  RIGHTS OF THE HOLDER.  The Warrant Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Warrant Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
 

 
11.  NOTICES OF RECORD DATE.  In case: (a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or (b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Warrant Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be: (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.  Such notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice, provided that the failure to mail such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
 
12.  SUCCESSORS.  The rights and obligations of the parties to this Warrant will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, successors, assigns, pledgees, transferees and purchasers.

17.  AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.  Any amendment or waiver of any of the terms or conditions of the Warrants by the Company must be in writing and must be duly executed by the Company or on its behalf.  Any of the terms or conditions of the Warrants may be amended or waived by the Warrant Holders only upon the written consent of Warrant Holders representing 51% of the Warrants then outstanding.  Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding on all Warrant Holders whether they consented or not or whether their consent was solicited or not.  The failure of a party to exercise any of its rights hereunder or to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition hereof on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to the terms and conditions of this Warrant at a later date.  Further, no waiver of any of the terms and conditions of this Warrant shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other term of condition hereof (whether or not similar).

2.  Registration.
 
a.  Mandatory Registration.  The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities.  In the event that Form SB-2 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(c).  The Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount determined as of date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC.  The Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline.
 
b.  Allocation of Registrable Securities.  The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC.  In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor's Registrable Securities in any manner that leaves the Common Stock so transferred ineligible for resale without registration, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor.
 

 
c.  Ineligibility for Form SB-2 or S-3.  In the event that neither Form SB-2 nor Form S-3 is available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2 or S-3 as soon as either such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
 
d.  Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor's allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(b), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen days after the necessity therefor arises.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.  For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time less that number of shares of Common Stock that have already been sold pursuant to transactions covered by the Registration Statement by (ii) 0.90.  The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants and such calculation shall assume that the Warrants are then exercisable for shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants).
 
e.  Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.  If, during the period from the Closing Date until the second anniversary of the Closing Date (i) the Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (a "Filing Failure") or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline (an "Effectiveness Failure") or (ii) after the Effective Date sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(p)) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or to maintain the listing of the shares of Common Stock) (a "Maintenance Failure") then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement on each of the following dates: (i) the day of a Filing Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until such Filing Failure is cured, and (ii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until such Effectiveness Failure is cured, and (iii) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until such Maintenance Failure is cured.  The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(e) are referred to herein as "Registration Delay Payments."  Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the day of the Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure or the initial day of Maintenance Failure, as applicable, and thereafter on the earlier of (I) the thirtieth day after the event or failure giving rise to a Registration Delay Payments occurs, or (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Securities Purchase Agreement to the contrary in no event shall the aggregate amount of Registration Delay Payments (other than Registration Delay Payments payable pursuant to events that are within the control of the Company) exceed, in the aggregate, ten percent of the aggregate Purchase Price.
 
3.  Related Obligations.
 
At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(d), the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
 
a.  The Company shall submit to the SEC, within two Business Days after the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than three business days after the submission of such request.  The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act and is not otherwise prohibited by the SEC or any statute, rule, regulation or other applicable law from selling any such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Rule or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the "Registration Period").  The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading.
 

 
b.  The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.  In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-QSB, Form 10-KSB or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
 
c.  Upon request, the Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge,  (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, up to ten copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request), and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
 
 
d.  The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of all jurisdictions in the United States as may be requested in writing by an Investor, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall promptly notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
e.  The Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(p), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and upon request deliver ten copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request).  The Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing and by overnight mail, (i) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (ii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
 
f.  The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
g.  If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, at the reasonable request of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.
 
h.  If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, then at the request of such Investor in connection with such Investor's due diligence requirements, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) legal counsel for such investor and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by such Investors (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which the Inspector has knowledge.  Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.  Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors' ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
 

 
i.  The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement.  The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
 
j.  The Company shall use its best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement on The NASDAQ Capital Market, or (iii) if, despite the Company's best efforts to satisfy, the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on The NASDAQ Capital Market or the American Stock Exchange for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(j).
 
k.  The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the shares that were Registrable Securities prior to their sale under the Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.
 
l.  If requested by an Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as practicable make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as practicable, supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.
 
m.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
 
n.  The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period.
 
o.  The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.
 
p.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a "Grace Period"); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed five consecutive days and during any three-hundred-sixty-five day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of twenty days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five trading days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an "Allowable Grace Period").  For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice.  The provisions of Section 3(e) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period.  Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration Statement (unless an exemption from such prospectus delivery requirements exists), prior to the Investor's receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
 

 
4.  Obligations of the Investors.
 
a.  At least five Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
 
b.  Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
 
c.  Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
 
d.  Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
5.  Expenses of Registration.
 
All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company.
 
6.  Indemnification.
 
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
 
a.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, "Claims") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations").  Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a):  (A) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and (B) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, including a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus or corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (C) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
 

 
b.  In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
 
c.  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates.  The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party.  Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
 
d.  The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
 
e.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
 
7.  Contribution.
 
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:  (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 

 
8.  Reports Under the 1934 Act.
 
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:
 
a.  make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
 
b.  file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
 
c.  furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
 
9.  Assignment of Registration Rights.
 
The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor's Registrable Securities if:  (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
10.  Amendment of Registration Rights.
 
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.  No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
 
11.  Miscellaneous.
 
a.  A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities.  If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
 

 
b.  Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:

EXHIBIT B

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling Stockholders and those issuable to the Selling Stockholders upon exercise of the warrants.  For additional information regarding the issuances of common stock and the warrants, see "Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants" above.  We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.  Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
 
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders.  The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants, as of ________, 2007, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercise.
 
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
 
In accordance with the terms of registration rights agreements with the holders of the shares of common stock and the warrants, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued and (ii) 150% of the number of shares of common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the related warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised, as applicable, in full, as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC.  The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
 
Under the terms of the warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants, to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised.  The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation.  The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering.  See "Plan of Distribution."

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the shares of common stock previously issued and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the common stock and warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock.  We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
 
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents.  If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions.  The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.  These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
 
·  
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
 
·  
in the over-the-counter market;
 
·  
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
 
·  
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
 
·  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
·  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·  
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
·  
privately negotiated transactions;
 
·  
short sales;
 
·  
sales pursuant to Rule 144;
 
·  
broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
·  
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
·  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 

 
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).  In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume.  The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales.  The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
 
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.  The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
 
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
 
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
 
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person.  Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.  All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
 
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[     ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.  We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution.  We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we may be entitled to contribution.
 
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
