NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1)

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2009, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been prepared by us without audit.  In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of September 30, 2009 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

This report should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

The Financial Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification  ("ASC") effective for financial statements issued for interim  and  annual  periods ending after  September 15, 2009. The ASC is an aggregation of previously issued authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in one comprehensive set of guidance organized by subject area.  In accordance with the ASC, references to previously issued accounting standards have been replaced by ASC references. Subsequent revisions to GAAP will be incorporated into the ASC through Accounting Standards Updates (ASU).  The ASC did not have an effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

In  accordance  with  ASC  855, the Company evaluated all events or transactions that  occurred after September 30, 2009 up through the filing of this Form 10-Q, November 23, 2009.  During this period no material subsequent events came to our attention.

On June 22, 2006, we borrowed the principal amount of $1,200,000 (the “June 2006 Debt”) from two non-affiliated persons (the “Lenders”) due June 22, 2008. Pursuant to an agreement dated as of August 7, 2007 (the “August 2007 Agreement”), Robert F. Rose Investments and two other non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Purchasers”) entered into an agreement with the Lenders to purchase the June 2006 Debt, which transaction is personally guaranteed by Mr. Rose. Upon the completion of said transaction, the Purchasers had agreed to automatically convert their June 2006 Debt into shares of our Common Stock at $.30 per share. To date, $795,000 of the $1,200,000 has been completed and converted into our Common Stock at $.30 per share and $50,000 in principal was paid back. Pursuant to an agreement dated as of September 21, 2007, the Purchasers agreed to assign the remaining $355,000 to be purchased pursuant to the August 2007 Agreement to five non-affiliated persons (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Assignees”) and the Assignees deposited $355,000 in escrow with Lenders’ attorney, as Escrow Agent. Subsequently, the Assignees notified the Escrow Agent that it should not release the escrowed funds from escrow and demanded the return of their funds. Said $355,000 is currently the subject of a legal dispute and to our knowledge such funds are being held in escrow by the Lenders’ attorneys. Although there is a dispute as to the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to the aforementioned agreements and the possible conversion of the June 2006 Debt into shares of our Common Stock, we had continued to make the quarterly interest payments on the June 2006 Debt so as to avoid any claim of default. However, on June 22, 2008, the June 22, 2006 debt became due and payable and no payment of principal or accrued interest thereon was made by us. It is management’s position, although no assurance can be given in this regard, that we do not owe the lenders the $355,000 and that we were obligated to deliver 1,183,333 shares of common stock to the assignees upon conversion thereof. Nevertheless, we have continued to include the principal of the June 2006 Debt (exclusive of interest after June 22, 2008) on our consolidated balance sheet in order to reflect the worst case scenario.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 164, Not-For-Profit Entities: Mergers and Acquisitions – Including an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 142, which establishes principles and requirements for determining whether a combination is a merger or an acquisition, applies the carryover method in accounting for a merger, applies the acquisition method in accounting for an acquisition, and determine what information to disclose.  The statement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2009. Management has determined that this statement will have no material effect on the Organization’s reporting

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events, which establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued.  This statement sets forth the period during which management should evaluate events for possible recognition, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize subsequent events, and the disclosures an entity should make regarding those events.  This statement is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009.  We have adopted the new disclosure requirements in our September 30, 2009 condensed financial statements. Management has determined that this statement will have no material effect on the Organization’s reporting

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 166, Accounting for transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, which clarifies the accounting for transfers of financial assets between entities. The statement is effective for all period in the starting after November 15, 2009. Management has determined that this statement will have no material effect on the Organization’s reporting

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity.  Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.  The statement is effective for all period beginning after November 15, 2009. Management has determined that this statement will have no material effect on the Organization’s reporting

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, which consolidated the various FSASB statements into one authoritative source.  This statement is effective for all period ending after September 15, 2009. Management has determined that this statement will have no material effect on the Organization’s reporting

Each note carries a default interest rate of 15% per annum. Aggregate monthly payments of 1.2% of the principal amount were paid from November 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006, then aggregate monthly payments of 3% of the principal amount were originally payable from May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006, and then aggregate monthly payments of 6% of the principal amount were originally payable commencing November 1, 2006 through October 31, 2007. However, as a result of the June 22, 2006 debt financing, the payment arrangements were modified. Monthly payments of interest only (8%) based on the principal amount were paid from June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2007, and then aggregate monthly payments of 6% of the principal amount were paid from June 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008. A Modification Agreement was entered into in March 2007 so that each Note became due and payable on March 20, 2008. Pursuant to a further Modification Agreement and a $150,000 payment towards principal, the balance of the unpaid principal of the Notes and any unpaid interest thereon was due and payable on August 29, 2008. However, pursuant to a Revised and Amended Sixth Waiver and Modification Agreement dated as of September 16, 2008, the Senior Lenders received the payment of default interest calculated at the rate of 21% per annum (versus 8%) for the period April 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008 as consideration to extend the Maturity Date of the Notes to November 1, 2008. Accordingly, all accrued interest had been paid in full as of September 30, 2008. Commencing October 1, 2008 and thereafter, the interest rate shall revert



6





to an amount equal to 8% per annum. In addition, the holders of the December 2004 Debt agreed to convert an aggregate of $124,093 in principal and accrued interest therein at a conversion price of $.10 per share.

The individual note holders have the right, at their option, to convert the principal amount of the note, together with all accrued interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of and upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in the note, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share set forth below, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances if the notes are then outstanding, such as a stock split, combination or dividend; or in the event the Company issues shares of common stock for consideration of less than the exercise price. From March 20, 2008 through October 20, 2008, the Note holder could have elected at any time to convert through the Maturity Date of the Notes and thereafter until the Notes were paid in full, the unpaid principal of the Notes and the accrued interest thereon at a 10% discount (15% discount if the average trading volume per day over the ten preceding trading days prior to a conversion date is 60,000 shares per day or less) to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock. The fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock is defined as the average of the closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board for the ten trading days preceding each respective conversion date of the Note(s). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Notes shall not at any time be convertible at a conversion price below $.10 per share (the “Floor Price”) or above a ceiling price of $.25 per share (the “Ceiling Price”). In October 2008, the conversion price was fixed at $.10 per share pursuant to anti-dilution provisions of the Note. During March 2009, the holders of certain senior convertible securities originally issued on December 2, 2004, extended the due date of the debt to November 30, 2009 in exchange for the issuance of Class G warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of common stock in the Company.  In March 2009, the conversion price of the Notes was also lowered to $.03 per share. Concurrently, the Class A, C, D, E and F warrants held by these investors were cancelled and an equal number of Class G warrants were issued as replacements.

In May, 2009, $93,097 of the Notes and $388 in interest was converted at $.03 per share into 3,116,164 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, reducing the principal balance of the debt underlying the 2004 Notes to $279,292 as of September 30, 2009.

The notes are secured by all of the Company’s assets until the notes have been fully paid or fully converted into common stock.

Detachable common stock warrants issued with 2004 convertible promissory notes

In March 2009, the Company issued 1,800,000 warrants to new investors who assumed one half of the 2004 debt from the existing holders. The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of these warrants at $58,612. The assumptions used to value the warrants are as follows:  

 

 

Risk-free interest rate

1.0%

Dividend yield

0.00%

Volatility factor

194.26%

Weighted average expected life

 1.61 years 


The relative fair value of these warrants was calculated at $44,579. This relative fair value was recorded as a discount to the assumed debt and will be amortized to interest over the remaining life of the loans. The relative fair value of previously issued detachable warrants associated with the convertible notes was charged to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding discount on the convertible notes payable. The discount was amortized over the original life of the debt.

At September 30, 2009, there were 7,019,505 warrants outstanding and exercisable associated with this debt. These warrants were valued at $158,094.

Subordinated Convertible Notes Payable

On June 22, 2006, the Company entered into agreements to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000 and to issue to the investors’ subordinated, convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants. In April 2007, the Company lowered the exercise price on the conversion and the warrants and revalued warrants and the associated discount on the convertible debt. On August 8, 2007, one-half of the debt was acquired by unrelated parties. The new holders converted $600,000 of the debt on August 8, 2007 and later an additional $195,000 in September 2007 at $.30 per share. The Company also paid $50,000 to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the debt to $355,000. All the holders agreed to unwind the changes made in April 2007 to reduce the number of warrants outstanding to previous levels and to reset the exercise price to amounts consistent with the other convertible debt and warrants. Also, the holders of the 2006 convertible debt agreed to cancel their “D” and “E” warrants.

The Company’s subordinated, convertible promissory notes payable consist of the following at September 30, 2009:

$600,000 subordinated, convertible promissory note

These notes are subordinated to the convertible promissory notes listed above, which are collateralized by all of the Company’s assets until the notes have been fully paid or fully converted into common stock.

The individual note holders have the right, at their option, to convert the principal amount of the note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share described below, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances if the notes are then outstanding, such as a stock split, combination or dividend; or in the event the Company issues shares of common stock for consideration of less than the exercise price. The convertible notes, which aggregate in principal $355,000, are currently the subject of a legal dispute. The original holders of these notes agreed to sell these notes to third parties, which parties assigned a portion of these rights to five assignees. The third parties and their assignees agreed at each closing to convert their debt into BlastGard common stock at a fixed conversion price of $.30 per share. The original owners of these notes and the third parties (but not the assignees) have entered into agreements with BlastGard such that in the event they are determined by a court of law or settlement agreement to be the owners of the notes, each note shall be convertible into common stock based upon the same formulas and conversion rights (i.e. $.03 per shares) as those currently held by the holders of the December 2004 notes currently due November 30, 2009. In the event the assignees are determined to be the rightful owners of the notes that became due on June 22, 2008, then these notes would continue to convert at a fixed conversion price of $.30 per share.

Carrying value of subordinated, convertible notes payable

The conversion of the subordinated, convertible notes payable was fixed at $0.30 per share of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to ASC 815-10, options embedded in contracts containing the price of a specific equity instrument are not clearly and closely related to an investment in an interest-bearing note and the embedded derivative must be separated from the host contract. At September 30, 2009, $355,000 in principal of the subordinated convertible notes was still outstanding as were a portion of the warrants. See “Note 1.”  As a result, the Company bifurcated the option resulting from the conversion feature and classified it as a derivative liability pursuant to ASC 815-15.  The derivative expired with the original debt.

Detachable common stock warrants issued with subordinated convertible promissory notes

The warrants are detachable and are valued separately from the convertible notes payable. Therefore, the total fair value of the warrants, $1,200,000, was charged to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding discount on the convertible notes payable. Changes to the value of the warrants are also charged to additional paid-in-capital and discount on convertible notes payable. The remaining discount was amortized over the life of the debt. At September 30, 2009, there were 10,285,949 warrants outstanding and exercisable associated with this debt. These warrants were valued at $196,103.

Debt issue costs

The subordinated, convertible debt discounts and related debt issue costs have been fully amortized.

Litigation

No current pending litigation.

Litigation Settlement

On July 19, 2006, we filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida. The Defendants in the lawsuit are Sam Gettle, Guy Gettle and Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership (“Verde”). The lawsuit contends that the Defendants have committed defamatory acts against BlastGard International and its products. The lawsuit also asks for a declaration that BlastGard International is not liable for the acts complained of in the Nevada action. On BlastGard’s affirmative claims for defamation, the Florida action seeks injunctive relief and damages in excess of $15,000, exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs. Sam Gettle, Guy Gettle, and Verde counter claimed in the lawsuit alleging the same bad acts complained of in the Nevada action. The counterclaim seeks an award of unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On April 2, 2009, the company entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle our outstanding civil litigation. The company will pay the sum of $125,000 over 18 months. The first monthly payment was paid within 30 days after the Defendants deliver to the Company’s counsel an original executed version of the Agreement and a promissory note in the amount of the remaining principal balance to bear interest in the amount of 6% per annum. Upon Verde’s receipt of the payment and promissory note, the parties shall jointly dismiss with prejudice all litigation between them, including the Pinellas County action and the Federal action. The company and Verde also entered into a license



10





agreement whereby BlastGard obtains a fully paid up non-exclusive license for the 2 Verde patents for the remaining life of those patents in exchange for the Company paying Verde a 2% royalty for the life of the patents, on the sales price received by BlastGard for BlastGard’s portion of all blast mitigation products sold by the company (the royalty is not on any third-party’s portion of any product containing blast mitigation products sold by BlastGard). The parties also agreed not to file any complaints with any state, federal or international agency or disciplinary body regarding any of the other parties or any person affiliated with any of the other parties or otherwise make negative statements about them (in other words, a broad non-disparagement clause). The company and Verde also signed mutual general releases (excepting the obligations above) and a covenant not to sue.

Item 2.

Management’s Plan of Operation

Statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those projected. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of future performance and those actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: well-established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and longer operating histories, regulatory delays or denials, ability to compete as a start-up company in a highly competitive market, and access to sources of capital.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this Form 10-Q contains certain forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this Form 10-Q should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear herein. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.

The financial information furnished herein has not been audited by an independent accountant; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (only consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2009, have been included.

Reorganization with BlastGard Technologies, Inc.

On January 31, 2004, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of BlastGard Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation, from BlastGard Technologies’ shareholders, in exchange for an aggregate of 18,200,000 (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock split) shares of our common stock. BTI is a development stage company that was created to develop, design, manufacture, and market proprietary blast mitigation materials. BlastGard Technologies’ patent-pending BlastWrap® technology is designed to effectively mitigate blasts and suppress fires resulting from explosions. As a result of the Reorganization Agreement, a change in control and change in management of the Company occurred and BTI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Reorganization Agreement also provided that the Company hold a shareholder meeting to (i) change the name of the corporation to BlastGard® International, Inc., and (ii) approve a reverse split of the outstanding common stock on a 5:1 basis. A Special Shareholder meeting was held on March 12, 2004, and both proposals were approved. The name change and the reverse split of the outstanding common stock became effective on March 31, 2004.

BlastGard Technologies was formed on September 26, 2003, and was a development stage company. BTI acquired its only significant asset, a patent application for BlastWrap®, in January 2004, from co-inventors John L. Waddell, Jr., our former Chief Operating Officer and President, and James F. Gordon, our Chairman and President, who assigned the patent to BlastGard Technologies in consideration of the consummation of the Reorganization Agreement. For accounting purposes, we assigned no monetary value to the patent application that was assigned to BlastGard Technologies. Our current management team, which was the management team of BlastGard Technologies prior to the reorganization, had operated a corporation called BlastGard, Inc., which was dissolved in 2004. BlastGard, Inc. had a license from a third-party to certain technology which is different from the technology owned by BlastGard Technologies.

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, BlastGard Technologies became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. However, for accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a recapitalization of BlastGard Technologies, with our company the legal surviving entity.

Results of Operations

Since emerging from our development stage operations in 2005, our BlastGard MTR blast mitigated trash receptacles have been sold to government service advantage (“GSA”) clients located in the United States. We received orders for MTRs from AmTrak, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, GSA for Federal Buildings, NYC Transit, major airport and for BlastWrap® from the Naval Weapons Station Earle, Sandia National Labs, and several domestic and international entities. A major U.S. airport ordered 156 BlastGard MTR Blast Mitigated Receptacles, which order resulted in gross revenues to the




12





Company of over $700,000. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we recognized sales of $28,423 and a gross profit of $13,536. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized sales of $41,221 and a gross profit of $19,240.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, our overall operating and non operating expenses dropped significantly from the prior year due to a reduction in research and development costs of $25,110 and amortized debt discount of $39,007 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $131,352 and $235,856 respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In November 2008, we took measures to reduce our monthly operating costs from approximately $110,000 per month to an estimated $50,000 per month. See “Recent Developments.”

Our net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $(114,553) as compared to $(184,282) for the comparable period of the prior year. The decreases in net loss are due to a decrease in operating and non-operating expenses.

BlastGard’s products are being tested (or have recently been tested) and evaluated by many military and defense contractors and commercial companies in the United States and abroad as described under Business Prospects. As we experience anticipated growth and expansion of our operations, we will experience an increase in operating expenses and costs of doing business.

Business Prospects

On February 13, 2008, we introduced a new product for perimeter and structure protection. The BlastGard Barrier System (“BBS”) is an innovative combination of three patented technologies, an HDPE cellular core, BlastWrap® and an aesthetically pleasing novel fascia system. BBS has extraordinary blast, ballistic, fragment, shaped charge jet and breaching resistance capabilities and it is beautiful, low cost, configurable and “stealthy”. The cellular core material, patented by the U.S. Army, has been used extensively by the U.S. military and commercial clients worldwide for building roads, for shoring up unstable roads, for extensive soil stabilization projects and for revetments and barriers. After the core is placed and filled, BlastWrap® is attached to the “threat side(s)” of the BBS structure, and finally, the fascia system encloses the entire structure, thereby creating an effective “stealth” characteristic for the entire BBS structure…that is, the extreme capabilities of this system are not at all visually apparent. BlastGard’s new high-capacity Clients with concerns about heavy blast, breaching, ballistic, fragment and shaped charge jet threats to their facilities can now effectively address all of those threats with our economical solution.” Optional electronic security capabilities can also be integrated into the system.

On February 25, 2008, we introduced a new product for Airport Security, transit stations, convention centers, and other transportation centers’ with security requirements, the BlastGard® Gard Cart. The BlastGard® MBR Gard Cart (Mobile Suspect Package Removal Unit), which houses BlastGard’s MBR 300, provides security personnel with an effective tool for safe removal of an explosive device after it is discovered. The MBR Gard Cart contains and protects against all lethal threats posed by the detonation of an improvised explosive device (IED) and also provides rapid removal of the threat using a Mobile Removal Unit Cart. When a suspect package or device is discovered, the airports now have a safe means of securing that package and removing it from public exposure until the bomb squad arrives. In this way, the MBR Gard Cart can help prevent long airport facility shut-down times presently experienced when a suspect package is discovered.

On July 17, 2008 BlastGard announced receipt of a formal purchase agreement for 156 BlastGard MTR blast mitigated receptacles valued at approximately $700,000 for a major United States airport. BlastGard’s blast mitigating receptacles were installed throughout the facility and this very important transaction has opened the door to the Airport Security market for our Blast Mitigating Receptacles. Receptacles, which are a necessity for waste management, pose a serious threat to public safety considering how easily they can conceal an explosive device. The installation of these blast mitigating receptacles is another step toward USA airport's emphasis on safety, reliability, enhanced cleanliness and improved customer service. In addition to a $2,000,000 order from Miami Airport, which is pending the securing of grant funds. We are attempting to secure funding for pending MTR orders from Houston Airport, San Francisco Airport, and Chicago Airport.

On September 22, 2008 BlastGard announced an agreement with U. S. Explosive Storage to provide them with BlastWrap for insensitive munitions packaging of ammunition storage, ordnance storage, pyrotechnics storage, and other explosive materials storage, utilized, among other things, for military, governmental, and commercial use. BlastGard and U.S. Explosive are joining forces to create storage and transportation boxes that will prevent sympathetic detonation through BlastWrap’s unique proprietary technology. Initial testing was completed the week of March 23, 2009. The US ARMY Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board (“DDESB”) sponsored 2 of our tests for the purpose of getting DDESB certification. DDESB wants ISO certified blast mitigated containers for major storage and special ISO containers to store grenades, etc. We will be installing BlastWrap inside storage boxes and inside the magazines. U.S. Explosives is forecasting




13





sales of $5-6 million in year one and approximately $8 million in year two. The BlastWrap component in the new product line represents approximately $1.8 million in year one and $2.4 million in year two.

In February 2009, Precision Operations Systems India Pvt. Ltd., which has been supplying security, surveillance, counter surveillance and special ops equipment to various Government entities in India, purchased BGI’s MBR (mitigated bomb receptacle) for testing. Precision is our commercial representative for India and represented BlastGard at the 12th India International Security Expo, which was held from February 22-25, 2009. We anticipate additional sales in 2009.

In March 2009, BlastGard entered into a commercial representative agreement with Lindner & Co. as our exclusive sales and marketing representative for Iraq. Lindner’s alliance with an Iraqi company, which has a credentialed history with US Corps of Engineers, KBR, and other Iraqi national companies as well as business relationships with companies in Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Jordan and other Middle Eastern countries, will operate in Iraq as the authorized installer for BlastGard in Iraq.

Various Product Lines Identified For BlastWrap® - We have Several Completed and Finished Products

We are currently manufacturing our core product, BlastWrap®, for sale in various forms to non-affiliated third-parties. The primary application for BlastWrap® is as an intermediate good for numerous civilian and military applications and uses.

Our technology is being customized for specific industries and applications. We have examined the various markets where explosions occur, selected targeted applications and focused on development of products for those businesses and agencies at risk. While designing finished products engineered with BlastWrap®, we have taken into account that some products must be portable, while others will remain at a fixed location. Some products have been designed to contain identified explosive agents, while others are designed to mitigate unidentified explosive threats. With these standards in mind, we have developed or are developing the following product lines to address the needs of customers and targeted markets:

·

Mitigated Bomb Receptacles and MBR Gard Cart;

·

Blast Mitigated Unit Load Device (“BMULD”) – LD3 Container;

·

Lining – Aircraft;

·

Insensitive Munitions (IM) Weapons Container;

·

Mitigated Trash Receptacle; and

·

BlastGard Barrier System (“BBS”).

MBR 300 and MBR Gard Cart

The BlastGard Mitigated-Bomb Receptacle (MBR 300) is intended to provide airport security personnel with an effective tool, if and when an explosive is discovered. The MBR 300 will dramatically contain and protect against all lethal threats posed by the detonation of an IED; namely, primary fragments, secondary fragments, mechanical effects (shock/blast pressure) and thermal effects (contact and radiation burn) from the fireball, after burn and resultant post-blast fires. If a suspect package or bomb is discovered, the airports will use the MBR 300 as a safe means of securing that package until the bomb squad arrives, or remove the suspicious device from the area, allowing airport operations to continue.

The BlastGard® MBR Gard Cart (Mobile Suspect Package Removal Unit), which houses BlastGard’s MBR 300, provides security personnel with an effective tool for safe removal of an explosive device after it is discovered. The MBR Gard Cart contains and protects against all lethal threats posed by the detonation of an improvised explosive device (IED) and also provides rapid removal of the threat using a Mobile Removal Unit Cart. When a suspect package or device is discovered, the airports now have a safe means of securing that package and removing it from public exposure until the bomb squad arrives. In this way, the MBR Gard Cart can help prevent long airport facility shut-down times presently experienced when a suspect package is discovered. The United States Transportation Security Administration has worked hard to secure U.S. airports against a range of threats that includes attacks against both aircraft and ground facilities. The largest and most visible investment made by the agency has been in enhancing the passenger screener force and in massively expanding the number of explosive detection systems (EDS) required to examine checked luggage for bombs. Effective security, therefore, includes not only deterrent and preventive measures but also efforts to mitigate casualties, damage, and disruption. Since deterrence and prevention are sometimes difficult to achieve given the nature of terrorism and the inherent vulnerabilities of public




14





transportation, great emphasis is also placed upon the mitigation of casualties through design of facilities and upon effective, rapid response that ensures safety while minimizing disruption. We believe that the MBR 300 is an ideal incident / security management technology for airports when dealing with bomb threats and suspicious objects or packages, especially in passenger carryon baggage.

Twin-Aisle (containerized) Aircraft – Blast Mitigated Unit Load Devices (BMULDs)

LD3 Cargo Containers are used primarily on twin aisle/wide body aircraft such as the B747. These luggage or cargo containers are manufactured by a few well-established companies throughout the world. The market is extremely competitive with low margins. In accordance with an agreement with Nordisk Aviation Products, we have combined our BlastWrap® blast-mitigating technology with Nordisk’s LD3 containers to create superior blast mitigating products for the air cargo and unit loading device (ULD) market called BlastGard BMULD. ULDs are pallets and containers used to load luggage, freight, and mail onto wide-body aircraft that facilitate the bundling of cargo into large units. The alliance has developed a new line of ULDs that include BlastWrap®. The introduction of this product line enables us to provide the airline industry an important new line of defense to increase airline safety of passengers and crewmembers. This revolutionary new container design incorporating BlastWrap® will prevent shock holing of the fuselage, effectively retaining the structural integrity of the aircraft; prevent post-blast fires and conflagration in the hold; and add little or only negligible weight to the ULD.

Lining – Single-Aisle (non-containerized) Aircraft

Working in conjunction with aircraft and shipping manufacturers, we are designing products and component assemblies to be used in the cargo holds of single-aisle aircraft. Due to the heightened security surrounding aircraft safety, we are diligently working to demonstrate the effectiveness of our product on this large sector which is estimated at about 70% of the commercial fleet.

Insensitive Munitions (IM) Weapons Containers

Weapons containers require specialty design. We have developed several of these containers for evaluation and testing by the United States, United Kingdom and other military clients. Although we do not have a development or supply contract with any military agencies at this time, we anticipate important prototype testing of these designs will ensue in 2009 with our strategic partner Lancer Systems and with the National Warheads and Energetics Consortium (NWEC) / Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC). This product line will have numerous versions for military weapons including bombs, rockets, medium and large caliber ammunition and missiles. In addition, in September 2008, we announced an agreement with U. S. Explosive Storage to provide them with BlastWrap for insensitive munitions packaging of ammunition storage, ordnance storage, pyrotechnics storage, and other explosive materials storage, utilized, among other things, for military, governmental, and commercial use. Prototype testing is planned to begin in the 4th quarter of 2008. We will be installing BlastWrap inside storage boxes and inside the magazines. U.S. Explosives is forecasting sales of $5-6 million in year one and approximately $8 million in year two. The BlastWrap component in the new product line represents approximately $1.8 million in year one and 2.4 million in year two with ever increasing sales on a year over year basis.

Trash Receptacles

We have four models of mitigated trash receptacles, the BlastGard® MTR 81, MTR 91, MTR 96 and MTR 101. These containers have been designed and proof tested to drastically mitigate blast pressures and thermal output and to capture bomb fragments.

Vehicle Improvised Explosive Devices and Mine Protection

Military vehicles (such as MRAPs, HMMWVs, HEMMT, M915 and FMTV) are or can be “up-armored” for improvised explosive devices and land mine protection. BlastGard® and Colt Rapid Mat LLC have developed and are now offering a new product called BATS. These specialty Colt Rapid Mat fiberglass-cased BlastWrap® products are easy to retro-fit to armored vehicles to provide protection for occupants from blast thermal output and head, neck and spine injuries from blast pressures. Initial durability testing of BATS by the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) for the Office of Naval Research has been concluded successfully. Further testing awaits selection and funding by NATC/ONR for blast testing.  An important additional partner in these vehicle applications is Cellular Materials International, Inc. which has a periodic cellular material shown to be effective in managing the heavy G-loads typical of under-vehicle blast threats.

BlastGard Barrier System (“BBS”) High-Capacity Wall System for Perimeter and Structure Protection

The BBS product is an innovative combination of three patented technologies, an HDPE cellular core, BlastWrap® and an aesthetically pleasing novel fascia system. BBS has extraordinary blast, ballistic, fragment, shaped charge jet and breaching resistance capabilities and it is beautiful, low cost, configurable and “stealthy”. The cellular core material, patented by the U.S. Army, has been used extensively by the U.S. military and commercial clients worldwide for building roads, for shoring up unstable roads, for extensive soil stabilization projects and for revetments and barriers. After the core is placed and filled, BlastWrap® is attached to the “threat side(s)” of the BBS structure, and finally, the fascia system encloses the entire structure, thereby creating an effective “stealth” characteristic for the entire BBS structure that is, the extreme capabilities of this system are not at all visually apparent. Clients with concerns about heavy blast, breaching, ballistic, fragment and shaped charge jet threats to their facilities can now effectively address all of those threats with our economical solution. Optional electronic security capabilities can also be integrated into the system.

In summary, we have developed either finished products or working prototypes of BlastWrap® products for each of the product lines described above. All of these products have been successfully tested and evaluated in-house, by third-parties and by interested clients and strategic partners. Prototypes may require further modifications based on the test results and client and partner feed-back. However, we have the following products that are completed and finished products, available for sale that we are currently manufacturing and marketing:

·

The core product, BlastWrap®;

·

BlastGard® MTR (mitigated trash receptacle);

·

BlastGard MBR 300 (mitigated bomb receptacle) and MBR Gard Cart;

·

BMULD (Blast Mitigated Unit Load Device - LD3 Container); and

·

BlastGard Barrier System (“BBS”) high-capacity wall system for perimeter and structure protection.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

At September 30, 2009, we had cash of $653, working capital of $(889,528), an accumulated deficit of $(13,086,770) and shareholder equity of $(722,935).  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash used in operating activities was $(76,730) primarily due to our net loss of $(580,272), partially offset by a $116,500 in stock based compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we used cash in investing activities for payment of deferred costs of $(26,693). During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received $12,599 from our credit line and received $90,000 from the sale of stock.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $(1,026,331) primarily due to our net loss of $(1,099,365). During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we used cash in investing activities for payment of deferred costs of $(74,559). During the nine months ended September 30 2008, net cash was used in financing activities for principal payments on convertible debt of $(328,354) and we received $80,000 from our line of credit.  

At September 30, 2009, we had cash of $653 and we owed approximately $273,719 in principal and $0 in accrued interest to the holders of our December 2004 Debt. As described below, we paid down the December 2004 Debt by $150,000 in addition to several partial conversions and received extensions from the holders of the December 2004 Debt to make payment in full on or before November 30, 2009.

In regards to the September 2006 Debt, we filed a Form 8-K on July 2, 2008.  On September 22, 2006, we borrowed the principal amount of $1,200,000 (the “June 2006 Debt”) from two non-affiliated persons (the “Lenders”) due June 22, 2008. Pursuant to an agreement dated as of August 7, 2007 (the “August 2007 Agreement”), Robert F. Rose Investments and two other non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Purchasers”) entered into an agreement with the Lenders to purchase the June 2006 Debt, which transaction is personally guaranteed by Mr. Rose.  Upon the completion of said transaction, the Purchasers had agreed to automatically convert their June 2006 Debt into shares of our Common Stock at $.30 per share. To date, $795,000 of the $1,200,000 has been completed and converted into our Common Stock at $.30 per share and $50,000 in principal was paid back. Pursuant to an agreement dated as of September 21, 2007, the Purchasers agreed to assign the remaining $355,000 to be purchased pursuant to the August 2007 Agreement to five non-affiliated persons (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Assignees”) and the Assignees deposited $355,000 in escrow with




16





Lenders’ attorney, as Escrow Agent. Subsequently, the Assignees notified the Escrow Agent that it should not release the escrowed funds from escrow and demanded the return of their funds. Said $355,000 is currently the subject of a legal dispute and such funds are being held in escrow by the Lenders’ attorneys. Although there is a dispute as to the rights and obligations of the parties pursuant to the aforementioned agreements and the possible conversion of the June 2006 Debt into shares of our Common Stock, we had continued to make the quarterly interest payments on the June 2006 Debt so as to avoid any claim of default. However, on June 22, 2008, the June 22, 2006 debt became due and payable and no payment of principal or accrued interest thereon was made by us. It is management’s position, although no assurance can be given in this regard, that we do not owe the lenders the $355,000 and that we were obligated to deliver 1,183,333 shares of common stock to the assignees upon conversion thereof. Nevertheless, we have continued to include the principal of the June 2006 Debt (exclusive of interest after June 22, 2008) on our consolidated balance sheet in order to reflect the worse case scenario. See “Note 1” and “Recent Developments.”

To date, we have relied on management’s ability to raise capital through equity private placement financings to fund our operations. The Company has also borrowed $98,000 from a credit line, which was secured by a personal guarantee of Michael Gordon, its Chief Financial Officer, new Chief Executive Officer and a director. The Company has not been able to generate significant orders from sales to fund its operations nor has it been successful in raising approximately up to $1,500,000 in additional funds sufficient to carry on its operations for a period of approximately one year. We have an immediate need of cash to support our operations, current debt obligations and capital expenditures and to continue as a going concern. The Company is continuing to attempt to obtain cash to finance its operations through the sale of equity, debt borrowing and/or through the receipt of product licensing fees. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or obtain additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, to remain a going concern. We can provide no assurances that a mutually acceptable licensing agreement will be entered into on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. The Company’s executive officers have not been paid any salary and have had their salaries accrued since May 2009. We can provide no assurances that they will continue to be able to provide their time and effort to the Company without the timely payment of their salaries (including accruals thereof). Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. In this respect, see “Note 1 – Going Concern” in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in our Form 10-K filing for additional information as to the possibility that we may not be able to continue as a “going concern.”

Recent Developments

On August 10, 2009, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Andrew McKinnon from the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and elected Michael J. Gordon to replace Mr. McKinnon as Chief Executive Officer.

A major U.S. airport ordered 156 BlastGard MTR Blast Mitigated Receptacles, which order resulted in gross revenues to the Company of over $700,000. On January 7, 2009, the Company’s accounts receivable balance of $255,800 at December 31, 2008 was paid in full from a major U.S. airport from the sale of its Blast Mitigating trash receptacles.   

As of September 30, 2009, BlastGard’s salary accruals and benefits to its executive officers totaled $69,973 and its other account payable totaled $92,120.  Excluding our cash needs to meet these and other debt obligations, we have a monthly cash budget broken down as follows:

On March 10, 2009, the Company lowered the exercise price of its issued and outstanding Class A, C, D, E and F Warrants to an exercise price of $.03 per share on a temporary basis until the close of business on March 20, 2009, which was later extended to March 30, 2009 (the “Warrant Reduction Period”). Subsequent to that date, the exercise price of the




17





aforementioned classes of Warrants reverted to $.10 per share. During the Warrant Reduction Period, none of these Warrants were exercised. During the Warrant Reduction Period, the holders of certain outstanding Senior convertible securities originally issued on December 2, 2004 granted BlastGard an extension of the due date of their notes until the close of business on November 30, 2009, in exchange for the issuance of Class G Warrants to purchase 1,800,000 restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company. Contemporaneously, certain other person(s) were assigned these Warrants and sold one-half of their $372,000 of outstanding principal of the notes and related security agreements and guarantees at a purchase price of about $186,000. Each Class G Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $.03 per share through the close of business on June 22, 2011. Since March 2009, the Notes are convertible at $.03 per share. On May 22, 2009, $93,097.25 of the outstanding principal and $387.69 in interest was converted into 3,116,164 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

During the Warrant Reduction Period, the Company cancelled Class A, C, D, E and F Warrants totaling the rights to purchase 11,000,334 shares of the Company’s Common stock and issued an equal number of Class G Warrants in exchange thereof. Currently, the Company has outstanding the following Warrants:

Class of Warrant

 

Number of Warrants Outstanding

Undefined

 

150,000

Class A

 

Class C

 

1,921,500

Class D

Class E

 

162,000

Class F

 

2,097,620

Class G

 

12,800,334


All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the aforementioned Warrants contain an appropriate restrictive legend. Exemption from registration for the issuance of the Class G Warrants as replacement Warrants and 3,116,164 shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes were exempt under Section 3a(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The issuance of 1,800,000 Warrants to the Senior convertible debt holders was exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

The Board of Directors approved the issuance of 3,000,000 restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company at a purchase price of $.03 per share ($90,000 in the aggregate). Mr. McKinnon, the Company’s then CEO, purchased the shares via a Subscription Agreement.  Approximately $1,200 of the subscription price was paid in exchange for services rendered and the balance of the subscription price was paid in cash. The issuance of 3,000,000 shares to Mr. Mckinnon was exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Registration Statements

Our recent debt and equity financings are described above. We have in the past and currently relied principally on external financing to maintain our company as a going concern. All of our assets have been used as collateral to secure our indebtedness. Among the many risks of our business and an investment in our company, is the possibility that we will not be able to meet our obligations as they come due and remain as a going concern. We have also agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale by the holders of the June 2006 debt, the number of shares of common stock issuable to them upon conversion of their notes and exercise of their warrants (the obligation to the holders of the June 2006 Debt are collectively referred to as the “Registrable Securities”), as well as to register for resale by Source Capital (and its transferees) and the holders of the December 2004 debt, the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of their warrants.  In September 2006, we obtained an effective registration statement pertaining to (i) a portion of the Registrable Securities, including the (x) shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the June 2006 Debt based upon a conversion price of $.75 per share and (y) warrant shares underlying the (x) Class C and Class F Warrants held by the holders of the June 2006 Debt and (ii) all shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by Source Capital (and its transferees).  In September 2006, an amended agreement was entered into by and among the Company and the holders of the June 2006 Debt. This amendment requires us to register with the SEC the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Class D and Class E Warrants and an additional 30% of the original Registrable Securities (as defined) upon receipt, in writing, of a written demand from such persons holding at least 51% of the outstanding Registrable Securities. To date, no such written demand has been received by us. Our original Registration Rights Agreement with the holders of the 2006 Debt (except as otherwise amended) requires us to maintain an effective Registration Statement pertaining to all Registrable




18





Securities until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, or may be sold, without volume restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”). If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 90% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then we are required to file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the 30th day following the date on which we first know, or should reasonably have known, that such additional Registration Statement is required, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the holders of not less than 130% of the number of such Registrable Securities. The agreement further provides that we may require each selling holder of Registrable Securities to furnish us a certified statement as to the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each holder and that during any period that we are unable to meet our obligations under the Registration Statement for the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any holder fails to furnish us information within three trading days of our request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time to such selling holder only shall be tolled and that any event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such holder only, until such information is delivered to us.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During the past two years, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, FSAS No. 161, FSAS No. 162, FSAS No. 163, FSAS No. 164, FSAS No. 165, FSAS No. 166, FSAS No. 167 and FSAS No. 168 and FIN 48 which are described in Note 1, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of the Notes to Financial Statements contained in our latest annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Security and Exchange commission on April 14, 2009. Reference is made to these recent accounting pronouncements as if they are set forth therein in their entirety.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at the end of our most recent quarter. There have been no changes in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or in other factors that could affect the disclosure controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation. Therefore, no corrective actions were taken.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

On September 12, 2005, we were served with a lawsuit that was filed in the Second Judicial District Court in Washoe County, Nevada as case number CV-05-02072 (the “Nevada Action”). The plaintiff in the lawsuit was Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership. The lawsuit makes a variety of claims and contends that BlastGard and certain officers of BlastGard misappropriated certain technology, including two patents, and seeks damage “in excess of $10,000”. The action was removed to federal court in Nevada. We filed a motion to have the case dismissed as to BlastGard International, Inc., and all other defendants, for lack of personal jurisdiction. There was also a motion for a more definite statement in that three of the claims by Verde are conclusory, vague and ambiguous.

On July 14, 2006, the United States District Court rendered its decision in the Nevada Action. It was ordered and adjudged that the motion to dismiss the individual defendants and the motion to dismiss the BlastGard defendants was granted. Defendants’ motion for a more definite statement is moot. The Court entered judgment on July 17, 2006 in favor of all Defendants and against the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff had 30 days from the date of the judgment to file a notice of appeal and no filing was made.

On July 19, 2006, we filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida. The Defendants in the lawsuit are Sam Gettle, Guy Gettle and Verde Partners Family Limited Partnership (“Verde”). The lawsuit contends that the Defendants have committed defamatory acts against BlastGard International and its products. The lawsuit also asks for a declaration that BlastGard International is not liable for the acts complained of in the Nevada action. On BlastGard’s affirmative claims for defamation, the Florida action seeks injunctive relief and damages in excess of $15,000, exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs. Sam Gettle, Guy Gettle, and Verde counter claimed in the lawsuit alleging the same bad acts complained of in the Nevada action. The counterclaim seeks an award of unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On April 2, 2009, the company entered into a Settlement Agreement to settle our outstanding civil litigation. The company will pay the sum of $125,000 over 18 months. The first monthly payment was paid within 30 days after the Defendants deliver to the Company’s counsel an original executed version of the Agreement and a promissory note in the amount of the remaining principal balance to bear interest in the amount of 6% per annum. Upon Verde’s receipt of the payment and promissory note, the parties shall jointly dismiss with prejudice all litigation between them, including the Pinellas County action and the Federal action. The company and Verde also entered into a license agreement whereby BlastGard obtains a fully paid up non-exclusive license for the 2 Verde patents for the remaining life of those patents in exchange for the Company paying Verde a 2% royalty for the life of the patents, on the sales price received by BlastGard for BlastGard’s portion of all blast mitigation products sold by the company (the royalty is not on any third-party’s portion of any product containing blast mitigation products sold by BlastGard). The parties also agreed not to file any complaints with any state, federal or international agency or disciplinary body regarding any of the other parties or any person affiliated with any of the other parties or otherwise make negative statements about them (in other words, a broad non-disparagement clause). The company and Verde also signed mutual general releases (excepting the obligations above) and a covenant not to sue.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

As a  Smaller Reporting Company as defined Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item 1A.
