Each prospective investor is urged to carefully read this Prospectus and its Exhibits in their entirety including but not limited to the risk factors. MachineTalker, Inc. MachineTalker, Inc. ("MTI" or "we") is a Delaware corporation formed in January 2002 to engage in the business of developing and marketing a wireless control technology. Our patent pending technology allows governments, businesses, and individuals to deploy wireless security systems rapidly to protect and monitor things, places, and people. Most current security systems are static and rely on centralized control over various types of detectors or nodes. In contrast, MachineTalkers(R), which consist of powerful microprocessors with on-board sensors, detectors, readers or actuators, and wireless radios, bring data processing intelligence to the local level, creating a "smart" security system. The security system is "smart" in that its microprocessors are autonomous and can process sensor data in real-time, make local decisions, and take local action in response to a situation. Management believes that other security systems do not use microprocessors in this way and consist of components which cannot act on their own to make decisions. Talkers(R) automatically form an ad hoc wireless mesh network, creating intelligent nodes each capable of processing data in real-time and on a local basis. Once formed, a small community of Talkers(R) can operate independently or collectively to assess local conditions or events and take action accordingly. These cooperating Talkers(R) form redundant and self-healing networks in case of failure; and, one or more individual units can be connected to modems for wireless communication outside of the local community by way of the Internet. Talkers(R) can be used in a variety of applications. Customer applications for Talkers(R) include placing Talkers(R) within shipping containers to provide for tracking and security, and placing Talkers(R) on-board small aircraft to gather and report data to share with adjacent aircraft and ground stations. In general, potential commercial applications include sensors that can monitor location and environmental conditions, report its findings on a real time basis, and adjust environmental conditions autonomously. We cannot assure that we will be successful in marketing our wireless control technology. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6. Since inception we have primarily funded the development and promotion of our wireless control technology and resulting product line through the sale of shares of our common stock in a series of private placements made pursuant to I-3 Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and through loans made to us by one of our founders. While we made our first sales of product and services in 2004, these sales were not sufficient to cover all expenditures for product development and marketing, resulting in a net loss since inception through June 30, 2005 of $2,274,478, of which $394,115 was incurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, $573,454 was incurred during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, $305,601 was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2005, and $148,708 was incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2005. As a result of our operating losses in the current period as well as prior years and our accumulated deficit, our auditors have raised a concern as to our ability to continue as a going concern. While we believe that we will be able to continue as a going concern by making additional sales of product and services and by securing additional or alternative financing, if necessary, we cannot assure that we will be successful in our efforts. Our executive offices are located 513 De La Vina Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101 and our telephone number is (805) 957-1680. Our Internet address is www.machinetalker.com. Information contained on our World Wide Web site is not deemed to be a part of this Prospectus. We have concurrently applied to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Selling Securityholders Our Selling Securityholders are offering for sale up to 73,367,050 shares of our common stock, which they previously purchased or were issued for services rendered to us. See "Selling Securityholders" and "Plan of Distribution." The Shares are being registered for a total of 134 shareholders who paid $0.025 per Share and $0.10 per Share for total cash consideration of $2,060,000, and one shareholder who received Shares for services rendered.

I-5 RISK FACTORS Purchasing shares of MTI's common stock ("Common Stock") is risky. You should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider the following factors, among others. WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND, THEREFORE, CANNOT ASSURE THE ACCEPTANCE OF OUR SMART SECURITY NETWORK TECHNOLOGY. MTI was recently formed and has a limited operating history. We only recently commenced selling our wireless control smart security system and have made only two sales as of the date of this Prospectus. We made our first sale to NASA in July 2004 for an aircraft tracking trial application and our other sale to Kellogg, Brown & Root in December 2004 for a shipping container trial application. As of June 30, 2005, we have received revenue of $40,000 from NASA and have billed $500,000 to Kellogg, Brown & Root, $440,000 of which we have received. MTI cannot assure at this time that we will operate profitably or that we will have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they become due. We believe that our success will depend in large part on governmental, industry, and public acceptance of our smart security network technology as a credible tool for protecting and monitoring things, places, and people. We intend to invest heavily in completing development of and enhancing our smart security network technology. As a result, we may incur operating losses. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT TALKERS(R) SALES WILL LEAD TO PROFITABILITY. Our business is speculative and dependent upon the acceptance of our smart security network technology and the effectiveness of our marketing program to convince the government, business, and the public to utilize our Talkers(R) so that MTI will become profitable. We cannot assure that government, business, or the public will accept our Talkers(R) or that MTI will earn any revenues or profit. We cannot assure that we will earn any revenues or that investors will not lose their entire investment. IF WE FAIL TO COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR SMART SECURITY NETWORK TECHNOLOGY, OUR BUSINESS WILL NOT BECOME PROFITABLE. Research and development projects are inherently speculative and subject to cost overruns. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete development of our smart security network technology, or that, once developed, smart security network components can be sold profitably. We may not develop any new products or services for sale from our research and development efforts. I-6 OUR FAILURE TO OBTAIN NEW TRADEMARKS OR PROTECT OUR EXISTING TRADEMARKS MAY MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. Although we have been issued four service/trademarks for certain products and services, we have also recently filed seven additional applications with the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks for which we have not yet been issued service marks or trademarks. We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining the service marks or trademarks, that these applications will not be challenged, that others will not attempt to infringe upon our marks, or that these marks will afford us any protection or competitive advantages. If we are unable to protect our rights to our trademarks or if such marks infringe on the rights of others, our business could be materially adversely affected. IF WE ARE NOT GRANTED A PATENT OR OTHER PROTECTION TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM DEPLOYING COMPETING PRODUCTS. CONVERSELY, OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN GRANTED PATENTS OR OTHER PROTECTION MAY BE ABLE TO PREVENT US FROM DEPLOYING OUR PRODUCTS. Our business plan contemplates that we will have a significant market advantage because of the proprietary nature of our smart security network technology. We have filed for patent protection to protect our proprietary rights. We have not yet been granted a patent for our smart security network technology although we have produced working products for our customers that utilize the features in our patent application. If we do not receive patent protection for our technology, larger companies with greater resources than MTI may copy our products which would hurt our ability to compete in the marketplace. Additionally, we cannot assure that other companies may not challenge our legal right to utilize the technology, claiming that such use is an infringement of their patents, copyrights, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights which could prevent us from deploying our products. Furthermore, we may not have the resources to defend against such a challenge. We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain patents for our products or services. OUR INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND COMPETITIVE PRESSURES COULD PREVENT US FROM COMPETING SUCCESSFULLY IN THE SECURITY PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS INDUSTRY. The security products and systems industry in which we compete is extremely competitive. Our principal competitors include Savi Technology and companies which have products for remote, wireless sensing. These competitors may have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases, and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than MTI. MTI believes that the principal factors affecting competition in this market include name recognition, United States Government mandates, and consumer confidence. Our ability to compete successfully in the security products systems industry depends in large part upon our ability to market our wireless control smart security system and to respond effectively to changing technology. We I-7 cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully in the security products and systems industry, or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. See "MachineTalker, Inc. - Competition." AS OF THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS WE HAVE ONLY ONE CUSTOMER AND OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER IF WE LOSE THIS CUSTOMER. Management anticipates that we will earn most of our revenue for the foreseeable future from our existing customer, Kellogg, Brown & Root. If Kellogg, Brown & Root terminates its relationship with us, ceases to conduct business or defaults on payments to us, our financial condition will be adversely affected. Our agreement with Kellogg, Brown & Root, except for the software license agreement component, expired in July 2005 and by change order was extended to September 1, 2005. Although Kellogg, Brown & Root has orally agreed to extend the term of the agreement again for a period to be determined, we cannot assure if or for how long the agreement will actually be extended. Furthermore, pursuant to the software license agreement, Kellogg, Brown & Root has a right of first refusal to participate with us in the sale of our Talkers(R) for use in the area of tracking of inventory, containers, and similar packages during the term of the software license agreement, which ends in December 2009. This right of first refusal could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Although we plan to pursue agreements with other potential customers, we cannot guarantee that we will successfully obtain additional customers. OUR FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS MODEL WILL CAUSE US TO INCUR SUBSTANTIAL OPERATING LOSSES. Our business model is predicated on our ability to sell smart security network devices, based on our proprietary technology. We anticipate that we will incur substantial operating losses until we are able to generate revenue from the sale of these products. We cannot assure that businesses, government, or the public will adopt our products and technology in the volume that we project, or that businesses, government, and other prospective customers will agree to pay the prices that we propose to charge. In the event our customers resist paying the prices projected in our business plan, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. OUR FAILURE TO ACHIEVE BRAND RECOGNITION FOR MACHINETALKERS(R) COULD ADVERSELY EFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS. We believe that establishing and maintaining brand recognition for our smart security network technology is a critical aspect of our efforts to attract and expand our customer base. Promotion and enhancement of the MachineTalker(R) brand will depend largely on our success in providing high quality products and services. In order to attract and retain customers and to promote the MachineTalker(R) brand in response to competitive pressures, we may find it necessary to increase substantially our financial commitment to creating and I-8 maintaining the MachineTalker(R) brand. We cannot assure that we will obtain brand recognition for MachineTalker(R). Our failure to provide high quality services and products or to obtain and maintain brand recognition could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESPOND TO CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY RAPIDLY, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY IN THE SECURITY PRODUCT AND SYSTEMS INDUSTRY. Wireless control is a rapidly evolving technology. To be successful we believe that we must be able to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. To do so, we must continually improve the performance, features, and reliability of our wireless control products. We cannot assure that will be able to utilize new technologies effectively or successfully or adapt our products in a timely manner to a competitive standard. If we fail to maintain a competitive level of technological expertise or are unable to adapt in a timely manner to changing technology, market conditions, or customer requirements, we will not be able to compete in our market successfully. OUR LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION MAY MAKE US MORE VULNERABLE TO ECONOMIC FLUCTUATIONS WITHIN OUR INDUSTRY. Because we have limited financial resources, we will unlikely be able to diversify our operations. Our inability to diversify our activities into more than one area will subject us to economic fluctuations within the particular industry in which we operate and therefore increase the risks associated with our operations. OUR AUDITORS HAVE INCLUDED A GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION IN THEIR OPINION. Our auditors have qualified their opinion to our financial statements because of concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. These concerns arise from the fact that we have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and that we must raise additional capital in order to continue to operate our business. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you could lose your entire investment in us. WE ARE SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS REGULATIONS AFFECTING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION AND SECURITY BUSINESSES. IF WE ARE REQUIRED TO INCUR COMPLIANCE OR REMEDIATION COSTS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED OUR OPERATING RESULTS COULD BE HURT. Our business is subject to various federal, state, and local laws affecting wireless communication and security businesses. The Federal Trade I-9 Commission and equivalent state agencies regulate advertising and representations made by businesses in the sale of their products, which apply to us. Our business is also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general. Failure of MTI to comply with applicable government rules or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business operations. THE COSTS INCURRED BY US TO DEVELOP, ENHANCE, AND MARKET OUR SMART SECURITY NETWORK TECHNOLOGY MAY BE HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED WHICH COULD HURT OUR ABILITY TO EARN A PROFIT. We may incur substantial cost overruns in the development, enhancement, and marketing of our smart security network technology. Such unanticipated costs may force us to obtain additional capital or financing from other sources, or may cause us to lose our entire investment in our smart security network technology if we are unable to obtain the additional funds necessary. Management is not obligated to contribute capital to MTI. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital to implement our business plan successfully. If a greater investment is required in the business because of cost overruns, the probability of earning a profit or a return of the Shareholders' investment in MTI is diminished. IF WE INCUR LIABILITIES WHICH WE ARE UNABLE TO PAY, SHAREHOLDERS COULD LOSE THEIR INVESTED CAPITAL. MTI may have liabilities to affiliated or unaffiliated lenders. These liabilities would represent fixed costs which would be required to be paid regardless of the level of business or profitability experienced by us. We cannot assure that we will be able to pay all of our liabilities. Furthermore, we are always subject to the risk of litigation from licensees, suppliers, employees, and others because of the nature of our business. Litigation can cause us to incur substantial expenses and, if cases are lost, judgments, and awards can add to our costs. OUR SECURITY NETWORK PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MAY NOT BE PROFITABLE. Our business is speculative and dependent upon the development and acceptance of our smart security network products and services. We cannot assure whether we will be successful or that our business will result in revenue or profit, or that we will develop any commercial products. We cannot assure that we will earn significant revenues or that investors will not lose their entire investment. I-10 WE ARE EXPOSED TO VARIOUS POSSIBLE CLAIMS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND OUR INSURANCE MAY NOT FULLY PROTECT US. We cannot assure that we will not incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. We maintain modest theft, casualty, liability, and property insurance coverage, along with workmen's compensation and related insurance. However, should uninsured losses occur, the Shareholders could lose their invested capital. OUR FAILURE TO MEET OUR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS COULD SUBJECT OUR BUSINESS TO LIENS. Although our assets have never been subject to liens because we have always paid for materials and services on a timely basis and intend to continue to do so, we may encounter unforeseen circumstances in the future. If we fail to pay for materials and services for our business on a timely basis, our assets could be subject to materialmen's and workmen's liens. We may also be subject to bank liens in the event that we default on loans from banks, if any. WE WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING AND MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH CAPITAL TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS. We will not raise capital from this offering. If our entire original capital is fully expended and additional costs cannot be funded from borrowings or capital from other sources, then our financial condition, results of operations and business performance would be materially adversely effected. There is no assurance that we will have adequate capital to conduct our business. THE CONTROL OF MTI BY OUR PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS MAY IMPEDE US FROM ENGAGING IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. As the owners of 113,060,000 shares of MTI's Common Stock, our principal shareholders own approximately 71.10% of our capital stock. Accordingly, our principal shareholders are able to elect a majority of our directors and are in a position to control MTI. Such control by the principal shareholders may have the effect of discouraging certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of MTI. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." IF WE LOSE ANY MEMBER OF OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM AND ARE UNABLE TO FIND A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT, WE MAY NOT HAVE THE DEPTH OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT RESOURCES REQUIRED TO EFFICIENTLY MANAGE OUR BUSINESS AND EXECUTE OUR GROWTH STRATEGY. Under applicable state corporations law and the Bylaws of MTI, the officers and directors of MTI have the power and authority to manage all aspects of MTI's business. Shareholders must be willing to entrust all aspects of MTI's I-11 business to its directors and executive officers. MTI's success is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers and key employees. Given MTI's early stage of development, MTI is dependent on its ability to retain and motivate high quality personnel. Although we believe we will be able to engage qualified personnel for such purposes, an inability to do so could materially adversely affect our ability to develop and market our products. The loss of one or more of our key employees or our inability to hire and retain other qualified employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. See "Directors, Executive Officers, and Controlling Persons." THE RELATIONSHIP OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM AND OUR AFFILIATES TO US COULD CREATE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS. The relationship of management and our affiliates to MTI could create conflicts of interest. While management has a fiduciary duty to MTI, it also determines its compensation from MTI. Management's compensation from MTI has not been determined pursuant to arm's-length negotiation. While management believes that the consideration is fair for the work being performed, there is no assurance that the consideration to management reflects the true market value of its services. WE WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY DELAWARE LAW, WHICH COULD REQUIRE US TO EXPEND CAPITAL OTHERWISE ALLOCATED TO THE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS FOR OUR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors against claims arising from Company activities, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. If we were called upon to perform under our indemnification agreement, then the portion of our assets expended for such purpose would reduce the amount otherwise available for our business. WE DETERMINED THE PRICE OF THE SHARES ARBITRARILY, SO THE PRICE MAY NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT THE TRUE VALUE OF THE SHARES. The offering price of the Shares was arbitrarily determined by us and does not bear any relationship to our assets, results of operations or book value, or to any other historically-based criteria of value. WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING ANY DIVIDENDS ON THE SHARES IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. We do not anticipate that we will pay dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and marketing. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should I-12 therefore not purchase the Shares. We cannot assure that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. IF WE ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR STOCK, SHAREHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION IN THEIR OWNERSHIP OF MTI. We are authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Board of Directors has the authority to cause MTI to issue more shares of Common Stock, and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such stock, without the consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the Shareholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of MTI in the future. IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATION, SHAREHOLDERS MAY EXPERIENCE MORE DIFFICULTY SELLING THEIR SHARES. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by certain rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $3.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The rules require that a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in connection with the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. If, as expected, our securities become subject to the penny stock rules, purchasers of the Shares may find it more difficult to sell their securities. FRAUD AND ABUSE HAVE BEEN RAMPANT IN THE MARKET FOR PENNY STOCKS IN RECENT YEARS, SO SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS. We want Shareholders to be aware that the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive I-13 and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. We will not be able to control any of such patterns. Cautionary Statements This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the risk factors below and elsewhere in this Prospectus. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ from projections include, for example: o adverse economic conditions, o volatility and/or decline of MTI's stock price, o potential fluctuation in quarterly results, o intense competition, including entry of new competitors and products, o changes in demand for MTI's smart security network products and services, o insufficient revenues to cover operating costs, o intense competition, including entry of new competitors, o increased or adverse federal, state and local government regulation, o inadequate capital, o unexpected costs, o lower revenues and net income than forecast, o price increases for supplies, o inability to raise prices, o failure to protect our proprietary rights or challenges to our rights to our technology o the risk of litigation and administrative proceedings involving MTI and its employees, o higher than anticipated labor costs, I-14 o the possible fluctuation and volatility of MTI's operating results and financial condition, o adverse publicity and news coverage, o inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, o loss of key executives, changes in interest rates, inflationary factors, and o other specific risks that may be alluded to in this Prospectus or in other reports issued by MTI. MTI does not promise to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions or other factors that could affect those statements. USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive the proceeds of sales of Shares by Selling Securityholders. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock. The initial public offering price has been determined by us and may not be indicative of the market price of the Common Stock following this offering. Among the factors we considered in our determination were prevailing market conditions, certain financial information of MTI, market valuations of other companies that we believe to be comparable to us, estimates of our business potential, the present state of our development, and other factors deemed relevant. CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2005 the capitalization of MTI. As of June 30, 2005 (Unaudited)(1) Indebtedness: Long-term indebtedness......................... $ 436,000(2) Stockholders' Equity: Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share 500,000,000 shares authorized, 159,017,050 issued and outstanding (3)........................... $2,364,919 Retained Earnings (Deficit).................... ($2,274,478) ------------- Total Shareholders' Equity (Deficit)........... $ 90,441 ------------- Total Capitalization........................... $ 526,441 ============= -------------------- I-15 (1) See "Financial Statements." (2) Reflects a related party debt owed by us to Roland Bryan, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, bearing simple interest at 6% per annum and due July 2009, payable interest only annually, and convertible into 17,440,000 shares of our Common Stock at any time. (3) Reflects the ten for one forward split of our Common Stock which became effective on September 7, 2004. Does not include the exercise of any outstanding stock options or warrants. DILUTION The difference between the public offering price per share of Common Stock and the net tangible book value per share of Common Stock constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net tangible book value is determined by dividing the net tangible book value (stockholders' equity adjusted for the retained earnings (deficit)) by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of June 30, 2005, the net tangible book value of MTI was $90,441 or approximately $0.00057 per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share consists of stockholders' equity adjusted for the retained earnings (deficit), divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. As of June 30, 2005, the purchasers of Common Stock will incur an immediate dilution of approximately $0.09943 per share from the purchase price. Furthermore, without giving effect to any changes in the net tangible book value of MTI after June 30, 2005, other than to give effect to the exercise of 7,000,000 common stock options at an exercise price of $.05 per share, 1,000,000 common stock options at an exercise price of $0.025 per share, 3,292,000 common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.025 per share, and 785,000 common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, the pro forma net tangible book value on a fully diluted basis at June 30, 2005, would have been $1,152,682 or approximately $0.0067 per share. As of June 30, 2005, the purchasers of Common Stock will incur an immediate dilution on a fully diluted basis of approximately $0.0933 per share from the purchase price. "Dilution" means the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering. Holders of Common Stock may be subjected to additional dilution if any additional securities are issued as compensation or to raise additional financing. The following table illustrates the dilution which purchasers of Shares will incur and the benefit to current stockholders as a result of this offering: Actual(1) Fully Diluted Basis(1)(2) ----------- ------------- Price per share................................. $ 0.10 $ 0.10 Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2005............................ $ 0.00057 $ 0.0067 Dilution per share to new investors............. $ 0.09943 $ 0.0933 ----------------------- I-16 (1) Assumes that all 73,367,050 shares of Common Stock are sold. (2) Assumes that 7,000,000 common stock options are exercised at $0.05 per share, 1,000,000 common stock options are exercised at $0.025 per share, 3,292,000 common stock purchase warrants are exercised at $0.025 per share, and 785,000 common stock purchase warrants are exercised at $0.10 per share. SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS The following table sets forth the names of the Selling Securityholders, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Securityholder as of September 15, 2005, and the number of Shares being offered by each Selling Securityholder.

I-20 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the Selling Securityholders or by pledgee, donees or transferees of, or successors in interest to, the Selling Securityholder, directly to one or more purchasers (including pledgees) or through brokers, dealers or underwriters who may act solely as agents or who may acquire Shares as principals, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the Shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods: (i) ordinary brokers transactions, which may include long or short sales, (ii) purchases by brokers, dealers or underwriters as principal and resale by such purchasers for their own accounts pursuant to this Prospectus, (iii) "at the market" to or through market makers or into an existing market for the Common Stock, (iv) in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents, (v) through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise), or (vi) any combination of the foregoing, or by any other legally available means. In addition, the Selling Securityholders may enter hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales of Shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers that require delivery by such broker-dealers of the Shares, which Shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this Prospectus. Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the Shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholders or the purchasers of Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commission). Any broker-dealer acting in connection with the sale of the Shares hereunder may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale of Shares as principals may be deemed underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. Neither the Company nor any Selling Securityholder can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. The Company knows of no existing arrangements between any Selling Securityholder and any such stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the Shares. Each Selling Securityholder and any other person participating in a distribution of securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and its rules and regulations, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities by the Selling Securityholders and other persons participating in a distribution of securities. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specific period of time prior to the commencement of such distribution, subject to specified exceptions. These rules may affect the marketability of the securities offered by this Prospectus. I-21 Any securities covered by this Prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under that Rule rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. There can be no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell any of the Shares of Common Stock offered by them under this Prospectus.

The Option Plan is currently administered by the Board of Directors which has the authority to determine optionees, the number of shares covered by each option, the type of option (i.e., incentive or nonstatutory), the applicable vesting schedule, the exercise price, the method of payment and certain other option terms. The Board of Directors from time to time, in its absolute discretion, may also (a) award Restricted Stock (in lieu of Options) to employees of, consultants to, and directors of MTI and (b) permit Option holders to exercise their Options prior to full vesting and hold the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Option as Restricted Stock. The exercise price of an option granted under the Option Plan may not be less than 100%, in the case of an incentive stock option, but may be may be less than, equal to or greater than 100%, in the case of a nonstatutory stock option, of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of the option grant. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the stock subject to incentive stock options that become exercisable for the first time during any one calendar year exceeds $100,000 (as determined at the grant date) plus fifty percent (50%) of any unused limit carryover from prior years, the options in excess of such limit shall be treated as nonstatutory stock options. Options may be granted under the Option Plan for terms of up to ten years and will typically be exercisable in installments in accordance with a vesting schedule approved by the Board of Directors at the time an option is granted. Options are not transferable other than upon death or between spouses incident to divorce. Options may be exercised at various periods up to 180 days after the death of the optionee or up to 90 days after the termination of employment of the optionee not for "cause," as that term in defined in the Option Plan, to the extent the option was then exercisable. To date we have granted a total of 8,000,000 incentive stock options to employees of MTI, all of which vest as follows: 25% on the Vesting Commencement Date, as defined in each stock option agreement, and 1/36 every 30 days thereafter until the remaining Options have vested. These Options are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant and 7,000,000 are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.05 per share and 1,000,000 are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.025 per share. We are generally permitted to issue additional shares of our capital stock with the approval of our Board of Directors and without the consent of MTI's shareholders. No such options have been issued or granted to our executive officers. I-25 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION Under Delaware General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care." This provision does not apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence. The effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of MTI and our stockholders (through stockholder's derivative suits on behalf of MTI) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (vi) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of MTI or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that if Delaware law is amended to authorize the future elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the law, as amended. Delaware General Corporation Law grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law. Our Bylaws provide for indemnification of such persons to the full extent allowable under applicable law. These provisions will not alter the liability of the directors under federal securities laws. We intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of MTI, arising out of such person's services as a director or officer of MTI, any subsidiary of MTI or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of MTI. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. I-26 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling MTI pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT GENERAL The following table lists the security ownership of management and stockholders of MTI who beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding stock of MTI and their respective holdings of Common Stock in MTI as of September 15, 2005. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities, subject to community property laws, where applicable. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 159,017,050 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 15, 2005.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation in Glendale, California is our Transfer Agent and Registrar. I-30 MACHINETALKER, INC. GENERAL MachineTalker, Inc. ("MTI" or "we") is a Delaware corporation formed to engage in the business of developing and marketing a wireless control technology. From inception until mid 2004, we focused our operations on the development of our wireless control technology. We made our first sales of product and services in 2004. These sales, however, were not sufficient to cover all expenditures for product development and marketing, resulting in a net loss since inception through June 30, 2005 of $2,274,478. While we are currently shifting the focus of our operations from developing new products to marketing and selling our existing products, we cannot assure that we will be successful in our efforts. Our new smart security network technology allows governments, businesses, and individuals to deploy wireless security systems rapidly to protect and monitor things, places, and people. Current security systems are static and rely on centralized control over various types of detectors or nodes. Without independent intelligence and a way to communicate with one another, individual security nodes are unable to carry out functions or overcome failure at the local level. Our technology allows security systems to become dynamic by creating "smart" security networks at the local level. The remote and wireless devices developed by us ("MachineTalkers" or "Talkers") contain powerful microprocessors, on-board sensors, detectors, readers or actuators, and wireless radios. Talkers(R) automatically form an ad hoc wireless mesh network, creating intelligent nodes, each capable of processing data in real-time and on a local basis. Once formed, a small community of Talkers(R) operate independently or collectively to assess local conditions or events and take action accordingly. These cooperating Talkers(R) form redundant and self-healing networks in case of failure. One or more individual units can be connected to modems for wireless communication outside of the local community by way of the Internet. Talkers(R) can be used in a variety of applications. We recently developed a trial application for a customer who needed a way to track and maintain the security of numerous shipping containers. Talkers(R) were placed within the shipping containers enabling the customer to track the location of each container and to confirm their safety. We also developed a trial application for a customer who sought a way to relay information among small aircraft and ground stations. Talkers(R) were placed on-board small aircraft to gather and report data to share with adjacent aircraft and ground stations. With the implementation of our special display software, tracking of Talkers(R) can be viewed on personal computers, laptops and PDAs. We continue to demonstrate our products at trade shows and to potential customers. I-31 HISTORY MTI was formed in January 2002 by Roland F. Bryan, Christopher T. Kleveland and Mark P. Harris. Our founders are also shareholders of SecureCoin, Inc. ("SecureCoin"). As part of our initial capitalization, our founders contributed certain intellectual property that was developed at and purchased from SecureCoin. SecureCoin assigned all rights to that intellectual property to Messrs. Bryan, Kleveland and Harris in January 2002, and those co-founders then contributed the intellectual property rights to us in connection with our formation. This intellectual property forms the core of our proprietary smart security network technology that allow governments, businesses and individuals to rapidly deploy wireless security systems to protect and monitor things, places and people. Talkers(R) are designed to track the whereabouts and status of the objects into which they are placed. Talkers(R) can be grouped in small clusters or "communities" and can be programmed to sense, record, process, and act upon specified events based upon a customer's specific needs. Once programmed, Talkers(R) are placed into the objects the customer desires to track. Talkers(R) then monitor and report activity as programmed to each other and to the customer via the Internet. For example, Talkers(R) placed inside shipping containers can be programmed to monitor and report activity concerning the tracking and security of the shipping containers and their cargo in transit, including loading and unloading freight manifests. The information can then be exchanged with the trucks onto which the containers are being transported. Shortly after our formation in 2002, we voluntarily elected to become a reporting company and filed a Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We subsequently determined not to register any of our stock and depleted most of our financial resources on the development of our products. Lacking the capital we needed to prepare and file annual, quarterly, and current reports, we filed a Form 15 in 2004 to terminate our reporting obligations. THE NEED FOR THE SIMPLE MACHINE MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL(R)(SMMP) During the 1970s and early 1980s, a revolution of sorts came about which led to what we now know as the Internet. An important development that made this possible was the establishment of standards, rules, and shared languages, which allowed computers to "talk" to each other. Because of these "protocol" standards, computer interconnectivity exploded and the Internet was put to use in ways that were previously unimaginable. MTI believes that today, the same environment for change exists in the world of non-computer entities. Many people can envision a future where almost everything communicates for a useful purpose. Already, our car keys deliver wireless commands to their car door locks and our airbags talk to the emergency desk of the car manufacturer's network. Networking of such devices today is limited in the same way that computer networking was limited before universal connectivity made the Internet possible. As in the case of the Internet, we believe that all this will change I-32 once a simple, smart, flexible, and inexpensive communication platform is introduced that will enable most things able to talk to each other. Our management team believes the platform will be the MachineTalker(R) infused with a new standard language, the Simple Machine Management Protocol ("SMMP"). SMMP(R) provides MachineTalkers(R) with unique characteristics, including: 1 A MachineTalker(R)with SMMP(R)can be instructed to represent or be proxy for any entity to which it is attached. 2 A MachineTalker(R) records and maintains a profile of that entity and shares that profile with other MachineTalker(R) members of its local community. 3 A MachineTalker(R)automatically forms an ad hoc mesh network with its peers and they keep track of each other and share in processing information. 4 The SMMP(R) operating system provides for peer-to-peer control, power management to prolong battery life and a simplified API for ease in programming new applications. PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY GENERAL. Information passed to and from local or remote nodes and a centralized control facility is similar to the central computer/dumb terminal installations of the pre-Internet era. Like those early hard-wired systems that required every action to be processed centrally, today's security systems are severely handicapped to meet the increasing demands of information distribution and local control. We believe that we have solved this problem by moving much of the processing now located at the central control site to inexpensive MachineTalkers(R) that serve as intelligent proxies for sensor, detectors, readers, or actuators. These Talkers(R) can make decisions based upon information provided by their local attachments or by their networked "peers." Each MachineTalker(R) can be set up to perform diagnostics and to transmit status reports on itself and on other members of its "community." Like the Internet revolution, we believe that the MachineTalker(R) revolution will be driven by a change in networking technology. MachineTalkers(R) are managed by the SMMP(R) that forms the basis for the ad hoc wireless network and the peer-to-peer relationships. AUTOMATIC NETWORK CONFIGURATION (ANC(TM)). The significant advantage of wireless networking is the ability to bring new nodes on-line without plugging in cables or physically reconfiguring a local network. This advantage dovetails with the MachineTalker(R) concept of Automatic Network Configuration ("ANC(TM)"), whereby the addition of a new "Talker(R)" to a community of Talkers(R) will happen simply by powering it up or coming into the sphere of the I-33 "community." This means that a number of sensing devices, made "intelligent" by attachment to MachineTalkers(R), can be moved, or supplemented in the field without having to connect them because they will automatically become absorbed as a member of a local community of sensors. In practical terms, service personnel can add new types of sensors or replace failed sensors without having to interrupt network operation. We believe that the foregoing benefits will justify the deployment of the MachineTalker(R) technology by our target customer base. Once adopted however, we believe that the real value of MachineTalker(R) technology lies in the vast potential that is unlocked as these networked entities or sensors acquire and share intelligence and knowledge amongst themselves in a decentralized and flexible model. PATENT APPLICATION. Application No. 20040114557 for a United States patent in the names of Roland F. Bryan, Mark P. Harris, and Christopher T. Kleveland and assigned to MTI entitled "Self Coordinated Machine Network" was filed on April 23, 2002, by our former intellectual property counsel, Lyon & Lyon, LLP. Earlier this year, we contacted our patent examiner who permitted us to amend our application to include additional claims. We filed an amended patent application in May 2005 and are waiting to receive the first office action from our examiner. At this time we cannot predict when or if we will be granted a patent for our "Self Coordinated Machine Network." ABSTRACT OF THE PATENT DISCLOSURE. A self coordinated machine network is established by two or more machines in proximity with each other via a wired or wireless network infrastructure. The machines are configured to establish an ad hoc network between them for sharing information related to their common applications. New machines that come into proximity of the network infrastructure are automatically configured to join an existing ad hoc network. Machines that power down or are removed from proximity of the network infrastructure are eliminated from the ad hoc network. Communications between the constituent machines of the ad hoc network allow the machines to self coordinate the network and redundantly store information pertaining to the common and disparate applications of the various machines that comprise the self coordinated machine network. The same is the case for the internal components that make up the machine; in that self-contained subassemblies that take action in response to stimulus or change in status, like keyboards, card readers, bill changers and electronic devices, can be similarly self coordinated with the addition to each sub-assembly of the present invention; whereby cabling between such sub-assemblies is minimized or even eliminated by use of the wireless version of the present invention. PRODUCTS We currently offer several smart security network components for rapidly deploying wireless security systems, including: MACHINETALKER(R). MachineTalker(R) is a high performance unit for applications requiring extensive local processing and/or gateway connections to higher level networks (such as Internet, Ethernet, 802.11 and WiFi). I-34 MINITALKER(R). MiniTalker(R) is similar in functionality to the MachineTalker(R), but has lower performance levels, reduced size, and lower power consumption. As an option, this unit may include on-board sensors for a particular application. TAGTALKER(TM). TagTalker(TM) is an ultra low power, very low cost unit for applications requiring limited local processing. TOUGHTALKERS(TM). ToughTalker(TM) is a more rugged version of MiniTalker(R) and is designed for use in harsh, industrial environments where it must operate more reliably through shock and vibration, such as inside shipping containers. CONTAINERTRACKER(TM). We recently completed development of a demonstration software program to support ToughTalkers(TM) which have been placed aboard a community of shipping containers. The demonstration software enables a user to monitor the containers and control interaction with on-board Talkers(R). The ContainerTracker(TM) software includes the ability to create, insert, and read-back a freight manifest that shows what has been loaded within a container, from where the container came, and to where the container is supposed to go. The manifest can also be accessed by a hand-held personal digital assistant when a container is encountered in the field. ASSETTRACKER(TM). In June 2005, we released AssetTracker(TM), a small portable battery powered roving unit that integrates a ToughTalker(TM) with a Global Positioning System Modem. When an AssetTracker(TM) is plugged into an automobile's cigarette lighter, the devise will send location data over a cellular telephone connection which can then be monitored on the Internet and tracked on a map. Additionally, an AssetTracker(TM) can also feed the connection with information from other Talkers it encounters within its vicinity or community. We are currently testing this devise in Texas with a potential customer. SPECIFICATIONS SMMP(R) OPERATING SYSTEM. All of our MachineTalker(R) products use the SMMP(R) language developed by MTI. SMMP(R) is an operating system and protocol that facilitates the establishment of ad hoc wireless networks. MachineTalker(R) modules maintain profiles of all devices and interchange information to facilitate redundancy, establish network relationships and build autonomous communities of MachineTalkers(R). RADIO TECHNOLOGIES. Our MachineTalker(R) products utilize a modular architecture to meet the requirement of disparate applications, meaning that different types of radios can be used. The MachineTalker(R) demonstration units utilize a single chip RF transceiver operating in the 902-928 MHz ISM band. We are a voting member of the IEEE 802.15.4 Committee, which has introduced a I-35 standard for a low power RF transceiver that utilizes direct sequence, spread spectrum. The 802.15.4 standard is intended to meet the requirements of low power networks in the future, such as MachineTalker(R). Several large semiconductor manufacturers have announced products to fulfill a wide variety of applications. Position Location and high performance can be obtained by our RF transceiver using pulsed spread spectrum techniques. MICROPROCESSOR. The MachineTalker(R) is based on a low power extremely powerful 8-bit RISC processor (Atmel ATmega 128). Depending on the application, the MachineTalker(R) can make use of the on-board Analog-to-Digital Converter ("ADC") and various serial and parallel interfaces. The chip contains 128k of flash memory for program and data storage. LOW POWER OPERATION. Depending on the duty cycle specified for a given application, the MachineTalker(TM)can have a battery life of 2+ years on AA batteries. SENSORS. The MachineTalker(R)can be interfaced to a variety of sensors including micro electro-mechanical systems ("MEMS") and advanced nanotechnology, including: o Temperature o Humidity o Gas (all types) o BioHazard o Pressure o Light Measurement o Magnetometer (compass) o Ultrasonic distance o GPSo Displacement o Gyroscope (MEMS) o Hall Effect (magnetic proximity) o Biometric (Fingerprint) o Accelerometers (vibration, tilt) o Sound Detection o Corrosion Detection o Proximity sensors (human) INTERNET ACCESS. Remote and wireless MachineTalkers(R) with their detectors and sensors are now accessible via the Internet. Using the services of SensorLogic, Inc., a strategic partner which provides access services, all types of activities can be easily monitored in real-time from anywhere in the world. Such access can also be made by attachment of our products to standard personal computers, laptops, and PDAs; all acting as "network gateways." APPLICATIONS FOR MACHINE TALKER SMART SECURITY NETWORK TECHNOLOGY GENERAL. We intend to become a significant part of the electronic architecture of the worldwide security and sensor market. We believe that the United States homeland security market provides us with an attractive opportunity, as well as the market for mobile sensors. We believe that applications for our smart security network technology include the following: I-36 o Transportation Security (land, sea and air) o People Screening o Cargo Security o Container Security o Mail and Mail Room Security o Sensitive Sites and Public Spaces Security o Weapons of Mass Destruction/Disruption o Logistics and Critical Inventory Tracking APPLICATION FOR KELLOGG, BROWN & ROOT. In December 2004, we entered into an agreement with Kellogg, Brown & Root ("KBR"), a division of Halliburton Company, pursuant to which we agreed to develop a solution to enable KBR to track its 600,000 shipping containers on a global basis. Our solution for KBR consisted of equipping each KBR shipping container with a MiniTalker(R) unit programmed with the shipping manifest, source, destination, and other information to identify the individual container when queried. Considering that shipping containers are not usually handled with care and that they generally pass through very harsh environments while in transit, we designed a rugged version of our MiniTalker(R) unit for use in this particular application, referred to as a ToughTalker(TM). In consideration for developing and demonstrating applications software and designing product variations for KBR's intended use, KBR agreed to pay us $300,000, $240,000 of which has been paid in fixed increments as we completed certain milestones for the project. The agreement also contains a five year software license agreement component pursuant to which Kellogg, Brown & Root has the right to use our SMMP(R) software and the right of first refusal to participate with us in the sale of our Talkers(R) in the area of tracking of inventory, containers, and similar packages in consideration for a license fee of $200,000. Kellogg, Brown & Root also had the right under the agreement to purchase up to 250 MiniTalkers(R) at a purchase price of $100 per MiniTalker(R), which it exercised on August 9, 2005. Both parties agreed, however, that due to increased production costs, Kellogg, Brown & Root would purchase 100 MiniTalkers(R) at a purchase price of $250 per MiniTalker(R), for a total of $25,000. Accordingly, the maximum value of the agreement is $525,000. By its terms, the agreement, except for the software license agreement, terminated on July 31, 2005 but has been extended in writing until September 1, 2005 with a further extension contemplated. As of the date of this Prospectus, all deliverable items have been shipped and invoiced to KBR and all payments, except the last payment of $60,000, have been received. With the successful demonstration of the trial application, KBR and we have orally agreed to extend the term of the agreement again for a period to be determined pursuant to which we expect to manufacture and install a large quantity of ToughTalker(TM) units in KBR shipping containers. We cannot assure if or for how long the agreement will actually be extended. NASA PROJECT. In July 2004, we entered into an agreement with NASA through its contracting group at SAIC, pursuant to which we agreed to provide a version of MachineTalker(R) that could be placed in an unmanned aerial vehicle ("UAV") to read multiple sensors (atmospheric pressure, accelerometers, and gyroscopes) and to convey results to other Talkers(R) in nearby UAVs in-flight and on the ground. In consideration for our product, NASA agreed to pay us a total of $55,000, payable in increments as we completed certain milestones. Delivery of the final product was to take place within 22 weeks after the commencement of the agreement. When NASA was unable to provide the equipment necessary for us to complete the project, the agreement was extended for a period of one year. We completed development of the application software and I-37 display software for the ground station on schedule, and shipped the units to NASA for flight testing. As of the date of this Prospectus, NASA has paid us $25,000 and $15,000, respectively, for those deliverables which have been shipped to NASA Langley for testing. Due to staffing changes at NASA, flight testing was postponed until October 2005. Upon completion of flight testing, NASA is scheduled to pay the remaining $15,000 due to us under the agreement. We believe that the NASA test will illustrate how wireless sensors can be placed anywhere inside an airframe, each with the intelligence to make decisions and gather data, without the need to rewire the aircraft. Information can be passed among sites containing the wireless sensors, to nearby aircraft containing wireless sensors, and to ground stations containing wireless sensors. BUSINESS AND REVENUE MODELS Our business strategy is very straight-forward: (1) apply MachineTalker(R) smart security network technology to the $80 billion worldwide security and sensor products and systems market, (2) initially sell MachineTalker(R) devices through channel partners and distributors in this market, and (3) later on, further develop MachineTalker(R) proprietary technology and products for sale to manufacturers and operators of virtually all machines, appliances and devices. Our management believes that most of our revenues will come from the sale of MachineTalker(R) devices. We also plan to earn revenues through licensing of our proprietary technology to equipment manufacturers. MARKETING AND SALES PLAN We compete in worldwide security products and systems market, as well as the market for sensors. The Freedonia Group forecasts that the world market for security products and systems will expand dramatically through 2006, approaching $80 billion, and perhaps double to $160 billion by 2011. Heightened fears of terrorism in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, in tandem with rising conventional crime rates in many countries, is expected to be the major factor driving growth. Also important will be the robust pace of new product development, especially in the electronic security segment. MTI intends to become a significant part of the electronic architecture of the worldwide security products and systems market. MARKETING STRATEGY. Our marketing strategy is to create a favorable environment in which to sell our MachineTalker(R) smart security network devices. We intend to enhance, promote, and support our supposition that the MachineTalker(R) proprietary smart security network technology is the most complete and comprehensive solution available in the marketplace to deploy wireless security and sensor systems rapidly. PRODUCT AND SERVICE DIFFERENTIATION. We believe that the differentiating attributes of the MachineTalker(R) wireless control solution include: I-38 o The only complete smart security system to easily create, deploy and manage local wireless security systems o Dynamic ("smart") networks o Creates communities of wireless sensors via SMMP(TM) o Low cost, easy-to-install wireless components o Designed for diverse types of applications o Highly scalable o Highly reliable VALUE PROPOSITION. Our value proposition is simple: we believe that MachineTalker(R)smart security networks allow governments, businesses and individuals to deploy wireless security systems rapidly to protect people, places and things at a reasonable cost. POSITIONING. We believe that MachineTalker(R) can be positioned as the superior solution for creating, deploying, and managing local wireless security systems. We believe that MachineTalker(R) offers a complete solution that is inexpensive, efficient and scalable. We plan to reposition our competitors by demonstrating that their offerings are inadequate, too costly and not dynamic. SALES STRATEGY. After creating a high level of perceived value and building significant demand for sales through our marketing campaign, we intend to sell our smart security network devices aggressively throughout the United States. If and when we achieve initial success in the domestic marketplace, we plan to expand our sales efforts into the international marketplace. SALES MARGIN STRUCTURE. We believe that the majority of our sales will be derived from channel partners and certified integration partners. As a result, our sales margin structure must be appropriate for these independent organizations. Our proposed margin structure includes: 1. Direct Sales - Full suggested list price. 2. Channel Partners/Certified Integration Partners Sales - 40% off suggested list price. 3. Manufacturer's Representatives - 10% commission. FIELD SALES FORCE. Under our current business model we plan to hire approximately two salespeople who are also experienced engineers ("Sales Engineers"). The majority of our sales efforts are expected to be targeted toward Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") and will be handled internally through these Sales Engineers. MTI has chosen to use Sales Engineers because OEM accounts require considerable customer education and post-sales technical support directly from MTI. Our price points, pricing structure, and profits justify a technical "person-to-person" selling strategy. MANUFACTURERS' REPRESENTATIVES. We can supplement our own field sales force by entering into agreements with manufacturers' representatives. Because manufacturers' representatives carry several product/service lines that are I-39 compatible with our products and services, we plan to select manufacturers' representatives carrying complementary and compatible products and services, as well as manufacturers' representatives that sell dissimilar products and services yet ones that are appropriate to their customers' customer. DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS We plan to sell our smart security network components through several channels of distribution, including the following: DIRECT SALES TO END USERS. Under our current policy we only sell our products directly to end-users when other channels of distribution are unavailable. We anticipate that direct sales will occur most often with smaller customers. CHANNEL PARTNERS AND/OR CERTIFIED INTEGRATION PARTNERS. We plan to identify a number of independent organizations that may serve as channel partners, certified integration partners, or both. These organizations are likely to have well-established relationships with mid-size to large size customers. Many may also provide specific vertical market applications. Our requirements for channel partners and certified integration partners include: established branding, established market segment, solid reputation, high volume transactions and independent marketing and services organizations. COMPETITION The worldwide security products and systems industry in general and the market for security products in particular is highly competitive. Our principal competitors include large scale security companies that have provided container security in the past such as Savi Technology that have OEMs that are trying to do what we are doing. Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger installed customer bases, and substantially greater financial and marketing resources than MTI. Because these other companies use bar code readers and radio frequency identification devices without local intelligence to accomplish security and tracking, management believes that one of the features that will distinguish our security systems from the competition is our ad-hoc local wireless network approach to do tracking and security. Our ability to compete successfully in the security products systems industry depends in large part upon our ability to sell and install our smart security systems and to respond effectively to changing technology. By installing representative products in projects funded by large OEM customers such as KBR, we believe that principal industry leaders will adopt our technology. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully in the security products and systems industry, or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. I-40 GOVERNMENT REGULATION We are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting wireless communication and security businesses. The Federal Trade Commission and equivalent state agencies regulate advertising and representations made by businesses in the sale of their products, which apply to us. Our business is also subject to government laws and regulations governing health, safety, working conditions, employee relations, wrongful termination, wages, taxes and other matters applicable to businesses in general. Failure of MTI to comply with applicable government rules or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business operations. EMPLOYEES As of September 15, 2005, we employed seven people on a full-time basis. Of those seven full-time employees, two are employed in an administrative, marketing, and sales position, and the remaining five are technical employees employed in research, development, and production positions. We project that during the next 12 months, our workforce is likely to increase to 12, with two of the new positions being in administrative, marketing, and sales positions and the remaining three being research, development, and production positions. To support our need for technical staffing, we have established relationships with technical staffing organizations that continuously offer highly qualified personnel to meet our needs, both locally and from out of the area. PROPERTY We currently lease approximately 1,100 square feet of office space at 513 De La Vina Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101 from a company owned by the majority shareholders at a base rental rate of approximately $1,188.64 per month pursuant to a three year lease. The lease term expires on August 20, 2006 with an option to extend the lease term for one year. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We currently own the following registered trademarks and service marks: (i) United States Trademark Registration No. 2848438, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on June 1, 2004 , covering the trademark "TALKER," (ii) United States Trademark Registration No. 2872244, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on August 10, 2004, covering the trademark "SMMP," (iii) United States Trademark Registration No. 2872243, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on August 10, 2004, covering the trademark "MACHINETALKER," (iv) United States Trademark Registration No. 2882375, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on September 7, 2004, covering the trademark "MINITALKER," and (v) United States Trademark I-41 Registration No. 2897704, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on October 26, 2004, covering the trademark "SIMPLE MACHINE MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL" with no claim made to the exclusive right to use "MACHINE MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL" apart from the entire mark. We have also applied for the following additional trademarks and services marks: (i) United States Serial No. 78141481, application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on July 5, 2002, for the trademark "TAGTALKER," (ii) United States Serial No. 78154576, application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on August 15, 2002, for the trademark "TINYTALKER," (iii) United States Serial No. 78389393, application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on March 23, 2004, for the trademark "RFIDNET," (iv) United States Serial No. 78425975, application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on May 27, 2004, for the trademark "SEALTALKER," (v) United States Serial No. 78522694, application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on November 24, 2004, for the trademark "TOUGHTALKER," and (vi) United States Serial No. 78535515, application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on December 20, 2004, for the trademark "TINYTALKER." We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining theses marks, that these applications will not be challenged, that others will not attempt to infringe upon our marks, or that these marks will afford us any protection or competitive advantages. We have not yet been issued these trademarks and service marks. We may file additional trademark and tradename applications with the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks for additional tradenames and trademarks in the future. In April 2002, a Patent Application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") entitled "Self Coordinated Machine Network" application No. 20040114557 was filed, regarding a self coordinated machine network established by two or more machines in proximity with each other via a wired or wireless network infrastructure. The machines are configured to establish an ad hoc network between themselves for sharing information related to their common applications. New machines that come into proximity of the network infrastructure are configured to join an existing ad hoc network. Machines that power down or are removed from proximity of the network infrastructure are eliminated from the ad hoc network. Communications between the constituent machines of the ad hoc network allow the machines to self coordinate the network and redundantly store information pertaining to the common and disparate applications of the various machines that comprise the self coordinated machine network. An assignment of this application to us from the inventors, Bryan F. Roland, Mark P. Harris, and Christopher T. Kleveland was filed with the USPTO on April 23, 2002. All of our employees have executed agreements that impose nondisclosure obligations on the employee and pursuant to which the employee has agreed to assign to us (to the extent permitted by California law) all copyrights and other inventions created by the employee during employment MTI. We have also implemented a trade secret protection policy that management believes to be adequate to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets. I-42 SEASONALITY Our operations are not expected to be affected by seasonal fluctuations, although our cash flow may be affected by fluctuations in the timing of cash receipts from our customers. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. MTI's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 and elsewhere in this Prospectus. OVERVIEW Our institution of more vigorous sales efforts through year ended December 31, 2004 and during the second quarter ended June 30, 2005 are beginning to show results in increasing our revenue for our smart security network components and wireless security systems. Because we were able to obtain small amounts of external equity financing during fiscal year 2004 to date, we were able to hire additional personnel in our sales department. This action is beginning to show positive results as our new sales people enhance their competency with regard to our products and services and familiarize themselves with our operating procedures. In order to accelerate sales growth and product development and marketing, we require additional capital. Our sales efforts through tradeshows and seminars generate leads of potential customers desiring to purchase our smart security network components and wireless security systems. We plan to continue this lead generation on a quarterly basis to add to the total number of leads to which our sales staff can potentially sell our products and services. We believe that the greater the number of leads generated, whether for immediate or long term purchases, the more likely our efforts will eventually create a consistent number of sales for us. The fact that we were able to obtain $1,667,000 in equity financing during fiscal year 2004 through June 30, 2005 has enabled us to hire the additional engineering personnel. In order to accelerate sales growth, product development, and marketing, we will require additional capital through equity financing in the near future. We utilized approximately $851,814 of this capital for additional engineers. We utilized the remaining $815,186 raised by us as follows: $182,390 for marketing costs, $47,997 for legal and accounting fees, $332,914 for research and development, and $251,885 for administrative costs. I-43 Depending on the amount of additional capital available to us, we plan to invest a significant portion of any additional available capital in sales and marketing, manufacturing inventory, and infrastructure. We constantly evaluate the alternative methods to obtaining additional capital on terms most favorable to us. We cannot assure that we will be able to locate sources of capital on terms favorable to us. We currently have seven full time employees as compared to eight employees during 2003. Currently, we employ no part time employees. This change reflects expansion of our Engineering department and reduction of administration. We believe the evolution of our product line and technical OEM sales help to increase adoption of our technology into new fields and applications. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We monitor our estimates on an on-going basis for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. REVENUE RECOGNITION. We recognize revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 104"). We recognize revenue upon shipment, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title, and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. We record revenue net of estimated product returns, which is based upon our return policy, sales agreements, management estimates of potential future product returns related to current period revenue, current economic trends, changes in customer composition and historical experience. We accrue for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on our experience which tells us we have less than $25,000 per year in warranty returns and allowances. Generally, we extend credit to our customers and do not require collateral. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and historic credit losses have been within our expectations. We do not ship a product until we have either a purchase agreement I-44 or rental agreement signed by the customer with a payment arrangement. This is a critical policy, because we want our accounting to show only sales which are "final" with a payment arrangement. We do not make consignment sales, nor inventory sales subject to a "buy back" or return arrangement from customers. Accordingly, original equipment manufacturers do not presently have a right to return unsold products to the Company. We also grant exclusive licenses for the use of the technology required to operate our products. We recognize revenue from software licensing arrangements under SOP 97-2 "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP-98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions." For those contracts that either do not contain a services component or that have services which are not essential to the functionality of any other element of the contract, software license revenue is recognized over the contract period. PROVISION FOR SALES RETURNS, ALLOWANCES AND BAD DEBTS. We maintain a provision for sales allowances, returns and bad debts. Sales returns and allowances result from equipment damaged in delivery or customer dissatisfaction, as provided by agreement. The provision is provided for by reducing gross revenue by a portion of the amount invoiced during the relevant period. The amount of the reduction is estimated based on historical experience. RESERVE FOR OBSOLETE/EXCESS INVENTORY. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We regularly review our inventories and, when required, will record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on factors that may impact the realizable value of our inventory including, but not limited to, technological changes, market demand, regulatory requirements and significant changes in our cost structure. If ultimate usage varies significantly from expected usage, or other factors arise that are significantly different than those anticipated by management, inventory write-downs or increases in reserves may be required. OTHER ACCOUNTING FACTORS The effects of inflation have not had a material impact on our operation, nor are they expected to in the immediate future. Although we are unaware of any major seasonal aspect that would have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operation, the first quarter of each fiscal year is always a financial concern due to slow collections after the holidays. The deposits that are shown in the financials are for pending sales of existing products and not any new patented product. These are deposits received from our customers for sales of equipment and services and are only removed as deposits upon completion of the sale. If for whatever reason a customer order is cancelled, the deposit would be returned as stated in the terms of sale, minus a restocking fee. No depositor is a related party of any officer or employee of MachineTalker, Inc. Our terms of deposits typically are 50% down with the balance of the sale due upon delivery. I-45 CURRENT OVERVIEW RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AS COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 Our annual and quarterly operating results are primarily affected by the level and timing of customer orders, management of cost related to overhead, and timing of expenditures in anticipation of increased sales. This information should be read in conjunction with our annual financial statements. The operating results for any previous quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. REVENUE We are a development stage company with limited revenue. Revenue increased by $148,683, or 100%, to $148,683 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. Revenue increased by $164,683, or 100%, to $164,683 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase in revenue was a result of sequential annualized sales, and new customers. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased by $118,286, or 45.01%, to $144,530 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in G&A expenses was a result of a decrease in marketing services. G&A expenses increased by $33,503, or 11.37%, to $328,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase in G&A expenses was a result of an increase from the prior period in staff salaries of office and clerical personnel $92,727, and professional fees required for public filing of $89,485, which were partially offset by reductions in other categories. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and Development ("R&D") costs increased by $143,971, or 3,526.11%, to $148,054 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. R&D costs increased by $270,784, or 2,504.24%, to $281,597 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase in R&D costs was a result of an increase in staffing of engineers and scientists to work on conceptual formulation, design and testing of product alternatives, and construction of prototypes. NET LOSS Net Loss decreased by $130,590, or 46.76%, to $148,708 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in Net Loss was a result of decreased marketing services and an increase in revenue. Net Loss increased by $125,110, or 38%, to $454,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase in Net Loss was a result of increased G&A expenses and R&D costs. Currently operating costs exceed revenue because sales are not yet significant. We cannot assure when or if revenue will exceed operating costs. I-46 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AS COMPARED TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 REVENUE We are a development stage company with limited revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $204,833 to $204,833 from $0 in the prior year. This increase in revenue was the result of an increase in sales of product and obtaining new customers. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative ("G&A") expenses increased by $283,547 or 114.59%, to $530,993 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the prior year. This increase in G&A expenses was the result of increased staffing of office and clerical personnel of $36,270 from the prior period and increased marketing services of $256,250 from the prior period, which were partially offset by reductions in other categories. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and Development ("R&D") costs increased by $101,548, or 92.97%, to $210,776 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the prior year. This increase in R&D costs was the result of an increase in staffing of engineers and scientists to work on conceptual formulation, design and testing of product alternatives, and construction of prototypes. NET LOSS Net Loss increased by $179,339, or 45.50%, to $573,454 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to the prior year. This increase in Net Loss was the result of an increase in G&A expenses and R&D costs. Currently operating costs exceed revenue because sales are not yet significant. We cannot assure when or if revenue will exceed operating costs. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We had consolidated net cash of $617,370 at June 30, 2005 as compared to net cash of $0 as of June 30, 2004. We had a net working capital surplus (i.e. the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of $526,062 at June 30, 2005 as compared to a working capital deficit of $75,719 at June 30, 2004. Cash flow used for operating activities increased from ($38,431) during the six months ended June 30, 2004 to ($135,298) during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in cash flow utilized for operating activities in 2005 as compared to 2004 is due to product development. Cash used for investing activities increased from $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 to ($32,791) during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Cash provided by financing activities increased from $38,431 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $653,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Since January 1, 2005 our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of (i) sales, and (ii) equity financing. We had consolidated net cash of $132,459 at December 31, 2004 as compared to net cash of $0 as of December 31, 2003. We had a net working capital surplus (i.e. the difference between current assets and current liabilities) of $270,357 at December 31, 2004 as compared to a working capital deficit of ($116,825) at December 31, 2003. Cash flow used for operating activities increased from ($462,426) during the year ended December 31, 2003 to ($464,252) during the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in cash flow utilized for I-47 operating activities in 2004 as compared to 2003 is due to product development. Cash used for investing activities increased from $0 during the year ended December 31, 2003 to ($11,043) during the year ended December 31, 2004. Cash provided by financing activities increased from $462,425 during the year ended December 31, 2003 to $607,753 during the year ended December 31, 2004. Since January 1, 2004, our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of equity financing and, to a lesser extent, sales. We will have additional capital requirements during 2005 and 2006 if we continue with our plan of securing new OEM relationships and developing requisite products. Although we cannot quantify these anticipated costs with specificity, we estimate that we will incur approximately $200,000 in marketing and sales costs during the next twelve months of operations and that our research and development costs will remain at existing levels or approximately $400,000 during the next twelve months of operations. We do not anticipate, however, any significant capital equipment expenditures. We cannot assure that we will have sufficient capital to finance our growth and business operations or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to us or at all. We are currently incurring operating deficits that are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY MTI does not own any real property. We currently lease approximately 1,100 square feet of office space at 513 De La Vina Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101 from a company owned by the majority shareholders at a base rental rate of approximately $1,188.64 per month pursuant to a three year lease. The lease term commenced on August 20, 2003 and we have the option to extend the lease term for one year. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS The following are certain transactions involving our officers, directors and shareholders owning more than 10% of our outstanding stock. We believe that the terms of these transactions are at least as favorable to us as we would expect to negotiate with unrelated third parties. We lease approximately 1,100 square feet of office space at 513 De La Vina Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101 from a company in which our majority shareholders are minority shareholders at a base rental rate of approximately $1,188.64 pursuant to a three year lease which expires on August 20, 2006 with the option to extend the lease term for one year. In June 2004, Mr. Roland F. Bryan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, converted $400,000 of a loan he made to us into 16,000,000 shares of common stock, as adjusted to reflect the ten for one forward split of our common stock which became effective in September 2004. The remaining balance of the loan of $436,000 is reflected by a convertible debenture issued by us to Mr. Bryan in the principal amount of $436,000, interest payable at the rate of 6% per year, principal due July 2009 and convertible into 17,440,000 shares of common stock at $0.025 per share, as adjusted to reflect the ten for one forward split of our common stock which became effective in September 2004. In 2002, a former director and current shareholder loaned us $6,000 to fund our expenses. The loan bears interest at 6% and is due on demand. We paid all principal and interest due and payable on the loan on July 15, 2005. I-48 MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our Common Stock does not trade on any exchange or the OTC market. There is no known public market for our securities. No dividends have been paid to date and our Board of directors does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. As of September 15, 2005 there were 159,017,050 shares of Common Stock of MTI, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding and owned by approximately 156 shareholders of record. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION We have two executive officers and the following table sets forth all compensation awarded, earned, or paid for services rendered in all capacities to us during fiscal 2003 and 2004 to our Chief Executive Officer, our other executive officer, and each Director who received consulting fees from us during 2003 and 2004.

F-6 MACHINETALKER, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2005 1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS Organization ------------ MachineTalker, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 30, 2002. The Company, based in Goleta, California, began operations on January 30, 2002 to develop and market a wireless control technology. The Company's founders are also the principal owners of SecureCoin, Inc. ("SecureCoin"). As part of MachineTalker's initial capitalization, the Company's founders have contributed certain intellectual property that was developed at and acquired from SecureCoin. SecureCoin assigned all rights to that intellectual property to the co-founders in January 2002, and those co-founders then contributed the intellectual property rights to the Company in connection with its formation. This intellectual property, including a provisional patent, forms the core of MachineTalker's proprietary smart security network technology. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report. The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the Company's year-end audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Line of Business ---------------- The Company is currently in the stage of developing wireless networking products that combine microcomputers and wireless radio components in a single package that can be used to service a variety of attachments, including Sensors for measuring temperature, pressure, motion, vibration, location and many other parameters. These "MachineTalkers" can then be programmed to form local wireless networks with other MachineTalkers to process the Sensor data collectively in real time and on a local basis. This allows governments, businesses and individuals to rapidly deploy wireless security systems to protect and monitor things, places and people. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of significant accounting policies of MachineTalker, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Going Concern ------------- The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the F-7 MACHINETALKER, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2005 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its' inception through June 2005. Management believes this funding will continue, and is also actively seeking new investors. Management believes the existing shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company's obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core of business. Revenue Recognition and Unearned Income --------------------------------------- Revenue for product sales are recorded when the items are shipped, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company also granted an exclusive license for the use of the technology required to operate the Company's product. The revenue related to this transaction is recognized over the contract period, and the related deferred revenue amounted to $178,817 at June 30, 2005. Development Stage Activities and Operations ------------------------------------------- The Company is still in its initial stage of formation and for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as it had insignificant revenues. FASB #7 defines a development stage activity as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant. Stock-Based Compensation ------------------------ The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations (APB 25), and has adopted the "disclosure only" alternative described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Entities electing to remain with the accounting method of APB 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under this plan consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would be reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004: 2005 2004 ---- ---- Net Loss As reported $(454,309) $ (329,199) Add: Stock Based Employee Compensation expense included in reported net loss, net of related tax effects - - Deduct: Total Stock Based Employee Compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (15,363) (55,255) Pro Forma (469,672) (384,454) Basic and Diluted Loss per Share As reported $ (0.00) $ (0.00) Pro Forma $ (0.00) $ (0.00) F-8 MACHINETALKER, INC.

STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS Stock Options ------------- The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan for the purposes of granting stock options to its employees and others providing services to the Company, which reserves and sets aside for the granting of Options for Twenty Million (20,000,000) shares of Common Stock. Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Options or Nonqualified Options and shall be administered by the Company's Board of Directors ("Board"). Each option shall be exercisable in full or in installments and at such times as designated by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any Option agreement, each Option shall expire on the date specified in the Option agreement, which date shall not be later than the tenth anniversary from the effective date of the option. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company granted 0 stock options and 7,000,000 stock options respectively, as adjusted for the ten for one forward split of the Company's common stock which occurred in September 2004. The 7,000,000 stock options were granted on or about February 15, 2004 and vest as follows: 25% one year after the date of grant and 1/36 every 30 days thereafter until the remaining stock options have vested. These stock options are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, as adjusted for the ten for one forward split of the Company's common stock. In August 2004, the Company granted 1,000,000 stock options, as adjusted to reflect the ten for one forward split of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $0.025 per share and exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. These options vest as follows: 25% one year after the date of grant and 1/36 every 30 days thereafter until the remaining stock options have vested. SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires pro forma information regarding net income (loss) using compensation that would have been incurred if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement.

The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options and warrants, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options and warrants have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options or warrants. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding issued under the plan as of June 30, 2005 was as follows:

Warrants -------- During the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Company granted a total of 4,077,000 warrants to purchase a total of 4,077,000 shares of the Company's common stock to fifteen individuals for marketing services rendered to the Company, of which 3,292,000 are exercisable at $0.025 per share and expire in January 2010; 525,000 are exercisable at $0.10 per share and expire in March 2010; and 260,000 are exercisable at $0.10 per share and expire in April 2010. The fair market value for the warrants were $27,851, and was determined using the Black Scholes pricing model. F-10 MACHINETALKER, INC.

F-11 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors MachineTalker, Inc. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MachineTalker, Inc. (a Delaware corporation in the development stage) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. 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 audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also 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 provides 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 MachineTalker, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses and has generated negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/Rose, Snyder & Jacobs ------------------------ Rose, Snyder & Jacobs A Corporation of Certified Public Accountants Encino, California March 18, 2005 F-12 MACHINETALKER, INC.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Notes to Financial Statements Page F-16 MACHINETALKER, INC. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2004 and 2003 1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION MachineTalker, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 30, 2002. The Company, based in Goleta, California, began operations on January 30, 2002 to develop and market a wireless control technology. The Company's founders are also the principal owners of SecureCoin, Inc. ("SecureCoin"). As part of MachineTalker's initial capitalization, the Company's founders have contributed certain intellectual property that was developed at and acquired from SecureCoin. SecureCoin assigned all rights to that intellectual property to the co-founders in January 2002, and those co-founders then contributed the intellectual property rights to the Company in connection with its formation. This intellectual property, including a provisional patent, forms the core of MachineTalker's proprietary smart security network technology. LINE OF BUSINESS The Company is currently in the stage of developing wireless networking products that combine microcomputers and wireless radio components in a single package that can be used to service a variety of attachments, including Sensors for measuring temperature, pressure, motion, vibration, location and many other parameters. These "MachineTalkers" can then be programmed to form local wireless networks with other MachineTalkers to process the Sensor data collectively in real time and on a local basis. This allows governments, businesses and individuals to rapidly deploy wireless security systems to protect and monitor things, places and people. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES This summary of significant accounting policies of MachineTalker, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. GOING CONCERN The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion. As discussed in note 6, the Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its' inception through 2004. Management believes this funding will continue, and is also actively seeking new investors. Management believes the existing shareholders and the prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company's obligations as they become due, and will allow the development of its core of business. DEVELOPMENT STAGE ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS The Company has been in its initial stages of formation and for the year ended December 31, 2004, had insignificant revenues. FASB #7 defines a development stage activity as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm F-17 MACHINETALKER, INC. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2004 and 2003 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. To date the Company has had minimal revenue and is still in the development stage. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENT The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, and the fair value of stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over 5 years. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the amounts reported for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest and other expenses, and notes payable approximate the fair value because of their short maturities. ADVERTISING The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $91 and $2,755 respectively. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These cost consist primarily of salaries and direct payroll related costs. The costs for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $207,326 and $109,228 respectively. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations (APB 25), and has adopted the "disclosure only" alternative described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Entities electing to remain with the accounting method of APB 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. LOSS PER SHARE CALCULATIONS The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 for the calculation of "Loss per Share". SFAS No. 128 dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company's diluted loss per share is the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm F-18 MACHINETALKER, INC. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2004 and 2003 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) same as the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003 as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss. The weighted average number of shares used for the calculation of the loss per share considers the stock split as if it had occurred on January 1, 2003. INCOME TAXES The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. This Statement amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on the reported results. The disclosure requirements of this statement were effective for our years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-based Payment. SFAS 123R revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123R will be effective for the year ending December 31, 2006, and applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are to follow a fair value of those equity instruments. Under SFAS 123R, we will be required to follow a fair value approach using an option-pricing model, such as the Black Schole option valuation model, at the date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option. The adoption of SFAS 123R is expected to have a material impact on our results of operations. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN46) "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and Interpretation of ARB 51." This interpretation addresses consolidation by business enterprises of certain variable interest entities (VIEs). The Interpretation as amended is effective immediately for all enterprises with interests in VIEs created after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of FIN46 (FIN46R), which clarified the provisions of FIN46 by addressing implementation issues. FIN46R must be applied to all entities subject to the Interpretation as of the first interim quarter ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of this interpretation did not impact the financial statements. 3. DEFERRED TAX BENEFIT At December 31, 2004, the Company has federal and state cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,564,000 that expire through 2024. The Company also has tax credits, totaling approximately $625,000 to offset future Federal and State income taxes. For financial reporting purpose, a valuation allowance has been recognized in an amount equal to such deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding their ultimate realization. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm F-19 MACHINETALKER, INC. (A Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2004 and 2003 4. CAPITAL STOCK At December 31, 2004, the Company's authorized stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. In September 2004, the Company effected a ten for one forward split of its common stock. As adjusted to reflect the split, during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued 250,000 shares of common stock for services rendered valued at $6,250; 24,560,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.025 per share pursuant to a private placement made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Private Placement"), 16,000,000 shares of common stock for conversion of debt of $400,000 as part of the Private Placement, and 10,000,000 shares of common stock for services rendered valued at $250,000. As adjusted to reflect the split and certain anti-dilution provisions applicable until the registration of such shares of common stock, during the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company issued 5,520,000 shares of common stock for cash of $138,000. 5. STOCK OPTIONS The Company adopted a Stock Option Plan for the purposes of granting stock options to its employees and others providing services to the Company, which reserves and sets aside for the granting of Options for Twenty Million (20,000,000) shares of Common Stock. Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Options or Nonqualified Options and shall be administered by the Company's Board of Directors ("Board"). Each option shall be exercisable in full or in installments and at such times as designated by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any Option agreement, each Option shall expire on the date specified in the Option agreement, which date shall not be later than the tenth anniversary from the effective date of this option. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company granted 8,000,000 and 1,600,000 stock options, respectively, with effective dates of March 19, 2003 through August 1, 2004. The stock options vest as follows: 25% one year after the date of grant and 1/36 every 30 days thereafter until the remaining stock options have vested. The stock options are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.025 or $0.05 per share, as adjusted for the ten for one forward split of the Company's common stock. SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires pro forma information regarding net income (loss) using compensation that would have been incurred if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement. The fair value of options granted was determined using the Black Schole method with the following assumptions:

The Black Schole option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding issued under the plan as of December 31, 2004 was as follows:
Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Stock Stock Remaining Exercise Price Exercise Price Exercisable Options Options Contractual of Options of Options Prices Outstanding Exercisable Life (years) Outstanding Exercisable ------------- ----------------- ---------------- ------------- ----------------- ---------------- $ 0.025 1,000,000 500,000 9.7 years $ 0.025 $ 0.025 $ 0.050 7,000,000 3,998,630 9.1 years $ 0.050 $ 0.050 ---------- ---------- 8,000,000 4,498,630 ========== =========
The Company has adopted only the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. It applies APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans and does not recognize compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under this plan consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would be reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003: Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm F-21 MACHINETALKER, INC.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Under Delaware General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by a director of his "duty of care." This provision does not apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval of any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, (iv) acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the corporation of its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties including gross negligence. Insofar as an indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted for directors, officers or persons controlling MTI pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission each indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Specifically, the MiniTalker(R) and/or TagTalker(R) products will be tested in conjunction with KBR requirements to determine choice of radio, battery and methods for mounting within the Shipping containers and materials. 1.2.2 Background The tracking or finding of items will bring significant economic savings while minimizing the problem of loss of valuable contents due to theft or spoilage. 1.2.3 KBR Project The Project will involve the coordinated effort of systems personnel from both MACHINETALKER and KBR. The MACHINETALKER staffing will include systems engineering personnel to formulate how MachineTalker's(R) will be adapted physically and what new Applications Software is to be created to meet KBR requirements. KBR staffing will include those who will specify aspects of shipping processes, what is to be detected, what actions will be taken, what is to be reported, and how it is to be reported. Subsequently, the MACHINETALKER team will test variations of the basic MachineTalker(R) product to optimize performance in KBR specified environment. MACHINETALKER will implement Applications Software to service sensors, accept cargo information and to report in the manner specified for use by KBR tracking system software. The end result is to equip the items with the means for tracking and security and to do so in concert with KBR tracking system. The Project tasks to accomplish this goal are tied to "milestones" as expressed below and in the Project Schedule and Payment Deliverable Chart.

MACHINETALKER shall prepare and submit a written report which shall summarize the findings of the all hands meeting, including but not necessarily limited to, the specification for the end product and its interfaces. Task #2 - Test and evaluation of the insertion of wireless products into the shipping container environment. These tests will be conducted using off-the-shelf MiniTalkers(R) to evaluate operation at different radio frequencies and in different container locations and configurations. The result of these tests will be to find the optimum radio frequencies and the optimum mounting locations within the Shipping containers and materials. Radio frequencies which are prohibited for use by the U.S. Government will not be considered. MACHINETALKER shall prepare a written report upon completion of this Task #2 and, in conjunction with the report, submit a manufacturing specification for the production hardware configuration for KBR MiniTalker(R) unit. Task #3 - Codification of KBR freight tracking and inventory software I/O language (protocol) desired by KBR Project team.

The Code of Business Conduct applies to all Company Directors, employees and agents and all Company activities throughout the world, except where specifically indicated. It is the policy of the Company to comply with applicable law. Some Company policies are based on the requirements of applicable law and others are just good ethics and business sense. The Company is organized under United States law and its securities are publicly traded. This means that the Company is primarily governed by United States law, and that United States law applies to some of the Company's business outside the United States. The Company does business in many countries around the world and, as a good business citizen, we must observe the applicable laws of the countries in which the Company does business. Sometimes there is a conflict between the United States law and the law of one of the other countries in which the Company operates. In these situations the Company will resolve the conflict with the advice and counsel of the Law Department. It is the personal responsibility of each Company Director, employee and agent to observe the standards of conduct and other requirements of the Code of Business Conduct whether or not these standards and requirements are also imposed by law. Any Director, employee or agent who does not comply with these standards and requirements is acting outside the scope of his or her employment, responsibilities or agency. The underlying formal policies themselves have more detail than is contained in this booklet. It is the responsibility of each Director, employee or agent to familiarize himself or herself with the details of the policies of the Company that apply to his or her assigned duties. If an employee wishes to refer to the complete policies summarized in this booklet, they are available in electronic and written form. If a Director, employee or agent has any questions about the policies summarized in this booklet, he or she should contact the Law Department. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0001 Ethical Business Practices Company policy requires Directors, employees and agents to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. Directors and employees must practice fair dealing, honesty and integrity in every aspect of dealing with other Company employees, the public, the business community, shareholders, customers, suppliers, competitors and government authorities. When acting on behalf of the Company, Directors and employees shall not take unfair advantage through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or other unfair-dealing practices. Company policy prohibits unlawful discrimination against employees, shareholders, Directors, officers, customers or suppliers on account of race, color, age, sex, religion or national origin. All persons shall be treated with dignity and respect and they shall not be unreasonably interfered with in the conduct of their duties and responsibilities. No Director or employee should be misguided by any sense of loyalty to the Company or a desire for profitability that might cause him or her to disobey any applicable law or Company policy. Violation of Company policy will constitute grounds for disciplinary action, including, when appropriate, termination of employment. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0001 Sensitive Transactions Company policy prohibits its Directors, employees and agents from entering into sensitive transactions. If such a transaction occurs, the Company and its officers, Directors and employees directly involved may be subject to fines, imprisonment and civil litigation. The term "sensitive transactions" is commonly used to describe a broad range of business dealings generally considered to be either illegal, unethical, immoral or to reflect adversely on the integrity of the Company. These transactions are usually in the nature of kickbacks, gifts of significant value, bribes or payoffs made to favorably influence some decision affecting a company's business or for the personal gain of an individual. These transactions may result in violation of various laws, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and similar laws of other countries. Company policy and the FCPA prohibits the Company and its officers, Directors, employees and agents from corruptly offering or giving anything of value to: o An official, including any person acting in an official capacity for a government outside the United States or an official of a public international organization; o A political party official or political party outside the United States; or o A candidate for political office outside the United States; directly or indirectly, for the purpose of influencing any act or decision of these officials in their official capacity or in violation of their lawful duties or to secure any improper advantage in order to help the Company obtain or retain business or direct business to any person. Employees of government owned companies such as national oil companies are considered to be government officials. Company policy prohibits any Director, employee or agent from making any payment or engaging in any transaction that is prohibited by the FCPA. This policy does not prohibit properly made and recorded facilitating payments. Sometimes the Company may be required to make facilitating or expediting payments to a low level government official or employee in some countries other than the United States to expedite or secure the performance of routine governmental action by the government official or employee. Such facilitating payments may not be illegal under the FCPA and similar laws of other countries. Nevertheless, it may be difficult to distinguish a legal facilitating payment from an illegal bribe, kickback or payoff. Accordingly, facilitating payments must be strictly controlled and every effort must be made to eliminate or minimize such payments. Facilitating payments, if required, will be made only in accordance with the advance guidance of the Law Department. All facilitating payments must be recorded accurately as facilitating payments in the accounting records of the Company. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0005 Commercial Bribery Company policy prohibits commercial bribes, kickbacks and other similar payoffs and benefits paid to any suppliers or customers. Directors, employees and agents are also prohibited from receiving, directly or indirectly, anything of a significant value (other than salary, wages or other ordinary compensation from the Company) in connection with a transaction entered into by the Company. Bribery of suppliers or customers includes any payment for the benefit of any representative of the supplier or customer. It includes: o Gifts of other than nominal value; o Cash payments by Directors, employees or third per-sons, such as agents or consultants, who are reimbursed by the Company; o The uncompensated use of Company services, facilities or property, except as may be authorized by the Company; and o Loans, loan guarantees or other extensions of credit. This policy does not prohibit expenditures of reasonable amounts for meals and entertainment of suppliers and customers which are an ordinary and customary business expense, if they are otherwise lawful. Expenditures of this type should be included on expense reports and approved under standard Company procedures. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0006 Accounting Controls, Procedures and Records Applicable laws and Company policy require the Company to keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect its transactions and the dispositions of its assets. In addition, the Company must maintain a system of internal accounting controls that will ensure the reliability and adequacy of its books and records. Failure to meet such requirements may constitute a violation of law. To satisfy these requirements, the Company has adopted policies to ensure that only proper transactions are entered into by the Company, that such transactions have proper management approval, that such transactions are properly accounted for in the books and records of the Company and that the reports and financial statements of the Company are timely prepared, understandable and fully, fairly and accurately reflect such transactions. All Directors and employees having any responsibility for such functions must be familiar with the Company's policies, accounting controls, procedures and records and must comply with their requirements. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0004 Use and Disclosure of Inside information The laws of the United States and many other countries regulate the use and disclosure of inside information concerning the Company. Information is "inside information" if it has not been publicly disclosed. The Company has policies (based in part on such laws) concerning the use and disclosure of inside information. Company policy prohibits disclosure of material inside information to anyone other than persons within the Company whose positions require them to know such information. Company policy also prohibits trading in the securities of the Company by any employee while in the possession of material inside information. If an employee or agent has inside information he or she must wait until the end of business on the second business day after the information has been properly disclosed to the public before trading in the securities of the Company. Company policy also prohibits providing inside information to other persons or recommending that they buy or sell the Company's securities on the basis of inside information. More restrictive rules apply to certain key employees, officers and Directors. A Director, employee or agent shall not trade in the securities of another company if, in the course of his or her employment or position with the Company, he or she learns confidential information about such other company that is likely to affect the price of such securities. Company Directors, employees and agents are discouraged from short term speculation in the securities of the Company. It is Company policy that no preferential treatment be given with respect to disclosure of inside information. The Company has adopted procedures to avoid improper preferential disclosures. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0008 Confidential or Proprietary Information Company Directors, employees and agents often learn confidential or proprietary information about the Company or its customers. Company policy prohibits Directors, employees and agents from disclosing or using confidential or proprietary information outside the Company or for personal gain, either during or after employment, without proper written Company authorization to do so. An unauthorized disclosure could be harmful to the Company or a customer or helpful to a competitor. The Company also works with proprietary data of customers, suppliers and joint venture partners. This is an important trust and must be discharged with the greatest care for the Company to merit the continued confidence of its customers, suppliers and joint venture partners. No Director, employee or agent shall disclose or use confidential or proprietary information outside the Company without Company authorization, nor shall any Director, employee or agent disclose such information to other employees except on a need-to-know basis. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0009 Conflicts of Interest Company policy prohibits conflicts between the interests of its Directors or employees and the Company. A complete definition of what constitutes a conflict of interest is difficult. There are some situations, however, that will always be considered a prohibited conflict of interest. These situations occur when a Director or employee or any person having a close personal relationship with the Director or employee: o Obtains a significant financial or other beneficial interest in one of the Company's suppliers, customers or competitors without first notifying the Company and obtaining written approval from the Chief. Executive Officer or his or her designee; o Engages in a significant personal business transaction involving the Company for profit or gain, unless such transaction has first been approved in writing by the Chief Executive Officer or his or her designee; o Accepts money, gifts of other than nominal value, excessive hospitality, loans, guarantees of obligations or other special treatment from any supplier, customer or competitor of the Company (loans from lending institutions at prevailing interest rates are excluded); o Participates in any sale, loan or gift of Company property without obtaining written approval from the Chief Executive Officer or his or her designee; o Learns of a business opportunity through association with the Company and discloses it to a third party or invests in or takes the opportunity personally without first offering it to the Company; o Uses corporate property, information, or position for personal gain; or o Competes with the Company. A conflict of interest may arise because of outside directorships, personal use of Company property or obtaining Company services for personal benefit. "Person having a close personal relationship with the Director or employee" refers to the Director's or employee's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, any person living in the same house with the Director or employee or any business associate of the Director or employee. Periodically the Company requires certain employees to certify to the Company that they have complied with all requirements of the Code of Business Conduct. Disclosure of a particular situation that may be a conflict of interest does not mean that the Company will consider it to be substantial enough to be prohibited. Each situation will be considered on an individual basis. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0003 Fraud and Similar Irregularities Company policy prohibits fraud and establishes procedures to be followed concerning the recognition, reporting and investigation of suspected fraud. Fraud includes, but is not limited to: o Dishonest or fraudulent act; o Embezzlement; o Forgery or alteration of negotiable instruments such as Company checks and drafts; o Misappropriation of Company, employee, customer, partner or supplier assets; o Conversion to personal use of cash, securities, supplies or any other Company asset; o Unauthorized handling or reporting of Company transactions; and o Falsification of Company records or financial statements for personal or other reasons. Directors and employees are obligated to protect the Company's assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste of Company assets by Directors and employees are prohibited since such actions and conduct have a direct and negative impact on the Company's profitability. All Company assets shall only be used for the legitimate business purposes of the Company. Any Director, employee or agent who suspects that any fraudulent activity may have occurred is required to report such concern to the Law Department, Audit Services, Security Department, or the Company's Chief Financial Officer. All fraud investigations will be conducted under the direction of the Law Department. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0015 Export Matters and International Business Relationships Export Administration and International Economic Sanctions Although the Company operates in many countries throughout the world, as a United States company it must comply with the export administration and international economic sanctions laws of the United States. Company policy requires that the Company conduct all of its business and export its services, products and technology in compliance with such laws. There are no exceptions to this policy. The Company has established a comprehensive internal monitoring program to ensure compliance with such laws. The requirements of these laws are complex and sometimes difficult to understand. Any questions concerning the requirements of this policy or the applicable law should be addressed to the export control manager or the Law Department. All Company Directors, employees and agents must observe all requirements of the internal controls program and act in compliance with these laws. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0010 Boycotts Applicable laws and Company policy prohibits cooperation with certain boycotts imposed by the laws of other countries. Applicable United States laws also require that the Company not provide certain information concerning the identity and nationality of its employees, Directors, shareholders, subcontractors and suppliers or information about where the Company does business when such information is requested to support a prohibited boycott.The Company is also required to report requests it receives to support such boycotts even though it does not comply with such requests. Sometimes requests to support a prohibited boycott are hard to detect. All employees and agents who are likely to come in contact with such requests must be fully aware of the details of this policy. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0011 International Business Relationships The Company often enters into business relationships with other persons and companies outside the United States. These "International Business Relationships" take the form of agency agreements, joint ventures and other forms of business combinations. Company policy governs the manner in which it will enter into and manage these business relationships. The term "International Business Relationships" includes the following: o Employment of an agent, consultant, sponsor or any other party to assist the Company in obtaining work or projects, personnel visas, import licenses, facilities or other matters necessary for operation within a country or region; o Entering into a joint venture, consortium or shareholder agreement, or any other arrangement where another party obtains an equity interest in the business of an entity in which the Company also owns an interest or a share of the profits from any work performed by the Company; o Entering into a distribution, marketing, sales representation or licensing agreement where another party distributes, markets, sells or licenses others or obtains a license relating to the services, products or technology of the Company; or o Entering into a contract or subcontract where another party will perform the majority of the work to be performed under the Company's contract. "International Business Relationships" do not include subcontracts or purchase orders for goods or routine services in the regular course of business. While International Business Relationships are useful in the conduct of the Company's business, they must be adequately subject to the Company's systems of control to protect the Company's assets against unauthorized use. Also, the Company may be held accountable for actions taken by agents and others on its behalf. Thus, Company policy requires that selection of other parties with whom the Company will join in International Business Relationships must be subject to appropriate management control and investigation. All proposed agreements establishing or amending such relationships must be carefully reviewed by legal, financial and management personnel prior to signing the agreement. Further, these agreements must require that the other parties agree to comply with the Company's Code of Business Conduct for International Business Relationships. This separate code of conduct applies to International Business Relationships. It includes many of the same requirements as the Company's Code of Business Conduct. Any employee who has responsibilities with respect to International Business Relationships must be familiar with the more detailed applicable Company policies. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0007 Antitrust and Competition The antitrust laws of the United States and other countries prohibit agreements or actions that might eliminate or discourage competition, bring about a monopoly, abuse a dominant market position, artificially maintain prices or otherwise illegally hamper or distort commerce. In addition to criminal fines and jail terms, United States antitrust violations often allow a private party to recover three times actual money damages. Antitrust lawsuits have frequently resulted in judgments against companies amounting to tens of millions and on occasions hundreds of millions of dollars. The Company does not tolerate any business activity that violates antitrust laws that apply to the Company's business. Company policy requires that no Director, employee or agent of the Company shall enter into any understanding, agreement, plan or scheme, express or implied, formal or informal, with any competitor in regard to prices, terms or conditions of sale or service, production, distribution, territories or customers; nor exchange or discuss with a competitor prices, terms or conditions of sale or service, or any other competitive information; nor engage in any other conduct which violates any of the antitrust laws. However, subcontracting arrangements or joint proposals with competitors which are not in violation of applicable antitrust laws and which have been approved by the Law Department are not prohibited. Any discussion with competitors in connection with a project in which the competitor is an alliance partner, joint venturer, or subcontractor must be precleared and coordinated with the Law Department. Antitrust laws are complex and sometimes difficult to understand. Any Director, employee or agent of the Company who has responsibility for business conduct that might be subject to antitrust laws must be guided by the advice of the Law Department. Any questions concerning antitrust implications must be referred to the Law Department before taking any action. There are no exceptions to this policy and no one is authorized to approve any action in violation of this policy. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0013 Employment and the Workplace Equal Employment Opportunity Company policy prohibits all unlawful discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment. The Company is committed to providing equal opportunity to all qualified individuals in its hiring and promotion policies. The Company will endeavor to create a workforce that is a reflection of the diverse population of the communities in which it operates. With respect to operations governed by United States law, this policy relates to all phases of employment, including recruitment, hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, compensation, benefits, training, educational, social and recreational programs and the use of Company facilities. It covers all other personnel actions in all job categories and at all levels, including employment of qualified disabled individuals, disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era. It is intended to provide employees with a working environment free of discrimination, harassment, intimidation or coercion relating directly or indirectly to race, color, religion, sex, age, disability or national origin. All Directors, members of management and other employees shall actively support this policy. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0002 Harassment The Company believes that all employees should be treated with dignity and respect. It is the policy of the Company to provide a work environment which is free from harassment. As used in this policy, harassment includes sexual, racial, ethnic, and other forms of harassment, including harassment based upon disability. Some examples, depending on the facts and circumstances, include: o Verbal or Written Harassment - unwelcome or derogatory comments regarding a person's race, color, sex, religion, ancestry, ethnic heritage, mental or physical disability, age or appearance; threats of physical harm; or the distribution of material having such effects, including by electronic mail or display in any Company work area. o Physical Harassment - hitting, pushing or other aggressive physical contact or threats to take such action, or inappropriate gestures. o Sexual Harassment - unwelcome sexual conduct, whether verbal or physical, including sexual advances, demands for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, whether or not it was designed or intended to promote an intimate relationship. It is not considered harassment for supervisors and other members of management to enforce job performance and standards of conduct in a fair and consistent manner. Any employee who believes she or he is being harassed should consider telling the offending party that she or he objects to that conduct. This often solves the problem. However, if an employee is not comfortable confronting the offending party (or if the offending party's unwelcome conduct continues), the employee should advise his or her immediate supervisor of the offending conduct. If the employee is more comfortable discussing the issue with someone other than his or her immediate supervisor, or if the immediate supervisor has not taken what the employee regards as appropriate action to solve the problem, the employee should contact a Human Resources or Law Department representative. Reports of harassment will be investigated promptly and discreetly. Any employee who reports any act of harassment in good faith, including sexual harassment, will not be retaliated against because of such report. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0016 Health, Safety and Environment Protection of health, safety and the prevention of pollution to the environment are primary goals of the Company. The Company will strive to develop and provide products and services that have no undue environmental impact and are safe in their intended use, efficient in their consumption of energy and natural resources and can be recycled, reused or disposed of safely. All employees must conduct their duties and responsibilities in compliance with applicable law and industry standards relating to health and safety in the workplace and prevention of pollution to the environment. The Chief Health, Safety and Environment Officer of the Company shall oversee the administration of this policy. Implementation shall be subject to the oversight of the Health, Safety and Environment Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0014 Political Activities The Company believes strongly in the democratic process. Its Directors and employees should take an active interest in fostering principles of good government in the countries and communities in which they live. Directors and employees may spend their own time and funds supporting political candidates and issues, but they will not be reimbursed by the Company. Directors and employees should ensure that their personal political contributions and activities are in compliance with applicable law. Further, some political conduct which is permitted and encouraged for individuals is unlawful for corporations. Company policy requires Directors, employees and agents who represent the Company in political and governmental matters to comply with all laws regulating corporate participation in public affairs. To assure that these requirements are met and as guidance to them, the following policies have been adopted: No Director, employee or agent shall apply any pressure on any other employee that infringes that individual's right to decide whether, to whom and in what amount a personal political contribution is to be made; No contributions of Company funds, property or services shall be made in support of political candidates for federal office in the United States or in certain states or other countries where such contributions are prohibited. Indirect expenditures on behalf of a candidate, such as travel on a Company aircraft, may be considered as contributions in this regard; No political contribution of Company funds, property or services can be made by the Company, except in accordance with a plan approved by the Chief Executive Officer; o When permitted by law and authorized by the Chief Executive Officer, Company funds and facilities may be used to provide administrative support for the operation of political action committees or programs, the purposes of which include the disbursement of financial contributions made by certain employees, shareholders and/or others to political parties or candidates. No Company funds, facilities or other property will be used for other than administrative support of such a committee; o When permitted by law and authorized by the Chief Executive Officer, expenditures of Company funds may be made to inform or influence the voting public on an issue of importance to the business of the Company and its shareholders. If an employee or Director is requested to make a political contribution or to provide assistance on behalf of the Company, whether personal or corporate, and such employee or Director has any questions regarding this Company policy or applicable law, the employee or Director should contact the Company's Vice President - Government Relations or the Law Department. Reference: Corporate Policy 3-0012 United States(degree)federal Government Contracting To ensure that the Company complies with federal regulations on United States governmental contracts, all employees involved in the performance of work under governmental contracts are to be adequately informed and sufficiently trained in the policies and practices contained in the Code of Business Conduct and other Company policies specifically relating to government contracting. Each business unit manager with contracts with the United States government is responsible for ensuring that training sessions regarding these policies are conducted and that the training sessions are properly documented. The Company takes appropriate, timely action to correct violations of United States governmental standards. If any employee has a question on the propriety of a transaction, the employee must report the transaction to the immediate supervisor. If the supervisor finds the question to have substance, the supervisor must report the transaction to the General Counsel or his or her designee. The supervisor must advise the employee of the action the supervisor has taken. If the employee disagrees with the supervisor or if the employee is not comfortable reporting the transaction to the supervisor, the employee may contact the General Counsel or his or her designee directly. When cost and pricing data are required to respond to a government solicitation, the cost and pricing data must be current, accurate, and complete at the time of submission. All costs are to be properly recorded, documented, and retained in compliance with United States federal procurement regulations. Each business unit doing business with the United States government must invoice the government in strict compliance with United States governmental cost principles and other United States federal regulations. Many United States governmental projects in which the Company participates may involve classified or proprietary materials or information. In these cases, the Company complies with all United States government security regulations to prevent unauthorized access, distribution, or use of any classified information. The Company complies with applicable United States federal statutes and regulations governing the employment of former United States military, Department of Defense, or other federal employees. When the Company contemplates hiring a former United States governmental employee or engaging the employee as a consultant, the responsible business unit manager shall consult with the Law Department for guidance.

"Buyer", "Seller", and "Owner" (if any) are identified and defined as set forth within this Purchase Order. This Purchase Order is entered into between Buyer and Seller, who may be referred to individually herein as a "party" or collectively as the "parties". Seller agrees to sell, and Buyer agrees to buy, the goods, work and/or services described in and furnished under this Purchase Order (the "Goods"), under the terms and conditions set forth herein. The "Buyer Indemnitees" as referred to herein shall mean Buyer, any Owner, any assignee, their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, co-participants, investors, and lenders, and the respective officers, directors, employees, consultants, contractors, invitees, agents, representatives, successors, heirs, and insurers of each such entity at all tiers.

This Purchase Order becomes effective when (a) executed by both the Buyer and Seller; or (b) when Seller commences performance; or (c) when Seller tenders the Goods to Buyer, whichever event occurs earliest. 3. INTEGRATION AND CONTROLLING TERMS. This Purchase Order constitutes the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Goods, superseding all quotations, proposals, communications, negotiations and counter-proposals. This Purchase Order expressly excludes any quotations or proposal of Seller unless such proposal is specifically referenced and incorporated herein. Any different or additional terms and conditions by Seller in Seller's acceptance or during Seller's performance of this Purchase Order, including any terms and conditions contained on any of Seller's quotations, proposals, or forms, shall be null and void and of no effect on the parties. Electronic commerce transactions between Buyer and Seller pertaining to this Purchase Order will be solely governed by these terms and conditions. Any terms and conditions on Seller's internet site to which agreement by Buyer in any manner, whether through a online electronic agreement, deemed implied by site use, or otherwise, is required in any manner during performance of this Purchase Order, will be null and void and of no legal effect on Buyer. If this Purchase Order has been issued by Buyer in response to a proposal or offer by Seller, it is Buyer's intention that its counteroffer to Seller will be governed solely by these terms and conditions and not by any of Seller's terms or conditions which may be contained in its proposal or offer. If Seller includes or attaches any different and/or additional terms or conditions in Seller's executed acceptance of a Purchase Order issued by Buyer and proceeds to commence performance or tender all or any part of the Goods without Buyer's express acceptance of such different or additional terms or conditions, Seller agrees that a binding contract will be formed solely upon Buyer's terms and conditions, which contract will not include any of Seller's different and/or additional terms or conditions. Seller's proposal or quotation is not included as part of the Purchase Order unless expressly referenced herein as part of the agreement. 4. ERRONEOUS OR CONFLICTING REQUIREMENTS. Upon Seller's discovery that any provision of this Purchase Order may contain any error, omission or conflict with any other provision contained herein, it is Seller's responsibility to give Buyer immediate written notice of such for resolution by Buyer. If Agreement No. CA-0006 12/29/2004 6:21 PM Page 2 of 11 EXHIBIT 7 - Purchase Order Terms & Conditions Seller proceeds with performance after discovery without notification to and resolution by Buyer, then Seller assumes the risk of all resulting expenses, costs and consequences incurred. 5.

Buyer has the right to inspect and expedite the Goods at any stage of design, fabrication, manufacture, storage, transit, and upon delivery to assure compliance herewith. Seller will provide Buyer with all data, drawings, specifications, test results, quality documentation, schedules and other documents and information relating to the Goods. Notwithstanding any specifications, data, requirements or other information provided by Buyer, it is Seller's responsibility to request any additional documentation or information from Buyer which Seller determines it may need for performance of this Purchase Order, and Buyer will respond to the extent possible in a timely manner. Seller will comply with Buyer's inspection and testing requirements, plans or procedures set forth in this Purchase Order, and with other such instructions and directions as may be provided by the authorized Buyer representative. No inspection, waiving of inspection, review, approval, acceptance or provision of any instructions, direction, information, drawings or data hereunder by or from Buyer, or lack of such from Buyer, will constitute a waiver of, or relieve or discharge Seller from, either expressly or by implication, Seller's responsibilities and obligations under this Purchase Order. 6. TIME OF PERFORMANCE. SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TIME REQUIRED FOR PERFORMANCE AND THE DELIVERY SCHEDULE SPECIFIED HEREIN ARE CRITICAL, MATERIAL AND OF THE ESSENCE TO PERFORMANCE OF THIS PURCHASE ORDER FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF SUBSTANTIAL LOSS TO BUYER, VARIOUS CONTRACTORS AND ANY OWNER . SELLER'S UNEXCUSED FAILURE TO MEET THE DELIVERY SCHEDULE WITHOUT BUYER'S WRITTEN CONSENT MAY CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF CONTRACT OR DEFAULT HEREUNDER. Any such consent by Buyer, however, will not constitute a waiver of any provision herein but will serve only to delay the delivery schedule. In the event of delay, or anticipated delay, from any cause, including force majeure, Seller will immediately notify Buyer in writing of the delay or anticipated delay, and its approximate duration, and Seller will undertake to mitigate, shorten or make up the delay by all reasonable and expeditious means. An event of "Force Majeure" under this paragraph shall be an excused delay, provided Seller has provided timely written notice of the occurrence of such event to Buyer. If possible, Seller agrees to take all reasonable commercial efforts to reduce or mitigate the effects of such delay. "Force Majeure" is defined as any act of God, flooding, fire, severe storm, lightning, act of war, act of terrorism, or unforeseeable governmental action, beyond the control of and not caused in any part by any fault of Seller, but shall not include any power, supply, transportation or labor problems. Buyer, at its option, may require or approve in writing a change in the delivery schedule or progress requirements as established in this Purchase Order in response to Seller's notice. If Seller fails to obtain the approval of Buyer for any such change, and Seller fails for any reason to meet the delivery schedule, progress requirements, or it becomes apparent that Seller will not for any reason meet the schedule or progress milestones, Buyer may in such case, without penalty, cancellation fee, restocking or other fee or charges, and without prejudice to any other rights which it may have, cancel all or any part of the Purchase Order and take any other action as Buyer may consider necessary or desirable under the circumstances to avoid or minimize losses.
