RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

NON-RELIANCE ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On April 15, 2005, the Company’s management, in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s historical financial information related to fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2003 and for the first three fiscal quarters of 2004 accounted incorrectly for certain convertible preferred stock instruments. As such, the management has concluded that the Company’s historical financial statements should no longer be relied upon. While the Company does not intend to amend its previously filed annual and quarterly reports covering the periods noted above, the Company has restated historical financial information for the periods required to be presented in this annual report on Form 10-KSB to reflect the correct accounting treatment. The Company has also included in this annual report on Form 10-KSB five years of restated financial information highlighting the differences resulting from the application of the change in accounting treatment to its historical financial statements and restated selected quarterly information for 2003 and 2004.

SECOND PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHRIDGE PARTNERS

On January 31, 2005, we entered into a Second Securities Purchase Agreement with Southridge Partners LP, one of our existing investors, whereby we agreed to sell a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 and warrant to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to Southridge in exchange for its $250,000 investment. Under the terms of this purchase agreement, Southridge may, at its option, and at any time prior to July 1, 2005, purchase an additional note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000, and otherwise on substantially the same terms as the note issued on January 31, 2005.

The note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Southridge may require us to repurchase some or all of its note if the market price of our common stock falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount of the note. In the event we default under the terms of the note, the entire outstanding principal (and any outstanding interest accrued thereon) shall become immediately due and payable, and the interest rate will rise to 18% per annum.

We have secured the payment of the notes with a subordinated security interest in our accounts, general intangibles, inventories, and other collateral. In addition, in the event we propose to register securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are required to notify Southridge in advance of such registration and, at its request (subject to limited exceptions), include the shares of our common stock underlying the note and warrant on the registration statement filed in connection with such registration (and assume any expenses associated therewith).

The warrant has an expiration date of January 31, 2010. It contains a cashless exercise provision whereby the holder may pay the exercise price associated with any exercise by having us withhold a number of shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise having a fair market value equal to the applicable aggregate exercise price. In the event such provision is used with respect to an exercise, we would receive no proceeds upon such exercise.

ENTRANCE INTO EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH WOODWARD LLC

On January 31, 2005, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with Woodward LLC pursuant to which we acquired promissory notes, and have accordingly assumed all rights pertaining thereto, issued by Eurotech Ltd. The notes are currently in default and have an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $290,000. The notes carry a default annual interest rate of 18% and are past due in their entirety. In exchange for these notes, we issued to Woodward a promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000.

Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, in the event we propose to register securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are required to notify Woodward in advance of such registration and, at its request (subject to limited exceptions), include the shares of our common stock underlying the note on the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, and assume any expenses associated therewith.

SOUTHRIDGE EXERCISES OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL NOTES AND WARRANTS

On March 2, 2005, Southridge Partners LP exercised its option to purchase an additional note and warrant under its Second Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection with such exercise, we issued to Southridge a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $175,000 and a warrant to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for its $175,000 investment. The note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Southridge may require us to repurchase some or all of its note if the market price of our common stock falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount of the note. In the event we default under the terms of the note, the entire outstanding principal (and any outstanding interest accrued thereon) shall become immediately due and payable, and the interest rate will rise to 18% per annum. The note matures on March 2, 2007.

SOUTHRIDGE EXERCISES OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL NOTES AND WARRANTS

On April 11, 2005, Southridge Partners LP exercised its option to purchase an additional note and warrant pursuant to the Second Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection with such exercise, we issued to Southridge a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 and a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Southridge in exchange for its $125,000 investment. The note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Southridge may require us to repurchase some, or all, of its note if the market price of our common stock falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount of the note. In the event we default under the terms of the note, the entire outstanding principal (and any outstanding interest accrued thereon) shall become immediately due and payable, and the interest rate will rise to 18% per annum. The note matures on April 11, 2007.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is currently operating in two major segments. These segments are defined as the Licensed Technologies Sector which consists of the marketing and sales of the technologies licensed from Eurotech and the Specialty Lighting subsidiary which consists of the design, development, manufacture and sales of specialty lighting and architectural products acquired in the merger with True To Form Ltd, Inc, acquired December 31, 2004. The Company is targeting the pursuit of the Homeland Securities market with both segments.

On May 22, 2003, we completed a transaction with Eurotech pursuant to which we now license EKOR, now called NuCap(TM), HNIPU, EMR/AC, Rad-X, Firesil, LEM and RBHM technologies from Eurotech. Currently, we are licensing the EKOR(TM), HNIPU, EMR/AC, Rad-X, Firesil, LEM and RBHM technologies from Eurotech, Ltd. We intend to use these licenses to derive revenue by partnering with other technology firms to sell raw materials to producers or to sublicense the technologies and collect royalties and/or licensing fees.

On December 31, 2004 we acquired True To Form Ltd, Inc.. As a result of the merger, True To Form is now our wholly owned subsidiary. True To Form designs, develops, manufactures and sells specialty lighting products to targeted segments of the traditional lighting industry and has recently established a division that will focus on the homeland security market. True To Form markets high-end lighting and architectural products for both commercial and residential applications, including pendants, surface and ceiling luminaries, table and floor lamps, commercial down-lights, bath fixtures, and custom fixtures.

The Company’s Internet related business was sold on May 31, 2004 to Tulix Systems, Inc. As a part of the sales agreement the Company acquired 15% equity ownership of Tulix. The Company is a minority stock holder in Tulix and exercises no management input or control of its operations.

HISTORY

HomeCom Communications, Inc. (“HomeCom”), now Global Matrechs, Inc. (“Global Matrechs”), was organized in 1994 to provide complex web-based software applications and integration services to businesses seeking to take advantage of the Internet. Over time, the Company evolved into a Web design, financial applications and solutions provider to the financial services market, including banking, insurance, securities brokerage firms and other financially oriented web portals.

On May 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its remaining Internet business to Tulix Systems, Inc. (“Tulix”), a company in which Gia Bokuchava, Nino Doijashvili and Timothy R. Robinson, who were officers and directors of the Company, are officers, directors and founding shareholders. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of this business of $125,030 in the fourth quarter of 2003 and recorded an additional loss of $124,385 in the second quarter of 2004 for adjustments to the closing as provided for in the closing documents. With the consummation of this Purchase Agreement, Global Matrechs has completely exited from all Internet-related enterprises.

The Company currently operates in two distinct segments. The first segment consists of licenses, products, and services which find their origin in the technologies licensed from Eurotech. The second consists of the design, manufacture, and sales of specialty lighting and architectural fixtures acquired through the purchase of True To Form Ltd., Inc.

The Company’s licensed technologies business commenced on May 22, 2003 upon the completion of its transaction with Eurotech, Ltd. (“Eurotech”). The Company had entered into a License and Exchange Agreement with Eurotech and, with respect to Articles V and VI thereof, Polymate, Ltd. and Greenfield Capital Partners LLC, on March 27, 2003 (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”). In connection with the completion of the transaction, the Company entered into a License Agreement, dated May 22, 2003 with Eurotech (as amended, the “License Agreement”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and the License Agreement, Eurotech has licensed to the Company its rights to EKOR(TM) (now called NuCap(TM)), HNIPU, Electro Magnetic Radiography/Acoustic Core (EMR/AC), Rad-X, Firesil, LEM and Rapidly Biodegradable Hydrophobic Material (RBHM) technologies, which are more fully described herein. In exchange for the licenses of these technologies, the Company (i) issued to Eurotech 11,250 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,069 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, and (ii) agreed to pay Eurotech a royalty of seven percent (7%) on net sales generated by the licensed technologies and a royalty of four percent (4%) on net sales generated by products and services that are improvements on the licensed technologies.

The License Agreement provides that the licenses granted to the Company thereunder will become terminable at the option of Eurotech (i) if the Company has not affected a commercial sale of any licensed technology or improved licensed technology by April 1, 2006, and (ii) in certain other circumstances. In connection with this transaction, we issued 1,500 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock to Polymate and 750 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock to Greenfield (Polymate was issued shares as partial consideration for Polymate’s agreement to modify its rights to receive royalties from Eurotech; Greenfield was issued shares as consideration for its acting as an advisor to the Company and participating in the negotiation of the transaction with Eurotech on behalf of the Company). The holders of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock cancelled their outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock in exchange for the right to receive shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, which were issued to them on September 30, 2003.

We expanded our offerings when, on December 31, 2004, we acquired our subsidiary, True To Form Ltd. (“True To Form”), a company in the business of designing, developing, and manufacturing specialty lighting products. We acquired True To Form from its sole shareholder, Mark J. Allen, who is also a member of our board of directors. Mr. Allen will continue as the President of True To Form and was appointed Executive Vice President of the Company. The transaction was the result of arm’s length negotiations and was unanimously approved by the disinterested directors of the Company. The consideration was determined on the basis of these negotiations and the advice of our financial advisor, who is not affiliated with us or Mr. Allen.

The consideration paid to Mr. Allen in the transaction consisted of:

·  the issuance by True To Form of a secured note in the initial principal amount of $500,000; and
·  the issuance to Mr. Allen by Global Matrechs of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.

The number of shares of common stock issued in the transaction is subject to adjustment based on the price of our common stock and the revenues of the acquired business on December 31, 2006. In general, assuming that True To Form generates gross revenues of at least $3,000,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the value of the shares issued in the transaction (based on the average closing price of the shares for the five trading days ended on or prior to December 31, 2006) will be at least $2.5 million but no more than $3.5 million. If the value is less than $2.5 million, we are obligated to issue additional shares or, at our option, make cash payments to make up the difference. If the value of the shares is greater than $3.5 million, any excess shares will be returned to us and retired or held as treasury stock. If True To Form does not meet the revenue target, the share consideration will be a minimum of $2.0 million and a maximum of $3.0 million.

5

 
Global Matrechs has provided True To Form with an initial working capital loan of approximately $200,000 and will enter into an employment agreement with Mr. Allen. In connection with the transaction, we have also issued a warrant to our financial advisor in the amount of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. The merger agreement provides that until the secured note is paid in full, Mr. Allen has the right to designate a majority of the directors of True To Form. The merger agreement also provides Mr. Allen with limited registration rights related to the share consideration.

NUCAP(TM)

NuCap(TM), formerly called EKOR(TM), was developed jointly by scientists at the I.V. Kurchatov Institute, or Kurchatov, and members of the Euro-Asian Physical Society, or EAPS, both based in Moscow, Russia. EKOR(TM) was the brand name for a family of materials designed for long-term isolation of hazardous and radioactive materials. As a silicon-based elastomer, NuCap(TM)’s adhesive properties allow it to stick to a wide variety of wet or dry surfaces and materials. When applied, NuCap(TM) materials surround and immobilize radioactive or hazardous debris ranging from fine dust to large pieces of equipment and, in combination with their fire-resistant and water- proof properties, prevent such debris from migrating by water or as air-borne particles. NuCap(TM) materials also possess other highly desirable performance characteristics such as chemical resistance, fire resistance, heat resistance, and resistance to environmental aging and degradation from radiation. In addition to its unique combination of performance characteristics, NuCap(TM) comes in multiple product forms and can be applied using specified methods for waste-coating and encapsulation. We believe that this allows NuCap(TM) to be used as a solution for a broad spectrum of nuclear and hazardous waste management problems.

The NuCap(TM) product family’s performance characteristics and flexibility of form make it a tool for a broad spectrum of applications. There are currently five basic forms of NuCap(TM)

1.  
Sealer Plus, which can be sprayed to coat containers or cover contaminated surfaces;

2.  
Foam, which is pumped in a range of densities to fill crevices, ducts or pipes;

3.  
Grout, applied in a pour and mix method, which can be used to make shapes for shielding or to macroencapsulate items to form an unleachable monolith for transportation or disposal;

4.  
Matrix, applied in a pour and mix method, which can be used to microencapsulate radioactive or hazardous wastes to form an elastomeric monolith for transportation or disposal; and

5.  
StoneStore, applied in a pour and mix method, which can be used to microencapsulate highly radioactive waste and will form a ceramic monolith for permanent disposal. StoneStore is still in the research and development stage.

In tests conducted at Kurchatov, NuCap(TM) has been shown to be highly resistant to radiation and structural degradation from exposure to radiation. It has also proven to be fire resistant, waterproof, and capable of being formulated in densities that display considerable structural strength and weight-bearing properties of 100 pounds per square inch.

MARKETING OF NUCAP(TM)

Eurotech described its efforts to market EKOR(TM) as it was called prior to our changing the name as well as the other technologies in its public filings. These descriptions are summarized in this report. NuCap(TM)’s acceptance into nuclear waste management has been slower than Eurotech anticipated. Eurotech has stated that it believes that significant technical issues remain, including those dealing with the residue from production of nuclear weapons and the disposal of nuclear fuel being discharged from nuclear power plants. With respect to residue from the production of nuclear weapons, the technical issues relate to the fact that the residue could take a number of forms (liquid, wet slurry, partially dried sludge, calcined salts, etc.) and have a variety of ph factors. The amount of waste that NuCap(TM) can effectively encapsulate differs depending on the form and ph factor of the waste. Thus, each project must be addressed separately, and sometimes we will need to develop the appropriate form of NuCap(TM) on a project-by-project basis. We do not believe, that this issue will be a significant obstacle for us, as we believe that the modification of NuCap(TM) is no longer as resource-intensive as previously expected and can be accomplished relatively efficiently, especially with our new manufacturing partners. For example, a sheet form of NuCap(TM) was recently developed by Global Matrechs for use in a project with INEEL. With respect to the technical issues that Eurotech had perceived with respect to the disposal of nuclear fuel being discharged from nuclear power plants, we do not intend to market NuCap(TM) for this purpose. We believe that NuCap(TM) is a
 
6

 
technologically advanced material that has properties that make it a superior cost effective and safer isolation technology even for some non-radioactive hazardous materials and a unique sealant for potential applications in the construction industry.

In 2001, Eurotech successfully replicated the formula for EKOR(TM) to make EKOR(TM) products in the United States. In March 2001, the EKOR(TM) family of products was presented to waste management professionals at the annual Waste Management Symposium in Tucson, Arizona. As a result of the interest generated at the symposium, Eurotech presented EKOR(TM) for use in a variety of applications at Department of Energy (“DOE”) sites to various waste management professionals. Specifically, Eurotech had discussions with the Savannah River Site (or SRS, near Aiken, South Carolina), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (or ORNL, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee), Fernald Closure Site (in Fernald, Ohio), Battelle Memorial Institute (or BMI, in Columbus, Ohio), Rocky Flats Environmental Testing Site (or RFETS, near Denver, Colorado), Los Alamos National Laboratory (or LANL, Los Alamos, New Mexico), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (or LLNL, Livermore, California), Hanford Reservation (Richland, Washington) and Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory (or INEEL, Idaho Falls, Idaho). Eurotech also had a number of meetings with DOE staff at their headquarters in Washington, D.C. and Germantown, Maryland. This included the introduction to companies doing project and management work at DOE and commercial sites, and had arranged demonstrations at the above mentioned facilities and at its production facility in California for staff from RFETS and ORNL. Early demonstrations of the Sealer product, as a solution that required mixing of a paste and catalyst and significant monitoring of specialized application equipment, revealed that the Sealer product needed further development to be more user-friendly. The Sealer product is a paste, with the consistency of thick brick mortar. While this thickness enables Sealer to be applied to vertical walls, tanks, drums, and ceilings, a sprayable version of Sealer, or even a thinner paste version that could be more easily applied, would be more user-friendly. To address this issue, Sealer Plus was developed, which Eurotech introduced in November 2001 and initially demonstrated at BMI in January 2002. Sealer Plus is a low viscosity version of EKOR(TM). Sealer that can be sprayed with high-pressure paint spray equipment. We seek to further develop Sealer to make the Sealer more easily applied in a foam consistency, which we believe will make Sealer more user-friendly. The demonstration of EKOR(TM) Grout at INEEL enabled Eurotech to demonstrate its ability to operate in an underwater environment. INEEL has certain components that are being stored underwater because of their behavior when exposed to air. Global Matrechs has prepared specially-requested samples for further testing at INEEL and Hanford Where Global Matrechs had a successful demonstration in April of this year.

During 2002, NuCap(TM) was selected as an approved waste stabilization material at multiple DOE sites. This selection meant that NuCap(TM) had passed the applications testing necessary to be judged usable on specific forms of waste at specific sites. For example, Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio, under a site decommissioning contract from the DOE, applied NuCap(TM) within a series of reactor drain pipes to immobilize residual radioactive contamination, to protect workers, the public and the environment during facility sectioning and disposal. NuCap(TM) is being considered by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a DOE national laboratory, to stabilize Alpha Dust in the H-Basin Fuel Pool, which could provide protection to workers during facility decommissioning. NuCap(TM) has been tested at the DOE Argonne National Laboratory to immobilize surrogate radioactive calcined waste and salts. Initial evaluations of NuCap(TM) is promising for applications in the area of High Level Waste Immobilization.

During 2003 and 2004, the Company manufactured a number of samples for potential customers in the European community. The Company is in the process of completing agreements with a commercial partner to manufacture, market and deliver NuCap(TM) to these potential customers.

We intend to market NuCap(TM) for use in nuclear waste encapsulation and nuclear debris fixation for nuclear cleanup projects, nuclear facility decontamination and decommissionings, and nuclear waste transportation and disposal. As part of this strategy, we intend to seek affiliations and joint ventures with large prime contractors in the nuclear industry on a project by project basis. While we see opportunities for NuCap(TM) and our other technologies, however, we can offer no assurance that our efforts will be more successful, or as successful as Eurotech’s efforts.

HNIPU

HNIPU is a hybrid polyurethane that does not involve the toxic isocyanates utilized in the production of conventional polyurethane and that has lower permeability and greater chemical resistance qualities as compared to conventional polyurethane. We believe that these advanced characteristics, in addition to the potential reduced risk from the elimination of isocyanates in its production, make HNIPU superior to conventional polyurethanes in connection with their use in a number of industrial application contexts such as manufacturing automotive components, paints, foams, plastics and truck bed liners; aerospace sealants, industrial adhesives, coatings, flooring, glues; industrial equipment and machinery; and consumer goods such as appliances, footwear, furniture and plastic products. Because of HNIPU’s lower permeability and improved chemical resistance, we think that industrial paints and coatings are a potential target market for HNIPU.

MARKETING OF HNIPU

On November 17, 2003, Global Matrechs entered into an agreement with Environmental Friendly Materials, GMBH (“EFM”), a German company, for the manufacture and sale of HNIPU for the European marketplace. EFM has been given non-exclusive license to manufacture and distribute HNIPU and intends to manufacture it at various locations across Europe. We have applied for approval to sell HNIPU in the United States from the EPA and if and when we are on their approved list of products we expect to complete another non-exclusive agreement for the North American territory.

Because HNIPU represents a new class of polymer compounds closely related to polyurethanes, we expect that a variety of products will emerge from the development of variations and improvements to the existing HNIPU binders that have worldwide industrial applications. For this reason, we intend to seek to license HNIPU to large industrial polymer and chemical manufacturers who can sell the various HNIPU binders to international industrial manufacturers. The focus will be to transfer the existing binder product technologies under licensing agreements from the laboratory to the manufacturer. We intend to follow up on existing agreements, current evaluations, and active discussion for HNIPU binder production.

EMR/AC

Eurotech licensed certain rights to Acoustic Core and Electromagnetic Radiography for specific markets, consisting of (i) illicit material detection, (ii) above surface or subsurface nuclear or other hazardous material remediation, (iii) marine dredging sites (inland and ocean) and (iv) oil exploration, from Trylon Metrics, Inc. pursuant to an agreement dated July 2001, as amended in October 2001. Eurotech licenses the illicit materials detection application to another company and licenses the remaining three applications to Global Matrechs.

Both technologies use a non-contact inspection methodology that creates signals that are then interpreted by a digital analyzer that allows identification of elemental or compound materials from their empirically determined properties. Acoustic Core is used in applications that are predominately wet (i.e., riverbeds, wetlands, etc.) and EMR is used in dry environments. Completed research and development studies have verified that Acoustic Core and EMR can identify materials by their acoustic or electromagnetic signatures, but the feature of these technologies that we believe is unique is their ability to map in three dimensions the existence of target materials at extremely low concentrations at depths of up to 300 feet. The capabilities of these technologies complement the NuCap(TM) product line by, for example, allowing tanks of waste to be monitored for leaks and the leaks, when discovered, targeted for repair. Acoustic Core and EMR may have applications in markets that involve subsurface evaluation, from contamination discovery and monitoring to resource discovery.

Both Acoustic Core and EMR have been tested at DOE sites (Oak Ridge and INEEL) on a variety of materials. Sandia National Laboratory conducted an in-depth evaluation of the science behind these technologies in 1999 and concluded that they provide a unique capability to identify and map in three dimensions low levels of material concentration at substantial depths. We believe that these products are more cost effective than other current methods. During the fourth quarter of 2001, Eurotech submitted several proposals to the DOE for evaluation of areas of potential contamination and to commercial entities being pressured by the EPA for potential subsurface contamination, but these technologies have not been selected for inclusion in currently funded programs to date.

MARKETING OF EMR/AC

In conjunction with the marketing of NuCap(TM), we intend to market EMR/AC(TM) to a variety of facilities requiring detection of nuclear waste contaminants and other environmentally hazardous substances in subsurface soil and ground water resulting from leaking storage tanks or toxic chemical spills. We are currently seeking a manufacturing partner for EMR/AC(TM), and we are waiting until we find such a partner to pursue our marketing strategy for EMR/AC(TM).

RAD-X

Rad-X is a technology intended for use as an interior fire-resistant fixative for equipment or facilities with contaminated surfaces. Rad-X differs from NuCap(TM) Sealer Plus in that it is not weather-resistant and does not have the chemical, radiation and aging resistance needed for long-term protection. Rad-X provides a low-cost fixative for surfaces that are scheduled for disassembly or dismantlement and need strong adhesion (glue-down of contaminated particles that could become airborne) and fire-resistance properties. Rad-X was first marketed in 2001.

MARKETING OF RAD-X

According to Eurotech’s public filings, Eurotech had invested less than $20,000 in the creation of the Rad-X product line. Rad-X was initially created for feasibility testing at DOE’s Rocky Flats Environmental Testing Site, or RFETS, and was delivered in late September 2001. Testing of Rad-X at other laboratories occurred in November 2001. This testing confirmed its fire and smoke resistance properties. We believe that Rad-X can satisfy proposed DOE fire/smoke criteria for certain specialized applications.

Eurotech has marketed Rad-X in connection with NuCap(TM) at DOE sites that performed decommissioning or hazardous material management in 2002, and if the opportunity arises, we will continue this strategy. We are currently seeking a manufacturing partner for Rad-X, and we are waiting until we find such a partner to pursue our marketing strategy for Rad-X.

RAPIDLY BIODEGRADABLE HYDROPHOBIC MATERIAL (“RBHM”)

RBHM is a new, hydrophobic (water resistant), strong, cheap, and completely biodegradable cellulose-based composite material. RBHM is intended to improve the properties of both paper and plastic packaging materials. The material can be used as a commodity in trade, industry, and agriculture for a wide range of applications. To date, most attempts to produce biodegradable products for consumers have focused on developing plastics that could biodegrade. RBHM takes a different approach - making cellulose-based material with the same physical properties as plastic, except the material biodegrades completely in the same time as regular paper bags. RBHM consists of cellulose (paper) and biodegradable organic additives. Biodegradation of RBHM occurs in wet soil through normal enzymatic action of various microorganisms - fungi and bacteria. We believe that the main advantages of RBHM are:

·  
Strength. RBHM’s strength characteristics, especially combined with low elongation and acquired water resistance of the material, make RBHM unique and desirable for packaging applications.

·  
Water Resistance. RBHM keeps water resistance for one week. Most of the existing biodegradable packaging products are not hydrophobic at all and will fail if wetted during use.

·  
Biodegradable Nature. Enzymes begin breaking down RBHM in the presence of moisture in natural environments such as soil. Then microorganisms decompose the material with rapidly occurring metabolic reactions. RBHM is completely converted into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass in two to three months in wet soil.

·  
Reproducible Natural Raw Materials. RBHM uses cellulose, a widely available and renewable raw material.

·  
Relatively Low Cost. The main obstacle to widespread use of biodegradable polymers has been cost. Biodegradable polymers are traditionally significantly more expensive than commodity polymers. The high costs involved in the production of biodegradable polymers means that they cannot compete favorably with conventional polymers. This high cost has deterred the widespread adoption of biodegradable plastics in major consumer applications. At an additional cost of less than 10%, and sometimes less depending on the type of material treated, materials treated with RBHM provide plastic-like performance and are biodegradable.

We believe that there is a large number of potential applications for a technology like RBHM. Because RBHM can be applied on sheets, films and fibers, it is suitable for a range of single-use products, including, among others, grocery and waste bags, the top, and back sheets of disposable diapers, and disposable eating utensils.

MARKETING OF RBHM

Eurotech had marketed RBHM through its web site during 2001 and 2002. We are currently seeking a manufacturing partner for RBHM, and we are waiting until we find such a partner to pursue our marketing strategy for RBHM, which will be through our website.

LIQUID EBONITE MATERIAL (“LEM”)

LEM is a synthetic liquid rubber with enhanced mechanical, permeability and anti-corrosive qualities as compared to conventional sheet rubber coverings. In laboratory testing, coverings made with LEM, as compared to conventional sheet rubber coverings, have displayed greater resistance to harsh chemicals such as acids, alkalis and benzene, and have been successfully applied to intricate and complex surfaces such as sieve meshing. Based on the physical and chemical properties of LEM, and on the basis of such tests, we believe that LEM coverings are capable of providing superior protection to small-diameter piping and to the intricate parts of pumps, fans, and centrifuge rotors. LEM can be applied to form surface coverings using standard coating techniques, including spraying and dipping.

MARKETING OF LEM

Eurotech had marketed LEM through its web site during 2001 and 2002. We are currently seeking a manufacturing partner for LEM, and we are waiting until we find such a partner to pursue our marketing strategy for LEM, which will be through our website.

FIRESIL(TM) - FIRE PROTECTION ORGANOMINERAL COATING - FIRE-STOP FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATION

Firesil(TM) is an environmentally compatible fire-stop material with good adhesion properties to hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces and exhibits strong fire resistance, thermostability, and water resistance characteristics.

MARKETING OF FIRESIL(TM)

We intend to market Firesil(TM) directly to corporations that are prospective candidates for sub-licensing the technology. Eurotech had Firesil(TM) tested by an accredited lab to ASTM protocol and it passed these tests. We are currently seeking a manufacturing partner for Firesil(TM), and will wait until we find such a partner to pursue a marketing strategy for Firesil(TM).

COMPETITION

The licensed technologies are targeted at highly competitive markets. Due to the nature and size of some of the markets and some of the projects for which the licensed technologies may be applicable, there are sometimes other competitors who may have significantly greater name recognition and greater financial and other resources than we do. Many of these competitors also have technologies that are very competitive with the licensed technologies. For example, NuCap(TM) is a composite material based on a silicone polymer that is different from other silicones produced by manufacturers such as GE Silicones and Dow Corning, but the products produced by those manufacturers compete with NuCap(TM). As another example, some of the major producers of polyurethanes used in coatings and finishes, sealants and adhesives, which products may compete with the HNIPU technology, include Akzo Nobel, Dow Chemical and Kansai.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

GENERAL

Many entities, including some developing technologies similar to ours, now have and may in the future obtain patents and other intellectual property rights that cover or affect products or services directly or indirectly related to the technologies that we license from Eurotech. In general, if a court determines that one or more of the licensed technologies infringes on intellectual property held by others, we would be required to cease infringing on intellectual property held by others, we would be required to cease developing or marketing those products or to obtain licenses to develop and market those products from the holders of the intellectual property, or to redesign those products in such a way as to avoid infringing the patent claims. If a competitor holds intellectual property rights, the entity might be predisposed to exercise its right to prohibit our use of its intellectual property in our products and services, thus impacting our competitive position.

There can be no assurance that we are aware of all patents and other intellectual property rights that the licensed technologies may potentially infringe. In addition, patent applications in the United States are confidential until the Patent and Trademark Office issues a patent and, accordingly, we cannot evaluate the extent to which the licensed technologies may infringe claims contained in pending patent applications. Further, it is often not possible to determine definitively whether a claim of infringement is valid, absent protracted litigation, which we may not have the resources to pursue.

We cannot estimate the extent to which we may be required in the future to obtain licenses with respect to patents held by others and the availability and cost of any such licenses. Those costs, and their impact on our financial position, could be material. Damages in patent infringement cases can also include a tripling of actual damages in certain cases. To the extent that we are required to pay royalties to third parties to whom we are not currently making payments, these increased costs of doing business could negatively affect our liquidity and operating results.

In addition, there may be entities developing and marketing technologies which infringe on patents and intellectual property rights held by us. Patent infringement claims are protracted and costly. We may not have the resources to adequately protect our intellectual property. Any expenditures to pursue intellectual property rights by us could negatively affect us.

NUCAP(TM) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

The Euro-Asian Physical Society (EAPS) has patented EKOR(TM) in the U.S., Russia, and other industrialized countries. On March 23, 1999, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued to EAPS Patent No. 5,886,060 on the process for manufacturing one of the EKOR(TM) compound variants. Pursuant to sub-license agreement, Eurotech became the exclusive global licensee of all right, title and interest (inclusive of all patent and other intellectual property rights now or in the future) in EKOR(TM). We are a licensee of Eurotech and have renamed the product NuCap(TM). We do not know if additional proprietary technology that we have developed relating to NuCap(TM) will prove patentable. We have applied for trademark protection for the mark “NuCap” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

HNIPU INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

U.S. Patent Number 6120905 for HNIPU network polymers and composites formed there from was issued on September 19, 2000. Patents for this technology have also been issued in Europe (EP 1088021, PCT WO 9965969) and Australia (4441099). These patents have been assigned to Eurotech. The method of synthesis of cyclocarbonates and nonisocyanate or hybrid nonisocyanate network polyurethanes is patent applied for in the United States, which application has been assigned to Eurotech. We are a licensee of Eurotech. As a regular part of our business activities, we intend to submit patent applications to protect our developed intellectual property, improvements and extensions, although we do not know whether any technologies that we develop will be patentable.

EMR/AC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

U.S. Patent Number 4,922,467 for Acoustic Detection Apparatus (Acoustic Core) was issued to David Caulfield on May 1, 1990 and subsequently assigned to Ocean Data Equipment Corporation. This patent was significantly improved, for which U.S. Patent Number 6,545,945 was issued on April 8, 2003. Electromagnetic Radiography technology has been protected under trade secret laws. The worldwide exclusive licensing rights to these technologies for the detection of nuclear and hazardous materials at nuclear remediation and marine dredging sites, and for oil exploration, were obtained by Eurotech and, except to the extent related to the illicit materials detection application of these technologies, were subsequently licensed to Global Matrechs.

RAD-X INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Eurotech had protected its interest in Rad-X by treating the formulation as proprietary property and entering into confidentiality agreements with its partners.

RBHM INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Rademate, an entity in which Eurotech is an investor, was issued U.S. Patent #6294265 for “Hydrophobic biodegradable cellulose-containing material” for RBHM on September 25, 2001. Rademate has one application with the Israeli Patent Office (126306), dated September 23, 1998, which is pending. Eurotech has licensed to us the intellectual property rights that it has in RBHM.

LEM INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Eurotech has acquired the intellectual property rights associated with U.S. Patent #6303683 (issued October 16, 2001) for Liquid Ebonite mixtures and coatings, and concretes formed therefrom and an application filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT/US99/16883) on July 26,1999 by Dr. Igor Figovsky, the inventor of these technologies. We are a licensee of Eurotech.

FIRESIL(TM) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Eurotech acquired the formula for Firesil(TM) from Dr. Figovsky, its inventor, in 2000. Eurotech terminated previously initiated patent applications and has elected to protect this formula as a trade secret. Eurotech owns the federally registered trademark “Firesil”. We are a licensee of Eurotech.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
The use of NuCap(TM) is subject to U.S. environmental safety laws and regulations pertaining to the safe use and containment of hazardous and nuclear waste. Based on the results of tests conducted by Eurotech, we believe that the NuCap(TM) compounds meet current applicable regulations for safe use, containment and storage of hazardous and nuclear materials. It is, however, possible that more stringent or different standards may be adopted or applied in the future that might influence the intended use for NuCap(TM) and it is also possible that the standards, if adopted or applied, may materially increase the cost to us of using NuCap(TM) compounds or prevent their use altogether. We are not aware of any other U.S. or foreign laws or regulations that significantly hinder the marketing, sale, or use of NuCap(TM) based materials.

The manufacture of HNIPU and operation of EMR/AC(TM) equipment is not expected to be impacted adversely by government regulations. HNIPU’s MSDS identifies the limited risks associated with the manufacture, handling and application of the non-isocyanate polyurethane. OSHA outlines operational regulations as related to acoustic frequencies and power levels as might be applied to EMR/AC(TM) operations. We have currently applied to the EPA for approval of HNIPU to be sold in the United States.

The manufacture and use of HNIPU is subject to U.S. environmental safety laws and regulations pertaining to the safe use of chemicals and polymeric materials. While HNIPU does not use highly toxic compounds like isocyanates, it is still subject to governmental regulations, but based on preliminary assessments by Eurotech we believe that HNIPU compounds will meet current
 
11

 
and future regulations. If we are successful in licensing various HNIPU binders to chemical and polymer manufacturers, we expect that the licensees will bear the costs of applying for governmental approvals required for manufacturing and industrial usage. We are not aware of any other U.S. or foreign laws or regulations that significantly hinder the marketing, sale, or use of HNIPU based materials.

ITEM 6.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

On April 15, 2005, the Company’s management, in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s historical financial information related to fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2003 and for the first three fiscal quarters of 2004 accounted incorrectly for certain convertible preferred stock instruments. In lieu of amending our previously filed annual and quarterly reports covering these periods, the Company has restated its selected financial data for the five years ended December 31, 2004 and has restated its quarterly financial data for the 2003 and 2004 interim quarters to reflect the following changes:

RESTATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements reflect the following restatements:

Preferred Series

When issued in 1999 and 2000, the Preferred Series B, C, D and E (among other provisions) were mandatorily convertible at predetermined dates and had floating conversion terms which resulted in a variable number of shares that could be issued if they were converted. Since the Company could not conclude that it had enough authorized and unissued shares to settle these Preferred Series
 
13

 
due to the absence of a cap on the number of shares that could be issued upon conversion (and thus the number of shares that could be issued was outside the control of the Company). Pursuant to Accounting Series Release No. 268 the Company has reclassified Preferred Series C, D, and E shares from equity to temporary equity at redemption value. When these series were issued, the redemption values were recorded in shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2001, an adjustment of $4,441,595 was recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity.

Derivative Conversion Feature

In November 2000, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached final consensuses on EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Determination of Whether Share Settlement is Within the Control of the Issuer.” EITF 00-19 addressed and clarified whether specific equity contract provisions or other circumstances cause these contracts to be within or outside the control of the issuer. Permanent equity contracts that were issued prior to September 20, 2000, and classified as permanent equity must meet certain criteria or be re-classified as assets, liabilities or temporary equity on June 30, 2001.

EITF 00-19 also required the application of FAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and the bifurcation of the derivative conversion feature embedded in the Preferred shares. The fair value of derivative conversion feature as of June 30, 2001 was $1,043,650. Under EITF 00-19, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $1,043,650 ($0.11 loss per basic and diluted per share) for the change in accounting principle.

FAS 150

The terms of the above-mentioned Preferred Series contained an unconditional obligation whose value could be settled with a non-capped variable number of shares, and accordingly was subject to FAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” effective as of July 1, 2003. This required that these shares be reported as current liabilities in the restated consolidated balance sheet. Preferred Series G stock was not subject to FAS 150, and had been reclassified as temporary equity in the restated financial statements. The Company had implemented FAS 150 in its original filing, reporting a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In consideration of the implementation of EITF 00-19, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle impact in the accompanying restated financial statement is zero.

On August 14, 2004, the mandatory conversion rights of Series B, C, D and E Preferred Stock were terminated. At that time, these liabilities were reclassified to temporary equity.

Subsequent Accounting

All increases to the stated value of the above-mentioned Preferred Series are recorded as a deemed preferred stock dividend for periods prior to the implementation of FAS 150, and interest expense for all periods after the implementation of FAS 150.

Waiver and Overaccrual of Penalties

Effective March 13 and 14, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of Series B, C, D and E Preferred shares which waived any amounts due and owing in respect of penalties resulting from the Company’s failure to have available a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock for conversion and waived any default by the Company in respect of registration rights. Accordingly, the previously recorded accrued penalties were reversed during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a “recovery of deemed preferred stock dividend”.

The Company had erroneously continued to accrue penalties. For the period March 14, 2003 (and March 13, 2003 for Series B) through June 30, 2003, these penalties were originally reported as a deemed preferred stock dividend of $159,596. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of these deemed preferred stock dividends. When the Company adopted FAS 150, effective July 1, 2003, all penalties were reported as interest expense. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of $718,183 of previously reported interest expense.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share applicable to common shareholders was calculated according to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Due to the net loss position of the Company for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 2004, the numerator and denominator was the same for both basic and diluted loss per share.

Series B, C, D Preferred shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis for the period commencing with the expiration of the mandatory conversion date and the date that the mandatory conversion was extended, as if the shares had been issued and outstanding because the Company could not conclude that it had enough authorized and unissued shares to settle these Preferred Series due to the absence of a cap on the number of shares that could be issued upon conversion, thus the number of shares that could be issued was outside the control of the Company. Series B Preferred shares had a mandatory conversion date of March 25, 2002. On March 13, 2003, the mandatory conversion date was extended to March 31, 2004. Series C Preferred shares had a mandatory conversion date of July 22, 2002 and on March 14, 2003, the mandatory conversion date was extended to March 31, 2004. Series D Preferred shares had a mandatory conversion date of September 28, 2002, and March 14, 2003, the mandatory conversion date was extended to March 31, 2004. Series E Preferred shares had a mandatory conversion date of April 14, 2003, and on March 14, 2003 was extended to March 31, 2004.

During 2002, 199,688,352 shares and during 2003, 16,820,981 shares that could be issued upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Shares were considered as outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Options and warrants to purchase 518,241 and 483,241 shares of common stock at December 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share as their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

Warrants

The fair values of the warrants issued in connection with the convertible promissory notes (described in Note 13) were originally recorded as credits to additional paid-in capital $684,810, and debits to unamortized note discount (up to the amount of the proceeds received), and prepaid expense (representing the value of the warrants in excess of the proceeds received). Both the prepaid expense and unamortized discount were amortized to interest expense over the lives of the notes. In this amended filing, the accounting for the warrants has been restated to (a) expense the value of the warrants in excess of the proceeds received (i.e., write-off the prepaid expense), (b) reduce interest expense for the reversal of the amortization of the prepaid expense, (c) record the fair values of the warrants as a long-term liability, and (d) record the changes in the fair values of the warrants from their issue dates to the balance sheet date in current income under the caption “change in fair value of warrants.”

The fair value of warrants that were outstanding on and after the effective date of EITF 00-19, were not considered material to the financial statements.

In addition, in the financial statements included with this annual report on Form 10-KSB, we have provided restated financial information for each of the affected periods presented. The following selected financial data of Global Matrechs, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, as well as the other portions of this section.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES. This section discusses certain critical accounting policies that we consider important to our financial condition and results of operations, and that required significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in application. Our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies discussed in this section, are summarized in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of products related to our licensed technology is recognized upon shipment of the product provided that title passes, the price is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is probable.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

GENERAL

Except for historical information contained herein, some matters discussed in this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward looking statements include, but may not be limited to, those statements regarding the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. The Company notes that a variety of risk factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements including, among other things, our ability to obtain additional financing, the commercial viability of the technologies that we license from Eurotech, our ability to market these technologies, and other factors discussed in this report and in our other securities filings.

On May 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its remaining Internet business to Tulix Systems, Inc. (“Tulix”), a company in which Gia Bokuchava, Nino Doijashvili and Timothy R. Robinson, who were officers and directors of the Company, are officers, directors and founding shareholders. With the consummation of this Purchase Agreement the Company has completely exited from all Internet related enterprises.

The Company is currently operating in two major segments. These segments are defined as the Licensed Technologies Division, which consists of the marketing of the technologies licensed from Eurotech, and the Specialty Lighting Division, which consists of the design, development, manufacture and sales of specialty lighting and architectural products acquired in the merger with True To Form, Limited. The Company is targeting the pursuit of the Homeland Securities market with both segments.

On May 22, 2003, we completed a transaction with Eurotech pursuant to which we now license NuCap(TM) (formerly called EKOR(TM)), HNIPU, EMR/AC, Rad-X, Firesil, LEM and RBHM technologies from Eurotech. We intend to use these licenses to derive revenue by partnering with other technology firms to sell raw materials to producers or to sublicense the technologies and collect royalties and/or licensing fees.

On December 31, 2004 we acquired True To Form, Limited. As a result of the merger, True To Form is now our wholly owned subsidiary. True To Form designs, develops, manufactures and sells specialty lighting products to targeted segments of the traditional lighting industry and has recently established a division that will focus on the homeland security market. True To Form markets “high-end” lighting and architectural products for both commercial and residential applications, including pendants, surface and ceiling luminaries, table and floor lamps, commercial down-lights, bath fixtures, and custom fixtures.

Our revenues and operating results have varied substantially from period-to-period, and should not be relied upon as an indication of future results.

General and administrative expenses increased from $325,281 in 2003 to $1,273,929 in 2004. The General and administrative costs for 2003 represent a partial year, whereas the 291% increase in expenditures for 2004 represent the cost of a full years operations. Much of the increase is the cost of professional services for legal and promotional firms.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Amortization was $197,244 in the year ending December 31, 2004 and $115,059 in the year ending December 31, 2003. The 71.4% increase is due to a full year of amortization of the value of the licensed technologies, and the amortization of the beneficial conversion features of the loans taken during the second and third quarter.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the year ending December 31, 2004 consisted of $34,072 in interest expense on various loans, $212,617 in interest charges on the Series B, C, D and E preferred stock, $1,030,646 of amortization of beneficial conversion feature associated with various convertible loans and $344,185 of interest expense related to the amortization of warrants associated with various convertible loans.

OTHER INCOME. Other income for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $211,395 and $91,826 respectively. This income predominantly consists of the settlement of accrued expenses which were settled for less than the amount which had been estimated.

OTHER EXPENSES. Other expenses for the year ending December 31, 2004 consisted of $29,534 due to the change in fair value of the derivative conversion feature and $57,637 due to the change in fair value of our warrants. Other expenses for the year ending December 31, 2003 consisted of $98,678 due to the change in fair value of the derivative conversion feature.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. The company recorded net income of $94,363 and $176,008 in the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, for its discontinued Internet Services unit. The decrease was due to the sale of the internet unit closing on May 31, 2004, less than half-way through the year.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AS COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003

REVENUES. Revenues for the Licensed Technologies division were $8,246 for the year ending December 31, 2003. Revenues consisted of $7,801 for the sale of RAD-X and $445 for the sale of EKOR(TM). The Licensed Technologies unit did not begin operation until the first quarter of 2003.

22

 
SALES AND MARKETING. The Company ceased all sales and marketing efforts related to our Internet Services Division in 2001. There were no such expenditures in 2002 or 2003. As of the end of 2003 there have been no expenditures for sales and marketing related to the Licensed Technologies Division.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. The Company ceased all product development efforts related to our Internet Services Division in 2001. There were no such expenditures in 2002 or 2003. As of the end of 2003 there have been no expenditures for product development related to the Licensed Technologies Division.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses include salaries for administrative personnel, insurance and other administrative expenses, as well as expenses associated with maintaining the corporation’s records and reporting in compliance with its status as a public corporation. General and administrative expenses increased from $187,449 in 2002 to $325,281 in 2003. The increase is due to the additional expenses associated with the launch of the Licensed Technologies Division.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. With the write down of the carrying value of all fixed assets in the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company has suspended depreciation of its remaining assets in anticipation of a sale. Amortization expense of $115,059, which represents seven months of amortization of the intangible Licensed Technologies, was recognized in the year ending December 31, 2003.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the year ending December 31, 2003 consisted of $10,668 in interest expense on the notes related to the Licensed Technologies Division, $149,431 in interest charges on the Series B, C, D and E preferred stock.

Other income for the year ending December 31, 2003 consisted of $4,597 in interest earned on money market accounts, $18,388 in the reversal of accruals related to defaults on the lease for our Atlanta offices during the first quarter of 2001, and $68,841 in the reversal of accruals related to defaults on leases of capital equipment during the third quarter of 2001 which were resolved at a lower cost than estimated.

OTHER EXPENSES. Other expenses for the year ending December 31, 2003 consisted of $98,678 due to the change in fair value of the derivative conversion feature. Other expenses for the year ending December 31, 2002 consisted of $92,674 due to the change in fair value of the derivative conversation feature.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. The company recorded net income of $176,008 in the year ending December 31, 2003 for its discontinued Internet Services unit. This compares to net income of $118,001 in the year ending December 31, 2002. This increase of $58,007 was due primarily to growth in hosting revenue due to Roadrunner, and reductions in the cost of internet network services.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

GENERAL

Our sources of capital are extremely limited. We have incurred operating losses since inception and as of December 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $30,361,748 and a working capital deficit of $2,780,402.

On September 30, 2003, we entered into a private equity credit agreement with Brittany Capital Management LLC under which we had an option to issue and sell to Brittany up to $10,000,000 of our common stock over three years. In connection with this agreement, we filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities Exchange Commission to register 25,651,000 shares of our common stock for resale by Brittany and Econ Investor Relations. However, the registration statement was not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In December 2004, the private equity credit agreement terminated in accordance with its terms, and we withdrew the registration statement.

In June 2004 we entered into a second exchange agreement with Brittany to acquire certain of their shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share. On September 22, 2004, we issued 490.5 shares of our Series I convertible preferred stock to Brittany in exchange for Brittany’s surrender of 4,905,000 shares of our common stock. In addition Brittany agreed to loan us $100,000 under a convertible note. As of December 31, 2004 we had borrowed $75,000 under this agreement.

23

 
On October 19, 2004, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Southridge Partners LP. Southridge purchased a nonnegotiable 2% secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 and we issued it a warrant to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. On October 21, 2004, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Dean M. DeNuccio. Mr. DeNuccio purchased a nonnegotiable 2% secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $25,000 and we issued to Mr. DeNuccio a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. On November 5, 2004, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Colonial Fund, LLC. Colonial purchased a nonnegotiable 2% secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $50,000 and we issued it a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Each of these promissory notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 and each of the warrants are exercisable for $0.025 per share of our common stock. The promissory notes mature in two years and the warrants expire in five years. Should our common stock fall below $0.03 cents for ten consecutive trading days, any holder of these notes may force prepayment at 140% of the principle amount plus interest. Conversion and exercise rights are restricted in that any of these note or warrant holders may not at any time have beneficial ownership of more than 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

On October 22, 2004 and November 5, 2004, Global Matrechs, Inc.,entered into securities purchase agreements with Dean M. DeNuccio and Colonial Fund LLC relating to the private placement of 2% secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 with a maturity of two (2) years and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.025 per share, which expire in five years in exchange for aggregate consideration equal to the principal amount of the Notes. The Company received approximately $70,000 in proceeds after deducting offering expenses.

The Notes are convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Each Purchaser may require the Company to repurchase some or all of its Note if the market price of the common stock of the Company falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount of the Note.

On December 3, 2004, the Company and Deer Creek Fund, LLC entered into a securities purchase agreement relating to the private placement of a 2% secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000 with a maturity of two (2) years and a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.025 per share, which expires in five years. The Company has received approximately $45,000 in net proceeds after deducting offering expenses.

The Note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. The holder of the Note may require the Company to repurchase some or all of its Note if the market price of the common stock of the Company falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount being repurchased.

We can provide no assurance that the financing sources described above, or any other financing that we may obtain in the future (if we are able to obtain financing from any other sources, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain any such financing), will enable us to sustain our operations. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming we are a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 1 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of recently issued accounting standards and their expected impact on our consolidated financial statements.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE PERFORMANCE
 
Our business, as currently constituted, has limited operating history. Therefore, we may not be able to accurately forecast future results and operating losses in future periods could be greater than expected.

On May 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its remaining Internet business, which had been in operation since 1994, to Tulix Systems, Inc. (“Tulix”), a company in which Gia Bokuchava, Nino Doijashvili and Timothy R. Robinson, who were officers and directors of the Company, are officers, directors and founding shareholders. We did not begin to focus on our licensed technologies business until May 22, 2003 when we completed a transaction with Eurotech, Ltd. Thus, our current business has a limited operating history. As a result, it is difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and we lack meaningful historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses. We may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely enough manner to
 
24

 
compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Conversely, we might not be able to respond effectively to an unexpected increase in sales activities, should one occur. This inability could cause our net losses in a given quarter to be greater than expected.
 
We have a history of operating losses, and there is no assurance that we will achieve profitability in the future.

We have a history of operating losses. If we continue to experience operating losses, an investment in our common stock is at risk of being lost. We cannot predict when, or if, we will ever achieve profitability. As of December 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $30,361,748.
 
We have a going-concern qualification in the report by our registered independent public accounting firm for our financial statements for the year ended december 31, 2004, which may make capital raising more difficult and may require us to scale back or cease operations, putting our investors’ funds at risk.

The report of our registered independent public accounting firm dated May 10, 2005 includes a going-concern qualification, which indicates an absence of obvious or reasonably assured sources of future funding that will be required by us to maintain ongoing operations. If we are unable to obtain additional funding, we may not be able to continue operations. To date, we have funded our operations through sales of equity and issuances of debt. Additionally, as of December 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $30,361,748 and a working capital deficiency of $2,780,402. We may be unable to meet our future obligations unless additional funding sources are obtained.
 
We may be unable to obtain additional capital required to fund our operations and finance our growth.
 
The continued development of our current technologies or acquisitions of new technologies will require additional capital. We incurred net losses of $556,798 and $2,998,429 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, respectively. We may be unable to obtain additional funds in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, which would render us unable to fund our operations or expand our business. If we are unable to obtain capital when needed, we may have to restructure our business or delay or abandon our development and expansion plans. Although we have been successful in the past in obtaining financing for working capital and capital expenditures, we will have ongoing capital needs as we expand our business. If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible securities, your ownership percentage of our common stock will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of our common stock. We may have to issue securities that have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. The terms of any additional indebtedness may include restrictive financial and operating covenants that would limit our ability to compete and expand.
 
The management of our finances and the quality and timeliness of our financial reporting may be adversely affected if we are unable to increase the size and capabilities of our internal administrative and finance function as our business grows.

We have engaged an outside accounting firm (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) to provide financial management and accounting services on a temporary basis. If we are unable to continue to obtain sufficient financial management and accounting services on a cost-effective basis, our ability to effectively manage our finances and the quality and timeliness of our financial reporting could be adversely affected.
 
If we fail to realize some or all of the of the anticipated benefits from our acquisition of true to form, our business will suffer.

Our combined company may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits and synergies of the transaction as a result of, among other things, lower than expected revenues for True To Form, unanticipated costs, deterioration in the U.S. economy as a whole or the commercial lighting industry in particular, and other factors. In addition, the integration of True to Form’s business and operations with those of Global Matrechs may take longer than anticipated, may be more costly than anticipated and may have unanticipated adverse effects on Global Matrechs existing strategic focus.
 
We face intense competition, which could result in lower revenues and higher research and development expenditures and could adversely affect our results of operations.

If we do not develop or acquire new and enhanced products, or if we are not able to invest adequately in our research and development activities, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted. Many of our competitors have significantly more cash and resources than we have. Our competitors may introduce products that are competitively
 
25

 
priced, have increased performance or functionality, or incorporate technological advances that we have not yet developed or implemented. To remain competitive, we must continue to develop, market and sell new and enhanced systems and products at competitive prices, which will require significant research and development expenditures.
 
If we cannot effectively manage our growth, our business may suffer.

Recently, we have expanded our operations to pursue existing and potential new market opportunities. This growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a strain on our personnel, management, financial and other resources. To manage our growth effectively, we must, among other things:

·  
successfully attract, train, motivate and manage a larger number of employees for sales and customer support activities;
·  
control working capital requirements; and
·  
improve the efficiency of our operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems, procedures and controls.

If we fail to manage our growth properly, we may incur unnecessary expenses and the efficiency of our operations may decline.
 
We may be unable to hire and retain the skilled personnel we need to expand our operations.

To meet our growth objectives, we must attract and retain highly skilled technical, operational, managerial and sales and marketing personnel. If we fail to attract and retain the necessary personnel, we may be unable to achieve our business objectives and may lose our competitive position, which could lead to a significant decline in net sales. We face significant competition for these skilled professionals from other companies, research and academic institutions, government entities and other organizations.
 
Our success depends on the services of our executive officers and key employees.

We depend upon the continued services of our senior management for our continued success. The loss of any member of senior management could have a serious negative impact upon our business and operating results. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to retain our senior management or other key personnel.
 
Our business may suffer if we cannot protect our proprietary technology.

Our ability to compete depends significantly upon our trade secrets and our other proprietary technology. The steps we have taken to protect our technology may be inadequate to prevent others from using what we regard as our technology to compete with us. Existing trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws offer only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary technology to the same extent as the laws of the United States, which could increase the likelihood of misappropriation. Furthermore, other companies could independently develop similar or superior technology without violating our intellectual property rights. Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competing technology could seriously harm our competitive position, which could lead to a substantial reduction in net sales.

If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome, disruptive and expensive, distract the attention of management, and there can be no assurance that we would prevail.
 
Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property rights could harm our business and financial condition.

Our industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that our products do not and will not infringe issued patents, patents that may be issued in the future, or other intellectual property rights of others.

We do not conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies.

We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. Any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of our management. If any of our products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages. In addition, we may be required to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses from third parties to continue to offer our products. Any efforts to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not
 
26

 
be successful, which would prevent us from selling our products, and, in any case, could substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
New corporate governance requirements are likely to increase our costs and make it more difficult to attract qualified directors.

We face new corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules adopted by the SEC. We expect that these laws, rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these new requirements will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. We may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur significantly higher costs to obtain coverage. These new requirements are also likely to make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as members of our board of directors or committees of the board, particularly the audit committee.
 
We are not subject to the same corporate governance standards as listed companies, including without limitation, the requirement that we have a majority of independent directors.

Registered exchanges and the Nasdaq National Market have enhanced corporate governance requirements that apply to issuers that list their securities on those markets. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which does not have comparable requirements. For instance, we are not required to have any independent directors or to adopt a code of ethics.

Currently, we have no independent directors and therefore management has significant influence over decisions made on behalf of the stockholders. In certain circumstances, management may not have the same interests as the stockholders and conflicts of interest may arise.

Furthermore, certain relationships with our officers, directors and affiliates may also involve inherent conflicts of interest. We do not have a policy to resolve conflicts of interest. Notwithstanding the exercise of their fiduciary duties as directors and executive officers and any other duties that they may have to us or our other stockholders in general, these persons may have interests different than yours.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors
Global Matrechs, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Matrechs, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Matrechs, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 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 experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows since its inception and has an accumulated deficit. The Company is dependent on continued financing from investors to sustain its activities and there is no assurance that such financing will be available. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.
 
The consolidated financials for the years 2004, 2003 and 2001 have been restated (see Note 1).

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION--GOING CONCERN

On May 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its remaining Internet business to Tulix Systems, Inc. (“Tulix”), a company in which Gia Bokuchava, Nino Doijashvili and Timothy R. Robinson, who were officers and directors of the Company, are officers, directors and founding shareholders. With the consummation of this Purchase Agreement the Company has completely exited from all Internet related enterprises. This segment is treated as a discontinued operation in all periods presented.

The Company is currently operating in two major segments. These segments are defined as the Licensed Technologies Division which consists of the marketing of the technologies licensed from Eurotech and the Specialty Lighting Division which consists of the design, development, manufacture and sales of specialty lighting and architectural products acquired in the merger with True To Form, Limited.

On May 22, 2003, we completed a transaction with Eurotech pursuant to which we now license NuCap™, HNIPU, EMR/AC, Rad-X, Firesil, LEM and RBHM technologies from Eurotech. Currently, we are licensing the EKOR, HNIPU, EMR/AC, Rad-X, Firesil, LEM and RBHM technologies from Eurotech, Ltd. We intend to use these licenses to derive revenue by partnering with other technology firms to sell raw materials to producers or to sublicense the technologies and collect royalties and/or licensing fees.

On December 31, 2004 we acquired True To Form, Limited. As a result of the merger, True To Form is now our wholly owned subsidiary. True To Form designs, develops, manufactures and sells specialty lighting products to targeted segments of the traditional lighting industry and has recently established a division that will focus on the homeland security market. True To Form markets “high-end” lighting and architectural products for both commercial and residential applications, including pendants, surface and ceiling luminaries, table and floor lamps, commercial down-lights, bath fixtures, and custom fixtures

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses since its incorporation, resulting in an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2004 of approximately $30.3 million. The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations and is dependent on continued financing from investors to sustain its activities. There is no assurance that such financing will be available. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
RESTATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements reflect the following restatements:

Preferred Series

When issued in 1999 and 2000, the Preferred Series B, C, D and E (among other provisions) were mandatorily convertible at predetermined dates and had floating conversion terms which resulted in a variable number of shares that could be issued if they were converted. Since the Company could not conclude that it had enough authorized and unissued shares to settle these Preferred Series due to the absence of a cap on the number of shares that could be issued upon conversion (and thus the number of shares that could be issued was outside the control of the Company). Pursuant to Accounting Series Release No. 268 the Company has reclassified Preferred Series C, D, and E shares from equity to temporary equity at redemption value. When these series were issued, the redemption values were recorded in shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2001, an adjustment of $4,441,595 was recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity.

Derivative Conversion Feature

In November 2000, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached final consensuses on EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Determination of Whether Share Settlement is Within the Control of the Issuer.” EITF 00-19 addressed and clarified whether specific equity contract provisions or other circumstances cause these contracts to be within or outside the control of the issuer. Permanent equity contracts that were issued prior to September 20, 2000, and classified as permanent equity must meet certain criteria or be re-classified as assets, liabilities or temporary equity on June 30, 2001.

EITF 00-19 also required the application of FAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and the bifurcation of the derivative conversion feature embedded in the Preferred shares. The fair value of derivative conversion feature as of
 
34

 
June 30, 2001 was $1,043,650. Under EITF 00-19, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $1,043,650 ($0.11 loss per basic and diluted per share) for the change in accounting principle.

FAS 150

The terms of the above-mentioned Preferred Series contained an unconditional obligation whose value could be settled with a non-capped variable number of shares, and accordingly was subject to FAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” effective as of July 1, 2003. This required that these shares be reported as current liabilities in the restated consolidated balance sheet. Preferred Series G stock was not subject to FAS 150, and had been reclassified as temporary equity in the restated financial statements. The Company had implemented FAS 150 in its original filing, reporting a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. In consideration of the implementation of EITF 00-19, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle impact in the accompanying restated financial statement is zero.

On August 14, 2004, the mandatory conversion rights of Series B, C, D and E Preferred Stock were terminated. At that time, these liabilities were reclassified to temporary equity.

Subsequent Accounting

All increases to the stated value of the above-mentioned Preferred Series are recorded as a deemed preferred stock dividend for periods prior to the implementation of FAS 150, and interest expense for all periods after the implementation of FAS 150.

Waiver and Overaccrual of Penalties

Effective March 13 and 14, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with the holders of Series B, C, D and E Preferred shares which waived any amounts due and owing in respect of penalties resulting from the Company’s failure to have available a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock for conversion and waived any default by the Company in respect of registration rights. Accordingly, the previously recorded accrued penalties were reversed during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a “recovery of deemed preferred stock dividend”.

The Company had erroneously continued to accrue penalties. For the period March 14, 2003 (and March 13, 2003 for Series B) through June 30, 2003, these penalties were originally reported as a deemed preferred stock dividend of $159,596. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of these deemed preferred stock dividends. When the Company adopted FAS 150, effective July 1, 2003, all penalties were reported as interest expense. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of $718,183 of previously reported interest expense.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share applicable to common shareholders was calculated according to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Due to the net loss position of the Company for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 2004, the numerator and denominator was the same for both basic and diluted loss per share.

Series B, C, D Preferred shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis for the period commencing with the expiration of the mandatory conversion date and the date that the mandatory conversion was extended, as if the shares had been issued and outstanding because the Company could not conclude that it had enough authorized and unissued shares to settle these Preferred Series due to the absence of a cap on the number of shares that could be issued upon conversion, thus the number of shares that could be issued was outside the control of the Company. Series B Preferred shares had a mandatory conversion date of March 25, 2002. On March 13, 2003, the mandatory conversion date was extended to March 31, 2004. Series C Preferred shares had a mandatory conversion date of July 22, 2002 and on March 14, 2003, the mandatory conversion date was extended to March 31, 2004. Series D Preferred shares had a mandatory conversion date of September 28, 2002, and March 14, 2003, the mandatory conversion date was extended to March 31, 2004. Series E Preferred shares had a mandatory conversion date of April 14, 2003, and on March 14, 2003 was extended to March 31, 2004.

During 2002, 199,688,352 shares and during 2003, 16,820,981 shares that could be issued upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Shares were considered as outstanding common shares and included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Options and warrants to purchase 518,241 and 483,241 shares of common stock at December 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share as their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

Warrants

The fair values of the warrants issued in connection with the convertible promissory notes (described in Note 13) were originally recorded as credits to additional paid-in capital $684,810, and debits to unamortized note discount (up to the amount of the proceeds received), and prepaid expense (representing the value of the warrants in excess of the proceeds received). Both the prepaid expense and unamortized discount were amortized to interest expense over the lives of the notes. In this amended filing, the accounting for the warrants has been restated to (a) expense the value of the warrants in excess of the proceeds received (i.e., write-off the prepaid expense), (b) reduce interest expense for the reversal of the amortization of the prepaid expense, (c) record the fair values of the warrants as a long-term liability, and (d) record the changes in the fair values of the warrants from their issue dates to the balance sheet date in current income under the caption “change in fair value of warrants.”

The fair value of warrants that were outstanding on and after the effective date of EITF 00-19, were not considered material to the financial statements.

In addition, in the financial statements included with this annual report on Form 10-KSB, we have provided restated financial information for each of the affected periods presented. The following selected financial data of Global Matrechs, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, as well as the other portions of this section.

ASSET IMPAIRMENT

The Company evaluates the recoverability and carrying value of its long-lived assets at each balance sheet date, based on guidance in SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. Among other factors considered in such evaluation is the historical and projected operating performance of business operations, the operating environment and business strategy, competitive information and market trends. The Company recognized a charge of $52,584 during the year ending December 31, 2002 for asset impairment.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets represent the technologies licensed from Eurotech and the Goodwill recognized in the purchase of True To Form, Ltd. The licenses were valued at $986,223 and are being amortized on a straight line basis over five years. The current intangible balance for the licenses is $673,919 which represents the original valuation less $312,304 amortized through December 31, 2004.

The Goodwill for True To Form was valued at $1,469,108. Acquired goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and accordingly is not amortized but subject to periodic impairment tests.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, subsequent to acquisition, after the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH FLOWS, CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, management considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Interest paid during 2004 and 2003 were $0 and $0 respectively. Income taxes paid during 2004 and 2003 were $0 and $0 respectively.

During the year ending December 31, 2004, the Company entered into the following non-cash investing and financing transactions:

Exchange of warrants for services rendered
$258,942
Issuance of common stock for services rendered
104,850

FURNITURE, FIXTURES AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over a 5 year life; computer equipment is depreciated over a 3 year life. Assets recorded under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the term of the related leases using the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale, retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss on the disposition is included in income.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value.

37

 
REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from the sale of products related to our licensed technology is recognized upon shipment of the product provided that title passes, the price is fixed or determinable and collection of the receivable is probable.

ADVERTISING EXPENSES

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. No advertising expenses were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 or 2004.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method as described by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”).

Under SFAS 109 the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets which are determined by management to be below the threshold for realization established by SFAS 109.

BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted loss per share are calculated according to the provisions of FAS 128. Due to the net loss position of the Company for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 2004, the numerator and denominator are the same for both basic and diluted loss per share.

FAS 128 provides for an as-if converted method when there is the absence of a cap on the number of shares that could be issued upon conversion. Series B, C, D Preferred shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis for the period commencing with the expiration of the mandatory conversion date and the date that the mandatory conversion was extended, as if the shares had been issued because the Company could not conclude that it had enough authorized and unissued shares to settle these Preferred Series due to the absence of a cap on the number of shares that could be issued upon conversion (and thus the number of shares that could be issued was outside the control of the Company).

The table below illustrates the calculation of the loss per share amounts attributable to continuing and discontinued operations applicable to common shareholders.

The Company has not declared or paid any dividends to the shareholders of the Preferred Stock. However, the Preferred Stock possesses conversion rights (the “Beneficial Conversion Feature”) that are analogous to dividends. Accordingly, the Beneficial Conversion Feature has been accounted for as a Deemed Preferred Stock Dividend. (See footnotes 7, 8, 9 and 10).

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“FAS No. 123R”). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is in process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets.” The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments.” The EITF reached a consensus about the criteria that should be used to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss and how that criteria should be applied to investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115, “ACCOUNTING IN CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES.” EITF 03-01 also included accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. Additionally, EITF 03-01 includes new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) delayed the accounting provisions of EITF 03-01; however the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual reports ending after June 15, 2004. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (as revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Implementation of the provisions of FIN 46 is effective for the first reporting period after March 15, 2004. FIN 46 requires the consolidation of entities that are controlled by a company through interests other than voting interests. Under the requirements of this interpretation, an entity that maintains a majority of the risks or reward associated with VIEs , also known as Special Purpose Entities, is viewed to be effectively in the same position as the parent in a parent-subsidiary relationship. The Company has determined that it has not created or entered into any VIEs that would require consolidation. The Company believes the adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 in the first quarter of 2004 will have no impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, “Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 149). This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The provisions of this Statement are effective for all derivatives and hedging activity that the Company enters into after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (SFAS No. 146), which addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supercedes EITF No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (EITF 94-3). The fundamental difference between SFAS No. 146 and EITF 94-3 is the requirement that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred rather than at the date an entity commits to an exit plan, which by itself, does not create an obligation that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS No. 146 also requires that the initial measurement of a liability be recorded at fair value. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with an early application encouraged. The adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company applies the intrinsic value method, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25), in accounting for employee stock-based compensation arrangements. The Company has included
 
39

 
the pro-forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Non-employee stock compensation arrangements are accounted for under FAS 123 and EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.”

Based on calculations using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the weighted average grant date fair value of options and warrants was $0, $0 and $0 in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The fair value has been estimated using the following assumptions used for grants in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively: no dividend yield for all periods; an expected life of 5 years for all periods; volatility of 110%, 110% and 110%; and weighted average risk free interest rates was not applicable.

The pro forma impact on the Company’s net loss per share had compensation cost for all of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been recorded at the date of grant based on the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 is shown below:

Intangible assets represent the technologies licensed from Eurotech and the Goodwill recognized in the purchase of True To Form, Inc. The licenses were valued at $986,223 and are being amortized on a straight line basis over five years. The current intangible balance for the licenses is $673,919 which represents the original valuation less $312,304 amortized through December 31, 2004. The Goodwill for True To Form was valued at $1,469,108. Acquired goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and accordingly is not amortized but subject to periodic impairment tests.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

On May 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its remaining Internet business to Tulix Systems, Inc. (“Tulix”), a company in which Gia Bokuchava, Nino Doijashvili and Timothy R. Robinson, who were officers and directors of the Company, are officers, directors and founding shareholders. With the consummation of this Purchase Agreement the Company has completely exited from all Internet related enterprises. This segment is treated as a discontinued operation in all periods presented.

The Company is currently operating in two major segments. These segments are defined as the Licensed Technologies Division which consists of the marketing of the technologies licensed from and the Specialty Lighting Division which consists of the design, development, manufacture and sales of specialty lighting and architectural products acquired in the merger with True To Form, Limited. The Company will commence reporting the income statement of True To Form the first quarter of 2005.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

FACILITIES LEASES:

As of December 31, 2004 the Company occupied approximately 550 square feet in one office building in Ridgefield, Connecticut on a lease that goes through September 2006. With the acquisition of True To Form we have added approximately 10,000 sq feet combined warehouse and offices. True to Form leases its warehouse and administrative offices located in Braintree, Massachusetts under a lease arrangement, which provides for, among other things, monthly base rental payments of approximately $3,500 through February 28, 2005 plus real estate taxes and insurance. The total rent expense under this arrangement was $61,063 and $58,850 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively.

Commencing in July 2003 and ending in July 2004 True to Form contracted for additional warehouse and light manufacturing space located in Sylmar, California under a lease, which provides for, among other things, monthly rental payments of approximately $875. The total lease expense under this arrangement for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $8,450. As of July 16, 2004 the Company had not renewed the lease but was continuing to occupy the space on a month to month basis.

As of March 26, 2004 we occupy approximately 7,000 square feet in one office building in Atlanta, Georgia under a lease expiring in October 2004. This facility serves as our headquarters and computer center. We have abandoned an office in New York City where we used to occupy approximately 3,400 square feet under a lease that expired in January 2003. On June 1, 2004 the Company was released from liability by Piedmont Ivy and Associates, the landlord, and Tulix Systems, Inc. for the approximately 7,000 square feet it had leased in Atlanta, Georgia. That lease, which had an expiration date of October 31, 2004, was transferred to, and assumed by Tulix Systems, Inc. as a part of the sale of the Internet Services Division.

As of December 31, 2003 we have an accrual for real estate disposition liabilities of approximately $81,317, which we believe will be sufficient to settle all obligations related to the closing and abandonment of our offices in New York.

Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $157,772, $177,825 and $ 49,776 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 respectively.

OPERATING LEASES:

The Company has entered into various operating leases for equipment, which expire at different times through May 2006; these leases call for, among other things, monthly rental payment of approximately $407.

The total equipment lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $5,547 and $8,751, respectively.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

On February 9, 2005 Global Matrechs, Inc, filed suit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Eurotech, Ltd. For its failure to fulfill its obligations under the license agreement between the parties dated May 22, 2003. The suit also seeks the enforcement of the notes issued by Eurotech to Woodward, LLC which were assumed by Global Matrechs in the exchange agreement between Global Matrechs and Woodward on January 31, 2005. The complaint seeks damages totaling $672,677 plus interest and attorney’s fees which are yet to be determined.

On April 13, 2005 Carey Naddell, CEO of Eurotech, Ltd., filed suit against the Company for damages based upon an alleged breach of a written service agreement. The Company has responded and feels at this time there is no merit to this action. We will diligently defend this action.

OTHER:

Various legal proceedings may arise in the normal course of business. Additionally, the Company’s software and equipment are vulnerable to computer viruses or similar disruptive problems caused by customers or other Internet users. Computer viruses or problems caused by third parties could lead to interruptions, delays or cessation in service to the Company’s customers. Moreover, customers of the Company could use computer files and information stored on or transmitted to Web server computers maintained by the Company to engage in illegal activities that may be unknown or undetectable by the Company, including fraud and misrepresentation, and unauthorized access to computer systems of others. Furthermore, inappropriate use of the Internet by third parties could also jeopardize the security of customers’ confidential information that is stored in the Company’s computer systems. Any such actions could subject the Company to liability to third parties. The Company does not have errors and omissions, product liability or other insurance to protect against risks caused by computer viruses or other misuse of software or equipment by third parties. Although the Company attempts to limit its liability to customers for these types of risks through contractual provisions, there can be no assurance that these provisions will be enforceable. Management does not believe that there are currently any asserted or unasserted claims that will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

6. EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE DEBT TRANSACTIONS

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classification and measurement in the statement of financial position of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires classification of a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and, otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For financial instruments created before the issuance date of this statement, transition shall be achieved by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by initially measuring the financial instrument at fair value.

Since the Series B, C, D, E and G Preferred Stock represent financial instruments that embody unconditional obligations that will be settled with a variable number of the Company’s common equity shares, based on a fixed monetary amount that was known at inception, the Company reclassified its Series B, C, D, and E Preferred Stock as a liability and initially reported a loss of $802,730 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the 2003 financial statements, beginning with the reporting period July 1, 2003 (the effective date of FAS 150). The restated financial statements reflected the adoption of EITF No. 00-19, effective as of June 30, 2001. With the adoption of EITF No. 00-19, the adoption of FAS 150 did not require a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

On August 14, 2004, the mandatory conversion rights of Series B, C D and E Preferred Stock were terminated. At that time, these liabilities were reclassified to temporary equity.

42

 
In accordance with the terms of the private placement agreements underlying our Series B, C, D, E, and G Preferred Stock, penalties accrue at the rate of 2% per 30 day period of the outstanding purchase price of the unregistered securities. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 150, these penalties were recorded as deemed dividends in the amounts of $637,572, $638,387 and $319,194 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 respectively. Since the adoption of SFAS No. 150, and for the period from July 1, 2003 until December 31, 2003, the Company has recorded $319,194 in interest expense related to the penalty and $150,273 in interest expense related to the required increase in stated value as called for in the conversion rate calculation of the Series B, C, D and E Preferred stock. On March 13, 2003 the holders of Series B, and on March 14, 2003, the holder of Series C, D and E preferred stock waived all penalties incurred.

Accordingly, the previously recorded accrued penalties were reversed during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a “recovery of deemed preferred stock dividend” of $1,527,171.

The Company had erroneously continued to accrue penalties. For the period March 14, 2003 (and March 13, 2003 for Series B) through June 30, 2003, these penalties were originally reported as a deemed preferred stock dividend of $159,596. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of these deemed preferred stock dividends. When the Company adopted FAS 150, effective July 1, 2003, all penalties were reported as interest expense. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of $718,183 of previously reported interest expense.

During 2004, the Company entered into a series of promissory notes, which are convertible into common shares, and have cashless warrants. See Note 13 to the financial statements.

7. ISSUANCE OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

The Company issued Series B Preferred Stock totaling $2,500,000 on March 25, 1999 (the “Issuance Date”). The Series B Preferred Stock investors were issued 125 shares of preferred stock, having a stated value of $20,000 per share, and 225,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $5.70 per share. The Company paid offering costs of $216,250 cash plus 25,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $5.70 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $2,283,750 for the preferred shares and warrants.

The Series B Preferred Stock bears no dividends and is convertible at the option of the holder at the earlier of 90 days after issuance or the effective date of a registration statement covering the shares. The warrants are exercisable at any time and expire five years from the date of issuance.

The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) the average of the closing price for four consecutive trading days in the twenty-five consecutive trading days ending one day prior to the conversion date ($4.86 at the Issuance date) and (b) $5.23. The number of common shares into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible is determined by dividing the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock, increased by 5% annually, by the conversion price. As the Series B Preferred Stock was to be automatically convertible on March 24, 2002, the most beneficial conversion ratio was determined to include the additional common shares attributable to the 5% annual increase for the three year period ending in 2002. After adjustment for this additional benefit the $4.86 conversion price is reduced to $4.23, the most beneficial conversion price at the Issuance Date.

In determining the accounting for the beneficial conversion feature, the Company first allocated the net proceeds of $2,283,750 to the preferred stock and the warrants based on their relative fair values at the Issuance Date, resulting in $1,766,217 assigned to the preferred stock and $517,533 assigned to the warrants as of March 24, 1999. The Company then allocated $899,284 of the Series B net proceeds to additional paid in capital for the beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature will be recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders over the minimum period in which the preferred shareholders can realize that return. Approximately $18,000 and $2,672 of the beneficial conversion was amortized in 2000 and 2001, respectively. During 1999, 10 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 63,317 shares of common stock. During 2000, 97.19 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 902,307 shares of common stock. During 2004, 5.36 share of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 5,598,298 shares of common stock.

The Company has the option to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock after 110 days for 120% of face value. Additionally, if the Company has issued common stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock such that 19.99% of the common stock outstanding is held by the preferred shareholders, the Company must obtain approval of the shareholders before any more preferred shares can be converted. If such approval is not obtained within 60 days of notice, the preferred shareholders may require the Company to repurchase the remaining Series B Preferred Stock at 120% of face value. Historically the Series B Preferred Stock was presented outside of permanent equity as the outcome of the shareholder vote, and possible redemption, was outside of the control of the Company.

43

 
In March of 2002, the outstanding shares of our Series B preferred stock were scheduled to convert automatically into shares of common stock, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations governing our Series B preferred stock; however, because we did not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon conversion of these shares of Series B preferred stock, no shares of Series B preferred stock were converted. On March 13, 2003, the holders of Series B preferred stock waived all penalties that were accruing as a result of the Company’s inability to convert the shares to common stock in March of 2002. On August 14, 2004, all mandatory conversion rights were terminated.

The restatement of the historical financial statements reflects the adoption of EITF No. 00-19 effective as of June 30, 2001. The adoption of EITF No. 00-19 recorded Series B preferred stock at redemption value. This resulted in an increase to the deemed dividend to Series B preferred stockholders in 2001, 2002 and 2003 of $153,757, 17,810 and $8,910, respectively.

Accordingly, the previously recorded accrued penalties were reversed during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a “recovery of deemed preferred stock dividend” of $43,720.

The Company had erroneously continued to accrue penalties. For the period March 13, 2003 through June 30, 2003, these penalties were originally reported as a deemed preferred stock dividend of $4,446. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of these deemed preferred stock dividends. When the Company adopted FAS 150, effective July 1, 2003, all penalties were reported as interest expense. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of $20,007 of previously reported interest expense.

8. ISSUANCE OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

On July 28, 1999, the Company completed a private placement of $3,500,000 principal amount of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) and warrants to acquire up to 59,574 shares of Common Stock (the “Series C Preferred Warrants”). The Series C Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $20,000 per share, which stated value increases at the rate of 6% per year (such stated value, as increased from time to time, is referred to as the “Series C Stated Value”). Each Series C Preferred Share is convertible, from and after 120 days following the date of issuance, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series C Stated Value by the lesser of (a) $5.875, and (b) 82.5% of the average of the closing bid prices for the five trading days preceding the date of conversion. Any Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on July 22, 2002 to automatically be converted into Common Stock at the conversion price then in effect.

In determining the accounting for the beneficial conversion feature, the Company first allocated the net proceeds of $3,323,748 to the preferred stock and the warrants based on their relative fair values at the Issuance Date, resulting in $3,170,904 assigned to the preferred stock and $152,844 assigned to the warrants as of July 27, 1999. The Company then allocated $1,678,505 of the Series C net proceeds to additional paid in capital for the beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature will be recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders over the minimum period in which the preferred shareholders can realize that return. Approximately $72,000 and $190 of the beneficial conversion was amortized in 2000 and 2001, respectively. During 1999, 37.5 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted into 281,460 shares of common stock. During 2000, 45.4 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted in to 802,056 shares of common stock. During 2001, 1.63 shares of Series C Preferred Stock was converted into 5,640,000 shares of Common Stock. During 2004, 20.38 share of Series C Preferred Stock were converted into 15,626,358 shares of common stock.

The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem, from time to time, any or all of the Series C Preferred Stock; provided that certain conditions are met, including the availability of cash, credit or standby underwriting facilities available to fund the redemption at 120% of the original purchase price.

In July 2002, the outstanding shares of our Series C preferred stock were scheduled to convert automatically into shares of common stock, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations governing our Series C preferred stock; however, because we did not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance upon conversion of these shares of Series C preferred stock, no shares of Series C preferred stock were converted. On March 14, 2003, the holder of Series C preferred stock waived all penalties that were accruing as a result of the Company’s inability to convert the shares to common stock in July of 2002. On August 14, 2004, all mandatory conversion rights were terminated.

The Series C Preferred Warrants expired on July 27, 2004 and had an exercise price of $7.34 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.

The restatement of the historical financial statements reflects the adoption of EITF No. 00-19 effective as of June 30, 2001. The adoption of EITF No. 00-19 recorded Series C preferred stock at redemption value. This resulted in an increase to the deemed dividend to Series C preferred stockholders in 2001, 2002 and 2003 of $565,585, 108,429 and $54,064, respectively.

44

 
Accordingly, the previously recorded accrued penalties were reversed during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a “recovery of deemed preferred stock dividend” of $239,987.

The Company had erroneously continued to accrue penalties. For the period March 14, 2003 through June 30, 2003, these penalties were originally reported as a deemed preferred stock dividend of $27,143. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of these deemed preferred stock dividends. When the Company adopted FAS 150, effective July 1, 2003, all penalties were reported as interest expense. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of $122,144 of previously reported interest expense.

9. ISSUANCE OF SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK

On September 28, 1999, the Company completed a private placement of $1,500,000 principal amount of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) and warrants to acquire up to 25,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Series D Preferred Warrants”). The Series D Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $20,000 per share, which stated value increases at the rate of 6% per year (such stated value, as increased from time to time, is referred to as the “Series D Stated Value”). Each Series D Preferred Share is convertible, from and after 120 days following the date of issuance, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series D Stated Value by the lesser of (a) $5.875, and (b) 82.5% of the average of the closing bid prices for the five trading days preceding the date of conversion. Any Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on September 22, 2002 was to automatically be converted into Common Stock at the conversion price then in effect.

In determining the accounting for the beneficial conversion feature, the Company first allocated the net proceeds of $1,423,750 to the preferred stock and the warrants based on their relative fair values at the Issuance Date, resulting in $1,387,477 assigned to the preferred stock and $36,273 assigned to the warrants as of September 28, 1999. The Company then allocated $642,084 of the Series D net proceeds to additional paid in capital for the beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature will be recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders over the minimum period in which the preferred shareholders can realize that return. Approximately $280,000 and $281,000 of the beneficial conversion was amortized in 1999 and 2000, respectively. During 2000, 73.7 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted into 589,573 shares of common stock. During 2004, .98 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted into 965,538 shares of common stock.

On August 14, 2004, all mandatory conversion rights were terminated.

The restatement of the historical financial statements reflects the adoption of EITF No. 00-19 effective as of June 30, 2001. The adoption of EITF No. 00-19 recorded Series D preferred stock at redemption value. This resulted in an increase to the deemed dividend to Series C preferred stockholders in 2001, 2002 and 2003 of $87,139, 1,550 and $775, respectively.

10. ISSUANCE OF SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK

On April 14, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of $2,127,000 principal amount of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) and warrants to acquire 66,667 shares of common stock (the “Series E Preferred Warrants”). The Series E Preferred Stock has an initial stated value of $20,000 per share, which stated value increases at the rate of 8% per year. Each Series E Preferred Share is convertible 120 days following the date of issuance, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Series E Stated Value by the lesser of (a) $3.53, or (b) 82.5% of the average of the closing bid prices for the five trading days preceding the date of conversion. Any Series E Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on April 14, 2003 were to automatically be converted into Common Stock at the conversion price then in effect. These provisions have now been waived by the holders of the Series E preferred stock (see note 15).

Pursuant to certain registration rights granted to the investors in the private placement, we are obligated to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to a minimum of 1,808,293 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series E Preferred Warrants. The Company is obligated to pay penalties if the Registration Statement is not filed and/or declared effective within the specified time periods. As of March 13, 2003, penalties were waived to the Series E Preferred Stock holders. On August 14, 2004, all mandatory conversion rights were terminated.

At any time after the issuance date, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem, from time to time, any or all of the Series E Preferred Stock; provided that certain conditions are met, including the availability of cash, credit or standby underwriting facilities available to fund the redemption. The redemption price will be calculated as (i) 105% of the original purchase price for the first 30 days following the issuance date; (ii) 110% of the original purchase price for the next 90 days thereafter and (iii) 120% of the original purchase price after 120 days from the issuance date.

In determining the accounting for the beneficial conversion feature, the Company first allocated the net proceeds of $1,855,426 to the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Warrants based on their relative fair values at the issuance date, resulting in $1,791,211 assigned to the Series E Preferred Stock and $64,215 assigned to the Series E Preferred Warrants as of April 14, 2000. The Company then allocated $1,059,347 of the Series E Preferred Stock net proceeds to additional paid in capital for the beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature will be recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders over the minimum period in which the preferred shareholders can realize that return. $1,058,656 had been amortized as of December 31, 2003.

The Series E Preferred Warrants expired on April 14, 2005 and had an exercise price of $3.35 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.

The restatement of the historical financial statements reflects the adoption of EITF No. 00-19 effective as of June 30, 2001. The adoption of EITF No. 00-19 recorded Series D preferred stock at redemption value. This resulted in an increase to the deemed dividend to Series C preferred stockholders in 2001, 2002 and 2003 of $626,927, 170,160 and $85,080, respectively.

Accordingly, the previously recorded accrued penalties were reversed during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a “recovery of deemed preferred stock dividend” of $1,239,333.

The Company had erroneously continued to accrue penalties. For the period March 14, 2003 through June 30, 2003, these penalties were originally reported as a deemed preferred stock dividend of $127,620. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of these deemed preferred stock dividends. When the Company adopted FAS 150, effective July 1, 2003, all penalties were reported as interest expense. The restated financial statements reflect the removal of $574,290 of previously reported interest expense.

11. EUROTECH TRANSACTION AND ISSUANCE OF SERIES F, G AND H PREFERRED STOCK

On May 22, 2003, the Company entered into a License and Exchange Agreement with Eurotech. Under the provisions of that agreement the Company issued two series of preferred stock in consideration for the licensing arrangement.

On May 22, 2003, the Company issued 13,500 shares of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share. Each Series F Share was convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock and has a stated value of $1,000 per share. The holders of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock have cancelled and surrendered their Series F Shares and have been subsequently issued shares of Series H Preferred Stock.

On September 30, 2003, the Company issued 13,500 shares of the Company’s Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share. Each Series H Share is convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock and has a stated value of $1,000 per share; provided, however, that no holder of Series H shares may convert Series H shares into shares of common stock if the aggregate

shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion (excluding, for purposes of the calculation, the unconverted Series H Shares).

On May 22, 2003, the Company issued 1,069 shares of the Company’s Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share. The Series G shares have a stated value of $1,000 per share. Each Series G Preferred Share is convertible, from and after 120 days following the date of issuance, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1,000 per share by a number equal to 82.5% of the average of the closing bid prices for the five trading days preceding the date of conversion. No holder of Series G Shares may convert Series G Shares into shares of common stock if the aggregate shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock following such conversion (excluding, for purposes of the calculation, the unconverted Series G Shares). The Series G Preferred Stock has no mandatory conversion date. In determining the accounting for the beneficial conversion feature, the Company allocated $986,223 to the preferred stock based on its relative fair value at the Issuance Date. The Company then allocated $153,413 of the Series G value to additional paid in capital for the beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature will be recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders over the minimum period in which the preferred shareholders can realize that return beginning on the date when the shares are first convertible. During 2003, the beneficial conversion of $153,413 was amortized.

12. ISSUANCE OF SERIES I PREFERRED STOCK

In June, the Company entered into a second exchange agreement with Brittany to acquire 5,640,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share. On September 24, 2004, Brittany received 490.5 shares of Series I convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company in exchange for 4,905,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Each share of Series I preferred stock has a stated value of $100 and is convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock; provided, however, that a holder of Series I preferred stock may not convert their shares if the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion (excluding, for purposes of this calculation, the unconverted shares of Series I preferred stock). In addition, Brittany agreed to loan the Company up to $100,000 . As of December 31, 2004, the Company had borrowed $75,000. See note 13.

13. ISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

On June 1, 2004, as part of the agreement to Issue Preferred Series I (see Note 12), the Company borrowed $75,000 from Brittany. Under the terms of the convertible promissory note, Brittany, at its option, can convert the note into 1,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.05 per share or 80% of fair market value, at the time of conversion. The Company allocated $60,000 to the beneficial conversion feature, to be amortized over a period of twenty-four months; the period in which the holder can convert. During 2004, the Company amortized $17,500 of the beneficial conversion feature to interest expense.

During September 2004, the Company restructured its borrowings from McNab into a convertible promissory note of $542,950. Under the terms of the convertible promissory note, McNab, at its option, can convert the note into shares of common stock at a price of $.05 per share or 80% of fair market value, at the time of conversion. The Company allocated $325,770 to the beneficial conversion feature, to be amortized over a period of twenty-four months; the term of the promissory note. During 2004, the Company amortized $81,443 of the beneficial conversion feature to interest expense.

On October 19, 2004, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Southridge Partners LP. Southridge purchased a nonnegotiable 2% secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 and we issued it a warrant to purchase 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. On October 21, 2004, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Dean M. DeNuccio. Mr. DeNuccio purchased a nonnegotiable 2% secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $25,000 and we issued to Mr. DeNuccio a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. On November 5, 2004, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Colonial Fund, LLC. Colonial purchased a nonnegotiable 2% secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $50,000 and we issued it a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Each of these promissory notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 and each of the warrants are exercisable for $0.025 per share of our common stock. The promissory notes mature in two years and the warrants expire in five years. Should our common stock fall below $0.03 cents for ten consecutive trading days, any holder of these notes may force prepayment at 140% of the principle amount plus interest. Conversion and exercise rights are restricted in that any of these note or warrant holders may not at any time have beneficial ownership of more than 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

On October 22, 2004 and November 5, 2004, Global Matrechs, Inc., entered into securities purchase agreements with Dean M. DeNuccio and Colonial Fund LLC relating to the private placement of 2% secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000 with a maturity of two (2) years and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of its common stock at an
 
47

 
exercise price of $0.025 per share, which expire in five years in exchange for aggregate consideration equal to the principal amount of the Notes. The Company received approximately $70,000 in proceeds after deducting offering expenses.

The Notes are convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Each Purchaser may require the Company to repurchase some or all of its Note if the market price of the common stock of the Company falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount of the Note.

On December 3, 2004, the Company and Deer Creek Fund, LLC entered into a securities purchase agreement relating to the private placement of a 2% secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000 with a maturity of two (2) years and a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.025 per share, which expires in five years. The Company has received approximately $45,000 in net proceeds after deducting offering expenses.

The Note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. The holder of the Note may require the Company to repurchase some or all of its Note if the market price of the common stock of the Company falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount being repurchased.

The beneficial conversion feature of these notes was valued at $912,500. Since the conversion is at the option of the holder, the value of the beneficial conversion feature was amortized to interest expense in full during 2004.

Each of the convertible notes issued on October 19, 2004, October 22, 2004, November 5, 2004 and December 3, 2004 contains a cashless warrant provision. The warrants expire 5 years from the date of the note. The cashless exercise provides that the holder may pay the exercise price associated with any exercise by having us withhold a number of shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise having a fair market value equal to the applicable aggregate exercise price. In the event such provision is used with respect to an exercise, the Company would receive no proceeds upon such exercise. The convertible notes carried 18,750,000 warrants, and were initially valued at $684,811. As of December 31, 2004, these warrants have been adjusted to their fair value of $742,448. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the fair value of the warrants increased by $57,637. Since the value of the warrants exceeds the proceeds received, the excess of $309,811 has been charged to interest expense during the period.

14. STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company’s Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s stockholders in September 1996 and amended in 2005. Shares of common stock may be sold or awarded to officers, key employees and consultants. On March 3, 1999 at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Stock Option Plan which increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan to 2,000,000 and in 2005 to 15,000,000 shares. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may be either (i) options intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) non-qualified stock options.

The options granted to purchase shares under the Stock Option Plan. The options vest 25% per year and expire ten years after the grant date. The exercise price of the options was at or above the fair market value of the stock on the grant date.

The Company’s Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s stockholders in September 1996. Shares of common stock may be sold or awarded to directors who are not officers or employees of the Company (“Non-Employee Directors”). The Company has reserved 300,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Directors’ Plan.

The Directors’ Plan provides for the automatic granting of an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock to each Non-Employee Director who is first appointed or elected to the Board of Directors. Also, each Non-Employee Director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. Furthermore, the Directors’ Plan allows the Board of Directors to make extraordinary grants of options to Non-Employee Directors.

15. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 31, 2004, the Company completed the sale of its remaining Internet business to Tulix Systems, Inc. (“Tulix”), a company in which Gia Bokuchava, Nino Doijashvili and Timothy R. Robinson, who were officers and directors of the Company, are officers, directors and founding shareholders. The Company recorded a loss on the sale of this business of $125,030 in the fourth quarter of 2003 and recorded an additional loss of $124,385 in the second quarter of 2004 for adjustments to the closing as provided for in the closing documents. With the consummation of this Purchase Agreement Global Matrechs has completely exited from all Internet related enterprises. The Company has removed the results of this discontinued operation from the continuing operations of the Company for all periods presented.

On December 31, 2004 we acquired True To Form, Limited for total consideration of $1.1 million, consisting of $500,000 in notes to be held by True To Form and guaranteed by its assets and 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction. The value of the shares was determined by using the average closing stock price of the two days before and after the public announcement of the transaction. The note is due in two payments with $100,000 due in 2005 and $400,000 due in 2010. The note accrues an interest rate of 8% per annum. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition of True To Form:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows, as of:

At December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $21 million which begin to expire in 2011. Realization of these assets is contingent on having future taxable earnings. In addition, certain stock transactions from 1997 through 2004 have resulted in ownership changes as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. As a consequence of these ownership changes, the utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is significantly limited. Based on the cumulative losses in recent years and the limitation on the use of the Company’s net operating losses, management believes that a full valuation allowance should be recorded against the deferred tax asset.

The difference between the expected income tax benefit and the actual tax benefit computed by using the Federal statutory rate of 35% is as follows:

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 31, 2005, we entered into a Second Securities Purchase Agreement with Southridge Partners LP, one of our existing investors, whereby we agreed to sell a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 and warrant to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to Southridge in exchange for its $250,000 investment. Under the terms of this purchase agreement, Southridge may, at its option, and at any time prior to July 1, 2005, purchase an additional note in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000, and otherwise on substantially the same terms as the note issued on January 31, 2005.

50

 
The note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Southridge may require us to repurchase some or all of its note if the market price of our common stock falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount of the note. In the event we default under the terms of the note, the entire outstanding principal (and any outstanding interest accrued thereon) shall become immediately due and payable, and the interest rate will rise to 18% per annum.

We have secured the payment of the notes with a subordinated security interest in our accounts, general intangibles, inventories, and other collateral. In addition, in the event we propose to register securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are required to notify Southridge in advance of such registration and, at its request (subject to limited exceptions), include the shares of our common stock underlying the note and warrant on the registration statement filed in connection with such registration (and assume any expenses associated therewith).

The warrant has an expiration date of January 31, 2010. It contains a cashless exercise provision whereby the holder may pay the exercise price associated with any exercise by having us withhold a number of shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise having a fair market value equal to the applicable aggregate exercise price. In the event such provision is used with respect to an exercise, we would receive no proceeds upon such exercise.

ENTRANCE INTO EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH WOODWARD LLC

On January 31, 2005, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with Woodward LLC pursuant to which we acquired promissory notes, and have accordingly assumed all rights pertaining thereto, issued by Eurotech Ltd. The notes are currently in default and have an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $290,000. The notes carry a default annual interest rate of 18% and are past due in their entirety. In exchange for these notes, we issued to Woodward a promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000.

Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, in the event we propose to register securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are required to notify Woodward in advance of such registration and, at its request (subject to limited exceptions), include the shares of our common stock underlying the note on the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, and assume any expenses associated therewith.

SOUTHRIDGE EXERCISES OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL NOTES AND WARRANTS

On March 2, 2005, Southridge Partners LP exercised its option to purchase an additional note and warrant under its Second Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection with such exercise, we issued to Southridge a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $175,000 and a warrant to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for its $175,000 investment. The note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Southridge may require us to repurchase some or all of its note if the market price of our common stock falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount of the note. In the event we default under the terms of the note, the entire outstanding principal (and any outstanding interest accrued thereon) shall become immediately due and payable, and the interest rate will rise to 18% per annum. The note matures on March 2, 2007

SOUTHRIDGE EXERCISES OPTION TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL NOTES AND WARRANTS

On April 11, 2005, Southridge Partners LP exercised its option to purchase an additional note and warrant pursuant to the Second Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection with such exercise, we issued to Southridge a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 and a warrant to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Southridge in exchange for its $125,000 investment. The note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Southridge may require us to repurchase some, or all, of its note if the market price of our common stock falls below $0.03 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, at a repurchase price equal to 140% of the principal amount of the note. In the event we default under the terms of the note, the entire outstanding principal (and any outstanding interest accrued thereon) shall become immediately due and payable, and the interest rate will rise to 18% per annum. The note matures on April 11, 2007.

DECISION TO RESTATE FINANCIALS

On April 15, 2005, the Company’s management, in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s historical financial information related to fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2003 and for the first three fiscal quarters of 2004 accounted incorrectly for certain convertible preferred stock instruments. As such, the management has concluded that the Company’s historical financial statements should no longer be relied upon. While the Company does not intend to amend its previously filed annual and quarterly reports covering the periods noted above, the Company has restated historical financial information for the periods required to be presented in this annual report on Form 10-KSB to reflect the correct accounting

treatment. The Company has also included in this annual report on Form 10-KSB five years of restated financial information highlighting the differences resulting from the application of the change in accounting treatment to its historical financial statements and restated selected quarterly information for 2003 and 2004.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were not effective as of December 31, 2004 based an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as further described below:

·  
Our historical financial information related to fiscal 2001 through fiscal 2003 and for the first three fiscal quarters of 2004 accounted incorrectly for certain convertible preferred stock instruments. As such, management has concluded that our historical financial statements should no longer be relied upon.

·  
We have restated historical financial information for the periods required to be presented in this annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended, to reflect the correct accounting treatment. We have also included in this report four years of restated financial information highlighting the differences resulting from the application of the change in accounting treatment to its historical financial statements.

Late Reports

Due to the significant commitment of Company time and resources required in connection with the review of our financial statements and the auditing of our 2004 financial statements, we did not timely file this annual report on Form 10-KSB or our quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Other Issues

The review also observed other issues that may have contributed to the misstatement. These issues relate to staffing, competence and segregation of duties in our accounting and financial reporting functions and insufficient analysis, documentation and review of the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles to significant non-routine transactions. We plan to address these issues by hiring additional personnel promptly after we raise additional financing.

Remedial measures

Management believes that at this time, in light of the recent addition of an outside consultant to assist with some of the highly technical issues relating to its capital structure, the risks associated with a lack of segregation of duties and limited staff have been largely mitigated. Management believes that additional progress in strengthening its controls and procedures will continue through the end of fiscal year 2005. Furthermore, management intends to hire an accounting professional to increase the our capabilities related to interpretive research into complex accounting issues promptly after we raise sufficient financing to permit it to do so. Finally, management will periodically reevaluate the situation, and as necessary, will put in place additional internal staff and controls to prevent a lack of discipline around policies and procedures in our administrative and financial matters.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As described above, management believes that our recent addition of an outside consultant to assist with some of the highly technical issues relating to our capital structure, we have significantly mitigated the risks associated with a lack of segregation of duties that had existed previously.

CODE OF ETHICS
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or controller, or other persons performing similar functions. We have been unable to adopt a code of ethics due to our limited financial resources and competing demands on our management.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company’s stock, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, the Company is not aware of any failure by its officers, directors, or greater than ten-percent owners to comply with all section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them during the year ended December 31, 2004.

However, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2004, Michael Sheppard, Randolph Graves and Mark Allen should have filed initial reports under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The reporting requirements are related solely to their elections and appointments, as applicable, as directors and/or officers of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND COMPENSATION POLICY

Pursuant to the Tulix Agreement, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Bokuchava, and Ms. Doijashvili, on the one hand, and Global Matrechs, on the other hand, have agreed to release one another from all claims arising out of the three executives’ respective employment with or separation from Global Matrechs, other than Global Matrechs claims arising out of the Tulix Agreement or arising out of any fraud, willful misconduct or criminal act. As such, the Company does not intend to pursue any claims against Mr. Robinson, Mr. Bokuchava or Ms. Doijashvili relating to the non-solicitation or non-competition provisions of their employment agreements. In addition, the Company does not believe that these individuals will be in competition with the Company, given that Tulix and the Company will operate in different industries.

Principal employees of the Company, including executive officers, are required to sign an agreement with the Company (i) restricting the ability of the employee to compete with the Company during his or her employment and for a period of eighteen months thereafter, (ii) restricting solicitation of customers and employees following employment with the Company, and (iii) providing for ownership and assignment of intellectual property rights to the Company.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS

We have closed an agreement with Tulix to sell substantially all of the assets used in our hosting and web site maintenance business to Tulix. Timothy R. Robinson, Gia Bokuchava and Nino Doijashvili, who were officers and directors of both HomeCom and Tulix, own all of the outstanding stock of Tulix.

We have also closed the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement and entered into the License Agreement with Eurotech. Dr. Graves (and formerly, Mr. Hahnfeldt), who was appointed to serve on the Board of Directors of HomeCom and as an officer of our new Licensed Technologies Division in connection with the transactions between HomeCom and Eurotech, is an officer, director and shareholder of Eurotech.

We entered into a Private Equity Credit Agreement with Brittany Capital Management LLC which, at the time, beneficially owned 5,640,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 37.6% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The Private Equity Credit Agreement has since terminated in accordance with its terms. In June 2004, the Company entered into a second exchange agreement with Brittany to acquire 5,640,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share. On September 24, 2004, Brittany received 490.5 shares of Series I convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company in exchange for 4,905,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Each share of Series I preferred stock has a stated value of $100 and is convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock; provided, however, that a holder of Series I preferred stock may not convert their shares if the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion (excluding, for purposes of this calculation, the unconverted shares of Series I preferred stock). In addition, Brittany agreed to loan the Company up to $100,000. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had borrowed $75,000.

We have issued a Secured Promissory Note to McNab LLC, which owns the outstanding shares of our Series C, Series D, and Series E preferred stock. See “Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources,” for a summary of our arrangement with McNab LLC.

On December 31, 2004, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with True To Form, and Mark J. Allen, the sole stockholder of True To Form. Whereby we acquired True To Form. Mr. Allen was at the time, and remains, a member of our board of directors. The consideration paid to Mr. Allen in the transaction consisted of:
 
57

 
·  
the issuance by True To Form of a secured note in the initial principal amount of $500,000; and

·  
the issuance to Mr. Allen by Global Matrechs of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.

The number of shares of common stock issued in the transaction is subject to adjustment based on the price of our common stock and the revenues of the acquired business on December 31, 2006. In general, assuming that True To Form generates gross revenues of at least $3,000,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the value of the shares issued in the transaction (based on the average closing price of the shares for the five trading days ended on or prior to December 31, 2006) will be at least $2.5 million but no more than $3.5 million. If the value is less than $2.5 million, we are obligated to issue additional shares or, at our option, make cash payments to make up the difference. If the value of the shares is greater than $3.5 million, any excess shares will be returned to us and retired or held as treasury stock. If True To Form does not meet the revenue target, the share consideration will be a minimum of $2.0 million and a maximum of $3.0 million.

In June 2004, the Company entered into a second exchange agreement with Brittany to acquire 5,640,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share. On September 24, 2004, Brittany received 490.5 shares of Series I convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company in exchange for 4,905,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Each share of Series I preferred stock has a stated value of $100 and is convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock; provided, however, that a holder of Series I preferred stock may not convert their shares if the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion (excluding, for purposes of this calculation, the unconverted shares of Series I preferred stock). In addition, Brittany agreed to loan the Company up to $100,000 . As of December 31, 2004, the Company had borrowed $75,000.
