This Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as well as the Company's press releases, contain or may contain forward-looking statements. The information provided is based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company's management, as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Company's management. Statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "may," "should," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "future," "intends," "hopes," "plans," or the negative thereof. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results of the Company to vary materially from historical results or from any future results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
Any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that do not describe historical facts, including without limitation statements concerning expected revenues, earnings, product introductions and general market conditions, may constitute forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations, but are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. The factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: the Company's ability to raise the financing required to support the Company's operations; the Company's ability to establish its intended operations; fluctuations in demand for the Company's products and services; the Company's ability to manage its growth; the Company's ability to develop, market and introduce new and enhanced products on a timely basis; the Company's ability to attract customers; and the ability of the Company to compete successfully in the future. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of those factors.
The Company files periodic reports with the SEC, as well as current reports on Form 8-K, proxy or information statements and other reports required of publicly held reporting companies. The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - OPERATIONS
Brightec, Inc. ("Brightec" or the "Company") develops and markets luminescent
films incorporating luminescent or phosphorescent pigments (the "Luminescent
Products"). These pigments absorb and reemit visible light producing a "glow"
which accounts for the common terminology "glow in the dark." The Luminescent
Products will be sold primarily as a printable luminescent film designed to add
luminescence to existing or new products. The Company uses third parties for
manufacturing, and markets and sells graphic quality printable luminescent
films. These films are based on the Company's proprietary and patented
technology, which enables prints to be of photographic quality by day and
luminescent under low light or night conditions. The Company expects that its
Luminescent Products will be available for sale in a number of versions
appropriate for commonly used commercial and personal printing technology,
including offset printing, laser or inkjet printing, plus a variety of "print on
demand" digital technologies. The Company offers its products in sheets and
rolls.
NOTE 2 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements at
September 30, 2008 and for the three- and nine month periods then ended includes
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brightec S.A. (the
"Subsidiary"), a Swiss corporation. All inter-company transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited
consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 2007, and include all adjustments, necessary to
make the financial statements not misleading. Certain footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed
or omitted in accordance with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") for interim reporting. These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
NOTE 3 - LIQUIDITY, MANAGEMENT PLANS AND GOING CONCERN
The Company had a working capital deficit of $2,348,999 and an accumulated
deficit of $15,142,449 at September 30, 2008, and recurring net losses since
inception. The ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern
is primarily dependent upon the ability of the Company to raise the necessary
financing, to effectively produce and market Brightec's products at competitive
prices, to establish profitable operations and to generate positive operating
cash flows. If the Company fails to raise funds, or the Company is unable to
generate operating profits and positive cash flows, there are no assurances that
the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and it may be unable to
recover the carrying value of its assets.
In 2006 the Company entered into a $750,000 Loan and Security Agreement (the
"Loan Agreement") with Ross/Fialkow Capital Partners, LLP, Trustee of the
Brightec Capital Trust ("Ross/Fialkow") and borrowed $650,000. During 2007, the
Company borrowed an additional $50,000 under the Loan Agreement and on September
25, 2008, repaid $50,000 of the previous borrowings. As of September 30, 2008,
the remaining funds available under the Loan Agreement were $100,000. See NOTE 8
- LINE OF CREDIT.
The Company's president has been funding its cash requirements as needed through unsecured, interest bearing cash advances. For the period January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008, the spresident has made unsecured cash advances of $795,000 and paid other operating liabilities of $10,510. See NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.
Management believes that it will continue to be successful in generating the necessary financing to fund the Company's operations throughout the 2008 calendar year; however, unless alternative sources of funding are identified, the Company will be totally dependent on its president to finance its operations. Due to the recent turmoil in the global economy, it is uncertain that those funds will be available when the Company requires them and there is no guarantee that the president will continue such financing.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes earnings or loss per share in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic
earnings per share, is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other agreements to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock, only in the periods in which the effect is dilutive. The
following securities have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per
share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

NOTE 5 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
value and consist of the following at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively:
September 30, December 31, 2008 2007 ------------ ------------ (Unaudited) (Audited) Raw materials $ 31,942 $ 23,728 Work in process 175,237 122,699 Finished goods 163,307 67,151 ------------ ------------ $ 370,486 $ 213,578 ============ ============ |
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company has not calculated the tax benefits of its net operating losses as
of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 since it does not have the required
information. The Company has not filed its federal and state corporate tax
returns for years ended December 31, 2007, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2000. The
tax returns filed for 2006 and 2001 (if permitted by statute) will need to be
amended. Due to the uncertainty over the Company's ability to utilize these
operating losses, any deferred tax assets, when determined, would be fully
offset by a valuation allowance.
NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Brightec, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
(Unaudited)
All such advances bear interest at the Internal Revenue Service short term "Applicable Federal Rate" (2.36% and 3.81% at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively) calculated and accrued monthly. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, accrued interest owed on the unsecured cash advances was $36,652 and $16,417, respectively. Interest expense incurred for the three- and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $8,738, $5,512, $20,234 and $10,390, respectively.
NOTE 8 - LINE OF CREDIT
On June 8, 2006, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with Ross/Fialkow,
in the amount of $750,000. The Loan Agreement, which was scheduled to expire on
June 30, 2008, was extended until December 31, 2008 under an agreement dated
June 16, 2008. The Company incurred a $2,500 renewal fee for the extension.
Advances from the line of credit bear interest at 20% per annum. The principal
amount of the loan plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, is convertible at
any time prior to payment at the election of Ross/Fialkow, into the Company's
common stock at the rate of $0.12 per share. Such shares carry piggy-back
registration rights. All assets of the Company have been pledged, including the
assets of the Subsidiary.
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $650,000 and $700,000, respectively. Interest expense was $35,612, $33,222, $106,390 and $99,362 for the three- and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
NOTE 9 - ACCRUED EXPENSES

NOTE 10 - CAPITAL STOCK
As previously discussed, on March 14, 2008, the Company agreed to issue 250,000 shares of its common stock valued at $750 to Agoracom pursuant to the IR Agreement. The value of the stock issuance was recognized as deferred compensation and is being amortized over twelve months (the term of the IR Agreement). As of September 30, 2008, the unamortized balance of deferred compensation, related to the IR Agreement was $344.
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the unamortized balance of deferred compensation expense was $28,662 and $50,807, respectively.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENT
The Company entered into a new three-year operating lease for its office space
effective July 1, 2008, expiring on June 30, 2011. The annual rent is $33,600 in
the first year, $35,000 in the second year and $36,400 in the third year. In
addition to the standard lease terms, the landlord has agreed to re-carpet and
re-paint the occupied space.
The required security deposit increased from $2,041 to $3,033. At the end of the initial three-year term, the Company has the option to extend the lease (the "Extension Option") for an additional three-year term by giving the landlord
Brightec, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
(Unaudited)
nine months advance notice of its intent to do so. Upon the commencement of the Extension Option, the monthly rent will be equal to the fair market rent for the premises but not less than the rent for the most recent term increased by $1 per square foot per year.
As of September 30, 2008, the minimum required lease payments under the new operating lease, are as follows:
Twelve month period ended Amount ------------------ ------------ September 30, 2009 $ 33,950 September 30, 2010 35,350 September 30, 2011 27,300 ------------ $ 96,600 ============ |
NOTE 12 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements."
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about
fair value measurement. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of
this pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial condition or
results of its operations.
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115," which permits a company to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that were not previously required to be measured at fair value. We have not elected to measure any financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value which were not previously required to be measured at fair value. Therefore, the adoption of this standard has had no effect on the Company's financial position or the results of its operations.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations (revised 2007)." SFAS No. 141(R) applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations established in SFAS No. 141 to all acquisitions where the acquirer gains a controlling interest, regardless of whether consideration was exchanged. Consistent with SFAS No. 141, SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquirer to fair value the assets and liabilities of the acquiree and record goodwill on bargain purchases, with the main difference the application to all acquisitions where control is achieved. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009; however, the Company does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of its operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51." SFAS No. 160 requires companies with noncontrolling interests to disclose such interests clearly as a portion of equity but separate from the parent's equity. The noncontrolling interest's portion of net income must also be clearly presented on the income statement. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 160 as of January 1, 2009; however, it does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of its operations.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157," which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 until January 1, 2009, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company believes the adoption of the delayed items of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the
Brightec, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - continued
(Unaudited)
reporting entity's hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged, but not required. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 161 as of January 1, 2009; however, it does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the our financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about us and our industry. These forward-looking statements are usually accompanied by words such as "believes," "may," "should," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "future," "intends," "hopes," "plans," and similar expressions, and the negative thereof. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal
and understanding of our financial position and results of operations and
require us to apply significant judgment in their application. As a result,
these policies are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying
these policies, we use our judgment in making certain assumptions and estimates.
Our critical accounting policies, which consist of revenue recognition, accounts
receivable reserves, inventories, derivative instruments (including stock
options) and income taxes are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 2007. There have been no material changes to our
critical accounting policies as of and for the three- and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2008.
OVERVIEW
We develop and market luminescent films incorporating luminescent or
phosphorescent pigments (the "Luminescent Products"). These pigments absorb and
re-emit visible light producing a "glow" which accounts for the common
terminology "glow in the dark." Our Luminescent Products have been and will be
sold primarily as a printable luminescent film designed to add luminescence to
existing or new products. We manufacture, through third-party manufacturers,
market and sell graphic quality printable luminescent films. These films are
based on our proprietary and patented technology that enables prints to be of
photographic quality by day and luminescent by night. Our Luminescent Products
are available for sale in a number of versions appropriate for commonly used
commercial and personal printing technology, including offset printing or inkjet
printing, plus a variety of "print on demand" digital technologies. We currently
offer our products in sheets and rolls.
We completed the process of redesigning our website and began to introduce our new product lines to the marketplace. We started introducing our new products to the market in September 2007. During the first and second quarters of 2007, as a result of our anticipated new product lines introduction, we began building our inventory to meet the anticipated product demand.
Products that we introduced by the end of the 2007 included a line of new and improved printing quality inkjet sheets of different formats, which are being sold in small packs and bulk packs for the home, office and photographic digital printing market, a line of inkjet rolls and sheets for the wide format digital printing market, and a line of offset sheets and "flexo" for the commercial printing market. Offset printing refers to the printing technique where an inked image is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket, and then to a printing surface. "Flexo," and industry term, refers to the printing method whereby a print is made by creating a positive mirror master of the image as a 3D relief. A measured amount of ink is put on the surface of the printing plate. The print surface then rotates, contacting the print material which transfers the ink.
We achieved our goal of launching our new website in September 2007 and we began to introduce our new product line shortly thereafter. We anticipated introducing a new product line every subsequent month and having all of our currently planned products introduced to the market by the end of 2007. However, due to a manufacturing complication, we were forced into re-working our manufacturing process, which caused us not to be able to introduce all of the new product lines that we had anticipated.
As previously discussed, we had been building the volume of our inventory for the anticipated product demand once we introduced our new product line through our website. We continued our attempts to further reduce our product cost; however, during the second quarter of 2008, we changed our focus to developing a sales and marketing effort since further cost reductions could not be achieved because of the rising cost of our raw materials.
We continued to build our inventory in the second quarter of 2008 in anticipation of generating 100% of our marketing materials in the third quarter to be used in a major sales and marketing effort that we plan to begin in the fourth quarter of 2008. These marketing materials, some of which were professionally printed in September 2008, will shorten our marketing cycle as we will be able to present any of our products on demand. We will also have our cost structure in place in the fourth quarter of 2008 so that we can quote the customer on demand.
Our major sales and marketing effort will involve targeting several market segments, including, but not limited to puzzles and games, children's stickers, home decor, electronics (e.g. device "skins"), trading cards and sports collectibles. This effort will concentrate primarily on our Luminescent Product that is used to enhance an existing product, but may also include targeting consumers of our vinyl product which would be used primarily to produce signs and banners.
In order to fund this effort, the Company intends to attempt to raise funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity. Until we can raise the necessary capital, the primary funding of our sales and marketing effort will come from our president, as long as he has the funds available to do so. Due to the recent turmoil in the global economy, it is uncertain that those funds will be available when we require them and there is no guarantee that the president will continue such financing.
If those funds should become unavailable, we would need to curtail our sales and marketing effort or focus on fewer target markets until we are successful and alternative funding is found.
ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
We have a working capital deficit of approximately $2,349,000, an accumulated
deficit of approximately $15,142,000 at September 30, 2008 and recurring
negative operating cash flows since inception. Our future viability is dependent
upon our ability to obtain additional debt and/or equity financing and achieve
profitability in future operations. These circumstances raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have included a
"going concern" qualification in their auditor's report for the year ended
December 31, 2007. Such a "going concern" qualification may make it more
difficult for us to raise funds when needed.
We believe we have the ability to obtain additional funds from new investors, our principal stockholders and employees through the issuance of additional debt, equity securities and/or the exercise of warrants and stock options; however, until we identify alternative sources of funding, we will be totally dependent on our president to fund our operations. We do not have any current plans to access typical sources of credit until our sales volume increases and we have no plans to make significant investments in property, plant or equipment. Our president has made $830,000 in unsecured cash advances to us through November 7, 2008 and we anticipate receiving significant additional unsecured advances from our president for the remainder of fiscal 2008 as well as into fiscal 2009 as we begin our previously discussed sales and marketing efforts.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise the funds we require, or that if such funds are available, that they will be available on commercially reasonable terms. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern is primarily dependent upon our ability to generate the necessary debt and/or equity financing to effectively market and produce our products, to establish profitable operations and to generate positive operating cash flows. If we fail to raise funds or are unable to generate operating profits and positive cash flows, there are no assurances that we will be able to continue as a going concern and we may be unable to recover the carrying value of our assets.
Due to the recent turmoil in the global economy, it is uncertain that the necessary funds will be available when we require them. We feel that we may benefit from, and take advantage of, the recent economic uncertainty. As it becomes more difficult for companies to stay in business, they will need to find more creative and unique ways to differentiate themselves from their competition. Those companies will be more open to our products as they try to maintain their market share.
We believe that we will be successful in generating the necessary financing to fund our operations through the 2008 calendar year. Accordingly, we believe that no adjustments or reclassifications of our recorded assets and liabilities are necessary at this time.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE- AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 COMPARED WITH THREE- AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the increase in our revenue was due to an increase in the number of commercial sales we made and because of a specialized promotional product that we manufactured and delivered in the first quarter of 2008.
During the third quarter of 2008 we had no commercial sales of our Luminescent Products as we concentrated on building our inventory in anticipation of producing our marketing samples for our previously discussed sales and marketing effort planned for the fourth quarter.
The decrease in our gross profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was due to the aforementioned inventory shrinkage and cost overruns with respect to the specialized promotional product that we manufactured and delivered in the first quarter of 2008.
The decrease for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was offset by specific costs incurred relating to a necessary change in the primary raw materials used in manufacturing our Luminescent Products. The change required us to change our manufacturing process.
The increase for the three- and nine month period ended September 30, 2008 is primarily related to the increased allocation of employee compensation costs to sales and marketing as the result of relieving certain general and administrative duties from our sales and marketing staff. Those general and administrative duties were shifted to an outside accounting consultant. The increase is also attributable to higher material costs to produce our sales and marketing samples with our new raw materials.
As previously discussed, we anticipate beginning a major sales and marketing effort targeting consumers that use our Luminescent Products to enhance an existing product, such as a puzzle or a game, stickers, home decoration, "skins" for electronic products, trading cards and other sports collectibles. Our sales and marketing costs will increase significantly as our marketing samples are
produced in the third quarter and our sales and marketing effort begins in the fourth quarter. We anticipate that the cost of this sales and marketing effort will be approximately $500,000 to $750,000, which includes, but is not limited to, the costs to produce all of our marketing collateral and samples, travel costs, employee compensation, and website updates and revisions. We also anticipate this sales and marketing effort will extend though a significant portion of 2009. Through September 30, 2008, we have incurred approximately $35,750 in costs related to this sales and marketing effort.
The increase for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 is primarily related to a one-time charge to write-off deferred offering costs of $20,085 incurred in 2006 related to our Stand-By Equity Distribution Agreement, the proceeds of which we do not believe we will be able to maximize, within the proscribed time period, due to our current per-share stock price. This increase was offset by decreases in payroll and payroll related costs due to higher allocations to selling and marketing.
The decrease for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 is primarily due to a change in salary allocation to allocate more employee compensation costs to selling and marketing and research and development. In addition, we incurred non-recurring legal and accounting fees in the first quarter of 2007 related to our amended quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC. The first quarter of 2007 also included the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Ross/Fialkow Capital Partners, LLP, Trustee of the Brightec Capital Trust ("Ross/Fialkow").
General and administrative costs include consulting fees of $7,551, $1,642, $22,489 and $1,642 for the three- and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, related to a two-year consulting contract with a significant stockholder, commencing on September 11, 2007.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
As a result of the modifications, we recognized financing costs of $128,680 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.
For the three- and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we incurred interest of $35,389, $33,222, $106,390, and $99,362, respectively, on our Loan Agreement with Ross/Fialkow. We also incurred interest on cash advances from our president of $8,738, $5,512, $20,234 and $10,390, respectively. For the three- and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we incurred other miscellaneous interest costs of $4, $0, $17 and $0, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
Since inception, our operations have not generated sufficient cash flow to
satisfy our capital needs. We have financed our operations primarily through the
private sale of shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock and debt securities. Our net working capital deficit at September
30, 2008 was $2,348,999 compared to a deficit of $1,671,047 as of December 31,
2007.
The current financing for our operations is derived solely from unsecured, interest bearing cash advances from our president. While we believe that he will be able to continue funding our operations, there is no guarantee that he will have the ability to continue to do so. In light of the recent economic turmoil in the global credit markets, our president may not be able to fund our operations on a timely basis to enable us to take advantage of various economic opportunities. We do have the ability to borrow $100,000 under our Loan Agreement with Ross/Fialkow (see NOTE 8 - LINE OF CREDIT in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q); however, it is inadequate based on our current and estimated future funding requirements.
Due to the recent turmoil in the global economy, it is uncertain that the necessary funds will be available when we require them. We feel that we may benefit from, and take advantage of, the recent economic uncertainty. As it becomes more difficult for companies to stay in business, they will need to find more creative and unique ways to differentiate themselves from their competition. Those companies will be more open to our products as they try to maintain their market share.
In addition, our current sales and marketing efforts will require substantial funding beyond our current operating requirements. We currently intend to attempt raising capital from various sources; however, we feel that we will be unable to attract the necessary debt and/or equity financing unless our current sales and marketing efforts are successful and until additional commercial and retail sales can be generated to demonstrate that there is a market for our Luminescent Products beyond our current limited successes.
As previously discussed, we estimate that it will require $500,000 to $750,000 in additional funding, to be used for various purposes, to make this sales and marketing effort successful. The ability of our president to fund this effort, or fund it timely, may influence how successful our sales and marketing effort is and consequently, affect our ability to attract future debt and/or equity financing for future operations.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 245,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 144,342,837 shares were issued and outstanding at September 30, 2008. The number of shares issued excludes shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.
Cash decreased to $25,568 at September 30, 2008 from $32,464 at December 31, 2007.
Net cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $757,564. The primary reason for the cash usage was to fund the loss for the period and build our inventory in anticipation of our upcoming sales and marketing campaign in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Net cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $4,473 and represented the purchase of a new computer and new computer software to be used in our sales and marketing efforts.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $755,510. The net cash provided was derived from unsecured, interest bearing cash advances received from our president of $805,510 net of repayment of advances from our line of credit of $50,000.
The Company entered into a new three-year operating lease for its office space effective July 1, 2008 and expiring on June 30, 2011. The annual rent is $33,600 in the first year, $35,000 in the second year and $36,400 in the third year. In addition to the standard lease terms, the landlord has agreed to re-carpet and re-paint the occupied space.
The required security deposit increased from $2,041 to $3,033. At the end of the initial three-year term, the Company has the option to extend the lease (the "Extension Option") for an additional three-year term by giving the landlord nine-months advance notice of its intent to do so. Upon the commencement of the Extension Option, the monthly rent will be equal to the fair market rent for the premises but not less than the rent for the most recent term increased by $1 per square foot per year.
