NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Material Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was organized on October 21, 1983, under the laws of the state of Delaware.
The Company is in the development stage, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises,” with its principal activity being research and development in the area of metal fatigue technology with the intent of future commercial application.
On January 22, 2003, the Company formed Matech International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“International”). International was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to advertise, market and sell the Company’s videoscope technology which is presently utilized in the inspection of stress and crack points in turbine engines on the wings of airplanes. At the present time there is no activity in International and the Company does not anticipate nor reasonably foresee any business activity in International in the near future.
On March 13, 2003, the Company formed Matech Aerospace, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Aerospace”). Aerospace was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to advertise, market and sell all manufacturing and marketing rights to the Company’s products and technologies in all commercial markets within the United States. During 2003, Aerospace sold shares of its common stock to investors. As of March 31, 2006, the Company holds a 99% interest in Aerospace. At the present time there is no activity in Aerospace and the Company does not anticipate nor reasonably foresee any business activity in Aerospace in the near future.
Unless otherwise noted, common stock refers to the Company’s Class A common stock.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated operating results and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006 or for any other interim period during such year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception (October 21, 1983). In addition, the Company has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations. Further, at March 31, 2006, the deficit accumulated during the development stage amounted to approximately $65 million.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements and the success of its future operations. In December 2005, the Company issued warrants to a note holder to purchase 4,000,000 shares of its common stock at price of $1.09 per share, which the noteholder has agreed to convert at the rate of at least 5% per calendar month (200,000 warrants for $218,000) once the related registration statement is declared effective (see Note 6). Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the terms of this agreement were modified (see Note 11). The Company anticipates that the registration statement will be declared effective by mid 2006. To date, the Company has received $10,000 as an advance toward the future exercise of the warrants. The Company also continues to raise funds through the sale of its common stock through private offerings which management expects to continue in 2006, and the Company continues its attempt to develop its technologies for commercial application. Management believes that these sources of funds and current liquid assets will allow the Company to continue as a going concern at least through the end of 2006. Management of the Company will need to raise additional debt and/or equity capital to finance future activities beyond 2006. However, no assurances can be made that current or anticipated future sources of funds will enable the Company to finance future periods’ operations. In light of these circumstances, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of Material Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The minority owners’ interests in a subsidiary have been reflected as minority interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of marketable and non-marketable securities, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the amount of the deferred tax valuation allowance. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Investments
Marketable securities purchased with the intent of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted to their fair value, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on dispositions are based upon the net proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the specific identification method, and are recorded as realized gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations. Marketable securities that are not classified as trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are initially recorded at cost. Available-for-sale securities with quoted market prices are adjusted to their fair value. Any change in fair value during the period is excluded from earnings and recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any decline in value of available-for-sale securities below cost that is considered to be “other than temporary” is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of the security and is included in the statement of operations as an impairment loss.
Non-marketable securities consist of equity securities for which there are no quoted market prices. Such investments are initially recorded at their cost. In the case of non-marketable securities acquired with the Company’s common stock, the Company values the securities at a significant discount to the stated per share cost based upon the Company’s historical experience with similar transactions as to the amount ultimately realized from the sale of the shares. For the Birchington shares (see Note 3), the Company has applied an 80% discount to the stated per share cost. Such investments will be reduced when the Company has indications that a permanent decline in value has occurred. At such time as quoted market prices become available, the net cost basis of these securities will be reclassified to the appropriate category of marketable securities. Until that time, the securities will be recorded at their net cost basis, subject to an impairment analysis (see Note 3).

Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of March 31, 2006, the Company does not believe there has been any impairment of its long-lived assets.
Convertible Debentures and Beneficial Conversion
If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 (“EITF 98-05”), “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In the case of non-conventional convertible debt, the Company bifurcates its embedded derivative instruments and records them under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, and EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives related to the non-conventional notes (“Notes”) entered into with Golden Gate Investors (“GGI”) on December 16, 2005 (see Note 6). These embedded derivatives include the conversion feature, liquidated damages related to registration rights and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded an increase to the fair value of the derivatives and related warrants of approximately $930,000. As of March 31, 2006, derivatives were valued primarily using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, annual volatility of 200%, and risk free interest rate of 4.74%.

In addition, the Company has recorded the downside price protection feature of its Birchington agreements as a derivative and recorded an increase to the fair value of approximately $77,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 (see Note 3).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, convertible debentures and derivative and warrant liabilities. Pursuant to SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments at the balance sheet date. The Company cannot determine the estimated fair value of the convertible debentures as instruments similar to the convertible debentures could not be found. Other than these items, the Company considers the carrying values of its financial instruments in the financial statements to approximate their fair values.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the Company’s contracts relating to the further development of the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (“EFS”). Revenue on the contracts is recognized at the time services are rendered. The Company bills monthly for services pursuant to these contracts at which time revenue is recognized for the period that the respective invoice relates. In October 2003, the Company entered into a contract to provide research services to a third party in connection with the application of the Company’s EFS to detect stress on military vehicles. The contract has an approved budget of $215,281. The Company was fully collected for services rendered through March 31, 2006 and had no balance owed under the contract.
In the past, the Company has received research and development funding from various agencies of the U.S. government. U.S. government contracts are subject to government audits. Such audits could lead to inquiries from the government regarding the allowability of costs under U.S. government regulations and potential adjustments of contract revenues. To date, the Company has not been involved in any such audits.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

Net Loss per Share
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“EPS”). SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or losses of the entity. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, since the calculation of diluted per share amounts would result in an anti-dilutive calculation that is not permitted and therefore not included. If such shares were included in diluted EPS, they would have resulted in weighted-average common shares of 197,447,177 and 140,453,819 for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such amounts include shares potentially issuable pursuant to shares held in escrow (see Note 8), convertible debentures (see Note 6), and outstanding “in-the-money” options and warrants (see Notes 10).
Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration
All issuances of the Company's stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a per share amount equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration received pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and has been valued at the market value of the shares on the dates issued. In certain instances, the Company has discounted the values assigned to the issued shares for illiquidity and/or restrictions on resale (see Note 8).
The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" and EITF 00-18, "Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees." The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance to EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company will record the fair value of the fully vested non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in its consolidated balance sheet.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.

MATERIAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Effective January 1, 2006, on the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments”, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted and not yet vested prior to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had no options outstanding and therefore believes the adoption of SFAS 123(R) to have an immaterial effect on the accompanying financial statements.
The Company calculates stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company’s determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards are made as of their respective dates of grant using the option pricing model and that determination is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding the number of subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s employee stock options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from traded options, the existing valuation models may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R) using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. The calculated compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the option.
The Company issues stock options to employees and outside directors whose only condition for vesting, when applicable, are continued employment or service during the related vesting period. Typically, vesting is immediate for employee awards, although awards are sometimes granted with an extended vesting period.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. From time to time, the Company’s cash balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. Management believes the risk of loss of cash balances in excess of the insured limit to be low.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s revenues were generated from one customer.

NOTE 3 INVESTMENTS
Langley
On October 1, 2004, the Company consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Langley Agreement”) with Langley Park Investments, PLC (“Langley”), a corporation organized under the laws of England and Wales. The Langley shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”). Pursuant to the Langley Agreement, the Company issued 8,666,666 shares of its common stock in exchange for 7,158,590 shares of Langley common stock. The number of Langley shares issued was based on the Company’s shares having a value of $1.50 per share and the Langley shares having a value of one British Pound Sterling per share and the conversion rate of the British Pound Sterling to the U.S. Dollar in effect as of the close of business on the day preceding the closing date. The Company initially recorded the Langley shares at $12,973,513. This amount was determined by multiplying the number of Langley shares issued by the market value of the Langley shares of one British Pound Sterling and the applicable exchange rate. The Langley Agreement further provides that of the Langley shares purchased, one half of the shares (3,579,295) are immediately saleable and the remaining half, to which the Company has legal title, will be held in an escrow account for a period of two years. For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers the 3,579,295 shares held in escrow as shares available for sale.
If, at the end of the two-year period, the shares of the Company do not have a market price greater than or equal to the Company’s original closing price, as defined in the Langley Agreement, the Company will be required to sell back some or all of its Langley shares held in escrow at a nominal price, based on a formula as defined in the Langley Agreement. However, if at the end of the two-year period, the market value of the Company’s common stock exceeds the closing price, the Langley shares will be released from escrow.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company sold 2,579,295 of its Langley trading shares for net proceeds of $1,005,606 and recognized a loss on these sales of $3,668,850, which was charged to operations. The Company determined that $4,284,760 of the decline in the value of available-for-sale investments in 2004 was other than temporary and therefore, included the decline in 2004 operations as an impairment charge. The Company charged the remaining $1,167,616 decline in market value of the Langley trading shares that was considered temporary at December 31, 2004 to other comprehensive loss.

In 2005, the Company sold its remaining currently saleable shares for $285,516 and recognized a loss from the sale totaling $3,474. As of December 31, 2005, the Company recognized an “other-than-temporary” impairment of $1,918,587. At March 31, 2006, the Company’s common stock closing price was less than the original closing price as defined in the agreement. Based upon the formula in the Langley Agreement, the Company would be obligated to offer to sell back approximately 3,030,000 of the escrow shares to Langley at a nominal price. The unrealized loss balance of $108,975 at March 31, 2006 relates to the temporary decline in the market value of the Langley shares from the adjusted cost basis of $283,410.
Birchington
In 2005, the Company entered into two agreements (the “Birchington Agreements”) with Birchington Investments Limited (“Birchington”), a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Birchington shares are listed, but not yet traded, on the Dublin Stock Exchange. On April 7, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement (the “April Birchington Agreement”) to purchase 8,307,000 shares of Birchington for 5,850,000 shares of its common stock. Additionally, the Company reserved 1,755,000 shares of its common stock in escrow (reflected as issued but not outstanding at March 31, 2006 see Note 8) as downside price protection, as defined in the April Birchington Agreement.
On September 27, 2005, the Company entered into another agreement (the “September Birchington Agreement”) to purchase 9,606,000 shares of Birchington common stock for 6,000,000 shares of its common stock. Additionally, the Company reserved 1,800,000 shares of its common stock in escrow (reflected as issued but not outstanding at March 31, 2006 see Note 8) as downside price protection, as defined in the September Birchington Agreement.
The Company shares are restricted from sale by Birchington for a period of one year. If the price of the Company’s common stock is below the closing price (as defined) on the anniversary of the closing date of these transactions, then Birchington shall be entitled to purchase out of escrow a percentage of the escrowed shares equal to the percentage of such decline for a price of $0.01 per share. Any shares remaining in escrow will then be returned to the Company. Based on the Company’s closing price at March 31, 2006, Birchington would be entitled to purchase 3,012,151 shares out of escrow, if the requirement existed at March 31, 2006. The Company has bifurcated the downside price protection feature of the Birchington Agreements and has valued this feature at its fair value, totaling $662,646 at March 31, 2006. This value is recorded as investments derivative liability in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and will be marked to market each reporting period.

The Company valued the original purchase of the Birchington common shares at $0.20 per share, an 80% discount to the stated value of $1.00 per share. The per share price was determined by the Company based upon the current non-marketability of the Birchington shares and its experience with similar transactions in the past. The Company has reviewed the recorded value of the Birchington shares for impairment as of March 31, 2006. The Company does not believe that there has been any permanent impairment to the value of the Birchington shares as of March 31, 2006.
In connection with the Birchington Agreements, the Company issued 1,185,000 shares of its common stock to consultants. These shares were reflected as a dilution to the value per share recorded by the Company in the Birchington transactions.

NOTE 4 LICENSE AGREEMENT
The Company has entered into a license agreement with the University of Pennsylvania (the “University”) for the development and marketing of EFS. EFS is designed to measure electrochemically the state of fatigue damage in a metal structural member. The Company is in the final stage of developing EFS.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued to the University 13 shares of its common stock, and a 5% royalty on sales of the product. The Company valued the license agreement at $6,250. The license terminates upon the expiration of the underlying patents, unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement. The Company is amortizing the license over 17 years.
In addition to the license agreement, the Company also agreed to sponsor the development of EFS. Under the sponsorship agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the University development costs totaling approximately $200,000, to be paid in 18 monthly installments of $11,112. Under the agreement, the Company reimbursed the University $10,000 in 1996 for the cost it incurred in the procurement and maintenance of its patents on EFS.
The Company and the University agreed to modify the terms of the license and sponsorship agreements and related obligation. The modification of the license agreement increased the University's royalty to 7% of the sale of related products and provided for the issuance of additional shares of the Company's common stock to equal 5% of the outstanding stock of the Company as of the effective date of the modification, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The modification of the sponsorship agreement included paying the University 30% of any amounts raised by the Company in excess of $150,000 (excluding amounts received on government grants or contracts) up to the amount owing to the University.
The parties agreed that the balance owed on the sponsorship agreement was $200,000 and commencing September 30, 1997, the balance accrued compound interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (19.6% effective annual rate) until maturity on December 16, 2001, when the loan balance and accrued interest became fully due and payable.
In August 2005, the parties entered into an agreement (the “Workout Agreement”) that again modified the terms of the Company’s obligation under the sponsorship agreement. Pursuant to the Workout Agreement, retroactive to January 1, 2005, interest will be charged only on the December 31, 2004 balance of $760,831 (“Remaining Obligation”) at a monthly rate of 0.5% simple interest. The Company is obligated to pay $25,000 annually due on the anniversary date of the Workout Agreement. Further, the Company is also obligated to pay within ten days following the filing of the Company’s Forms 10-Q or 10-K an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s net income before extraordinary items and income taxes as reflected in the quarterly and annual filings. Under the revised terms of the Workout Agreement, Mr. Bernstein’s, the Company’s president, annual cash salary is capped at $250,000. The Company agreed to pay the University an amount equal to any cash salary paid to Mr. Bernstein in excess of the $250,000, which will be credited against the Remaining Obligation. In accordance with the terms of the Workout

Agreement, the Company issued 4,552,000 shares of its common stock to the University in September 2005, representing 5.25% of the Company outstanding shares as of the date of the Workout Agreement. The University cannot sell the shares for 18 months. The Company valued the shares at $7,738,400, which was charged to operations to other expense as a modification of its research and development sponsorship agreement. The shares were valued at their quoted market price on the date of issuance less a 15% discount for the sales restriction. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company paid the University the required annual $25,000 payment.
Interest expense charged to operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $10,705 and $34,237, respectively. The balance of the obligation (including accrued interest) at March 31, 2006 was $766,890 and is reflected in research and development sponsorship payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The current portion represents the minimum annual payment under the Workout Agreement, while the remaining balance is reflected as non-current as the Company does not expect to be required to make additional payments during 2006.
NOTE 5 NOTES PAYABLE
On May 27, 1994, the Company borrowed $25,000 from a shareholder. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at 6.5 percent. The note is secured by the Company’s patents and matured on May 31, 2002. The loan has not been paid and is now in default. As additional consideration for the loan, the Company granted to the shareholder a 1% royalty interest in the Fatigue Fuse and a 0.5% royalty interest in EFS (see Note 7). The balance due on this loan as of March 31, 2006 was $53,921. Interest charged to operations for both 2006 and 2005 was $406.
In October 1996, the Company borrowed $25,000 from an unrelated third party. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 11% and matured on October 15, 2000. The Company issued warrants to the lender for the purchase of 25 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.00 per share. The loan balance as of March 31, 2006 was $25,000. Interest charged to operations on this loan during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $625 and $688, respectively. The Company did not pay any principal amounts due on this note when it matured on October 15, 2000 and the note is in default. In 2004, the Company issued the noteholder 25,000 shares of its common stock as additional compensation for the failure to pay off the indebtedness. The shares are subject to a three-year lock up agreement and were valued at $59,500 and charged to interest expense in 2004.
On April 28, 2003, the Company borrowed $10,000 from an unrelated third party. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

NOTE 6 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
Palisades
On September 23, 2003, the Company entered into a Class A Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Debentures”) with Palisades Capital, LLC or its registered assigns (“Palisades”), pursuant to which Palisades agreed to loan the Company up to $1,500,000. On December 1, 2003, after Palisades had funded $240,000 of the original Debentures, the Company entered into additional Class A Secured Convertible Debentures with two additional investors, pursuant to which such investors would loan the Company up to $650,000 each, and the Company agreed that Palisades would not make additional advances under the Debentures. As of March 31, 2006, the Company received a total of $1,125,000 under the Debentures.
Under the Debentures, each holder has the option to convert the principal amount of all monies loaned under the Debentures, together with accrued interest, into common stock of the Company at the lesser of (i) 50% of the average ten closing prices for the Company’s common stock for the ten days immediately preceding the conversion date or (ii) $0.10 (the lesser of the two being referred to as the “Conversion Price.”) In addition, the Debentures provide that in the event the conversion price is less than $0.10 per share when the holder elects to convert, the Company would have the right, at any time during the 75 days following the date of the holder’s notice of conversion, to prepay all or a portion of the Debentures that have been requested to be converted and the Company would therefore not be required to issue the conversion shares.
Since the Debentures allow the holders to convert the outstanding principal amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount to fair value, the Company recorded the fair value of the conversion feature of $1,125,000 in 2004. The amount was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized as interest expense over the life of the Debentures. Total interest expense related to the amortization of the discount during each of the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $99,855. There was no change in the fair value of the conversion feature (included in derivative liabilities) during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Company’s president entered into a voting agreement and irrevocable proxy, which provides that as of September 23, 2006, if an event of default (as defined in the Debentures) continues for a period of not less than 30 days, all Class B common stock which Mr. Bernstein owns of record, or becomes the owner of record in the future will be voted in accordance with the direction of a third party named in the Debentures (an affiliate of Palisades) or his designated successor. This loss of Mr. Bernstein’s voting rights would affect a change in the voting control of the Company.

The Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 10%, are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and mature on December 31, 2006, when all principal and accrued interest becomes payable. The balance of the Debenture, including accrued interest, at March 31, 2006 was $1,084,196 (net of unamortized discount of $299,565). Interest expense on the Debentures for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, excluding amortization of the discount, was $33,299 and $30,167, respectively.
GGI
To obtain funding for ongoing operations, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) and various amendments to the SPA with Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (“GGI”) on December 16, 2005 for the sale of (i) $40,000 in unsecured convertible debentures (the “Notes”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Notes bear interest at 5.25% per annum, mature three years from the date of issuance and are convertible into the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the dollar amount of the Notes being converted multiplied by 110, less the product of the conversion formula multiplied by 100 times the dollar amount of the Notes being converted, which is divided by the conversion formula. The conversion formula is the lesser of (i) $0.70, (ii) eighty percent (the “Discount Multiplier”) of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices during the twenty trading days prior to the conversion or (iii) eighty percent of the volume weighted average price on the trading day prior to the conversion. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of shares into which the Notes may be converted. The Company has agreed to register the shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the related warrants.
Beginning in the first full calendar month after the registration statement is declared effective, GGI has agreed to convert at least 5%, but no more than 10% of the face value of the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. If GGI converts more than 5% of the Notes in any calendar month, the excess over 5% shall be credited against the subsequent month’s minimum conversion amount. If GGI fails to convert at least 5% of the face amount of the Notes in any given calendar month, GGI will not be entitled to collect interest on the Notes for that month. If the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock is below $0.20, the Company shall have the right to prepay that portion of the Notes that GGI is required to convert, plus any accrued but unpaid interest at 130% of such amount. If at any time during the calendar month, the volume weighted average price is below $0.10, GGI shall not be obligated to convert any portion of the Notes during that month.
Beginning in the first full month after the registration statement is declared effective, GGI has agreed to exercise at least 5%, but no more than 10%, of the warrants per calendar month at an exercise price of $1.09 per share. If GGI exercises more than 5% of warrants in any calendar month, the excess over 5% shall be credited against the subsequent month’s minimum exercise amount. If GGI fails to exercise at least 5% of the warrants in any given calendar month, GGI will not be entitled to collect interest on the Notes for that month. The warrants are exercisable through the maturity date of December 16, 2008.

NOTE 6 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, continued
At any time prior to the registration statement being declared effective, GGI may demand repayment of 130% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in cash within 10 days of such demand. Additionally, the Company will be required to issue and pay to GGI 50,000 shares of common stock and $15,000 in cash for each 30-day period, or portion thereof, that the Registration Statement is not effective. The cash payment increases to $20,000 for each 30-day period, or portion thereof, after the first 90-day period.
The full principal amount of the Notes is due upon a default under the terms of the agreement. The Company plans to file a registration statement within 60 days of closing, which will include the common stock underlying the Notes and the warrants. If the registration statement is not declared effective within 120 days from the date of filing, the Company will be required to pay a penalty to GGI (see above). In the event the Company breaches any representation or warranty in the SPA, the Company is required to pay in cash, 130% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
For a period of one year after the effective date of the SPA, GGI has agreed to restrict their ability to convert their Notes or exercise their warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
The Notes include certain features that are considered embedded derivative financial instruments, such as the conversion feature, events of default and a variable liquidated damages clause. These features are described below, as follows:

In conjunction with the Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock. The accounting treatment of the derivatives and warrants requires that the Company record the warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement, which totaled $326,600. Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the warrants were cancelled (see Note 11).
The initial fair value assigned to the embedded derivatives and warrants was $5,957,188. The Company recorded the first $40,000 of fair value of the derivatives and warrants to debt discount (equal to the total proceeds received as of December 31, 2005), which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. Amortization expense charged to operations during the three-months ended March 31, 2006 was $4,444.
The market price of the Company’s common stock significantly impacts the extent to which the Company may be required or may be permitted to convert the unrestricted and restricted portions of the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. The lower the market price of the Company’s common stock at the respective times of conversion, the more shares the Company will need to issue to convert the principal and interest payments then due on the Notes. If the market price of the Company’s common stock falls below certain thresholds, the Company will be unable to convert any such repayments of principal and interest into equity, and the Company will be forced to make such repayments in cash. The Company’s operations could be materially adversely impacted if the Company is forced to make repeated cash payments on the Notes.
The balance of the Debenture, including accrued interest, at March 31, 2006 was $4,588 (net of unamortized discount of $35,556). Interest expense on the Debentures for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, excluding amortization of the discount, was $541 and $0, respectively.
Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the terms of this agreement were amended (see Note 11).
NOTE 7 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Royalties
On December 24, 1985, to provide funding for research and development of the Fatigue Fuse, the Company entered into various agreements with the Tensiodyne 1985-I R & D Partnership (the “Partnership.”) These agreements were amended on October 9, 1989, and under the revised terms, obligated the Company to pay the Partnership a royalty of 10% of future gross sales. The Company's obligation to the Partnership is limited to the capital contributed to it by its partners of approximately $912,500 plus accrued interest.
On August 30, 1986, the Company entered into a funding agreement with the Advanced Technology Center (“ATC”), whereby ATC paid $45,000 to the Company for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicense revenue. The royalty is limited to the $45,000 plus an 11%

On May 4, 1987, the Company entered into another funding agreement with ATC, whereby ATC provided $63,775 to the Company for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicense revenues. The agreement was amended August 28, 1987, and as amended, the royalty cannot exceed the lesser of (1) the amount of the advance plus a 26% annual rate of return or, (2) total royalties earned for a term of 17 years. At March 31, 2006, the total future royalty commitments, including the accumulated 26% annual rate of return, were approximately $6,541,000. If the Company defaults on the agreement, then the obligation relating to this agreement becomes secured by the Company's patents, products, and accounts receivable that are related to the technology developed with the funding.
In 1994, the Company issued to Variety Investments, Ltd. of Vancouver, Canada ("Variety") a 22.5% royalty interest on the Fatigue Fuse in consideration for the cash advances made to the Company by Variety. In December 1996, in exchange for the Company issuing 250 shares of its common stock to Variety, Variety reduced its royalty interest to 20%. In 1998, in exchange for the Company issuing 733 shares of its common stock to Variety, Variety reduced its royalty interest to 5%.
As discussed in Note 5, the Company granted a 1% royalty interest in the Company's Fatigue Fuse and a 0.5% royalty interest in EFS to a shareholder as partial consideration on a $25,000 loan made by the shareholder to the Company.
A summary of royalty interests that the Company has granted and are outstanding as of March 31, 2006 follows:

Litigation
In July 2002, the Company settled its pending lawsuit related to a contract dispute with Mr. Stephen Beck. During the three-months ended March 31, 2006, the Company issued Mr. Beck 1,203,084 of its common stock related to ongoing negotiations with Mr. Beck. The value of the shares issued to Mr. Beck during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, was $173,244 and has been included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
In March 2006, Mr. Beck filed a lawsuit against the Company. Mr. Beck alleges breach of contract and seeks approximately $135,000 in damages, plus the issuance of 3,896,620 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to which he believes he is entitled, plus interest. The Company has only recently been served with the lawsuit and does not have an opinion as to its validity at this time.
The Company has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit alleging breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to pay certain amounts due to a consultant for services. The Company asserts that the contract was unenforceable due to a number of factors. Legal counsel has advised the Company that it is premature to estimate the outcome or the range of damages that may occur if the case is not settled in the Company’s favor.
In the ordinary course of business, The Company may be from time to time involved in various other pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of management, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Indemnities and Guarantees
During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include certain agreements with the Company’s officers under which the Company may be required to indemnify such person for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. They also include indemnities made to the holders of the convertible debentures and the sellers of investments in securities. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company would be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations and no liability has been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

At March 31, 2006, the Company’s only outstanding warrants are the 4,000,000 warrants associated with GGI (see Note 6). The warrants were cancelled subsequent to March 31, 2006 (see Note 11).

NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, continued
The original 4,000,000 warrants issued have been cancelled. Also, beginning in the first full calendar month after the registration of the underlying shares is declared effective, GGI must convert at least 10%, but no more than 40%, of the face value of the Notes per calendar month into common shares of the Company, provided that the common shares are available, registered and freely tradeable. The Company may reduce the monthly maximum figure from 40% to 6% for any three calendar months (but not two consecutive calendar months) during the term of Notes by giving written notice at least 10 business days prior to the first applicable month. GGI and the Company shall enter into three additional $1,000,000 convertible debentures, each with the same terms as above. The agreement also allows the Company to register up to an additional 20,000,000 shares for sale or issuance to parties other than GGI in the registration statement.
As a result of the modification of the debt, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on the debt extinguishment for the difference between the fair value of the Notes and warrant and derivative liabilities immediately before the modification and after the modification.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the increase in other expenses related primarily to the change in derivative liability, which is mostly due to the change in the Company’s stock price during the quarter.
During the three months ended December 31, 2005, we incurred interest expense of $6,062,376. Of this amount, $5,917,188 relates to the initial recording of the fair value of the derivative and warrant liabilities, $99,855 represents amortization of the discount on convertible debt and accrued interest on our various obligations of $45,333. Interest income during the quarter was $3,298 of which $1,050 was accrued on amounts due from our president and $2,248 was earned on our investments. We also recorded impairment losses on our Langley investment of $1,918,587 and a derivative value of $585,735 related to our Birchington investment.

Cash Requirements
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our net cash used in operations was $(327,957), compared to $(356,761) for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Negative operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2006, were primarily created by a net loss from operations of $3,834,275, offset by non-cash stock related expenses of $1,952,645, change in fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities of $1,007,280, amortization of discount on convertible debenture of $104,298, and decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $306,197. Because of our need for cash to fund our continuing research and development, we do not have an opinion as to how indicative these results will be of future results.
Negative operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2005, were primarily created by a net loss from operations of $1,680,065, offset by non-cash stock related expenses of $1,225,000, amortization of discount on convertible debenture of $99,854, decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $47,338, and accrued interest expense added to principal of $41,986.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, were $172,425 and $596,245, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the net cash came primarily from the sale of marketable securities in the amount of $174,988, offset by the amount for purchase of securities of $(2,563).
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, were $130,882 and $1,000, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the net cash came primarily from the sale of common stock and warrants in the amount of $164,505, offset by a principal reduction in notes payable of $(25,000) and the purchase of treasury stock of $(8,623).
37
We are not generating sufficient cash flow from operations to fund growth. We cannot predict when we will begin to generate revenue from the sale of our products, and until that time, we will need to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities. If we are unsuccessful in raising the required capital, we may have to curtail operations.
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Because we have generated very limited revenues, and have minimal capital resources, our Certified Public Accountants included an explanatory paragraph in their report raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with its Board of Directors, the Company has identified the following accounting policies that it believes are key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
The first critical accounting policy relates to revenue recognition. Income from the Company’s research is recognized at the time services are rendered and billed for.
The second critical accounting policy relates to research and development expense. Costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred.
The third critical accounting policy relates to the valuation of non-monetary consideration issued for services rendered. The Company values all services rendered in exchange for its common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, which ever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration is valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.
The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance to EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company records the fair value of nonforfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in its consolidated balance sheet.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings
On March 8, 2006, Stephen Forrest Beck filed a lawsuit against us and our President, Robert M. Bernstein, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. SC088898, titled Stephen Forrest Beck v. Material Technologies, Inc. and Robert M. Bernstein. Mr. Beck alleges breach of contract and seeks approximately $135,000 in damages, plus the issuance or the value of 3,896,620 shares of our Class A common stock to which he believes he is entitled, plus interest.

The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
