Our Business
 
We are a technology company with a substantial body of intellectual property focused on delivering novel audio solutions. Our HyperSonic® Sound (“HSS®”) technology creates sound in a new way - - “in-the-air” along a directional ultrasonic beam- - a significant departure from traditional speaker technology. Our ability to beam, focus and control sound empowers commercial solutions that benefit from directed audio including digital signage, kiosks and electronic gaming (slot machines). We are establishing HyperSound™ as the consumer brand for our novel sound reproduction method that enhances standard stereo content producing a robust and distinct 3D sound image from just two thin emitters. We are targeting our audio technology for use in consumer markets including computers, video gaming, televisions, home audio and mobile devices.
 
Our first commercial product line, HSS-3000, delivers directed audio solutions primarily targeting commercial customers for digital signage applications that benefit from focused sound targeted to specific locations. Commercialization of HSS-3000 demonstrates the ability of our technology to achieve high quality directional sound. We are now seeking to expand into new markets through both product sales and licensing. Our licensing strategy is to identify large or high-growth markets, develop needed technology solutions and features, and work with established industry participants and OEMs to make products incorporating our technologies widely available to consumers. Our principal markets are North America, Europe and Asia.
 
Our mission is to be a dominant worldwide provider of innovative audio solutions improving the utility of sound for communication and enjoyment. Our main advantages are the ability to focus communication to patrons and to produce a clear, distinct and robust immersive sound experience.
 
We were incorporated in Nevada on June 2, 2010 as a new, wholly owned subsidiary of LRAD Corporation in order to effect the separation and spin-off of our HSS business. On September 27, 2010, the 100% spin-off was completed and we became a stand-alone, independent, publicly traded company. Our corporate office is located at 1941 Ramrod Avenue, Suite #100, Henderson, Nevada 89014 and our principal production and distribution facility is located at 13125 Danielson Street, #110, Poway, California 92064. Our telephone number is (888) 477-2150 and our website can be accessed at www.parametricsound.com.
 
Proprietary Technology with Significant Barriers to Entry
 
Common speaker types in use today, such as dynamic, electrostatic, ribbon and other transducer-based designs, are direct radiating, and are fundamentally a piston action, directly pumping air molecules into motion to create audible sound waves the listener hears. Parametric, or nonlinear acoustics, on the other hand, generate sound along an ultrasonic column using frequencies above the normal range of hearing. This sound beam is highly directional and maintains sonic clarity and intelligibility over longer distances than traditional loudspeakers. We believe beaming stereo content “in-the-air” from just two ultrasonic emitters (the speakers in traditional audio systems) creates a distinct and robust 3D sound image not possible with headphones or costly and complex surround sound systems.

Parametric sound employs ultrasonic frequencies to carry content, such as music and voice, into the air. Proprietary ultrasonic emitters, or transducers, which convert electrical energy to high frequency acoustical energy, produce these ultrasonic frequencies that are beyond the range of hearing.  These ultrasonic emitters are used in lieu of loudspeakers to emit a custom-generated ultrasonic wave with the proper difference frequency characteristics to produce audible sound within and throughout a tightly formed beam. Audible sound is not created on the surface of the ultrasonic emitter—a significant departure from a direct radiating loudspeaker.  Instead, the audible sound is generated in the air itself and is focused and directed. For example, if the acoustic beam is directed towards a wall, the sound first emanates from the surface of the wall, not from the emitter, as would be with a conventional loudspeaker. Or, if the acoustic beam is directed to a person, the sound is created at the person. This directionality allows sound to be focused or “beamed” in space or diffused from a surface in a variety of ways to produce desired and controllable effects. Also, the sound does not spread or dissipate at the same rate over distance as it does with traditional speakers. This unique feature provides improved intelligibility at selected distant points with less energy than traditional speakers, creating the ability to communicate directed sound at longer distances.
 
Elwood G. Norris, our President, was the original inventor of our HSS technology in the 1990’s. In 2005 he was awarded the Lemelson-MIT Prize for HSS acoustics innovation. Starting in January 2010, he believed that the technology, then limited to directed audio applications, could be reinvented to dramatically reduce distortion and increase fidelity opening a diverse range of market applications. Recent innovations are intended to position HSS for both commercial and consumer markets.
 
Traditionally, parametric sound reproduction, while offering high directivity, suffered from lower sound volume and higher distortion than direct radiating speakers. In 2010 and 2011, we made technical progress designed to improve sound volume from a given emitter size and we established a development pathway that we believe will further improve output volume. Our January 2012 introduction of a new generation of electronics combining a new digital signal processor (DSP) and software enhancements dramatically improved sound quality whereupon we believe our distortion is comparable or less than many traditional speakers.
 
Patents
 
Our technology is protected by a base of important legacy issued patents obtained through our 2010 spin-off. Additional patents have been filed and we are preparing new applications. We currently own 21 U.S. patents, two foreign patents and five pending patents with certain related patent cooperation treaty (PCT) filings.
 
While dramatically improving fidelity, we believe that our new technology has increased efficiency of parametric sound reproduction while reducing the cost to be competitive with traditional audio systems. We believe it is very difficult to develop a “knock-off” substitute for our products without being in violation of our intellectual property.  We intend to actively defend our patents against infringement.
 
Trade Secrets
 
We also rely upon trade secrets, proprietary know-how, and continuing technological innovation to remain competitive.  We protect this information with reasonable security measures, including the use of confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with our employees, customers, and suppliers.
 
Target Markets
 
Our initial focus and proof of technology has been on the use of directed sound in the digital signage, point-of-purchase, in-store networks and related markets and applications. We believe our HSS-3000 product line meets the current requirements of these customers. Our technology also addresses other commercial applications including kiosks, POS terminals and slot machines and we are developing new form factors for our emitters to meet the requirements to serve these customers. Our future development roadmap focuses on new designs to adapt our technology for computers and video gaming. Further research and development is planned to create solutions for televisions, home theater, mobile and cinema applications.

We plan to focus our efforts on proprietary audio solutions targeting the following markets:
 
Commercial Applications
Consumer Applications
Digital Signage
Personal Computers
Kiosks and Point-of-Sale Terminals
Video Gaming
Electronic Gaming (Slot) Machines
Televisions
Movies and Cinema
Home Theater
 
Mobile Devices

Digital Signage
 
Digital signage is a highly effective and growing form of direct advertising. Our directed audio solutions are designed to deliver sound to targeted patrons, reduces ambient noise clutter, with minimal disruption of commerce. In July 2011, we commenced sales of our HSS-3000 products, and in January 2012, we introduced important upgrades to improve performance that we believe will accelerate sales in this market segment. The market for digital signage worldwide – based on the total revenue to manufacturers (primarily displays, media players, set top boxes, computers, networks and software) – reached $5 billion at the end of 2010, according to a report from IMS Research with growth to 2013 forecast to be 40% to $7 billion. We target new customers and new applications for directed audio in this growing market. We also pursue opportunities to add our solution to existing installations to clearly communicate to targeted patrons and reduce ambient noise clutter. Our prospective customers are generally worldwide value added resellers (VARs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), integrators and professional audio distributors that install, sell or provide digital signage solutions or products to end-user businesses.
 
Kiosks and Point-of-Sale Terminals
 
We believe directed audio enhances interactive kiosks and point-of-sale (POS) terminals by directly and clearly communicating to the user, increasing privacy and reducing the effect of ambient noise. Our audio solution is designed to allow multiple adjacent devices. Interactive kiosks and related computer terminals power applications for communication, commerce, entertainment, and education. According to ABI Research, the number of interactive kiosks deployed globally will rise from 1.6 million in 2011 to nearly 3 million in 2016. Generally our customers are expected to be leading kiosk and POS equipment manufacturers with our audio integrated into devices to differentiate them in the marketplace. We have sold and expect to continue to offer HSS-3000 and future products for aftermarket installation in existing kiosk installations wishing to add directed audio.
 
Electronic Gaming (Slot) Machines
 
Electronic gaming or slot machines are becoming increasingly sophisticated computerized entertainment devices. We believe the dramatic increase in themed games and the use of higher quality video displays including 3D displays contribute to a need for directed audio focused on the patron but also on our ability to deliver enhanced audio from just two emitters. Use of our enhanced directed audio offers patrons a distinct sound experience unattainable from traditional audio. According to research by Taylor Nelson Sofres Plc, there were over 4.2 million casino style electronic gaming machines operating globally in 2010 with over 840,000 in North America. According to the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers, the U.S. gaming equipment manufacturing sector produced $11.5 billion in revenues in 2010. We believe this highly competitive industry with a heavy emphasis on innovation is an attractive market for partnering or licensing of our products and technology to the leading producers of electronic gaming equipment. We believe we can offer leading OEM manufacturers an important method to differentiate their product offerings from competitors to achieve increased market acceptance.
 
Personal Computers
 
Our enhanced audio solution complements computers by delivering a more robust sound image and directing and focusing sound to what is typically an individual computer user. Our ultra-thin emitter accompanies flat and thin computer monitors and laptops that are growing rapidly in use worldwide. According to the Computer Industry Almanac, there are over 310 million personal computers in use in the U.S. and over 1.6 billion globally. Sales of personal computers are expected to be over 400 million units globally in 2012. We intend to target computer manufacturers to license our technology to integrate our emitters into computers. We also plan to pursue licensing to aftermarket suppliers of computer speakers.

Video Gaming
 
We believe the increased sophistication of video gaming including higher resolution images, more realistic and interactive content and the use of 3D displays creates a growing opportunity for our enhanced audio. Our ability to create a 3D sound image from just two thin emitters complements many gaming platforms, whether computers, consoles or in the future portable devices. The world video game market (equipment and software) will be $68 billion in 2012 according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Our strategy is to license our technology for suppliers serving this industry which includes computer manufacturers, aftermarket suppliers of computer and game console speakers, and video game and mobile game equipment suppliers both new and aftermarket.
 
Televisions
 
Directing sound to television viewers allows for an enhanced audio experience. Since the advent of flat panel display manufacturers have been focused on creating the thinnest form factor often at the expense of sound quality. Currently television audio is often enhanced through aftermarket surround sound speaker systems in which up to 7 speakers are positioned throughout a listening location. This gives the listener a more immersive surround sound experience. We believe we can develop our technology to offer a unique immersive experience superior to surround sound systems from just two front emitters integrated directly into a television set or sold as an aftermarket accessory. We believe that our technology can offer significant value to both segments of this market.
 
Our emitters’ extremely thin form factor can be easily integrated into a similarly flat panel display including 3D displays. Our technology requires no box, creates no back wave and can be mounted right against a wall yet produce full and robust sound. Our strategy is to target the flat panel television market through licensing of our technology for integration into equipment produced by the leading OEM manufacturers as well as aftermarket purveyors of sound equipment. According to IHS iSuppli Research, flat panel TV shipments were over 214 million units in 2010 expected to grow to over 289 million in 2015 with a total value exceeding $149 billion.  Shipments of 3D TVs in this category are expected to grow to 54 million in 2012.
 
Home Theater
 
The market for home theater systems complements the flat panel television market but generally consists of larger systems designed to produce a cinema experience in the home. We plan to develop our technology for this application by making larger speakers and enabling existing audio encoding by Dolby and others, including surround sound. Our goal is to offer a robust, distinct enhanced audio experience from just front emitters.
 
Mobile Devices
 
There is growing adoption in both mature and emerging markets of new mobile platforms for consumer and business use of digital content, such as tablets and smartphones. These platforms are experiencing strong growth and we believe that our technology’s thin form factor and our ability to direct sound to a user has the ability to enhance the audio experience of such mobile platforms. Currently sound from these devices is of poor quality and low volume which requires many users to use headphones to hear the audio. By directing sound to a single listener, the user will be able to have a private experience without the use of headphones as the sound can be directed primarily to the listener. Since tablet devices are larger in size they are an initial target market as the requirements for miniaturization of our technology are less stringent. As we further develop and miniaturize our technology we believe that we have the potential to meet the requirements of the large growing smartphone market.
 
The market for tablet devices is expected to be 86 million units globally in 2012. Global smartphone shipments in 2010 exceeded 300 million units according to International Data Corporation representing a 74% growth from 2009.
 
Movies and Cinema
 
We also plan to scale our technology for larger environments for use in cinemas. There are approximately 40,000 movie screens in the United States according to the National Association of Theater Owners.

Strategy
 
Our strategy is to leverage our intellectual property to partner with large OEMs to accelerate our product acceptance into our target market areas. We believe that we will continue to strengthen our market position as the leader in directed audio by continuing to improve our technology, broadening our product line, identify new directed audio applications, acquiring new OEM and VAR partners, expanding relationships with existing partners, and developing worldwide awareness of the benefits of directed audio and awareness of our HyperSound brand.
 
Marketing Strategy
 
We are developing a market position for our technology as a method to enhance stereo content to produce a clear, distinct and robust sound image from just two thin emitters. While applicable to many consumer products, we also intend to target the emerging and rapidly growing 3D video market to reproduce 3D sound for computers, video gaming, homes and theaters. We intend to develop awareness of the immersive sound experience produced by HyperSound technology, focus development activities on identified consumer applications, develop new applications for our enhanced sound and create a licensing business for HyperSound technology.
 
Product Development and Licensing Strategy
 
Our business strategy is to identify large high-growth markets, develop needed technology solutions and features, and license to established industry partners and OEMs to make products incorporating our technologies widely available to consumers.  We intend to develop functional prototypes in each market vertical to demonstrate the viability of our products, and leverage the prototypes to attract key joint development partners. We intend to license our technology and work with planned partners to help develop and commercialize products. Although we may be required to provide certain manufacturing services or arrange manufacturing of components for certain licensees, our main focus is to obtain most of our revenues through licensing. We believe that we can develop a position as a leader in audio by employing the strategy of designing a stream of patented audio products, penetrating new licensing accounts and developing strong brand awareness.
 
Manufacturing Strategy
 
We have established in-house production capability for our HSS-3000 product line and believe we have proven initial manufacturability and met the technical requirements for the digital signage market.  We also are working to develop contract manufacturing to provide greater capacity for our product sales in commercial markets and as a resource for future licensees, OEMs and VARs who may desire to access capacity for the expanded consumer markets that we are pursuing. We believe that the manufacturing protocols we have established to address the digital signage market will directly translate to the other market verticals that we are pursuing. 
 
Recent Events
 
On December 29, 2011, we appointed Kenneth F. Potashner to our Board of Directors.  Mr. Potashner, an experienced technology executive, also agreed to a consultancy arrangement to develop strategies for a range of markets now possible with our latest HSS audio innovations. He also agreed in principle to thereafter manage company growth by becoming Executive Chairman at a future date.  On March 5, 2012, we appointed Mr. Potashner as our Executive Chairman.  In his capacity as Executive Chairman, Mr. Potashner is responsible to lead our Board of Directors in the formulation of and lead management in the execution of strategic growth initiatives as the Company’s principal executive officer.
 
On February 16, 2012, we appointed Andrew Wolfe, Ph.D. to our Board of Directors.
 
On March 5, 2012, we appointed James L. Honore to our Board of Directors.
 
In January 2012, we announced and showcased to customers and others a product upgrade that we believe improves our product offering in existing markets and enhances our prospects to develop products and deliver licensable technology in other targeted markets. Our upgraded HSS technology has been designed to produce a crisp, clean and unique sound image enhancing stereo output to produce a robust 3D sound image from just two thin emitters. We are unable to predict the level of acceptance of our technology in existing or these new markets.

On December 29, 2011, our Board of Directors approved the Parametric Sound Corporation 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”).  The 2012 Plan provides for authority to grant options to purchase 253,000 shares of common stock remaining available for issuance under our 2010 Stock Option Plan (“2010 Plan”) and new authority to grant options to purchase an additional 600,000 shares of common stock (after giving effect to an anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split). Any outstanding option grants that expire or terminate, other than through exercise or share settlement, under the 2010 Plan will also become eligible for grant under the 2012 Plan.
 
On December 29, 2011, we entered into an Assignment Agreement with Syzygy Licensing, LLC (“Syzygy”) whereupon we acquired all technology and intellectual property covered by the License and Royalty Agreement dated September 27, 2010 we previously executed with Syzygy. The Assignment Agreement terminated the License and Royalty Agreement and all future royalty obligations and assigned to us all pending patent applications comprising part of the intellectual property. In consideration of the assignment, we issued to Syzygy 300,000 shares of common stock (after giving effect to an anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split) and agreed to pay to Syzygy $250,000 by June 30, 2012. Syzygy is owned by two of the Company’s executive officers who are both also significant stockholders.

RISK FACTORS
 
Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks, cautionary statements and other information contained in this prospectus.  The risks and uncertainties described in this document are not the only ones we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business.  If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs with material adverse effects on our company, our business, financial condition, results of operation and/or liquidity could be seriously harmed.  In that event, the market price for our common stock will likely decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
Risk Factors Relating to Our Business
 
We have a history of operating losses, expect additional losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability.
 
We have incurred operating losses since our spin-off in September 2010 and expect additional losses until we achieve revenues and resulting margins to offset our operating costs.  Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $531,017 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was $1,484,458. Our ability to achieve future profitability is dependent on a variety of factors, many outside our control. Failure to achieve profitability or sustain profitability, if achieved, may require us to continue to obtain additional funding which could have a material negative impact on the market value of our common stock or be dilutive.
 
Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In their audit opinion issued in connection with our financial statements as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the years then ended, our independent registered public accounting firm included a going concern explanatory paragraph which stated there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We have prepared our financial statements on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to liquidate our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.  If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose a substantial portion or all of their investment.
 
We are susceptible to general economic conditions, and continued difficult economic circumstances in our industry or a reduction in spending by customers could adversely affect our operating results.
 
The electronics industry in general has historically been characterized by a high degree of volatility and is subject to substantial and unpredictable variations resulting from changing business cycles. Our operating results will be subject to fluctuations based on general economic conditions, in particular conditions that impact advertising including discretionary consumer spending. The audio products sector of the electronics industry has and may continue to experience a slowdown in sales, which adversely impacts our ability to generate revenues and impacts the results of our future operations. The current tight credit in financial markets may adversely affect the ability of our commercial customers to finance purchases and operations and could result in an absence of orders or spending for our products as well as create supplier disruptions. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of the adverse economic conditions and disruptions in financial markets and the effects they will have on our business and financial condition.
 
We purchase a number of key components and subassemblies from foreign suppliers. Consequently, we are subject to the impact economic conditions can have on such suppliers and subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Increases in our cost of purchasing these items could negatively impact our financial results if we are not able to pass these increased costs on to our customers.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from a few large customers.
 
The vast majority of our sales are generated from a small number of customers. Two customers accounted for 55% and 11% of our total revenues in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and two customers accounted for 46% and 35% of our total revenues in fiscal 2011. We do not have long-term agreements with these or other significant customers and our agreements with these customers do not require them to purchase any specific number or amount of our products. As a result, agreements with respect to pricing, returns, promotions, among other things, are subject to periodic negotiation with each customer. No assurance can be given that these or other customers will continue to do business with us. The loss of any of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, the uncertainty of product orders can make it difficult to forecast our sales and allocate our resources in a manner consistent with actual sales, and our expense levels are based in part on our expectations of future sales. If our expectations regarding future sales are inaccurate, we may be unable to reduce costs in a timely manner to adjust for sales shortfalls.
 
We must develop a larger customer base or generate license revenues in order to grow our business.
 
While we have retained some customers from LRAD Corporation’s prior HSS business, to grow our business, we must develop relationships with new customers and obtain and fulfill increased orders from both prior and new customers. Our sales to date have been limited to a few customers. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop a larger customer base. Further, even if we continue to retain prior customers and obtain new customers, we cannot guarantee that those customers will purchase sufficient quantities of our products at prices that will enable us to recover our costs in acquiring those customers and fulfilling orders. We also cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate any license customers for our technology or generate future license revenues. Our ability to increase sales of our products or generate license revenues depends on a number of factors, including:
 
 
·
our ability to timely demonstrate or manufacture reliable products that have the features required by our customers;
 
 
·
our ability to develop relationships with new customers that will lead to sales of our products or licensing of our technology; 
 
 
·
our ability to develop and expand into new markets for our audio products and technology; and 
 
 
·
our ability to develop international product distribution or licensing directly or through partners. 
 
Errors, limitations or defects contained in our products, failure to comply with applicable safety standards, product injury claims or a product recall could result in delayed shipments or rejection of our products, increased warranty costs or damage to our reputation and expose us to regulatory or other legal action.
 
Our technology is substantially different from proven, mass-produced sound transducer designs. Any performance limitations, defects or errors in the operation of our products could result in the rejection of our products by our customers, damage to our reputation, lost sales, diverted development resources, increased customer service, adverse regulatory actions and warranty claims, any of which could harm our business. Complex components and assemblies used in our products may contain undetected defects that are subsequently discovered at some point in the life of the product. Defects in our products may result in a loss of sales, injury or other loss to customers, and may injure our reputation and increase our warranty or service costs. We may incur substantial and unpredictable warranty costs from post-production product or component failures. Defects and/or warranty costs could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and business prospects.
 
Third parties could sustain injuries from our products, and we may be subject to claims or lawsuits resulting from such injuries. There is a risk that these claims or liabilities may exceed, or fall outside the scope of, our insurance coverage. We may also be unable to maintain adequate liability insurance in the future. Because we are a small company, a product recall would be particularly harmful to us. We have limited financial and administrative resources to effectively manage a product recall, and it would detract management’s attention from implementing our core business strategies. A significant product defect or product recall could materially and adversely affect our brand image, cause a decline in our sales, and could reduce or deplete our financial resources adversely affecting our financial results.

If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes, our processes, products or services may become obsolete.
 
The directed audio market is characterized by significant and rapid technological change. Although we will continue to expand our technological capabilities in order to remain competitive, research and discoveries by others may make our processes, products or services less attractive or even obsolete.
 
Our efforts may never demonstrate the feasibility of our new electronics processing and emitter technology for broad-based product applications.
 
Our research and development efforts remain subject to all of the risks associated with the development of new products based on emerging and innovative technologies, including without limitation unanticipated technical or other problems and the possible insufficiency of funds for completing development of these products. While we believe we have overcome many of the technical problems traditionally associated with parametric sound reproduction, these technical problems or new technical problems may result in delays and cause us to incur additional expenses that would increase our losses. If we cannot complete, or if we experience significant delays in completing, development, manufacturing and licensing of commercial or consumer applications using our new technology, particularly after incurring significant expenditures, our business may fail.
 
Our revenues are derived from a single product category, a limited number of products and future licensing revenues.
 
We are dependent on one core technology and product category and limited products to generate revenues. We cannot assure you that these or other future products will achieve customer acceptance to attain a level of sales to support our operating costs. We also intend to develop licensing revenues from our technology. The loss or failure of this product category or the inability to obtain licensing revenues would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
 
We cannot predict our future operating results. Our quarterly and annual results will likely be subject to fluctuations caused by many factors, any of which could result in our failure to achieve our expectations.
 
We expect our proprietary sound reproduction products and technologies will be the source of substantially all of our future revenues. Revenues are expected to vary significantly due to a number of factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control. Any one or more of these factors, including those listed below, could cause us to fail to achieve our revenue expectations. These factors include:
 
 
·
our ability to supply sound reproduction components to customers, distributors, VARs or OEMs or in the future to license our technologies;
 
 
·
market acceptance of, and changes in demand for, our products or our customers’ products;
 
 
·
gains or losses of significant customers, distributors or strategic relationships;
 
 
·
unpredictable volume and timing of customer orders;
 
 
·
the availability, pricing and timeliness of delivery of components for our products;
 
 
·
fluctuations in the availability of manufacturing capacity or manufacturing yields and related manufacturing costs;
 
 
·
timing of new technological advances, product announcements or introductions by us, by OEMs or licensees and by our competitors;
 
 
·
product obsolescence and the management of product transitions and inventory;
 
 
·
unpredictable warranty costs associated with our products;
 
 
·
installation or order delays by customers, distributors, OEMs or production delays by us or our suppliers;
 
 
·
general consumer electronics industry conditions, including changes in demand and associated effects on inventory and inventory practices;
 
 
·
general economic conditions that could affect the timing of customer orders and capital spending and result in order cancellations or rescheduling; and
 
 
·
general political conditions in this country and in various other parts of the world that could affect spending for the products that we intend to offer.
 
 
10

 
 
Some or all of these factors could adversely affect demand for our products or technologies and, therefore, adversely affect our future operating results.
 
Our expenses may vary from period to period, which could affect quarterly results and our stock price.
 
If we incur additional expenses in a quarter in which we do not experience increased revenue, our results of operations will be adversely affected and we may incur larger losses than anticipated for that quarter. Factors that could cause our expenses to fluctuate from period to period include:  
 
 
·
the timing and extent of our research and development efforts;
 
 
·
tooling, manufacturing and production working capital costs;
 
 
·
investments and costs of maintaining or protecting our intellectual property;
 
 
·
the extent of marketing and sales efforts to promote our products and technologies; and
 
 
·
the timing of personnel and consultant hiring.
 
Our potential for rapid growth and our entry into new markets make it difficult for us to evaluate our current and future business prospects, and we may be unable to effectively manage any growth associated with these new markets, which may increase the risk of your investment and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
 
The recent development of our new technology, including new electronics processing and emitter improvements, we believe will enable us to enter new and different markets and to expand our presence in our current product markets. Because these improvements are relatively new and have only been available in new products for a short time, we may be unable to evaluate our future prospects in our current market and in new markets, particularly in light of our goals to continually grow our existing and new customer base, expand our product offerings, integrate complementary businesses and enter additional new markets. In addition, our potential growth, recent product introductions and entry into new markets may place a significant strain on our resources and increase demands on our executive management, personnel and systems, and our operational, administrative and financial resources may be inadequate. We may also not be able to effectively manage any expanded operations, or achieve planned growth on a timely or profitable basis, particularly if the number of customers using our products and services significantly increase or their demands and needs change as our business expands. If we are unable to manage expanded operations effectively, we may experience operating inefficiencies, the quality of our products and services could deteriorate, and our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
Our licensing strategy to approach new markets is untested, subject to risk and there is no assurance companies will license our technology or produce licensable products or pay license fees sufficient to sustain our operations.
 
While we currently produce products for commercial markets we intend to license our technology to others in both commercial and consumer markets. This strategy is untested and we have no current licensees. There can be no assurance that consumer electronic product companies we intend to target will license our technology or produce licensable products. Our plans to license for particular applications may require additional product development and there can be no assurance we can demonstrate performance acceptable to prospective licensees. The markets for consumer electronic products in which our technology is intended are intensely competitive and price sensitive. This could place pressure on licensing fees and limit our ability to exploit our technology. We also risk that licensees will inaccurately report licensing royalties, if any, or that they or others will make unauthorized use of our intellectual property.
 
 
11

 
 
Many potential competitors who have greater resources and experience than we do may develop products and technologies that make ours obsolete.
 
Technological competition from other and more established electronic and sound system manufacturers is significant and expected to increase. Most of the companies with which we expect to compete have substantially greater capital resources, research and development staffs, marketing and distribution programs and larger facilities than us, and many of them have substantially greater experience in the production and marketing of products. In addition, one or more of our competitors may have developed or may succeed in developing technologies and products that are more effective than ours, rendering our technology and products obsolete or noncompetitive. The life cycles of our technologies are difficult to estimate. If we cannot develop products in a timely manner in response to industry changes, or if our technologies do not perform well, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.
 
Our competitive position will be seriously damaged if we cannot maintain and obtain patent protection for important differentiating aspects of our products or otherwise protect intellectual property rights in our technology.
 
We rely on a combination of contracts and trademark, patent and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology. However, we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property, our competitors may be able to independently develop similar technology and the agreements we enter into to protect our proprietary rights may not be enforceable.
 
Our success, in part, depends on our ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property protection of our technology, particularly our patents. There is no guarantee any patent will issue on any patent application that we have filed or may file. Claims allowed from existing or pending patents may not be of sufficient scope or strength to protect the economic value of our technologies. Further, any patent that we may obtain will expire, and it is possible that it may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. If we do not secure and maintain patent protection for our technology and products, our competitive position could be significantly harmed. A competitor may independently develop or patent technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology.
 
As we expand our product line or develop new uses for our products, these products or uses may be outside the protection provided by our current patent applications and other intellectual property rights. In addition, if we develop new products or enhancements to existing products we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain patents to protect them. Even if we do receive patents for our existing or new products, these patents may not provide meaningful protection, or may be too costly to enforce protection. In some countries outside of the United States where our products may be sold or licensed, patent protection is not available. Moreover, some countries that do allow registration of patents do not provide meaningful redress for violations of patents. As a result, protecting intellectual property in these countries is difficult and our competitors may successfully sell products in these countries that have functions and features that infringe on our intellectual property.
 
We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties in the future for infringement of our proprietary rights or to determine the scope and validity of our proprietary rights or the proprietary rights of our competitors. These claims could result in costly litigation and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel. As a result, our operating results could suffer and our financial condition could be harmed.
 
Our competitive position will be seriously damaged if our products are found to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
 
Other companies and our competitors may currently own or obtain patents or other proprietary rights that might prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to make, use or sell our products. As a result, we may be found to infringe the intellectual property rights of others. The electronics industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights or positions, resulting in significant and often protracted and expensive litigation. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed technology, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. Any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. An adverse result from intellectual property litigation could force us to do one or more of the following:
 
 
12

 
 
 
·
cease selling, incorporating or using products or services that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
 
 
·
obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all; and
 
 
·
redesign products or services that incorporate the disputed technology.
 
If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, we could face substantial costs and shipment delays and our business could be seriously harmed. Although we carry general liability insurance, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed.
 
In addition, it is possible that our customers or end users may seek indemnity from us in the event that our products are found or alleged to infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Any such claim for indemnity could result in substantial expenses to us that could harm our operating results.
 
Our technology is subject to government regulation, which could lead to unanticipated expense or litigation.
 
Our sound technology emits ultrasonic vibrations and is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, as well as the Federal Communications Commission. Although we believe we are in compliance with applicable FDA and FCC regulations, in the event of certain unanticipated defects in our products, a customer or we may be required to comply with governmental requirements to remedy the defect and/or notify consumers of the problem. This could lead to unanticipated expense, and possible product liability litigation against a customer or us. Any regulatory impediment to full commercialization of our parametric sound technology, or any of our other technologies, could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
We may face personal injury and other liability claims that harm our reputation and adversely affect our sales and financial condition.
 
Since our products include ultrasonic emissions along with the acoustic output, customers or others could claim damage to human hearing or human health irrespective if the product is used properly or improperly, such as when the product is used at extreme close ranges for long periods of exposure. A person claiming injury in connection with the use of our products may bring legal action against us to recover damages on the basis of theories including personal injury, negligent design, dangerous product or inadequate warning. We may also be subject to lawsuits involving allegations of misuse of our products. While we have product liability insurance, it may be too costly for us or may be unavailable and it may be insufficient to pay any claims. We may not have sufficient resources to satisfy any product liability claims not covered by insurance which would materially and adversely affect our financial position. Significant litigation could also result in a diversion of management’s attention and resources and negative publicity.
 
We will be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities in the future, which may have terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock that could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock and our business.
 
We will require additional financing to fund future operations, including expansion in current and new markets, development and acquisition, capital costs and the costs of any necessary implementation of technological innovations or alternative technologies. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
 
13

 
 
If we do not receive additional financing when and as needed in the future, we may not be able to continue the research, development and commercialization of our technology and materials.
 
Our capital requirements may be significant as we seek to expand our products and markets. We will likely require substantial additional funds in excess of our current financial resources in the future for research, development and commercialization of our technology and products, to obtain and maintain patents and other intellectual property rights in these technologies and materials, and for working capital and other purposes, the timing and amount of which are difficult to ascertain. Our cash on hand will likely not be sufficient to meet all of our future needs. When and as we need additional funds, such funds may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our inability to obtain additional funding when and as needed could limit our ability to execute our business plan. Additionally, if we attempt to raise funds in a future offering of shares of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants or depositary shares, or if we engage in acquisitions involving the issuance of such securities, the issuance of these shares could dilute the ownership of our then-existing stockholders.
 
We rely on outside suppliers to provide a large number of components and sub-assemblies incorporated in our products.
 
Our products have a number of components and subassemblies produced by outside suppliers. In addition, for certain of these items, we qualify only a single source, which can magnify the risk of shortages and decrease our ability to negotiate with our suppliers on the basis of price. In particular, we depend on one piezo-film supplier to provide expertise and materials used in our proprietary emitters and one supplier for a majority of our plastic and metal parts. If shortages occur, or if we experience quality problems with suppliers, then our production schedules could be significantly delayed or costs significantly increased, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operation and financial position.
 
Current environmental laws, or laws enacted in the future, may harm our business.
 
Our operations are subject to environmental regulation in areas in which we conduct business. Our product design and procurement operations must comply with new and future requirements relating to the materials composition of our products, including restrictions on lead, cadmium and other substances. We do not expect that the impact of these environmental laws and other similar legislation adopted in the U.S. and other countries will have a substantial unfavorable impact on our business. However, the costs and timing of costs under environmental laws are difficult to predict.
 
Inadequate internal controls or accounting practices and material weaknesses in our internal controls could lead to errors or restatements, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Our small size and limited personnel make maintaining internal controls and management oversight systems more challenging than for more established and larger entities. We are subject to rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on internal controls over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. After documenting and testing our system, we identified a material weakness in our accounting and financial functions due to a lack of segregation of duties primarily resulting from our limited staffing. As a result, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. As a result of our internal control over financial reporting being ineffective, we are more susceptible to errors or restatement and investors could lose confidence in our financial reports, and our stock price might be adversely affected. In addition, remedying this or any future material weaknesses that we might identify could require us to incur significant costs and expend significant time and management resources. We cannot assure you that any of the measures we might implement to remedy any such deficiencies would effectively mitigate or remedy such deficiencies.
 
Loss of our key management and other personnel could impact our business.
 
Our business is substantially dependent on our Executive Chairman, Kenneth F. Potashner, and our president, Elwood G. Norris, and other key personnel. The loss of either of Mr. Potashner or Mr. Norris or any of these key personnel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, competition for skilled and non-skilled employees among companies like ours is intense, and the loss of skilled or non-skilled employees or an inability to attract, retain and motivate additional skilled and non-skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder our ability to conduct research activities successfully, develop new products, attract customers and meet customer shipments.

Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on an assumed offering price of $5.00 per share, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $3.75 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock at December 31, 2011. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.
 
A large number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock.
 
A large number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares.
 
Upon completion of this offering, and assuming the sale of 1,700,000 shares of our common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus, we will have 6,003,406 shares of our common stock outstanding and approximately 1,413,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and warrants, giving effect to an anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of our common stock will develop or be sustained.
 
Shares of our common stock have only been publicly traded since October 2010 and trading has been sporadic and volatile since that time. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. It is a condition of this offering that we be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the requirements for continued listing going forward. Our common shares have historically been sporadically or “thinly-traded” on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a consequence, there may be extended periods when trading activity in our shares is minimal, as compared to a seasoned issuer with a large and steady volume of trading activity. The market for our common shares is also characterized by significant price volatility compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that such volatility will continue. As a result of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. It is possible that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will not develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

There is no guarantee that our shares will be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
 
We have applied for listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market. After the reverse split of our common stock as described herein, we believe that we will satisfy the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market. Such listing, however, is not guaranteed. If the application is not approved, we will not pursue this offering and the shares of our common stock will continue to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Even if such listing is approved, we may not be able to meet the requirements for continued listing, and there may not be any broker interested in making a market for our stock. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell your shares of common stock if you desire or need to sell them. Our underwriter, MDB Capital Group LLC, is not obligated to make a market in our securities, and even if it chooses to do so it can discontinue at any time without notice. It is possible that an active and liquid trading market in our securities may never develop or, if one does develop, that the market will continue.
 
We cannot predict the price range or volatility of our common stock and sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
From time to time, the market price and volume of shares traded of companies in the industries in which we operate experience periods of significant volatility. Company-specific issues and developments generally affecting our industries or the economy may cause this volatility. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, including:
 
 
·
general economic, market and political conditions;
 
 
·
quarterly variations in results of operations or results of operations that are below public market analyst and investor expectations;
 
 
·
changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts;
 
 
·
operating and market price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable;
 
 
·
press releases or publicity relating to us or our competitors or relating to trends in our markets; and
 
 
·
sales of common stock or other securities by insiders.
 
In addition, broad market and industry fluctuations, investor perception and the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of actual operating performance.
 
Sales or distributions of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or otherwise, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. All of the shares of our common stock, other than the shares held by executive officers and directors, are eligible for resale in the public market. Substantial selling of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Sales of common stock issuable on the exercise of any existing or future options or warrants may lower the price of our common stock.
 
We have two stock option plans authorizing the grant of options to purchase up to 1,105,000 shares of our common stock to our employees, directors and consultants, of which 923,000 are subject to outstanding options. We also have warrants to purchase up to 320,000 common shares outstanding as part of an equity financing, have agreed to issue to MDB Capital Group LLC a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock equal to up to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering and may issue common stock purchase warrants or other securities convertible into common stock in the future. The issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of convertible securities, options or warrants could cause substantial dilution to existing holders of common stock, and the sale of those shares in the market could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. The potential dilution from the issuance of these shares could negatively affect the terms on which we are able to obtain equity financing.

We may issue preferred stock in the future, and the terms of the preferred stock may reduce the value of your common stock.
 
We are authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our Board of Directors may determine the terms of future preferred stock offerings without further action by our stockholders. If we issue preferred stock, it could affect your rights or reduce the value of your common stock. In particular, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party. Preferred stock terms may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions.
 
The payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
 
The declaration and amount of future dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, financial covenants, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors our Board deems relevant.
 
BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
We were incorporated on June 2, 2010 as a new, wholly owned subsidiary of LRAD Corporation in order to effect the separation and spin-off of its HyperSonic Sound¨ (“HSS¨”) business as a stand-alone, independent, publicly traded company. On September 27, 2010, LRAD Corporation contributed most of its HSS business assets and through a pro rata dividend distribution effected the 100% spin-off to its stockholders of 15,306,064 shares of our common stock, representing all our common stock outstanding at that date. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol PAMT.
 
We are a technology company with a substantial body of intellectual property focused on delivering novel audio solutions. Our technology pioneered the practical application of parametric acoustic technology for generating sound in a new way - - “in-the-air” along a directional ultrasonic beam - - a significant departure from traditional speaker technology. Our ability to beam, focus and control sound empowers commercial solutions that benefit from directed audio including digital signage, kiosks and electronic gaming. For consumer applications HSS enhances standard stereo content producing a robust and distinct 3D sound image from just two thin emitters. We are targeting our audio for use in computers, gaming, TVs and home audio.
 
Our first commercial product line, HSS-3000, delivers directed audio solutions to commercial customers primarily for digital signage applications that benefit from focused sound targeted to specific locations. We are now seeking to expand into new markets through both product sales and licensing. Our licensing strategy is to identify large or high-growth markets, develop needed technology solutions and features, and work with established industry participants to make products incorporating our technologies widely available to consumers. Our principal markets are North America, Europe and Asia.
 
Our mission is to be the dominant worldwide provider of innovative audio solutions improving the utility of sound for communication and enjoyment. Our main advantages are the ability to focus communications to target audiences and employ sound to reproduce a clear, distinct and robust immersive sound experience.
 
History
 
HSS pioneered a new paradigm in sound production based on well-known principles of physics. Parametric or nonlinear acoustics use changing pressures in air to produce sound indirectly by carrying content into the air along ultrasonic frequencies.
 
Parametric sound technology has gone through various iterations of both emitter designs and amplifier and processing electronics since active development began in 1995. From 2004 to 2010, LRAD Corporation, our predecessor, sold HSS systems, mostly the legacy H450 product model introduced in 2005. While we consider our company the leader in this niche market, we believe the potential for applications of directed audio have not been realized primarily due to performance limitations of previous products and their relatively high cost compared to traditional sound systems for targeted applications.

Mr. Elwood G. Norris, our President, was the original inventor of the HSS technology in the 1990’s. In 2005 he was awarded the Lemelson-MIT Prize for the HSS acoustics innovation. In April 2009, he stepped down as Chairman of LRAD Corporation, in September 2009, he retired from an active role at LRAD Corporation and in June 2010, he resigned as a director to focus on development of our business. LRAD Corporation was focusing most of its financial, technical and marketing resources on its long-range acoustic hailing device product business. In January 2010, Mr. Norris began discussions with LRAD Corporation about the HSS business and the parties concluded that a spin-off would be in the best interests of stockholders, as this would provide the best means of improving the HSS technology and developing and commercializing a new HSS product line. In April 2010, LRAD Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a plan to spin-off the HSS business and the 100% spin-off was completed on September 27, 2010 when we became a stand-alone, independent, publicly traded company.
 
Starting in January 2010, Mr. Norris spent significant time evaluating the parametric sound technology, independently inventing new concepts and developing and testing new processing and control electronics and prototypes along with changes to the emitters to improve parametric sound reproduction. His goal was a quality directional sound solution more competitive in cost to existing audio systems for targeted applications, but with the benefit of directionality.
 
Following the spin-off in September 2010 we were able to focus additional resources on developing, testing, tooling and producing a new line of HSS products, our HSS-3000 product series. These products build on prior HSS technology and feature new customer utility as a result of new designs and demonstrate improved performance at a reduced manufacturing cost. We consider this to be the third generation of the HSS technology and the current technology platform is referred to as HSS-III technology. After initial customer evaluations and testing, in July 2011 we commenced sales of new HSS-3000 products based on the HSS-III technology. In January 2012 we introduced a new generation of electronics based on a new digital signal processor (DSP) and software upgrades that we believe dramatically improved performance and reduced distortion. HSS now produces a crisp, clean and unique sound image compared to traditional audio systems. This ability creates opportunities for an immersive robust 3D sound from just two thin emitters opening that we believe opens opportunities for new markets.
 
Technology
 
Common speaker types in use today such as dynamic, electrostatic, ribbon and other transducer-based designs, are direct radiating, and are fundamentally a piston action, directly pumping air molecules into motion to create audible sound waves the listener hears. Parametric, or nonlinear acoustics, on the other hand, create sound “in the air.” Audible sound is generated along an ultrasonic column using frequencies above the normal range of hearing. This parametric sound beam is highly directional and maintains sonic clarity and intelligibility over longer distances than traditional loudspeakers. We believe our technology is compatible with any media input and it beams focused sound where you want it while significantly limiting ambient noise.
 
Parametric sound employs ultrasonic frequencies to carry content, such as music and voice, into the air. Proprietary ultrasonic emitters, or transducers, which convert electrical energy to high frequency acoustical energy, produce these ultrasonic frequencies that are beyond the range of hearing.  These ultrasonic emitters are used in lieu of loudspeakers to emit a custom-generated ultrasonic wave with the proper difference frequency characteristics to produce audible sound within and throughout a tightly formed beam. Audible sound is not created on the surface of the ultrasonic emitter—a significant departure from a direct radiating loudspeaker.  Instead, the audible sound is generated in the air itself and is focused and directed. For example, if the acoustic beam is directed towards a wall, the sound first emanates from the surface of the wall, not from the emitter, as would be with a conventional loudspeaker. Or, if the acoustic beam is directed to a person, the sound is created at the person. This directionality allows sound to be focused or “beamed” in space or diffused from a surface in a variety of ways to produce desired and controllable effects. Also, the sound does not spread or dissipate at the same rate over distance as it does with traditional speakers. This unique feature provides improved intelligibility at selected distant points with less energy than traditional speakers, creating the ability to communicate directed sound at longer distances.

Traditionally parametric sound reproduction, while offering high directivity, suffered from lower sound volume and higher distortion than direct radiating speakers. In 2010 and 2011 we made technical progress to improve sound volume from a given emitter size and we have a development pathway that we believe will further improve output volume. Our January 2012 introduction of a new generation of electronics combining a new DSP and software enhancements made a dramatic improvement in sound quality whereupon we believe our distortion is comparable or less than many traditional speakers. We continue research to enhance the volume and quality of our sound output but believe we can meet the audio needs of our target markets. An ultrasonic beam such as employed by us can also overdrive a microphone preamp directly in the beam and we have designed and intend to employ in consumer applications steps to minimize this effect.
 
A typical sound solution for our targeted applications includes (a) inputs able to accept any user media source (typically a computer, internet device, a DVD player, mp3 player, radio or microphone), (b) an amplifier and related control electronics, and (c) direct-radiating speakers. Whereas a parametric sound solution includes (a) inputs also able to accept any user media sources, (b) custom processing and control electronics allowing an amplifier to drive emitters and (c) ultrasonic emitters. Parametric solutions to date, including prior HSS product models offered by LRAD Corporation and products offered by competitors, have generally demonstrated lower sound volume, higher distortion and higher costs than standard sound systems in comparable applications.
 
HSS employs proprietary emitter technology employing custom thin piezo film manufactured pursuant to our formulation. Our intellectual property includes the film formulation and methods to reliably produce emitters using this custom film. We depend on a single piezo-film supplier, Measurement Specialties Inc., to provide expertise and materials used in our proprietary emitters. We believe that the other components incorporated from our products can be obtained from multiple supply sources.  As such, we do not believe that our other current suppliers are material to the operation of our business at this time.
 
We believe our new processing and control electronics address some of the competitive issues (primarily high cost and low output volume) that faced this technology in the past compared to traditional audio. We believe our new design offers customers higher volume with wider frequency response and reduced distortion while being simpler to install and more economical to produce. We intend to continually improve and update our technology to improve output and performance. We also intend to develop new form factors of emitter and electronics designs for new markets.
 
Target Markets
 
Our initial focus and proof of technology has been on the use of directed sound in the digital signage, point-of-purchase, in-store networks and related markets and applications. We believe our HSS-3000 product line meets the current requirements of these customers. Our technology also addresses other commercial applications including kiosks, POS terminals and slot machines and we are developing new form factors for our emitters to meet the requirements to serve these customers. Our future development roadmap focuses on new designs to adapt our technology for computers and video gaming. Further research and development is planned to create solutions for televisions, home theater, mobile and cinema applications.
 
We plan to focus our efforts on proprietary audio solutions targeting the following markets:
 
Commercial Applications
Consumer Applications
   
Digital Signage
Personal Computers
Kiosks and Point-of-Sale Terminals
Video Gaming
Electronic Gaming (Slot) Machines
Televisions
Movies and Cinema
Home Theater
 
Mobile Devices

Digital Signage
 
Digital signage is a highly effective and growing form of direct advertising. Our directed audio solutions are designed to deliver sound to targeted patrons, reduces ambient noise clutter, with minimal disruption of commerce. In July 2011, we commenced sales of our HSS-3000 products, and in January 2012, we introduced important upgrades to improve performance that we believe will accelerate sales in this market segment. The market for digital signage worldwide – based on the total revenue to manufacturers (primarily displays, media players, set top boxes, computers, networks and software) – reached $5 billion at the end of 2010, according to a report from IMS Research with growth to 2013 forecast to be 40% to $7 billion. We target new customers and new applications for directed audio in this growing market. We also pursue opportunities to add our solution to existing installations to clearly communicate to targeted patrons and reduce ambient noise clutter. Our prospective customers are generally worldwide value added resellers (VARs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), integrators and professional audio distributors that install, sell or provide digital signage solutions or products to end-user businesses.

Kiosks and Point-of-Sale Terminals
 
We believe directed audio enhances interactive kiosks and point-of-sale (POS) terminals by directly and clearly communicating to the user, increasing privacy and reducing the effect of ambient noise. Our audio solution is designed to allow multiple adjacent devices. Interactive kiosks and related computer terminals power applications for communication, commerce, entertainment, and education. According to ABI Research the number of interactive kiosks deployed globally will rise from 1.6 million in 2011 to nearly 3 million in 2016. Generally our customers are expected to be leading kiosk and POS equipment manufacturers with our audio integrated into devices to differentiate them in the marketplace. We have sold and expect to continue to offer HSS-3000 and future products for aftermarket installation in existing kiosk installations wishing to add directed audio.
 
Electronic Gaming (Slot) Machines
 
Electronic gaming or slot machines are becoming increasingly sophisticated computerized entertainment devices. We believe the dramatic increase in themed games and the use of higher quality video displays including 3D displays contribute to a need for directed audio focused on the patron but also on our ability to deliver enhanced audio from just two emitters. Use of our enhanced directed audio offers patrons a distinct sound experience unattainable from traditional audio. According to research by Taylor Nelson Sofres Plc, there were over 4.2 million casino style electronic gaming machines operating globally in 2010 with over 840,000 in North America. According to the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers, the U.S. gaming equipment manufacturing sector produced $11.5 billion in revenues in 2010. We believe this highly competitive industry with a heavy emphasis on innovation is an attractive market for partnering or licensing of our products and technology to the leading producers of electronic gaming equipment. We believe we can offer leading OEM manufacturers an important method to differentiate their product offerings from competitors to achieve increased market acceptance.
 
Personal Computers
 
Our enhanced audio solution complements computers by delivering a more robust sound image and directing and focusing sound to what is typically an individual computer user. Our ultra-thin emitter accompanies flat and thin computer monitors and laptops that are growing rapidly in use worldwide. According to the Computer Industry Almanac, there are over 310 million personal computers in use in the U.S. and over 1.6 billion globally. Sales of personal computers are expected to be over 400 million units globally in 2012. We intend to target computer manufacturers to license our technology to integrate emitters into computers. We also plan to pursue licensing to aftermarket suppliers of computer speakers.
 
Video Gaming
 
We believe the increased sophistication of video gaming including higher resolution images, more realistic and interactive content and the use of 3D displays creates a growing opportunity for our enhanced audio. Our ability to create a 3D sound image from just two thin emitters complements many gaming platforms, whether computers, consoles or in the future portable devices.  The world video game market (equipment and software) will be $68 billion in 2012 according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Our strategy is to license our technology for suppliers serving this industry which includes computer manufacturers, aftermarket suppliers of computer and game console speakers, and video game and mobile game equipment suppliers both new and aftermarket.
 
Televisions
 
Directing sound to television viewers allows for an enhanced audio experience. Since the advent of flat panel display manufacturers have been focused on creating the thinnest form factor often at the expense of sound quality. Currently television audio is often enhanced through aftermarket surround sound speaker systems in which up to 7 speakers are positioned throughout a listening location. This gives the listener a more immersive surround sound experience. We believe we can develop our technology to offer a unique immersive experience superior to surround sound systems from just two front emitters integrated directly into a television set or sold as an aftermarket accessory. We believe that our technology can offer significant value to both segments of this market.
 
 
20

 
 
Our emitters extremely thin form factor can be easily integrated into a similarly flat panel display including 3D displays. Our technology requires no box, creates no back wave and can be mounted right against a wall yet produce full and robust sound. Our strategy is to target the flat panel television market through licensing of our technology for integration into equipment produced by the leading OEM manufacturers as well as aftermarket purveyors of sound equipment. According to IHS iSuppli Research flat panel TV shipments were over 214 million units in 2010 expected to grow to over 289 million in 2015 with a total value exceeding $149 billion.  Shipments of 3D TVs in this category are expected to grow to 54 million in 2012.
 
Home Theater
 
The market for home theater systems complements the flat panel television market but generally consist of larger systems designed to produce a cinema experience in the home. We plan to develop our technology for this application by making larger emitters and enabling existing audio encoding by Dolby and others, including surround sound. Our goal is to offer a robust, distinct enhanced audio experience from just front emitters.
 
Mobile Devices
 
There is growing adoption in both mature and emerging markets of new mobile platforms for consumer and business use of digital content, such as tablets and smartphones. These platforms are experiencing strong growth  and we believe that our technology’s thin form factor and our ability to direct sound to a user has the ability to enhance the audio experience of such mobile platforms. Currently sound from these devices is of poor quality and low volume which requires many users to use headphones to hear the audio. By directing sound to a single listener, the user will be able to have a private experience without the use of headphones as the sound can be directed primarily to the listener. Since tablet devices are larger in size they are an initial target market as the requirements for miniaturization of our technology are less stringent. As we further develop and miniaturize our technology we believe that we have the potential to meet the requirements of the large growing smartphone market.
 
The market for tablet devices is expected to be 86 million units globally in 2012. Global smartphone shipments in 2010 exceeded 300 million units according to International Data Corporation representing a 74% growth from 2009.
 
Movies and Cinema
 
We also plan to scale our technology for larger environments for use in cinemas. There are approximately 40,000 movie screens in the United States according to the National Association of Theater Owners.
 
Existing Products
 
We believe that our HSS-3000 HyperSonic Sound Audio System, which consists of a HSS-3000 Amplifier and one or more HSS-3000 Emitters, is proof of our current technology platform. We offer the HSS-3000 Amplifier in two models, a single-channel (monaural) system and a two-channel (stereophonic) system. Generally the single-channel system is sold with one emitter but can accommodate and be configured for two emitters where additional output or wider area coverage is desired. The two-channel system is generally sold with two emitters but can be used with one, two or configured for four emitters.
 
The HSS-3000 Emitter features a 5 inch by 10 inch emitter surface and is separate from the amplifier, offering varied installation options. One or more emitters is connected to an HSS-3000 Amplifier with standard speaker wire providing installation flexibility separate from the media sources. Generally emitters are installed on or in a wall, on or in a ceiling or ceiling tile, on or in a kiosk or other video device, on a separate stand, or by other methods that allow sound to be targeted at a specific audience.
 
 
21

 
 
Our HSS-3000 products are targeted primarily at the digital signage market where our product solutions are designed to mitigate the effects of sound clutter often attributable to direct advertising products. In-store display advertising tends to irritate customers if too intrusive or loud and annoy workers due to repetition. However, we believe research continues to demonstrate that direct advertising and digital signage are highly effective. For example, an Arbitron Retail Media study published in 2005 summarized research indicating that 25% of patrons think retail audio commercials and promotions would influence their buying decisions and that 41% of those recalling retail audio made a purchase they were not previously planning to make. While there are applications for our products that don’t rely on video screens, for example above a museum display, and there are many screens intended for static display without sound, we believe the majority of existing and future digital signage screen installations are potential outlets for our directed audio solutions.
 
Our products are designed to achieve focused, controlled sound that targets only those customers situated in specified locations such that nearby customers and store clerks do not hear the message. We believe the ability to focus sound is a driving feature of our audio solution. We believe our technology offers a number of advantages:
 
 
·
delivery of more effective advertisements to store patrons;
 
 
·
ability to create a beam of sound and place it only where it is intended;
 
 
·
ability to direct advertising to patrons while limiting the noise that interferes with workers or the conduct of commerce at checkout or other locations;
 
 
·
ability to manipulate or selectively position or diffuse the source of sound;
 
 
·
ability to deliver a beam of sound over longer distances than conventional speakers, such as down a grocery store aisle or from a tall box store ceiling; and
 
 
·
ability to penetrate other competing ambient sounds.
 
Strategy
 
Our strategy is to leverage our intellectual property to partner with large OEMs to accelerate our product acceptance into our target market areas.  We believe that we will continue to strengthen our market position as the leader in directed audio by continuing to improve our technology, broadening our product line, identify new directed audio applications, acquiring new OEM and VAR partners, expanding relationships with existing partners, and developing worldwide awareness of the benefits of directed audio and awareness of our HyperSound brand.
 
Marketing Strategy
 
We are developing a market position for our technology as a method to enhance stereo content to produce a clear, distinct and robust sound image from just two thin emitters. While applicable to many consumer products, we also intend to target the emerging and rapidly growing 3D video market to reproduce 3D sound for computers, video gaming, homes and theaters. We intend to develop awareness of the immersive sound experience produced by HyperSound technology, focus development activities on identified consumer applications, develop new applications for our enhanced sound and create a licensing business for HyperSound technology.
 
Product Development and Licensing Strategy
 
Our business strategy is to identify large high-growth markets, develop needed technology solutions and features, and license to established industry partners and OEMs to make products incorporating our technologies widely available to consumers.  We intend to develop functional prototypes in each market vertical to demonstrate the viability of our products, and leverage the prototypes to attract key joint development partners. We intend to license our technology and work with planned partners to help develop and commercialize products. Although we may be required to provide certain manufacturing services or arrange manufacturing of components for certain licensees, our main focus is to obtain most of our revenues through licensing. We believe that we can develop a position as a leader in audio by employing the strategy of designing a stream of patented audio products, penetrating new licensing accounts and developing strong brand awareness.
 
 
22

 
 
Manufacturing Strategy
 
We have established in-house production capability for our HSS-3000 product line and believe we have proven initial manufacturability and met the technical requirements for the digital signage market. We also are working to develop contract manufacturing to provide greater capacity for our product sales in commercial markets and as a resource for future licensees, OEMs and VARs who may desire to access capacity for the expanded consumer markets that we are pursuing. We believe that the manufacturing protocols we have established to address the digital signage market will directly translate to the other market verticals that we are pursuing. 
 
Manufacturing and Suppliers
 
Consistent with our manufacturing strategy, we expect to assist licensees to develop manufacturing or arrange contract manufacturers to provide components to our licensing partners.
 
Currently our in-house manufacturing capability consists of custom robotic manufacturing equipment used to automate the production of our emitter sub-assemblies reducing the labor component and permitting higher volume production. Our electronics are produced by a contract manufacturer from part kits we supply that are sourced from a variety of suppliers. We rely on one supplier for our emitter film. We purchase molded plastic and stamped metal parts from a supplier and assemble and test our final products at our assembly facility located in San Diego County, California. The loss of any of these suppliers could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
 
Our technology is substantially different from proven, mass-produced sound transducer designs, and manufacturing and assembly involves new processes and specialty materials. We believe the production processes we have established and tested are scalable to high quantity mass production by contractors or licensees. We believe quality manufacturing is essential to the performance of our products and the growth of our product business and the success of any future licensees.
 
Selling, Marketing and Customers
 
We currently sell our products directly to customers using our executive officers and employees. We employ one full-time sales employee, formerly responsible for HSS sales at LRAD Corporation. We sell primarily to commercial customers, integrators and value added resellers (VARs) to use our sound solution in their products and services. We also sell to distributors and may in the future engage independent selling representatives. There can be no assurance we can build adequate distribution through these or other methods.
 
On December 29, 2011, we engaged director Kenneth F. Potashner, an experienced technology executive, as a consultant to develop strategies for a range of markets including both commercial and consumer. On March 5, 2012, we appointed Mr. Potashner as our Executive Chairman with responsibilities to lead our Board of Directors in the formulation of and lead management in the execution of strategic growth initiatives as the Company’s principal executive officer. In such capacity we expect that he will execute our licensing strategy to major industry participants worldwide.
 
To implement our licensing sales strategy within our identified markets, we intend to use our management team supplemented by experienced consultants experienced in international licensing and business development. We may seek, in the future, to establish a direct licensing sales force. We intend to actively promote the use of our trademarks and logos and require customers to display appropriate branding on products and packaging and in advertising. We plan to work closely with licensees to enhance their success in selling finished products that incorporate our technologies through a variety of licensee support programs. These programs include engineering support, tradeshow support, publicity and media relations programs, customized marketing materials, advertising, and support at speaking engagements and industry conferences, as well as, conducting in-person technology demonstrations or presentations for the press and other companies to promote our technologies and products.
 
We also plan to regularly participate in tradeshows and conferences to increase awareness of who we are and what we do and to market our technology and products.

Customer Concentration
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2011, revenues from two customers accounted for 55% and 11% of total revenues. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, revenues from two customers accounted for 46% and 35% of total revenues. No other single customer represented more than 10% of total revenues. Sales commenced in July 2011 when the new HSS-3000 product series was introduced to market. We will continue in the near future to be reliant on a few large customers or distributors and the loss of customers could have a material impact on our financial results.
 
Research and Development and Patent Impairment Expenses
 
For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we expended $230,705 and $126,397, respectively, on research and development. For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we expended $619,378 and $229,400, respectively, on research and development. During fiscal 2011 we introduced our new HSS-3000 product line and continue to make improvements to our product solutions. We also continue to develop new products and accordingly anticipate that we will continue to devote substantial resources to research and development activities.
 
For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $28,616 and $325,818, respectively, for impairment expenses related to patents no longer deemed necessary for our business strategy and resulting from the new product design. We concluded that certain historical patents are no longer required for our products or as defensive or blocking patents.
 
Warranties
 
We warrant our products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period up to one year from the date of purchase. The warranty generally is a limited warranty, and in some instances impose certain shipping costs on the customer. We expect in most cases it may be more economical and effective to replace a defective part, whether amplifier or emitter, rather than repair, but in the future we may establish repair warranty service directly or through others.
 
Competition
 
Our technologies and products compete with those of other companies. The consumer, commercial and government audio industry markets are fragmented and competitive and include numerous manufacturers with audio products varying widely in price, quality and distribution channels. Many of our present and potential future competitors have substantially greater resources to devote to further technological and new product developments.
 
We believe our HSS-3000 product series is the leading parametric sound system with limited direct competition offering comparable directivity. Companies with non-parametric products promoted as directed sound applications include Brown Innovations, Inc., the producer of Sound Domes, and Panphonics, producer of the Sound Shower large panel speaker. Other companies produce or have in the past attempted to introduce parametric speaker concepts for directed sound applications. Holosonic Research Labs, Inc. produces a parametric speaker called the Audio Spotlight and Mitsubishi has sold a parametric speaker product in Japan. These companies and others employ or have employed electrostatic and piezoelectric emitter devices or other concepts that we believe have lower output and are more expensive than our proprietary solution. However, these competitors or others may introduce products with features and performance competitive to our products and some also have significant advantages over us including name or brand recognition and financial resources. We believe we compete favorably against the aforementioned products based on factors including our ease of use, greater directivity, reduced cost and overall performance.
 
The digital signage market also uses large numbers of traditional commercial direct-radiating sound products where directed or focused audio is not required or desired or where customers have not been exposed to the advantages of directed audio to communicate. Accordingly we compete with a diverse range of traditional commercial sound manufacturers worldwide, many with substantially greater resources and distribution.

As we enter the consumer market for speakers in computers, gaming devices and home audio applications, we will compete within an audio industry that is fragmented and competitive and includes numerous manufacturers offering audio products that vary widely in price, quality and distribution methods. Manufacturers such as Harmon International Industries, Bose, Kipsch, Polk Audio, Pioneer, Sony, Boston Acoustics, LG, Samsung and many other large competitors with substantially greater resources to devote to advancing their technologies and developing and marketing new products and technologies. While we seek to license these and others, we will compete for revenues in a market with declining prices and slim margins. We believe that we can compete based primarily on the quality and performance of our proprietary technology and our ability to meet OEMs’ needs to differentiate their products.
 
Seasonality
 
We do not currently expect to experience any significant seasonality trends, although seasonality trends may occur in the future.
 
Government Regulation
 
Our electronic products are subject to various regulations and are required to meet the specifications of agencies in the United States and in countries where we export our products. We believe we are in substantial compliance with all current applicable regulations, and we have all material governmental permits, licenses, qualifications and approvals required for our operations in the United States and elsewhere.
 
Our parametric sound technology is subject to control under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, and the associated regulations promulgated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as an electrical emitter of ultrasonic vibrations. Under the terms of such regulations, LRAD Corporation provided an abbreviated report to the FDA describing the technology. The FDA may respond to the report and request changes or safeguards to the technology, but it has not done so to date. We also are required to notify the FDA in writing should a product be found to have a defect relating to safety of use due to the emission of electronic product radiation. We do not believe our technology poses any human health risks. However, it is possible that we, or one of our customers, could be required to modify the technology, or a product incorporating the technology, to comply with requirements that may be imposed by the FDA.
 
In the United States, our products must comply with various regulations and standards defined by the Federal Communications Commission and the Consumer Products Safety Commission. Internationally, our products must comply with regulations or standards established by authorities in the countries into which we sell our products, as well as various multinational or extranational bodies. The European Union, or EU, has issued a directive on the restriction of certain hazardous substances in electronic and electrical equipment, known as RoHs, and has enacted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive, or WEEE, applicable to persons who import electrical or electronic equipment into Europe. We believe our products are compliant with these emerging regulations. We are implementing measures to comply with each of these directives but as individual EU nations adopt implementation guidelines these rules could become more stringent which could require us to both redesign our products to comply with the standards and develop compliance administration systems. Although we believe our products are in compliance with domestic and international standards and regulations in countries to which we export, we can offer no assurances that our product offerings will remain compliant with evolving standards and regulations.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We have a substantial base of intellectual property assets including patents, pending licensed patents, trademarks and tradecraft and trade secrets such as know-how. We operate in an industry where innovations, investment in new ideas and protection of resulting intellectual property rights are important to success. We expect to rely on a variety of intellectual property protections for our products and technologies, including contractual obligations, and we intend to pursue a policy of vigorously enforcing such rights.
 
In connection with the spin-off, LRAD Corporation contributed to us 28 U.S. patents, three foreign patents and several pending patents.  We reviewed the patents in connection with our technology strategy and abandoned some by not paying renewal fees or continuing prosecution of pending applications. At December 31, 2011 we owned 21 U.S. patents, two foreign patents and five pending patents. We consider seven U.S. patents and our pending patents as directly supporting our technology platform and consider our other patents to be defensive or blocking in nature. We continually evaluate our patent strategy based on new developments and information and may reclassify certain patents in the future depending on such information. We also believe we own important tradecraft and trade secrets related to our technology and in the design and production of our emitters.
 
 
25

 
 
In addition to such factors as innovation, technological expertise and experienced personnel, we believe that a strong patent position is important to compete effectively and engage in licensing in the sound reproduction industry. We have an ongoing policy of filing patent applications to seek protection for novel features of our products and technologies. Prior to the filing and granting of patents, our policy is to disclose key features to patent counsel and maintain these features as trade secrets prior to product introduction. Patent applications may not result in issued patents covering all important claims and could be denied in their entirety.
 
The electronics industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Others, including academic institutions and competitors, hold numerous patents in electronics and sound reproduction. Although we are not aware of any existing patents that would materially inhibit our ability to continue to commercialize our technology; others may assert claims in the future. Such claims, with or without merit, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
The validity of our existing patents has not been adjudicated by any court. Competitors may bring legal action to challenge the validity of our existing or future patents or may attempt to circumvent the protection provided by such patents. The failure to obtain patent protection or the loss of patent protection on our existing and future technologies or the circumvention of our patents by competitors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete successfully.
 
We retain three U.S. trade names along with additional foreign rights to some of the names. We intend to file for trade name and trademark protection when appropriate. Trade names or trademarks may not be successfully maintained, defended or protected.
 
Our policy is to enter into nondisclosure agreements with each employee and consultant or third party to whom any of our proprietary information is disclosed. These agreements prohibit the disclosure of confidential information to others, both during and subsequent to employment or the duration of the working relationship. These agreements may not prevent disclosure of confidential information or provide adequate remedies for any breach.

PROPERTIES
 
Our corporate executive office is located at 1941 Ramrod Avenue, Suite #100, Henderson, Nevada. We rent approximately 500 square feet of space at this location on a month-to-month basis. We believe we could locate other nearby space should this space become unavailable to us.
 
Commencing June 1, 2011, we leased 3,498 square feet of improved assembly and warehouse space in Poway, California. This lease terminates June 30, 2013 and is subject to a two-year market price extension option. The gross monthly base rent is $3,498 through May 31, 2012 thereafter increasing to $3,603 per month for the term of the lease, subject to certain future adjustments. Our President, Elwood G. Norris, executed a personal guarantee of the lease without compensation. We believe this space is adequate for our production needs for the foreseeable future.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings as of the date of this prospectus. However, we may at times in the future become involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. We will also, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in our financial statements for pending litigation. Litigation is expensive and is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in any such matters could adversely impact our operating results or financial condition. Additionally, any litigation to which we may become subject could also require significant involvement of our senior management and may divert management’s attention from our business and operations.
 
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Equity Compensation Plan Information
 
On September 27, 2010, we adopted the Parametric Sound Corporation 2010 Stock Option Plan. The 2010 Plan authorizes the granting of options to purchase up to 600,000 shares of our common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants, after giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2011, with respect to compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance, aggregated as follows, after giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part:

On December 29, 2011 we adopted the 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”) providing authority to grant options on 253,000 shares of common stock remaining available for issuance under the 2010 Plan and new authority for an additional 600,000 shares of common stock. The 2012 Plan replaced the 2010 Plan but awards previously granted under the 2010 Plan remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Any outstanding option grants that expire or terminate, other than through exercise or share settlement, under the 2010 Plan will also become eligible for grant under the 2012 Plan. Subsequent to adoption of the 2012 Plan we granted options, net of cancellations, on 671,000 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $3.51 per share including options on 450,000 shares to directors. In December 2011 two of our executive officers exercised options on 95,000 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $1.62. Because the 2012 Plan was adopted after the end of our fiscal year, the options authorized under the 2012 Plan are not included in the table above.
 
DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK
 
The following description of our capital stock is subject to and qualified in its entirety by our articles of incorporation and bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and by the provisions of applicable Nevada law.
 
Prior to the consummation of this offering, we will amend our articles of incorporation to effectuate the reverse stock split described in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. A copy of the form of amendment to our articles of incorporation is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
Authorized Capitalization
 
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of March 16 , 2012, we had 4,303,406 shares of common stock outstanding, giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.  Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded.  If the approval of our stockholders is not so required, our Board of Directors may determine not to seek stockholder approval.

Common Stock
 
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by our stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any future outstanding preferred stock, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.
 
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.
 
Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “PAMT.” The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Interwest Transfer Company, Inc.  Its address is 1981 Murray Holladay Road, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT  84117, and its telephone number is (801) 272-9294.
 
Preferred Stock
 
Our Board of Directors has the authority, without action by our stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series, which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of our preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until our Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of our preferred stock. However, the effects might include, among other things:
 
 
·
restricting dividends on our common stock;
 
 
·
diluting the voting power of our common stock;
 
 
·
impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock; or
 
 
·
delaying or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by our stockholders.
 
No shares of our preferred stock are outstanding, and we have no present plans to issue any shares of our preferred stock.
 
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
 
Nevada law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or preferred stock may be to enable our Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
 
Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws
 
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make more difficult the acquisition of Parametric Sound by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are summarized below.
 
Undesignated Preferred Stock. The authorization of our undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board of Directors to issue our preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes of control of our management.
 
Size of Board and Vacancies. Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in our authorized number of directors or any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by stockholder vote, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors.
 
 
29

 
 
No Cumulative Voting. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
 
Stockholder Meetings. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by our chairman, our chief executive officer or at the direction of our Board of Directors.
 
Nevada Laws
 
We are incorporated in Nevada.  Certain provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, could delay or make more difficult a change of control transaction or other business combination that may be beneficial to our stockholders.  We are subject to Nevada’s “Combinations With Interested Stockholders” statutes (NRS Sections 78.411 through 78.444), which provide that specified persons who, together with affiliates and associates, own, or within three years did own, 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders cannot engage in specified business combinations with the corporation for a period of three years after the date on which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the combination or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation’s Board of Directors before the person first became an interested stockholder.
 
Nevada’s “Acquisition of Controlling Interest” statutes (NRS Sections 78.378–78.3793) apply only to Nevada Corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and which conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada.  As of the date of this prospectus, we do not believe we have 100 stockholders of record who are residents of Nevada, although there can be no assurance that in the future the “Acquisition of Controlling Interest” statutes will not apply to us.  The “Acquisition of Controlling Interest” statutes provide that persons who acquire a “controlling interest,” as defined in NRS Section 78.3785, in a company may only be given full voting rights in their shares if such rights are conferred by the disinterested stockholders of the company at an annual or special meeting.  However, any disinterested stockholder that does not vote in favor of granting such voting rights is entitled to demand that the company pay fair value for their shares, if the acquiring person has acquired at least a majority of all of the voting power of the company.  As such, persons acquiring a controlling interest may not be able to vote their shares.
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors”.
 
We are a technology company with a substantial body of intellectual property focused on delivering novel audio solutions. Our HyperSonic Sound¨ (ÒHSS¨Ó) technology pioneered the practical application of parametric acoustic technology for generating sound along a directional ultrasonic column. Our HSS-3000 product line delivers directed audio solutions to customers primarily for digital signage, point-of-purchase, in-store network and related applications that benefit from focused sound targeted to specific locations. Our principal markets are North America, Europe and Asia.
 
Organization
 
In April 2010, the Board of Directors of LRAD Corporation approved a plan to separate its HSS product line into a new independent, stand-alone company. In a special meeting of stockholders held June 2, 2010, the proposal to separate the HSS business from LRAD was approved, and on June 2, 2010, LRAD created a new wholly owned subsidiary, Parametric Sound Corporation (ÒweÓ, ÒusÓ, ÒourÓ, ÒParametric SoundÓ or the ÒcompanyÓ), into which the HSS business and substantially all of the assets of the business and associated intellectual property rights were contributed.
 
 
30

 
 
All outstanding shares of our common stock were distributed to the stockholders of LRAD Corporation on September 27, 2010 (“Spin-Off”), at a ratio of one share of Parametric Sound common stock for each two shares of LRAD Corporation’s common stock held as of the record date of September 10, 2010. LRAD Corporation retained no ownership or other form of interest in us subsequent to the Spin-Off. Following the Spin-Off, our operations consist solely of the operations described herein. In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a separation agreement and a tax sharing agreement with LRAD Corporation.
 
Liquidity/Going Concern
 
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis contemplating the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred a net loss of $531,017 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and $1,484,458 for the year ended September 30, 2011 and have financed our operations to date from debt and equity financings. As of December 31, 2011, our working capital balance was $16,502 and we have no other sources of available financing. In July 2011, we commenced deliveries of our HSS-3000 products. There can be no assurance that our products will achieve the market success necessary to achieve profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our operations. We will be reliant on existing working capital or on obtaining additional debt or equity financing sufficient to sustain operations until profitability and positive cash flow can be achieved.
 
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to grow revenues, and if necessary, to obtain additional financing from outside sources. Our plans include (a) increasing HSS-3000 revenues from legacy customers and by obtaining new commercial customers, (b) developing and introducing new or improved products and audio solutions targeted for consumer audio markets, (c) pursuing a partnering and licensing strategy to commercialize products in consumer markets, (d) exercising cost controls to conserve cash, and (e) obtaining public or private financing. We intend on financing our market expansion and activities from the sale of public securities or obtaining additional financing from other traditional financing sources. There is no assurance that we will be successful in our plans in generating funds or obtaining financing to sustain operations for twelve months or beyond. Should we be unable to generate funds from operations or obtain required financing, we may have to curtail operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to liquidate our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Challenges, Opportunities, and Uncertainties
 
We are unable to predict the market acceptance of our products or the level of future sales or the success of any future licensing activities. We offer HSS-3000 audio systems at more competitive prices than previous generations and we believe this creates new opportunities for directed sound.
 
In January 2012, we announced a product upgrade that we believe improves our digital signage offering and open other market applications. Our upgraded HSS technology has been designed to produce a crisp, clean and unique sound image enhancing stereo output to produce a robust 3D sound image from just two thin emitters. We believe there are opportunities for HSS technology in computers, gaming devices, TVs and home audio applications. We are unable to predict the level of acceptance of our technology in existing or these new markets. Our strategy is to continue to pursue product sales but also engage in licensing to others especially for applications in consumer markets.
 
We are reliant on our existing resources or possible future debt or equity financing for working capital. We may need additional capital to grow revenues or pay operating costs until sustained profitability is achieved. Obtaining any required additional financing in the future could be a significant management challenge and failure to secure financing, if necessary, would have a material adverse affect on our company. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and, if necessary, obtaining additional financing.
 
Given our limited personnel and financial resources, we face significant challenges in growing our business. The continued global economic downturn could increase the challenges in operating our business. We expect we will need to continue to innovate new applications for our sound technology, develop new products to meet diverse customer requirements and identify and develop new markets for our products.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which we refer to as U.S. GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to valuation of inventory, impairment of patent assets, the fair value of share-based compensation and warrants, valuation of acquired intangible assets and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. These include revenue recognition, reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable, warranty liabilities, impairments, contingencies, share-based compensation and valuation of acquired intangible assets. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results.
 
Balances and Expenses Assignment and Allocations
 
Our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010 include revenues and cost of revenues directly attributable to the HSS product business prior to the Spin-Off as well as other direct and allocated operating expenses. In circumstances where costs were shared, management used estimates to allocate expenses incurred by LRAD Corporation on behalf of the business included in our financial statements. Management believes that the assumptions and methods of allocation used and included in our financial statements are reasonable. However, the costs allocated to us are not necessarily indicative of the costs we would have incurred if we had operated as a stand-alone entity during fiscal 2010 nor indicative of costs we may incur in future periods. The financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and for the year ended September 30, 2011 reflect the activities of our operations as a stand-alone company.
 
Revenue Recognition and Product Costs
 
Product sales to customers, including resellers, are recognized in the periods that products are shipped to customers (FOB shipping point) or received by customers (FOB destination), when the fee is fixed or determinable, when collection of resulting receivables is probable and there are no remaining obligations on our part. Our customers do not have the right to return product unless the product is found to be defective. Product costs include direct manufacturing costs and allocated overhead that require estimates to allocate various costs to product results.
 
Impairments
 
Our inventory is comprised of raw materials, assemblies and finished products. We must periodically make judgments and estimates regarding the future utility and carrying value of our inventory. The carrying value of our inventory is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected future benefit from our inventory is less than its carrying value. 
 
Intangible assets consist of patents, pending licensed patents and trademarks that are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We make judgments and estimates regarding the future utility and carrying value of intangible assets, and such assets are periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected future benefit to be derived from an individual intangible asset is less than its carrying value.
 
Share-based Compensation
 
We account for share-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” requiring the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees based on estimated fair values. ASC 718 requires the use of subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, forfeitures and the estimated term of each award. If actual results differ significantly from our estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.

Deferred Tax Asset
 
We have provided a full valuation reserve related to our deferred tax assets. In the future, if sufficient evidence of our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions becomes apparent, we may be required to reduce our valuation allowances, resulting in income tax benefits in our statement of operations. We evaluate quarterly the realizability of the deferred tax assets and assess the need for a valuation allowance. Utilizing the net operating loss carry forwards in future years could be substantially limited due to restrictions imposed under federal and state laws upon a change in ownership or control.
 
Warranty Liabilities
 
We establish a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. This reserve requires us to make estimates regarding the amount and costs of warranty repairs we expect to make over a period of time. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold, anticipated cost of warranty repairs, and anticipated rates of warranty claims. If actual results differ significantly from our estimates, cost of sales and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
 
Revenues, Product Costs and Operating Expenses
 
In July 2011 we commenced sales of our HSS-3000 HyperSonic Sound Audio Systems. We are building awareness with sales to legacy customers retained from our 2010 spin-off while pursuing larger volume new customers. We also intend to pursue technology licensing opportunities. Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $64,781 and we expect digital signage sales to grow in future quarters. We are encouraged by initial customer response to our January 2012 product upgrade. We believe our economical solution meets the audio needs of the most demanding digital signage, kiosk and point-of-sale terminal customer. But we cannot predict the degree of future acceptance by existing or new customers or the level of future product revenues and margins. There can also be no assurance we can be successful in licensing our technology in new markets.
 
The actual level of future selling, general and administrative expenses will be dependent on staffing levels, elections regarding the use of outside resources, public company and regulatory costs, the impact of noncash stock-based compensation costs and other factors, some outside our control. The scope and magnitude of our future research and development expenses are difficult to predict at this time. Although we have successfully completed development of our first HSS-3000 products, our research and development efforts are focused on a product development roadmap to further enhance our product offerings and create products for new markets. The timing and amounts required for these efforts are difficult to estimate at this time but could be substantial. Historical operating expenditures are not necessarily indicative of future expenditures.
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, our operating costs, net of non-cash share based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses, were approximately $115,000 per month. Our operating costs could increase significantly as we expand markets for our products or expand production, distribution, service and administrative functions in future months. We may also incur future financing costs and noncash share-based compensation costs depending on future option grants that are impacted by stock prices and other valuation factors.
 
Results of Operations
 
The following is a discussion of the results of our operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Because of the significant organizational, personnel and structural business changes, reported revenues and expenditures prior to the Spin-Off are not indicative of future results of operations. However our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011 reflect the activities of our operations as a stand-alone company.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
 
Revenues
 
Revenues were $64,781 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and reflected sales primarily to legacy customers retained from our 2010 spin-off. We are pursuing new customers for our HSS-3000 product line focusing on the digital signage, kiosk and point-of-sale terminal markets. We were in product development in the prior comparable quarter and had no revenues. We had no significant backlog at December 31, 2011.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $39,865. The margin was positively impacted from usage of parts valued at $3,059 that had inventory obsolescence and excess parts allowances recorded in prior years. Product costs included 5% royalties of $3,194 to related party Syzygy that due to the technology assignment effected on December 29, 2011 will not be incurred in future periods. We continue to implement volume pricing and production strategies, product updates and changes, including raw material and component changes that may impact margins. With such product updates and changes we have limited warranty cost experience and estimated future warranty costs can impact our gross margins. We do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $338,959, compared to $129,344 during the comparable period ended December 31, 2010. These amounts included non-cash share based compensation expenses of $152,291 and $19,594, respectively. Other major cost categories for the most recent quarter included compensation costs of $64,000 (including $32,580 of deferred officer compensation), trade show and promotion expenses of $14,400, professional fees of $62,500, public company costs of $30,000 and occupancy costs of $6,000. Compared to the prior comparable quarter, professional fees increased by $48,000 due to increased legal, auditing, meeting and filing costs. We believe selling, general and administrative costs may increase in future quarters as a result of decisions regarding trade shows, marketing, travel and staffing.
 
Research and Development Expenses and Patent Impairment Expense
 
Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $230,705, compared to $126,397 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2010. These research and development expenses included non-cash share based compensation expenses of $44,011 and $19,381, respectively. Other major cost categories for the most recent quarter included compensation costs of $64,000 (including $23,520 of deferred officer compensation), $27,000 of outside engineering and consulting costs and $49,300 of prototype related costs. Compared to the prior comparable quarter, prototype related costs increased by $45,000 due to work on technology upgrades and new emitter development. The scope and magnitude of our future research and development expenses are difficult to predict as the amounts required for future product development costs are difficult to estimate but could be substantial.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2010 we expensed $14,242 for impaired patents no longer necessary to support our business strategy. We do not currently anticipate any material intangible asset impairment expense in future periods.
 
Other Expense
 
During the first quarter of the prior year we incurred interest and note discount amortization expense of $70,276 on previously outstanding subordinated notes. We currently have no interest bearing debt outstanding and accordingly had no comparable interest charges in the most recent quarter.
 
Net Loss
 
The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $531,017 and $325,940, respectively. The most recent period loss included $196,302 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses compared to $38,975 for the prior year’s first quarter. We expect to incur additional net losses until we are able to grow revenues to generate sufficient margins to cover operating costs.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
 
Revenues
 
Revenues were $79,167 for the year ended September 30, 2011, but due to the timing of our new product introduction, there were no sales prior to July 2011. We had no significant revenues during the first nine months of fiscal 2011. Revenues were $607,037 for the prior year ended September 30, 2010, all of which was generated from the sale of the prior H450 product. We do not believe prior year fiscal 2010 revenues of the legacy H450 product are indicative of future revenues that may be generated from our new HSS-3000 product line. We had no significant backlog at September 30, 2011.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the year ended September 30, 2011 was $43,643 (55% of revenues) compared to $101,461 (17% of revenues) for the year ended September 30, 2010.  The improved margin resulted primarily from our new product design and from usage of parts valued at $6,775 that had inventory obsolescence and excess parts allowances recorded in prior years. Reported margins for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of future margins. Our new products have different selling prices and a different cost and manufacturing structure than products sold in the prior year.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2011 were $572,325, compared to $446,857 during the year ended September 30, 2010. The most recent period included $94,031 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses compared to $4,299 for fiscal 2010. The prior year included allocations from LRAD Corporation of $215,667 along with $231,190 of mostly non-recurring spin-off and start-up legal, accounting and related costs associated with our separation from LRAD Corporation on September 27, 2010. A total of $160,580 of these costs were incurred by Syzygy, and were reimbursed by us at the Spin-Off date. The most recent year costs reflect our selling, general and administrative costs as an independent stand-alone company. Major cost categories for fiscal 2011 included the $94,031 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses, $227,000 of compensation costs (including a total of $126,000 deferred for Mr. Norris and Mr. Barnes) public company costs of $69,000, professional fees of $78,000, promotion and tradeshow costs of $41,000, occupancy costs of $37,000 and travel and entertainment costs of $23,000.
 
Research and Development Expenses and Intangible Assets and Inventory Impairment Expense
 
Research and development expenses for the year ended September 30, 2011 were $619,378. The prior year’s total was $229,400. The most recent period included $94,280 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses compared to none for fiscal 2010. LRAD Corporation did not have any development staff and did not incur new development costs for HSS during the prior year. Research and development expenses during fiscal 2010 included $178,725 of research and development expenses associated with our new HSS-3000 product line. A total of $76,607 of these costs were incurred by Syzygy and reimbursed by us at the spin-off date. The most recent year costs reflect our research and development activities as an independent stand-alone company. Major cost categories for fiscal 2011 included the $94,280 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses, $194,000 of compensation costs (including $84,000 deferred for Mr. Norris) prototype and testing costs of $111,000, consulting and outside engineering costs of $105,000, intangible assets, depreciation and amortization costs of $75,000 and travel and entertainment costs of $19,000.
 
Intangible assets and inventory impairment expenses in fiscal 2010 of $346,905 consisted of amounts expensed for patents no longer necessary to support our business strategy and an inventory impairment charge for parts not expected to be used in future production. During fiscal 2010 through the spin-off date a total of $62,798 was expensed for impaired patents and at September 30, 2010 we expensed an additional $263,020 related to patents that we determined are no longer applicable to the new product line either directly or as defensive blocking patents. We also expensed $21,087 as an inventory impairment charge. During fiscal 2011 we expensed an additional $28,616 for impaired patents as we continue to evaluate the utility of individual intangible assets each period. We do not currently anticipate any material intangible assets impairment expense in future periods.

Net Loss
 
Our net loss for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1,484,458 and $923,197, respectively. The current year loss included selling, general and administrative costs and increased research and development costs as a result of our operations as an independent company. The current year loss included $188,311 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonable likely to have a current or future effect on our financial statements, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
 
At December 31, 2011 we had cash of $334,358 and our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by approximately $16,500. We obtained $153,750 from the exercise of stock options by executive officers during the three months ended December 31, 2011.  During the year ended September 30, 2011, we obtained net proceeds of approximately $956,000 from the sale of common stock and $300,000 from the exercise of some of the related warrants.
 
Other than cash and inventory, we have no unused sources of liquidity at this time.
 
Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, cash used in operating activities was $304,960. The net loss of $531,017 was reduced by net non-cash expenses of $221,786. Cash used in operating activities was also reduced by a $36,645 increase in accounts payable, a $56,100 increase in deferred officer compensation and a $45,250 decrease in prepaid expenses. It was increased by a $130,413 increase in inventories to support expected future product sales.
 
During the year ended September 30, 2011 cash used in operating activities was $992,519. The net loss of $1,484,458 was reduced by non-cash expenses of $552,779. Cash used in operating activities was further reduced by $224,400 deferred officer compensation and related payroll tax accruals. Major components of cash used in operating activities included $241,000 used to increase inventories for our new product line and a $46,943 increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.
 
Investing Activities.  We used cash of $3,344 for equipment purchases and $2,852 for patent costs during the three months ended December 31, 2011. During the year ended September 30, 2011 we used cash of $140,561 for equipment and tooling purchases and $40,987 for patent costs.
 
Except for $250,000 obligation relating to our acquisition of technology from Syzygy (see non-cash activities below), we have no material commitments for future capital expenditures but expect to continue to incur patent costs in future quarters.
 
Financing Activities. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we obtained $153,750 from the exercise of stock options by executive officers.  During the year ended September 30, 2011 we obtained $1,000,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants and paid offering costs of $43,554. We also obtained $300,000 from the exercise of related warrants for cash. We repaid $30,000 of the $700,000 of 8% subordinated notes in cash with the balance exchanged for equity.
 
Non-cash Activities. On December 29, 2011 we purchased technology from related party Syzygy for 1,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $975,000 and an obligation to pay $250,000. The $250,000 obligation is due on or before June 30, 2012.

Capital Requirements
 
Our operating costs, net of non-cash share based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses, have approximated $115,000 per month and we incur expenditures for product development that vary and are difficult to estimate for future periods. At December 31, 2011, we were committed for approximately $80,000 for future inventory deliveries, legal and development work that are generally subject to modification or rescheduling in the normal course of business and we are committed to pay Syzygy $250,000 by June 30, 2012 as payment for acquired technology.
 
Our future capital requirements, cash flows and results of operations could be affected by and will depend on many factors some of which are currently unknown to us, including:
 
 
·
market acceptance of our products and our ability to grow revenues;
 
 
·
the costs, timing and outcome of production and regulatory compliance of our products;
 
 
·
the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our issued patents and defending any future intellectual property-related claims;
 
 
·
the costs and timing of additional product development and marketing efforts;
 
 
·
the costs, timing and outcome of any future warranty claims or litigation against us associated with any of our products; and
 
 
·
the timing and costs associated with any new financing.
 
Assuming no growth in product sales and assuming continued deferral of executive salaries, we would require a minimum of approximately $500,000 of additional capital to sustain operations during the next twelve months given our purchase commitments, current operating expenditures and assuming limited product development and marketing expenditures. Our demands for operating and working capital funds could vary significantly from our estimates and could grow rapidly based on decisions regarding staffing, development, production, marketing and other functions and based on factors outside our control. We expect to obtain additional resources from growing revenues. Should we expand operations or should we require additional operating capital for any reason, there can be no assurance that any such required debt or equity financing will be available to us in the future. Failure to timely obtain any required financing in the future could have a material adverse affect on our Company. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon growing revenues and achieving a profitable level of operations and until then obtaining additional financing if required.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
Other than aggregate facility and office lease and rent payments of approximately $4,000 per month, inventory, legal and development commitments of $80,000 and our commitment to pay $250,000 for acquired technology by June 30, 2012, we have no material contractual obligations.
 
Effects of Inflation
 
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the period ended December 31, 2011, or subsequently thereto, that we believe are of potential significance to our financial statements.

The Board members serve for the later of a period of one year or until the next annual meeting of stockholders.
 
Our executive officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and hold office until removed by the board.
 
Committees of the Board of Directors
 
We have a separately designated standing Audit Committee, currently consisting of Dr. Kaplan, Dr. Putterman and Dr. Wolfe. We believe all members of the Audit Committee are independent and that Dr. Kaplan qualifies as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert,” as defined by Regulation S-K.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
We currently do not have a Compensation Committee.  Each of our directors and our executive officers, during the last completed fiscal year, participated in deliberations of our Board of Directors concerning executive officer compensation. Commencing in February 2012, compensation determinations with respect to our executive officers are made solely by the independent members of our Board of Directors in separate meetings, such as during executive sessions of independent directors.
 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy applicable to all our employees, including our directors and executive officers. We will provide any person, without charge, a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy upon written request to our CFO, Parametric Sound Corporation, 1941 Ramrod Avenue, Suite 100, Henderson, Nevada 89014. We also post on our website a copy of or Code of Conduct Policy at www.parametricsound.com.
 
Conflicts of Interest and Indemnification
 
Our directors and executive officers are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, certain conflicts of interest now exist and will continue to exist between our company and our executive officers and directors due to the fact that they have other employment or business interests to which they devote some attention and they are expected to continue to do so.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
 
On September 27, 2010, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (“Separation Agreement”) with our former parent LRAD Corporation that set forth the terms and conditions of the separation of the company from LRAD Corporation. The Separation and Distribution Agreement set forth a framework for the relationship between the company and LRAD Corporation following the separation regarding principal transactions necessary to separate the companies, including: (a) the contribution of most of our Hypersonic Sound® (“HSS®”) business assets; and (b) the distribution by LRAD Corporation, as of the close of business on September 27, 2010, of all outstanding shares of Parametric common stock to LRAD Corporation’s stockholders in the form of a pro rata dividend of one share of Parametric common stock for every two shares of the LRAD Corporation common stock outstanding to stockholders of record on September 10, 2010. The Separation Agreement also set forth other provisions that govern certain aspects of our relationship with LRAD Corporation after completion of the separation and also provides for the allocation of assets, liabilities and obligations between our company and LRAD Corporation in connection with the separation. The Separation Agreement also provided for a transition related to HSS business and customers with LRAD Corporation fulfilling any orders that are received through the separation date. On September 27, 2010 we also entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with LRAD Corporation that generally governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the separation with respect to taxes.
 
On September 27, 2010 we entered into a License and Royalty Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with related party Syzygy relating to new technology invented by our President, Elwood G. Norris. Mr. Norris owns 65% of Syzygy, and Mr. Barnes owns 35% of Syzygy and serves as its managing member. Under the License Agreement, we reimbursed $91,415 of technology and patent costs paid by Syzygy and assumed $90,500 of technology and product development costs incurred prior to our spin-off from LRAD Corporation, including $25,000 owed to Mr. Norris for product development services. On December 29, 2011, we entered into an Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment”) with Syzygy whereupon Syzygy assigned to us all of the technology and intellectual property, including pending patent applications, covered by the License Agreement. The Assignment terminated the License Agreement and all of our future royalty obligations, which had been accrued at $7,028 through the date of the Assignment. In consideration of the assignment of the technology and intellectual property under the License Agreement, on December 29, 2011, we issued to Syzygy 1,500,000 shares of common stock (300,000 shares upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split) and agreed to pay to Syzygy $250,000 on or before June 30, 2012. As a result of the Assignment, we are no longer obligated to reimburse Syzygy for future costs, in filing for, prosecuting and maintaining any of the licensed patents, which had been accrued at $28,237 and $6,486 during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
On September 27, 2010, we also agreed to reimburse Syzygy for $160,580 of spin-off and startup related costs and assumed $62,037 of spin-off and startup related costs and expenses incurred prior to the distribution, including $25,000 owed to Sunrise Capital, Inc. for the services of CFO, Treasurer and Secretary, James A.

A total of $250,000 of the technology and spin-off costs reimbursed to Syzygy (as described above) was paid through issuance of $250,000 of Notes and 500,000 Warrants (100,000 Warrants upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split) on the same terms as other investors. An additional $10,000 of Notes and 20,000 Warrants (4,000 Warrants upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split)  were purchased for cash by Syzygy and a further $100,000 of Notes and 200,000 Warrants (40,000 Warrants upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split) were purchased for cash by an entity owned by Mr. Norris. On June 30, 2011, $156,000 of the Notes held by Syzygy was paid by exercise of 520,000 Warrants (104,000 Warrants upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split), and the balance of $104,000 plus accrued interest of $15,671 was converted to 170,959 shares of common at $0.70 per share stock (34,192 shares at $3.50 per share upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split) on the same terms as unaffiliated investors. Also on June 30, 2011, $60,000 of the Notes held by the entity owned by Mr. Norris was paid by exercise of 200,000 Warrants (40,000 Warrants upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split)  and the balance of $40,000 plus accrued interest of $6,027 was converted to 65,754 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share (13,151 shares at $3.50 per share upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split) on the same terms as unaffiliated investors.

On February 22, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with selected institutional investors and entities affiliated with two of our officers pursuant to which we issued and sold for cash 2,000,000 shares of our common stock  at a purchase price of $0.50 per share (400,000 shares at a purchase price of $2.50 upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split). In connection with the financing, we issued warrants to the Investors exercisable for an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock  at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (400,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.75 upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split). The warrants are exercisable until February 22, 2016. The institutional investors, considered related parties due to greater than 10% ownership, are (a) Special Situations Fund III QP, L.P., (b) Special Situations Private Equity Fund, L.P., (c) Special Situations Technology Fund, L.P., and (d) Special Situations Technology Fund II, L.P. and they purchased 1,500,000 shares and were issued 1,500,000 warrants (300,000 shares and 300,000 warrants, respectively, upon giving effect to the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split).

On December 29, 2011, we appointed Kenneth F. Potashner as a director and entered into a consulting and advisory arrangement with Mr. Potashner.  On March 5, 2012, we appointed Mr. Potashner as our Executive Chairman and agreed to the terms on which the Company and Mr. Potashner would enter into a compensation agreement after completion of this offering.  As our full-time Executive Chairman, Mr. Potashner is responsible to lead the Board of Directors in the formulation of and lead management in the execution of strategic growth initiatives.  In such capacity, Mr. Potashner reports to the full Board of Directors.
 
In addition to completion and approval of a definitive agreement between Mr. Potashner and the Company, including approval by the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors, the terms of the compensation agreement is subject to completion of this offering and the listing of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

Director Independence
 
The OTC Bulletin Board does not have rules regarding director independence.  We have applied for listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “PAMT,” which listing we expect to occur immediately following the consummation of this offering. Therefore, our determination of the independence of directors is made using the definition of “independent” contained in the listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market. On the basis of information received from each director, the Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Seth Putterman, Robert M. Kaplan, Andrew Wolfe and James L. Honore has no material relationship with the company and is independent within the meaning of such rules. In making this determination, the board evaluated responses to a questionnaire completed by each director regarding relationships and possible conflicts of interest between each director, the company and management. In its review of director independence, the board considered all commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable, and familial relationships any director may have with the company or management.
 
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
 
Although our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, we have applied to have our common stock listed for trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market, which we expect to occur immediately following the consummation of this offering. Trading of a security on The NASDAQ Capital Market is made through a market maker. Our underwriter, MDB Capital Group LLC, is not obligated to make a market in our securities, and even if it chooses to make a market, can discontinue at any time without notice. Neither we nor the underwriter can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our securities will develop or, if developed, that the market will continue.
 
The public offering price of the shares offered by this prospectus has been determined by negotiation between us and the underwriter. Among the factors considered in determining the public offering price of the shares were:
 
 
·
our history and our prospects;
 
 
·
the industry in which we operate;
 
 
·
our past and present operating results;
 
 
·
the previous experience of our executive officers; and
 
 
·
the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.
 
The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the shares offered hereby. That price is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors, and we cannot assure you that the shares can be resold at or above the public offering price.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Based on an assumed offering price of $5.00 per share, we estimate the gross proceeds from the sale of 1,700,000 shares of common stock, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $8.5 million (approximately $9.8 million if the over-allotment option granted to the underwriter is exercised in full).
 
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds of $7.34 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and our underwriter’s expense allowance and estimated expenses of $1.16 million, which includes legal, accounting, printing costs and various fees associated with the registration and listing of our shares. If the underwriter exercise the right to purchase an additional 255,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, we will receive an additional $1.15 million, after deducting $121,125 for underwriting discounts and commissions.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital, payment of deferred officer compensation, to pay an obligation to related party Syzygy, research and development, protection of intellectual property, exploration and development of marketing and licensing opportunities, recruiting and hiring personnel, and general corporate purposes. The following table summarizes our intent regarding use of such proceeds:

In addition, we may use a portion of any net proceeds to acquire complementary products, technologies or businesses; however, we do not have any commitments for any acquisitions of this nature at this time. We will have significant discretion in the use of any net proceeds. Investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of our common stock.
 
Pending its use, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in direct and guaranteed obligations of the United States, interest-bearing, investment-grade instruments or certificates of deposit.

DILUTION
 
Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2011 was approximately $148,000, or $0.03 per share of our common stock. Our net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31, 2011, giving effect to an anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Assuming that we issue all of the shares of our common stock offered by us at the public offering price of $5.00 per share, and after deducting the commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and deferred compensation and related party obligation, our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2011 would have been approximately $7.5 million, or $1.25 per share of our common stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.22 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $3.75 per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering.
 
We determine dilution by subtracting the adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the public offering price per share of our common stock. The following table illustrates the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors:
 
Public offering price per share
        $ 5.00  
Net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2011
  $ 0.03          
Increase per share attributable to new investors
  $ 1.22          
Adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering
          $ 1.25  
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors
          $ 3.75  

The following shares were not included in the above calculation:
 
 
·
923,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options under our stock option plans at a weighted average exercise price of $3.04 per share, giving effect to a 1-for-5 reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
 
·
320,000 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under various outstanding warrant agreements, at a weighted average exercise price of $3.75 per share, giving effect to an anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
 
·
182,000 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2012 Stock Option Plan, giving effect to a 1-for-5 reverse stock split to be effected prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
 
 
·
up to 195,500 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under an underwriter purchase option equal to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering (assuming underwriter’s exercise of over-allotment option of 255,000 shares) exercisable at 125% of the public offering price per share; and
 
 
·
28,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of a portion of deferred compensation.
 
Unless otherwise specifically stated, information throughout this prospectus assumes that none of our outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock are exercised.

UNDERWRITING
 
We are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus through a single underwriter. MDB Capital Group LLC is acting as sole book-running manager of the offering. We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, shares of common stock.
 
The underwriter is committed to purchase all the common shares offered by us, other than those covered by the option to purchase additional shares described below, if they purchase any shares.
 
A copy of the underwriting agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
 
We have been advised by the underwriter that it proposes to offer shares of our common stock directly to the public at the public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Any securities sold by the underwriter to such securities dealers will be sold at the public offering prices less a selling concession not in excess of $[___] per share. Any such dealers may resell shares to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $[___] per share from the public offering price. After the public offering of the shares, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriter.
 
The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriter’s obligation to purchase shares of our common stock is subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement.
 
None of our securities included in this offering may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus and any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sales of any of our common stock be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction.  Persons who receive this prospectus are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to this offering of our common stock and the distribution of this prospectus.  This prospectus is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of any offer to buy any of our common stock included in this offering in any jurisdiction where that would not be permitted or legal.
 
The underwriter has advised us that it does not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority.
 
Underwriting Discount and Expenses
 
The following table summarizes the underwriting discount and commission to be paid to the underwriter by us.
 
   
Without

Public offering price
  $ 8,500,000     $ 9,775,000  
Underwriting discount to be paid to the underwriter by us for the common stock

  $ 135,000     $ 135,000  
Proceeds, before expenses, to us
  $ 7,557,500     $ 8,711,375  

We estimate the expenses payable by us for this offering to be $1.16 million, including the underwriting discount, or $1.28 million if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, and reimbursement of the non-accountable expenses of the underwriter equal to $135,000.
 
 
 
50

 
Over-allotment Option
 
We have granted to the underwriter an option, exercisable not later than 45 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 255,000 shares of our common stock (up to 15% of the shares firmly committed in this offering) at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriter may exercise the option solely to cover over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering.  If any additional shares of our common stock are purchased pursuant to the over-allotment option, the underwriter will offer these additional shares of our common stock on the same terms as those on which the other shares of common stock are being offered hereby.
 
Determination of Offering Price
 
The public offering price of the common stock was negotiated between us and the underwriter, based on the trading price of the common stock prior to the offering, among other things. Other factors considered in determining the price of the common stock include the history and prospects of our company, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, general conditions of the financial markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.
 
Underwriter Warrant
 
We have agreed to issue to MDB Capital Group LLC a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock (up to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering). This warrant is exercisable at $6.25 per share (125% of the price of the common stock sold in this offering), commencing on the effective date of this offering and expiring five years from the effective date of this offering. The warrant and the shares of common stock underlying the warrant have been deemed compensation by the FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of the FINRA. MDB Capital Group LLC (or permitted assignees under the Rule) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate this warrant or the securities underlying this option, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this warrant or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
This warrant will be valued based on the underlying shares of common stock obtainable and valuation factors appropriate at the time it is issued. We currently estimate that value to be approximately $[_____], based on the number of shares of common stock subject to this warrant, an offering price of the shares of $[_____], the resulting exercise prices related to the warrant on the shares of common stock, the five year term of the warrant, a risk-free interest rate of [___]% currently commensurate with that term, an expected dividend yield of [___]% and estimated volatility of [___]%, based on a review of our historical volatility. The initial value of this warrant will be charged to additional paid-in capital as part of the offering costs incurred.
 
Lock-Up Agreements
 
All of our officers and directors have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, they will not sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our equity securities, without the consent of the representative except for exercise or conversion of currently outstanding warrants, options and convertible debentures, as applicable, and exercise of options under an acceptable stock incentive plan. The underwriter may consent to an early release from the lock-up periods if, in its opinion, the market for the common stock would not be adversely impacted by sales and in cases of a financial emergency of an officer, director or other stockholder. We are unaware of any officer, director or shareholder who intends to ask for consent to dispose of any of our equity securities during the relevant lock-up periods.
 
Indemnification
 
We will agree to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make for these liabilities.
 
 
51

 
 
Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids
 
The underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions, and penalty bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the common stock, in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
 
 
·
Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriter of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position.  The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position.  In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that it may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriter may close out any short position by either exercising its over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.
 
 
·
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
 
 
·
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
 
 
·
Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
 
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the NASDAQ Capital Market and/or OTC Bulletin Board, in the case of the common stock or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
 
Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
 
Passive Market Making
 
In connection with the offering, the underwriter may engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market and/or OTC Bulletin Board in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during the period before the commencement of offers or sales of common stock and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bids at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of the security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
 
Electronic Distribution
 
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the Internet sites or through other online services maintained by the underwriter, or by its affiliates.  In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and, depending upon the underwriter, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriter may agree with us to allocate a specific number of shares for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriter on the same basis as other allocations.
 
 
52

 
 
Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriter’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the underwriter is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriter in its capacity as underwriter and should not be relied upon by investors.
 
The underwriter’s compensation in connection with this offering is limited to the fees and expenses described above under “Underwriting Discount and Expenses” and “Other Terms.”
 
Other Terms
 
We have agreed to reimburse MDB Capital Group LLC in the amount of $30,000 for underwriter counsel fees under any circumstances and up to a maximum of $135,000 for all fees and expenses in the event this offering is consummated.
 
United Kingdom
 
This document is only being distributed to and is only directed at (i) persons who are outside the United Kingdom or (ii) to investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the “Order”), or (iii) high net worth entities, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (e) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”).  The shares of common stock are only available to, and any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such common stock will be engaged in only with, relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this document or any of its contents.
 
The underwriter has represented and agreed that:
 
(a)  it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 or FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the shares in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to us, and
 
(b)  it has complied with, and will comply with all applicable provisions of FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the shares in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
 
 
53

 
 
European Economic Area
 
To the extent that the offer of the common stock is made in any Member State of the European Economic Area that has implemented the Prospectus Directive before the date of publication of a prospectus in relation to the common stock which has been approved by the competent authority in the Member State in accordance with the Prospectus Directive (or, where appropriate, published in accordance with the Prospectus Directive and notified to the competent authority in the Member State in accordance with the Prospectus Directive), the offer (including any offer pursuant to this document) is only addressed to qualified investors in that Member State within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive or has been or will be made otherwise in circumstances that do not require us to publish a prospectus pursuant to the Prospectus Directive.
 
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), the underwriter has represented and agreed that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of shares to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the shares which has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of shares to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:
 
(a)  to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities,
 
(b)  to any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of more than €43,000,000, and (3) an annual net turnover of more than €50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts, or in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by us of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive. For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of shares to the public” in relation to any shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the shares, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
 
The EEA selling restriction is in addition to any other selling restrictions set out below. In relation to each Relevant Member State, each purchaser of shares of common stock (other than the underwriter) will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it will not make an offer of shares of common stock to the public in any Relevant Member State, except that it may, with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in the Relevant Member State, make an offer of shares of common stock to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time in any circumstances which do not require the publication by us of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive, provided that such purchaser agrees that it has not and will not make an offer of any shares of common stock in reliance or purported reliance on Article 3(2)(b) of the Prospectus Directive. For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of shares to the public” in relation to any shares of common stock in any Relevant Member State has the same meaning as in the preceding paragraph.

The validity of our common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Durham, Jones & Pinegar, St. George, Utah. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriter by Golenbock Eiseman Assor Bell & Peskoe LLP, New York, New York.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Parametric Sound Corporation:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Parametric Sound Corporation (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that were appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parametric Sound Corporation as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring net losses through September 30, 2011, has limited working capital as of September 30, 2011 and is dependent on the success of a new product line to achieve profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans as to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Parametric Sound Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business Description
Parametric Sound Corporation (“Parametric Sound” or the “Company”) is a technology company focused on delivering novel directed audio solutions. The Company’s HyperSonic Sound or “HSS” technology pioneered the practical application of parametric acoustic technology for generating audible sound along a directional ultrasonic column. The Company’s HSS-3000 products are compatible with standard media players and beam sound to target a specific listening area without the ambient noise of traditional speakers. The Company’s principal markets are North America, Europe and Asia.

In April 2010, the board of directors of LRAD Corporation approved a plan to separate its HSS product line into a new independent, stand-alone company. In a special meeting of stockholders held June 2, 2010, the proposal to separate the HSS business from LRAD was approved, and on June 2, 2010, LRAD created a new wholly owned subsidiary, Parametric Sound, into which the HSS business and substantially all of the assets of the business and associated intellectual property rights were contributed.

All outstanding shares of Parametric Sound common stock were distributed to the stockholders of LRAD Corporation on September 27, 2010 (“Spin-Off”), at a ratio of one share of Parametric Sound common stock for each two shares of LRAD Corporation’s common stock held as of the record date of September 10, 2010. LRAD Corporation retained no ownership or other form of interest in Parametric Sound subsequent to the Spin-Off. Following the Spin-Off, the Company’s operations consist solely of the operations described herein.

In connection with the Spin-Off, Parametric Sound and LRAD Corporation entered into a separation agreement and a tax sharing agreement. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding these agreements.

Basis of Accounting
The balance sheets as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 reflect the balances of Parametric Sound as an independent company. The statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 reflects the activity of Parametric Sound as a stand-alone company. Amounts included in the statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2010 reflect LRAD Corporation’s HSS business activities through September 27, 2010 adjusted for activity through September 30, 2010 including reimbursement of certain start-up, Spin-Off and technology costs expenditures on the Company’s behalf during its startup and development (see Note 2). The Company’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010 include activity derived from LRAD Corporation’s historical consolidated financial statements using LRAD Corporation’s historical cost basis of assets and liabilities of the various activities that reflect the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of Parametric Sound as a component of LRAD Corporation. Historically, the HSS business in LRAD Corporation operated as a product line and not a separate segment and not as an independent stand-alone business. For purposes of preparing the financial statements in the period prior to the September 27, 2010 Spin-Off, Parametric Sound was allocated certain expenses from LRAD Corporation with such expenses reflected in the statements of operations as expense allocations from LRAD Corporation. Until the Spin-Off, Parametric Sound was fully integrated with LRAD Corporation, including product development, production, sales and distribution, accounting, finance, treasury, payroll, legal services and investor relations.

Management believes that the assumptions and allocation methods underlying such prior year financial statements are reasonable in all material respects. However, the costs allocated to the Company are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company operated as a stand-alone entity during the year ended September 30, 2010.

Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis contemplating the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $1,484,458 for the year ended September 30, 2011 and has financed its operations from debt and equity financing. As of September 30, 2011 our working capital balance was approximately $428,000 and the Company has no other sources of financing. In July 2011 the Company commenced deliveries of new products based on improved HSS technology. Prior historical revenues are no indication of future revenues and there can be no assurance that the Company’s new products will achieve market success. The Company will be reliant on existing working capital or obtaining additional debt or equity financing sufficient to sustain operations until profitability can be achieved.

Parametric Sound Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on its ability to grow revenues, and if necessary, to obtain additional financing from outside sources. Management’s plans include (a) increasing HSS-3000 revenues from legacy customers and by obtaining new customers, (b) developing and introducing new products targeted for new directed audio markets, (c) exercising cost controls to conserve cash, and (d) if necessary, obtaining additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans or in generating or raising funds, if necessary, to sustain its operations for twelve months or beyond. Should the Company be unable to generate funds from operations or obtain required financing, it may have to curtail operations, which may have a material adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to liquidate its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

LRAD Corporation Net Investment
Because historically, the HSS business in LRAD Corporation operated as a product line and not a separate segment and not as an independent stand-alone business LRAD Corporation’s investment in Parametric Sound is shown in lieu of stockholder’s equity in the financial statements for periods prior to September 27, 2010. The net investment account represents cumulative investments in, distributions from and losses of the HSS business.

No cash or accounts receivable were transferred at the Spin-Off and Parametric Sound paid for all Spin-Off related costs and reimbursed technology development costs. LRAD Corporation retained certain inventory for outstanding customer orders and to support outstanding warranty obligations (See Note 2).

Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The Company’s losses for the periods presented cause the inclusion of potential common stock instruments outstanding to be antidilutive. Stock options and warrants for a total of 3,335,000 and 1,400,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

For the year ended September 30, 2010 the net loss per basic and diluted share and the weighted-average shares outstanding were calculated based on the 15,306,064 shares issued in connection with the Spin-Off.

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 (e.g., inventory valuation, valuation of intangible assets, warranty reserves, allocations of expenses incurred by LRAD Corporation and the fair value of financial instruments) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of warrants issued in September 2010 were estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model (See Note 7).

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash equivalents. Due to the relative short nature of such investments, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The Company places its cash in demand deposit and money market accounts at one bank and such balances may at times be in excess of amounts insured by federal agencies, which is $250,000 as of September 30, 2011. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its cash equivalents.

Parametric Sound Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company had no accounts receivable or allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2011 due to a policy of payment prior to shipment. The Company may make sales on credit in future periods whereupon it will make periodic evaluations of the creditworthiness of its customers and manage its exposure to losses from bad debts by limiting the amount of credit extended.

Contract Manufacturers
The Company uses contract manufacturers for production of certain components and sub-assemblies. The Company may provide parts and components to such parties from time to time but recognizes no revenue or markup on such transactions. The Company performs assembly of products in-house using components and sub-assemblies from a variety of contract manufacturers and suppliers.
 
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of substantially all of the Company’s inventory is determined by the weighted average cost method. Inventory is comprised of raw materials, assemblies and finished products intended for sale to customers. The Company evaluates the need for reserves for excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily based upon estimates of future demand for the Company’s products. At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the reserve for obsolescence related to certain raw materials obtained at the Spin-Off, some of which are being used to produce the Company’s HSS-3000 products.

Equipment, Tooling and Depreciation
Equipment and tooling is stated at cost. Depreciation on equipment and tooling is computed over the estimated useful lives of two to three years using the straight-line method. Upon retirement or disposition of equipment or tooling, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed and a gain or loss is recorded.
 
Intangibles
Patents, licenses and trademarks are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Legal cost incurred to file, renew, or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which have been estimated to be 15 years for patents, licenses and trademarks protecting the Company’s products. The Company amortizes certain patents acquired in the Spin-Off, classified as defensive patents, over a weighted average of three years. The carrying value of intangibles is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected future benefit to be derived from an individual intangible asset is less than its carrying value.
 
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from product sales. Product sales are recognized in the periods that products are shipped to customers (FOB shipping point) or when product is received by the customer (FOB destination), when the fee is fixed and determinable, when collection of resulting receivables is probable and there are no remaining obligations on the part of the Company.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues. The amount of shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers is included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs were $628 and $9,469 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Warranty Reserves
The Company warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The warranty is generally a limited warranty. The Company currently provides direct warranty service. The Company establishes a warranty reserve based on anticipated warranty claims at the time revenue from product sales is recognized. Factors affecting warranty reserve levels include the number of units sold and anticipated cost of warranty repairs and anticipated rates of warranty claims. The Company evaluates the adequacy of the provision for warranty costs each reporting period.


 
F-9

 


Parametric Sound Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements

Deferred Financing Costs
Costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt on a straight line basis which is not materially different from the results obtained using the effective interest method.

Classification of Warrants
 The Company accounts for warrants as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each particular instrument. Warrants valued and classified as equity are recorded as additional paid-in capital on the Company’s balance sheet and no further adjustment to valuation is made. The Company has no warrants or other derivative financial instruments that require separate accounting as liabilities and periodic revaluation.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carry-forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company’s operations were included in LRAD Corporation’s consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns prior to the Spin-Off, therefore, the Company was not subject to taxation by federal and state authorities for the tax periods before the Spin-Off.  The Company filed a separate return for the short year tax period ended September 30, 2010. The provision for income taxes through the Spin-Off was determined on a separate return basis and based on earnings reported in the Company's statement of operations and comprehensive income.  The historical net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits generated by Parametric Sound prior to the Spin-Off remained with LRAD Corporation subsequent to the separation.

Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are excluded from reported net loss. There were no differences between net loss and comprehensive loss for any of the periods presented.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles held for use are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or if changes in facts and circumstances indicate, an impairment loss is recognized and measured using the asset’s fair value.
 
Share-Based Compensation
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)  718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). ASC 718 requires measurement of all employee stock-based awards using a fair-value method and recording of related compensation expense in the financial statements over the requisite service period. Further, as required under ASC 718, the Company estimates forfeitures for stock-based awards that are not expected to vest.

Share-Based Payments for Goods and Services
 
Under ASC 505-50 options or stock awards issued to non-employees who are not directors of the Company are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received, when more reliably measurable, otherwise at the estimated value of the stock options issued at the measurement date. Non-employee options are periodically revalued as the options vest so the cost ultimately recognized is equivalent to the fair value on the date performance is complete with such expense recognized over the related service period on a graded vesting method.

Reclassifications
Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2011 statement presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08,  Intangibles - Goodwill and Other which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill  impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income providing guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income. The new standard requires the presentation of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new standard also requires presentation of adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The updated guidance of ASU 2011-05 is effective on a retrospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning with the Company’s fiscal 2012 year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement providing additional guidance on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The updated guidance of ASU 2011-04 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning with the Company’s fiscal 2012 year. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events subsequent to September 30, 2011 through the date that the accompanying financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for transactions and other events which may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.

2. SPIN-OFF OF HSS BUSINESS

On September 27, 2010, LRAD Corporation separated its HSS business through the Spin-Off of Parametric Sound. LRAD Corporation contributed most of its HSS business assets to Parametric Sound. All outstanding shares of the Company were distributed to LRAD Corporation’s stockholders of record at the close of business on September 10, 2010 as a pro-rata, tax-free dividend of one share of Parametric Sound common stock for every two shares of LRAD Corporation common stock.

On September 27, 2010, the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (“Separation Agreement”) with LRAD Corporation that set forth the terms and conditions of the separation of the Company from LRAD Corporation, provided the framework for the relationship between the Company and LRAD Corporation following the separation and provided for the allocation of assets, liabilities and obligations between the Company and LRAD Corporation in connection with the separation. The Separation Agreement provided for a transition related to HSS business and customers with LRAD Corporation fulfilling orders received through September 27, 2010. Thereafter LRAD Corporation could fulfill continuing purchase orders for one project with customer Cardinal Health through the completion of the project and through December 31, 2010 could accept unsolicited follow-on orders for HSS products from prior customers. LRAD Corporation retained inventory and supplies to fulfill such anticipated orders and retained responsibility for warranty, returns and related liabilities for such customers and sales. On September 27, 2010 the Company also entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with LRAD Corporation that generally governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the separation with respect to taxes.

7. SUBORDINATED NOTES PAYABLE AND WARRANTS

In September 2010 the Company sold $700,000 of 8% Subordinated Promissory Notes, due September 28, 2011 (the “Notes”), and accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.30 per common share (“Warrants”). Of the total Notes and Warrants issued, $260,000 of the Notes and 520,000 Warrants were purchased by Syzygy, a company owned and controlled by the Company’s President and CEO (Mr. Norris) and its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (James A. Barnes). An additional $100,000 of the Notes and 200,000 Warrants were purchased by an entity owned by the Company’s President and CEO, Mr. Norris.
 
The relative fair value of the Warrants of $264,427 was estimated by management using the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates of expected investor discount rates (the Company’s effective market borrowing rate) on the Note and Warrant financing. Significant Level 3 inputs used to calculate the fair value of the Warrants included stock price, peer company volatility (99%), risk-free interest rate (1.22%) and management’s assumption regarding effective market borrowing rates (30%). The relative fair value of the Warrants was recorded as a note discount and was amortized as additional interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes.  During the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, $263,272 and $1,155, respectively, was amortized.
 
On June 30, 2011, all 1,400,000 Warrants were exercised by the holders, and pursuant to the terms of the Note agreement, the Company exercised its right to offset the purchase price of the Warrants against the outstanding Note principal amount.  Accordingly, as a result of the Warrant exercise, the principal balance of the Notes was reduced by $420,000 (See Note 9). The Warrants exercised included an aggregate 720,000 Warrants held by the companies controlled by the Company’s President and its CFO as described above, resulting in the reduction of the Note principal amounts held by these companies of $216,000. 
 
Also on June 30, 2011 the Company and certain Note holders entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Note holders agreed to convert an additional $250,000 of Note principal plus $37,674 of accrued interest on the Notes into 410,963 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion price of $0.70 per share.  As the addition of the conversion feature to the Note was deemed to be a substantial modification of the Note agreement, this transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The Company determined that the reacquisition price of the debt was equal to the outstanding Note principal plus accrued interest, and accordingly, no gain or loss on the debt extinguishment transaction was recorded. The Notes and accrued interest converted pursuant to this agreement included aggregate Note principal and accrued interest of $144,000 and $21,698, respectively, relating to Notes held by the companies controlled by the Company’s President and CFO.

On September 28, 2011 the Company paid the remaining balance of Notes of $30,000 and related accrued interest. The Company incurred interest expense of $42,477 and $307, respectively for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 in connection with the Notes.
 
8. INCOME TAXES
 
The Company’s operations have historically been included in LRAD Corporation’s consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns. The income tax provision included in these financial statements has been determined as if the Company had filed separate income tax returns under its existing structure for the periods presented. The Company recorded no income tax expense in 2011 or 2010 due to losses incurred. LRAD Corporation's tax filings for 2010 included Parametric Sounds operations prior to the Spin-Off. The net operating losses (NOL’s) and research and development credits generated prior to the Spin-Off, remain with LRAD Corporation.

Parametric Sound Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
 
The Company generated federal tax net operating loss carryforwards related to expenditures incurred after September 27, 2010 including technology costs reimbursed to Syzygy Licensing and other expenses incurred after incorporation and paid after the Spin-Off. At September 30, 2011 the Company had a federal and state net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,400,000 that will expire beginning in 2030 unless previously utilized.

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

Parametric Sound Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements

The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes—Recognition (formerly FIN 48) as of the date of incorporation. As of the date of the adoption, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and there were no material changes during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, future changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will not impact its effective tax rate. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Upon adoption of ASC 740-10-25, the Company did not record any interest or penalties. The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of California. All years since the Company’s 2010 organization remain subject to examination but there are currently no ongoing exams in any taxing jurisdiction.

9. CAPITAL STOCK

Pursuant to the Spin-Off, effective on September 27, 2010 a total of 15,306,064 shares of common stock were distributed as a stock dividend to the stockholders of LRAD Corporation, the Company’s then sole stockholder. Parametric Sound was incorporated on June 2, 2010 with authorized capital stock consisting of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001.

The Company is authorized under its certificate of incorporation and bylaws to issue shares of preferred stock without any further action by the stockholders. The board of directors has the authority to divide any and all shares of preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock, such as the designation of series and the number of shares constituting such series, dividend rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions, liquidation and dissolution preferences, conversion or exchange rights and voting rights, if any. Issuance of preferred stock by the board of directors could result in such shares having dividend and or liquidation preferences senior to the rights of the holders of common stock and could dilute the voting rights of the holders of common stock. No shares of preferred stock have been issued and none were outstanding at September 30, 2011 or 2010.

Sale of Common Stock and Warrants
On February 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with existing institutional shareholders (considered related parties due to greater than 10% ownership) and entities affiliated with its two executive officers, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold for cash 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share. In connection with the financing, the Company also issued warrants to the investors exercisable for an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants are exercisable until February 22, 2016. On September 30, 2011, entities affiliated with the two executive officers exercised 400,000 of the warrants for cash of $300,000.

In connection with the financing, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare, file and effect a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock sold in the financing and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants. The required registration statement became effective on March 28, 2011 and the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain effectiveness. If the registration statement becomes ineffective other than for certain allowable periods, the Company will be obligated to pay liquidated damages to the purchasers in the amount of 1.5% of the invested amount for each 30-day period thereafter with the obligation terminating when the securities are sold or otherwise available for unrestricted sale. The Company evaluates this registration payment arrangement under ASC 825-20 Financial Instruments - Registration Payment Arrangements and has determined no obligation for future potential penalties is accruable under ASC 450-20 Contingencies - Loss Contingencies as of September 30, 2011.

Warrant Exercise
On June 30, 2011 a total of 1,400,000 warrants issued in September 2010 were exercised at a price of $0.30 per share.  Pursuant to the terms of the 8% Subordinated Promissory Note agreement entered into in September 2010, the Company exercised its right to offset the purchase price of the Warrants against the outstanding Note principal amount.  Accordingly, as a result of the warrant exercise, the principal balance of the Notes was reduced by $420,000 (See Note 7).
 
As described above, on September 30, 2011, entities affiliated with the two executive officers exercised 400,000 warrants for cash of $300,000.

Conversion of Subordinated Promissory Notes and Accrued Interest
On June 30, 2011, subordinated promissory notes with an outstanding principal balance of $250,000 plus related accrued interest of $37,674 were converted into an aggregate of 410,963 shares of common stock (See Note 7).

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Pursuant to LRAD Corporation’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company recorded $5,521 of share-based compensation expense for the year ended September 30, 2010 related to personnel whose salary and benefit costs were allocated to the Company. No stock options were granted to such allocated personnel during fiscal 2010 and no legacy options were assumed by the Company in connection with the Spin-Off.

On September 27, 2010 the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan authorizes the grant of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants.  During the year ended September 30, 2011 the Company granted options on 1,735,000 shares of common stock under the 2010 Plan.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of each option as of its grant date or any revaluation date. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. The following table sets forth the significant weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model and the calculation of stock-based compensation cost (annualized percentages):
 
 
Years Ended September 30,
2011
 
2010

 not applicable
   
Expected life in years
4.75
 
 not applicable
   
Weighted average fair value of options granted
$0.25
 
 not applicable
 
Since the Company’s stock only commenced trading after the Spin-Off, the Company’s management estimated its expected volatility by reviewing the historical volatility of the common stock of a group of selected peer public companies that operate in similar industries and are similar in terms of stage of development or size and then projecting this information toward its future expected results. Judgment was used in selecting these companies, as well as in evaluating the available historical volatility for these peer companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. The Company has a small number of option grants and no exercise history and accordingly has for all new option grants applied the simplified method prescribed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, Share-Based Payment: Certain Assumptions Used in Valuation Methods - Expected Term, to estimate expected life (computed as vesting term plus contractual term divided by two). An estimated forfeiture rate was determined to be zero as the number of grantees is limited and all are currently expected to serve in their capacities during the vesting period. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Such amounts, if any, will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed.

11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Facility Lease
Commencing June 1, 2011 the Company leased 3,498 square feet of improved assembly and warehouse space in Poway, California for a period of 25 months terminating June 30, 2013. The gross monthly base rent is $3,498 through May 31, 2012 thereafter increasing to $3,603 per month for the term of the lease, subject to certain future adjustments. The Company’s President and CEO, Mr. Norris, executed a personal guarantee of the lease without compensation.

The Company’s executive office in Henderson, Nevada was occupied in July 2011 under a lease agreement that expired on June 30, 2011. The Company is continuing month-to-month rental at $500 per month for reduced space of approximately 500 square feet.

The Company has no other operating leases and the remaining future annual minimum lease payment obligation under the foregoing facility lease is $42,396 and $32,427 for the years ending September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Technology License Agreement
The Company is obligated to pay royalties and make certain future expenditures pursuant to a license and royalty agreement dated September 27, 2010 with Syzygy, a company owned and controlled by executive officers Mr. Norris and Mr. Barnes.  The agreement provides for royalties of 5% of revenues from products employing the licensed parametric sound technology and a term of 20 years or the life of any resulting patent, whichever is greater. In the event no patent covering the licensed technology is issued after four years, then the royalty rate reduces to 3% in any territory until or if a patent is issued for any such territory. The Company may not sublicense without the permission of Syzygy, and sublicense royalty rates are subject to future negotiation in good faith. The license may terminate if the Company does not use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the parametric sound business. The Company incurred and accrued $3,835 as royalties pursuant to this agreement for the year ended September 30, 2011.

In addition to the reimbursed costs paid as outlined in Note 2, the Company is obligated to reimburse Syzygy’s future costs, in filing for, prosecuting and maintaining any of the licensed patents in the United States. The Company incurred and capitalized $28,237 and $6,486 related to such licensed patents during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company may request that Syzygy file patent applications in additional territories, in which case the Company shall reimburse Syzygy for all costs associated therewith.

Conflicts of Interest
Certain conflicts of interest now exist and will continue to exist between the Company and its executive officers and directors due to the fact that they have other employment, business and investment interests to which they devote some attention and they are expected to continue to do so. Company executive officers also manage and control Syzygy a licensing company that owns and is licensing to the Company certain technology for producing parametric sound (see the discussion above and Note 2) and certain conflicts could arise in future dealings between Syzygy and the Company. The Company has not established policies or procedures for the resolution of current or potential conflicts of interest between the Company and management or management-affiliated entities including Syzygy. There can be no assurance that members of management will resolve all conflicts of interest in the Company’s favor. Officers and directors are accountable to the Company as fiduciaries, which means that they are legally obligated to exercise good faith and integrity in handling the Company’s affairs.  Failure by them to conduct the Company’s business in its best interests may result in liability to them. While the Company’s directors and officers may be excluded from liability for certain actions (see Indemnification below), there is no assurance that the Company’s officers and directors would be excluded from liability or indemnified if they breached their loyalty to the Company.

Guarantees and Indemnifications
Our officers and directors are indemnified as to personal liability as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and by indemnification agreements with the Company. The Company may also undertake indemnification obligations in the ordinary course of business related to its products and the issuance of securities with customers, investors, vendors and business parties. The Company is unable to estimate with any reasonable accuracy the liability that may be incurred pursuant to any such indemnification obligations now or in the future. Because of the uncertainty surrounding these circumstances, the Company’s current or future indemnification obligations could range from immaterial to having a material adverse impact on its financial position and its ability to continue in the ordinary course of business. The Company has no liabilities recorded for such indemnities.

12. MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
 
Major Customers
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, revenues from two customers accounted for 46% and 35% of total revenues. No other single customer represented more than 10% of total revenues. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, revenues from three customers accounted for 34%, 13% and 11% of total revenues. No other single customer represented more than 10% of total revenues.
 
Suppliers
The Company has a number of components and sub-assemblies produced by outside suppliers, some of which are sourced from a single supplier, which can magnify the risk of shortages and decrease the Company’s ability to negotiate with suppliers on the basis of price. In particular, the Company depends on its HSS piezo-film supplier to provide expertise and materials used in the Company’s proprietary HSS emitters. If supplier shortages occur, or quality problems arise, then production schedules could be significantly delayed or costs significantly increased, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

At September 30, 2011 the Company was committed for approximately $125,000 for future inventory deliveries that are generally subject to modification or rescheduling in the normal course of business.
 
Segment and Related Information
The Company business consists of only one product line. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable segment.

Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Accounting/Presentation

Parametric Sound Corporation (“Parametric Sound” or the “Company”) is a technology company focused on delivering novel audio solutions. The Company’s HyperSonic® Sound or "HSS®" technology pioneered the practical application of parametric acoustic technology for generating audible sound along a directional ultrasonic column. The Company’s HSS-3000 products are compatible with standard media players and beam sound to target a specific listening area without the ambient noise of traditional speakers. The creation of sound using the Company’s technology also creates a unique sound image distinct from traditional audio systems.

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on June 2, 2010 as a new, wholly owned subsidiary of LRAD Corporation in order to effect the separation and spin-off of the HSS business. On September 27, 2010, the 100% spin-off was completed and we became a stand-alone, independent, publicly traded company. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Henderson, Nevada and product development and assembly is performed in San Diego, California. Principal markets for the Company’s products are North America, Europe and Asia.

Basis of Accounting
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary in order make the financial statements not misleading. The condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 was derived from the Company’s most recent audited financial statements. The financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2011 may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, assessing the following: valuation of inventory, impairment of intangible assets, the fair value of share-based compensation and warrants, valuation of acquired intangible assets and valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.

Liquidity/Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis contemplating the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $531,017 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and $1,484,458 for the year ended September 30, 2011 and has financed its operations to date from debt and equity financings. As of December 31, 2011 the Company’s working capital balance was $16,502 and the Company currently has no other sources of available financing. In July 2011 the Company commenced deliveries of its HSS-3000 products. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will achieve the market success necessary to achieve profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow to fund the Company’s operations. The Company will be reliant on existing working capital or on obtaining additional debt or equity financing sufficient to sustain operations until profitability and positive cash flow can be achieved.

Parametric Sound Corporation
Notes to Interim Condensed Financial Statements
(unaudited)
December 31, 2011

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on its ability to grow revenues, and if necessary, to obtain additional financing from outside sources. Management’s plans include (a) increasing HSS-3000 revenues from legacy customers and by obtaining new commercial customers, (b) developing new or improved products and audio solutions targeted for consumer audio markets, (c) pursuing a partnering and licensing strategy to commercialize products in consumer markets, (d) exercising cost controls to conserve cash, and (e) obtaining public or private financing. The Company intends on financing its market expansion and activities from the sale of public securities or obtaining additional financing from other traditional financing sources. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans in generating funds or obtaining additional financing to sustain its operations for twelve months or beyond. Should the Company be unable to generate funds from operations or obtain required financing, it may have to curtail operations, which may have a material adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to liquidate its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Financial Instruments
At December 31, 2011, there was no difference between the carrying values of the Company’s cash equivalents and fair market value. For certain financial instruments, including accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to related party, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Reclassifications
Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to the current period’s statement presentation.

Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The Company’s losses for the periods presented cause the inclusion of potential common stock instruments outstanding to be antidilutive. Stock options and warrants for a total of 5,665,000 and 2,955,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued.  Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, it has not identified any standards that it believes merit further discussion.  The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
 
2. Inventories, net

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of substantially all of the Company’s inventory is determined by the weighted average cost method. Inventories consisted of the following:

   
December 31,
   
September 30,
 
   
2011
   
2011
 
Finished goods
  $ 101,291     $ 44,648

Reserve for obsolescence
    (115,715 )     (119,365 )
    $ 407,331     $ 273,268  

The Company relies on one supplier for film for its HSS products. The Company’s ability to manufacture its HSS products could be adversely affected if it were to lose a sole source supplier and was unable to find an alternative supplier.

6. Share-Based Compensation
 
On September 27, 2010 the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan authorized the grant of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants. On December 29, 2011 the Company adopted the 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”) providing authority to grant options on 1,265,000 shares of common stock remaining available for issuance under the 2010 Plan and new authority for an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock. The 2012 Plan replaced the 2010 Plan but awards previously granted under the 2010 Plan remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Any outstanding option grants that expire or terminate, other than through exercise or share settlement, under the 2010 Plan will also become eligible for grant under the 2012 Plan. Options granted under the 2012 Plan may not be exercised until stockholder approval or twelve months, whereupon if approval has not been obtained, any incentive options will be treated as non-qualified options.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of each option as of its grant date or any revaluation date. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. The following table sets forth the significant weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model and the calculation of stock-based compensation cost (annualized percentages):

Expected life in years
    4.96         4.75    
Weighted average fair value of options granted
  $ 0.49       $ 0.22    
 
As the Company’s stock only commenced trading in October 2010, management estimated its expected volatility for fiscal 2011 by reviewing the historical volatility of the common stock of a group of selected peer public companies that operate in similar industries and are similar in terms of stage of development or size and then projecting this information toward its future expected results. Judgment was used in selecting these companies, as well as in evaluating the available historical volatility for these peer companies. In the current fiscal year the Company commenced using its historical volatility which did not vary significantly from prior estimates. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. The Company has a small number of option grants and limited exercise history and accordingly has for all new option grants applied the simplified method prescribed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, Share-Based Payment: Certain Assumptions Used in Valuation Methods - Expected Term, to estimate expected life (computed as vesting term plus contractual term divided by two). An estimated forfeiture rate was determined to be zero as the number of grantees is limited and all are currently expected to serve in their capacities during the vesting period. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Such amounts, if any, will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed.
 
The Company recorded share-based compensation in its statements of operations for the relevant periods as follows:

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Facility Leases
Commencing June 1, 2011 the Company leased 3,498 square feet of improved assembly and warehouse space in Poway, California for a period of 25 months terminating June 30, 2013. The gross monthly base rent is $3,498 through May 31, 2012, thereafter increasing to $3,603 per month for the term of the lease, subject to certain future adjustments. The Company’s President and CEO, Mr. Norris, executed a personal guarantee of the lease without compensation.

The Company’s executive office in Henderson, Nevada was occupied in July 2011 under a lease agreement that expired on June 30, 2011. The Company is continuing month-to-month rental at $500 per month for reduced space of approximately 500 square feet.

9. Related Party Transactions
 
On December 29, 2011 the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement (“Assignment”) with Syzygy whereupon the Company acquired all technology and intellectual property covered by the License and Royalty Agreement (“License”) dated September 27, 2010 previously executed by the parties. The Assignment terminated the License and all future royalty obligations. Pending patent applications comprising part of the intellectual property were assigned to the Company. Syzygy is owned by the Company’s two executive officers who are both also significant stockholders. Elwood G. Norris, CEO and President, owns 65% and James A. Barnes, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, owns 35% of Syzygy and serves as managing member.
 
In consideration for the Assignment the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to Syzygy (valued at $975,000) and agreed to pay $250,000 by June 30, 2012. The Company valued the technology in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-30-30, Intangible - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill - Initial Measurement, and ASC 805-50-30, Business Combinations – Related Issues – Initial Measurement, which require that intangible assets acquired through a transaction that is not a business combination shall be measured based on the cash consideration paid plus either the fair value of the non-cash consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident. As the Company has only recently begun selling products based on the acquired technology and intellectual property, management determined that the fair value of the common stock issued was more clearly evident, and accordingly, recorded the acquired intangible assets at the aggregate amount of $1,225,000. The Company incurred $3,194 of royalties for the three months ended December 31, 2011 prior to termination of the License and owed Syzygy an aggregate of $7,028 in royalties included in accounts payable.

On December 29, 2011 the Company appointed Kenneth F. Potashner as a director and engaged him as a consultant and advisor. He has agreed in principle to become the Company’s full-time Executive Chairman at a future date to be agreed between Mr. Potashner and the Company’s Board of Directors but expected to be before March 15, 2012. The consultancy, unless amended or extended, will terminate on the earlier of March 15, 2012 or his formal appointment as Executive Chairman. Mr. Potashner was granted a stock option, pursuant to the 2012 Plan, to purchase 2,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.65 per share. The option has a five-year term with 10% of the options vesting on the grant date, and the balance becoming exercisable quarterly commencing March 31, 2012 over eight quarters. Other than the grant of stock options Mr. Potashner will not receive any cash remuneration for his consulting and advisory services. Mr. Potashner was also granted an additional five-year option on 50,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.65 per share vesting quarterly commencing December 31, 2011 for his role as a director of the Company.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Our officers and directors are indemnified as to personal liability as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), our articles of incorporation and our bylaws. Section 78.7502 of the NRS provides that a corporation may eliminate personal liability of an officer or director to the corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or director provided that such indemnification is limited if such party acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation.
 
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws state that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the NRS. Except under limited circumstances, our bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said mounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, we may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to our bylaws.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of a small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
In the event that a claim for indemnification against these types of liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will submit the question of whether indemnification by us is against public policy to an appropriate court and will be governed by the final adjudication of the case.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
Since our incorporation in June 2010, we have issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act (all share and amounts prior to the effect of the anticipated 1-for-5 reverse stock split):
 
 
(1)
On June 30, 2011, we issued 1,400,000 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants by ten holders. The warrants were issued on September 28, 2010 in connection with the issuance by us of $700,000 in aggregate principal amount of 8% subordinated promissory notes (“Notes”).  Pursuant to the terms of the warrants and the Notes, we elected to offset the $0.30 per share exercise price against the principal of the related Notes and accordingly the outstanding principal on the Notes was reduced by $420,000. No inducements, commissions or other consideration was incurred or paid in connection with the exercise of the warrants and the issuance of the shares of common stock.
     
   
In addition, eight Note holders representing $250,000 of the remaining principal balance of the Notes agreed to convert the remaining principal balance of their respective Notes and all accrued interest into shares of common stock at $0.70 per share. We issued 410,963 shares of common stock in exchange for aggregate principal and interest of $287,671.
     
   
Entities affiliated with two officers and one director participated in the warrant exercise and Note conversion on the same terms as unaffiliated investors.  These entities exercised warrants for an aggregate of 820,000 shares of common stock reducing the related Note principal balances by $246,000 and converted the remaining $164,000 principal balance of their Notes and $24,712 of accrued interest into 269,590 shares of common stock.
     
   
These issuances were in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
     
 
(2)
On February 22, 2011, we issued to selected institutional investors and entities affiliated with two of our officers an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants are exercisable until February 22, 2016.  Gross proceeds were $1,000,000 and are intended for working capital purposes.  On September 30, 2011, entities affiliated with executive officer Elwood G. Norris and executive officer James A. Barnes exercised an aggregate of 400,000 warrants, for which we issued 400,000 shares of common stock and received $300,000 cash proceeds.  These issuances were in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
     
 
(3)
On October 8, 2010, we granted an aggregate of 1,555,000 stock options pursuant to the terms of our 2010 Stock Option Plan to nine individuals who are either directors, executive officers, key employees or key consultants of our company. These stock options provide each holder the right to purchase shares of our company for a term of five years subject to certain conditions.  The stock options vest quarterly over two years, subject to continued service, beginning on December 31, 2010.  Executive officer Elwood G. Norris was granted 750,000 of these options exercisable at $0.33 per common share, executive officer James A. Barnes was granted 650,000 of these options exercisable at $0.30 per common share, director Daniel M. Hunter was granted 25,000 of these options exercisable at $0.30 per common share, and all other issued options are exercisable at $0.30 per common share.  These issuances were in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
     
 
(4)
On September 28, 2010, we entered into Subscription Agreements with ten accredited investors, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of $700,000 in 8% Notes, due September 28, 2011, and accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per common share.  The warrants have a five-year term and a cashless exercise provision, subject to certain limitations.  The net proceeds of the debt financing obtained in cash were $450,000 which we intend to use for working capital. This amount included $110,000 from entities affiliated with officers and directors purchased for cash on the same terms as other investors. These issuances were in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
     
 
(5)
Effective December 29, 2011, we granted stock options on an aggregate of 2,805,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Plan to six individuals, including one director and five consultants of our company. These stock options provide each holder the right to purchase shares of our common stock for a term of five years subject to certain conditions and have an exercise price of $0.65 per share. These issuances were in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
     
 
(6)
On December 29, 2011, we issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock to Syzygy in consideration of the sale of intellectual property held by Syzygy. These issuances were in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 17.  Undertakings.
 
(a)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
(b)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(1)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus as filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
(2)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
