ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

General

The registrant, Arkados Group, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1998.

We are principally engaged in developing and marketing technology and solutions enabling broadband communication, multimedia, and networking over standard household electrical lines. We conduct these activities principally through Arkados, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary. In September 2006, we changed our corporate name from CDKnet.com, Inc., to its current form to align our corporate identity with the “Arkados” brand developed by our subsidiary. Our Arkados subsidiary is a member of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, an independent trade organization which has developed global specifications for high-speed powerline communications, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology.

Our executive offices are located at 220 Old New Brunswick Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854. We can be reached at our principal offices by telephone at (732) 465-9300. Arkados maintains a website at www.arkados.com.

Overview

Arkados provides both hardware and software engines for a wide variety of products that enable high-speed digital transmission of music, movies, video, voice, smart grid applications, and broadband data over the existing infrastructure of electrical power lines.

By combining our system-on-chip (SoC) semiconductors with software and hardware platform designs, our solutions address diverse target markets in a number of growing market categories.

We began the transition from development stage company in fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 by generating revenue of $855,676 and generated $763,040 of revenue in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. During Fiscal 2009, we obtained a second extension of convertible subordinated notes which expired June 30, 2009, obtained a limited waiver of anti-dilution rights held the holders of secured convertible notes to facilitate equity financing, and added Harris Cohen to our board of directors. As of September 30, 2009, $12,254,363 of secured debt, of which $3,462,067 is held by related parties, outstanding at May 31, 2009 is in default, as is $999,733 principal and interest on unsecured notes due June 29, 2009. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, $2,639,057 of salary remains due to our employees and our accounts payable was approximately $1,751,084, of which $1,710,084 was over 90 days. We continue to negotiate with the holders of each class of debt to fashion a forbearance agreement, compromise or convert outstanding debt into equity and thereby facilitate raising additional investor capital. We have reached a general understanding with the holders of approximately 83% of secured debt as to the terms and conditions upon which they would agree to accept partial payment of principal and convert the balance of secured debt to equity, however, there is no binding agreement on anyone’s part to do so and no assurance can be given that the terms will be acceptable to the holders of all of the secured debt. We have also received indications of interest from potential private and strategic investors concerning the terms and conditions upon which they would make an investment in Arkados, including the terms upon which the secured debt and other debt would have to be compromised and converted for them to make such investments, but there is no binding commitment on anyone’s part to complete the transactions. Finally, without commitment on anyone’s part, we have discussed converting a substantial portion of

- 4 -

past due compensation with our employees if the financing and restructuring of our debt can be completed. Pending the completion of these transactions, we are financing operations by issuing bridge notes to investors that would participate in an equity financing if the debt can be restructured. If the financing proceeds, these investors would be able to make the equity investment in Arkados at a discount of 33% from the price other investors are offered. In the event the financing is not completed, the bridge notes are due with interest at the annual rate of 8% on January 31, 2009.

We have designed our turnkey solutions to be used inside products for both consumers and industry. For example, consumer products can use Arkados solutions as part of a connected home entertainment and computing network, while industry can implement Arkados solutions as a part of a utility company’s “smart grid” and “green energy” solutions.

We are a “fabless” semiconductor company, meaning we design semiconductors without the capital requirements of owning and operating a fabrication facility; Arkados semiconductors are made from our designs by independent fabricators. We offer our customers complete hardware and software design solutions that allow them to build devices that will distribute audio, video, voice, and data content throughout the whole house, building, or “smart-grid” infrastructure.

Recent Announcements

Despite the extraordinary challenges of our financial position, Fiscal 2009 brought a number of significant announcements that solidified our relationships with STMicroelectronics, Freescale Semiconductor, and Tatung. Also, Arkados customers devolo AG, Checkolite, Russound, NuVo, and IOGEAR made announcements of products based on our chip.

In October 2008, we announced an agreement with STMicroelectronics to develop and manufacture a 200 Mbit per second, HomePlug AV wideband powerline modem System-on-Chip (SoC). Planned for availability mid-2010, the world’s first HomePlug AV SoC is designed to power applications ranging from simple Ethernet-to-powerline bridges to full-featured products as wide ranging as HDTV distribution, digital set-top boxes, IPTV, whole-house audio, networked digital picture frames, surveillance systems, and also industrial and commercial applications, especially targeting the Smart Grid and Green Energy segments. STMicroelectronics is largest semiconductor manufacturer to announce plans to bring a HomePlug AV chip to market, and, based on announced product plans of other HomePlug members, we believe this chip will be the only chip available in the near term that will be interoperable with three established powerline standards: TIA-1113/HomePlug 1.0, HomePlug AV, and the recently confirmed IEEE 1901 Baseline Standard.

In January 2009, Arkados announced a new initiative with Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. to bring a versatile “Whole-House Audio In a Box™” platform to market. The platform uses Arkados’ HomePlug® based multimedia streaming technology, and Freescale’s Synkro wireless communications technology, enabling untethered devices to control and monitor the system and display live data.

In August 2008, we announced a relationship with the $7B global Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) Tatung. The collaborative relationship between Tatung and Arkados constitutes a one-stop shop for the industry’s technology and manufacturing needs for distributing digital content in homes. Together, the companies deliver complete product solutions to consumer product manufacturers – from audio input/output devices, to integrated speakers, to control units. By coupling Tatung’s product design and manufacturing with the Arkados technology platform, the companies can deliver turnkey products to brand-name manufacturers. We announced how we have built on this relationship in June 2009 by demonstrating the capability to connect Smart Grid applications and in-home consumer applications over one network. The demonstration at Computex featured Tatung’s smart meter connected to an Electricity Control Center via a WiMAX network, and a number of in-home entertainment applications connected via an Arkados powered HomePlug powerline network. Devices residing on the HomePlug network enable home video surveillance, control of electricity usage, and home entertainment.

The global market leader in HomePlug products, devolo AG, used the recent CeBIT 2009 show in Germany to introduce the dLAN Audio World system, which is based on Arkados solutions. It is the world’s first system to combine an iPod® dock with multiple active speakers, using powerline communications to instantly create whole-house music.

Arkados was also recognized through awards given to the products of our customers: Checkolite International received a “CES Best of the Best” award from G4 Television for a system that combines whole-house audio with lighting control; Russound’s Collage and NuVo’s Renovia systems were each recognized as Honorees in the 2009 CES Innovations awards.

Both the NuVo and Russound systems were displayed at the 2009 Electronic House Expo (EHX) and were singled out by CE Pro magazine in a list of Ten Products to Watch for in 2009. Each system is built around the Arkados chip and software platform. Both companies have begun significant marketing campaigns as the products plan to begin roll out later this year.

The recognition of our customers’ products follows a major award received by Arkados in January 2008 from G4 Television. The Arkados HomePlug system-on-chip and software solution won the award on the strength of its embedded solution powering the IOGEAR Powerline Stereo Audio System which creates whole-house music at a fraction of the cost of dedicated installed systems. The IOGEAR product is now on sale and has received very positive reviews, including a 4-star rating from About.com that called the product “a giant step forward in multiroom audio.”1

Arkados Products

Our highly integrated semiconductors provide the internet or network connections over existing electric lines for new consumer electronic products (such as stereo systems, television sets, intercoms and personal iPods®) and smart grid applications. Our solutions can also be used for bridging legacy products with newer home networking and broadband communications technologies.

Arkados solutions offer a completely different approach than our competitors. Our solutions incorporate a processor and multiple interfaces into the same chip that houses HomePlug communication technology, as well as provide application-level software that runs on the chip. We believe this “system-on-a-chip” approach provides a more cost-effective and more flexible strategy to bring products to market for our customers.

●	Comprehensive platform solutions.

Our platform solutions consist of an integrated package of hardware, firmware and software designed to enable our customers to develop differentiated products in a cost-effective manner with a short time-to-market. In addition to a high-performance SoC, we plan to provide our customers with customizable, high functionality firmware, and software development kits to allow them to rapidly develop and differentiate their products. As a result, we would be able to reduce our customers’ investment in costly and time-consuming internal firmware and software development for their products, and from having to source different firmware and software for their end products from multiple suppliers.

●	Customizable firmware and software.

Our firmware, which is sold as a bundled solution with our SoCs, includes a real-time operating system and a set of application specific modules that support a wide range of functions including Web-based management, audio distribution, traffic classifications, etc. Our software platform includes a comprehensive suite of components, such as device link libraries and drivers, tools, sample code and documentation to create applications that would allow a wide range of networking devices and networked multimedia appliances.

●	Targeted, high-performance SoCs.

Our SoC solutions are specifically designed for the powerline communication market. They are driven by function-specific blocks that allow simultaneous execution of complex operations, such as transmission of data over power lines and MPEG audio decoding and playback. Our SoCs support most major peripheral connection protocols, including USB, Ethernet, Infrared, I2S, and a number of specialized and general purpose interfaces. This support enables connectivity to a variety of playback, display and content creation devices including cameras, PCs, televisions and car and home audio systems.

Technology

Arkados is committed to building standards based solutions. Currently, Arkados SoCs are based on the specifications developed by the HomePlug Powerline Alliance and TIA-1113 standards. Our planned HomePlug® AV based AI-2100 SoC, which is being developed and manufactured under an agreement with STMicroelectronics, is designed be interoperable with three established powerline standards: TIA-1113/HomePlug 1.0, HomePlug AV, and the recently confirmed IEEE 1901 Baseline Standard. The chip also designed to offer support for the Inter PHY Communication Protocol (IPP) as defined by the IEEE P1901 Working Group, and which is scheduled to be included in the upcoming ITU-T G.hn standard.

System-on-Chip Semiconductors

Arkados has a number of design wins that employ our first SoC, the Arkados AI-1100, which we started marketing in Fiscal 2007. The device supports applications such as whole-house music streaming, whole-house internet access, and can be used in IPTV set-top boxes designed to decode and display standard definition video content -- from sources as varied as surveillance cameras and YouTube -- on regular TVs throughout the home. This turnkey solution features a programmable MAC and an on-chip ARM 9 application processor. Its fully HomePlug 1.0 compliant MAC/PHY and Arkados extensions and software provide increased performance and future proofing.

Our next generation SoC, the AI-2100, will be backwards compatible with our current chip and it will feature an enhanced embedded Quality of Service (QoS) engine which supports video flows for low jitter, lip synch and low latency delivery. The chip is being developed and manufactured under an agreement with STMicroelectronics.

Software

In our view, today’s digital products are incomplete without an array of software components that enable both device-to-device communications and robust product features. We provide our customers with a host of software components that run directly on our chips, further reducing development time. These software components include application-level features (such as our Direct-to-Speaker™ multi-channel audio synchronization, networking and internet, online gaming, etc.) embedded application support software (audio compression/decompression, internet radio support, GUI support, video drivers, etc.), Quality of Service engine, traffic management, and TCP/IP components.

Market Opportunities

Arkados solutions are offered to the following markets:

●	the retail consumer electronics market and the whole-home custom installation market

●	the smart grid market

●	the subscription services market.

The Growing Digital Home: Networked Consumer Electronics

As broadband access to the home is becoming ubiquitous, home networking and connectivity demands for digital home applications continues to grow – extending the internet, and the services that travel on it, to every corner of the house.

The promise of sending digital communications over common power lines is now being realized, and Arkados’ products serve several large and growing markets: retail consumer electronic products, whole-house audio installations, smart-grid utility company applications, broadband-over-powerline internet access, and the distribution of internet-based services.

The Arkados AI-1100 is the first HomePlug 1.0 compliant system-on-chip targeted for the retail consumer electronics market. Coupled with software to create full turnkey solutions for its customers, the Arkados AI-1100 has already received a number of design wins, and is the engine behind the creation of reasonably-priced multi-room audio and video distribution products for the retail consumer market. Products coming to market soon will feature iPod® docking stations and powered speakers that can be placed anywhere in the home, with no additional wiring needed.

As a subset of this market, the whole-house audio market category has been particularly active. Arkados’ solutions offer a way to create both retail and custom audio systems with features and functionality heretofore available only in multi-thousand dollar custom audio installations. Arkados’ customers include Devolo AG, Channel Vision, IOGEAR, Gigafast, Tatung, and Zinwell.

Two customers in particular, Russound and Nuvo have begun marketing campaigns for their whole-house systems that use the Arkados chips and software. Russound’s Collage system and Nuvo’s Renovia system are planned to be available in the customer installation channels later this year.

These high-end custom audio systems, which address the existing home market (expanding from their primary market target of newly constructed homes), can feature up to 12 separate audio zones and can process a wide range of sources of audio content which can be streamed from any digital or legacy analog source.

Russound, a leading custom multi-room audio distribution system manufacturer, selected the AI-1100 for use in its iBridge Power Dock and its Collage system. Arkados has received initial volume commitments and NRE’s (Non-Recurring Engineering) valued over $1.2 million from customers in this area, of which over $602,668 has been recognized through May 31, 2009. Arkados’ chips can also power cameras, video endpoints, and sensors for other installed home systems, such as for surveillance systems.

- 7 -

Smart Energy and Utility Company Applications

Another large potential market for Arkados’ solutions relates to energy conservation, the “green” applications that help utility companies and their customers save both money and energy. For example, “Smart Grid” applications (Green Energy, demand response, energy efficiency and grid modernization – i.e., reduction of carbon emissions) and home/building automation (such as controlling air conditioner thermostats remotely) represent large and attractive opportunities given today’s surging energy costs. Arkados has design wins at MainNet and Corporate Systems Engineering.

Services

An additional immediate potential market for the Arkados platform is for subscription music services. Arkados software and chips enable the distribution of Internet music services (e.g., Rhapsody, Yahoo! Music, AOL Music, Shoutcast services). The Company is actively working on reference designs and business strategies to address this rapidly developing market.

Press & Analyst Quotes about Arkados Target Markets

The following is a brief compendium of publicly available quotes that echo our beliefs in the strength of Arkados’ target markets2:

●	Retail Consumer Electronics for the Digital Home Market

From EETimes: “Embedded processors and connectivity chips are bright spots in a semiconductor market that will see double-digit dips in computer and cellular chip sales in 2009, said Mario Morales, vice president of global semiconductor research at International Data Corp. The need for more intelligence in a broad range of embedded systems is driving 15 percent compound annual growth in embedded processors. Chip sales will rise from more than three billion in 2007 to nearly seven billion in 2012, IDC forecasts. Less than three percent of popular devices such as digital TVs and set-top boxes sport connectivity today, another ripe area for growth. Here combination chips that support multiple standards such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and others are rising from 20 percent of today’s connectivity chips to 60 percent by 2012, Morales predicted.” (3/5/2009)

iSuppli: “The next networking frontier is the home – and the ubiquitous power line is its Holy Grail,” says Steve Rago, Principal analyst and author for iSuppli’s new report ‘Home Networking Technology’s Killer Connection’. “Both the IEEE and the ITU are driving emerging power line standards. It currently appears that the IEEE, which includes HomePlug AV technology, may have the advantage due to the timing, available silicon, and its announced supporters, including STMicroelectronics and Arkados. In its report, iSuppli forecasts 210 million power line devices will ship during 2013, a CAGR of 76% over the next five years.” (1/6/2009)

●	Smart-Grid and Utility Applications Market

From CNNMoney.com: “The Brattle Group, a think tank, estimates the nation will need to spend up to $1.5 trillion on its electricity system over the next 20 years - and that’s just enough to keep the lights on. An investment in cleaner energy could put the figure at $2 trillion, and would include building new power plants, transmission lines, and focus on conservation. On the grid alone - the lines, towers, meters and substations - Brattle estimates the first steps towards a smart grid could cost about $900 billion over the next two decades. That includes money for computers, meters and software to digitize the grid. (1/8/2009)

From EE Times: “Citing various studies, Texas Instruments Fellow Dave Freeman said some 50 million analog meters in the U.S. are likely to be replaced by 2010 at a cost of about $18 billion. Worldwide, only 6 percent of electricity, 8 percent of gas and 4 percent of water meters are now automated. Freeman said that using “smart” solutions would enable home thermostats and large appliances to communicate wirelessly or over existing power lines to help consumers conserve energy. He pointed to recent U.S. policies and incentives for developing a smart grid.” (3/18/2009)

o	From BuddeComm press release: “the urgent need to address climate change through measures such as smart grids will be the main force for deploying BPL networks. In California alone it is estimated that approximately 17.5 million smart meters will be deployed between 2008 and 2010.”

From EDN Magazine: “in the electric industry alone, 500 million meters worldwide could be replaced over the next 10 years, resulting in semiconductor sales of at least $7.5 billion, according to Mark Buccini, director of strategic marketing for Texas Instruments’ microcontroller products.” And continues to say “a large number of those will be connected to a home area network, and that home network will have at least one device that can talk to the meter,” and that “the communications piece is as much as three times as big [as the $7.5B market for meters].” (6/24/2008)

●	Subscription and “over the top” Services

Many services currently available, from remotely-monitored security, to piped-in music, to health monitoring systems, require costly professional installation for communication and distribution. With the addition of a broadband pipe to the house, and the use of an in-home distribution method such as Arkados solutions provide, over-the-top (OTT) this type of solution allows the content owners to deliver the content directly to consumers.

The Diffusion Group: “By 2012, approximately 190 million households will use a next-generation game console; 80% of these households – 148 million – will have this console connected to the Internet; and 75% of connected-console households – more than 110 million – will use console-based video services at least a couple times each week.” (12/1/2008)

The Diffusion Group: “TDG found that 40% of broadband users are watching at least an hour of video per week on the Internet. More surprising is that 30% of those are watching 25% or more of their TV online. Imagine what will happen when tens of millions of households are capable of watching broadband video on their big-screen, high-dollar, high-definition TVs and home theater systems.” (5/2008)

Corporate Background

On May 24, 2004, we filed a merger certificate completing the acquisition of Miletos, Inc., a previously unaffiliated Delaware corporation (the “Merger”). The consideration for this Merger was 16,090,577 restricted shares of our common stock and the assumption of certain liabilities of Miletos’ predecessor and former controlling equity holders. The merger was completed according to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 7, 2004. Miletos merged into a wholly owned subsidiary we formed for the merger which then changed its name to “Arkados, Inc.”.

Simultaneously with the merger, we completed a private placement of 883,334 shares of our common stock for aggregate proceeds of $1,060,000, of which approximately $950,000 were subscriptions for cash, $50,000 (41,667 shares) was for outstanding debt of Arkados, and $59,800 (49,834 shares) was in lieu of consulting fees. The sale was made to 10 accredited investors (“Investors”) directly by us without any general solicitation or broker. The offering is claimed to be exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, we settled liabilities relating to outstanding convertible notes and payables for 700,000 common shares.

Prior to the Merger, on March 23, 2004, Miletos acquired the assets and business of Enikia, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company at a public foreclosure sale, including the intellectual property upon which Arkados’ development efforts are based. Miletos was formed in February 2004, by control affiliates of Enikia. These control affiliates were both secured creditors of Enikia and holders of the controlling equity interest in Enikia. They contributed a secured promissory note to Miletos in the initial principal amount of $9,221,000, dated June 1, 2002. The promissory note also represents obligations to the lender for additional advances to Enikia by the control group which brought the aggregate principal due at the time of foreclosure to approximately $11,100,000. At the foreclosure sale, Miletos forgave $4,000,000 of the secured obligation in exchange for substantially all of the assets of Enikia. The merger has been treated as a reorganization of Arkados, Inc. via a reverse merger with Arkados Group, Inc. The assets acquired at the foreclosure sale and certain liabilities assumed by Arkados Group, Inc. have been recorded as historical cost.

On March 3, 2007 we completed the merger of Arkados Wireless Technologies, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) with Aster Wireless, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Aster”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 13, 2007 by and among Merger Sub and Arkados Group, Inc.

Dependence on Financing Activities

Although we have started to generate revenue during the past two years, we continue to be dependent on outside sources of financing to continue the development of our semiconductors and software, and to further support sales. During fiscal 2008, we completed a series of debt financings in the aggregate principal amount of $855,000; we also issued notes in the amount of $125,000 which were converted into equity in August 2008. Andreas Typaldos, our Chairman and one other Director loaned the Company $177,700. From June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009, we received advances from related parties of approximately $649,000 which was converted into equity in August 2008. In addition, we received an additional $20,000 which represents borrowings from related parties.

We have sought and will continue to seek various sources of financing but there are no binding commitments from anyone to provide us with financing. In addition, there is $12,073,612 principal and interest amount of 6% Secured Convertible Debentures due June 28, 2009 (initially due December 28, 2008) issued during the period from December 2004 to August 31, 2008 outstanding, which has been an impediment to obtaining equity financing. The documents were amended in January 2007 to eliminate the requirement that the holders of 60.1% of the outstanding principal amount consent to our issuance of shares, debt or fixed convertible securities to finance our operations, continue to contain a full “ratchet down” provision which has a dilutive effect, which is triggered by future financing at an effective price lower than the conversion and warrant exercise price.

In July 2008, we reached an agreement with the holders of the Secured Debentures which extended the due date to June 28, 2009 capitalizing interest until the Secured Debentures are due and waiving the ratchet down anti-dilution adjustment for certain equity financings completed before October 31, 2008. The Company exchanged the following for these amendments:

●	new debentures for 25% of the outstanding principal amount of Secured Debentures ($2,845,815.25) having identical rights as the Secured Debentures, except that the conversion price is $0.25 rather than $0.85 and

●	new warrants for 25% of the existing warrants held by the holders of the Secured Debentures (2,332,131), identical to the warrants surrendered, except that the warrant exercise price is $0.25 rather than $0.85 and the new warrants are only exercisable for cash until December 1, 2008.

On August 7, 2008, we issued 1,690,080 units (each consisting of two shares of our common stock and one warrant) to 18 accredited investors for aggregate consideration of $845,038.47. Of this consideration $762,593.66 was cash or cash advances made to us after April 15, 2008 and the balance was in exchange for prior obligations for borrowed money and other accounts payable. The warrants are exercisable until June 30. 2013 and entitle the holder to acquire one additional share of our common stock for $0.25 per share.

While a substantial portion of the net proceeds of these financing activities was initially used to repay pre-existing debt, all of the proceeds during the fiscal year 2008 were used to support Arkados’ operations. There is no assurance that the holders of the Secured Debentures will continue to provide additional funds to us, that future equity financing will be available or that future financing will not be impeded by the anti-dilution provisions of the documents. Our ability to continue our operations depends on our ability to obtain financing. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to retain existing and/or attract new employees, support product development and fabrication, take advantage of market opportunities, develop or enhance new products, pursue acquisitions that would complement our existing product offerings or enhance our technical capabilities to develop new products or execute our business strategy.

On July 2, 2009 we received notice from a law firm representing approximately 45% of our outstanding 6% secured convertible debentures due June 28, 2009 (the “Debentures”) were in default by reason of non-payment. This event triggers an “Event of Default” under the terms of the Debentures on July 8, 2009, absent payment in full. The Event of Default entitles the holders of the Debentures to redemption at the rate of 130% of the principal and accrued interest outstanding, interest on unpaid interest and principal at the rate of 18% per annum commencing on July 8, 2009 and reimbursement for expenses incurred enforcing the obligations.

We have been negotiating for an infusion of equity capital, restructuring of our secured and unsecured debt and the holders of the Debentures have indicated that they are inclined to work with the company in this regard. Although there can be no assurance that the forbearance, financing or restructuring of our debt can be achieved, we continue to work closely with representatives of the holders of the Debentures to maintain the company as an ongoing business, which includes preserving our current operations and relationships with existing customers, partners and suppliers.

As of July 6, 2009 the $1,066,500 principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due June 30, 2009 were also in default by reason on non-payment. Under the terms of the Notes, the interest rate increases to 12% during the period the Notes are in default and the holders are entitled to the costs of collection. We plan to discuss forbearance or extension of the due dates of the Notes, as well as conversion of the Notes into equity with the holders and their representatives, but there can be no assurance that any such agreement can be reached.

Industry Background

Music, movies, the electrical “smart grid”, and a wide range of communication services are experiencing a fundamental shift. The distribution of content to products, and in some cases the products themselves, is transitioning from traditional methods. Digital content is requires a new digital distribution model.

Arkados’ Standards-based Solutions

Arkados’ solutions are designed to directly address this opportunity by enabling electrical power sockets to be turned into high-speed network ports, thereby providing a high-speed pathway through which digital information can travel inside a home, to the home, and on the smart grid. We believe that this shift creates demand for new products, and new products will require new types of semiconductors that incorporate digital technologies, supporting such functions as communication, application processing, and media rendering.

Our ArkTIC® family of turnkey hardware and software solutions is designed to address these requirements. In particular, Arkados has implemented a method that uses power lines as a pathway for digital information, allowing end users to truly achieve “plug-and-play” simplicity without the hassles of custom-installed networks, or the problems associated with wireless solutions such as dropouts, unreliable coverage, and security issues.

Standards-compliance Creates Market and Product Confidence

Members of the Arkados team have been active in establishing standards for the powerline communications industry since the year 2000.

Standards are important for a number of reasons, but especially when both consumers and service providers may be installing different pieces of the ecosystem – as in the powerline communications industry. Wireless standards, for example, have brought about a ubiquitous, interoperable and affordable standard for portable data communication, which resulted in greatly accelerated market growth.

Members of the Arkados team participated in the creation of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, an independent industry association. The Alliance’s mission is to enable and promote rapid availability, adoption and implementation of cost effective, interoperable and standards-based home powerline networks and products. Formed in 2000, the Alliance developed the HomePlug 1.0 specification that unified product vendors in support of a single powerline solution for home networking. In 2008, the technology of the HomePlug 1.0 specification was adopted by the Telecommunication Industry Association as TIA-1113 standard. In 2005, the Alliance ratified HomePlug AV specification that enables 200Mbps class communication over power lines.

Market Analyst In-Stat believes that powerline communication will be a potentially important technology for multimedia networking, as the technology could provide a home network backbone. Arkados has worked in significant ways to develop the HomePlug specifications including in-home technologies (HomePlug 1.0, HomePlug AV, and HomePlug AV2), to-the-home technologies ( HomePlug BPL for broadband over powerline), and HomePlug Command &Control (C&C) and HomePlug GP (“Green PHY”) for low-speed command and control and Smart Grid applications.

Arkados is a Contributing Member of the HomePlug alliance. Members of the Arkados team hold leadership positions in the Alliance and in several HomePlug working groups. Oleg Logvinov, our president and CEO, serves as the Chief Strategy Officer of the HomePlug Alliance. Mr. Logvinov is also a past president of the Alliance, having been succeeded by Matthew Theall of Intel. Additionally, Jim Reeber, our Director of Marketing has served as Chair of Marketing Working Group since 2003; Grant Ogata, our Executive Vice President of Worldwide Operations, has served as the Chairman of HomePlug Command and Control Working Group and was instrumental in spearheading the alliance’s efforts to develop a specification for a low-cost command and control technology in his role as the working group chair. Recently Jim Allen, our Vice President of Standardization and Advance Planning, has accepted the role of chair of the HomePlug Smart Energy Technical Working Group.

The HomePlug technology now dominates the marketplace. Market analyst In-Stat forecasted that by 2010, the technology based on HomePlug specifications will hold 85% of the worldwide market for powerline communications. The HomePlug Powerline Alliance has brought together both personal computer and consumer electronics companies on a global scale. Membership in the Alliance has grown to include nearly 70 industry-leading companies. HomePlug Sponsor companies include Cisco; Comcast; GE Energy., part of General Electric Co.; Gigle Semiconductor, Intel Corporation; Intellon, Motorola; NEC Electronics, and SPiCOM Technologies. Besides Arkados, contributor members include Corporate Systems Engineering; Renesas; Texas Instruments; and YiTran Communications.

- 11 -

Arkados is also a member of the IEEE P1901 group that is focused on the development of powerline communication Physical Layer (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) specifications. Working with the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, the Arkados team has contributed to the development of a number of specifications that were contributed to standards organizations, such as the Telecommunications Industry Association.

The Strategy behind Arkados Solutions

Arkados is a fabless semiconductor company that develops comprehensive platform solutions, including system-on-chip (SoC) semiconductors, and firmware and software for manufacturers of networked multimedia appliances and feature-rich networking devices. Our platform solutions are designed to enable a systems-based approach to networking and will allow our customers to build products that are simple and intuitive to install, and easy to operate with intuitive and customizable user interfaces.

We believe that many of our customers plan to produce not just one standalone device, but they will introduce many system components that work together. An example is the audio market: Our customers would not just introduce a dock for an MP3 player, but they would also produce a variety of speakers, control units, CD players, adapters, boom-box style rendering points, etc. Our solutions enable greater versatility and value that allows our customers to create each of those components, sometimes with only a single hardware design.

The primary goal of our solutions is to enable our customers’ plan to develop and sell end-user systems. Our customers require a lower Bill of Materials (their cost for manufacturing a product), and better ways to produce a variety of components for end-user systems more quickly. We call our solutions “turnkey” because they enable our customers to create entire lines of products without dedicating their resources to long product development cycles, or extensive software design.

Our customers are also aware of our strategy to support a seamless transition to higher-speed technologies as they become available. This promotes long life-span of their development effort, and creates significant re-use of their software components. Our SoC includes a powerful processor that allows applications to be run directly on-chip. Multiple vertical applications can be built by loading different firmware, compared to having to redesign circuity. This feature can broaden product offerings, and extend the product lifecycle. The Arkados implementation of HomePlug technology offers programmability that enables OEMs to extend the functionality of their products and produce a variety of products from a single design.

Key elements of our solution are as follows:

●	Comprehensive platform solutions.

●	Customizable firmware and software.

- 12 -

●	Targeted, high-performance SoCs.

In contrast, competitors that do not provide comprehensive platform solutions such as ours may be able to produce a greater variety of customized ICs to more specifically address the particular requirements of an OEM. In addition, solutions which do not include customizable firmware and software like ours may allow OEMs to take advantage of a wider range of third-party developers. While, these alternative solutions may be lower in cost for simple data networking devices in comparison to our platform solutions, our solution will be more cost effective and has higher reliability and performance for multi-media networking including distributing audio and video throughout the home and outputting to existing consumer electronic products.

Key Strategic Elements

Provided we are able to continue to finance our operations, our objective is to be the leading supplier of comprehensive platform solutions for high-performance and feature-rich networked multimedia appliances and networking devices.

We plan to continue to commit the resources of each of our hardware, firmware and software teams to drive innovation so that our solutions are at the forefront of the networked multimedia appliances and networking devices industries and capture a leading market share. We intend to continue to devote resources to increase the performance and functionality of our SoCs and expand the features and capabilities of our firmware and software. This enables great flexibility and value for our customers as they take products to consumer and enterprise markets.

●	Maintain our focus on feature-rich networked multimedia appliances and networking devices.

We intend to build on our experience as a platform provider by continuing to focus primarily on customers that produce feature-rich networked multimedia appliances and networking devices. In addition, we intend to continue to work closely with manufacturers of other media rendering components to ensure that our platform solutions interface with their current and future technology components for optimal performance their end products.

●	Maintain our focus on the integration of powerline and audio rendering functions to secure the leadership position in networked multimedia appliances and networking devices.

We believe that the networked audio markets will continue to represent the largest near-term volume opportunity for networked multimedia appliance and networking device manufacturers. We intend to continue to focus on advancing functionality and promoting our solutions to win designs in this large and growing market. By including these options in our platform, we create a foundation that enables our customers to incorporate new features more quickly.

●	Enable new growth markets, such as photo- and video-enabled networked multimedia appliances.

We intend to build on our existing expertise to be the leading provider of comprehensive platform solutions in new markets. We intend to continue to invest our research and development efforts and engineering resources to develop new platforms and products and to strengthen our technological expertise. One example is our reference design that employs both our solutions as well as Blackfin® Processors by Analog Devices to provide a cost-effective platform for a variety of video applications based on powerline distribution. We believe that our focus in this area creates optimized solutions for our customers and increases the revenue potential for companies throughout the value chain.

●	Expand our customer base while securing additional design wins with existing customers.

We plan to be the leading supplier of new designs to our existing customers, and to secure a high market share with new customers entering this market. We intend to continue the expansion of our customer base by marketing our platform solutions to additional manufacturers of consumer devices. Further, we intend to broaden our reach within our existing customer base into their adjacent product lines that can utilize technologies that we intend to implement in the near future. By providing key hardware and software components to our customers, we believe we can deliver better value and features to our customers, while reducing design and manufacturing costs.

- 13 -

●	Create business arrangements with companies to better serve our common OEM customers.

We plan to go to market together with a number of companies who target specific areas of the marketplace. Since certain companies pursue many of the same customers who approve the products destined for the end-user, we plan to take advantage of this communality and together create solutions and offer even greater turnkey value. This approach offers OEM customers an easier point-of-contact and allows them to take advantage of efficiencies we have already built with our partners.

Our Products

We design and develop and are marketing highly integrated SoC semiconductors that are designed to cater to the markets for powerline communications. Our chip designs offer flexible solutions through programmability and remote firmware upgrades. Our customers have responded very favorably to our platform offerings which we call ArkTIC®, which is an acronym for the Arkados Total Integration Concept.

Solutions from our ArkTIC family of converged multimedia and networking solutions targets data-, audio-, photo-, and video-enabled networked multimedia appliances and networking devices.

The ArkTIC family is a portfolio of turnkey hardware and software solutions that enable OEMs and ODMs to quickly develop digitally networked consumer electronic products with a competitive cost structure to address this rapidly developing market.

The AI-2100 and future devices will include, among other enhancements, the implementation of new technologies such as HomePlug AV, HomePlug BPL, HomePlug GP, and IEEE 1901 specifications as they become available.

We have modularized a core Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and communication platform to rapidly develop customized solutions for each powerline market. This enables efficient reuse and repurposing of technology blocks, which can be used to create many specific solutions.

We also provide consulting, software, and applications support, thereby facilitating system integration in an effort to reduce our customers’ time-to-market and our customers’ development costs.

In the in-home networking portion of the market, we expect to deliver solutions for both computer-centric and entertainment-centric applications. Inside our chips, we combine the networking blocks and the blocks that are capable of supporting end-user applications for consumer electronics products. Our chips are designed to offer a high degree of programmability and may become an attractive solution for a diverse range of home-networking products that merge traditional consumer electronic functions with network-centric features.

In another portion of the market, we expect to deliver highly integrated circuits that combine both networking blocks and blocks that are capable of supporting communications applications in demand from businesses such as hotels, office parks, shopping plazas, apartment buildings, etc. This is sometimes referred to as the multi-dwelling/multi-tenant unit (MDU/MTU) or the “commercial” market. Downloadable firmware management capabilities make this an attractive solution for remote management and service applications.

In the Smart-Grid and Utility Applications portion of the market, we expect to deliver highly integrated circuits that combine both networking blocks and blocks that are capable of supporting the communications applications that are in demand from service

providers and utility companies. This portion includes the “Smart Energy” applications that help utility companies to conserve energy and better manage their network, such as Automated Meter Reading, Peak Shaving, and a host of other applications that provide a variety of benefits and cost-saving measures. Downloadable firmware management capabilities would make this an attractive solution for remote management and service applications.

The application of Arkados solutions

Listed below are examples of the products that can be built based on the Arkados semiconductors by ODMs and OEMs. Our customers have already developed some of these products and either have or will be bringing them to market.

	●	CONSUMER ELECTRONICS - Devices that bridge current devices and content with existing and new consumer electronic products throughout the home. These devices allow users to easily distribute multimedia content, allowing them to enjoy music from iPod, internet, or PC throughout the whole house; to view videos downloaded from the internet on a big screen TV; to access the digital photos stored on a PC and display them on a digital photo frame, or to share new photos with loved ones via the internet by displaying them directly on a digital photo frame located thousands of miles away. This is a growing market that includes audio & video devices with embedded powerline technology. We expect this market to grow over the next few years as more video and audio products are released with networking technologies built-in. Televisions, stereos, powered speakers, receivers, DVD and CD players, digital picture frames, home intercom systems, and other products are targeted applications for powerline networking technology. Internet streaming content and home content servers should greatly increase the demand for HomePlug 1.0 and AV products. In particular, our solutions offer advanced features such as synchronized whole-house audio which, combined with its new ease of installation, may significantly broaden the marketplace for such applications.

	●	NETWORK HARDWARE - New types of routers, switches, gateways, network attached storage, surveillance cameras, and other devices that offer various types of services to the SOHO (Small Office Home Office) network.

●

INTERNET TELEPHONY - As companies like Vonage, Comcast, Verizon and other service providers begin to roll-out new voice services to the home, an easy-to-use and reliable home network is needed. VoIP (Voice-over-IP) phones are currently produced by several vendors and we expect to see such products with HomePlug technology embedded into them.

●

HOME SECURITY - Many companies have created home security cameras that are networked through various means. Early market entrants GigaFast, Logitech, ST&T, and Asoka have already created powerline networked security cameras with embedded web servers that allow direct access to the camera’s feed.

●

SMART GRID – Many utility companies may implement applications that could provide benefits such as saving money due to automated operation, the ability to predict maintenance issues, implementing a self-healing grid architecture, reducing power outages, and making better use of their assets; managing the grid more intelligently to prevent blackouts and power disruptions; recovering more quickly after a power disruption; increasing security; implementing real-time monitoring of the state of the network, and managing a response; managing the quality of the power (to deliver differentiated services for businesses with sensitive electronics and computers); implementing “green power” programs that allow consumers to manage their electricity use and costs; and integrating control systems, power electronics, and distributed resources.

Sales & Customers

By developing solutions to facilitate our customers’ rapid development of full-featured next-generation products at reasonable prices, we position our company as a builder of bridges. Our solutions are designed to bridge entertainment and internet content to devices around the home, and to bridge between communications technologies, such as WiFi and powerline, Ethernet and powerline, and even to-the-home, in-the-home, and smart grid powerline technologies. We believe the use of digital communications technologies will increase beyond the world of computing, until a large percentage of devices in the home seamlessly connect to some form of digital content or communications.

Many of our existing and potential customers are also currently in a specific marketplace that is being affected by digital convergence and networking technologies. We believe traditional networking companies are moving into traditional consumer electronics areas, while the reverse is happening to consumer electronics companies. Arkados provides platform solutions that allow those companies to enter the new market space with ease and speed.

- 16 -

We continue to gain considerable traction with our customers. We recently counted 34 design wins for our chip, and 26 separate products that our customers have publically announced. We and our customers have publicly displayed and announced a wide variety of potential products that include whole-house audio solutions (including music player docking stations, audio bridges, powered speakers, computer drivers for whole-house networked distribution of sound, and internet radio), and whole-house video distribution systems (including Internet-based TV adapters, surveillance systems, and digital picture frames).

Our solutions have been shown in a number of public venues, including the 2008 and 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show, CeBIT 2009, CEDIA Expo 2009, Electronic House Expo 2009, and other conferences. Our prototypes or products have been publicly announced and/or demonstrated by Analog Devices, Channel Vision, Checkolite, Corporate Systems Engineering, devolo AG, Freescale, GigaFast, GoodWay, IOGEAR, NuVo, Meiloon, PAC Electronics, Russound, Tatung, Zinwell, and Zylux. Many of these companies are suppliers to top tier brands in the market place. Tatung’s service provider business has used our chip in WiMAX-to-Powerline demonstrations. Several of these relationships, among others, have progressed into sales of chips, software development services, and related revenue.

We have also been involved with our customers in projects related to Smart Grid applications. Smart Grids have received increased attention due to the recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The act includes $4.5 billion focused on smart grid related activities and smart meters, and $7.3 billion to support expanding access to broadband in underserved communities. Arkados has already reported service revenue related to smart grid development projects. As early as October 2007, Arkados and MainNet Communications announced plans to jointly develop applications to improve the reliability and efficiency of electrical grids, connect consumer electronic devices over power lines, enable energy-saving initiatives, and deliver Broadband content to homes and offices. Arkados has also provided solutions for components intended to implement energy-saving programs (such as temperature control, smart thermostats, and demand-driven load control) that were used in trials of a “green power” application with Corporate Systems Engineering.

We are working closely with many of the leading communications, digital entertainment and consumer electronics companies some of which may result in design wins and orders for our integrated circuits. There are multiple OEMs that are sampling and testing our AI-1100 SoC chips, and one has announced a product incorporating our chip, but factors such as design issues, compatibility issues and manufacturing errors could delay the functioning of the products and prevent us from making sales. As is evidenced by the HomePlug certification of several of our reference designs for an Internet Radio and for a whole-house connected iPod dock, we are focused on delivering a wide array of reference designs that can help guide our customers through the product-to-market cycle.

We believe our solutions create easy-to-install and easy-to-use products since connectivity occurs through the existing electrical outlets and electrical wires. For the end user, products that use Arkados solutions connect to each other by simply plugging in, while also being reliable and secure.

Strategic Relationships

Fiscal 2009 brought a number of significant announcements that solidified our relationships with STMicroelectronics, Freescale Semiconductor, and Tatung. Each of these relationships allows Arkados to bring value to our customers.

Arkados and STMicroelectronics announced an agreement to develop and manufacture a 200 Mbit per second, HomePlug AV wideband powerline modem System-on-Chip (SoC). STMicroelectronics is largest semiconductor manufacturer to announce plans to bring a HomePlug AV chip to market, and, based on announced product plans of other HomePlug members, we believe this chip will be the only chip available in the near term that will be interoperable with three established powerline standards: TIA-1113/HomePlug 1.0, HomePlug AV, and the recently confirmed IEEE 1901 Baseline Standard. STMicroelectronics will manufacture the chip, and both STMicroelectronics and Arkados will market a version of the device specifically targeted at “bridging” applications such as Ethernet-to-Powerline adapters, or other applications where only a MAC/PHY implementation is needed. Arkados will continue to focus on marketing the chip for more full-featured connected media applications such as whole-house audio, IPTV, and segments of the smart-grid market.

Arkados and Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. plan to bring a versatile “Whole-House Audio In a Box™” platform to market. The platform uses Arkados’ HomePlug® based multimedia streaming technology, and Freescale’s Synkro wireless communications technology, enabling untethered devices to control and monitor the system and display live data.

We have also entered into go-to-market strategies with a number of ODMs and other technology companies. Since many companies in this space target the same customer base as we do, we plan to collaborate to create solutions and offer even greater turnkey value for OEMs. We have announced relationships and strategies with several companies, including GigaFast and Tatung.

- 17 -

Arkados’ relationship with Tatung, the $7B global ODM, constitutes a one-stop shop for the industry’s technology and manufacturing needs for distributing digital content in homes. Together, the companies deliver complete product solutions to consumer product manufacturers.

In July 2004, Arkados entered into a Silicon Product Development and Product Collaboration Agreement with GDA Technologies, Inc., under which GDA assists Arkados in translating Arkados chip designs into a mask that can be used by a semiconductor foundry to manufacture Arkados-designed integrated circuits in a cost effective manner. We paid GDA $175,000 under the agreement in Fiscal 2007 and will pay GDA 20% of production costs as compensation for production management services. In addition, we issued 150,000 shares of our restricted common stock to GDA for nominal consideration.

Manufacturing

We currently use Fujitsu Japan for all of our wafer fabrication and assembly, and Fujitsu and GDA Technologies for a portion of our design and testing. This “fabless” manufacturing strategy is designed to allow us to concentrate on our design strengths, minimize fixed costs and capital expenditures, access advanced manufacturing facilities, and provide flexibility on sourcing multiple leading-edge technologies through strategic alliances. We expect to qualify each product, participate in process and package development, define and control the manufacturing process at our suppliers where possible and practicable, develop or participate in the development of test programs, and perform production testing of products in accordance with our quality management system. If possible, we plan to use multiple foundries, assembly houses, and test houses. Our efforts to develop multiple sources of supply have been hindered by our lack of adequate working capital

In connection with the development of our next generation chip, we have entered into a development agreement with STMicroelectronics. The agreement allows Arkados to complete the design and manufacturing of without making the costly investment of taping out a new chip. STMicroelectronics is contributing to the investment for the development and manufacturing for the Arkados-designed chip. The new chips will be sold by STMicroelectronics, under its own branding, and by Arkados as the next generation ArkTIC® chip.

Research and Development

We have focused on R&D since our inception. Our company has placed significant value on the work done by our engineering staff, and we continue to create new software solutions, technology implementations, system-on-chip semiconductors, and the creation and development of intellectual property, that focus on helping our customers to get full-featured connected products to market quickly and at a lower cost.

We concentrate our research and development efforts on the design and development of new products for each of our principal markets. As of October 12, 2009, 12 of our 16 employees are dedicated to research and development. Research and development expenditures were $2,069,179, $1,987,313, and $1,920,898 in the years ended May 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Our 2007 acquisition of Aster Wireless, near Rochester, NY strengthened our intellectual property portfolio and added three R&D employees to those working in New Jersey. Since the acquisition, one member of the group has left the company. The intellectual property that was developed by Aster through years of R&D under the guidance of industry giants such as Kodak® has allowed us to introduce new products complementary to our existing product offerings. An example is our offering of a license to an implementation of the 802.15.3b Wireless Multimedia MAC, which is available to any developer interested in jumpstarting their development process, and bringing digital home multimedia products to market more quickly. With these developments, Arkados continues to offer a best-in-class platform for media-centric applications that demand reliable delivery of time-sensitive data.

We also fund certain research activities focused on other emerging product opportunities. Our future success is highly dependent upon our ability to develop complex new products, to transfer new products to volume production in a timely fashion, to introduce them to the marketplace ahead of the competition, to maintain competitive features, and to have them selected for design into products of leading systems manufacturers, all of which are challenged by our lack of working capital and diversion of management’s time and attention from Arkados’ business to emergency financing and debt restructuring.

Our future success may also depend on assisting our customers with integration of our components into their new products, including providing support from the concept stage through design, launch, and production ramp. In this new converged marketplace, we believe the role of the traditional semiconductor provider is changing, and we have positioned ourselves as a platform provider that becomes an integral part of our customer’s product development process. We believe that our focus on application related features and software may contribute to our success.

Patents, Licenses and Trademarks

Our patent portfolio reflects our innovative development efforts and our forecasts of how we envision the market will evolve. We have been awarded 12 U.S. Patents, which we believe is an indicator that we have developed a good understanding regarding key industry developments. We believe our patents not only help us to safeguard our intellectual property, but will help us to position our company as a leader in this space. We believe that some of our recently awarded patents are integral to the implementation of powerline communication networks, which may create value in our company given the global market for this technology and the vast number of potential players in the marketplace.

We rely on trade secret, patent, copyright, and trademark laws to protect our intellectual property in our products and technology. We intend to continue this practice in the future. In addition to our issued U.S. patents, we have 22 pending U.S. patent applications, and various corresponding international patents and applications.

Intellectual Property Portfolio

Examples of our IP portfolio include methods for increasing resistance to noise, allowing more robust transmissions, maximizing throughput, and several product-level applications such as adaptors and connectivity devices. We believe our patent portfolio will provide a competitive edge in the areas of the technology based on such new standards such as IEEE1901 and upcoming ITU G.hn standards.

Our IP Portfolio continues to grow. We diligently protect our inventions with US and International patents. Currently, we have been issued 12 patents by the United States Patent & Trademark Office, and have 22 pending applications. We also prosecute our valuable IP on an international basis, and currently have 7 Pending International Applications.

We have registered trademarks for Arkados® and ArkTIC® and the Arkados logo. We have two other trademark applications pending: Direct to Speaker™ and Whole House Audio in a Box™.

As a member of the HomePlug Alliance, we are obligated to license Necessary Patent Claims (intellectual property rights without the use of which products cannot conform to the HomePlug specifications) to any member of the alliance (including competitors) on a reasonable and non-discriminatory basis (known as RaND) as defined in the alliance’s Sponsor Agreement and Contributor Agreement. Under our license and development agreements, we retain title to our patents, patent applications and other licensed technology, and to any improvements that we develop.

To complement our own research and development efforts, we have also licensed, and expect to continue to license, from third parties a variety of intellectual property and technologies important to our business.

Although we have not received any notification from third parties that we are infringing any of their intellectual property, there may be third party patents or other intellectual property that we are infringing. If that were the case, third parties could assert infringement claims against us or seek an injunction on the sale of any of our products in the future. If such infringement were found to exist, we may attempt to acquire the requisite licenses or rights to use such technology or intellectual property. However, we cannot assure you that such licenses or rights could be obtained on favorable terms or at all.

Competition

Arkados faces intense competition as a solution provider, a technology developer of standards-based powerline technologies, as well as from other technologies also focused on our target markets. We believe we have had success despite our lack of capital and therefore manpower because of our ability to develop SoC/software solutions that help our customers to create full-featured products that are cost-effective and can be brought to market quickly.

Differentiation of Arkados Solutions

Some manufacturers have attempted to add HomePlug-based chips to their existing products. This “bolt-on” approach often leads to products that are functional; however, the end product can be very expensive with decreased margins.

Arkados’ solutions offer a completely different approach. By incorporating a processor and multiple interfaces into the same chip that houses HomePlug communication technology, and by providing application level software that runs on the chip, Arkados presents a more cost-effective and more flexible strategy to bring products to market.

Building on the architecture of the HomePlug 1.0 chip that offered a wide range of advantages over the competition, Arkados recently announced a HomePlug AV System-on-Chip to provide an even greater range of differentiation and advantages. This chip is called the AI-2100, which will be developed and marketed in conjunction with STMicroelectronics.

Business Environment

Markets for our products are highly competitive and we expect that competition will continue to increase. We compete with other semiconductor suppliers that offer standard semiconductors, application-specific integrated circuits, and fully customized integrated circuits, including embedded software, chip, and board-level products.

Our competitive strategy has been to provide cost-effective integrated products bundled with software that is designed to support a turnkey approach for a variety of applications. We believe this approach, coupled with the benefits of powerline communications technology, allows us to effectively compete due the following aspects:

●	Due to embedded HomePlug standard technology, we believe our product performance includes unique features such as whole-house connectivity, high throughput, ease of setup, and Quality-of-service mechanisms that preserve a positive end-user experience

●	Due to the integration of our system-on-chip and firmware solutions, we believe our potential customers will benefit from quicker time-to-market, a competitive bill-of-materials cost, an enhanced feature set, and lower development costs

●	Due to our reliance on international technology standards, we believe our solutions are able comply with regulatory requirements on a global basis

We face competition both from established players that are beginning to focus on powerline networking technology, as well as recent entrants in the field. Some of these competitors create solutions that are compliant with HomePlug Alliance specifications, while other competitors’ products are based on proprietary technologies. Immediate key competitors in the HomePlug powerline networking portion include Afa Technologies, Coppergate, Gigle Semiconductor, Intellon Corporation (which entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Atheros Communications, Inc. in September, 2009), Maxim Integrated Products Inc., and SPiDCOM . DS2 and Panasonic build ICs that are incompatible with the HomePlug standard.

We expect to face additional competition from new entrants in each of our markets, which may include both large domestic and international integrated circuit manufacturers and smaller, emerging companies. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, technical, distribution and other resources, broader product lines, greater intellectual property rights, and longer relationships with customers than we have.

In addition, there are organizations worldwide may attempt to create technology standards that compete with the industry specifications established by the HomePlug Powerline Alliance. These include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) which may adopt standards different from, and incompatible with, the technology inside our products. We also participate in these standards efforts. Other industry organizations promote powerline communications, such as the Universal Powerline Association, the Consumer Electronics Powerline Communication Alliance (CEPCA) and the High Definition Powerline Communications (HD-PLC) Alliance. They have also established technology or coexistence specifications that may conflict with the HomePlug specifications.

As a provider of powerline home connectivity integrated circuits, we face additional competition from other home connectivity technologies such as twisted pair cable, coaxial cable and wireless media. Despite the broad array of different technologies deployed to date, we believe those technologies that do not require new wires such as HomePNA, MoCA, 802.11 and other wireless alternatives, will provide competition to powerline solutions.

Sales and Marketing

We have been selling our solutions and products worldwide using the following channels:

●	Sales and marketing partnerships with established companies.

These relationships generally help to establish the presence in specific regions and access customers through already developed relationships. The benefits of using this channel are numerous, among them are added credibility, reduction of upfront sales and marketing expenses, acceleration of volume sales through incumbency of the customer base, and local customer support and account management.

●	Advanced development partnerships with strategic customers.

The benefits of using this channel include the creation of product focus, reduction of upfront sales and marketing expenses, acceleration of sales volumes through early commitments, and creation of incremental development revenues.

- 20 -

We expect to develop our sales force to include a network of direct sales regions. We expect to establish international sales offices and develop relationships with appropriate organizations located worldwide. We expect to supplement our direct sales force with sales representative organizations and distributors. The scope and development of our sales and marketing organization will depend, among other things, on the amount of capital available to us and when products are ready for testing.

Our marketing consists of various programs that help create awareness and promote the benefits of our various solutions, the worth of the company, and the value of our technology to our target industries. Much of the marketing is handled through press releases, website, involvement in trade shows and conferences, working through industry organizations, press interview opportunities, placed articles, newsletters, white papers, and through interpersonal relationships developed through numerous methods. We have at times hired agencies to assist with specialized functions.

Regulatory Environment

Our customers’ products, which contain our solutions for powerline communications technology must adhere to regulations about transmission power, permissible frequencies of operation and electromagnetic interference (EMI) for both U.S. and foreign governments. In some countries, certification tests must be performed to ensure a vendor’s products comply with the regulations. While it is our customers who are responsible to obtain certifications, we need to ensure international regulations are adhered to.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) administers regulations in the United States. Our solutions are unlicensed devices in the U.S.A. and receive no regulatory protection from interference from other devices and may not cause any harmful interference to licensed devices. Those who operate unlicensed devices must stop using a device when the FCC declares that the device is causing harmful interference. Products using our solutions over power lines both inside and outside the home are FCC-regulated and must comply with radiated emission limits and various other technical standards.

Outside of the United States, the International Electrotechnical Commission, International Special Committee on Radio Interference (IEC/CISPR) is the primary authority. IEC member states import IEC/CISPR standards into their own national laws either in whole or in part. Powerline communications regulations are based upon specific country requirements. In some countries, regulations may limit the use of powerline communications in certain circumstances or to certain power levels or frequency bands.

Before products can be sold, most countries require electronic products to comply with safety testing or to be certified. While it is our customers who are responsible to obtain certifications, we need to ensure international regulations are adhered to.

Regulations and their enforcement and interpretation varies between countries. Regulatory change or certification methodologies may require a redesign of products containing our solutions. At its most severe, regulatory changes could terminate the use of products already in the marketplace.

Backlog

We expect sales outside of strategic partnership agreements to be made primarily pursuant to standard short-term purchase orders for delivery of standard products. We expect the quantity actually ordered by the customer, as well as the shipment schedules, to be frequently revised, without significant penalty, to reflect changes in the customer’s needs. As a result, we believe that in the future, our backlog at any given time should not be used as a meaningful indicator of future revenues.

As of May 31, 2009, we have no backlog of orders.

Employees

As of May 31, 2009 and October 12, 2009, we had 13 and 16, respectively, full-time employees, including our CEO, Oleg Logvinov. The majority (10) of our full time employees are engaged in research, development, engineering with the remainder being divided to marketing and administration. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical, marketing, engineering, and management personnel. Due to the highly competitive nature of the marketplace that we operate in and our financial condition, we have lost employees since May 31, 2009 and may continue to lose key employees. As of September 30, 2009, we have not paid $2,639,057 in compensation to our employees. We are negotiating with our employees to reach an agreement to pay a portion past due compensation at the closing of a financing and debt restructuring, and while we have an agreement in principle with our employees in this regard, there are no binding agreements with employees concerning this arrangement. Further, since we have no written agreements or firm commitments for financing or debt restructuring, even if we had agreements with employees, we cannot be assured that they will remain in our employ unless financing and debt restructuring occurs. None of our employees are parties to collective bargaining agreements and, except for our inability to pay our employees in full, we believe our relations with employees are good.

From time to time, we also employ outside contractors either for a specific project, or to supplement our staff on a temporary basis.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our common stock is speculative in nature, involves a high degree of risk and should not be made by any investor who cannot afford the loss of their entire investment. Each prospective purchaser should carefully consider the following risks and speculative factors associated with our business and capital structure, as well as others described elsewhere in this report, before making any decision to buy, sell or hold our common stock.

This report contains certain statements relating to future events or the future financial performance of our company. Readers are cautioned that such statements are only predictions, involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements, prospective investors should specifically consider the various factors identified in this memorandum, including the matters set forth below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

Defaults on Secured and Unsecured Debt.

As of September 30, 2009, $12,254,363 of secured debt in the form of 6% secured convertible debentures originally due December 28, 2008 and due June 28, 2009 (the “Secured Debentures”), of which $3,462,067 is held by related parties, outstanding at May 31, 2009 is in default, as is $999,793 principal and interest on unsecured notes due June 28, 2009. In addition, as of September 30, 2009, $2,639,057 of salary remains due to our employees and our accounts payable was approximately $ 1,751,867, of which $1,719,084 was over 90 days.

On July 2, 2009 we received notice of default from a law firm representing approximately 45% of our outstanding Secured Debentures by reason of non-payment. This event triggers an “Event of Default” under the terms of the Debentures on July 8, 2009, absent payment in full. The Event of Default entitles the holders of the Debentures to redemption at the rate of 130% of the principal and accrued interest outstanding, interest on unpaid interest and principal at the rate of 18% per annum commencing on July 8, 2009 and reimbursement for expenses incurred enforcing the obligations. The holders of the Secured Debentures have all of the rights and remedies secured creditors holding a first priority security interest in all of our assets under the transaction documents and applicable law, including the right to demand assembly of our assets for sale to satisfy the obligations. These rights are exercised through Bushido Capital Master Fund, LP, as representative of the holders of the Debentures (“Bushido”).

As of July 6, 2009 the $1,066,500 principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due June 30, 2009 were also in default by reason on non-payment. Under the terms of the Notes, the interest rate increases to 12% during the period the Notes are in default and the holders are entitled to the costs of collection. We plan to discuss forbearance or extension of the due dates of the Notes with the holders and their representatives, but there can be no assurance that any such agreement can be reached.

We continue to negotiate with the holders of each class of debt to fashion a forbearance agreement, compromise or convert outstanding debt into equity and thereby facilitate raising additional investor capital. We have reached a general understanding with the holders of approximately of secured debt as to the terms and conditions upon which they would agree to accept partial payment of principal and convert the balance of secured debt to equity, however, there is no binding agreement on anyone’s part to do so and no assurance can be given that the terms will be acceptable to the holders of all of the secured debt. We have also received indications of interest from potential private and strategic investors concerning the terms and conditions upon which they would make an investment in Arkados, including the terms upon which the secured debt and other debt would have to be compromised and converted for them to make such investments, but there is no binding commitment on anyone’s part to complete the transactions. Finally, without commitment on anyone’s part, we have discussed converting a substantial portion of past due compensation with our employees if the financing and restructuring of our debt can be completed. In the absence of financing and debt restructuring, our operation are severely constrained and we may have to suspend operations altogether. In addition, unless the terms of financing and restructuring is acceptable to our general trade creditors, we remain at the risk of creditors filing an involuntary petition pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Dependence on financing.

Since we are not generating significant revenue compared to our operating expenses, we are dependent on outside sources of

- 22 -

financing. We have financed our operations by issuing secured and unsecured convertible debt and equity securities in private placements, in some cases with equity incentives for the investor in the form of warrants to purchase our common stock and have borrowed from affiliates of our Chairman of the Board. We have sought and will continue to seek various sources of financing but there are no commitments from anyone to provide us with financing. If we are unable to obtain financing, we may have to suspend operations, sell assets and will not be able to execute our business plan. Since we have defaulted on our obligations to secured debt holders and unsecured debt holders, any short term or equity financing is dependent either on the restructuring of our debt or forbearance of holders of secured and unsecured debt.

Inability to obtain additional financing would result in the suspension of our business.

Our ability to continue our operations depends on our ability to obtain financing. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to retain existing and/or attract new employees, support product development and fabrication, take advantage of market opportunities, develop or enhance new products, pursue acquisitions that would complement our existing product offerings or enhance our technical capabilities to develop new products or execute our business strategy.

Terms of our outstanding 6% Secured Convertible Debentures originally due December 28, 2008 impedes our ability to obtain financing.

We issued $9,283,461 principal amount of 6% Secured Convertible Debentures originally due December 28, 2008 during the period from December 2004 to December 31, 2007. Due to the capitalization of interest payments and the issuance of additional principal as a penalty as of April 1, 2008, the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding was $12,013,686 as of May 31, 2009 and $12,254,363 as of September 30, 2009. The documents related to these securities, although amended in January 2007 to eliminate the requirement that the holders of 60.1% of the outstanding principal amount consent to our issuance of shares, debt or fixed convertible securities to finance our operations, continue to contain a full “ratchet down” provision which has a dilutive effect which is triggered by future financing at an effective price lower than the conversion and warrant exercise price. While a substantial portion of the net proceeds of the sale of the Debentures was initially used to repay pre-existing debt, all of the proceeds during the fiscal year 2007 and 2008 were used to support Arkados’ operations. There is no assurance that the holders will continue to provide additional funds to us or that future financing will not be impeded by the anti-dilution provisions of the documents. Our ability to continue our operations depends on our ability to obtain financing. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to retain existing and/or attract new employees, support product development and fabrication, take advantage of market opportunities, develop or enhance new products, pursue acquisitions that would complement our existing product offerings or enhance our technical capabilities to develop new products or execute our business strategy.

If we lose key employees and consultants, including our Chairman and CEO, or are unable to attract or retain qualified personnel, our business could suffer.

Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical, marketing, engineering, and management personnel. Due to the highly competitive nature of the marketplace that we operate in and our financial condition, we have lost two employees during the year ended May 31, 2009, one employee since May 31, 2009 and may continue to lose key employees. We are highly dependent on our management, particularly our CEO, Oleg Logvinov and our Chairman, Andreas Typaldos. The loss of the services of either of Mr. Logvinov, Mr. Typaldos or other personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Although Mr. Logvinov is a party to an employment agreement for his services until May 24, 2008, from time to time, our inability to make payments under the agreement may give him the right to terminate his employment with us at any time on short notice. As of May 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009 we have failed to make payments totaling $595,566 and $687,458, respectively, due to Mr. Logvinov, comprised of an unpaid bonus, salary and expenses. We are negotiating a longer term agreement with Mr. Logvinov, but there can be no assurance that he will remain associated with us. Similarly, Mr. Typaldos provides services to us on a month to month basis under a consulting agreement that expired on May 31, 2007 and there is no assurance that Mr. Typaldos will continue to devote time and attention to our business. As of May 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, we owed $2,154,353 and $2,639,057, respectively, of compensation to all officers and other employees, including Mr. Logvinov. Our failure to satisfy these obligations creates a morale problem, increases the risk of our losing personnel at every level and minimizes our chance to retain additional or replacement staff.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing

Our consolidated financial statements as of May 31, 2009 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the year ending May 31, 2010. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. Our ability to

- 23 -

continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act related to accounting controls and procedures, or if material weaknesses or other deficiencies are discovered in our internal accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult.

If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act related to accounting controls and procedures, or, if material weaknesses or other deficiencies are discovered in our internal accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting beginning with our financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2010 and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments beginning with the financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2011. We are in the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, and we may identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and other deficiencies, including the lack of sufficient staff. If material weaknesses and deficiencies are detected, it could cause investors to lose confidence in our financial statements and result in a decline in our stock price and consequently affect our financial condition. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our Common Stock could drop significantly. In addition, we cannot be certain that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls will not be discovered in the future. Our stock price, ability to obtain financing and the listing of our common stock on the OTCBB would be adversely impacted if we fail to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures.

We have not generated significant revenue from our principal intended activities and we have been dependent on a small number of customers for substantially all of out revenue.

While our most recent quarters have reflected what we believe is the beginning of regular customer activity, as a development stage company, we have generated limited revenue principally from providing development services and generating data in field test scenarios. We have not sold sufficient quantities of mass produced semiconductors, which is the primary part of our expected revenue stream going forward. In addition, substantially all of our revenue has been from a small number of customers. It is difficult, in a market that is rapidly evolving, to evaluate the future sales performance of powerline technology, and our implementation of it. We may not successfully address any of these risks and may never have significant revenue.

We expect losses will continue for the foreseeable future. Our stock price may be affected by such losses.

In our short history, we have not reported an operating profit and do not expect to report a profit in the near future, if at all. We have experienced losses from operations since inception. Losses are likely to continue, and may cause volatility in our stock price.

Risks Related to Our Business Plans and Operations

Consumer demand may not develop as we anticipate, and our business will suffer.

The initial and primary customers of our semiconductors are expected to be OEMs of devices with uses for connectivity. OEM acceptance of powerline technology will be driven by consumer demand for home connectivity. If consumer demand does not develop as we anticipate, our products will sell slowly, or not at all, and our business will suffer.

There are several factors that may affect the expansion of the home connectivity market:

●	the emergence of competing standards for home connectivity

●	new content or products that attract a large consumer base

- 24 -

●	interoperability between different products in the same market

●	the success of marketing by OEMs

●	the cost and availability of connected products using this technology or competing technologies

We have only limited ability to influence in the resolution of the foregoing.

Powerline solutions for home connectivity may not gain acceptance.

Currently, Ethernet and Wireless technologies enjoy a large market share of the home connectivity market. As the market broadens beyond computer networking to include audio/video applications, it is unclear which medium will be predominant. Among the competing physical media, including coaxial cable, Ethernet, phone line, and wireless, many are actively supported by various trade associations that represent the interests of a variety of companies. Some have greater market acceptance. If powerline technology does not achieve market acceptance, there may be less demand or no demand at all, and our business will suffer.

Powerline technologies, other than the technologies implemented by Arkados may proliferate.

Arkados is developing products that comply with the specifications for powerline networking developed by members of the HomePlug Powerline Alliance. However, there may be other competing, independent efforts in this market. To the extent that a competing effort establishes the predominant industry standard for powerline technologies that are not based on Arkados’ chosen technologies, or, if no standard predominates in each market, our business will suffer.

Products that incorporate our chosen technologies may fail in operation, or fail to be certified by standards organizations.

Our ODM/OEM customers may produce products that fail to work properly, either as a consequence of the inclusion of our semiconductors and software, or an unrelated problem; in which case, our business may suffer. If products that incorporate our solutions fail to pass standards tests, our business will suffer.

We may be unable to sell large volumes of semiconductors.

While we plan to attract customers with plans for large numbers of products, there may be cases when significant effort results in few semiconductors sold. When a company agrees to develop products that use our solutions, and agrees to purchase our solutions in volume, we consider the agreement a “design win.” Achieving a design win does not create a binding commitment from that customer. A design win is merely an expression of interest by a customer to make volume purchases, but at any time a customer can discontinue using our solutions. To the extent that we are unable to convert design wins into volume sales, our business will suffer.

We may not be able to attract and retain engineering and technical talent.

The needs of the business coupled with capital constraints will dictate our ability to hire and retain staff, but we expect to need personnel in our technical and engineering disciplines, as well as in operational roles. Since powerline technology is a narrow engineering and technical specialty and we have limited financial resources, attracting experienced and retaining talent has and is expected to continue to be difficult. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, our ability to develop and produce our products will be limited.

Our solutions have a long development and sales cycle. We will continue to incur significant expenses before revenues are realized.

Significant company resources must be dedicated to research and development, production and sales and marketing in order to properly sell solutions into our target markets. We have and will continue incur substantial product development expenses before generating associated revenues. Customers typically spend two to nine months in testing before volume production of its own products, which incorporate our solution. Sales cycles are lengthy and produce delays between the time we incur expenses for research, development, sales and marketing efforts, and the time that we generate revenue, if any revenue is generated. If we do not generate revenue after we have incurred substantial expenses to develop and market any of our products, our business will suffer.

- 25 -

We will depend on our OEM and ODM customers to produce successful products that incorporate our solutions.

Our customers are OEMs and ODMs in our target markets. They integrate our IC’s into their products. If their products are not successful, we may not sell volume quantities of our semiconductors. OEM and ODM products may be unsuccessful for many reasons which are beyond our control. Any of these reasons may harm our business.

We will rely on third parties to fabricate, assemble and test our solutions, which may increase costs or create delays.

As a “fabless” semiconductor manufacturer, we do not own or operate a semiconductor fabrication, assembly or testing facility. We have entered into an agreement with GDA Technologies, Inc. to manage this process for us. In the future, GDA or contract foundries, and assembly and test houses selected by us may also be adversely affected for reasons beyond our control. This may result in our inability to obtain products within the time frames, volumes or costs we require, or at all. Any disruption in the availability of products, or problems associated with the delivery, quality or cost of fabrication, assembly and testing of our products may cause our business to suffer.

Our specifications may result in unacceptable manufacturing yields from our suppliers, which may increase our product costs or reduce supplies.

We write specifications and create designs and our third-party suppliers manufacture chips based on those specifications and designs. We have not yet entered into volume production of our products, and our specifications may fall short of producing volumes of semiconductors effectively and efficiently. This may cause dies on our wafers to function poorly.

The term “yield” is used to express the proportion of functional die expressed as a percentage of total die on a wafer. If expected yields are not reached, our product costs will increase. We may also experience problems when our products are scaled to smaller geometries. Problems with yield may not be identified until late in the product development cycle, or even once an end-product is built and sold. Yield problems are difficult to detect, time consuming and expensive to correct. These issues could affect our intention to deliver products to customers in a timely manner.

Defects in our products could hurt the business by harming our reputation, decreasing our market acceptance, losing customer accounts, and creating liabilities for our company.

Integrated circuits are highly complex products, and may contain defects or bugs which may not be detected until other products that incorporate our chips are shipped and being used by end-users. Defects may harm our reputation and make customers reluctant to buy our products. Correcting these defects is an expensive process. If defects are not discovered until after we have commenced commercial production of a new product, we might incur substantial additional development costs. If we fail to solve problems in time, we may incur product recall, repair or replacement costs. These problems may also result in claims against us by our customers or consumers. Any such problems could divert our company resources from other development efforts. Moreover, we would likely lose, or experience a delay in, the market acceptance of our products. We could also lose credibility with our current and prospective customers.

Regulation in certain regions of the world, which limits our international market.

Our powerline communication products are designed to operate on frequencies that are currently restricted by government regulations in certain areas of the world, Japan as an example. As a result, our semiconductors cannot be used in products used in such areas at this time. The international market will remain limited unless the existing regulations are changed or until we develop products that can operate within the constraints imposed by the existing regulations.

Future Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, regulation may restrict sales of our products adversely affecting our business.

Our powerline communication products are designed to operate on frequencies that are not currently restricted by FCC regulations. OEM products incorporating our ICs are regulated by the FCC. Operation of these products currently is not restricted by the FCC as long as the products do not interfere with other radio frequency, or RF, bands licensed by the FCC. We cannot assure you that this will continue to be the case. Should government regulations change in the future, making operation of our customers’ products at their current radio frequency bands subject to restrictive regulation, or subjecting the frequencies on which our products operate to restrictions, our customers’ desire to purchase our products could diminish and our business may suffer.

Our business is highly dependent on the expansion of the consumer digital entertainment electronics market.

We expect that the main growth in our product demand will be driven by the consumer digital entertainment electronics market. We are focusing on audio/video transmission and distribution products for the in-home use. We expect the consumer digital market to expand; however, our strategy may not be successful. Given current economic conditions in the United States and

- 26 -

internationally, as well as the large installed base of consumer electronics products, consumer spending on home electronic products may not increase as expected. In addition, the potential decline in consumer confidence and consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our success depends on our ability to introduce new products on a timely basis.

Our success depends upon our ability to develop new products for new and existing markets, to introduce these products in a timely manner, and to have these products gain market acceptance. The development of new products is highly complex and we may experience delays in developing and introducing them. Successful product development and introduction depend on a number of factors, including:

●	proper new product definition,

●	timely completion of design and testing of new products,

●	assisting our customers with integration of our components into their new products, including providing support from the concept stage through design, launch and production ramp,

●	successfully developing and implementing the software necessary to integrate our products into our customers’ products,

●	achievement of acceptable manufacturing yields,

●	availability of wafer, assembly, and test capacity,

●	market acceptance of our products and the products of our customers

●	obtaining and retaining industry certification requirements.

Although we seek to design products that have the potential to become industry standard products, we cannot assure you that the market leaders will adopt any products introduced by us, or that any products that may be initially accepted by our customers that are market leaders will become industry standard products. Both revenues and margins may be materially affected if new product introductions are delayed, or if our products are not designed into successive generations of our customers’ products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet these challenges, or adjust to changing market conditions as quickly and cost-effectively as necessary to compete successfully. Our failure to develop and introduce new products successfully could harm our business and operating results.

Successful product design and development is dependent on our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified design engineers, of which there is a limited number. Due to the complexity and variety of CMOS, precision linear, and mixed-signal circuits, the limited number of qualified circuit designers and software engineers, and the limited effectiveness of computer-aided design systems in the design of such circuits, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully develop and introduce new products on a timely basis.

Strong competition in the high-performance integrated circuit market may harm our business.

The integrated circuit industry is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change, price erosion, and design and other technological obsolescence. Because of shortened product life cycles and even shorter design-in cycles in a number of the markets that we serve, particularly consumer entertainment, our competitors have increasingly frequent opportunities to achieve design wins in next-generation systems. In the event that competitors succeed in supplanting our products, our desired market share may not be attainable and/or sustainable and net sales, gross margins, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

In powerline communications, our principal competitors include Intellon, Conexant, Maxim, DS2, Panasonic, Gigle Semiconductor, and Spidcom. In Network and Media Processors Conexant, Cirrus Logic, Micrel, Texas Instruments, Atmel, and

- 27 -

Sharp. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, technical, distribution and other resources, broader product lines, greater intellectual property rights, and longer relationships with customers than we have. We also expect intensified competition from emerging companies and from customers who develop their own integrated circuit products. In addition, some of our current and future competitors maintain their own fabrication facilities, which could benefit them in connection with cost, capacity and technical issues.

Increased competition could adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in the future or that competitive pressures will not adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Competitive pressures could reduce market acceptance of our products and result in price reductions and increases in expenses that could adversely affect our business and our financial condition.

Our products may be characterized by average selling prices (ASPs) that decline over short time periods; if we are unable to introduce new products with higher selling prices or reduce our costs, our business and operating results could be harmed.

Historically in the integrated circuit industry, average selling prices of products have decreased over time, while manufacturing costs may remain fixed. If we are unable to introduce new products with higher margins or to reduce manufacturing costs to offset anticipated decreases in the prices of our products, our operating results may be adversely affected. In addition, because of high fixed costs in our industry, we are limited in our ability to reduce total costs quickly in response to any revenue shortfalls. Because of these factors, we may experience material adverse fluctuations in our future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis.

Our products are complex and could contain defects, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims against us.

Product development in the markets we serve is becoming more focused on the integration of multiple functions on individual devices. In addition to that, powerline communication is a relatively new technology. There is a general trend towards increasingly complex products. The greater integration of functions and complexity of operations of our products increases the risk that our customers or end users could discover latent defects or subtle faults after volumes of product have been shipped. This could result in:

●	material recall and replacement costs for product warranty and support,

●	adverse impact to our customer relationships by the occurrence of significant defects,

●	delay in recognition or loss of revenues, loss of market share, or failure to achieve market acceptance, and

●	diversion of the attention of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts.

The occurrence of any of these problems could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of our products and would likely harm our business, and may result into our inability to secure a reasonable share of the market, In addition, any defects or other problems with our products could result in financial or other damages to our customers who could seek damages from us for their losses. A product liability claim brought against us, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.

We rely on independent foundries to manufacture all of our wafers.

We rely on independent foundries to manufacture all of our wafers. In order to produce our silicon, we need to secure appropriate manufacturing services and capacities. Our reliance on outside foundries involves several risks and uncertainties, including the:

●	inability to secure appropriate manufacturing services and capacities

●	possibility of an interruption or loss of manufacturing capacity

●	lack of control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing yields and costs

●	possible misappropriation of our intellectual property

- 28 -

●	inability to reduce our costs as quickly as competitors who manufacture their own products and are not bound by set prices.

Market conditions could result in wafers being in short supply and prevent us from having adequate supply to meet our customer requirements. In addition, any prolonged inability to utilize third-party foundries because of fire, natural disaster, or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If we are not able to obtain additional foundry capacity as required, our relationships with our customers would be harmed and, consequently, our sales would likely be reduced, and we may be forced to purchase wafers from higher-cost suppliers or to pay expediting charges to obtain additional supply, if we are able to acquire wafers at all.

In order to secure additional foundry capacity, we may enter into contracts that commit us to purchase specified quantities of silicon wafers over extended periods. In the future, we may not be able to secure sufficient capacity with foundries in a timely fashion or at all, and such arrangements, if any, may not be on terms favorable to us. Moreover, if we are able to secure foundry capacity, we may be obligated to utilize all of that capacity or incur penalties. These penalties may be expensive and could harm our financial results.

We will be dependent on our subcontractors to perform some of the design and key manufacturing functions for us.

We will depend on third-party subcontractors for the elements of the design, assembly, packaging, and testing of our products. International operations and sales may be subject to political and economic risks, including political instability, currency controls, exchange rate fluctuations, and changes in import/export regulations, tariff and freight rates, as well as the risks of natural disaster. Although we will seek to reduce our dependence on a limited number of subcontractors as demand for our products merits, the concentration of subcontractors and manufacturing operations in certain areas of the World could subject us to the risks of conducting business internationally, including political and economic conditions in such regions as Asia, India, etc. Disruption or termination of the assembly, packaging or testing of our products could occur, and such disruptions could harm our business and operating results. In addition, we are unable to predict whether events such as the epidemic of SARS will have a negative effect on the design, supply, testing, and packaging of our products.

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights from third-party claims and litigation.

Our success depends on our ability to obtain patents and licenses and to preserve our other intellectual property rights covering our technology, applications, products, and development and testing tools. We seek patent protection for those inventions and technologies for which we believe such protection is suitable and is likely to provide a competitive advantage to us. In some cases, patent applications have been deemed abandoned because we lacked adequate financial resources to promptly prosecute the applications. As a result of our financial condition, we have been unable to secure the services of patent counsel since June 30, 2009, and our inability to engage experienced counsel may slow the approval process or negatively affect the quality and scope of the patent applications we file. We also rely substantially on trade secrets, proprietary technology, non-disclosure and other contractual agreements, and technical measures to protect our technology, application, design, and manufacturing know-how, and work actively to foster continuing technological innovation to maintain and protect our competitive position. We cannot assure you that steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property will be adequate, that our competitors will not independently develop or patent substantially equivalent or superior technologies or be able to design around patents that we may receive, or that our intellectual property will not be misappropriated. Also, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property as much as the laws of the United States.

Potential intellectual property claims and litigation could subject us to significant liability for damages and could invalidate our proprietary rights.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Even if we receive a patent grant we would not be able to offer any assurance that it will not be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged, that rights granted under the patent will provide competitive advantages to us, or that any of our pending or future patent applications will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all. As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we expect that we and our customers may have received and may receive in the future, communications from third parties asserting patents, mask work rights, or copyrights on certain of our products and technologies. In the event third parties were to make a valid intellectual property claim and a license was not available on commercially reasonable terms, our operating results could be harmed. Litigation, which could result in substantial cost to us and diversion of our resources, may also be necessary to defend us against claimed infringement of the rights of others. An unfavorable outcome in any such suit could have an adverse effect on our future operations and/or liquidity.

- 29 -

If we are unable to make continued substantial investments in research and development, we may not be able to sell our products.

We plan significant expenditures in research and development activities to develop products and solutions. If we fail to make sufficient expenditures in research and development programs, new technologies and process improvements implemented by our competitors could render our current and planned products obsolete, and our business could be harmed. Substantially all of our operating expenses are related to research and development.

Obligation to license certain intellectual property rights.

As a member of the HomePlug Alliance, TIA TR30.1 and IEEE P1901, we are obligated to license certain intellectual property rights to our competitors, on a non-discriminatory basis, which may adversely affect our ability to compete.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock And Its Market Value

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board, and to be timely in such filings. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements or file late three times in 12 calendar months, our stock could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. This report was filed more than 30 days after its due date. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. There can be no assurance that in the future we will always be current in our reporting requirements.

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

SEC Rule 15g-9 establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

●	that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and

●	the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

●	obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

●	make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

●	sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

●	that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

- 30 -

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

The market price of our common stock may be adversely affected by several factors.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including:

●	our ability to execute our business plan;

●	operating results below expectations;

●	announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

●	loss of any strategic relationship;

●	industry developments;

●	economic and other external factors; and

●	period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our capital stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our common stock price appreciates.

A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the market price of our common stock could fall. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. Amendments to Rule 144 effective in February 2008 also substantially reduce holding periods and eliminate burdens such as filing notices sale for non-affiliated holders. The amendments to the Rule are applicable to the purchasers of securities prior to and following the effective date of the amendments

Provisions contained in outstanding secured convertible debentures provide holders a greater share in the proceeds of a cash sale or merger than the amount of the outstanding debt.

Certain provisions of the $11,051,709 principal amount outstanding 6% Secured Debentures require the redemption of such debentures and the warrants issued in connection with the sale of the debentures in the event of a cash sale of our business or cash merger that would give the debenture holders a return substantially greater than the outstanding debt and interest. Such payments would be made before cash could be distributed either to general creditors or the holders of our common stock. The sale of these debentures has been the principal source of our working capital since December 2005 and no authorization on the part of our stockholders is require for our continuing to issue these securities. Although we have sought and continue to seek equity financing to replace the sale of these securities as our primary source of working capital, we have not been able to do so and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In December 2004, Robert Dillon, William Simons and Stephen Schuster (the “Plaintiffs”) named us, our Arkados, Inc. subsidiary, Enikia, LLC, Oleg Logvinov, our CEO, Andreas Typaldos, our Chairman, and others in a lawsuit. The action is captioned Robert Dillon, et al. v. Andreas Typaldos et al. , and was commenced in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Somerset County (Docket No. C-12102-04). Plaintiffs filed an arbitration venued in New York and the hearing was scheduled for October 20, 2008 with the American Arbitration Association, Case No: 13 117 Y 00150 08. Arbitration ruled in favor of Arkados in March 2009 and the plaintiffs were ordered to reimburse Arkados for legal fees incurred in the matter.

In August, 2008 a $58,691.87 judgment was entered against the company in the matter of Porter Levay & Rose, Inc. v. Arkados Group, Inc. The case is pending in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County (Docket No. MID-L-008649-07) and involved non-payment of fees for investor relations services and expenses. Approximately $41,000 of the amount was accrued as of May 31, 2008; all remaining monies due under this matter were paid in full by the Company before May 31, 2009.

We are and may be subject to litigation from our general creditors for amounts past due for materials and services. Individually, such claims do not exceed $139,000 (the amount deemed to require disclosure in response to this item), but since as of September 30, 2009, $2,639,057 of salary remains due to our employees and our accounts payable was approximately $1,751,084, of which $1,710,084 was over 90 days old, such suits may total more than such amount at any given time. We evaluate each case on what we believe is its merits and respond by either offering settlement, offering to settle for the issuance of shares of our common stock, or raise counterclaims or defenses to the action, as we deem appropriate.

The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain and we are required under our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and employment agreements to indemnify our officers and directors for certain liabilities, including the cost of defending litigation brought against them in their capacity as such. Nevertheless, a portion of our indemnification liability is insured and shares of our common stock were escrowed at the time of the merger in which Arkados is the surviving corporation, to indemnify us against certain claims being made in the above actions.

The plan reserved 3,000,000 shares of old common stock for issuance upon the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock option until June 30, 2008 with terms up to 10 years from the dated of grant. As a result of a reverse stock split the number of shares available for grant was reduced to 60,000.

In 2004, our board approved our 2004 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and set aside 6,000,000 shares for grant pursuant to incentive and non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock awards. The 2004 Plan was amended by the board in June 2006, to increase the number of shares subject to options that can be granted to our officers, directors, employees and consultants to 10,000,000. The Plan was later amended in March 2007 and November 2008 to increase this amount to 15,000,000 and 22,500,000, respectively. The 2004 Plan has not been approved by our stockholders and accordingly, no “incentive stock options” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code can be granted until such approval is obtained. The 2004 Plan is currently administered by the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. As of May 31, 2009, there were options to purchase 19,961,797 shares outstanding under the 2004 Plan, as amended, of which 11,108,769 were vested.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Form 10-K for the period ended May 31, 2009, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports and filings attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects. The forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K speak only as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to provide updates, revisions or amendments to any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in our expectations or future events.

Plan of Operation

We are a technology solutions company engaged in research and development activities focused on the portion of the industry that provides the semiconductors and software to enable broadband communications over standard electricity lines. Arkados is member of an alliance of nearly 70 companies referred to as the HomePlug Powerline Alliance. The alliance’s mission is to enable and promote rapid availability, adoption and implementation of cost effective, interoperable and standards-based home powerline networks and products. Arkados is also a member of the IEEE P1901 working group that is focused on the standardization of powerline communication technology.

During the year ended May 31, 2009:

●

Several consumer products incorporating our chip solutions to have been brought to market by our customers in several areas of the world. Our solutions form the engine of products for the audio market being marketed by the German company devolo AG. Devolo’s audio adapters, which transmit audio over household power lines, are currently in retail stores throughout Europe.

●

We provide the underlying technology for an iPod-based whole-house audio system from IOGEAR, which is coming to market in the near future in the U.S. and other parts of the world. This product has already won a major award, having been one of only 15 products (out of over 20,000) to receive G4 Television’s CES 2008 “Best of the Best” product award.

●

Additionally, we recently announced our plans to release a reference design that will allow manufacturers to embed Arkados chip-and-software solutions into a device that enables the control of whole-house audio systems from Apple’s iPhone™ or iPod® which may allow us to take advantage of the demonstrated market strength of iPod-related products.

●	We announced customers such as audio system manufacturer Russound, powerline networking specialist GigaFast.

●

We have been involved with our customers in a number of projects relating to Broadband Over Powerline and Smart Grid trials. We have announced that our solutions are being used for Smart-grid application companies Corporate Systems Engineering and MainNet. We are currently partnering with MainNet Communications to develop applications to improve the reliability and efficiency of electrical grids, connect consumer electronic devices over power lines, enable energy-saving initiatives and deliver Broadband content to homes and offices. Based on this deal, our future opportunities to create smart grid applications may be significant.

●

We continued to increase our focus on sales and marketing and customer acquisition, after developing and demonstrating reference designs and prototypes of end-user products that incorporated our AI-1100 chip, the first in our family of ArkTIC® solutions, and demonstrated its capabilities and competitive advantages.

●

Our solutions have been displayed in a number of public venues, including the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show, where Arkados received G4 Television’s “Best of the Best” award. Other venues included Computex 2008, the 2007 HomePlug Powerline Technology Conference, the Electronic House Expo (EHX), Net-at-Home 2007, the 2007 HomePlug European Executive Seminar, and other conferences. Our prototypes or products have been publicly announced and/or demonstrated by Analog Devices, Channel Vision, devolo AG, GigaFast, GoodWay, Meiloon, PAC Electronics, Russound, Tatung, Zinwell, and Zylux. Some of these companies are suppliers to top tier brands in the marketplace. Several of these relationships, among others, have progressed into sales of chips, software development services, and other related revenue.

●

We have participated in a broad variety of public events and conferences including the 2008 CES, WinHEC, HomePlug Executive Seminars, GlobalComm, United Powerline Technology Counsel events, Computex, Digital Hollywood, Intel Developer’s Forum, HomePlug Powerline Technology Conferences, Net@Home, Parks Associates’ Connections conferences, ACCESS ’06 Executive business forum, CEDIA and CeBIT.

We continue to market our chip and reference design products to individual potential customers, including both OEMs and ODMs. Such potential customers, if they ultimately agree to design our chips into their end-user products (as is the case with OEMs) or in the products of their own OEM customers (as is the case with ODMs), could be responsible for the introduction of

- 37 -

multiple end-user products into the market, based on the timetables required for such product introductions. Such an event could produce multiple revenue streams, including revenues from each potential OEM customer that uses our chips in their end-user products. In the case of each potential ODM customer that uses our chips in the designs of the multiple OEM customers served by each ODM, there could be multiple revenue streams attributable to each ODM that chooses to work with our chips. In both cases, however, such revenue streams will affect future quarters, based on the timetable associated with the deployment of end-user products by such OEM and ODM customers. Thus far, two such ODMs and seven OEMs have publicly announced their offering of a product incorporating our AI-1100 SoC.

We have positioned ourselves to service significant demand from any major electronics or networking manufacturer. We have held discussions at various levels with household names in those industries, and we believe that many of these talks may lead to firm orders in growing quantities.

We require additional funding for the expansion of our research and development efforts and the expansion of our sales and marketing organization, and to fund consulting and manufacturing work needed in order for our chip to be ready and available for mass production. We also plan to develop various end-user product prototypes and reference designs to support our marketing efforts.

We will contract with third parties for all of our wafer fabrication and assembly, as well as for a portion of our design and testing. This “fabless” manufacturing strategy is designed to allow us to concentrate on our design strengths, minimize fixed costs and capital expenditures, access advanced manufacturing facilities, and provide flexibility on sourcing multiple leading-edge technologies through strategic alliances.

We expect to qualify each product, participate in process and package development, define and control the manufacturing process at our suppliers where possible and practicable, develop or participate in the development of test programs, and perform production testing of products in accordance with our quality management system. If possible, we plan to use multiple foundries, assembly houses, and test houses.

We have not had significant revenue from operations since inception and, as of May 31, 2009, we are still a development stage company. Furthermore, we have financed operating losses since September 2004 with the proceeds primarily from related party lending from our major stockholder and affiliated lenders, as well as other stockholders and lenders, and from a capital raise to qualified investors through a retail brokerage firm. From December 2005 to May 31, 2008, we sold an aggregate $8,428,461 of 6% secured convertible debentures due December 28, 2008 of which $6,145,884 was purchased by institutional investors and the balance of $2,282,576 by a limited liability company owned equally by our Chairman’s wife and another director, Kathryn Typaldos and $45,000 principal amount to the partners of Sommer & Schneider LLP, our principal securities counsel to settle an equivalent amount of past due legal fees. During the fiscal year 2006, we paid down a substantial portion of outstanding short term debt and other liability and have issued approximately 600,000 shares of our common stock in satisfaction of approximately $406,000 of short term liabilities. From June 1, 2008 to August 31, 2008, we received approximately $649,000 of financing which was converted into equity in August 2008. In addition, we received an additional $20,000 which represents borrowings from related parties.

As of July 6, 2009 the $1,066,500 principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due June 30, 2009 were also in default by reason on non-payment. Under the terms of the Notes, the interest rate increases to 12% during the period the Notes are in default and the holders are entitled to the costs of collection. We plan to discuss forbearance or extension of the due dates of the Notes with the holders and their representatives, but there can be no assurance that any such agreement can be reached.

- 38 -

Every aspect of our business remains constrained by our limited capital resources and the threat of having to cease operations as a result of our lack of capital.

If we are unable to raise funds to finance our working capital needs, we will not have the capital necessary for ongoing operations and for making our chip ready for mass production and we could lose professional staff necessary to develop our products and the value of our technology could be impaired. In addition, the lack of adequate funding will jeopardize our development and delivery schedule of our planned products. Such delays could in turn jeopardize relationships with our current customers, strategic partners and prospective suppliers.

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a brief discussion of the more significant accounting policies and methods used by us. In addition, Financial Reporting Release No. 67 was recently released by the SEC to require all companies to include a discussion to address, among other things, liquidity, off-balance sheet arrangements, contractual obligations and commercial commitments.

Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern despite substantial doubt as to our ability to do so. Management anticipates losses in the foreseeable future and plans to finance losses by raising additional capital. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to the carrying value of assets.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended (“SAB 101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Under the provisions of SAB 101, we recognize revenue when products are shipped, and the collection of the resulting receivable is probable. If revenues are from a long term arrangement, revenue is recognized when pre-determined milestones, which generally are related to substantial scientific or technical achievement, are accomplished.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

The computation of the expense associated with stock-based compensation requires the use of a valuation model. SFAS 123(R) is a new and very complex accounting standard, the application of which requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding Black-Scholes assumptions such as stock price volatility, expected option lives, and expected option forfeiture rates, to value equity-based compensation. We currently use a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of its stock options. We primarily use historical data to determine the assumptions to be used in the Black-Scholes model and have no reason to believe that future data is likely to differ materially from historical data. However, changes in the assumptions to reflect future stock price volatility and future stock award exercise experience could result in a change in the assumptions used to value awards in the future and may result in a material change to the fair value calculation of stock-based

- 39 -

awards. SFAS 123(R) requires the recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net income. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our estimates and assumptions, significant unanticipated changes in those estimates, interpretations and assumptions may result in recording stock option expense that may materially impact our financial statements for each respective reporting period.

Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements

The Company has reviewed the accounting for registration rights terms relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion and exercise, respectively, of the 6% Secured Convertible Debentures and related warrants under the recently adopted FSP EITF 00-19-2. The Company granted demand registration rights to the purchasers of the 6% Secured Debentures which requires the Company to file an initial registration 45 days following demand. Under the registration rights agreement, the Company incurs a penalty if it fails to file within the 45 day period or if the SEC had not declared the registration effective 90 days after filing. The holders of the 6% Secured Debentures have not demanded registration. The Company believes it can comply with a demand for registration in a timely manner and therefore no accrual for the registration rights penalties has been made.

The Year ended May 31, 2009

During the year ended May 31, 2009, we had revenues of $763,000 of revenues compared to $857,000 for the same period in 2008. Revenues were a combination of revenues from chip sales in the amount of $158,000 and revenues from service contracts in the amount of $605,000 related to the achievement of certain milestones remaining under a number of long term development contracts. We estimated gross margin from the receivable based upon cost estimates we prepared for the provision of all of the services and products in the arrangement. Total operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2009 were $5.6 million compared to $5.1 million in the same period of fiscal year 2008. In both periods, the most significant expenses were personnel, professional fees and related expenses. Research and development expenses during the year were $2.1 million. Of the total $5.6 million in operating expenses in fiscal year 2009, approximately $2,289,684 was related to the issuance of stock and stock options for services rendered by both our employees and outside consultants. In the prior year period, this amount was $856,000. Given our reliance on outside sources of capital, we expect significant additional charges relating to stock compensation.

The Year ended May 31, 2008

During the year ended May 31, 2008, we had $857,000 of revenues compared to $132,000 for the same period in 2007. Revenues were a combination of revenues from chip sales in the amount of $246,000 and revenues from service contracts in the amount of $611,000 related to the achievement of certain milestones remaining under a number of long term development contracts. The chips are to be used in audio adaptors and iPod® docking stations which were demonstrated at CES earlier this year, as well as in other applications. Total operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2008 were $5.1 million compared to total operating expenses for the same period of 2007 of $5.3 million. In both periods, the most significant expenses were personnel, professional fees and related expenses. Of the total $5.1 million in operating expenses in fiscal 2008, $866,636 was related to the issuance of stock and stock options for services rendered by both our employees and outside consultants. As result of the increase in outstanding debt, our interest expense increased during the year from $744,000 in 2007 to $2,307,000 in 2008 which includes an interest penalty related to the 6% secured debentures.

The Year ended May 31, 2007

During the year ended May 31, 2007, we had $132,000 of revenues compared to $112,000 for the same period in 2006. Revenues were a combination of revenues from chip sales in the amount of $78,000 and revenues from service contracts in the amount of $54,000 related to the achievement of certain milestones remaining under a long term development contract. The chips are to be used in an iPod® dock which was demonstrated at CES earlier this year, as well as in other applications. Total operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2007 were $5.2 million compared to total operating expenses for the same period of 2006 of $3.6 million. In both periods, the most significant expenses were personnel, professional fees and related expenses, which increased in the most recent period as we demonstrated our products and increased marketing staff and efforts. Of the total $5.3 million in operating expenses in fiscal 2007, $959,000 was related to the issuance of stock and stock options for services rendered by both our employees, Chairman and outside consultants. The incremental cost related to the Aster acquisition recognized in the 4th quarter alone was $147,000. As result of the increase in outstanding debt, our interest expense increased during the year from $465,000 in 2006 to $744,000 in 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal source of operating capital has been provided in the form of equity investments and, the private placement of debt securities coupled with warrants and related party loans. We do not have any significant sources of revenue from our operations.

- 40 -

No assurance can be given that we can engage in any public or private sales of our equity or debt securities to raise working capital. We have depended, in part, upon loans from our present stockholders or management and there can be no assurances that our present stockholders or management will make any additional loans to us.

During the year ended May 31, 2009, we were able to raise $810,000 through a private placement of our stock and warrants to accredited investors. As of the year ended May 31, 2008, we had cash of approximately $24,000 and negative working capital of $8,433,334 compared to cash of $24,000 and negative working capital of $15,988,337 at May 31, 2008. The decrease in working capital is related primarily to the increase in payables and accrued payroll balances. Subsequent to May 31, 2008, we received approximately $649,000 which was converted into equity in August 2008. In addition, we received an additional $20,000 which represents borrowings from related parties. All of these funds were used to support normal operating activities.

Our present material commitments are the compensation of our employees, including our executive officers, and professional and administrative fees and expenses associated with the preparation of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory requirements.

During the year ended May 31, 2008, we were able to raise gross proceeds of $855,000 from the sale of convertible notes and warrants to accredited investors. In addition, borrowings of $125,000 from outside investors and $177,700 from our Chairman. The net cash provided from these financing activities exceeded the amount of cash consumed by operations during the period by approximately $381,438.

As described under “Plan of Operations,” we are in default on secured debt, unsecured notes, obligations to employees and substantially all of our accounts payable are over 90 days past due. These conditions make raising capital in any form extremely difficult. We have negotiated with each class of creditors and believe that our outstanding debt can be settled on terms that will be acceptable to possible individual investors and strategic investors, but there are no binding agreements or commitments in this regard. While we have been able to finance a small portion of our critical cash requirements by selling bridge notes, there is no assurance that such sales will continue or that sufficient funds are raised in this manner to permit us to operate and timely execute our plans for restructuring debt and raising capital.

As of May 31, 2009, we had cash of approximately $10,000 and negative working capital of $(17,585,050) compared to cash of $24,000 and negative working capital of $(14,657,105)at May 31, 2008.

Commitments

We do not have any commitments which are required to be disclosed in tabular form as of May 31, 2009.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Arkados Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Arkados Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years ended May 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and for the period March 24, 2004 (inception) to May 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements for the period March 24, 2004 (inception) to May 31, 2004 reflect total revenues and a net loss of $0 and $693,833, respectively, of the cumulative totals. The other auditors’ report has been furnished to us in our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for such period, is based solely on the report of such other auditors.

We conducted our audit 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years ended May 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and for the period March 24, 2004 (inception) to May 31, 2009 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Arkados Group, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and will have to obtain additional capital to sustain operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Arkados Group, Inc. & Subsidiaries (A Development Stage Enterprise)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED MAY 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Arkados Group, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to an “Agreement and Plan of Merger”, (“the Merger Agreement”) dated May 7, 2004 and consummated on May 24, 2004, merged a wholly owned subsidiary, CDK Merger Corp., with Miletos, Inc. (the “Merger”). CDK Merger Corp. was renamed “Arkados, Inc.” On August 30, 2006 the Company changed its name from CDKNET.COM, Inc. to Arkados Group, Inc. All references to CDKNET.COM, Inc. have been changed accordingly. Since Arkados Group, Inc. and subsidiaries prior to May 7, 2004 had no meaningful operations, this merger has been recorded as a reorganization of Arkados, Inc. via a reverse merger with Arkados Group, Inc.

The Company, a development stage enterprise, is a fabless semiconductor company providing integrated system-on-chip solutions that directly support networking, smart grid and multimedia applications. Arkados, “the HomePlug Applications Company,” delivers a universal platform that enables the effortless networking of home entertainment and computer devices using standard electricity lines. We also license some ingredient technologies for wireless multimedia solutions. The Company’s system-on-chip solutions are uniquely designed to drive a wide variety of powerline-communication solutions such as utility company applications, and powerline-enabled consumer electronics and home computing products, such as stereo components, radios, speakers, MP3 players, computers, televisions, gaming consoles, security cameras and cable and DSL modems. With Arkados’ solutions, customers can bring numerous sophisticated, full-featured products to market faster at a lower overall development cost using a single platform: the company’s versatile and programmable ArkTIC® platform. Arkados solutions leverage the benefits of standard powerline communications technologies that are used worldwide for in-building and to-the-home Broadband Powerline (“BPL”) applications. The Company is a member of an industry alliance of several companies referred to as the HomePlug Powerline Alliance, “HomePlug”, for developing the standard of such technologies and is a member of the IEEE P1901 working group.

Miletos, Inc. was a newly established entity, which acquired the assets and business of Enikia, LLC in a public foreclosure sale on March 23, 2004 in exchange for the forgiveness of $4,000,000 of secured debt and the assumption of certain outstanding liabilities. The assets and certain liabilities acquired at the foreclosure sale have been recorded at historical cost basis. The new entity, Miletos, Inc. was predominately owned by a controlled group, which was the same controlled group of Enikia, LLC and the same group became majority holders.

The accompanying financials have been presented on a development stage basis using March 24, 2004 as the date of inception.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the consideration for the merger consisted of 16,340,577 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (250,000 of such common shares were contingent shares and were returned for cancellation as they were not called upon as a result of a breach of a warranty or representation) and 3,634,642 stock options at prices ranging from $.01 to $1.20 per share. In addition $950,200 was raised through the sale of equity for working capital of the Company.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $31 million since inception including a net loss of over $7 million for the recent year ended May 31, 2009. Additionally, the Company had a net working capital deficiency and shareholders’ deficiencies at May 31, 20087 and 2009, and negative cash flow from operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management expects to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future and recognizes the need to raise capital to remain viable. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

F-7

b.	Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arkados Group, Inc. (the “Parent”), and it’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business combinations - We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting which requires that the assets and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Because of the expertise required to value intangible assets and intellectual property research and development “IPR&D”, we typically engage a third party valuation firm to assist management in determining those values. Valuation of intangible assets and IPR&D entails significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to: determining the timing and expected costs to complete projects, estimating future cash flows from product sales, and developing appropriate discount rates and probability rates by project. We believe that the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected by incurring charges to our statements of operations. Additionally, estimates for purchase price allocations may change as subsequent information becomes available.

d.	Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers investments in highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

e.	Allowance for doubtful accounts - The Company records a bad debt expense / allowance based on management’s estimate of uncollectible accounts. The Company has not recorded any bad debt expense in each of the years ended May 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Equipment - Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Equipment is being depreciated over a period of seven years. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations as incurred, whereas the cost of significant betterments is capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gains or losses are reflected in operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews long-lived assets, certain identifiable assets and goodwill related to those assets on a quarterly basis for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. To the extent there has been any impairment such impairment has been record in the statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value. The Company can not estimate the fair value of the remaining outstanding payroll taxes, penalties and interest recorded in connection with the merger.

Revenue Recognition - The Company derives revenues from two sources – sales of products and revenues related to service and custom development activities. For product sales, revenue is recognized when our products are shipped to our customers. Shipping documents and the completion of any customer acceptance requirements, when applicable, are used to verify product delivery or that services have been rendered. Shipping costs are charged to cost of sales as incurred. For sales related to development, the Company recorded revenues pursuant to a number of term development contracts. The revenues are earned and recorded are based on pre-determined milestones. When revenues within a pre-determined milestone have been partially earned, the Company records such progress billings as “Revenues earned not yet billed.” Such revenues are billable under the terms of the arrangement once the milestone has been fully completed. The Company also monitors estimated costs to complete such long term contract to the revenues to be earned to ensure that if there is an estimated loss to record to complete their obligation to fulfill the terms of such development contract, such loss existed. As of May 31, 2008, there were no long term contracts for which revenues were yet to be earned outstanding.

F-8

j.	Shipping and Handling Costs - Shipping and handling costs are normally FOB the Company’s factory. These costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Inventory and Reserves – Inventories are stated on a first-in first-out basis at the lower of cost or market value. Cost includes fabricated wafers, purchased integrated circuits, subcontractor costs (such as assembly and test). Any write-down of inventory to reduce carrying value to lower of cost or market value is charged to cost of sales.

l.	Advertising Costs - All advertising costs, are expensed as incurred. The Company has not had any advertising costs in each of the last two years.

Loss Per Share - Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the years ended May 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the inclusion of approximately 23, 15 and 13 million stock options and warrants, respectively, and as well as 23, 24 and 9 million shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible indebtedness, respectively, would be anti-dilutive.

n.	Stock Options – The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments.” SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards and applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards.

In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rate, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if the Company reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.

In accordance with SFAS 123R, the fair value of each option grant has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The Company has recorded compensation expense for the years ended May 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, in the amounts of $1,860,279 $866,636, and $958,918, respectively attributed to the issuance and vesting of common shares, stock options and warrants for services. Such amount is included general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

	For Years Ended May 31
	2009	2008	2007
Risk free interest rate	2.13%-3.49%	2.05%-4.14%	5.00%
Expected life	5 years	2-5 years	4 years
Dividend rate	0.00%	0.00%	0.00%
Expected volatility	64%-239%	65%-99%	43%

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-9

Comprehensive Income - SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, comprising net income and other non-owner changes in equity, in the financial statements. For all periods presented, comprehensive income was the same as net income.

Research and Development – Research and Development expenses principally consist of costs surrounding the development of our ArkTIC® chip-and-software platform. This includes labor and equipment related to intellectual property development, manufacturing and development of test platforms, software development systems, certification testing systems, customer application support, licensing of appropriate technologies. Some development expenses are paid to outside consultants who perform work that is delivered to us. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

r.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements -

In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued EITF Issue No. 08-4, “Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5 “(“EITF No. 08-4”)”. The objective of EITF No. 08-4 is to provide transition guidance for conforming changes made to EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, that result from EITF No. 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Issue is effective for financial statements issued for

F-10

fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF No. 08-4 on the accounting for the convertible notes and related warrants transactions.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement”). (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, “ Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In March of 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” – An Amendment of FASB’s Statement No. 133, which expands the disclosure requirements in Statement 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting SFAS No. 161 will have on its financial position, cash flows, and statements of operations.

F-11

In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 141(R) will impact the Company in the event of any future acquisition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment to ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its non-controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

7.	PAYROLL TAX LIABILITIES

Enikia was in arrears for several years in its payment of federal and state payroll taxes.

10% Convertible Notes - During the period from March 18, 2005 to May 12, 2005, the Company issued $750,000 of 10% convertible extendable notes initially due June 8, 2005 (the “10% Notes”). The due date of the 10% Notes was extended at the Company’s option to September 8, 2005 by the Company’s payment of an extension fee aggregating $20,000 for the entire issue and paying interest due on the 10% Notes to June 8, 2005. The Company paid $37,500 of principal with related interest on September 18, 2005 in full payment of two of the outstanding notes and obtained the extension of the $712,500 then remaining notes by paying an additional sum of $20,000 and issuing 85,000 shares of common stock to the remaining holders of the 10% Notes. An expense of $76,500 was recorded related to the issuance of the 85,000 shares of common stock, using a share price of $.90.

Principal and accrued interest on the 10% Notes are convertible at the holders’ option into shares of the Company’s common stock only after an event of

F-16

default, as defined in the Notes at the lower of $0.67 or the average closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the ten trading days preceding conversion. The conversion right is limited in that it may not be exercised by a holder to the extent it would result in such holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. The 10% Notes were issued with 825,000 of three year common stock warrant exercisable for $0.67 per share in the basis of one warrant for each $1 of principal.

2005 6% Convertible Notes - During the quarters ended August 31, 2005 and November 30, 2005, the Company raised $912,500 and $154,000, respectively, of gross proceeds from the private placement of an aggregate of 10.665 units (the “Units”) each consisting of $100,000 principal amount 6% convertible subordinated promissory notes (the “6% Notes”) and 14,286 detached warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase a like number of shares of the Company’s common stock, for $0.35 per share. The Company issued an aggregate of 152,359 Warrants to the purchasers of the Units, which have been valued at $74,802 and have been amortized as interest expense over the term of the 6% Notes. In addition, the Company issued 238,213 common stock warrants exercisable at $0.65 as part compensation to the placement agent, which have been valued at $111,668 and will be amortized as interest expense along with other expenses of the offering. Both the $0.35 and $0.65 Warrants have a “net exercise” provision that permits the holder to convert the Warrants into shares of the Company’s common stock. The 6% Notes (1) are due July 7, 2007 with interest at the annual rate of 6% from the date of original issuance (increasing to 12% per annum from an event of default as defined in the 6% Notes); (2) are unsecured obligations of the Company and subordinated to senior secured loans to the Company (if any) from banks, finance companies and similar institutions that extend credit in the regular cause of such institution’s business; (3) are convertible, subject to certain conditions and at two different price levels ($1.125 and $1.575 for a period of twenty trading days following the bid price of common stock closing above $1.50 and $2.50, respectively, for a period of five consecutive trading days), into shares of common stock; and (4) may be redeemed by the Company in certain limited circumstances described below prior to maturity. Since the beneficial conversion feature of the 6% Notes is (at the lowest price) at a price greater than the market price of the stock upon issuance of the 6% Notes, no value has been estimated or recorded for the beneficial conversion feature.

On July 6, 2007, the Company reached an agreement with more that the requisite holders of 2/3 of the outstanding $1,066,500 principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due July 7, 2007 to extend the due date of the Notes to June 30, 2008.

On July 9, 2008, Arkados Group Inc. (the “Company”) reached an agreement with more that the requisite holders of 2/3 of the outstanding $1,066,500 principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due June 30, 2008 to extend the due date of the Notes to June 30, 2009. In exchange for the amendment, the Company agreed to exchange approximately 876,100 shares of common stock, pro rata, for notes in the original principal amount of $306,618.

Conversion of Debt and Waiver

3.	The due date of the debentures is extended six months to June 28, 2009, and will be extended another six months to December 28, 2009 if the Company raised equity financing, in the aggregated of more than $2,000,000 by the maturity date of the debentures, as amended.

4.	Interest due on the debentures will be added to principal until maturity.

5.	The holders of the Debentures and Warrants waive the right of first refusal and any anti-dilution adjustments with respect to Company financing of up to $3,000,000 at no less than $0.25 per share and 50% warrant coverage completed on or before October 31, 2008.

These advances were due on demand with interest at the annual rate of 6% and $225,000 was paid on January 10, 2006. See subsequent event for conversion of the remaining balance into shares of the Company’s common stock with the holders.

6% Secured Debentures - On December 19, 2005, the Company borrowed $267,900 from one of the accredited investors that ultimately purchased 6% secured convertible debentures (the “6% Secured Debentures”) in the December 28, 2005 financing. The loan was made on an unsecured basis, was due on demand and was forgiven in exchange for $267,900 of the $2.0 million principal amount of the 6% Secured Debentures and related warrants. On December 28, 2005, the Company issued $2.0 million aggregate principal amount and authorized $3.5 million 6% Secured Debentures to three institutional investors. The 6% Secured Debentures have a term of three years and mature on December 28, 2008, pay interest at the rate of 6% per annum, initially payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year beginning July 1, 2006, and are secured by a grant of a security interest into substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company may elect to pay interest on the 6% Secured Debentures in cash or in shares of common stock, subject to certain conditions related to the market for such shares stock and the registration of the shares issuable upon conversion of the 6% Secured Debentures under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The 6% Secured Debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.85 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. If, after the effective date of the registration statement we agreed to file under the Securities Act (the “Registration”), the closing price for the Company’s common stock exceeds $1.70 for any 20 consecutive trading days, The Company may, within one trading day after the end of such period, require the holders of the 6% Secured Debentures to immediately convert all or part of the then outstanding principal amount of their 6% Secured Debentures. The terms of the conversion rights also contain certain dilution provisions.

The short term warrants are exercisable at any time prior to the earlier of December 28, 2007 (subsequently changed to December 28, 2010) or twelve months after the effective date of the Registration Statement. If no effective registration statement is obtained after one year then such warrants have a cashless exercise option feature.

The transaction documents relating to the 6% Secured Debentures issued in December 2005 contained a covenant that the Company would obtain the conversion of an aggregate of $746,600 principal and related interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at or above $0.67 per share on or before January 15, 2006. On February 1, 2006, as part of the sale of an additional $375,884 of the 6% Secured Debentures described above, the Company and the holders of all outstanding 6% Debentures agreed to modify the covenant to permit the Company to issue 604,956 shares of common stock and pay $405,744 in full satisfaction of such outstanding principal and interest concurrently with the additional investment and waived prior defaults.

On December 15, 2007, this related party debt was converted to additional principal of the 6% Secured Debentures on substantially the same terms as the 6% Secured Debentures previously issued by the Company.

The material changes were made, at the Company’s request, to facilitate the possible private placement of equity securities included:

·	waiver of defaults which could have occurred as a result of the Company failing to make an interest payment of approximately $230,000 on January 1, 2008 until the earlier of an equity financing or March 3, 2008;

·	deferral of any request on the part of the holders of the 6% Secured Debentures, to require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act within 45 days of the request until April 15, 2008;

The Company also agreed to amend the 10,065,210 warrants outstanding and issued with the then outstanding 6% Secured Debentures to be consistent with the 804,706 new warrants issued December 15, 2007 by extending the expiration date from an outside date of December 28, 2010 to December 28, 2012 and removing any restriction on exercising the warrants on a cashless basis or any provision which accelerates the expiration date if the shares issuable on exercise of the warrants are registered for resale under the Securities Act.

Additional Financing

From June 1, 2008 to August 31, 2008, we completed an additional $50,000 of financing which was converted into equity in August 2008.

On August 7, 2008, we issued 1,690,080 units each consisting of two shares of our common stock and one warrant to 18 accredited investors for aggregate consideration of $845,038.47. Of this consideration, $762,593.66 was cash or cash advances incurred after April 15, 2008 and the balance was in exchange for prior obligations for borrowed money and other accounts payable. The warrants are exercisable until June 30. 2013 and entitle the holder to acquire one additional share of our common stock for $0.25 per share. We issued the shares of common stock and warrants in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D, Section 4(2) and 4(11) of the Act for privately placed securities issued to accredited investors. No broker dealer was engaged for the offering and we did not pay any commissions in connection with the sale of these securities.

During the 3rd quarter of 2008, a deferred expense was recorded in the amount of $774,789 for the extension of the expiration date of the warrants to December 28, 2012.

Pursuant to the Waiver and Amendment, the Holders agreed to waive all potential defaults caused by our not making a scheduled interest payment of approximately $255,000 which became due under the terms of the Debentures, as previously amended on March 3, 2008. The Holders agreed to add the interest due to principal and make such a waiver in exchange for the Company issuing additional Debentures equal to 10% of the principal amount of the Debentures held by the Holders (after adding the past due interest to principal).

On May 24, 2004, the merger was consummated between a wholly owned subsidiary of CDKNET.com, Inc (CDK Merger Corp) and Miletos, Inc. The successor subsidiary was renamed Arkados, Inc. Because CDKNET.com, Inc and its subsidiaries had no meaningful operations prior to May 7, 2004 and equity ownership in CDKNET.com, Inc. in an amount greater than 50% was issued to the shareholders of Miletos, Inc., this transaction has been recorded as a reorganization of Arkados, Inc. via a reverse merger with CDKNET.com, Inc.

In May 2004, prior to the consummation of the aforementioned reverse merger, the Company; (a) issued 200,000 common shares for services rendered by several individuals valued at $1.50 a share and were expensed prior to the consummation of the aforementioned reverse merger, (b) converted $150,834 of indebtedness owed to a law firm affiliated with the former CEO for 150,000 shares of common stock, (c) converted $165,000 of convertible debentures and related accrued of $51,539 for 549,866 shares of common stock.

The $59,800 of services rendered was recorded as a cost of raising such equity.

The 883,334 shares issued, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement relating to the aforementioned equity raise, have certain registration rights. In addition, such shareholders are entitled to liquidated damages, if a registration statement, registering such shares, is not filed within 90 days of June 1, 2004 or if the registration statement is not declared effective until 120 days after June 1, 2004, or 180 days if such registration statement is subject to review by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such liquidated damages are calculated monthly based on the delayed days of such registration not being effective. Such calculation is 2% per month of the purchase price paid by such shareholders for the 883,333 shares purchased limited to an aggregate of 18% of the aggregate purchase price paid for the 883,333 shares purchased. The Company accrued $190,800 in penalties for the failure to register such shares issued.

13.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

A.- Events of Default

On July 2, 2009 we received notice from a law firm representing approximately 45% of our outstanding 6% secured convertible debentures due June 28, 2009 (the “Debentures”) were in default by reason of non-payment. This event triggers an “Event of Default” under the terms of the Debentures on July 8, 2009, absent payment in full. The Event of Default entitles the holders of the Debentures to redemption at the rate of 130%of the principal and accrued interest outstanding, interest on unpaid interest and principal at the rate of 18% per annum commencing on July 8, 2009 and reimbursement for expenses incurred enforcing the obligations.

We have been negotiating for an infusion of equity capital, restructuring of our secured and unsecured debt and the holders of the Debentures have indicated that they are inclined to work with the company in this regard. The holders of the Debentures have delivered a draft forbearance agreement and we expect to negotiate such a forbearance agreement that would give us up to 90 days to work on these matters, subject to the negotiation and execution of a final forbearance agreement acceptable to us and the holders of all of the outstanding Debentures. Although there can be no assurance that the forbearance, financing or restructuring of our debt can be achieved, we continue to work closely with representatives of the holders of the Debentures to maintain the company as an ongoing business, which includes preserving the company’s current operations and relationships with existing customers, partners and suppliers.

As of July 6, 2009 the $1,066,500 principal amount of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) due June 30, 2009 were also in default by reason on non-payment. Under the terms of the Notes, the interest rate increases to 12% during the period the Notes are in default and the holders are entitled to the costs of collection. We plan to discuss forbearance or extension of the due dates of the Notes with the holders and their representatives, but there can be no assurance that any such agreement can be reached.

B.- Lease Renewal

On June 30, 2009, we entered into a First Amendment to our lease dated May 2, 2006 with Bridgeview Plaza Associates relating to our principal executive offices located at 220 Old New Brunswick Road, Piscataway, New Jersey. The First Amendment is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report. We agreed to extend the lease term until July 1, 2014, the landlord excused us from paying the installment of base rent applicable to the month of July, 2009 and applied the security deposit of $27,225.00 to $33,495.10 of past due rent and charges and we agreed to the following base rent schedule:

Lease Period	Annual Base Rent	Monthly Base Rent

Months 1 -12	$103,669.50	$8,639.13
Month 13	-0-	-0-
Months 14-24	$106,779.59	$8,898.30

Months 37 - 48	$113,282.46	$9,440.21
Months 49 - 60	$116,680.94	$9,723.42

In addition, we agreed to pay all arrearages and deliver a security deposit of $27,225 to landlord by July 31, 2009. We failed to make these payments and on August 31, 2009, the landlord took further legal action against us.

On September 14, 2009 we entered into a Second Amendment to our lease dated May 2, 2006 with Bridgeview Plaza Associates. The Second Amendment is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report. Under the Second Amendment, we paid the landlord $40,000 of $52,375.51 then past due and agreed to pay the balance of the arrearages by September 30, 2009, curing existing defaults.

C.- Bridge Financing

On September 22, 2009 we entered into an agreement for bridge financing with Burton LaSalle Capital Corp.. Pursuant to the agreement, we may issue up to $1,000,000 8% Subordinated Notes due January 31, 2010 to Burton LaSalle Capital Corp. and other investors. Pursuant to the notes, interest is due at the annual rate of 8% is due on the earlier of the exchange or conversion of the notes into shares of common stock of the company or the notes become due on January 31, 2010 or earlier upon acceleration because of a default.

F-32

A form of note and related subscription letter are filed as Exhibit 99.3 and 99.4, respectively, to this Report. As of October 1, 2009, Burton LaSalle had loaned us the sum of $161,350 and we issued several notes to Button LaSalle in equivalent amount. The principal amount of the notes is exchangeable at the option of the holders into private equity financing we are able to place at a 33% discount to the price charge to other investors. In the event we are able to effectuate a recapitalization and the price to new equity investors is less than $200,000 per 1% of the post recapitalized company, we may force such conversion. The can be no assurance that additional investors will purchase more notes, that Burton LaSalle will purchase more notes or that any aspects of a recapitalization or equity financing can be consummated.

D.- Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 21, 2009, our trading symbol on the OTCBB was changed from AKDS to AKDSE because of our failure to file our Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2009. In accordance with FINRA Rule 6530, our stock will no longer be quoted on the OTCBB unless we file the Form 10-K by October 16, 2009, the expiration of the grace period under the rule. While we are making an effort to file the Form 10-K Report to maintain these quotations, there can be no assurance that we will be successful. In addition, the maintenance of quotations will be dependent on our reports timely going forward including our filing the Form 10-Q for the period ended August 31, 2009 and other reports timely on or before October 14, 2009, or be deemed to have filed as of that date as a result of our compliance with Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A(T) 9A(T).

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In performing its audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements for Fiscal 2009, our independent auditors, Sherb & Co., LLP “Sherb”, notified our Board of Directors of a material weakness in internal controls under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions and material weaknesses involve matters coming to the attention of our auditors relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that, in their judgment, could adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the consolidated financial statements.

A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of May 31, 2009, we did not maintain effective controls related to transactional accounting and financial reporting and reported these findings in our Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended May 31, 2009. These deficiencies included a lack of timely and sufficient financial statement account reconciliation and analysis and lack of sufficient support resources within the accounting and finance department. Management believes that such control deficiencies represented a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that resulted in a reasonable likelihood that a material misstatement in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected by our employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

During the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2008 we hired a full time financial executive who became Chief Financial Officer in October 2008 and undertook to remedy the deficiencies noted in the prior years audit. He was to prepare our accounting systems to comply with the management reporting and audit requirements with respect to internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley applicable to us for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2009. As noted below, our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures permitted management to conclude that such controls were effective as of May 31, 2009. Due to its small size and limited financial resources, the Company’s CFO, since there is only one other part time employee involved in accounting and financial reporting. Currently, there is limited segregation of duties within the accounting function, leaving most aspects of financial control and physical control of cash in the hands of the essentially one employee. The CFO is currently working to put in place compensating levels of controls to provide for greater segregation of duties. The implementing of these controls is largely dependent on the Company being able to obtain sufficient funding to adequately staff the desired functions. This assessment should not be considered a report on efficiency of such controls as would be required under Section 404 of SOX in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2009.

We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13(a)-15(e). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. As of May 31, 2009, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting beginning with our financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2009 and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments beginning with the financial statements for the year ending May 31, 2010. We are in the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, and we may identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and other deficiencies, including the lack of sufficient staff.

As a result of the identification of a material weakness described above, we have implemented the following changes:

·	We have hired a full time financial executive in October 2008, who was appointed Chief Financial Officer in October 2008 and a part time accounting assistant.

·	Began the implementation of formalized policies, procedures and process documentation

Although we have implemented the measures described above and believe they are effective, we have not evaluated such controls against any standard, such as the framework provided by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and expect that such documentation and testing will take significant time and effort. We expect to make additional changes to our controls as we continue to prepare to comply with the management reporting requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. We recognize that “tone at the top” is a key element to an organization’s control environment and are focused and committed to providing the correct tone and structure within the company. We cannot assure you that we will not in the future identify further deficiencies in our controls. However, we plan to continue to review and make any necessary changes to the overall design of our control environment in order to enhance our corporate governance and reporting practices.

Other than those described above, there have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1)	Mr. Logvinov earned a $65.333 bonus in fiscal 2008. $349, 958 of Mr. Logvinov’s 2008 earned salary and bonus was deferred at May 31, 2008.

$91,875 of deferred salary payments from 2004 through 2006 were paid in fiscal 2007. This payment was a consequence of our raising an aggregate of $3 million of financing since June 2004, pursuant to our May 2004 employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, $91,875 of deferred salary payments for the period from May 2004 to January 2006 representing 24.5% of his agreed salary for such period. At May 31, 2009, Mr. Logvinov was owed $587,458 of deferred salary and $8,108 of business related expenses.

Mr. Logvinov was granted 920,000 two year options on 5/24/08 with an exercise price of $0.01; these options were granted to replace expiring options in the same amount and same exercise price.

Mr. Logvinov was also granted 500,000 seven year options on 2/28/08 with an exercise price of $0.225; these options vest over three years with one-third vesting on each of 2/27/09, 2/27/10 and 2/27/11.

In February 2009 the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Director’s elected to cancel certain underwater

- 48 -

options that had been granted to employees. A total of 8,438,184 options with exercise prices ranging from $0.25 to $1.20 were cancelled and new options totaling 75% of the total of the cancelled options (6,328,638 options) were issued to employees with an exercise price of $0.15, the closing price on February 6, 2009. To determine the stock compensation expense of this transaction, the Company, in accordance with FASB 123R, measured the Black Scholes value of the cancelled option as at the date of grant against the Black Scholes value of the newly issued options on the date of grant.

As a result of this measurement, no additional stock compensation expense was required to be recorded on the new options. The amortized value of the cancelled options of the cancelled options, $888,384, will be amortized over the two year vesting period of the newly issued options. As 50 % of the options were vested on the date of grant, $444,192 of stock compensation expense was recorded in the quarter ended February 28, 2009.

Mr. Logvinov elected to cancel 2,560,000 of his options under the above plan and to receive 1,920,000 options priced at $0.15, the closing price on the date of grant. As a result of the measurement completed on the overall employee stock option cancellation and reissuance, no additional compensation expense was recorded or attributed to this grant.

(2)	Ms. Kane-Burke joined Arkados in January 2007. $99,250 of Ms. Kane-Burke’s 2008 earned salary and bonus was deferred at May 31, 2008

Stock Option Plans

Our current policy is that all full time key employees are considered annually for the possible grant of stock options, depending upon employee performance. The criteria for the awards are experience, uniqueness of contribution to our business and the level of performance shown during the year. Stock options are intended to generate greater loyalty and help make each employee aware of the importance of their business success of the Company.

In February 2009 the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Director’s elected to cancel certain underwater options that had been granted to employees. A total of 8,438,184 options with exercise prices ranging from $0.25 to $1.20 were cancelled and new options totaling 75% of the total of the cancelled options (6,328,638 options) were issued to employees with an exercise price of $0.15, the closing rice on February 6, 2009, the date of. To determine the stock compensation expense of this transaction, the Company, in accordance with FASB 123R, measured the Black Scholes value of the cancelled option as at the date of grant against the Black Scholes value of the newly issued options on the date of grant.

As of May 31, 2009, 19,961,797 options to purchase shares of our Common Stock were outstanding under various option plans. During 2009, including the February 2009 option grants to replace underwater options, we granted 14,642,600 options to purchase shares of our Common Stock to employees, directors and consultants.

A summary of the various established stock option plans is as follows:

2004 Plan. Our 2004 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, (“The 2004 Plan”) is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The Compensation Committee will designate the persons to receive options, the number of shares subject to the options and the terms of the options, including the option price and the duration of each option, subject to certain limitations. All stock options grants during 2007 were made from the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan also permits the issuance of restricted stock which is subject to vesting and forfeiture at such times, amounts and conditions as is determined by the Compensation Committee.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2004 Plan, as amended, is 22,500,000 shares. Each plan is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, mergers, consolidations and the like. Common Stock subject to options granted under the 2004 Plan that expire or terminate will again be available for options to be issued under each Plan.

The option price is payable in cash or by check or under cashless exercise provision determined by the Compensation Committee.

In the absence of a contrary provision in option agreements adopted by the Compensation Committee, under the 2004 Plan, upon termination of an optionee’s employment or consultancy, all options held by such optionee will terminate, except that any option that was exercisable on the date employment or consultancy terminated may, to the extent then exercisable, be exercised within three months thereafter (or six months thereafter if the termination is the result of permanent and total disability of the holder), and except such three month period may be extended by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. If an optionee dies while he is an employee or a consultant or during such three-month period, the option may be exercised within six months after death by the decedent’s estate or his legatees or distributees, but only to the extent exercisable at the time of death.

The 2004 Plan provides that outstanding options shall vest and become immediately exercisable in the event consolidation, merger or acquisition of stock, the result of which our stockholders will own less than 50% of the voting power of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company or the sale of substantially all of our assets and the options are not assumed by the surviving company. In such event, the holder will have 15 days to exercise the option and options will terminate on the expiration of such fifteen day period.
