Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

We, Newmark Investment Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“Newmark”), and Carbon Strategic Pte Ltd, a corporation organized under the laws of Singapore (“Carbon Strategic”), executed and delivered a Share Purchase Agreement on October 2, 2012 (the “SPA”).  The SPA was closed on October 8, 2012.  Pursuant to the SPA: (i) we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Carbon Strategic, in consideration of the issuance of 94,130,440 shares of our common stock comprised of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Rule 144 defined “restricted securities”; (ii) subject to the closing and the reservation of $190,579.31 to pay or compromise $190,579.31 of our agreed upon outstanding liabilities at the closing from a $700,000 cash payment made by Newmark under the SPA, which had been deposited in the trust account of our  legal counsel; Mark L. Meriwether, our then sole director and executive officer, was paid $150,000 and 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, also comprised of Rule 144 “restricted securities,” in payment of a Termination of Employment Agreement Fee; and $500,000 ($309,420, after deducting the funds reserved for payment of these liabilities) for entering into a two (2) year Consulting Agreement with the Company; (iii) the name of the Company was to remain “Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc.,” and our common stock was required to be quoted on the OTCBB as a condition of the closing; (iv) Mr. Meriwether was responsible for paying Dr. John Bates, our former Chief Technical Officer, the sum of $10,000 for the Company’s purchase of Dr. Bates’ interest in Oak Ridge Micro-Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Oak Ridge Nevada”), and then 90% owned subsidiary of the Company into which all of our thin-film battery technology was conveyed on or about November 8, 2011, when Dr. Bates acquired his 10% interest in Oak Ridge Nevada in exchange for 818,898 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Dr. Bates that were subsequently cancelled by us (see our Company’s 8-K Current Report dated November 8, 2011, and filed with the SEC on such date, and which is incorporated herein by reference); the acquisition of Dr. Bates’ interest in Oak Ridge Nevada was a condition of the closing and was completed prior to the closing; (v) Mr. Meriwether resigned as our President, Treasurer and the Secretary on the closing, while remaining on our Board of Directors, and Jeffrey John Flood, the Managing Director of Carbon Strategic, was elected to serve on our Board of Directors and to the positions of our President, Secretary and Treasurer; and (vi) Mr. Flood was to execute a one (1) year Employment Agreement with the Company at a salary to be determined.  As of the date of this Current Report, no Employment Agreement has been executed by Mr. Flood , and no compensation for Mr. Flood’s expected services to us has been negotiated or agreed upon.

The SPA contained customary and usual representations and warranties of the parties, along with various covenants to be observed and conditions to the obligations of each to close the SPA.

A copy of the SPA was attached to the our Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 2, 2012, and filed with the SEC on October 9, 2012, and which is incorporated herein by reference.  Copies of Mr. Meriwether’s Termination of Employment Fee Agreement and his Consulting Agreement were attached to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated October 2, 2012, and filed with the SEC on October 12, 2012, and which are also incorporated herein by reference.  See Item 9.01.  The foregoing summary of the SPA and the summaries of Mr. Meriwether’s Termination of Employment Fee Agreement and his Consulting Agreement, the terms and conditions of which are discussed below under the heading “Meriwether Agreements,” are modified in their entirety by such references.

Carbon Strategic specializes in designing and developing project models for sustainable forest development and forest conservation through biodiversity, REDD (“Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation”) carbon mechanisms, sustainable forestry practices, carbon origination for renewable energy projects and strategic solutions for sustainable practices in this industry.  See the caption “Business” of Item 5.01 below.

Accounting Treatment of the SPA

A transaction like the SPA whereby a majority of our voting shares were issued to Newmark and its designees is accounted for as a “reverse” acquisition.  Although the SPA was structured such that Carbon Strategic became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, Carbon Strategic has been treated as the acquiring company for accounting purposes under Accounting Standards Codification 805-40, Reverse Acquisitions, due to the following factors: (i) Carbon Strategic’s stockholder received the larger share of the voting rights under the SPA (approximately 94%); (ii) Newmark, the sole stockholder of Carbon Strategic, received equal representation on the Board of Directors of the Company by the SPA’s requirement that Mr. Flood be elected to the Board of Directors; and (iii) Carbon Strategic’s senior management prior to the SPA (Mr. Flood) holds all senior management positions in the Company post-SPA. Mr. Flood was the Managing Director of Carbon Strategic prior to the closing of the SPA.

Meriwether Agreements

Meriwether Termination of Employment Fee Agreement

Section 10.10 of the SPA specified that Mr. Meriwether would be paid $150,000 and be issued 3,000,000 shares of our common stock comprised of Rule 144 defined “restricted securities; he was granted “piggy-back” registration rights on these 3,000,000 shares, subject to pro rata cut backs under SEC Rule 415.  In consideration of the cash and stock consideration, Mr. Meriwether terminated all employment agreements to which he and we were party; and resigned as our President, Secretary and Treasurer.  The Termination of Employment Fee Agreement was executed and delivered with the closing of the SPA and contained these terms.  Mr. Meriwether has been paid this sum and issued these shares.

Meriwether Consulting Agreement

Section 10.10 of the SPA also specified that Mr. Meriwether would enter into a two (2) year Consulting Agreement, which Consulting Agreement was also executed and delivered with the closing of the SPA.  Under the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Meriwether was to be paid $500,000, less all of our outstanding liabilities amounting to $190,579.31 at closing, which included the payment of legal, accounting, Edgar and XBRL fees related to the preparation and filing of our 10-Q Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2012; and Mr. Meriwether was also required to pay the $10,000 to Dr. Bates for his 10% interest in Oak Ridge Nevada, which is discussed above under the heading “Entry into Material Definitive Agreement” of this Item 1.01.  That resulted in a net payment to Mr. Meriwether or his designees at the closing of $299,420 under the Consulting Agreement.  Further, if Mr. Meriwether compromises any of these liabilities for less than the sum recorded in our books and records, Mr. Meriwether is entitled to the difference resulting from any such compromise.  Mr. Meriwether’s fees paid under the Consulting Agreement were non-refundable.  The Consulting Agreement provides for services by Mr. Meriwether in connection with the transition resulting from the change in control following the closing of the SPA, including services related to knowledge, information or introduction regarding all contracts, customers and suppliers, and to

3

the extent of his knowledge and experience, services related to our thin-film battery technology.   All services are to be rendered in Salt Lake City, Utah; if travel is required, Mr. Meriwether will be reimbursed for all expenses.  Mr. Meriwether is an independent contractor under the Consulting Agreement, responsible for all taxes of any kind resulting from fees received under the Consulting Agreement; and he is subject to strict confidentiality provisions respecting our confidential or proprietary data, intellectual property information or techniques, suppliers, contacts, customers or employees or otherwise.

General Information on Forests and Climate Change

Forests, through the process of photosynthesis, remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as biomass. This process is referred to as carbon sequestration.  The rate of carbon sequestration is related to the rate of tree growth and is dependent on many factors, including the tree species, rainfall, access to moisture, movement in the soil and soil conditions.  The accumulative effect of carbon sequestration in forests is responsible for them functioning as carbon “sinks.”

The tropical forests of the world today cover approximately 1.5 billion hectares (sometimes referred to herein as “Ha”) (one Ha comprises approximately 2.7 acres), of which approximately 13 million are lost annually.  Tropical rainforests are the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. The virgin rainforests of our planet are home to approximately 60% of all the biological diversity on Earth.  Forests are essential to the well-being of the world’s poorest societies. More than 1.6 billion people depend, to varying degrees, on forests for their livelihoods, such as for fuel, medicinal plants and food.  Of these, about 60 million indigenous people depend entirely on forests.

Rainforest clearing represents the world’s third greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for up to 20% of greenhouse gas emissions globally, meaning that about 5.8 billion tonnes or metric tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) are being released into the atmosphere each year by rainforest destruction.

Climate change has rapidly changed our view on the value of forest ecosystems.  Existing forests are now considered valuable ecological infrastructure, vital to global efforts to prevent climate change.

REDD – Reduced Emissions from forest Degradation and deforestation

REDD is a financial and carbon trading mechanism that creates an incentive for developing countries to protect, better manage and wisely use their forest resources, contributing to the global fight against climate change.  REDD strategies aim to make forests more valuable standing than they would be cut down, by creating a financial value for the carbon stored in trees.

Forests that under a Business As Usual (“BAU”) development scenario or plan are “threatened” or would have been deforested or degraded are eligible for REDD Carbon Project Development.  Threats include planned and illegal deforestation for timber supply, clearing for agriculture and urban growth.

Forest ecologists calculate the amount of carbon that would have been emitted into the atmosphere under this BAU scenario.  Once approved, the REDD project is awarded the number of carbon credits equaling this emission calculation for sale onto the global carbon markets.  These credits are issued in relatively equal tranches over the 20 to 30 year duration of the REDD project.  Under generally accepted international standards, a certain proportion of these issued credits are reserved to cover any incidents that reduce the carbon value of the forest during the REDD project’s duration. These reserved credits are intermittently released, approximately every five (5) years, and may be sold onto the carbon market.

5

The primary objective of REDD projects is to reduce greenhouse gases.  However, REDD projects can deliver “co-benefits” such as biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods for impoverished forest owners and inhabitants.  REDD projects that deliver such co-benefits are termed REDD+. The funds received from carbon credits sales are to be used to protect the forest and achieve sustainable development outcomes for communities in the REDD project area and region.

Carbon Strategic is a carbon origination and trading company with the following portfolio of REDD Carbon projects:

·

Papua New Guinea

o

22 projects with Traditional Land Owner Communities totaling 18,321,317 hectares.

·

The Republic of Indonesia

o

8 projects with three provincial governments and five Kabupaten governments totaling 3,872,858 hectares.

These REDD Carbon projects are not listed on Carbon Strategic’s balance sheet as the efforts to obtain the underlying contracts were the result of the services of Carbon Strategic’s management.  Carbon Strategic believes that the REDD Carbon Credits that may accrue as a result of its project contracts have substantial value, based upon appraisals it has obtained; however, there is no current established trading market for REDD Carbon Credits, and these REDD Carbon Credits will not accrue to Carbon Strategic if and until it completes the REDD Project Development Process outlined below, of which it is presently at Stage 5 of the 9 items of this process.  No assurance can be given as to the value these REDD Carbon Credits will realize to the benefit of the Company or its stockholders, if and when this process is complete.  Carbon Strategic’s balance sheet currently reflects a stockholders’ deficit.

Carbon Strategic, as the REDD Carbon project developer, has the following roles and responsibilities:

·

Identify suitable project areas and forest owners (government and community) with which to work with as their exclusive REDD Carbon Project Development Partner to conserve the forest through a REDD project.

·

Work with the forest owners to prepare an appropriate Forest Management Plan to protect the forest for the project lifetime (20 to 30 or more years).

·

Prepare all technical, financial and legal documentation necessary for the development and registration of the REDD Carbon project.

·

Secure project financing to prepare documentation to quantify the amount of green house gas emissions that have been avoided from being released into the atmosphere as a direct result of the conservation of the forest to create the REDD Carbon Credits.

·

Manage the commercialization of the project through the sale or trade of the REDD Carbon Credits.

·

Work with the forest owners to establish structures and systems for the management of the proceeds of the REDD Carbon Credit trades or sales.  Funds are invested into sustainable development initiatives and for project maintenance.

·

Manage ongoing REDD project operations for the term of the project (usually 30 years).

Carbon Strategic Papua New Guinea REDD Carbon Credit Projects

Contracts were signed with 22 local indigenous or traditional communities over the period March 26, 2008, to March 7, 2011.

Over this period, two versions of our Service Agreement were utilized.  In November, 2009, a decision was made to add further clauses to the original Service Agreement to provide more detailed information for any party reading the contract.

The original Service Agreement (“OSA”) and the updated Service Agreement (“USA”) vary in the following ways:

·

Recitals: The USA included two additional recitals to provide a more detailed description of the purpose of the REDD Carbon project and the definition of a REDD Carbon project.

6

·

Section 3: A clause was added to provide more detail on the funds management procedures in the event that a forward trade of the projects carbon credits was achieved.

·

Sections 5 and 6: More detail was provided on how Carbon Strategic will develop and monetise the REDD Carbon project.

·

Section 7: A clause was added to be more specific on how the REDD Carbon Credits will be used to form a risk management buffer to protect the project in the event of a natural or man made threat to the forest asset.

·

Section 15: The OSA had a term whereby the client could terminate the OSA in the event that Carbon Strategic could not sell more than 30% of the REDD Carbon Credits issued from the project and available for trading in the first year.  In 2008, the carbon market was in its infancy and this was a concern for most clients.  However, by 2009, it was evident that this was not a risk to the project and this clause was removed.

·

Section 23: The USA provided more detail on the rights of Carbon Strategic under the Power of Attorney provided by the client with respect to developing and monetising the project.

The Table at the end of each Form of contract sets forth the full list of contracted projects in Papua New Guinea and delineates the clients that signed under the OSA and USA.  Forms of each of these two contract templates were attached to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated October 2, 2012, and filed with the SEC on October 12, 2012, and which are also incorporated herein by reference.  See Item 9.01.

Carbon Strategic Indonesian REDD Carbon Credit Projects

Contracts were signed with eight projects with three provincial governments and five Kabupaten governments over the period April 27, 2009, to November 15, 2010.  During this period, two versions of the Service Agreement were utilized.

In January, 2010, a decision was made to modify the original Service Agreement (“OSA”) to provide more detailed information for any party reading the contract and to be more specific in its reference to forestry regulations.  A new law firm was engaged to prepare the updated Service Agreement (“USA”), using the OSA as a guide.

Although the material difference in the terms of the obligations and commercial opportunities for Carbon Strategic between the OSA and USA contracts were minor, the extensive formatting changes made to the OSA and other additions and removals from the OSA dictate that the contracts in Indonesia should be considered as two separate groups.

The Table at the end of each Form of contract sets forth the full list of contracted projects in Indonesia and delineates the clients that signed under the OSA and USA.  Forms of each of these two contract templates were attached to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated October 2, 2012, and filed with the SEC on October 12, 2012, and which are also incorporated herein by reference.  See Item 9.01.

REDD Project Development Process

1.

Introduction and Service Agreement: Identify suitable project areas and forest owners (government and community) with which to work with as their exclusive REDD Carbon Project Development Partner to conserve the forest through a REDD project.

2.

Feasibility: Assessments of the likely emission reductions resulting from the project (additionality), potential for mitigated emission sources shifting to a different area (leakage) and the likelihood of the emission reductions being permanent (permanence).  The outputs of technical feasibility assessments target our four main criteria for a feasible project: scientific, operational, financial and political feasibility.  From this, Carbon Strategic is able to then make an informed decision on investment in future development.

3.

Preliminary ground-truthing field survey: Establish initial project parameters, such as: the current condition of the forest, drivers of greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation or peatland areas where there is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation, check project boundaries and verify forest cover classifications and tree population density.  Spatial boundaries of the project can be finalized by drawing upon a large in-house database of spatial planning data for regions throughout Indonesia.  Collection of initial ground parameter data is needed for reliable and informed project planning and development.

7

4.

Consents: Local and forest communities are at the core of every REDD+ project. Their active inclusion, approval and participation in the project are critical.  Inclusion and approval of the project by local communities is not an activity, it must be a focus.  Work with local partner organizations with whom to implement a process of free, prior and informed consent (“FPIC”).

5.

Baseline (business as usual) greenhouse gas emissions: These are the changes in carbon stock and/or emissions that would be expected to occur if there were no project intervention or mitigation activities implemented by the client or project proponent.  Given this knowledge, specific greenhouse gas emission mitigation projects can be identified and developed.  Once these projects, such as a REDD project or a reforestation project, have been identified, it is possible to model the likely impact that the project will have in terms of its ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

6.

Biomass survey: This stage involves the ground-level measurement of above and below-ground biomass existing inside a project area.  This includes direct measurements of forest parameters such as: tree heights, diameters, canopy sizes and species identifications.  Current best practices in biomass surveys normally always involve direct field measurement on the ground and high resolution photography aerial surveys.  A digital mosaic of the forest can be created and provide a basis for biomass estimates across the entire forest area.  The aim of this stage is to calculate the entire above and below-ground biomass of the project area using data gathered from the forest area.

7.

Final baseline determination: The incorporation of biomass data from the field into the original initial baseline estimation. Biomass data is converted into a carbon equivalent (metric tons of carbon).  The baseline BAU scenario considers the likely changes in above and below ground land use over time, including the likelihood of forest loss and/or drainage of peat wetlands.  By combining data from the field with the baseline scenario, a reliable estimation of actual carbon emissions can be calculated.  From this, the corresponding impact of the project can be reported in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases prevented from being released, and thus the number of likely carbon credits that can be achieved as a result of the project

8.

Assessment of conservation value of forest: High conservation value forest (“HCVF”) is a term from the Forest Stewardship Council (“FSC”).  It is a forest management designation often used in the forestry sector to describe forests meeting certain criteria defined by the FSC principles and criteria of forest stewardship.  HCVF areas have the following attributes:

·

Forest areas containing globally, regionally or nationally significant: concentrations of biodiversity values and/or large landscape-level forests where viable populations of most if not all naturally occurring species exist in natural patterns of distribution and abundance;

·

Forest areas that are in or contain rare, threatened or endangered ecosystems;

·

Forest areas that provide basic services of nature in critical situations; and

·

Forest areas fundamental to meeting basic needs of local communities and/or critical to local communities’ traditional cultural identity.

Assessing the presence of these areas within project areas is an important and critical step for REDD projects.  Projects wishing to qualify for the climate, community and biodiversity alliance standards are required to report on the HCVF status of their project areas.

9.

Project design documentation: The draft project design document (“PDD”) is prepared for submission to an international standards body such as:

·

Voluntary Carbon Standard (“VCS”);

·

Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance (“CCBA”); and

·

The Clean Development Mechanism (“CDM”).

PDDs can be seen as the comprehensive final report introducing a project to the carbon market, investors, donors and governments.  Normally, these reports cover aspects of project planning, forest management and detail the GHG emission reductions resulting from the project, including the methodological calculations used.

Carbon Strategic has reached Stage 5 of the project development process for all of its REDD Carbon projects.

General Risks

Carbon Strategic’s methodology for REDD project development allocates risk and liability to the party best able to bear and manage that risk or accept liability. The development philosophy is based on guarantying to the greatest extent possible, Carbon Strategic from risk.

The first key building block is that Carbon Strategic does not take a proprietary or beneficial interest in the forest land.  This means that Carbon Strategic is not exposed to any statutory or common law (dependent on jurisdiction) liabilities that are attached to land ownership.

The forest project is implemented through a contractual structure executed between Carbon Strategic and the “owner” of the land subject to the forest project.  The forest owner may have the equivalent of private title to the forest or hold the forest under a crown interest.  Carbon Strategic’s role is limited to that of project developer and sponsor.  The forest owner’s portion of the proceeds of carbon credit sales is to be deposited into a project trust account (“PTA”) managed by an independent trustee.

REDD Carbon Credit Developmental Risks

Globally, the REDD project methodology is in its infancy. While a number of projects have been developed and commercialized, there is a risk that international and project country regulatory requirements may change and markets for REDD Carbon Credits may not evolve as we anticipate.  These risks are shared by all participants in the forest project.

REDD Carbon Credit Sovereign Risks

REDD projects are typically undertaken in jurisdictions with less evolved legal systems where sovereign intervention is a risk.  The form of any sovereign intervention is uncertain.  The forest project mitigates this risk by holding funds off-shore until application in the project development process.  The impact of any sovereign intervention on the forest project is shared by all parties.

REDD Carbon Credit Fraud Risks

In any trading scheme there is the risk of fraud.  The Carbon Strategic methodology manages fraud through independent monitoring, multiparty (forest owner, independent trustee and Carbon Strategic) representation on all approval committees and allocation of the first loss from any financial consequence to the forest owner.

Carbon Strategic is not exposed to risk from:

·

Land ownership – this remains with the forest owners.

·

Implementation of the sustainable investment scheme, which is undertaken by the forest owners.

Carbon Strategic has limited exposure to:

·

Destruction of the forest that is not covered by insurance or of a magnitude that imperils the forest project.  Exposure is limited to financial loss.

·

Collapse of the forest project, which exposure is limited to financial loss other than if Carbon Strategic is held to have committed fraud or negligence.

Carbon Strategic is exposed to:

·

Reputational risk as promoter and developer of the forest project.

·

Total economic loss if the forest project development costs are incurred and no carbon forward sales occur.

·

Sovereign Risk.

See Item 1.01, including the heading “SPA Capitalization Tables.”

9

The shares issued to Newmark (92,000,000) and its designees (2,130,440) under the SPA were issued in reliance on Regulation S of the SEC.  Each of the recipients of these securities was a non-“U.S. Person” as that term is defined in SEC Rule 902(k).

The shares issued to Mr. Meriwether were issued in reliance on the registration exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in a private placement not involving a public offering.  Mr. Meriwether is an “accredited investor” and one of our directors; he was also the President, Secretary and Treasurer of our Company on the closing of the SPA and had served in those capacities for many years.

BUSINESS

We are presently engaged in two lines of business in two separate and distinct industries, (i) the licensing, further development and marketing of our thin-film battery technology; and (ii) REDD Carbon Credit forestry projects.  We anticipate that we will create a website for our businesses in the near future.

Thin-Film Batteries

We license thin-film, solid-state batteries for industrial, government, and medical applications. Our thin-film battery is rechargeable, lithium-based, and the active battery layers are significantly thinner than common plastic wrap. Our

10

batteries are intended for applications such as wireless smart sensors that operate in harsh environments, security cards, radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tags, semiconductor non-volatile memory chips and implantable medical devices.  Once commercialized, we believe the small size of this new battery technology will greatly improve existing products and enable the development of many new products requiring micro-power. Our fully packaged cells on ceramic substrates are 0.024 of an inch (0.62 mm) thick.

Thin-film rechargeable lithium and lithium-ion batteries in which the component layers are less than 5 micrometers (0.0002 inches) thick were developed by Dr. John B. Bates and his team of scientists and engineers from more than a decade of research at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”). Dr. John B. Bates retired from ORNL and became our Chief Technology Officer, an executive officer and a member of our Board of Directors, serving in various capacities from 2002 until 2009.  Dr. Bates’ expertise is still available to us on a consulting basis, depending on his time constraints.  The U. S. Department of Energy released the technology for commercialization through their licensing agent, UT Battelle LLC.  We were one of a number of non-exclusive licensees of this technology, but are no longer a licensee of ORNL and have focused on licensing our own technology.  Under the ORNL Licensing Agreement, the batteries were required to be substantially manufactured in the United States, unless a waiver was obtained. There was also the possibility of exportation limitations to certain countries.  We have not determined whether those types of limitations are applicable to our thin-film battery technology; however, generally, the United States prohibits certain technology from being exported to a number of countries, including, but not limited to countries where the export of the technology would not otherwise be in furtherance of world peace and the security and foreign policy of the United States.   Based upon this policy, our thin-film battery technology could be subject to some exportation limitations.

Unlike conventional batteries, thin-film batteries can be deposited directly onto chips or chip packages in any shape or size, and when fabricated on plastics or thin metal foils, the batteries are quite flexible. Some of the unique properties of thin-film batteries that distinguish them from conventional batteries include:

·

all solid state construction;

·

can be deep cycled thousands of times;

·

can be operated at high and low temperatures (tests have been conducted between -20 degrees C and 160 degrees C);

·

can be made in any shape or size;

·

cost does not increase with reduction in size; and

·

safe under all operating conditions.

Thin-film lithium-ion batteries have the additional advantage of being unaffected by heating to over 280 degrees Centigrade (“C”).  Many integrated circuits or IC’s are assembled by the solder reflow or surface mount process, in which all of the electronic components are soldered on the board at the same time by heating to temperatures as high as 280 degrees C for a few minutes.  Conventional batteries, such as coin or button cells, contain organic liquid electrolytes that cannot survive such temperatures, and therefore must be added to the circuits as a separate component, often manually.

In the past, we have manufactured in limited quantities lithium-ion batteries (model ORLI.0.5CL). Batteries have been delivered to a variety of potential customers who desired samples to evaluate for integration into their products. With our limited capital resources, we have been seeking a relationship with a third party manufacturing or licensing partner who will be able to scale up our manufacturing process and produce larger numbers of batteries for high-volume markets or companies who are interested in licensing our technology and integrating it into their product lines or developing new applications which require our unique patented technology in micro-power and high-power applications.  During this period of time and since 2008, we have been attempting to license our thin-film battery technology for various uses and purposes, without success.  We have been unable to raise the funding we believed

11

was necessary to commercialize our technology because of the economic downturn in the United States and across much of the world that has substantially affected not only fund raising, but spending by businesses that could have benefited from our technology.  We believe our recent acquisition of Carbon Strategic will further our interests and business prospects and provide us with access to additional funding that may enable us to commercialize our technology in micro-power and some high-power uses.

In 2008, we believed we had completed our research stage and were entering the next stage in which we would focus our energy and resources on marketing and licensing the thin-film battery technology covered by our various patents, patents pending and proprietary information to suitable licensees across all industries.  Despite substantial efforts in attempting to license our technology, we have not been successful in obtaining any licensing arrangements or joint venture arrangement to further the development of this technology; however, following a long period of negotiations, we acquired Carbon Strategic Pte Ltd. (“Carbon Strategic”) in October, 2012, which had a substantial interest in the further development and licensing of our thin-film battery technology, and which has funded our $350,000 re-purchase of the laboratory equipment from Planar Energy Devices, Inc. (“Planar”) on October 31, 2012, that we sold to Planar in 2008 and that we used in our thin-film battery technology research and development.  See our 8-K Current Report dated October 31, 2012, and filed with the SEC on November 6, 2012, and which is incorporated herein by reference.  We intend to utilize this and other equipment anticipated to be acquired to further develop the manufacturing process of our thin-film batteries and to increase the licensing or joint venture prospects of commercializing our technology for micro-power needs and other high-power needs.  On November 18, 2012, we also leased facilities in Melbourne, Florida, the city where the equipment acquired from Planar is presently located; these leased facilities will house office, laboratory and storage facilities for our further thin-film research and development.  See our 8-K Current Report dated November 18, 2012, and filed with the SEC on November 21, 2012, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

We also have and continue to be in contact with several large-scale, multinational companies that have expressed interest in our thin-film battery technology and other uses of this technology in devices or products that require a high-power source.

In addition to issued and pending patents, we have numerous proprietary trade secrets in thin-film battery technology related to battery construction and thin-film processing.  Our licensing discussions have been difficult to conclude with licensing agreements or joint venture development agreements because all interested parties wanted access to all of our thin-film battery technology, including our proprietary information.  We have been reluctant to provide this disclosure without written agreements outlining the parties’ intentions and obligations, in addition to confidentiality agreements.  We believe that a pre-trial Memorandum Decision and Order in September, 2009, in an unreported case in United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division, will provide us with guidelines for greater protection of our technology disclosures under these types of situations in the future.  In the particular case, the court concluded that a Research Agreement between the parties protected all confidential information provided from the time that it was disclosed, regardless of the fact that there was an “integration” clause in the Research Agreement that was claimed to have superseded the prior Confidentiality Agreement between the parties.  In addition, the defendant in the case had used the confidential information for a completely separate matter not covered by the Research Agreement, which we deemed to be of significance.  The case was settled in mid-2012 prior to trial for a very substantial amount, and the defendant in that case was one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world; we believe these circumstances will help us protect our technology from third party development and uses not included in the initial understandings and agreements between us and those with whom we contract where the party using the confidential information benefits from the confidential information by the development of other valuable technology.  We also believe that following the guidelines in this Memorandum Decision and Order in future discussions about our technology will allow for greater protection of our technology and proprietary trade secrets and benefits derived from other uses, and may result in positive results in both licensing and joint venture discussions.

Principal Products or Services and Their Markets

Thin-film lithium and lithium-ion batteries are ideally suited for a variety of applications where a small power source is needed. They can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, as required by the customer. By using the available space within a device, the battery can provide the required power while occupying otherwise wasted space and adding negligible mass.

12

The range of possible applications of these batteries derives from their important advantages as compared to conventional battery technologies. They can be made in virtually any shape and size to meet the requirements of each application. The batteries are rechargeable, which means their size needs to be no larger than required to satisfy the energy requirements on a single cycle, thus reducing cost and weight, which in itself may give birth to new applications.

We believe that numerous new applications will become apparent continually.  At this point, anticipated uses include, among others:

·

diagnostic wafers for the semiconductor industry;

·

wireless sensors;

·

active radio frequency identification tags;

·

non-volatile memory backup; and

·

implantable medical devices.

Detailed Market Applications

As a consequence of their ultra thin profile, low thermal mass and their ability to operate in harsh environments, thin-film batteries are uniquely suited as power sources for wireless semiconductor processing diagnostic wafers.  Thin-film lithium batteries will eventually power wireless sensors smaller than the size of a dime that can detect biological or chemical contaminants, movement and pressure, and transmit this information to a local receiver.

Two decades ago, bar code technology revolutionized the way goods and merchandise were identified, priced and inventoried.  However, bar code technology is limited in its application by the need for an unobstructed line-of-sight or physical contact between the bar code and the reader.  Radio frequency identification eliminates this limitation. Active tags would contain circuitry that enables them to radio their location to a central receiver that would sort out the information as needed.  Some tags require a very thin battery to power the devices contained within it.

Non-volatile static random access memory is used in numerous products such as computers, time keeping chips and flash memory.  When the active power of a device with static random access memory is turned off, it is necessary to have a backup source of energy in order to retain memory in the chips.  Because of the very low leakage currents of the complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor transistors that make up the memory, only small batteries are necessary to retain the memory during periods when the device is removed from active power, such as might occur in a power outage.  Presently, non-rechargeable coin cells are used to backup non-volatile static access memory, but because they are not rechargeable and are produced in standard minimum sizes, the battery often dominates the size of the static random access memory package.  Since thin-film batteries have a very long cycle life, a thin-film battery many times smaller than a coin cell can be used as a backup power source.  Also, only solid-state thin-film lithium-ion batteries can withstand the high temperatures required for solder reflow assembly, allowing them to be integrated into circuits along with the other components.  Conventional coin cells must be added by hand. Thin-film batteries can also be deposited directly onto memory chips or chip packages, reducing the volume they occupy even further.

Because of their construction, small size and long cycle life, thin-film batteries are ideally suited for implantable medical devices such as neural stimulators, smart pacemakers and wireless diagnostic systems.

Distribution Methods of the Products or Services

Our improvements to our patented and proprietary thin-film battery portfolio has readied our technology for manufacturing and product integration into many applications (see the heading “Principal Products or Services and Their Markets”), among many others, though we have had little funds to market and advertise licenses and have

13

been unsuccessful in licensing our technology to date.  We believe the United States and world economy during the past five years has hindered us in these activities.  Although we believe that licensing our technology is the most cost effective and profitable method of penetrating the markets for our technology, for which we could receive royalty payments, we intend to conduct further research and development of our manufacturing process with the equipment we have recently acquired and other equipment we may acquire.  Years of discussions within the industry has given us a long list of potential companies and contacts who may benefit from our technology and we are actively pursuing our current contact list to discuss potential license agreements or joint venture development agreements as available funds allow.

Competitive Business Conditions and Smaller Reporting Company’s Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

We believe there are six U.S. companies that have licenses for manufacturing thin-film batteries using the Department of Energy’s ORNL technology, based upon ORNL’s Partnerships Newsletter, Issue I, 2011, and, except as indicated below, all of which should be considered to be our competitors:

Infinite Power Solutions, Inc. (Littleton, CO); Front Edge Technology, Inc. (Baldwin Park, CA); Cymbet Corporation (Minneapolis, MN); Teledyne Electronic Technologies (Newport Beach, CA); Excellatron (Atlanta, GA); and Planar Energy Devices, Inc. (FL). The worldwide market for thin-film batteries may become quite large, and we view these other licensees as allies in promoting the value of thin-film batteries in the early years, whereas all licensees may become more competitive in later years. The other licensees began their businesses in 1998 or later. Some are better capitalized than we are; and some have greater manufacturing capacity at this point.  Some are focused solely on developing batteries, while others are diversified.  We believe, based upon our recent acquisition of equipment from Planar Energy Devices, Inc. on October 31, 2012, that Planar is no longer engaged in the development of thin-film battery technology; we also believe that it had been formed or funded by ORNL, based upon information provided to us previously by Planar.  

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers

Raw materials and manufacturing equipment for our thin-film battery technology are readily available from numerous sources in the United States.  

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

Presently, our business is not dependent upon one or a few major customers.  We have prospects for licensing of our technology and parties that have expressed an interest in developing our technology for current intended uses and other high-power uses; however, we do not have any customers at this time.

Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services

The United States prohibits certain technology from being exported to a number of countries, including, but not limited to countries where the export of the technology would not otherwise be in furtherance of world peace and the security and foreign policy of the United States.   Based upon this policy, our thin-film battery technology could be subject to some exportation limitations.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business

Exchange Act

We are subject to the following regulations of the Exchange Act and applicable securities laws, rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act by the SEC.  Compliance with these requirements of the Exchange Act increases our legal and accounting costs.

Smaller Reporting Company

We are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the SEC, as a “smaller reporting company.”  That designation will relieve us of some of the informational requirements of Regulation S-K.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or “JOBS Act.”  As long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not an “emerging growth company,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and exemptions from the requirements of holding an annual nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and seeking nonbinding stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.  We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” prior to such time if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenue, more than $700 million in

15

market value of our common stock is held by non-“affiliates” or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

Sarbanes/Oxley Act

Except for the limitations excluded by the JOBS Act discussed under the preceding heading “Emerging Growth Company,” we are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Sarbanes/Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence.  It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act will substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.

Exchange Act Reporting Requirements

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act like we are to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A.  Matters submitted to shareholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our shareholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A (where proxies are solicited) or 14C (where consents in writing to the action have already been received or anticipated to be received) of Regulation 14, as applicable; and preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our shareholders.

We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years

We have not incurred any research and development expenses during our past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010.

Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

We believe there are no environmental compliance issues regarding our thin-film battery technology or our present and anticipated business operations.

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees

We currently have one full-time employee, Jeffrey John Flood, our President, CEO, Secretary and Treasurer, who also serves on our Board of Directors; however, we intend to assemble a team of knowledgeable persons to further design the processes and mechanisms for commercial scale manufacturing of our thin-film batteries.

Reports to Security Holders

You may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may also find all of the reports or registration statements that we have filed electronically with the SEC at its Internet site at www.sec.gov.  Please call the SEC at 1-202-551-8090 for further information on this or other Public Reference Rooms.  Our SEC reports and registration statements are also available from commercial document retrieval services, such as CCH Washington Service Bureau, whose telephone number is 1-800-955-0219.

Carbon Strategic

In addition to the information presented below, see Item 2.01 above for a general description of the business done and intended to be done by us through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Carbon Strategic, and the present status and development of Carbon Strategic’s REDD Carbon Credit projects.  Our REDD Carbon Credit projects will continue to require additional funding; and we believe that sources for required funding of our current projects and to complete their development will be available to us through equity or debt financing from private and public sources. According to the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, based at Duke University, Working Paper, NI WP 11-01, February 2011, citing the World Bank, State and Trends of the Carbon Market, 2012, Washington, D. C., “Six countries -Australia, France, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States - pledged $3.5 billion of fast-start support for REDD+2F3 for the period 2010 to 2012.  Since then, additional countries have joined, including the European Union, Germany, Slovenia, and Spain, bringing total fast-start pledges for REDD+ to over $4.5 billion.” We believe this trend will continue as the focus on climate change grows; however, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in obtaining any such funding or private funding on acceptable terms or that our projects will be successful.

We also expect to continue to obtain Service Agreements in our current areas of REDD Carbon Credit development, and in other areas, in the future.  We will principally focus on projects that have the lowest risks and the highest potential returns.  See Item 2.01 above for information about what we believe are general related risks of these projects.

Principal Products or Services and Their Markets

We have no products and our services comprise the development of carbon origination and REDD Carbon Credit marketing and sales.  Our REDD Carbon Credit projects have not yet been awarded any carbon credits; we are at stage 5 (of stages 1 through 9) of our REDD Project Development Process outlined in Item 2.01 above.  If and when we are awarded any REDD Carbon Credits from our projects, it will follow an extensive process by which we will be required to submit documentation to an independent international standard body; once our documentation and submissions are independently audited, verified and accepted, a project is issued carbon credits in almost equal tranches each year of the 30 year duration of the project.  Our projects are contracted for 20 years.  This process is achieved through internationally recognized standard bodies such as Verified Carbon Standard (“VCS”), which is the most widely used greenhouse gas verification program in the global voluntary carbon market, according to its website.  It goes on to say “More than 800 projects around the world have used VCS to curb more than 92 million tones of GHG emissions.  For each tonne, a credit known as a Verified Carbon Unit (“VCUs”) can be issued and permanently listed on the central VCS Project Database.”  Whoever owns the forests that are the subject of the projects or whoever has contractually agreed to own the carbon credits awarded owns them; we have the power of attorney to control and market the REDD Carbon Credits on behalf of these owners in our projects.

Presently, there is no established trading market for REDD Carbon Credits; however, the potential market is worldwide.  On November 19, 2012, The Associated Press reported in the Salt Lake Tribune published in Salt Lake City, Utah, that the State of California had sold out its first pollution permits as part of a landmark offensive against greenhouse gas emissions at its inaugural auction.  As reported, each of the 23.1 million permits allowed for the release of one ton of carbon, and sold for $10.09 per permit, according to the California Air Resources Board. California continues to champion market-based measures in the United States through its Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32 [AB 32]), which required California to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.  Though only 8% of all carbon offsets can come from REDD Carbon Credits in the California plan, carbon credit market participants believe the California actions could increase demand for REDD Carbon Credits to more than three to five times these amounts in the United States markets.

We believe that REDD Carbon Credits will be fungible and tradeable worldwide.

United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (“UNFCCC”) has indicated that REDD Carbon Credits will be an important component of its post-2012 emissions trading proposals, though it is not anticipated that this will occur until 2015.

17

Generally, we believe these markets will include institutional, governmental, investment traders, corporations in these carbon emission industries and public investors.  In the recent California auction, it was reported that approximately 97% of the permits sold were purchased by companies regulated under the California program and three percent were purchased by financial traders.

Distribution Methods of the Products or Services

See the heading “Principal Products or Services and Their Markets” of this Item directly above.  We are in the process of developing a plan for the distribution and sale of any REDD Carbon Credits awarded our projects once we have completed all development stages of our REDD Carbon Credit projects and have submitted the requisite documentation and had carbon credits awarded to these projects.

Competitive Business Conditions and Smaller Reporting Company’s Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

The competition in our business is intense and is expected to grow exponentially.  There are carbon credit projects worldwide, involving governments, companies that emit carbon in their business operations and pubic and private investors, among others, and funding for these projects is being provided by numerous organizations, including UNFCCC and numerous countries.  However, presently, there is little question that most competitors in this industry have substantially more assets, goodwill, personnel, contacts and other business advantages than we do.  We intend to rely on our innovation, hard work and experience in competing in this industry.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers

There is no shortage of available forest that can be developed as REDD Carbon Credit projects, worldwide.

Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years

The audited financial statements of Carbon Strategic for its fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, together with its reviewed financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which are being prepared in accordance with US GAAP accounting standards, are required to be filed with the SEC within 75 days of the closing of the SPA, or on or before December 21, 2012.  It is currently impractical to provide this information until those financial statements are filed with the SEC.  However, the actual project development costs are borne by the forest owners; our costs are primarily related to travel, wages and the like.

Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

Our REDD Carbon Projects are all environmental related; however, we do not believe that any component of the developmental process should be measured in costs of compliance with environmental laws; it is intended that our projects will improve the environment.  See the previous heading, “Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years.”

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Plan of Operation (Oak Ridge and Carbon Strategic)

With the recent closing of the SPA between us, Newmark and Carbon Strategic, whereby we acquired Carbon Strategic as our wholly-owned subsidiary and its REDD Carbon Credit projects (see Items 1.01 and 2.01 and the caption “Business” of this Item above), and our recent purchase of equipment to further our development of the manufacturing process of our thin-film batteries, along with our recent lease of premises in Melbourne, Florida, at which we will maintain offices, our research and development equipment and laboratory, together with storage space, it is currently impractical to outline our Plan of Operation for the coming year.  We will formulate a Plan of Operation over the next few months for inclusion in our 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012.  However, a review of the information provided in Item 2 and our business description under the caption “Business” of this Item above should adequately describe what our business plan and Plan of Operation has been during the past 12 months, including our plans for the remainder of this year.  Reference is also made to our 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011, for further information in this respect (excluding Carbon Strategic), a copy of which is referenced in Item 9.01, and which is incorporated herein by reference.  

It is the intention of Carbon Strategic to change its fiscal year end of June 30 to a calendar year end, commencing the calendar year ended December 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The audited financial statements of Carbon Strategic for its fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, together with its reviewed financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which are being prepared in accordance with US GAAP accounting standards, are required to be filed with the SEC within 75 days of the closing of the SPA, or on or before December 21, 2012.  It is currently impractical to provide this information until those financial statements are filed with the SEC.  For prior information about us, excluding any information with respect to Carbon Strategic, see our referenced 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011, along with our three 10-Q Quarterly Reports for the quarters ended September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2012, copies of which are referenced in Item 9.01, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

Our common stock is presently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board of FINRA under the symbol “OKME” as reflected below, though the current trading volume is small.  No assurance can be given that any market for our common stock will continue in the future or be maintained.  If an “established trading market” ever develops in the future, the sale of “restricted securities” (common stock) pursuant to Rule 144 of the SEC by members of management or others, like Newmark or its designees, may have a substantial adverse impact on any such market.

The range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock during each quarter of the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 (excluding the quarter ended December 31, 2012, only), is shown below.
