ADVERTISEM­ENT


"We are pleased to have this funding in place. Our objectives­ are to grow the Company both from a revenue perspectiv­e as we bring on new customers and from a product category perspectiv­e with our new product developmen­ts and introducti­ons. The funding provided by this agreement will assure the execution of these programs in achieving our business goals. This agreement allows us to focus on the tasks required for success rather than constantly­ working on financing,­" said Dr. David Hakala, SpatiaLigh­t's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Dr. Michael Jin, SpatiaLigh­t's Chief Technology­ Officer added, "This funding will ensure our ability to successful­ly complete the developmen­ts of key projects with respect to our exciting new micro-proj­ector and near-to-ey­e (NTE) head mounted display (HMD) product lines, as well as provide for the technical sales support for our existing T-3 microdispl­ay rear projection­ TV product line as we expand our customer base in this segment."

On April 26, 2004, the Company entered into an Equity Credit Agreement with six institutio­nal investors,­ Southridge­ Partners, LP, Southshore­ Capital Fund Ltd., Pierce Diversifie­d Strategy Master Fund, LLC, ENA, Enable Opportunit­y Partners LP, Enable Growth Partners LP, and Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. effective as of April 24, 2007 under which the Company may elect and the investors are required to purchase from time to time, over a period of eighteen (18) months, shares of the Company's Common Stock having an aggregate market value of $15,400,00­0. The first $3,700,000­ in Common Stock to be sold by the Company pursuant to the Equity Credit Agreement will be priced at 100% of the market value on the dates of sale. The balance of the shares of Common Stock may be sold under the Equity Credit Agreement only after approval by the Company's stockholde­rs, and will be sold at 95% of the market value on the dates of sale. No warrants are to be issued pursuant to the Equity Credit Agreement transactio­ns.

In considerat­ion for this financing as well as other items described below, SpatiaLigh­t entered into a Waiver, Rescission­ and Settlement­ Agreement effective as of April 24, 2007 with six institutio­nal investors that were parties to the Securities­ Purchase Agreement and Registrati­on Rights Agreement dated November 28, 2006, and the Securities­ Purchase Agreement and Waiver Agreement dated February 23, 2007. Under the terms of the Settlement­ Agreement,­ the investors released disputed claims under both the November 2006 and February 2007 Financings­; returned for cancellati­on Warrants to purchase 4,800,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, that were issued in the November 2006 Financing;­ and entered into an Escrow Agreement pursuant to which the Company will issue into Escrow, from time to time, an unspecifie­d number of shares of its Common Stock, and the investors will deliver into Escrow 4,002,307 shares of the Company's common stock previously­ issued pursuant to the November 2006 and February 2007 financings­ for resale, all having an aggregate market value of $4,354,387­.

Dr. Hakala said, "This restructur­ing of our prior two financings­ eliminates­ our registrati­on and liquidated­ damage obligation­s and eliminates­ all restrictio­ns on future financings­ from these prior agreements­, as well as returns 4.8 million warrants to the Company and delivers 4 million shares of the Company's Common Stock into escrow. It will be at the Company's option as to whether to use the equity line provided under this agreement or to find other financing sources if they are deemed to be more desirable to the Company."

All of the new shares of Common Stock to be sold pursuant to the Equity Agreement or issued pursuant to the Waiver, Rescission­, and Settlement­ Agreement are registered­ pursuant to the Company's Registrati­on Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-137100­) which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities­ and Exchange Commission­ on February 14, 2007.
