LED was organized to develop and produce patented FDA Cleared Class II medical devices based upon NASA research used to treat injuries in space. Additionally, all of our products bear the CE marking which indicates compliance with European Union legislation of a product wherever in the world manufactured, enabling free movement within the European market. As discussed in greater detail in the Memorandum, the science behind LED Light Therapy is replicating specific spectrums of non-UV light produced by the sun that elicits specific cellular reactions within our bodies. Each spectrum of light from the sun creates specific responses in our body including cellular growth, creation of vitamin D, elimination of bacteria, increased vascular circulation. LED acknowledged the opportunity to capitalize on the aging population and the corresponding active lifestyle and initially chose to enter this market with Pain Relief and Anti-Aging spectrum devices. Shortly thereafter, LED realized the opportunity to serve over 40 million adults in the US suffering from adult acne and entered the acne market. With respect to the use of light therapy in the field of pain relief, scientific research has proven the efficacy of this treatment in the management of sports and muscle injuries, soft tissue recovery and general treatment of pain. LEDs FDA clearance extends into the treatment of pain and temporary relief of muscle spasms, joint pains, aches & stiffness associated with but not limited to Arthritis. In the field of anti-aging products and treatments, clinical research has proven that 625nm (red) and 830nm (infrared) light spectrums enhance cellular metabolism, accelerating the repair and replacement of damaged skin cells, production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Clinical studies have shown that skins cells grow 150%200% faster when exposed to these wavelengths, delivering therapeutic benefits to living tissue. Additionally medical studies have proven the efficacy of 415nm (non-UV) blue light spectrum in the treatment of Acne. This light spectrum targets and destroys bacteria within the dermis layers that cause acne and other bacteria related skin ailments showing fast and safe results within days.

Important to the future market potential of our LED Light Therapy products is that they work in conjunction with virtually all of the currently existing therapeutic anti-aging creams in the market. A number of studies, including by NASA, Harvard University and DARPA, confirm that when using LED Light Therapy in conjunction with the existing topical anti-aging creams and ointments, the effect is to increase the effectiveness of the anti-ageing topical by as much as 12.5 times their normal effect. Basically these studies have shown that existing antiaging topical products work even better when used in conjunction with LED Light Therapy. As a result, Management is currently working with a major formulator and manufacturer of these creams and topical products to develop and market our own proprietary prestige line of topical creams and ointments. For additional information on the science behind our products, see the Memorandum, BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY - The Science Behind Our Next Generation Products, and Future Product Development at page 22, page 28. Our products have been developed with the intent of intervening with light therapy in the chronologic and photo-aging processes both before lines and wrinkles begin to appear at rest, to help prevent or at least slow down their appearance, and in reversing the appearance of lines and wrinkles after they have appeared. Our products are based on the use of very specific doses of selected light to help prevent the skin damage with which sunlight is associated, in a somewhat similar way, as inoculation with weakened forms of a virus is used to help prevent subsequent infection by the same virus. The entire concept of phototherapy for anti-aging, in what has been termed photoanti-aging, is based on increasing the natural strength of the skin at an early stage, say the early to mid-20s, so that the power of the skin to

resist the photo-aging processes is increased. However, our products are not merely intended for use by the young, although prevention is always preferable to remediation, the most remarkable benefits of LED Light Therapy come from the allimportant lighttissue reactions that are firmly founded on the solid principles of photobiology. Skin cells are the primary target in photoanti-aging and not just the fibroblasts (cells found in tissue that produce collagen), but also the leukocytes, the macrophages, the mast cells, and the keratinocytes in the epidermal basal layer, not to mention the photoenhanced dermal blood and lymphatic flow, which has been well documented in the literature as supporting and accelerating wound healing and neocollagenesis. Essentially, LED Light Therapy works to increase the growth of stem cells, fibroblast and other healthy cells in the skin and enhances the production of collagen and elastin, both of which work to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles by restoring the natural plumpness found in young skin. We believe our products will occupy a highly favorable market position as currently there is no other panel or universal light therapy system for directto-consumer at home use. All competitive systems currently exist as commercial products, used primarily in High-End Spas, Dermatologists offices and Medical Spas, and in the medical arena in Physical Therapist, Chiropractor, and Alternative Medicine offices. These competitive panel systems cost many thousands of dollars putting them beyond the average consumer for at-home use. Our products have been designed and priced to be affordably by a wide range of consumers. Between the skin care use (including treatment of acne and related skin disorders, and the pain use), our target market is every household. Having products of different price points and functionality allows us to reach and saturate a larger customer base through multiple channels of distribution. In June 2013, we launched a new retail branded product line named reVive Light Therapy under a licensing agreement with Kathy Ireland which has been approved by Bed Bath & Beyond and is currently being reviewed in several other Drug, Beauty, Department, Mass Merchandise and Online retail outlets. 2013 also brought on another high level celebrity model skincare partner in Jennifer Flavin-Stallone, the founder of Serious Skin Care, currently the top selling brand for HSN. We have entered into a Private

Label arrangement for SSC which will be sold exclusively through HSN starting October, 2013. See Agreement With Kathy Ireland below. We are also in discussion with the 3rd largest Cosmetic Network Marketing Company to provide a similar Private Label product for their 300,000 global sales agents. We anticipate consummating this arrangement by the end of 2013 and deliver the first units by mid-2014. 2014 will signal another significant achievement for us as we begin to expand distribution internationally with some key partners in Europe, Latin America and Australia. Potential celebrity partnerships are Bar Rafaeli Europe/Middle East, Selma Hayek-Latin America and Elle McPherson-Australia. We produce a full line of accessories to support additional sales and revenue opportunities, including DPL Peptide Serum, DPL Advanced Peptide Serum, DPC Penetrating pain Cream, multiple body straps, user attachments and extended warranties. Topical ointments are available with an automatic ship options to ensure consistent reoccurring revenue streams and maximum benefits to our customers. We believe that there are significant opportunities for additional products in the market as consumer awareness of light therapy grows. Some of the possible product extensions are Hair Growth/Removal, Wound Healing, Skin Toning, SAD, etc. The proof of our belief in the future of our products is evidence by our recent marketing experience. Pursuant to our newly reached agreement with QVC Home Shopping Network, we recently introduced our initial pain therapy product to their home shopping audience. The reception to this product exceeded our expectations and we sold 2,150 units in only 17 minutes. As a result, shortly thereafter we received a second order from QVC for delivery of 3,580 units for delivery in September, 2013. Further, in mid-October QVC placed a third order for 7,150 units, representing over $500,000 of product, for delivery in December 2013. It is important to remember that currently the only product offered by QVC is the hand-held pain relief system. We expect that product sales will dramatically increase to QVC once our antiaging/beauty system is also offered to QVC customers, which is planned for

early 2014. Of equal importance is the fact that our products have experienced a return rate of only 14.7%, as compared to the 28% rate QVC reports for products in the same category as ours.

The technology underlying our products is based on the original technology relating to the use of LED Light treatments in space developed by NASA and is FDA cleared and has been used for these purposes for years in dermatology offices, high-end spas and related medical and alternative care facilities. The treatments and benefits of our LED Light Therapy based products, in the anti-aging/beauty, acne treatment and pain relief fields, that have received FDA Clearance include: Removal and Reduction of Wrinkles and the delay in the onset of wrinkles; Increases the effectiveness of a wide range of anti-ageing topical by as much as 12.5 time their normal effect. Basically these studies have shown that existing anti-aging topical products work even better when used in conjunction with LED Light Therapy.

LED Light Therapy resurfaces skin by removing the dead and damaged skin on the top layer of the dermis and replaces it with new non damaged skin. Unlike other methods and products currently available, such as chemical peels and various abrasion technologies, LED Light Therapy does not simply scrape off skin but, rather, uses the bodys own internal mechanisms to shed dead and damaged skin cells and grow new ones in their place without damage to the skin. Enhances existing collagen and elastin in the skin to help in the reduction of wrinkles and other visible signs of aging. Almost every product in the beauty industry makes this claim to one degree or another. However, once again, only LED Light Therapy has been proven to use the bodys own internal systems to enhance and increase the growth of fibroblast cells (a type of natural stem cell in the skin) in order to produce more rapid growth, and higher levels of both collagen and elastin through increased mitosis, returning the natural appearance of the skin to a more youthful appearance. LED Light Therapy has been proven in various studies to increase fibroblast cell individual production by up to 4 time while also increasing the epithelial stem cell life span. It has also been proven over time to remove blemishes, sun spots and age spots, such rosacea and other blemish disorders, restoring a persons natural skin tone and color. Basically if someone has a skin condition or damage, their skin becomes uneven. Most

of the make-up products currently used by women simply work by covering up the blemishes to make their skin appear to be even. LED Light Therapy has been proven to reverse and actually heal the skin restoring an even more youthful tone to the skin. LED Light Therapy (using Blue Light) has been proven to kill acne and other bacterial parasites and prevents future flare-ups. It kills the bacteria that causes acne rather than just covering up the problem. LED Light Therapy is proven to result in temporary relief of pain from arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle spasms, sprains and strains, increasing blood flow, and oxygen to affected areas resulting in: Increased wound healing. Increased healing of burns. Reduced Scars. Reduced inflammation. Increased injury recovery. Reduction and or removal Sun Damage. Reduced inflammation, pain, discomfort and limitations associated with, muscle spasms and knots, neuropathy, strains and stress tight muscles, arthritis, range of motion loss, neck pain and stiffness, shoulder and back pain, swelling, nerve injuries, bursitis and the pain associated with fibromyalgia and prostatitis.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY - This section is a summary of the core financial features/benefits that are offered through the purchase of single or multiple units in this offering.
FINANCIAL FEATURE! DESCRIPTION!
12% Annual Interest paid monthly to the Investor.

BENEFITS!
The 12% yield is significantly higher than average yields of alternative first position secured investments available today, including government bonds, preferred stocks and income annuities. Additionally, the monthly payment of interest provides more immediate access to your money than most other investments which pay quarterly or semi-annually (see discussion in Item 2 below as well as the Comparative Yield and Hold Analysis later in this Summary.) The interest is paid monthly (1% per month) for the entire 12 month term. At the end of the term the inventor is repaid the principal in full. The high yield is far superior to the average income annuity rates while still protecting and repaying the principal in full at the end of the term. For example for every $100,000 invested the interest payment will be $1,000 per month for the term of the security. After the final months payment the entire principle will be repaid to the investor in full. The benefits of this are self-evident in that there is a continuously expanding pool of assets (cash, inventory, accounts receivable and other capital assets) that secures the repayment of the principal amount of the Debentures. Although we believe that most investors will elect to renew the Debentures for a third year, we have established a sinking fund of segregated cash to accommodate those who elect to be repaid at the end of the third year!

HIGH INTEREST YIELD!

HIGH YIELD REGULAR MONTHLY INTEREST PAYMENTS! FIRST POSITION SECURED INVESTMENT

Interest payments are made by check directly to the investor on a monthly basis.!

Investment is senior debt secured by the assets of the company including cash, inventory, accounts receivable and other capital assets. Based upon projected growth rates we believe that during their term the Debenture principal will never exceed the pledged assets. We have also established a sinking fund that segregates available cash to provide an immediate funds for repayment of Debentures that are not renewed by investors after the second year.

! SHORT TERM ADVANTAGE


Interest payments are made on a monthly basis beginning 30 days after the Debentures are issued. The initial term of the Debentures is only 1 year, renewable for an additional year at the sole option of the investor thereby allowing you to lock in this high rate of return for up to two years at your option. Investors have the sole option to extend the investment for an additional year at the same high rate of interest regardless of whether lower interest loans become available to the Company.! Investor will have the right at the end of the term of the Debentures to either receive a return of their principal amount or to convert all or a portion of those funds into Shares of the Companys Common Stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share. Investors are afforded a dependable monthly revenue stream to help meet current needs and are required to lock up their principal for only 1 year!

INVESTOR OPTION TO EXTEND RIGHT TO CONVERT TO SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Unlike many high yield investments, the Debentures are not based on indexing which could reduce the interest yield if market factors change. This permits investors to lock in a 12% yield for up to 3 years at their sole option.

!
This right affords investors to enjoy the high yield offered by the Debentures while the Company grows to the point where it can effectively conduct a public offering of its common stock and become a publicly traded company. If the Company is not successful to the point where a public offering is feasible then the investor may simple elect to receive a return of his principal amount. If the Company projections prove accurate and it is able to attract an Underwriter to undertake a public offering of its shares then the investor may elect to participate at what we believe will be a highly favorable price as the conversion price has been set based upon the Companys current stage of development.!

COMPARATIVE YIELD AND HOLD ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT This section provides a comparative analysis of the various financial features of this investment vs. other potential investments based on both their historical numbers and contractual limitations.
